Chapter 489 Arrogant Abe Sani
What Abe Mitsui didn't know was that since the Devil's Division officially left the south of the bay and headed towards the west of the bay, their every move, real-time progress and coordinates were continuously transmitted to the headquarters where Chen Tong was located and the missile base in Cuizhu County.
These Japanese devils were complacent and thought they could turn the tide of the war, but they didn't know that the knife of fate was already pointed at them and would ruthlessly harvest them at any time.
Early the next morning, the Devil's Division set out again and by noon had arrived at Liangjian Mountain, only 42 kilometers away from Wanxi City.
Abe Mitsui sat in his command vehicle, his eyes filled with contempt for the Chinese troops, and he slowly said, "It seems that the commander of China is nothing but an embroidered pillow and a bag of straw, with only a false name. If I were to command this war, I would definitely send an elite force to set up an ambush at Liangjian Mountain when I learned that the Wandao Corps was dispatched to participate in the war. The terrain here is complex, with high mountains and dense forests. There is only one road that can pass through, which is the best place to set up an ambush. The fact that China has not made any moves for ten consecutive days also shows that there are big problems with their supply allocation."
Xiang Wutaiguang beside Abe Mitsui nodded in agreement and said, "What the division commander said is right. It seems that we overestimated them. The victory they achieved in Northeast China before was only due to the incompetence of the Kwantung Army and their huge advantage in equipment."
Abe Mitsui waved his hand and said, "Their ace troops such as the Revitalization Division, the Viking Division, and the Skull Division have indeed reached the world's top army combat level, but the troops responsible for the expedition to Liuwan this time are basically from China's Southern Theater, and are composed of the old parts of the Lian and Feng factions. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are far inferior to China's ace troops."
Abe Mitsui paused and continued, "This is the Chinese side's naked contempt for the Southern Government. However, they will eventually pay the price for their arrogance."
In the afternoon, the sun shone obliquely on the Liangjian Mountain Valley, covering the rugged mountains with a layer of golden gauze. More than 30,000 people from the Devil's Division, like a steel torrent, silently passed through the throat of the valley and arrived outside Wanxi City.
The city wall of Wanxi City looks particularly weathered in the afterglow of the setting sun, and every brick and stone on the city seems to be telling the vicissitudes and history of this city.
Inside the city, the Southern Government's troops were already on high alert, their eyes focused on the open space outside the city, where the main force of the Devil's Division was stationed, preparing for the next move.
Liu Fang, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Government, was standing on the city wall, looking at the camp from afar. His face showed both expectation and nervousness. He knew that the arrival of the Devil Division was undoubtedly an important military aid for the Southern Government.
Soon, Liu Fang personally went down to the city and led a team of elite soldiers to the camp of the Devil Division. In the camp, flags were flying and the cavalry was majestic, showing the might of the Fuso army. Abe Mitsui and other major officers had been waiting in front of the tent for a long time, and there was a hint of disdain and arrogance on their faces.
Liu Fang stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Captain Abe, I've long heard of your name! The 18th Division you lead is a well-known iron-blooded division throughout Southeast Asia. It's a pleasure to meet you." His voice was full of enthusiasm and respect, but Abe Mitsui didn't seem to appreciate it.
Abe Mitsui glanced at Liu Fang coldly, with a disdainful smile on his lips. He did not return the greeting, but said calmly: "Commander Liu, we are here to complete our mission, not to make friends with you. I hope you can understand this."
Liu Fang was furious when he heard this. He originally thought that Abe Mitsui and others would show him some respect, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant and rude. However, he also knew that now was not the time to get angry. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and kept a polite smile on his face.
"We understand what Commander Abe said. We just hope that both sides can work together to deal with the enemy in front of us," said Liu Fang.
Abe Mitsui didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly, then turned and walked into the tent. Liu Fang looked at his back, and his dissatisfaction became stronger.
"Captain Abe, I have already arranged a welcoming banquet in the city to invite you and your officers to enjoy delicious food and wine together." Liu Fang said softly, with a hint of imperceptible flattery in his voice. He shamelessly followed Abe Mitsui and stepped into the spacious and bright command post.
The sunlight shone into the room through the half-open window, reflecting the serious and cold face of Abe Mitsui. Liu Fang felt that he had already lowered his posture sufficiently. After all, these Japanese people came to help their country. No matter how arrogant they were, they should give him, the commander-in-chief of the southern government, some face.
However, when Abe Mitsui heard Liu Fang's invitation, his face suddenly darkened. He turned around abruptly, his eyes shot at Liu Fang like a knife, and he scolded him unceremoniously: "I came here to help you defend the city and to fight against the Chinese army! Not to eat and drink with you and make friends. No wonder your southern government is powerless under the suppression of the enemy army, you are a bunch of useless guys who only know how to indulge in pleasure!"
Abe Mitsui's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Liu Fang's heart. Liu Fang felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart, his fists clenched, and his whole body trembled. He had never been humiliated like this, especially in front of his subordinates. His face flushed red, and his eyes flashed with anger.
However, Liu Fang also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper. He suppressed his anger and tried to keep his tone calm: "Captain Abe, I understand what you mean. However, as the host, I feel it is necessary to fulfill my duties as a host. Moreover, through this banquet, we can better communicate on strategies and cooperation matters, which will also be helpful for the next battle."
Abe Mitsui sneered, said nothing more, and turned around to continue dealing with the matter at hand. Liu Fang stood there, looking at Abe Mitsui's back, but the anger in his heart could not be calmed for a long time.
Half a minute later, Liu Fang took a deep breath, forced out a smile, and said to Abe Mitsui: "Since Commander Abe has no intention of attending the banquet, I will not disturb you. If you need anything, please let me know at any time."
After Liu Fang finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the command post without waiting for Abe Mitsui to respond.
Abe Mitsui said at this time: "Wait, I want detailed information about the Chinese Expeditionary Army, including their number, distribution and stationing locations, and specific firepower configurations."
Liu Fang turned around and said, "Since the enemy has been transporting troops and supplies from the mainland to the island, we are not very clear about their current specific situation. As of the end of the last battle between the two sides, China has a total of about two army-level troops and several division-level troops on the island, with a total of about 150,000 people."
