Warlords: Rising from the Northwest Border and Sweeping Across the Powers

Chapter 240 Kudo Kubo surrenders to Liu Chengxu's new plan

After the battle, the 103rd Division killed more than 103 enemies, and captured more than 103 Fuso soldiers. Unexpectedly, when the rd Division entered the city, Kudo Kubo led his troops to surrender directly, and continued to cooperate with the rd Division to launch a comprehensive attack on the Suzuki Division.

After the battle, Liu Chengxu personally led his men into the city, and Kudo Kubo was also tied up and sent to Liu Chengxu.

Liu Chengxu looked at Kudo Kubo who was kneeling in front of him with great interest, and slowly asked, "The relationship between your two divisions is really interesting. In such a critical situation, you can still stage a civil strife. It is really a rare story. But I am very curious, why did you fight with the Suzuki Division?"

Kudo Kubo was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Liu Chengxu and said, "For dignity!"

Liu Chengxu seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and laughed loudly: "So, now you have become a prisoner of our Northwest Revolutionary Army, kneeling in front of me, and are about to be sent to see your Amaterasu. Is this also for dignity?"

Kudo Kubo said without hesitation: "I can accept being beaten by the enemy on the front battlefield, but I cannot tolerate our own people insulting our Hokkai Division!"

Liu Chengxu laughed in silence and no longer wanted to ask any more questions. He waved his hand and said, "Cut off Kudo Kubo's head and hang it on the wall of Fu'an City. Dig a pit and bury all the Fuso Kwantung Army prisoners alive!"

The two soldiers immediately prepared to drag Kudo Kubo away by force.

Kudo Kubo struggled and shouted hysterically: "You Northwest Revolutionary Army came to the Northeast to attack the Fuso Kwantung Army and turn the situation on the front battlefield! We can cooperate, I can help you achieve your goal more easily!"

Liu Chengxu waved his hand, signaling the two soldiers to stop what they were doing. Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked up to Kudo Kubo, looked into his eyes, and said word by word, "Why should I trust you? There is an old saying in China, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.' You are an ambitious Fuso man, you are not worthy of my trust at all, take me away!"

There was a strong look of unwillingness in Kudo Kubo's eyes.

"I have a way to make the two main divisions of the Kwantung Army responsible for the rescue enter the ambush circle of your First Army. Once all five Class A divisions including the western battlefield are destroyed on the battlefield, it means that the conspiracy of the Fuso Empire to invade China has been completely shattered! And you, General Liu, will become a hero of the entire China!"

Liu Chengxu signaled the two soldiers to stop again and said to Kudo Kubo: "Tell me your so-called method. Let me hear if it can buy you the right to survive temporarily."

Kudo Kubo organized his words and spoke concisely, "The reason why the headquarters still sent two main divisions to break through the blockade and rush to the rescue when the destruction of the three major divisions on the western battlefield was a foregone conclusion was because Suzuki Yoshinari's identity was extraordinary."

"The head of the Suzuki family, Suzuki Masao, is not only the second largest conglomerate in Fuso and the behind-the-scenes controller of the Suzuki Consortium, but he also has a close relationship with the current Prime Minister of Fuso, the Commander-in-Chief of the Kwantung Army, Higashino Minamijiro, and others. They have extremely deep interests involved. Once Suzuki Yoshinori's safety is in trouble, the Kwantung Army will not be able to explain to the country at all!"

"As long as I continue to send messages for help to the headquarters and explain that the Suzuki Division and the Hokkaido Division can still hold on to Nakago County, and your blocking troops on the north deliberately leave a gap, the Xianghe and Umekawa Divisions will definitely do their best to rush to the rescue and fall into the trap of your First Army!"

Liu Chengxu pondered for a moment, looked at Kudo Kubo and said, "I heard that Suzuki Kasanagi is dead, and you killed him yourself. What can you say that they will come to rescue you?"

"I have a way to deal with it. As long as General Liu gives me some support, I will definitely be able to do it."

"What is your purpose in cooperating with our First Army so actively?"

Kudo Kubo looked directly into Liu Chengxu's inquiring eyes without hesitation and blurted out: "I want to live!"

Unlike Suzuki Yoshinaga who has the support of a big family, Kudo Kubo, who was born in a poor peasant family in Fuso and relied on his own efforts to get to where he is today, has long been alone. The attitude of the Suzuki Division this time completely chilled the heart of Kudo Kubo, who came from a poor family. In a rage, Kudo Kubo decided to start a civil war with the Suzuki Division. After calming down and regaining his sanity, the only thing he wants now is to leave the battlefield, stay away from war, stay away from right and wrong, find a completely unfamiliar place, and start a new life.

"You'd better do what you say. If you dare to play any tricks, I will send you to hell immediately!"

Half an hour later, under the personal supervision of several soldiers and Liu Chengxu, Suzuki Yoshinori sat in a house and used the radio left behind by the Hokkaido Division to contact the Kwantung Army's front headquarters.

Liu Chengxu kept a close eye on Kudo Kubo's every move, and asked the people in the communication battalion to closely monitor the content of Kudo Kubo's telegram. After Kudo Kubo finished sending the message, Liu Chengxu asked, "What if before you contacted the Kwantung Army's frontline headquarters, the people of the Suzuki Division had already contacted them in advance and conveyed the news of the rebellion of the Hokkaido Division in the city? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?"

Kudo Kubo responded calmly: "As soon as the war started, I led my men to capture the Suzuki Division's headquarters and took away their radio and all their communication equipment."

"You are quite thoughtful."

After the Kwantung Army front command received a telegram from the Hokkaido Division in Nakago Prefecture, the front-line commander-in-chief Yamada Uchimoto was extremely anxious.

The content of the telegram stated that the Suzuki-Hokkai Division in the city had been completely out of food, and the division commander, Suzuki Yoshiaki, had been seriously injured in the enemy's incessant bombing. His wounds had begun to become infected, and if he could not receive proper treatment in a short time, he would most likely die on the spot.

If Suzuki Yoshiaki had not been there and the destruction of the two major divisions was inevitable, perhaps in order to consider the overall situation, Fuso would have completely given up on rescue. However, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, Higashino Minamijiro, had called the front line many times and repeatedly instructed that Suzuki Yoshiaki must be guaranteed to evacuate safely, and Yamada Uchimoto did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

What they didn't know was that at this time, Suzuki Yoshihisa had already been sent to accompany their so-called Amaterasu.

Yamada Uchimoto immediately wrote back to Kudo Hisabo, asking him to ensure the safety of Suzuki Yoshinari and hold on until help. At the same time, he issued a death order to the Shokaku and Umekawa Divisions that were blocked by the 101st Division north of Xueling County, asking them to rush to Nakago County within two days at all costs and resolve the difficulties faced by the Hokkaido Division and the Suzuki Division.
