The Eighth Route Army is going to attack Taiyuan?
Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki Masao were also panicking. Yamamoto Kazuki's face was still calm, but his expression also changed.
Although Yamamoto Kazuki has excellent psychological quality, facing Li Yunlong was like facing a big mountain. A huge sense of oppression rushed towards him, making him breathless.
In two years, his record of killing 16 Japanese generals made him, a self-proclaimed special expert, feel ashamed and ashamed.
The best record that Yamamoto's special agent team could achieve was just killing a lieutenant general and division commander of the national army.
In this battle, if the First Army stationed in Taiyuan was completely wiped out, I am afraid that Li Yunlong would have to add a few more to the list of Japanese generals killed, and there would still be several.
In the First Army Headquarters alone, there are four officers above major general.
In addition to the commander of the 41st Division, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the commander of the 14th Brigade and the commander of the 18th Brigade, there are 4 generals, and there are a total of 8 Japanese generals in Taiyuan and its surroundings.
While Yamamoto Kazuki was thinking, Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced at the three of them and said, "The Eighth Route Army is about to attack Taiyuan. What do you think?"
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Chief of Staff Hua Guzheng said first, "I suggest that the defense should be deployed immediately, and the center of gravity of the defense should be arranged in the north of Taiyuan. Although the 129th Division in the southeast of Shanxi has many troops, the new regiment in the northwest of Shanxi
Their firepower is the strongest and their soldiers are the most elite. We can move the 41st Division to the north of Taiyuan, the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade to the south of Taiyuan, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade and Yamada Regiment as reserves.
, and at the same time ordered the 37th Division and the 33rd Division to be prepared to reinforce Taiyuan."
Miyazaki Masao also said: "General Okamura Neiji will never sit back and watch our First Army be wiped out, so he will definitely send reinforcements. As long as we can hold on to Taiyuan for a month, the reinforcements will definitely arrive, and the siege of Taiyuan will be lifted by then.
."
Iwamatsu Yoshio nodded, and seeing Yamamoto Kazuki looking thoughtful, he asked: "Yamamoto-kun, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, I was wondering, could this be the Eighth Route Army's plan to encircle the point and provide reinforcements?" Yamamoto Kazuki was slightly startled. He didn't want to say more at first, but Iwamatsu Kazuo asked, so he had no choice but to express his thoughts.
Said it out.
"Surrounding the point for reinforcements?" Yoshio Iwamatsu asked, "Where should the Eighth Route Army surround and where should they attack?"
Yamamoto Kazuki said: "Of course, besiege Taiyuan and attack the 33rd Division, the 37th Division, and the 1st Division stationed in Datong!"
"Of course, this is just my guess. If the Eighth Route Army cannot get reinforcements, it is likely to become angry and attack Taiyuan."
"If the Eighth Route Army attacks Taiyuan, the reinforcements must be ordered to be careful to avoid falling into the Eighth Route Army's plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements."
Hearing this, Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded again. Yamamoto Kazuki's words made sense.
But anyway.
The Eighth Route Army will definitely take major combat operations in the near future, and the target is the First Army stationed in Shanxi.
Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "Hanagani-kun!"
Chief of Staff Hua Guzheng straightened up.
Iwamatsu Yoshio: "Just arrange it according to your method, let the 41st Division defend the new Eighth Route Army Regiment, 14th Brigade and 18th Brigade in northwest Shanxi, defend the 129th Division, and order the 33rd Division and 37th Division
The main force is assembled and on standby, ready to reinforce Taiyuan at any time!"
"Hi!" Hua Guzheng lowered his head suddenly, turned around and left quickly.
…
Just when the Japanese army was preparing to prepare for the main attack of the Eighth Route Army.
Northwest Shanxi.
Zhaojiayu.
New Regiment Headquarters.
Liu Dali reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Ganghui: "Reporting to the head of the delegation and the political commissar, the situation of this senior agent has been roughly understood."
Li Yunlong asked: "Have the Japanese recruited senior agents?"
It has to be said that this senior agent's secrets are really deep. Who would have thought that an ordinary cook could actually be a senior spy of the Japanese army?
If it weren't for the technical assistance provided by Boss Chen, it would be really difficult for Li Yunlong and the others to catch him.
Firstly, this guy is deeply hidden, and secondly, he is very cautious. Only when he obtains high-value information will he reveal his flaws.
Liu Dali responded: "That's not true. This old devil didn't say a word and even hid poison in his teeth. But I have ordered the soldiers to knock out the teeth that hid the poison."
Hirayama Seisuke wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, but as soon as he was held down, a smelly sock was stuffed into his mouth, and he had no time to bite the poison capsule.
Zhao Gang asked: "What is going on?"
Liu Dali told Li Yunlong what he had learned.
This senior Japanese agent, named Hirayama Kiyosuke, was lurking in a military subdivision of the Eighth Route Army's Jinan Military Region.
After receiving the order from Okamura Neiji, Hirayama Seisuke took a letter of introduction from the Jinan Military Region to his relatives in Taoshugou Village in northwestern Shanxi. Because of the letter of introduction, he was a cook in the Jinan Military Region and was good at cooking.
The food was fast and delicious, so it was natural to become a cook in the cooking squad of the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company.
The last time the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi ambushed the 1st Division, because the Second Battalion was conducting field survival training outside at that time, the cooking soldiers did not follow. When the Second Battalion received the order, the Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu directly led the team to follow the army.
The troops gathered together and returned to Taoshugou after the battle was over.
Therefore, Hirayama Kiyosuke did not know that the main force of the new regiment had gone to ambush the 1st Division.
After listening to Liu Dali's report, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both frightened.
How dangerous!
If the battle plan to ambush the 1st Division was exposed, not only would they not be able to make a fortune, but the Japanese army would set up the artillery regiment and the heavy artillery regiment in the distance and bombard the ambush areas of the New Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.
The loss to one group is definitely not small.
"Wang Jinma?" Zhao Gang thought about it carefully and said, "I have an impression of this name. In that batch of suspect lists, my fishing plan didn't actually catch him?"
"How else could he be a senior agent?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "We have to do it ourselves, Lao Li, otherwise it will take years and months to get him out with your kid?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time, the real combat targets of the new regiment are the Japanese 33rd Division and the 37th Division. If this senior agent is allowed to follow him, he will probably be killed.
If you notice an abnormality and send the information to Okamura Neiji and let the 33rd Division and the 37th Division slip away, your work will be in vain.
Fortunately, the senior Japanese agents were captured before the combat operation.
Zhao Gang curled his lips slightly in annoyance. If it weren't for Boss Chen's technical assistance, even ten Li Yunlong would not be able to find a senior agent.
Zhao Gang asked: "Lao Li, what should we do with this senior agent? Should he be shot?"
Agents and spies do not belong to the category of prisoners. Even if Li Yunlong shot Hirayama Kiyosuke, the headquarters would not blame him.
Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "Don't shoot him first. Send a few more people to guard him. Don't let him escape and commit suicide. We will interrogate him after the war and find a way to pry his mouth open. This person may be useful to us in the future."
"
Zhao Gang nodded, the senior agent was found out, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Li Yunlong looked serious: "Chief of Staff, immediately order the main force of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to move closer to our New First Regiment!"
"yes!"
Wang Dehou responded loudly.
Later, Wang Dehou personally drafted a telegram and asked the telegraph soldiers to send it to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong sighed with emotion: "Boss Chen's radio monitoring vehicle is really something. Using it to counter espionage is invincible."
As for counter-espionage, if they are ordinary agents or spies, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang can deal with them.
But when it comes to high-level agents or spies like pangolins, it's more difficult to deal with them. I have experience in this area, but not much.
Even if an experienced underground party takes action, they cannot say 100% that they can uncover the enemy's senior agents.
but.
If you don’t have enough experience, you need technology.
Zhao Gang said: "According to Boss Chen, this radio monitoring vehicle is much more advanced than the little devil's radio monitoring vehicle. I suggest that we get more of these vehicles in our future business. Each military region of our Eighth Route Army is equipped with 1 to 2 vehicles.
Senior agents and spies specially used to fight against the Japanese."
This radio monitoring vehicle was obtained on credit from Boss Chen. Boss Chen did not give it to him for free. He had to kill Japanese soldiers to repay it.
However, the price of the radio surveillance vehicle is not expensive. As long as you kill a squadron of Japanese soldiers, you can exchange it for one at Boss Chen's place.
"That makes sense!"
Li Yunlong nodded while looking thoughtful.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have already realized how important intelligence is to modern warfare.
With the support of Boss Chen's intelligence, the battle plan produced by the Japanese Army Headquarters had just been prepared the day before, and the Japanese Army's battle plan was placed on Li Yunlong's desk the next day.
Although sometimes, the battle plans obtained by Boss Chen are not so detailed.
But even if you know the general offensive thinking of the Japanese army, you can still formulate corresponding targeted combat plans based on the Japanese army's operational thinking, and then win the battle.
Li Yunlong decided that after this battle is over, he must build a few more radio monitoring vehicles.
It's best to have a little bit of information and not let the Japanese know about it.
…
The next night.
The main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment came to the defense area of the New Regiment to assemble.
Like the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment have completed pre-war mobilization and distributed ammunition and dry food, preparing for a big fight.
The main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were preparing to rest briefly in the defense area of the New Regiment before heading north again.
The Japanese secret posts, strongholds and checkpoints lurking on the road from northwest Shanxi to Datong have been discovered by the Sharp Sword Squadron.
Only the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment need to send some elite troops to cooperate, and these secret posts, strongholds and checkpoints can be eliminated.
After that, the main force of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment can go north along the road to Datong and attack the 1st Division.
After a short rest, the main forces of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment moved towards Datong at night.
At the same time, the main force of the new regiment advanced toward Mount Wutai and the North Taihang area in the east.
The main force of the 129th Division in Southeast Shanxi moved north towards Datong, Shouyang and Yangquan at almost the same time.
