Okamura Neiji is convening another meeting with Japanese officers.
In addition to the chief and deputy chief of staff.
Also attending the meeting were several infantry division commanders and an aviation division commander who participated in the sweep, as well as several other close staff officers.
Okamura Neji's eyes were deep as he scanned the faces of all the officers.
During this period of time, he arranged for intelligence experts to secretly investigate several close staff members around him. If you don't investigate, you won't know. This investigation really found some problems.
Among his close advisers, there is an intelligence adviser named Ohashi Changan who goes to a barbecue restaurant every week.
According to an in-depth investigation by the Peking Special Higher Education Department, there is something wrong with this barbecue restaurant, and the manager is a member of the democratic system.
Okamura Neiji soon realized that the manager of this barbecue restaurant was probably a double agent, working for both the Kuomintang and the Eighth Route Army.
The whereabouts of Lieutenant General Miyano Michichi of the Kwantung Army must have been reported from this barbecue restaurant.
However, what Neji Okamura didn't know was that Ohashi Tsunea was a native of Osaka, and he accidentally discovered that the owner of this barbecue restaurant was a spy, but he kept it secret.
Instead, he started a business with the owner of a barbecue restaurant and exchanged some unimportant and useless information with him for gold bars.
Daqiao Changan would never dare to leak such core information.
Although using useless information to do business with the other party would mean death if he was discovered, Ohashi Changan still knew it clearly. He only sold useless information and never betrayed the interests of the Japanese Empire.
However, Okamura Neiji didn't know this, and Ohashi Changan couldn't clean it up even after he jumped into the Yellow River.
It makes Okamura Neiji very angry that the spy is actually beside me. As a spy, Okamura Neiji, this is simply his shame.
The Super High School Section Chief immediately wanted to arrest all the staff at the BBQ restaurant and Ohashi Tsunei, but Okamura Neiji told him not to act rashly.
He wants to use Chang'an Bridge to fish.
"Your Excellency, General!"
Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe stood up, holding a document in his hand, and reported to Neji Okamura:
"The front army dispatched a total of more than 100 vehicles and more than 4,000 mule carts, transporting more than 13,000 tons of combat materials to Datong and Taiyuan within 0 days."
"The remaining 7,000 tons of combat materials are being transported or being prepared for transportation."
"Currently, some troops from each division have been stationed in Taiyuan and Datong."
"In addition, based on reconnaissance aircraft reconnaissance and the infiltration of the bandit areas in northwestern Shanxi by First Army intelligence personnel, the Eighth Route Army's airport in northwestern Shanxi has been discovered."
As soon as he finished speaking, Okamura Neji's unwavering eyes finally showed a hint of fluctuation;
"Did you discover the Eighth Route Army's airport in northwestern Shanxi?"
"Where?"
"Are there any planes at the airport?"
Okamura Neji blurted out a series of questions, indicating that his mood was not as calm as his expression and eyes.
The old Japanese had long expected that the reason why the Eighth Route Army could quietly obtain overseas aid was that it was most likely due to airdrops, or even because the Eighth Route Army had an airport.
"No plane found!"
Tanabe Shengwu quickly walked to the map and pointed to a location in northwest Shanxi on the map: "Here!"
Okamura Neiji and the Japanese officers looked at it carefully and memorized the location of the Eighth Route Airport on the map. Tanabe Moritake walked back to his seat but did not sit down.
Although the Eighth Route Army and the masses carried out counter-intelligence activities in northwestern Shanxi, and transport planes delivered goods at night.
However, it could not prevent the crazy infiltration of the Japanese and puppet army intelligence personnel. According to the roar of the plane, some Japanese intelligence personnel found the vicinity of the airport and reported the location of the airport to the First Army Headquarters.
Although the Japanese spies were quickly caught, the information had already been passed on.
The next day the Japanese reconnaissance plane conducted repeated reconnaissance over the Zhaojiayu Airport. They soon discovered something was wrong and determined that it was the Eighth Route Army Airport.
As expected, Neji Okamura looked at Teramoto Kumaichi, the commander of the 1st Pilot Division: "Yoshi, Teramoto-kun, after the meeting, immediately arrange for the aviation force to bomb the Eighth Route Airport."
Although the Eighth Route Army may also know that the airport has been exposed, the airport is not something else. It is there and cannot be run away.
A sneer appeared on the corner of the old Japanese man's mouth, waiting for the Imperial Army Air Force to blow up the airport, how will Li Yunlong get help?
Hearing this, Teramoto Kumaichi stood up and suddenly paused: "Hi!"
Okamura Neiji added: "In addition, Teramoto-kun, your 2nd Flying Division can bomb the ferries along the Yellow River as planned to prevent the Eighth Route Army and Chinese people from crossing the Yellow River and entering northern Shaanxi."
During this period, Japanese reconnaissance planes had clearly detected the large and small ferries along the Yellow River.
"Hi!" Teramoto Kumaichi paused again and was about to sit back on his chair.
Deputy Chief of Staff Yumo Seizo suddenly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, General, I suggest that the aviation force also bomb the villages near the Eighth Route Airport."
"Why?"
Youmo Seizan explained: "I suspect that Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters is in a village near the airport. If the aviation force can blow up Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters... As we all know, Li Yunlong is the soul of the new regiment. If Li Yunlong is killed
If they die, the new regiment will immediately fall into a situation of low morale and leaderlessness, and then the imperial army will be sure to win this battle."
"Yoshi!"
Okamura Neji looked at Arisu Seizo with a hint of appreciation on his expression.
Then, Okamura Neiji said to Teramoto Kumaichi: "Teramoto-kun, just make the bombing plan as Arisu-kun said."
"Hi!"
Teramoto Kumaichi glanced at Yusue Seizan expressionlessly, paused, and sat back in his chair.
Okamura Neiji said to Tanabe Moributsu: "Tanabe-kun, please continue."
Immediately afterwards, Tanabe Moritake continued to hold the battle plan and read out the orders one by one.
However, this is only a combat order in the initial preparation stage, before the battle begins.
Because Okamura Neiji suspected that spies had sneaked into the North China Front Army Headquarters.
Before the spies were discovered, they did not dare to let a few trusted staff officers know the specific contents of the battle plan at the beginning of the campaign.
However, regarding the location of the frontline headquarters for the Japanese army's raids on northwestern Shanxi, it was neither in Taiyuan nor in Datong.
It is located in Xinzhou.
Three days before the start of the battle, the Japanese army had not yet dispatched from Taiyuan and Datong. Chief of Staff Tanabe Moritake would lead his personnel from Taiyuan to build a frontline headquarters near Xinzhou.
And he only had one infantry regiment with him.
This is Okamura Neji’s fishing plan.
In his opinion, if Li Yunlong really knew the location of the Japanese frontline command post, and there was only one infantry regiment around him, he would definitely lead his troops to strike first and remove the Japanese command post.
No commander can refuse such a temptation, and Neji Okamura is no exception.
The old devil also wanted to test whether there was really a mole around him.
If Li Yunlong leads his troops to attack, it will prove that there is indeed a spy in the North China Front, and it must be Daqiao Changan.
After all, Daqiao Changan is now only under great suspicion, and there is no solid evidence.
And Okamura Neiji would quietly mobilize his troops and lay a heavy ambush around the frontline headquarters and in the Xinzhou Basin. Once the Eighth Route Army attacked, he would immediately be surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides.
】
If we can annihilate the main force of the new group in the Xinzhou Basin, we will be sure to win this battle.
It doesn't matter that Li Yunlong didn't lead his troops to behead the Japanese headquarters on the front line. The battle behind will be fought as it should be.
After the meeting, Teramoto Kumaichi drafted a bombing plan and handed it to Okamura Neji.
After reading the battle plan, Okamura Neji signed his name.
It didn't take long.
10 fighter jets escorted 0 bombers taking off from Beiping Airport and flying towards northwest Shanxi.
…
Northwest Shanxi.
Zhaojiayu.
"Neji Okamura is fishing for labor?"
After listening to the information given by Chen Feng, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The information given by Boss Chen not only told Okamura Neiji's plan, but also provided very clear information on the number of Japanese troops ambushing the surrounding areas to catch turtles:
A tank regiment, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, an infantry regiment, plus an infantry regiment operating with the fake command post.
and 80 aircraft for air support at any time.
The combat effectiveness of this configuration is enough to kill any second-line division instantly.
Calculating mentally but not intentionally.
If Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were fooled and actually led part of their troops to behead the Japanese frontline headquarters, they might suffer heavy losses.
Zhao Gang first looked thoughtful, then looked at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, this is our opportunity. The Xinzhou Basin is very suitable for tank groups and cavalry."
Although the new regiment already has tanks, there are still two tank battalions with 64 tanks.
However, the number of tanks was not large, and not all terrains were suitable for the use of tanks, so the cavalry battalion was still retained, and Cao Jiang, the former commander of the first company of the cavalry battalion, served as the commander of the cavalry battalion.
At this stage, in the northwestern Shanxi region, it is still necessary to have a highly mobile elite cavalry.
After a pause, Zhao Gang asked again: "Do you want to do it or not?"
Li Yunlong did not answer Zhao Gang, but looked at Chen Feng and asked: "Brother Chen, do you think I should fight this battle?"
Chen Feng smiled slightly: "I am just responsible for liaison and delivery. I will not be involved in your regiment's military aircraft operations. You can make your own decision on whether to do so or not."
Li Yunlong looked thoughtful.
The information given by Boss Chen must be accurate, and neither Li Yunlong nor Zhao Gang had the slightest doubt.
The enemy has an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment and a tank regiment.
And he has an artillery battalion, a heavy artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, a tank battalion, 4 main infantry battalions and seven divisional battalions, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people.
In addition, Li Yunlong still has an opportunity for air support, and he is estimated to be able to kill a Japanese regiment on plain terrain.
The tank battalion in Li Yunlong's hands is of course invincible in the Xinzhou Basin.
But the Japanese's more than 80 aircraft can pose a fatal threat to the tank battalion.
So far, Li Yunlong has not received any information about Japanese aircraft arriving in Taiyuan and Datong.
This means that the tunnels dug under Li Yunlong's order, as well as the mountain cannon and shells transported there, have become decorations.
But it's not a decoration at all. It will be useful in the future, but it won't be used in this battle.
"To do it or not to do it?" Li Yunlong said: "As I said before, we have to calculate the cost carefully. If it is cheap, we will do it. If it is not cheap, we will not do it at all costs."
