Chapter 1403 A piece of information that is not valued
Every intelligence staff officer has full confidence in the intelligence he or she has collected and believes it to be true.
The second reporting intelligence staff officer was no exception.
Seeing that Colonel Binqi was talking to himself both inside and outside of his words, he immediately responded.
"Sir, I have a bold guess about this information."
"Those troops who crossed the blockade were probably transporting production materials to the garrison arsenal."
"After the failure of the last attack on their arsenal by the imperial army, in order to weaken the arsenal's production capacity and make it useless, the imperial army has begun to strengthen the blockade garrison, completely cutting off the connection between the garrison and the outside world, and preventing any production raw materials from flowing into the arsenal."
"With such a big movement, the garrison must have noticed it."
"If I were their commander, I would definitely seize the last opportunity and do everything possible to send more raw materials to the arsenal. There is no need to store them for the time being."
"That's why recently a large number of troops have crossed the blockade and entered and exited the garrison base area."
Colonel Binqi preconceived the idea that the garrison had no offensive capabilities and could not possibly cross the blockade and enter the Datong area.
When his subordinate explained it like this, he also believed that it was the same thing, and the whole explanation was reasonable.
Immediately give orders to the third intelligence staff officer just reported.
"That must be the case. You immediately forward the relevant information to the Datong garrison and ask them to continue to strengthen the strength of the blockade garrison and completely isolate the garrison. No more production raw materials can enter the garrison base."
In the army commander's office, Colonel Binqi walked in and reported happily.
"Sir, we have confirmed the results of the commando team at the garrison base."
"Although their entire army was destroyed, they still killed at least 5,000 main troops of the garrison."
"Our intelligence personnel lurking in the base area of the garrison reported: In the past ten days, the garrison recruited at least 6,000 new soldiers from all over the base area, and immediately added the main force and several independent battalions."
"An intelligence officer successfully infiltrated the main force of the garrison as a new recruit."
"According to his report, each company of the main force of the garrison has less than thirty veterans, and the rest are all new recruits."
"But because the commandos were wiped out by the garrison and lost a lot of equipment, they did not lack weapons. The new recruits were given weapons to replenish the troops. The equipment level is better than that of the imperial army to a certain extent."
"If it weren't for the fact that they are well-equipped and have sufficient ammunition, I would now like to suggest to the Army Commander that you send out heavy troops to attack them, and completely solve this serious problem before the new recruits can form combat effectiveness."
This good news has been expected by the military commander, but there is a lack of evidence to prove it.
Today I finally heard the affirmative answer from my subordinates, and the commander was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing the fleeting expression of disappointment on Colonel Binqi's face, he immediately comforted him.
"Do not worry!"
"The reason why we cannot attack the garrison a second time is that their well-equipped equipment is only one of the factors. There are two other important reasons!"
"One is that the garrison captured a large number of poison gas bombs from the commandos. They threatened the imperial army with poison gas bombs and could not use poison gas on them in the subsequent attack, otherwise they would retaliate and return those gas bombs to the imperial army.
"
"Another reason is that our recent losses have been too great and we cannot gather enough troops to attack them in a short period of time."
“But don’t be too disappointed.”
"The good news you brought today makes me more convinced that poison gas bombs are effective against the garrison."
"As long as we are fully prepared and use the same tactics to attack the defense group a second time, no, the second attack will also include aviation support, we will definitely be able to defeat the defense group in one battle."
"But before that, your intelligence department must find for me, then destroy the poison gas bombs used by the garrison and seize the commandos."
"In this way, we can safely and boldly use poison gas bombs to annihilate them in the second attack on the garrison to avoid future troubles."
This is the first time that a military commander has given himself such a serious order since he took office.
If it is successfully completed, the military commander will definitely be impressed by him, and his position as the head of the intelligence department will be secure.
If it is not completed, the area under the buttocks will probably change hands before it is warmed up, and then go back to Peking in disgrace.
Colonel Binqi immediately thought clearly about the huge impact this mission would have on his future.
Meeting the commander's gaze, he answered confidently: "Don't worry, Commander, I promise to complete the task within two months."
After saying that, he walked out of the office and hurried back to his office to study how to find a way to destroy those gas bombs.
As for the intelligence coming from the direction of Datong, because there were doubts about its authenticity and it had little to do with the garrison, it was cut off as soon as it reached him and there was no chance to report it to the army commander.
At the Hunyuan Independent Battalion Headquarters in Dongping Village, Li Hao walked in and looked at the staff officer on duty and asked: "Advisor Wang, how many troops entered Datong last night!"
The staff officer on duty reported while looking through the statistics he had compiled: "Half of the 1,200 reinforcements from the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment have come over."
"All eight hundred people sent by the deputy commander of Yi County crossed the blockade."
"Excluding the troops that crossed the blockade in the past few days, as well as the heavy artillery battalion and the third battalion, the remaining half of the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment has not come over."
Hong Linfeng suddenly said: "Commander, the other troops are easy to say. They will definitely be able to cross the blockade tonight by taking the transportation line. The most troublesome is the heavy artillery battalion, which must take the road to get here."
"I did some research and found that there are two gun towers and a medium-sized stronghold stuck along the way. The heavy artillery battalion must march under their noses. It is impossible to do it quietly."
Li Hao answered decisively: "There will definitely be many tough battles in the battle against Datong. With the heavy artillery battalion here we will have less trouble."
After staring at the map and thinking for a few seconds, he looked up and saw He Jun and began to give orders.
"Battalion Commander He, haven't you collected a lot of raw materials during this period and want to send them back to the base? We'll leave tonight. We'll load them all in big trucks and send them back by road."
After talking about He Jun, Li Hao turned his attention to Zhao Wen and continued to order.
"The Laiyuan Independent Battalion sent out five hundred men, armed with mortars and mountain artillery. They set off at dark and launched an attack on the Japanese strongholds along the highway at one o'clock in the morning."
"When attacking, grasp the rhythm carefully, so as to inflict pain on the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold, but not to defeat them immediately."
"I want them to see the Hunyuan Independent Battalion transport supplies and raw materials to the base area."
"As soon as the supplies are delivered, the troops will immediately conquer the stronghold, and then the heavy artillery battalion will quickly enter the Hunyuan Independent Battalion base area by road and lurk."
Seeing Zhao Wen nodding to express his understanding, Li Hao turned to look at Zhang Yun and continued the order.
"The Guangling Independent Battalion sent out two reinforced companies and took advantage of the darkness to reach near the two gun towers."
"The attack started as soon as the large trucks carrying supplies to the base area passed by."
"You don't need to control the pace, take down the turret in the shortest time."
Hong Linfeng understood it as soon as he heard it. He looked at Li Hao with admiration and said: "Conceal others by transporting raw materials, and then transfer the heavy artillery battalion to the battlefield. Commander, this method of yours will definitely be able to hide the little Japs in Datong City."
"You never would have thought that we were already inside his belly."
