The first thousand and forty-eight chapters of the inside story
After hearing these words, Chen Mingxiang knew that the dispatched troops were going to launch a large-scale battle against the mountain city government. That was the Battle of Wuling. Why did it have to be named in big letters?
The strength of the Eleventh Army alone was not enough, and a division from the Thirteenth Army was actually required to increase its strength. One can imagine how large the scale of the attack would be.
The reason for this is not difficult to guess. On the one hand, the Shancheng government deployed heavy troops near Wuling, almost all of which were regular direct troops of the Shancheng government. It was very difficult to achieve the goal.
On the other hand, the Japanese military dispatched a large number of troops from the dispatched force to support the South Pacific battlefield, and its own troops were stretched thin.
"Because of this incident, Chief of Staff Matsui Tataro personally came to the 13th Army Headquarters to explain that the 36th Division of the North China Front Army stationed in Changzhi would also be transferred to Southeast Asia, and the North China Front Army would also have to be transferred elsewhere.
The troops are needed to make up for this hole, and the dispatched army headquarters has no intention of favoring one over another."
"Because of the sentiments of Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada and the Thirteenth Army, Commander-in-Chief Hata Shunroku approached Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, hoping that he would give up his previous proposal, but he was flatly rejected, and was even called by Yokoyama Isamu to be hesitant.
Without the decisive courage of the commander-in-chief, General Hata Toshiroku was so angry that he yelled at the headquarters that this guy was a bastard."
"But the Eleventh Army is the main force of the attack. Since the Thirteenth Army cannot reach an agreement, there is no other way. General Hata Junroku directly issued an order, not only to mobilize the 116th Division, but also to mobilize the 65th Division from Pengcheng.
The regiment mobilized half of the brigade, that is, three infantry brigades, to join the command sequence of the Eleventh Army."
"After receiving this order, Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada was very angry at the result. He slapped the table at the headquarters and cursed. This time, he not only called Isamu Yokoyama a bastard, but also the headquarters. He was not afraid of General Hata Shunroku at all.
Know."
"The relationship between the three parties is extremely tense now. Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Home Defense Force, His Highness Higashikaru Miyazaki, are classmates. It is not without support. They gave up the job in a hurry. The sixth general Hata Shun cannot take it.
How is he?" Kawamoto Youtaro said.
King Higashinomu Nosuhiko is the uncle of Emperor Showa, and Emperor Showa's empress Kojun, Empress Kumiya Ryoko, is his niece. His son, Prince Morihou, is married to Emperor Showa's eldest daughter, Prince Terumiya Narikouchi.
In this way, he became in-laws with Showa. The Japanese royal family maintained the tradition of marrying close relatives. This habit did not change until after the defeat.
This means that Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada also has the support of his fellow students from the royal family, which is almost the greatest guarantee in Japan.
"According to this statement, the dispatched army headquarters is a little unfair to our Thirteenth Army. It is almost the end of the month. The 116th Division has already moved to the designated position, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
The headquarters of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai is under the headquarters of the Thirteenth Army. As a popular figure in the gendarmerie system, he naturally wants to focus on the thirteenth army. The two words "we" are used very cleverly and easily.
Close the distance between each other and win the favor of those present.
"My intelligence department has an intelligence team and a liaison team in the 116th Division. The 68th Division has arrived in the Nanxian area. They will cross Dongting Lake to the southeast of Wuling to prevent reinforcements from the south. The first one
The Sixth Division arrived in the Jin City area in the east of Li County and rushed directly to Wuling."
"The 3rd Division went to Taoyuan in the southwest of Wuling, the 13th Division went to Huangshi in the northwest of Wuling to stop the mountain city government's heavily armed group in the west, and the 39th Division deployed from Yidu to Wufeng to ensure the security of the rear
.”
"I have to say that although Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu is arrogant and arrogant, his plan was flawless. Although the Yamashiro government troops knew about the mobilization, they could not come up with any good ideas." Kawamoto Yoshitaro said.
Most of these are things that have already happened. The intelligence agency of the 6th War Zone of the Yamacheng government army must know about it, but the specific combat direction is a strict military secret.
But when it came to the grievances between the commander of the Thirteenth Army and the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces, as well as the commander of the Eleventh Army, Yoshitaro Kawamoto was a little too excited. He did not control his mouth and directly leaked the secret.
"You are really awesome. Such a detailed combat plan is a highly confidential military secret of the Japanese army. Normally, only the dispatched army headquarters, the eleventh army headquarters and the subordinate division commanders participating in the war know that they have mastered the enemy.
The trends should be of great help to our Shancheng Government's Sixth Theater Command, right?" Wang Zhen said while looking at the message to be sent.
"It can play some role, but not as big as you think. The Sixth Theater Intelligence Agency must be closely monitoring the movements of the Eleventh Army. With the military literacy of those generals, it is not difficult to judge the intentions of the Japanese army. A division
There are more than 20,000 people in the regiment. Such large-scale mobilization cannot be hidden from the eyes of intelligence personnel."
"But they don't know the missions and purposes of the Japanese divisions. With the information I provide, they can be targeted and deploy superior forces to intercept the Japanese divisions. They will not be too passive, but they want to create a beautiful blockade.
Fighting, that’s not necessarily the case.”
"The mountain city government's military command organization often misjudges the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. It misses fighter planes not once or twice. It can make people eat up a main division with intelligence. I don't have much confidence in them." Chen Mingxiang.
Said with a sneer.
He has always been brooding over the annihilation of the 128th Division and the capture of the division commander. This was because he had given information in advance, and those bastards who were eating people's food and not doing anything for others still caused such problems.
The majestic main division and the surrendered troops were reorganized by Wang's puppet government into the 43rd Division of the puppet army. Thinking of this, he began to get angry.
"You said that the Japanese army transported 20 tons of gold from China to purchase cotton yarn and cotton cloth from the Shanghai market, and also adopted the government's compulsory purchase method. This is to plunder all the cotton yarn and cotton yarn from the Shanghai market and prevent it from being sold to the Shanghai market.
Do the people wear clothes?" Wang Zhen asked.
"That's not true. Doing so will arouse public outrage and affect the stability of the Shanghai market. This large-scale acquisition plan led by the Consulate General in Shanghai is aimed at cotton merchants. Its purpose is to control the distribution rights of cotton cloth and yarn resources.
.”
"About half of the cotton yarn will be used directly by the Japanese army to produce military supplies. The remaining 15% will be used by the Shanghai market and handed over to designated factories to produce cotton cloth. The other 35% of the cotton yarn will be used by the Japanese army to produce military supplies.
Used to exchange supplies with other regions."
"The food shortage problem in Shanghai has reached a point where it must be solved because of the grain smuggling incident in Jiangsu Province some time ago, which caused the price of rice to skyrocket and the amount of registered rice to be continuously reduced."
"But now there is no source of rice, and the Japanese army has its own supply problems. Therefore, the Executive Yuan of the Wang Puppet Government decided to exchange cotton cloth from the Shanghai market for beans and coarse grains from outside the customs." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
