"No, think about it for yourself. Today is already the 15th. The assembly of various Japanese divisions is basically in place. Some intelligence officers in the front army headquarters may relax their confidentiality and vigilance and leak the general operations.
deploy."
"I also have evidence that the 71st Brigade of the 65th Division of the 13th Army and the 69th Brigade of the 64th Division of the 13th Army set out for Shouxian County in Anhui Province yesterday.
The request they gave me through Major General Yoshitaro Kawamoto was that the cigarettes must be delivered to Touhou County on the 25th."
"According to normal situation analysis, these two brigades of the Thirteenth Army are only responsible for containing the two armies of the mountain city government, and are not responsible for the main attack. If the enemy has not launched an attack on the 20th, these two brigades will inevitably
It is illogical to be surrounded by heavy troops."
"Just report it to the bureau headquarters. Kawashima Yoshiko has received my financial support in the past two years. She has restored her previous glory in Beijing and Tianjin. She has close relationships with many Japanese generals and is very good at doing intelligence.
You don’t even need to ask specifically, you can hear the discussion in private settings.”
"Without the financial resources I gave her, how could she enjoy life? Even her extravagant life also needs capital. Being able to send this information proves that she is unwilling to lose everything she has now. From the organization to the operations of the Twelfth Army, everything is completely in line with me.
The information obtained is consistent, which means the credibility of the intelligence is very high."
"Anyway, our direct-affiliated station is only responsible for reporting. Whether we believe it or not and whether we should deploy operations according to this information must be decided by the First Theater Command. I hope those senior generals will not waste their time. The Yamashiro Government
I am really worried about the combat effectiveness and always have a bad feeling." Chen Mingxiang said.
Things often work out well but not bad. Chen Mingxiang's worries really became a reality. His intelligence was sent to the bureau headquarters. Boss Dai did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it to the Mountain City Government Military Commission.
The Military Commission transferred Chen Mingxiang's intelligence to the First Theater Command and ordered the other party to make arrangements as soon as possible based on this intelligence to deal with the attack of the Twelfth Army of the North China Front.
Subsequently, a big dispute arose within the theater headquarters, between the theater headquarters and the Military Command Bureau. As for the organizational sequence and division assembly areas that agents of the Military Command Bureau had spied on, the First Theater Command believed
Yes, but there are different opinions on where the flash point is.
The division and brigade-level troops of the mountain city government have their own intelligence agencies. The most common one is the special agent company. When it comes to the group army, it is the serious military intelligence department. Intelligence has always been the magic weapon to defeat the enemy, and no one dares to neglect it.
In the First War Zone with 400,000 troops in Henan Province, there is a large military intelligence office, which has learned a lot about the movements of the Japanese army. However, the core intelligence of the military intelligence office is completely different from the intelligence sent by the Military Command Bureau.
Two results.
The commander-in-chief of the first theater naturally tends to trust his own military intelligence office, but Tang Enbo, the deputy commander of the theater and commander of the 31st Group Army, believes more in the intelligence given by the Military Command Bureau.
Starting from the 29th year of the Republic of China, Dai Li's intelligence work began to become accurate and efficient. Every time the Japanese army had important military operations, they were notified in time and received many awards from the Military Commission.
The headquarters of the Sixth Theater and the Ninth Theater have benefited a lot from this military intelligence, and their attitude towards the Military Command has also improved a lot.
"The First Theater Command sent electricity to the Military Commission and forwarded it to our Military Control Bureau. The Japanese 27th Division was deployed intensively on the north bank of the Yellow River, with the purpose of forcibly crossing Baihe, Mengjin and other places on the south bank of the Yellow River. The First Alliance in the Huaiqing area
One unit each of the regiment and the third regiment, as well as the attached engineers, are currently operating on the river bank."
"The Second Regiment also moved the iron-hulled boats across the river to the bank of the Yellow River south of the slope. Its commander, Colonel Matsui Shoji, led the troops to conduct terrain reconnaissance and prepare for the cross-river attack. A large amount of combat materials were accumulated on the river bank. From this, it can be judged
, the purpose of the Japanese army is to forcefully cross the Yellow River from Mengjin and directly launch an attack on Luoyang."
"The theater headquarters believes that the operational purpose of the Japanese Twelfth Army is to contain the troops in the first theater so that they cannot send reinforcements to Shangdu. The next step is to attack Shangdu with all their strength," Dai Li said.
After all, this was the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Office of the First Theater Command, and the old man couldn't make up his mind. Although he believed in Chunfeng's intelligence, some minor deviations were understandable.
Therefore, he asked the attendant's office to forward the message to the Military Command Bureau, asking Chunfeng and the subordinate stations to continue to keep an eye on the battlefield in Henan Province, find out the facts as soon as possible, and report to the Military Commission in a timely manner.
"Chunfeng's intelligence has never made mistakes. He is not absolutely sure and will not report it to the headquarters casually. Moreover, the intelligence channels he obtains are very high-level and belong to the military-level command structure of the Japanese army. If we put the first theater
The response told him that he didn’t trust his comrades too much,” Pan Qiwu said.
"The North China Front is pressing down heavily this time. There are four C divisions, half an armored division and three brigades. The scale is very astonishing. The main force is hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. The First Theater Command is also a little panicked about this.
They don’t know how to respond, and the Military Commission is putting a lot of pressure on them.”
"If the Pinghan-Hankou Railway is opened, it will mean that the railway transportation in the entire Jiangbei area will be strengthened by more than a little bit. The Japanese North China Front Army will be able to reinforce operations in Central China at any time, which will pose a great threat to the southwest." Mao Renfeng said.
.
Dai Li was also hesitating. He knew that his strategic agent Chunfeng was always trustworthy in the way he did things. Although he was young, he was very stable and experienced. But he had to carry out the old man's wishes. After all, this battle poses an unprecedented threat to the Kuomintang-controlled area. He must be cautious.
Some can understand it.
"In this case, it is better to send a telegram to Chunfeng immediately, telling him the concerns of the First Theater Command, and asking him to pay close attention and inquire carefully. It would be best if he can get the situation of the 27th Division, but don't be too reluctant.
, everything is based on your own safety.”
"Also, once the battlefield in Henan Province opens, the direct-affiliated station will activate the power of the two offices to implement 24-hour strict monitoring of the Japanese troops in central China, especially the troops under the 11th Army. Based on these situations
After considering it, the Military Commission believes that the Japanese army will launch an attack on Tanzhou in the next stage, and then directly attack Qian Province or Guizhou Province, so we must prepare in advance." Dai Li said.
It is unnecessary to consider the military intentions of the top brass of the Japanese dispatched troops and expect them to be investigated by the intelligence teams of the two offices. They have no ability to do so.
Boss Dai's real intention is to spy on the dispatched army's military intelligence. The Japanese base camp transferred the 27th Division from outside the customs to North China, and then placed it under the command of the 11th Army. This indicates that the next battle will not be too complicated.
