The last time the Yamashiro Government Air Force worked closely with the U.S. Air Force to bomb Japan's Yahata Steel Works, this incident seemed to have stimulated the Japanese military. The north-south transportation line was opened, and then the Yamashiro Government Airport began to be cleaned up.
.
"Since Chunfeng has given a clear combat goal, what is the deployment status of the Ninth War Zone's troops near Chenzhou?" Boss Dai asked.
"General Ou, the deputy commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army, is the commander-in-chief. There are the 99th Army and the temporary Second Army in the direction of Leiyang, and there are two divisions of the 37th Army near Xiaoxiang. Lanshan County and Yi
There are the 59th Division and the 102nd Division of the Fourth Army in Zhangxian area, as well as the 60th Division of the 37th Army. Suichuan has the 58th Army and the 44th Army, a total of six
The strength of the army." Mao Renfeng checked the information and said.
The Military Command Bureau is a military intelligence agency. It has the privilege to know the deployment of troops in various theaters. In addition to the extremely accurate information, it is highly valued by the headquarters of each theater. In addition, the Japanese intelligence agency may know more about it than the Military Command Bureau.
, and can even be accurate to the location of a battalion.
"Where is Shaozhou? This is the focus of the Japanese army's attack. Who is the defensive force in the seventh theater?" Boss Dai asked again.
"In the Yingde County area in the south of Shaozhou, the 154th Infantry Division of the 65th Army, the 187th Infantry Division of the 63rd Army's Independent Ninth Brigade guard Shaozhou," Mao Renfeng said.
.
"Just this small amount of troops? Okay, Shaozhou is such an important place. We only put one division of troops to defend it. It is clear that we do not want to fight a tough battle. Our Military Command Bureau is only responsible for providing intelligence, and we are not responsible for fighting.
After sorting out this information, I'm going to see the committee members. If we continue to retreat like this, the mountain city government will lose all face." Dai Li said with a frown.
From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Military Command's intelligence provided early warning. From the allocation of troops to the time of the attack, everything was extremely accurate, and the target was extremely clear. But what is the use of accurate intelligence? The defeats are still coming one after another.
Appear.
"After this battle, the Japanese army's front line has been stretched too long and they are no longer capable of launching an attack on the mountain city. Chunfeng's intelligence can also verify this. They are using small-scale operations to targetedly destroy our important military forces.
facility."
"According to the current deployment, the six armies are guarding the line from Chenzhou to Shaozhou. The local terrain is also relatively complex. It is very advantageous to fight a blocking war. The Japanese army will not take Shaozhou so easily." Pan Qiwu said.
"Let's not put money in our own faces. The U.S. government's attitude towards the Yamashiro government has now changed a lot. News from the Navy Department is that the U.S. government believes that our Yamashiro government forces cannot protect themselves and have not contained them.
The capabilities of the Japanese army.”
"The U.S. government recognizes the high efficiency and intelligence acquisition capabilities of our Military Command Bureau, but the main forces in each theater are far from satisfactory. Except for the Battle of Hengzhou, which was the biggest highlight, the rest collapsed at the first touch, giving the U.S. military
The impression was extremely bad.”
"This time, there are top-secret military movements of the Japanese army, and they are related to the safety of the air force base and the safety of the southern section of the Guangdong-Hankou Railway. I also hope that the 9th Theater District and the 7th Station District can work together to win a better battle. Unfortunately,
Ah, past experience tells me that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!" Dai Li said.
Chen Mingxiang quickly received the child's name, which was named Yue'an. For this reason, he sent him a special message explaining that the word "Yue" came from "Yueyang Tower" written by Fan Zhongyan, in which there are floating light leaping into gold and static shadow.
Shen Bi said this, so the word "Yue" has a sparkling artistic conception.
Leap is equal to active, which is a beautiful meaning for children to be smart, lively and cheerful. An comes from the idiom "live and work in peace and contentment", which is the wish for the child's future and the expectation for the child.
"Chen Yue'an, this is our son's name. Boss Dai really gave me face this time. I don't know which talented person I asked for advice, but I always feel that it doesn't match his style." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"Kinoshita Sakaeichi will fly back to Japan tomorrow, and the new commander Shigata Ryouji will also arrive at the same time. Do you want to prepare a gift for him?" Wang Zhen said.
"Gifts must be prepared. Kato Tomarijiro will also come to Shanghai tomorrow morning. With him as a matchmaker, we will soon become familiar with each other and it will not affect our work." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Kato Tomarijiro was really a favor to everyone. He actually came to Shanghai from Peiping. It seems that the two of them had the same problem. Tojo Hideki fell behind the scenes, and they became lonely ghosts without a backer." Wang
Zhen said with a smile.
"It's not as simple as you think. The purpose of Kato Tomarijiro's visit this time is not only to catch up with friends from all over the world, but more importantly, to continue our previous cooperative relations of interest with North China, especially coal and salt.
Buy and sell.”
"When Naosaburo Okabe was the commander of the North China Front, he issued an order to strictly prohibit the transfer of strategic materials from North China to central China, and to provide full support to the Japanese mainland. But now he has been transferred to the Sixth Front as commander. These orders of his
, naturally it doesn’t count.”
"It's interesting to say that the current commander of the North China Front, Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada, is already the commander of the Thirteenth Army. We still have some friendship. He presides over the affairs of North China, which actually gives me the opportunity to adapt.
"Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
When Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada left, he specially gave Cheng Yi 30,000 US dollars and five large yellow croakers as gifts. Shimomura Sada also said that he would definitely repay him if he had the opportunity. I really didn't expect that he would return to China in eight months.
, and Lieutenant General Yokoyama Isamu, who was punished by Okamura Neji, took over his position.
At noon on December 1st, Chen Mingxiang and Kinoshita Eichi arrived at the airport and received Lieutenant General Kato Torajiro, who flew in specially. The plane from Japan would need to arrive in Shanghai after two o'clock.
As for lunch, the three of them found a restaurant near the airport and simply dealt with it. The military police were on guard outside, which was actually the table of guests. This was also to avoid the hassle of going back and forth.
"Chen Jun, when you came here this time, you were also entrusted by Commander Shimomura. He invited you to come to Peking a year ago and prepared to entertain you well. I really didn't expect that the relationship between the Commander and you would be so good.
If you are familiar with it, things between you and Huatong Trading Company in North China will be much easier to handle in the future." Kato Tomarijiro said with a smile.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada would be transferred back to China one day. I was a little surprised when I heard the news from the dispatched army headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.
