Chapter five hundred and seventy-ninth, both food and life

When he heard that Shunroku Hata was coming to Suzhou, Chen Mingxiang's first reaction was that the Japanese army was going to carry out any major military operations. Could it be that the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Campaign would be held in advance?
"That's what happened. Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata came to inspect Suzhou Qingxiang's work. This is the first pilot. He came to see what the effect is." Li Shiqun said.
The Qingxiang plan was originally conceived by Umei Agency Shadow Sasakiaki, but there were also many opponents among the top Japanese military officials. They believed that the effect of a large-scale sweep was much better than the implementation of the Qingxiang plan.
Okamura Neiji did an "excellent" job in North China. As long as he eliminated the anti-Japanese armed forces, killed the opposing Chinese people, and stole food and property, he would have achieved his goal.
The key is that the Qingxiang plan consumes too much manpower and material resources. It builds blockades and set up obstacle nets, digs trenches and builds gun towers, uses so many people to carry out propaganda and education, and organizes so many Qingxiang security teams. The Imperial Army’s
There is already a serious shortage of war resources. Isn't this a waste?
But Yingzuo Zhenzhao was the top military adviser to the Wang puppet government appointed by the base camp and held actual power. Those who objected had no choice but to act as if they didn't hear. They could only stare.
As Kage Sasaki is about to leave central China and take up a post in the eastern region, this trend begins to blow again. For this reason, Commander-in-Chief Hata Shunroku will rush to Suzhou in person to see what the results of Qingxiang's work are.
.
"Two days ago, Commander Okamura submitted the May operational plan for a large-scale sweep in North China to the dispatched army headquarters, and decided to mobilize the 110th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade directly under the First Army.
With the cooperation of the 41st Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, the iron wall encirclement plan was implemented in the central Hebei area."
"In order to achieve the tactical effect of a surprise attack, Commander Okamura did not mobilize the imperial troops around the underground party base area to avoid being detected by the enemy. Instead, he used long-distance maneuvers to build an encirclement. The characteristic of this battle was to pursue stability rather than speed.
.”
"I took a look at the plan. The attack is to be launched on May 10th. Looking at the map, it basically covers the four adjacent counties north of Hengshui. The main combat areas are Shenxian, Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping, which are called
It's Fukamu Raoan who plans to destroy this underground party's base in one fell swoop." Kiyoshi Ogasawara said.
Everyone here is a Japanese officer who is related to the Qingxiang Plan. Whether the Qingxiang Plan will be implemented after Ying Zuozhenzhao leaves is also related to their future and interests. This is highly confidential, but since it is a
A grasshopper on a rope, it doesn't matter what you say.
"The 110th Division belongs to the D Division and has three infantry regiments with a strength of 11,000 men. The 41st Division belongs to the B Division with a strength of 13,000 men and is an independent mixed force.
The brigade is composed of 6,000 people, and the imperial army dispatched 36,000 troops. Together with the local security forces, the number and scale are sufficient. Let's see what the actual effect is!" Shigeto Nobumi said.
Chen Mingxiang was extremely anxious when he heard the news. Although he was not an underground party, the underground party's army and base areas were also very important anti-Japanese forces. In the land north of the Yellow River, except for Shaanxi Province and remote areas, there was no resistance from the mountain city government.
, all relying on the underground party to persist in fighting behind enemy lines.
The Japanese army wanted to mobilize heavy troops to carry out a brutal sweep of the base areas and destroy the foundation of resistance against Japan. If the news was not conveyed to the underground party in time, there was no telling how much damage would be caused.
The old man in the mountain city government always treats the underground party as a formidable enemy, and Boss Dai of the Military Unification Bureau also talks fiercely about the underground party. But Chen Mingxiang is neither a politician nor a strategist. He only knows that resisting Japan is the top priority now, and he joined the military unification because of this.
Such ambition.
But on such an occasion, one must not show any emotion. He frequently raised glasses and toasted, eating and drinking until midnight.
The Japanese officer was very satisfied with the gifts and red envelopes sent by Chen Mingxiang. Although the red wine and cigars would not be seen until tomorrow, the US dollars were already in his pockets. Two thousand US dollars was not too small, and it was nearly 10,000 yuan in Japanese yen!
"You drive back to Shanghai tomorrow morning, go to the "News Daily" office to find the editor-in-chief Zheng Tonghui, and tell him that I want to advertise my silk and tea. Take him to the office, bring a camera, forget it, I
Ask the Qingxiang Committee for two copies!" Chen Mingxiang said to a bodyguard.
It's already the end of May, and this information cannot be delayed. The base areas in central Hebei must be given time to evacuate, so the sooner the better.
Chen Mingxiang decided to take risks and directly dragged Zheng Tonghui to the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the name of discussing advertising, took a few photos, and published them in the newspaper. No one would suspect it, and Zheng Tonghui was not exposed anyway.
In the morning, Li Shiqun had to arrange matters for receiving Shunroku Hata, so Chen Mingxiang went to the Qingxiang Committee to seal off his own office in the Material Management Office, drank tea and read newspapers and waited all morning. At noon, Li Shiqun invited him to his home for dinner, also to facilitate the conversation.
Li Shiqun's provincial chairman's official residence is in the famous Tianxiang Xiaozhu. It was originally called Suzhuang. It was the residence of a lieutenant general in the Beiyang government. It was built in 1920 and was funded by the shipping and financial businessman Xi in 1933.
One hundred thousand oceans were rebuilt into a garden villa.
The whole garden is divided into two parts: residence and garden. The west is the residence and the east is the garden. The residence has a style of combining Chinese and Western styles, as well as northern architectural styles. It has a Yuanyang Hall, a main building, two east and west wing buildings, and three buildings.
It forms the character shape.
The garden is on the east side of the main building. It is horizontally rectangular in shape. It not only has a rockery stone path, but also a hexagonal pavilion on the mountain. The greening is very good and has the characteristics of Suzhou gardens.
"Mingxiang is here. Please take a seat. Let's have a cup of tea first and then go to the restaurant for dinner later." Ye Jiqing said with a smile.
This is in the south hall of the Yuanyang Hall. Generally speaking, it is the place where the hostess meets guests. It is a very private space. Chen Mingxiang really does not treat Chen Mingxiang as an outsider.
"You called me and said you wanted to mess with Su Chengde. Do you have any specific ideas? He has now joined the Gongguan faction, with Lin Baisheng backing him up. He is also the chief of police, so he is not that easy to deal with." Li Shiqun just sat down and said:
Before Chen Mingxiang could take a sip of tea, he opened his mouth and asked.
It can also be seen from this that he hated Su Chengde, the so-called traitor, to the core of his bones, and his attitude was very clear. He agreed to join forces to deal with Su Chengde.
But this matter is indeed difficult to handle. Su Chengde himself has nothing to fear. He is just a traitor to the Central Bureau of Unification, but the forces behind it are too terrifying.
Li Shiqun was worried that punishing Su Chengde would arouse Wang Jingwei's resentment. Since becoming provincial chairman, he has been fascinated by the taste of power.
More importantly, Yingzuo Zhenzhao has decided to leave the Mei Organization. The biggest trump card he relied on has lost its effect, and he dare not act as unscrupulously as before.ntent
