Chapter 204 Intelligence Department

Meng Zhongheng held the telegrams he received in the past few days and looked at them one by one, analyzing the contents of the telegrams in his hands with the eyes of an old intelligence agent.

"On November 10th, the Japanese army transported a trainload of various ammunition supplies from Tianjin. They parked them in the Taiyuan material warehouse and sent heavy troops to protect them. They had no intention of transporting them away..."

"On November 14, the Japanese army dispatched a security force of more than 5,000 people from Peiping to station in Shijiazhuang, stating that it was to strengthen the defense force of the Shijiazhuang area..."

"On November 16, in the name of massing exercises, the Japanese army mobilized about three regiments of troops from various counties and concentrated them in the military camp in Taiyuan. However, so far, these nearly 10,000 troops have remained stationary and there has been no

movement.

"On the 19th, the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang received a large amount of supplies shipped from Tianjin. According to statistics within the bureau, this batch of supplies was enough to supply a Japanese division for a month..."

"On the 20th, the Taiyuan Japanese Army Headquarters once again mobilized two regiments of troops from surrounding county strongholds and concentrated them in the Taiyuan military camp. The specific reason is unknown..."

…

"What do the Japanese army want to do? To deploy troops and transport large quantities of supplies in such a covert manner is not like the Japanese army's long-standing style?" Meng Zhongheng said to his deputy.

"Judging from these letters of information, the Japanese army must be trying to hide some actions. As for why they spent so much effort to mobilize troops from various places and specially transported a large amount of supplies from Tianjin, I have no idea.

"It's very clear, it depends on the next move of the Japanese army." the deputy replied.

"Well, we can only take action now. We issue an order to intelligence personnel in various places, asking them to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army during this period, and require that every move of the Japanese army be sent to the headquarters," Meng Zhongheng said.

"I agree..." The deputy nodded to Meng Zhongheng.

In this way, another two days passed peacefully. On this day, November 23rd, Meng Zhongheng, director of the Intelligence Department, was still studying the intelligence sent from various places last night as usual to see if there was anything valuable.

At this moment, his partner, Deputy Director Wang, walked in hurriedly.

"You all go down first..." Seeing Meng Zhongheng sitting in the General Intelligence Office, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief and ordered several other people in the room to get out.

Meng Zhongheng raised his head and looked at his partner in confusion. After several people closed the door, Meng Zhongheng began to speak. "Old Wang, what happened? It's so mysterious..."

Deputy Director Wang did not speak, but walked to the table and handed Meng Zhongheng some telegrams. Meng Zhongheng took the telegram and read it carefully. Slowly, his brows began to frown.

"Is the situation true?" Meng Zhongheng asked with a frown.

Deputy Director Wang nodded.

"Old Wang, if the Japanese army is really transporting a large amount of supplies from Taiyuan to Jinzhong City as the intelligence personnel said, then its fox tail will be exposed. You know, Jinzhong City is the first place in our base area.

The edge city of the First Army Division has strong fortifications and is very suitable for being a material transfer station. "

"Well, I think so too. The Japanese army wants to store supplies in this fortress in Jinzhong City. The purpose must be to facilitate them to provide them to the front line at any time. But is this front line here with us..." Deputy Director Wang was confused.

He looked at Meng Zhongheng.

"I want to be close and tell the intelligence personnel to pay attention. The Taiyuan side has already moved, and the Shijiazhuang side is about to move. Also, a big battle is imminent. Food and grass go first, and the Japanese troops are about to move."

"Yes, I'll give the order right now..." After Deputy Director Wang finished speaking, he turned and left Meng Zhongheng's office.

However, less than an hour after Deputy Director Wang left, his door was pushed open again, and Lao Wang hurriedly walked in with a telegram.

"Is there a situation with the Japanese army...?" Meng Zhongheng raised his head and asked.

"Yes, look, they are Japanese from Shijiazhuang."

"So many Japanese went to a county to participate in offensive and defensive drills. Are they deceiving children? Is the information accurate?" After reading the telegram in his hand, Meng Zhongheng did not frown as he did just now, but said with a smile. Because he knew

After knowing the specific deployment of the Japanese army, the rest is left to the army.

"Very accurate. According to the investigation by intelligence personnel, the Japanese army and the security army have left Shijiazhuang, and the target is Jingxing County. The number of people is about two regiments of the Japanese army, and one division of the security army has 5,000 people. It is a security force that has just been transferred from Peking.

Military advisor." Lao Wang replied affirmatively.

"Okay, the fox's tail is finally exposed. I have been speculating for several days, and now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Lao Wang, let's go. Come with me to the headquarters and report this situation to the commander and political commissar." He said,

He took out some telegrams from the desk drawer and walked towards the office door, with Lao Wang following behind.

Since the Intelligence Department reports important situations to the headquarters at any time, the distance between the two departments is not very far. In less than five minutes, Meng Zhongheng and his partner arrived at the door of the headquarters. Staff Zhou who was on duty at the headquarters immediately saw it.

The one who arrived was the Director of the Intelligence Department, who greeted him warmly.

"Director Meng, are you in such a hurry? What's the matter?" Staff Officer Zhou saw Meng Zhongheng in a hurry and asked quickly, not knowing what big thing had happened.

"Well, is the commander here? I want to see him right now!" Meng Zhongheng nodded and asked.

"The commander and political commissar are here, I will take you there right now..." Seeing Meng Zhongheng nod heavily, Staff Officer Zhou also knew that something big must have happened, and immediately led the two of them to Liu Hua and the political commissar's office.

.

"Commander, political commissar, emergency situation..." When they arrived at Liu Hua's office, the door was open, and the political commissar was sitting in front of the commander, discussing something. Meng Zhongheng didn't care about understanding, and hurriedly took his partner away

Come in.

"Uh, it's Director Meng and Deputy Director Wang. What happened? They're so worried. Please tell me slowly..." Seeing Meng Zhongheng with a nervous face, Liu Hua and the political commissar immediately stopped and looked at the people standing in front of them.

of two people.

"The commander, political commissar, and Japanese are expected to have major operations in the past few days... and the target of the operation is likely to be the Jinyi base area we just established. According to the current intelligence, the Japanese army's ultimate target should be our place. That is

The headquarters of the base area is Zhangjiazhuang." Meng Zhongheng's bombshell shocked Liu Hua and the political commissar into speechlessness.

"Is the information accurate? Is there any basis for it?" Liu Hua reacted quickly and asked with a frown.

"Yes, this is all kinds of useful information that our intelligence department has collected in the past half month." As he said that, Meng Zhongheng handed over a pile of information. The two of them took it and looked at it carefully. Slowly, the two of them

The individual frowned, verifying the correctness of what Meng Zhongheng said.

"Director Meng, you are a veteran in intelligence. Tell us your analysis and let us listen." Liu Hua said.

"Yes, Commander. This is my analysis. Since the Japanese have deployed so tightly this time, it means that this raid by the Japanese will be different from previous raids. Therefore, our base area must be fully prepared.

I think this encirclement and suppression campaign by the Japanese must be unprecedented. Also, the Japanese chose the cold winter to carry out the raid, which also shows their determination this time." Meng Zhongheng paused and saw the commander and political commissar working seriously.

Listen to your own analysis.

"Um, why do you say that the Japanese raids this time will be unprecedented?" Liu Hua asked.

"Commander, no matter what, winter is the time when supplies are most scarce in our base area. I think the Japanese chose to attack in winter. On the one hand, they will use political means to cut off our access to the outside world and prevent us from getting enough supplies.

Supplies make the soldiers and the people in the base area lose confidence in us. On the other hand, through military struggle, annihilating our army without supplies in one fell swoop can be said to kill two birds with one stone..."

"Well, very good, the analysis is very thorough. You go down first and keep an eye on the Japanese troops in Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang. If there is any movement, report it to the headquarters immediately. Also, this matter must be kept secret. Before the battle begins, we are the only ones.

Several people know." Liu Hua nodded in praise.

"Yes, commander, political commissar, resolutely complete the task..." After hearing the commander's praise, Meng Zhongheng and Lao Wang replied excitedly.

"Commander, the Japs have finally taken action after holding back for so long. I don't know how many troops the Japs will dispatch this time! I'm really worried! The base area has just developed peacefully for less than two months, and it will be destroyed by war again.

It disrupts the pace of development. In the end, it is the villagers in the base area who suffer the most!" The political commissar sighed when he saw Meng Zhongheng leaving.

"Well, I'm also worried about the people in the base areas. Many of our local base area governments have been established less than two months ago. I don't know if the villagers can survive this raid. However, political commissar, our rapid response brigade has also been trained

It's been almost two months. We have enough ammunition and strong morale. It's time to go out and train our troops. This Japanese army's encirclement and suppression campaign just gives them a taste of the power of our quick reaction brigade." Liu Hua said with confidence.

"Well, Commander, I believe in you. You know, since I became your partner, you have never let me down. This time I also support you unconditionally. Commander, you can do whatever you want, you don't have to

With my consent." After listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar responded with excitement.

"Political Commissar, don't worry, I won't let you down. By the way, speaking of the rapid response brigade, we haven't seen those guys for a month. Let's go see their training tomorrow and check it out by the way.

Their recent training results. You must know that during this period of time, I had the soldiers of the special operations brigade squatting in three regiments for training." Liu Hua suggested.

"Okay, I agree. After all, we are also the brigade commander and political commissar of the rapid response brigade?" the political commissar said with a smile, unable to see the nervousness just now.
