Chapter 527: Exposure of strategic intentions

"Nishimura-kun, after reading this information that was intercepted by the Special Intelligence Department through the radio, do you have anything to say to me or to everyone? A full two months have passed. The army you lead has

Didn't the intelligence department receive any news? I don't believe that the Soviet Union assisted the CCP with so many heavy weapons, nearly a hundred combat aircraft, and more than a hundred combat tanks, entering the North China area controlled by the Eighth Route Army.

There may not be any movement... What on earth does your intelligence department do..." Seeing the uncertain face of Major General Nishimura, the head of the intelligence section in front of him, the commander, General Yoshijiro Umezu, looked forward to a pair of eyes that could almost kill people.

Asked loudly.

"Hi, Commander, in the past two months, the Army Intelligence Department has indeed received some information about the large-scale mobilization of the Eighth Route Army in North China. However, since I did not get the specific reasons for the mobilization of the Eighth Route Army, I will

I made the decision without permission and did not make a report. Please forgive me, Commander..." Facing the commander's stern question, Major General Nishimura wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied in a low voice, almost like a mosquito.

"Baga, you are so stupid. Just because of your mistake, the Imperial Japanese Army lost such a good fighter plane. Baga Road, you have to be responsible for your own stupidity. You will die, you will die..."

"Hearing Major General Nishimura's answer, the commander, General Yoshijiro Umezu, cursed loudly.

"Nishimura-kun, please immediately report all the information you know about the Eighth Route Army in North China." Faced with several silent subordinates, the commander, General Umezu Mijiro, quickly regained his senses.

A pair of sharp eyes once again stared at Major General Nishimura, who was already frightened to the point of collapse due to his words just now, and continued to ask...

"Hi, Commander, according to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army went through a large-scale military maneuver two months ago, targeting the Yan'an area bordering Mongolia. The total strength is about three main divisions. Half a month.

Later, following the three main divisions back to Taiyuan City, there were also a large number of heavy trucks and a large amount of military supplies. In addition, our intelligence personnel also discovered a large number of Soviets among the Eighth Route Army troops. Because the CCP originally

They are part of the Communist International of the Soviet Union. The presence of Soviets among their troops is not a big deal. Therefore, I made the decision without permission without paying attention to and reporting on my humble position. Please forgive me, Commander..." Major General Nishimura hurriedly

replied….

"Baga, your great stupidity, because of your wrong judgment, caused the Japanese Empire to lose the best opportunity to fight, Baga Ya Road. Are there any other situations? I hope you can seize this opportunity and make meritorious service.

…” The commander, General Yoshijiro Umezu, slammed his clenched fist on the table in front of him and continued to ask…

"Hi, according to the news sent by our intelligence personnel, as the Eighth Route Army troops returned to Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army's military camp outside Taiyuan City was immediately expanded several times, and large-scale martial law was implemented. At the same time, around Taiyuan Airport, there were

A large area of ​​dozens of kilometers is also under martial law and no one is allowed to enter... However, according to various investigations by our intelligence personnel, huge roars of aircraft can often be heard around the airport. This is because the Eighth Route Army is holding a military parade in Taiyuan.

At that time, we once demonstrated our air force, and our intelligence personnel believed that the aircraft at the airport were the combat aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Army captured by the Eighth Route Army..." Major General Nishimura replied in a low voice. -...

"Baga, those trucks and combat aircraft must be a large amount of strategic materials from the Soviet Union to assist the CCP. They must be. Those training grounds under martial law must be the Eighth Route Army training its own tank troops... As for the direction of the airport, the Eighth Route Army must be using it

Aircraft assisted by the Soviet Union, to form its own air force... Baghya Road... I believe that in the near future, the Tubal Road we face will become a real force with the assistance of a large amount of military supplies from the Soviet Union.

Elite troops..." The commander clenched his fists and said fiercely...

"Your Excellency, Commander, judging from the information from the Army Intelligence Section, the Soviet Red Army has completed the transaction with the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China in North China. If nothing else happens, the Eighth Route Army at this moment must be deploying troops and preparing to find the right generals.

Opportunity to march into our Manchuria region... Therefore, please Commander, please make a decision immediately... Our Empire of Japan's Kwantung Army troops, the specific tactics for this conspiracy..." In the entire office, because of the commander's rage, everything changed.

When there was silence, the head of the Special Intelligence Department, Colonel Tabojiro, stood up and reminded in a low voice.

"Yo Xi, your reminder is very timely. Tao Taojun, this time, without the efforts of your Special Intelligence Department, our Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army would still be in the dark until now. I don't know, right now

Under our feet, there is a million-strong army, staring at us eagerly, ready to pounce at any time, bite us hard, and give the Kwantung Army a fatal blow... Here, I represent the entire Kwantung Army of nearly one million people.

Officers and soldiers, thank you, thank you for saving the entire Kwantung Army..." Unexpectedly, the commander, who was still angry just now and might kill someone at any time, immediately became friendly and even bowed deeply to the subordinates in front of him.

A bow. You know, such a scene is almost impossible to happen in the hierarchical Japanese army, but today, it appeared in the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army... It appeared in the current commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

On the body of General Umezu Mijiro.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, these are the responsibilities of a humble position... Commander, please don't be polite..." Seeing the expression of the Commander in front of him, Colonel Tao Zuo quickly bent down and lowered his head and said...

"Yo Xi, Chief of Staff, what do you think our Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army should do and what specific deployments it should make in the face of the two-sided attack from the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China and the Soviet Far East Red Army?"

The commander nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned his gaze to the Chief of Staff of the Kwantung Army...

"Commander, judging from the current situation we have, the Eighth Route Army in North China and the Soviet Red Army in the Far East have become a cornered force and surrounded me. Therefore, in order to avoid the Kwantung Army causing huge losses, we can only

To delay the westward advance of the Kwantung Army, we must first deal with the Eighth Route Army around us... Therefore, I believe that first of all: we should strengthen the intelligence reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army in North China, and we must find out the details of the Eighth Route Army's dispatch of troops in the shortest possible time.

The size, the commander’s personnel and the best time to send troops,” the chief of staff replied…

"Yoshi, very good, Chief of Staff, what should our Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army do next?" Commander General Umezu Yoshijiro nodded and continued to ask...

"Then, we should unite with the North China Front Army to strengthen the attack on the Eighth Route Army in North China, block all the possible roads for the Eighth Route Army to leave the border, and deploy heavy troops. When the Eighth Route Army sends troops, we should severely attack the Eighth Route Army's arrogance and give them a

They gave them a wake-up call to lower their morale. At the same time, through the specific location of this operation, they can understand the direction of the Eighth Route Army's dispatch of troops and the specific route of the Eighth Route Army's dispatch of troops..." Seeing the commander in front of him slowly sinking into thought, the Chief of Staff said

continued…

"Next, it will be my Kwantung Army's turn to attack and give the Eighth Route Army's troops a hard time. My suggestion is to mobilize at least one Kwantung Army unit from the front line, and with the cooperation of the local Manchurian Army,

We will set up a huge ambush circle for the Eighth Route Army on the only road they must pass, and then annihilate them all in Manchuria... This time, we will use the guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare that the Eighth Route Army is best at to deal with them..."

"Yo Xi, it's very good. The entire combat plan, link by link, first weakens the period when they send troops, and then concentrates the troops to eliminate them. It is so perfect... Do you have any other ideas..." Regarding the staff,

Commander General Umezu Mijiro nodded with satisfaction and asked several other people...

"Your Excellency, Commander, I have something to say from my humble position..." Unexpectedly, Major General Nishimura, the head of the Intelligence Section who had just been criticized by the commander and was likely to be sent to a military court, said...

"Nishimura-kun, what are your suggestions? I hope your suggestions will be effective, otherwise, don't say anything..." After hearing Major General Nishimura's words, the commander, General Umezu Mijiro, whose expression had just returned to normal, became gloomy again.

He got up, lowered his voice, and said with an unhappy look on his face...

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. I was under the impression that the Eighth Route Army troops in North China were marching into our Manchuria. The Anti-Union armed forces who were compressed into the Changbai Mountain area by the Kwantung Army troops of the Empire of Japan must have received the news. And this

The Anti-Resistance Alliance is also a force led by the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, I think that when we arrange the combat plan against the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party of China, we must not forget that at this moment, there are more than 10,000 anti-Alliance armed forces... to prevent them

Conducting internal and external pincer attacks, the two forces cooperated with each other to break through the pocket formation carefully prepared by our imperial army..." Major General Nishimura did not take it to heart about the commander's face, and reminded him in a low voice...

"Yo Xi, Your Excellency Commander, I think Nishimura-kun's reminder is very timely. If the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Eighth Route Army are allowed to join forces, then, under the leadership of the Anti-Japanese Alliance who are familiar with the terrain, the Eighth Route Army will definitely be at home in Manchuria... and I am big

The pocket formations prepared by the Japanese Imperial Army for them were ineffective. Therefore, I believed that while our army was arranging an ambush against the Eighth Route Army, we must strengthen our troops and increase the intensity of the encirclement and suppression operations against the anti-alliance armed forces in the Changbai Mountain area...

Strive to eliminate all hostile armed forces in Manchuria once and for all..." The chief of staff's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.

"Chief of Staff, I will leave it to you to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces, mobilize troops from the front line, and encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army. I hope that you and the Kwantung Army Staff Department can come up with a plan for me in the shortest possible time.

Come with the specific combat plan." The commander glanced at Major General Nishimura with admiration. Then, facing the chief of staff in front of him, he ordered with a serious face...

"Hi, the staff promised to come up with a most detailed combat plan within a week. Commander, please rest assured..." The chief of staff did not hesitate and accepted the task with confidence...

"Very good, Nishimura-kun. It can be said that because of your misjudgment in the petition, our Imperial Japanese Kwantung Army lost a lot of fighter planes. Originally, just because of these misjudgments, I had enough

For this reason, I will send you to a military court. However, considering your past merits, I don’t want to do this. Now, I will give you an opportunity to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. I hope you can seize it and avenge your shame..." Get Staff

After answering in the affirmative, the commander turned his eyes to Major General Nishimura in front of him again and said...

"Thank you, Commander, for your trust. I promise that the mistake you just made will never happen again. I promise to complete the tasks assigned by Commander. Please rest assured, Commander..." Seeing the commander in front of him, he slowly looked at himself.

From being severe to relaxing, Major General Nishimura's nervous heart slowly relaxed, and then he quickly assured.

"Yoshi, I am still very confident in your ability... Nishimura-kun, now I order your intelligence department to investigate the specific strength of the Eighth Route Army's troops sent to Manchuria in the shortest time and at any cost, and to carry heavy equipment.

The number of troops, the candidate for the commander, and the specific time for dispatching troops. I hope you will not disappoint me or the Empire of Japan this time..." the commander nodded.

"Hi, I promise to complete the mission and will definitely live up to your commander's trust in me. Commander, please rest assured..." After regaining the commander's trust, Major General Nishimura immediately regained his confidence on his face and shouted loudly.

replied.

"Mr. Tao Tao, what's left is your Special Intelligence Department... From now on, you have to focus on listening for signals and communications between the Eighth Route Army troops in North China and the Soviet Red Army in the Far East. If there is any

Report the situation immediately. Remember, you must not let go of even the slightest radio signal..." the commander continued to order...

"Commander, emergency situation. A piece of information forwarded by the Military Commission. The Kwantung Army in the three eastern provinces is undergoing large-scale mobilization..." In the presence of a large number of Japanese Kwantung Army, under the command of Commander General Umezu Yoshijiro

, began to mobilize and deploy defenses on the front line from Peking to Shanhaiguan. The underground party intelligence personnel lurking in Manchuria immediately sent this information to the intelligence department of the Communist Party of China through the radio...

"It seems that the little devil has discovered something. Otherwise, he would not have suddenly dispatched so many troops to go south and stand in front of us... Chief of Staff, immediately send a telegram to Marshal Zhukov in the Far East to inquire about the confrontation with them.

Are there any changes in the Japanese Kwantung Army troops, especially the troop mobilization..." After reading the telegram in his hand, Liu Hua frowned immediately. Then, he ordered to the chief of staff in front of him.

In less than half an hour, while Liu Hua and Luo Ronghuan were waiting anxiously, Chief of Staff Li Qing once again rushed into the temporary field army headquarters with a telegram...

"Chief of Staff, what did Marshal Zhukov say? Is there anything unusual about the kid who was confronting the Soviet army..." Before the Chief of Staff could calm down and speak, political commissar Luo Ronghuan, who was standing next to Liu Hua, started to panic.

I asked impatiently….

"Commander, political commissar. Just as you expected, the Japs really moved. According to Marshal Zhukov, the Kwantung Army, which was confronting them two days ago, began a large-scale defense change. Although it was small

The Japs did this very covertly and mobilized troops in the name of defense change. However, the intelligence personnel of the Soviet Red Army still clearly detected that the Japs from about three main divisions of an army began to move southward, aiming directly at the Shanhaiguan area.

..." the chief of staff replied quickly.

"The little devil's nose is really good. In less than a few months, they have discovered our strategic intention..." Liu Hua slammed his clenched fists on the table in front of him,

He said with an unhappy look….

"Commander, it is only a matter of time before you are discovered by the Japs. After all, the Japs' intelligence personnel are all-pervasive. What's more important is that we are trading with the Soviet Union, so many heavy weapons have entered the base area, and there are so many Soviets.

Suddenly appeared in Taiyuan City. Such a big movement, even I smelled something unusual from it. Therefore, it is expected that their intelligence personnel know something..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan comforted

….

"Political Commissar, I know this situation, and I'm just saying it. However, now that our strategic intentions have been exposed, the little devil intelligence personnel will definitely work hard to know the specific plan of our entire combat plan to send troops to the three eastern provinces...

And at that time, we were operating under the surveillance of the intelligence officers of the little devils... At that time, the little devils would know every step of our actions...

"Yes, at that time, in the face of the heavy encirclement and suppression by the Japs, our army of 100,000 people will really struggle... No, Commander, for the sake of our 100,000 field army commanders and fighters, we can smoothly advance into the three eastern provinces and fight against the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

Let’s get together and fight the Japs together. We must come up with a way... We must not let the Japs take advantage of everything..." Political Commissar Luo Ronghuan nodded. Then, he changed the subject and said firmly.
