But this idea was quickly expelled from the mind by Neiji Okamura.
Because the Sino-Japanese War has continued until now, and it has become a situation of endless death. If there is no winner, not only cannot give an explanation to the more than 100 million Japanese troops in the Chinese battlefield, but also cannot give an explanation to Japan, let alone the emperor. So this war can only and must continue.
Youmo Jingsan sighed and said, "It can't be blamed on the empire's misjudgment. Who would have thought that the army of the Dayin Empire would be so weak? There is also the beautiful army, which is just superficial and vulnerable."
"No." Neiji Okamura said, "The beautiful army is just inexperienced."
You Mo Jing said: "Anyway, the overall situation in Southeast Asia has been decided, and the imperial army has won a complete victory."
"That's true." Ningji Okamura said, "The Southern Army fought well in Southeast Asia. Now it's our North China Army's turn to perform. We can't lose too much to the Southern Army."
While speaking, a communications staff officer hurried in with a telegram.
After reading the telegram, Arimesei said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency, this is the telegram from the headquarters. Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has promised to provide the Chinese troops with combat supplies for the battle of ten divisions, totaling [-] tons!"
"Ten divisions will fight for combat supplies? That's great!" Neji Okamura was overjoyed upon hearing this.
This time the North China Front Army can finally do a big job.
……
In Taiyuan, the First Army Command.
"Your Excellency, Commander, have you heard?" Hua Guzheng asked.
"What did you hear?" asked Yoshio Iwamatsu, who was making tea.
Hua Guzheng whispered: "I have a classmate from Lu University who is at the Army Headquarters. He sent me a confidential message early this morning, revealing a piece of news to me."
"News?" Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "What news?"
Hua Guzheng whispered: "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, has promised to provide the Chinese dispatched troops with combat supplies for ten divisions. It is said that he will also seek His Excellency Okamura's opinion on the distribution plan."
"There's such a thing?" Yoshio Yanmatsu paused suddenly.
Hua Guzheng said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, the battle supplies for ten divisions should be distributed to our first army for two divisions, right? In any case, we are the first army!"
Immediately, Yoshio Iwamatsu put the teapot away and hurried to the desk.
He grabbed the phone from the desk and said in a deep voice, "Maxi Maxi, connect me to Beiping Iron Lion Alley No. 11."
After a short while the phone was connected, Yoshio Iwamatsu went on to say: "I am Yoshio Iwamatsu, the commander of the First Army stationed in Shanxi. I want to talk to His Excellency Okamura immediately."
……
Beiping, Iron Lion Alley NO.11.
Okamura Ningji hung up the phone, frowned and said nothing.
Moritake Tanabe, who had just arrived, asked, "Your Excellency, what did Iwamatsu-kun say?"
"He wants combat supplies for the battle of the three divisions." Neiji Okamura said in a deep voice.
"What? Combat supplies for the battle of the three divisions? It's really a lion's mouth."
"Last year's No. D battle plan was labeled as such a bird, but he still has the face to say that."
Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo were furious when they heard the words, and they both felt that Yoshio Iwamatsu was a little too much. There are only ten divisions in total for battle supplies, and you need 30.00% for one army?
How should the combat supplies for the remaining seven divisions be distributed?
When Arisue Seizo mentioned the No. D battle plan, Neiji Okamura's expression froze slightly.
Because just now, Yoshio Iwamatsu also mentioned the No. D battle plan on the phone, and he clearly told Neiji Okamura that the failure of the No. D battle plan should not be counted on the head of the First Army. The North China Front Army Headquarters should also compensate the First Army for the battle supplies of a division battle.
Tanabe Shengwu said: "Your Excellency, you cannot agree to this guy."
Youmo Jingsan said: "Give him at most one division battle supplies."
Tanabe Moritake said: "It's too much supplies for a division battle."
"No." Neiji Okamura said, "Just give him the materials for the battle of the three divisions."
"Ah?" Tanabe Moritake and Yusue Seizo were stunned when they heard the words, did they really pay so much?
Okamura Ningji said: "I have calculated carefully, the three divisions of the First Army will fight, the No.12 Army stationed in Shandong will have two divisions, and the Mongolian Army will have one division. The battles of the divisions belong to the headquarters, which should be enough to launch several waves of devastating raids against the Eighth Route Army in the five provinces of North China."
"Ah?" Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Sei looked at each other and said.
"Your Excellency, what about No.11 Army, No.13 Army and No.20 Army?"
China sent troops not only to the North China Front Army, but also to the North China Front Army, the No.11 Army stationed in Wuhan, the No.13 Army stationed in Shanghai, and the No.20 Army stationed in Guangzhou.
The combat supplies of these ten divisions were sent to China to send troops.
It's not that they are only given to the North China Front Army, they can't take them all.
Neiji Okamura smiled and said: "The No.11 Army launched three consecutive Changsha battles, all of which ended in failure. There is no need to launch the fourth Changsha battle. As for the No.13 Army and No.20 Army, the defense area There is no resistance force worth mentioning at all, so it doesn't take much supplies at all."
"Eh?" Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo couldn't help but look at each other.
It seems that Your Excellency the General is right?It seems that this is the case.
"You don't even think about it." Okamura Ningji smiled and said, "If the base camp didn't intend to hand over all the combat supplies for the ten divisions to our North China Front Army, he wouldn't ask me about the distribution plan. , but directly asked His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief about the distribution plan, so why should I be polite?"
……
Two days later, Taiyuan.
Hanagu entered Yoshio Iwamatsu's office with a happy face.
"How is it?" Yoshio Iwamatsu immediately got up and asked.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the approval from the headquarters has come." Hua Guzheng said with joy, "All the combat materials for the battle of the ten divisions have been given to our North China Front Army."
"Really?" Yoshio Iwamatsu was overjoyed, "That's great."
Hua Guzheng said again: "Your Excellency, General, also fulfilled his promise, and allocated the combat materials for three of the divisions to our Shanxi First Army."
"Okay, great, this is really great!"
Yoshio Yanmatsu waved his fist vigorously, and said: "With the combat supplies for the battle of these three divisions, our First Army can do a big job."
Hua Guzheng said: "Your Excellency, you can consider launching a spring sweep."
"Must." Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "A spring sweep must be launched immediately!"
After a pause, he continued: "Immediately call all officers above the second lieutenant in the headquarters to hold a staff meeting to discuss the combat plan for this spring sweep."
"Hayi!" Hua Guzheng paused, turned around and rushed away.
The officers of the First Army Command were quickly summoned, and Takuya Mizuhara, the captain of the Taiyuan Gendarmerie and the section chief of the Special Higher Police Division stationed in Taiyuan, also came to participate.
After a while, the huge conference room was already full of people.
"Your Excellency, Commander, here!" With the shout of the guard, all the officers present stood up in unison.
"Everyone sit down, everyone sit down." Yoshio Iwamatsu came in from the door, raised his hand in return, and motioned for everyone to sit down, and the officers took their seats one after another.
Yoshio Yanmatsu asked Hanagu Masao again: "Hanagu-kun, is there anyone here?"
Hua Guzheng said: "Except for those who went out, the rest of the officers have arrived."
"Okay." Yoshio Iwamatsu said happily, "Then let's start. You can introduce the situation first."
"Hayi." Hua Guzheng paused, looked around the crowd and said, "Masters, first of all, I want to tell you some good news. Because the southern army won successive battles in the Southeast Asian battlefield and seized a large amount of spoils, the empire's finances have greatly improved. It’s getting better, so the base camp temporarily decided to allocate supplies for ten divisions to the Chinese dispatched troops.”
The officers attending the meeting were immediately refreshed. Ten divisions will fight for combat supplies?
After a pause, Huaguzheng continued: "After the struggle of Okamura Ningji Omura, the base camp has decided to allocate all the combat materials for the ten divisions to the North China Front Army, and three of the divisions will be assigned to the battle. The supplies will be assigned to our First Army! And the supplies for the battle of the three divisions will be available soon!"
"Onboard!" The officers present at the meeting immediately cheered, and they were all extremely excited.
Takuya Mizuhara, who was sitting in the crowd, had a flash in his eyes. The news was worth a lot of money.
Hua Guzheng said again: "With the combat materials for the battle of these three divisions, and the rectification of the divisions of the Imperial Association Army has also achieved phased results, our First Army is fully capable of launching once or even multiple battles in Shanxi. This offensive, Your Excellency Commander called everyone together this time, hoping that everyone can speak freely, offer suggestions, and discuss in detail the next combat plan. First of all, the first thing to determine is the attack target, which one to choose?"
"Of course it is the Eighth Route Army, and it must be the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi."
"I agree, there is a Chinese proverb, where you fall, you must get back up."
"I object. I always think that the correct order should be easy and then difficult. Therefore, we should prioritize the Jinsui Army, which is relatively easy to deal with, as the priority target. With the current weak combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army, as long as the imperial army is under pressure, there is a high probability Then the imperial army will be able to integrate the Jinsui Army into the battle sequence of the Imperial Association Army, and it will be able to concentrate all its forces on the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi. The Eighth Route Army is not too late, although the number of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is small, but its combat effectiveness is the strongest, it should be saved to the end!"
"I object, isn't the lesson of the Second Guards Division not profound enough?"
"The failure of the Second Guards Division was not because the fighting power was inferior to the Eighth Route Army, but because Miyano Michiichi, an idiot, adopted wrong tactics, so as long as there are no problems with the tactics, there is no problem."
It is an inevitable result to convene a large number of military officers to hold a staff meeting.
Because one hundred people have one hundred Hamlets, and no one has his own point of view. In the end, there can only be a quarrel, and no resolution can be reached at all.
But fortunately, Iwamatsu Yoshio and Hanaya Masa did not expect to reach a resolution at the staff meeting. Their purpose in holding this staff meeting was to listen to everyone's opinions as much as possible, so as to avoid the situation of closing their eyes and listening.
So the two didn't talk much, just quietly listening to the young officers arguing there.
Mizuhara Takuya didn't want to listen anymore, because these guys could quarrel all afternoon.
At that moment, Mizuhara Takuya got up and walked to Hanagu Masa, and whispered, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our gendarmerie has another important operation in the afternoon, and I have to go back to the gendarmerie immediately to keep an eye on it."
Hua Guzheng said: "Understood, you should go back quickly."
"Hai." Mizuhara Takuya paused slightly.
……
At the end of last year, Zhouji Photo Studio reopened.
Cao Mancang, who stayed in the Taihang base for a year, returned to Taiyuan.
To be honest, it is extremely dangerous to return to Taiyuan this time. Although the former captain of the Taiyuan Gendarmerie, Shimizu Ichiro, has been killed by Wang Ye, there is a high probability that Zhou Ji Photo Studio and his Cao Mancang have been exposed. With the sense of the Japanese military police, it is definitely possible. Follow the vines to find the photo studio, and then trace him to Cao Mancang.
So in a sense, returning to Taiyuan this time is a self-inflicted trap.
However, after repeated research in the organization, and after obtaining the consent of Cao Mancang himself, he was still sent back to Taiyuan, and Liu Ertang, the former captain of the operation, was also sent back to Taiyuan.
Because the organization has reached an amazing judgment through a large amount of information.
This judgment is that the person who has been secretly selling information to the Jinsui Army, Juntong, and their Eighth Route Army is probably Mizuhara Takuya, the captain of the Taiyuan Gendarmerie and the head of the special high school.
When Cao Mancang returned to Taiyuan this time, he shouldered the arduous task of connecting with Mizuhara Takuya.
If there is a chance to hook up with Suyuan Takuya and develop Suyuan Takuya into an intelligence officer of the Eighth Route Army, he will gain unimaginable benefits, so Cao Mancang is willing to take this risk.
So after returning to Taiyuan, Cao Mancang has been waiting, waiting for the devils to come to the door.
However, one winter passed, and the devil gendarmes remained silent, as if they hadn't tracked down Zhou Ji's photo studio at all, but Cao Mancang knew that this was impossible.
But Cao Mancang is also an old intelligence after all, so he is not in a hurry.
The days passed day by day in this dull atmosphere, and the business of the photo studio gradually improved. Just when Cao Mancang thought that such days would last forever, the calm was broken.
A team of military police suddenly came to the door and blocked the front and back doors of the photo studio.
"Routine inspection." The team leader who led the team said in strong Chinese, "Business certificates, everyone's certificates of good citizenship, take them all out, hurry up."
Chapter 430 Intelligence trafficker
Cao Mancang hurriedly took out the business certificate and the certificate of good citizenship.
The captain of the gendarmerie just glanced at it, and then said bluntly: "There is something wrong with the business certificate, yours will follow our gendarmerie."
After finishing speaking, he took Cao Mancang away.
In the gendarmerie, Cao Mancang met Mizuhara Takuya as he wished.
After sending everyone out of the office, Takuya Mizuhara said, "Cao Sang, I kept you waiting."
Cao Mancang said: "This must be Captain Suyuan of the Taiyuan Gendarmerie, but I really don't know what you're talking about."
"No, Cao Sang, you know what I'm talking about." Mizuhara Takuya smiled, "You have a famous saying in China that you don't tell lies in front of real people. The reason why you took such a big risk to return to Taiyuan is not because See me? Isn’t it just to instigate me and develop me into your intelligence agent?”
Cao Mancang felt a little overwhelmed, why didn't Mizuhara Takuya play his cards according to the routine?
As an agent of the hidden front, shouldn't Yun Zhewuzhuo test a few rounds first, confirm that both parties have intentions, and then start substantive contact or transactions. How can there be such a thing as "open and honest"?This is not the quality that an intelligence officer should have. Is Mizuhara Takuya really a member of the gendarmerie system?
In just one round, Cao Mancang was completely dumbfounded by Mizuhara Takuya.
Takuya Mizuhara smiled slightly, and said again: "However, I have to tell you with regret that it is impossible for me to betray Japan, and I will never betray Japan, just as you will never betray China."
Cao Mancang's heart sank when he heard the words, he could tell that Mizuhara Takuya was not lying.
Mizuhara Takuya's words were not fierce, nor did he swear, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, but Cao Mancang could hear the determination in it.
It seems that Staff Officer Wang's impression of the Osaka people also seems to be biased.
The people of Osaka do not seem to be a bunch of crooked businessmen looking for profit.
