Hearing that Hata Shunroku was coming to Suzhou, Chen Mingxiang's first reaction was, what major military action is the Japanese army, is it possible that the Zhe-Jiang battle will be held ahead of schedule?

"That's it. Commander Shunroku Hata is here to inspect the work of Su Zhou Qingxiang. This is the first pilot. He will see how it works," Li Shiqun said.

The plan to clean up the township was originally based on the idea of ​​the Mei agency Ying Sazhenzhao, but among the high-level Japanese troops, there were also not a few people who opposed it. They believed that the effect of the cleanup was much better than the implementation of the township clearance.

Okamura Neji was very "excellent" in North China. As long as he wiped out those anti-Japanese armed forces, killed the Chinese people who opposed it, and took away food and property, the goal would have been achieved.

The key point is that the Qingxiang plan consumes too much manpower and material resources. It also constructs blockades and sets up barrier nets. It also digs trenches to build artillery towers. It also uses so many people for publicity and education, and forms so many Qingxiang security teams. There is already a serious shortage of war resources. Isn't this a waste?

But Ying Zuozhao is the highest military adviser appointed by the base camp of the Wang puppet government. He holds the actual power. Those who oppose it can't help it. The other party will not hear it. They can only stare.

As Kage Sao Akira is about to leave central China to take up a post in the eastern region, the wind is starting to blow again. For this reason, Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata will personally rush to Suzhou to see what Qingxiang has achieved. .

"Commander Okamura submitted to the dispatched army headquarters two days ago the May combat plan for a major sweep in North China. He 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 Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade, a plan to encircle the iron wall in the central Hebei region was implemented."

"In order to achieve the tactical effect of the surprise attack, Commander Okamura did not mobilize the imperial troops around the underground party base to avoid being detected by the enemy. He used long-range maneuvering methods to construct an encirclement. The characteristic of this battle is to seek stability rather than fast. ."

"I took a look at the plan. The offensive started on May 10th. I looked at the map. It was basically four adjacent counties north of Hengshui. The main battle sites were Shenxian, Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping. It is Shenwu Raoan, intending to destroy this underground party base in one fell swoop." Said Ogasawara Kiyoshi.

All the Japanese officers present here are related to the Qingxiang plan. After Kage Sazhenaki left, whether the Qingxiang plan will be implemented is also related to their future and interests. This is highly confidential, but since it is a one The grasshopper on the rope doesn't matter if you talk about it.

"The 110th Infantry Division belongs to the Ding Division and governs three infantry regiments with an organization of 11,000. The 41st Division belongs to the Division B with an organization of 13,000. It is independent and mixed. The brigade is composed of 6,000 people, and the imperial army has 36,000 troops. With the addition of the local security forces, the number and scale are enough. Let's see how the actual effect is!" said Shigeto.

Chen Mingxiang was very anxious when he heard the news. Although he is not an underground party, the army and base areas of the underground party are also very important anti-Japanese forces. The land north of the Yellow River, except for Shaan Province and remote areas, does not have the resistance of the mountain city government. , Relying entirely on the underground party to insist on fighting behind enemy lines.

The purpose of the Japanese army is to mobilize heavy troops to carry out a brutal sweep of the base areas and destroy the foundation of the resistance against Japan. If the news is not passed on to the underground party in time, it is not known how much damage it will cause.

The old man of the Shancheng government is always like a big enemy to the underground party. Boss Dai of the Military Command is also talking about the underground party. But Chen Mingxiang is not a politician or a strategist. He only knows that the anti-Japanese is the top priority now, and he joined the military system because Such ambitions.

But on such occasions, he must not show any emotions. He toasted frequently, eating and drinking until midnight.

The devil officer was very satisfied with the gifts and red envelopes from Chen Mingxiang. Although the red wine and cigars can only be seen tomorrow, the US dollars are already in his pockets. Two thousand dollars is not too small, and it is nearly 10,000 yuan in Japanese yen!

"You will drive back to the Shanghai stock market tomorrow morning, and go to the "News Daily" to find the editor-in-chief Zheng Tonghui. You said that I want to advertise my silk and tea. Take him to the office with a camera. Forget it. Ask the Qingxiang Committee for two!" Chen Mingxiang said to a bodyguard.

It has already reached 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 go on a dangerous move. He directly took Zheng Tonghui to the Shanghai stock market in the name of talking about advertisements, took a few photos, and published them in the newspaper. No one would doubt it, and Zheng Tonghui did not expose it anyway.

In the morning, Li Shiqun wanted to arrange the reception of Junroku Hata. Chen Mingxiang went to the Qingxiang Committee’s own office of the Material Management Office, drinking tea and reading the newspaper and waiting for a morning. At noon, Li Shiqun invited him to eat at home, also to facilitate conversation.

Li Shiqun’s provincial chairman’s residence is in the famous Tianxiang Xiaozhu. It was originally called Su Zhuang. It was the residence of a Lieutenant General of the Beiyang Government. It was built in 1920 and was funded by shipping and financial merchant Xi Shi One hundred thousand oceans were rebuilt into garden villas.

The whole garden is divided into two parts: a residence and a garden. On the west is the residence and the east is the garden. The residence has a combination of Chinese and Western styles as well as the style of northern architecture. There are three buildings, including a mandarin duck hall, a main building and two wing buildings. Formed the product font.

The garden is on the east side of the main building and has a horizontal rectangular shape. It not only has rockery and stone paths, but also has a hexagonal pavilion on the mountain. The greening is very good, which is quite characteristic of the Suzhou garden.

"Ming Xiang is here, please sit down, drink 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 Yuanyang Hall. Generally speaking, it is the place where the hostess meets the guests. It is a very private space, and Chen Mingxiang is really not regarded as an outsider.

"You called me to say you want to engage in Su Chengde, do you have any specific ideas? He is now working for the mansion faction, with Lin Baisheng behind his back, and he is the chief of the police, which is not so easy to deal with." Li Shiqun just sat down and said Before Chen Mingxiang had a sip of tea, he opened his mouth and asked.

It can also be seen from this that he hates Su Chengde, the so-called traitor, and his attitude is very clear. He agrees to join hands against Su Chengde.

But this thing is really not easy. Su Chengde himself is not afraid, but he is just a traitor to the Central Bureau of Statistics, but the forces behind it are too terrifying.

Li Shiqun was worried that if he cleaned up Su Chengde, Wang Jingwei would be disgusted. Since becoming the provincial chairman, he has been fascinated by the taste of power.

More importantly, Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao had already determined that he would leave Mei's mechanism. His biggest assassin was no longer useful, and he dared not run wild as before.
