"The information that Osa Ono revealed to you is the logistics transportation plan of the Eleventh Army. Whether his prediction of the battle is accurate or not will need to be verified by army intelligence."

"Compared with the ongoing battlefield in Henan Province, the upcoming battlefield in Central China is more critical. This is a battle that threatens the rear area. Boss Dai has already generated power twice in a row and requires you and the directly affiliated station to collect relevant intelligence."

"In view of the fact that the headquarters of the First Theater Command did not listen to the intelligence of the directly affiliated stations, which led to the fact that it became passive, Chief Xue of the ninth theater gave continuous power generation to the headquarters of the Bureau and asked the collected Japanese military trends. The Military Committee also asked Boss Dai to sort out every day. Information is specifically reported." Wang Zhen said.

Was the defeat in the first theater really caused by intelligence misjudgments?

Wrong, the answer is of course no. The key is that the theater command did not have the determination to fight the enemy to death. The large Japanese army squatted in front of the gate of Shangdu, with a division and a brigade on the side. Why Meng Jin is in a hurry, isn't this nonsense?

However, the accuracy of the intelligence of the Military Command Bureau is therefore valued by the commanders of the war zones. The poor performance of the Military Intelligence Department under the Command of the First Theater Command makes these war zone bosses no longer dare to believe that their intelligence personnel are still those of the Military Command Bureau. The agents are more professional, and they are now cooperating with the U.S. Navy!

What Boss Dai likes to see most is that the Military Control Bureau is valued by the military. This makes it much easier for the Military Control Bureau to insert its eyes and ears into the army. It also completes the old man's account that the army is the main foundation for maintaining the Shancheng government.

"I know that this matter is of great importance and must be treated with caution. This is the case for intelligence work, but I can hear that the navy is now discouraged. In addition, the relationship between me and them has always been the so-called principle of confidentiality of information. It has been selectively forgotten."

"What Ozo Ono said is relatively credible. The logistics and transportation plan is the most critical part of a battle. Since he said that the deadline is May 23, he can basically be sure that this is a long time from the attack. Days approaching."

"I will verify the relationship with the army. This time I have a relationship with the two division commanders. When the time is right, I will go and walk around. I believe there will be a good harvest." Chen Mingxiang said.

In the 64th and 65th Divisions of the 13th Army, he "gifted" a batch of cigarettes and cane sugar. This incident will naturally be appreciated by the division commander. During the period of material shortage, Chen Mingxiang His actions are no less than giving charcoal in the snow, and he naturally has to be close to each other.

Major General Kawamoto Yoshitaro Kawamoto, the deputy chief of staff of the dispatch army, the minister of the Shanghai Municipal Army and the secretary of the 13th Army, gave even more information.

This time it was not Chen Mingxiang who took the initiative to invite him to meet, but he took the initiative to invite Chen Mingxiang to have a meal, accompanied by a Japanese lieutenant general, Takayuki Uchida, the commander of the Japanese 70th Division based in Hangzhou, and his chief of staff. Nakagawa Shunji Army Chief Officer.

"Chen Jun, this time the 64th and 65th Divisions of our 13th Army will each transfer a brigade to Anhui Province to take part in the military operation. You have given a batch of condolences to the Imperial Army. The officers and soldiers spoke highly of the fact that cigarettes and sugar are all in short supply at the moment."

"General Uchida came to the Shanghai headquarters this time to coordinate the transportation of combat materials. He specifically proposed that he hoped that Chen Jun could support a batch of cigarettes and cane sugar in the 70th Division. I also find it difficult to tell, but General Uchida will soon be on the front line. Now, as the deputy chief of the general staff and the minister of the Shanghai stock market, I can only ask my brother to come over and have a chat.

"Of course, I will not let old friends of the empire pay for nothing. After all, you have been serving the imperial army. For this time, I will specifically order the Reserve Bank of China to allocate special funds to you. In a few days, Minister Zhou will come to Shanghai. I leave it to him to deal with it." Kawamoto Yoshitaro said.

Cigarettes and cane sugar are the things that are most urgently needed by the Japanese army. At present, most of the combat troops have stopped supplying them.The low-quality cigarettes dispensed by Japan are not accustomed to smoking by the Japanese themselves, and they are totally inferior to the cigarettes of Chen Mingxiang Cigarette Factory. They are too bitter and astringent, and they are very eye-catching.

As for cane sugar, this thing is of a relatively high grade, and priority is given to Japanese military officers. Moreover, the raw material of cane sugar in Central China cannot be shipped to Southeast Asia, and the Southwest is often out of stock, leading to higher and higher costs.

Although these two things do not belong to war materials, they are very important necessities. Cigarettes can refresh people, and cane sugar can replenish energy for the human body.

But for Chen Mingxiang, isn't it just some cigarettes and cane sugar. Cigarettes are produced by his own tobacco factory, and the cane sugar is sent by the bureau. He doesn't care about these.What is concerned is when and how large the military operations of the 70th Division will begin.

"My tobacco factory, the tobacco leaves are basically obtained from Xuchang, you generals should know, but now Xuchang is fighting, there is a problem with the supply of tobacco leaves, I want to meet the needs of the 70th Division, I have to stop Goods from North China and outside customs."

"General Uchida, where does your division start this time, how many people are there, and when will it arrive at the latest?" Chen Mingxiang said.

Of course, Takayuki Uchida knew that Xuchang was fighting. The Japanese troops of the Twelfth Army of the North China Front Army chased the troops in the first theater of the Shancheng government. They claimed to have a city in one day. Although Xuchang has not taken it down, the main force has already It was only two days before the war began to advance to Xuchang.

"To assist the 11th Army this time, the 13th Army Headquarters will mobilize four brigades from the 62nd Brigade, two from the 61st Brigade, and from the 60th Division of the 60th Division stationed in Suzhou. The 65th Brigade mobilizes two brigades, plus engineers, baggage, and artillery. You prepare for the number of 10,000 people."

"As for time, there is still plenty of time. It should be sent to Jinhua before June 5th. More than a month's preparation should be enough. We are going to attack Quzhou this time. Actually, we are not resident. In the future, our division will live. For supplies, I have to ask Jun Jun to help." Uchida Takayuki said.

It's not that he doesn't have the principle of confidentiality, but that Chen Mingxiang's identity is here, and there is an introduction by Yoshitaro Kawamoto, so it is more casual.

"I tried every means to send 100,000 packs of cigarettes to the 70th Division. According to the standard of two or two per person, one ton of cane sugar was given. The additional support was for a box of first-class cigarettes in the division headquarters and one hundred kilograms of high-quality cane sugar. It’s not that I don’t want to give 100 jin of Biluochun tea, but because the output of cigarettes is limited, more will be given in the future."

"In addition, I have to make a request. The command needs to solve some gasoline. The transportation of the fleet is a trouble. Without fuel, it is scrap copper and rotten iron." Chen Mingxiang said.
