Wind spy

To say where the relationship is the strongest, it must be Central China. Chen Mingxiang started from a small translator and gradually reached the top of the Jinling government. This is inseparable from the support of the Japanese army, and even Bei Zeping was His relationship was shocked.

This is because in recent years, the chief officials of various regions have been transferred frequently, and many of Chen Mingxiang's related households have been transferred. Otherwise, even for him in the Mei Department, it would be terrible.

"Perhaps Chen Mingxiang didn't collect relevant information and didn't report it to the Military Statistics Bureau? After all, he is not a professional intelligence officer. Although it may be absorbed by the Military Command Bureau, it is not possible for anyone to spy on intelligence." Confidential The squad leader said.

"It's impossible. Even if Chen Mingxiang doesn't take the initiative to collect, he and so many high-ranking generals of the imperial army will more or less always know some news. If he is as stupid as you said, can he get to where he is now? ?" Bei Zeping shook his head and said.

"Then maybe he received the information but didn't transfer it to the Military Statistics Bureau in time?" the confidential squad leader said.

"Your logic is not clear. Military intelligence is time-sensitive. The 27th Division has already arrived in Jiangcheng and is moving towards Puqi. Seeing that there will be more than a dozen days from now, the battle will begin. There was no report at this time. , The problem may not be with him."

"Actually, I would like to see such a situation. If Chen Mingxiang is an agent of the Military Statistics Bureau, it would be too harmful to the empire. Let it go first, and wait until the war is over."

"Wang Meilin, who was hiding in his house, didn't send me a message. I think it's too much! Right now we have to concentrate all our energy to do a good job in the intelligence work of the Ninth Theater. This battle is very important to the Empire." Bei Zeping still gave up.

This is the complexity of intelligence work. Everything can happen. Chen Mingxiang's approach of seeking stability this time has actually achieved such a gain. I am afraid that he himself did not expect it?

As for Boss Dai, who was far away in the mountain city, he was already in a hurry at this time. Chunfeng just refused to give intelligence, and made the Military Commission and the Ninth Theater Command urge every day.

It's not that there is no such information in other places, but it is all scattered information. They can't find out the attack time and troop allocation of the Japanese army in this battle. Otherwise, Chen Mingxiang is called a strategic agent!

"What's going on with Spring Breeze this time? According to scattered information from the Military Intelligence Office of the 9th Theater Command and the provincial stations of the Military Command, the Japanese army is making a big move. The scale of this battle is far greater than the last Wuling Battle. At this time, he How can I still be calm, tell me to explain to the old man?" Dai Li said impatiently.

Chunfeng reported that the Twelfth Army under the Japanese North China Front Army was going to launch a large-scale offensive against the first theater. However, the first theater command did not believe in Chunfeng's intelligence in the area where the war broke out. As a result, it was defeated.

Chief Xue Yue of the Ninth War Zone obviously learned this lesson. He used to dislike the Military Regiment Bureau, but this time he sent a telegram every day. He even asked the Military Commission to put pressure on the Military Regiment Bureau. The old man had no choice. Can only urge him to quickly ask for information from Chunfeng.

"Is it because of the affairs of the First Theater Command last time, Chunfeng felt a bit aggrieved by his grievances? I think those commanders of the Theater Commands trust the Military Intelligence Department and do not trust the intelligence he has collected so hard. So much effort, but not the respect it deserves, so this time it was not so timely?" Mao Renfeng said.

On the surface, it sounds like he is criticizing and accusing Chen Mingxiang, but in fact, he is saying good things to Chen Mingxiang and reminding Boss Dai that intelligence is obtained at risk, and there must be suitable opportunities. Don’t look short. In a few words, I still don’t know how much I put into it.

The commanders of these theater commands do not respect the fruits of the intelligence personnel's labor. After all, they are behind enemy lines. From the time of the secret service to the present, how many agents died at the enemy's guns!

"No, Chunfeng's loyalty can withstand the test, and he also has a high strategic foresight. Wouldn't he not know the importance of this information to our Shancheng government and the military control bureau, and take his own work if he is questioned? Not what he did!"

"We also have to consider for him, why is it so easy to collect intelligence? Especially this kind of strategic military intelligence needs to be integrated and judged. He is responsible for the Military Command and is also responsible for his own work. Those of us As a leader, you must understand and care." Boss Dai defended Chunfeng instead.

At this moment, Pan Qiwu hurriedly took the telegram to the office, and both of them knew at a glance that this must be Chunfeng's intelligence, and the intelligence of others was not worth his nervousness.

Boss Dai took it over and took a look, and suddenly became serious. He didn't expect that the Japanese army would use so much force in this attack on Tanzhou.

The intelligence personnel of the Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan Office confirmed that the combat sequence of the 11th Army Command of the Japanese Army this time is the Japanese 3rd Division, the 13th Division, the 20th Division, and the 34th Division. , The 40th Division, the 58th Division, the 68th Division, and the 116th Division, a total of eight divisions, plus three independent infantry fifth brigade groups, independently mixed into the 17th brigade Two brigades of the regiment.

The scale of the attack is so large that it is close to 200,000 people!

The most important thing is that Chen Mingxiang pointed out that the deadline for the Japanese army's attack on Tanzhou is 23 days. According to the news from the Japanese navy, the date of the campaign and attack was selected on the Japanese Navy Day, which is May 2. On the 17th.

At the same time, Chen obviously also reported the situation of Jiangcheng’s left-behind troops, including that the 64th Division was going to reach Jiangcheng from the Ping-Han Railway, including the Japanese 39th Division, which was left behind. There were five brigades and three field supplementary teams. The strength of the eight brigade regiments guarded the original locations of the participating divisions.

Secondly, it was confirmed by the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Henan offices that the Japanese army stationed in Jinhua, the 22nd Division of Lieutenant General Hirata Masanori, was now transported by the Japanese navy and army to Yangcheng by sea, and then entered the Japanese No. The combat sequence of the Twenty-third Army Command.

The task is to cooperate with the 104th Division under the 23rd Army, the 22nd Independent Mixed Brigade and the 23rd Independent Mixed Brigade, to launch an offensive against Guangxi Province roughly from the end of June to the beginning of July.

In order to cope with the offensive of the Eleventh Army, the Thirteenth Army will depart from Jinhua, Zhejiang Province to attack Quzhou after June 5th. The 70th Division will be responsible for this task.

The battle sequence units under the command of Lieutenant General Takayuki Uchida include four brigades of the 62nd Brigade, two brigades of the 61st Brigade, the 60th Division stationed in Suzhou, and two of the 65th Brigade. The brigade, plus the engineers, luggage, and artillery, the fourth field supplementary team, is about 10,000 people in size.
