Chapter 1223: Historic Battle

"Boss Dai called and informed about the situation in Shaozhou and the surrounding air force airports, and conveyed the military committee's award order, saying that our intelligence was accurate and timely, and it played an early warning role. Up to now, the No. 1 operation carried out by the dispatched army is extremely Supplement, the predetermined goal has been basically completed, and there may be some scattered small-scale battles next."

"At the beginning of the month, the 40th Division of the Japanese Army sent a small unit to attack the railway pass between Shaozhou and Chenxian. The main attack was launched in the middle of the month. We have notified the ninth and seventh theaters of the relevant situation. It works." Chen Mingxiang said helplessly to Wang Zhen after receiving the message from the bureau's headquarters.

In the 104th Division of the Twenty-third Army of the Japanese Army, one infantry wing was transferred to strengthen coastal defense. Only two infantry wing participated in the battle this time.

Among them, the 161st Infantry Regiment was sent to Shaozhou. Only the 137th Infantry Regiment and the 8th Independent Infantry Brigade were attacking Britain and Germany.

Guarding both sides of the British-German Railway were the 154th Infantry Division of the 65th Army of the Shancheng Government and the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade of the 63rd Army.

Perhaps the power gap between the two sides was too great. In just one day, Britain and Germany fell, while the military fortress of Shaozhou, under the attack of an infantry wing, the Shancheng Government Army’s 187th Infantry Division, 160th Infantry Division and The Twelfth Army Training Group, after holding on for six days, retreated on its own.

The Shancheng government army in Shaozhou was full of loopholes in this battle, and the evacuation of materials was not ideal. A large number of daily necessities such as rice, sugar, cloth and matches were all taken away by the Japanese as trophies and the merchants lost. Disastrously, the Japanese army also received a large amount of supplies.

The Japanese 40th Division led by Lieutenant General Kiyzo Miyagawa attacked Nanxiong on January 31st, while Lieutenant General Ochiai Jinkuro’s 27th Division attacked on the 29th and 30th. , Captured Suichuan Airport and Suichuan City.

The 40th Division captured the Xincheng and Xincheng Airport on February 7th, and joined the 27th Division in Xincheng on the 9th.

Up to now, the dispatched troops have achieved the goal of opening up the mainland traffic line and the southern section of Yuehan Road, and clearing the Shancheng Government Airport in Gan Province. Japanese troops in Guangdong Province can use the Yuehan Railway to reach Jiangcheng directly.

"Anyway, we have fulfilled our responsibility as intelligence personnel. It is not our fault to defeat the war. Don't be discouraged. As long as the war is not over, our mission will not be completed. You must continue to maintain a consistent standard. , To leave a deeper impression on Shangfeng, positive impression, and loyal impression."

"Furthermore, if my child and I are going to the United States in the future, you still have to continue to confuse in the Military Regiment Bureau. Take advantage of this opportunity to keep records of the Japanese puppet personnel and assets, establish secret files, and wait until our Military Regiment Bureau takes over the Shanghai stock market. At the time, Boss Dai definitely needed these things." Wang Zhen said with a smile.

Wang Zhen was also able to understand Chen Mingxiang’s feelings and worked so hard to take risks to obtain the Japanese military secrets. Unfortunately, no matter how hard the direct subordinate station, no matter how hard they did, they did not give full play to their value. They all said that intelligence is the first element of defeating the enemy, but When encountering the Shancheng government army, this law seems to be invalid!

Chen Mingxiang was right when he thought about it. At this time, even if it's screaming, what's the use? It's better to do some practical work. Wang Zhenzhen reminds it is indeed very valuable.

"If you have a wife like this, what can you expect from your husband! Do this work in the front. When dealing with traitor assets and arresting traitors in the future, you will save a lot of time. Boss Dai will definitely be satisfied with this." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile. , Took a look at his beloved wife.

Those who don’t work hard, don’t fight lazy people, specialize in those who don’t have long-sightedness, and do the work to make people speechless. This is also to accumulate capital in the future. Once the war of resistance is won, the Shancheng government will definitely impose sanctions on the traitors. In Central China, North China and areas outside the customs, directly affiliated stations occupy the greatest advantage.

When Chen Mingxiang issued an order to organize the Japanese and puppet assets and establish the traitor files, the U.S. military not only began to approach Manila in the Philippines, but also began an attack on Iwo Jima.

Iwo Jima is part of the Ogasawara Islands. This archipelago is a Japanese archipelago between the Pacific Ocean and the Philippine Sea. It is located more than a thousand kilometers south of Tokyo. It is composed of more than 30 small islands. The famous ones are Ogasawara Island, Chishima, Mother Island, Iwo Jima, etc.

The army’s strength has reached more than 15,000. Lieutenant General Kuribayashi Tadato serves as the commander of the Corps and the division commander of the 109th Division, who will uniformly command the army of Iwo Jima.

The Japanese Navy has a garrison and air force on Iwo Jima. The total number is more than 7,000, of which one third are engineers, used to build tunnel fortresses.

In view of the importance of Iwo Jima, the Japanese army provided reinforcements here regardless of the loss, even if the transport ship was sunk by the US army, the transport did not stop.

The 109th Division is equipped with a 120-mm coastal defense gun and a 155-mm coastal defense gun, as well as a 100-mm anti-aircraft gun and a twin-installed 25-mm anti-aircraft gun.
