"The transfer of so many divisions from North China to the southeast coastal area to defend the US forces at one time will greatly affect the strength of the troops in North China, reducing the defense forces of important local cities and transportation. This creates opportunities for underground party troops. "Chen Mingxiang said.

The question this time is to spy information for the underground party. The Shancheng government is a heavy army group in Shaanxi in northern China. In other places, it can be said that there is no single soldier. The adjustment of the military strength of the North China front has no influence on the Shancheng government. What a meaning.

Look at the Shancheng government army near the Yanzhou base. Hundreds of thousands of people are staring at the underground party. How good is it to pull out so many regular troops to fight the Japanese army?

"Since the Philippine Army cannot resist the U.S. forces, the base camp naturally has to take into account the safety of the southeast coastal area, and has to make such adjustments. Our entire dispatched army is currently too scattered. Of course, before mobilizing the garrison in various places, we must make corresponding adjustments. Remedy."

"According to the arrangement of the base camp, the dispatched army will successively set up 13 independent mixed brigades and 13 independent garrison units as the local security force after the main force is transferred." Kawamoto Yoshitaro said.

On February 10th, the Twelfth Supplementary Team of the Japanese Field Battle was organized into an independent mixed 92nd Brigade and joined the battle sequence of the Twelfth Army.On February 20th, that is, yesterday, the Fourth Supplementary Team of the Japanese Army, formed into an independent mixed 90th brigade, joined the combat sequence of the 13th Army Command, and will be stationed in Guangling.

Of the eleven independent mixed brigades in the back, eight were for the Japanese Sixth Front Army, which were taken over by the Japanese 20th Army and the 11th Army, respectively, and three brigades were for the Japanese No. The thirty-fourth army.

In this troop redeployment, more than half of the main force of the North China Front Army was taken away. The occupied area was mainly taken care of by the independent garrison. The third to fourteenth independent garrisons were successively organized into independent infantry brigades.

Among them, the third independent garrison was directly under the jurisdiction of the North China Front Army headquarters, the fourth independent garrison joined the battle sequence of the Inner Mongolian Army, and the fifth independent garrison joined the battle sequence of the Shaanxi Japanese First Army.

The thirteenth and fourteenth independent garrison units joined the battle sequence of the Forty-third Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army, which was composed of the 59th Infantry Division as the backbone in March.

The eleventh and twelfth independent guards joined the battle sequence of the 20th Army Command, and the rest were given to the Japanese Twelfth Army Command.

Nagatsusa weighed heavily on Lieutenant General, and also introduced Lieutenant General Tokawajiro of the Japanese Sixth Army Command and Major General Ryoichi Kudo, Chief of Staff. Hangzhou is a very important material distribution center for Chen Mingxiang, and he must deal with the Sixth Army.

"Kun Tenkawa, Mr. Kudo, this is the material trading agency of the dispatched army manager department, and the head of the Huatong Trading Company, Chen Mingxiang, is currently under the jurisdiction of the 13th Army Command and the Shanghai Gendarmerie Command. He is now serving as the Jinling Government. The political affairs committee and chief of police administration of the People's Republic of China have made great contributions to the empire. He was once awarded the second-class Ruibao Zhongguang Medal by His Majesty the Emperor." Said Nagatsu Sashige.

"Although we have not seen it, we have heard of Chen Jun's name for a long time. Kwantung Army’s Chief of Staff Takeda Kodai, General Manager Furuno Yoshitake, Gendarmerie Commander Kato Tomajiro, and Yanagita Motozo of the headquarters of the Ice City Secret Service. The major generals and others mentioned Chen Jun when they were in the Sixth Army, and they also provided a lot of supplies for the Kwantung Army. It is a good time to meet!" Tokagawa Jiro said with a smile.

Lieutenant General Tokagawa Jiro had previously served as the commander of the gendarmerie in central China, and he was naturally very enthusiastic about Chen Mingxiang, the direct line of the gendarmerie system.

Through chatting, Chen Mingxiang also learned that after the headquarters of the Sixth Army moved to Hangzhou, in addition to assigning Lieutenant General Uchida’s 70th Division to the battle sequence of the Sixth Army, it also had to move from the 70th Division and the No. The Sixty-Fifth Division drew a part of its troops to form the First, Third, and Third Division, and entered the battle sequence of the Sixth Army.

The 133rd Division is based in Hangzhou, and the division leader is Lieutenant General Jiaping Yedi. It consists of the 99th Infantry Brigade and the 100th Infantry Brigade, each with four infantry groups.

In addition, in accordance with the instructions of the base camp, on February 25th, the dispatched army will be organized into an independent mixed 62nd brigade, an independent mixed 89th brigade, and an independent mixed 91st brigade. The battle sequence of the Sixth Army.

In addition to the Sixth Army, there was also the 131st Infantry Regiment, with Lieutenant Ogura Tatsuchi as the commander of the division. The station was in Shaozhou, and the 131st and Thirty-two Infantry Regiment, with Lieutenant Liu Chuan Ti as the division leader. Based in Dangyang.

In order to strengthen the combat firepower against the US military, the base camp added five independent anti-tank artillery squadrons, two field artillery squadrons, and four mortar squadrons to the directly affiliated units of the military.

The information obtained this evening made Chen Mingxiang, who has received professional training, become dizzy. The amount of information is too great, and the number of new troops in the Japanese army is beyond imagination.

"With the addition of so many new troops, not only the strength of the dispatched troops has been greatly improved, but the defense force in the southeast coastal area has also been greatly enhanced. Even if the US military lands along the coast, it is believed that it will be trapped in the mud of field battles. Dragging to death alive." Chen Mingxiang said.

"It looks like what you said to most people, but what about the facts? We are all old friends. I also tell you the truth. Although there are many new troops, most of them are recruits. As an adult, he has not received rigorous military training at all and knows nothing about combat."

"The economic and military resources of the empire cannot support so many troops. The weapons and equipment needed in a short period of time. Some troops have to use captured Shancheng government military weapons, a large number of independent mixed brigades and independent garrisons, even artillery. No."

"From the beginning of entering the army to becoming a qualified soldier with actual combat capabilities, a recruit needs at least one year of running-in period and two to three combat experience. These recruits are not even the least accurate shooting, fighting ability and Not to mention the tactical ability, the dispatched troops are worried from top to bottom." Yoshitaro Kawamoto shook his head and said.

This is the negative impact of the war. The source of troops is severely insufficient. Due to economic and industrial strength, there is also a lack of various materials, and the manufacture of weapons and equipment is also in trouble.

Even the most basic rifles, the 38-type rifles and the 99-type rifles produced by Japan, cannot meet the needs of the troops. They are similar to light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenadiers and mortars, let alone. .

The Japanese army also seized a large number of guns, ammunition and artillery during the battle with the Shancheng government forces. The original purpose was to equip the puppet forces everywhere, but due to the lack of resources, they had to equip these weapons with the newly formed Japanese army. .
