Okamura Neiji wanted to train a group of "common people" to understand the organization of the Eighth Route Army, wreak havoc in the Eighth Route Army base area, and cause those common people to panic against the Eighth Route Army.
"Your Excellency, General, there is one thing I still don't understand about my humble position." Yoshio Shinozuka looked respectful, paused and said, "Your Excellency, General, please clear up my confusion."
"Say!" Okamura Neji waved his hand.
"Since we only need to destabilize the Eighth Route Army's base areas, why do we have to work so hard and understand the specific organization of the Eighth Route Army?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.
"Since it is a show, it must be a trap. These Chinese people have received favors from the Eighth Route Army, so they trust them very much."
Neji Okamura looked indifferent, picked up the tea cup, pretended to sip his saliva, and continued: "So our target is the Chinese people in our occupied area."
Speaking of this, Okamura Neji's eyes flashed with viciousness.
If you don’t love the people like sons and want to be soldiers of the people, let’s see how I deal with you later!
After a pause, Okamura Neiji sneered again and continued: "We can even use the name of the Eighth Route Army to sneak attack the national army troops and sow discord between them."
"Your Excellency, General, is indeed well-deserved for his reputation, and my subordinates admire him greatly!" Yoshio Shinozuka immediately stood up and flattered him.
If before, Yoshio Shinozuka didn't understand why Okamura Neji was in so much trouble.
But after Okamura Neiji's explanation, he already understood what the general wanted to do.
Ruined the good reputation that the Eighth Route Army had worked so hard to accumulate.
To sow discord between them and the people.
Destroy the cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the National Army.
This is simply a plan to kill three birds with one stone.
If the plan succeeds, it will be very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to open up new base areas.
At that time, there will be their enemies everywhere, and the Eighth Route Army can only seek to survive in the cracks.
It is estimated that the Eighth Route Army will be wiped out by itself without the imperial army taking action.
Yoshio Shinozuka regretted it very much. Why didn't he think of such a simple plan?
If this had been thought of earlier, the life of the First Army in Shanxi would not have been so difficult.
"It's just some simple strategies, nothing worth mentioning." Neji Okamura waved his hand casually and said modestly.
Despite his words, Okamura Neji's face was filled with happiness, and he was obviously very satisfied with his plan.
"You can indeed learn a lot by following His Majesty the General, and I've seen it through my humble position!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused again.
Shinozuka Yoshio's flattery made Okamura Neji overjoyed and said: "Okay Shinozuka-kun, now is not the time to brag, go down and prepare these things immediately!"
"Hai! Your Excellency, General!" Yoshio Shinozuka paused, turned and left.
Not long after Yoshio Shinozuka left, a lieutenant suddenly ran in outside the door.
"Your Excellency, General, the military department has an urgent message!" The lieutenant stood up and nodded, then handed the message to Okamura Neiji.
A call from the military?
There are no military operations now, so why did the military suddenly call?
"Read it!" Okamura Neji said.
After reading the telegram, he understood what the military wanted to do.
Because the Third Division was about to arrive in Shanxi, the military headquarters specially sent a North China observation group in order to let other departments learn from it.
And this observation group should have arrived in Shanxi a long time ago.
However, due to the continuous wars, unstable situation, and safety considerations for the observation group, the Japanese military headquarters temporarily gave up this idea.
But recently, the fighting stopped.
Therefore, a group of officers from the Japanese military headquarters decided after a meeting that the observation group should take advantage of the truce period when all forces were unprepared to immediately go to Shanxi to conduct military exchanges first.
Upon hearing this order, Okamura Neji's eyes jumped twice.
In this war that just ended, there is no need to say how bad it was.
As for exchange and learning, it is complete nonsense.
I'm afraid it's someone in the military who he doesn't want to deal with, so he specially sent a group of people to watch his jokes, right?
But since it was an order from the military headquarters, Okamura Neji had no choice but to accept the order.
Wanting to see my jokes is just a dream!
It won't be long before I let you see my true strength!
Okamura Neiji secretly swore in his heart, and then arranged a series of security plans.
Now that I have learned the news, what I have to do is very simple, which is to ensure the safety of this observation group.
They will arrive in Shanxi in three days.
This group of Tuba Road in Shanxi is like a pack of wild wolves. If they smell a little bit of blood, they will pounce on them immediately. Therefore, the safety work of the North China observation group must be done well.
Especially that guy Ding Wei, if this guy knew, the lives of the North China observation group would definitely be in danger.
In short, in one sentence, even if something happens to the North China observation group, it must not happen on their own territory.
After leaving Shanxi, even if they were burned to ashes, Okamura Neji would not even frown.
…
Heyuan County, Military Police Headquarters.
"Zheng Jun, what did you say, the 358th Regiment?" Commander of the Military Police Headquarters, Hirata Ichiro looked at the man in the long gown in front of him and asked.
"Yes, Taijun Hirata is from the 358th Regiment." Zheng Qianyi said with a smile.
Before the Japanese came, Zheng Qianyi was a figure wandering in the underworld in Heyuan County.
When the Japanese completely occupied Heyuan County, he immediately surrendered to the enemy and became a traitor. He followed Ichiro Hirata and helped him with some shady activities.
In addition, he assisted Ichiro Hirata and persuaded some troops who were willing to surrender.
"It is said that the 358th Regiment is Chu Yunfei's team. Which team do you want to advise him about?" Ichiro Hirata asked.
"Taijun, the commander of the first battalion of the 358th Regiment, Qian Bojun, and the deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui." Zheng Qian said confidently.
"Zheng Jun, how confident are you that you can persuade them to surrender and make them willing to serve the imperial army?" Ichiro Hirata asked.
In his view, Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment, was not a simple person, let alone a battalion commander under him.
There is an old saying that says, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general.
"Reporting to Taijun, I know the character of these two people very well. As long as you are willing to give them enough chips, I believe that this matter will not be a problem!" Zheng Qianyi was full of confidence.
"Xinxi, in that case, I leave this matter to you, Mr. Zheng!" Ichiro Hirata said politely.
The person he accepted was not bad in ability, and many people had been persuaded to surrender by him and were willing to surrender to the imperial army and serve as internal agents for the imperial army.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Nationalist troops near Heyuan County have been infiltrated into a sieve by them.
"But Taijun, how much benefit are you prepared to give them?" Zheng Qianyi asked: "Qian Bojun has two thousand men and his strength should not be underestimated."
"Let's give them a battalion commander first. If that doesn't work, we can promise them that we can take a step back and give them a regiment commander's position. As for the rest, we can talk about it slowly!" Ichiro Hirata said with a smile.
He is just a regiment commander. For him, the most indispensable thing in his hands are these fictitious duties, let alone a commander of the Imperial Association Corps, even a security brigade.
Ichiro Hirata can still afford it as long as he applies for it.
"Hai, I understand, I'm here to get ready!" Zheng Qian paused and ran down quickly.
…
358th Regiment Headquarters.
The selection plan was in full swing, but there were always people who didn't want to give Chu Yunfei face and were unwilling to cooperate with the selection. They randomly found a place that couldn't be guarded by troops, so they left with their troops.
This unit is naturally the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment.
Qian Bojun had already noticed that Chu Yunfei wanted to select a group of elites.
Although he didn't know what Chu Yunfei wanted to do, Qian Bojun was very dissatisfied with Chu Yunfei's behavior of eating meat from his mouth.
This battalion is my Qian Bojun's soldiers. Even if you, Chu Yunfei, are the commander, if you want to touch my people, you have to tell me, right?
You just want to take away my elite battalion without saying anything, what a joke!
"Battal Commander, isn't this bad for us?" Zhang Fugui said: "How about we leave a company behind? Chu Yunfei is our regiment leader after all, so we have to give him this kind of face, right?"
Zhang Fugui has always been a helpless character, playing both sides, jumping sideways, and going wherever there is benefit.
Before leaving, he saw that Chu Yunfei's face turned green with anger, but he still suppressed his anger and let them go.
He was also worried that Chu Yunfei would retaliate against them later, so he thought that both sides would take a step back.
"Um…"
Hearing this, Qian Bojun thought for a while and said impatiently: "Well, since Brother Zhang said it, I will give Chu Yunfei some face and leave one company behind. Whichever company is the worst in combat will be left behind.
If you want to snatch meat from my camp, just have your damn sweet dreams!"
The reason why Qian Bojun was dissatisfied with Chu Yunfei was simple.
It would be fine if Chu Yunfei was a brigade commander, but damn he was a regiment commander.
Although he is a battalion commander, he has lived the life of a regiment commander, but he has not been officially appointed by the peak.
Therefore, Qian Bojun always believed that he should be a regiment commander, and his willingness to stay in his 358th regiment as a battalion commander had already given Chu Yunfei enough face.
Seeing Qian Bojun relent, Zhang Fugui also breathed a sigh of relief. He left a company behind and followed Qian Bojun back to Yang County.
…
28th Regiment Headquarters.
At this time, Ding Wei didn't know that Chu Yunfei had also begun to imitate him and was selecting a special operations team.
In addition, Ding Wei is still busy choosing the nearest base area.
Since the enemy has already touched here last time, it means that the current base area is not safe.
So Ding Wei wanted to find a new base.
Although this current base has developed over a long period of time, all aspects of fortifications have been very complete.
But this place, after all, is in the front. To be honest, it is a defensive base area, not far from the enemy-occupied area.
In particular, several Japanese military operations have shown that there are a large number of Eighth Route Army troops here, and they are also the main force of the Eighth Route Army.
In a word, you are not afraid of thieves, but you are afraid that thieves will keep you in mind.
It's one thing not to be afraid of Japanese invaders, but it's really a headache to always be on guard against enemy attacks.
So after the battle, Ding Wei has been considering the new base area and the development of the follow-up troops.
Especially last time, because I went to attack the arsenal.
As a result, an enemy actually wanted to sneak attack on his regiment headquarters. Ding Wei would never allow this kind of cruel thing to happen again.
So since this incident happened, Ding Wei not only intensified his inspections, but also monitored Japanese military radio stations more frequently.
Only by acting both internally and externally can we better control the battle situation.
Ding Wei has always had a strong intelligence unit. Although the 28th Regiment was split up last time, it seemed serious, but in fact it was not damaged.
Team 028 and the Intelligence Section are still there, which is enough for Ding Wei.
Soldiers can be recruited at any time, and training them is not that difficult. They only need to fight a few battles at most, but these special talents are not that easy.
Since the last time the regiment headquarters was bombed.
The Intelligence Section was temporarily moved underground, and the antenna was covered by dead trees. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice that there was an antenna.
"Lao Lu, has there been any information recently?" Ding Wei came to the tunnel and asked casually.
When Ding Wei walked to the tunnel, he found Qiu Chan among them.
Seeing Ding Wei walking in, Lu Yingxiong immediately stepped forward and said: "Report to the captain, we did intercept a piece of information just now. We were just about to report it to you, but you came."
It is no longer difficult for members of the intelligence department who have been blessed by the intelligence ability rewarded by the system to decipher a piece of intelligence.
"Oh, what information? Let me tell you." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"This matter should be left to my sister-in-law..." Lu Yingxiong realized his slip of the tongue and immediately changed his words: "Let Comrade Qiu Chan tell you that she intercepted this information."
"Oh?" Ding Wei's eyes lit up and he looked at Qiu Chan: "You have been working as a translator, haven't you? Why do you remember coming here again?"
Qiu Chan smiled and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the comrades from the Intelligence Department found a strange signal, and it was different from the previous one, so I tried to intercept it.
Unexpectedly, this string of telegrams was different from the ones we intercepted before. I thought it must be very important information, so I asked comrades from the Intelligence Section to decipher it."
"No, it's mainly because of our sister-in-law..." Lu Yingxiong made a second slip of the tongue and was a little embarrassed, so he coughed to demonstrate.
Ding Wei pretended not to hear, so as not to get angry.
"Mainly it was Comrade Qiu Chan who pointed out the direction for us and asked us to find the answer from Japanese textbooks." Lu Yingxiong said with a smile.
"Unexpectedly, the Japanese actually went astray. We found the pattern of Japanese military codes and quickly deciphered all their contents.
"What's the content? Tell me quickly!" Ding Wei said excitedly.
If you can catch a big fish before leaving, your trip will not be in vain.
Qiu Chan said with a smile: "It is a Japanese observation group. The Japanese Army Headquarters is preparing to send a unit to Shanxi for military exchanges with the First Army. There is a major general among them.
If we don’t take the opportunity to kill them, we won’t be sorry for the meat the Japanese put in our mouths.”
Ding Wei's eyes lit up. If he hadn't heard the content of this telegram, he would have forgotten about the North China observation group.
He is very thoughtful and can figure things out quickly.
What sent to communicate.
It's probably because someone in the military department didn't want to deal with Okamura Neji and specially sent an observation group of officers to see his jokes.
At this moment, old devil Okamura Neji is probably getting anxious.
"Qiu Chan, where will this Japanese observation group pass by?" Ding Wei asked.
Qiu Chan said: "According to the information, the nearest road is about 30 kilometers away from us, and it is a continuous slope."
Hearing this, Ding Wei suddenly became happy.
If you don't eat the meat that's served to your mouth, what's the difference between you and an idiot?
