Chapter 661 Done

Hyoutaro Imamura understands Kentaro Whitezaki what this question is really asking.

What I am a student asking is why the Saito Division did not participate in the war as the main force, but only as a partial division in western Jiangxi——

The Saito Division is in Nanchang, and the Locust Army will use troops from three directions: western Jiangxi, southern Hubei, and northern Hunan. The Saito Division in Nanchang is not in the battle sequence in southern Hubei and northern Hunan, and there are no signs of secret mobilization. It is still there.

Based in Nanchang, the Saito Division naturally had only one possibility, which was to launch an offensive in the west of Jiangxi.

"The 101st Division is in Nanchang and can move towards western Jiangxi on the spot. It is convenient and fast." Hyoutaro Imamura said. He clicked on the map with the map stick in his hand and drew a line diagonally. "The 101st Division's First Division

, and the 106th Division, left Fengxin, Jiangxi, and attacked southwest, using a partial division to attract Xue Boling's ninth theater."

He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Although they are partial divisions, the 101st Division and the 106th Division shoulder the heavy responsibility of attracting the Chinese army, which plays a key role in whether this battle can achieve the greatest results."

In fact, the reason why the 106th Division and the 101st Division were used as partial divisions was because Gangcun did not think highly of these two divisions.

The 106th Division suffered heavy losses in the battle of Wanjialing:

In last year's Battle of Wuhan, the 106th Division of the Locust Army was almost annihilated by the Chinese army in the Zhanggushan and Wanjialing areas due to underestimating the enemy.

In addition, the 101st Division, which was dispatched to rescue the 106th Division, also suffered heavy losses due to the encirclement, with thousands of casualties, eventually leading to the defeat of both Japanese armies.

Although the Japanese army won the entire Wuhan Battle, the disastrous defeat of the 106th Division at Wanjialing made the military headquarters extremely angry and regarded it as a "hundred-year shame" because there had not been a reorganized division in the history of the Locust Army.

Being beaten like this by the enemy.

In addition, Hyōtaro Imamura knew a lot of inside information that the outside world did not know. In the final stage of the Battle of Wanjialing, Junrokuro Matsuura, the commander of the 106th Division, was also wounded. He led less than a hundred people to hide in a cave and almost died.

They were ready to commit suicide in order to thank Emperor Tian. Fortunately, it was dark and the national army search troops dozens of meters away did not find them, so they escaped by chance.

The 106th Division of the Locust Army has since been labeled with a mark of shame, and even neighboring troops began to reject fighting alongside the 106th Division.

Even during subsequent conscription to replenish troops, the 106th Division was still discriminated against.

Many young people even burst into tears in public after being announced to be recruited into this army.

After the Battle of Nanchang, the military headquarters has decided to transfer the 106th Division and Zhongjing Division back to the mainland.

The 101st Division was implicated by the 106th Division in the Battle of Wanjialing, and suffered considerable losses. After repairs, although it achieved the first success in capturing Nanchang in the Battle of Nanchang in the first half of this year, in fact the performance of Saito Division

This did not satisfy the military department.

Therefore, in this Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi battle, Gangcun simply used these two divisions, which caused a headache for the military headquarters, as partial divisions to attract the strength of the Chinese army——

After all, these are still two elite divisions of the empire in name, and the Chinese army must not dare to be careless.

Moreover, the Chinese army also knows that these two divisions are tired divisions, and they are old opponents who were "defeated" by them in the Wanjialing battle. The Chinese army, which likes to pick weak persimmons, may be like flies smelling blood.

Generally pounce on Saito Division and Nakai Division.



"That's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded slowly.

The Nakai and Saito divisions were like bait to attract troops from the ninth theater.

Moreover, Cheng Qianfan speculated that Gangcun arranged the 106th Division and part of the 101st Division as partial divisions on purpose to attract General Xue Boling——

The great victory of Wanjialing was the proud battle of General Xue Boling. The 106th Division and the 101st Division were the "parties" in this battle. General Xue Boling once said that he regretted not being able to completely wipe out the 106th Division. Now the Japanese will

The release of the two defeated generals, the regiment and the 101st Division, in a sense, gave the Ninth Theater and General Xue Boling a chance to "realize their dreams."

Cheng Qianfan started to speak but stopped.

"Tell me." Hyōtaro Imamura glanced at his student and said.

"Teacher, do you think Chongqing will surrender after the Locust Army was victorious in the Battle of Changsha?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

"Kentaro."

"Hai."

"Are you so confident that the Locust Army will win the Battle of Changsha?" Hyōtaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked.

"The locust army has more than 100,000 warriors, and the Chinese army has more than 200,000 soldiers. Isn't it just like chopping melons and vegetables?" Cheng Qianfan said with a proud look on his face and a smile.

Hyōtaro Imamura looked deeply at his student, nodded slightly, and said no more.

He did not have no confidence in the battle in Changsha, but he personally tended to believe that the empire's victory was not a problem. However, it was somewhat difficult to achieve the goal of annihilating the main force of the Chinese Army's Ninth Theater.

Northern Hunan is watery and mountainous, which limits the movement of the Locust Army's mechanized corps. If the Chinese army flees, it will be difficult to achieve the strategic goal of total annihilation.

Of course, young people are full of energy, enthusiasm, and have great confidence in the imperial army, which is a good thing.

"You came here today just to visit Saito-kun?" Hyōtaro Imamura suddenly asked.

"The students came to see the teacher to report on the situation. As for the meeting with General Saito, it just happened to be a meeting." Cheng Qianfan said.

"What's the matter?" Hyōtaro Imamura nodded and asked.

Not to mention whether Miyazaki Kentaro's words are true or not, the words of his own student are very comfortable to hear.

Cheng Qianfan reported to Imamura Hyotarō that he had learned from Pitt that a joint British and French delegation had made a secret visit to Soviet Russia in May and June.

"Are you saying that the British and French sides did not actually pay much attention to this visit in the negotiations, and they only visited for the sake of the visit?" Imamura Hyōtaro pondered and asked.

"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said sternly, "The French sent generals who were about to retire, and it was more formal than practical. These old generals even bluntly told the Soviet Union that they were just going on a trip and did not expect to reach any agreement with them.

"

After a pause, Cheng Qianfan continued, "The British followed a similar approach. They don't seem to have any interest in reaching any agreement with Soviet Russia."

"You just said that you suspected that Peter deliberately disclosed this situation to you?" Imamura Hyōtaro asked, "What do you think about this?"

"Pete knew that Cheng Qianfan was on good terms with the Empire, so he was probably trying to reveal this situation to the Empire through Cheng Qianfan's mouth." Cheng Qianfan thought, "At the same time, he might not have disclosed this situation to the German side through the Empire.

.”

Hearing this, Hyōtaro Imamura thought for a moment and nodded.

He agreed with Miyazaki Kentaro's judgment.

Britain and France had previously tried to send signals to the empire through many unofficial channels, or in other words, to send signals to the Germans through the empire.

When it comes to this specific matter, the intentions of Britain and France are very clear. What they want to express is:

They have no intention of reaching any agreement with Soviet Russia!

In fact, Japanese diplomats including Hyōtaro Imamura have long understood the intentions of the English and French——

Britain and France were keen on and happy to promote Germany's eastward advance. They hoped that the Germans could go to war with the Soviet Union, and it would be best if both sides would suffer losses.

Now that Germany and Poland have officially declared war, the signal sent by Britain and France is quite interesting.

Considering that he had previously judged that Soviet Russia might intervene in the war in Poland and even make territorial claims to Poland...

Hyōtaro Imamura suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Kentaro."

"teacher."

"Let me ask you, if sacrificing one Poland could spark a war between Germany and the Soviet Union, do you think Britain and France would do that?" Hyōtaro Imamura asked.

"Yes!" Cheng Qianfan said resolutely. He thought for a while and then added, "If there is a 10% possibility, Britain and France will try it."

The corners of his mouth rose, and a smile spread across his face, "It was the Poles who died anyway, and the Poles should have been used to being destroyed."

Imamura Hyōtaro nodded. He was a little more confident about the guess in his heart. Then he suddenly smiled and pointed at Miyazaki Kentaro, "You have such a mouth."

He shook his head, "The Poles are quite friendly to the empire."

Poland was one of the first European countries to recognize Manchukuo, and the empire was quite satisfied with this.

"Poles are accustomed to relying on powerful countries." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "In the future, when the locust army hunts Europe, they might consider supporting a Polish country."

Hyōtaro Imamura laughed heartily.

Although his reason told him that the situation mentioned by Miyazaki Kentaro was still quite difficult to realize, but just thinking about it was intoxicating.



Cen Xu ‘recruited’.

Cen Xu, who had no good meat left in his body, suddenly said with difficulty, "I said."

Hiroyuki Kikube was overjoyed and said, "Very good, Mr. Cen, tell me your identity first."

"I am a member of the Red Party." Cen Xu said weakly.

Hiroyuki Kikube nodded with satisfaction. His guess was correct. This person was indeed a Red Party member.

"My code name is..." Cen Xu said, his voice was very low and breathless.

"Quickly, put him down." Hiroyuki Kikube was shocked and shouted, "Doctor, go call Dr. Gonda."

An agent hurriedly lowered Cen Xu from the torture rack.

Hiroyuki Kikube stepped forward, squatted down, helped Cen Xu, who seemed to be in bad condition, and asked eagerly, "What is your code name? Your superiors all have...ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

Hiroyuki Kikube covered his face and howled like a beast.

The other agents were shocked when they saw this, and rushed over, kicking and pulling him, and finally rescued Hiroyuki Kikube.

"Poof!" Cen Xu spat out the flesh and blood in his mouth. He felt regretful in his heart. His target was Kikube Hiroyuki's neck, but because he had no strength, Kikube Hiroyuki blocked it subconsciously and only bit Kikube.

Hiroobe's face.

"Sure enough, it stinks!" Cen Xu said, with a smile on his face, a contemptuous smile, as he looked at Hiroyuki Kikube, who was covering his cheek and looking at him with utter hatred.

"Bag duck down!" Kikube Hiroo was completely irritated. He removed his holster, pulled out his Nanbu pistol, and turned off the safety.

"Get up, hungry and cold slave! Get up -" Cen Xu sat on the ground, clenched his fists, raised them, and let out his final cry.

Bang bang bang bang!

Kikube Hiroo emptied the magazine directly. He looked at Cen Xu who had been beaten into a hornet's nest and fell on his back.

"Bag ducks down!" Kikube Hiroo, who still couldn't understand his hatred, took the saber handed over by his subordinates and slashed at the corpse like crazy, "Die!"



"Die!" Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth and let out a low roar.

The designation of the 'Sixth Division' almost caused him to lose his composure in front of Imamura Hyoutarou, but fortunately, he resolved it promptly with words and demeanor.

He lifted the car curtain and looked out the window.

The night is already deep.

The street lights are dim.

He couldn't wait to report the military information on the Changsha War that he had just obtained. He was extremely looking forward to the fact that his information could help the warriors in the Ninth War Zone and help our compatriots to die for me!

Previously, he received a call from the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, ordering him to verify the true target of the Japanese army at all costs and further obtain the Japanese military deployment.

Cheng Qianfan called back to Chongqing: Complete the mission at all costs, be loyal to the bureau, and be loyal to the party and the country.

In fact, Cheng Qianfan did not intend to act recklessly.

For example, he had never thought of stealing the military deployment map of the Japanese military operation.

A battle of this scale involves hundreds of thousands of people fighting. Not to mention his current status, it would be difficult for him to directly contact the top brass of the Japanese army in Shanghai at this time.

Even if there is a chance to come into contact with a senior Japanese general, even if this Japanese general wants to participate in this battle and has a secret military deployment letter in his hand, it is almost impossible for him to come into contact with it.

For example, today, even if he met Yataro Saito by chance, if his original intention was to steal military information from Yataro Saito, this would be impossible.

, and it is almost impossible to have a chance.

Therefore, when Cheng Qianfan learned that Yataro Saito was at Imamura Mansion, he immediately made an immediate plan:

I got the opportunity to go to Imamura Mansion naturally, and then met Saito Yataro, and then I tried to find a way to learn about the Japanese military deployment from Saito Yataro and Imamura Hyoutarou!

The reason for this plan was inspired by details such as the marks on the map he saw in Hyōtaro Imamura's study. He judged that since Hyōtaro Imamura and Yataro Saito had the habit of discussing military affairs, this could be exploited.

After deciding on this plan, he built it step by step. Before Saito Kazuo came to pick up Sakamoto Yoshino, he predicted it in advance and once again expressed his respect for Saito Yataro in advance. In this way, Sakamoto Yoshino would naturally

Invite him to accompany you.

On the way to Imamura's mansion, I deliberately made friends with Kazuo Saito, listened to Kazuo Saito's side comments on Yataro Saito's temper, and made more specific plans and preparations for subsequent actions.

In Hyōtaro Imamura's study, even the frequency with which he poured tea for Yataro Saito was carefully calculated. By secretly observing Yataro Saito's sitting posture and expression, he judged when the person would need to urinate.

At the same time, he is also quietly leading the conversation.

Cheng Qianfan was feeling proud, as the dangers were getting worse. When Yataro Saito stood up, the timing was just right. He immediately picked up the map stick and handed it over.

As for bringing Kazuo Saito into the fold, it was also an act of adaptability.

Although during the entire operation, there was an unexpected situation where Yataro Saito was in a bad mood and left early, but fortunately, when he said that sentence, he was actually laying the foundation for preparation——

His words made Saito Yataro unhappy. Based on his understanding of Imamura Hyoutarou, Imamura Hyoutarou would definitely keep him for questioning, which gave him the opportunity to continue to 'ask' Imamura Hyoutarou.

In this way, every step is carefully designed and at the same time adaptable to changes.

In this way, with the joint guidance of Lieutenant General Saito Yataro, commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, and Mr. Imamura, we were able to fill in the gaps——

Now, you're done!

He wants to rush back and send a report to Chongqing immediately!
