Chapter 579: Both Food and Life
Hearing that Shunroku Hahata was coming to Suzhou, Chen Mingxiang's first reaction was, what major military action is going to be taken by the Japanese army, is it possible that the Battle of Zhejiang and Jiangxi will be held in advance?
"That's the case, Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata is here to inspect the work of Qingxiang in Suzhou, this is the first pilot, he will come to see what the effect is." Li Shiqun said.
The plan was originally conceived by the Ume Organ Shadow Satsuaki, but there were many opponents in the Japanese military's upper echelons, who believed that the effect of the sweep was far better than the implementation of the clean-up.
Okamura Ninji did a very "excellent" job in North China, and as long as he wiped out those anti-Japanese forces, killed the opposing Chinese people, and robbed them of food and property, he would have already achieved his goal.
The key point is that the Qingxiang plan consumes too much manpower and material resources, and it is not a waste to build a blockade line and set up a barrier network, to dig trenches and build artillery towers, and to mobilize so many people to carry out propaganda and education, and to set up so many Qingxiang security teams.
But Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is the top military adviser of the Wang puppet government appointed by the base camp, and he holds the actual power, and those who oppose it have no choice, the other party should not hear it, they can only stare dryly.
As Kagezo Zhenzhao was about to leave Central China and take up a post in the eastern region, this wind began to blow again, and for this reason, the commander-in-chief, Shunroku Hata had to rush to Suzhou in person to see what achievements had been made in the work of Qingxiang.
"Two days ago, Commander Okamura submitted to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army a plan for the May operation plan for the North China side to carry out a sweep, and decided to mobilize the 110th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade directly under it, and with the cooperation of the 41st Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade of the First Army, to implement an ironclad encirclement plan for the central Hebei region."
"In order to achieve the tactical effect of the surprise attack, Commander Okamura did not mobilize the Imperial Army troops around the underground party base area so as not to be detected by the enemy, and adopted the method of long-distance maneuver to build an encirclement.
"I took a look at the plan, it was to start the offensive on May 10, and if I looked at the map, it was basically four neighboring county towns north of Hengshui, and the main combat sites were Shenxian, Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping, called Shenwu Rao'an, and I planned to destroy this underground party's base in one fell swoop." Kiyoshi Ogasawara said.
All of you here are Japanese military officers who are related to the Qingxiang Plan, and whether or not the Qingxiang Plan will be implemented after Ying Zuo Zhenzhao is gone is also related to their future and interests, which is highly confidential, but since it is a grasshopper on a rope, it doesn't matter if you talk about it.
"The 110th Division belongs to the Ding Division, with three infantry wings and an establishment of 11,000 people, the 41st Division belongs to the B Division, with an establishment of 13,000 people, an independent mixed brigade with 6,000 people, and the Imperial Army dispatched 36,000 troops. Shigedo Kenfumi said.
Chen Mingxiang was very anxious when he heard the news, although he was not an underground party, but the underground party's army and base areas were also very important anti-Japanese forces, and the land north of the Yellow River, except for Shaanxi Province and remote areas, had no resistance force of the Shancheng government at all, and it all relied on the underground party to persist in fighting behind enemy lines.
The Japanese army was going to mobilize heavy troops to carry out a brutal sweep of the base areas and destroy the anti-Japanese foundation, and if the news was not transmitted to the underground party in time, it was not known how much damage it would cause.
The old man of the Shancheng government is always like a great enemy of the underground party, and Boss Dai of the Military Unification Bureau is also talking about the underground party, but Chen Mingxiang is not a politician or a strategist, he only knows that resisting Japan is the top priority now, and he joined the military unification because of this ambition.
But on such an occasion, he must not show any emotions, he frequently raised his glass to toast, and ate and drank until midnight.
The devil officer was very satisfied with the gifts and red envelopes given by Chen Mingxiang, although the red wine and cigars can only be seen tomorrow, but the dollars have already been put in their pockets, and 2,000 US dollars is not too little, and it is nearly 10,000 yuan in yen!
"You drive back to Shanghai tomorrow morning, go to the "News Daily" office to find the editor-in-chief Zheng Tonghui, and say that my silk and tea are going to be advertised, take him to the office, take the camera, forget it, I want two from the Qingxiang Committee!" Chen Mingxiang said to a bodyguard.
It is already the end of May, and this information cannot be delayed, and it is necessary to leave time for the base areas in the central Hebei region to evacuate, so the sooner the better.
Chen Mingxiang decided to take a risk, and directly dragged Zheng Tonghui to Shanghai in the name of talking about advertising, took a few photos, and went back to publish them in the newspaper, no one would suspect it, and Zheng Tonghui was not exposed anyway.
In the morning, Li Shiqun wanted to arrange the reception of Junliu Hatata, and Chen Mingxiang went to his own office of the Qingxiang Committee to block the material management office, drink tea and read newspapers and wait for a morning, and at noon, Li Shiqun invited him to his home for dinner, also to facilitate conversation.
Li Shiqun's provincial chairman's official residence in the famous Tianxiang small building, the earliest called Suzhuang, is the residence of a lieutenant general of the Beiyang government, was built in 1920, in 1933 by the shipping, financial businessman Xi spent 100,000 oceans to rebuild as a garden villa.
The whole garden is divided into two parts: the residence and the garden, the west is the residence and the east is the garden, the residence has both the style of Chinese and Western combinations, and also incorporates the style of the northern architecture, there are two wings of the Mandarin Duck Hall, the main building and the east and west, and the three buildings form the shape of the character.
The garden is on the east side of the main building, the shape is a horizontal rectangle, not only there are rockery stone paths, there is also a hexagonal pavilion built on the mountain, the greening is very good, quite has the characteristics of Suzhou garden.
"Mingxiang is here, please sit down, have a cup of tea first, and then have dinner in the restaurant later." Ye Jiqing said with a smile.
This is in the south hall of the Mandarin Duck Hall, which is generally a place for hostesses to meet guests, and it is a very private space, and it really does not take Chen Mingxiang as an outsider.
"You called me and said that you wanted to engage Su Chengde, do you have any specific ideas? He has now taken refuge in the Mansion faction, with Lin Baisheng behind him, and he is the chief of the police department, which is not so easy to deal with. Li Shiqun just sat down, and before Chen Mingxiang could take a sip of tea, he opened his mouth and asked.
It can also be seen from this that he hates Su Chengde, the so-called traitor, to the bone marrow, and his attitude is very clear, and he agrees to join forces to deal with Su Chengde.
But this matter is really not good, Su Chengde himself is not afraid, he is just a traitor to the Central Unification Bureau, but the forces behind it are too terrifying.
Li Shiqun was worried that cleaning up Su Chengde would arouse Wang Jingwei's disgust, and since he became the provincial chairman, he has been fascinated by the taste of power.
What's more, Kagesa Zhenzhao has decided to leave the Mei Agency, and the biggest killer weapon he relied on has lost its effect, and he doesn't dare to be as unscrupulous as before.
