Chapter Twenty-Nine: An Undercurrent Surges
After Matsui Taijiulang got the information handed over to him by Zhang Hanjian, he didn't dare to delay at all, and rushed to the North China Garrison Army Headquarters as soon as possible to report to Kameda Nozen.
"Report to Your Excellency General, I have obtained the deployment map of the central part of Jin Zhen."
"What? Is it true? When Kameda heard Matsui say this, he was overjoyed. If the deployment map of Jin Zhenzhong's troops is obtained, it means that the Kwantung Army can easily open up the Lugou Bridge, an important military passage, and lay a solid foundation for the next big blow to take Beiping.
"Yes, please take a look." Matsui knew that Kameda would be surprised, and the time had finally come for the intelligence agencies to raise their eyebrows, and he handed Kameda the map.
Kameda took the map and carefully studied it, and from time to time he sketched it on the battle map of the Kwantung Army. After a few minutes or so, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Matsui-kun, you really deserve to be an excellent agent of the Great Japanese Empire. This map means a lot to us, and I would like to personally ask for credit from the base camp for you. ”
"Hi Yi, Matsui is willing to serve His Majesty the Emperor." After listening to Kameda's praise, Matsui felt very useful. With such a great contribution, the army warriors can no longer give the intelligence agency small shoes to wear.
The factional struggle within the army is very fierce, and the field troops have always squeezed out the secret service organizations, believing that they are nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun with the empire's money, and the field troops are fighting in a harsh and dangerous environment. Therefore, it has always been advocated to reduce the number of secret services in order to expand the combat units and improve the equipment and welfare of the field troops.
Matsui was very dissatisfied with this, didn't these brainless warriors know that intelligence was a prerequisite for victory in battle? Whichever side has the latest information will be able to minimize its losses, and the probability of winning the war will be greatly increased.
This time, Matsui had completed the task of gathering intelligence perfectly, and he wanted to see what other reasons the guys from the combat unit could have to suppress the intelligence agencies. Haha, I can finally stand up and be a man.
Kameda knew this was a rare opportunity and had to act immediately. Although the Japanese cabinet has been struggling to give an answer on whether it will further invade China, he knows that the military has launched a secret purge against those conservatives. It was not long before His Majesty the Emperor was in complete control of the Japanese army, and the political scene in Japan belonged to fanatical young officers, and the Young Zhuang faction had already grown.
"Warrant Officer Aoki, immediately go and inform all the Wing Commanders to come to the war room of the headquarters for a meeting."
"Hey!" Aoki was a recent graduate of the Japanese Non-Commissioned Officer Academy, and was honored to be assigned to the headquarters as an assistant to Lieutenant General Kameda, a job he was very satisfied with and enthusiastic.
Hearing Kameda say this, Matsui was very excited, and it was the best news that the empire had decided to further invade China. Because he himself was engaged in intelligence work, according to the regulations, he did not have the right to participate in such military meetings, so he took his leave with great interest.
"Your Excellency General, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Well, if there is any intelligence, inform me in time. Don't worry, with me, those guys won't dare to attack your intelligence agencies. "Kameda has always recognized this organization and tried his best to maintain it, and another layer of relationship is that he and Kenji Dohihara are fellow villagers, and of course they help each other.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Commander."
When the wing commanders received an urgent call from the headquarters, they naturally did not dare to slack off and immediately rushed over from their posts.
In the conference room, seeing that all the officers had arrived, Kameda directly gave the order.
"Command! All units were brought to combat readiness of the first level, all soldiers canceled their leave, and those on leave immediately returned to the camp. The baggage units were ready for supplies and ammunition, and the artillery of the artillery units went into the gun emplacements. A specific battle plan has been drawn up, and the attack is scheduled for the early morning of 7 July, and we have asked to enter Wanping City to search under the pretext that a soldier has disappeared during the exercise, and if they do not allow it, we will immediately launch an attack. ”
One of the wing commanders asked worriedly, "What if they let us into the city?" Is our plan cancelled? ”
"The Chinese army will not agree to our requests, so you don't have to worry about that." Setsuro Shimizu said with great certainty to the co-captain who asked the question.
"Shimizu-kun, what do you have to prove that they won't let us into the city? The people of China are very weak, beaten like lost dogs by us, and the deterrent power of the imperial army is huge, and I think it is inevitable that they will compromise and give in. The captain looked arrogant and gave his reasons. In his eyes, the Chinese army was vulnerable, so he felt that this method would not work.
"No, no, no, on the contrary, they will not let our soldiers into the city. First, we chose the time in the early hours of the morning, do you think the Kuomintang defenders will let us into the city in the middle of the night to disturb the people? Second, they were given the latest equipment, and they thought they had the ability to compete with our Imperial Japanese Army, and they must have taken a tough stance on our seemingly unreasonable demands. Thirdly, and most importantly, the officer defending the city was Kim Jin-jung, whom I had dealt with many times, and who was stubborn by nature, and who had always been jealous and hateful, and would never compromise with us easily. Setsuro Shimizu spoke eloquently, and what he said was reasonable, and the officers present agreed very much.
Kameda Notane nodded, very satisfied with Setsuro Shimizu's analysis.
"Qing Shui-kun's analysis is very accurate and in place, and it is out of this consideration that the General Staff came up with such a method. Do you have any other questions? You can bring it up, and we want to make sure it's safe. ”
Seeing that none of the officers present spoke, Kameda waved his hand. "Let's adjourn the meeting, we all hurry up and prepare, and if there is a mistake, the military law will do it."
"Hey!"
After solving the problem of the second pillar, Wang Liang planned to leave the health room, and happened to run into Wang Haiyang when he went out.
Seeing Wang Haiyang hurriedly running to the health room, Wang Liang thought that there was something wrong with his body, so he asked, "What's the matter, is this sick?" ”
Where is Wang Haiyang sick, he is anxious. The classmates were eager to kill devils, and they all urged him to go to the battalion commander to ask for a gun to participate in training. Wang Haiyang went to Jin Zhenzhong to tell him about the requirements of his classmates, and was sent away as soon as he arrived at the door. At this time, Jin Zhenzhong was so busy that he didn't have time to deal with him at all, so he kicked the ball to Wang Liang.
Wang Haiyang looked around the small temple but didn't see Wang Liang, and after inquiring several soldiers, he knew that he was in the health room, so he ran over in a hurry.
"Camp Commander Wang, I'm not sick. The students all wanted to get a gun to participate in the training, so I went to the battalion headquarters to find Battalion Commander Jin, and he said that the affairs of our student soldiers have been entrusted to you, so I came to you. Wang Haiyang explained.
Wang Liang understood, they wanted guns. But the time is too tight, there is no time to train, and they can't play much role when they get the gun. These boys are careless, and if they go off again, they can't be given guns for the time being.
But let them do some other work for themselves, students... What can you do.
Wang Liang asked Wang Haiyang: "What majors are your classmates studying?" ”
"Report to the battalion commander, I am a physics major with physics, chemistry, and literature."
"Physics, have you studied mechanical engineering?" Wang Liang was worried that there were not enough landmines, and thought that he could organize these students to rush to make a batch of mines overnight.
Wang Haiyang patted his chest and said proudly: "Of course I will, as long as I give me drawings and tools, I can get anything for you." ”
Wang Liang thinks this kid is bragging, why don't you go to heaven? deliberately sarcastically said: "Okay, I'll give you the drawings and tools, and make an airplane for me." ”
"Huh?" Wang Haiyang was taken aback, he didn't expect Wang Liang to say this.
Seeing that Wang Haiyang looked like he was eating Xiang, Wang Liang no longer made things difficult for him. Said very seriously: "I'm kidding you, now our troops need a batch of mines." I will provide the materials and teach you how to do it myself, and you and your classmates will make it for me. If this task is completed, I'll shoot you, how about it? ”
