Most of the officers of the two commands were severely reprimanded, from the commander-in-chief of the North China Dispatch Army, to the commander of the North China Dispatch Army, Motoyama, and then to the division commanders below, except for two people, Yasuken Nakajima and Litaka support, especially the former.

In the last war, Kang Ken was rebuked by Motoyama and was even detained, but after the war, the investigation team found that his operation was very successful, and despite their heavy casualties, their actions forced the Shina army to withdraw troops from the front. Disrupting the deployment of the Chinese army was a key factor in the frontal army's capture of Xuzhou.

The team's advice eventually led to Nakajima's release from prison and his subsequent promotion to lieutenant general and commander of the Fifth Division, a decision that greatly relieved young officers who were concerned about Nakajima's fate.

"Of course it's him. A promising guy. Imai Takeo smiled and said: "Kagesa-kun, Tufeiyuan-kun's work in North China has failed, we can't meet Wu Peihu's request, Tufeiyuan-kun has decided to give up, and now Wang Jingwei is our only choice." ”

Kagezo Zhenzhao knew that Imai Takeo was reminding him not to be too cold Wang Jingwei's representative, after Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping arrived in Shanghai, Mei was very polite to them, but they just didn't mention specific negotiations, which made the two of them a little discouraged, and they returned to Hong Kong a few days ago.

"Nothing, they will come back after conquering Wuhan." Kagezo Zhenzhao said lightly, Imai Takeo knows the meaning, the price of the peace plan brought by Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping is also quite high, and he is not willing to make any concessions in Manchuria, Mongolia and the garrison, and it will not be beneficial to start negotiations now.

To get the most out of the bargaining table, the performance on the battlefield must be commensurate; In Japan's strategy, Chiang Kai-shek had to step down, the KMT-CCP cooperation had to stop, and to achieve all this, Wuhan had to be conquered, and the sooner the better. Only by occupying Wuhan and destroying the main forces of Chiang Kai-shek's troops will there be changes within China and the acceptance of imperial conditions.

The two of them were talking. A familiar car was under the mausoleum, and an officer jumped out of the car, and the officer hurriedly walked to the memorial hall, found Kage Zuo Zhenzhao, and handed him a document

"What's wrong? What's going on in Shanghai? Imai Takeo hurriedly asked, it must be a big deal to make the news of Kagesa Zhenzhao such a gaffe.

Kage Sazhen nodded with a gloomy face, the expression on his face changed rapidly, Yin Jiang was uncertain, he thought about it and decided to tell Imai Takeo: "We all have a spy in the Shina.

Takeo Imai sighed softly when he heard this, this is not surprising, there are so many Chinese, there are so few, it is normal to be treacherous, but Kagezo's subsequent words made him nervous.

"We have seized an important leader in the Shanghai District, and according to his confession, the government of China has a spy in us, and he can know our military deployment, and even know the content of the negotiations between Wang Jingwei and us. Before the last battle, the Chinese army made adjustments to our deployment, and his information was directly handed over to Chiang Kai-shek, and only two people within the Central Union knew about it; One of them is Xu Enzeng, and the other is Chen Lifu. The reason why he knew this was that Xu Enzeng was drunk and inadvertently revealed his mouth. ”

Takeo Imai suddenly exploded, and even Li Shiqun did not know about the affairs of Wang Jingwei's representatives, and was strictly locked inside the Mei organ, except for Nanjing and Shanghai. Even Nishio Shouzo didn't know the details. It is really terrible that such a confidential matter was actually mastered by Chiang Kai-shek.

"If so. Military operations must be suspended and this guy dug up. Kagesa Zhenzhao's face was gloomy, he knew that this news would definitely cause the wrath of Tada Jun and Nishio Shouzo.

Sure enough, Tada Jun was furious and strictly ordered Kagesa Zhenzhao to find out this within a month. Spies, otherwise they will be severely punished. Looking at the back of Kageza Zhenzhao leaving in a hurry, Tada Jun said to Nishio Shouzo: "No wonder Yan Junjun and Shiyama Jun will be defeated, if we can't dig out this guy, I'm not optimistic about this Wuhan operation, even if we conquer Wuhan, we can't achieve the goal of destroying the Shina army in large numbers." ”

After all that is said. Tada Jun thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, the Wuhan combat operation will be suspended, and you can start an operation against the Eighth Route Army in North China first, and I will give you a month." ”

"This little time is not enough," Nishio Shouzo said calmly: "The Eighth Route Army is not a rabble, and several battles have shown that their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of the regular army in China, and it is necessary to clear the Eighth Route Army in North China." It would take two months just to get in the wings. Historically, the occupation of a place has to consolidate a place. Otherwise they will come back again, so it will take a little time to consolidate, Commander, without three months, it will never be possible. ”

Tada Jun was a little hesitant, the military department asked them to conquer Wuhan as soon as possible, if it was delayed for three months, what kind of reaction the military department would make, he really didn't know, and the longer the delay, the more prepared the Chinese side would be

Most of the troops from the country are recruits, commanders, and the last battle proved that the combat effectiveness of these recruits is far inferior to that of veterans, and most of the casualties in the troops come from new recruits. Nishio said slowly that he was deeply impressed by the sweep of the new 22nd Division on the north bank of the Yellow River before the start of the last Battle of Jinyin Road, so he was suspicious of the new troops that were formed in a hurry.

Tada Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly, he didn't know about this situation, but the problem was that according to the information they received, the casualties of the Chinese army were equally large, and the troops were also replenished with a large number of new soldiers, so the delay was also beneficial to the Chinese army.

Seeing that he was hesitating, Nishio Shouzo added another piece: "Although you asked them to find out within a month, but such an important spy, the people of China must be able to protect it well, and one can't find out at the same time?" Commander, the Wuhan operation is very important, if the main force of the China Army cannot be eliminated in this battle, the China War will be completely deadlocked, and it will be difficult to open up the situation again in the future. ”

Nishio Shouzo did not know the extent of the discussion with Wang Jingwei, but he did not think that Wang Jingwei could replace Chiang Kai-shek, because Chiang Kai-shek's position seemed unstable, but in fact it was difficult to shake it, and the peace that bypassed Chiang Kai-shek was by no means a real peace.

Tada finally relented and agreed to convene an operational meeting to discuss the security situation in North China, which would precede the Wuhan operational conference.

Two days later, the meeting was convened, and Ligao supported the meeting to shine brightly, fighting the heroes of Nanjing, and he skillfully analyzed the situation of the various units of the Eighth Route Army in North China, as well as the scope of their activities, the organization of various places, the number of recent battles of the garrisons in various places, the casualties, the allocation of food, cloth and other materials, and so on.

"In the past three months, garrisons in various places have fought more than 1,700 battles, and our troops have suffered a total of 4,600 killed and wounded more than 7,000; Grain is only the task of erosion, and cotton cloth is even less, and if this situation is allowed to develop, we will be squeezed out of North China. In addition, last year, the Imperial Army struck a blow at the wing and dealt a great blow to the concave organization of the time, although they have returned, the regional organization has not yet been restored, and if we attack now, we can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Standing high support shook the officers in the audience. At the same time, the casualties of the North China troops were as high as more than 10,000 people, which was no less than the casualties of one battle, and the red area of the activities of the Eighth Route Army in North China on the map squeezed the yellow area representing the imperial army to the lines of communication and near the big cities.

In the face of this situation, the generals present were in a heavy mood, and finally unanimously agreed to first carry out a three-month purge of the Eighth Route Army in North China. The specific operational objectives were the Wing Central Plain, the southeast of the Wing, the south of the Wing, and the Lu Border of the Wing, and the specific battle plan was drawn up by the North China Dispatch Army Command, and Commander Nishio Shouzo was responsible for the specific implementation.

Kagesa did not attend the meeting, but he returned to Shanghai on the same day, and immediately interrogated the head of the Central Command, then sealed the news tightly, and then summoned the head of the intelligence department, Kogoro Kawahisa, to his office.

Kagesa Zhenzhao was very satisfied with the way Kawakugo handled the matter, and as soon as he got the news, he sealed the news at Li Shiqun's secret service headquarters, and no one was allowed to see him alone.

"What do you think?" After the door closed, Kagesazhen asked.

"This person is not a Zhina person, it is very likely that we are in the Mei Office or the Shanghai Garrison Command." He Jiu did not hesitate, judging from the explanation of the district chief, several emergency operations, especially the defection of Ding Mopost, according to the district chief. The report is not from Hong Kong, but from Xuzhou.

At that time, after the telegram from Xuzhou came, Xu Enzeng immediately called them to a meeting and informed them of Ding Moyou's defection. When Ding Moyou defected, the secret service headquarters had not yet been established, and Li Shiqun personally instigated the rebellion.

And another thing also shows. It was the information of Gao Zongwu and Mei Siping, which was a sentence leaked out by Xu Enzeng after he was drunk, saying that Wang Jingwei's every move was under the attention of the chairman of the committee, and even the draft negotiations they proposed and the reply of the Japanese were known, so there was no need to worry, and when he said this, his confidential secretary stopped him.

In addition, there were many operations carried out by the headquarters of many secret agents, which the headquarters of the Central Union knew in advance, and they were notified by the Wuhan side several times. so that they can avoid it.

"Your judgment is correct, this person is either in this building or in the Shanghai headquarters" Kagesa Zhenzhao wandered back and forth in the room, he was thinking about how to find this person, Kawaku Kogoro stepped forward and handed him a list.

"Your Excellency, this is a list I have drawn up for this building." After Kawa Jiu finished speaking, he took a step back.

Kagesa Zhenzhao opened the list, and the fourth name on it was written by Shigoro Osawa.
