Matsui Shigen stepped down last time, and a big reason was due to the summer dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this time he was reinstated, just took office, and was attacked by the summer tide of Xuzhou, disrupting the plan to attack Wuhan.

He has now also determined the location of Xia Chao, which is in the area of Zaozhuang, and he is determined to take revenge on Xia Chao. He was a cautious man, secretly mobilizing troops on the one hand, and sending people to reconnoiter the situation in the summer tide department on the other.

The commander of the Twelfth Army in Jinan, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, now had reinforcements in his hands, and he was determined to take revenge on Xia Chao, but he was worried about the lack of troops in his hands, so he asked the commander of the North China Front Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, and suggested that he cooperate with the Central China Dispatch Army to attack Xia Chao's headquarters in the north and south and open up the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

On this day, in the prison of the Japanese military police headquarters in Hongkou, Shanghai. Because of the death of Shunroku Hata and King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, Kagesa Zhenzhao, who was guilty of dereliction of duty, was arraigned.

However, instead of being taken to the interrogation room, he was taken to Matsui Ishone's office.

Matsui Ishine also has some distrust of Kagesa Zhenzhao, but at present, no one knows more about Summer Chao than him, after all, he has been in charge of the affairs of Xia Chao.

Matsui Ishine decided to reactivate Kagesa Akira. He said: "Kagesa Zhenzhao, I'll give you another chance, you have to do your best to deal with the summer tide and provide accurate information to the imperial army to eradicate the summer tide, can you do it?" ”

Kagesa Zhenzhao is a talent, and he fell for the summer tide last time. Not only was he not promoted to a general, but he was beaten to the end and became a guilty person. He hated Summer Tide so much, and now that he finally had a chance to take revenge, he would definitely not let go of this opportunity.

He said gratefully and coldly: "Your Excellency, the humble post will definitely do his best this time to obtain accurate information on the summer tide of the rebel thief, and establish meritorious service for the imperial army to eradicate this thief." If he fails again this time, he will apologize. ”

Matsui Ishine asked Kagesa to set up a special group to target only the 35th Army of the summer tide.

This time, Kagesa Zhenzhao no longer believed in the so-called martial arts masters, and he decided to conduct the investigation himself.

On this day, a middle-aged businessman appeared in the town of Xiazhuang in the northwest of Lanling County, which was already very close to Baoqianggu. He and his two men, pulling a cart of foreign cloth, arrived at the entrance of the town, where several guerrilla soldiers were checking on the passers-by.

The middle-aged merchant took the road slip and entered the town smoothly, he inquired as he walked, came to a shop, and asked the boss to look at the goods.

After reading the goods, the boss asked the price, felt good, and was ready to buy this batch of fabrics. The middle-aged man asked, "Is there a national army stationed here?" ”

The boss said, "Yes, a lot." ”

The middle-aged merchant asked, "Do you know their numbers?" ”

The boss asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" ”

The middle-aged businessman said: "My three boys were arrested by Ding, I heard that it was a person from the Tiger Army, my wife died in a hurry, let me ask around." ”

The boss said: "Oh, that's the case, there are a lot of national troops, but I don't know the specific number." In this way, my boy is in the army, and I will ask you. With that, he went to the backyard.

As soon as he entered the house, he said to his son, who was a militiaman, "Hurry up and find someone, those people in front are very suspicious." ”

His son was sleeping, didn't want to get up, and asked, "Is there anything suspicious?" ”

The boss said: "He said that his son was captured by the Tiger Ben Army. The people who participated in the Tiger Ben Army were all in a hurry, do they still need to catch Ding? ”

The boss's son immediately jumped up, his pants were not properly on, and the copyist was about to arrest someone.

When they returned to the store. Only to find that the man was gone, the cloth was left on the counter, and the carriage was gone.

The boss's son immediately shouted, and the guerrillas and militia in the town swarmed out and searched for the merchants.

Soon, gunshots rang out on the south side of the town, and people chased them in the direction of the shots. Eventually, the two young men were killed. The middle-aged businessman is missing.

The next morning, at Widow Li's home in the east of town, someone found that she and her 12-year-old daughter had been killed with a knife. It seems that the middle-aged trader did it. At that time, people were attracted by the sound of gunfire, and he took the opportunity to sneak into Widow Li's house. He killed both of them and escaped at night.

This middle-aged businessman is Akira Kagesa. He bought the road strip through the traitors in advance and entered the base area smoothly. I didn't expect to say a wrong word, and I almost died.

In the next few days, Zheng Lanni received a report that Japanese spies had appeared in various places. She immediately launched an intelligence network to reconnoiter the surrounding enemy situation, and found some abnormal movements, so she came to report to Xia Chao.

Chen Shuming's guerrilla army, which was distributed in various towns and villages, also provided some information. He also came to debrief.

After listening to the report, Zhang Zizhong said: "Obviously, the Japanese army has actions against our base areas. It's just that where did they transfer their troops from? ”

Zheng Lanni said: "According to the intelligence of the No. 1 spy, the Japanese army transferred the 134th Division and the 67th Independent Brigade from the mainland, and has landed in Qingdao. The 13th Division of the Central China Dispatch Army has returned to Xuzhou, and a brigade of the 40th Division has secretly entered Huaibei City. ”

Xia Chao nodded and said, "It seems that all this is aimed at our base. Moreover, it was a joint operation of the North China Front and the Central China Dispatch Army. ”

Xia Feng said worriedly: "In this way, the surrounding devils in the base area have reached 2 complete divisions and 5 brigades, plus the air forces of the devils in Jinan and Qingdao, the strength is too large, and this battle is not easy to fight." ”

Zhang Zizhong asked: "Who is this No. 1 intelligence officer, and is his intelligence reliable?" ”

Zheng Lanni said: "He is our old intelligence officer, and the information is very reliable. ”

Zhang Zizhong saw that she didn't say her name and knew that it was a secret, so he didn't ask anymore.

Xu Feihu said: "I calculated, the number of troops that the devils can use is 100,000, the number of troops we can use is 100,000, plus the 50,000 people of the guerrillas and militia, the troops are not superior, and it is indeed difficult to fight." ”

This No. 1 intelligence agent is an old friend, Kazuo Tanaka of the Nanjing Black Dragon Society. Xia Chao gave him a large amount of money, and after bribery, he is now the quartermaster of the Central China Dispatch Army Supply Department. This position is very important, not only because there is oil and water, but also because he can indirectly know the movements of the Japanese army through the allocation of materials, and it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

Summer tide is also a little nervous, he used to fight, most of them took advantage of the devil's loopholes, and he has always taken advantage. This time, the devil's target is his own base, this is a real hard encounter, if one is not good, his own family will be finished.

He suggested that the meeting be adjourned for the time being, and everyone should go back and think about what to do.
