Lieutenant General Shimoto Kumaya informed Kobayashi Asaburo of the situation reported by various units on the phone, and then said: "Kobayashi-kun, the current situation is a bit weird, I don't know why the Eighth Route Army launched an attack at this time. What I couldn't figure out in particular was that the squadron of our 10th and 8th Divisions stationed in Gaomi had already sent a farewell telegram, but the squadron of the Jiaoji Road garrison stationed at Gaomi Station reported that everything was normal. What about this situation? The Eighth Route Army will not only attack the squadron of our 10th Eighth Division stationed in Gaomi and let go of the troops of the Jiaoji Road garrison stationed in Gaomi Station! ”

Kobayashi Asaburo had already read the telegram sent by the 10th Eighth Division, and now that he had listened to the more detailed report of Shimoto Kumaya, he intuitively felt that there was definitely something wrong with this. Not only is it bad, it's terrible.

Kobayashi Asaburo and Otaka Kamizo were both newcomers to Shandong, and they had only heard of the tactics of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army, but had not personally experienced them, and it was impossible for them to be as alarmed as the commander of the North China Front, General Terauchi Shouichi, and they could quickly judge the Eighth Route Army's intentions. Therefore, the opinion put forward by Kobayashi Asaburo is that the Eighth Route Army seized the communication equipment of the Gaomi Station troops of the Jiaoji Road Garrison? But he wasn't sure about this himself, so he cautiously suggested if he could send an ironclad train to Gaomi to see what was going on there. In the end, Kobayashi Asaburo told Shimoto Kumaya that he must order his troops to remain on high alert, strictly prevent a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army, and keep in touch. He will immediately report to Commander Ogaka Kamizo, and immediately convene a meeting of the head of the Jinan secret service, the commander of the military police, and the director of the police department of the puppet Shandong Provincial Political Axe Office to comprehensively analyze the intelligence and study and judge the true purpose of the Eighth Route Army's move.

Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, commander of the 12th Army, had been in the war room since the operational meeting and was concentrating on studying the campaign plan for the Jiaoji Road sweeping operation. In his free time, he dug out the looted military books and studied the ancient Chinese art of war.

That night, Odaka Kamizo did not find a female soldier to vent his lust like Kobayashi Asaburo, but took out the "Historical Records" found from the library, studied the "Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", and carefully studied Han Xin's deeds.

When he saw Han Xin using the Chu army's general Long and anxious for a decisive battle in the Wei River near Gaomi Jingzhi Town, he built a dam to store water, and released water when the Chu army was halfway crossed, replacing the soldiers with water, flooding the Chu army, and then beating the drum to attack, and annihilating the dragon and the army in a battle, the tail Gao Guizang couldn't help but praise it, and sighed that Han Xin was a true god.

Since he advocated invading China and advocating a quick victory, Ogaka Kamezo naturally attached great importance to learning Chinese and understanding China's customs, terrain, political factions, and military combat strength. However, none of these things can be seen thoroughly by studying Chinese in optics, and people like Elephant Tail Takaka Turtle Zang who are swaying in half a bottle only understand the skin. For example, his understanding of the Eighth Route Army does not have the profound experience of Shouichi in the temple and Xiangyue Qingsi. In his opinion, the Eighth Route Army, like the Gui Army, the Hunan Army, and the Jin Sui Army, was armed by local factions in China, and its equipment was very backward. Liu Yimin's ability to win successive battles was caused by the North China Front's pride in underestimating the enemy and not wanting to forge ahead. Otherwise, why could Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, which had the most complete system, the strongest combat effectiveness, and possession of the army, navy and air force, defeat the city that had lost its name, but could not win the Eighth Route Army, which relied on captured ammunition even for ammunition?

Watch "Historical Records? The Legend of the Marquis of Huaiyin" was fascinated by the Tail Turtle Lieutenant General and went to bed with his own thoughts. In his sleep, he turned into a heroic Han Xin wearing armor, carrying a chariot and leading the Han army to line up on the west bank of the Wei River. Looking at the opposite bank from afar, the 200,000 Chu troops were in bright armor, hunting battle flags, and neighing war horses, all of the Chinese soldiers around him were frightened and pale.

Looking at the formation of the Chu army, the tail turtle who was transformed into Han Xin in his dream sneered, and immediately ordered the general to step forward and scold the formation, stimulating Long And.

I saw a partial general riding out, running to the Weihe River to stand still, pointing to the opposite bank and scolding: "Long and Xiao'er, you are a scoundrel, relying on the reckless and cruel Xiang Yu to achieve today's position." The generalissimo of the Han army said, you big fool, big liar, big thief. If you have the ability, retreat twenty miles, and after our army crosses the river, you will have a big fight with you, and you will be divided. ”

This high turtle is really a little devil, and even speaking Chinese in his sleep is in the style of the original language, opening his mouth and closing his mouth widely.

Gossip Hugh said, the Chu army commander Long He listened to the Han army's general scolding, angry, pointed his sword to the west bank, the Chu army column sounded a whining horn, the army began to cross the river to attack.

The tail turtle who transformed into Han Xin laughed secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu waited for you to cross the river to attack and so on, the grass grew in his heart, come quickly, put the forward, the Chinese army, and the left and right wings into the water, let Lao Tzu drown in a good time!

It may be that his integrity moved the heavens, the Chu army really poured out, the forward, the left and right wings, and the Chinese army began to go into the water, and from a distance, the Chu army on the east bank of the Wei River was like ants moving, plopping and rushing straight into the river. When will it be waterproof at this time? Ozaka Kamizo waved the order flag and ordered the upstream to be notified to release the water.

In a short time, part of the vanguard of the Chu army who crossed the river first had already landed, and all the main forces of the Chu army were in the riverbed behind. At this moment, the dam upstream was opened by the Han army, and the clear water of the Wei River swept into the waves, one tide after another, roaring and rushing downstream.

The Tail Turtle Zang, who transformed into Han Xin, already knew from the beacon signal transmitted along the road that the water was about to arrive, and he felt a burst of pride in his heart, feeling that the land of Qilu was about to change hands, and I was afraid that he would have to think about how to ask the King of Han for a reward.

The Chu army who was crossing the river never dreamed that the calm Wei River that could be crossed suddenly changed its face, and it was still screaming and rushing to cross the river, at this time, the flat ground thundered, and the black pressure pressure line tide was pressed from top to bottom, and the roaring rushing sound woke up the Chu soldiers who were crossing the river, these guys were like five thunders one by one, and they were stunned to look at the rumbling tide in the distance, and they were so frightened that they couldn't even move their feet.

It's time to strike back. Transformed into Han Xin's tail high turtle hiding order flag, he urged the army to kill the Chu army that had just landed on the shore, he wanted to destroy this part of the Chu army first, and then quickly cross the river after the flood to completely defeat the Chu army.

The sword light and sword shadow, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Han army had already seen the prospect of flooding the Chu army at this time, and their morale was greatly boosted, roaring, and killing the front of the Chu army.

The fighting on the shore could not cover the battle in the riverbed, but the fighting on the shore was the soldiers of the two armies fighting for their lives, but in the riverbed it was a different scene, it was the soldiers of the Chu army fighting against the water. Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the fight is not in line with reality, it is the soldiers of the Chu army racing against the rushing water, to see whether the water arrives first or the people run ashore first. The results speak for themselves, how can a person's two legs run across the current? As a result, the vast majority of the Chu soldiers could only shout and sink in the current, being swept and swallowed downstream by the waves of the Wei River.

The Chu army collapsed.

After the flood, the main force of the Chu army, which was still in high spirits just now to cross the river to attack, disappeared in a moment. After cleaning up the Chu army on the west bank of the Wei River, the Han army, which landed the forward troops, began to cross the river and march eastward, and was about to launch a pursuit. At this time, the tail turtle hid a spirit, and he woke up from a dream.

The consciousness of Otaka Kamizo, who had just woken up, was still vague, and he was still intoxicated in the dream, until the staff officer on duty couldn't help but raise his foot and stomp on the door, and Otaka Kamizo was considered to have really woken up.

The good dream was interrupted, and Ozaka Kamizo was annoyed in his heart, and scolded Baga before getting up and dressing.

When the wind and discipline were buckled, a thought suddenly flashed in the mind of the tail high turtle, if only Liu Yimin's main instructor was in Shandong, then the layout was set up and they were led to the Wei River. In the end, the army surrounded them, forced them to go down the river, and then, just like Han Xin flooded the Chu army, came to a modern version of the flooded earth eight roads, which could save the imperial army a lot of ammunition!

With this thought, Ozaka Kamezo's mind immediately turned away, and he began to think about how to deploy the troops and how to lay them out.

Thinking about it, there was an illusion in his mind, and Liu Yimin, who seemed to be known as the god of war, was ignorant and led the troops to camp in the Weihe area, and he and his beautiful wives were still living a casual married life. At this time, Otaka Kamezo had already completed its deployment, and in the sky was the dense array of fighters of the Army Air Force of the North China Front Army and the naval air force of the Combined Fleet, which quietly approached the station of Liu Yimin's troops, and soon began to drop bombs and dive strafe, which caused the gang of Tubalu to cry and cry and bleed like a river. On the ground were the divisions and regiments of the 12th Army, which were moving rapidly and rushing towards the Tuba Road. Tanks roared, artillery rang out, and machine guns on armored vehicles spewed tongues of fire, mercilessly reaping the lives of the Eighth Route Army. After the panicked Liu Yimin hastily resisted, he had to lead the troops to rush left and right, desperately breaking through. But he was greeted by the torrent of steel of the Twelfth Army of the Great Imperial Army and the glittering bayonets of the soldiers. In the end, the tail high turtle hid on a snow-white war horse to catch up with Liu Yimin, and with a knife, Liu Yimin split up. Otaka Kamizo picked up Liu Yimin's head and flew back to Tokyo directly on the plane to report to His Majesty the Emperor. Empress Liangzi looked at him affectionately and said that he was the first general of the Great Empire and could assume the heavy responsibility of Chief of the General Staff.

The staff officer on duty at the headquarters of the 12th Army was purely looking for a draw, and he didn't look at the fact that the commander was already out of the world, and he stood outside the door and knocked on the door and reported loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, Chief of Staff, please go to the war room!" ”

The tail high turtle was sleepwalking, Harazi flowed all over the place, his train of thought was interrupted by the little staff officer, and he hated it in his heart, opened the door, grabbed the collar of the staff officer on duty, rounded his arms, snapped, snapped, snapped and slapped away, and scolded while beating: "Yours, pig's head, big pig's head!" ”

After the fight, Odaka Kamizo went to the war room with a snort.

Although Otaka Kamezo is known as a brave general who is more reckless and less resourceful, he is by no means a reckless and stupid person, and he can be admitted to the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, the Army University, and master classmates like Doihara and Itagaki Seishiro who are good at making intrigues and tricks, and they are also very cunning. Otherwise, the base camp of the Yue Army would not have appointed him as the commander of the Twelfth Army. It's just that when Ozaka Kamizo is thinking about fighting, he is more savage and bold.

After listening to the report of Chief of Staff Kobayashi Asaburo and reading the report and records of the 18th Division, Otaka Kamizo immediately judged that this was a long-planned operational deployment of the Eighth Route Army, with the purpose of attacking the Jiaoji Railway, cutting off the supply lines of the Imperial Army, and planning for the operations in Wuhan and Guangzhou.

After judging the situation, Odaka Kamezo said to Kobayashi Asaburo, "Kobayashi-kun, don't panic. The Eighth Route Army's move was nothing but a death struggle, trying to contain the imperial army from increasing troops to Wuhan and Guangzhou by attacking Jiaoji Road. This group of Tubalu are illiterate, they have never left China in their lives, and most of them have never even been to the beach. How could they know that the empire's maritime power was strong, and if the imperial army wanted to increase troops or replenish war materials to Wuhan and Guangzhou, it would not need to rely on the railways and roads in China at all, and it would be enough to solve the problem by sea. ”

Kobayashi Asaburo was more delicate than Otaka Kamezo, and seeing him so arbitrary, he couldn't help but remind: "Your Excellency, the Eighth Route Army is a full-scale attack, and several county towns have fallen at the same time, which shows that their forces are very strong. You must know that although the imperial army does not have many troops stationed in various counties, the soldiers of the 108th Division are all conscripted reserve soldiers, and their tactical quality is very high. Now several county towns have been lost silently in the blink of an eye, and most of the garrison troops have not had time to retreat, and they can't even report the number and strength of the attacking Eighth Route Army, which shows that they are not the opponents of the siege troops of the Eighth Route Army at all. In this case, I am afraid that we will have to carefully analyze and find out the true intentions of the Eighth Route Army. ”

After listening to Kobayashi Asaburo's words, Ogaka Kamezo was a little moved, climbed to the map and pondered carefully for a while, feeling that the chief of staff's words were indeed reasonable, and there was also a suspicion in the middle, the remnants of the Eighth Route Army in Jiaodong had fled to Qinghe, and it was normal for them to launch an attack to the north of Jiaoji Road. But where did the Eighth Route Army on the south side of Jiaoji Road come from? Could it be that the remnants of the Eighth Route Army left in the southeast of Shandong and the Taiyi Mountains have left the mountains? If that's the case, you'll have to think about it carefully.

While Otaka Kamezo was staring at the map and thinking, the head of the Jinan secret service, the commander of the military police, and the director of the police department of the puppet Shandong Provincial Political Axe Office, who were urgently notified by Kobayashi Asaburo, had arrived, but the news they brought was not optimistic.

After Wang Laohu made a big fuss in Jinan, the army's secret service organs, military police headquarters, and police department in Shandong were all wiped out, and not only were the personnel wiped out, but even the archives were transported, transferred, and destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, which made the new Jinan secret service chief Ohashi Xiongxiong Dazuo very depressed.

He graduated from the Army Noncommissioned Officer School and the Army University, and served as a staff officer of the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the North China Front Corps Headquarters in Mongolia.

After Ohashi Xiongxiong took over the mess of Jinan's secret service, although he was depressed, he was not discouraged; he found a group of graduates from the Army's Nakano School, and transferred some gendarmes from Beiping and Tianjin who were good at espionage work, and reorganized the Jinan secret service, and followed the old system, setting up five specialized classes under the secret service. Among them, the administrative class is responsible for directing the administrative activities of the puppet regime; The police squad is responsible for directing the activities of the police and the garrison; The economic class is responsible for directing economic control and economic plundering activities against China; The cultural class is responsible for directing the propaganda and education activities of slavery; The intelligence team is responsible for intelligence collection and collation.

If these are the only ones, it will not be able to show the means of the Ohashi Xiongxiong Lu Da high-achieving students. After completing the establishment of the spy agency, this guy conscientiously summed up the lessons of the Eighth Route Army's troubles in Jinan, and came to the conclusion that the reason why the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack was successful was because the intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army lagged behind. After learning from the pain, Ohashi Xiongxiong personally went to Beiping three times to report to Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe and Lieutenant General Seiichi Kita, chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and mobilized forces to set up the "Qianqiu Mansion" to replace the "Plum Blossom Mansion" destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, and appointed Guyameng who was transferred from Beiping as the leader, and the task was still to control and indulge in the activities of the Anqing Gang.

The Anqing Gang is one of the Shandong gang organizations, and in the early days of the fall of Shandong, it was said to be dissipating. Later, in order to anesthetize and win over the Chinese, he began to advocate the revival of various superstitious groups. Under such circumstances, Gongyou of Yuete Yamaguchi hooked up with Qian Baoheng, a disciple of Anqing Daoists, and began to revive and organize the "Anqing Daoyi Association", relying on the Jinan Shipping Association of the puppet China Shipping Association with Qian Baoheng as the president.

Yamaguchi Gongyou was killed in the city of Jinan, but Qian Baoheng escaped by going to Tianjin. After taking office, he seized the opportunity of the disintegration of the Jinan Shipping Association to contact Zha Ruiqing and others to reorganize the "Anqing Daoyi Association", elect Qian Baoheng, appoint the third as the chairman and vice president, and revise the constitution of the association, stipulating that the association will support the "new Chinese regime" and "to reach public opinion, rejuvenate China, cheer up the Anqing Daoists, establish an anti-communist front, and thoroughly unite the Anqing Daoists and friends to achieve the goal of saving the country."

After the establishment of the "Anqing Daoyi Society", Ohashi Kumao ordered Furuya to gradually expand the "Anqing Daoyi Association" to the whole province, establish county branches and pseudo-armed forces, and directly subordinate the South and North Canal Escort Brigades to plunder economic resources, win over Taoists, collect intelligence, and carry out [***] activities. Ohashi Kumao's slogan for Furuya is "Absorb one more Taoist, and reduce the number of people who support [***]."

That's not all, after investigation, Daqiao Xiongxiong found that there are more religious groups in Shandong, and there are more believers, so he set up the "Lihua Mansion" near the "Qianqiu Mansion" on Xiema Road in Jinan, named after the wife of the spy leader Shinichi Rushui, and the task is to carry out spy activities in religious groups, master church affairs, and win over and train pro-Chinese believers.

Considering that there were still a small number of Kuomintang forces in Shandong, Daqiao Xiongxiong gathered 17 Yuehua spies to set up the "Lin Xiang Mansion" at No. 90 Linxiang Street in Jinan, that is, the army's "rebellion work class" to engage in the activities of plotting against the Kuomintang troops and luring them to surrender.

In view of the fact that the main opponents of the Shandong Army were the Eighth Route Army, and that they had to fight not only against the Eighth Route Army, but also for the construction of local grass-roots political power, and that it was imperative to strengthen the collection of the party, government, and military situation, Daqiao Xiongxiong prepared to build the "Luren Mansion" on Jingsan Road and Weisan Road in Jinan, that is, the "Investigation Team for the Communist Party", which belonged to the branch of the "Liutiao Mansion" and the "Huangcheng Office" (i.e., the Comprehensive Investigation Department of the Communist Party) of the North China Front Army in Beiping, and was now under the command of the 12th Army.

After the establishment of the Twelfth Army, Daqiao Xiongxiong took the abbreviation of Shandong Province as "Lu" and the code name of the Twelfth Army "Ren Army" and renamed it "Lu Ren Mansion", and was responsible for the collection and analysis of [***] intelligence, the division and disintegration of [***], and the education of the local garrison about the situation of [***] forces, and the editing and distribution of "guidelines for suppressing the Communist Party" and other materials.

The "Luren Mansion" consists of the first investigation room and the second investigation room, of which the first investigation room is composed of special agents of Yueben, and the second investigation room is composed of Han Jian agents, and sub-offices or working groups are set up in Tai'an, Qingdao, Jinan, Boshan and other places. At the same time, the "Luren Mansion" set up the Jinan "China Youth Association" on Chaoyang Street in Jinan, known as the "Chaoyang Mansion" to the outside world, to lure and win over renegades to act as spies, pretending to be "progressive youths" to defect to the revolution and other means, to infiltrate the base areas to collect intelligence, or in the name of social surveys, to learn about [***] activities and other political and economic conditions, and to comprehensively sort, copy or print and distribute.

These moves are very vicious and very effective. You must know that in history, "Lin Xiang Mansion" was established in 1940, first located in Xuzhou, later moved to Haizhou, and moved to Jinan in 1942. And "Luren Mansion", "Qianqiu Mansion", "Pear Flower Mansion" were only established in 1941, and the old Jinan people mentioned the eight mansions of the spies, and they are still creepy. Now, the four most destructive mansions among the eight mansions of the army have all been freshly released in advance, I really don't know what Liu Yimin thinks after he finds out.

After completing the construction of Jinan's spy system, Daqiao Xiongxiong commanded and supervised the work of various spies. "Qianqiu Mansion" and "Pear Flower Mansion" are not to mention, they are mainly active in the Anqing Gang and the church, and their tasks are relatively fixed. As soon as the "Lin Xiang Mansion" was established, its eyes were fixed on the remnants of the Kuomintang in Shandong, such as Li Wenli and Zhang Jingyue, and began to actively rebel. The "Luren Mansion" is even more hateful, specifically looking for the wounded of the Eighth Route Army and the local armed forces and local cadres of [***], and also luring progressive youths to comprehensively collect intelligence on the base areas. Although they have just been established now, and the results are not great, it is very terrible to continue to develop.

In fact, without Kobayashi Asaburo calling a meeting, Ohashi Kumao was already going to report to him and Odaka Kamizo, because he had received top-secret information.

Sure enough, before Otaka Kamezo announced the meeting, Ohashi Kumao reported, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, I have urgent top-secret information to report to you. ”

Seeing the seriousness of Ohashi Kumao's words, Otaka Kamizo waved his hand to let the military police, the commander, and the puppet police chief go out and stand by, and then asked Ohashi Kumao to report.

Ohashi Xiongxiong said: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to reliable information, the three brigades of Kondo Shu of the 10th and 5th Wing of the 10th Eighth Division of the Imperial Army stationed in Anqiu County were attacking the regiment of the Kuomintang Eighth Prefecture Li Wenli Department in Zhoujiaxiazhuang this evening, when they were suddenly surrounded and attacked by the Eighth Route Army, and the whole brigade was collectively shattered. ”

Ogaka Kamizo and Kobayashi Asaburo exclaimed at the same time, "What did you say? ”

Ohashi Kumao repeated. Then he reported in detail: "According to the report of the agents sent by the Lin Xiang Mansion to the Li Wenli Ministry, the most elite Kaobin regiment of the Li Wenli Department went to the vicinity of Anqiu to prepare for an ambush by a small unit or transport team of the Imperial Army. The division then withdrew to the front line of the Linghe River, intending to return to the mountainous area southwest of Anqiu to join Li Wenli. As a result, Kondo's brigade chased after them, and a battle broke out in the rear guard battalion of Kao Bin's regiment in Zhou's Xiazhuang in Linghe. Kao Binzhi immediately led the main force back to help, but was surrounded by the roundabout troops of Kondo's brigade, and was about to be annihilated. At this time, a force of the Eighth Route Army descended from the sky, surrounded the Kondo Brigade on all sides, and launched an attack with heavy artillery and machine-gun fire. The Kondo Brigade was all shattered in a very short period of time. Later, only more than 20 members of Kao Bin's regiment returned to the Li Wenli Department to report, and the other more than 200 soldiers and lightly and seriously wounded all went to the Eighth Route Army with the seriously injured Kao Binzhi. This information was absolutely accurate, and our agents rode fast horses to the battlefield to check the remains of Imperial Army soldiers and the corpses of soldiers of a battalion of the Shandong Garrison who had accompanied Kondo's brigade. If the commander does not believe it, he can send planes to reconnoiter early tomorrow morning. ”

After Ohashi Kumao finished speaking, Otaka Kamizo and Kobayashi Asaburo were both so shocked that they sat on the chairs and couldn't speak for a long time.

After a while, Kobayashi Asaburo came back to his senses and said slowly: "Your Excellency Commander, I request that this situation be immediately reported to the 10th Eighth Division, and Lieutenant General Shimoto Kumaya still thinks that the Kondo Brigade has achieved a great victory!" ”

At this time, Ozaka Kamizo was no longer blindly arbitrary, and he no longer thought that he was Han Xin, revealing his true colors as a senior general of the Yue Army: "Xiaolin-kun, according to this information, eighty percent of Anqiu City has fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army. You go and call Lieutenant General Xiong Mi of Xia Yuan, and order this stupid and old pig to order the captain of the 10th Fifth Wing to talk directly to the officers who stayed behind and reinforced Anqiu, or ask the officers of the department to send a report with a special password to find out whether Anqiu City has fallen or not. ”

Kobayashi Asaburo was no longer calm, and dense beads of sweat had begun to appear on his forehead, and when he heard this, he immediately got up and was about to make a phone call.

Otaka Kamezo was very calm at this time, and then said: "Kobayashi-kun, send a report to the headquarters of the North China Army and the headquarters of the Central China Front, truthfully report what happened here, and ask General Shun Hata and Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbe to give guidance. ”

(To be continued)
