Since Naosaburo Okabe competed with Terauchi Shouichi and Tada Jun to see who is more durable, his relationship with Terauchi Shouichi has gone further, and it is easier to stand in Terauchi Shouichi's perspective and consciously take responsibility for him when considering problems.

After recording this order, Gangbu Naosaburo felt that Terauchi Shouichi was still a little conservative, so he proposed that Liu Yiming had just fought in the Hebei and Lu borders, and the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the southern Lu, southwestern, southeastern, and western Taixi regions would inevitably be empty. Especially in the eastern Ludong region, the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the two special cities of Qingdao and Weihai must also be very empty. Since he wants to fight, he will fight hard, Liu Yimin can sneak attack and set up an ambush, is the imperial army still afraid of him? It is suggested that the commander consider it, appropriately revise the original battle plan, light fires everywhere, and completely roast the Shandong Eighth Route Army on the stove, and roast it thoroughly.

Gangbu Naosaburo said this, in fact, it is in line with the mind of Shouichi in the temple, this old devil is now on the fire, Naosaburo Gangbu is equivalent to pouring another scoop of oil on the fire, and the flame in Shouichi Terauchi's heart jumped up in a hula when he landed.

Terauchi Shouichi pondered for a moment, and immediately said: "Gangbe-kun, revise the order, the southern line group commanded by Lieutenant General Tada Jun will leave the 106th Division and the 116th Division to stick to the Xuzhou line to ensure that the Tuba Road in Shandong cannot escape to the south. They were asked to send more small units of reconnaissance troops to carefully reconnoiter on both sides of the Jinpu Line and the Longhai Line, strictly prevent the Eighth Route Army from sneaking attacks, and the defense line should be connected with the Yudong Group, and no gaps should be left behind. Lieutenant General Tada Jun commanded the 3rd, 9th, 13th, 15th, and 17th divisions to immediately launch a campaign to clear and suppress the mountainous areas of southern Lunan, central and southern Lu, and southeastern Shandong. The 114th Division stationed in Yanzhou handed over the defensive line to the 34th Division and cooperated with the Tatian Jun Group to launch a surprise attack on the mountainous area of central and southern Shandong. I judged that Liu Yimin's nest was in this Yimeng Mountains, and told Tatian Jun that if Liu Yimin could come to ambush our 10th Division, we would be able to dig out his nest. The troops must move quickly, and let Kinoshita Toshi mobilize the fighters of Xuzhou Airport and the carrier-based aircraft of the Combined Fleet to cooperate with the operation, and it is imperative to calm the Tubalu forces in the Yimeng Mountains in one fell swoop. ”

Okabe Naosaburo also suggested: "Your Excellency, Commander, our army now has sufficient troops, and it is completely possible to strengthen the offensive force. The 32nd Division stationed in Cangxian, the 7th Brigade of Reading Li Mixed Formation stationed in Dexian County, and the 33rd Division from Dexian to Jinan could completely adopt the tactics of active defense and advance the defensive line to the Jizhong and Luxi regions. The divisions and regiments of the Pinghan Line can also advance their defensive lines in the direction of central and southern Hebei, and in particular, the first brigade and regiment stationed in Handan are mixed into the first brigade, which has strong combat effectiveness, and in cooperation with the four permanent divisions and regiments, it is completely possible to be stationed in the central area of the Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei to make long-term combat preparations. Luxi, Jizhong, Southwest Lu, Taixi, Luzhong, and Central and Southern Lu all need to keep garrison divisions in the central areas and command the security forces to repeatedly sweep the surrounding areas. Like the 35th Division, it has now become a frightened bird and can no longer undertake the task of attacking. It is better for us to quickly replenish them directly from the spare weapons and equipment, and let them garrison the areas of Huimin, Yangxin, and Binxian, and command the North China Public Security Army to control the Jilu border. In this way, after the end of our assault group, the Manchurian Defense Forces and the North China Public Security Army will be stationed for a long time under the command of the garrison division and the mixed brigade, and the Tuba Road will not be able to establish an open political power as before, so that public order can be completely restored in central Hebei, southern Hebei, Hebei, Lubian, and western Hebei. ”

After thinking about it, Gangbe Naosaburo continued: "In the direction of Ludong, the marines carried by the combined fleet have long been waiting for them, and they should be ordered to quickly capture Weihai and Qingdao to attract Liu Yiming's attention. As long as Qingdao and Weihai are controlled, local supplies can be continuously transported to Shandong. It is even possible to mobilize more expatriates from the mainland to come to Shandong to reclaim and arm the expatriates to assist the imperial army in controlling the occupied areas. I figured it out, Liu Yimin is different from ordinary Chinese generals, he seems to pay attention to protecting the city's buildings and never destroying them. Although he has done so many tricks in Qingdao and delayed our time to recover Qingdao, his purpose is very clear, that is, to plunder Qingdao's resources. In fact, he did not want to fight in Qingdao, just like he did last time in Tianjin. The Marines will not encounter much difficulty in recovering Qingdao and Weihai. Even if there are difficulties, let the people at home see that not only our army has suffered defeats, but the navy is not much better. This way, we will also be a little less stressed. ”

Terauchi Shouichi saw that Naosaburo Okabe said so much in one breath, all of them were planned for him, and he was moved in his heart, so he walked over and patted Naosaburo Okabe on the shoulder and said Yo Xi. After speaking, he took Naosaburo Gangbe's hand and walked to the map, pondering the map repeatedly.

In the end, the two old devils finally carefully scrutinized the battle plan again, and formed a new consensus, that is, the intention of annihilating the main force of Liu Yimin's instructor in this battle will never waver, and now it is necessary to comprehensively squeeze the living space of the Eighth Route Army, gradually compress the Eighth Route Army from central Hebei, southern Hebei, Hebei and Luxi, to the hinterland of Shandong, let the Eighth Route Army leave the rich plains, leave the lines of communication, squeeze them all into the mountains, and then encircle them on all sides, build roads, build pillboxes, and adopt the method of Chiang Kai-shek encircling and suppressing the Jiangxi Soviet region. Trap Tubalu in the mountains, let them have no food, no medicine, no shells, and slowly consume them.

Based on this overall operational thinking, the two old devils adjusted their operational plans.

First, the 110th Division and the Fifth Brigade of the Reading Force Mixed Brigade will have the same mission of garrisoning Pingjin, but it is necessary to intensify the sweep of the surrounding areas of Pingjin, especially the areas of Pingbei and Pingxi, and to carry out repeated sweeps, and troops stationed in Zhangjiakou can be dispatched to cooperate, and the safety of the Pingjin area must be ensured. Lieutenant General Sangmu Chongming, commander of the 110th Division, concurrently served as the commander of the Pingjin garrison and commanded the troops in the Pingjin area in a unified manner.

Second, the first phase of the Jizhong assault battle has ended, and the 40th Division is left to command the Manchurian Defense Forces to control Jizhong with the cooperation of the troops of the Jinpu Line and the Pinghan Line. Lieutenant General Naojiro Amaya, commander of the 40th Division, concurrently served as the commander of the Jizhong garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Suning.

The third is to leave the 23rd Division to defend the Deshi line, and the 1st, 7th, and 24th Divisions of the concentrated assault group will be quickly transferred to the Jilu border, and cooperate with the Okamura Ningji Group to find and annihilate Liu Yiming's cooking force, and the Fourth Fleet of the Navy will advance westward in the starry night to block the Yellow River. If Liu Yiming escaped and returned to Luzhong, the 24th Division would be left to command the North China Public Security Army to control the Hebei and Lubian areas. Lieutenant General Heiyan Yoshikatsu, commander of the 24th Division, served as the commander of the Jilu border garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Qingyun County. The garrison commander should do a good job in the defense of the Yellow River and strictly prevent Liu Yiming from smuggling the Yellow River again and raiding the Jilu border. At the same time, the 35th Division was allocated from the warehouse of the North China Front Army in Peiping to the 35th Division to be fully equipped with equipment, and the shortage of soldiers was quickly replenished from China and transported to Tianjin. The 35th Division temporarily stayed in the Hebei-Shandong border area for training.

Fourth, after the end of the battle on the Jilu border, the southward group of the Kwantung Army quickly moved southward and cooperated with the southern Hebei assault corps to completely sweep southern Hebei. After the pacification of southern Hebei, the 41st Division and the first brigade of the Reading Force were left to command the first section of the Manchurian National Defense Army, and served as the garrison of southern Hebei. The commander of the 41st Division, Lieutenant General Tiandao Shengwu, served as the commander of the southern Hebei garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Julu.

Fifth, after the pacification of southern Hebei, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbu commanded a total of eight divisions and regiments of the first, second, fifth, sixth, seventh, fourteenth, sixteenth, and twenty-third divisions to assault Luxi, and after succeeding, the 23rd Division was left to command the first section of the North China Public Security Army to garrison Luxi, and the commander of the 23rd Division, Lieutenant General Michitaro Komatsubara, served as the commander of the Luxi garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Liaocheng.

Sixth, after pacifying Luxi, the general trend of the North China Plain has been decided, and the attack group led by Lieutenant General Naosaburo Gangbu directly crossed the river and marched eastward, with the cooperation of the 34th Division and the 13th Brigade of Reading Mixed Brigade, which defended the Jinan-Tai'an section of the Jinpu Road, to quickly sweep the Taixi area, and after completing the task, the 34th Division was stationed in Tai'an and still served as the defense of the Jinpu Road. The 13th Division was stationed in the Taixi area, and the brigade commander, Major General Morita Masaho, served as the commander of the garrison in the Taixi area, and the headquarters was stationed in Dongping County.

7. The Southern Front Group under the command of Lieutenant General Tada Jun left the 10th and 116th Divisions to hold the Xuzhou line, and the defense line was connected with the Hendong Group to strictly prevent the Eighth Route Army from fleeing southward. The eastern Henan group contracted the defensive line and transferred the 38th Division back to defend southwest Lu, and the commander of the 38th Division, Lieutenant General Yoji Fujii, was appointed commander of the garrison in southwest Lu, and the headquarters was stationed in Heze.

8. After the end of the fighting in the southwestern and western regions of Shandong, Tada Jun led the southern front attack group and Gangbu Naosaburo led the central line attack group to attack from two sides, completely sweeping the mountainous areas of central and southern Shandong and the southeastern Shandong region. At this time, the 35th Division had already completed the reorganization and redeployment and was transferred to the southeastern part of Shandong. Lieutenant General Maeda Osamu Maeda, commander of the 35th Division, was appointed commander of the garrison in southeastern Shandong, and his headquarters was stationed in Linyi. The 34th Division was stationed in the Taiyi Mountains, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Guan Guizhi, was the commander of the Taiyi garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Tai'an. The 114th Division was assigned the task of garrisoning Lunan Province, and the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Shigeharu Suematsu, was appointed commander of the Lunan garrison, and the headquarters still lived in Yanzhou.

9. After completing the task of sweeping the mountainous areas in central and southern Shandong, the commander of the Second Army, Lieutenant General Dongjuergong Tsuyan Wang, commanded the 108th Division and the 33rd Division, and transferred one of the defenders of the Jizhong, Southern Hebei, Hebei-Lubian and Pinghan lines to form a northern line group, and cooperated with the two attack groups of Gangbu Naosaburo and Tada Jun, all of which pressed towards Luzhong and Ludong, forcing Liu Yiming to fight a decisive battle and completely annihilate Liu Yimin's troops in Luzhong or Ludong. The minimum goal of the campaign was to open up the Jiaoji Road and restore the law and order situation on the Jiaoji Road and Jinpu Road. After sweeping Luzhong and Ludong, the Qingdao garrison was formed, which was organized according to the scale of the division and regiment and stationed in Ludong. The 33rd Division was transferred to Luzhong, and the division commander, Lieutenant General Gan Ji Shigetaro, was appointed commander of the Luzhong garrison, and the headquarters was stationed in Weixian.

10. The Combined Fleet will cover the Marines in launching a landing operation and capture Qingdao and Weihai, but will not attack westward, but will simply hold on to Qingdao and Weihai, contain the Eighth Route Army, and cover the actions of the attack groups.

11. The task of each garrison area is to rapidly organize local political power, build up a public security force, support local security regiments and self-defense forces, set up a security regiment in every county, and have a self-defense unit in every district and village, establish a public security organization, strictly guard against stubborn defense, and make sure that the Eighth Route Army has no opportunity to take advantage of it and completely eliminate the forces of the Eighth Route Army. Among them, Shandong, with officers at all levels of the Manchurian National Defense Force as the backbone, has pulled up 50,000 to 150,000 Shandong Public Security Army, which is subordinate to the North China Public Security Army. In Hebei, the North China Public Security Army was mainly expanded, and the North China Public Security Army was expanded to 150,000. The enlarged security forces are under the command of the garrison districts, undertake local garrison tasks, and free up the main divisions and regiments for strategic operations.

As for the expansion of so many puppet armies, which will inevitably lead to uneven quality and low combat effectiveness, the views of the two old devils are highly consistent, that is, to compete with the Eighth Route Army for the source of troops, and now many people have no food, put up recruitment flags, voluntarily or forced, gather those young and middle-aged people who are suitable for being soldiers, at least they can repair fortifications, and if they can't do it, they will be sent to Manchuria or said to be laborers, anyway, they can't be allowed to join the Eighth Route Army or be a militia.

Of course, Terauchi Shouichi and Okabe Naosaburo fully considered the combat effectiveness and flexible strategy and tactics of Liu Yimin's troops, and took into account that the various encirclements and suppressions were likely to be empty. But the two old devils formed a consensus, if Liu Yiming's cooking force could not be eliminated on the Jilu border, causing Liu Yiming to flee back to Luzhong, then let the 24th Division on the Jilu border command the North China Public Security Army to build the Yellow River defense line, cooperate with the naval fleet, and block the passage for Liu Yiming's cooking force to cross the river and return to the Hebei and Lu borders. If Liu Yiming's cooking force could not be eliminated in Luzhong, he would be forced to enter the mountainous areas, and various garrison divisions and regiments, the North China Public Security Army, and the Manchurian National Defense Army would be mobilized to besiege the Taiyi Mountains on all sides, and the main force would be interspersed with suppression. In case Liu Yimin's troops cannot escape the Sulu-Anhui-Henan region, it doesn't matter, it is a large plain, which is more suitable for the large army to intersperse with detours and maneuver in a large area. At the very least, it can restore law and order in North China and create a stable rear for the army.

After discussing it, the two men believed that this combat plan was more delicate and feasible than the original combat plan, which took into account both offense and defense.

Not to mention, the plan made by these two old devils is really vicious, if they are successfully realized, this North China Plain will completely become a fallen area, and there will be a scene after the May Day sweep in history.

After asking Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe to draft the battle plan, issue combat orders, and report to the base camp, Terauchi Shouichi relaxed, returned to the bedroom, asked Masako to wait for him to take a shower, and went to bed with Masako in his arms.

This woman is just weird. Miss Masako was occupied by Terauchi Shouichi, and at the beginning, she wanted to cut Terauchi Shou with a thousand knives. After a long time, Masako's mind changed strangely, she accepted her fate, stopped crying, and was completely obedient to Shouichi Terauchi. Slowly, Masako also adapted to the life of being flattered, and even regarded herself as the hostess of the North China Front Headquarters, and began to take good care of the life of Shouichi Terauchi.

When the war is calm, Masako will dress up, put on a kimono, carry a flower umbrella, and ask Terauchi Shouichi to accompany her out to play.

There are many temples in Beiping, and Masako feels that her fate is bumpy, so she often asks Shouichi in the temple to accompany her to the temple to burn incense. After coming and going, Masako forgot that Terauchi Shouichi was his father's classmate and his uncle, and he hallucinated in his heart, feeling that Terauchi Shouichi was the Prince Charming of his dreams, and he was a prince charming who was powerful and decisive. Therefore, when burning incense in the temple, Masako often prays for the blessing of the Buddha, bless the longevity of the temple's longevity, never return to the book, never go to reunite with the temple countess, and only guard her and love her alone.

There was a time when Masako also felt that she had become bad and as shameless as the old thing. But on second thought, it's fate. I shouldn't have come to China, and if I come to China, there will be no good results. It's just that Shouichi Terauchi doesn't bully himself, what can he do? If you really want to go to the field army, whether you are a medical soldier or a signal soldier, I am afraid that in addition to work, you will have to suffer insults from those officers and soldiers. If you are sent to a comfort station and have to be ravaged by dozens or even hundreds of men every day, you will really become a comfort woman with thousands of people riding on thousands of pillows. I can't even imagine that kind of fate!

Shouyi Terauchi hugged her to bed, and Masako knew that the old thing was scratching again. She's willing, though. What kind of goods Shouichi Terauchi is, she knows best. This old pervert, as long as he is in a good mood, will have bad thoughts, and those shameless guys keep looking for women for him, and the roots of Yazi's teeth are sour.

Now Masako has figured it out, since Terauchi Shouichi is obsessed with his body, then he has to use his body to tempt him and fascinate him, maybe one day he can become the Countess of Terauchi, that is rich, powerful, status, and status, that woman doesn't want it?

After lying on the bed, Masako put on what she thought was the most seductive pose, looking at Terauchi Shouichi with affection in her eyes, her small tongue occasionally sticking out to add small lips, twisting her body from time to time, and bursts of slow breathing in her nose, trying her best to seduce Terauchi.

After Terauchi Shouyi put Masako on the bed, he was still thinking about whether to go and see if Naosaburo Okabe had given the battle order again, and then come back to enjoy this stunner. As soon as I saw Masako's appearance, where would I think about the matter of Naosaburo Gangbu again, the thing under the crotch that was still weak suddenly became excited, and the throat was hot and urgently needed saliva to moisturize, so I pounced on it excitedly.

It may be that the blow encountered today is too heavy, and Terauchi Shouichi has been stimulated physically and psychologically, and he regards Masako as an opponent, and gallops wantonly after entering, making Miss Masako moan and cry one by one, which stimulates Terauchi Shouichi to become more and more wild, and only feels that the sulking of the day has been swept away.

After all, Shouichi Terauchi is a bit old, and he has enough energy to spare. was originally ambitious, wanting to gallop to the end of the world; As a result, old age and weakness, the dragon hated the shallow water. In three or five minutes, Shouichi Terauchi was like a mouthful, lying down on Masako's white chest and gasping for breath.

Masako is having fun, but Shouichi Terauchi is weak. The silky Masako seduced in a coquettish voice: "Your Excellency Commander, come, come again, the beautiful Masako is waiting for you to conquer!" While speaking, he used his small hand to play with the things under the crotch of Terauchi Shouyi, but Terauchi Shouyi was old, and let Masako use his small hand to soothe or serve with a fragrant tongue, Terauchi Shouichi didn't work. Angry, Miss Masako pushed Shouichi Terauchi off her body and went to rinse herself.

Watching Masako walk naked and curly Nana to the bath room, Shouichi Terauchi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and sighed in his heart if he was old. But after thinking about it, why did I feel a flutter in my heart when I saw the two aviation operators brought by Lieutenant General Kinoshita Toshita today? Isn't it because I'm old, but because I'm tired of Masako? It seems that this guy Kinoshita has to hurry up and send those two beauties in military uniforms to check if he can regain his strength.

Shouichi Terauchi no longer waited for Masako to take a bath, got up and put on his clothes, and went into the office again.

After sending the telegram, Lieutenant General Naosaburo Okabe came to report to Terauchi Shouichi that the order had been issued to all units. The Fourth Fleet, a Chinese fleet, has already begun to anchor and sail in the direction of the mouth of the Yellow River. However, they said that the distance was too far, and by the time they arrived, I was afraid that the pontoon bridge of the Eighth Route Army had already been built, and the people had already slipped away. But they were confident that they would be able to block the river when they arrived.

Terauchi Shou nodded a little and asked Lieutenant General Tada if he had any other suggestions?

Okabe Naosaburo handed over Tada's telegram, and Terauchi Toshiichi took a look at it, and Tadajun completely agreed with the adjusted battle plan, saying that he would prepare tonight and launch an attack on southwest Lu early tomorrow morning. However, Tada Jun made a suggestion, which was also the original suggestion made by Naosaburo Gangbe, that is, the troops of Jinpu Road, Pinghan Road, Zhengtai Road, and Tongpu Road should not be passively defensive, and should carry out defensive operations with an active offensive posture, so as to create a situation in which the whole of North China is fighting hard, so that the Eighth Route Army will feel that the end is coming, and a sense of fear will arise psychologically, which will lead to their strategic judgment mistakes, and they will respond to each other, unable to echo each other, and finally be annihilated by each other. In this way, it can also deter Chiang Kai-shek's political axe army, so that they can understand that the retaliation of the imperial army is very terrible, so that they do not dare to fish in troubled waters and attack the imperial army while the main force of the imperial army is fighting with the Eighth Route Army.

This question was raised by Naosaburo Okabe, and Tada Jun brought it up again, and Terauchi Shouichi couldn't help but think about it seriously. Thinking about it, Terauchi Shouichi told Naosaburo Okabe to draw up a detailed battle plan for the defenders on each line of communication to execute. However, it must be emphasized that their main task was to defend the railway line and strictly prevent the Eighth Route Army from breaking through. As a result, their offensive operations had to be carried out on both sides of the lines of communication, and they had to leave enough defending troops to spare.

Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji's suggestion once again caught the attention of Shouichi Terauchi. Lieutenant General Okamura Ninji believes that the North China Plain is the back garden of the imperial army, as well as the supply base of the imperial army's baggage and heavy loads, and is the granary. Now that we are between summer harvest and summer planting, the imperial army should take a long-term view, build the North China Plain like Manchuria, and compete with the Eighth Route Army for the hearts and minds of the people. In addition to exterminating those Tubalu guerrillas and [***] elements, we should strictly enforce combat discipline and not massacre civilians, so that the common people can really see the benefits of cooperating with the imperial army. In this way, after the assault corps, the security forces will be able to truly gain a foothold in the North China Plain and smoothly organize local political power and armed forces at all levels that are loyal to the Great Yueben Empire.

Shouichi Terauchi was originally a famous general in the military and politics, and Okamura Ninji's reminder moved him at once. He picked up the pen and wrote a supplementary order on military discipline in a short time, mainly saying that in order to ensure the restoration of law and order in North China, the occupied areas should be built into a royal paradise, and it was strictly forbidden to massacre civilians, burn villages, and forcibly annihilate women. All garrison districts should actively look for people who are willing to cooperate with the imperial army, set up maintenance committees at all levels as soon as possible, recruit young and middle-aged people who are willing to join the security army to join the army, and collect food and grass for the imperial army through maintenance committees as much as possible.

Of course, whether it is Terauchi Shouichi or Okamura Ninji, their thoughts are the same, that is, one hand is hard and the other is soft, military brutal sweeping, political division and disintegration of the people's will to resist, and strive to separate the people from the Eighth Route Army, and eradicate the soil for the survival of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Terauchi Shouichi stressed in his order that the local political cadres and local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army must be eradicated, and the common people who sympathize with and support the Eighth Route Army must be resolutely punished according to the crime of complicity, and the evil must be eradicated. With regard to the central base areas of the Eighth Route Army, we must rob them of their grain and livestock, and arrest all the backbone elements. Let them know that going against the Imperial Army will never end well.

After writing the order, Terauchi Shouichi asked Naosaburo Gangbe to find Kita Seiichi and asked him to secretly spread the news through the channels of the secret service, saying that the imperial army was about to mobilize a large army to attack Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and encircle and annihilate the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's first theater. The current military operations of the imperial army in North China are actually aimed at covering the actions of the imperial army in Henan. The eastern Henan group was a decoy thrown by the imperial army, the purpose of which was to induce the main force of Chiang Kai-shek's First Theater to gather forces to attack, so as to gather and annihilate it. At present, the 10 newly transferred divisions of the imperial army are rushing to Lianyungang, among them, the 10th and 5th Divisions of the Motorized Division, which was formed mainly by non-commissioned officers of various military schools, have landed in Lianyungang, and it is said that the empire will devote all its strength to conquer China, wipe out the resistance forces north of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, and force Chiang Kai-shek to surrender.

After hearing this, Okabe Naosaburo's eyes lit up, and he said bluntly, His Excellency the commander has a clever plan, and this move can definitely break up all of Chiang Kai-shek's adventurous attempts.

Terauchi Shouichi was triumphant, and handed over to Naosaburo Gangbu, ordering the First Army to send more planes to reconnoiter the Nakajo Mountain area, at least five or six sorties a day. It is also necessary to send more small infiltration troops to carry out infiltration and reconnaissance in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and bribe more ordinary people to lead the way and provide intelligence to the imperial army. It is necessary to make Wei Lihuang of Zhongtiao Mountain feel the pressure of an imminent war, so that they will not dare to act rashly in Zhongtiao Mountain. Sending personnel to contact Yan Xishan, wooing Yan Xishan, and asking him to cooperate with the imperial army, can promise heavy benefits, so that this local emperor has illusions, and does not dare and cannot cooperate with the Eighth Route Army and Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army to fight.

After giving an explanation to Naosaburo Gangbu, Terauchi Shouichi sent a telegram to the commander of the Central China Front, General Shunroku Hatata, asking him to organize a feint on the Yangtze River to contain Chiang Kai-shek's main force and cooperate with the actions of the North China Front.

After doing all this, Shouichi Terauchi stretched his waist again, and Shi Shiran went back to the bedroom to renew his spring dream.

(To be continued)
