As a soldier from later generations, He Zhengdao is well aware of the importance of intelligence. www.biquge.info Even though the current intelligence reconnaissance methods are very simple, He Zhengdao still believes that whoever controls the initiative in intelligence will be able to outperform others on the battlefield.

In order to deal with the upcoming Henan Campaign, the intelligence reconnaissance teams of various units of the Eighth Route Army are also collecting military intelligence from the Japanese army and the Central Army. Even the underground party organizations in various places are also busy with this matter.

As the leader of this campaign, He Zhengdao dispatched a part of the detachment from the reconnaissance brigade that was good at intelligence reconnaissance very early on, and sent them to the cities where the Japanese army was stationed to conduct military intelligence reconnaissance, paying attention to the movement of Japanese troops in these cities.

However, Shangqiu was a guerrilla area bordering the 117th Division and the Independent Column, and the Eighth Route Army actually did not have many troops deployed there. Even if the 117th Division had an independent third regiment there, He Zhengdao knew that their intelligence capabilities were not strong.

Similar to the intelligence collection work of radio monitoring and telephone monitoring, there are very few troops in the Eighth Route Army today. If you want to listen to the phone calls of the Japanese army, you must be able to understand what the Japanese soldiers are communicating on the phone, right?

At present, among the Eighth Route Army, the unit that can understand the most Japanese is undoubtedly the independent column led by He Zhengdao. In the Saber Special Operations Team and the Reconnaissance Brigade, there are also a large number of soldiers who can converse in Japanese.

In this case, as long as the telephone line planted by the Japanese army was found, the soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment could eavesdrop on some information transmitted by the Japanese army through the telephone line. Radio monitoring, on the other hand, requires a higher level of technology.

No matter what, even if He Zhengdao is in Shandong, the intelligence reconnaissance team responsible for battlefield intelligence collection will still send a telegram to He Zhengdao. As for how to analyze and judge, it is a matter of He Zhengdao.

Such intelligence materials will also be transmitted to the staff headquarters of the new 67th Army. After the military department collects the intelligence, the analyzed information will be reported to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army for the headquarters to analyze the intelligence and make corresponding arrangements.

What happened in Shangqiu City at the moment quickly gave He Zhengdao a hint. That is, the commander in charge of the 14th Division must have arrived at the Shangqiu front. It would not be long before the Japanese army attacked.

After listening to He Zhengdao's analysis, Zeng Zhongsheng quickly said: "Communicator, go and invite the division commander and the chief of staff, there is an important situation. ”

'Yes, Commissar! ’

The communicator hurriedly ran out to invite Xu Xiangqian and others, He Zhengdao didn't say anything, and said in a timely manner: "Xu Hao, send this information back to the headquarters in an encrypted way, and also send a report to the intelligence team in Shangqiu, and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army."

At the same time, send electricity to the chief of staff and the reconnaissance brigade so that they are ready to go to the front at any time. From an immediate point onwards, the troops began to construct fortifications along the previously demarcated blocking defense zone, and their actions were kept as secret as possible.

In addition, I would like to tell Director Luo that earlier I promised to give the 3rd Independent Regiment and the 1st Column of the 117th Division weapons and organize people to send them over as soon as possible. If it is expected to be good, I am afraid that the little devil will make a big move in the near future. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

It didn't take long for Xu Xiangqian and the chief of staff of the 117th Division to arrive at the courtyard where Zeng Zhongsheng was located. After listening to Zeng Zhongsheng's words, Xu Xiangqian also said with a solemn expression: "Righteous way, what do you think the little devil will do next?" ”

Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao smiled bitterly: "I really can't judge this!" What I can confirm is that the little devil will definitely make a big move in the near future. If they want to go on the offensive, they must ensure stability in the rear.

If my previous judgment was right, that old devil in Tufeiyuan should have already arrived in Shangqiu. He is a Huaxia expert, and he worked in the special high school of the Japanese army in his early years, so he should know that we still have a lot of armed forces behind enemy lines in Shangqiu.

If the main attack task is undertaken by the 14th Division, then the supply line from Xuzhou to Shangqiu must be the most concerned by Tufeiyuan. Our troops operating along the line are bound to become his primary targets.

And what worries me the most is that this Tu Feiyuan is from an intelligence background, and he must have collected a lot of information about our local guerrillas before launching the encirclement and suppression. Once you do it, the attack must be quite powerful.

For this reason, I feel that it is necessary to inform our local partisan forces from now on and prepare for defense. In addition, if possible, begin to transfer some of the population from vulnerable areas and establish some defensive and blocking positions.

I had previously telegraphed the Reconnaissance Brigade operating near Voryang to deliver a batch of mines to your troops today. I also told Li Xiangdong to send some scouts to prepare for defensive operations with you. ”

After listening to He Zhengdao's words, Xu Xiangqian also said with a little relief: "Okay, thank you!" Lao Wang, send a telegram to the 3rd Independent Regiment, ordering them to start gathering troops now. The county brigades and district teams are all stationed in the villages to prepare for emergencies.

At the same time, I must pay close attention to the activities of the Japanese strongholds in various counties, and I must keep an eye on the troop movements of the little devils. This time, the little devils launched a sweep, presumably there will be no less troops dispatched, and they are warned to be cautious. ”

'Yes, Commander! ’

He Zhengdao, who was standing on the side, said in a timely manner: "Old chief, I will interject more, and I must be vigilant against the air raids of the little devils!" If Tu Fei Yuan had really collected information about some of our guerrilla areas and fortress villages before the operation, he might have sent planes to bomb them.

At this time, the best thing to do is to order our troops operating in the guerrilla zone to start monitoring and investigating strangers who enter the village and the guerrilla zone. In doing so, it can effectively reduce the number of little devils sending people to implement ground guidance. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xu Xiangqian also realized that this was really possible. Immediately said: "Lao Wang, together with Commander He's suggestion, send a telegram to our troops in front. At the same time, send a telegram to the first column and ask them to send a regiment to Shangqiu.

Anyway, they were going to receive weapons, and this regiment also stopped by to support the 3rd Independent Regiment. In addition, our troops in the vicinity of Heze are also in a state of combat readiness, and they are careful of the sweeping operations launched by the Japanese army at any time. ”

'Yes! ’

Even at this time, the little devil didn't make any moves. But recently, the Japanese army has retreated to defense, which still makes Xu Xiangqian and others see that this is somewhat of a quiet taste before the storm.

Now thinking about He Zhengdao's analysis, this is not a conspiracy of the little devils to deliberately shrink their defenses and hope to fish out the guerrillas operating nearby. If that's the case, you'll really need to be careful with the next sweep!

Just when He Zhengdao and the division leaders of the 117th Division discussed and analyzed what the Japanese army would do next. Xu Hao, who came back from sending the telegram, made a secret gesture towards He Zhengdao, as if there was an important intelligence report.

Seeing this action, He Zhengdao walked out apologetically, after listening to Xu Hao explain the situation. He Zhengdao said with a somewhat serious expression: "Our people didn't act, right?" ”

'Nope! The other party's radio station only turned on for a few minutes and then stopped! But the monitoring team was able to confirm that the radio signal was coming from that village. In order to avoid misunderstanding, our people did not enter the village. ’

'Okay, I know that!' Let the guard battalion send someone to monitor this village, and I will discuss it with Senior Commander Xu and them later, and then consider how to act. There should be little action today, so let's continue to have a good rest. ’

'Yes, Commander! ’

Returning to the operational headquarters of the 117th Division, Zeng Zhongsheng said with a little curiosity: "Righteous path, is there anything new?" ”

'Nope! Let's deal with this first, and we'll talk about the rest later! ’

Although He Zhengdao did not explain the situation very directly, Zeng Zhongsheng and Xu Xiangqian both knew that Xu Hao had not reported the situation in front of them before, but they were afraid that there must be something inconvenient.

Wait until the 117th Division formulates the corresponding defensive counterattack plan and releases it through the radio as soon as possible. He Zhengdao said in a timely manner: "Old chief, how many radio stations are active around your division headquarters?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiangqian was stunned and said: "Most of the radio stations in the division headquarters are concentrated here. The nearest radio station to here is supposed to be the radio of the Guard Corps. The station of the guard regiment, in this place! ”

Although he didn't quite understand why He Zhengdao asked such a thing, Xu Xiangqian quickly pointed out the location of the guard regiment's station. Looking at this location, He Zhengdao knew that the monitored radio station was not from the guard regiment.

After thinking for a while, he said, "This Lijiazhuang should be our fortress village, right?" ”

'Yes! Originally, there were only a dozen families there, but when the Yellow River burst its banks, many people moved from Henan. In that village, we also formed a militia squad with more than 30 people.

Because it is relatively close to the division headquarters, plus there is a village that enters the division headquarters. In normal times, our guard regiment will also move to the past and station from time to time. What's wrong? There is a problem with this village! ’

'The telegraph team of the guard battalion that I brought with me detected unfamiliar radio waves moving in this village. By the time I arrived, the radio had ceased to be active. But it can be confirmed that there is a radio station active in this village. ’

A very calm sentence, but Xu Xiangqian and the others were scared into a cold sweat and said: "Righteous way, can you confirm it?" ”

'Yes! Along the way, my telegraph team has already dialed out three enemy radio stations with the help of a radio monitor. When I came here yesterday, I also made a point of telling the guard battalion to do a good job of monitoring.

This radio station suddenly sent out an radio signal in the early hours of this morning, but it was detected by the telecommunications team. Following the radio signal, they quickly locked on to this Li Jiazhuang. And in this direction, there is only this one village, right? ’

Although they didn't quite understand what the monitor He Zhengdao was talking about, they all knew it. In the village next to the division headquarters, what does it mean to suddenly appear a radio station.

This shows that unwittingly, the little devils or other enemies have built intelligence organizations under their noses. This also means that some of the information in their division headquarters is afraid that it will also be leaked out unknowingly.

So what kind of information did the radio station that suddenly started in the morning send out? (To be continued.) )
