Chapter 745: Spy
In the combat conference room, what Feng Guozhang put forward was just a very brief plan, basically only an approximation, and there were still many places that needed to be improved and supplemented.
In the next week or so, what Feng Guozhang and the staff officers in the headquarters did was to try every means to make this plan perfect. As for the commanders of the various units? Naturally, he returned to his troops early!
Although the Japanese side has taken the initiative to break away from the National Defense Army, compared with the fierce battles in the past, the banks of the Yalu River are now a little more peacefulββββββ of course, but in comparison, after all, there are no big ones, and there are still small conflicts!
But in such a situation, who can guarantee that the Japanese will not launch a surprise attack? Although this possibility may seem unlikely, Dandong was also taken by the Japanese for this reason, wasn't it? Seeing that the plan had begun to be formulated, Feng Guozhang naturally did not want to let the Japanese disrupt it, and in the case that the leaders of each unit were gathered in Shenyang, those troops on the front line could be said to be leaderless, if this situation was discovered by the Japanese, the temptation for them would be too great...
On the other hand, the troops on the front line are also constantly mobilized, and although the plan has not yet been thoroughly perfected, the general direction has been determined. At the same time, some reconnaissance units have also begun to penetrate deep into the territory of the DPRK, especially the special reconnaissance of the location that does not even have a name. It turned out that the intelligence of the secret service was correct, although this location was important, but the Japanese were guarding against it here...
How to say that? It can't be said to be weak, after all, the Japanese are not all idiots. But compared to other equally important places, the precautions here are much worse, and this. gave Feng Guozhang an opportunity to take advantage of...
Soon, near the Jiangjie, Feng Guozhang gathered three armies, more than 100,000 troops, and at the same time, a large number of equipment was also delivered, and even the two tank regiments that Feng Guozhang had been reluctant to take out earlier, planning to be the pioneer of this campaignββββββ fortunately. It's not very far from the river border, only about 40 kilometers away.
Although the tanks currently equipped by the Wehrmacht Army are not very reliable. But at 40 kilometers, most of them should be fine, and as long as they can break through this defense line, Feng Guozhang can use this as a breakthrough next. Tear the entire line of defense of the Japanese apart!
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Jiangjie!
It was one of the most important towns in northern Korea that had previously been captured by the National Defense Forces. At this time, there were already heavy troops gathered here, and countless troops had already gathered here.
Especially on the outskirts of the town, troops of various numbers can be seen everywhere. The troops, dressed in uniforms of the same color, silently waited for orders from the rear.
At the same time, there were some officers and soldiers who made a fuss after seeing the new troops entering the town.
Well, that's right, it's driving in!
On a flat land near the river boundary. Just as some soldiers were sorting out their things there, a puff of smoke suddenly appeared in the distance. It was as if a cavalry unit was heading here.
The soldiers present didn't pay much attention to this, only a few people raised their heads and looked interested.
There is no way, this time Feng Guozhang gathered a total of three armies in Jiangjie, but in order to keep it secret, these troops blocked the areas near Jiangjie, especially in the towns. Although it is inconvenient for all the residents in the bar to be driven out of the river boundary, in fact, these people are all locked up in their own homes, and no one is allowed to leave unless there are special circumstances.
Under such a strict order, not to mention anything else, some public places in Jiangjie could not continue to open in the first place. In addition, this is not a very large city, and the soldiers gathered here will naturally find it very boringββββββ Wehrmacht is not a puritanical army, although the strict distance makes them not, cannot, and dare not bully the people at will, but there are many things they are still happy to do, such as going to a brothel and the like.
Although this kind of thing is easy to attract criticism, and many newspapers have even asked the government to strictly prohibit it, and the government has never encouraged or even allowed the troops to do so, but in fact, this is already a tacit thing...
And now, all entertainment is banned, and it is conceivable what kind of stuffiness these people will have, and there will still be many people who are willing to take a look at it if there is some fun in this situation.
Especially the cavalry ...
Now in the Wehrmacht, the cavalry is almost eliminated. Basically, except for some border troops, only the more than 30 main divisions still have cavalry establishments.
If the border guards are concerned, it will definitely be impossible, so judging from the current situation, it is very likely that the main force will be rushed over this time, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.
It's just that, to their surprise, they guessed wrong...
"These, aren't these tanks?"
Looking at the steel behemoths that were approaching, a soldier said with some surprise.
"yes, I thought it was cavalry, but I didn't expect it to be this thing..."
The other soldier stood next to the previous one, his expression equally surprised.
Obviously, none of them expected that this time it would be a tank unit.
Later, an officer spoke on the side. "I didn't expect the above to finally be willing to take out these baby bumps, it's really gratifying." In the tone, there is a lot of irony in it.
And after hearing this officer's words, the others around also showed a gesture of approval.
It's no wonder they do, because these things were too tightly hidden earlier. From the time Dandong was attacked by the Japanese army, until now, the tanks and other armored units belonging to the Shenyang Military Region have never been put into the battlefield, which is naturally easy to cause dissatisfaction among many troops, after all, they are desperate in front, and which people are hiding in a safe place in the back, many people are even more ironic, the tank troops call it baby bumps, as for them? Of course, it's the child raised by the stepmother!
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Seeing that it was actually the tank troops coming, there were also many soldiers on both sides who surrounded them, looking at these baby bumps a little strangely.
On the other hand, after standing on the tank and noticing the gazes of the soldiers around him, the commander of this tank unit also felt that something was wrong.
How could he not know what the troops below called them. Even though he rarely leaves the tank unit, he has participated in the gatherings of ordinary officers a few times, so he knows very well what they are called below, but it is precisely because of this that his heart is extremely embarrassed.
And for a long time in the past, the commanders of those armored units of the Shenyang Military Region also often asked Feng Guozhang for war, if not for anything else, but to get rid of the strange eyes of the people around them. It's just that they never succeeded, and in the end, even though they knew what was going on, they always had a feeling that they couldn't hold their heads up...
Fortunately, now Feng Guozhang has finally relented, and they can finally straighten their waists...
However, this cannot be said to be Feng Guozhang's fault, the reason why Feng Guozhang has not invested in tank troops in the past is because he feels sorry for these baby bumps, but on the other hand, it is also because it is not necessary, after all, after those defensive lines in the north of Korea are occupied, the rest is basically only a defensive task, and there is no need to send tanks to this kind of task.
As for Dandong's side?
It was just an urban war, and it was an urban war that was about to be reduced to ruins, and the Wehrmacht was also on the defensive there, so it was a waste to throw tank units into it.
As a result, although Dandong has been fighting very lively for most of the year, these war weapons, which are called the kings of the new generation of war, have never been put into the battlefield, and some are just Renault tanks belonging to the Japanese army...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
As a large number of troops began to converge on the river boundary, a qiΔ seemed to have been revealed.
However, the Japanese did not know anything about this, not because they did not know that Feng Guozhang intended to attack, but because they did not know from which direction Feng Guozhang intended to attack. In order to ensure suddenness, Feng Guozhang not only thought of many ways in the direction of the river boundary, but also arranged a large number of false targets in several other positions to attract the attention of the Japanese, so that Utsunomiya Taro had no way to judge Feng Guozhang's main direction of attack.
At the headquarters of the Korean Front, Utsunomiya Taro has been urging several intelligence agencies, including the Black Dragon Society, to provide a detailed piece of information as much as possible. After all, this feeling of knowing that the opponent is going to fight you, but not knowing which direction the opponent intends to fight from, is really uncomfortable...
In this regard, organizations such as the Black Dragon Society also tried their best, but they never had a clue...
If nothing like this happens...
As night fell, just when everyone had begun to fall asleep, in the headquarters of the Shenyang Military Region, a sneaky figure was secretly active in the headquarters...
Although it is impossible to see the true face of this person because of the night, according to that little light, you can still clearly see the rank on this person's shoulder...
Major...
It looks like some staff officer in the headquarters...
And in his hand, he is holding a copy of the information that he has just stolen...
Regarding the offensive deployment of this campaign...
As long as he has this thing, Utsunomiya Taro can calmly deploy and wait for work... (To be continued......)
