Chapter 681: Tricks Behind the Scenes
At the same time that the Japanese army's middle route army was blocked by Chen Feng's department, the Japanese army of 4 divisions and 7 divisions of the puppet army on the south road were also blocked by the southwest theater, in comparison, Long Yun was not as confident as Xue Yue, as an old warlord who existed in the Beiyang period of China, Long Yun can be said to be the older and less courageous the rivers and lakes, although he had more than 400,000 elite troops in his hands, but he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, but ordered the troops to deploy along the mountains and forests of northern Qianbei, in order to prevent the Japanese army from entering Guizhou.
Of course, Long Yun also has a concern about doing this, that is, in order to reinforce the Burma battlefield at any time, he has just received news that the Japanese army has once again entangled more than 100,000 troops in Burma and launched a comprehensive attack on the expeditionary force, and at the same time, Thailand's 5 infantry divisions also sent troops to the Sino-Thai border and the Thai-Burmese border to cooperate with the Japanese army.
Under such circumstances, the strength of the 150,000 expeditionary force is obviously weak, and besides, it is still fighting outside the country, and it is very inconvenient to supply it, so in this case, the responsibility of the southwest theater closest to the Burma battlefield is unprecedentedly heavy, not only has the responsibility of protecting the territory, but also has to serve as the nurse of the Burma battlefield, and once the expeditionary force is unfavorable in combat, the southwest theater must unconditionally go south to reinforce it.
However, even if the southwest theater could not deal with it with all its might, it would be extremely difficult for the Japanese army to enter the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which is located in the southwest border of China, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and there are many mountains and few roads, the land is poor and the people are poor, and there are not many valuable targets. As far as the entire Qianbei is concerned, there is only one Zunyi that can make the Japanese look at it.
However, although the road from southern Hunan to northern Qianbei to Zunyi is not long, it is all winding mountain roads, and it is very rugged and narrow. In some places, it is really a one-man affair, and only a heavy machine gun is needed to seal off the entire road.
Although Long Yun did not formulate a counterattack plan, a single defensive operation plan stumped the Japanese army. More than 100,000 troops blocked the mountain road in northeast Guizhou for seven or eight days, and still failed to complete the mountain road in northeast Guizhou that was less than 100 kilometers.
In fact, looking at the so-called "brave" battle plan of the Japanese army, it was a big gamble and a military adventure from the very beginning. Although it seems that the plan is well-planned, after all, this is done under the circumstances of no choice, and almost all strategic ideas are formulated under the most ideal ideas, and once a problem arises at one point, then the entire operational plan will be full of holes.
Militarily, the offensive was stopped by the heroic Chinese elite. As the supreme commander of this battle. The mood of the six generals of Yanjun can be imagined.
At the level of Yan Junliu, there is no secret for him in the base camp, so General Yan Junliu knows very well what the "Yong" battle plan means to the Japanese army. If you win, it's okay to say, once the attack is frustrated. The plan failed. That meant that the Imperial Japanese Army had to accept the fact of withdrawing its troops from China.
It has been five years since the China Incident (the Lugouqiao Incident). At this point, the price paid by the entire Japanese people and army is not insignificant, and millions of casualties have caused one out of every 50 families in Japan to bear the grief of losing a loved one. It can be said that every inch of land now occupied by the Japanese people was bought with the blood of the Japanese people, and if the troops were withdrawn from China in such a disgraceful manner, the pressure on the government and the army can be imagined.
What's more, as a soldier, it is his highest honor to open up territory for the Japanese Empire, but now the territory has not been developed well, but has been driven back to his hometown by others, and Yan Junliu is deeply ashamed.
After careful consideration, General Yan Jun decided to give it a go, and he ordered all the spy personnel directly under the command of the Chinese Dispatch Army to be dispatched to carry out an all-round elimination of the previously scheduled targets, on the one hand, to combat the anti-Japanese spirit of the Chinese, and at the same time to disrupt Chinese society.
On August 23, a shooting case occurred at the T-junction of Chongqing South Street, in which a major general officer was assassinated on the street.
According to eyewitness descriptions, the gunman was a very beautiful woman, when Major General Lee Kwang-yeol's car passed by the T-junction, this woman suddenly burst out and fell on the side of the road, Major General Lee Kwang-yeol's driver thought that he had hit someone, so he hurriedly got out of the car to check, but he did not expect that at this time, the murderer quickly jumped up and fired three shots at Major General Lee Kwang-yeol in the car, and Major General Lee Kwang-yeol died on the spot.
At the same time, a mortar wounded people on the road from Chengdu to Mianyang, and Wang Xueli, an assistant to He Guozhang, director of the Sichuan Administrative Bureau, was shelled by unknown militants on his way to Mianyang, killing 19 people, and Wang Xueli was also killed in the attack.
On the morning of the 24th, Guisui Mayor Xu Guangying was assassinated in front of Guisui City Hall, the murderer was a male cleaner in the City Hall, and the murderer committed suicide before everyone could react.
In a short period of five days, more than 30 vicious incidents of military and political officials being assassinated occurred in many places, resulting in the casualties of more than 100 officials and quickly causing quite a stir throughout the country.
After investigation, it was a special operation against China's senior military and political officials, and Chen Feng immediately counterattacked, urgently recruiting the newly established director of the National Security Bureau, Dai Li, deputy directors, Li Kenong, Hua Rong, and Wang Jingya, director of the Confidential Section of the National Security Bureau, to the Central Military Commission building to discuss the spy war against Japan.
Originally, according to his ideas, this National Security Bureau still had to uphold the principle of balance, and it was jointly formed by the former Nationalist Government, Yan'an, and the intelligence agencies under him, on the one hand, of course, to establish a powerful intelligence force for the sake of Zhenghe intelligence resources. On the other hand, of course, it is also hoped that the connection and cohesion of all parties will be enhanced through the integration of intelligence forces, after all, the intelligence department is the best to understand and dig up secrets.
Therefore, when the National Security Bureau was formed, Chen Feng made Dai Li, the king of intelligence of the Nationalist Government and the old man's right-hand man, the director of the bureau, and Li Kenong, who represented Yan'an, and Hua Rong, who represented him Chen, deputy director, and Kang Ze as the head of the action group.
But what made Chen Feng feel depressed was that when the order was issued, Hua Rong personally came to Chen Feng and took the initiative to admit to Chen Feng that he was the person who was lurking around Chen Feng in Yan'an.
Hua Rong's words shocked Chen Feng, this Hua Rong is an old brother who has come all the way with him, and he has been following him since he started the army in 1937, but he didn't expect it to be someone from Yan'an. However, Hua Rong immediately explained that he could not lurk under Chen Feng's hands at first.
At that time, Hua Rong was ordered to go to the Saibei region to recruit a bandit army at the junction of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, just when Hua Rong successfully recruited this bandit, Chen Feng's divine soldiers descended from the sky and turned Hua Rong and more than 100 bandits into prisoners, and then Hua Rong passed the assessment and became the king of intelligence under Chen Feng.
What made Chen Feng feel even more speechless was that according to Hua Rong, in addition to Hua Rong himself, there was also a very hidden spy by his side, and this person was none other than Chen Feng's sister-in-law Wang Jingya.
To say that this Wang Jingya is far from being as simple as it seems, as a student of Peking University, Wang Jingya joined the party a long time ago, it is precisely because of Wang Jingya's involvement, the old man Wang, who was a professor at Peking University, was arrested by the Beiping authorities in the name of a bandit, and died unjustly in prison after the most Lu Hou, and the Wang sisters were also forced to wander around, and Chen Feng became attached to Chen Feng by chance.
Chen Feng didn't expect that his sister-in-law was also from Yan'an, and this news was even more shocking than Hua Dajiao's identity. At the same time, what Chen Feng wanted to know most was whether Wang Qingya, who shared the bed with him, was also from Yan'an, which was very important to Chen Feng.
To Chen Feng's relief, although Wang Qingya is Wang Jingya's sister, she has nothing to do with Yan'an, and at the same time, she doesn't know that Wang Jingya is a member of Yan'an Party.
The reason why Hua Rong confessed to Chen Feng was because Chen Feng had always been very good to him, and he also knew that Chen Feng was a true patriot, if it weren't for Chen Feng's too many wives, he would be the most qualified party member. In addition, Chen Feng also knew what he meant by appointing him as the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, so Hua Rong felt that he should not continue to hide.
The second is that the trend of unification is now very clear, and Yan'an also feels that there is no need to arrange high-level chess pieces like Hua Rong around Chen Feng, after all, it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Feng will not find out after a long time, rather than being discovered by Chen Feng himself, it is better for everyone to say that it is better, after all, it was just a coincidence at that time, neither Hua Rong himself nor Yan'an deliberately set up a game against Chen Feng.
The last thing is that Yan'an thinks that Hua Rong and Wang Jingya really can't stay by Chen Feng's side anymore, because Chen Feng's status is different now, although Chen Feng himself has stripped out the identity of the head of government, but Chen Feng's strong personal prestige will not disappear in a short time, once it is known that Yan'an has arranged intelligence personnel around Chen Feng, this is likely to cause dissatisfaction among the whole people, and even induce more serious things.
After learning about these things, although Chen Feng did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had a feeling of being betrayed by his relatives and brothers, but he couldn't do it again, as Hua Rong said, whether it was him or Wang Jingya, it was really a coincidence that he fell in love with him at that time, they didn't make any plans or actions against Chen Feng, everything was really just a coincidence.
Secondly, Chen Feng has always looked at Yan'an differently in recent years, and the relationship between the two sides has always been very good, so Hua Rong and Wang Jingya have not done anything to be sorry for Chen Feng, so after thinking about it, Chen Feng still decided to appoint Hua Rong as the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, and at the same time appointed Wang Jingya as the director of the confidential department.
This time, the Japanese army was moving frequently in secret, and Chen Feng remembered this powerful intelligence force, and it was time for them to fulfill their duties. (To be continued......)
