Hasegawa Shigeo said with a smile: "I believe everyone has seen what Lin Yuan wrote in the newspaper, low-level boring and unsightly, have you ever thought about why Lin Yuan is doing this?" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan said: "Lin Yuan did this just to stimulate us to attack as soon as possible and rescue the second division in the Hamgyong Mountains, so that they could destroy us." ”

Hasegawa Shigeo said with a smile: "Mizuta-kun is right, this is precisely the weakness of Lin Yuan's troops, they are too eager for a decisive battle, so as soon as we appear, they will bite us tightly, we can take advantage of this, lure their troops out of Meixiangli, and then take Meixiangli in one fell swoop." ”

Mizuda Mingyuan said: "This plan sounds very good, but it is very difficult to implement, right? ”

Hasegawa Shigeo smiled: "It's man-made, I've already thought of a way, everyone, please look at the map." After Hasegawa Shigeo finished speaking, he stepped aside, pointed to the map behind him and said: "Everyone, please look at this river called 'Yulang River', which is the actual dividing line between our troops and Lin Yuan's troops, Lin Yuan's troops are on the north bank of this river, and we are on the south bank. ”

"Our troops crossed the Yulang River and attacked Qingjin, so that Lin Yuan mistakenly thought that the purpose of our operation was to defeat Qingjin, so Lin Yuan will mobilize heavy troops to have a decisive battle with our troops, Lin Yuan's troops are few, and they will inevitably mobilize the defenders of Meixiangli to participate in the battle, so that the troops of Meixiangli will be empty, so we can send another surprise army and take Meixiangli!"

Mizuta Mingyuan nodded and said, "Hasegawa-kun's plan is good!" So how exactly are we going to fight? ”

Hasegawa Shigeo said with a smile: "I led the Ninth Division to feint on Qingjin to attract the strength of Lin Yuan's troops, and when the time is ripe, your troops will quickly advance and take Meixiangli!" ”

Mizuta Mingyuan said: "My troops are now stationed closest to Meixiangli, if I hold my troops before the war, Lin Yuan will definitely think that my troops will not be dispatched, and when Lin Yuan's troops transfer all their forces to Qingjin, we can take advantage of the weakness to enter, and then Lin Yuan will not be able to return to Meixiangli." ”

Hasegawa Shigeo said with a smile: "Mizuta-kun is right, you have a very important task, that is, to make it look like your 100th mixed division will not be dispatched to participate in the battle, and interfere with Lin Yuan's judgment, can you do it?" ”

Shuitian Mingyuan thought for a while and said: "There should be no problem, as long as I let the troops make some slack appearance, I should be able to hide from Lin Yuan's eyes." ”

Shigeo Hasegawa said, "Then you go and prepare, I'm going to prepare too." ”

At this time, it was March 20th, Lin Yuan had already returned to Beijing, and on March 21st, Lin Yuan was thinking about his next move in the office, when suddenly Shen Wanqing walked in and said: "I got information that the Japanese army is ready to dispatch." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is the information reliable?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Absolutely reliable, it was sent by our intelligence organization in Jizhou, they said that the Ninth Division of the Japanese Army had boarded the train and headed for the Yulang River in the early hours of yesterday morning, and it is expected to arrive near the Yulang River at 10 o'clock this evening, and our intelligence organization also took photos." ”

After Shen Wanqing finished speaking, she put a stack of photos in front of Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan picked up the photos and looked at them one by one, only to see that the photos were all scenes of Japanese soldiers boarding the train, Lin Yuan was watching, and suddenly a photo caught his attention, only to see that the photo was a weapon placed on the train, and the body of the weapon was covered with a tarpaulin, and the outline under the tarpaulin was very similar to a tank.

Lin Yuan pointed to the tank in the photo and asked Shen Wanqing: "Wanqing, what is this thing?" ”

Shen Wanqing looked at it for a while, shook her head and said, "The intelligence organization didn't report it, I think it looks like the main artillery combat vehicle of the Japanese army." ”

Lin Yuan said: "This type of main gun combat vehicle gives me a different feeling from the original main gun combat vehicle, I think it is a new model. ”

Shen Wanqing looked at it for a long time before saying: "This thing is covered with tarpaulin, and you can't see anything, how do you know that it is a new model?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to a small piece of the cannon body exposed in front of the tarpaulin and said: "Look here, there is a multi-plus structure on it, which should be a muzzle brake, and the original Japanese main gun chariot did not have this thing." ”

Shen Wanqing took a closer look at the photo and said, "This is too blurry, right?" Can you be sure? ”

Lin Yuan said: "What is the thing sent by the intelligence organization? Photo or film? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "It's film!" The photos were developed by me. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then you find someone to take the film to the technical room, put the photo to the maximum, and I'll take a look." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "It's good, I'll find someone." After Shen Wanqing finished speaking, she walked out, and when it was not too late, she came back with a magnified photo, put the photo in front of Lin Yuan and said, "The photo is developed." ”

Lin Yuan picked up the photo and looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "My judgment is right, this thing is the muzzle brake." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "Then this weapon is a new type of weapon?" ”

Lin Yuan nodded silently, and at this moment, his gaze suddenly fell on the image on the edge of the photo, and then he said "Huh" and said, "What is this?" ”

Shen Wanqing poked her head over and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the blurry image on the edge of the photo and said, "Look at this thing, I think it also looks like some kind of new weapon, what do you think?" ”

Shen Wanqing only saw a lump of tarpaulin in the photo, so she shook her head and said, "I can't see what this is." ”

Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Why don't your intelligence officers take important things well?" What's the use of taking so many shots of Japanese soldiers boarding the car? ”

Shen Wanqing said helplessly: "How can I blame my intelligence officers, the carriage with weapons is a key defense place for the Japanese army, and it is not easy for my intelligence officers to get close to take pictures." ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's okay, I don't mean to blame them, I'll inform Shen Xin, the commander of the first division, of the situation, and let him prepare early." ”

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the phone and said, "Pick up Shen Xin for me." When the phone was not connected, Lin Yuan said: "The Ninth Division of the Japanese Army has been dispatched, and it is expected to arrive at Yulang River at ten o'clock this evening, how is your defense work?" ”

Shen Xin said: "Although Lin Shuai can rest assured, our defense work is very good, Yulang River is not a big river, and now the river is still frozen, so we did not lay fortifications along its banks, but laid a defense line in Fenggang, more than 130 kilometers north of Yulang River, and will never let the Japanese army cross the thunder pond!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Very good, there is still the 100th mixed division of the Japanese army stationed on the edge of the Yulang River, right?" How's their movement? ”

Shen Xin said: "According to the reconnaissance of our riverbank observation posts, the 100th Mixed Division has no signs of movement now. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, you can closely monitor the movements of the 100th Mixed Division, and report to me as soon as there is a situation." ”

Shen Xin agreed, and Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "Since the Japanese army will arrive at Yulang River tonight, I will give them a generous gift first, and it's time for our helicopter unit to show off its skills!" ”

Lin Yuan then called the 32nd Division and ordered, "You can dispatch!" ”
