However, before the devil's chief of staff, Kitagawa, formulated a battle plan for the final sneak attack on Dafengzhuang.

The Japanese intelligence department transmitted the latest information to the headquarters of the First Army about the base area of the independent regiment.

Inside the headquarters, the head of the intelligence department is reporting to Yoshio Shinozuka.

"General, according to the information fed back by our army that infiltrated into the residential area of the Eighth Route Army's base area."

"After a large number of victims quickly poured into the base area of the Independent Regiment, the Eighth Route of the Independent Regiment quickly took action, built a large number of simple civilian houses inside and outside the base area, and successfully resettled these victims."

"They have enough food, they have taken all the measures to resettle the victims, and even pay attention to health and safety."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, this is something that he and Chief of Staff Kitagawa talked about when the Independent Regiment received a large number of victims, and he was also emotionally moved in his heart.

It seems that, just as Chief of Staff Kitagawa said, the independent regiment is developing rapidly, and perhaps its heritage is no longer something that outsiders can imagine.

The conversation changed.

The intelligence minister's face was a little ugly, and he continued to report: "General, in addition, there is another piece of information that is very strange, although according to the feedback of our special agents who entered the base area of the Eighth Route Army, they said that they saw it with their own eyes, but so far, I still don't believe it. ”

"What information?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

"According to the information transmitted back by the intelligence officers, recently, inside and outside the base area of the Independent Regiment, the Eighth Route of the Independent Regiment seems to have held a large number of study classes internally."

"They began to train a large number of artillery, automobile, armored and other professionals."

The Minister of Intelligence replied.

After hearing this, what appeared on Yoshio Shinozuka's face was a look of disdain.

"With the backward conditions of Tubalu, they still want to train automobile soldiers and armored soldiers? It's really wishful thinking. ”

"Yes...... General, according to the intelligence of the special agents, a large number of military vehicles, even armored vehicles and tanks, have suddenly appeared up and down the ground of the independent regiment recently. ”

"In the intelligence letter sent back by our army's intelligence officers, he said that he had seen it with his own eyes, and in the core area of the independent regiment's base area, he saw more than a dozen tanks from a distance, and because it was too far away, he could not see it clearly, but it was certain that it should be a tank.

Like some light tanks, and even some medium tanks. ”

"The roar of the engine traveled far away, and on the training ground, the Tubalu people were training in full swing and were practicing tank driving."

"In addition, there are cars and armored vehicles whizzing back and forth on the training ground, and on the edge of the training ground, rows and rows of vehicles are parked......"

"At the artillery training position, the special agents even saw many large-caliber artillery pieces from a distance, which was really shocking."

"Yaga!"

Yoshio Shinozuka, who couldn't help but slap the table, scolded in a deep voice:

"How is this possible? How can there be so many mechanical vehicles on the Eighth Road? ”

"General, this is also the most strange place I think, even if the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly in the past two years, and has fought with our army many times, it has captured a lot of weapons and equipment of our army, including some vehicles, armored vehicles, and tanks, but the number will definitely not be so much."

The Minister of Devil Intelligence also raised the doubts in his heart, but when he said these words, even he was a little unconfident.

Because......

"General, it's just that these situations have been seen with the eyes of our army's special agents, and there is more than one person."

"In addition, our army has been keeping an eye on the communications personnel of the regional radio signals of the Eighth Route Army, and recently successfully intercepted some radio signals sent from the base area of the independent regiment."

"The means of communication of the eight roads have always been backward, and the radio communication equipment is almost non-existent.

At present, this independent regiment is developing rapidly, and it is supposed to have some radio equipment at hand, so it is possible to start communication.

It's just that they have not done enough to keep radio signals secret, and the intercepted radio signals are easily deciphered by our army's intelligence officers. ”

This was a surprise, and Yoshio Shinozuka asked, "After deciphering it, what is the content of the intercepted information?" ”

The Minister of Devil Intelligence had a headache and said:

"It's very miscellaneous, it's very messy, all kinds of information, there are some information transmitted to the regiments by the General Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army Detachment, and some information transmitted between the regiments."

"There is a lot of invalid information mixed in, and the useful intelligence information that has been sorted out is ......"

"It seems that the independent regiment has held a military skills study class within the regiment, calling for the training of professional talents such as engineers, infantry, artillery, automobile troops, and armored troops."

"With the arrival of the victims, the scale of the independent regiment seems to be further expanding, and it has now expanded to 17 regiments, including the combat regiment under its jurisdiction, the migrant workers' combat regiment and so on."

"In addition, General, through the collation of these scattered information, we have come to the conclusion that, as we speculated, the development within the base area of the Independent Regiment has now reached a considerable scale."

"They have some factories and even have their own independent arsenal."

"They have built quite strong anti-aircraft fortifications inside the base area, and equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery to guard against the bombing of our aircraft at any time."

“…… The Independence Regiment has gotten a dozen tanks out of nowhere, and it seems that they are preparing to form their armored units in recent days. ”

"In addition to these, there are also correspondence between the Independent Regiment and some officers of the Imperial Allied Army of our army, and even the officers of our Imperial Japanese Empire."

"Business? What kind of business do they do? ”

Yoshio Shinozuka asked with suppressed anger when he heard that there were indeed Japanese officers doing business with the Eighth Route Army.

Seeing that Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned, the Minister of Devil Intelligence hurriedly replied:

"According to the deciphered information, there is food, and there are many important daily necessities, in addition, there are even some Imperial Allied Army and Imperial officers who smuggle arms with the Independent Regiment, and sell some guns and ammunition to the Eighth Route privately."

"Yaga, these bastards, this is an enemy act!" Yoshio Shinozuka was furious.

"General...... Regarding the Imperial Allied Army and Imperial officers who secretly did business with the Eighth Road, we successfully deciphered a list. ”

"Say!"

"Hey!" The Minister of Devil's Intelligence responded, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Yoshio Shinozuka, but read the list displayed in the intelligence document in his hand:

"Yangquan, Captain of the Gendarmerie Squad Saburo Takeda, Kenji Fujino, Captain of the Imperial Squadron in Yangquan, and Huang Dacheng, Commander of the Imperial Association Legion......"

"Ping'an County, Imperial Squadron Leader Noda Jiro, Garrison Captain Zhang Gui......"

"Shouyang...... Heyuan ......"

“…… Generals, even in Taiyuan City, the base camp where our army is stationed, there are also some imperial officers who secretly do business with the Eighth Road, and the following is the list, there are five people in total, they are ......"

Listening to the names gradually read out by the Minister of Devil Intelligence, these officers were the mainstay of his security in the important county towns of the Japanese Empire, and Yoshio Shinozuka's face became more and more ugly.

"Bastard, check for me, find out at once, all the people on the list are arrested and interrogated, I want to know all the details of these bastards' dealings with the Eight Roads within three days, I want to see how much supplies and equipment they have stolen."

"Hey! Please rest assured, general, I will immediately arrange for the special task force to carry out the operation. ”

Looking at the angry Yoshio Shinozuka, the Minister of Devil Intelligence didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly responded......
