Chapter 647: 88mm Anti-Everything Cannon!
Kaifeng.
Shanxi Gansu Hall.
The offices of the secret services of the five provinces of the Japanese army in North China.
The head of the agency, Lieutenant General Takaro Matsumuro, is checking the information about the Central Army.
His assistant Jiro Matsumoto walked in with two telegrams in his hand, bowed his head to Takaro Matsumuro and reported:
"General..."
"Here are two telegrams from the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, you should be interested."
While speaking, Jiro Matsumoto handed the telegram in his hand to Takaro Matsumuro who was behind him.
Takaro Matsumuro succeeded Sadazo Yoshikawa as the head of the secret services of the five provinces in North China.
Yoshikawa Zhenzuo, the former head of the secret service of the five provinces in North China, is the nephew of the locust with the rank of major general.
However, last year (May 1940), Major General Yoshikawa Sadazo was assassinated and killed by Kuomintang and Communist agents in the Shanxi-Gan Hall.
Lieutenant General Takaro Matsumuro took over the position of Sadazo Yoshikawa and commanded the activities of Japanese puppet secret services in various parts of North China.
He successively expanded the secret service organs and subordinate organs of the Japanese army in North China, and formed a tight intelligence network through various intelligence stations, investigation squads, anti-communist units, and field intelligence officers scattered throughout the country.
Takaro Matsumuro took the two telegrams and read them.
The first telegram was a clear-code telegram sent by Li Yunlong.
After reading the first telegram, Takaro Matsumuro couldn't help but get up suddenly, his eyes barely wide.
What shocked Takaro Matsumuro was not Li Yunlong's arrogance, but the death of Lieutenant General Kojuo.
is also a lieutenant general, Gu Shoufu dumped him a few streets away from Matsumuro Takaro in terms of qualifications and military exploits, but he didn't expect that even the famous Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu died in the hands of Li Yunlong.
In addition, Matsumuro Takaro did not expect that the North China Front Command would cover the news of Gu Shoufu's death so tightly.
He, the spy leader of the five provinces in North China, also saw this clear-code telegram sent by Li Yunlong, and only then did he know that the famous Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu had actually broken jade.
It took a while for Takaro Matsumuro to digest the news.
The old devil referred to the clear-code telegram sent by Li Yunlong last time, and judged that the information on this clear-code telegram should be true.
The intelligence work of the Eighth Route Army is really powerful, and I don't know how many lieutenant generals died in the hands of Li Yunlong.
Thinking that he was also a lieutenant general, Takaro Matsumuro couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and continued to look through the next telegram.
Under this look, Takaro Matsumuro couldn't help but shrink back suddenly, and his face also showed a look of horror.
General Okamura Ningji of the North China Front Army is a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army?
"This second telegram was also sent by Li Yunlong in clear code?"
Takaro Matsumuro looked at Jiro Matsumoto and asked in a deep voice.
"It's not!" Jiro Matsumoto replied, "This telegram was translated by the coder in the telegraph room using the code of the Eighth Route Army that was deciphered not long ago. ”
"That is." Matsumuro Takaro's eyes narrowed and said, "We intercepted the secret telegram sent by Li Yunlong to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army?" ”
"Hey!"
Jiro Matsumoto bowed his head in response.
This is the code of the Eighth Route Army that has just been deciphered by the secret services of the five provinces in North China.
That is, the command of the North China Front must not have known about this telegram.
Matsumoto Jiro's expression quickly calmed down, but the thoughts in his heart could not be calmed down like a river overturning the sea.
As the head of the secret service of the five provinces in North China, Matsumuro Takaro handled first-hand information such as the assassination of Michiichi Miyano, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, the leakage of the fishing plan personally formulated by Okamura Ninji, commander of the front army, and the total annihilation of the 5th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 3rd Infantry Wing of the 1st Division at Miaoergou.
These materials show that within the North China Front, there were high-ranking agents of the Eighth Route Army.
Moreover, this high-ranking agent was very high in the North China Front, and Okamura also used the elimination method to eliminate Tanabe Moritake and Arisue Seizo successively.
In order to keep it secret, this time Gu Shoufu came to North China, and even he, the head of the spies, did not know.
This time, Gu Shoufu's whereabouts were exposed, and it must have been leaked by a high-ranking agent lurking in the North China Front Headquarters.
As far as Matsumuro knows, Okamura Ninji changed the staff officers of the North China Front Command.
And Tanabe Moritake and Seizo Arisue were out of suspicion again.
So...... Who else could be the senior agent of the Eighth Route Army in the North China Front Command?
Why did Gu Shoufu come to North China after the defeat of the North China Front?
What is the purpose of Gu Shoufu's visit to North China this time, is it to seize the position of the headquarters of Okamura Ningji North China Front?
When did Okamura Ninji defect to the Empire?
Was it when you first came to China to engage in intelligence?
The more Takaro Matsumuro thought about this question, the more he felt extremely frightened to think about it, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
If Okamura Ninji was really a senior agent of the Eighth Route Army, and knew that their secret service had received this telegram, he would definitely be killed.
Even Michichi Miyano and Kojuo are dead, not to mention his little secret service chief.
Takaro Matsumuro looked at Jiro Matsumoto and said coldly, "Matsumoto-kun! ”
"Hey!"
Jiro Matsumoto bowed his head.
Takaro Matsumuro asked, "Who is in charge of translating this telegram?" ”
Jiro Matsumoto replied truthfully: "It's the decoder, Second Lieutenant Nakayama." ”
Takaro Matsumuro asked, "Besides Nakayama Ekio, is there anyone else who knows about this?" ”
"Nope!" Jiro Matsumoto thought about it carefully and replied, "Except for Nakayama Tsukio, only me and the general have seen this telegram. ”
"Yo Xi!" Matsumuro Takaro said, "You immediately go and lock up Nakayama and prevent anyone from contacting him, and prepare a radio station for me." ”
"Hey!"
Jiro Matsumoto didn't take it seriously at first, and was shocked into a cold sweat at this time.
He believed that the intercepted telegram of the Eighth Route Army was probably deliberately sent by Li Yunlong, after all, this code was useless for the Eighth Route Army for a while.
But looking at Takaro Matsumuro's reaction, it seems that he really regarded General Okamura Ninji as a spy of the Eighth Route Army?
Jiro Matsumoto ate the bowl of rice of intelligence work, and immediately understood Jiro Matsumoto's thoughts, and immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, Jiro Matsumoto brought a radio station.
Takaro Matsumuro took out a codebook from his body, first translated the contents of the telegram into cipher numbers, and then operated the radio station himself to send the telegram.
……
Shanxi.
Taiyuan.
The headquarters of the First Army.
"Yaga!"
After reading the telegram sent by Li Yunlong, Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu was furious and slapped the staff officer who came to report the news in the face.
Yoshio Iwamatsu was promoted to lieutenant general in 1937 and served as commander of the 1st Independent Garrison, commander of the 15th Division, and commander of the Continental Central Defense Army.
After Yoshio Shinozuka was killed, he went to Taiyuan with joy to take up the post of commander of the First Army.
thought that he could rely on his military exploits to be promoted to major general, and since then he has reached the pinnacle of his life.
He originally thought that the First Army was in Shanxi, pressing the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army to kill indiscriminately.
The success of the Eighth Route Army's sneak attack on Taiyuan was only because the main forces of the First Army and the troops directly under the North China Front Army were transferred to Jinnan to attack the Central Army.
It wasn't until Yoshio Iwamatsu took office that he found out that the situation was completely different from what he thought.
Here, the First Army of the Japanese Army was pressed and killed indiscriminately by the Eighth Route Army, and there was not much strength to fight back.
And now the Eighth Route Army, especially Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army, is even more excessive.
Li Yunlong just led his troops to attack Datong, almost completely annihilating the 3rd Brigade and Regiment, and shot down the planes and two fighters of the observation group.
This is not over, just like last time, Li Yunlong sent a telegram in clear code.
In Iwamatsu Yoshio's view, Li Yunlong was not sending a telegram in clear code, but slapping his face, riding on his head to, and after, he had to hand Li Yunlong a piece of paper.
The 3rd Brigade was a unit subordinate to the First Army, and the planes of the observation regiment were also shot down in Shanxi under the jurisdiction of the First Army.
No matter which one it is, he Iwamatsu Yoshio can't get out of it.
Iwamatsu Yoshio also didn't know how long he could sit in the position of commander of the First Army.
"Hey!"
The communications staff officer was slapped in the face, not daring to be displeased in the slightest, but instead bowed his head to Iwamatsu Yoshio with his face straight.
Iwamatsu Yoshio did not pay attention to the communications staff officer again, but waved his hand, and the communications staff officer turned around and left with relief.
Afterwards, Iwamatsu Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Kazuki: "Yamamoto-kun, is it possible for your special team to behead Li Yunlong?" ”
"It's hard!" Yamamoto Kazuki had a cold and paralyzed expression and said, "The current northwest of Jin is run like a monolith by the Eighth Route Army, and the special team wants to infiltrate the regimental headquarters of the new regiment, unless there is a senior officer of the new regiment as an internal response, otherwise the special task force has not yet approached the regimental headquarters of the new regiment, and it will be eliminated!" ”
Today's new regiment is no longer what it used to be, and Yamamoto alone has an estimated 20,000 combatants.
These dozens of people in the special team can't even beat the one or two thousand people in the new regiment, let alone now.
What's more, the weapons and equipment of the individual soldiers of the ordinary companies of the Eighth Route Army are not much worse than those of the special team.
Yoshio Shinozuka also asked this question at the beginning, but Kazuki Yamamoto gave the same answer.
"Yaga!"
Iwamatsu Yoshio racked his brains, and couldn't think of a way to deal with Li Yunlong and Xinyituan, so he had to scold hatefully.
……
Two days later.
Okamura Ninji was practicing his sword when the communications staff officer came over and said that the cabinet had sent another telegram asking him to return to his homeland.
So, Okamura Ningji, who had just arrived in Beiping, got on the plane back to Tokyo.
Okamura guesses it's because of Kojuo's affair.
He had already thought of his rhetoric, and said that the intelligence department was incompetent, and he had not been able to find out the senior agents lurking in the North China Front Headquarters.
Or shift the blame to the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu.
Of course, there are some skills that need to be used, but they are all under the control of Okamura Ninji.
But this time it was beyond Okamura's expectations.
At the Tokyo airport, as soon as Okamura Ninji got off the plane, he was controlled.
Since Gu Shoufu's bones are gone, the devils set up a mound for him.
The locust personally presided over the memorial service of Kojuo, and at the memorial service, Kojuo was posthumously awarded the title of General of the Locust Army of the Japanese Empire.
……
It was when Kojuo was posthumously awarded the rank of General of the Japanese Army.
In an underground military base in the northwest of Shanxi, Chen Feng, who was learning marksmanship from Yan Shuangying, suddenly moved.
The sound of the system's sand and electromechanical synthesis sounded in my ears:
[Gu Shoufu was posthumously awarded the rank of general, unlocking the German 88mm FLAK anti-aircraft gun]
[12 88mm FLAK anti-aircraft guns can be obtained]
[Please deliver it to the employer as soon as possible after receiving it from the host]
Chen Feng's eyes narrowed, turned off the safety of the submachine gun, and handed it to Yan Shuangying.
The dog system still has this kind of operation?
The devil was a lieutenant general when he was killed, but after his death, he was posthumously awarded a general, and he could also unlock weapons? And reward unlocked weapons?
Chen Feng's mentality suddenly collapsed.
Stone hammer, this dog system is definitely Li Yunlong's own son.
Other people's systems, the ability to give the host, are every second and every second.
As for their own, except for some bodyguards, the dog system does not give any ability.
Chen Feng didn't want much, as long as his individual strength was a little stronger than Yan Shuangying.
Since the dog system is not given, it is idle anyway, Chen Feng followed Yan Shuangying to learn marksmanship and skills, and now he has reached the level of Xiaocheng.
Chen Feng looked at the time, and the receipt time agreed with Li Yunlong was almost there.
Boss Chen, who had a collapsed mentality, decided not to come forward in person and asked Yan Shuangying to go to Dagu Town.
Other than that.
He has already given instructions to the system for the weapons and ammunition given to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi, and the system will automatically arrange the delivery of transport planes and super-large helicopters.
……
Three hours later.
Big Lonely Town.
The location of the new regiment of goods.
Look at the 16 B4 heavy howitzers, 32 heavy howitzer tractors, 12 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, 24 Liberation anti-aircraft gun tractors, and some shells in large boxes.
A group of regimental and battalion-level officers of the new regiment, including Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou and Zhang Dabiao.
All smiles on their faces.
"Boss Chen is really a good person!"
"After the death of Gushofu, he was posthumously awarded the rank of general, and there is also an anti-aircraft gun business?"
Grand Master Li looked at the 12 88-mm anti-aircraft guns in front of him, with a simple and cheerful smile on his face, like an old farmer with a fruitful harvest.
Since the 88-mm anti-aircraft guns were temporarily given by the system, Chen Feng did not discuss with Li Yunlong, so he directly delivered the anti-aircraft guns to Dagu Town.
And for this batch of 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, it was not given for nothing, but as a business of Gushofu posthumously awarded the general.
Of course.
The price of posthumously awarding a general is not the same as killing a general directly.
If it is a direct killing of the general, then the price is 36 B4 heavy howitzers, not 24 heavy howitzers plus 12 88-mm anti-aircraft guns.
Not all lieutenant generals can be posthumously awarded generals after they are killed, such as the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Yan Shuangying said that this 88-mm anti-aircraft gun is called an anti-everything gun."
"You can use it to fight planes, you can use it to fight tanks, you can use it to fight infantry, and you can even use it to fight pillboxes and turrets."
"This cannon has a lot of functions and uses!"
Zhao Gang looked at the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and his expression was full of surprise.
This time it was received, and there were 12 more 88-mm anti-aircraft guns than expected, and the performance of this 88-mm anti-aircraft gun was extremely good.
With this 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the firepower of the new regiment will become more and more powerful.
Other than that.
This time the downing of 3 Japanese planes and 3 pilots could get 3 105-mm howitzers, 9 75-mm mountain guns, as well as some communications equipment and food.
However, it will take a few days for Boss Chen to arrange the delivery of these 12 guns.
These 12 cannons, put in other units, can form an artillery battalion with strong firepower, but in the new regiment, it is the establishment of an artillery company.
That is to say, this time, in addition to the 16 203-mm heavy howitzers handed over to the headquarters, the new regiment received a total of 40 cannons.
After carefully calculating, the smile on Li Yunlong's face became more and more intense.
