Chapter 1120 You're done

  Hintaro Imamura understood what Miyazaki Kentaro was really asking with this question.

  My student asked why the Saito division did not participate in the battle as the main force, but only as the western Jiangxi division—

  The Saito Division is in Nanchang, and the locust army will use troops from the three directions of western Jiangxi, southern Hubei, and northern Hunan. The Saito Division in Nanchang is not in the battle order of southern Hubei and northern Hunan, and there is no sign of secret mobilization. It is still stationed in Nanchang. Therefore, the Saito Division naturally has only one possibility, and that is to launch an offensive in the western Jiangxi direction.

   "The 101st Division is in Nanchang, and it is convenient and quick to move towards the west of Jiangxi on the spot." Imamura Heutaro said. The map stick in his hand clicked on the map and drew a line obliquely.

  He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Although they are partial divisions, the 101st Division and the 106th Division shoulder the heavy burden of attracting the Chinese army, which is the key to whether this campaign can achieve the greatest results."

  Actually, the reason why the 106th Division and the 101st Division were used as partial divisions was because Gang Village did not think highly of these two divisions.

  The 106th Division suffered heavy losses in the battle of Wanjialing:

  During the Battle of Wuhan last year, the 106th Division of the Locust Army was almost wiped out by the Chinese army in the area of ​​Zhanggushan and Wanjialing because of underestimating the enemy.

  In addition, the 101st Division, which was sent to rescue the 106th Division, also suffered heavy losses due to the encirclement, with thousands of casualties, which eventually led to the defeat of both Japanese troops.

  Although the Japanese army won the entire battle of Wuhan, the disastrous defeat of the 106th Division in Wanjialing made the military extremely angry and regarded it as a "hundred-year shame", because in the history of the establishment of the Locust Army, no reorganized division was beaten by the enemy like this.

  In addition, Imamura Heutaro knew a lot of inside information that the outside world did not know. In the final stage of the Battle of Wanjialing, the commander of the 106th Division Junrokuro Matsuura was also wounded. He led less than a hundred people to hide in the cave.

  The 106th Division of the Locust Army has since been labeled as a shame, and even friendly and neighboring troops began to reject fighting side by side with the 106th Division.

  Even when recruiting and replenishing soldiers, the 106th Division was discriminated against.

   Even many young people burst into tears in public after being announced to be recruited into this army.

  After the Battle of Nanchang, the military has decided to transfer the 106th Division and Zhongjing Division back to the mainland.

  The 101st Division was implicated by the 106th Division in the Battle of Wanjialing, and the loss was not small. After repairs, although it achieved the first victory in capturing Nanchang in the Battle of Nanchang in the first half of this year, the performance of the Saito Division actually did not satisfy the military.

  Therefore, in this Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi campaign, Gangcun simply used these two divisions, which caused headaches for the military headquarters, as partial divisions to attract the strength of the Chinese army—

   After all, these are still two elite imperial divisions in name, and the Chinese army must not dare to be careless.

  And the Chinese army also knows that these two divisions are exhausted divisions, and they are old opponents who were "conquered" by them in the Wanjialing battle. The Chinese army that likes to pick up soft persimmons may pounce on Saito Division and Nakai Division like flies smelling blood.

  …

   "I see." Cheng Qianfan nodded slowly.

  Nakai Division and Saito Division are like bait to attract troops from the Ninth Theater.

   Moreover, Cheng Qianfan speculates that Gangcun arranged the 106th Division and a part of the 101st Division as partial divisions, which should be done deliberately to attract General Xue Boling—

  The victory at Wanjialing was General Xue Boling's proud battle. The 106th Division and the 101st Division were the "parties involved" in this battle. General Xue Boling once said that he hated not being able to wipe out the 106th Division. Now that the Japanese have released the two defeated generals, the 106th Division and the 101st Division, in a sense, it is equivalent to giving the Ninth War Zone and General Xue Boling a chance to "realize their dreams".

  Cheng Qianfan hesitated to speak.

   "Let's talk." Heitaro Imamura glanced at his student and said.

   "Teacher, do you think that the locust army won the Battle of Changsha and Chongqing will surrender?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

   "Kentaro."

   "Hai."

   "Are you so confident that the Locust Army will win the Battle of Changsha?" Heitaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and asked.

   "The locust army has more than 100,000 warriors, and it can hunt more than 200,000 Chinese troops. Isn't it like chopping melons and vegetables?" Cheng Qianfan said with a smile on his face.

  Hintaro Imamura took a deep look at his student, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

   Regarding the battle of Changsha, he is not without confidence, but he personally thinks that the victory of the empire is not a problem. However, it is difficult to achieve the goal of completely annihilating the main force of the ninth theater of the Chinese army.

  Northern Hunan has a lot of water and mountains, and the movement of the Locust Mechanized Corps is limited. If the Chinese army wants to flee, it will be difficult to achieve the strategic goal of complete annihilation.

  Of course, the young people are full of vigor and enthusiasm, and they are very confident in the imperial army, which is a good thing.

   "You came here today just to visit Saito-kun?" Imamura Heutaro asked suddenly.

   "Students came to see the teacher to report the situation. As for seeing General Saito, it just coincided with the meeting." Cheng Qianfan said.

   "What's the matter?" Imamura Heutaro nodded and asked.

   Not to mention whether Miyazaki Kentaro's statement is true or not, the student's words are very comfortable to listen to.

  Cheng Qianfan reported to Imamura Heutaro that what he had learned from Pete about Britain and France once had a joint delegation that made a secret visit to Soviet Russia in May and June.

   "You mean that Britain and France don't pay much attention to this visit and negotiations, but just visit for the sake of the visit?" Heitaro Imamura asked after thinking.

   "Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said sternly, "The French sent generals who are about to retire. The form is bigger than reality. These old generals even bluntly said that they are going to travel with the Soviet Union. Don't expect to reach any agreement with them."

   After a pause, Cheng Qianfan continued, "The British do the same thing. They don't seem to have any interest in reaching any agreement with Soviet Russia."

   "You said just now that you suspect that Pete disclosed this situation to you on purpose?" Heitaro Imamura asked, "What do you think of this?"

   "Peter knows that Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with the Empire, and this should be an attempt to disclose this situation to the Empire through Cheng Qianfan's mouth." Cheng Qianfan thought about it and said, "At the same time, it may be that he did not intend to disclose this situation to the German side through the Empire."

  Hearing this, Heutaro Imamura thought for a while and nodded.

  He agreed with Miyazaki Kentaro's judgment.

  Britain and France have previously tried to send signals to the Empire through a number of unofficial channels, or to send signals to the Germans through the Empire.

   As for this matter, the intention of Britain and France is obvious. What they want to express is:

   They have no intention of reaching any agreement with Soviet Russia!

  In fact, Japanese diplomats, including Heitaro Imamura, have long understood the intentions of the English and French—

  Britain and France are keen and willing to advance Germany's eastward advance, hoping that the Germans can go to war with the Soviet Union, and it is best if the two sides kill both sides.

   With Germany and Poland officially declaring war, the signal sent by Britain and France is quite interesting.

   Considering that he previously judged that Soviet Russia might intervene in the Polish war, and even made territorial claims on Poland...

  Hintaro Imamura suddenly felt something in his heart.

   "Kentaro."

"teacher."

   "Let me ask you, if sacrificing a Poland can ignite a war between Germany and Soviet Russia, do you think Britain and France will do this?" Heitaro Imamura asked.

   "Yes!" Cheng Qianfan said categorically. He thought for a while and added, "If there is a 10% possibility, Britain and France will try."

  The corner of his mouth was raised, and a smile climbed up, "Anyway, it was the Poles who died, and the Poles should have been used to being wiped out for a long time."

  Heitaro Imamura nodded, he was a little more sure about the guess in his heart, then he smiled suddenly, and pointed to Kentaro Miyazaki, "You, this mouth."

  He shook his head, "The Poles are quite friendly to the Empire."

  Poland was one of the first European countries to recognize Manchukuo, and the empire was quite satisfied with this.

   "Poles are used to attaching themselves to powerful countries." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "In the future, the locust army will hunt Europe. Maybe we can consider supporting a Polish country."

  Hintaro Imamura laughed.

  Although reason tells him that the situation Miyazaki Kentaro said is quite difficult to realize, but just thinking about it is fascinating.

  …

  Cen Xu'recruited'.

   Cen Xu, who no longer had a good piece of meat all over his body, suddenly said with difficulty, "I said".

   Hiroo Kikube was overjoyed, "Very good, Mr. Cen, please tell me your identity first."

   "I am the Red Party." Cen Xu said weakly.

  Hiroo Kikube nodded in satisfaction, his guess was right, this person really is the Red Party.

   "My code name is..." Cen Xu said, his voice was very low, and his breath was like a gossamer.

   "Quickly, put him down." Hiroo Kikube was startled and shouted, "Doctor, call Dr. Gonta."

  A secret agent hurriedly put Cen Xu down from the rack.

   Hiroo Kikube stepped forward, he knelt down, helped up Cen Xu, who seemed to be in a bad situation, and asked eagerly, "What is your code name? Your superiors have... ahhhhhh!"

   Hiroo Kikube covered his cheeks and howled like a beast.

  The other agents were shocked when they saw this, rushed over kicking and pulling, and finally rescued Hiroo Kikube.

   "Pfft!" Cen Xu spat out the flesh and blood in his mouth, regretful in his heart, his target was Hiroo Kikube's neck, but because of lack of strength, Hiroo Kikube subconsciously blocked him, only biting Hiroo Kikube's face.

   "Sure enough, it stinks!" Cen Xu said, with a smile on his face, a contemptuous smile, just looking at Hiroo Kikube, who was covering his cheek and looking at him with extreme hatred.

   "Bag duck down!" Hiroo Kikube was completely enraged, he pulled out the holster, pulled out the Nambu pistol, and closed the safety.

   "Get up, hungry and cold slave! Get up—" Sitting on the ground, Cen Xu clenched his fists, raised them, and let out a final cry.

   Bang bang bang bang!

   Hiroo Kikube emptied the magazine directly. He looked at Cen Xu, who was beaten into a hornet's nest by himself, and fell on his back.

   "Bag Duck Fall!" Hiroo Kikube, who still couldn't understand his hatred, took the saber handed over by his subordinates again, and slashed wildly at the corpse, "Die!"

  …

   "Die!" Cheng Qianfan gritted his teeth and let out a low roar.

  The designation of the "Sixth Division" almost made him lose his composure in front of Imamura Heutaro, but fortunately he resolved it with words and demeanor in time.

  He raised the curtain and looked out the window.

  The night is deep.

  The street lights are dim.

  He couldn't wait to report the military information of the Changsha battle that he had just obtained. He was extremely looking forward to his information, which could help the tigers and cardinals in the ninth war zone, and could help my compatriots who died!

  Before, he received a call from the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Control Bureau, ordering him to verify the real target of the Japanese army at all costs, and to further obtain the Japanese military deployment.

  Cheng Qianfan called back to Chongqing: Complete the task at all costs, be loyal to the bureau, and be loyal to the party and state.

  Actually, Cheng Qianfan didn't intend to act recklessly.

   For example, he never thought of the possibility of stealing the military deployment map of the Japanese military operation.

  A battle of this scale involved hundreds of thousands of people. Not to mention his current status, it is difficult to directly contact the top Japanese army in Shanghai at this time.

  Even if he had the opportunity to get in touch with a senior Japanese general, even if the Japanese general was going to participate in the battle and had a secret letter of military deployment in his hand, it was almost impossible for him to get in touch.

  For example, today, even if he met Saito Yataro by chance, if he always wanted to steal military information from Saito Yataro, it would be impossible, even if he was exposed and died for his country, it would be almost impossible to have a chance.

  Therefore, when Cheng Qianfan learned that Yataro Saito was in the Imamura mansion, he immediately had an immediate plan:

  Get the chance to go to the Imamura mansion naturally, and then meet Saito Yataro, and then try to find a way to learn about the deployment of the Japanese army from Saito Yataro and Imamura Hyoutaro!

  The reason for this plan was inspired by details such as the marks on the map he saw in Imamura Hyoutaro's study. He judged that since Imamura Hyoutaro and Saito Yataro had the habit of discussing military affairs, this could be used accordingly.

  After confirming this plan, he built it step by step. Before Kazuo Saito came to pick up Ryono Sakamoto, he predicted in advance and expressed his respect for Yataro Saito again in advance. In this way, Ryono Sakamoto would naturally invite him to go with him.

   On the way to the Imamura mansion, I deliberately made friends with Kazuo Saito, listened in on Kazuo Saito's temper from Kazuo Saito's mouth, and made more specific plans and preparations for subsequent actions.

  In Imamura Hyoutarou's study, even the frequency with which he pours tea for Saito Yataro has been carefully calculated. By secretly observing Saito Yataro's sitting posture and expression, he can judge when the person is about to urinate.

  At the same time, he is also quietly leading the topic.

  Cheng Qianfan was proud of the danger, and when Saito Yataro got up, the timing was just right, and he immediately picked up the map stick and handed it over.

  As for introducing Kazuo Saito into the net, it was also a move of adaptability.

  Although there was an unexpected situation that Saito Yataro left early in a bad mood during the whole operation, but fortunately, when he said that sentence, he was actually making a pillar for the record—

  His words made Saito Yataro unhappy. Based on his understanding of Imamura Heutaro, Imamura Heutaro would definitely keep him for questioning, which gave him the opportunity to continue to "ask" Imamura Heutaro.

   In this way, every step is carefully planned, and at the same time it is adaptable.

  So, with the joint guidance of Lieutenant General Saito Yataro, the commander of the 101st Division of the Japanese Army, and Mr. Imamura, to fill in the gaps—

   Now, you're done!

  He wants to rush back and send a report to Chongqing immediately!
