Chapter 876 Ota’s clever plan ([Yue Lishao] Alliance leader adds update 16) Please vote for me

 Seeing the unhappy look on Maeda Yoshio's face, Watanabe Yuichiro did not panic.

“My subordinates knew that the division commander might ask, so they specially brought Yuichi Ohta with them.” Yuichiro Watanabe said.

　Maeda Yoshio thought thoughtfully, then chuckled, "It seems that he admires Ohta very much."

"Ota is a very smart and promising officer." Yuichiro Watanabe said with a smile. "He is very important in encircling and suppressing the Chinese army, disintegrating the enemy's psychology, and even breaking up the contacts between the Chinese army, especially the New Fourth Army, and the common people. have provided some new insights.”

"Oh?" Maeda Yoshio was surprised, and then nodded, "Go and call Ota in. I want to hear his opinion personally."

 “Hai.” Yuichiro Watanabe saluted, turned and left.

Soon, Yuichi Ohta came in under the leadership of Yuichiro Watanabe.

 …

 “Division Commander.” Yuichi Ohta saluted Yoshio Maeda.

“Tell me about the information about the New Fourth Army provided by the Super High School.” Maeda Yoshio said directly.

"Hai." Ohta Yuichi took the baton from Captain Watanabe, clicked on several locations on the map, and said, "According to intelligence, the New Fourth Army seems to be present in Tantou and Jiangxinzhou. In addition, Plum Village near Wuxi It was also reported that there were traces of the New Fourth Army.”

 “Plum Village?” Maeda Yoshio took a step forward and stared at the map, lost in thought.

“The New Fourth Army is going to expand outward?” Yuichiro Watanabe also asked.

"Hiroyuki Kikube of the Special High School thinks it is unlikely." Ohta Yuichi shook his head, "Kikube believes that the Kuomintang has extremely strict control over the New Fourth Army and has designated a very narrow area of ​​activity for the New Fourth Army and does not allow them to cross the border. He concluded that the New Fourth Army might occasionally cross the border, but it did not dare to engage in truly large-scale cross-border operations."

 Maeda Yoshio fell into deep thought.

Ota Yuichi said that he naturally knew this situation.

The Kuomintang learned the lessons of the Red Party's Eighth Route Army's massive expansion behind enemy lines after abandoning North China. When it retreated from central China and Jiangnan, it left behind many troops scattered in northern Jiangsu, central Anhui, eastern Anhui, northeastern Anhui, and Henan. In areas such as the Hubei border, central Jiangsu, and the Shanghai-Zhejiang border, officials were dispatched and wandering armed forces were recruited in an attempt to restore control over the occupied areas.

At the same time, the activities of the Red Party armed forces were further reduced, and on this basis, strict activity areas were defined and restricted for the New Fourth Army of the Red Party.

For example, according to the intelligence obtained by the Japanese army, the areas designated by the Kuomintang for the first and second detachments of the New Fourth Army were south of the Yangtze River, east of Wuhu, north of Gaochun, Lishui, and Jintan, and Dan (Yang) Jin ( West of the Tantan Highway, the narrow range is only two hundred miles from east to west and about one hundred miles from south to south. It can even be said that the New Fourth Army in this area will be under the joint encirclement of the Kuomintang army and the Japanese army.

 In addition, the scope of activities of the third detachment of the New Fourth Army is the Qingge River, Tongling, and Fanchang areas.

 The scope of activities of the fourth detachment is the area along the Huainan Railway in central Anhui.

 For this information, the Japanese army has already "easily" detected it through certain channels.

 …

“Ota, you seem to have a different view?” Maeda Yoshio looked at Ohta Yuichi.

"My subordinates have carefully studied the situation of the Red Party's Eighth Route Army in North China." Ohta Yuichi said loudly, "The Red Party is very good at mobilizing ignorant Chinese people to participate in the war of resistance against the empire. The Eighth Route Army is expanding rapidly in North China, and the New Fourth Army will not be able to do so in Jiangnan. They stayed honestly within the narrow area designated for them by the Kuomintang Party."

As he spoke, he used his baton to follow the narrow circle of the New Fourth Army's activity area on the map, "Their current area of ​​activity seems to be surrounded by enemies from both sides. They cannot trust the Kuomintang and will not trust the Kuomintang. If they want to develop, they will Just jump out."

 “What do you think?” Maeda Yoshio asked with interest.

"Whether the New Fourth Army wants to jump out or not, we must be prepared." Yuichi Ohta pointed to a certain point on the map, "Yanling, this is the gate out of Maoshan. Hold here and trap Chen Meiling in Maoshan. "

"Very good." Maeda Yoshio nodded with satisfaction, "I am very happy that you can have such a clear mind and be able to prepare for a rainy day."

As he spoke, he stared at the map for a while.

 “Are you worried about Umemura, division commander?” His beloved general Yuichi Ohta performed well, and Yuichiro Watanabe was happy. At this moment, he finally asked.

 After the empire occupied Wuxi, Wuxi’s resistance never stopped.

Last year alone, 39 guerrilla armed groups with more than 2,500 people, including the Dongbei Tang Night Defense Brigade, emerged in Wuxi’s four townships.

Yixing and Jiangyin also established many local anti-Japanese guerrilla groups of varying sizes, such as the so-called Southern Jiangsu People's Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and the Jiangnan Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army.

 Meicun among them is where the rebels are particularly active.

Those anti-Japanese guerrillas have already caused great disturbance to the Locust Army. If more regular troops of the New Fourth Army enter, the security situation in Wuxi will deteriorate sharply.

 …

“Division commander, intelligence, we need intelligence.” Ohta Yuichi said, “Especially the latest and most accurate intelligence from Plum Village.”

“Do you think the imperial garrison and the local maintenance committees close to the Locust Army can no longer understand the real situation in the place?” Maeda Yoshio frowned and looked at Ohta Yuichi.

"Division Commander, the Chinese people have always had a bad attitude towards the Empire's friendship. They are used to putting on a show to deceive the locust army." Ohta Yuichi said, "What my subordinate means is that we need to go deep into the Chinese people, even in the fields, so that Only then can we understand the truest situation in Plum Village, and even get a glimpse into the internal situation of the rebels."

"The Special High School Section is obsessed with fighting with the military and central unification, and does not pay enough attention to the situation of the New Fourth Army." Yuichiro Watanabe took the opportunity to complain to the Super High School Section, especially to Kikube, who is responsible for the intelligence of the New Fourth Army. Yuichiro Watanabe disliked Kano very much, thinking that he was too arrogant and looked down upon the Red Party and the New Fourth Army.

"I will call Sanbonjiro personally." Maeda Yoshio pondered for a moment and said.

He is also not very satisfied with the work of the Special Higher Education Course on the New Fourth Army.

"Division Commander." Ohta Yuichi suddenly said, "My subordinate has an idea."

 Maeda Yoshio glanced at the major officer, nodded slightly, and signaled him to speak.

"Cheng Qianfan, the deputy chief inspector of the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession, has a trading firm in his hands. The people from the trading firm often go around Shanghai. These people are familiar faces and will not arouse the suspicion of the local people. His subordinates are considering using them to understand the situation in Meicun. ." Ohta Yuichi said.

 “Jiujiu Trading?” Watanabe Yuichiro suddenly asked.

“Exactly.” Ohta Yu nodded.

“Cheng Qianfan appears to be Chinese, but is actually disguised as Kentaro Miyazaki, an agent of the Imperial Special High School. His people can be trusted.” Yuichiro Watanabe explained in a low voice next to Yoshio Maeda.

“Sogas Nei.” Maeda Yoshio nodded slightly. He seemed to have some impression of the name Cheng Qianfan, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.

 …

“How is this Miyazaki capable?” Maeda Yoshio asked.

“Kentaro Miyazaki is cautious and astute. He is a rare talent.” Yuichi Ohta thought for a while and said slightly against his will.

Being greedy for life and afraid of death is considered cautious.

 They are good at making money, so they are naturally smart.

Under the current war situation, Jiujiu Trading's business is actually booming, although this is obviously inseparable from the secret work of the Extra High School and Miyazaki's teacher, Counselor Hyotarō Imamura, and even Ono-kun and others in the army. Terufu, but this is enough to show that Kentaro Miyazaki is very capable.

From this point of view, my evaluation of Kentaro Miyazaki is quite right.

 Maeda Yoshio nodded. He looked at Ohta Yuichi, "In that case, I will leave this matter to you. You must find out the potential enemy situation in the direction of Ume Village as soon as possible."

 “Hai.” Ohta Yu was overjoyed and saluted.

Yuichiro Watanabe is also smiling, which means that the division leader has a very good impression of Yuichi Ohta, and this mission is a test.
