Chapter 539: Attack from the north and south

Tian Qi put down the newspaper and stretched.

Outside, snowflakes are falling.

After so many days in Nanjing, there is nothing to do, all day is to read the newspaper, drink tea, and chat with Sakurai Gongpu.

I read all the newspapers in Japanese.

Originally, Tian Qi learned Japanese and English from Miao Chengfang, and he could barely have a conversation.

However, now he reads Japanese newspapers all day long, and when he encounters something he can't read, he asks Sakurai Gongura or other Japanese people for advice, which has greatly improved his Japanese level.

Well, when is it good to make up for English again.

"Tian Sang." Sakurai walked in excitedly.

"What's the happy event, Sakurai-kun?"

"Of course it's a big event." Sakurai said excitedly: "My friend Watanabe Shiqing came to Nanjing from the front, and I haven't seen him for a long time. Now he's reporting to work, and I'll have a dinner for him in the evening. Tian San, come with me. ”

Tian Qi originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as he heard that he was back from the front line, he immediately agreed without thinking.

……

Watanabe was under the jurisdiction of Kiyoshi and Shaosa, and was mainly responsible for logistics and supplies at the front.

He had a very close relationship with Sakurai Gongpu, and he had probably heard the story between Tian Qi and Sakurai Gongpu, so his attitude towards this Chinese was not bad.

"Watanabe-kun, how's the battle going on at the front?" After three rounds of drinking, Sakurai Gongura still asked what he wanted to know the most.

"It wasn't particularly smooth." Watanabe did not hide anything: "After the battles of Shanghai and Nanjing, the determination of the Shina people to resist is still very tenacious. Our 13th Division was in a stalemate with the enemy at the Huai River, but was stubbornly resisted by the 51st and 59th Armies of China. ”

Sakurai nodded.

Originally, I thought that if Nanjing, the capital of China, was lost, the morale of the squadron would be low, and the defeat of China was just around the corner.

But I didn't expect that the squadron still maintained high morale. Moreover, it continued to increase troops to the front line, and I heard that the Yunnan army was also urgently moving closer to Xuzhou.

"I'm here to collect food." Watanabe Shiqing immediately said: "We have decided to carry out grain collection in Changzhou, Changshu, Wuxi, Kunshan and other places, and we also need the strong cooperation of Sakurai-kun." ”

"Ah, even if you are not my friend, as an emperor, this is also my business." Sakurai then asked, "How much grain will be levied?" ”

Watanabe took a sip of wine: "Every day, we must ensure 47,000 catties of polished rice, 15,000 catties of refined wheat, and 15,000 catties of fresh meat......

"So much?" Sakurai Goura gasped.

"Yes, and each time it is delivered to the battlefield, it will take at least three days' volumes." Watanabe Shiqing's expression was a little serious: "For this reason, the General Staff Headquarters has specially set up a rice grain control committee, and considered gradually handing over the task of grain collection to Mitsui Property Company and Mitsubishi Corporation. ”

So much grain?

Tian Qi was drinking casually, but the conversation between the two Japanese clearly fell into his ears.

"Tian Qi, you have to keep in mind...... As an undercover agent, you can't always expect to get a piece of important information quickly. Where is the source of our intelligence? It's not like opening a safe and stealing a piece of information. Every word that everyone says, you have to keep it in your mind and analyze it. ”

That's how Miao Chengfang taught Tian Qi, a student.

Now, it's time to take a closer look.

The daily food standard for a Japanese soldier is 660 grams of polished rice, 210 grams of refined wheat, 210 grams of fresh meat, and 600 grams of vegetables...... 0.08 liters of soy sauce, 5 grams of salt, 20 grams of sugar, 3 grams of tea leaves, 0.4 liters of sake...... 20 cigarettes......

The food standard of the Japanese army was very high, and there was rice to eat at every meal, and even the seasoning had relevant regulations.

Well, 47,000 catties of polished rice per day......

Almost 36,700 Japanese troops were to be supplied.

Formed a special food collection committee?

The Japanese army on the front line already had a special supply unit to supply.

There is only one possibility:

The Japanese army wants to increase its troops!

The strength of two divisions!

And it is the main division of the Japanese army!

At present, the Japanese army has concentrated 5 divisions, 2 brigades, and 2 detachments on the front!

In other words, the Japanese army still feels that its strength is insufficient, and it will continue to increase the strength of at least two more divisions!

Ensure at least three days' worth of each shipment.

The Japanese army is ready to fight a big battle!

Also, most of the food provided by the Japanese army before was supplied by Taiwan and North Korea, and now as the war continues, they have begun to set their sights on the new occupied areas!

Sakurai Gongura and Watanabe Shiqing would never have imagined that the seemingly ordinary grain collection they chatted about casually was keenly captured by the Chinese around them.

Even how many troops the Japanese army is ready to add, Tian Qi has already calculated!

"Watanabe Shaosa." Tian Qi raised the wine cup: "I always hear Sakurai Shaozo say, you are his good friend, I respect you." ”

"Ah, thank you, Tian San." Watanabe took a sip: "I've often heard Sakurai-kun mention you in letters, and you're even his lifesaver with the whole team." ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Tian Qi smiled faintly: "It is my duty to serve the Great Japanese Empire. In terms of food requisition, I will also do my best to assist Watanabe Shaosa. It's just that if the road is far away, I am afraid that I will be attacked by Chinese guerrillas. ”

"Yes, so the military department has set up a special escort team to deal with the guerrillas of the Chinese people." Watanabe nodded: "My task is to ensure that the grain can be safely transported from Jiangsu to Shandong. ”

Shandong?

Tian Qi immediately put on a look of incomprehension: "Jiangsu is a province with a large output, but Shandong is not bad." ”

"Shandong, there are too many troops in China, and it is not easy to collect grain." Speaking of this, Watanabe explained carefully: "Jiangsu, many places are known as the land of fish and rice, and we have basically controlled Jiangsu ......"

The Japanese army is launching a fierce offensive in Anhui.

Now Shandong?

Two divisions?

North-South Strike!

Tian Qi suddenly figured it out.

The Japanese army is preparing to launch an offensive in Lunan and launch a north-south attack on the ** defense line at the same time!

For the Japanese Army, there is no concept of who is in charge and who is the second in battle. Then, the Japanese troops on both the north and south fronts were the main attackers.

The pressure on the line will increase dramatically!

A top-secret military intelligence was unexpectedly cracked by Tian Qi at a simple private banquet!

I didn't need to see any information, just by virtue of the conversation between two Japanese officers.

Intelligence work does not always have to go deep into the tiger's den, every time it has to be thrilling. Piece each piece back together and a complete pattern will appear!

And Tian Qi is gradually entering the role at this moment......

……

Tian Qi walked alone on the streets of Nanjing.

Nanjing, which had just been ravaged, had somewhat regained a little bit of vitality with the arrival of the New Year.

Snow began to fall on the 28th of the lunar month, and the people of Nanjing, who were suffering, were still preparing for the upcoming Spring Festival. Despite the sinister environment, people are still looking forward to the Spring Festival.

There are also some New Year's goods available on the street, but the price is ridiculously expensive, and it is no longer affordable for ordinary people.

In the sporadic sound of firecrackers, it finally ushered in Chinese New Year's Eve, but for the Chinese in Nanjing, this year was worrying, especially young girls have always been in danger, and the Japanese have been robbing people everywhere at night.

In anticipation and apprehension, Nanjing people completed the New Year's mark and ushered in the new year.

On the first day of the new year, people began to desperately fire artillery, which is in stark contrast to the sporadic fire on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Firecrackers have the role of driving ghosts in the definition of the Chinese Spring Festival, and people hope that by setting off firecrackers, they can exchange for abundant food and clothing in the coming year, and the family will be happy, and there is no need to live in such a fearful life.

In particular, it can get rid of those "evil ghosts" that harm Nanjing!

When people meet, they no longer say "Wishing you prosperity" and "auspicious wishes", but simply say "New Year's peace", which contains the greatest expectations.

Ma Xiangxing.

This high-grade hotel in Nanjing in the past is now gone, where is there still a little bit of the appearance of the day?

Thinking of the brothers drinking and eating meat happily in Ma Xiangxing at that time, Tian Qi's heart was sour.

On the left wall, count down the eighth row, and count the third brick on the left.

Tian Qi looked to the side to make sure there was no one.

He pried open the brick and put a ball of paper inside.

Then when he was done, he shoved the brick back and immediately hid to the side.

This is the ninth point of contact.

Every day, an informant checks it out here.

There is no need to worry that the information will fall into the hands of the Japanese, and even if the information is sent to the Japanese now, the Japanese will not know what is written on it.

There are still 15 minutes left until the fixed time for obtaining information every day......

……

Lao Biao looked to both sides, pulled out the bricks, and his eyes lit up.

It's been more than two months, and as a surviving senior intelligence officer, this is the first time he has discovered intelligence here......

……

It's Lao Biao.

Lao Biao was the squadron leader at the beginning, but now he is an intelligence officer?

Tian Qi saw clearly, Lao Biao was still trustworthy, and he could rest assured......

……

A triangle is drawn on the intelligence.

Top Secret Intelligence!

Lao Biao didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and immediately moved out of bed, pried open the floor below, and took out a radio station from it.

By the way, he took out his pistol and set it aside.

It will be exposed at any time, but the information with a triangle must be sent out at the first time.

Even if you give your life for it, you won't hesitate to do it!

……

"Assistant Wu, the No. 19 intelligence officer of the word sends a telegram to contact!"

"What?"

Wu Jingyi immediately came to the telegram: "Receive it immediately!" ”

There has been no intelligence officer for a long time, and electricity has been generated from Nanjing.

There must be significant information.

“8… 9、15……”

No one understands what these numbers mean.

"Alright, give it to me." Wu Jingyi took the telegram.

Only Director Meng knows the true meaning of these numbers!

……

Lao Biao let out a long sigh of relief.

He shoved the note into his mouth, then chewed it and swallowed it hard......

……

"Director Meng, top-secret information on the nineteenth place!"

"Give it to me!"
