"It's just a bunch of bastards, are they blind, there is a twenty-seventh division stationed in the entire Huaiqing area, and the rest of the main forces are near Shangdu, if the first round of attacks is Mengjin, and the lone army goes deep to attack Luoyang, where the heavy troops are stationed, is there a problem with Okamura Ningji's head, or is there a problem with the head of the commander of the Twelfth Army, Eitaro Uchiyama?" Chen Mingxiang scolded angrily.

It cannot be said that the consideration of the First Theater Command is unreasonable, Luoyang is the location of the Theater Command, and it is also the core place of the National Control Region of Henan Province, but the question, can't you see the current situation on the battlefield?

Crossing the river from Mengjin to Luoyang, the straight-line distance is only more than 20 kilometers, which is an obvious weakness of Luoyang, and for this reason, there are a large number of troops in the first theater of defense and interception across the river.

As for the current situation, the 27th Division did not organize a large number of transports to prepare, nor did it get the cooperation of other troops, and the main force of the 12th Army was far opposite the Shangdu, so it would not be possible to cross the river from Mengjin.

"The military intelligence department of the First Theater Command is also referring to our intelligence, you know best how many Japanese troops there are in the bridgehead, two divisions plus a brigade, that is the main force, and the task of the 27th Division is likely to contain Luoyang's reinforcements to Shangdu and reduce the pressure of Shangdu's offensive and defensive battles." Wang Zhen said on the side.

"Look, this time the first theater of operations will plant a big heel, they don't press the main force to Shangdu, concentrate on dealing with the main force of the 12th Army, and the outflanking of the 37th Division and a brigade, Shangdu will soon fall."

"Send a telegram to the two offices, ordering them to keep an eye on the Japanese divisions and regiments in all areas, and report at any time when they encounter the situation, I don't have hope for the battlefield in Henan Province, don't forget, the two brigades of the 13th Army are still holding back the 15th Group Army and the 19th Group Army!" Chen Mingxiang felt very angry in his heart.

"Then how do I reply to the bureau headquarters? The Military Commission and the First War Zone are still waiting for the news we send to the bureau headquarters! Wang Zhen said in embarrassment.

"Reply to a fart, just send a new copy according to the last message, the intelligence work has reached this level, and they still feel that it is not accurate enough, is it difficult for me to go to the forward command post of the North China Front Army and ask Okamura Ninji, how is Uchiyama Eitaro going to fight this battle?" Chen Mingxiang said angrily.

After Mingyue's telegram was sent to the bureau headquarters, Boss Dai immediately knew Chunfeng's intentions, and he believed that the information he obtained was the most real, so he transferred this information to the chamberlain of the Military Commission, and he didn't bother to fight a lawsuit with the First War Zone.

In addition, a copy was also sent to Tang Enbo of the 31st Group Army, the two are very good friends, and they are also one of the few supporters of Dai Li among the military bigwigs of the Shancheng government.

The matter was quickly confirmed, and Lieutenant General Uchiyama Eitaro, commander of the 12th Army of the Japanese Dispatch Army, took off from Izumi City on 17 April, and by the way, conducted another aerial reconnaissance of the areas of Zhongmu and Bawangcheng, and then landed at Makino Airport, and then arrived at the military command post in Zhandian Town.

On the same day, the command post of the North China Front Command welcomed the commander General Okamura Ninji and senior staff officers, and a major battle was about to begin.

The 37th Division and the 7th Brigade were independently mixed, and the main force crossed the river in four places southeast of Zhongmu as planned to be covered by short-range artillery fire that night.

Because the headquarters of the 12th Army assigned the 40th Independent Engineer Regiment and the 59th and 60th Independent Engineer Corps to the 37th Division in advance, the speed of crossing the river exceeded estimate. 7 Q

At 0:00 a.m. on the 18th, a division crossed the Yellow River and engaged in a fierce battle with the 27th Division of the 15th Provisional Army of the 1st Group Army of the First Theater guarding the area on the opposite bank.

"Boss Dai called, according to the telegram from the headquarters of the 31st Group Army of Wavelength Tang En, your intelligence is completely correct, the enemy really crossed the river from Zhongmu and attacked, the old man was furious about this, and severely reprimanded the theater command for delaying the fighter plane, and the director of the theater military intelligence department was ordered to engage in military law!" Wang Zhen said with the telegram.

"It's over, a division and a brigade attack from the flank, and there are two divisions and a brigade squatting in front of the door, and Shang can't hold it. In fact, I also comforted myself, what kind of character is the commander of the First Theater of Operations, even the Japanese know very well, and it is not difficult for him to expect such a person to hold the hinterland of the Central Plains? Chen Mingxiang said helplessly.

Jiang Dingwen, the commander of the First Theater of Operations, the second-class general of the Shancheng government, known as the old man's Five Tiger Generals, was known as a flying general, except for encircling and suppressing the underground party, he did not show much in the War of Resistance against Japan, and when he was in charge of the northwest, he took bribes on a large scale, and was described as bending the law for personal gain, embezzlement, prostitution and gambling, and his family property was very rich.

This person is rumored to be able to lose the gambling on military salaries, and he is not satisfied with having a wife and concubine, and his behavior is very disorderly, so that he is sick and has become a laughing stock among the generals of the Yamashiro government.

For such a commander guarding the Central Plains, Tang Enbo, who can fight better than him, is relegated to a deputy position, how much hope can he have?

His judgment was completely accurate, and the speed of the retreat in the first theater made everyone feel incredible, and the first brigade of the 227th Wing of the 27th Division launched an attack on Shangdu.

The 110th Division and the 11th Reserve Division of the 85th Army of the 28th Group Army of the First Theater of Operations, the newly formed 42nd Division of the 78th Army, and the strength of three infantry divisions engaged a large battalion of the Japanese army.

"Commissioner Chen, Chen Yaozu, a high-ranking official in Guangdong Province, was assassinated by the Military Unification Bureau!" Wu Songxi said.

Chen Yaozu is Wang Jingwei's brother-in-law, Chen Bijun's younger brother, in Guangdong Province can be described as a big traitor who covers the sky with one hand, Chen Mingxiang has seen this person, but he has no contacts, his sphere of influence is in Central China, North China and outside the Guan, and he really has no influence on Guangdong Province.

But this is also good news, such a traitor should have died a long time ago, but Chen Bijun was accompanying Wang Jingwei to treat his illness in Japan at this time, and it is estimated that he could not attend his brother's funeral.

"Who will take over his position as a high official?" Chen Mingxiang asked curiously.

After Chen Yaozu's death, President Chen Gongbo got in touch with Chairman Wang in Tokyo and designated Chen Chunpu to take over the position of senior official, and no one outside can take advantage." Wu Songxi said with a smile.

Of course Chen Mingxiang understands this, Chen Chunpu is Wang Jingwei's secretary general, but the other identity is Chen Bijun's cousin, and the meat is rotten in his own pot!
