Chapter 1146: The Second Phase of the Battle Begins

The incident that occurred in Zuibaichi last time almost damaged the important leaders of the two intelligence stations, the telegraph operator and the radio station from the bureau headquarters, in the hands of the Political Security Bureau, so this was a stain on the intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai.

As an intelligence agency, it is impossible to be without mistakes, but the trouble is that I have not found what is wrong, and what is even more troublesome is that this matter is still solved by the brother units in the work of the Political Security Bureau.

Boss Dai was furious, and the Operations Department of the headquarters of the bureau specially formulated a plan to ask the guerrillas of the Loyal National Salvation Army to assist, and the leaders of all the intelligence stations in the suburbs of Shanghai felt extremely pressured, and their future in the Military Command Bureau was decided by this boss.

"I will be responsible for the reception of the guerrillas of the Loyal Salvation Army this time, and I will rush to the Bodhi Temple tomorrow to make arrangements in advance, and it will take a lot of effort to hide a team of dozens of people, and the key is that it is difficult to find temporary accommodation."

"Some time ago, the Japanese army suffered the loss of the underground party guerrillas, and lost dozens of people, and the special high school strengthened the intelligence collection in the suburbs, and I took some money to buy a batch of food and drink in advance and put it there. Qian Yuguang said with a smile.

Just when the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station, under the command of the bureau headquarters, joined forces with the Loyal National Salvation Army to ambush the Political Security Bureau and the Japanese military police, the battlefield in Yu Province became tense again.

Although the Japanese army was at the speed of conquering a city and county in one day, it was not so easy to achieve the predetermined combat objectives, and the boss of the First Theater Command was thin, but there was still desperate resistance from troops from all over the country.

The core point of the battle to the end, that is, Luoyang, where the headquarters of the First Theater of Operations is located, in the national control area of Henan Province, Luoyang's status is better than that of Shangdu, this is the core city, the current administrative and military center, and naturally it has become the ultimate task of the 12th Army of the Japanese Army.

"The North China Front Army was transferred to the 63rd Division of Lieutenant General Changde, deputy commander stationed in Beipingye, the 67th Brigade and the 9th Independent Infantry Brigade under its jurisdiction, as well as the 12th Field Supplementary Brigade stationed in Shimen, Hebei Province, with a total strength of 10 infantry brigades, and transported them to Gongxian County east of Luoyang."

"Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Jinyang, Shanxi, mobilized the independent mixed 3rd Brigade stationed in Laoxian County and the 59th Brigade of the 69th Division stationed in Yuncheng, a total of eight infantry brigades, forcibly crossed the Yellow River to the area of Mianchi west of Luoyang, and captured Mianchi on the 11th."

"This time, the North China Intelligence Department can be regarded as showing the spirit of not being afraid of death, and the intelligence officers from all over the country are actually bold enough to follow the Japanese army to observe, and someone is responsible for transmitting information at any time, one link after another, and when this battle is completed, they must be given good credit." Wang Zhen said.

"We, the intelligence officers, are desperately collecting intelligence, but those commanders are retreating all the way, and this intelligence is not of much use, and the army is defeated!"

"The enemy mobilized heavy troops to encircle Luoyang, the purpose is not only to capture the city, but also to encircle and annihilate the main force of the first theater of operations, of course, with the current speed of the mountain city army, the Japanese army can't catch up with the car, you transfer the information to the bureau headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.

The Japanese army transferred a large number of troops from Jin Province to participate in the campaign against Henan Province, and the rear was bound to be empty, but the Eighth Theater would rather use hundreds of thousands of troops to look at the base areas of the underground party than use its troops to fight against the Japanese army, and the old man's fear of the underground party even exceeded his resentment against the Japanese army, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.

At 19:30 p.m. on the evening of 18 May, a brigade of the 6th Wing of the 6th Brigade of the Field Heavy Artillery under the command of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army mobilized 12 150-mm howitzers to kick off the offensive and defensive battle in Luoyang, which ended on 25 May.

But the North China Front's operations were not over, and the First Army, stationed in Jin Province, was then engaged in an offensive against the western Henan region.

On 23 May, the command post of Vice Admiral Isamu Yokoyama, commander of the 11 th Army, was moved from the Jiangcheng Headquarters to Puqi.

On 25 May, General Shunroku Hata, commander-in-chief of the Dispatch Army, and Lieutenant General Taikuro Matsui, chief of the General Staff, were stationed in Nanjing.

On the same day, eight divisions and one brigade of the Japanese army, as well as the units directly under them, arrived at their predetermined destinations one after another, and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense.

Sure enough, on the 27th, the Japanese army began a military operation at night, directly attacking the defense area of the 20th Army of the 27th Group Army, and after the August 13 Anti-Japanese War, the largest offensive of the Japanese army in the Chinese battlefield also kicked off.

"The headquarters of the bureau called, the Japanese army really started its military operation on 27 May, and is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the 20th Army, the Military Commission will give you a meritorious service, and the Ninth Theater Command will commend the meritorious personnel of the Military Command Bureau, thank you for the timely delivery of information, and avoid passivity in tactics."

"Boss Dai replied, in view of the excellent intelligence collection work of the direct station for this campaign, with the approval of the Military Commission, Zhan Sen and Jiang Anhua were promoted to major generals, awarded the third-class Baoding Medal, with a bounty of 2,000 US dollars, and the meritorious personnel of the two offices were each rewarded with a bounty of 200 US dollars, which was paid in advance by our direct station. Wang Zhen said with a smile.

"Look at my mix, even the division chief under him has become a general, and Boss Dai is too casual, how can I discipline the stationmaster?" Chen Mingxiang said.

Of course, this is a joke, his subordinates have been rewarded for meritorious service, and he is naturally good as a leader, and the power of the direct station has increased a little.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, these people will be his descendants, if there is no recommendation from him, the stationmaster, who has made so many contributions, has such a close relationship with the headquarters, and there are too many qualified colonels in the Military Control Bureau, why haven't those people been promoted?

"Are you still jealous? They are all veterans of the Military Command Bureau, they joined the secret service during the period, Zhan Sen has made meritorious contributions in eradicating traitors, Jiang Anhua is even more outstanding, and he has taken advantage of the direct station, and it is not abrupt to be promoted to major general this time. ”

"No matter how powerful the two of them are, they are only ranks, and they dare to grin at you, the stationmaster? I don't know if there is any hope of being promoted to Major General Quanxu in this life, or if Quanxu will reach the top of the rank of colonel. ”

"Besides, Boss Dai is a major general, but are there still fewer major generals in the Military Unification Bureau? Just look at our side, Chen Gongshu and Luo Mengxiang were both major generals in the past, and after the revocation of the secret service headquarters, there are at least a few former major generals of the Military Command Bureau who are idle, such as Xiao Jiajia, Wang Zhongqi, Li Shishi, and Wang Tianmu, counting these six. Wang Zhen gave him a blank look and said.
