"The information that Ono Osa revealed to you is the logistics transportation plan of the Eleventh Army, and whether his prediction of the battle is accurate or not still needs to be verified by the army's intelligence."

"Compared with the ongoing battlefield in Henan Province, the upcoming battlefield in Central China is more critical, this is a battle that threatens the rear, Boss Dai has sent two consecutive telegrams, asking you and the direct station to make every effort to collect relevant intelligence."

"In view of the fact that the First Theater Command did not listen to the intelligence of the directly subordinate station, resulting in itself falling into passivity, Chief Xue of the Ninth Theater sent continuous telegrams to the bureau headquarters to inquire about the movements of the Japanese army collected, and the Military Commission also asked Boss Dai to sort out the information every day and make a special report." Wang Zhen said.

Was the defeat in the first theater really caused by a miscalculation of intelligence?

Wrong, of course the answer is no, the key is that the theater command has no determination to fight to the death with the enemy, and the large forces of the Japanese army are squatting in front of the Shangdu Gate, with a division and a brigade on the side, and in such a situation, what is it still shouting Mengjin is urgent, isn't this nonsense?

However, the accuracy of the intelligence of the Military Command Bureau has also been valued by the commanders of the major theaters, and the performance of the military intelligence department under the First Theater Command has made these theater bosses no longer dare to believe their intelligence officers, or the agents of the Military Command Bureau are more professional, and they are now cooperating with the US Navy!

Boss Dai's favorite thing to see is that the Military Command Bureau is valued by the military, which makes it much smoother for the Military Command Bureau to install eyes and ears in the army, and it also completes the old man's explanation, and the army is the main foundation for maintaining the Shancheng government.

"I know that this matter is very important and must be treated with caution, and intelligence work is like this, but I can hear that the navy is now discouraged, and coupled with my long-standing relationship with them, the so-called principle of intelligence secrecy has been selectively forgotten."

"Ono Osa said that these are more credible, logistics and transportation plans are the most critical part of a campaign, since he said that the deadline is May 23, then he can basically be sure that this is a very close day to the time of the attack."

"I will verify the relationship with the army, this time I have a relationship with the two division commanders, and when the time is right, I will go and walk around, I believe there will be a good harvest." Chen Mingxiang said.

The 64th Division and the 65th Division under the 13th Army, he "gifted" a batch of cigarettes and cane sugar, which naturally won the gratitude of the division commander.

The Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Dispatch Army, the Minister of the Shanghai Army, and the Minister of Special Services of the 13th Army, Major General Yoshitaro Kawamoto, gave even more information.

This time, it was not Chen Mingxiang who took the initiative to ask him to meet, but he took the initiative to invite Chen Mingxiang to dinner, accompanied by a Japanese lieutenant general, the division commander of the 70th Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Hangzhou, Takayuki Uchida, and his chief of staff, Shunji Nakagawa.

"Chen Jun, this time, the 64th Division and the 65th Division of our 13th Army each transferred a brigade to Anhui Province to participate in military operations, and you gave a batch of condolence materials, which were highly praised by the officers and soldiers of the imperial army, cigarettes and cane sugar, which are all materials in short supply at the moment."

"General Uchida came to the Shanghai Headquarters this time to coordinate the transportation of combat materials, and specially proposed that he hoped that Chen Jun could support a batch of cigarettes and cane sugar of the 70th Division, and I also found it difficult to speak, but General Uchida will soon go to the front line to fight, as the deputy chief of general staff and the minister of the Shanghai Army, I can only ask my brother to come over and talk, and I can support some."

"Of course, I won't let the old friends of the empire pay in vain, after all, you have been serving the imperial army, this time, I will specifically order the Central Reserve Bank to allocate special funds to you, and in a few days Minister Zhou will come to Shanghai, and I will hand it over to him to deal with." Yoshitaro Kawamoto said.

Cigarettes and cane sugar are the most urgently needed things for the Japanese army at present, and most of the combat units have been cut off from supply. The inferior cigarettes distributed by Japan were not used to smoking by the Japanese army themselves, and they could not be compared with the cigarettes of Chen Mingxiang's tobacco factory, the taste was too far behind, bitter and astringent, and it was particularly choking to the eyes.

As for sucrose, this thing is of a relatively high grade, with priority given to the officers of the Japanese army, and the sucrose raw materials in Central China cannot be shipped from Southeast Asia, and the southwest is often out of stock, resulting in higher and higher costs.

Although these two things are not war materials, they are very important necessities, cigarettes can refresh the mind, and sucrose can replenish the body's energy.

But for Chen Mingxiang, isn't this just some cigarettes and cane sugar, the cigarettes are produced by his own cigarette factory, and the cane sugar is sent by the bureau headquarters, so he doesn't care about these things. What concerns is when the military operations of the 70th Division began and what scale.

"My tobacco factory, tobacco leaves are basically from Xuchang, all the generals should know, but now Xuchang is fighting, the supply of tobacco leaves is a bit problematic, if I want to meet the needs of the 70th Division, I have to intercept the goods to North China and outside the customs."

"General Uchida, may I ask where your division will depart from this time, how many people will there be, and when will it arrive at the latest?" Chen Mingxiang said.

Of course, Uchida Takayuki knew that Xuchang was fighting, and the Japanese troops of the 12th Army of the North China Front were chasing the troops of the first theater of the Shancheng government everywhere, claiming to be the next city in one day, although Xuchang had not yet been taken, but the main force had advanced to the surroundings of Xuchang, and the war was only a matter of two days.

"To assist the 11th Army in this operation, the 13th Army Headquarters will transfer four brigades of the 62nd Brigade, two brigades from the 61st Brigade, two brigades from the 65th Brigade of the 60th Division stationed in Suzhou, plus engineers, baggage, artillery, etc., and you will prepare according to the number of 10,000 people."

"As for the time, it is still relatively abundant, it will be sent to Jinhua before June 5, more than a month of preparation, it should be enough, we are going to attack Quzhou this time, in fact, it is not permanent, and in the future, we will have to ask Chen Jun for more help in the living materials of our division." Takayuki Uchida said.

It's not that he doesn't have the principle of confidentiality, but Chen Mingxiang's identity is here, and he has the introduction of Yoshitaro Kawamoto, so it's more casual.

"I tried my best to send 100,000 packs of cigarettes to the 70th Division, according to the standard of two taels per person, one ton of sucrose, an additional box of high-grade cigarettes for the division headquarters, 100 catties of high-grade fine cane sugar, and 100 catties of Biluochun tea, not that I was unwilling to give, but the production of cigarettes was limited, and I would send more in the future."

"In addition, I also have to make a request, I need the command to solve some gasoline, the transportation of the convoy is a trouble, and no oil is scrap copper and rotten iron." Chen Mingxiang said.
