Chen Mingxiang's meaning was naturally to synthesize the information of the Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and Hubei offices, compare the content he obtained, and then think about the bureau headquarters to send electricity, but Wang Zhen, who had been persuading him to be careful, began to worry again.

"Ming Xiang, you can selectively send some of the information you know to the bureau headquarters, as a strategic agent of the Military Command Bureau, no one believes that you have not received any information in your hands, if you don't send it for a long time, in case the situation deteriorates, maybe some people will take your question and say something." Wang Zhen said.

"I don't necessarily believe in other things, but when it comes to shirking responsibility, the commanders of that group are more powerful than the other, but this matter is not in a hurry, the 27th Division of the Japanese army is currently in Henan Province, and it has not converged with the receiving troops, and we still have a buffer period of more than ten days."

"Chief Xue of the Ninth War Zone is currently the most powerful of the generals of the Shancheng government, and the Japanese army's attack on Tanzhou was repulsed by him twice, and the lost troops returned to the same place. Now that the situation has gradually become clear, I do not believe that the military intelligence department of the 9th Theater Command has not discovered the movements of the Japanese army. ”

"Although intelligence is very important, it is also necessary to anticipate the enemy's first opportunity, the first theater of operations is like this, fools know that the purpose of the Japanese army is to open up the north-south transportation line, I think the Military Commission has begun to mobilize troops to Tanzhou to strengthen the defense." Chen Mingxiang said.

Sure enough, after receiving his telegram, Boss Dai then asked the operator to send the deployment of troops in the Ninth War Zone, and the lineup was also very strong.

The 24th Group Army, which was transferred to the 6th Theater to defend Wuling, as well as its 73rd, 74th, 79th, and 100th armies, moved south to Yincheng, Xinkang, Shuangfeng, Baoqing, and other areas, and moved west of the Xiangjiang River and the flank of Tanzhou at any time.

The 26th Army was transferred from the 3rd Theater of Gan Province to Pingxiang, the 62nd Army from Shaozhou in the 7th Theater to Hengzhou, and the 46th Army from the 4th Theater of Gui Province to Hengzhou, which were the reinforcements of the 7th Army.

The defensive strength of the entire Tanzhou and Hengzhou armies was increased to the first, twenty-fourth, twenty-seventh, and thirty-tenth group armies, and there were 52 infantry divisions under the command of 17 corps, as well as other units directly under them.

"If the strength of the Ninth Theater is deployed, more than 50 infantry divisions and directly subordinate troops will add up to 400,000 people, right? Half of them are the elite descendants of the Shancheng government army, such as the four armies under the 24th Group Army, as well as the troops of the 27th Group Army, and so on, all of which have strong combat capability. Wang Zhen was in a relaxed mood.

"That's not what you said, these troops in the Ninth War Zone, the elite account for half at most, the rest of the troops, and a large number of local troops, you know the bad habit of the Shancheng government army eating empty quotas, that is, 300,000 to the top."

"There is a long gap between our troops and the enemy's weapons and equipment, and the number of those who attacked Tanzhou this time has increased greatly compared with before, the third division and the thirteenth division are both permanent horse pulling divisions, with an establishment of more than 20,000 people, the 116th division is a type A division, three division regiments are type B, and the establishment of each division is also more than 18,000 people, and the Japanese army will attack nearly 200,000 people this time."

"It's not that I belittle my own combat effectiveness, it's also true, Yokoyama Yong has so many troops under his command this time, he has a lot of room for maneuver, and the troops are enough to use, the more I look at it, the more worried I am about General Xue, the Japanese army has not broken through Tanzhou several times, but this time the danger is greater than the previous two combined." Chen Mingxiang said.

On 9 May, the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Henan offices sent a telegram to the station, informing them that the 64th and 65th divisions of the Japanese army had withdrawn to Shou County one after another since yesterday evening.

The observation point in Xinyang reported that the 27th Division had joined up with the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade at Queshan and was rapidly advancing towards Jiangcheng.

"What the hell is going on, when the North China Front attacked Henan Province, the information transmission was not only accurate, but also very fast, I even suspect that there was a leak at the top level, although it is unlikely that his actions are his actions, but the North China side also has many of his connections."

"Now that large-scale military operations are being carried out in Central China, the intentions of the imperial army are already obvious, and he has such a deep relationship between the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, it is impossible not to know any news, why has he not received the relevant report this time?" Kitazawa took a circle around his office.

As the director of the intelligence group of the Mei organ, he could not obtain information in person at the risk of his own life, so he arranged the headquarters directly in Puqi in order to provide timely information for the campaign, Puqi is a famous place in Chinese history, and the famous Battle of Chibi took place here.

In addition, this will also be the location of the headquarters of the 11th Army, and when the battle is about to start, the commander of the 11th Army, Isamu Yokoyama, will bring his staff officers here to command the operation.

It was not a day or two since the Japanese intelligence agencies infiltrated the Yamashiro government and army, and the Military Command Bureau caught them every day, and they did not find out all those Japanese spies.

Before the 12th Army of the North China Front launched an attack on the First Theater of Operations, Bei Zeping received secret information that the Military Command Bureau had detected the movements of the North China Front in advance, and had repeatedly provided information to the Military Commission.

This is definitely impossible, the headquarters is all Japanese, and Kitazawa Ping is also habitual, and the target is Chen Mingxiang. He knew that the Huatong Trading Company had a deep interest in purchasing a large number of urgently needed materials for Central China and Shanghai, especially salt and coal, in North China, whether it was the Consulate General in Beiping, the Special Service Department of the North China Front Headquarters, or the gendarmerie.

Of course, such a stubborn hanging is also contrary to the principle of intelligence work, and the key point is that there is no evidence to show that Chen Mingxiang has close contacts with North China, and at most he goes to visit every New Year's holiday, and he usually goes there very few times.

Kitazawa Ping is a very difficult opponent, although he arranged a female spy in the Marat villa and got the news that the military commander was also spying on Chen Mingxiang, so he temporarily gave up the pursuit of Chen Mingxiang, but if he has the opportunity, he still has to test how deep this target is in the water.

The 11th Army's military operation against the Ninth Theater provided him with the best help in verifying Chen Mingxiang's identity.
