Chapter 1131: Prediction of the Battle

If someone else says this kind of thing, he doesn't dare to believe it if he dares to say it, but Chen Mingxiang is different, and there has never been a time when he has not fulfilled what he said, and his credit is unquestionable. Moreover, Chen Mingxiang's cigarette factory is located in Qiaocheng, which is more convenient to transport.

The two division commanders and the two brigade commanders heard Kawamoto Yosataro relay Chen Mingxiang's words, and their attitudes suddenly changed greatly, and they happily pulled him to drink two glasses of wine, and said a lot of words of thanks.

At the point where the war has been fought to the present point, although the total strength of the Japanese army is skyrocketing, the standard of living is plummeting, cigarettes, tea and cane sugar are all standard luxuries, and officers of the rank of lieutenant cannot enjoy them at any time, let alone ordinary soldiers.

Chen Mingxiang's tobacco factory is also the most famous tobacco factory in central China, using high-quality Xuchang tobacco leaves, and the taste is many times better than the inferior cigarettes distributed by the Japanese military department.

And Chen Mingxiang also gained something, and he basically judged that the offensive time of the North China Front should be in the middle of the year.

Why? The troops of the 13th Army were not the main force of the campaign, but were used to contain the Shancheng government troops at the junction of Anhui Province and Henan Province, and could not reinforce the main battlefield.

The 65th Division stationed in Pengcheng and the 64th Division stationed in Yangzhou only began to be dispatched in late April, and considering the effect of containment, the 12th Army of the North China Front must have launched an offensive in the middle of the month, which was a crucial point in time.

"As for the Eleventh Army, it should also be launched at the same time as our Thirteenth Army, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked casually.

"Only when the 11th Army takes over the task of the 27th Division, at the end of April and early May, will the 11th Independent Infantry Brigade set off from Xinyang, which is a little later than us." Yyoshi Ota said unconcernedly.

The results of this reception exceeded Chen Mingxiang's expectations, and he obtained the battle plans of the Japanese 11th Army Headquarters and the 13th Army Headquarters, and determined the approximate time of the North China Front Army and the two army headquarters.

For Chen Mingxiang, even if it is a hundred times more materials, it is worth exchanging these few points of information, and giving early warning to the Shancheng government in advance can effectively help the armies of Henan Province and Anhui Province to smash the enemy's strategic offensive.

After the general direction of the first round of Japanese attacks was determined, the operational plan of the Military Commission of the Yamashiro Government was well formulated.

The old man has just promoted Chen Mingxiang to the major general of the Quanxu Army of the Shancheng government, and he has to show his value, which is also to declare that he, a major general-level agent, is irreplaceable!

"Bureau, I just received an urgent military information from Mingyue, first of all, the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Shimomura, who was transferred back to China to serve as the commander of the Western Army, and was succeeded by Yongjin Zuobi, deputy chief of the general staff of the dispatch army and minister of the army of Shanghai City."

"He consolidated all the information he received and confirmed that the combat operations of the 12th Army of the Japanese North China Front would begin in mid-April, and the reason for this judgment was that the following two conditions were precipitated."

"The 71st Infantry Brigade of the 65th Division and the 71st Infantry Brigade of the 64th Division under the 13th Army Headquarters launched an offensive in the vicinity of Shou County in late April to contain our 15th Army and 19th Group Army there."

"The 11th Independent Infantry Brigade under the 11th Army Headquarters, at the end of April or early May, attacked from Xinyang to receive the 27th Division of Yoshiharu Takeshita, which was transferred from Jinzhou." At two o'clock in the morning, Pan Qiwu hurried to Dai Li's office.

After Chen Mingxiang attended the drinking party, it was not too early when he returned to Mara Villa, and when the information was sorted out, the number of words was compressed, and Wang Zhen sent it to the radio team of the bureau headquarters, didn't it have to be a little more?

After Pan Qiwu received the message, he had to check the information sent and turn the short text into rich content, he couldn't wait for Boss Dai to ask questions, but he didn't know anything.

"Great, it's really good, the spring breeze has never let me down, he is worthy of the trust of the commission, I will report to the commission's office later, according to this telegram immediately began to study the response plan, I can't believe it, this is the Japanese army's battle plan, it belongs to top-secret intelligence, how did he get it?" When Dai Li heard the news, he immediately became refreshed.

Chen Mingxiang did not give an exact time, which only increased the credibility of the intelligence, and if he could get the operational plan of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, perhaps Dai Li would doubt the reliability of the information.

It is precisely because he only has an approximate time that this reflects the value of his strategic agent, which has been analyzed through a lot of intelligence, and has put in a lot of work for this, and is worthy of the military rank given to him by the Yamashiro government.

"Chunfeng put forward a request, and the bureau headquarters sent a batch of cane sugar to Shanghai as soon as possible, which was the condolences he promised to the 65th and 64th divisions, and distributed according to the number of the two infantry brigades." Pan Qiwu said.

"I remember that these two divisions should be C-divisions, right?" Boss Dai asked.

"The 64th and 65th Divisions are both two-brigade divisions and regiments that were expanded on the basis of independent mixed brigades on 1 May of the 18th year of Japan's Showa era, and the 71st Brigade is relatively well organized, with baggage troops, engineers, signal troops, and field hospitals in addition to the four infantry brigades, but the 69th Brigade and Regiment only have four infantry brigades, each with a strength of 5,100 men." Pan Qiwu had checked the information, and he opened his mouth to say it.

Being able to become Boss Dai's secretary in Room A, and being able to become the secretary and director of the pivotal Special Technical Cooperation Institute, Pan Qiwu didn't come up by sycophancy, and this ability alone reflects the reason for his success, and he knows the situation of the Japanese army well, which is an answer that is enough to add points.

"That's it, give ten tons of cane sugar to Chunfeng as soon as possible, let him watch the distribution by himself, Sichuan and Yunnan's specialties should also be more, don't be so stingy, choose some good things to come up with, he is busy collecting intelligence during this time, and our bureau headquarters must give support."

"In addition, call him back, the bureau headquarters will record a special merit, don't return all the materials, the bureau headquarters will write it off by itself, I guess, the commission will also issue him a commendation order, and now the intelligence department of the first theater of war still can't figure out the east, west, north and south!"

"The last time Chief Tang came to Shancheng, he deliberately had a meal with me, and he was scolding these intelligence officers of the theater headquarters for being rice bucket bastards, and the enemy was about to be overwhelmed by soldiers, but he couldn't come up with any reliable information." Dai Li said.
