Although Wuhan was occupied by the Japanese army, the fire of two days and two nights had burned Wuhan to ruins, and the Japanese army had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain the normal operation of the entire city for four months. Because of this, the commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, Tada Jun, did not have more time and energy to consider Jiang Haoran's problem, so that Jiang Haoran was given four precious months to let the 331 base begin to take shape.

Wuhan Xingying, which was originally the old residence of the highest military headquarters of the National Government, is also the only relatively well-preserved building after the war, and has become the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese Wuhan garrison at this time.

At the circular conference table, Tada Jun, commander of the 11th Japanese Army, and Isamu Kinoshita, chief of staff, were studying the intelligence sent from Zhuzhou and the aerial photos taken by the plane.

Intelligence shows that the Nanshan Independent Brigade stationed in Zhuzhou is the brigade commander Jiang Haoran, the chief of staff Liu He, and the deputy brigade commander Liu Dakun. The strength of the troops is more than 10,000, and at present it has been discovered that there are cavalry regiments, artillery regiments, and infantry regiments, and all regiments are conducting intense drills.

Zhuzhou Town has rapidly developed from a small town of more than 30,000 people to a medium-sized city with a population of no less than 300,000. Constant flow of vehicles transports coal, ore, steel, ash and other materials into a heavily guarded mountainous area day and night. Because the Nanshan Independent Brigade has a particularly powerful special service battalion, our agents cannot penetrate at all, and even close to the mountainous area, so the situation inside is not clear. But, strangely, the members of the special battalion do not look like people from the military, nor like the military commanders of the government of China, they are secretive, it is difficult to distinguish, and once they are glued, almost no one escapes, so far, no one from our side has ever seen the members of the special battalion, and we do not know any information about their leader.

"Yaga! What is this Jiang Haoran going to do? Is it possible to establish a military base for heavy industry in Zhuzhou? Tada's face was angry, and there was a hint of disbelief.

Chief of Staff Kinoshita Yongyang raised the aerial photo in his hand and said: "There is no problem from the aerial photo, the whole area is steep and mountainous, the vegetation is lush, and there is no trace of Yan zhòng being vandalized, but judging from the information of the special agents, it is completely possible." ”

"Humph!" Tada Jun let out a heavy nasal voice, not knowing whether it was disdain or disdain, and then asked, "How is Jiang Haoran's information collected?" ”

Hearing Tada Jun ask this, a staff officer beside Kinoshita Yu, hurriedly opened a paper folder in his hand and handed a stack of thick materials to Kinoshita Yong.

Kinoshita Yong immediately opened it and read it one by one: "Jiang Haoran, male, twenty-four years old, graduated from the Infantry Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, his ancestral home is Xiangtan, and he has a father and a brother at home??????? Kinoshita Yong started with Jiang Haoran's Nanshan Campaign, and talked all the way to the Jiujiang hijacking, which lasted nearly an hour, and looked at Tada Jun's face becoming more and more ugly, knowing that the Jiujiang hijacking was his sore spot, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Okamura-kun once commented that this person is a rare tactical genius, and he is indeed worthy of this title based on his various aspects, he not only has high tactical literacy, but also has outstanding individual ability, and is fierce, there is absolutely no word 'prisoner' in his eyes, and even the soldiers he brings, we have no precedent for capturing them so far. The meticulousness of his mind is even more breathtaking, and his successful breakthrough from Mahuiling is incomprehensible to us. I specially invited battlefield analysis experts from the headquarters, and only then did I discover the mystery. He actually escaped from the Qianzhang Cliff, which is more than 200 meters high, in fact, we also thought about this factor at first, but we found that the troops had traces of reaching the bottom of the Qianzhang Cliff, but they found footprints coming down, and the footprints basically matched the number of people who went up, so we did not delve into it. According to the depth of the footprints, experts believe that half of them are retreating up the mountain, hundreds of people climb the cliff, and pass through the burned woods on rainy days, but they did not leave any stains on the cliff, until the experts climbed the cliff, only to find that there were rope marks left on the edge, and also found the gallows, only to understand that hundreds of people were naked and were hanged from the top of the cliff. ”

"According to you, there is nothing flawed in this man?" Tada Jun's tone was strange, obviously dissatisfied with Kinoshita Yong's blind advocacy of Jiang Haoran, which was Yan Zhan Zhòng's ambition to destroy his own prestige.

"Flaws? If you have to say that there is, this person's lust is his only flaw, he has two stunning women around him, and even their chairman has specially found a squire for him, six girls, all of whom are national and beautiful. ”

"Yo Si! A man's lust is nothing, but for a soldier, it can be fatal, I think I sent a top-secret telegram to Tokuhara Hikenji, asking him to send the 'Flower of the Imperial Army' Nanzao Yunzi out to deal with him, cheap this hateful China pig, and let him die in Miss Yunzi's gentle crotch! Tada's eyes suddenly became gloomy, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"This is not for His Excellency the General to worry about, in fact, Tsuchihara-kun ??????" Kinoshita glanced at the staff officers around him, as if he felt that he couldn't say this in public, and then put his mouth to Tada's ear and muttered, and the two immediately laughed.

The two laughed, and Kinoshita Yuyu asked: "Since it has been determined that there is a heavy industry base in Zhuzhou, it is better to let the planes carry out a few indiscriminate bombings, destroy Jiang Haoran's hard work, and him to death."

Tada Jun snorted coldly: "Blow it up? What a pity! What they built was exactly what the imperial army lacked, and if it could be used by the imperial army, wouldn't it be better to achieve the effect of striking at him. ”

"Ahh Are you saying that we will seize Zhuzhou? ”

"What? You think it's incredible, don't you? As he spoke, Tada Jun picked up the baton on the table, turned around and pointed to the giant military map on the wall and said: "Chief of Staff, you see, the entire Zhuzhou is a hilly area, although the mountains are dense and forested, but they are not precipitous, and there is almost no danger to defend, there are two roads into Zhuzhou, one is a road, which is suitable for armored vehicles and heavy artillery long vehicles to enter directly." The other is the railway, which can send infantry to break through to his hinterland, and if necessary, we can even send another force to attack Liuyang, cross Jigong Mountain, and directly occupy Zhuzhou. ”
