This answer from Yoshimoto Sadachi made everyone stunned and at a loss for a moment. The intelligence system of the Kwantung Army, which was once the pride of the empire and made great contributions to the holy war, was actually mixed like this in Manchuria. The inability to gather even the most basic information was a bit incomprehensible to them.

even took the flower of the empire Nanzao Yunzi, and never returned, which is a great shame for the imperial intelligence system. Miss Nanzao Yunzi, who can be described as an ace of the Imperial Intelligence Department, once established a great battle for the Empire on the battlefield of China. The Kwantung Army actually put this trump card in, which is really incomprehensible.

Hasn't Manchuria always been an unusually tight territory under the control of the Kwantung military? How did it fall to such a point in just a few years? Could it be that the enemy's control area is really so tight that it really does not leak? But even if it's a stone, it has gaps. What's more, the opponent's control area is not a stone, how can it not even be a spy to get in?

Looking at everyone looking at themselves incredulously, although Yoshimoto Sadachi's old face was already as tough as steel after years of training by the army leadership, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, this matter is too humiliating for the Kwantung Army.

It was not an area newly occupied by the Kwantung Army that had not been visited before, but an area that the Kwantung Army had once tightly controlled. The result is good now, but the military and police gendarmes on the surface deployed by the Kwantung Army in the past have been swept away. Even those secret surveillance systems have now lost their effectiveness.

In fact, it's not that a spy can't get in, and it can't be said that the original spy network has been completely destroyed. In order to suppress the anti-Japanese situation in North Manchuria, which was relatively active in the Anti-Japanese Union, the Kwantung Army was filled with countless light and dark spy agencies and personnel in North Manchuria. Despite the many strikes of the Anti-Japanese Federation, the foundation is there, and there are still some remnants.

It's just that these remnants basically don't dare to do anything. It can't be said that there is no information at all, but the ones that come back are basically rubbish. If we judge the economic situation of the enemy's control of the zhì district, we can barely deal with it. However, if it is said that it can be useful for combat, it is quite limited.

It is like the so-called North Manchurian original textile factories to expand production a large number of and recruit a large number of female workers to work. It is not that since the beginning of winter in the market, the supply of pork has been insufficient, but the supply of mutton has greatly exceeded the quota. In terms of military intelligence, very little is available.

Most of the intelligence is useless for combat. The personnel who bought the other side have never been able to buy even any person whose position is slightly more important and can provide some valuable information. It is to buy some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, but within a few days of the people they bought, along with the buyers, disappeared together.

Now the control area of the North Manchurian Anti-Japanese Federation has almost become a forbidden area for the death of all spies of the Kwantung Army. Whether they were Manchurians, Japanese, or Peninsula nationals, they were terrified when they heard that they were being sent to work in the north. Last year, at the request of the Kwantung Army, the Chinese Dispatch Army took advantage of the opportunity of mobilizing college students from the interior of China to find ways to plant some spies.

Although when the dispatch army of China received information from some quarters to mobilize university students from the Japanese-occupied areas to work in Manchuria, it was already the last batch. However, at the behest of the Tokyo base camp, the Shina Dispatch Army took advantage of this rare opportunity to install some people. But these people are basically gone after they are dispatched, including the Imperial Flower Nanzao Yunzi Miss.

Faced with the report of the intelligence department, no matter how much Yoshimoto Sadachi pondered, he couldn't understand how the other party could not get into this situation where water could not be splashed and needles could not be inserted. What's even more frightening is that what kind of neighborhood committee did they set up? Mobilize a group of old men and old ladies to also participate in counter-espionage. Those old men and old ladies who stared at all strangers with a vigilant eye were still terrifying.

Who is Nanzo Yunzi? It was the flower of the imperial spy, and it didn't even start a fight in North Manchuria. I even heard that some spies were actually discovered and reported by the group of old ladies called the neighborhood committee when they were in action. Some spy networks that have been lurking for several years were also discovered by these old ladies. A group of old ladies who can't read big words can be used as counter-espionage personnel, and this anti-union is really doing everything.

Compared with the astonished of other people present at Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi's words, it is not too surprising that Okamura Ninji, who has worked as a military attache for espionage and has also engaged in intelligence work for a period of time, and has successfully used his special status to obtain a very precious Chinese military map from a warlord, and has made great contributions to Japan's war of aggression against China.

When he took over the North China Front, he discovered the intelligence system of the North China Front more than once, and he had a relatively thorough grasp of the intelligence of the Chongqing Army in North China. In particular, in the first battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the intelligence work can be said to have made great contributions. The progress of the First Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain could have been so rapid that it would have been impossible without the pre-war infiltration of the North China Front.

However, the information of the communist army, which has become a major problem in North China, is a mess. Even the establishment and number of troops of the Communist Army have never been understood. Repeated attempts to infiltrate the so-called base areas of the Communist Army in North China were basically in vain. A small amount of information can only be relied on by a very small number of defectors.

Moreover, these defectors are not very clear about the situation in their own jurisdiction. Under this strict secrecy system, unless heavy troops are dispatched, an iron-walled sweep similar to the one launched after the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain this year. Otherwise, there is almost no possibility of destroying the communist army in North China.

There is no way, war needs intelligence to cooperate. Without reliable intelligence support, the North China Front was almost helpless against these treacherous, deeply hidden, and co-opted armies that had drawn all the common people to the past, and could not find a way to target them at all.

Last year, they engaged in the Battle of 100 Regiments, and mobilized so many troops. Not only did they fail to grasp the slightest rumor before the war, but even the North China Front did not know when so many communist troops appeared in their jurisdiction. With more than 100 regiments and hundreds of thousands of troops, the North China Front did not know about this crucial information before the war.

As for Yan'an, where their capital was located, the North China Front could not even insert a basic intelligence gathering group. Compared with Chongqing, which is also heavily guarded, but Japan's various intelligence systems have not been less staffed, and even the official residence of the supreme leader has been clearly investigated, the work in Yan'an is not even bleak. The results of intelligence collection and infiltration of the Communist Army were really frustrating to the people in the Japanese intelligence system.

This year's campaign against the communist army in North China was successful, although the establishment of the intelligence system was a certain meritorious achievement. But this kind of feats are based on the accident that happened. If it weren't for the fact that their headquarters were too cumbersome, this sweep would not have achieved such great results.

Therefore, he was not surprised by the fact that the Communist Army system also belonged to the Communist Army system and the anti-Japanese alliance was very secretive. And if the intelligence system of the Kwantung Army can really play its due role, then they will not be defeated repeatedly. Regarding the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army, Okamura Ninji is still clear.

The Kwantung Army, which is all permanent divisions, is much stronger in terms of combat effectiveness and will to fight than those special divisions or independent mixed brigades and regiments composed of reserve soldiers in the North China Front. The weaponry is also the most sophisticated among the major strategic clusters of the Japanese army. The number of heavy artillery and tanks is not comparable to that of other strategic groups.

Under such circumstances, the battle against this so-called Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army has never been defeated, and it has also lost troops and generals, allowing the opponent to survive from being compressed into the mountains and forests to the point where it is today. This situation is not just caused by military problems, but also by intelligence and other reasons.

It's just that although he didn't feel surprised, he was still quite surprised that the intelligence system of the Kwantung Army had fallen to such a point. The opponent's annual aircraft production is definitely a blank, which can be concluded without too much judgment. There is almost no industry in North Manchuria, which Okamura Ninji is very clear about.

However, the enemy's efforts to rely solely on foreign aid or purchase of planes and tanks were not very difficult to collect intelligence, and the Kwantung Army could not complete it. Even before each battle, it is impossible to determine even the maximum number of troops that the enemy can deploy, which is a bit unbelievable.

This is a shame for the Imperial Army's intelligence system, which has always been known for its shrewdness and efficiency. If we don't even know what kind of equipment the enemy has, how much equipment it has, and how much it has, the size and strength of the troops. Then this battle is already lost.

The Communist Army has always been known for its tight organization, but it is so tight that it can almost be said that it is watertight, how did they do it? If things are really as serious as Lieutenant General Yoshimoto said, then the adjective Iron Curtain is quite appropriate.

looked at Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, whose face was extremely embarrassed because of the incompetence of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army. Senior General Okamura Ninji already knew in his heart that the target of the Anti-Japanese Federation was either Chanan or Suidong. The number of troops and equipment they may invest, including the choice of breakthroughs, the North China Front can only rely on itself to gather intelligence.

In other words, if you make a mistake in judgment and choose the wrong direction for key defense, then you are likely to end up with the same fate as your predecessor, Lieutenant General Tada. There is no strategic intelligence, and tactical intelligence can only rely on itself, which makes Senior General Okamura Ninji look very unpleasant.

It's just that unhappiness is unpleasant, but Okamura Ninji can only suppress this unhappiness in his heart. Competing with those people in the Kwantung Army, first, there was no need for that, and second, he didn't want to do anything unpleasant at this time. The most fundamental thing is that this is a meeting between the two armies to cooperate in operations, not to quarrel, and some trivial matters should be put down or put down.

Under the circumstances of the failure of intelligence gathering to such an extent, it was not the turn of the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army to hold accountable the responsibility of one of the commanders of the North China Front, and that was a matter of the base camp. At present, the most important thing is how to thwart the next possible offensive of the Anti-Japanese Federation against North China and ensure the stability of North China.

According to Okamura Ninji's original intention, he concentrated the two strategic groups of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army to carry out an offensive against the Anti-Japanese Union that had already reached Rehe. At the very least, they will be expelled from Rehe and cut off their passage to the interior of China. But after Yoshimoto arrived, he was shocked by the Kwantung Army's interest in being the first to attack.

Senior General Okamura Ninji, who has always had a keen sense of smell, and from Lieutenant General Yoshimoto's lack of interest in launching an attack, he can see that the current state of the Kwantung Army obviously contains some inexplicable and unexplained things. It's just that everyone is a high-ranking general, and some things are difficult to find out by themselves.
