"Huh!."

"The little devil is cunning enough."

Looking at the information in his hand, Huang Quan raised his eyebrows:

"On the surface, we are mobilizing flying troops in Southeast Asia and the Pacific, but in fact, we are mobilizing aircraft from the peninsula, from the Kwantung Army, and from the mainland, and the number is larger than expected."

"Three hundred and seventy-three fighters, twice the estimated number."

"If we don't have Boss Chen's information, maybe we'll have to suffer a small loss."

Compared with the Southeast Asia and Pacific Island theaters, the devils can mobilize planes from the mainland, the peninsula, and the Kwantung Army garrison much faster, and the latter is much closer and easier to transfer.

Especially after the departure of the US bomber group, the pressure on the local air defense of the devils plummeted, and the huge forces of the local air defense force were completely released, and it was not difficult to mobilize hundreds of fighters.

"Little devils aren't stupid either."

Kong Jie was not much surprised by this.

Before Boss Chen didn't appear, he fought with the little devil for more than three years, and he didn't know how many losses, and he was well versed in the cunning of the little devil, even Li Yunlong suffered a lot back then.

At that time, the equipment of the troops was too poor, too poor, and the gap with the devils was too great.

It's like the gap between the devils and the independent regiment now.

"But."

Looking at the detailed information of each fighter in his hand, as well as the information of his pilot, Huang Quan snorted coldly:

"Return the Eighth Air Force, this is clearly aimed at us."

"Now that Boss Chen provides information, I want to make none of the little devils' planes fly."

With such detailed information, if the devil is still allowed to fly a plane, he Huang Quan will not have to be the head of this independent flying group, and he will just find a piece of tofu and kill him.

"Haha."

Kong Jie smiled with satisfaction.

As long as the devils can't seize air supremacy, then the hundreds of thousands of devils in the southern region don't want to jump up.

"Speaking of which."

In the end, Huang Quan couldn't help but sigh:

"The gap between our intelligence capabilities is a bit big."

With such a huge movement of the devil, even the intelligence force of the headquarters could not detect it, which made Huang Quan feel emotional.

"Although with the support of Boss Chen, we can fight with the little devils, and even press the little devils to fight."

Kong Jie also sighed with emotion:

"But we still have a lot of gaps with the little devils, especially the aspects that need to be accumulated."

······

Meanwhile.

Jinling, Dispatch Corps Headquarters.

"How?"

"There is no problem with the secrecy."

Commander Shunroku Hata looked at a lieutenant general officer in front of him.

Commander of the Eighth Air Force, Lieutenant General Ping Bubo.

At this time, there were only two people in the headquarters, not even a staff officer and guards.

"No problem."

Ping Bubo's tone is confident:

"I have delved into the large-scale air raid launched by the Independent Regiment half a year ago."

"The fact that the other side was able to defeat almost all the airfields of our army in one fell swoop, blow up almost all combat aircraft, and kill more than half of the pilots must be because of sufficient intelligence support."

"They know where our planes are parked, they know the location of the airport warehouses, they know where the pilots live, and even the accurate schedule of our aviation units, which is why they can make such an accurate battle plan."

"Although Tegaoke has not been able to investigate the enemy's intelligence source, and has never been able to investigate the location of that Chen Fan, it is not a big problem."

"If the other party can obtain our intelligence, there must be a large number of spies in the flying unit, and they can decipher and listen to our communications, as long as this is targeted, it can be well guarded against."

"At present, the Eighth Air Force has two flight divisions, six flight wings, 18 flight groups, and 40 flight squadrons, totaling 373 fighters."

"I stripped the command of the brigades, wings, divisions, and let the troops act alone in squadrons, each of them directly to the station and perform concealment, and the squadrons directly accepted the command of the command, and then divided the staff part of the aviation army into forty parts, and there was no communication between the parts."

"Forty teams in the General Staff report directly to me."

"Only three people, including me, know all the information about the troops."

"In such a situation, unless the enemy has the ability to obtain all the information of the entire locust army, including the Tokyo garrison, or"

Speaking of this, Pingbu Bo paused and raised his tone:

"The commander of the Eighth Air Force, I, the chief of staff of the Eighth Air Force, or my direct staff officer are spies of the other side, otherwise I know the intelligence of a few squadrons at most."

"Also."

"The divisional and regimental headquarters, the wing headquarters, and the brigade headquarters of the Eighth Air Force are still under normal command, receiving and sending telegrams according to the predetermined plan, and mobilizing troops to assemble."

"And."

"I also arranged for a part of the flight unit to assemble normally from the Pacific region and Southeast Asia to the Changheng region according to the order."

"Yo Si."

After listening to the deployment of Ping Bubo, Shunroku Hata said that he was very satisfied.

On the surface, it is a regular deployment, from the military headquarters, to the division and regiment headquarters, to the wing headquarters, to the brigade headquarters, and still normally command and mobilize troops, and then assemble in the Changheng area step by step to attract the enemy's attention.

In fact, the real troops are hidden, with squadrons as units, acting alone to go to the arranged garrisons to conceal, and all squadrons are directly under the command of the corps headquarters, and the staff headquarters is also separated, so as to ensure the concealment of intelligence to the greatest extent.

Unless there is a problem at the top, there will be a problem with a few squadrons at most.

But almost four hundred fighters, the loss of a few squadrons had little effect on the battle.

The only problem is that, in this way, as a commander, the command task will be very heavy, and the command of forty squadrons is not a simple matter.

"Good work."

Shunroku Hata said.

"As long as you can regain air supremacy in the Changheng region, this is all right."

平步博 says:

"However, this can only be a stopgap measure, and it cannot be spread to all troops, we must investigate where the enemy got the information from, and cut off this source of information, otherwise..."

"I know."

Shunroku Hata smiled bitterly.

They all knew it, the top brass of the empire knew it, and Tegaoke knew it.

It was that Chen Fan who provided information for the Eighth Road.

But here's the thing.

It's been four years.

The empire has devoted all its efforts to investigate this Chen Fan for four years, during which countless manpower, materials and financial resources have been consumed.

There are countless hidden intelligence agents exposed for this. For this reason, the empire has even organized many intensive self-investigations on all the personnel of the locust army, as well as the government personnel of the empire itself, which has led to a large loss of talents-

An espionage investigation of this scale will inevitably lead to internal factionalism.

Throwing out a piece of evidence, or simply falsifying a piece of evidence, and using a few hands and feet during the investigation, can easily get rid of your opponents who disagree and have conflicts of interest.

But at such a huge cost, nothing has been investigated.

There is not even any intelligence officer who has seen this Chen Fan, and he can only hear from other people's mouths that the materials that appear prove that such a person exists.

No sleeper personnel were found.

In such a situation, how to discover and cut off the opponent's intelligence hand?

······

At the same time.

Baoding.

Inside the Yamamoto Headquarters.

"Southern troops, ready to gather air forces from the Pacific and Southeast Asia to regain air supremacy in the Changheng region?"

Looking at the information collected by the intelligence force in his hand, Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

With Yamamoto's keen intelligence, he easily spotted the problem in this plan.

He, a lieutenant general of the empire, did not know about this plan, and the base camp had no intention of informing him at all, of course, as the person in charge of training recruits and collecting supplies in North China, he did not need to know.

But it can also be seen from this that this plan is very secretive, and it is even very likely that the information he sees at the moment is just a smoke bomb.

The smoke bomb was released to confuse the enemy intelligence department and Chen Fan.

During the Battle of Central Henan, almost all airfields in North and Central China and South China were bombed almost simultaneously, most of the aircraft warehouses were destroyed, more than half of the pilots were killed, and the losses were heavy, so that during the No. 1 operation, almost all air supremacy was directly lost.

The damage was so great that the whole country was shaken.

Afterwards, the base camp organized a large-scale inventory of the army in an attempt to find the spies, but to no avail, only to give a group of mountain forces a chance to turn themselves on.

Because of intelligence, we have suffered such a big loss, so of course we must learn a lesson, and it is inevitable that the assembled flight units will be kept a high degree of secrecy, so as not to be bombed in the airfield again.

But.

"Hmph."

Yamamoto put down the information in his hand and sneered:

"Does it work?"

After four years of fighting with the Independent Regiment and fighting nearly 100 times, Yamamoto deeply realized one thing.

The means that Chen Fan possessed were not at all understandable to the empire, just like the materials that appeared in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, the empire still hasn't figured out how they appeared.

It is very likely that these current methods of the empire will be useless and in vain.

But Yamamoto didn't bother to remind.

Not to mention that no one believes it at all, and even if someone does, what if it does? The empire has no way at all, is it possible to surrender directly?

"General, the commendation telegram from the base camp has arrived."

A staff officer walked over and handed Yamamoto a telegram.

Yamamoto took it and opened the telegram, and with the help of the light, it was an order, a commendation order for the 15th Brigade.

In front of them are a bunch of nonsense such as medals, titles, praise from the locust, praise from the prime minister of the base camp, a bunch of unnutritious things, Yamamoto looked directly at the end, that is, the promotion of the officers of the 15th Brigade who participated in this battle.

The 15th Brigade was expanded into the 125th Division, with the 15th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, and an armored brigade with a total strength of 25,000 troops.

The brigade commander, Major General Tanaka, was promoted to lieutenant general and division commander.

The commander of the 77th Wing, Daisuke Marukawa, was promoted to major general and was the commander of the 15th Brigade.

The commander of the 19th Brigade was temporarily replaced by the commander of the division.

Brigade Captain Tanikaku Kinakasa, and Captain Mario Shibunakasa were promoted to Osa Wing Captain and prepared candidates for the commander of the 19th Brigade.

"That's a lot of money."

Looking at the order on the telegram, Yamamoto said in a surprised tone.

The promotion of the brigade commander to the rank of lieutenant general was also expected by him to expand the 15th Brigade into the 125th Division, but the establishment of 25,000 men was really beyond Yamamoto's expectations.

This is already the establishment of an ordinary A division regiment.

The 15th Brigade was even allowed to form an armored brigade, leaving behind a portion of the captured tanks for their own use.

In particular, the two captains were directly promoted to the brigade commander, and they jumped one and a half levels directly, and they were also the key level of at least the general of Dazuo.

"They deserve this reward."

Ito, who was on the side, resisted the surprise in his heart and added.

"Indeed."

Yamamoto also nodded in agreement.

The 15th Brigade fought this battle so beautifully, and it won a perfect victory in a disadvantaged state, which greatly boosted the morale of the troops, and it is understandable that the top level vigorously rewarded them.

"General Yamamoto."

After a moment of small talk, Ito said goodbye to Yamamoto.

So far, all of Ito's plans have been successfully completed, and even exceeded. It won't be long before he has an ally at the division level.
