I am helping

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

After meeting Tojo Yingji in Tokyo, Japan's native land, Ningji Okamura wanted to see the locust, but he didn't.

The reason is that the locust does not want to see him, and the locust is a little disappointed in him.

"In the past few days, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi launched an offensive, and six counties in Northwest Shanxi were captured."

"According to reports from the defenders in various counties, the artillery firepower of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has increased."

"..."

In Okamura Neji's office, a combat staff officer is reporting to Okamura Neji.

In addition to Northwest Shanxi, the Eight Routes in other areas also more or less launched an offensive against the Japanese army.

Although they were all small fights, almost all of which were battles such as scraping the railroad tracks and attacking the strongholds, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops should not be underestimated.

After reading the briefing, the combat staff paused for a while before saying in a horrified tone:

"In 7 days, the locust army lost more than 2000 people, and the locust alliance lost more than 3100 people..."

Neiji Okamura fell silent for a moment.

He has only been to the mainland for a few days, and the loss of the North China Front Army is so large?

Although most of these losses were caused by the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment in Northwest Shanxi, if it continues at this rate, how long can the North China Front Army last?
And those puppet troops, if the North China Front Army falls into a big disadvantage, I am afraid they will run faster than anyone else.

His "Public Security Strengthening Movement" is only useful when the Japanese army has an absolute advantage but cannot eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

Once the Eighth Route Army has an advantage, the Chinese people who originally supported the Eighth Route Army will support it even more, and those who are on the sidelines will fall to the Eighth Route Army, and even the Locust Alliance Army, which served the Japanese army, will betray the Locust Army.

The "security strengthening campaign" is useless.

Fortunately, only in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army has the upper hand, while the Eighth Route Army and guerrillas in other provinces in North China are at a disadvantage.

But Ningji Okamura is still under great pressure.

Regarding his proposal to transfer the 1st Division from the Kwantung Army to Northwest Shanxi to deal with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Dongtiao Yingji has not yet responded clearly.

and.

He heard that the Shiyuan faction spoke to the locust again, requesting that Gushou be promoted to a general, and then served as the North China Front Army Command.

If his position of Neiji Okamura is taken away by Kosao, then he is likely to be incorporated into the reserve force and retired in disgrace.

"Go down."

Thinking of this, Okamura Ningji's eyes became more gloomy, and he waved his hand to signal the combat staff to leave.

The combat staff officer closed the folder and put it on the table, lowered his head with both feet, and turned to leave.

After the combat staff officer left, he looked through the briefings himself. Almost all of them were loss reports, and there were very few success reports.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi was too much of a threat to the Japanese army.

At present, the three divisions of the First Army and some garrison troops can only hide in Zhongtiao Mountain, Taiyuan and Yangquan, and the territory is getting smaller and smaller.

There is also Datong, which also needs to be regained as soon as possible, otherwise the Pingsui Railway will be interrupted, and the supply of the Mongolian army will become a big problem.

Okamura Ningji really wanted to immediately mobilize heavy troops to sweep Northwest Shanxi.

As for combat materials, although 5000 tons of combat materials in Datong were taken away, there were still 2 battle supplies in Taiyuan, enough for four to five divisions to fight for half a month.

In addition, Tojo Yingji has hoarded 50 battle supplies in the country.

It is a pity that the current strategic focus of the base camp is in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Ocean. He applied to transfer a division to North China, and the base camp had to think twice.

Neiji Okamura snorted coldly in his heart.

According to intelligence, the semi-automatic rifles currently equipped by the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army are all semi-automatic rifles equipped by the active US military.

Most of the aid channels of the Eighth Route Army are beautiful countries.

And those arrogant and beautiful Chinese people stopped selling strategic materials to the Great Japanese Empire.

This time, let the group of marines bleed the beautiful country and teach them that the Great Japanese Empire is not so easy to mess with.

soon.

Ningji Okamura brought his thoughts back to dealing with Li Yunlong and Xinyituan.

After research by the General Staff of the Front Army, the strength of the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army will increase dramatically after each battle.

This time should be no exception.

Moreover, in addition to defeating the 10th Division, the Xinyi Regiment almost wiped out the remnants of the 3rd Brigade and captured Datong. The strength of this wave of Xinyi Regiment may be a qualitative improvement.

The old devil's sense of crisis is even more urgent.

"Is there any way to destroy the aid channel behind Li Yunlong?"

The most fundamental reason why the Xinyi Regiment and even the Eighth Route Army are so powerful now is because of the aid channels behind Li Yunlong.

Without aid channels, the heavy weapons of the Xinyi Regiment would become scrap iron if they ran out of ammunition.

What's the use of a pile of scrap iron?

If you want to find out the assistance channels behind Li Yunlong, the feasible methods include installing a spy and developing insiders.

Originally, Shinozuka Yoshio asked the special high school to train a female spy, who was going to use it to break into the interior of the new regiment.

However, that female spy was killed by stray bullets when Li Yunlong led the Eighth Route Army to attack Taiyuan, and even Shinozuka Yoshio was killed, so the latent plan was not successfully implemented.

at this time.

The communications staff officer walked in with a telegram in his hand, bowed his head to Okamura Neiji and reported, "Your Excellency, Commander, a secret telegram from General Madoka Dohi!"

Okamura Ningji's expression changed.

Before returning to Beiping, Neiji Okamura paid a special visit to Kenji Doi, hoping to gain his support.

Doi Madoka Kenji, the number one spy of Japan's invasion of China.

From the "September 30th Incident" to Wang Jingwei's treason, he has been engaged in spy intelligence work in China for nearly [-] years, and he is behind almost every major historical event during the Anti-Japanese War.

Although Kenji Doi Madoka has been transferred back to the mainland, no one knows how many senior agents this person has in China.

"Senior Agent: Codenamed Pangolin..."

Okamura Ningji took the secret telegram and looked at it, his expression couldn't help being slightly happy.

……

Northwest Shanxi.

Dagu Town, Xinyi Regiment Headquarters.

After a busy day, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou returned to the regiment headquarters.

Then I saw Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo lying on the table and muttering something.

"What are you two discussing?" Zhao Gang came over and asked.

As he got closer, Zhao Gang found a stack of fresh papers on the table.

"This is... Boss Chen has been here?" Wang Dehou also knew this information paper, which came from Boss Chen.

Seeing this paper, both Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang knew in their hearts that Boss Chen must have brought new business.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong raised his head, "This time, Boss Chen has brought us a new business, and it's a big deal!"

Under Xing Zhiguo's explanation, and watching intelligence materials, Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang quickly understood the target and price of this business.

Same attitude as Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo.

Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang stated:
Gushou must die, and 32 heavy howitzers must be obtained!
