Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

On August 1942, 8, it became the city with the worst credit rating in the country.

Compared with the hot climate in North China or Indochina, this city, which has special significance to the Zhang family, can definitely be considered cool as September approaches.

In the early morning, the people in the city wore thin clothes and walked out of their homes to start a new day's "survival journey".

The sight of Japanese people everywhere on the streets made the residents hesitant in doing anything, for fear that they would be killed if they were not careful.

However, it is worth mentioning that due to the secret propaganda of some secret organizations, the young and middle-aged people in the city have become more forbearing and motivated, and even some elderly people are ready to fight to the death.

One day in the future, they will surely join forces with the royal army that comes to recover the lost territory to defeat the invaders, just like the residents of Taiyuan did in the past.

······
Deer Singing Spring is the first of the three spring seasons in Shenyang.

As a time-honored brand that has been in business for more than 20 years, it has attracted countless wealthy people from all walks of life. Even some Japanese people would choose it as their first choice for dining.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the store hall was more than half full.

Just as the guests were chatting and eating, an uninvited guest suddenly broke in.

"Baga! You are a bunch of useless people who only eat and wait for death. Why are you wasting your lives in the restaurant so early in the morning? Wasting your time like this is simply disloyalty to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

"It is precisely because of you, the pigs who only care about pleasure, that the expansion of the Kwantung Army has stagnated."

"Go on patrol! The headquarters has issued a series of orders recently. If the guerrillas and traitors interfere with the main force's operations, you will all commit seppuku to apologize."

Military police are a special group in the Japanese army. The selection of this branch of the army is strict, and there are strict requirements on the candidates' cultural level, physical appearance and professional ability.

These people not only represent military discipline and supervise the daily behavior of the Japanese soldiers, but also serve as stability maintenance personnel and are responsible for maintaining local public security in the occupied areas.

In a sense, they can be regarded as the book version of the Gestapo.

Originally, they just came to eat breakfast, but they never expected that they would run into military police. After hearing the reprimand from the other side, the Japanese second lieutenant quickly nodded and admitted his mistake.

"Hi!"

"You are right. We will return to our posts immediately and complete the mission assigned by the Commander!"

Seeing several soldiers leaving Lumingchun in a hurry, a look of sarcasm and disdain flashed across the face of the captain of the Shencheng gendarmerie.

After those people completely disappeared around the corner of the street, he first greeted his subordinates who were traveling with him, and then walked to the end of the corridor on the second floor with ease.

The box here faces the street and is relatively hidden, making it convenient to observe the movements of all kinds of people.

In other words, this is a great place for secret activities.

"Mr. Tamura, you are late again."

"Please pay attention to the time next time. After all, my status is not suitable for long-term absence from work."

"By the way, why did you suddenly call a meeting today? Didn't we just exchange intelligence last week? Could it be that the Kwantung Army Headquarters is about to make some big move, and our office hasn't received any notification."

Knock on the door three times to identify yourself and enter the room.

The environment and decoration in the box are very luxurious, and it is definitely not a place where ordinary people can consume.

As soon as the military police squad leader Tamura Kazuyasu sat down, a voice came from the room in the northeast corner. From the tone of the man, it was not difficult to hear that the relationship between the two was not ordinary.

Soon, a man wearing a big hat, a black uniform jacket and big boots walked out of the locker room.

It is worth mentioning that the sorghum flower badge on this person’s hat is particularly obvious.

"Shhh."

Faced with the sarcastic greetings from his "acquaintances", Tamura Kazuyasu did not respond immediately. He put his right index finger on his lips and made a quiet gesture, indicating that everyone should gather together to chat.

After a while, the last participant arrived at the box.

Compared to the soldier and policeman in the room, the newcomer looked more like a businessman. Of course, if you closely observe his every move 24 hours a day, you can still see some clues.

Everyone gathered for the meeting.

Facing the inquiring eyes of the two temporary "allies", the military police squad leader Tamura Kazuyasu looked solemn and went straight to the point and told the notice he received last night. "The Japanese military headquarters and the Kwantung Army headquarters reached an agreement in the middle of this month. Starting next month, the Kwantung Army will officially send troops south to reinforce the North China Front Army. The code name of the operation is Operation No. 1."

"The exact unit numbers and strength are still unknown. This is beyond my authority, but I estimate that there will be no less than three fully staffed Type A divisions."

"The First Tank Division also has a high probability of participating in the operation."

"So, if your camps have any plans, they should hurry up. Whether it's sabotaging or guerrilla warfare along the way, the next month will be crucial."

The current Kwantung Army has reached its peak in terms of both manpower and combat effectiveness.

Before major problems arose in the Pacific battlefield and Southeast Asia, it would not be difficult to send three to five divisions south to join forces with the North China Front Army.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two participants' expressions changed.

Three Type A divisions plus a tank division, coupled with an unknown number of Army Aviation Flying Squadrons. A force of this size is a force that cannot be underestimated even on the Eastern Front in Europe.

Considering that the devil's target can only be our side, the participant dressed as a businessman hurriedly asked:

"Where is the enemy's target? Henan and Shandong provinces or Shanxi Province? Can you get a map of their route southward? Especially the movement track of the 1st Tank Division."

"Will the Combined Fleet participate in Operation No. 1? Will Isoroku Yamamoto allocate a fleet to attack the coastal cities of Lu Province?"

Faced with the continuous questioning from his temporary ally, even Kazuyasu Tamura, who was a professional military policeman, felt a little overwhelmed.

There was no other way. Yesan had only been in the area for a little over a year, and even with the full support of the local group, it would be difficult to carry out operations. The existing intelligence that could be obtained was almost the limit of the organization.

However, the military police captain could understand the uneasiness of his ally, so he spoke decisively to comfort him:

"I can only answer one of your questions. The goal of the Kwantung Army's current operation is clear, and that is to help the North China Front Army regain its foothold in Henan and Shandong provinces."

"As for the route to the south, and whether the Combined Fleet will participate in Operation No. 1, I cannot give an accurate answer at this time."

"But don't worry, such a large-scale operation cannot be kept secret. Our organization has grown to the level of major general, and there will definitely be new intelligence in a while."

It is almost impossible to conceal the movement of large-scale troops, especially when the Kwantung Army and its grassroots are infiltrated. The current situation of Tokugawa 3, a member of the Axis, is the best example.

The assurance from the temporary ally made the businessman-like participant feel a little relieved.

As long as they can find out the enemy's route, their own air force can continue to collect tolls along the way. Anyway, there are only a few railways, and the Kwantung Army must be bombed if it wants to go south. Air supremacy is so arrogant.

Just as the "businessman" was thinking hard and preparing to continue asking questions, the second-class police officer from Shencheng, who was wearing a sorghum hat, suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Perhaps we can provide some reliable intelligence on the southward route of the Kwantung Army's tank division."

"You know, we have been planning a rebellion for two years. In order to build an army that can protect ourselves, the leaders of various regions have infiltrated the Japanese military factories."

"During this process, we not only stole the Kwantung Army's army equipment and industrial machine tools, but also left a number of spies inside the enemy. The most in-depth ones were in the First Tank Division."

Hearing this, the merchants and military police looked at the police chief in disbelief.

There is no other reason, it is just too outrageous. Stealing a few boxes of rifles or something could be fooled, at most you can just report it as damage. But directly inserting people into the enemy's military factory is a bit too outrageous.

Moreover, machine tools can be stolen? It's just a matter of respect and humility.

With this strength, you might as well let Qingqianzong stab Brother Huang in the back during a meeting, so that you can at least leave a good reputation for yourself.

"Okay, I'll leave the intelligence to you. After this operation is over, I'll arrange for you to meet with General Yang."

"The specific time and location will be determined by my superiors, and you will most likely be punished afterward. But this is not a bad thing. After all, there are many factions in your organization, so it's better to get out of it as soon as possible."

······
After finishing the business, the three of them stood up and prepared to leave Lumingchun.

Although under the cover of the Shencheng Military Police, the Kwantung Army's Special High Technology Department could not guess that the three major forces of Yang, Ye and Qing would be mixed together, but the current time is turbulent, and it is always right to be cautious.

Before leaving, the merchant patted Tamura Kazuyasu on the shoulder and said in a casual tone:
"By the way, our border region has already given us an accurate response to the supplies that Qiu Yi and Yesan requested last time. Guns, cannons, ammunition, and even tanks are all fine, but the timing is not right yet."

"At least, you have to have a stable site, otherwise we won't be able to transport it even if we want to." (End of this chapter)
