Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2374 Speculation
As soon as the Japanese army took action, Chongqing and the Supreme Command of the United Government of the Republic of China received relevant information.Before Okamura Ningji's North China Front Army was dispatched on a large scale, Ouyang Yun and the others did not perceive the Japanese's true intentions from the changes of the Japanese Far East Army.At that time, they all thought that the Japanese army's move was to solve the outer Mongolia, the southern barrier of Soviet Russia, and to solve their worries for sending troops to the Far East.Therefore, while ordering Fox Tong's special agent team in Manchuria to continue to pay close attention to the movements of the Far East Army, they also sent this information to the Soviets.

Two days later, a secret telegram that only a limited number of people, including Ouyang Yun, Chang Gen, and Shan Renxiong, had the right to know, came from Manchuria.After receiving this information, Ouyang Yun had an insight into the real intention of the Japanese army.This confidential telegram was sent back by a member of the "Stealing the Sky for the Sun" project who had entered the Kwantung Army's Combat Division and risked his life.This "stealer" who sneaked into the Fourth Division of Osaka as a captain and then shined in the Japanese attack on New Guinea, so he was promoted quickly, was originally named Xu Jianke, and his current Japanese name is Sakamura Zheng Er School.The work done by Sakamura Political No. [-] School in the combat department of the Kwantung Army Headquarters happened to be related to intelligence, so he was able to detect such important information in the first place and pass it back to the "old nest" in time.

The importance of this information, in Ouyang Yun's words, is as important as an army.He immediately convened a meeting with Chen Cheng and others to discuss countermeasures, and proposed "the possibility that the Japanese army may launch a regional decisive battle in the northwest", and made a new speculation on the purpose of the Far Eastern army entering Zhangjiakou, thinking that "the Japanese did not want to solve Outer Mongolia first, It is to annihilate our Northwest Army to stabilize the situation in Inner Mongolia." The plan of "stealing the sky and changing the sun" is the top secret. Ouyang Yun's plan for Xu Jianke and other "stealing the sky and changing the sun" is for the future, hoping that they will continue to play a role after the war in the future, so ensuring their safety is the first element.In order to protect Xu Jianke, he didn't mention any information-related issues, and attributed everything to speculation.But in this way, his speculation lacks credibility.

Sure enough, Chen Cheng, Feng Yuxiang and others immediately expressed doubts. "Impossible? Doesn't this mean that the Japanese have actually given up their strategy of attacking Soviet Russia with the German army? Would the Japanese be so childish?" Chen Cheng said.

Ouyang Yun also knew that it would be difficult to convince them based on speculation alone, so he did a lot of preparatory work for this.He followed Chen Cheng's words and said: "It seems to be a joke, but from the standpoint of the Japanese, I think it is necessary to implement it." He stood up and walked to the map, took the command whip, and first went from Zhangjiakou to Yinchuan Swipe one area, and then pull between HHHT and Ulaanbaatar, saying: "Everyone, have you found out that there is actually a huge loophole in the strategy of Germany and Japan attacking Soviet Russia from east to west. If my Far East Expeditionary Force can Quickly defeat Kuribayashi Chumichi, then, under the circumstances that Hu Li's Northwest Army has completely controlled the southwest of Inner Mongolia, next, our Far East and Far East Army will either quickly enter the territory of Soviet Russia via HHHT and Ulan Bator, or directly go to the northeast of Inner Mongolia Launching an offensive, what kind of changes will it bring about? The former, our Far East Expeditionary Army, the Soviet Red Army and the Outer Mongolian Army can encircle and annihilate the Far Eastern Army before Germany and Japan complete their alliance; Under the leadership of the Far East Expeditionary Army, although our army may not be able to recover the three northeastern provinces, at least it can disturb the peace of the Kwantung Army." At this point, he retracted the command whip to the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Qinling Mountains, and continued: " Moreover, my Far East Expeditionary Army still has another option, and that is to directly enter North China. Ladies and gentlemen, do the Japanese dare to take this risk when our army has an overall advantage in the Xuzhou and Hankou battlefields? I estimate that the Far East Army will definitely be defeated by then. Recall China. Hey! If I were Hideki Tojo, I would definitely not sit back and watch this happen. So even if the Japanese army wants to send troops to Soviet Russia, they must at least stabilize Inner Mongolia first.”

"It seems to be the case," Feng Yuxiang looked at Ouyang Yun and said, "But, after all, this is just your guess. Besides, Xuzhou still has Hankou, so will our army be able to win a big victory?"

"That's all for Xuzhou, the enemy in Hankou must be completely wiped out," Bai Chongxi said suddenly: "If the Japanese army in Hankou can be completely wiped out, then it will definitely not be a problem to march along the Yellow River in the next stage. In that case, we will not be far from victory. "

The Japanese army in Hankou currently has four divisions and three mixed independent brigades with about 15 people, plus two divisions and five mixed independent brigades. One of the most powerful military groups.As Bai Chongxi said, if this Japanese army is completely wiped out, not only will the Japanese army no longer have the ability to compete with the Chinese army for Hubei and Henan, but Shandong and Shanxi and other North China regions will also face the attack of the main force of the Chinese army.And the other two Japanese military groups in East and Central China, the Sakai Takabe in Xuzhou and the South China Front Army in Shanghai, would be completely at a disadvantage even if they could escape the fate of destruction.

"The enemy of Hankou will definitely be wiped out, as will the enemy of Xuzhou. I have confidence in this! Everyone, please wait and see. The 23th Army of Yokoyama Isamu and the [-]rd Army of Sakai Takashi will be destroyed soon. I think that the Japanese army in China Another military giant exists, and Neiji Okamura will definitely not sit back and watch this happen. I guess that Neiji Okamura will not increase troops in Shandong or Henan to try to rescue Isamu Yokoyama and Takabe Sakai, but he may cooperate with the Far East The army marched northward in an attempt to quickly assess Inner Mongolia. Now that we have the initiative, we can still afford to wait, so let’s wait another two days.”

Ouyang Yun said that he would wait two days to see, but in fact, in just one day, there was a change in the North China Front Army.This time, it was the intelligence department of the former army in Beiping that sent back the news.

Okamura Ningji did it very covertly in the mobilization of the North China Front Army. In the name of mopping up, he mobilized troops from SJZ, Taiyuan, and Peiping. Like a mopping up operation.However, because Ouyang Yun had spoken first, when the relevant information reached the high command, Chen Cheng and others immediately believed that Okamura Ningji's move was to send troops to Inner Mongolia.Then, as soon as they calculated the number of Japanese troops that would actually enter the Inner Mongolia area, each of them couldn't help being dumbfounded and began to become worried.

The Japanese army actually entered Inner Mongolia with 50 troops, but how many people did the Northwest Army have in total?Moreover, Inner Mongolia is too far away from Chongqing, and the High Command is limited in its ability to provide air support to the Northwest Army. Therefore, everyone feels that this will be a severe test for the Northwest Army, and it is also the one that the coalition government has encountered since its establishment. Biggest crisis ever.
