Chapter 36 Devil's Intelligence and Counterattack Plan
Wanping City.

Quadrangle headquarters.

Hall.

Sitting side by side on a row of quaint military chairs were three Japanese military officers with bright collar badges.

Kanda Higashino, Matsuda Yoji, Kurokawa Yoshida.

In front of them, Ito Izumi was reporting with an information booklet, and behind him stood an intelligence officer.

"According to the information from intelligence personnel behind the enemy, a small group of troops from the No.18 Army of the enemy has entered the border of Wanping County. This group of troops is a company belonging to the 119th Division and has been expanded with local troops."

"However, we can't know the specific information, including the actual strength, configuration, and stationing place of this company. We only know from the intelligence that the leader of this company is named Zhang Lianshun."

"No. 18th Division of the 119th Army? The 119th Division in the Battle of Pingxingguan?" Yoji Matsuda interrupted Ito Izumi's report at this time and asked doubts.

"Yes." Ito Izumi nodded.

Pausing for a moment, Ito Izumi continued to make a report when the three officials in front of him did not ask any further questions.

"According to the "Xizuoling Order No. 119", two months ago we implemented the strategy of local collection of some supplies"

"There are a total of 127 villages and towns around Wanping City. In the past two months, our army and various security forces have conducted five collections. A total of 2 tons of grain, livestock and other materials have been collected, which has effectively reduced the pressure on domestic supplies and supported front-line operations. "

"During this period, we received nearly a hundred counterattacks from self-defense forces spontaneously formed in a few places. Because they lacked organization and poor weapons, they did not hinder the collection."

"From the obvious point of view, this enemy force has never shown up. They are hiding and accumulating strength, and they did not launch an attack until the arrival of the transport brigade."

"But actually" said here, Ito Izumi deliberately paused, so as to attract the attention of the three assistant officials.

"From the counterattack records of more than a hundred local guerrillas, I found that the enemy's garrison is probably in the area of ​​Pinggu Town, Tutuo Village, and Dazhuang Village."

"Tell me the reason." Hearing this, the three assistant officials were obviously interested.

The convoy was attacked, and it was not only Yoji Matsuda who suffered heavy casualties who was annoyed.After all, Kurokawa Yoshida was naturally to blame for the attack on the confinement team he managed.

Moreover, these supplies were originally allocated to the garrison in Wanping City for the reorganization of the brigade and the formation of the security team. These supplies were robbed, and the expansion of the brigade and the formation of the security team naturally disappeared.

Annoyed, the two have been collecting intelligence everywhere for four days, looking for traces of this group of enemies, but except for a bunch of useless information, they have never found anything substantial. At this time, a team leader actually said that he had spotted the enemy. Resident, which could not help but attract their interest.

"I studied the records of more than a hundred large and small counterattacks, and found a pattern"

"Among the 127 villages and towns, the distribution of resistance incidents is very regular, but most of the large-scale resistance is concentrated in Pinggu Town, Tutuo Village, Dazhuang Village, Xiao'an Village, Da'an Village, etc., and the most intensive resistance is Pinggu Town. , Tutuo Village, and Dazhuang Village”

"Of course, it's hard to see anything based on this information alone, but I checked the amount of supplies collected in various places"

"Among them, the three villages of Pinggu Town, Tutuo Village, and Dazhuang Village collected the least and worst supplies every time. It seems that the other party is deliberately taking out some useless supplies."

"But in fact, these three villages and towns are not poor, and they can even be regarded as wealthy villages and towns around Wanping County."

"Moreover, among these three villages, the security team recruited the fewest people"

"So, based on this information, I guess that this enemy company should be hiding around these villages. With the support of the local people, they organized a small-scale resistance to our army's confiscation."

"Map" heard Ito Izumi's report, Kurokawa Yoshida ordered someone to bring the map.

Spreading out the map, the three assistant officials including Kanda Higashino carefully observed the map, and called Ito Izumi to identify the location on the spot.

"This is Pinggu Town, about three kilometers to the west is Tutuo Village, and four kilometers to the north of Tutuo Village is Dazhuang Village. These three villages are distributed in a corner around Tutuo Village, and the surrounding terrain is dangerous. Close to the mountains, it is an excellent place for small troops to station”

Ito Izumi pointed to the location on the map and expressed his thoughts.

"Of course, the above is pure speculation and lacks actual evidence," he added after speaking.

"Whether it's true or not, the terrain here is enough reason to conduct an on-the-spot investigation. This time, the convoy was attacked and suffered heavy losses. We must give enough counterattacks. We must deal with the activities around Wanping County. units to carry out devastating strikes”

After clicking on the three villages and towns on the map, Kurokawa Yoshida was in a state of uncontrollable anger. He could hardly absolve himself of the responsibility for such a large loss in his territory. If he couldn't get back his position in this matter and wiped out this small group of guerrillas and his own territory, even if Shaozuo Dongye supported him, he might not be able to secure his position as the captain.

"Telegram" At this moment, a liaison officer walked into the headquarters with a telegram and handed it directly to Yoji Matsuda.

After reading the telegram, Yoji Matsuda saw a slight smile on his originally calm face, and then handed the telegram to Kanda Higashino beside him, and after Kanda Higashino finished reading it, he handed the telegram to Kurokawa Yoshida.

"Hey, please give me your advice, Captain Matsuda." Looking at the telegram, Kurokawa Yoshida's face was calm at first, then gradually became pleasantly surprised, and finally a full smile appeared on his face.

The head of the division directly under him telegraphed that his brigade would be under the direct command of General Matsuda in the near future, and a brigade from the Fifth Division would arrive in Wanping City two days later, and they would all belong to Colonel Matsuda. Dazuo Matsuda was in charge of the encirclement and suppression of the enemy forces around Wanping City.

In the telegram, there is another message.

Yoji Matsuda will lead a newly organized team and officially become a real-power team leader.

"Senior Kurokawa, we are both imperial warriors, and we will serve for the great cause of the empire together." Yoji Matsuda did not show his disgust and disdain for the second-tier divisions. Once here is someone else's territory, his next actions will also require this The strong support of Captain Kurokawa.

Secondly, he still has some respect for the old lieutenant in front of him who has served in the army for more than 20 years.

At this time, Matsuda Yoji and Kanda Higashino looked at each other, and both of them could see the seriousness in their eyes.

They had previously exchanged messages in private.

They knew very well that the support of this first-line brigade was not aimed at annihilating a mere local guerrilla. Their goal was the suspected elite squad of the Republic of China with super sophisticated equipment.
