Chapter 247 The fish bit the hook
"Postponing the Ren plan? Are they kidding me."
Commander Gangcun was furious: "The battle deployment has already been issued. Isn't it too late to postpone it now?"
"Did the Expeditionary Force Command give any reason?"
The visitor shook his head.
"Go down." Commander Gangcun didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Maybe the Kwantung Army is still going to implement the 'Winter Plan'," General Yamashita said hesitantly.
Commander Gangcun frowned and somewhat agreed with General Yamashita's opinion.
The plan for the northward advance formulated by the Army Department has always been criticized.
Many people think that it is irrational to provoke the Russian bear.
Until the information about the oil on Karafuto Island came out, all dissenting voices were immediately suppressed.
The Kwantung Army was almost unanimously urged to advance northward. For this purpose, the original 1.1 million troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Army were reduced to 850,000.
And that’s not the end. Even with 800,000 troops facing the million-strong Soviet Red Army, Umezu Michiro still felt unsafe.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force also stated that it could transfer more troops to the north.
However, the time is set in April.
Because of Lyusikov, the Army Department has decided to postpone the winter plan.
Gangcun was also planning to swallow Changsha before that and force the National Government to surrender as soon as possible...
At this time, we suddenly have to suspend the implementation of the "Ren Plan"...
"Knock knock knock," there was a knock on the door, and a Japanese officer in a colonel's uniform appeared at the door.
"Mr. Yoshimoto, you are not at the General Staff at this time, why are you here?"
The person who came was the Chief of Staff of the 11th Army Group, Shinichi Yoshimoto.
"Commander, I have some bad news. I just received a call from General Doi-maru, the commander of the Special High Section."
"All the Soviet aid to Shancheng has arrived in China, and some of the tanks are heading towards Changsha."
"Also, Director Nakanishi of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's Special Agent Division has received top-secret intelligence."
"In order to deal with the leak of the defense map of the Ninth War Zone Strategic Department, Shancheng held a special military meeting last month."
"We are currently unable to learn the details of the military meeting, but according to Director Nakanishi, the air raid on Hankou Airport is likely part of the plan designated by the military meeting."
"So, General Nishio hopes that we can postpone the implementation of the 'Ren Plan' to avoid falling into the trap of the National Army..."
"Trap, what trap?" Commander Gangcun said with disdain: "Changsha is very close. As long as we defeat Gu Zhutong in Nanchang, we can go straight to Changsha..."
"They want us to stop now. Do we have to wait until they have deployed their troops before we fight?"
Yoshimoto Shinichi frowned and said, "Commander, Director Nakanishi meant to postpone the fight, not to stop fighting."
"Shanghai intelligence agencies have contacted someone who is fully aware of this military deployment."
"They hope we can give them some time to discern this person's true intentions."
"Lest we lose the big picture by doing the small."
Commander Gangcun was speechless. General Yamashita was silent for a while and said, "Commander, it seems that we have no other choice."
"Now, let's think about how to deal with those guys hovering over our heads every day."
"Air supremacy is very important to us."
Shancheng, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Control Commission Office.
"Director, good news. The people ambushing at Guangci Hospital have confirmed that someone has checked Lin Zhijiang's medical records." Zheng Jiemin started shouting as soon as he entered the room.
"It looks like the fish is about to take the bait." Boss Dai's face lit up with joy.
"By the way, Chief, what exactly do you want to do by arranging to recall the special agents trained in Hunan to Shancheng?" Zheng Jiemin was silent for a long time before he finally asked his doubts.
During the Fuxing Society period, Shen Shuyi stayed in Hunan to secretly train troops.
As a result, the Military Control Commission knew very little about the origins of the Yunnan station chief.
Unfortunately, he is highly valued by Boss Dai, and many people don't know the reason.
"Our superiors asked us to conduct a thorough investigation of the Yunnan Station."
Boss Dai rubbed his brows and said helplessly, "They suspect that the King of Yunnan is colluding with that elder to surrender to the Japanese?"
"This, how is this possible?" Zheng Jiemin obviously didn't believe it.
But he couldn't find any reason to refute, as his superiors never trusted people much.
Even in the current situation of the nationwide war of resistance, he is still fighting the war while also working to clean up those local forces...
Sichuan and Chongqing had become a mess due to Liu Xiang's death. Pan Wenhua could not control the heroes in Sichuan, and most of the main forces of the Sichuan Army were transferred to other places for various reasons.
Judging from the situation, it will be the central government's meat in the mouth sooner or later...
Not to mention your province, during the "Long March", your provincial chairman Wang Jialie was taken care of by the Central Army...
Guangxi Li and Bai now have to obey the orders of the government. Commander Li leads the Guangxi Army to garrison in Zaoyang and has no second thoughts about the party and the country...
So now, there is only one "King of Yunnan" Long Yun left.
The reason why the superiors were wary was that some time ago, when the party elder defected, he actually met with Long Yun in secret, and the two discussed launching a "peace movement" together.
Before someone went to Hanoi, he actually transferred in Kunming, and Long Yun personally went to the airport to see him off...
Although the party elder has now been proven to have committed treason and Long Yun has also sent a telegram to condemn the rebellion, no one knows what this guy is planning.
But what is certain is that this guy is similar to everyone else. He wants to continue to maintain his power and thus refuse the government to extend its influence into his territory.
But the more this happened, the more worried his superiors became...
Since Shen Shuyi left, Yunnan Station has been taken over by Deputy Station Chief Hu Jiansheng.
However, the secret reports sent back by Hu Jiansheng recently did not mention anything about the King of Yunnan. This made Boss Dai suspect that Hu Jiansheng might have been in cahoots with the King of Yunnan.
He had no choice but to call back those secretly trained agents from Hunan and urgently send them to Yunnan to thoroughly investigate the entire Yunnan Station.
"But these people are all prepared for the Shanghai station." Zheng Jiemin frowned and said, "If you send them all to Yunnan, what will happen to Shanghai?"
"Gong Shu can't handle such a big plan alone."
"Speaking of the Shanghai station, is the radio station over at Caishen still silent?" Boss Dai seemed to have thought of something and asked in a deep voice, "Did something happen to Qiu Chan?"
Zheng Jiemin hurriedly explained: "Qiu Chan sent a message back a few days ago, saying that he broke his leg and is now in the sanatorium in Fanqingshan, Shanghai."
"Broken leg, what a coincidence?" Boss Dai sneered, "The Golden Lily Project has just begun, and she, the intelligence liaison officer, broke her leg?"
"Does she take me for an idiot?"
