Chapter 205 Where did the information come from? I just approved it
"Yu Hanmou is such a waste." Chen Yang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh as he read the news about the fall of Guangzhou in the daily newspaper.
The intelligence had long been passed to Shancheng that the Japanese army would attack Guangzhou.
Yu Hanmou had an army of 200,000 men, but they lost most of Guangzhou in less than half a month.
The newspaper said that the Japanese army had captured Shahe and occupied most of Guangzhou city.
According to this progress, the whole of Guangzhou will be completely occupied by the Japanese army in less than half a month.
Guangzhou is the southernmost city in China. Once this city falls, it will be meaningless for the Prime Minister to hold on to Wuhan.
Sure enough, a little butterfly like him could not make much difference in national affairs.
The decision of the superior can determine the life and death of a country, and all he can do is pass on the information.
The fall of Guangzhou also brought many adverse effects to the War of Resistance.
After the Japanese army attacked Guangzhou, part of the army landed in northern Guangdong and moved south along the Guangdong-Hankou Line.
After the Japanese Hata Detachment captured Wuchang, it accelerated its pace and encircled Wuhan.
On the other hand, the 59th Army stationed in Huangchuan, which was Zhang Zizong's Northwest Army that had just made outstanding achievements in the Taierzhuang Victory, held out for days and then abandoned Huangchuan and retreated on October .
After the Japanese army occupied Huangchuan, they surrounded Hu Zongnan on three sides and trapped him in Xinyang City.
After holding out for several days, Hu Zongnan decisively ordered the abandonment of Xinyang City and organized the troops to retreat in an orderly manner.
But during the retreat, Hu Zongnan completely ignored Li Delin's military orders.
He secretly transferred the seven divisions that were blocking the enemy westward and retreated to Nanyang City.
It was this decision that opened the northern gate of Wuhan.
After capturing Xinyang, the Japanese army marched towards Wuhan.
At this time, the east, south and north sides had been occupied by Japanese troops, and the National Army had only one way to retreat to the west. If they did not retreat, they would have to defend Wuhan to the death and fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy.
On October 22, the Japanese army was only two days away from Wuhan, and the temporary military command made a decision after discussion.
The goal is not to gain or lose a city or a pond, but to take prolonged consumption as the main policy.
In the end, it was decided that the main force would withdraw and abandon Wuhan.
However, it was impossible to capture an intact Wuhan. After the troops set out, the Military Commission issued an order to implement the policy of clearing the countryside.
When the main force withdrew from Wuhan, a fire was set.
The fire burned for two days and two nights until the Japanese army arrived at the gates of Wuhan.
The once prosperous city of Wuhan is now a burnt-out, empty city.
Shanghai, Plum Blossom Tower.
After dragging on for more than 20 days, the report on the assassination of Tang Shaoyi and the investigation into Tang De's whereabouts finally came to a final conclusion.
The case was characterized as a retaliation action by the Military Control Commission.
The Iwai agency was not completely useless. After more than half a month of investigation, as well as the confessions of people in the Tang Mansion, they basically successfully identified the target person.
According to the intelligence from the Iwai Agency, the two people who took action were Zhao Lijun, one of the four great generals of the Military Control Commission, and Xie Zhipan, an agent of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station.
"I think there's no problem. Let's leave it at that."
After Chen Yang signed his name on the investigation report, he returned the report to Inukai Ken and Iwai Sadatoshi in front of him.
"Assistant Chen, what should we do with Zhao Lijun and Xie Zhipan?"
Iwai Sadatoshi took the report and asked modestly.
"Mr. Iwai means to put these two people on the wanted list?" Chen Yang asked casually.
"The Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station is too arrogant," Iwai Sadatoshi said in a deep voice, "I think we need to launch a revenge operation against the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station."
"Give the other party a head-on blow."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Does Iwai-kun have any detailed plans? I can consider it."
"The Shanghai market has indeed been unstable recently. The Empire has just achieved such great results on the battlefield. As an intelligence agency, we must also make some achievements."
Iwai Sadatoshi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, we can't hold the empire back."
Chen Yang stood up and said, "How about this, you guys go back and study it and come up with a plan, and I'll coordinate anything you need."
"I believe Madam is also holding her breath. If you do well, I will report your results to Madam."
Iwai Sadatoshi and Inukai Ken looked at each other and saluted quickly, "Hey, let's go back and plan now."
Chen Yang looked at the two people's leaving backs, with a barely perceptible smile on his face.
At this moment, a strange picture suddenly emerged in his mind.
"God of Wealth, where did you get this information?"
"Oh, Director, I just approved it."
The last person to receive such treatment was General Guo, a major general of the Party and the State.
He is the highest-ranking undercover agent of the Red Party within the National Government. The plan discussed at the Military Commission meeting has just been approved, and the content of the plan will appear in Yan'an soon.
Hehe, hehe, hehe....
"Knock knock knock," just as I sat down, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Chen Yang said in a gentle voice.
"Sir, two guests have come downstairs. They are logistics officers from the 4th Army Division. One calls himself Toshio Komuro, and the other is Tsuyoshi Okubo. Do you want to meet them?"
Uh, Komuro Toshio is back? Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and then he was ecstatic.
This is like a boy who brings wealth to your doorstep.
"Quick, quick, please invite them in." Chen Yang was a little excited for no reason.
No wonder he was so excited. After the war broke out in Guangzhou, the price of supplies changed almost every day.
The price of sugar went from 1.1 yuan in early September to 3.8 yuan.
The situation in other provinces is even more outrageous. The price of sugar in Anhui and Henan provinces has risen to more than 60 cents, nearly twice as high as that in Shanghai.
When Chen Yang ordered Ye Zhengxian to stockpile supplies, sugar was only nine cents per pound.
A full seven times the profit.
Moreover, this momentum is still rising. Chen Yang estimates that by the time Guangzhou is completely occupied and before the material transportation network on the Burma Road is fully operational, the price of sugar is likely to rise to one yuan per pound.
One dollar for one pound of sugar, this is outrageous. You have to know that at that time, rice was only one dollar for four pounds.
"Mr. Chen, oh, no, I should call you Commander Chen," Toshio Komuro strode into the office and greeted him with a smile.
"Kumuro-kun, you're making fun of me again."
Chen Yang laughed and said, "We are good friends, there is no need to be so polite when addressing each other."
"It's the same now as it was before..."
"Mr. Chen is really nostalgic." Komuro Toshio sighed, "They say people are better when they are new, and clothes are better when they are old. It's really rare to find someone as loyal as Mr. Chen."
"By the way, Chen-san, let me introduce you."
"This is the Chief of Staff of the 4th Division and General Yamashita's most trusted assistant, His Excellency Okubo Rikio."
Okubo Rikio bowed slightly to Chen Yang and said, "Mr. Chen, I have long heard of your name. I am honored to meet you today. Please take care of me."
