They even carried out several sand table deduction, and basically determined that there were no problems with the combat plan and tactics formulated by Neiji Okamura. Even at the last moment, he decisively ordered the retreat to avoid greater losses, which is still creditable.
If Ningji Okamura hesitated a little at that time, the Japanese army who broke into the deep defense of Xiangcheng would probably be divided and surrounded.
In the "Winter Offensive" operation launched by the national army later, the 11th Army did not even have enough troops to resist the opponent's attack.
It is not impossible to lose Jiangcheng, an important town in the Central Plains.
Therefore, when Sonobe and Ichiro took office, he personally met with Neiji Okamura, the former commander, and sincerely asked for advice.
Okamura told him that the Japanese army made rapid progress at the beginning of the Battle of Xiangcheng, except that the national army on the eastern front had taken precautions and failed to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.
The subsequent battles were basically the same as he expected, but he slightly underestimated the combat effectiveness of the national army.
He never underestimated the opponent Xue Boling, but in the battle, the role of the commander only accounted for about ten percent at most.
This ten percent is very critical, because it determines the outcome.
But 90.00% of it is the quality of the army itself, the quality of soldiers, weapons and equipment, the ability of grassroots commanders, the right time and place, and so on.
Can a tiger command a group of sheep to defeat a group of wolves?
A tiger may be unparalleled in personal combat power, but it can only represent him personally, and the combat power of sheep cannot be compared with wolves at all.
A wolf is as smart as a tiger. Who do you think will lose?
The existence of Xue Boling ensured that the national army has a stable command center, and this commander's outstanding performance in the battle of Lanfeng is enough to show that he is an extremely difficult opponent.
In this way, Neiji Okamura naturally would not underestimate his opponent, and he made a battle plan after doing war games many times.
Neiji Okamura also doesn't like to be greedy for success, because he has been in China for many years and knows that although this country is poor and weak, the real power is not the advanced weapons, but the people.
There are too many talents in this nation, which seem to be inexhaustible. On the contrary, although Japan claims to have a population of [-] million, how many of them can be called talents, and the success rate is even more incomparable.
Although Ningji Okamura has been transferred back to his native land, he has been planning the battle against Northwest Hubei, and his intentions are consistent.
That is to wipe out the vital force in the mountain city.
The birth of an elite army has either been through years of hard training, or it has been eliminated from constant fighting on the battlefield.
If the will to resist in the mountain city cannot be destroyed, it is wishful thinking to quickly end the war in China.
He has no illusions about some people in the country wanting to negotiate peace with that person in Shancheng, especially since they also support the Wang family to become a puppet regime, which is probably the most unacceptable thing for that person.
Moreover, the country has put forward such harsh conditions. I am afraid that no one is willing to agree to such a peace negotiation condition except for the greedy Wang.
Therefore, if you want to solve China's problem, there is only one way to conquer it with absolute force!
Only under this premise can we sit down and talk.
This point coincides with Sonobe and Ichiro's thoughts. The two had a very happy conversation, and Okamura Neiji was not stingy, and confessed the relevant combat plans and ideas he formulated to him.
Without Neiji Okamura's predecessor, Sonobe and Ichiro wanted to formulate a campaign plan in a short period of time, which is really a fantasy.
Neiji Okamura has already done many things for him, and he came here just to follow the old rules and pick up a ready-made bargain.
The reason why Ningji Okamura was defeated in the Battle of Xiangcheng, after summing up, is a problem: intelligence.
Intelligence has gone wrong.
The intelligence of the outflanking and sneak attack was detected by the opponent in advance. Without any precautions, they came to lure the enemy to go deep and caught the turtle in the urn. As a result, they suffered heavy losses, the attack was blocked, and their own tactical intentions were exposed.
Our secret telegram communication has been intercepted.
Intercepting is intercepting. This radio wave is not a fixed telephone line and can be controlled. The key is that the opponent has mastered the deciphering of one's own communication secret code.
In this way, all the secrets of one's own side will be exposed to the eyes of the opponent. How to fight this battle?
Therefore, if this problem is not solved, the next battle will not be able to gain any advantage. Therefore, Neiji Okamura also formed his own professional code-breaking team, which is the "Miura" unit.
In addition, a series of actions have been formulated, the goal of which is to attack the power of the Shancheng government in deciphering the secret code.
The "Fox Extermination" operation was planned and directed by Kondo's organization under the personal care of Okamura Ningji.
It's a pity that the operation failed in the end, and it completely exposed one of the most elite intelligence teams lurking in the mountain city.
After Sonobe and Ichiro took office, in addition to adjusting troops and changing defenses, they also summoned Keiichi Kondo and Miura, two leaders in charge of telecommunications and counterintelligence work, at the official residence.
"Miura-kun, how is the deciphering of the secret code related to the fifth theater of the Chinese Army going?" Sonobe and Ichiro first asked Miura Hiroichi in a home kimono.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, although the Chinese Army has improved their secret code encoding method, we have mastered its rules and will soon have results." Miura Hiroshi said that he was not affiliated with the 11th Army, but his superiors sent him over. , he had to come, and besides, there was nothing more exciting for him than defeating an opponent on this special battlefield.
Although, he felt that the Chinese people's cipher encryption technology was more than three blocks worse than Japan's.
He is an expert in cipher communication like Ono Zhishu, and he was selected to study in Germany for a year and a half.
After learning the latest German cipher encryption technology, they also brought back their latest rotor encryption cipher machine from Germany.
Now the top-secret communication code of the Japanese army base camp was written under his auspices.
The Chinese just learned a little bit from the Americans, and with luck, they just deciphered the code, and they were lucky enough to learn about their roundabout battle plan.
This time, he will not give the Chinese this chance.
"Really, how long will it take you to master the secret code of the China Army?" Sonobe and Ichiro asked in a deep voice.
"About ten days."
"Okay, I'll give you another ten days. After ten days, I want to know all the secret communications of the fifth theater of the Chinese Army."
"Hay!"
"Kondo-kun, your plan to 'kill the fox' failed, what should you do next?" Sonobe Kaichiro almost asked.
"Please punish your Excellency, Commander."
"Punishment, if you want to punish the crime, you will have been punished long ago. What I ask you is, do you have a plan for the next stage?" Sonobe and Ichiro asked coldly.
Kondo Keichi suddenly had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He was really unlucky these days. The "Fox Killing" operation was going well, but suddenly there was bad news, Kitagawa Yu was arrested, and then "White Fox" suddenly lost contact.
And the "Jiangs and his wife" who were secretly detained by him disappeared from home overnight.
Then, after searching the entire Jiang family, they found a secret passage leading to the outside world in the Jiang family bedroom.
This passage should have been dug recently.
Obviously, the other party already knew that the "Jiangs and his wife" were controlled and threatened, so Jiang Xiaoyu might have been acting with them from the very beginning.
The disappearance of the "Jiang family" and the "White Fox" happened almost at the same time, and the "White Fox" was the person in contact with Jiang Xiaoyu.
If the two were not related, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.
Almost overnight, he became deaf, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the mountain city.
These days, he has been in a hurry, losing his hair. With his current hair volume, it probably won't be long before he loses all his hair.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I just got a piece of news about the plan for the next stage." Keiichi Kondo straightened his mind a little bit.
"speak."
"Mr. Jiang in Shancheng just held a military meeting in secret, and the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater of the Chinese Army also secretly went to Shancheng to participate in this military meeting. We have no way of knowing the content of this meeting, but I have a bold judgment. .” Keiichi Kondo said together.
"Go on."
"I think the Chinese army has tasted the sweetness of deciphering our army's secret messages on the Xiangcheng battlefield. This time, maybe they will repeat the same trick and send another 'X' team similar to the previous one to help the battle?" Kondo Kyo together.
"You mean, that 'Fox of Military Command' is likely to appear on the battlefield again?" Sonobe and Ichiro understood.
"Yes, this is also a good opportunity to keep him." Kondo Jing said.
"Is this your plan?"
"Commander, this Luo Youning is in the mountain city. Whether it is kidnapping or assassination, it is very difficult for us to succeed, but once he steps out of the mountain city, it will be much easier. Moreover, it is not necessary to know his whereabouts." Difficult." Kondo said.
"Kondo-kun, are you sure he will come?" Miura Koichi asked suddenly.
"Miura-kun is also interested in this person?"
"We are considered colleagues, and I really want to compete with him, who is more powerful." Hiroshi Miura said.
"That's right, after I capture him alive, I'll hand it over to Miura-kun, you can do whatever you want." Keiichi Kondo said with a smile.
"I'm looking forward to it." Miura Koichi and I nodded slightly.
Chapter 0727 to five theaters
"Xiao Yu, I received the news last night that your parents have safely left the Japanese-occupied area, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the mountain city in a week." Early in the morning, Gong Hui called Jiang Xiaoyu into the office.
"Really?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked excitedly.
"Of course it's true, but have you found out where they will live after they come here?" Gong Hui asked.
"Not yet. I'm thinking that when they arrive, I'll find a hotel to live in first, and then let them find a place to stay." Jiang Xiaoyu explained.
"Well, that's fine, but you can't tell them the nature and address of your work, understand?"
"Understood, sister Hui, thank you." Jiang Xiaoyu was very happy, her parents were finally safe, and she would be reunited with them soon, which made her feel very urgent after not seeing her parents for a year and a half.
"Okay, let's go to work."
"Yes, Miss Hui."
……
"By the way, come to eat at home after get off work in the evening, and help me by the way." Gong Hui suddenly remembered something, and added another sentence.
"Okay, Sister Hui."
……
"Mr. Wei, you called me over early this morning. Is there something good for you?" Luo Yao went to work early in the morning, and was called by Lin Weiwen to the office of the attendant's office of the chairman of the Shangqing Temple.
Lin Weiwen chuckled: "Of course there is a good thing, You Ning, you are famous, so many people are vying for you."
"If you want me, I have a princess who is not the emperor, what do you want me to do?"
"You are more fragrant than a princess now!" Lin Weiwen said.
"Mr. Wei, don't be a fool, just tell me the truth. You see, those who scratched their heads about what I said are almost dying of anxiety."
"Okay, I won't talk to you for nothing." Lin Weiwen chuckled, and then his face quickly returned to a serious expression, "Commander Li Delin of the fifth war zone made a suggestion to the committee, hoping to follow the example of last year's battle in Xiangcheng, What do you think of sending a secret communication deciphering team to guide and assist the work of the fifth theater when the battle breaks out?"
"This one……"
"Why are you hesitating and talking straight?"
"Mr. Wei, the Japanese army had the experience of failure last time. This time, they will definitely take various measures to ensure the safety of their secret communication. If they want to achieve a record like the Battle of Xiangcheng, it may be very difficult, because we Our opponents are not stupid, and they also have quite strong technical capabilities, we must consider this." Luo Yao also said very seriously.
The ugly thing is to say that it is obviously impossible to replicate the record of the Battle of Xiangcheng, and the deciphering of the secret code may not be successful, and the opponent is not a fool, so he will definitely take certain precautions.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
He didn't want Li Delin and the Fifth War Zone to bet on "deciphering the Japanese army's secret message". This is putting the cart before the horse.
"Youning, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so calm and sober." Lin Weiwen exclaimed, and he finally understood why those bigwigs were scrambling for the first time when they saw a map It's a robbery.
In addition to the second office of the Military Command, the Operations Office of the General Staff Headquarters of the Military Commission...
Even Li Delin, the commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone, went to the old man himself to ask for someone. Of course, he didn't ask him to leave or return him, but he just called him for the time being.
"Mr. Wei, it's not that I'm sober. I'm afraid that Mr. De's expectations are too high, and he will inevitably be disappointed." Luo Yao explained.
"Then you want to go?"
"Subordinates are soldiers, obey orders and obey commands." Luo Yao is not stupid, how could he directly say that he is willing.
This kind of thing is not what he wants or not. The old man ordered it together. If you don't want to go, can you go?
"Well, if you are really forced to leave your current position, will there be any problems with the operation of the military technical room?" Lin Weiwen asked seriously. After all, the military technical room has not been established for a long time. There was a problem, and it almost caused a big incident because of the materials and funds.
"Probably not. Now everything is slowly on the right track. As long as it operates according to the rules and regulations, I don't think there will be a big problem." Luo Yao said, "And Dr. Wen was the director of the secret inspection office before, and has relevant experience."
"You mean, as long as no outsiders meddle indiscriminately, there will be no problem, right?" Lin Weiwen heard it.
"Yes, institutionalize, rationalize, and humanize everything. As long as you don't mess around, you can ensure smooth operation."
"Okay, I see, you go back and wait for the notification, and make corresponding preparations." Lin Weiwen nodded.
"Yes, Duke Wei."
……
Luo Yao knew that Lin Weiwen had already talked to him in person, so the possibility of this matter was very high, otherwise, it would be impossible to talk to him.
At least the old man had this idea.
He had just taken over the work in the military technical room, and he was about to leave again. I'm afraid there would be disputes again. I don't care about him. Not everything can go according to my own wishes.
