Chapter 510 Fighting the Rat!
Nagakita Seiichi, the head of the intelligence agency of the Japanese North China Front, was responsible for directing Japanese espionage operations throughout North China.
Since Gen Sugiyama established the three major offensives, the power of the intelligence agencies has become more and more powerful, and the tasks have become more and more heavy. Nagakita Seiichi has become one of the busiest figures in the entire North China Front.
In the past two days, there have been two major breakthroughs in intelligence work. One was the successful establishment of contact with Lin Yu, and a bomb was planted in the core troops in Jiangdong.
Secondly, Fu Yue of the 244th Brigade completely fell to the Imperial Army. The North China Front had the opportunity to defeat the Fifth and Fourteenth Group Armies in one fell swoop and advance the front to the position before the Second Battle of Taiyuan.
Both of these matters were handled beautifully by the intelligence agency, and Nagaki Ta Seiichi received a commendation from Sugiyama Gen.
That afternoon, Nagakita Seiichi was reading intelligence sent from various places in his office. A subordinate hurried in to report:
"Your Excellency, Director of the agency, we have lost contact with the Takeshita team for more than three hours. They may have encountered an unexpected situation!"
Nagaki Tasei stood up from his chair in a hurry. Takeshita was his best intelligence worker. Today he went to the 244th Brigade to finalize the details of the operation with Fu Yue. He had been out of contact for more than three hours, and it was very likely that he had encountered an accident.
"What was the last message Takeshita sent back?" he asked eagerly.
"Now that Fu Yue has reached an agreement, the Imperial Army troops can enter the 244th Brigade in batches!"
"It seems like they encountered something unexpected on the way back."
Intelligence workers pay the most attention to time, especially elites like Takeshita. It is impossible for them to be delayed for three hours because of trivial matters. Nagakita Seiichi already regards them as dead people.
"Is it Juntong or Jiangdong?" He frowned and muttered to himself.
…
Half an hour later, the North China Front Army Headquarters.
After listening to Nagakita Seiichi's story, Sugiyama Motoya couldn't sit still, "You mean that the Takeshita group is likely to be captured alive by Chinese intelligence agents, and then the relationship between the Imperial Army and the 244th Brigade, especially in the next
His actions were exposed?”
"Hi Yi!" Nagaki Tasei nodded,
"Although I believe that Yamashita will not betray the Japanese Empire, this kind of thing cannot be 100% guaranteed. General, whether it is Koto or Juntong, once Takeshita opens his mouth, our plan will be exposed!
At that time, all preparations will be in vain, and Fu Yue will also lose this point!
We must take action before the Chinese do, and every minute now is extremely valuable!"
Sugiyama Gen understood what Nagakita Seiichi meant. After the plan was exposed, Fu Yue and the 244th Brigade would definitely be in danger, and the Chinese defense line would be as strong as ever.
This kind of opportunity is so rare. If you lose it, you don’t know how long you will have to wait.
Sugiyama Gen quickly walked to the battle map and asked, "How are the preparations of each department?"
"General, the plan is to launch an attack in a week!" Kasahara Yukio recalled the situation of each unit in his mind.
"There are two brigades in front of the 244th Brigade. If we want to launch an action immediately, only these two brigades can enter the battlefield in a short time.
Then there is the 4th Cavalry Brigade. They are fast and can arrive before nightfall!
Let’s start giving orders now. Counting the time spent gathering and traveling, the 13th Independent Guard Group will be able to enter the battlefield early tomorrow morning!
The 41st Division may be combined into the 11th Brigade later!"
"Bagaya road!"
Sugiyama Yuan clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice. Since Jiangdong came to Shanxi, not a single battle has been carried out according to the pre-made battle plan.
Sugiyama Gen did not have the confidence to use 30,000 troops to break through the defense line of the Jiangdong Army. However, if it was against the 5th Army and the 14th Army, and with Fu Yue's cooperation, Sugiyama Gen felt that he could completely disrupt Wei Jun with just one attack.
Such as the Pingyao-Fenyang defense line.
The fighter plane was fleeting and he couldn't think too much about it.
"Can you still contact Fu Yue?"
Nagaki Tasei’s quick answer:
"Takeshita left two people with Fu Yue. They took the initiative to contact the agency just now. The communication is now smooth!"
Sugiyama Gen made up his mind and clapped his hands hard, attracting the attention of everyone in the headquarters.
“The battle to chase the rats begins early!
Inform all troops not to assemble, but to rush to Pingyao as quickly as possible and organize the army in front of the battle line!"
“Hiyi!!!”
Everyone in the headquarters got busy after a brief period of shock.
"Watch the rat!"
After getting on the line with Fu Yue, the North China Front Army formulated this combat plan.
In the eyes of Sugiyama Yuan and others, Wei Junru and his troops are rats, and Jiangdong is a hungry wolf.
Always pick soft persimmons. It is easier to chase away rats than wolves.
By breaking through the defense lines of the 5th and 14th Group Armies, the imperial army can fight all the way to Quwo along the Tongpu Railway Line, completely sealing Jiangdong in southeastern Shanxi.
Let that railway planning map be reduced to waste paper and Jiangdong become a joke.
"The intelligence agency immediately contacted Fu Yue and asked him to find ways to open a hole in the defense line to connect the two brigades of imperial troops!"
Sugiyama Yuan ordered quickly,
"The mission of these two brigades is to ensure that the gap opened by Fu Yue remains open to block the Chinese army that may come to block it!
The 4th Cavalry Brigade did not stop after crossing the defense line, but went straight to Jiexiu and destroyed Wei Junru's headquarters!"
As long as this step is achieved, the 200,000 Chinese troops should be defeated. Sugiyama Gen continued to order:
"After the 41st Division and the 13th Independent Guards arrived at the battlefield, they attacked southward at all costs. No prisoners, no cities. Remember, our code name for this battle is:
Chase the rat!"
"Hiyi!"
…
…
"Stop fighting...stop fighting...I said..."
The leader of the intelligence team heard Takeshita's pleading as soon as he walked to the door.
As expected, the torture soldiers stopped. The deputy team leader in charge of the interrogation opened his notebook and asked:
"What's your name, position, and why are you going to the 244th Brigade Headquarters?"
Takeshita's tears fell from his cheeks, and he cried:
"Please don't hit me, I'll write, I'll write down everything I know..."
I used to be a Japanese expatriate, and it was those damn soldiers who forced me to do this!
Please, let me write..."
Seeing that Takeshita's psychological defense had collapsed, the deputy team leader waved his hand, and the two soldiers carried Takeshita to the table.
"Come on, write down the three questions I just asked first. Don't leave out any details!"
The deputy team leader pushed the notebook in front of Takeshita and planned to pass the pen in his hand.
The team leader who walked to the door felt something was wrong and shouted:
"Wait... don't give him the pen yet!"
But it was too late. The deputy leader had just handed the pen in his hand when he heard the voice and turned around subconsciously. Takeshita, who was sitting in front of him, grabbed the pen.
The deputy team leader turned around just in time to see Takeshita insert the pen into his temple with a ferocious expression. There was a pop, and half of the pen, which was more than ten centimeters long, had penetrated into the flesh.
Things happened so fast, beyond everyone's expectations. The deputy team leader and the two soldiers in the room stared blankly, never expecting that someone would be so cruel to them.
"Quick, quick...rescue!"
The team leader rushed in with three steps at a time.
This Japanese named Takeshita is so determined, he must have extremely valuable information hidden in him.
Several people hurriedly flattened Takeshita who had fallen on the ground.
Takeshita's whole body was twitching, his pupils sometimes contracted and sometimes expanded, the joints on his feet, hands, and neck were cracking, and the expression on his face changed three times a second, making everyone present feel frightened.
It could be seen that Takeshita was suffering unprecedented pain. This pain could not kill him, but it allowed him to clearly feel the changes in his body before he died.
The team leader shook his head and stopped carrying out unnecessary rescue operations.
As it is now, even if it can save people, it will probably be useless, and no information can be obtained.
"Uh huh..."
Takeshita was lying on the ground twitching, with a look of begging in his eyes.
I beg the Chinese people in front of me to help him and give him a happy life!
But the way he looked now was so ferocious that he wouldn't even kill a chicken. Several people turned their heads away, and no one paid attention to Takeshita.
