"Dong dong dong..."

The pen in his hand was tapping gently on the table, but the person holding the pen had no idea where his thoughts had drifted.

After returning to his office, He Dingyuan kept thinking about what Feng Jinzhang said just now.

Some of what Feng Jinzhang said was ambiguous, but the general meaning can be guessed.

'Today's Feng Jinzhang is a little different from before!'

'Did he discover something? Did he say these words to me on purpose?'

He Dingyuan's heart was in a state of confusion. Feng Jinzhang's abnormal behavior made him very uneasy.

The strength of Southeast Shanxi in all aspects is growing rapidly. Feng Jinzhang is right. The destructive power of a mole is limited and it is impossible to block the mighty development trend.

The North China Front is resting on its laurels, while Jiangdong is changing day by day. If this continues, it will not take long for Shanxi, Suiyuan, and even the entire North China to belong to Jiangdong.

Regardless of the information he passed on or not, the fate of the North China Front could not be changed.

But He Dingyuan soon thought of No. 17 Meiyuan Lane, Nanjing, and what happened there.

His body shivered involuntarily and he dropped the pen in his hand.

There were various expressions in his eyes, such as panic, fear, shame, anger, and entanglement. His face was also blue and white in turns, and he looked extremely scary.

"Crack!"

The burning charcoal in the charcoal basin exploded slightly, and a red sawdust flew to the table, burning a hole in the open notebook.

He Dingyuan looked at the small hole with black smoke coming out, without making any movement with his hands.

"Poof! Poof!"

A big hand suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and in a few clicks it wiped out the small sparks on the notebook.

"Deputy Commander, what are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought!"

Hu Cheng's disgusting face appeared in the office.

He Dingyuan raised his eyelids and sighed in his heart,

"Why, you can't sit still anymore?"

Hu Cheng lowered his voice and said,

"I heard that Feng Jinzhang went to hold a high-level meeting. I came to the deputy division commander to see if there is any new news. After all, even the dogs on the roadside know that a war is about to break out in Shanxi."

He Dingyuan stared at Hu Cheng, his eyes gradually becoming sharp.

At this moment, he really wanted to kill the person in front of him and vent all the anger that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.

The smile on Hu Cheng's face froze, and he took a step back in fear.

"Lin Yu, what do you want to do?

I advise you to correct your identity. Killing me will not have any effect. Others will come to contact you. If you take this path, don’t even think about turning back!"

He Dingyuan withdrew his sharp eyes and revealed a contemptuous smile on his lips.

He was disgusted by Hu Cheng's mean face, and Feng Jinzhang's idealistic look made him jealous.

The Military Intelligence Bureau has discovered the 3rd Division. There is no airtight wall in the world, and his identity will be exposed sooner or later. He Dingyuan did not want to be so passive, and his eyes gradually narrowed.

"I just learned from Feng Jinzhang that the Military Intelligence Agency has locked down the scope of leaking secrets. You and I may have been targeted, so we should be more honest during this time.

I don’t have any new information here, but I have some things to tell you about the logistics department.”

He Dingyuan would not be stupid enough to tell Hu Cheng the information he just got from Feng Jinzhang.

Only the chief and deputy division commanders know these things. If the secrets are leaked, his identity will be revealed.

Hu Cheng was very unhappy. He had been looking forward to using his great achievements to leave the frightened intelligence front, return to the occupied areas, become a puppet army commander, and enjoy life leisurely.

After sending Hu Cheng away, He Dingyuan fell into thinking again.

"If we want to take the initiative, the next battle at Niangziguan is the key."

…

…

Datong, North China Front Army Provisional Headquarters.

Tada Shun looked at the huge North China battle map, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes squinting.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Yantian Brigade has arrived in Xuanhua. Do you think we should send them to the northern or southern front?"

Yukio Kasahara came to Shun Tada and whispered.

Tada Shun's two eyes immediately locked onto Xuanhua's position, and he took a step forward to let himself see more clearly.

Seeing that the Commander did not speak, Kasahara Yukio told the staff office's analysis,

"The 27th Division lost half of its regiment in the Battle of Dorchi the day before yesterday. The Cavalry Group and the 26th Division have been completely wiped out. Now only the Second Independent Mixed Brigade and some local autonomous armies are left in the entire Mongolian army.

The imperial army's superiority in military strength had declined again, and the staff office recommended that the Yantian Brigade be put into the battle in Suiyuan.

This unit has rich combat experience and is made up entirely of veterans, and its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the 27th Division and the 57th Division."

"Yaltian Brigade..."

Jun Tada repeated softly.

Kasahara Yukio stood quietly on the side, waiting for the Commander to finish thinking.

About two minutes later, Jun Tada said firmly:

"Place the Korean regiment under the command of the head of the Yantian Brigade, and order them to go north from Xuanhua, through Zhangbei, all the way to Brutu, and then turn south to raid Guyang County!"

Kasahara Yukio's eyes moved on the map following Tada Shun's words. After seeing clearly the commander's deployment, he hesitated and said:

"Your Excellency, Commander, the temperature in Suibei is lower than that in the south, and the wind and snow are heavier. If the troops travel so hard, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced!

In addition, intelligence shows that there is a main division from Jiangdong stationed in Guyang, and the strength of one brigade and one regiment may not be able to capture Guyang, but it will increase the risk of being completely annihilated by Jiangdong."

Tada Shun stretched out a finger and tapped Kasahara Yukio,

"Kasahara-kun's thinking is still too narrow. Guyang and Baotou are the horns of each other. They are stationed by two main divisions from Jiangdong respectively. I never expect the servant army to occupy Guyang!"

"What your commander means is... to use the Yantian Brigade to contain the Guyang defenders and concentrate superior forces to break through from the center!"

"Yoshi!"

Shun Tada tapped the battle map hard.

"Jiangdong is preparing for a decisive battle with me on the Tumochuan Plain. Let's break through from the middle, disrupt and pierce the web he has woven!

In order to allow the Yantian Brigade to better play its role in containing the enemy, the Mongolian army was ordered to be their vanguard, with King De and Li Shouxin personally leading the team!

Suibei is their hometown, and being led by two people, the non-combat attrition of the Yantian Brigade can be controlled, and at the same time, the Guyang defenders can be caught off guard!"

"The Mongolian army's combat effectiveness is weak, but it is a first-rate expert in leading the way. Your Excellency, Commander, has arranged it this way, which is really wonderful!"

Yukio Kasahara gave a flattery at the right moment.

Tada Shun was very impressed. He looked at the map and continued to order:

"The imperial assault troops in the north of Shaanxi should also move quickly.

The Second Independent Mixed Brigade headed west from Wuchuan. Their main purpose was to drive away the guerrillas and put huge pressure on the Jiangdong flank!

The 27th Division and the 57th Division moved westward with all their strength under the cover of the aviation force!

At the same time, we ordered the First Army and the Twelfth Army to attack southern Shanxi at the right time. The main direction of attack is Pingyao, so be careful!"

Yukio Kasahara wrote down Shun Tada's order.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Suiyuan and Shanxi are going to war at the same time, so more flowers will bloom. This will be a huge challenge to our logistics supplies!

The guerrillas continued to harass us, coupled with the snowy weather, logistics and transportation were very difficult, and we were unable to support the frontline troops in their continued operations!"

This is a common problem in the Japanese army. Tada Shun felt upset when he heard this.

"We are in difficulty, and Jiangdong is even more in difficulty. What we need now is to work hard, don't talk nonsense, go and deliver the order!"

"Hiyi!"

…

Baotou!

"You've lost weight..."

This was Su Qing's first words after seeing Jiang Dong. Her eyes were full of tenderness and distress.

"We haven't seen each other for a few days. How can we lose weight? But you, your eye sockets are sunken. Are you lovesick?"

Jiang Dong said carelessly.

Zhao Erniu and the soldiers of the inner guard turned their heads in unison.

Su Qing's face turned red, full of embarrassment.

"Suiyuan is much colder than Shanxi. If we fight in this weather, the soldiers will be frozen." Su Qing said with a frown after entering the room.
