My Spy Years

  Chapter 695 Imamura Small Classroom: Door-to-door Information

  Wuhan eventually fell.

  Cheng Qianfan was surrounded by pain and sadness.

  Following the defense of Nanjing, Wuhan fell again. Cheng Qianfan can fully imagine the huge blow to the morale of the people of the country after the fall of Wuhan.

Wuhan has been known as the "Throughfare of Kyushu" since ancient times. It connects Jiangsu and Anhui in the east, Guizhou and Shu in the west, Hunan and Guangdong in the south, Henan and Hebei in the north, the Yangtze River and Hanshui River, and the Ping-Han Railway and the Guangdong-Han Railway. It is the most important transportation hub in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

  Especially after the fall of Nanjing, the capital of the country, Wuhan became the center of the war of resistance throughout China.

  Defend Greater Wuhan!

   is the loudest anti-war slogan in the past few months!

  The "Great Japanese Locust Army" conquered Wuhan. This is great news. Naturally, Miyazaki Kentaro and his teacher immediately responded with joy.

  Cheng Qianfan ordered Li Hao to drive Bai Ruolan to school to pick up Xiaobao, and at the same time was responsible for taking the second daughter home. He himself got into another car and was escorted by the remaining security vehicle to the Japanese embassy area in Hongkou District.

   Along the way, Mr. Cheng's convoy crossed the bridge and crossed the card. Even if they entered the British and American concessions, they didn't stop all the way.

  The citizens along the way saw this and pointed secretly, also amazed at the prestige and power of Mr. Cheng in Shanghai now.

   "You guys wait for me outside." Cheng Qianfan straightened his suit and said in a deep voice.

"yes."

   "It's a great honor for Deputy Chief Inspector Cheng to be here." Kogoro Imamura came out to greet the Deputy Chief Inspector of the Police Department of the Central District of the French Concession in person.

   "Is Mr. Imamura at home?" Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.

   "Just came back, Deputy Inspector Cheng came by coincidence." Kogoro Imamura nodded and said with a smile, "Please."

  Cheng Qianfan went up the stairs under the guidance of Imamura Kogoro, and came to the door of the study.

  Kogoro Imamura was about to knock on the door, but Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "I'll do it myself."

   After finishing speaking, he straightened his clothes before walking forward and knocking on the door.

   "Kogoro, is that you?" Heitaro Imamura's voice came from inside.

   "Teacher, it's me." Cheng Qianfan said.

   "Kintaro is here, come in." Imamura Heitaro said.

"yes!"

  Cheng Qianfan pushed the door and entered, nodded his thanks to Kogoro Imamura, and then closed the door of the study.

   "Why are you here at this time?" Imamura Hyoutaro was reviewing the documents, looked up at Miyazaki Kentaro, and asked, "If I remember correctly, Shimizu-kun asked you to meet today."

   "Mr. Qing Shui contacted me later, he changed the time to tomorrow morning because of an emergency." Cheng Qianfan said.

"I see." Heitaro Imamura nodded. He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, and seeing the unconcealable joy in Kentaro's eyes, he asked with a smile, "Why are you so happy that you are getting rich again?" ?”

   "In the eyes of the master, are students so vulgar and full of copper smell?" Cheng Qianfan smiled wryly.

   "You don't like money anymore?" Imamura Heitaro asked back.

   "Uh—" Cheng Qianfan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he took out the newspaper from his body, "Teacher, the students were very excited when they saw the news of the empire's occupation of Wuhan just now, and all they wanted in their minds was to share this joy with the teacher."

   As he said that, he smiled and shook his head, "The flame of excitement in the students' chests has dissipated a lot now because of your words, teacher."

   "I knew that you came here for this matter." Imamura Heutaro revealed that it was so true and that "everything was within my expectations".

   "So the teacher already knew the news?" Cheng Qianfan said in surprise, and then he laughed himself, "Yes, the teacher must have better news than the newspaper."

   "What I said just now was intended to distract and ease your excitement." Heitaro Imamura said, "Occupying Wuhan is certainly worth celebrating, but we must not be dazzled by the victory."

   "Hayi." Cheng Qianfan said with a solemn face, standing at attention.

   "Of course, don't be so serious. After all, this is Wuhan." Heitaro Imamura saw Miyazaki Kentaro's serious look, smiled and said, "You can celebrate, and you can be excited, but you must always be vigilant in your heart."

  He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Occupying Wuhan, and even occupying the whole of China, is just a small step for the empire to conquer the entire world."

   "Hayi, it's because the students are too complacent." Cheng Qianfan's eyes glowed hot and crazy, "The future of the empire is the entire universe, and the Dahe nation will become the most noble nation on the entire earth!"

  …

   "The empire occupied Wuhan and severely damaged the Chinese government. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is studying, analyzing, and summarizing the war in Wuhan." Imamura Heitaro looked at Cheng Qianfan, "I will also assign you a job."

   "Teacher, please tell me, the students must finish it seriously." Cheng Qianfan said respectfully.

  Hintaro Imamura nodded, very satisfied with Kentaro Miyazaki's attitude.

  He knew that although his student was very smart, capable and talented, but sometimes he would be a little lazy, and his energy would be dragged down by the 'copper smell'.

  However, Miyazaki Kentaro's attitude has always been correct when it comes to the things he ordered, the work he assigned, or the "assessment assignments" he assigned, without evasion or carelessness.

   "I have some information and information about the war in Wuhan here. You can study it and write a research report for me." Heitaro Imamura said.

   "Hayi." Cheng Qianfan took the file bag respectfully with both hands.

  Hintaro Imamura lowered his head to review the documents again. After a few minutes, he raised his head with a look of surprise, "Why are you still here?"

   "The teacher didn't speak, how could the students..." Cheng Qianfan said.

   "I'm busy." Imamura Heutaro smiled, "Go, you are my student, why are you still so reserved in front of me."

   "It's not about being cautious, it's about respecting the teacher." Cheng Qianfan defended.

   "You, you." Imamura Heutaro waved his hand.

  Cheng Qianfan bowed respectfully, stepped back to the door, turned and opened the door to leave, and gently closed the door.

   A few minutes later, Imamura Heitaro raised his head and saw the newspaper that Miyazaki Kentaro had forgotten. He got up and picked it up and looked at it. He saw that some parts of the newspaper seemed to have been wet, and now they are dry again.

  Hintaro Imamura couldn't help shaking his head, and sighed softly, "Kintaro is really pure and innocent to the empire!"

  …

   Return to Yandeli's residence.

  Cheng Qianfan was just in time to accompany Bai Ruolan and Xiaobao to dinner.

   "What's wrong? My little treasure is not in a good mood." Cheng Qianfan tapped Xiaobao's little head with chopsticks.

   "Xiao Ming hasn't come to school for two days." Xiao Bao sighed softly.

   "Didn't you say that Lu Xiaoming bullied other classmates, don't you like playing with this classmate?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.

   "Xiaoming doesn't come to school, I haven't hit him for two days..." Xiaobao said it smoothly, and covered his mouth with an ah.

   Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded when he heard this.

   "Has student Lu Xiaoming bullied other students recently?" Cheng Qianfan asked.

   "I didn't dare when I was around, and when I wasn't around, he still bullied other classmates." Xiaobao was a little distressed, holding his chin with both hands, "I don't know what to do."

   "So you beat Xiaoming every day?" Cheng Qianfan laughed, and then he said with a slightly serious expression, "If you bully other classmates, brother will definitely be angry."

  Xiaobao looked up at him.

  Cheng Qianfan continued, "However, for Lu Xiaoming who bullies his classmates, my brother specially approves you to beat him."

   "Really?" Xiao Bao's eyes lit up.

   "Of course." Cheng Qianfan nodded.

  Amid Xiaobao's cheers, Cheng Qianfan got up and went back to the study on the second floor, and Bai Ruolan's voice of "teaching" Xiaobao came from behind him.

   Words like 'you can't fight', 'it's not good to fight' floated into his ears.

  Xiaobao seems to have said a few evil things about how Lu Xiaoming bullied his classmates.

  Cheng Qianfan listened secretly, and heard Bai Ruolan say:

   Lu Xiaoming, who is capable of beating you, dare not tell the teacher. If the teacher does not come to me, I will ignore it.

  Cheng Qianfan couldn't help laughing.

  Close the door of the study, but Cheng Qianfan has a serious expression on his face:

  Lu Xiaoming hasn't come to school for two days?

what reason?

  What happened to his house?

  …

  Cheng Qianfan carefully studied the information and information given by Imamura Heutaro.

  To be precise, this should be Heitaro Imamura's own preliminary research and analysis of the Wuhan war.

"this-"

  Cheng Qianfan showed a look of shock and ecstasy, because the materials and information provided by Imamura Heutaro were very detailed, and some of them were even classified.

  Although it is not necessarily highly confidential information, it is difficult to really come into contact with it.

  It can be said that without the teacher-student relationship of Imamura Heutaro, Cheng Qianfan thought it would be very difficult, even almost impossible, to obtain these intelligence materials.

   After Cheng Qianfan carefully studied the information, he had already summarized and sorted out the important information, information, or what he personally thought was very valuable.

  After he finished the draft in his heart, he began to write quickly:

   "After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Tokyo base camp had heated discussions on whether to continue marching into Wuhan.

  The Tokyo base camp has estimated that if Wuhan is further attacked, at least an additional 2.1 billion yen in military expenditure will be required.

  In addition, in view of the fact that the Japanese army was extremely exhausted after the battle of Xuzhou, the base camp needed to transfer 300,000 to 400,000 troops to the Wuhan battlefield.

  The huge military expenditure and the scale of troop increase made the Japanese cabinet actually have inconsistent or even contradictory ideas about attacking Wuhan.

  However, the Japanese navy and army were very eager to occupy Wuhan.

  The Japanese army and navy generally believe that if they can finally successfully occupy Wuhan, they will maximize the speed of occupying the whole of China.

   Among them, one of the most important views of the Japanese Army is that occupying Wuhan will deal a huge blow to Chongqing and help force Chongqing to surrender.

  The Japanese Army Base Camp believes that the capture of Wuhan has huge political, military and economic significance:

  On the one hand, this can destroy the center of China's war of resistance;

   On the other hand, the government has lost Nanjing and Wuhan successively, which will also directly hit the prestige of the government, and then force Chongqing to surrender and seek peace.

  “Even if Chongqing does not give in, losing Wuhan means losing Hunan, the granary of Hubei, and the only economic center in mainland China.

  Not only will the national government lose its ability to be self-sufficient economically, but it can also cut off the weapons delivery channel—the Guangdong-Han Railway. "

  After thinking about it, Cheng Qianfan crossed out this passage. He believed that both the teacher and Comrade Xiangwu had already seen this point very thoroughly, so he didn't need to say more.

  However, he added it later. This is what he got from the intelligence, and he tried to restore the content of the intelligence to the maximum.

  Among them, the Japanese base camp’s estimate of the military expenditure and military strength of the Wuhan war, in Cheng Qianfan’s view, is of strong reference value for Japan’s national power and military mobilization capabilities.

  In addition, according to data and intelligence, the Japanese base camp did not directly determine the current military plan to capture Wuhan when formulating the strategy for attacking Wuhan, but was constantly adjusting and changing.

   Regarding how to take Wuhan, the Japanese base camp once formulated a plan.

  And the military strategy of the North China Front Army. Specifically, the Japanese North China Front Army planned to go south along the Ping-Han Railway and fight all the way until it reached Hankou.

  After intense discussions, the Japanese army in North China analyzed the advantages and disadvantages.

  The advantage of this military marching strategy is that the roads are smooth, and it is suitable for mechanized troops to fight on plains.

  For the national army with a very low degree of mechanization, the Japanese army can completely form a huge combat advantage with the mechanized army.

  However, the shortcomings of this plan are also obvious. It must pass through China's first, fifth, and ninth theaters, and most importantly, it must suffer from the harassment of the Eighth Route Army in the rear.

   Therefore, after intense discussions, this military marching plan was finally rejected.

  The second plan of the Japanese base camp was to encircle Wuhan from the south of the Huaihe River, across the Dabie Mountains, preferably to encircle and annihilate the main force of the national army.

  The advantage of this marching strategy is that the distance is the shortest, which can shorten the marching distance to the greatest extent.

  The disadvantage is that the terrain of Dabie Mountain is complex, which is not conducive to the march of mechanized troops, which will directly affect the supply line of the Japanese army.

   After the Yellow River Huayuankou broke the embankment, there was no need to discuss this plan, and it was directly abandoned by the Japanese army base camp.

  The third plan of the Japanese base camp is to go up the Yangtze River and attack Wuhan.

  The advantage of this plan is that the Japanese army can take the initiative and use the three armed forces of the sea, land and air to cooperate in operations, and the attack distance is moderate.

   More importantly, the defense of the Chinese army on the Yangtze River defense line is extremely weak.

  Of course, there are also disadvantages. The Yangtze River waterway is intricate, which is not conducive to the march of mechanized troops.

  After the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army had to carry out a large-scale mobilization of long distances. In addition, to realize this plan, there is another very important key point, that is, to occupy Jiujiang as soon as possible.

  In addition, this military strategy can only expel the Chinese army with a high probability, and it is difficult to annihilate it.

  The Japanese army finally occupied Wuhan adopted the third strategy.

  Cheng Qianfan secretly went to the safe house on Taisdelang Road that night, and sent a simplified telegram to the Northwest Headquarters, which was still extremely long.

  PS: Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, thank you.

   I returned to Suzhou, and when I got home, I hurriedly coded.
