Chapter 861 Huagu is very capable
After listening for a while, Lin Ze wanted to light a cigarette, and Nan Yuntakuye hurriedly took out a small box from his body. After opening it, there were a few cigars inside.
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Nan Yunjun, it seems that the living conditions here are not bad!"
Nanyun Takuya hurriedly explained, "To be honest, I knew you were coming, so I specially prepared some things. If you're not used to living here, the Salt Company has also prepared accommodation for you. Although Yuancheng is small, it has a prosperous business, so things like cigars and foreign liquor can be obtained here."
Lin Ze didn't bother to be polite with him. He took one and lit it with a long-handled match.
Nan Yuntaku was also very happy. Commander Lin smoked the cigar he prepared without even letting anyone check it. This showed great trust in him!
Lin Ze: I am immune to all poisons, why would I tell you that!
"Okay, let's continue. What's the situation around here?"
Nan Yuntakuya said with a bitter face, "At the banquet tonight, they were not clear about what they said. This place is too complicated. Even though the Empire has troops stationed there, there are still constant disputes.
Of course, it was the 37th Division that occupied the surrounding cities, but our 37th Division had to defend Jinzhong and northern Shanxi, and also strictly guard against the Southern Army that was defending Zhongtiao Mountain. In the past, the Fifth War Zone in the south had deployed more than 200,000 people in Zhongtiao Mountain. Some of them have been withdrawn, but there are still 160,000 to 170,000 people, and they send troops to harass from time to time, and the 37th Division is also exhausted to cope with it.
But things have been much better recently. That guy surnamed Wei has been transferred, and the new commander, Commander He, doesn't have a full grasp of the situation here, so there haven't been any major moves for a while."
Lin Ze thought to himself that the man had always been in a state of half-trust and half-distrust towards Commander Wei, and as Old Wei's negative attitude towards suppressing the Reds continued to emerge, the man's distrust of him also reached its peak.
The result was that Lao Wei was forced to hand over the command of a series of troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, which laid the groundwork for the subsequent disastrous defeat.
"In addition to the Southern Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, there's also a Jinsui Army active in southeastern Shanxi. However, they have a tacit understanding with the 37th Division. When they encounter people in the Red Zone, they fight together. Normally, they don't interfere with each other."
Lin Ze almost laughed out of anger.
"In addition to these two groups, Lao Xi's influence cannot be underestimated. In some places, a county has three county heads: Lao Xi appoints one, the Fifth War Zone appoints one, and our garrison appoints one. Lao Xi is unwilling to completely obey the Fifth War Zone, so he hinders military pay and food supplies. He is also unwilling to watch the Red Zone become more powerful. Ever since he ordered the attack on the new army in Shanxi Province two years ago, the relationship between the two sides has deteriorated to the extreme."
Generally speaking, the situation here is that the troops of the Fifth War Zone are facing a leadership change crisis. Lao Xi's people and the people of the Fifth War Zone both cooperate with each other and undermine each other. After the change of leadership, the Fifth War Zone also adheres to the principle of continuously compressing the living space of the Red Zone. The two sides are wary of each other, suspicious of each other, and the situation is very tense.
While Lao Xi was sabotaging and cooperating with the Fifth War Zone, he was also strictly guarding the Red Zone.
What a mess of words.
Nan Yuntaku was quite a talent. Not only did he run the salt company well, he also had a very accurate understanding of the surrounding situation. He added, "Ever since the incident in southern Anhui, the Eighth Route Army has stopped communicating with the Zhongtiaoshan garrison. There have even been guerrillas attempting to attack small garrisons. This presents a golden opportunity for the Empire. If we can attack Zhongtiaoshan now, they will no longer be able to rely on each other for support, and perhaps we can make significant progress."
Lin Ze was really surprised. You are really a talented person!
What Nan Yuntuo said was very true. The Japanese had attacked Zhongtiao Mountain before. Not only had they attacked it, but they had attacked it more than a dozen times. However, Lao Wei and the Eighth Route Army cooperated very well. Because Zhongtiao Mountain is long and narrow, narrow on the west and wide on the east, the Southern Army had a large number of troops, so they defended the east side, and the Eighth Route Army was good at mobile warfare, so they defended the west side. The Japanese were defeated every time they attacked it more than a dozen times.
Some people even gave Commander Wei a nickname because of this, called "Seven Roads and a Half".
Now that the "Seven and a Half Route" is gone, the basis for cooperation between the Eighth Route Army and the Southern Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line has been basically lost. No wonder the headquarters has invested heavily this time and is ready to take over Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Nanyun, do you also understand military affairs?"
Nanyun Takuya smiled sheepishly and said, "Commander, although I have always been engaged in business activities, I also have a certain interest in military affairs and often study and think on my own."
Well, he is also a keyboard strategist, and his skills are quite high.
That night, there was constant sound of gunfire outside the city. The next morning, Hua Gu came to find Lin Ze with dark circles under his eyes.
Niu Saner made some water to make tea, and after drinking a cup of strong tea, Hua Guzheng's condition improved a little.
"Lin Jun, the situation here is worse than I thought. Since the headquarters sent me here to scout out the situation, I must at least create a stable environment for subsequent intelligence activities. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the intelligence plan to be implemented smoothly as we envisioned, and accidents may occur at any time."
Lin Ze reminded: "If we carry out a large-scale cleanup, will it alert the enemy and make the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders aware of the abnormality?"
Hua Gu was confident. "I've been thinking about this all night. There's no need for a large-scale crackdown. Since there are several forces here, we just need to find a name and target one of them. This will attract their attention without making everyone else highly alert. Then, when we pass on the intelligence through informants, it will appear more credible."
This grandson is really capable. There are two or three Kitahara Ransukes between Matsuzaki and him.
"So what name should we look for?"
"In the name of clearing trade routes, we will completely eliminate those bandits supported by the Southern Army in the western suburbs of Far City."
They were called mountain bandits, but in fact they were the "guerrillas" of the Fifth War Zone. The Southern Army liked to fight positional warfare, and when they had to carry out mobile harassment, the Fifth War Zone recruited many bandits from the Funiu Mountain area, gave them letters of appointment, sent several military instructors, gave them money and guns, and asked them to go to southeastern Shanxi to harass the Japanese.
Lin Ze pretended to be confused and asked, "Why don't you go west and attack the people in the red zone?"
Hua Guzheng smiled in his heart.
Although Mr. Lin has a good reputation, he is still not as good as someone like me who has a professional background in strategic planning!
Hua Gu was feeling somewhat smug. "Lin Jun must have figured this out long ago, and now he's testing me. So, let me show you my ugliness. The reason we didn't attack the Red Zone is because it's weak. If they were targeted, they might go underground, or even go dormant. In that case, passing intelligence to them would be a bit contrived. Pretending to focus all our attention on the Southern Army will make the people in the Red Zone more active, and that way, the transfer of intelligence will appear more logical."
This grandson is so cunning. Lin Ze is now thinking hard. Why did the headquarters and the front command go to so much trouble? What kind of attack plan did they prepare?
How did they set up their fake plans to deceive their opponents?
