The secret war is silent

"Our army has recaptured Zaoyang!"

An eye-catching big black letter appeared in the latest issue of "Zhenzhong Daily". When the people got it in their hands, the ink was still wet.

Capture Xinye, capture Xiangyang...

Now that Zaoyang, which had been occupied by the Japanese army for more than half a month, has been recaptured, everything seems to indicate that the battle in northwest Hubei initiated by the Japanese army will eventually end with victory in the fifth theater.

Is this series of victories real?

If Luo Yao hadn't been born twice, he might not have doubted it, but the result he knew in his mind alerted him.

This may be an illusion.

But the facts are right in front of you, can you turn a blind eye?

The public cannot see the process and details of each victory, and reports will not tell you these in detail.

But Luo Yao can see those battle reports, and he can receive every detailed battle report.

The battle process, time, participating troops, strength, weapons, as well as the final battle losses and casualties of both sides.

Only in this way can we really see who won and who lost.

He believed that there must be staff members in the headquarters of the Fifth Theater Commander doing the same statistics, analysis and research as him.

This is one of the responsibilities of the staff officer.

Luo Yao made a picture of these and hung it in his room. He just looked at it for several hours.

"Team leader, you've been watching all afternoon, what do you see?" Yang Si knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing Luo Yao looking at the statistical chart, he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, I feel a little strange after all. The Japanese army clearly has no chance to make a comeback in the Xiangdong Plain, but they have been refusing to evacuate. If such a war of attrition continues, it will be extremely detrimental to them." Luo Yaodao.

"I don't understand military matters, but what the team leader said is indeed a bit abnormal." Yang Si nodded.

"Where is the Tang Corps?"

"Not sure."

"Hey, this isn't something we should worry about. Is there something wrong?" Luo Yao chuckled bitterly. He spoke softly, but it was better not to worry about something.

"It's nothing. It's just that everyone has been here for a long time. Everyone wants to go out and take a look. They don't dare to come to you and tell you. I'm the only one here." Yang Si said.

"This matter, the task is not very heavy at the moment. We have been working intensively for more than a month. It is time to relax. The nerves are too tight and the strings are easy to break. However, you cannot rush into resting and relaxing. You have to stagger and make reasonable arrangements. ." Luo Yao nodded.

"That's what I've been waiting for." Yang Si chuckled.

"Team leader, emergency report from the war zone, the main force of the Japanese army suddenly moved south..." Wen Xueren walked directly into Luo Yao's office without closing the door.

When Luo Yao and Yang Si heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

"Team leader, it seems your worries are justified." Yang Sidao.

Luo Yao smiled bitterly. He really didn't want his worries to come true, because if they were true, the situation in the Fifth War Zone would take a turn for the worse.

Neji Okamura is definitely a master in terms of tactics, but in terms of cunning, he may not be as good as Sonobe and Ichiro.

This trick is very effective in concealing the truth.

"Okay, I understand, let's go to work." Luo Yao waved his hand.

"What about taking turns?"

"Proceed as planned. One or two people can take a break at a time. It won't affect the work." Luo Yao thought for a while and agreed to the request for "rotational rest".

"OK."

…

"Brother." Yang Fan came in from outside and called. Since Baolin Temple moved back to Wuchang Hall, he goes out early in the morning every day and doesn't come back until late in the evening.

No one knew what he was doing outside, and no one dared to ask more questions. He was directly under Luo Yao's confidant and a military commander.

"Well, let's drink some water first and then talk." Luo Yao poured him a glass of water.

Yang Fan took it and drank a glass of water in one breath. Then he put down the glass and said, "The person has been found. He has changed his identity and is a counselor of the theater commander's department."

"Oh, where is he now?" Luo Yao nodded and asked.

"Huangzhou Pavilion." Yang Fan said, "Special agents from the Investigation Office of the Political Department of the Fifth War Zone were conducting concentrated special training in Huangzhou Pavilion. He was invited to serve as a special instructor. The woman named Zhang who lived with him was the woman from Puning Street. "

"Can you sneak in?" Luo Yao nodded slightly and asked.

"It's difficult. That's Wei Yongcheng's territory, and it's also the core of the Gui clan's intelligence. Not to mention that I'm registered with them, even if I'm not registered, it's difficult to get in." Yang Fan said.

Although the secret service of the Guangxi clique is not as good as the military command, it still has certain capabilities in its own three-quarters of an acre of land.

Moreover, they were very repulsive to Chiang Kai-shek's Central Committee.

"Tan Xing, the investigator of the third section of the investigation room, is my classmate in the temporary training class. Although I am not very familiar with him, I can find an opportunity to get in touch with him." Luo Yao said.

"Brother, what does this person look like and what are his specific preferences?" Yang Fan nodded. This would be easier if he knew someone.

"Here, you go to Team Leader Jiang. He is the local snake. After we figure it out, we will find a solution." Luo Yao ordered.

"Yes, Team Leader Jiang wants to see you. Do you want to meet him?" Yang Fan said.

"What does he want to see me for?"

"I didn't say it. I guess I want to get on your side. After all, your status in the military is getting higher and higher now. Most of the people who go outside have no backers. Who doesn't want to find a backer to avoid being sacrificed? Already?" Yang Fan analyzed.

"It's not impossible to meet, but not here." Luo Yao thought about it for a moment. Dai Yunong gave him the Hubei Hotel transportation station. It was nothing serious for him to meet the leader of the Laohekou Group of the Military Command. .

"This should be no problem. I can let him arrange it. Whether it is at the Hubei Hotel or other places, it should be as secretive as possible." Yang Fan said.

"Well, don't take it too seriously. In fact, I estimate that the Hubei Hotel has long been exposed to the intelligence agencies of the Fifth Theater Zone." Luo Yao said.

"I understand. Do we decide the time, or do they arrange it and notify us?"

"They have arranged the meeting place. I will decide the time. Just inform me in advance." Luo Yao thought about it. He didn't have free time. Once the war broke out, he couldn't guarantee the time. If the time was agreed upon, he would not be able to go. , that would be a breach of trust.

"OK."

"Try to get in touch with Tan Xing and, if possible, test his attitude." Luo Yao ordered again.

"yes."

…

On the 5th, the sky was not beautiful and it started to rain lightly. The enemy who came south from Nanzhang met up with the Japanese 13th Division that had abandoned Xiangyang. They attacked the Xianghe River at Zhongxiangjiukou and the sand ocean at Jingmen, and joined our defenders on the south bank of the Xianghe River. Fierce fighting.

Tang Bingtuan and Sun Lianzhong's Second Army went south to follow and block the attack.

Guarding the south bank of the Xiang River was the 33rd Army, which had only one light division and was no match for the Japanese. The 38th Division was ordered to block the Japanese troops in Yicheng and fought all day and night at the foot of Yicheng City. However, due to the loss of the position on the south bank of the Xianghe River, the 38th Army was under attack from its flanks. , there is no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield.

After experiencing several battles, the 38th Division already had the demeanor of a strong and iron-blooded army. Although the number of troops became smaller and smaller as the battle progressed, the spirit was completely different.

After the war, the headquarters awarded the 38th Division the title of "Flying Eagle" Division. This is a story for later and will not be mentioned for now.

On the 6th, Jingmen fell. Our army and the Japanese army fought fiercely near Shilipu, Jingmen, but in the end the Japanese army gained the upper hand.

The fall of Jingmen meant that the door to Yichang had been opened. The headquarters urgently dispatched Minister of Military and Political Affairs Chen Cixiu to fly to Yichang and serve as the commander of the right-wing corps to command the siege of Yichang. At the same time, the 18th Army of the Civil Engineering Department was ready to rush to Yichang at any time.

Once Yichang is lost, Luo Yao and others will have trouble returning to the mountain city. The Yangtze River waterway is blocked by the Japanese army and cannot cross the river. They can only detour to Guanzhong or take a plane. There is a military airport in Laohekou called Guanghua Airport. It can take off and land C-2 transport aircraft, but due to the Japanese bombing, it is being actively repaired. It is hard to say when it will be used.

Now that the war has reached this point, the role of intelligence is very limited, and it depends entirely on strength.

Because the battle is already on the table.

The previous so-called negotiations by the Japanese army to exchange materials for "prisoners of war" were nothing more than an illusion to paralyze the decision-makers in the fifth theater.

Of course, Li Delin also wanted to use negotiations to hold back the Japanese army. However, Li Delin's mistake was that he was too blindly confident in himself, or perhaps he was dazzled by his previous victory and wanted to eat the Japanese army in the Zaoyang area. main force.

What he didn't expect was that the Japanese army didn't give him this opportunity at all. Seizing the opportunity, they suddenly changed the direction of their attack.

There has been a similar action before, but some people just focused on eating rather than fighting, and ultimately misjudged, resulting in the current passive situation.

This was a major command error. Li Delin reviewed it at the military situation analysis meeting, but the review could not save the situation.

The old man lost his temper at the military meeting in Shancheng. He had been so complimentary before, but now he was scolding him harshly. That's why Chen Cixiu was appointed as the commander of the right wing corps urgently.

But the situation of the war will not be changed just because of Chen Cixiu. Chen Cixiu is not Monkey King. He can cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace and attack the Nantianmen. In the end, even the Jade Emperor was helpless and could only ask the Tathagata of the West for help.

…

Mountain City·Twilight Building.

Although Ye Chuan's villa on Nanquan Street has been returned to the Ye family, Ye Yun has not lived there.

Still living in Twilight Building, living with Tan Peiling.

That place was either rich or expensive, so if you lived there, you wouldn't be able to do many things. Moreover, they were all single women with prominent family backgrounds, so suitors were inevitable.

Living in Twilight Tower saved her a lot of trouble, the most important of which was that no one dared to come and harass her.

The power behind the Twilight Building is the military command. Living here is safe and secure, and you can avoid a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that Ye Yun is very interested in the forces behind the Twilight Building. Ye Chuan's cases are all related to the people behind the Twilight Building.

She never thought about "revenge" for Ye Chuan. Her brother simply brought it upon himself and did not deserve sympathy.

Not only did the Ye family's reputation in the country suffer, but it also cost them a large amount of wealth and the favors they had finally accumulated.

Favor is something that becomes less and less as you use it. It is not an easy thing to restore it.

Although the Ye family has developed in Nanyang, its roots are in China. All the heads of the Ye family know this. It is just like a married daughter. Only if her mother's family is strong will her daughter not be bullied by her husband's family.

Although the Ye family has hundreds of millions of wealth in Malai, the local indigenous people still make up the vast majority in Malai.

The conflict between the Chinese and the indigenous people has been going on for a long time. In addition, the foreigners secretly instigated the relationship between the Chinese and the indigenous people, so the relationship between the two parties was not good.

The Chinese are not in power and their mother country is strong. To them, it is almost like having a strong natal family.

Therefore, the Ye family naturally attaches great importance to domestic relationships and related industries.

"Pei Ling, did you buy a newspaper?" Ye Yun opened the door and returned home, only to find that Tan Peiling had returned home earlier than her.

"Well, didn't I tell you? The sales volume of a medium-sized newspaper is not bad, but the concept of running the newspaper is still too conservative." Tan Peiling said.

"Do you know that newspaper company has been spotted for a long time?" Ye Yun stroked her forehead and said.

"So what, I've already bought it. Is it possible that I can still let it go?" Tan Peiling said nonchalantly.

"Why don't you do some research before buying a newspaper?" Ye Yun asked.

"I just bought a newspaper, what's the problem?"

"The big question is, does the former president of the newspaper you bought still have some shares in his hands?"

"Yes, he still has 10% of the shares. We have agreed that if he wants to sell, he will give priority to selling it to me." Tan Peiling said.

"He has sold the 10 percent stake."

"What, this person named Qian is so untrustworthy?" Tan Peiling became anxious upon hearing this.

"Pei Ling, I'm telling you, you have to be careful..." Ye Yun sighed. She is a good sister who is good at everything, but she is a little too naive.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
