People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

After January [-], troops operating in the Taihang Mountains east of southeastern Shanxi and west of northern Henan quickly discovered a situation.

That is, the Japanese air force has been dispatched one after another to conduct low-altitude reconnaissance here.

The frequency of Japanese reconnaissance planes was very high, and they even flew out repeatedly one day.

Of course, these troops did not know that Miyazaki, who served as deputy chief of staff of the North China Front at this time, spent most of his time on reconnaissance aircraft.

Occasionally, Okamura Neiji would even take a reconnaissance plane together to check the situation in the Taihang Mountains area.

The Little Devil reconnaissance plane also took a lot of photos to learn more about the situation here in the Taihang Mountains.

In addition, they are constantly conducting investigations here through intelligence agencies so that they can get more valuable information.

Okamura Neiji is relatively cautious in the use of troops. He will actively prepare before each battle to ensure that he can have sufficient advantages.

Looking at its several battles, each time it was not a hasty decisive battle, but long-term preparations and then a combat strike.

Miyazaki is relatively bold on Monday. He will break the rules and always have some unconventional combat suggestions.

Of course, if he met other commanders, Miyazaki's unconventional combat suggestions on Monday would be directly rejected.

Even if he is stubborn, some commanders will not accept his suggestions and will even yell at him.

But Okamura Neiji is different. He can listen to suggestions, and he also pays more attention to Miyazaki Monday.

The combination of these two people can be said to be a powerful combination in terms of combat.

It was not until January 25 that the Little Japanese reconnaissance planes were not dispatched frequently.

At the North China Front Headquarters, Miyazaki also continued to simulate on the combat sandbox on Monday.

He already has a battle plan and is constantly improving it.

Okamura Neiji trusted him very much. This time, the First Army commanded the troops to conduct a mopping up operation in the Taihang Mountains area, and almost handed it over to Miyazaki Monday.

As for the previous combat plan proposed by Yoshimoto Seiichi, it has been temporarily shelved.

Yoshimoto Seiichi was inevitably somewhat dissatisfied with this, but he couldn't say anything more.

After all, he knew Okamura Neji's trust in Miyazaki Monday, and he knew even more about Miyazaki Monday's abilities, so he could only hide his dissatisfaction.

By the end of January, Miyazaki began to go to the 41st Division in Southeast Shanxi and the 110th Division in Northern Henan on Monday to learn about the situation.

He needs to know the specific situation of these troops to ensure that his combat plan is foolproof.

Miyazaki Monday is definitely flawed in character, but his abilities are definitely quite powerful.

Of course, for him, it was just meeting Okamura Neji. If it were someone else, he might not value his ability so much.

As the time comes to February, Miyazaki's battle plan for Monday has been completed.

During this period, he continued to fly reconnaissance planes for reconnaissance, and also learned about the situation in the Taihang Mountains through intelligence agencies.

Moreover, he visited almost all the 41st Division, 110th Division, Special Agent Regiment, Special Operations Regiment and other units.

As a staff officer, he has a complete grasp of everything he can and cannot understand.

After Okamura Neiji reviewed his battle plan, he approved it without any hesitation.

The Japanese First Army's upcoming combat operations in the Taihang Mountains will also be carried out in full accordance with this combat plan.

In addition, Okamura Neiji specially sent Miyazaki directly to the First Army Headquarters on Monday to assist Yoshimoto Teiichi in commanding operations.

After all, the battle plan was drawn up by Miyazaki on Monday. If various changes occurred during the battle, Miyazaki could quickly make adjustments and deployments on Monday.

Okamura Neiji also knew Miyazaki Monday's character, so he explained to Yoshimoto Seiichi alone, so that Yoshimoto Seiichi could tolerate Miyazaki Monday.

Otherwise, the two of them are likely to quarrel in the First Army Headquarters, thus affecting the overall operation.

By February [-]th, Miyazaki started to leave from Hebei Province on Monday and drove directly to the First Army Headquarters.

When he was at the 11th Army Headquarters, Yoshimoto Teiichi was the military chief of staff, and Miyazaki Mono was the colonel section chief.

The two people have a superior-subordinate relationship, but Miyazaki is very stubborn on Monday, and even Okamura Neji dares to contradict him, let alone Yoshimoto Teiichi.

So when they were in the 11th Army, it was inevitable that the two people would have quarrels.

This time Miyazaki came to the First Army Headquarters on Monday, and Yoshimoto's dissatisfaction increased again.

But due to Okamura Neji's face, he couldn't say anything more.

As Miyazaki arrived at the First Army headquarters on Monday, Japanese troops began preparations.

Lieutenant General Qing Shuijun, the commander of the 41st Division, directly assembled the 237th Regiment, 238th Regiment, Engineer Regiment, and Artillery Regiment.

These four regiments gathered 1000 men, and they were ready for attack.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Mamoru Iinuma, the commander of the 110th Division, assembled the 133rd Brigade, the Puppet Army Cavalry Regiment, the Field Artillery Regiment, and the Engineer Regiment.

The total strength of this Japanese and puppet army is 4000 people. They are under the unified command of the 133rd Brigade Commander.

These 5000 troops will be responsible for the attack on the Taihang Mountains.

In addition, Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent wing and Kojima Nobuhiro's special operations wing also began to assemble. They secretly gathered towards the southeastern Shanxi region.

Originally, according to the battle plan of First Army Commander Yoshimoto Seiichi, these two regiments were to serve as reserve forces.

But in Miyazaki's plan on Monday, they were to assume the absolute main combat mission.

At eight o'clock in the evening on February [-]th, night fell, the capital of Shanxi Province was too far away, and the headquarters of the First Army was located.

Lieutenant General Commander Yoshimoto Teiichi, Major General Chief of Staff Masaru Hanatani, and Major General Deputy Chief of Staff of the North China Front Miyazaki Monday and others gathered here in the conference room.

A major stood in front of them and gave a detailed report.

"Hirano-kun, this matter is very confidential and must be kept completely confidential."

"At the same time, the things you carry must be absolutely safe, otherwise once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

"I will communicate with the participating troops to assist you in your work."

After Yoshimoto Seiichi heard the report, he said with a serious expression on his face.

The Japanese Major in front of him is the head of the North China Front Army's water supply unit stationed in Jin Province.

The little devil's water supply team ostensibly ensures the safety of the little devil's water and other aspects, and ensures that it will not be poisoned.

But in fact, they develop weapons such as bacteria on a large scale and continue to use them in combat.

This time the First Army launched a combat operation against the Taihang Mountains in an attempt to destroy the activities of the 129th Division in the Taihang Mountains.

But even though they were confident in this battle, the little devils knew very well the strength of the Eighth Route Army's expanded troops.

Therefore, they plan to directly arrange for the water supply troops to launch operations after the battle is over to conduct bacterial operations in the Taihang Mountains.

In this way, the Eighth Route Army will be affected if they want to continue their activities in the Taihang Mountains.

Even if the troops could be reorganized, it would lead to widespread poisoning, making it impossible to gather combat effectiveness.

"Don't worry, Commander, we will be very careful and there won't be any problems."

Genichi Hirano, the little Japanese commander, had a respectful expression on his face and immediately answered.

Yoshimoto Teiichi gave a detailed explanation and directly arranged for Genichi Hirano to prepare.

After Genichi Hirano left, Yoshimoto Sadashi began to discuss with Miyazaki Monday.

He is planning to ask Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru and Miyazaki to go to Luzhou City in southeastern Shanxi on Monday to take command personally.Obviously, in this battle, Yoshimoto Teiichi planned to completely delegate power, allowing Miyazaki to take full command on Monday.

As for Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru, he is purely an intelligence officer and assisted in commanding in the past.

Miyazaki did not refuse on Monday and agreed directly.

The Japanese army is ready here, they are going to launch an attack on Taihang Mountain.

As long as the troops here in Taihang Mountain are eliminated, the balance of mutual support between Taihang Mountain, Taiyue Mountain, and Zhongtiao Mountain will be broken.

Then after the Taihang Mountain battle is over, they can effectively launch combat operations against Taiyue Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain.

Time is passing, and the night is passing by in a hurry, and it is ten o'clock in the morning on the [-]th.

Here in Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, in the guerrilla headquarters.

Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei and others in front of him with a surprised expression on his face.

Chu Yunfei and others came here directly without even saying hello this time.

"Ziyun, look at this document."

Chu Yunfei had a solemn expression on his face, and he handed a document to Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun took the document and looked at it carefully. When he read the contents of the message, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Master, is this news true?"

"Where did you get this information?"

Chen Ziyun had a heavy face, looked at Chu Yunfei in front of him, and asked hurriedly.

"Commander Chen, the information was obtained from the First Theater Command Commander's Department."

"Then the report was sent to the capital. After many checks, the committee has determined that the news is true."

"But where they plan to use it, we don't know yet."

Ouyang He looked at Chen Ziyun and immediately replied.

The content of the document that Chen Ziyun viewed was a detailed description of the Jaap's preparations to use bacterial weapons for combat.

And the bacterial weapons that the Japs want to use are currently in Pingyang City, an important town in southern Shanxi.

After reading the documents, Chen Ziyun also knew why Chu Yunfei and others came in a hurry.

Now there is no shortage of weapons, ammunition, and military supplies for various ministries.

However, medical treatment has always been a shortcoming. If the little devils used bacterial weapons, they would have no way to deal with it.

"Ziyun, we have always been a serious nuisance to the little devils. They are storing such things here in Pingyang City."

"If you use it on us, the consequences will be disastrous. I came here this time to see if you have a solution."

"Even if the little devils don't plan to use it on us, no matter where they use it, it will cause great harm."

"Not to mention the elders of the Three Jin Dynasties, even in areas such as Hebei Province, they are also our compatriots. We cannot let the Japanese army harm them."

Chu Yunfei said with an upright face, his attitude was very firm.

Chen Ziyun nodded and looked at the map.

The best way now is to attack Pingyang City immediately and capture Pingyang City quickly.

Pingyang City is the area occupied by the Japs. Even in Pingyang City, the Japs would not use it rashly.

In this way, as long as these things are found, they can be destroyed quickly.

But it is basically impossible to attack Pingyang City and capture Pingyang City directly.

The 69th Division is still stationed here in Pingyang City, and the fortifications here are very strong.

Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to fight before, but failed to win.

What's more, there is the 36th Infantry Division in the Yunxian area and the 37th Division in the Jiangcheng area.

These two divisions can rush over for reinforcements at any time. If they don't attack the Pingyang City troops, they may be completely wiped out.

"Master, I'm afraid we have to contact the independent detachment for this matter. If they cooperate, we can still take the initiative."

"If nothing else, here in Jin Province, their ability to obtain information is still very good."

"If they continue to provide information, we can know where these things are at all times and still have the ability to destroy them."

"If Master is trustworthy, leave this matter to me and I will handle it!"

Chen Ziyun pondered for a while, thought over and over again, and then took the initiative to speak.

When saying these words, Chen Ziyun also looked at Ouyang He specifically.

This news came from the First War Zone, and Chen Ziyun believed it.

But how the first theater got the news is worthy of scrutiny.

Now the troops of the first theater have retreated to the area south of the Yellow River. When Wei Junru was there before, they were only in the southern Shanxi area.

In terms of their ability to engage in intelligence, they are not even as good as Yan Laoxi.

At this time, the first theater of operations had retreated to the south of the Yellow River, and they no longer had any intelligence capabilities.

"Ziyun, if that's the case, I'll leave this matter entirely to you."

"You can move up and down the 201st Division at your will, and any personnel can assist you."

"If you have any requests, you can contact me at any time and I will fully support you."

"Whether you need support from the First War Zone or the Second War Zone Commander's Department, I will apply for you."

When Chu Yunfei heard what Chen Ziyun said, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Chen Ziyun was not polite and directly made a request, that is, let Ouyang He stay to assist him.

Chu Yunfei agreed and let Ouyang He stay here in Yangcheng.

In the afternoon, Chu Yunfei began to return to the Zhongtiao Mountain Division.

After Li Yunlong got the news, he started to set off and immediately came to Yangcheng.

"Director Ouyang, this matter is of great importance. I hope you can fully cooperate with me."

"If you have any information, please contact me at any time. I need the detailed location of these things."

"Of course it would be best if we could transport these things."

"You also understand what Master said. You can make any request and I will try my best to satisfy you."

Chen Ziyun looked at Ouyang He in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Commander Chen, don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you."

"If possible, Commander Chen can give me some radios alone so that the message can be delivered quickly."

"Also, Commander Chen should be able to tell that the Japs are about to launch a combat operation."

Ouyang He spoke immediately without any hesitation. (End of chapter)
