Chapter 227 Jinhe Plan
Chapter 227 Jinhe Plan
Chen Gongshu frowned for a while, then whispered, "Sit down, you have successfully passed my final assessment of you."
“And it’s far better than I thought.”
Chen Yang saluted and sat upright...
"Actually, you don't have to be so restrained. You are now a mature agent, and this is not the Jinling Training Brigade."
"Besides, if we really talk about official positions, I have to call you sir."
Chen Yang was slightly stunned, and then he reacted instantly. Because of Xu's defection, the Shanghai Military Control Station was leaderless.
Before the new station chief Wang Pucheng took over, Chen Yang was promoted on the spot by Director Dai and served as the operations commander for a period of time.
Of course, after Wang Pucheng took over this position, no further instructions were issued.
However, Chen Gongshu knew clearly that Director Dai had never revoked the other party's position.
His current position is still the commander of the Military Control Commission's operations in Shanghai, and he is Chen Gongshu's superior.
In other words, if he had an order requiring the assistance of the Shanghai Military Control Station, the Shanghai Military Control Station would have to cooperate even if it meant sacrificing all his family fortune.
"The student doesn't dare." Chen Yang replied in fear.
The two were silent for a while, and Chen Yang said in a deep voice: "Sir, what is the purpose of your meeting with me this time?"
Chen Gongshu took out a stack of papers from his arms and handed it over.
"Golden Lily Project." Looking at the large characters on the paper, Chen Yang's heart trembled slightly. He flipped the paper and started to check.
The plan was four pages long. After reading it, Chen Yang took a breath and couldn't help asking, "Sir, how could you design such an action plan? It's too risky and the cost is too high."
Chen Gongshu lowered his head after hearing this, and after a while, he said quietly, "Chen Yang, do you know that something big happened in Shancheng recently?"
"Are you talking about the defection of the party and state veterans?" Chen Yang asked hesitantly.
"No, it's about the Ninth War Zone Strategic Deployment Map being leaked," Chen Gongshu sighed. "Huang Chengyuan, deputy director of the Military Control Commission's Confidential Office, was bribed by Nan Tian Yunzi and arbitrarily gave the Ninth War Zone Strategic Deployment Map, which was submitted by the Ministry of National Defense to the Second Military Command Office, to the Japanese."
"The mountain city is in chaos now. If we ask the troops to switch defense zones now, it will not only consume huge manpower and material resources, but also give the Japanese an opportunity to launch an attack on Changsha ahead of schedule."
"This is something no one wants to see, so we can only use this plan."
Chen Yang frowned even more tightly.
After the main force of the National Army evacuated Wuhan, the Fifth War Zone troops led by General Li were located to the west and north of Wuhan.
所部共6个集团军13个军34个步兵师和1个骑兵师、1个骑兵旅,部署在皖西、豫南、鄂南和鄂西北广大地域。
To the south and east of Wuhan are Xue Boling's Ninth War Zone's eight army groups, 8 corps and 21 infantry divisions, deployed in the key areas of northwestern Jiangxi, southern Hubei and Hunan.
In addition, there are a number of special forces and local guerrilla forces in the two war zones.
The above troops formed an encirclement of Wuhan. To the east of the Ninth War Zone were the 4 army groups, 22 infantry divisions and 2 infantry brigades of the Third War Zone under General Gu.
The Japanese troops stationed in the Wuhan area are the famous 11th Army Group, and Chen Yang is no stranger to this 11th Army Group.
The commander of the 11th Army Corps was Commander Okamura, the former commander of the Second Division of the Japanese Army, which was also the famous Sendai Division. This division and the Sixth Division of Reijo Yotani, also known as the Kumamoto Division, were known as the two most powerful divisions in Japan.
Now, although Commander Okamura is no longer the commander of the 11nd Division, the th Army under his command still has seven divisions and two mixed brigades, with a total strength of .
During this period, Commander Okamura was constantly looking for opportunities to launch an attack on the troops stationed in Changsha.
Its purpose was very clear, which was to use military strikes to cooperate with the Japanese government's policy of political inducement to force the Nationalist government to surrender.
Chen Yang read it twice before putting the document down. Chen Gongshu took out a match, lit it, burned the "Golden Lily Project" document to ashes, and poured it into the spittoon under the table.
Chen Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, I don't think Commander Okamura's 11th Army with only more than people would be bold enough to start a war against Changsha, right?"
Chen Gongshu frowned and said slowly: "But it's not just the 11th Army that is eyeing Changsha."
"Moreover, according to Yamashiro's agents lurking in the Northeast, they provided the latest strategic information of the Kwantung Army."
"The 6th Division, which was originally scheduled to be transferred to the Northeast, has now been suspended."
"The Kwantung Army's winter plan to launch an attack on the Soviet Union on January 1 was postponed."
"Ah." This news was indeed a bit beyond Chen Yang's expectations.
Shen Shuyi has been lurking in the Special High Section for so long, and the military has been providing Soviet military intelligence to the Japanese through him, hoping that the Japanese will go to war with the Soviet Union as soon as possible, thereby reducing the pressure on the Chinese battlefield.
Why did it suddenly die down?
"Sir, is your information reliable?" Chen Yang still had some doubts. Given the temptation of 400 million barrels of oil, the Japanese would not hesitate even if they were to bet on 600,000 Kwantung Army.
Moreover, the Mitsui Zaibatsu had already determined the oil reserves on Karafuto Island. This piece of poisonous fat was enough for them to take the risk of going to war with the Soviets.
"Some of the information is top secret. Originally, I was not allowed to know it with my level of rank. However, this time, in order to cooperate with the implementation of the Golden Lily Plan, Boss Dai specially approved me to review some confidential information."
Chen Gongshu said slowly: "According to the information sent back by the agents hiding in the Northeast."
"This time, Japan suspended the implementation of the Winter Plan because they instigated a Soviet general, Ryushikov, to defect in the Far East."
Chen Yang touched his nose and said, "A Soviet general defected? That sounds incredible."
Chen Gongshu shook his head and continued, "It's normal. According to our intelligence, in the past two years, the Soviet Union has been carrying out an increasingly brutal "Great Purge Movement."
"Three of the five Soviet marshals were killed, three of the four first-level commanders were killed, twelve of the twelve second-level army commanders were killed, leaving none alive, sixty-seven army commanders were killed sixty, and one hundred and ninety-nine division commanders were killed one hundred and thirty-six."
"There was a 'stain' in Lyusikov's file, and he feared that he would also be affected by the purge, so he quickly came into contact with Japanese spies, then sneaked across the border to Manchuria, the northeastern territory, and defected to the Japanese Kwantung Army."
"What's worse is that this guy betrayed the Soviet Union and brought with him a large amount of top-secret intelligence."
"In addition to the troops stationed in the Far East, there are also Soviet intelligence teams lurking in Japan."
