After conquering Yu County, Yun Hu did not stay here longer. After placing the prisoners under guard, he immediately went south and moved his headquarters to Laiyuan.
When attacking Yu County, the national army was too fast, and the reconnaissance force directly attacked the Japanese headquarters. The direct result was that the Japanese commander did not spread the news even before his death, so that the city of Yu County was They were all broken, but the Japanese and puppet troops in the direction of Laiyuan showed no reaction at all.
Under this situation, it was not until Guo Haiyu¡¯s troops arrived at Laiyuan City at 5:30 in the morning and launched an attack that the Japanese and puppet troops in Laiyuan realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
Fortunately, Laiyuan City has always been an important military town with high walls, so the Chinese army could not break through the Japanese defenses for a while. The Japanese soldiers in the city also had the opportunity to report the situation to Baoding and the North China Front Army Headquarters and ask for help. .
¡°Obviously, neither the top brass of the North China Front nor the senior commanders at the base camp expected that Li Guoyao¡¯s troops would send troops at this time, especially Okamura Neji.
The main reason why Okamura Neji was surprised was that in his opinion, Li Guoyao's current thoughts could not be in North China, and it was even unknown whether Li Guoyao himself was in North China.
There is such an inference because the intelligence department under Okamura Neji discovered some secrets of the Jiuji Army.
Unlike ordinary Japanese officers, Okamura Neiji was a spy, so he attached great importance to intelligence.
Okamura Neiji is very clear that the quality, gains and losses of intelligence work play an extremely important role in war decision-making, combat deployment and even the final victory or defeat of the war.
The Japanese army has reaped the dividends in this regard. Before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, due to its meticulous intelligence work, the Japanese military already knew the situation of the Qing army very well. It even knew better than the Chinese themselves how many people could be dispatched from each province. The battle opened a shortcut for Japan to finally win the war.
Later, officials of the Qing Dynasty concluded that the Japanese army "knew our military conditions and sent me to make me first, causing the people to lead the leader, and I was backward." This reveals to a certain extent that the Japanese army won first in intelligence.
Therefore, since the Meiji Restoration, because the Japanese army has repeatedly tasted the benefits of collecting intelligence in its external expansion wars, it has attached great importance to intelligence work.
¡°The current war is a battle over national destiny. How could the Japanese army not pay attention to intelligence work?
Therefore, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army conducted intelligence reconnaissance through various channels and methods. It can be said that it was pervasive and exhausted its efforts.
Just two examples will give you a glimpse of this.
During the Songhu Battle on August 13, one of the main forces of the Chinese army, the 51st Division of the 74th Army of the Army, was transferred from Hanzhong in southern Shaanxi to participate in the battle in Songhu. When the division took a train from Baoji to Shanghai, it was bombed by Japanese aircraft wherever it went. Even when it arrived at Pukou Station in Nanjing at night, it was accurately bombed by Japanese aircraft.
The commander of the division felt something strange. He thought of the sudden invitation to a meal by the resident Italian priest before the troops departed, and immediately reported it to his superiors and requested an investigation. After investigation, it was indeed confirmed that the church where the church was located was a latent international espionage organization that was in contact with Japanese intelligence agencies. Weapons, communication radios, correspondence, etc. were seized, and there was solid evidence.
It can be inferred from this that the Japanese army has long understood and mastered important military information such as the deployment of the national army across the country, the tasks it undertakes, and the time of operations.
Another example is that after the Songhu Battle broke out on August 13, the 72nd Army of the Chinese Army set up its headquarters in the Guanyin Hall near the No. 1 Bridge on Zhongshan Avenue. It became a target of visits and condolences by reporters and local enthusiasts. The then army commander Sun Yuanliang had a premonition and ordered the military headquarters to be transferred.
As soon as they left, the Japanese naval guns aimed at the Guanyin Hall and fired, and the entire Guanyin Hall was razed to the ground.
Afterwards, the army headquarters was forced to move in a hide-and-seek manner, but enemy artillery fire always followed closely.
From these examples, it can be seen that the Japanese army regards intelligence reconnaissance as a shortcut to victory in the war, and strives to win the war at the minimum cost, so it always attaches great importance to intelligence reconnaissance work. The Japanese army not only has a strong intelligence collection capability, but also has a strong intelligence analysis capability. This is a strength that opponents should pay attention to and learn from.
Precisely because he had taken a lot of advantage in intelligence, the first thing Okamura Neiji did after taking office was to rectify the secret service department and transferred the intelligence expert Hattori Saburo to his subordinates to take charge of the intelligence department.
And Hattori did not live up to the expectations of Okamura Neiji. Under his responsibility, the Japanese military's secret service in North China developed very rapidly, and its intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities were greatly improved.A substantial improvement has been achieved.
As the Ninth Army is the most powerful opponent of the Japanese army in North China, Okamura Neiji naturally dare not ignore the existence of this force, so he has been continuously infiltrating this force over the years.
Hard work pays off, and through the efforts of THT, many special agents were finally able to infiltrate the Jiujiu Army.
Although these people are only at the lowest level of the Jiujiu Army and cannot detect the real secrets at all, they can detect some of the movements of the Jiujiu Army.
Especially some time ago, Li Guoyao mobilized troops from the pass to the north on a large scale, which quickly attracted the attention of Okamura Neiji. After a period of investigation, coupled with the battle reports returned from the northeastern region, Okamura Neiji realized that , the so-called anti-alliance and volunteer forces in the Northeast are probably Li Guoyao's disguised troops.
Firstly, it is impossible for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to completely annihilate the division-level combat units of the Imperial Army, but Li Guoyao's troops do.
Secondly, Li Guoyao¡¯s troops have a history of disguised infiltration. They had disguised themselves on Tubal Road before and also disguised themselves as the Imperial Japanese Army. Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with pretending to be the Anti-Japanese Alliance and the Volunteer Army.
In addition, since the Battle of Zhangjiakou, Li Guoyao's troops suddenly fell silent and did not conduct large-scale battles with the Imperial Japanese Army for eight months.
Although small-scale conflicts continued, and the ministry even sent a large number of small teams to go deep into Hebei, Shanxi and other places to carry out sabotage, there was never a single battle above the regiment level.
Therefore, after Okamura Neiji received the report from the secret service department, his first reaction was to be fooled. Li Guoyao actually played a trick on them under their noses to build a plank road and secretly seduce Chen Cang.
????????????????? But Okamura Neiji didn¡¯t say anything. Anyway, the matter has reached this point. It¡¯s useless to talk more. It¡¯s better to pretend not to know and use the trick.
Therefore, under this situation, Okamura Neiji organized an attack on Henan. Under this situation, Okamura Neiji did not deploy too many troops on the northern front. He did not think that Li Guoyao could be in an emergency when the Northeast War was in full swing. Come back and intervene in the war within the pass.
Faster Even if Li Guoyao's troops withdraw their troops from the Northeast, it doesn't matter. Okamura Neji is not a newcomer. He knows very well that the war is far more complicated than imagined.
War has always been a technical job. Since the beginning of war, the next combat mission has often been determined before the combat troops have finished cleaning the battlefield. This allows the troops to rest, reorganize, replenish, and In terms of training, reconnaissance, etc., there are clear priorities and proper arrangements in time.
But obviously Li Guoyao¡¯s troops did not have such time. Even if they immediately withdrew their troops from Manchuria, they would only rush to fight when they came back.
"Besides, the journey from Manchuria to Datong within the Pass is more than a thousand miles. If the army marches on two feet, it will not be possible to come back for less than a month."
If it had only been a month or two, their war in Yuzhong would have been over long ago, which is why Okamura Neji is so confident.
However, God's calculations are not as good as those of others. Not only did Li Guoyao's troops take action, but they also captured Yu County and surrounded Laiyuan with troops, aiming directly at Baoding. This was entirely aimed at Jizhong and Pingjin areas, which made Gang Gang Murura Neiji, you have to guard against him.
