The blood of the Anti-Japanese War stained the mountains and rivers

The military literacy of the devil officers was very good, and everyone was sitting upright. Except for those sizzling water bottles, the entire combat room was silent.

"Let me introduce the latest information we have obtained."

Devil Commander Sano Taro waved at the intelligence officer standing beside him, breaking the silence.

"Hi Yi!"

The intelligence staff officer, who had already prepared, bowed his head and immediately opened the file in his hand.

"According to intelligence, the troops of the Chinese Army were scattered and withdrawn after the Battle of Gaoyou. It has been found out that they have regrouped. Among them, one part of the Sulu Guerrilla Corps was gathered in Taizhou, one part was gathered in Dongtai, and one part of the 89th Army was gathered in Xinghua , the North Jiangsu Guerrilla Corps and the area around Jieshou north of Gaoyou..."

"Among them, there are more than [-] people from Xinghua, about four battalions from Jieshou, two guerrilla regiments in Dongtai, five guerrilla regiments in Taizhou, and one guerrilla battalion in Fanchuan Town... and one part of the New Fourth Army..."

Although the Sano detachment did not take large-scale military operations after the capture of Gaoyou, their intelligence department was not idle, and they operated efficiently and carried out intelligence work almost non-stop.

The devil's intelligence department has already placed countless spies and agents everywhere, and now there are a large number of traitors to provide them with information.

Therefore, it took almost no effort to find out the situation of the Chinese garrisons everywhere, except for the designation, strength and firepower configuration of the Chinese troops.

Guizibing's intelligence department even listed all the battalion-level and above officers of the Chinese army, including the combat resumes of Yang Ling and Blacksmith.

It has to be said that the intelligence department of the Devil Soldiers is conscientious. Their pervasive spying has left the Chinese army with almost no secrets at all, and the Devils have done a good job of keeping secrets, which often makes many Chinese troops confused.

Sometimes the Chinese army fought with the devils for several days, and they were so confused that they didn't know the number of the devils on the other side, but the devils knew the Chinese army well.

In this situation of unequal intelligence, the devil soldiers can advance and retreat freely in every attack, while the Chinese army is always passive.

And it was the same this time. After the investigation by the intelligence agencies these days, Taro Sano already knew the gathering places of the Chinese troops everywhere, and now he just had to act.

The devil officers sitting upright all looked serious, listening carefully to the situation of the various Chinese troops obtained by the intelligence department. This was already a habit of them before the war.

Sano Taro did not launch a large-scale pursuit after the capture of Gaoyou before, because he was not familiar with the terrain and it was not easy to catch the scattered Chinese troops.

And now that the scattered Chinese troops have gathered again, this has become his opportunity. He is going to come to a thunderbolt to sweep the holes and sink to the bottom to wipe out the Chinese troops in this area.

"The Chinese army has relaxed its vigilance and gathered together again. Our fighter planes have arrived, and I have decided to launch an attack! I also hope that you will work together to eliminate the Chinese army and occupy the entire territory of Jiangsu!"

The ghost commander Sano Taro waited until the intelligence staff finished his speech, his eyes shone with a bloodthirsty light like a beast, and his sonorous and powerful voice made all the ghost officers blood boil!

"Hi Yi!"

The fanatical sub-officers have long been eager for war, and when they heard that Sano Taro finally announced the attack, they already wished they could lead their troops to rush forward now.

"Takahashi-san—"

"Hi!"

A short and stocky devil Zhong Zuo stood up in response, with an uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"The target of your brigade is the Chinese army in Dongtai. You must wipe out the Chinese army in Dongtai! I don't want any living Chinese army in Dongtai!"

"Hi Yi!"

Captain Takahashi bowed heavily, a stern look flashed across his face, he was ready to kill.

"Yoshino-san, the target of your brigade is Tai County. Can you capture Tai County within two days?"

"Detachment leader, don't worry, my brigade will not disgrace the prestige of the imperial soldiers!"

Sano Taro nodded, then turned his gaze to a tall and thin major on the left.

"Hirayama-san, the Subei guerrillas in Jieshou will be handed over to you, and the shame of the Jiangfang troops being annihilated must be wiped away!" Taro Sano said through gritted teeth.

The tall and thin devil Shaozuo Hirayama respected the sharp eyes, bowed his head and promised: "I will use the head of the commander of the Chinese army to pay homage to the officers and soldiers who died in battle!"

"According to intelligence, Xinghua is the location of the deputy headquarters of the China War Zone, and a cavalry brigade will launch a surprise attack on it. I want to capture the commander of the China Army alive..."

Devil commander Taro Sano quickly assigned combat missions to his troops. This time they divided into three groups and went straight to the gathering points of the various Chinese troops.

"The code name of this operation is the "Wolf" plan, and the attack time of each unit will be on the night of December [-]. I hope that you will be as fast and fierce as wolves, tear the resistance troops of the Chinese army to pieces, and use the knives in your hands to open up the empire. Expand the soil!" Sano Taro drew out his sharp saber and held it high.

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

Accompanied by the sound of clanging sabers unsheathed, the officers shouted frantically, and everyone's eyes shone with excitement.

Soon, excited devil officers filed out of the war room, and the mobilization of the code-named "Wolf" began immediately.

All the devils' vacations were cancelled, and the devils of each unit began to distribute weapons and ammunition, equip dry food, and actively prepare for the upcoming attack. There was a chill atmosphere in Gaoyou City.

Those ghost soldiers who were still shouting for war a few days ago also returned to the camp one after another. They finally waited for the battle order and couldn't wait to start attacking.

In Taro Sano's battle plan, this was a raid operation, and the attack speed had to be fast, and it had to be wiped out with thunderous speed before the Chinese army could react.

So this time the tank squadron and artillery brigade stayed behind in Gaoyou, and the troops attacking from all directions were all lightly armed, with the purpose of catching the Chinese army by surprise.

He felt that his paralyzing effect had already manifested, and the Chinese troops everywhere hadn't noticed their actions, and the time he chose was also very subtle, that is, the alternation of the new year and the old year.

Now the Chongqing government has vigorously advocated a new calendar year that is synchronized with the world, hoping to be in line with international standards, and launching an attack on the Chinese army at this time will definitely exceed the expectations of the Chinese army. This time Taro Sano is full of confidence.

Text Chapter 983 Armed Forces Prepare for War

"According to the information, the devils in Gaoyou have already begun to gather on a large scale and are on standby. It is estimated that they will start in a few days..."

The devils have a large number of spies and traitors in China to provide information, and they know the numbers and various situations of the Chinese troops every time.

Yang Ling also attached great importance to the importance of intelligence, and invested a lot of manpower and material resources to build his own intelligence network. Although it was only limited to Jiangsu and the scale was not large, he would be able to quickly find out if the devils were in trouble.

Now in the maintenance meeting supported by the devils stranded in Gaoyou, there are many hidden stakes left by Yang Ling. These people have different identities, and they are all active under the banner of Sino-Japanese friendship. They always pay attention to the movements of the devils.

Although preparations for the devil's assembly were carried out in secret, it was impossible to hide such a large-scale military mobilization from everyone, especially those who maintained the meeting.

Because it is not enough to rely on their heavy soldiers to carry the devil's heavy supplies, etc., it is necessary to organize civilian husbands from the maintenance association to assist.

The ghost soldiers wandering around in groups in Gaoyou City all returned to the camp, and martial law began in the city. The maintenance committee organized civilians to start distributing supplies. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the devils must be launching some military operations.

The combat targets of the devils stationed in Gaoyou are nothing more than the Subei Corps in the Jieshou area, the 89th Army in Xinghua, and the Sulu guerrilla forces in the direction of Taizhou.

Therefore, on the night when the devil issued the mobilization order, the information about the devil's abnormal mobilization was placed on the desk of Yang Ling, the commander of the North Subei Corps in Jieshou.

Yang Ling didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly called all the commanders who were scattered on the front lines back to hold a military meeting to deal with the devil's military actions.

"The devil's large-scale military preparations, the goal is self-evident, either to hit us, or Xinghua, or in the direction of Taizhou, we are likely to be the devil's attack target, so I ordered all troops to enter immediately Combat state!"

"Damn, I've already had itchy hands. As long as the little devil dares to come, I will let him come and go!" Shen Biao, the commander of the third battalion, rubbed his hands, eager to try.

A few days ago, an infantry squadron of Devils attacked Jieshou along the road, preparing to cooperate with Jiang Fang's motorboat squadron to attack Jieshou in one fell swoop and open up contact with Baoying.

But the motorboat squadron encountered Yang Ling's ambush and the whole army was wiped out. Seeing that the situation was not good, the devil infantry squadron going north along the road retreated to Gaoyou, leaving Shen Biao in vain, and he was always unwilling.
