Secret War Silent

It has been three days since Luo Yao led the 401 team back to Laohekou Town, and the various tasks have not changed much.

The Japanese army changed the secret code, but the kernel remained unchanged. It should be that they discovered that their secret communication had been leaked.

The core remains unchanged, so it is nothing more than a matter of time to decipher it. This is no difficulty for the 401 team who has mastered the method.

These days, the people of Laohekou are immersed in the joy of the victory of the "Pumpkin Shop". The streets have also returned to bustling, and the ruins caused by the bombing have begun to be cleaned up.

Because there were no casualties, the ruins were cleared up very quickly, and even repair work was started on some of the less damaged ones.

The commander-in-chief of the fifth war zone is still in Shangyuan Village, and he probably won't move back anytime soon, because it's safer there.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. In the middle of the day, you only need to wear a coat, but the temperature will be a little low in the morning and evening.

"Leader, you sign here."

"Well, good." Luo Yao glanced at the content of the document, took out the pen, and signed his name on it, of course not "Luo Yao", but Fang Yuan.

Li Delin is still trustworthy. He did not publicize too much in the newspapers about the role of the 401 team in the "Pumpkin Shop" victory. Huang Weigang and others seemed to have become the most popular anti-Japanese heroes in the five theaters.

Huang Weigang was promoted. He used to be the commander of the 57th Army and the commander of the 38th Division. Now, he is also the commander of the 57th Army, but Guaner has been promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the 33rd Army. Commander in Chief.

Tong Gehua, the commander of the 112th brigade, fought bravely and made great contributions in the Battle of Pumpkin Shop. He was promoted to the commander of the 38th Division on the recommendation of Huang Weigang.

The officers and soldiers of the 38th Division who participated in the "revenge" operation were promoted and rewarded to varying degrees, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

Huang Weigang and Tong Gehua came to the theater commander's office to accept their promotion and new appointment, and they even came to Laohekou to have a drink with Luo Yao.

They are all straightforward soldiers, know how to be grateful, and know how their credit and promotion came about.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the end of May.

The goal of the Japanese army in the next stage is already very clear, pointing at Yichang, but most of the troops in the Fifth Theater were dragged north of the Xianghe River by the Japanese army.

Li Delin's move to the Japanese army's proposal to exchange prisoners was not entirely based on interests, but more because he wanted to use negotiations to delay the Japanese army's actions.

Drag south, fight north.

Wait until the north regains Xinye, Xiangyang and other lost ground, and then the army goes south to fight the Japanese army in the Yichang area.

The idea is good, but the Japanese army is not a fool. Sonobe and Ichiro can be recommended by Seishiro Sakagaki as the commander of the 11th Army, they must have some talents.

Although Luo Yao was not optimistic about this plan, others said lightly that he was indeed not as experienced as others in how to command a large army to fight.

Just do your best to the best of your ability.

Chapter 0783 The situation took a turn for the worse

"Our army regained Zaoyang!"

A striking big black letter appeared in the latest issue of "Zhenzhong Daily". When ordinary people got it in their hands, the ink was still wet.

Take Xinye, take Xiangyang...

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

This string of victories, is it real?

If Luo Yao hadn't been a human being in two lifetimes, maybe he wouldn't 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 history and details of these victories, and the reports will not tell you about them in detail.

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

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

These can really see who wins and who loses.

He believed that there must be staff members in the Commander's Department of the Fifth War Zone who were doing the same statistics, analysis and research as him.

This was originally one of the responsibilities of the staff.

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

"Team leader, you've been looking at it all afternoon, what did you see?" Yang Si knocked on the door and walked in, seeing Luo Yaokan looking at the statistical chart, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"No, after all, I think it's a bit strange that the Japanese army has no chance of making a comeback in the Xiangdong Plain, but they have been refusing to withdraw. Such a war of attrition will be extremely unfavorable to them." Luo Yao said.

"I don't know anything about military affairs, but it's really abnormal to hear what the team leader said." Yang Si nodded.

"Where is Tang Bingtuan?"

"I don't know."

"Hey, this is not something we should worry about. Is there something wrong?" Luo Yao smiled bitterly.

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

"This matter, the current task is not very heavy, everyone has been working hard for more than a month, it is time to relax, the nerves are too tight, the strings are easy to break, but you can't rush to rest and relax, you have to stagger reasonable arrangements .” Luo Yao nodded.

"What I'm waiting for is your words." Yang Si said with a chuckle.

"Team leader, there is an emergency notification in the theater, the main force of the Japanese army suddenly went south..." Wen Xueren walked into Luo Yao's office without closing the door.

Luo Yao and Yang Si immediately looked at each other when they heard the words.

"Team leader, it seems that your worry is not unreasonable." Yang Sidao.

Luo Yao smiled wryly, he really didn't want his worry to come true, because, once it was true, the situation in the fifth theater would take a turn for the worse.

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

This trick is really good.

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

"What about the rotation?"

"Let's proceed as planned. One or two people will take a break at a time, so 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 the outside and called out. Since Baolin Temple moved back to Wuchang Hall, he went out early every morning and came back in the evening.

No one knew what he was doing outside, and no one dared to ask more questions. He was directly subordinate to Luo Yao's confidant, and they were all members of the military commander.

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

Yang Fan took it, drank the whole glass of water in one breath, then put down the glass and said, "The man was found, and he changed his identity, and the commander of the theater will be consulted."

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

"Huangzhou Pavilion." Yang Fan said, "The special agent of the Investigation Office of the Political Department of the Fifth War Zone is conducting intensive special training in Huangzhou Pavilion. He was invited to serve as a special instructor, and the woman surnamed Zhang on Puning Street lives with him. "

"Can you get 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 faction's intelligence. Not to mention that I've already registered with them, even if I haven't registered with them, it's hard to get in." Yang Fan said.

Although the secret service agencies of the Guangxi clique are not as good as the military command, they still have certain capabilities in their own one-third of an acre of land.

And it is very repulsive to Lao Jiang's central department.

"Tan Xing, the investigator of the third department of the investigation room, is a classmate of my temporary training class. Although I don't know him very well, 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. It would be easier to do this if he knew someone.

"Here, you go to Team Leader Jiang, he is the boss. After you figure it out, let's find a way." Luo Yao ordered.

"Yes, Team Leader Jiang wants to see you, do you want to see me?" Yang Fan said.

"What does he want to see me for?"

"I didn't say, I guess I want to catch up with you. After all, brother, you are getting higher and higher in the military command. Basically, those who are released basically 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 it can't be here." Luo Yao thought for a while, the transportation station of Ebei Hotel was given to him by Dai Yunong, and it's not a big deal for him to meet the person in charge of the Laohekou Group of the Military Command .

"This shouldn't be a problem. I can ask him to arrange it, whether it's in Hubei Hotel or other places, try to keep it as secret as possible." Yang Fan said.

"Well, don't be too deliberate. In fact, I guess the Hubei Hotel has long been exposed to the intelligence agencies of the Fifth War Zone." Luo Yao said.

"Understood, we set the time, or did they arrange it and let us know?"

"They have arranged the meeting place, and I will decide the time, just let me know in advance." Luo Yao thought about it for a while. He didn't have free time. Once a big battle broke out, he couldn't guarantee the time. If he agreed on a time, he wouldn't be able to go there. , that is breaking faith in people.

"Ok."

"That Tan Xing, try your best to get in touch with him, and test his attitude if possible." Luo Yao ordered again.

"Yes."

……

On the 5th, the sky was not beautiful, and it began to rain lightly. The enemy from Nanzhang and the 13th Division of the Japanese Army who abandoned Xiangyang joined forces. Fierce battle.

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

Guarding the south bank of the Xianghe River is the 33rd Army, with only one lightly armed division, which is not an opponent of the Japanese army at all. The 38th Division was ordered to block the Japanese army in Yicheng. , I have no choice but to withdraw from the battlefield.

After several battles, the 38th Division already has the demeanor of a strong army with iron and blood. Although the number of people fighting is getting smaller and smaller, the spirit is completely different.

After the war, the High Command awarded the 38th Division the title of "Flying Eagle".

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

The fall of Jingmen means that Yichang's door has been opened. The command department urgently dispatched Chen Cixiu, Minister of the Military and Political Department, to fly to Yichang to serve as the commander of the right-wing corps and command the siege of Yichang.

Once Yichang falls, it will be troublesome for Luo Yao and others to return to the mountain city. The Yangtze River waterway is blocked by the Japanese army. If they can’t cross the river, they can only detour through Guanzhong, or take a plane. There is a military airport in Laohekou, called Guanghua Airport. It can take off and land the C-2 transport aircraft, but due to the bombing of the Japanese army, it is actively repairing it. It is hard to say when it will be used.

At this point in the war, intelligence can play a very limited role, and it depends entirely on strength.

Because the battle has already been laid out.

The so-called negotiations by the Japanese army before, exchanging 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 was wrong. He was too blindly confident in himself, or he was dazzled by the previous victory, and wanted to eat the Japanese army in the Zaoyang area. main force.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army did not give him this opportunity at all, seized the opportunity, and suddenly changed the direction of attack.

There has been a similar action before, but some people just remember to eat but not to hit, and finally made a misjudgment, resulting in the current passive situation.

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

The old man lost his temper at the military meeting in the mountain city. He scolded him as much as he used to praise him before. That's why Chen Cixiu became the commander of the right-wing corps urgently.

But the situation of the battle will not be changed just because of Chen Cixiu. Chen Cixiu is not a monkey grandson. He can make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and attack the Nantian Gate. In the end, even the Jade Emperor is helpless and can only ask Xitian Tathagata for help.

……

Mountain City Twilight Building.

Although Ye Chuan's villa on Nanquan Street had been returned to the Ye family, Ye Yun did not live in it.

Still living in the Twilight Building, living with Tan Peiling.

That place was either rich or expensive, and they would not be able to do many things if they lived in the past, and they were all single women with prominent family backgrounds, so suitors were indispensable.

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

The force behind the Twilight Mansion is the military command, living here, it is safe and secure, and it can save a lot of trouble.

The most important thing is that Ye Yun is very interested in the forces behind the Twilight Mansion, Ye Chuan's case is all involved with the people behind the Twilight Mansion.

She never thought of "revenge" for Ye Chuan, her younger brother simply deserved to be blamed and deserved no sympathy.

Not only did the Ye family's reputation in the country suffer, but they also gained a large amount of wealth, as well as the favors they had accumulated with great difficulty.

It is not an easy task to recover human affection.

Although the Ye family developed in Nanyang, its roots are in China. The Ye family's patriarch knows this well. This is the same as a married daughter. Only when the natal family is strong, the daughter will not be bullied in the in-law's family.

Although the Ye family has hundreds of millions of wealth in Marais, in Marais, the local aborigines still account for the vast majority.

The conflict between the Chinese and the aborigines has a long history, and foreigners also secretly instigate the relationship between the Chinese and the aborigines, so the relationship between the two parties is not good.

The Chinese are not in power, and the home country is strong. For them, it is almost like having a strong natal family.

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

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

"Well, didn't I tell you that a medium-sized newspaper has good sales, but the concept of running a newspaper is still too conservative." Tan Peiling said.
