    Chapter 523: Another poisonous plan

    The 18th Division of the Japanese Army in North China, the 23rd Division, the 7th Mixed Brigade, the Yamazaki Chariot Regiment, and the Shadow Cavalry Regiment were sent out of Shijiazhuang and headed south to Cizhou at the junction of Henan and Hebei to prepare for a raid on Anyang.  After the order, the 7th Mixed Brigade, as a vanguard force, arrived at Cizhou in southern Hebei one day in advance.

    Anyang and Cizhou are separated by a deep and rough Zhang River. If you want to capture Anyang, the Zhang River is a natural obstacle. How to overcome it, the Seventh Brigade has no good way from top to bottom. The situation in Anyang on the other side is not very good.  Okay, I only know that there are two divisions of the Central Army defending it. This is enough for the 7th Brigade to drink a pot. If the Chinese ** team comes to attack halfway, most of the entire brigade will probably fall into the water and feed the bastards.  , Furthermore, where did so many ferries come from?

    The Japanese brigade commander Katayama Kono was at a loss, and the commander pressed hard again. He ordered that an attack must be launched at three o'clock tomorrow morning. Because of the Zhang River, the entire brigade was blocked here. Katayama was staring at the map in a daze, and the staff officer  When I came to report, Masao Koyama, the captain of the 9th Squadron of the Vanguard Battalion, asked to see him, saying that he had something important to discuss. Katayama became angry when he heard about it. The war was about to happen. What important things could a small squadron leader have?  not see

    The staff officer agreed and was about to go out. Katayama thought and suddenly changed his mind. This guy was separated by several levels and came directly to his head. Maybe there was something important. It didn't hurt to listen. He was trying to make things more mysterious and wanted him to do it.  It looks good, but the Japanese army has a strict hierarchy, and the most taboo thing is reporting beyond the rank.

    Katayama held the command knife in both hands and sat upright, pretending to be the captain of the brigade. He wanted to see what kind of thing this little squadron leader was?  After a moment, Koyama Masao followed a staff officer and walked in. Katayama took a look and realized that this guy was very good-looking. He was tall and rare among Japanese. He had the usual coldness and arrogance of Japanese military officers on his face, and his military appearance was neat.  Katayama took a liking to him as soon as they met.

    Masao Koyama is a Japanese born in the Northeast. His parents came to the Northeast early in life and served for the Empire of Japan. Therefore, Masao Koyama speaks fluent Chinese. This guy has been instilled with militaristic ideas by his father since he was a child, and  The spirit of Bushido, the concept of being loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and opening up new territories for the Japanese Empire were deeply rooted in his heart. Instead of being grateful for the land that carried his childhood and adolescence, he was indignant and indignant.  I believe that the Chinese people do not deserve to own such good land.

    When I was in middle school, I returned to Japan. As soon as I graduated, I actively responded to the emperor's call and joined the Japanese army. After several years of burning, killing, looting, and fighting against the Anti-Japanese Alliance, I was able to achieve the goal of becoming a member of the Chinese Army because of my ruthlessness and repeated military exploits.  In the position of captain, this is a guy who is extremely fanatical and unwilling to be lonely.

    The seventh brigade was stranded on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, and he began to think about it. The brigade he was in was the vanguard of the entire brigade. He knew nothing about the situation in Anyang on the other side, so he came up with a bold idea.  When he came out, he changed into plain clothes and mixed in with a group of fleeing people. He successfully crossed the Zhanghe River and sneaked into Anyang City, wandering around inside and outside.

    He was pleasantly surprised to find that the Central Army's defenses in Anyang were lax. Soldiers could be seen wandering around the streets. There were no decent fortifications or artillery positions. He never expected that more than 90,000 Japanese troops were already deployed in Cizhou on the other side.  , and there are a large number of ferries concentrated not far from the ferry, with only one company of troops defending them.

    Xiaoshan only spent two yuan to buy a small boat from the company commander. When he returned to Cizhou, he didn't even have time to change his clothes as soon as he landed. He immediately went to see the captain and reported the situation in detail.  I suggested to the captain to report it to the unit immediately, hoping to get full praise and rewards from his superiors.

    Who would have thought that the captain not only didn't have a kind word, but instead cursed him head-on and slapped him a few times. He also said that he acted without permission and exposed the imperial army's goal. If it affected the entire plan, he would be shot.  And threatened to send him to the Gendarmerie. His boss had long been dissatisfied with this guy who jumped up and down and was loyal to the Emperor every day. It seemed that he himself was a loyal subject of His Majesty the Emperor, and others were not as loyal as him?  It seems awkward to think that he is not a native-born Japanese.

    Xiaoshan was frustrated, holding his breath and angry. He knew very well that he had seized an excellent opportunity to open a road to Zhengzhou for the entire army. He gritted his teeth and risked violating taboos, and directly found the brigade.  Brigade Commander Katayama Kono, he is risking his life. If the brigade commander is no longer interested, his days in the army will be over.

    When Katayama heard what Koyama Masao said, his eyes immediately lit up. He didn't even bother to put on airs, and moved his head closer to Koyama, for fear of missing a word. Koyama was confident in his heart and knew that the information he provided greatly aroused the brigade commander's attention.  Your Excellency's interest, as expected, Katayama even said "Go to the west, go to the west" and patted his shoulder affectionately, praising him as a true leader of the Japanese Empire.A gentleman, a different boss, a world of ice and fire, Xiao Shan felt tears streaming down his face.

    Striking while the iron was hot, Xiaoshan came up with his own plan and formed a special operations team, disguised as Central Army troops, crossed the Zhang River, sneaked into Anyang City, and seized the ships on the other side. Some of them would take over the main force to cross the river, and most of them would stay in Anyang.  , and cooperate with the imperial army across the river internally and externally. In this way, wouldn't Anyang be easily obtained?  When Katayama heard this, he rubbed his hands in excitement and spun around on the ground a few times. He was obviously overwhelmed with joy.

    He immediately approved Masao Oyama's plan, promoted him to major on the spot, and was ordered to form a special operations team. He could select members from within the entire brigade and be directly under the command of brigade commander Katayama Kono. In other words,  It is the troops directly under the brigade. Not only Xiaoshan's captain has no control over it, but also the other senior officers of the brigade have no jurisdiction. This time, Xiaoshan immediately became majestic.

    Wearing a brand-new major military uniform, he returned to his brigade. When he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he broke into the brigade captain's office without even shouting a report, and sat down on the chair. His former boss saw that his subordinates were so bold and arrogant.  , didn't react for a moment, but when he realized it, he almost burst his lungs, became furious, rushed over and wanted to give Xiaoshan "Shanbin".

    Koyama arrogantly took out an order signed by Captain Katayama Kono. The captain wilted at that time. Looking at Koyama Masao's triumphant face, he was like a deflated ball. He was stunned for a moment, and his words were very  To be polite, it's not that he doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast. In the blink of an eye, a crow turns into a phoenix. Not only is he on an equal footing with him now, but he is also the person who can talk to the brigade leader. This is what kind of world he is in.

    Although the Japanese captain was aggrieved, his face became more respectful and his words were so polite. In fact, Xiaoshan was not just here to show off. He did not need to select team members from the entire brigade. His original squadron was fully qualified for this task.  Task, he has always believed that if you want to conquer China, you must understand this country and nation.

    As the Chinese say, "Know yourself and the enemy and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." Therefore, he used his long-term experience in living in China to forcefully promote Chinese language throughout the squadron and become familiar with Chinese habits. Not to mention, under Xiaoshan's force, his squadron,  Most of them can speak Chinese.

    Apart from being unable to adjust his size, when he put on the uniform of the Central Army, he looked like a squadron. The brigade commander pressed hard, and Xiaoshan did not dare to delay. He immediately pulled out his squadron and gave a lecture.  Koyama Masao was a high-spirited man. The Japanese soldiers who followed him to learn Chinese did not expect that they would have such an opportunity to make a contribution. What they were reluctant to learn at the beginning was now put to use. The commander was so foresight and praised him.  The praise was a bit arrogant.

    Koyama Masao led a squadron of Japanese soldiers, disguised as the Central Army, crossed the Zhang River at nightfall, and swaggered into Anyang City. The journey was surprisingly smooth. When entering Anyang, the sentries did not even question him.  The sentence was released, and it was so smooth that Xiaoshan himself could not believe it.

    The 130th Division and the 83rd Division of the Eighth Army defending Anyang were Tang Enbo's direct lineage and trusted troops. They were originally stationed here. When the war in North China began, Tang Enbo transferred the two divisions to the south bank of the Yellow River, far away from the Japanese army.  , the war lasted for more than ten days, and there was nothing going on in Anyang. Unable to withstand the pleas of the two close commanders, they were transferred back to Anyang to garrison.

    It¡¯s not that the commanders of the 130th Division and the 83rd Division were determined to resist Japan and insisted on being transferred to the front line to fight the Japanese to show the character of the Chinese people. They had their own wishful thinking and considerations in mind.

    As the war broke out in North China, Anyang became the only thoroughfare to and from Henan and Pingjin. People who fled from Pingjin to the south, merchants who traveled between Zhengzhou in Henan and Pingjin in North China, and unscrupulous businessmen who made money from the country and smuggled in-demand materials were not allowed to leave from Anyang.  Yes, this is an iron gate bolt for entering and exiting Henan.

    What these two division commanders are interested in is this geomantic treasure land. The other passages are blocked, leaving only one road. The ferry at the Zhanghe Wharf was requisitioned by the troops. The soldiers under their command changed their profession to become tax policemen. During the national crisis, they made a strong contribution.  Those who cannot afford to pay, naturally, people entering and leaving Anyang must pay national relief taxes and anti-Japanese donations.

    The army is responsible for arranging ships for the goods coming and going, and the cost is inevitable. As for smuggled goods, the cost is several times higher. As long as you pay, you can transport the cannon to the other side, and no one will care. There is gunfire everywhere in North China.  Anyang is busy making money, and the two division commanders are making a lot of money, and their mouths are full of oil. The officers under their command, big and small, imitate the same, all of them have their claws stretched out, and their black eyes are only staring at the white ocean.

    The two division commanders sent officers and troops who were usually not very proud of them to the outskirts of Anyang, and no longer cared about where they were thrown. The frontline troops needed supplies and materials for building fortifications. How about paying for them?  Are you paying for it?  What I got was this rhetorical question.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? stayThe confidant officers and troops have been thinking about how to make money for them and themselves all day long. They have forgotten about fortifications to resist the Japanese. Such Anyang City is equivalent to being undefended.
