Nanjing’s headquarters invasion of China.

Itagaki was listening to the report, "General, Yamashiro urgent telegram! Chu Wenhao will serve as the head of the post and telecommunications section and obtain the right to block long-distance telephone numbers. Commercial radio stations will stop sending messages and only allow letters to communicate..." The report was very detailed, "The Empire agent requested instructions to ask whether to risk sending messages, and the chance of being discovered is too high. If it shrinks, the information transmission will be very slow in the future, which will delay the opportunity to fight."

Itagaki looked calm on his cheeks and pondered for a moment, "I notified all the imperial agents lurking the mountain city and arranged for the team members to lurk in the county around the mountain city. After contacting the emergency intelligence telephone, the power generation headquarters will not need to be reported. If there is no important information, the imperial agents lurking the top leaders should be more cautious. Do not risk the non-important military intelligence. Can Chu Wenhao block the mountain city, can he block the entire Sichuan!"

"Hi!"

"In addition, the Kuomintang held a military meeting in the evening, and some people proposed to give up Tongguan and allow the empire to occupy..." The content of the meeting was passed on without missing a word. If the senior officials of the Kuomintang knew about it, it would be impossible to describe it.

"Yaxi!"

Itagaki stood up happily and crossed the steps back and forth, "Since someone spoke, Tongguan has been the Chinese Pass since ancient times, and there is a momentum of tens of thousands of men who can't open the pass. Hu Zhongnan defended it here, and the empire captured dozens of times but still failed to take it down. Unexpectedly..."

"General, the Kuomintang is good at destroying the Communist Party. Fortunately, he reaped the benefits of the fisherman. The Empire cannot let it do what he wants. Using the Communist Party to restrain the Kuomintang will greatly benefit the Empire. If the Empire takes the initiative to eliminate the Communist Party, all parties will be exhausted and will not be able to conquer the mountain city. The best way is to do the best."

When Itagaki came to the east, the wall was inlaid with maps of provinces and cities, and secretly marked on it. Important counties, towns, and villages were marked, which were more detailed than those used by the National Party.

"The Tongguan Empire must be occupied. As long as it is taken down, it borders Shanxi on the east side, Henan on the southeast, and Hubei on the south side. The forces of the three provinces can coordinate with each other and complement each other's strengths. Yuncheng has the Imperial Air Force, Wuhan has the navy, and the army is connected to the head and tail. Advance northward can occupy Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia's forces to merge and complement each other, thereby sieging Shanxi on three sides. The empire can clear Shanxi in more than a month, and then move to Chahar and Suiyuan's remaining resistance strength."

"The entire northeast of China, North China, and East China fall into the hands of the empire. After occupying Shaanxi, it can conquer Gansu and deter the northwest; it can advance to the southwest mountain city and Sichuan. Henan faces the five imperial powers to take action to destroy the deadlock. Most of the territory of China is occupied, and the coastal cities along the south China are controlled by the empire. At most, more than a dozen armies will be besieged by the mountain city. At that time, the Kuomintang can only run to the northwest to eat soil. The imperial holy war can end early and completely control the fertile land of China."

"this..."

"General, if the Kuomintang gives up Tongguan, wouldn't it be like destroying the Great Wall by itself?"

Itagaki smiled, "If you want Jiang's surname is to arrange for the 300,000 troops to have idle meals, as long as Tongguan is in, the imperial forces will be divided into pieces. On the contrary, as long as the empire takes over Tongguan, all the troops can be connected from beginning to end. Compared to destroying the Communist Party in one battle, it is difficult to make a decision. On the one hand, the Communist Party has become a threat. If it is not curbed, not only will the Kuomintang be in trouble, but the empire will also be very troublesome.

On the other hand, the Kuomintang also reached its most critical moment, either giving up all its land and mobilizing two million troops to defend the mountain city, or having peace talks and turning around to destroy the Communist Party first.

Compared to giving up Tongguan, it may be more risky. The most serious result is that all the territory falls. Of course, it is easy to destroy the Communist Party. Just look at how he makes a decision, if the territory falls, the Communist Party will disappear. Indecisively, it will be difficult for the empire to merge one place in the short term, and it may take two years to achieve such an effect."

"this..."

My subordinates followed Itagaki for several years and had a good relationship and didn't speak so rigorously. He asked jokingly: "General, what should you make a decision if you are in his situation?"

"Kimura, you actually passed the exam." Itagaki joked rarely.

"I dare not be humble, I am itchy and curious."

Itagaki meditated with his hands on his back: "If I were to let Hu Zhongnan retreat to Gansu, mobilize the rest of the army to guard the surroundings of the mountain city, and rely on two million troops to hold on. All the people moved to the rear to develop people's livelihood, relying on half of the armies to carry out 200 million people, they will turn around one day. The Kuomintang has no long-term plan, but just passively fights, fights and retreats, with many concerns and reluctance to leave the world. Wouldn't you know that indecisiveness will only ruin its own bright future? The territory of China is thousands of miles, even if it is given to the Empire, it cannot be governed. No matter how good the land is, no matter how good it is, no matter how many people have no one, what if it gets it? The Empire has only two million people who have come to China, but control more than a dozen provinces. It can be seen that the Kuomintang is not defeated by the Empire, but is defeated by its own people. When it is changed, the people of the Empire have long retreated to a corner and will not produce a grain of food for the enemy."

"There is no backbone. It seems to be a great country, but there are actually few people who are sober. They only care about immediate interests and do not know the long-term plan." Itagaki sat upright and took a cigar to ignite it. "War is cruel, and there is no love for children. Moving away the people and leaving empty cities, what is the point of the empire even if it is occupied? It is better to die under the Imperial Cavalry and be a follower of the empire than to leave the country, and I don't know what I think."

Itagaki waved his hand: "I'm not him. If I don't care so much, I will destroy the Communist Party first and then talk about other things. There is an allusion to burn the boats in China. Only when one is united can one be unstoppable. Therefore, Jiang, who is surnamed Jiang, is indecisive and is not suitable for being a commander in his bones. I guess this is difficult to accomplish. Not only will the Communist Party launch an unprecedented public opinion attack, but there will also be many people within the National Party who hold opposition. It is still the same as before, and they are reluctant to leave the territory they occupy, and they are kings. They don't want to move, but they only guard their own territory and fight attrition with the empire. They can't hide and maintain their supreme royal power."

"Hu Zhongnan, known as the number one disciple of the emperor, hasn't fought a war for many years? The Northwest King, the glory may disappear after leaving. How can he stay in Chang'an, what do you want to do when his wife and concubines want to do?"

"this..."

"Imperial agents lurked in the national army, and there are rumors that he deliberately guarded Tongguan with the purpose of protecting the Communist Party..."

"Hahaha..."

Itagaki laughed, "Kimura, it's better not to believe this nonsense. It's not safe to say whether Hu Zhongnan is a Communist Party. The probability is very low. However, it is not ruled out that there are Communists in the army, especially those around him, it is possible to deliberately guide them. After all, it's too close to the Communist Party's territory. I believe it more."

"The general's meaning, the Tongguan National Party will not give up?"

"yes."

Itagaki sighed, "The surname Jiang is not brave enough, and will compromise sooner or later. Immediately generate electricity, and ask him to increase his bargaining chips during the peace talks, and ask him to test it with the Han Province. As long as the Kuomintang gives up Shaanxi, the empire will return Hainan, which can be considered as adding some bargaining chips to him. In addition, be prepared to return without success, let the agents lurk in the national army create rumors, seriously injure Hu Zhongnan, and force him to submit. The agents lurk in the Hu army pulled out a few Communists inside, so that they doubt each other and lost trust..." Itagaki gave a lot of secret tricks, intending to cause trouble, "In addition, try to lead the matter to Chu Wenhao, and let those who lead the troops beat him to death!"

"Hi!"

......

Mountain City.

"That's how it is. Comrade Ruoxi said that Chu Wenhao's words flashed, and he wanted to make the organization lose its foundation, but he didn't know what it meant." Jiang Yang quickly reported the matter. Dou Jingtong, who was sitting opposite him, sighed: "No need to guess. The leader just instructed that the Kuomintang planned to use a vicious plan to assassinate our party and the people and give Tongguan to the Japanese invaders. Now that it is in an emergency, the rear has made arrangements to fight a defense battle. We must never let the Kuomintang give Tongguan to the Japanese invaders. This is not only related to the safety of the organization, but also involves the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people."

"this..."

Jiang Yang was panicked, how could such a thing happen?

"Director Dou..."

Dou Jingtong raised his hand to stop him, and said with a serious expression: "Time is tight, and many things must be dealt with overnight. Since Chu Wenhao will ban the office tomorrow, the first thing to do is to keep the office from being damaged at all. This is a banner of our party and cannot tolerate the slightest desecration! I will report it to the leader immediately. Your task is very heavy. Mobilize all forces overnight and organize demonstrations. The more people, the better. First, encircle Fangcunshan and do not allow Chu Wenhao to leave. In order to ensure that everything is safe, we must prepare for sacrifice. More than 300 comrades in the mountain city must stand in front, use their bodies and blood! Awaken the people! Defend the flag of our party!"

Jiang Yang nodded with a serious expression, "Don't worry, Director Dou, even if he dies, he will not let the National Party succeed! I will organize progressive youth, workers, and students overnight. There would have been three thousand protests tomorrow. I don't care about so many in the crisis. It should be no big problem to gather 5,000 people."

"Well, in addition, you must preserve a certain degree of strength. Chu Wenhao serves as the head of the post and telecommunications section and blocks the long-distance telephone and radio station. Even if you keep the office, you will not be able to contact the rear in the future. All mailing phone calls will be monitored. Whether the radio can be retained needs to be fought for. You arrange for Comrade Ruoxi to lead a few technical team members to establish a communication station in the county town below, just in case, if you have any problems in the future, you can only issue orders through the county town below, in case of emergency."

"Oh, there are letter exchanges, so you must pay attention to it in the future. The previous inspection was rigorous enough. I didn't expect Chu Wenhao to be even more powerful." Dou Jingtong's head hurt, and things happened one after another, and she was really caught off guard.

Jiang Yang didn't know what to say, "He intended to take revenge, after all, he almost died. If it weren't for the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal..."

"Oh, forgot, forgot. This matter is hard to explain. Comrade Zhao Lei's violation of discipline and private outings did pose a fatal threat to him. In principle, the organization should not blame him, but confronting the office head-on is not a private problem. Sometimes you have to make a choice, and the armed forces must also prepare. If it really doesn't work, you can only deal with it. Take care of his family afterwards."

"this..."

"It's not good. Chu Wenhao is in charge of the 600 troops and is in the mountain city. If he really wants to assassinate, the Kuomintang will not easily expose it."

"Oh, prepare first, you and I can die! But the office cannot be desecrated! That was exchanged for tens of thousands of soldiers of our party with their blood. No one should think of defaming him!"

"yes!"
Chapter completed!
