The 14th Division Command.

"Order the front line to strengthen the attack on the enemy in front of each other, and send a small vanguard team to reconnaissance. Be sure to find out where the Four Lines Regiment is. Zhenzangjun, you also know that the division headquarters has promised the Commander that in this battle, in addition to conquering the two big cities of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, it will completely wipe out the Four Lines Regiment. The Commander can say that although this Chinese army is currently small, looking at its past achievements and their status in the minds of the Chinese, it will sooner or later become a conscientious of the empire. We must kill it as soon as possible.

This time the division gave up its siege on the First Chinese Army and specially pulled out your 2nd Infantry Regiment to hunt down the Four Army Regiment. This is not only my trust in you, but also the expectations of the Commander. You have no reason to fail.

Do you understand?"

A Japanese soldier with the rank of lieutenant general on his epaulette had no expression on his face. He said coldly at a army colonel standing respectfully in front of him.

"Hi! I will continue to strengthen the search for the whereabouts of the Four Corps!" The Army Colonel bowed heavily.

The sweat on the forehead quietly slid down.

Although the boss in front of him did not have much harsh words, the army colonel knew the temperament of his division commander very well.

Yuuan-ji Dotaya looked at the kind-hearted and looked like a good man, but only those who knew this guy who came from a military family and had been engaged in spy work for 30 years knew how vicious he was.

The brighter he smiled, the more people he killed.

Since the battle of the 14th Division, due to the resistance of the Chinese, the lieutenant general commander in front of him has issued as many as 13 massacre orders.

Because three soldiers who entered Chinese villages to collect food committed misconduct against Chinese women, the local villagers were furious and surrounded and attacked and killed the three. The person gave an order to slaughter the village!

A large village with thousands of people burned into white ground overnight, leaving no one left, from an octogenarian to a baby under the full month.

The indifference and contempt for life even the colleagues who killed people without blinking their eyes were numb.

"The Four-Road Regiment disappeared from our army's reconnaissance field, but chose to lie down at night and then change the marching route." Toohi Yuanxian Er looked at his respectful subordinates, turned his eyes to the map, squinted his blistered eyes and analyzed calmly. "The Chinese have played a trick, and it seems that they want to choose the road to Jin Province recently, but it is actually just a cover. They must have changed their route near the Xinxiang Front.

The north of Xinxiang is our military area. Unless the Chinese people are brainless, they dare to rush over fearlessly. There are only two directions.

First, go straight away from Xinxiang and head south, then go around from Jiaozuo to Jincheng, and then enter the mountainous area; second, turn around and turn back to Zhengzhou, and then choose the route according to the direction of our army's attack; Zhenzangjun, which choice do you think he will make?"

The Japanese Army Colonel pondered for a moment and replied with difficulty: "Secretary Commander, I think the first possibility is the greatest. Even the subordinates would think that the infantry regiment would do the opposite and continue to move along the nearest road as everyone imagined, without performing tactical deception, perhaps the most successful tactical deception."

"Zhengzang, if you think so, of course there is your reason. If you change to an ordinary Chinese commander, both the first choice and the possibility you mentioned exist." Doi Yuen-hyun-er seemed to have guessed the answer from his subordinate, and a faint smile appeared on his face. "But you still don't know enough about the opponent you are about to face, and this is what you need to strengthen."

"Hi! Please give me guidance from the division commander!" The Army Colonel bowed his head respectfully.

"Six days ago, after receiving the killing order issued by the commander to the Sixing regiment, I studied all the information of the young leader of the Sixing regiment. Shizuka, I don't know if you believe in my judgment for thirty years in the Imperial Intelligence Department, but I have deep confidence in my abilities." The expression on Doi Hoshi-Kenji's face was unprecedentedly solemn. "Your General Taruchi Nakachi's evaluation of that young Chinese soldier is that sooner or later it is a confidant of the Empire, but I think that if you give him time, it is not just a confidant of the heart. He may even become a great enemy of the Empire. I don't know how many imperial warriors will die under his hands."

The Japanese Army Colonel could only respond to the evaluation of the Chinese soldier named Tang Dao with a dumbfounded moment.

Because, just as Doi Hoshi Yuan Kenji is confident in his own judgment, Ishiguro Sadatsu is also confident in his immediate superior.

In 1913, he came to Yanjing as a member of the staff headquarters and an army captain. He served as an assistant to the Japanese spy leader Sakanishi in the "Sakanishi Mansion" (i.e., the secret service agency). He began his career as a spy agent in China for more than 30 years and participated in almost all conspiracies to split China.

In 1924, during the Second Zhi-Feng War, Feng Yuxiang launched a coup in Yanjing, and Wu Peifu fled to Jiangxia in a panic. Doihara immediately manipulated the plan behind the scenes, using the method of stopping bank exchanges, which caused Wu Peifu's banknotes to be turned into waste paper, accelerating the collapse of the Zhili warlords.

In June 1928, he personally participated in the planning of the "Huanggutun Incident". The Northeast King was killed. The iron-clad Northeast lost their strongest ruler, and the Kwantung Army had an opportunity to take advantage of.

In 1930, Doihara accepted the order of the Kwantung Army to establish a secret service agency in North China to dismantle the Northeast Army.

......

If anyone in this world knows Chinese people better, there are still many people in Japan who can compare with Doi and Yuanxian.

However, his evaluation of Tang Dao was too high.

If Tang Dao was a commander of the front army who commanded more than 100,000, it might be normal, but at this time he was just a small infantry commander who was commanding more than 2,000 people, so what could he do?

"You can be surprised, but you must believe it." Doihei Yuanjin's eyes were cold. "He was able to escape from the empire's heavy army siege in the Battle of Sihang Warehouse. It can be said that he was so brave and had terrain to use. But how can the Battle of Songe be explained? Yanagawa Heisuke is also a veteran general of the empire, but a 100,000 army attacked 30,000, which still delayed the Chinese for four days and nights, causing the empire's strategic intention to encircle and annihilate its main force.

That's not all. Thousands of Imperial soldiers were killed in the attack battle, and even Tanishou, a reckless man, died in the battlefield. He was also shot dead by a gunman lurking in front of the command center.

If I was not sure that all this was related to Tang Dao in the early stage, but after judging from his later results, I almost dared to conclude that the failure of the Battle of Songjiang and the death of the reckless man Gua Suzuo were inseparable from Tang Dao.

Whether it was the subsequent night attack of the Sixth Artillery Brigade or the gold pit ambush in the Guangde Mountains where the Guoqi detachment suffered losses, Tang Dao has already applied his strange and changeable tactical characteristics to the extreme. Even if I didn't know him, I would probably have a defeat like Sadao Niujima, Man Oshima, Shin Kwanzaki and others.

This son is so cunning that he is far beyond the age of 20 shown in the information. Perhaps, this is the legendary military talent!

Tactical deception is common for this child, and it is no longer enough to describe his tactics' change. If he only considers one change, he will probably be deceived.

So, I have reason to believe that he had already predicted our predictions, and even when he marched to Xinxiang, a place that was originally impossible to appear a few days ago, he had made a solution and should be turning around and returning to Zhengzhou.

When our 14th Division completely conquered Xinxiang, Zhengzhou City is right in front of us. When the entire army launches an attack on Kaifeng and Zhengzhou cities, he will take the opportunity to move towards Jincheng. At that time, our army will be unable to divide its troops to pursue it because of the temptation of the two cities, so he can escape."

"It must be that the division commander is wise and able to understand this person's tricks. Otherwise, the subordinates will send search soldiers to the south and can only do useless work." The Army Colonel was shocked and slapped his horse at his immediate superior.

"Tang Dao is so tricky that he has been above many generals I have seen. Looking at his opponents, many opponents are defeated by his changing tactics. However, his varied tactics are also a double-edged sword. Especially after repeated victories, surprise attacks have become a personal habit that penetrates his bones. This habit may become a fatal flaw at any time when it is understood by his enemies.

Jun Zhenzang, there is an old saying among Chinese people that is very good, 'The soldiers are indefinitely in power, and the water is indefinitely in shape.' If you want to become an excellent commander, don't let your combat characteristics become a normal state, so as not to be grasped by your opponent! Remember!" It was very comfortable to be flattered by your subordinates, and Kenji Doihara showed a little pride on his face, and continued.

"Hi! Your Excellency, the division commander, I have received teaching!" The Japanese Army Colonel emphasized the key point.

"However, the reason why I say that Tang Dao will become a great enemy of the empire sooner or later is not his cunning and brilliant record." Doi Yuen-hyun-two's eyes turned solemn. "After my analysis of his intelligence, I suddenly found that this son's rise was like a meteor, with almost no warning. He was promoted from an army sergeant to a second lieutenant in just one battle, and then promoted to a lieutenant. Finally, due to the need for Chinese propaganda, it took ten or even more years to transcend ordinary people. Apart from luck, I can't find any other reason to explain."

"If it were just luck, this person would be..." A trace of contempt flashed in the Colonel's eyes.

The Japanese value reality the most, and they never pay much attention to things like illusory luck.

"You are wrong. Although the fortune that Chinese people often say sounds mysterious, it actually exists. Throughout the thousands of years of history of China, almost all successful people have fortunes.

In the past, Emperor Gaozu of Han, if he had no fortune, how could a common man become an emperor with a territory of tens of millions of square kilometers? If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not had enough luck, how could a small beggar become a man who destroyed the Mongol Empire? There are countless examples of this.

If you still don't believe it, then Tang Dao was promoted to Army Colonel, he was originally just a false title, with only more than a hundred military soldiers under his command. However, when he arrived in Songjiang, he quickly gained the trust of the then Supreme Commander of Songjiang. The one hundred soldiers under him instantly expanded into a thousand people, from the original no foundation, gaining the support of the military's general, and finally forming an elite infantry regiment.

The information also shows that he maintained good relations with several Chinese generals, and these people will inevitably become his support in the future. Is this all a kind of fortune?

If he is given enough time to gradually join forces, he will be centered on him and unite a force that cannot be ignored even the empire. With his original ability, do you think he will become a great enemy of the empire?" Jinji Doihashi shook his head and explained.

"The great enemy of such an empire must be eliminated first and quickly! Never let him escape." The Army Colonel took a breath.

"Haha! You don't have to be as if you are facing a great enemy!" Seeing that your subordinates were finally touched by their own reasons, Doi Yuanxian's mouth curled up slightly and chuckled. "The battle between the Empire and China is like a rabbit and a wolf on the grassland. The rabbit can escape the fate of being captured and killed by chance by relying on the cunning rabbit's three holes, but in the end, it will still be found and eaten by the wolf. This kind of war between countries depends on strength in the end!

Tang Dao is just one of those cunning rabbits. Now what we have to do is find him and then kill him, that's it."

"Hi!" The Japanese Army Colonel stood at the right moment and nodded.

After sorting out the military uniform, the Colonel of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of the 14th Division turned around and left with confidence.

Kenji Doihara looked at his subordinates with satisfaction and left with conscientiousness. He left the intelligence department more than a year ago and transferred to the commander of the front-line army troops. Half a year ago, he led the 14th Division into North China. Many generals and even his subordinates also questioned his command capabilities, but as the war developed, he used his military achievements to fight back against everyone's doubts.

The reason why the Colonel Corps of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, who had just left, was chosen by him to deal with the Four Corps was not because of how powerful Ishiguro Sadazo was, but because he was the first corps commander-level officer to surrender to him. After his careful guidance, if he could make great contributions, he could raise him to the rank of a major general brigade commander, and transfer the Major General Brigade Commander of the 27th Infantry Brigade who occasionally sang against him. The 14th Division would have only one voice.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The voice of Kenji Doihara, even if he has only been the commander of the master for only half a year.

Kenji Doihara has ambitions far more than a mere lieutenant general commander. His wish is to take the position of general of the army. If there is a chance, it is not impossible for the Imperial Marshal. Therefore, he spared no effort to embezzle China for decades. Otherwise, with his family background, it would be difficult to reach a high position in peacetime.

In the past, Kenji Doihara had almost fulfilled his ultimate dream. After the Battle of Henan Province, he was transferred back to his country for his outstanding military achievements, returned to the intelligence agency, and established the largest intelligence agency against China in Songhu. In another two years, he was promoted to general of the army.

However, his ambitions ended here. As Japan launched the Pacific War, the originally hopeful war situation began to deteriorate. Kenji Doihara's dream of imperial marshal was completely shattered and he became a Class A war criminal after the war.

That's to go to the gallows.

And in this time and space, the variable Tang Dao suddenly became more common, and the original fate of Kenji Doihara, who had socialized with this variable, would inevitably change.

As for how to change, it must be as he taught his subordinates that luck is an indispensable thing in a person's life.

When he met the Tang Dao who was thrown into this time and space by God, he was destined to be the one who was not very lucky.

After more than 30 years of intelligence work, he had already gained enough knowledge of Tang Dao, and he almost guessed the direction of the marching of the Four Lines Regiment.

That's right, after the Four Army Regiment delivered the materials that promised General Song to be in place overnight, he used the night cover. The entire regiment did not advance but retreated, and did not fire a torch at night. The entire army only used a few flashlights to lead the way. Even if it was only 20 miles a night, it would resolutely retreat towards Zhengzhou.

This is also the reason why the Japanese army's sky reconnaissance planes, motorcycles, cavalry, and reconnaissance vanguards were everywhere, and the four-row regiment could not be found.

However, Kenji Doihara guessed correctly but understood the process incorrectly. Tang Dao did not retract back to the surrounding area of ​​Zhengzhou as he imagined, waiting for the two big cities to become baits to attract the main force of the Japanese army, and then leave.

Based on Tang Dao's understanding of the Japanese army, he knew that after he captured two big cities, he would suffer heavy casualties and would vent his anger against ordinary people. He would have to fight the Japanese army no matter what.

But Tang Dao knew very well that after the Japanese army conquered Xinxiang, it ended here. It was not that they did not want to attack, but that Commander Cheng burned his boats and blew up the only iron bridge on the Yellow River, 30 kilometers away from Zhengzhou City, the Yellow River Bridge.

Facing the surging Yellow River, the Japanese tanks and cannons could only sigh at the river. The Yellow River is not the Yangtze River. Their inland ships could gallop on the Yellow River to help them shell the defenders on the shore. Thinking about crossing the Yellow River, the Japanese army was fighting for their lives. Before they could find a good way to break through the natural barrier of the Yellow River, the Xuzhou War was over.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops jumped out of the encirclement and retreated toward central China with great strides. The man who had no scruples personally ordered the explosion of the garden entrance. The crazy Yellow River water flooded everywhere, drowned countless people, and also caused the 14th Division, which was still on the bank of the Yellow River to suffer a blow.

It is said that Kenji Doihara was almost drowned, which shows the surging water of the Yellow River.

Tang Dao doesn’t need to worry about the safety of Zhengzhou’s city at this time, and the safety of the surrounding people can be temporarily guaranteed. The reason why Tang Dao retreated to Zhengzhou was purely because he suddenly remembered something.

Because of the explosion of the Yellow River Bridge, Chinese soldiers here fought a battle with the Japanese army that also knew the importance of the Yellow River Bridge and attacked it. Not to mention the death and injury, many Xinxiang people who had no time to retreat were stranded on the bank of the Yellow River and were slaughtered by the Japanese army.

This time, the Tang Dao must not let the tragedy happen. Not only should we save the people, but we should also beat the Japanese vanguard to death here, and then leave with our heads raised and our chests raised.

This is the first battle for the Four-Road Group to arrive in northern China.

Just take the 14th Division to attack.

Kenji Doihara thought he knew Tang Dao enough, but unfortunately, that was just him.

Tang Dao’s personal habit is not a strange battle, but that no matter how the battle is, the dead Japanese are the good Japanese.

The poor Colonel Ishiguro Sadazo was led by his superior who had been deeply involved in intelligence agencies for decades.

Of course, more importantly, his luck is really not good!
