Since the Japanese army captured the concession and the Pacific War broke out, gasoline in the Shanghai Stock Exchange has become a shortage of goods, causing most cars to stop and buses to be unable to operate.

In order to solve this problem, some people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange changed their cars from burning gasoline to burning charcoal to continue to provide power. In the streets of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, luxury cars with black smoke even appeared, which is a typical practice in the southwest region.

But this method is not only available in China, Japan also has cars that burn charcoal, and Germany also has them. Gasoline prices are more expensive than gold, so it is really unaffordable and cannot be bought.

Chen Mingxiang never worried about gasoline. His vehicle needs to be refueled, so he goes directly to the supply of the Marine Corps Command and the Gendarmerie Command. The municipal government agencies can also refuel. He has too many part-time jobs, and there are some places where he can refuel.

However, he was always worried that after the situation worsened, his own gasoline would not be enough, so he wanted to free up a warehouse to store some gasoline, and this kind of resource could only be opened to the Japanese army.

"This requirement is legitimate. Huatong Trading Company is also serving the empire and should enjoy the necessary resources. For this battle, a large amount of oil was transported in China. In this way, I will discuss with the Chief of Staff and apply for part of it for you."

"General Uchida, you have a lot of autonomy, and the division team also needs to help Chen Jun. I give too much gasoline, which can easily cause trouble." Yoshitaro Kawamoto said with a smile.

He can do this kind of thing, but it is far less powerful than the division commanders. These Japanese lieutenant generals are all powerful figures with heavy troops. They are at the garrison and have decided on the matters within the division, so no one can talk too much.

"This is no problem. After the battle is over, Chen Jun can go to the division headquarters to find me. I'll give you some and exchange it with scarce supplies." Uchida Takayuki was very happy.

If he was using military supplies to trade for profit, he would definitely not have such courage, but the reason for giving Huatong Trading Company support and helping the division's logistics work is understandable.

Both sides achieved their goals, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was naturally very good. A group of soldiers naturally had to do with the current strategic attack of the dispatched troops. As they were talking, they naturally mentioned the two divisions that were carrying out combat missions in Shou County, Anhui Province.

What Chen Mingxiang didn't expect was that he had not found an opportunity to visit the 64th Division, and this Japanese army was actually going to be transferred into the combat sequence of the 11th Army.

"In order for the 11th Army to prevent the garrison near Jiangcheng from being empty during the battle, the General Command of the Sender Army ordered the 64th Division stationed in Guangling to be transferred to Jiangcheng by Lieutenant General Tadaoyi, who was stationed in Guangling. He will serve as the commander of Jiangcheng's defense army."

"To this end, after the 64th Division completed this mission, it would first go to Pengcheng in northern Jiangsu, then to Kaifeng, and then to Makino, and then directly to Jiangcheng via the Pinghan Railway." said Yoshitaro Kawamoto.

Since the 11th Army wants to carry out the task of strategic offensive, it naturally needs to draw troops to the combat area. There will naturally be empty space around Jiangcheng. Jiangcheng is a strategic location. The General Command of the Sendering Army attaches great importance to it, and the Japanese base camp also attaches great importance to it.

To this end, starting from February 1, the Fifth Independent Infantry Brigade and the Seventh Independent Infantry Brigade were first transferred, and then the 11th Infantry Brigade and the 12th Infantry Brigade were transferred. At the same time, the first, second, fifth, ninth, tenth and 116th brigade-level field supplementary teams were transferred from the country.

In addition, there are field air defense teams that independently mixed the 17th Brigade and the 3rd Division of the Combat Vehicles, two communication wings and two automobile wings.

"In this battle, the 11th Army drew the main force of eight divisions, including the 27th Division of Jinzhou, and with the transfer of multiple corpses to attack Tanzhou, the scale is much larger than that of the Jiangcheng Battle." Takayuki Uchida said excitedly.

He had seen the combat plan of the 11th Army Command, so he naturally knew some of the secrets. Although he could not explain the details, the general situation was still revealed.

Chen Mingxiang also learned the trick, that is, in addition to the 27th Division, there were seven divisions mobilizing, and he was clear about the deployment of the 11th Army's troops, which means that there was one division that would not participate in the war.

From the 28th year of the Republic of China to the 33rd year of the Republic of China, the entire lurking work was the most comfortable to obtain information this time, which was also the result of years of contact with the Japanese and puppets.

How to say it, it took him five years and millions of dollars to create a huge network of relationships, and now he has finally reached its peak.

"Why are you generating electricity to the Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan offices so much? We are also called the Second Intelligence Department. We ask Jiang Anhua to send people to focus on the movements of the divisions under the 11th Army and quickly report the situation to me. It's all May, and the enemy's mobilization can't be concealed."

"Secondly, he ordered him to send an additional intelligence team to Baling within two days to observe the assembly of Japanese troops in various places around him. If he wanted to attack Tanzhou, the gathering place of Japanese troops would inevitably be around Baling."

"Then they generate electricity to the cigarette factory, and they need to quickly prepare 100,000 packs of cigarettes and start sending them to Hangzhou in June. One box of iron barrels is sent, no, two boxes will be sent. At that time, the transportation team of the Hangzhou branch will be arranged to send them to the 70th Division station in Jinhua."

"The Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Henan Office is the First Intelligence Department. Pay attention to the situation of the 70th Division. The enemy's attack began approximately after June 5th, and the main attack direction was Quzhou. If you generate power to the headquarters, the headquarters will send me the military deployment situation of the Ninth War Zone as you know. I will use it as a reference." Chen Mingxiang said.

He knew the severity and importance. Although he had obtained confidential information, he did not dare to send it to the headquarters before the verification was accurate. His personal honor and disgrace were small, and it was a big problem to hinder the theater command from judging the enemy's offensive intentions.

This major strategic offensive that cannot be made at all. It is not that he is too modest. It is true that he has learned from the First War Zone Command. If the Ninth War Zone Command trusts his intelligence too much and arranges the battle according to his information, he will also have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

When choosing a major general in the Army, there is probably no higher rank in the Military Control Bureau than Chen Mingxiang. If he is held accountable for the unfavorable war, he will be barely qualified to be taken out and taken into blame.

Therefore, it would rather be a little later in this kind of thing to implement all aspects of the situation, and it would not be too late to report it. After all, the first phase of the battle has not ended, and the 27th Division has not entered the battle sequence of the 11th Army.
