Chapter 567 Watching Him Die
"Longshan?" Hu Yunqing frowned as he looked at the handwriting on the note.
"Is there a place called Longshan in the entire Shanghai?"
Pan Hannian was also a little confused. He had been in Shanghai longer than Hu Yunqing, but he had no impression of the place called Longshan.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I'll go back and arrange for someone to find out where this Longshan is."
Hu Yunqing put down his teacup, picked up his hat and said, "I'll contact you when I have news. Take care."
1940 4 Month 10 Day.
The Japanese General Staff issued the latest plan, "Operation Plan against Japan and China", also known as "Operation Plan No. 8".
Due to the strong performance of German tanks on the European battlefield, Japan believed that it could take the opportunity to launch a concentrated attack on China.
Find the main force of the National Army and attack it, and hold on to various cities to force the National Government to sign a surrender.
As a result, the 11th Army, the strongest offensive force in South China, was led by the new commander, Lieutenant General Kazuichiro Sonobe.
Launch an attack on Yichang City, Hubei Province, where the Fifth War Zone is located.
In order to ensure the smooth capture of Yichang and then advance to the city of Changsha, the 3th Army pulled the 13rd, 19th, and th Divisions stationed in Jiangbei to the front line.
The 40th Division in the Jiangnan area, the independent mixed brigade stationed in Hangzhou, as well as the Yoshida Detachment and the Nara Detachment were further dispatched.
In addition, the 23rd Division led by Yamakyo Masataka, the 29th Division and the 10th Tank Brigade were responsible for reinforcement.
Troops from all over the country flocked to Hubei, and the joint transportation department, which was the main force in transporting logistical supplies, was on the verge of collapse at this time.
According to combat requirements, the joint transportation department must deliver 4 tons to the front line before April 24 for use by combat troops.
However, in addition to being responsible for sending out materials, the joint transportation department is also responsible for a large portion of materials that are transported from the north to Shanghai and are about to be transported back to the mainland.
If we want to transport all the goods to the front line, we will have to stop several special transport trains.
General Nishio of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command was very angry about this.
If Chen Yang was in charge, he would be able to add one or two more trips at any time. However, not only could Yamamoto Yoshisaburo not add any more trips, but he had to stop two trips of supplies bound for the front line to make way for vehicles from the north.
You are so bold.
In order not to affect transportation, Yoshisaburo Yamamoto could only request a delay in the transportation of materials from the north. Even so, he was under pressure to transport the 1,100 tons of goods within two weeks.
By April 4, seven days after the combat order was issued, the joint transport department had delivered only 17 tons of supplies to the front line.
That means they couldn’t deliver even half of it this week.
As the battle date draws closer, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Command issues an ultimatum.
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto was required to deliver all supplies before the combat date.
If we only rely on the current few transportation routes, we will have to transport one hundred tons of materials every day to complete the transportation task.
With his current transportation capacity, it would take at least ten days, which was far longer than the seven days stipulated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
There is only one solution, which is to increase the number of transport vehicles.
However, these transport vehicles are already being operated in a chaotic manner by Yamamoto Yoshisaburo. If more are added, tragic traffic accidents with car destruction and loss of life may occur at any time.
In addition, the local area needed a lot of resources, and in order to fill the previous hole, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo put all his cards on supplies.
If the supplies cannot be delivered to the mainland on time, the late payment fees and loan interest alone will overwhelm him.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force seemed to have noticed Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's predicament. Major General Sato of the Logistics Department privately approached Chen Yang to ask if he could share some of the transportation pressure.
Chen Yang said that the line he is currently responsible for can start from the Hangzhou-Ningbo Line and go back to Hubei via the Longhai Line.
However, doing so will undoubtedly increase the transportation pressure on the Pinghan Line.
After Major General Sato reported Chen Yang's answer to Commander Nishio, Commander Nishio didn't care about anything else.
Chen Yang was asked to arrange two to three trains and assign part of the transportation task to the Zongzi Section.
When the Chinese Expeditionary Force informed Yoshisaburo Yamamoto of the latest resolution, he was stunned.
Adding two to three trains on the original basis has seriously affected the original train operations of the joint transport department.
Especially the vehicles carrying supplies from the north to Shanghai.
However, the Chinese Expeditionary Army did not seem to want to listen to Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's explanation. They only asked him to complete the material transportation mission, and he would explain the rest to the Manchurian Railway himself.
Yoshisaburo Yamamoto was also helpless and could only send a telegram asking the trains from the north to give way.
But can all this be solved simply by giving way?
Shanghai Stock Exchange, material transportation center.
After Chen Yang approved the new train dispatch table, he asked He Yuehua to send the form to the General Affairs Department and let Dongye Daimu arrange it.
He Yuehua took the schedule with both hands and hurriedly left the office.
Chen Yang stood up and stretched.
As part of the vertical character class route was given up, his work became much less.
If the Chinese Expeditionary Force had not suddenly requested to add two or three trains to transport supplies, he would rarely be so diligent.
Sato Fumitasu and others focused their attention on Yamamoto Yoshisaburo.
This is a big piece of fat meat, and it's delivered to your door. If you don't take the opportunity to take a bite, I'm afraid you'll hardly have such an opportunity again in the future.
Besides, with Chen Yang backing them up, they were able to move much more freely.
In order to support Sonobe and Ichiro's attack plan, the logistics department has prepared more than a thousand tons of supplies.
However, Chen Yang has already received news that Sato Fumitai and his men have secretly seized 200 tons.
We are just waiting to see when something happens to Yamamoto Yoshisaburo, so that we can share the spoils...
And all this happened just as Chen Yang had expected. The collapse of Yamamoto's transportation route had entered the countdown.
According to his calculations, an accident will definitely occur on the material transport vehicle by April 22nd at the latest.
At that time, it will depend on how Yoshisaburo Yamamoto explains to the China Expeditionary Force Headquarters.
The tall building has been built and the guests have been invited. Now that the building has collapsed, whether he should jump down or roll down is not something Chen Yang can decide.
Knock knock knock, a series of knocks on the door interrupted Chen Yang's thoughts.
"Come in." Chen Yang said as he sat back behind his desk.
The office door was pushed open and Li Qun walked in with an anxious look on his face.
"Commander Chen, something terrible has happened. Guo Shiwei and the Blue Wolf Squad sent to Shancheng have been captured by the Military Control Commission."
"What?" Chen Yang stood up and said angrily, "Director Li, what's wrong with you?"
"You said everything has been arranged. I even took credit for it to my wife, saying that you can get the latest military deployment map of the Fifth War Zone, which will be delivered to Shanghai in a few days."
"Now tell me that the military deployment map is gone. How do you want me to explain it to my wife?"
