Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 340: The Cage Plan begins, and the base is facing a huge crisis! The fleet arrives at Jiuzho

Zhu Ziming didn't expect that the Japanese had already made preparations in advance, but for some reason, he still felt uneasy in his heart, and said worriedly: "According to the intelligence I have obtained these days, the independent regiment already has fighter jets. Although I don't know their performance, they can also pose a threat to Ping'an County!"

"The most important thing is that their arsenal is already able to independently produce a variety of weapons, including artillery, tanks, armored vehicles and even trucks. If they continue to develop, they will no longer be a minor problem, but a major problem!"

"The last siege on the Independent Regiment was very successful. If the backup troops could arrive, the base of the Independent Regiment would have been breached long ago. In the end, it fell short just by a little. The Independent Regiment is now much stronger than before, and with the help of the New First and Second Regiments, they have established many strongholds and consensus. Now it's like a hedgehog covered with thorns and nowhere to start. If you want to eliminate them by force, you will suffer huge losses. The only way that can work is to cause civil unrest!"

"There are 60 disaster victims who have entered the Independent Regiment. There must be many of your insiders hidden among them. There may even be elite soldiers hiding among them who can create chaos at a critical moment and deal a fatal blow to the Independent Regiment. Is what I said correct?"

General Yingzuo clapped his hands vigorously and said with admiration: "Zhu Ziming, you have brought me more and more surprises. I originally didn't intend to spare your life, but now I have changed my mind and decided to appoint you as the intelligence officer of Ping'an County, responsible for collecting intelligence on Li Yunlong's troops. You will be directly responsible to me. When I came back this time, I transferred hundreds of confidants from the Mei Agency, and they will help you!"

"Huizi, you will be Zhu Ziming's attendant from now on. You must respect him as you respect me and meet all his requests! This time I brought two radios with me. Together with the two we already have, four radios will be enough for you to use!"

"I am going to attend a banquet now to help you resolve the obstacles in Ping'an County. You don't have to worry about being threatened by others in the future. As long as you do what I ask you to do and make great contributions to the empire, there will be a lot of money. You can get whatever you want!"

Zhu Ziming quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you for your training, General. I will definitely keep a close eye on the Independent Regiment. I have obtained a lot of technical information from the Independent Regiment Arsenal before, all of which were shot with miniature cameras. I hid the film in these places. General, you can send someone to get it out and hand it over to the Empire's technical department. This will greatly enhance the Empire's military strength!"

"I request the General to send more people to protect my life. I have a hidden person who has already infiltrated the blueprint room of the arsenal, and will continue to provide us with intelligence!"

General Yingzo patted Zhu Ziming's shoulder gently. He did not foolishly ask about the true identity of the hidden man. In fact, he had a trace of doubt in his heart. He thought that this person might not exist at all. Zhu Ziming made up this false character to ensure his own safety. But he did not dare to gamble. If it was true, it would be a pity to miss it.

General Yingzuo didn't care about Zhu Ziming's life or death. He needed a steady stream of intelligence to gain greater merit. He had been reprimanded by the headquarters and had a very bad relationship with the prime minister. In order not to be transferred to the mainland and transferred to the reserve, he could only make great contributions to silence those who opposed him.

"Zhu Ziming, your reminder just now is very correct. The independent regiment has fighter jets, and it also has the ability to attack Ping'an County. For your safety, you can't stay here any longer. I will have people dig out two air-raid shelters immediately, and you will stay in them temporarily. After we deal with the independent regiment, I will find a way to transfer you to Jinling to fulfill your wish of bringing honor to your family!"

"There are only 20 minutes left until the banquet. I have to leave quickly. Huizi will explain the task to you in detail. I will leave first. You two can chat slowly!"

General Yingzuo deliberately acted approachable in order to win over Zhu Ziming. He did not feel it was losing face. To him, all of this was in the service of the Imperial Holy War and was a compulsory course for an intelligence officer.

Zhu Ziming bowed and saw General Yingzuo off. After General Yingzuo left, he felt a cold sweat on his back, thinking that his little thoughts had been seen through by the other party. Fortunately, the other party did not ask any further questions, so he was temporarily fooled.

General Yingzo came to the command center of Ping'an County and attended the dinner hosted by Mitsui Taro. Despite his best efforts, he was still ten minutes late. After apologizing to everyone, he picked up the sake in the glass and drank a full glass to make amends to everyone. Mitsui Taro and several others quickly stood up and said they dared not. After a few words of greeting, everyone sat down.

"General, what do you want to do when you come to Ping'an County this time? Do you need our help? If so, just let us know!" Mitsui Taro spoke first. This banquet was organized by him, and he couldn't let it be boring.

General Yingzuo put down the wine glass in his hand and replied with a smile: "Mitsui, I met your uncle at this time last year. We had a nice drink together. At that time, he told me that he wanted to send you out for training. I thought he was joking with me, but I didn't expect it to be true. I'm very happy to meet you here."

"I have also heard from your uncle about the blockade action plan you formulated. It is indeed a genius plan. However, it has some shortcomings and needs some simple improvements. As an old senior, I will take advantage of my age and give you some pointers!"

Mitsui Taro immediately bowed and thanked him: "General, I am very much looking forward to your guidance. Please feel free to teach me!"

General Yingzuo picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and then said, "It is not enough to blockade the Independent Regiment with only 30 or 60 Security Regiment soldiers. The loyalty of these people cannot be guaranteed. What we need to do is to build a no-man's land plan, expanding it from the original kilometers to kilometers. We also need to use drones to identify the civilians who have not been evacuated, set time and roads for them, and dig out huge trenches to trap the armored forces of the Independent Regiment!"

"The 12th Army is currently understaffed, and the reinforcements from the mainland are expected to arrive in three months. During this time, we will have to dispatch a garrison battalion to command the security group to build artillery towers and bunkers to implement the Cage Plan."

"Of course, there is a problem. We are seriously short of steel and cement. We cannot build concrete bunkers. We can only build some gun towers. However, gun towers cannot stop large-caliber shells. This creates a paradox. It is impossible to use bunkers and gun towers to blockade the area."

"Especially after winter, even if there are sufficient building materials, it will be very difficult to build, which will cause loopholes in our blockade plan. This is why I proposed to expand the range of drones, set up a blockade line at 30 kilometers, another blockade line at 60 kilometers, and another score line at 90 kilometers. Under these three blockade lines, not even a grain of food or a piece of cloth can be transported into the base of the independent regiment. When the spring of next year comes, the independent regiment will have a food crisis, and that will be the best time for us to attack!"

"Yamamoto, Hirata, your special forces team is still a little small. The number should be at least 500, and it should have the ability to parachute. I hope you can use your brains to see if you can use hang gliders to parachute into the base of the Independent Regiment and directly launch an aerial raid on the Independent Regiment!"

"You can seek support from General Tada. The Mitsui family can also help with this matter. The method you used before, infiltrating from the ground with small forces, no longer meets the needs of war. The news from the Third Reich has confirmed this. You should pay more attention to news in this regard in the future. You can find a way to contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. With their help, your special forces team will be truly valued by the headquarters. You fought well last time and almost destroyed the enemy's headquarters. I hope you will continue to work hard and make immortal contributions to the empire!"

Yamamoto Ikki and Hirata Kojiro quickly stood up and bowed to express their gratitude, and promised to increase the number of special forces and never let General Kagesa down.

General Kagesa did not say much about Colonel Kurofuji and Ichiro Nakamura. He just exchanged a few pleasantries with the two of them. He really looked down on them, but this did not make Colonel Kurofuji angry. Instead, he felt that it was as it should be.

But Ichiro Nakamura didn't think so. He felt that General Kagesa looked down on him, and he resented this man in his heart, and prepared to find an opportunity to take revenge. In order not to arouse General Kagesa's vigilance, Ichiro Nakamura suppressed his dissatisfaction in his heart, and behaved very respectfully on his face. Under the cover of dim lights, General Kagesa did not find anything wrong, and did not become alert, and as a result, he suffered a great loss.

Over Kyushu Island, the bomber group had crossed the coastline and was flying southwards towards Honshu Island. Along the way, Lin Zhenhua was not idle. In his hand, a route map was emerging on the paper, and now it was more than half completed. As long as the bomber group arrived over Honshu Island, the drawing of the route map could be stopped.

"Old Li, hurry up and bring the canned beef and steamed buns. I have to have a good meal today. In just over an hour, we will reach Honshu Island. The journey will be very safe. Our chance of success has increased from 90% to 99%. As long as we are not discovered when we reach the airspace over Honshu Island, the probability of success will reach 100%!"

"Lu Yuanhang, after we reach the airspace over Honshu Island, I will take over the bomber. You can take a break and replenish your food half an hour before the bombing to recover your physical and mental strength!"

The bomber group arrived at the coastline of Honshu Island after flying at full speed for an hour. Lin Zhenhua immediately took over the driving seat and controlled the bomber to continue moving forward. At this time, the bomber had climbed to a flight altitude of 8,000 meters. There was heavy fog in the air, which seriously affected the pilots' vision. They had to increase the distance between the bombers to avoid a collision!
