Kenji Doihara was not dead. For the Japanese army, it was at least a fig leaf, but this fig leaf was taken out to show off.

It depends on the timing. At least the attention of both China and Japan is not very high.

There are many speculations about Kenji Doihara missing or dead in battle, but a defeated general, in addition to the people he cared about, is actually more of a forgotten person.

This kind of forgetting is too fast, and war is dying every minute. Even if Kenji Doihara was famous in the past, what if he is famous after death?

The purpose of Okamura Yanji's arrangement for Kenji Doihara to appear at this confidential military meeting was to use his mouth to draw out strong attention to the northern Henan region and the New First Army of Leng Feng.

He himself also roughly studied the consistent battle examples of Leng Feng and the New First Army, and he was very convinced of Kenji Doihara's judgment.

In the face of the Chinese general J, there were several generals he was concerned about, such as Tang Keqin in the Battle of Nankou, Chen Cixiu from the Civil Engineering Department of the Central Army, Li Delin from the Guangxi Division and others.

These can be regarded as opponents. These people can stand out in this chaotic situation in China. Without their outstanding abilities, it would never be possible.

As for the younger generation of generals, Okamura Yasuji did not pay much attention to, because only a few young generals emerged, with few record results, and could not make accurate judgments.

But for "Leng Feng", whether he heard about the "Devil Force" in Northeast China or came to a conclusion after a long talk in late-night, Kenji Doihara.

This is the most terrifying Chinese general in Japan and Ben's battlefield.

Young, firm will, extreme hatred of Japan.

This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that he has an elite army under his command, and his strength is getting bigger and bigger, and he has become the ace force in China J.

It is necessary to curb its development, otherwise it will become a major concern after becoming older.

At that time, Kenji Dohihara told him that "if you want to seize Wuhan, you should occupy northern Henan first." He thought that Kenji Dohihara was a little extreme.

Can an army still affect the overall strategy of the empire?

Kenji Doihara told him with certainty that other Chinese J troops may not be able to do it, but Leng Feng and his new army can.

Kenji Doihara knew very well that in western Shandong and eastern Henan, his real opponents were Leng Feng and the New First Army and his new 38th Division.

Xue Boling was very powerful, but he commanded a pieced-up unit, which limited his ability to perform. Leng Feng needed to restrain him in the early stage. At the most critical time in the later stage, Leng Feng sent elite armored troops and infantry to strike him.

If the New First Army had not participated in the war, he would not have lost so badly in Guide. He escaped with more than a dozen generals, and almost everyone was injured.

Such a crushing defeat, not to mention that he has never experienced his personal military career, is unique in the history of the Great Japanese Army.

"Commander, for the establishment of the 11th Army, I plan to use the 6th Division, the 101st Division, the 106th Division and the 116th Division as the main force, plus the Hotan Brigade, a total of about 100,000 people as the first attack echelon on the southern front. In addition, the Second Army consists of the 16th Division, the 109th Division, the 14th Division and the Independent Mixed Fifth Brigade, the Independent Mixed Second Brigade, and the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army to form the North Line Attack Group..."

The core of Okamura's plan did not change much from the base camp. The three attack routes, except for the northern line, are the routes and tactical policies along the Yangtze River.

What has changed is that when implementing this plan, we will join the first move of strategic deception.

When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, China has actually been entrusting Germany to mediate. Of course, Japan is still dealing with it because of its ally with Germany.

China wants to get a chance to breathe through a short-term ceasefire, and Japan and China obviously have their own considerations, especially when the forces that support the non-expanding faction still have a certain advantage, there is still a little hope for peace negotiations.

But now, the mainland has been replaced by Seishiro Sakagaki, and his deputy has become Hideki Tojo, a madman who advocates war, and the young and powerful faction who supports war has come to power.

The so-called "peaceful" political basis for resolving the Chinese issue no longer exists in Japan and China.

However, it's OK to install it.

How can I deceive my opponent?

That's not the matter of the Central China Expeditionary Army. The entire Japanese and Chinese decision-making agency must be involved. Otherwise, how can the Chinese believe it?

This "strategic deception" was an idea that Kenji Doihara gave to Okamura Yasuji. When Okamura heard this, he was amazed. Those who could think of this idea must be extremely smart.

Kenji Doihara is such a smart person.

Learning from opponents is Japan's usual style. Kenji Doihara's trick was actually learned from Leng Feng.

Leng Feng and the Honorary Division made a show in Wuhan and deceived the Japanese army. The main force did not withdraw to the rear and rest, and hid on Weishan Lake. It was precisely because of his existence that the Japanese army was defeated in Xuzhou, and he almost died of Guide himself.

This revenge is painful to the bone, and he must avenge it.

"Leng Feng is meticulous, has a very high psychological quality, has a strong purpose in doing things, and has a broader strategic thinking than ordinary people. He is the calmest, most cunning, and most difficult to guess the Chinese J general I have ever seen. Now he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hand, and has become a major concern for the great Japanese empire."

"This Leng Feng is really not an ordinary person to be able to get such a high evaluation from Doihira Jun."

"I have almost never won against him. Can such a person be scary?"

Kenji Doihara is not an incompetent person. An incompetent person would not have made so many contributions to the empire in the past. Are those contributions false?

Anyone who is familiar with him knows that even though Kenji Doihara is a little lacking in military command and is not very particular about it personally, his mind is definitely smart.

"In addition to making noise and hype, everything must be done according to the truth, otherwise it will be difficult to hide it from the other party's eyes." Kenji Doihara said, "Also, he has a good understanding of our army's intelligence, and he can predict some top-secret actions in advance, which is incredible."

"Does there be any internal problems?" Hata Shunruo was startled.

"Maybe it's just my guess, maybe it's not what we imagined." Kenji Doihara frowned. A guess was always lingering in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it, because he had to be responsible when he said it.

"Dohihara, just say it, do you doubt the problem is?" asked Okamura Yasuji.

"I suspect there is something wrong with our secret communication."

"What, secret communication, are you saying that our telegram may have been deciphered by the Chinese?" This inference scared the Japanese generals in the room and sweated coldly on their backs. This was Nanjing in June.

"I'm not sure, and they didn't have any prejudice to our actions every time, but there were a few times when they were at the most critical node and Isotani was captured. I began to wonder whether it was the Chinese who had mastered my secret communication, or was it just a coincidence."

"Although the empire's secret communication technology is not the most advanced, it is definitely not something that the Chinese can crack. Moreover, they do not have such deciphering experts at all. The most advanced secret communication needs to be specially encrypted. The Chinese do not have such technology!" Takeo Imai was the intelligence director of the staff of the Central China Expeditionary Force, and he knew this very well.

"Chinese people can't even buy a password machine. How they crack our secret power is simply a fantasy."

"I'm just guessing, and there's no evidence to support it."

"Mr. Doihara, don't exaggerate your random guesses. The Chinese want to decipher the communication password of the empire. Wait for another hundred years!" A Japanese general said confidently.

"Wouldn't it be even more terrible if the other party can master our actions just by analyzing and judgment? Let me ask, who has such ability in the empire?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence, or a reason we don't know yet, that Chinese people can't decipher the secret code." Okamura Yasuji didn't quite believe in Kenji Doihara's speculation.

Kenji Doihara was unwilling to believe it, but he could not find any evidence to prove it. He also hoped that it was just a coincidence, just an accident.

"There is no need to argue about this issue. Since Doihara Jun raised it, we should not be careless. Apply to the base camp to change the secret code. At least if the new secret code is enabled, it will take time for the Chinese to decipher it." Hata Shunruodao, the plan for this Wuhan battle must be cautious and foolproof, which is related to the fate of the empire and his own future and destiny.

"Hayi!"

"I'll be here today and have a meeting!"

Kenji Doihara returns to his residence with Okamura Yasuji.

"Northern Henan, the current situation is that our intelligence personnel are difficult to penetrate. Their anti-espionage system is very powerful. Our plainclothes will be identified as soon as they enter. Only a few can enter, but they dare not move. Leng Feng's troops have a strong sense of confidentiality, which is difficult for us to do even." Kenji Doihara said, "However, I have left many intelligence personnel in northern Henan. Although I have not made any special explanation, I hope they can judge the situation and lurk. This is the best situation."

"Dohihara, from now on, collect all military and political information about northern Henan. I ask the base camp to approve it. You will stay in the 11th Army for the time being and serve as my special adviser, responsible for intelligence work." Okamura Yasuji said solemnly.

"Thank you, Okamura, willing to serve."

"Your plan is genius. I think the base camp will definitely approve it. Chinese people will definitely not expect it. As for the news of your survival, I think it will take some time to hide it. Don't you mind?" Okamura Yasuji didn't want the news of Kenji Doihara to survive to be known too early.

"I understand, I can take a break during this period." Kenji Doihara said, "By the way, Okamura, how do you arrange it?"

"How about letting him be my guard captain first?"

“Okay.”
