Chapter 457: Speak east and attack west!

But first you have to find this Otto Braun. If you can’t find someone, or if the person is no longer in the Northeast, then it will be troublesome...

If people have arrived in Shanghai, it will be even more troublesome.

While Lu Shan sent a secret telegram to Yan Su, asking him to pay attention to the Germans with the pseudonym Otto Braun. If Otto Braun enters the Northeast to collect Japanese military intelligence, he will definitely not use his Russian pseudonym, preferably with his real name, and the identity of a German or Austrian is conducive to his activities.

This may be one of the reasons why the Soviet General Staff seconded him to Manchuria to collect Japanese military intelligence.

There is also this Otto Braun who has rich experience in fighting behind enemy lines and has done work on secret fronts, so it should not be easy to find such a person.

If he does not have horizontal contact with the Manchurian Provincial Party Committee organization, it will be even more difficult to find it!

Moreover, with the help of the organization to find him, he will be criticized in the future, and will also implicate Lin Zhongdan and others!

Their situation is already quite difficult, and Lu Shan is not willing to make things worse!

There are many ways to enter the Northeast, but the least time-consuming and labor-intensive one is to find a little from the long border line. It is internal and external. This route is undoubtedly the safest and most reliable.

Now the Japanese have not completely controlled all areas in the Northeast. Many border areas in northern Heilongjiang with the Soviet Far Eastern Republic are still in the hands of the Chinese. These places are sparsely populated, with vast forests and desolate Gobi. This is a paradise for wild beasts and a forbidden area for humans.

To know that Otto Braun came from that line, it was too difficult, and of course it was not a goal to find it.

Although I don’t know what this Otto Braun looks like, Yumi Moriyama sent back his physical characteristics. Although he must be able to put on makeup, it will be difficult to identify. As long as you are interested in finding it, there may not be a glimmer of hope!

Otto Braun came with the collection of Japanese military intelligence, so he had a purpose. People like him were the most likely to be paid attention to in small places, so it was difficult to hide their tracks, while densely populated cities were different.

It is densely populated and has many foreigners, so it is not easy to be noticed, which is also conducive to his actions.

Let’s find it first. Lu Shan remembers that Otto Braun came to Shanghai in September in history. It’s only early July, so there should be a chance to cut him off!

The order to search for it has been issued, and the rest is to wait for the result. Lu Shan pulled his thoughts back and began to think about the omissions in the plan to "sneak attack on Dongta Airport" this time.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's time to eat!" Lao Sun, the head of the cooking squad, knocked on the door and came in and said.

"Let me go, I'll eat later!" Lu Shan ordered.

"Okay." Lao Sun nodded.

"Old Sun?"

"Hey, Commander-in-Chief, what are your instructions?"

"There is a big task. From today on, let's add a dish for everyone!" Lu Shan ordered.

"Oh, I understand!" Lao Sun nodded.

"Okay, go and let the soldiers eat their stomachs and go to the battlefield. I will remember the merits for you!" Lu Shan said.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" When Lao Sun heard that he could still remember his merits when cooking, his eyes lit up. Military merits are good things. Who doesn't want to make a meritorious service? But in the kitchen, there are very few opportunities to make meritorious service.

"Mr. Lu!"

"It's Lequan, come in!"

Zhai Lequan walked in and saw the steaming food with Lao Sun and you on the table.

"Mr. Lu hasn't eaten yet?" Zhai Lequan said.

"Let's eat it!" Lu Shan smiled, put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked to the table and sat down, "Lequan, you've also sat down, have you eaten?"

"Mr. Lu, I've eaten it long ago!" Zhai Lequan said hurriedly.

"Commander-in-Chief, I'll go first, come again in a while!" Lao Sun said hurriedly.

Lu Shan nodded, and Lao Sun quickly turned around and walked out.

"Mr. Lu, this is the information I just obtained. Ishihara Kaner served as the chief of staff of the 39th Brigade stationed in Fengtian!" Zhai Lequan took out a telegram and handed it to Lu Shandao.

"Oh, when did it happen?" Lu Shan's face calmed down, he took a bite of rice and chewed slowly in his mouth. This was a new situation. Ishihara Kan'er was appointed as the chief of staff of the 39th Brigade at this time, which was not a good thing.

Ishihara Kaner is a difficult opponent, and if he doesn't make up his plan, he will be denied to this Japanese devil.

"Two days ago, Ishihara Kanir secretly returned to Fengtian. Itagaki Seishiro personally sent someone to pick him up!" Zhai Lequan said.

"Ishihara's wisdom and Itagaki's courage, these two people are really troublesome!" Lu Shan's brows were locked.

He knew these two people very well, and he had already experienced the cunning of Ishihara. When he was in Fengtian, he also dealt with Itagaki. He knew that this person was also very scheming and was definitely not a bold and reckless man in secret.

"Mr. Lu, it seems that the Japanese army's adjustment is for us this time." Zhai Lequan said with some concern.

"Lequan, don't worry too much. The Japanese army doesn't know our plan at all. Moreover, even if Ishihara becomes the chief of staff of the 39th Brigade, it is unrealistic to establish its prestige and control the troops in a short period of time. The 39th Brigade did not originally belong to the Kwantung Army sequence!" Lu Shan said slowly.

"I think this is a signal. The Japanese army is likely to conspire to attack us!" Zhai Lequan said.

"There is no doubt about this!" Lu Shan said, "so we must be ahead of them and give him a fatal blow first, while at the same time strengthening ourselves, disrupting their deployment, and delaying their attack!"

"Mr. Lu, is this okay? After all, this time they were dispatched troops from the local area, so they could enter the battle without any preparation?"

"Your worries are not unreasonable!" Lu Shan said, "But we are now on the string and we have to fire it."

"Even if Shi Yuan has three heads and six arms, he only has so many troops in his hands. We just need to follow the plan and act cautiously. Unless Shi Yuan can understand our plan, he will not be able to turn the world around!" Lu Shan said confidently.

"That's true. The Japanese would never have thought that we would attack their airport. This time, they were destined to let these invaders taste our power!" Zhai Lequan also smiled happily.

"We must take the initiative in the war in our hands. We cannot wait until the enemy hits the door before we think of counterattacking. Even if such a battle is won, it will only be a tragic victory. We must let the enemy fight according to our ideas. Even if we can't do anything to the other party for a while and lose some territory, it doesn't matter. As long as we are here, we can still retake it one by one in the future!" Lu Shan said.

"Mr. Lu is right. Don't care about the gains and losses of a city and a land. If you lose land, people will lose all people. If you lose land, people will lose all people and land!" Zhai Lequan said with a smile.

"That's right, Lequan, you've realized it!" Lu Shan laughed with his hands.

"This is not just about being influenced by your side, Mr. Lu!" Zhai Lequan said modestly.

"Okay, it's getting late. Go back and rest. I'll have to go to patrol the room later!" Lu Shan said.

"Yes, Mr. Lu!" Zhai Lequan stood up and saluted.

After lunch, Lu Shan processed some official documents and raised his hand to look at his watch. It was already midnight.

He picked up the flashlight on the table, opened the door and walked out.

"Monk, accompany me to patrol the night!" Lu Shan shouted, and Yang Shangwu quickly rushed down from the eaves.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Let's go, let's check the post first!" Lu Shan said.

This is Lu Shan’s habit in the army. He stayed in the special forces and later joined the National Security Bureau. Because he belonged to the operation department, this habit has been preserved. Until now, he stayed in the army for a day. If he didn’t patrol for one night, he wouldn’t be able to sleep after checking his post.

Dandong, Liaonan Military Sub-district Front Command.

After receiving the telegram, Lei Dong summoned a meeting of military cadres at or above the group level overnight.

"Mr. Lu urgently needs a power supply and plans to launch it two days in advance. What are the difficulties for everyone?" Lei Dong's command style is straightforward and he doesn't like to go around in meetings.

"Two days in advance, did something happen?" Huang Yuzhou said in surprise.

"Yes, the Kwantung Army has transferred two main divisions from Shanghai. Three days later, one of them will land in Lushun. Therefore, the plan must be completed before the enemy's heavy troops enter Manchuria!" Lei Dong explained.

"According to the Japanese convention, the total strength of these two major divisions exceeds 40,000?" Huang Yuzhou said.

"Well, the number of people will only be more or less, so everyone knows how much pressure we face next!"

All the military cadres looked trembling. Forty thousand elite Japanese soldiers armed to their teeth suddenly pressed on everyone's hearts!

"Everyone doesn't have to worry too much. Since ancient times, soldiers and generals have come to block the water and garrison. Although the Japanese army is powerful, they are fighting on our territory. As long as we unite and work together to fight the enemy, we may not be able to defeat the enemy!" Lei Dong said.

"Deputy General Lei is right. Although we have poor equipment and poor training, we are not afraid of death. There are still millions of compatriots as support. Just 40,000 people want to wipe us out, and they are delusional!" Zhao Dong stood up and said loudly.

"Zhao Tong is right. If the 40,000 Japanese troops advance together, we really can't do anything to them. But the Japanese troops will never use such tactics. They have a big appetite and will swallow us in one bite. Then their tactics are likely to be a siege from all directions, squeeze our living space, and thus destroy us little by little!" Miao Kexiu said.

"We will not consider what tactics the Japanese army will use to deal with us. What we need to do now is to complete the task assigned to us by the headquarters!" Lei Dong reminded, "It is planned to complete the task of seducing the enemy two days in advance!"

"Deputy General Lei, just give orders!" Huang Yuzhou said.

"good!"

"Huang Yunxian!"

"arrive!"

"Order your Fifth Brigade to launch an attack on Dazi Camp tomorrow morning. The attack should be fierce and the momentum should be strong, causing our army to go south to Lushun!"

"Yes!" Huang Yuzhou said loudly.

"Su Kun!"

"arrive!"

"Order you to lead the Second Brigade to advance west quickly, surround Liaoyang, blow up the railway, and then nail me there to attract the Japanese troops around you." Lei Dong said.

"Where are the captives?"

"If the Japanese army captured a lot of prisoners, if the puppet army is involved in the transportation team, it will help you reduce the burden of transportation!" Lei Dong thought for a moment.

"I understand!" Su Kun saluted and sat down.

"Teimei and I will take the 7th Brigade Commander Deng and I will take advantage of the time when you attack Liaoyang to attack Benxi and force Fengtian's Japanese army to go south to support. If Fengtian's Japanese army does not go south, then we will take the opportunity to go north and attack Sujiatun, the south gate of Fengtian!"

"This is the entire combat plan. Huang Yuzhou first launched an attack, inducing the Japanese army to focus on the direction of Daziba and make the decision to reinforce Daziba. Then Su Kunxi entered Liaoyang and made a sound like attacking the east and west, inducing Fengtian and Benxi Japanese troops to go south to support, and surrounded the points and attacked the points. Whether it is Benxi's Japanese army or Fengtian's Japanese army, as long as they come out, we will never come back!" Lei Dong explained the core strategy of his entire plan, which is to surround the points and attack the points and reduce the pressure on Fengtian!

If the Japanese army in Fengtian can be drawn out, it would be best. Once the airport starts, it would be difficult for the Japanese to rush to Dongta Airport if they send an army to Sujiatun, the gateway of Fengtian.

Lu Shan’s task to Lei Dong was to lure Fengtian’s Japanese army as much as possible to go south. If Fengtian’s Japanese army did not go south, it would be to ask Lei Dong to block Liaoyang and the Japanese army in Benxi area to rush to Fengtian to help!
