    "Report!"

    The sound coming from outside the door brought Okamura Neji's thoughts back to reality. Knowing that it was Hattori Saburo coming, Okamura Neji immediately said: "Come in!"

    With a "squeak" sound, the office door was opened from the outside, and then Saburo Hattori walked in with a solemn look on his face!

    "Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for me?"

    "Well, sit down!"

    After Hattori Saburo sat down, Okamura Neji immediately asked in a deep voice: "Hattori-kun, has the situation in the direction of Datong been determined?"

    "Your Excellency, it has been confirmed that Datong has indeed been captured by the Z/N people, and it is not just Datong. The areas confirmed to have been captured at this time include Datong County, Mining Area, Yanggao, Tianzhen, Youyu, and Fengzhen.  , Pingjiquan and other places." Major General Hattori Saburo said solemnly.

    "Baga, who did it? Have you investigated clearly?"

    "According to the intelligence we have collected, in addition to some of these troops wearing the uniforms of the Tubal Road, a large number of them are actually wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Japanese Army! So far, no party or government group has done so.  Take responsibility for this matter!" Hattori Saburo said.

    "That means you haven't found out the other party's identity?"

    "No, Your Excellency Commander, our secret service has roughly deduced the identity of the enemy who conquered Datong!"

    "Tell me, who is so bold?"

    "The ninth army is under Li Guoyao's command!"

    Hearing the number of this unit, Okamura Neji stood up from his chair with a look of surprise on his face!

    "Li Guoyao's department, how is this possible? Haven't your people always firmly believed that the main force of the department is in southern Hebei?" Okamura Neji asked in surprise.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, so far, many of the main forces under Li Guoyao are indeed active on the front line in southern Hebei. The main force of the 194th Division was also on the Guantao front line a few days ago and severely damaged an infantry regiment of the 10th Division.  team, causing more than 1,400 imperial troops to be shattered. But to know the specific strength of Li Guoyao's troops, the Imperial Japanese Army is still a mystery. We cannot guarantee that this division will not only have the exposed 177th Division, 194th Division and  Are there any other troops outside the Ninth Division?" Hattori Saburo asked.

    "Then why do you insist that the troops attacking Datong were Li Guoyao's and not other troops of the Eighth Route Army? You must know that the 120th Division, one of the three main forces of Tubal Road, is close to Datong City in northwest Shanxi. Why can't it be them!  "Okamura Neji asked the question in his heart.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, there is certainly a basis for making such a judgment in a humble position. There are three specific reasons!"

    "Those three?"

    "First of all, Li Guoyao himself has not appeared in public for a long time. Since the end of the Central Plains Campaign, Li Guoyao himself and several of his right-hand men have mysteriously disappeared. Even our multiple intelligence officers lurking in the unit have not discovered the other party's identity.  Traces, this is not in line with Li Guoyao¡¯s character.¡±

    "character?"

    "Yes, according to the analysis and judgment of our secret service agency, Li Guoyao's personality belongs to that kind of adventurous commander. His characteristic is that he will choose to take action as long as there is half a chance of winning. When the troops are strong, even if the imperial army does not provoke him,  They, this person will also take the initiative to attack. Whether it is on the Shandong battlefield or the southern Hebei battlefield, this person has taken the absolute initiative."

    Then Saburo Hattori continued: "However, it has been almost half a year since the end of the Central Plains Campaign. Li Guoyao's troops have hardly made any major moves, and he himself has not appeared in public. This discussion is not consistent.  Common sense, the only explanation is that this person is brewing a huge conspiracy or a large-scale battle plan!"

    Okamura Neji nodded and said: "There is a certain truth, but it cannot be concluded that the one who attacked Datong was Li Guoyao's army!"

    Saburo Hattori said immediately: "The second reason is that currently there is only one army in the entire North China region that has the ability to attack a major town like Datong, and that is Li Guoyao's army!"

    "What about those troops in the first and second theaters? They don't have the strength to attack important towns?"

    "Do not have!"

    Feeling that Okamura Neiji seemed not satisfied with such an answer, Hattori Saburo said again: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have checked all the battle logs in North China from Showa 13 to the beginning of this month, and found that during the three-year period,  In more than a year, the Zhi/Na government troops, Tubal Road and various local troops launched a total of 277 attacks on towns above the county seat.Towns were destroyed 157 times, including 24 regional central cities.  "

    "Here, the Chinese government troops launched 198 attacks, 134 of which were successful. 23 of the 24 regional central cities were defeated by the Chinese government troops. But except for Linyi and Baotou,  Except, the rest were all captured by Li Guoyao¡¯s troops, including Zaozhuang, Heze, Xuzhou, Handan, Liaocheng, etc.!¡±

    "It can be seen that the most offensive force in North China is not Wei Lihuang's first theater or Yan Xishan's second theater, nor the difficult Tubal Road in the south, but Li Guoyao's, and only  Only with this force can we capture an important town like Datong in the shortest possible time without attracting the attention of the Imperial Japanese Army."

    Okamura Neiji was shocked by the data Saburo Hattori said, but he still didn't believe it. After all, there were no other changes in Li Guoyao's department during this period.

    ??Besides, even if Li Guoyao's troops really planned to attack Datong, the movement of troops from southern Hebei to northern Shanxi was not a few kilometers, but hundreds of kilometers across. The movement of tens of thousands of troops could not be so silent.

    "I still find it hard to believe that it was Li Guoyao's troops who conquered Datong. This is too unbelievable. Let's talk about your third reason!" Okamura Neiji said.

    "Hai!"

    Then Hattori Saburo said again: "The third reason for humble position is the tactical evidence. Based on what we learned, we can roughly deduce how Li Guoyao's troops captured Datong City silently!"

    "Oh, how did they do it?"

    "Pretend to approach and attack suddenly!"

    "What's the meaning?"

    Saburo Hattori immediately said: "According to the report from the Mongolian Army Command, the 13th Regiment of the First Brigade of the Cavalry Group also disappeared on the day Datong City was captured. The cavalry unit received a report from the Mongolian Army Command the day before yesterday.  The order is to go south from Baotou to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Tubal Road in northern Shanxi."

    "According to the normal route, they will arrive at Pingdiquan Town via Guisui, Zhuozi County, Jining and other places, and then join the troops of the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Imperial Association Army and go south together. However, on that day, the 13th Regiment and the Imperial Army  After the Allied Forces converged and headed south, they lost track of them, and the Mongolian Army Headquarters contacted many parties but never received a response."

    "And coincidentally, after the city of Datong was broken, the people who entered the city were not the troops, but the ones wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Army of Japan. Apparently someone was pretending to be an Imperial Army troop, and most of them were cavalry. What happened  It is already obvious here. Apparently the 13th Regiment was ambushed by an army on its way south and was completely wiped out. The other party put on their military uniforms and equipment, deceived the gates of Datong into open at night, and captured the city!  "

    "In the entire Chinese battlefield, there is only one Chinese army that is familiar with and good at using this tactic, and that is Li Guoyao's army. To sum up, the one who attacked Datong City this time should be Li Guoyao's Ninth Army!"

    Okamura Neji asked with a livid face: "Hattori-kun, how sure are you of this matter?"

    "More than 80%, even those who attacked Lingqiu and Laiyuan before were not necessarily Tubalu, but probably Li Guoyao's troops!" Hattori Saburo said again in shock.
