Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

The Special High Police Department, abbreviated as Tokukoku, is a spy organization of Japan. It has been established for more than 100 years and is affiliated with the Ministry of the Interior of Japan.

Initially, the Special High Section was an agency to deal with domestic incidents, but with the need for Japan to invade Tang and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually change the functions of the Special High Section.

A more obvious sign is that Japanese embassy and consulate officials in foreign countries not only carry out intelligence work but also cooperate with other spy intelligence agencies in conducting espionage activities.

There was a branch of the Special High Police inside the Japanese Consulate Police Station in Peiping, but only a few high-ranking Japanese officials and internal staff of the Special High Police knew about it.

At this moment, two women came here.

Yamaguchi Keiko and Xiaohuan, aka Zhang Shulan, whose Japanese name is Yukawa Sakurako.

"Now, you won't have any doubts about our young master's ability, right?" Zhang Shulan looked at Yamaguchi Keiko and said with a hint of teasing.

Yamaguchi Keiko carefully checked the surroundings of the room and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. Finally, she sighed deeply and said:

"Those who can enter the Special High Section are carefully selected and are extremely loyal to the Empire. Not to mention that a high-ranking official like me who knows a lot of secrets is basically impossible to betray the Empire.

So, to be honest, when I gave myself to the young master, I was thinking of muddling through it. As long as I could keep my life, I could continue to work for the empire."

Zhang Shulan seemed to have known this for a long time. She pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Really? When I accompanied you to Taiyuan, I had no protection around me. Why didn't you turn against me? You know the relationship between me and the young master. As long as you control me and use it as a threat, you will get a lot of what you want!"

Yamaguchi Keiko shook her head and said, "You are just an ordinary person's idea. Doing this will only get you superficial things, and only temporarily. The reason why I kept you is because I know how important you are to the young master. I am using the young master's trick to find out the young master's bottom line.

However, as time went by, the young master won several wars against the empire with overwhelming advantages, and he did not lie to me, he really had a deadly weapon for the empire.

Especially the recent bombing of the Empire's homeland, which has extinguished the last hope in my heart.

I also completely understood that the young master really has the ability to destroy the empire.

Therefore, in order to protect the empire and its civilians, I have made up my mind to surrender sincerely! "

"Haha, you understand it not too late. Fortunately, you didn't do anything harmful to the young master, otherwise the consequences would not be something you could bear! You should understand what role you play, and do your job well in the future. I will speak for you in front of the young master in the future!"

Today's Zhang Shulan is no longer the half-innocent little Huan. She has become a mature and steady intelligence agent who can handle Japanese high-ranking officials and well-trained spies with ease.

She knew that it was useless to threaten Keiko Yamaguchi with someone's life, so she never said such words.

Perhaps it was because Keiko Yamaguchi left her hometown when she was young and had a strong desire for family, so she did not want her compatriots to be separated from their wives and children.

And this is exactly Yamaguchi Keiko's biggest weakness.

It's ridiculous to say that if Xu Le hadn't appeared, Yamaguchi Keiko would still be helping the Japanese invade the Tang Dynasty while cherishing the lives of her own people.

Yamaguchi Keiko looked around again with caution, and then said, "I understand my identity. I am just a chess piece. I will fulfill my duties as a chess piece, and I will contact the prince in a while."

"So what should we do next? The higher-ups seem to want to keep us in Peking!"

"Then let's stay here. The situation in Jin Province is already determined, and we have also made some preparations there. Today, the North China Front Army has become the largest military region of the Empire in the Tang Dynasty. Many military secrets will be decided in Peking. We will also get some important intelligence here and pass it on to the young master!"

Zhang Shulan paused for a few seconds and then agreed. Although she hadn't contacted Xu Le for some time, she knew roughly what to do next without any orders.

For example, the information about the Japanese deployment in Jiang Feng's hands was passed on from her. The information about the Kwantung Army's tank division deployment was also obtained from the Japanese headquarters.

........

It is May now, the weather has warmed up, and the 5th Army's naval, land and air forces are training as usual.

The peak period of recruiting new soldiers has passed. With the addition of 2 people drawn from the reserve forces, an additional 5 front-line combat troops will be added. The reserve forces will once again remain at 5, which means that the front-line army strength will reach nearly 10.

Of course, the training of new recruits is not completed so quickly, especially in the Air Force.

When Xu Le was about to start making slight adjustments to the existing troops, one troop completed the reorganization the fastest.

That is the 664th Regiment of Guo Metro.

Because of the special relationship, except for the political commissar and the instructor, all the people in the 664th Regiment were converted from the puppet army. After the ideological education and selection work of the Political Department, the 664th Regiment now has 7000 people, far exceeding the regimental establishment.

After discussion, non-combat members were added to the 664th Regiment, and then it was expanded into the second armored division of the 88th Army.

Its number was also approved by the Military Commission: 2nd Armored Division, Datang's second modernized armored division, with Guo Ditie as the division commander.

The first one is naturally the 176th Armored Division.

在编制上却有了些许更改，下辖装甲4团、装甲5团、机步664团和炮4团，坦克为69式中型坦克，炮团为83式152毫米自行榴弹炮。

All regimental-level anti-aircraft battalions were reduced to anti-aircraft companies, with the number of anti-aircraft guns per company increased from 6 to 9, making it a reinforced company.

The division's air defense force was the same as that of other divisions, reduced from a regiment to an air defense battalion, which was composed of two Type 2 anti-aircraft gun companies and one Type 74 anti-aircraft gun company, with a total of 1 anti-aircraft guns.

The original armored regiment did not have an artillery battalion. After this adjustment, an anti-aircraft company and an artillery battalion were added. However, they were not equipped with Type 83 152mm self-propelled howitzers, but new equipment provided by Xu Le.

The system price of one Type 5000 85mm tracked self-propelled howitzer is 122 military merit points.

The self-propelled gun has a combat weight of 20 tons, a maximum speed of 57 kilometers per hour, a maximum range of 500 kilometers, a maximum range of 15 kilometers using a high-impact armor-piercing grenade, and a range of 18 kilometers using a bottom-concave high-impact armor-piercing grenade.

Since then, all the artillery of the tank regiment and mechanized infantry regiment has been replaced with Type 85 122mm self-propelled howitzer.

This rectification improved the organization of the three types of divisions, each of which had four regiments and an air defense battalion under its jurisdiction.

An armored division consists of two armored regiments, one mechanized infantry regiment, one self-propelled artillery regiment, and one anti-aircraft artillery battalion;

The mechanized infantry division consists of one armored regiment, two mechanized infantry regiments, one self-propelled artillery regiment and one anti-aircraft artillery battalion;

The motorized infantry division consists of three motorized infantry regiments, one towed artillery regiment, and an anti-aircraft machine gun battalion. The number of Type 3 1mm anti-aircraft machine guns in the anti-aircraft machine gun battalion has also been changed to 77, which not only serve as anti-aircraft firepower, but also as ground suppression firepower to cooperate with infantry operations.
