Chapter 857: One more independent mixed brigade

Zhang Yunhe immediately ordered Ah Gui: "Immediately send someone to investigate the current location of the 51st Division, and report to me as soon as you have any information!"

"Yes, sir!" Ah Gui stood at attention and agreed, then turned around and left quickly.

If it was just the 104th Division, Zhang Yunhe would not be too worried. After all, the 104th Division could attack and defend. However, the troops only had people, and the number of troops was comparable to that of his merchant corps.

But if we add the 51st Division, it will be different. The 51st Division came from the Northeast. It has three infantry regiments, as well as three regiments of reconnaissance, engineering, and light and heavy troops. In addition, there are communications teams, weapons service teams, medical teams, the first and fourth field hospitals, with a total strength of about 100,000 people.

If the 51st Division is now heading towards the island, then the Japanese troops here have reached nearly a human strength.

If we count the reorganized foreigners and Indians on Zhang Yunhe's side, the total strength of the troops is also there, and the strength of both sides is equal, but their combat effectiveness is incomparable. Those foreigners and Indians have no combat effectiveness at all.

If the 100 fighter planes and bombers dispatched by the Japanese in the news from Matsui were heading towards the island, then Zhang Yunhe would no longer have the air advantage.

Taking this into consideration, Zhang Yunhe felt a greater sense of urgency and immediately picked up the phone to call the flight regiment.

"Hello, I'm Pang Yong"

Zhang Yunhe said, "Pang Yong, intelligence indicates that the Japanese 51st Division is advancing towards us. Immediately after dawn tomorrow, send a reconnaissance plane to conduct a thorough reconnaissance within 200 kilometers to the north. If you discover large-scale enemy movement, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes, sir, send a reconnaissance plane to conduct reconnaissance within 200 kilometers to the north early tomorrow morning!" Pang Yong stood at attention and said loudly on the other end of the phone.

After all, Ah Gui's intelligence department was established only a few days ago. Although it has incorporated the foreign devil's Far East Intelligence Agency, its ability to collect Japanese military intelligence still needs to be strengthened.

The next morning, more than an hour after the flight regiment sent out a reconnaissance plane for reconnaissance, the regiment commander Pang Yong called the headquarters.

"Sir, our reconnaissance plane has spotted a large number of Japanese troops moving towards Yuezhou, 60 kilometers northwest in a straight line and 220 kilometers in a curve. They are likely the 51st Division. At their marching speed, they should be able to reach this point in six to seven days."

"There is another Japanese army coming from the east. They are marching very fast. There are about 8000 soldiers. They are about 170 kilometers away from us. At their current marching speed, they are expected to arrive here in about 5 or 6 days."

"We suspect this Japanese unit might be the 19th Independent Mixed Brigade!"

Zhang Yunhe immediately instructed upon hearing this: "Pay close attention to the changes in the positions of these two enemy troops. Daily reconnaissance missions cannot be interrupted. Don't worry about running out of fuel!"

"Yes, sir!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and called the Intelligence Department.

Ah Gui answered the phone. Zhang Yunhe asked, "I asked you to investigate the location of the Japanese 51st Division yesterday evening. How's your progress?"

Ah Gui said, "Sir, we have used a spy from the Far East Intelligence Agency in Xiangshan. 20 minutes ago, he called back and said that the Japanese 51st Division left Xiangshan at 2:00 pm yesterday. I have ordered people to find the whereabouts of the 51st Division. I will report to you as soon as I have any news."

After listening to this, Zhang Yunhe concluded that the Japanese troops spotted 60 kilometers northwest were most likely the 51st Division. He immediately reported the reconnaissance plane's findings to Ah Gui, and then said, "Immediately send people to these two directions to verify and see which two Japanese troops these are!"

"Yes, Zhang Yunhe, with their specific location, it will be much easier to verify their identities."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Gui came to Zhang Yunhe's office with a file bag to report.

"Sir, the designations of those two Japanese troops have been verified. They are the 51st Division and the 19th Independent Mixed Brigade. Here are their organization, troop strength, weapons, equipment, and ammunition. These are special divisions. From the 21st to the 49th Divisions, and from the 51st to the 57th Divisions, these are newly established special divisions by the Japanese to adapt to combat in our country's mountainous areas."

"At the beginning, these special divisions had only about 1.2 or 1.3 troops. By the second year of the war, the strength of these special divisions had expanded to a maximum of 1.7 troops."

Zhang Yunhe looked at the 51st Division's information and asked, "So the 51st Division currently has 1.7 troops?"

Ah Gui replied: "Yes, it also includes the personal information of the division commander Kanichiro Ueno and several regiment commanders, as well as the weapons and equipment of the division."

At the same time, in the secret office of Lan Agency in Yuezhou.

In a conference room, Maeda Masashi said sternly to several of his capable subordinates seated on either side, "We just received news that the Fushoucao Operation Team on the island has suffered heavy losses. Having just been assigned to the island, they didn't adapt quickly enough to their new roles, and lacked vigilance during their activities. As a result, four of them have been arrested."

"Luckily, the person who escaped notified the others in time to evacuate the hidden residence and contact point!"

"Yet no one from the Lily Group, which has been operating on the island for a long time, has been apprehended. The latest military and economic intelligence we received about the island was transmitted by them!"

Seeing that his men were all listening attentively, Maeda Yoshitsugu continued, "After reviewing the intelligence, Lord Komoda has given us orders to do everything in our power to attack and blow up the island's military defense facilities, airports, ammunition depots, and grain storage facilities to create favorable conditions for our upcoming large-scale operation!"

A Japanese spy asked, "Mr. Maeda, if you count the foreign troops, the enemy has over 3 troops. We only have the 104th Division, which has only 1.3 men. If we don't have naval and air superiority, can we break through?"

Maeda Masashi smiled faintly. "Don't worry, everyone. Since the higher-ups have decided to launch another attack, they will definitely send sufficient troops. As far as I know, the 51st Division and the 19th Independent Mixed Brigade have already received the transfer order and are on their way. I believe we can launch the attack within 10 days at most."

"The Front Command has ordered us to collect information on the high and low tides on the nearby coast, and to investigate which coastal villages have fishing boats and other ships, so that the Imperial Army can gather enough ships to launch an attack from other directions."
