    The meeting continued. After understanding the true situation of the matter, all officers of the 21st Division Headquarters realized the seriousness of the situation.

    Leaving aside Ishihara¡¯s other identities, his identity as chief of staff of a division is enough to attract too many people¡¯s attention.

    More importantly, Ishihara did not take office for a long time, only two months before and after. Being killed in such a short period of time may have caused a shock beyond imagination, and it may also make people at the Corps Headquarters or the Front Army Headquarters think that the 21st  The division's combat effectiveness has not yet been restored.

    It can be said that the life and death of Chief of Staff Ishihara is not only his own business, but also related to the honor of the 21st Division as a whole.

    Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, Lieutenant General Sakai Hoji said in a deep voice: "Gentlemen, Ishihara is my student, and he is the only male in the Ishihara family. Please think about how to rescue Ishihara. If he is here,  Something happened right under my nose, and I don¡¯t even know how to explain it to the old and young of the Ishihara family.¡±

    When speaking, Sakai Hoji's face turned gloomy, and it could be seen that he was feeling very sad and tired.

    Yuichiro Sakurai, captain of the 21st Division Artillery Regiment, was the first to speak: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, it is necessary to rescue Chief of Staff Ishihara, but I think the most important thing we have to do now is not to find the whereabouts of Ishihara-kun, but  All troops should be ordered to strengthen defense. I think you have all heard of the terrifying combat effectiveness of Li Guoyao's combat team. Once they take advantage of the loophole, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    "Baga, what do you mean by working? Do you mean that Shiyuan is not important?"

    Hearing this, Sakai Hoji immediately became furious and shouted directly!

    In addition to this reason, there is another reason why Sakai Hoji said this, that is, he looks down on Li Guoyao's combat team.

    Although various rumors about this unit are flying all over the sky, for example, this small team is an elite selected by Li Guoyao from tens of thousands of troops, each one is worth a hundred, and their weapons and equipment are also very sophisticated, and they are good at  In sneak attack operations, many front army leaders regarded this unit as an invincible magic weapon.

    Sakai Hoji does not deny that Li Guoyao's combat team is powerful. In his opinion, this is a real special operations team, no big deal.

    He knew about the formation of special forces, and the Imperial Japanese Army also had one. This was a new type of unit introduced from the ally German Army. Hoji Sakai had seen this unit before when he was in China.

    To be honest, in Hoji Sakai's opinion, the special forces team is really a bit flashy. Firstly, a special forces team must be composed of carefully selected elites. However, in this way, it is necessary to select combat backbones from each unit, which will inevitably affect other  The combat effectiveness of the troops.

    Secondly, training a special forces team member is extremely expensive. Even the Empire of Japan has only trained less than 500 people, but the money spent is enough to form a third-class garrison division.

    Calculating carefully, a C-class division has at least 15,000 men. In terms of combat capabilities, a C-class division is definitely stronger than a small force of 500 men.

    "Besides, the Imperial Japanese Army is now short of troops everywhere. Five hundred people sent to the Chinese battlefield will not even make a splash, but the strength of a division can change the balance of strength in a small region.

    This is still the situation of the Imperial Japanese Army. They know a little about the situation of Li Guoyao's unit. This army is not favored by the Chinese government at all. The little military expenditure allocated to them is probably not enough to feed the soldiers on the front line.  If you have enough food, you still have money to train a special force team that is as big as a gold-eating beast.

    Even if they are trained, how many people can they train based on their actual situation? One hundred people or two hundred people?

    Except for sneak attacks on small strongholds and small counties, such a small number of people are of little use in a big battle. This is another reason why Hoji Sakai scolded Colonel Sakurai.

    Colonel Sakurai Yuichiro knew that Sakai Hoji had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency, division commander, please calm down, you have misunderstood me."

    "Misunderstanding? Then what do you mean by working? Tell me quickly!"

    Sakurai Yuichiro wiped the cold sweat on his head and explained: "Your Excellency, the division commander, I think that since many parties have cooperated to attack the small Xiao County, and all the elite troops have been sent, it is obvious that Tang Yaozu is not  It's worth supporting/that person to go to war, which means their target is not Tang Yaozu."

    "Then who are they going for? Are they going for Ishihara?" Sakai Hoji asked hurriedly.

    "It might be, but it might not be!"

    &nbsp"Baga, is this equivalent to saying nothing?"

    "Your Excellency, please calm down and listen to my humble explanation!"

    "explain!"

    "Your Majesty's Chief of Staff, although he has a high position, may attract the attention of the people. If they know that Mr. Ishihara is going to Xiao County to celebrate his birthday, they may really deal with Mr. Ishihara specifically. But for a mere Chief of Staff,  It¡¯s a bit unreasonable to dispatch so many elites, so the other party may have a bigger conspiracy!¡±

    "What conspiracy?"

    ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, the supporter¡¯s move should be directed at you, the division commander!¡±

    "Nani, are you here for me?"

    "Hai! A few days ago, our patrol team and intelligence department discovered traces of Li Guoyao's activities outside the city. The other party attacked two strongholds of the imperial army, blew up two railway bridges, and even attacked  We formed a transport team, and from the perspective of combat methods, they are highly similar to the combat team led by Li Guoyao, which shows that the opponent¡¯s primary target is Xuzhou!¡±

    Yuichiro Sakurai then continued: "However, due to the timely response of the division headquarters, which continuously mobilized troops to encircle and suppress this small force, and at the same time strengthened the protection capabilities of Xuzhou City and nearby counties, this combat team had no chance to take advantage of it.  He finally had to go south to Xiao County."

    "And in Xuzhou City, the only person who can really attract the attention of a strong general like Li Guoyao is you, the division commander! What's more, since the other party can accurately find Mr. Ishihara at the birthday banquet,  Obviously, we already know his whereabouts well. If the other party is really going for Mr. Ishihara, I'm afraid they will take action on the way. There is no need to wait until they enter Xiao County before taking action. This is not in line with common sense."

    Sakai Hoji asked in a deep voice: "Do you think those people came for me, and captured Ishihara to threaten me?"

    Sakurai Yuichiro said hurriedly: "Hai! If the other party is going for Ishihara-kun, he should be beaten to death directly at the birthday banquet. There is no need to go to all the trouble to take him away. Therefore, the reason why they want to kidnap Ishihara  You must want to threaten you with Major Ishihara."

    "Yo Xi, keep talking!" Sakai Hoji said.

    "Hai!"

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, if Ishihara's inference is correct, then if Ishihara-kun was not killed at the scene, he should be safe now. Since Ishihara-kun's life is not in danger, Ishihara believes that we should not be too impatient now.  , we should first order the troops to strengthen their precautions and not give the supporter an opportunity to take advantage of it."

    Seeing that Sakai Hoji was a little hesitant, Sakurai Yuichiro continued: "Your Excellency, our move is not only for the overall situation, but more importantly, we are giving a signal to the supporter/that person, that is, Ishihara is in our division and the division  You are not as important as they think, so those people will think that the chips in their hands are limited, and the imperial army will be able to pay less when rescuing Ishihara-kun."

    Sakai Hoji himself is also a rare wise general in the Japanese Army, and his combat command ability is second to none in the Japanese Army. If Ishihara was not his student, which affected his judgment, how could he have such a superficial truth?  I can't figure it out.

    After thinking for a while, Sakai Hoji immediately said, "Sakurai-kun, your inference is very reasonable. If your inference is correct, the person who supports you should contact us soon!"

    "Your Excellency, division commander, what should we do now?" the deputy chief of staff asked in a deep voice.

    "Strengthen the defense capabilities of each unit, and at the same time increase the attack on the resistance forces. Didn't a guerrilla group be found in Weishan Lake? Since they can send special forces to sneak attack our county,  Then we can also send elite troops to sneak attack their base, and we can have fun with those damn troops!"

    At this point, Sakai Hoji's voice suddenly increased, and he said loudly: "Order: All units strengthen precautions to prevent sneak attacks by the special forces. At the same time, each unit strictly checks strangers entering and leaving the city. As long as their origins are unknown and they have no  Those who testify will be locked up, and once proven to be spies, they will be executed immediately. If traces of the special forces are found, they will be reported to the headquarters immediately, and all units are strictly prohibited from attacking privately."

    "Hai!"

    "Order: The division search team and the cavalry regiment's first team will assemble immediately, and with the cooperation of the intelligence department, launch a sneak attack on the guerrillas in Weishan Lake and occupy their base, Weishan Island."

    "Hai!"
