    When Zhang Shaolin and others rushed to Caoxian, the whole of Xuzhou was in an uproar. After the new division commander of the 21st Division, Sakai Hoji, received the telegram from Xiaoxian, he was stunned and then furious.

    As the most important county in the southwest of Xuzhou, Xiao County has always been heavily garrisoned, but it was attacked by the Chinese army without any notice. Mr. Tang, who was celebrating his birthday, was killed, and his chief of staff was sent to the troops.  He was kidnapped and his life and death are unknown.

    What is very important is that in less than half an hour of fighting, all the imperial army officers in Xiao County were wiped out, and no one survived.

    According to the battle status report sent by the garrison in Xiao County, 289 Xiao County imperial troops were killed and 177 injured in this battle. All officers above second lieutenant were killed. Now there are only two sergeants left in the Xiao County garrison command.  , there are less than eighty soldiers left to fight.

    After hearing the news, Sakai Hoji suddenly felt dizzy, as if the sky was falling.

    He didn't care how many casualties there were among the Xiaoxian garrison. It didn't even matter that Governor Tang's uncle was killed. He was just the uncle of a pro-Japanese leader, so he was dead. But Masao Ishihara was his chief of staff, and in the end he was dead.  The important thing is that Shi Yuan is still his student, and he specifically applied to the base camp to transfer Shi Yuan to Xuzhou. If he was beaten to death like this, firstly, he would be sorry for Shi Yuan and his family, and secondly, the base camp would feel that he was disrespectful.  Wrong sight.

    What worries Sakai Hoji the most is that he and Tojo's old dog have always been at odds with each other. Once this gets out, the private may use this as an excuse to attack him. This is what Sakai Hoji least wants.  Things you see.

    Fortunately, there is still a chance to save all this. As long as he can rescue Ishihara Masao before the matter is reported to the base camp, then the matter will be easy to handle.

    After thinking for a while, Hoji Sakai threw the telegram on the table and shouted to the guard outside the door: "Uehara, order all officers above Lieutenant Colonel and above to go to the combat command room for a meeting immediately. They are not allowed to ask for leave. Tell them who cannot arrive on time.  Get out of the 21st Division immediately."

    "Hai!"

    Xuzhou. Japanese 21st Division. Operations Command Room.

    The atmosphere in the conference room was very strange at this time. Because the incident happened suddenly and no news was leaked beforehand, all the officers did not know why the division commander was so anxious to call them here.

    But from the serious tone of the messenger, they could vaguely tell that something must have happened, so after entering the door, they were all guessing what happened.

    The most important thing is that the tone of the division commander is so serious. If you fail to arrive on time, you will be kicked out of the 21st Division. Such an order has never been given before.

    "Tap tap tap"

    With a dull sound of footsteps, they saw the division commander coming to the command room surrounded by several guards. What was surprising was that they did not see Chief of Staff Ishihara next to the division commander.

    As we all know, Chief of Staff Ishihara was the division commander¡¯s student at the University of China. The two of them got along very harmoniously both personally and on official business. In the past, they would go to meetings together, but today only the division commander came.

    As soon as Lieutenant General Sakai entered the door, all the officers stood up instantly to show respect for him, the division commander.

    If he had left the past, Hoji Sakai would definitely make a tour to show his majesty and presence. However, this time he didn't care about it and said "sit" directly, and then the meeting began!

    After sitting down, Sakai Hoji looked around and found that there were many empty seats. He immediately asked in a deep voice: "Yamada, is everyone here?"

    Yamada Shinan is the deputy chief of staff of the 21st Division and a young officer whom Sakai Hoji values ????very much. When he heard the division commander ask himself, he immediately stood up and replied: "Report to the division commander, the officer should go to  There were supposed to be 18 people, but 13 actually arrived, and 5 people failed to arrive on time!¡±

    "Nani, who are these five people? Why aren't they here?"

    "Your Majesty, the five people who did not arrive on time are the division chief of staff, Chief Ishihara, the military police commander Takeda, the advisor of the 7th Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army, Aso-kun, the division's cavalry commander, Nishimura, and the intelligence chief, Shimomura.  !¡±

    After Major Yamada finished speaking, Sakai Hoji did not make any comments, but his face turned blue and red!

    The officers standing in front of the conference table suddenly felt cold, knowing that this was going to happen today.

    Although they have only been on official business with Sakai Hoji for a short period of time, only two and a half months, they have some understanding of His Excellency's temper.

    Normally, Mr. Sakai said:He is very kind and will adopt the opinions put forward by his subordinates as long as they are reasonable. He is a very good commander.

    But if he is in a bad mood, he will show this intriguing expression at this moment, and it will burst out immediately. At this time, any living object in front of him will be the target of his anger.

    As expected, Hoji Sakai squinted at the officers in the command room, and then said coldly: "Except for Mr. Ishihara who went out on business, where have the other four gone? Has the Staff Office verified it?"

    Yamada Jinan said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, your Excellency, the division commander, has verified that both Aso-kun and Shimomura-kun are performing official duties outside. They have also reported to the division headquarters in advance, and the orders were signed by you personally.  Chief Nishimura of the Cavalry Regiment was injured while encircling a group of bandits two days ago and is receiving treatment in a field hospital. He is just out of danger and cannot go to the ground yet, so he did not come. As for Chief Takeda of the Military Police, he has been in his humble duty.  I can¡¯t contact him, so I don¡¯t know what he is doing.¡±

    "Baga, is this an officer from our Empire of Japan? No one was even notified of the meeting?"

    All the officers in the entire headquarters were silent. They all heard the uncontrollable anger in the words of the division commander. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, secretly thinking that the few officers who did not come might be in trouble.

    Sure enough, after a brief silence, Sakai Hoji said with a livid face: "Immediately issue an order to remove Takeda Military Police Captain from his post and hand it over to the Division Headquarters for review and further processing!"

    Everyone shuddered. Not only was he dismissed from his post, but further processing was required. Was this to completely eliminate Takeda?

    Everyone has been there, and we know how difficult it is to climb from a soldier to a lieutenant-general officer step by step. I didn¡¯t expect that I would be raped just because I didn¡¯t show up for a meeting, and that I would even suffer more serious punishment for it. All of them.  Everyone was shocked.

    However, Sakai Hoji acted as if nothing was wrong. He didn¡¯t even look at the others and said directly: ¡°Let¡¯s start the meeting now!¡±

    Hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly expressed their luck that they were not implicated.

    "Everyone, the division headquarters just received a telegram from Xiao County. Three hours ago, Xiao County was attacked by a joint attack by the Zhi/Na government and Tubal Road. All officers above the second lieutenant level in Xiao County were killed in the attack.  Chief of Staff Ishihara, who was on official duty, was also at the scene of the attack. Ishihara-kun is now missing, and his life and death are unknown."

    When speaking, Sakai Hoji's voice was very deep. At this time, his mood was as low as his voice.

    As soon as the words fell, all the officers present felt suddenly enlightened. It turned out that something big had really happened, otherwise there would be no need for the division commander to be so angry.

    "Your Excellency, what happened to the Chief of Staff? Was he captured or"

    Before Captain Yagi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Hoji Sakai: "Everyone, according to the telegram sent back by the defenders of Xiao County, the attack occurred at the banquet of Mr. Tang Yaozu, and it was Li Guoyao's Shandong Guerrilla Corps who carried out the attack.  As well as the Luxi Detachment of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army. And according to news from Xiao County, 24 imperial officers were killed at the scene, and there were also seven or eight officers of the Imperial Association Army who were killed, including County Magistrate Tang.  My uncle, Mr. Tang, was not spared either."

    "However, the search and rescue personnel did not find Ishihara-kun's body at the scene, so they estimated that Ishihara-kun was captured by them. Therefore, they hope that the division headquarters will send powerful troops to hunt down the ** as soon as possible and rescue Ishihara-kun."

    Hearing this, all the Japanese officers were stunned. No wonder the division commander was so angry. It turned out that the chief of staff was captured. No one would be able to bear this, not to mention that the chief of staff was still a division commander.  A student of His Excellency the Head of School.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
