Nanjing, the headquarters of the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army, when the commander Hata Junliu learned that a brigade under the command of the Sano detachment was wiped out by the entire army at the head of the world, he could no longer maintain his composure and calmness, and he was so angry that he flipped the table at that time.

"Bastard! Rubbish! They brought shame on the Imperial Japanese Army! ”

The invincible Imperial Japanese Army did not fall behind in the confrontation of heavy groups on the frontal battlefield, but lost a full brigade in the area that had been occupied, how could this not make Tian Junliu angry.

Hearing Tian Junliu's angry roar in the office, the devil staff officers in the nearby office were all silent, they hadn't seen the commander so angry for a long time, and they also felt sorry for the temporarily formed Sano detachment.

A communications staff officer of the devil soldier walked to the door of Junroku Hatata's office with a telegram in his hand, and when he heard the sound of roaring and clattering things inside, he couldn't help but stop, looking in a dilemma.

Everyone knows that the commander Hata, Junroku, is angry now, and he will definitely not be able to get good fruit to eat if he goes in now, but he has a telegram in his hand that he has just received to send in.

Just when the devil, the communications staff officer, was in a dilemma, sonorous footsteps sounded in the corridor, and the chief of staff, Seishiro Sakagaki, strode over.

"Let's all go back to work—"

Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro saw that the people in each office poked their heads out and looked at the commander's office, and scolded with a calm face.

Hearing the scolding of Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro, these devil staff officers all retracted to their offices one after another.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that the devil's communication staff officer was still standing in place, Saka Yuanzheng Shiro frowned.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, here's a telegram that I was about to send to Your Excellen......cy the Commander," the Devil Communications Staff Officer hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro also saw the embarrassment of the communications staff officer, and said, "Give me the telegram, you go to work first."

"Hey!"

Seeing that Saka Yuanzheng Shiro was going to send it in for him, the devil's communication staff officer hurriedly handed over the telegram, and then left as quickly as if he had been amnestied.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Chief of Staff Ban Yuanshiro shook his head helplessly and pushed open the door of the office of Commander Junroku Hatata.

"Smack!"

As soon as Chief of Staff Ban Yuanshiro pushed open the door, a piece of exquisite porcelain smashed head-on, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been hit directly, which made Chief of Staff Ban Yuanshiro break out in a cold sweat.

The once clean and tidy office of the commander was in shambles, with precious books looted from China torn to shreds and fine porcelain reduced to slag.

Commander Hata, who has always maintained his majesty, has his clothes unbuttoned, and it seems that he is in a particularly bad mood.

At this moment, seeing the chief of staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro pushing the door in, he stopped roaring angrily, sat on the chair with a pant, raised his head and ordered angrily: "Immediately send someone to remove Taro Sano from his position as the head of the detachment and escort him to Nanjing for trial!" He was responsible for the death of more than a thousand soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army! ”

"Commander, I'm afraid that Taro Sano will not be able to come to Nanjing, I just got the news that he has committed suicide by breaking his stomach......" Chief of Staff Saka Yuanzheng Shiro shook his head helplessly, and handed over the telegram he had just received from the communications staff officer.

After hearing this, the angry commander Junroku Hata was also stunned, he didn't expect Taro Sano to commit suicide.

"Suicide by breaking the abdomen, suicide by breaking the abdomen, will the soldiers of the empire only use this way to escape punishment?!"

Taro Sano committed suicide in his abdomen, which made the anger of the commander Junroku Hata dissipate a lot, after all, someone must stand up and take responsibility for this defeat.

And he had Taro Sano detained in Nanjing, also to make him responsible, and to give an explanation to the base camp for this, and now that everyone is dead, it can be regarded as an explanation.

"I have carefully understood the whole battle process, and the "wolf" battle plan formulated by the Sano detachment this time does not have any major flaws, and the entire jade of the Hirayama brigade is really an accident. Chief of Staff Saka Yuanzheng Shiro pulled a chair and sat down by himself, and said seriously.

Commander Junroku Hata shook his head and said: "But Taro Sano still can't escape the responsibility for command mistakes, so don't defend him, he disappointed me too much this time."

The Chinese army launched a winter offensive in various theaters, and the guerrilla troops in the occupied areas were also extremely active, attacking cities and seizing land, destroying the order that the devil soldiers had built up with great difficulty.

You must know that a large part of the food supply of the divisions and regiments that they are now fighting on the front line and the main Chinese forces has come from the occupied areas.

Now the occupied territories are being devastated by the guerrillas, who have lost a lot of food supplies, which is fatal for the devils who have already exhausted the war reserves.

That's why they temporarily transferred troops to form the Sano Detachment, and the purpose was also to let them cooperate with the 12th Infantry Mixed Brigade and the 13th Infantry Mixed Brigade to sweep the occupied area and ensure food supply.

In the past half a month, the Sano detachment occupied Gaoyou and Nantong again, but the good times did not last long, and now they actually lost an infantry brigade at once, which was really like a blow, and the head of the devil commander Junroku Hata was full of gold stars.

"According to intelligence, the Shina army has a tendency to grow and develop in the occupied areas, and the defeat of the Sano detachment this time is a good proof that the strength of the Shina army in the occupied areas has exceeded our expectations, if it cannot be eliminated in time, then the food supply in the occupied areas cannot be effectively collected, and it looks like the spring is about to be sown, so it is necessary to end the war in the occupied areas before the beginning of spring." Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro said in a serious analysis.

"Commander, so I think that the top priority now is to immediately send someone to replace Taro Sano, who has committed suicide, and reorganize the troops to launch a law and order rectification operation! Ensuring order and stability in the occupied territories. ”

Commander Hata, Junroku Ho, did not know the importance of the occupied areas to them now, and now that they practice warfare to feed their wars, they have become dependent on the occupied areas, and if the chaos continues here, it will greatly affect the war on the front line.

"Sakagaki-kun, do you have any suggestions for trusting the leader of the detachment?" Commander Hata Junroku was also almost out of breath at this moment, raised his head and asked.

"I think that Watanabe Shouyisa, who just led his troops to defeat the attack of the Shina Army on the Jiujiang battlefield, is enough to be the new detachment leader." Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro thought about it and proposed.

"Shouichi Watanabe?" After hearing Saka Yuanzheng Shiro's words, Junroku Hata quickly searched for relevant information about Watanabe Shouichi in his mind.

As a commander, it is naturally impossible for Hatatakeroku to be familiar with every officer under his command, but fortunately, Watanabe Shouichi has just won a battle in Jiujiang, and he is still a little impressed.

"It's Watanabe Shou Ochisa, who ordered the slaughter of two hundred prisoners of the Shina Army in the battle of Jiujiang a few days ago?" Hata, Junroku looked up and asked uncertainly.

Chief of Staff Ban Yuanzheng Shiro nodded and said: "Although Watanabe Shouichi Osa is a bit murderous, but he is brave and good at fighting, he is a rare fierce general of the Imperial Japanese Army, good at attacking, send him to the occupied area to clear out the guerrillas, I think he will not let us down."
