"The defeated general?" Zhong Yi said, "You would be wrong if you think so."

After saying that, Zhong Yi strode into the divisional combat room of the 63rd Division.

Yan Jingguo, the commander of the 63rd Division, the chief of staff, Gao Hongen, and the three commanders below looked at each other, and then followed Zhong Yi into the division headquarters' combat room.

After successfully hunting Imamura Jung, Zhong Yi did not return to Yinjiang immediately, but came to the headquarters of the 63rd Division located in Baoguo Temple.

Yan Jingguo and the others were very excited when they learned that Zhong Yi personally led the special war brigade to hunt Imamura Jung, and they all felt that after the Fifth Division lost its division commander, their combat operations would be greatly disturbed.

In this way, they had several more days to prepare.

But Zhong Yi poured cold water on them and said another possibility.

Zhong Yi also felt that Nishio Suzuo might have Sakamoto Shun acting as the commander of the division.

Just now, Yan Jingguo and the others were talking about Shun Sakamoto, thinking that he was not worth worrying about.

Yan Jingguo followed Zhong Yi into the war room and said, "Chief Staff Zhong, are we wrong? This Sakamoto Shun is indeed mediocre, otherwise he would not have almost destroyed the entire army in Taierzhuang."

Gao Hongen said: "Yes, if it weren't for Tang Enbo's stupid pig, the Sakamoto Detachment and the Seya Detachment would have been completely wiped out by the Fifth War Zone. If this were the case, the result of the Xuzhou Battle might have been rewritten."

"This is impossible." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Even if there is no such pig as Tang Enbo, even if the entire Sakamoto Detachment and Seya Detachment are destroyed, the result of the Xuzhou Battle will not be rewritten!"

Yan Jingguo said: "But it is a fact that Sakamoto's army was almost destroyed!"

"It is indeed true that Sakamoto's army was almost destroyed." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "But this does not mean that Sakamoto's ability is insufficient. On the contrary, it is precisely because of Taierzhuang's miserable defeat that Sakamoto's Sakamoto is even more dangerous!"

Gao Hongen said sternly: "Chief of Staff Zhong said that after the old Japanese devil Shun Sakamoto was defeated in Taierzhuang, he kept holding his anger in his heart, so he wanted to take this opportunity to get the place back?"

"Yes, that's it." Zhong Yi said, "Being shameful and brave, this is the most terrifying thing!"

Yan Jingguo said in a deep voice: "So, Chief of Staff Zhong, you hunted Imamura Jung this time, not only is it not a good thing, but it has become a bad thing? Instead, it makes the situation more serious than before?"

"That's not true." Zhong Yi said, "Killing Imamura Jung-kun will at least be a heavy blow to the morale of the Fifth Division! If they can beat them a few more times next, the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division will decline sharply."

Gao Hongen nodded and said, "If the Fifth Division is compared to a bull, then Chief of Staff Zhong's attack on Imamura Jung would be like stabbing a sword on the back of this bull. Although this sword is not fatal, it leaves a long-term bleeding wound. In this way, the continuous battle time of this bull will be greatly shortened."

"That's what it means." Zhong Yi said, "But on the other hand, after this bull is stabbed with a sword, he will fall into rage and then burst out with stronger strength, so you must be mentally prepared."

Speaking of this, he continued, "But on the other hand, as long as you overcome the first three axes of the Fifth Division, the next battle will be easy."

...

At the same time, in Andong, Cixi County.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn.

Two old Japanese men carrying generals on their shoulders sat side by side at the top. On both sides were eight old Japanese men carrying the rank of colonels, and there was also a colonel standing on the other end of the conference table.

The two old Japanese who were sitting in the upper head, one was the brigade commander of the 9th Brigade, Oikawa Qihara, and the other was the brigade commander of the 21st Brigade, Shun Sakamoto.

The eight colonels on the left and right sides are the eight regiment captains below.

The colonel standing at the other end of the conference table was Takeshi Sakurada, the chief of staff of the Fifth Division.

Takeshi Sakurada just introduced the whole story of the attacks between Imamura to the two brigade commanders and eight regiment captains present.

"The division commander was attacked, that's it." Takeshi Sakurada said this and said, "Next, let's wait for the orders from the headquarters and the base camp, and the meeting will be discontinued now."

The two brigade commanders and eight regiment commanders stood up and wanted to leave after hearing this.

At this moment, a communications consultant hurried in.

"His Excellency Chief of Staff!" The communications officer bowed to Takefuka Sakurada and reported, "The headquarters is urgently telegram!"

The two brigade commanders who were about to leave, the eight regiment commanders sat back on the chair at the same time.

Takeshi Sakurada received the telegram and opened it. After reading it, he frowned slightly, then stretched out again, and said, "Everyone, I just received the order from the Commander-in-Chief that the Fifth Division will be divided into two, with the 9th Brigade and the 21st Brigade as the bases, which will be organized into the Oikawa Detachment and the Sakamoto Detachment."

A buzzing whisper immediately sounded in the conference room.

Not only were the eight convoys who felt very sudden about this, but Oikawahara was also a little surprised.

Shun Sakamoto suddenly stood up and asked, "Sakurada, did the Commander-in-Chief say how to split it?"

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief didn't say it." Takeshi Sakurada shook his head and said, "I guess we'll discuss it ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Sakamoto's eyes immediately fell on Oikawahara Qi and said, "Oikawa, then this is our business. What do you have to ask?"

Oikawahara Qidao: "I don't have any special requests, just divide it equally."

Shun Sakamoto said: "Iokawa, I have an offer, I wonder if you want to hear it?"

"A proposal?" Oikawahara Yoichi said, "Sakamoto, let's hear it."

Shun Sakamoto said: "Your Oikawa Detachment can divide up an extra field artillery brigade, but the chariot squadron directly under the division must give us the Sakamoto Detachment."

Oikawahara Shizuo thought for a moment and said, "Yes."

Shun Sakamoto said again: "Then now, please choose the battlefield first."

Oikawahara Qi originally wanted to choose Kowloon Lake, because the national defense line opposite Kowloon Lake had not been repaired yet, and the difficulty of breaking through was relatively low. However, after Shun Sakamoto said this, he felt embarrassed.

At that moment, Oikawahara Qia said: "I will leave Kowloon Lake to you Sakamoto Detachment, let's go to Hengjie!"

"Yoxi, Oikawa is worthy of being a national sage." Shun Sakamoto was not polite and nodded happily, "Then our Sakamoto Detachment is not polite."

Then, the split of the cavalry corps, baggage corps, engineer corps, and field hospitals.

However, the personnel of the division headquarters did not split up and followed Takeshi Sakurada and joined the Orion Detachment.

After the split, the Oikawa Detachment and Sakamoto Detachment were basically the same, with about 15,000 people.
