A combat staff officer next to him thought for a while and said, "Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, there seems to be a lot of strange things in it.

First of all, with the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Army Anqing Garrison, it is almost an easy task to defeat the two regiments of the Chinese Army.

Even if you are ambushed by the Chinese army and cannot win, you can definitely get out easily.

How could it be that it would be wiped out if there was no chance to generate power and seek assistance?

This is so abnormal!”

Okamura Yasuji turned his head and stared at the person who was talking, and asked, "How should I explain this in your opinion?"

The Japanese combat staff said: "I guess, is this the Chinese Tiger Corps causing trouble?

After all, except this army, there seems to be no Chinese army that can easily defeat our Great Japanese Imperial Army."

Okamura Yasuji did not ask for a conclusion, but turned his head and looked at the Chief of Staff Take Fujiwara, as if he wanted to hear his opinion.

Take Fujiwara understood Okamura's eyes and slowly spoke: "Commander, Huyi believes that this matter cannot be done by the Tiger Group!

Because the Chinese Army Tiger Ben was destroyed by our great Japanese Imperial Army in the Battle of Huoqiu!

In addition, although the Tiger Ben Group did cause immeasurable losses to our Great Japanese Imperial Army, we cannot think that it was done by the Tiger Ben Group of the Chinese Army when we encounter something.

Otherwise, if this continues, it will be extremely unfavorable for our Great Japanese Imperial Army!"

The Japanese combat staff said in surprise: "Chief of Staff, did the Chinese Army Tiger Ben regiment break out of Huoqiu County and was not completely wiped out?"

"Did the Hu Ben Group break out from Huoqiu County?" After a pause, Take Fujiwara asked back without answering, "Is it based on that telegram?"

The Japanese combat staff nodded.

Fujiwara Takedo: "Can't the telegram be fake?"

In the combat room, a group of Japanese officers suddenly heard this and their eyes widened and their scalp was numb. If this was the case, wouldn’t Lieutenant General Ito Masaki, the commander of the 101st Division of the Imperial Army, die unjustly?

Only Okamura Yasuji's expression remained unchanged because he fully agreed with Take Fujiwara's speculation. Before that, he had even specifically investigated and studied the matter, and had made deductions and speculations in this regard.

Take Fujiwara continued: "First of all, what is 100% certain is that at that time, the Chinese Army Tiger Ben and the New Fourth Army Independent Corps were indeed surrounded by the 101st, 106th, and 6th Division of our Imperial Army.

Faced with the siege of nearly 80,000 imperial troops, it is almost impossible to break through the siege of the Iranian Tiger Regiment and the New Fourth Army Independent Regiment!

The most important thing is that at that time, Huoqiu City Defense had been captured, and even the entire county town was razed to the ground by the Imperial Army's artillery fire!

Needless to think about it, the Chinese Army Tiger Ben and the New Fourth Army Independent Corps will have suffered heavy casualties by then.

The Huoqiu County is surrounded by open land and there is no terrain that can be used. Moreover, in order to prevent the Chinese Tiger Regiment, the Imperial Army units have already set up many checkpoints outside the city, which is not an exaggeration to say that it is a net of heaven and earth.

Under such circumstances, do you think that the Chinese Army Tiger Ben may break through and escape successfully?”

The Japanese officers still felt a little dazed because what Chief of Staff Take Fujiwara just said was so shocking and it brought them too much impact!

Take Fujiwara continued: "As for the telegram, that's better explanation! Under that circumstances, if the Chinese Army Tiger Ben was completely wiped out, the attack on the Chinese Army would be almost fatal!

Because of the deliberate propaganda of the Chinese government, the Hu Ben Group has long become a banner and a spiritual belief in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Once this belief is shattered, the Chinese will inevitably fall into endless confusion and panic.

In fact, according to information, the Chinese people at that time basically showed this situation after learning that the Hu Ben Group was destroyed.

And this is obviously not what the Chinese government wants to see.

The only solution is to re-establish a banner and a spiritual belief in the shortest time!

However, except for the Tiger Ben, any other army embarrassed this important task!

So, the message was sent out.

You all saw the results later.

Not only did the Chinese people regain their confidence, but all the Chinese troops were motivated, and the attack on our Great Japanese Imperial Army was also a huge blow!

It not only seriously affected the morale of the Imperial Army, but also seriously affected the reputation of the empire, and even made many Western countries laugh.

It is precisely because of the great impact that we don’t even have the time and opportunity to investigate the truth!

Otherwise, if the Chinese army's Tiger Ben Group was not annihilated by the Imperial Army and Wuhan is now lost, why has Yang Jing not appeared on the Wuhan battlefield for a long time?"

All the Japanese officers fell into deep thoughts.

One of the combat advisers said, "If this is the case, wouldn't we all be fooled by these hateful Chinese people?"

Another person followed and said, "Isn't the Chinese people too sinister?"

"Insidious?" Take Fujiwara sneered: "Don't forget that Sun Tzu's Art of War and the Thirty-Six Strategies were all invented by the Chinese!"

The Japanese officers were silent, and the combat staff who spoke first said, "But, besides the Chinese Army Tiger Ben, which army has the ability to wipe out an infantry brigade of the Imperial Army so easily?"

Fujiwara Takedo: "If it is a head-on battle, naturally no army can defeat our great Japanese Imperial Army!

Even a division may not be able to defeat an imperial army and a brigade!

But if it is an ambush, it is hard to say!

This time, the Anqing Guard Brigade was lightly equipped and did not dispatch strategic weapons such as tanks and tanks.

If the Chinese army set up a trap in advance, it would be impossible to defeat the Imperial Army!"

When the Japanese combat staff heard it was reasonable, they no longer struggled with this issue, but asked: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, what should we do now?"

Take Fujiwara pointed to the sand table and said: "At present, our attack center is in Wuhan!

The Chinese army in Yuexi area is not worth worrying at all. After taking Wuhan, it will be not too late to turn back to deal with them!"

"Yo Xi!"

Okamura Yasuki nodded with consent and agreed to Take Fujiwara's proposal.

The combat adviser said again: "Since the previous telegram was a conspiracy of the Chinese people, should we make it public to defend the dignity of our great Japanese empire?"

"Defend the dignity of my great Japanese empire?" Okamura Yasuji said in a cold voice: "Do you think it will be useful if we send a message to clarify it?"

The empire's face has been lost once, so we must not lose it again!"

"Hayi!"

The Japanese combat staff bowed their heads heavily.

In fact, there is another saying that Okamura Yasuji didn't say, that is, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid of if he was afraid of it. If they sent a message to clarify, things would reverse again.

Not only will the Empire be embarrassed again, but his reputation will be destroyed in one lifetime.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is undoubtedly the best.
