The secret station of Jinling of the advisory department of the special high class.

"Look, Minister, this is a telegram from Miss Hoshino, she has inquired about the lost freighter of the Sugi Agency, which may be in the junction of the Yunju Mountains and Rivers, and the local people say that there is a group of stragglers from the Yamashiro government who are entrenched there, and it is a guerrilla force formed by some people who have been scattered in several wars, and the number cannot be ascertained in a short time, and there may be as many as two or three hundred people."

"But she actually proposed that this is an area with complex terrain, and she has not yet figured out the origin of this guerrilla, so she must not underestimate this force, at least the local garrison should use the strength of an infantry brigade to search, and dispatch an infantry brigade, this is to treat the imperial army as a rabble of water bandits, right?"

"The use of an army of this size requires the approval of the military headquarters, and if we really make this kind of suggestion to Commander Tsukada, I guess he still thinks our advisory department is crazy! The woman, after all, is still too bold, and she advises against taking action, fearing that there will be great danger. Keichi Sato said with a sneer.

To deal with a group of guerrillas, to use an infantry brigade of 1,100 people because of the complex terrain, it seems to him that it is simply incredible, what kind of ignorance do you have about the combat power of the imperial army?

This is also in line with her character, she is cautious in doing things, not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Of course, this is not a bad thing, and if you report this situation to the cedar agency, it will be said that Chiyo Hoshino has found a clue to the missing ship, but the environment is complicated, and troops need to be sent to search. ”

"If the Shanshan agency entrusts, our advisory department will contact the local garrison, which requires them to issue a certificate of entrustment, and we don't know when we can handle the problem ourselves, the nature of the advisory department restricts our play." Kanemi Miyamoto said.

"Remember, the message you sent to the advisory department is the best ironclad evidence, to the survivors of the battlefield, make your attitude clear, so that the advisory department wants to use you as a scapegoat, it is not so easy, Chiyo, the boss can think so much about you, don't you feel very happy?" An Zhanjiang said with a smile.

"I also hope that this time I can fulfill my long-cherished wish, you are right, the special high section of the gendarmerie and the intelligence section of the secret service are unable to undertake the mission of intelligence work, in order to realize our ideals, for the sake of the empire, let's work hard, Sato-kun!" Miyamoto's eyes were also full of longing.

The Jiujiang garrison agreed to use three speedboats and two patrol boats to carry the strength of a reinforced squadron to Yunju Mountain via the Xiuhe River tomorrow morning to conduct a search, and ordered her to meet near the river, observe the battlefield situation at any time, and report the progress and results of the search in a timely manner.

Like Keichi Sato, he is full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, but it is just some stragglers, even if it comes out of the regular army, or even a guerrilla force composed of three or four hundred regular troops, but the army of the Yamashiro government, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, how strong can it be? Giving a squadron is already high enough to look at this gang!

They all hated the functions of the advisory department, and they had to submit an application to the gendarmerie and the secret services before they could carry it out, and they had no initiative to do anything.

Two days later, Chiyo Hoshino, who was staying in a small town at the mouth of the river near Mt. Yunju and could enjoy the scenery from the window, received a telegram from the advisory department of the special high school.

However, the reason why Kenji Dohihara set up the advisory department of the special high school in the first place was also a last resort, because the power of the joint special high school division expanded too quickly, and it was resisted by the faction of the army's special service agency, and if this method was not used, the advisory department could not be established.

"The Japanese Army has never been able to change its arrogant character, and always feels that a squadron can beat down a regiment of the Yamashiro government and use it to search for bandits, which is a knife used to kill chickens. But you also have to inform your own people to pay attention, you can't underestimate the combat effectiveness of these 300 people, I don't want to see too big losses for your own people. Chiyo Hoshino said.

Last night she sent a telegram to the Yuzhang branch of the Shanzhi organ, and the people from the Yuzhang branch arrived here by boat this morning and waited. The reason why I did this was to prove to myself that I was acting with the people distributed by the cedar agency, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

"It's really a lucky thing to meet such a boss, and I haven't tasted happiness yet! Our boss is a very attractive man, I feel a little fascinated, however, I feel that the relationship between you and him is not so pure, and there are no other men around you. Chiyo Hoshino asked with a smile.

When he is idle, men talk about women, and women also talk about men, which is also a normal phenomenon, but Han Lin himself can't think of it.

"Now is a very good opportunity, we have been ordered to assist the 13th Army Headquarters in encircling and suppressing the guerrillas around the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, and as long as the operation achieves the expected goal, we will be able to win the appreciation of Lieutenant General Shimomura, and this is the first large-scale military operation he has planned and commanded since he took over as commander."

"But the boss considers the consequences of this operation, which is very serious for the advisory department, and you may be scapegoated, the boss ordered that this operation must not be wiped out, and leave the news alive to pass the news to the garrison of Jiujiang and to the headquarters of the Eleventh Army."

"We can ask him to apply to the military department to allow the advisory department to expand its authority, perhaps, the gendarmerie and the secret services will also have to accept our command, and we are the most professional in intelligence work, and General Dohihara will definitely support us." Keichi Sato said.

"It turns out that you have always coveted the boss, no wonder your eyes light up every time you meet! I didn't succeed either, find a chance another day, the two of us got him drunk together, I don't create a chance by myself, I'm afraid the opportunity will never come, and there are many beautiful women around the boss! An Yanjiang said.

"It doesn't matter, the guerrillas and special forces have more than a dozen mines, and if you set up a mine array, you can basically blow up or cripple the boats, only the motorboats and patrol boats come, which is very important, when the mine team places mines, it must be closer to the water,"

"The establishment of a squadron is one hundred and eighty people, even if it is a reinforced squadron, at most it is an additional infantry squad, counting more than two hundred and three people, counting three speedboats and two patrol boats, a total of less than three hundred troops, which may be equipped with a heavy machine gun squad."

"The advisory department really can't stand the stimulus and is deceived, this time I only ask the garrison to send a reinforced team, under the conditions of complex terrain, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, the geography of the Jiangnan region is many rivers and mountains, even if the strength of an infantry brigade, I dare not say that it is certain."

At nine o'clock the next morning, three motorboats and two patrol boats, loaded with Japanese troops, arrived at the entrance of the Yunju Mountain River, and saw Chiyo Hoshino standing on the boat waving, and a patrol boat approached.

"It doesn't matter if we dodge the mine array, we set up an ambush circle on the shore and found a narrow place, just with the firepower we are currently equipped, there is nothing to worry about, no matter how many Japanese troops come are live targets, once they fall into the water, then they have no combat effectiveness at all, only to be shot."

"I heard from the fishermen, from here to the west around two bends, there is a hidden small bay, the freighter may be hiding there, you must be careful when searching, the river here is curved, the line of sight is greatly obstructed, there are many places with water bandits secret sentinels, may bring a great threat, also, these water bandits used to be the regular army of the mountain city government, you can't look at them with the eyes of water bandits." Chiyo Hoshino shouted loudly.

"Rest assured, we will definitely kill all the bandits, snatch the freighter back, and wait for the news of our victory!" Nakasa, who led the team, said confidently.
