"First Regiment of the 87th Division of the 9th Army? Who was their leader? Have you checked the information?"
The chairman who was drinking water paused for a moment after hearing He Jingzhi's words, and then said softly. In his heart, he did not believe such a battle report. This was because since the start of the war, the national army had always fought against the Japanese army with numbers, but the result was that they lost more than they won.
Now, there was a plain telegram saying that he had defeated an elite Japanese regiment with a regiment's strength. He also destroyed their regiment headquarters and seized a regiment flag. He did not quite believe it.
"When I came, I already went to the military and political department to check. The regiment commander of the 87th Division of the 9th Army was called Zhou Weiguo. He was a graduate of the ninth batch of our Central Military Academy. Back then, the Central Military Academy and the Teaching Corps had a combat exercise. This Zhou Weiguo was the vice-captain. He kidnapped the captain and led his men to the Blue Army's command center. He took down the Blue Army's command center in one fell swoop and won the show.
He was appreciated by the head of the German military adviser group, General Vonrath. Later, we sent the first batch of students to study in Germany. General Vonrath instructed him to study at the Berlin Army Academy.
In the process of studying in Germany, he was appreciated by the German military instructor as the first student in the first batch of foreign students. In July of this year, the War of Resistance broke out, and he was called back by the military government. After returning to China, he became the major battalion commander of the 522nd Regiment of the 87th Division. Later, he was promoted to the acting commander of the 522nd Regiment by General Zhang Zhizhong due to his meritorious service in the Battle of Songhu.
After our army lost the battle in Shanghai, his 522nd regiment was wiped out, and his remaining troops were reorganized into the rear guard battalion to cover the retreat of the entire army. After retreating to Nanjing, the military government reorganized him as the commander of the 87th Division, adding three infantry battalions to defend against the Japanese attack at Qixia Mountain.
We haven't heard from him since Nanking fell.”
He Jingzhi took out a set of materials and slowly explained it to the chairman, who was slowly listening.
"Zhou Weiguo? Zhou Weiguo?"
The chairman slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. He seemed to have some impression of this person, but he had forgotten who he was.
"Who is this Zhou Weiguo?"
Suddenly, the chairman looked up at He Jingzhi and asked.
"He is the biological son of Mr. Zhou Jixian and the only son of the Zhou family. At the same time, he was also the son-in-law of the Xiao family in Beiping. His Taishan was also the elder of the party and the country, Xiao Jianru.”
Before He Jingzhi reported the news to the chairman, he had already found out all the information about Zhou Weiguo.
"Zhou Jixian? Xiao Jianru? Does that mean that he has been in our party since he was young? Was he the Zhou Wen who had ruined the peace talks back then?”
The chairman remembered. He remembered this person. Back when Zhang Zhizhong was the headmaster, he had reported to him that the student with the highest overall score in the ninth cohort of the Central Military Academy was Zhou Weiguo, a descendant of the party and country's elder family!
"Yes, I am! Back then, Zhou Jixian and Xiao Jianru were ordered by the former Prime Minister to assassinate a Prince of the previous dynasty. They became sworn brothers there, and it was also there that the Zhou and Xiao families made their sons brothers. The man and woman became husband and wife. This matter became a good story within the party and the country. The elders of the party and the country knew about this!”
Of course, He Jingzhi knew about this. He was also very clear in his heart. Zhou Weiguo was a young master from a veteran family in the party and had graduated from the Central Military Academy. As long as they were talented, they would be valued by the chairman.
Moreover, due to their family background, although these people did not have any foundation in the party, they were actually backed by a group of prestigious elders. However, this kind of person was also the most trusted.
"I see! However, regarding the matter of them defeating the Japanese elite regiment, killing the Japanese regiment commander, and seizing the regiment flag, go down and do an investigation. The sooner the better. If this is true, tell me as soon as possible!”
"Yes, sir! Please take a seat!"
He Jingzhi went down, but his heart was as clear as a mirror. This kind of thing was most likely true. It was because it mentioned that they had seized a regiment flag. At that time, he would be able to know if it was true or not after he handed over the alliance flag. Therefore, this kind of battle report with clear results was basically true.
.........
He Yingqin went down to investigate, and the chairman also asked Dai Yunong to investigate. In less than half a day, they received confirmation.
First, Dai Yunong's Military Investigation Bureau sent people from the underground station near Chuzhou to take a look. There was indeed a big battle there, and the Japanese were still collecting the bodies of their people.
Second, the Japanese army had a division that was marching north. It seemed like they were chasing something. They were chasing people and asking them if a Chinese army had passed by last night.
Third, this matter had spread throughout Chuzhou. A Chinese army unit had a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the direction of Wuji Village last night. They defeated an elite Japanese army unit and then left.
...............
"Very good! As expected of the elites of our Party and Country, as expected of my student!”
A smile appeared on the chairman's face, a sincere smile.
When He Jingzhi saw the smile on the chairman's face, he knew that Zhou Weiguo had caught the chairman's eye. If Zhou Weiguo won two more victories, he would be promoted very soon.
"Jingzhi, immediately send a commendation telegram to Zhou Weiguo with my order. At the same time, cancel the establishment of Zhou Weiguo's 9th Army 87th Division 1st Regiment. Change the 87th Division 1st Regiment to the National Revolutionary Army's 1st Independent Brigade. Zhou Weiguo will be the Major General and the 1st Independent Brigade will be a strengthened brigade. In addition, the monthly military expenditure of the 1st Independent Brigade was set at 300,000 yuan, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Let Zhou Weiguo draft a list of company commanders and report it to the military and political department.”
The chairman's words shocked He Jingzhi, but at the same time, he understood. The chairman thought highly of Zhou Weiguo. In fact, this was very simple. Zhou Weiguo was the son of the party's founding father, and he was born into a noble family. He graduated from the Central Military Academy, was from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, was from Jiangnan, and was from the 87th Division. He was from the direct line of descent, and he was also a talented student who had studied in Germany. He was also capable and had military achievements. This series of conditions could be said to completely meet the chairman's employment standards. He believed that among so many generals, there were not many people whose background could compare to Zhou Weiguo's. Otherwise, when did you see the chairman personally arrange the troops for an independent brigade? Usually, they would follow the prescribed standards, but Zhou Weiguo was an exception.
However, He Jingzhi was troubled by the chairman's order.
"Your Excellency! Zhou Weiguo is currently in the Lianghuai area. There is no longer a Chinese central army there. It is all the Japanese army there. Our weapons, equipment, and personnel can't be transported in. I'm afraid I can't equip him with heavy weapons!”
"Hmm? That's right! Then change his organization to five infantry regiments. As for the weapons and equipment, let our people transport the weapons and ammunition to the fifth battle area and let him receive them there.”
The chairman paused for a moment before adding,""Let our people hand it over to him personally!”
He Jingzhi's eyes lit up. It seemed that Zhou Weiguo had really caught the chairman's eye. Five infantry regiments, this was an incredible force. Many infantry divisions didn't even have five infantry regiments. Three infantry regiments was already quite impressive. His brigade was almost equivalent to two divisions of others.
The last part of the sentence was that the chairman had personally handed it to him. To put it bluntly, it was because he did not trust the 5th Battle Area, because most of the people in the 5th Battle Area were from the Gui Faction. The chairman was afraid that these people would switch weapons with Zhou Weiguo!
Thinking of this, He Jingzhi couldn't help but think," Zhou Weiguo, Zhou Weiguo! The chairman values you so much. If you don't win a few battles, you'll be letting him down!
