The chairman was listening slowly while He Jingzhi was reading the telegram. Zhou Weiguo was really good this time. The Generalissimo personally listened to the telegram while He Jingzhi, the military and political minister, read it.
"Have you checked these people? Who are they?"
The chairman sat on the sofa and looked out the window.
"We've investigated them all. Other than Sun Liren, who studied in the United States, the other two graduated from Huangpu Military Academy, and these three are quite capable among the middle and lower ranks. In addition, these people had participated in the Battle of Shanghai or the Battle of Nanjing. I think Zhou Weiguo found out about them at this time. After all, Zhou Weiguo had participated in the Battle of Shanghai and the Battle of Nanjing.”
He Jingzhi looked at the chairman and said seriously.
"Jingzhi, you're overthinking. As for Zhou Weiguo, I wouldn't suspect that he's related to the one in the northwest. He's an elite nurtured by our party and country. I just want to know what he wants to do. However, judging from the situation, his first target was the students who graduated from Huangpu Military Academy! This was a good thing, as he had inherited the will of the former prime minister. Give it all to him, give it all to him. Now that he was raising a flag in Huainan to gather the defeated soldiers, he must be lacking officers.”
The chairman waved his hand. They were all his students, so he had nothing to suspect.
"Chairman, this isn't the only person he wants. In addition, he also wants to transfer Sun Xinpu, a major battalion commander of the 87th Junior 506th Regiment of the 9th Army, and many other officers to him. These people were already with him. He hoped that the military and political department could transfer them to him in writing! In addition, Zhou Weiguo also sent a telegram asking us to transfer a batch of elite students who graduated from the Central Military Academy's artillery department to him.”
He Jingzhi said again. This time, the chairman was a little unsettled.
"What is Zhou Weiguo trying to do? Could it be that he wanted to capture all the outstanding students who graduated from the Central Military Academy?”
The chairman was a little unhappy, but he was not angry. He was lacking outstanding officers, and Zhou Weiguo wanted so many of them. Moreover, he wanted outstanding cadets.
"Your Excellency! Zhou Weiguo's situation was not too good either. He probably didn't care about graduates from other places. Commissioner, you know that Zhou Weiguo is a member of the party. He comes from a prestigious family and graduated from the Central Military Academy. He also studied in Germany, so his standards are inevitably a little high!”
Of course, He Jingzhi knew what the chairman meant.
When the chairman heard He Yingqin's words, his expression softened a little before he said,""En! Give him all these talents, but send him a message to tell him that it's only this once and that it won't happen again. The party and the country also lacked outstanding officers. He wanted him to treat everyone equally and not have the concept of a sect!”
If Zhou Weiguo knew what the chairman was thinking, he would probably be shocked. Since when did he have a sense of belonging?
However, he was currently lacking in talent. After thinking about it, the chairman did have one!
Then go ask for it! At the same time, he also brought over artillery talents.
Zhou Weiguo had taught at the Central Military Academy before. He knew that the artillery department of the Central Military Academy had to learn heavy artillery theory and knowledge. These were the talents he needed! Since the chairman didn't have any heavy artillery, he might as well give it to himself.
"Right! Zhou Weiguo also sent us a list of his plans to fight against the Japanese army. He also hopes that we can provide him with more soldiers.”
He Jingzhi recalled the telegram Zhou Weiguo sent him and couldn't help but say.
"Oh? Let me see!"
He took the telegram from He Jingzhi and read it.
The chairman was also a student who had returned from Japan. He knew these things very well. He understood it when he saw Zhou Weiguo's establishment.
"This Zhou Weiguo is not bad. He's very smart. His establishment should have been prepared to fight against the Japanese army!”
The telegram that Zhou Weiguo sent to the chairman was a complete list of personnel, and there was no mention of carrying weapons.
"Yes, I am! I've also seen it. One of his battalions is equivalent to a brigade of the Japanese army, and one regiment is equivalent to a regiment of the Japanese army. This was a standard set of instructions for combat!”
He Jingzhi said in agreement. In fact, this establishment was designated by Zhou Weiguo to fight against the Japanese.
"En! Sure, as for the problem of the soldiers, he would ask the 5th Battle Area to transfer them to him. He's too far away from us now. We can't replenish him!”
"Yes, sir! Please take a seat!"
.................
Xuzhou, the commander's headquarters of the Fifth Battle Area.
"This Old Jiang actually set his sights on me! He wants me to send 13,000 troops for Zhou Weiguo to use!”
Li Delin threw the telegram from the battalion on the table with a displeased look on his face. Standing next to him was Chief of Staff Wang Hongshao.
"Delin, should we give it to him? Old Jiang is obviously asking us to give our elite troops to his direct troops! This Zhou Weiguo was in the limelight. The 1st Independent Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army was under the direct jurisdiction of Old Jiang. This treatment was not even available to the 87th and 88th Divisions.”
Wang Hongshao said mockingly. It was obvious that Zhou Weiguo had been given the Central Army's Direct Line nameplate.
"Give it to him! Now, the Japanese army had five divisions and two squadrons that were equivalent to exploration regiments. Nearly 200,000 Japanese soldiers were approaching him, ready to take back the flag in his hands. I heard that he only has a few thousand people now. In order to fight the Japanese, even if you give him another division, I, Li Delin, am willing!”
In the early stages of the war, the entire Huaxia Country showed a scene of unity in the war. Li Delin did not watch Zhou Weiguo die in battle just because they were from different factions. He also knew that Zhou Weiguo had attracted the attention of the Japanese in Huainan, which helped him solve the problem in the south.
Now, the Japanese were actively preparing to launch a big battle in order to open up the Jinpu railway line.
If history was not wrong, the Battle of Xuzhou in history would break out in half a month. If this four-month battle broke out, Li Delin would have a lot of things to do.
If Zhou Weiguo could stop the Japanese in Huainan, it would solve this big problem for him.
There was a reason why the Huai River Battle broke out in Huainan, and Zhou Weiguo also took a fancy to this place.
...............
On December 22, 1937, the Japanese's vanguard, the 9th Division, had arrived outside Changfeng County.
"These troops, are the troops ready? He ordered the troops to rest for a day and then attack immediately! Take back the Empire's flag!"
The 9th division's major general Yoshizumi said coldly as he observed the formation with a telescope.
