"Your Excellency! We've given them so many people, so it shouldn't be a big problem. However, according to Zhou Weiguo's personality, he's probably going to ask you for an officer again!”
He Jingzhi tactfully told the chairman that he still had to prepare the officers. It didn't matter to the other troops, but this Zhou Weiguo came from a prestigious family. He didn't care about other officers. He probably had his eyes on the officers from the Central Military Academy again.
As expected, the chairman's mouth twitched when he heard He Jingzhi's words. The other non-central military forces wished that they did not have a central military force in their troops. Zhou Weiguo's troops asked him for an officer from the Central Military Academy. However, this was also one of the reasons why the chairman did not suspect Zhou Weiguo.
But now, the Central Military Academy only had a few hundred cadets in a semester. From 1928 until now, they had only recruited eight batches of cadets, a few thousand people.
It did sound like a lot. The previous episodes had already started to rise. It was impossible for them to be transferred to Zhou Weiguo. Among the students from the later batches, only the eighth and ninth batches could be transferred to Zhou Weiguo as the regiment commander. The tenth episode had only been released from the military academy for a short period of time, so his ability was still not enough. Most of the students from the eleventh batch were still company commanders. He couldn't command a regiment of about 3,800 people. The twelfth episode was even more impossible. The thirteenth episode was still in the military academy.
In other words, only the students from the eighth and ninth batches could be given to Zhou Weiguo. The problem was that there were only about a thousand students in the two batches, and they had to be scattered among so many national troops. This number was very small.
"Pass on my order to Zhou Weiguo. As for the candidate for the regiment commander, get Zhou Weiguo to draw up a name list himself!”
After a while, the chairman decided to let Zhou Weiguo solve this problem himself.
"Good! I'll immediately pass on the news.
.
On December 27th, 1937, a piece of news spread out from every major city in the Kuomintang-controlled area.
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers! The Independent First Brigade of the National Revolutionary Army made another new contribution. On the morning of the 26th yesterday, they annihilated the 13th Division of the Japanese Army in Huainan and killed the commander of the 13th Division, Lieutenant General Di Zhou Li Bing!”
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! General Zhou Weiguo had made a new contribution and became the first person to wipe out the Japanese army since the beginning of the war!”
"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! General Zhou Weiguo, the famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, once again won the first place in the War of Resistance. He wiped out the Japanese army's reorganization division for the first time!”
........
The first time Zhou Weiguo seized the flag of the alliance, the fact that the weak defeated the strong, and the news of the direct defeat of the Japanese army could spread throughout the country was the result of the promotion of the chairman and some elders of the Congress Party. This time, no one promoted it.
In one battle, they wiped out about 28,000 Japanese soldiers, ate the Japanese army's reorganization division, and killed the Japanese lieutenant general.
This record was enough to cause the entire country to boil over. Zhou Weiguo was also given the title of a famous general.
The paperboy's voice resounded throughout the cities under the control of the Chinese government, such as the cities of Chengdu, Changsha, Xuzhou, Guangzhou, and Chongqing. The name Zhou Weiguo had truly entered the hearts of the people.
From then on, everyone knew that there was a famous anti-Japanese general who was able to take down a Japanese army division under the siege of two Japanese army divisions.
At the same time, Zhou Weiguo's name began to resound throughout China.
The Chinese knew that there was a person who could wipe out the entire Japanese army, and the Japanese army hated Zhou Weiguo to the core.

Shanghai, Shanghai Dispatched Army Command
"Eight ~ Caw ~"
"Bang ~"
Ishihara Matsui smashed a large porcelain in his headquarters with one slash, then he slashed the table with the other. His face was filled with anger.
This time, not only did he not get the flag back, but he also ate the 13th Regiment. And it was eaten by the 9th division during the battle against the alliance. This was simply a slap in the face.
Standing in front of him was the head of the Japanese Special Higher Police in Shanghai.
"Commander, we have received news that Zhou Weiguo has handed over the flag to the Chinese government. They will publish it in the newspapers on New Year's Day!”
This person only revealed this news after seeing Ishihara Matsui's anger dissipate.
"Already handed over to the National Government? Bastard!"
Ishihara Matsui understood that if he handed this thing over to the National Government, it would not be easy to get it back.
"You may leave!"
"Ha ~ Yi ~"
After he left, Matsui Ishihara immediately held a new round of military meetings in his headquarters.
"Gentlemen! I've already received news that Zhou Weiguo has already handed over the flag to the Chinese government. Right now, we have already lost the basic meaning of mobilizing most of our forces to besiege Huainan. Right now, the Chinese government was mobilizing a large number of troops to the cities of Wu Han and Xu Zhou.
Right now, our forces on both sides of the Yangtze River are extremely scarce. China's Wuhans might take advantage of the fact that our forces are concentrated in Lianghuai to attack the areas around Nanjing.
For our next operation plan, as well as the opening of the Jinpu railway line for the battle, all troops will act according to the original plan. In addition, the 9th division would head north and cross the Huai River to prepare to fight with the 5th Battle Area. The 101st division would head to Huainan and confront Zhou Weiguo. After the empire opened the Jinpu railway, they would deal with Zhou Weiguo!”
Although Matsui Ishihara hated Zhou Weiguo to death and wished he could eat his flesh. However, he knew that he had to put the big picture first. Furthermore, opening up the Jinpu railway line was the main point.
Otherwise, they would have to rely on domestic supplies for their logistics. Transport by ship. If the Jinpu railway line was opened, the logistics supplies outside the pass could be continuously transported through the railway.
.....
Matsui wanted to transfer the 9th division away, but would Zhou Weiguo let him?
The 9th division was powerful and was an important division of the Japanese army. However, Zhou Weiguo had already eaten up a lot of their forces. Furthermore, if the 9th division successfully crossed the Huai River and landed north of the Huai River, he would be in danger.
Thus, Zhou Weiguo was prepared to keep the 9th division here and wait until they were replenished before taking them down. Of course, it was not yet time. If the 9th division wanted to retreat, it would take time. It wasn't like he could retreat within an hour. That was unrealistic.
Huainan, Independent 1st Brigade Headquarters
"Weiguo, the commissioner sent another telegram. I will bestow you with the Zhongzheng Sword. In addition, our organization will be expanded to ten regiments. We will prioritize replenishing our personnel and equipment! This time, our soldiers will be dispatched from the rear. They were already on their way. In addition, the military uniforms were also on their way. They would arrive in two days!”
He Yuchen said loudly as she rushed into Zhou Weiguo's command center with a telegram in her hand.
