"Commander-in-chief, I'm willing to lead the army to kill the devils again," said Zhou Weiguo.”
He couldn't directly say that he needed to quickly replenish his troops, but without soldiers, it was impossible to lead the army to kill the enemy. Of course, Zhu Shaoliang knew what he meant.
"Zhou Weiguo, you're a proud son of the army. Your future is immeasurable. When General Zhang handed over to me, he specially instructed me to help you." However, from the Battle of Songhu to the defense of Nanjing, all our troops suffered heavy losses. At present, there are no soldiers to replenish. The committee member said that our group army would first go to Henan to rest and reorganize. At that time, the military and political department would fill the posts and train the soldiers to fight again.”
Zhou Weiguo did not want to wait a few more months. "Commander-in-chief, as long as you give me a battalion of troops and let me stay in the area of Anhui to move around flexibly and look for fighter planes, I'll be able to find a way out." If he didn't kill more than 1,000 Japanese within half a year, he was willing to be punished by military law.”
Leading an army to act independently and freely was what he wanted to see the most.
Zhu Shaoliang sighed and said,""You have the ability, but you're too impatient.”
"I beg the commander-in-chief to give me this opportunity," said Zhou Weiguo.”
Zhu Shaoliang was thinking about it. If Zhou Weiguo didn't have a strong background and ability, he would have refuted him immediately.
After a while, Zhu Shaoliang said,""How about this, our troops have been crippled. I'll hand over many of them to you and let you reorganize them.”
Zhou Weiguo said," Thank you, Commander-in-chief. Can I name someone? It's Shao Yizhi, the lieutenant colonel of the Third Artillery Battalion of the Central Army Armored Corps."”
Zhu Shaoliang said," Alright, I'll satisfy your request. Men, bring Shao Yizhi in."”
Shao Yizhi entered the headquarters and saluted.
"Shao Yizhi, I order you to merge the remaining soldiers into the 522nd Regiment. You will be promoted to the deputy commander of the 522nd Regiment.”
Shao Yizhi was stunned for two to three seconds before he said,""Thank you for your promotion, Commander-in-chief.”
Zhu Shaoliang said to Zhou Weiguo,"Zhou Weiguo, in two days, I will allocate a battalion of troops to you so that you have the right to act flexibly in the area of Anhui." If you can't fulfill your promise within half a year, no one will be able to protect you.”
"Commander-in-chief, what if I destroy a thousand devils?" Zhou Weiguo asked. What if he killed 2,000, 3,000, or even 5,000 devils?”
Zhu Shaoliang said,"If you can eliminate a thousand Japanese within half a year, I will fill up the establishment of a regiment for you." If you kill 2,000, I'll give you a stronger regiment. If you destroy more than 5,000 soldiers, you will be promoted to major general.”
It was easier said than done for a mere battalion to wipe out a large number of soldiers in half a year. Zhu Shaoliang did not believe that Zhou Weiguo could do it, but since he said this, there was no harm in writing this check first. If he really did it, he should be promoted according to his military merits.
" Commander-in-chief, I swear that I will definitely achieve the standard of being promoted to a division commander within half a year," said Zhou Weiguo.”
Zhu Shaoliang smiled." Good, you have ambition. I'll wait and see."”
He thought that Zhou Weiguo was bragging, and Shao Yizhi, who was beside him, also thought that he was bragging. The Japanese army was much stronger than the Chinese army. How could they be so easy to defeat?
As for Zhou Weiguo, he was full of confidence. As long as he led the army to battle, it would not be difficult for him to make contributions with his golden finger.
After Zhou Weiguo and Shao Yizhi came out, their subordinates were waiting outside.
Zhou Weiguo pointed at Shao Yizhi and said,""He was given to me by the commander-in-chief. From now on, he is still the deputy commander of this regiment and your immediate superior.”
Fang Shengli saluted Shao Yizhi and said,""1st Battalion Commander Fang Shengli greets Vice Regiment Commander.”
