After the speech, Zhou Weiguo ate with the soldiers.
Two days later, the remnants of the 19th Army were mostly gathered. Zhu Shaoliang led his troops to Henan to rest, while Zhang Lingfu was sent to Xi'an to recuperate.
According to strategic estimates and the original historical trend, the Battle of Xuzhou was about to begin.
In the battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army launched attacks from the north and south respectively, with a total of 240,000 troops, forming a pincer attack on Xuzhou from the north and south.
Zhou Weiguo would definitely avoid a direct confrontation with the Japanese army and capture the other side's small forces to gradually eliminate them.
On the morning of the 19th, Zhou Weiguo led his men to the north with food and ammunition. That evening, they arrived at Lai 'an County, north of Chuzhou.
In the historical battle of Xuzhou, the 13th Division of the Japanese army first crossed the river and went north. In Dingyuan, Fengyang, and Bengbu, the 31st Army fought a bloody battle with the Japanese army. Later, Zhang Zizhong came to rescue and stabilized the situation.
Regiment 522's arrival in Lai 'an County attracted the attention of the local garrison. It was a regiment from the 31st division that was guarding the place. The regiment commander strictly ordered them not to enter the county.
Zhou Weiguo himself did not intend to defend a certain place. Instead, he wanted to carry out a mobile war and use the golden finger to destroy the Japanese invaders one by one. He led the army to build a wooden house on Gujia Mountain, which was a few kilometers away from the county town, as a temporary camp.
"Evade the enemy's main force, lure the enemy deep in, find favorable opportunities, create opportunities to annihilate the enemy, destroy the enemy while moving, gather superior forces, and destroy them one by one.”
On this day, Zhou Weiguo gathered all the officers above platoon leader level to conduct military training. Some people had a strong ability to accept, while others had a weak ability to accept.
" Regiment Commander," Ma Hao Yu asked," we only have a few hundred people. How can we gather the superior forces?"”
"Our team is not full yet," said Zhou Weiguo. Mobile warfare depended on the specific situation. If there were tens of thousands of people, they could concentrate on encircling and annihilating thousands of people. With a few hundred of us, we can also create an opportunity to encircle and annihilate dozens of devils.”
He had a golden finger on him, so he had to play his role as much as possible. However, the golden finger had to be implemented by him personally. It was impossible for him to participate in all the battles personally.
Everyone seemed to understand.
For the next few days, they conducted military training during the day. At night, Zhou Weiguo trained the officers. The content of the training was not only mobile warfare, but also a lot of military theoretical knowledge, including understanding the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, how to observe the enemy's situation, how to find the enemy's weaknesses, loopholes, how to find opportunities, and so on.
Among the twenty-odd officers, Shao Yizhi's ability to accept things was the strongest because his ability was not bad. Next were Fang Shengli and Second Company Commander Jiang Jinru.
At the same time, Zhou Weiguo ordered the scouts to keep a close eye on the surroundings. The Li Wei Army would not be out for too long.
Xiao Ya was a teacher, but she had no students to teach at the moment. Sometimes, she would help out with some logistics work.
December 30th was the coldest day of the year. Snow was falling like goose feathers.
On this day, the entire regiment had a day off.
Xiao Ya made Zhou Weiguo's favorite dish.
Zhou Weiguo picked it up and started eating. He nodded and said,"The taste is not bad. Other than my mother, you know my taste the best.”
"Weiguo, you're busy day and night. Eat more to nourish your body," said Xiao Ya.”
Seeing him eat happily, Xiao Ya was happy. The young couple ate with relish.
After eating, Zhou Weiguo said solemnly,""Xiao Ya, things have stabilized for now. Before the Wei army attacks, let's have our wedding. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day. I think the day after tomorrow will be very suitable. The entire group of more than seven hundred people will be the witnesses and we will get married.”
Xiao Ya nodded in agreement.
The next day, the entire regiment was filled with joy as they prepared for their commander's wedding. Some of the soldiers went into the mountains to hunt and cook with the prey. Some went to the county town to buy brides and bridegrooms 'clothes, firecrackers, and so on.
Ever since the founding of the Republic of China, the Chinese calendar was a combination of the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar. January 1st of the Gregorian calendar was New Year's Day, which was also one of the festivals.
On this day, a couplet had been pasted at the door of the 522nd Regiment's commander's residence, and the red word "happy" had been pasted inside the house.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Yizhi, the officiator of the wedding, shouted," First bow to heaven and earth…Second bow to the high hall…" Husband and wife bow to each other."
Zhou Weiguo and Xiao Ya both bowed. During the ceremony, a wooden figurine was used to represent his father, with his name carved on it.
After three bows, other than a few people who were standing guard, everyone else ate and drank to their heart's content. Zhou Weiguo was completely drunk.
The next morning, when Zhou Weiguo woke up, Xiao Ya was still sleeping soundly.
"Knock, knock, knock…"
Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it!"
"Regiment commander, there's an emergency. The Japanese have crossed the river.”
