When Xu Hu heard Zhou Weiguo's words, he chuckled and said,""Master, you're right. Didn't we capture some Japanese translator a few days ago? I specifically asked around, and it was said that the Japanese had a division that was going to pass through Laiyang. It seemed like they were going to reinforce the Henan area. These supplies were reserved for the Japanese army.
It's just a pity that these things are now ours. As for why the Japanese army didn't put them in Tsingtao, I really don't know.”
Zhou Weiguo nodded. Just as he was about to take a look at the grain warehouse next to him, he suddenly remembered. He also wanted to understand why the Japanese army did not place these supplies in Tsingtao but in Laiyang.
Because the Japanese Navy was stationed in Tsingtao, the regiment stationed there was the Japanese Navy's Marine Corps.
We all know that the navy and the army of Japan have always been at odds with each other.
These supplies belonged to the Japanese army, so how could they be in Qing Dao? Moreover, the navy would not allow the army's supplies to be stored in their own warehouses!
Therefore, he could only place it in the Laiyang warehouse, which was very close to Qing Dao. At the same time, Zhou Weiguo also understood why there was a Japanese brigade stationed at the port of Wang Taishan and why there was a local garrison in Laiyang.
Laiyang was a transit station for the Japanese army.
Otherwise, do you think there's a need to put an exploration team in a county?
Look at Laixi County, west of Laiyang. How many Japanese troops do they have? There was only one brigade of the Japanese army, but there was actually a brigade of the Japanese army in Laiyang County. Wasn't this strange? If it was not important, why would the Japanese army put so many troops here after eating too much?
Zhou Weiguo, who understood the problem, smiled and walked to the grain warehouse beside him with Xu Hu and Zhu Ziming.
"Master, look, this warehouse is the Japanese army's grain warehouse. We have already calculated that the food here is enough for our current troops to eat for half a year. In other words, we won't have to worry about food for half a year. In addition, there was a large number of canned food inside. As for how many cans there were, we only counted how many boxes there were. There were a total of three thousand boxes of canned food. This amount is enough for us to eat for a long time.”
Xu Hu chuckled after he finished speaking. Although the canned food was a mix of beef, fish, and other miscellaneous grains, there was still some oil.
When Zhou Weiguo heard this, his lips couldn't help but twitch. He turned to look at Zhu Ziming and said,""Brother, we have trouble."
Zhu Ziming asked in confusion,"Brother, what trouble is there? Shouldn't we be happy that we've seized so many things?”
"Think about it, from clothing to food to ammunition, this should be the reserves of a Japanese division. Moreover, Xu Hu had already said that a Japanese army division would pass by here in a while to collect these supplies and go to Henan. It was not difficult to see that this should be a division of Japanese reinforcements from China.
They were probably in a hurry, so they did not bring any supplies with them. Instead, they had prepared supplies here in advance. Therefore, I dare to conclude that this Japanese army division does not have much logistics and supplies. Moreover, there was a port in Wang Tai Mountain of Laiyang County. In addition to the conflict between the Japanese navy and the Japanese army, this Japanese division would directly land at the port of Wang Taishan.
After landing there, we will head straight for Laiyang. In other words, we will have to wait for a while before we will face the attack of a Japanese division.”
Zhou Weiguo felt a headache coming on. An entire division of Japanese soldiers! He didn't expect that a Japanese division would land here after a while.
It was no wonder that the Japanese army in the surrounding counties had not made any movements after he had taken down Laiyang for a few days. He had also not heard of any Japanese army from other places coming here. The Japanese army had been waiting for some division of the Japanese army to deal with him.
After returning to his division headquarters from the material warehouse, Zhou Weiguo began to plan how to deal with the incoming Japanese division.
Zhou Weiguo's 78th division headquarters was the former Japanese army's Laiyang garrison headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo's promotion order was also sent by the Chongqing government via telegram a few days ago.
Now, he was already a major general of the national army. The 78th Division was the combat name of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
Old Jiang had given him the 78th Division's serial number, which meant that he regarded Zhou Weiguo as a trusted subordinate of the Direct Line. In fact, Zhou Weiguo was originally Old Jiang's trusted subordinate. After all, the 87th Division was a German Machinist expanded from Old Jiang's guard force. It was known as the Direct Line of the Direct Line.
As a direct descendant of the central government, the division commander would usually give Yu the military rank of Lieutenant General. However, due to Zhou Weiguo's age and the fact that although the glory of restoring the first city was great, his military achievements were not enough, so Old Jiang gave him the military rank of Major General.
·······
After returning to his division headquarters, Zhou Weiguo immediately held a military meeting.
Both sides of the long conference table were filled with the current higher-ups of the 78th Division. However, because Zhou Weiguo had been busy with things these past few days, he had never cared about the issue of his own rank, so they were all battalion commanders.
Zhou Weiguo's sharp gaze swept across everyone present. Then, he looked at them and said,"I have three things to discuss today.
First, we are no longer a regimental unit. The Chongqing government not only recognized us, but also gave us the name of an infantry division. Now that I am the major general of the 78th Division, you should be promoted according to your battle achievements.”
Zhou Weiguo's words were telling everyone below that they were all soldiers who had been recognized by the Chongqing government. From today onwards, they were real generals of the national army and people who were listed in the Ministry of Military Affairs. At the same time, he was also telling them that if they ate meat, they would also eat meat with him. He would not forget about them when he got promoted and became rich.
Therefore, all of the guys below were beaming with joy. At the same time, the bandits below all understood that it was all thanks to this person that they were able to use their skills today.
From a bandit to a general of the national army, and a general of the direct line of command, if not for Zhou Weiguo, they would never have such treatment in their lives. Although these bandits used to rob and rob, most of them paid attention to righteousness. Zhou Weiguo had brought them to this step, so they were naturally loyal to him.
"Alright! Don't be happy. Now, I'll announce your appointments!”
When Zhou Weiguo saw them laughing, he could not help but smile.
