"The Japanese are so fast!"
"Yes, if it wasn't for Officer Zhou asking us to retreat, we would have been dead already.”
"No wonder Battalion Commander told us to follow Officer Zhou. This battle is awesome!”
The soldiers hiding in the surrounding buildings gasped and rejoiced when they heard the sound of the artillery not far away.
If he had only focused on collecting ammunition, he would have been caught by the Japanese bomber.
Wang Mazi was listening in. He said with a beaming face,"Of course. Our company commander is a top student from Huangpu who studied abroad. Even Third Old Man De is very convinced!”
"What? Which Third German?"
"Really? Then quickly tell us about it!"
"Yes, Deputy Wang. Tell me about it ~"
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious."
Wang Mazi calmly took out a pack of Marlboros."Let me smoke a cigarette to calm myself down!”
…………
After more than ten minutes, the explosions gradually stopped, leaving only flames and thick smoke in the distance.
Because of the failure of this pursuit, the Japanese became more cautious and did not attack again.
Zhou Weiguo took out the exploded canned beef and ordered the cooks to cook. However, they had to use pipes to guide the smoke into the closed houses to avoid being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.
After eating stewed beef with potatoes, Huang Jianfei and Wang Weiguo each drove a car to the headquarters of the 36th and 87th divisions respectively to report the results of the battle and request for reinforcements.
"Zhou Weiguo? This junior's reputation was quite resounding.”
The commander of the 36th Division, Song Xilian, was very surprised after reading the battle report. He sighed and said,"First place in the Huangpu Ninth Infantry Division, trained at the Berlin Military Academy, and convinced Instructor De San. Tsk tsk, you are indeed a fierce general!”
"Nowadays, there aren't many youngsters who can lead troops like him. As a senior, I must support this little brother!”
After some thought, Song Xilian made the decision." Shaofu, go and replenish the regiment. Take out a company of new recruits, two mortars, two heavy machine guns, and three base ammo. Send them to Zhou Weiguo personally for me!"”
"Master, a company…Isn't it a little..."
"Carry out the order!"
"Yes, sir!"
A major staff officer stood at attention and saluted, then left with a pained expression.
The Replenish Regiment had nine to twelve companies of recruits under its jurisdiction. They were trained during normal times, and during wartime, they were supplemented to each regiment and battalion by platoons. It was the most elite of the Central Military Army's German Mechanic Reorganization Division.
It was supposed to be a supplementary brigade, but in September 1933, the supplementary brigades of the 87th and 88th divisions merged to form the 36th division.
Since then, the reserve soldiers of the three divisions had not been fully recruited, and the organizational structure was too bloated. They simply downsized into regiments and declared them as brigades, but the brigade commander only had the rank of colonel.
They were all new recruits, but the soldiers of the replenishment regiment were well-trained and disciplined. Most of them were literate, and although their combat strength was not as good as the elite soldiers that the system had given out, they were much stronger than the strong men that the local mixed army had pulled over.
The situation at the 87th Division was similar.
When the war chariot company arrived, Regiment Commander Wang Jingjiu had inspected the war chariot unit with the Commander-in-Chief of the group army, Zhang Zhizhong. He was very appreciative of Zhou Weiguo and Sun Xinpu.
With a wave of his hand, he also gave a company of recruits and a machine gun platoon equipped with three Type 24 heavy machine guns.
This was almost the same treatment as his own son.
"National Army 36th Division Major Staff Officer Sun Shaofu greets Battalion Commander Zhou!”
In the afternoon, Huang Jianfei and Wang Mazi brought back reinforcements.
There was also a major accompanying him. He looked handsome, smart, and valiant.
Pa!
Zhou Weiguo also stood up and returned the greeting. He smiled and said,"Brother Shaofu, I'm still the major of the armored regiment's 1st battalion. I don't dare to be called battalion commander.”
"This... It was my negligence."
"However, Brother Wei Guo, the reputation of your Tank Company and First Battalion has already spread throughout the Songhu battlefield. You killed the most enemies, seized the most, and suffered the least losses.”
"With such merit points, I'm afraid he'll be promoted in a few days.”
Because of Song Xilian's care, Sun Shaofu was much more polite to Zhou Weiguo, and his words were filled with envy.
After all, he was an expert and was good at judging the situation.
Zhou Weiguo only sent out two of his subordinates, and they received special supplies from the 36th and 87th divisions.
What did this mean?
The two division commanders were expressing their goodwill to him, hoping to recruit this elite troop that was good at fighting!
As long as Zhou Weiguo did not die on the Songhu battlefield, the day he was rewarded would be the day he soared into the sky!
"That's the matter of the higher-ups. We just need to fight the Japanese.”
Zhou Weiguo chuckled.
He looked at Sun Shaofu from head to toe. Seeing that he was swift and decisive in his actions and had a nimble mind, the more he looked at him, the more he admired him.
After further discussion, this guy was actually Huangpu Eighth Stage, his senior!
"Brother Shaofu." He suddenly said,""Since you are already here, there is no need to return. I am still lacking a Battalion Deputy. You see…"
" Huh???"
Sun Shaofu was stunned, and his eyeballs almost popped out. He thought to himself, This guy is really a tiger general. He even dares to poach the senior adviser of the division. He's a tiger in war, and he's even more ferocious in his actions…
"Look."
Zhou Weiguo was as thick-skinned as a city wall. He pulled Sun Shaofu to sit down and began to criticize,""Our first battalion…Err, don't mind me, this unit is mostly from the 522nd Regiment's 1st Battalion. I'm used to calling them that.”
"I'm fine." Sun Shaofu's mouth twitched.
"Company commander! Great news! This is a joyous occasion!"
Just as Zhou Weiguo was about to continue acting as Grandmother Wolf, Wang Mazi's loud shout came from outside the door.
