Chapter 1013 Transfer of Command
Boss Du's bodyguard explained everything that happened outside to Zhou Weihua, because Boss Du had ordered him to tell Zhou Weihua that everything that happened outside could be told to Zhou Weihua.
"I didn't expect that so many things would happen outside in two days. If you hadn't reported to me, I wouldn't have known it." Zhou Weihua was indeed surprised after listening to the report.
"Yes, a lot of things have indeed happened in the past two days. The Japanese are ready to move and are even more eyeing Shanghai." Boss Du's bodyguard responded truthfully.
"I understand that the Japanese have been eyeing Shanghai, and we need to make our attitude." Zhou Weihua made a decision directly.
However, at this time, the people from the Kuomintang army also appeared.
"Hello, Brigade Commander Zhou, Chief Zhou!" The people from the Kuomintang appeared and saluted Zhou Weihua directly.
"Hello, Chief of Staff." Zhou Weihua also responded.
"Brig Commander Zhou, it's too difficult for you to rush out of it. It's really not easy for the Japanese to surround you..."
"It's not easy for you, you can't enter our secret base at all."
"Brave Commander Zhou, I have nothing to discuss with you, and it is very important."
"Oh, just say anything."
"But... did Brigade Commander Zhou speak with the previous step?"
"If you have anything, just say it. Everyone is their own people and they are also people on the united front."
"Okay, then I'll just say it."
"Please say it."
"Our order on the street today, the upwind allowed us to withdraw from Shanghai, but our chief unanimously agreed after the military meeting that we would stay."
"It's good to stay, it's very good news."
"Yes, as Chinese soldiers, we should not retreat. We should stick to every inch of our territory and defend our Shanghai."
"You have done a very good job. You are the army and are a unit that I respect very much."
"Yes, our magistrate also said that we will not accept the orders of the outside king."
"I am sure that he is Chief Xie, I admire him."
Zhou Weihua didn't expect that Xie Cheng was such a bloody person, which was really admirable.
But I was still a little puzzled. Why did the commanders of the National Army withdraw?
Isn't it good to stay and resist the Japanese?
Or is there a deeper strategic plan?
Now Xie Cheng leads his troops to stay to resist the Japanese, which is a heroic act.
"The spirit of your superiors is worth learning from." Zhou Weihua said a flattering sentence.
"Brig Commander Zhou, we don't need to say anything else." The Chief of Staff of the National Army responded directly: "Our Chief said that we would hand over the command to Brig Commander Zhou, and our National Army Department would be willing to obey General Zhou's command."
Zhou Weihua was indeed stunned when he heard this.
Xie Cheng actually handed over the command to himself.
Why?
Did you feel the pressure of command?
Probably not.
It is inevitable for the Japanese to break through the city of Shanghai, but street fighting and urban warfare are also inevitable.
"I don't understand what Chief Xie meant, why did I suddenly hand over the command power to me?" Zhou Weihua really didn't know, and really wanted to know why.
"Our commander Zhou said that Brigade Commander Zhou has rich experience, especially in urban warfare and street fighting, so he handed over the command to Brigade Commander Zhou. We trusted him very much and believed that our survival rate would be higher." The staff of the Kuomintang directly said the words of Chief Xie Cheng.
"Thank you very much for your superiors for your trust in me. I think it's better to give your superiors command."
"Brave Commander Zhou, our commander knows that you will definitely refuse. Our commander said that no matter what, the commander will definitely fall on you. All our officers and soldiers obey and obey your command. If General Zhou is unwilling to accept the command, then all our officers and soldiers will withdraw from Shanghai."
"You sir are threatening me?"
"Chief Zhou has no choice. Our chief said that only you can lead us to fight against the Japanese and fight against Japan with you, so that we can survive."
The staff of the Kuomintang did not say anything because Xie Cheng passed these words to him and asked him to pass them on to Zhou Weihua.
Zhou Weihua could only be very helpless.
He didn't expect Xie Cheng to hand over command.
Aren't they high above all else?
Do they need to change their previous style?
However, Zhou Weihua still admires Xie Cheng's character very much.
He is an iron-blooded soldier who is willing to disobey the orders of superiors against the Japanese.
"Okay, since your superiors are so complimenting, I'm not polite to take over the command." Zhou Weihua was not polite to the National Army's staff.
"General Zhou didn't know what was going on, so he told us to do it?" The National Army Staff saluted Zhou Weihua directly.
"There is not nothing you need to do at the moment. Now we need to break through the Japanese siege plan and let us leave the secret base so that we can show our skills." Zhou Weihua directly responded to the national military staff.
"Will Chief Zhou ask our troops to cooperate with your troops as an insider and outside partner to break through the Japanese defense?"
"Your troops are in Shanghai. If you are transferring your troops to deal with the Japanese, it will probably be inappropriate, and your original advantages will be gone."
"Chief Zhou, what are our advantages in Shanghai?"
"You are more familiar with Shanghai City and want to have a certain advantage for the Japanese devils."
"Chief Zhou is right. We do know every street and alley in Shanghai."
"Yes, this is your advantage, so you must understand every street and alley and send people to occupy a certain height, which is very important for future urban warfare."
"Please rest assured, Chief Zhou, I will definitely convey your words to our superiors, and we will do our best to cooperate with the superiors' requirements."
"Don't be so polite. You can do these things well and wait for us to meet. At the same time, you should contact Boss Du more and he can provide you with something you don't have."
"Okay, I will definitely repay our superiors."
"Okay, it's not advisable to stay for too long. You guys hurry up and go back."
"clear."
The Chief of Staff of the National Army had already completed his goal and turned around and left.
For them, their national army had no way to help Zhou Weihua as the Japanese defence.
After all, their main forces are all in Shanghai. If they are all mobilized, as Zhou Weihua said, you will lose all your advantages.
"Boss Zhou, then we're back too." Boss Du's bodyguard said directly: "I don't know what Boss Zhou has to pass on to the boss."
"I don't have anything to pass on, so that your boss can be prepared."
"Okay, I will definitely convey the meaning."
"Go back."
After Boss Du's bodyguard turned around and said goodbye, at this moment, another figure appeared in another place.
