On the night of December 10, 1938, Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhang Feng on the hospital bed. No matter how much he blamed him, he couldn't say anything. Originally, he wanted to ask him why he didn't use anti-aircraft guns and why he didn't pay attention to air defense. But when he saw
Zhang Feng's whole body was almost covered with bandages, and Zhou Weiguo fell silent.
The huge explosion and fire wave eroded 70 to 80% of Zhang Feng's skin.
"Teacher." Zhang Feng's voice was hoarse and his vocal cords were damaged.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "It's okay. Take good care of yourself. We will still need you on the battlefield."
"Master." Zhang Feng's eyes were red. Zhang Long quickly took a handkerchief and wiped his tears, "I'm sorry. I didn't take care of my brothers."
"Take good care of yourself." Seeing this, Zhou Weiguo's nose felt a little sore. He raised his head and said with a smile, "If there are any sequelae in the future, your brother will blame me to death."
"yes!"
Later, Zhou Weiguo walked out of the ward and visited other injured soldiers.

"Doctor Suzuki, aren't you ashamed of what you have done? The empire has crushed at least 1,000 warriors today, and lost 18 fighter planes and 4 battleships." A voice sounded excitedly.
"so what."
"Suzuki-kun, as a soldier of the empire, even though you are a military doctor, even if you don't fight for the empire, you can't help the Chinese people? Can't you?"
The other person was silent, sighed, and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
…
On December 11, 1938, it was first published in newspapers across the country.
"Good news! Good news! The Laiyang Independent Division shot down 18 Japanese fighter planes! Sinked 4 Japanese warships! Annihilated thousands of enemies!"
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Great victory in Laiyang!"
"Give me one!"
"Give me one too!"

"Yunong, do you think this is true?" Jiang Zhongzheng asked, his voice neither sad nor happy.
"Yes, principal. The news came back from Chen Wu, the military commander we sent to the Independent Division before." Dai Li nodded and said, "Moreover, newspapers across the country are celebrating now."
"Eh." Lao Jiang sighed, "How come he has become so powerful without making any noise? He even has an air force brigade. No wonder he has refused to come back."
"Principal, I don't think Wei Guo thinks so." Dai Li hesitated and said.
"Then what do you think he thinks?"
"Wei Guo is young and doesn't have any ideas. In his opinion, fighting the Japanese is the best idea."
"Hey, but he didn't report this to me at all, and where did he buy his plane? I've always heard that he paid for the equipment of his independent division with his own money. You
"How much money does he need to have to afford so many aircraft and equipment?" Jiang Zhongzheng sighed, "I'm afraid that he will sign something he shouldn't for the sake of equipment."
"Principal, I think the Wei Council will consider it, and their family has indeed made a lot of money. It's really a lot of money." Dai Li smiled bitterly, "About half a month ago, there suddenly appeared in the domestic market a new product called
Amoxicillin, an anti-inflammatory drug, is supplied in large quantities to our military and the Communist Army. According to the investigation of the subordinates, this anti-inflammatory drug was produced by him, and it was shipped across the country through the secret supply channels of Zhou's shop."
"What about the price of this medicine?"
"The price supplied to our military is quite reasonable, 5 silver dollars each. However, due to insufficient supply, the price of this medicine even exceeded 20 silver dollars on the black market."
"Little bastard." Lao Jiang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Let him have a good fight."
"yes!"
…
In Laiyang, Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and kept thinking. Although the Japanese suffered heavy losses in the battle at Haiyang, which caused the Japanese attack to be suspended, Zhou Weiguo knew that the Japanese were just accumulating strength. Although the battle in Haiyang was pretty good
, but the 50,000 or 60,000 people under him cannot compete with the Japs in North China. However, he does not want to give up Laiyang. Moreover, most of the soldiers under him are from the Laiyang area, let alone
He may have given up to Laiyang. Although Laiyang's defense line seems strong at present, it will collapse as long as one side is breached. The most important thing is that many of the soldiers he has now have never been on the battlefield.
.
"Eh." Zhou Weiguo sighed and rubbed his eyebrows. He thought for a whole night to see if there was any way to reduce the loss, but he couldn't think of any.
Seeing this, Fang Shengli smiled and said, "What else can upset our general?"
Zhou Weiguo was helpless and said with a smile, "This battle is not easy to fight."
"Of course it's hard to fight." Fang Shengli answered, "As long as we don't give up Laiyang, it will definitely be hard to fight. But we can't give up Laiyang."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Nowadays, all defense lines seem to be well prepared, but in fact they are about to collapse at the first touch. Most of the soldiers are new soldiers and have never been on the battlefield. Even if they are better than the Japanese in terms of equipment, I am afraid that the battle losses will still be relatively large."
"However, as long as we defend this battle, our soldiers will all grow up." Li Weimin took over, "So, no matter what, this battle must be fought. Since we all have to fight, we must fight
The soldiers were given the best weapons and equipment, and they were led by our best commanders and fighters. We did everything we could."
"Third brother, how is the special team doing lately?" Zhou Weiguo asked Liu San, saying,
"Everyone wants to go to the battlefield." Liu San replied, "They all say, brother, have you forgotten them?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly, "Let's do this. Let the first team go to Haiyang. The second team will go to Laixi. The third team will go to the Xujiadian area. I will go to the south to deal with the Japanese in the direction of Qingdao. For the people, you sit in Laiyang.
Maintain good logistics arrangements. Although the Japanese have not attacked for the time being, they must be accumulating strength."
"yes!"
"Chen Wu, pay more attention to the Japanese in the city recently and don't let them cause trouble."
"yes!"
"Old Wu, your transport team must cooperate well with the Chief of Staff."
"Yes! Second in charge, don't worry!"
"Wang Chao, do you have exactly four battalions under the chariot regiment of your chariot?"
"yes!"
"Okay, then each battalion will defend one side. In order, we will march to the southeast, northwest and northwest of Laiyang."
"yes!"
"Leng Yan, Ye Fengchen, your two troops will stay in Laiyang for the time being to help the chief of staff take care of his home. If the frontline needs support, I will tell you."
"yes!"

"You mean, Zhou Weiguo's wife is not in Laiyang County now?" a voice said.
"Yes, according to Suzuki Hui, Zhou Weiguo's wife has gone to Qingfeng Village to escape the war."
"How are the guards at Qingfeng Village doing?"
"Only the old and weak soldiers are left, and most of them have already gone to the battlefield."
"Yoshi! We need to gather about 30 warriors immediately, quietly..."
