When Zhou Weiguo looked at Qiu Ao's battle report, he was silent for a long time. In the Battle of Rushan, the Air Force Brigade of the Independent Division once again lost 19 aircraft and 11 pilots. Today, the Air Force Brigade still has 10 fighters and 18 pilots left. It can be said that
,lost heavily.
But in this battle, the flying group shot down more than 40 Japanese fighters and more than 10 Japanese bombers. It was a great victory.
Zhou Weiguo would rather not have such a great victory.
The remaining 10 fighter planes will not have much effect on the Japs. After all, the Japs are fighting him with the power of Japan and the confidence of the three northeastern provinces. And he only has a small Laiyang.
Lacey and Haiyang have only 60,000 people. They don't have a navy, and now even the air force is crippled. The situation is getting worse and worse. The air force is almost crippled, and he doesn't even have the confidence to defend Haiyang.
…
Zhu Ziming looked at the telegram in his hand, was silent for a long time, and said, "We have failed our brothers in the Air Force. If we hadn't rushed in and attacked Rushan City after taking Panshidian Town, this thing would not have happened. This incident,
I will give an explanation to my brother."
"Brother, I don't blame you, I was the one who instigated you." Li Wu said angrily, "If you want to apologize, it's me who apologizes."
"Third brother." Zhu Ziming frowned, "I am the brigade commander of the second brigade. As the top officer of the second brigade, I cannot escape this responsibility."
"But brother, I am the one who gave the direct order."
"Go on and take good care of your brothers. They are all brothers of your own. Before doing something, don't worry about the victory, but the defeat first." Zhu Ziming sighed, "During this period, I will ask Brother Xu Hu to take over my position.
"
"Brother!"
"Don't worry, Master is our brother, nothing will happen to me." Zhu Ziming smiled, someone must take responsibility for this matter.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely guard Haiyang! I will avenge my brothers!"
"Um."
…
Subsequently, Zhu Ziming sent a telegram of apology.
Zhou Weiguo directly resigned from his position as the commander of the second brigade, and was replaced by Xu Hu as the commander of the second brigade, sticking to Haiyang.
…
It was already a day after I saw Zhu Ziming.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhu Ziming, not knowing what to say, then patted Zhu Ziming on the shoulder and said, "Brother, during this time, you can help me in Laiyang."
"Yeah." Zhu Ziming smiled reluctantly and said, "Brother, I'm causing trouble for you."
"Brother, next time, don't do this again." Zhou Weiguo was helpless.
"Brother, I want to join the Air Force." Zhu Ziming said in surprise.
"Brother, don't be ridiculous." Zhou Weiguo looked at Zhu Ziming. Seeing Zhu Ziming's serious eyes, he knew that this was Zhu Ziming's apology. If he didn't agree to it, he might become Zhu Ziming's heartache. But Zhu Ziming
He is already over 30 this year. Although he is in good health, not everyone can be a pilot. Zhou Weiguo sighed and said, "Brother, I can't guarantee that you will be able to join the Air Force. I can only take you to give it a try.
"
"good."
…
When Zhou Weiguo and Zhu Ziming appeared at the flying brigade, Qiu Ao was inspecting his fighter plane.
"Master!" Qiu Ao saluted Zhou Weiguo, then looked at Zhu Ziming, wondering what Zhu Ziming was doing here.
"Captain Qiu." Zhou Weiguo returned the greeting and then said, "This is Brigadier Zhu Ziming."
"Not anymore." Zhu Ziming said quickly, "Captain Qiu, I came here this time because I want to join the Air Force Brigade!"
"What?" Qiu Ao asked in surprise, and then he understood. Although he was very sad about the loss this time, mainly the loss of personnel, they still shot down many Japanese aircraft. They did not need other brother troops.
of guilt.
"Captain Qiu, don't refuse yet. I am not acting on a whim or out of guilt for your Air Force, but I really want to join the Air Force." Zhu Ziming said immediately, "Our independent division cannot develop the navy now, so the Air Force
It is extremely important. However, after several months of development, the air force has been repeatedly damaged. The reason is that the number is too small. Otherwise, with the performance of our fighter planes, we can easily repel the Japanese. I
As the former brigade commander of the Second Brigade, if you join the flying brigade, it will be a good publicity and encouragement for the flying brigade. When the time comes, there will definitely be more people signing up to join the flying brigade."
After listening to Zhu Ziming's words, Zhou Weiguo suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing for Zhu Ziming to join the flying brigade. Then he looked at Qiu Ao and heard Qiu Ao say, "I'm not sure whether Brigadier Zhu is suitable to be a pilot. I can only
Give it a try.”
"Um."
…
January 4, 1938, Guojiadian Town, one brigade and one regiment.
"Tuanzuo, the Japanese troops are getting more and more powerful."
Gan Xinda frowned and looked at the map and the distribution of troops on both sides. He did not expect that the Japanese would be so crazy that one division would attack one of their regiments. "Well, let the brothers defend and protect themselves."
"yes!"
"Send a telegram to the division headquarters immediately and inform the division headquarters of the current situation."
"yes!"
"Let the commander of the chariot battalion come to see me."
"yes!"
…
Tianjin, Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters
"Yoshi, basically the attack points in every direction are already several times the enemy's strength." Sugiyama Yuan looked at the map with satisfaction, "Now, we can defeat them one by one."
"Hi, and, although our Imperial Japanese Air Force suffered heavy losses yesterday, there are not many Chinese fighter planes, and they have already suffered heavy losses." Yamashita Fengwen said with a smile, "Zhou Weiguo's independent division is trying to fight us with a county.
The entire North China Front Army is really overestimating its capabilities."
"Yoshi." Sugiyama Yuan smiled, "But this time, it's all thanks to Ishii Shiro."
"Hi!"
Takeshita Jun looked at the satisfied and ugly faces in the headquarters, and suddenly he didn't want to stay any longer. Although war can be fought by any means, but, when they spoke out and used such despicable methods with confidence, Takeshita Jun felt that such a group of
People cannot take on big responsibilities no matter what. China is a very ancient country. You must know that in history, the Han people have been suppressed by foreigners more than once. Even by the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, ethnic minorities were already ruling the Han people. However, China
The culture of China has never lost its inheritance. Such a country is difficult to overthrow. What's more, now that the empire has shown signs of decline, China's advantages of vast territory and abundant resources have gradually emerged. The empire's footsteps are too big and too hasty, and it has not digested the territory it occupied.
It is difficult to really defeat this country if we rush to the next step.
…
Laiyang, headquarters.
Zhou Weiguo frowned as he watched the telegrams gradually sent back from various places. This time, all his war points were used to exchange for medicines, and there was no way to support the soldiers. However, at such a stall, the Japanese wanted to break through him one by one.
of troops.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, rubbed his brows, and thought about countermeasures.
