Chiang Kai-shek looked at the telegram in his hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He waited and waited for a telegram from Zhou Weiguo asking for help. He thought that Zhou Weiguo was really strong enough to fight the Japanese army in North China alone.
That was hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, involving the land, sea and air forces. If Zhou Weiguo could really block it, Chiang Kai-shek would really have to consider whether his soldiers were too useless? Otherwise, why would the gap be so huge?
"Yunong, let's all gather together for a meeting. The Independent Division is asking for help." Lao Jiang said to Dai Li.
"yes!"
…
Yan'an
"As expected, I'm asking for help." The great man said with a smile and took a puff of his cigarette.
"Hey, he's too impulsive." General Peng shook his head, "It's clear that there are internal worries, but he still expanded outwards. I really don't understand why."
"The little guy also has his own ideas." The great man smiled, then looked at the map, "His attack mobilized the entire North China."
"Yes, the Japanese have mobilized hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops to go south. Now, there are much fewer troops in the three provinces." General Peng also smiled, "Moreover, the instability of the Japanese rear directly led to instability on the front line."
"Especially in parts of Shanxi and Hebei, they have been very tight recently for fear of armed uprisings."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
The great man smiled and said, "We will give the devils whatever they fear. Moreover, tell him that since he was previously appointed as the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong, let him really use it. Moreover, our troops and equipment in Shandong are
It can be said to be the best.”
"That's right. I don't know what this little guy is seeing outside."
…
In Laiyang, after Zhou Weiguo sent a telegram asking for help to both sides, they didn't care about asking for help. After all, it was too far. Water from afar could not quench the thirst of the near. If they could do anything, it would be best to help him. They couldn't do it.
What, there is nothing we can do about it.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map, then brought up the system panel and took a look, sighing, other people's systems have lottery draws, why doesn't he?
"Haha." The system said.
Zhou Weiguo, "???I'm just thinking about it."
"hehe."
"Forget it, there's nothing you can do about it." Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to hear a soldier shouting a report, "Come in!"
"Master, Commander Qiu of the Eighth Route Army is here."
"Quickly please." Zhou Weiguo said, although he was previously appointed as the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong, he also knew that the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had had grievances for many years. Even if Qiu Ming's independent regiment had no objection to him, other members of the Eighth Route Army
How could several regiments have no objections to him? Therefore, although he had made preparations before, he had not really mobilized these regiments of the Eighth Route Army.
"Master Zhou!" Qiu Ming entered the headquarters with a smile and saluted Zhou Weiguo.
"Commander Qiu!" Zhou Weiguo returned the greeting, "You came just in time. This time, the independent division is in trouble and needs more support from your army."
"Commander Zhou, you are so polite. You are the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shandong. Your orders are military orders to our Eighth Route Army in Shandong!" Qiu Ming replied, "This time, I am also very grateful to Zhou.
Commander Zhou’s assistance, if it had not been for Commander Zhou, many people would have died.”
"Hey." After hearing Qiu Ming talk about this, Zhou Weiguo was also helpless. If it hadn't been for this, he wouldn't have been trapped here, unable to move. "This infectious disease, cholera, is caused by the devils in our water source."
It was caused by the introduction of bacteria. Today, nearly 30,000 people have been infected, and dozens of people are dying every day. To be honest, I am also a little overwhelmed."
"Damnable Japs," Qiu Ming said angrily, "It's obvious that they want to stumble the independent division so that they can wait for an opportunity to counterattack."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Today, the flying brigade of our independent division has suffered heavy casualties, and the fighter planes cannot be replenished for a while. There are only 10 aircraft. Each brigade and regiment are sticking to their positions. However, our independent division is now a regiment, and it has to face
It's actually a Japanese division and a Japanese air force."
"This!" Qiu Ming was stunned. He never expected that the Japanese troops would be so much stronger than the independent division. Such a comparison of troops was really terrifying.
"Eh." Zhou Weiguo sighed, "There are Japs outside and cholera is rampant inside. Now, the Independent Division is indeed suffering from internal and external troubles."
"Master Zhou, our Eighth Route Army has a total of 4 infantry regiments in Shandong. Each regiment basically has more than 2,000 people, as well as militia and county brigades. As long as you say a word, we will fight the Japanese how you tell us.
How to defeat the Japs." Qiu Ming immediately expressed his position. Because of the independent division, their development has been very smooth. If the independent division is eliminated by the Japs, then the Japs' next target will be them. This is also a shame.
"Okay, then I would like to ask Commander Qiu to mark the positions of each unit so that I can make arrangements." Zhou Weiguo nodded. At this time, he was no longer polite.
"Okay." Qiu Ming immediately stepped forward and pointed at the map, "My Second Independent Regiment is in Hutou Mountain, so I won't talk about it."
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, and then continued to listen to Qiu Mingdao, "Our Eighth Route Army also has an independent first regiment near Pingdu. The leader is Comrade Liu Yu. Between Tai'an and Qufu, there is our third independent regiment.
, the regiment leader is Comrade Zhang Yizhen, and near Zaozhuang and Linyi, there is our Independent Fourth Regiment, the regiment leader is Comrade Xu Jian. There are also militiamen and county brigades basically distributed in various counties."
Zhou Weiguo nodded. It seemed that the Eighth Route Army had quite a lot of weapons in Shandong. Then he looked at the map carefully and analyzed it. Then he raised his head and asked, "Is there any information about Jinan?"
?”
"Is it from Jinan?" Qiu Ming frowned, then shook his head, "The Japanese are investigating very closely now, and the information has not been passed on for a long time."
Zhou Weiguo frowned, "Your army's intelligence system shouldn't be that weak, right?"
Qiu Ming frowned and said, "It has indeed been a long time since this was reported."
"how long?"
"At least half a month."
"Eh." Zhou Weiguo sighed. Although the rate of cholera infection has slowed down, there are only more than a hundred people increasing every day. The five days from cholera outbreak to basic control are the result of the efforts of the troops directly under the division. It is also Zhou Weiguo
The result of spending hundreds of thousands of war points and efforts to control it was also the result of the desperate efforts of several other combat units in the independent division.
"Why is Mr. Zhou sighing over this matter?"
"I'm afraid that the comrades in your army in Jinan may encounter something unexpected." Zhou Weiguo said helplessly.
Qiu Ming shook his head, "Comrade Liu Yuan should be fine."
"What?" Zhou Weiguo was surprised, "You mean, Liu Yuan is in charge of Jinan's intelligence?"
