"Hahaha!" Zhang Zizhong laughed when he saw Zhou Weiguo, and then gave him a big hug. After letting him go, he said, "Thanks to you, brother Weiguo, for this time!"
"No, Brother Xin Chen had God's blessing and stood firm." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "I just gave him a little assist."
"This is more than just an assist!" Zhang Zizhong said with a smile, "Last night's explosion injured and killed at least more than 10,000 Japs, and then caused the remaining Japs to panic and panic. When I led the raid, the Japs even put up an effective resistance
None, and that’s why we have the great victory now!”
"That's good luck." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Now, the Japanese should have fled towards Zaoyang."
"Yeah." Zhang Zizhong nodded, "It's a shame that Zaoyang was not defended."
"The Japs have so many troops this time that it's normal for them to be unable to defend themselves." Zhou Weiguo immediately said, "Brother Xin Chen, the casualties here should also be heavy this time."
"Hey, almost everyone is injured, and the number of sacrifices has not yet been counted." Zhang Zizhong sighed, "This time, my right-wing army has almost been disabled. If the Japanese come again, I am afraid they will be unable to resist."
"Don't worry, we still have reinforcements." Zhou Weiguo patted Zhang Zizhong on the shoulder and said.
"Okay, let the people below do the counting. Let's cross the river first?"
"good."

Fifth Theater Command
"Okay! Okay!" Li Zongren laughed and looked at the telegram, "Zhang Xingchen and Zhou Weiguo really don't disappoint. Once they do it, it will be a big surprise."
"Yes, more than 13,000 enemies were killed, countless were injured, and troops and horses were captured, as well as countless supplies!" Bai Chongxi also laughed, "It's just that the troops under his command, Zhang Zizhong, were almost crippled."
"Hey, Tang Enbo's support troops were blocked by the Japs in Tianjiaji, and they are still fighting. If Zhou Weiguo hadn't led hundreds of people through, I am afraid that Xiangyang would have been in the hands of the Japs." Li Zongren sighed, "This is
This time, it was a blessing. In the Suixian battle, Tang Enbo's troops wiped out more than 10,000 enemies, and it was also because of Zhou Weiguo. It seems that Zhou Weiguo is really our lucky star this time."
"That is not only a lucky star, but also an important think tank." Bai Chongxi said, "Although almost all of Suixian County is out of service, but after killing such a number of Japanese, I think Okamura Neji will feel so distressed to death.
No."
"Yes, after this time, I wonder if Shouyi, who is still in Chongqing Temple, will mention the armistice again." Li Zongren sighed.
"I'm afraid it's very difficult." Bai Chongxi said, "The Japanese's new cabinet has just been formed, and this came to comfort the domestic mood. Now that the armistice agreement has been rejected by us, it is equivalent to igniting their domestic anger. Now this
Once, if they lose the war, the people in their country will be even more angry. If they win, some people feel that fighting China is nothing more than this. Since the war can be stopped, let's stop and don't waste resources."
"Yes." Li Zongren sighed, "It has been eight years since the three eastern provinces fell in 1931. In the past eight years, we soldiers have not recovered a single bit of the country, but nearly one-third of the country has fallen. It's really
Yes...eh."
"Commander..." Bai Chongxi wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He knew that no matter what, the loss of the country was a fact.
"That's it, hurry up and forward this telegram of the great victory to the United Front Work Department, so that they can be happy too." Li Zongren exhaled and said.
"Um."
…
Chongqing
"Hahaha! Okay!" Old Jiang looked at the telegram and laughed. This time, he really vented his anger, "He Zhang Zizhong is a good person! Zhou Weiguo is also a good person!"
"Yes." Dai Li sighed, "At this time, I can't wait to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"Don't talk about you, even I want to go to the battlefield!" Lao Jiang sighed, "I remember that the last time I went to the battlefield was more than ten years ago."
"Principal, how should I be rewarded this time? The Weiguo Division not only helped Zhang Zizhong defeat the Japanese, but also helped Tang Enbo." Dai Li said carefully.
"Well, for the independent division, the whole army will announce the award and give Zhou Weiguo a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal." Lao Jiang sighed and said, "As for the independent division, he is not short of money. Didn't he say before that he would support 200,000 Chinese troops?
Is it official? How can such a person be short of money? But the army cannot be expanded any more. If we expand it again, I'm afraid I will create a big enemy for myself!"
"Principal, Wei Guo is not that kind of person. He will definitely not point his gun at the principal." Dai Li said.
"Emotionally, I know he won't," Lao Jiang said, "But intellectually? Yunong, you must do what I asked you to do well. This is related to the rise and fall of our party and the future.
"
"I know, principal." Dai Li nodded.
"As for Tang Enbo and Zhang Zizhong, just reward them with more silver coins."
"good."

Yan'an
"This is a good fight!" the great man put down the telegram, "I'm afraid the Japanese will not be able to achieve their goal in Suizao this time."
"Yes." General Zhu sighed, "Li Xiannian even sent a telegram back before saying that the equipment he received was enough to support his column with all kinds of firepower, and he said he wanted to thank Zhou Weiguo."
"Haha, thank you for what?" the great man said with a smile, "As long as Li Xiannian can win a beautiful victory, I think Zhou Weiguo will be even happier."
"That's true."
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Report, telegram from Li Xiannian, commander of the New Fourth Army's Hubei Column."
"bring here."
The great man took the telegram, read it, and laughed again, "Hahaha, okay, okay."
"What's wrong?"
"I just said that Li Xiannian would come to fight a great victory, isn't this coming?" The great man handed the telegram to General Zhu, "When he was leading his column near Zaoyang, he encountered a group of people fleeing from the Xianghe River.
The more than 20,000 Japanese who returned had no fighting spirit and were in extremely low spirits, so he led his men to fight. Of course, he first bombarded them with artillery. The Japanese who were directly hit all fled to Zaoyang without resistance. Along the way, they
More than 3,000 Japanese were killed."
"This is really, hahaha." General Zhu read the telegram and heard the great man's words, "It's really true, I can't find the words to describe it for a while."
"Anyway, it's all a good thing." The great man said, "Now, the Japanese were frightened out of their wits. Most of them were killed in Xianghe River, and they were chased for a while by Zhang Zizhong. They ran back to Zaoyang and came again.
, does this look like Cao Cao after Red Cliff in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?"
"Hahaha, it looks like it!"
"Good news. This time, Okamura Neji should also feel distressed." The great man said, and then walked to the map, "It's a pity that Zhang Zizhong's troops were almost disabled, otherwise, the counterattack could have begun!"
"Hey." General Zhu said immediately, "Look at the troops led by Zhang Zizhong. Most of the 22nd Army are Sichuan troops. Their equipment is not as good as ours now. They are all supported by flesh and blood. As for the 33rd Army, except for him
It would be good for our own headquarters and others to listen to his words and fire a few shots on the position under the previous circumstances."
"When I read his telegram before, it was really painful to read." The great man sighed, "He is also a man who stands upright."
"Circumstances create heroes, and Zhang Zizhong is naturally one of them."
"Okay, order Li Xiannian to continue to expand the team and establish a good foothold in northern Hubei!"
