As soon as the news came out that the Nationalist Government awarded the independent division 100,000 silver dollars, the Japanese were angry.

"It seems that the Chinese people are toasting and not eating, and they have to drink wine as a penalty." Okamura Neiji said coldly. Now, he got accurate information that Zhou Weiguo is in Laiyang and not in Nanchang. Nanchang only has the deputy commander of the independent division and the
A group of officers were present, and of course, there was also the newly established Second Air Force Brigade. Therefore, he was fully confident that he would give the Kuomintang army a head-on blow.
"Order, commanders and above of the regiment, and the headquarters to hold a meeting."
"Hi!"

Yan'an
The great man smoked a cigarette, looked at the information, and sighed, "Chiang Kai-shek is about to take action."
"Yes, he wants to disperse the military power of Weiguo."
"It seems that he is determined to beat us."
"He's been very firm on this, hasn't he?"
"That's true." The great man smiled, "However, Wei Guo cannot refuse these orders. Fortunately, Wei Guo was not beaten down, otherwise, it would be a mutiny."
"Considering the influence of Weiguo, he will naturally not take action so quickly. However, I believe that Weiguo will not surrender. Anyone who has been to Laiyang will be moved by it. It is a kind of upward vitality.
This is the hope we can see." Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "So, I think Zhou Zhirou and Chen Jiliang are more likely to be appeased by Wei Guo."
"Is that so optimistic?" The great man was interested, "I really want to go there once. The place has been restored now. With the little guy's current ability, it is not difficult to hold on."
"Yeah. But you'd better stay calm. If you move, ghosts and monsters will come out." Mr. Zhou advised, "Be at ease. Don't make trouble."
"Eh." The great man sighed, "Forget it, comrades, let's step up preparations. After all, we still have to guard against attacks from Chiang Kai-shek's side."
"Um."

Zhou Zhirou frowned as he looked at the transfer order. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Laiyang Independent Division. It was just that this lackluster transfer order was going to put him on the fire.
"Zhirou." came a voice, but it was Lao Jiang.
"Chairman?" Zhou Zhirou stood up and saluted.
"No, no." Lao Jiang waved his hand, "Don't you think it's weird?"
"Yeah." Zhou Zhirou nodded, "After all, Laiyang is a little remote."
"Although it is a bit remote, the combat effectiveness of the troops over there is very strong." Lao Jiang sighed, "I heard that the performance of his fighters is very good. After you go there, find a way to let Zhou Weiguo give other aircraft to the Air Force."
The troops also get some."
Zhou Zhirou frowned, "Commissioner, I heard that all the equipment for Zhou Weiguo's independent division was funded by himself?"
"That's right." Lao Jiang rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm really embarrassed to say it, but at this point in the country's affairs, we are really helpless."
Zhou Zhirou was also rubbing his head. Old Jiang was asking him a difficult question, "After I pass, who will have the command of the air force?"
"Central." Lao Jiang paused and then said.
Zhou Zhirou's head hurt even more, and she heard Lao Jiang say, "This matter has to be done by you. Once you go, we should vigorously develop the size of the air force, combat command capabilities, and the rules that should be in place so that they can perform more effectively."
Only your own advantages are worthy of the country and the people. To be honest, the Air Force of the Independent Division has been built by its own grass-roots team. The captain of the first group is a pilot who once was Qiu Ao. And the second group's air force is built by his own team.
The captain is Zhu Ziming, the boss of Qingfeng Village. Such a team uses the most advanced fighter equipment, and I'm afraid they will waste it."
Zhou Zhirou frowned, "Qiu Ao? I remember that he went to the United States to study and later graduated from the Central Air Force Military Academy. He was a very capable pilot."
"It should be Laiyang that I went to during the Battle of Wuhan." Lao Jiang replied, "As for Zhu Ziming, he was a bandit leader who couldn't read a word before."
"Eh." Zhou Zhirou sighed, "I will die after exhausting myself."
"Yes." Lao Jiang patted Zhou Zhirou on the shoulder with satisfaction, "I'm not worried about anyone else going about this. I'm most at ease if you go."
"Okay, please rest assured, commissioned! I will definitely complete my mission!"
"Um."
…
"Ji Liang, you need to be careful when you go to Laiyang to take up a post this time." Chen Shaokuan said to Chen Jiliang, "I think you should understand what the chairman means, right?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Jiliang frowned, "Aren't you just going to be the commander of the 1st Marine Division?"
Chen Shaokuan sighed, "That's all. Let's do it well when we get there. Pull up all the combat power and lift it up. The side of Laiyang is close to the sea and is in urgent need of a navy."
"Yeah. I know all this, but now I'm curious about what kind of warships their navy has now?" Chen Jiliang said with a smile, "I always felt that they didn't do the Qingdao side."
"Why not? If Zhou Weiguo wants to thank his soldiers, he will definitely upload the battle report." Chen Shaokuan said, "The telegram said that they now have a submarine formation and a battleship fleet. The specific number
, I guess you won’t know until you get there.”
Chen Jiliang nodded, "Well, since you are now a teacher, you should have a blank appointment document, right?"
"Well, here it is." Chen Shaokuan then took a bunch of blank appointment documents, "You can give it to me as you see fit, but you have to give it to the key ones, you know?"
"Hey, can't we fight the Japs well? I will go because that is the front line of fighting the Japs. There is the Chinese Navy there now!" Chen Jiliang said excitedly, "At that time in Jiangyin, if we had more advanced
Or more battleships, it won’t be like that!”
"I know I know!"
…
July 12, 1939, Xiaogan.
"Your Excellency, division commander, you are ready." A Japanese soldier said.
"Yoshi, let's attack!"
"Hi!"
Before, the Japanese army returned Xiaogan, Hanchuan, and Xiaochang to the Nationalist Government. Now, because Zhou Weiguo broke the agreement, the Japanese had to teach the Nationalist Government some lessons. But what they didn’t know was that the Nationalist Government had already
Heavy troops were deployed here to prepare for the subsequent counterattack on Wuhan. Even if they knew about it, the Japanese army was still confident that they would teach the Kuomintang troops some lessons.
After a while, artillery shells roared and flew towards the city of Xiaogan.
…
"The kid's artillery attack, take cover first!" a national army colonel shouted.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Some of the cannonballs landed on the top of the city, some hit the city walls directly, and some landed on the positions outside the city. For a while, the earth was flying.
"Come here and call the division headquarters for help. Just say we need artillery support!"
"yes!"
"Let the brothers hide better, and when the Japanese artillery fire passes, give them some harsh blows!"
