After dinner, Zhou Weiguo went to Liu Zhihui's room.
"Brother, why are you here? Do you have something to say to me?" Liu Zhihui smiled. At this time, Liu Yuan happened to be in Liu Zhihui's room, and the two brothers also had something to say.
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded and said, "Xiao Hui, this time the Chairman directly parachuted a division commander to expand the navy into a division. Then, in terms of organization, I will no longer have direct command over the navy and air force."
Liu Zhihui and Liu Yuan both nodded, and Liu Yuan said, "I was talking to Xiaohui about this just now."
"However, General Chen Jiliang is also a hard-blooded man. You should all know about the Jiangyin naval battle." Zhou Weiguo said, "I would recommend General Lin Jianzhang to be the division chief of staff, and General Zhang Qian to be the deputy division commander and deputy chief of staff."
"It should be." Liu Zhihui nodded, "Both of them are seniors and both have qualifications."
"But in the submarine formation, your position as captain remains unchanged. I would recommend you to concurrently serve as naval combat staff officer." Zhou Weiguo said.
"I understand." Liu Zhihui said, "I will organize the submarine formation."
"It's good to know." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Speaking of which, we pay for the soldiers, navy, and air force of the Independent Division ourselves. This move of the Chairman is really unkind."
"Yeah, I don't think it's kind either." Liu Zhihui said immediately, "This is just like picking peaches!"
"However, one thing is that the people sent by the Chairman, whether they are General Zhou Zhirou or General Chen Jiliang, are very talented people and have experienced actual combat. This is very important! The Air Force is not bad, after all. There are many opportunities for actual combat, but the navy, to put it bluntly, is just a showpiece now." Zhou Weiguo said, "General Chen Jiliang has rich combat experience. To be honest, I am relieved that the navy is in his hands. At least, in Shandong, In our independent division, there is enough room for him to display his talents. His arrival can increase the combat effectiveness of our independent division navy."
"I believe this." Liu Yuan nodded and said.
"I believe it too." Liu Zhihui also nodded, "So, I will definitely work hard to improve."
"Xiao Hui, the most important thing about the submarine is the wolf pack tactic I told you before. When the target is discovered, each ship will covertly pass through the gap or flank of the enemy's escort fleet, avoiding its fire barrier. , approaching the target. During the day, each ship must occupy favorable attack positions in all directions, hide under the water, and suddenly rise out of the water at night, while launching torpedoes at the target. From now on, your submarine formation has a mission, no matter what the means, Sinking the Japanese cruise ships and battleships will prevent the Japanese from transporting resources and troops."
"good!"
"But there is one thing. This tactic may have a greater initial effect. Once the Japanese pay attention to improving their radar systems on battleships, you will be in danger." Zhou Weiguo said.
"It's okay. It will take at least a while for the Japanese to react," Liu Zhihui said, "and this period of time is enough for us to attack the Japanese warships and cruise ships."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Anyway, pay attention to yourselves. You do this task first. When the time comes, you still need to train to coordinate the attack with the fleet."
"Well, I know all this." Liu Zhihui said, "Brother, don't worry."
"I'm not worried. However, Xiaohui, I want to tell you something. We Chinese will not fight the Chinese." Zhou Weiguo said, "If such a situation occurs, I will allow you to disobey orders on the battlefield. Of course, the puppet troops will not
Calculate."
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "To be honest, the Chairman of the Committee is not confident about me, so he came to these two generals. Now that the independent division, the Air Force has been expanded into a division, and the Navy has been expanded into a division, do I still have command authority?
This is a problem. According to the establishment, it is not there."
"I understand." Liu Zhihui frowned and nodded, "I will work hard."
"Yeah." Zhou Weiguo nodded and smiled, "By the way, speaking of which, you are not young anymore. How about it? Do you have a girl you like?"
"Brother, are you dancing too fast?" Liu Zhihui was speechless, "My brother is not even married."
"Okay, don't look at your brother. Your brother has someone he likes." Zhou Weiguo glanced at Liu Yuandao.
"How do you know this?" Liu Yuan asked in surprise.
"Hey, I can count!" Zhou Weiguo said with a smile, "Brother, you don't really plan to get married until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, do you? Then you will be in your thirties by then. What's more, the battlefield is dangerous.
You have to stay with the old Liu family as early as possible."
"You bastard." Liu Yuan said helplessly, "Dad and Xiao Ya, when exactly are you leaving?"
"In mid-August, when instructor Hansen left, I arranged for two special operations team members and a squad of soldiers to follow them and asked them to send a few of them to Sweden along the way." Zhou Weiguo said, "Wait until they are ready.
Yes, we will send a report."
Liu Yuan nodded and said, "I will apply to the organization soon to see if I can bring Comrade Cao Ying in before mid-August. By the way, we can register for marriage."
"Okay." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "In this case, Xiaohui, you have to hurry up."
"Hey, brother, you are so annoying! People who don't know better think you are a matchmaker!" Liu Zhihui pushed Zhou Weiguo out of the room and said, "Let's go!"
Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to shake his head with a smile and leave. When he returned to the room and told Xiao Ya about this, Xiao Ya smiled and said, "Indeed, what do you think of Miss Changyu?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "It's good, but Miss Chang Yu's background is not simple, so I don't know if the two of them can get along."
"I'll arrange for them to meet then."
"OK."

Wuhan
Okamura Neiji looked at the battle report at the end of the day. Although he was a little heartbroken, fortunately, there were still some results. Although the resistance of the national army was very strong, they still captured some positions. Xiaogan now only has one city.
Already.
"Your Excellency, Commander, is there a war in Xiaogan?"
"Yo Xi, they did a good job. However, the losses are relatively large. For safety reasons, please transfer the 3rd Division there as well. Cooperate well and capture Xiaogan quickly. Let the Chinese people know the consequences of violating the agreement.
"Okamura Neji said.
"Hi!"
Germany
"Your Majesty the Head of State, this is a telegram from the Empire of Japan."
"what did you say?"
"The Chinese betrayed the armistice agreement, and Zhou Weiguo raided them. Yantai, Weihai, and Qingdao in Shandong, China were captured by Zhou Weiguo."
Hitler raised his eyebrows, "The Japanese didn't respond?"
"The most important thing is that the Japanese warship was destroyed by an unknown navy. To be honest, the Japanese did not think the Chinese had this ability, so they suspected the cooperation of the United States."
"No, the United States has no reason to do this. I remember the previous deal with Zhou Weiguo. Didn't we also send a submarine there?"
"Yes, we have returned recently."
"When he comes back, let him come to see me."
"yes."
"Then we still have to investigate the matter about the Japanese warships."
"yes!"
…
Tianjin
"Ya Lu!" Shun Tada continued to analyze the intelligence. He still did not think that the incident at Qingdao Port was done by the independent division.
"Your Excellency, Commander! Important information!"
"Come in!"
"Hi!"
Tada Shun received the telegram. It was clearly a request for merit telegram from Zhou Weiguo, which clearly recorded the achievements of the independent division's naval forces.
