"This little guy is incredible. With more than 1,000 bandits, he wiped out an entire Japanese regiment!" the great man smoked his pipe.
"Yes, it's a pity. Otherwise, according to Comrade Liu Yuan, he is still very likely to join us."
"What's the pity? Fighting the Japanese is the same everywhere! As long as he can fight the Japanese, who else can stumble him?"
"Let's keep trying to win over each other. Even if we can't win over each other, we still need to maintain a good relationship. I think Comrade Qiu Ming's approach is very correct." The great man continued, "Moreover, now is the anti-Japanese national united front. As long as he resists Japan, he will not
Being a traitor is a good thing!"

"What? That brat is in the enemy-occupied area of Shandong now?" the chairman stood up in shock and said angrily.
"Yes, Principal!"
"Why doesn't he come back?"
"According to our speculation, in the Battle of Linyi, the Japanese used poison gas bombs. Since he escaped, there must not be many people. At that time, the surrounding areas of Xuzhou fell one after another. It is very likely that he was discovered by the Japanese, and he could only
To avoid being chased by the Japanese, there was really no way to escape." Dai Li analyzed, "It is said that when he arrived at the Eighth Road, there were only about 30 people left with him."
"Eh." The Chairman sighed, "Thanks to him, but luckily he didn't join the Eighth Route Army. Otherwise, I would be really sorry for Jiang."
"Since he is from Huangpu, he has no choice but to fall behind enemy lines. What's more, his father is a veteran of the Tongmenghui, so he can only accept the surrounding bandits."
"With more than 1,000 bandits, we annihilated a Japanese regiment. Although it was only a regiment of a mixed brigade, it was indeed very good. Let's do this. You arrange people and send them appointments to recruit all the bandits."
Let’s join that kid’s order.” The chairman waved his hand and said.
"Principal, he is an independent division, and some of them are in Suqian."
"That side is now cut off from the Central Plains, and I can't do anything about it." The chairman sighed, "Soon, the Japanese will definitely occupy all of Jiangsu."
"What about the Suqian part?"
"Just order them to stay in Suqian."
"yes!"

Finally, when Zhou Weiguo wiped out a Japanese regiment, his name appeared in front of the top leaders again. Zhou Weiguo did not know that because of some strange combination of circumstances, he did not join the Eighth Route Army, and Lao Jiang was very happy about this. But Lao Lao
What Jiang didn't know was that Zhou Weiguo was disappointed with the retreat of the National Army. Zhou Weiguo, who was familiar with history, certainly knew that the National Army was the main force in the War of Resistance and sacrificed millions of people on the frontal battlefield against Japan. But this number
Millions of people are not all well-trained soldiers. Many of the millions of national soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in history were farmers who just put down their farm tools and picked up their guns. During the battle to defend Nanjing,
Zhou Weiguo once wanted to reject such soldiers, but due to the corruption of the country, he finally accepted such soldiers. However, the casualties were heavy, and countless lives were lost for helping the war.
The troops in his hands have never been full since the independence brigade. Of course, this is also because he does not want untrained recruits. But he knows clearly that other troops in the national army have empty pay.
habit. Some people eat empty pay to make themselves rich, and some people eat empty pay to improve the treatment of soldiers, but such people are relatively rare, and they vary. And this is also the reason why Zhou Weiguo is disappointed with the national army.
one.
Before the July 7th Incident, the national army had only 1.7 million active soldiers, but later the national army suffered losses of more than 3.5 million. It was not easy for the national army to recruit new soldiers while persisting in the war of resistance. However, due to the corruption of officers and the chaos of the military system, there were
There is a huge gap, and even the Supreme Command is unable to determine the actual strength of the national army.
The problem of "short quotas" in the national army has been around for a long time, and it has become more and more serious after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. Even the so-called "No. 1 Division in the World" under Hu Zongnan is the same. Tao Cuiquan, who was in the 17th class of Huangpu Military Academy, once
Hu Zongnan served in the army. He recalled, "It is an open secret to have an empty name in the First Division. Based on the company's establishment of about 130 soldiers, the company has to pay about 10% of the salary; the battalion commander has to have 5% of the salary in each company.
There are no vacancies, so the vacancies in each company are only about 20 people; the problem is even more problematic for the units directly under the division. It is said that a division stationed in the suburbs of Xi'an has only 3,000 people." If Tao Cuiquan's statement is true, then the first
At least 1/6 of the soldiers in the division are missing.
Falsifying the number of soldiers means having the opportunity to embezzle military pay, so what military commanders fear most is that their troops will be downsized by the central government. When Li Zongren was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the fifth theater, he took advantage of this mentality of some people to win over them. In 1941, "Tang Enbo"
He wanted to eat up the Mi Wenhe Department of the 68th Army of the First War Zone (the remnants of Shi Yousan), forcing Mi Wenhe to defect to the Fifth War Zone. "Li Zongren still retained his original organization (actually only one division of troops), which made Mi Wenhe grateful.
"I am so old that I burst into tears." As a result, Mi Wenhe could continue to receive an army's military pay from the central government.

June 25, 1938
"What? Another regiment of Japanese soldiers came?" Zhou Weiguo stood up and asked Zhang Ruikuan.
"Yes! And the route is the same as last time!" Zhang Ruikuan replied, "An hour ago, the Japanese were less than 5 miles away from our first position."
"In this case, it is definitely too late to go to the first defensive position now." Zhou Weiguo said, "Ruikuan, you immediately send an order. The first and second battalions will take all the brothers to the second defensive position. The special forces team will assist in the defense! In addition,
Bring all the equipment in the warehouse, don't skimp on ammunition, and be sure to suppress the Japanese with firepower."
"yes!"
…
The second defensive position is 8 miles away from Qingfeng Village, on two hills.
If the Japanese want to attack Qingfeng Village, they must pass under those two hills, but those two hills have become the best areas for defensive positions.
…
"Xiao Ya, you can stay at home peacefully this time. I will ask Monk and Zhao Sheng to stay and protect you." Zhou Weiguo looked at the frowning Xiao Ya and said softly.
"Okay." Xiao Ya forced a smile and replied, "Then you must be careful and come back."
"Um."
Xiao Ya naturally knows the current situation in Qingfeng Village. She has been with Zhou Weiguo for a long time. She also knows the concept of 700 people versus 4000 people. But she can't stop it, and now because she is pregnant, she can't keep up with the battlefield. She can
What he did was to accept Zhou Weiguo's arrangement and make Zhou Weiguo feel at ease.
"I'm going." After Zhou Weiguo said these words, he led the special forces members out of Qingfeng Village and rushed to the second defensive position without looking back.
He didn't expect the Japanese to come so quickly. There was little chance of winning this battle. After all, there were too few people in Qingfeng Village, which was a big problem. However, with the special forces in hand, everything was hard to predict. Moreover, it was already...
It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and today's battle will end in more than 3 hours at most.
