Zhou Weiguo squinted his eyes and studied, "It's not rude to come and not return. You can't do it. Let the Japs go back happily. Then, the Japs will still come to trouble us next time."
"You." Liu Yuan finally understood what Zhou Weiguo meant. The Japanese want to go like this, but of course they can't, so they come at you and beat me. I have to beat you too. "How?"
"To the west, that is, in the Shangqiu area, we have defeated two divisions. The Japanese defense must be empty. We can take it and connect it with Kaifeng." Zhou Weiguo thought for a while, "This is just a trivial matter. To the north is the Japanese Guandong.
Army, it is impossible to ask the Soviets to take action at this time. The Soviets were beaten by the Germans again..."
Liu Yuan could only sigh. The situation on the Soviet battlefield in May was indeed not good. He originally thought that the Soviet Union had a chance to counterattack, but in the end, it was still beaten to a pulp by the German army.
"Besides, the Kwantung Army is very powerful. After fighting in the past few days, the battle losses have also been reported. The Kwantung Army is slightly better than us."
Zhou Weiguo still had some regrets in his tone. He didn't expect that after two years, the Kwantung Army would still be slightly stronger than the Independent Division. You know, the Independent Division is on the defensive side. "So, as far as the north is concerned, we will stay put for the time being.
"
Liu Yuan also nodded, "What do you mean?"
"Well, to the south." Zhou Weiguo continued, "Nanjing is too far away from us. In the past few days, it has been relatively difficult to defend Nanjing. If the victory had not been arranged in advance, Nanjing would have been defeated."
"What do you mean? Take Xuzhou?" Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes. Xuzhou is a big city in Jiangsu. Before, the battle of Xuzhou broke out. It is adjacent to Shandong. "But Xuzhou has a lot of Japanese troops."
Zhou Weiguo curled up his lips and said, "But when he attacked us, part of his troops were still eaten by us. There were three to four thousand men."
"so?"
"Let Leng Yan take three regiments, plus Dingtian's second reserve brigade and Tangshan's third reserve brigade, and go to Xuzhou together."
"Take a turn?"
"It's like flexing our muscles and letting the Japanese see that we still have so many troops. Of course, if we can have a chance to capture Xuzhou, that would be even better."
“Isn’t it necessary to capture Xuzhou?”
"The siege of Xuzhou Gaocheng is so easy to win." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "However, Lianyungang can really be taken back."
Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows, Lianyungang, "What are you planning?"
"It's nothing, just ask Leng Yan, Ding Tian and Tang Shan to come over." Zhou Weiguo laughed.
"There is really nothing we can do against you." Liu Yuan had no choice but to arrange for someone to send the telegram.
"When they come, I'll talk about it together."
"Alright alright."
After seeing Liu Yuan's reaction, Zhou Weiguo was helpless. Some plans were just ideas now. Whether they could be realized or not depended on how his men would act and how the Japanese would react. He could not guarantee that the Japanese would be fooled.
…
Chongqing
"Committee, there is no one in charge of the Independent Division now. Zhou Weiguo has died, and many senior leaders of the Independent Division have been assassinated. Should we send someone to take over?" Someone spoke and looked at the chairman of the committee.
The Chairman frowned. He knew the inside story. The Independent Division captured two Japanese divisions in one fell swoop. It must be said that the plan of the Independent Division was very successful. However, during this period of time, they also attacked in the direction of the Japanese army, but they could not
There was no result, which made him very angry.
"Commissioned, the power of the independent division is too powerful and must be controlled!"
"If they vote for the Japanese, what will happen to the party and the country..."
Chairman Jiang looked at these people, frowned, and then looked at the one who was as immovable as a mountain, and sighed slightly, "Okay, on the independent division side, even if we intervene, there is nothing we can do. Now, we still have to do it."
Think carefully about how to fight the Japanese!"
"Commission!"
…
"So, the Independent Division is now leaderless, and so many comrades have been assassinated! Although the Japanese attack has finally retreated, it cannot be without a decision-maker for a day!" A middle-aged man in a blue-gray military uniform frowned, "What if the time comes?
If things get messy, it will be really bad.”
"Don't worry, we have already sent someone there."
"ah?"
"So fast?"
"who is it?"
Everyone discussed, but received no response.
…
Zhou Weiguo naturally didn't know that there were many people who wanted to create an independent division. However, although he and Liu Yuan did not show up now, it did not mean that the brigade commander below did not know the situation.
"Master's seat!"
"Master's seat!"
"Master's seat!"
Leng Yan, Lei Dingtian, and Tangshan hurried over after receiving the order. It took them an entire afternoon to gather in Jinan.
As for why telegrams were not used to convey orders, it was because if telegrams were used, the plans might be leaked.
For safety reasons, Zhou Weiguo still wanted to give him some advice, otherwise, once the plan was leaked, it would not work. Nowadays, Li Weimin is in control of all affairs of the Independent Division. However, in fact, Zhou Weiguo is still in control.
"Here, take a seat." Zhou Weiguo asked several people to sit down, "I'm calling you here this time because I have a task for you."
"What's the mission?"
"Fight Xuzhou." Zhou Weiguo smiled.
"What? Attack Xuzhou?" The three of them looked at each other. Xuzhou was heavily guarded by Japanese troops and there were people there. It would be very difficult to fight.
"Yes." Zhou Weiguo nodded, "However, at the beginning, we did not fight Xuzhou, but here!" Pointing to the map, Zhou Weiguo smiled.
Several people narrowed their eyes.
"Master, what do you mean, surround the spot and call for reinforcements?" Leng Yan said.
"It depends on how you behave!" Zhou Weiguo said, "Suqian and Lianyungang are not as powerful as Xuzhou. First of all, you need to quickly break into Suqian and surround it with troops."
"Suqian is between Xuzhou and Lianyungang, and the Japanese will not leave it alone. Therefore, the Japanese will definitely send reinforcements! And because Suqian is between these two places, reinforcements may be sent from both places!"
"Master, what do you mean?"
"After encircling the point for reinforcements, Lianyungang should be able to be captured! As for Xuzhou, you three will decide based on the battlefield situation. This attack will be under Leng Yan's command. At the same time, I will send a chariot brigade to assist you."
"Yes!" When the three of them heard this, they immediately became energetic! Originally, defense matters were handled by the standing brigade. As a reserve brigade, they also wanted to go to the battlefield! However, there were not many opportunities. The reserve brigade was in Caoxian County.
There was a big victory over there, which made several other brigades of theirs anxious. Now, they finally have a chance! How can they not be happy!
"Remember, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly! Don't just stick to the plan I gave you, do you understand?"
"yes!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, drove the three people away, and sat down on his own. This time, he would let his subordinates think about the pros and cons and judge the situation by themselves. If power should be delegated, it should be delegated!
At the same time, you have to let others see that the independent division feels a little chaotic.
