Chapter 1184 He Wants to Eat Up One of My Divisions
Can you do it yourself?
Zhou Weiguo looked out the window. The houses here were all small and gray, seemingly blending into the landscape of Yiyang.
"I don't know about that, but I've long heard that the people of the Northwest are known for their fierce and untamed nature. If the common people are like that, imagine how tough it is for them to own guns."
The military conference was held in this command post.
The entire command post consisted of only five or six rooms.
Zhou Weiguo had already coordinated the entire area, placing one section to the east and another to the west, and deployed the entire command post. The largest room on the battlefield was the operations room, which displayed maps of the area and the surrounding region, approximately 100 kilometers away from the enemy. The maps showed reconnaissance conducted by two divisions and scouts.
The enemy's troop deployment is already shown on the map.
Zhou Weiguo, dressed in military uniform, sensed something was amiss when he looked at the enemy's troop deployment.
"That's strange." After looking at the deployment, Kuroki Ichiro and Sano Tadayoshi turned to Zhou Weiguo and asked, "Did the scouts make a mistake?"
A division of troops is deployed in this area of nearly four kilometers, with tanks in the middle.
Is he planning a direct confrontation?
Even if we break through head-on, we should at least distinguish between first, second, and third, but the problem is, there isn't one.
"Let's push it over flat?" Kuroki Ichiro said.
Fang Shengli, arms crossed, glanced at them and said, "They didn't even give us a second glance."
"Never mind them. This approach is advantageous for our attack." Zhou Weiguo turned to look at Xiao Ya; "Has the order to convene a military conference been issued?"
"The order has been issued; it will begin tomorrow morning."
"Alright, the food is ready. Now, let's see who doesn't come to eat."
The next morning, Zhou Weiguo, dressed in military uniform, arrived early at the conference room to wait.
Not long after, Wang Qi, the commander of the Fifth Battalion, the commander of the Cavalry Division, and the commanders of the other two infantry divisions arrived at the venue, but the commander of the Independent Division was the only one who did not come.
The atmosphere in the room was oppressive. The three men kept glancing towards the door. As colleagues, they felt they could give these people a hard time, but the fact that the military meeting hadn't been called was not a matter of giving them a hard time, but rather a matter of disobeying orders.
Something bad is probably going to happen.
Several people looked at Zhou Weiguo above, his face expressionless, and they couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"In the independent division, have him come to the command post immediately for a meeting. Remember, use plaintext calls."
Wang Qi frowned and asked, "Isn't it inappropriate to make a call in plain text?"
"That's exactly what I want. I want the other side to know that our forces here are fragmented."
Not long after Asaka Shurei left, she came to Zhou Weiguo's side; "There was no response."
Hehehe...
Zhou Weiguo laughed and looked down at the other three division commanders. "The Independent Division has more than 8,000 men who do not obey orders. This means betrayal. I don't think such a force can be organized into any structure. What do you think, gentlemen?"
What's the meaning?
This is an attack on the Independent Division.
Are you kidding me? Zhou Weiguo only has a brigade here. He wants to wipe out a division? That's a division, not just a regiment.
Do they not have any fighting ability?
“Sir, the commander of the Independent Division, Ma Hong, is a rough man. Don’t take him seriously.” One of them offered an explanation, but it was completely insincere.
"Sir, the other party is a division commander."
……
Wang Qi remained silent. As an air force officer, he didn't have much say in this matter, but he knew that disobeying orders in the face of battle would throw the entire command system into chaos.
"Should we deploy our air force?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head; "It's only a little over eight thousand people. There's no need for your air force to intervene; I can handle it myself."
He turned to look at the three division commanders sitting there; “After the battle, you can distribute the prisoners yourselves.”
The few people who were about to say something immediately fell silent. Their forces were also small; giving these men to them would greatly enhance their strength.
"Yes," the three answered in unison.
Seeing that the three agreed, Zhou Weiguo tapped the table; "Let the first and second battalions, as well as the anti-aircraft gun company, take action."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and pointed to the house; "I hope to receive good news when I wake up."
The others were stunned.
In their view, this should have involved the entire brigade, but they only deployed two infantry battalions.
Did they mishear?
The Independent Division's garrison was less than four kilometers from Zhou Weiguo's command post, and they assembled here earlier than the Independent Brigade.
More than 8,000 people are scattered throughout this village, which is neither too big nor too small.
In the command post, Ma Hong drank strong liquor and ate a lamb leg, completely ignoring the advice of his chief of staff beside him.
"General, no matter what, they are still members of the Central Army, and they still have to attend the military conference."
"What are they going there for? Our Northwest Army, when did it become the Central Army's place to point fingers at us?"
Ma Hong's indifference forced the chief of staff to go out and make a phone call to a few others, hoping they could put in a good word for him.
He knew the reputation of the Independent Brigade; it was a combat force separated from the 74th Army, and its fighting power was extremely formidable. Whether in the Fifth War Zone or the Fifth Military Region, it was renowned for its prowess.
He didn't think that a force capable of directly confronting a Japanese brigade would be cowards.
He hadn't even reached the telephone booth yet.
Boom boom boom... Boom boom boom...
A deafening explosion rang out. He turned around blankly and asked, "What happened?"
The people around looked at each other, bewildered; they had no idea what had happened.
The chief of staff quickly climbed onto the roof. What came into view was an artillery position in the distance, and Central Army soldiers dressed in blue-gray uniforms and wearing black steel helmets, advancing towards their garrison led by several trucks.
"Immediately inquire about their purpose. Also, call the command center right away and ask them why they launched an attack on our unit."
The two brightly colored characters for "rebels" made the chief of staff's head buzz.
How did they become rebels?
The chief of staff looked down at the two words of response and immediately dialed several other numbers, knowing that those people knew what was going on.
Unfortunately, when the call was connected, everyone gave the same answer: they didn't follow orders. What else could they be but rebels?
Something terrible has happened.
The chief of staff ran quickly toward Ma Hong's room.
Ma Hong had already come out. He waited for the chief of staff to come up to him and asked, "Are they going to eat us up?"
The chief of staff nodded, feeling somewhat stifled.
He harbored some resentment towards this damned person; the commander-in-chief had already given orders that matters concerning the nation should not be taken too far.
"He wants to wipe out my entire division?"
