Chapter 997 Confusion, He Doesn't Seem to Be This Kind of Person After All
"The bold get rich while the timid starve. That's the situation we're facing now. Should we take a gamble or back down? I think anyone here would choose the former."
It's too tragic. Both the 14th Division and the Setani Detachment have suffered humiliation in the past, and the one who brought them that humiliation is the current Independent Brigade.
Does it matter whether the independent brigade can be annihilated or not?
The fundamental thing is that what everyone needs to do now is to destroy the Fifth War Zone Command Headquarters.
If we eliminate them, the honor of the entire division and the Setani Detachment will be enhanced.
This is not just a one-sided promotion of collective honor, but also an improvement for individuals. Perhaps, not only will everyone's military rank be promoted accordingly, but they may also be summoned by His Majesty.
Such a scene is very rare.
“Okay, I agree with you, but once Tang’s army sets up an encirclement, we must retreat quickly to avoid being caught up with.”
A division and a detachment launched an attack.
The Guangxi army was completely unable to stop them.
The distress telegram was delivered to the theater command immediately.
Little Zhuge has returned from Tang's army.
After he arrived, he didn't want people to say that he had interfered with the command of the Central Army, so he only left Tang Paopao with one sentence.
When you are surrounded this time, you can find any reason not to participate, but after the battle, no matter what reasons you have or what merits you have, it will cost you your head.
When "Little Zhuge" became famous, Tang Paopao was still nowhere to be found. Therefore, Tang Paopao repeatedly assured that he would definitely carry out the orders of the war zone command.
After all, in the eyes of Shancheng, Little Zhuge, Principal Zhang, and Lord Kong are the three great killing gods.
They have issued countless orders for executions; the documents alone could probably pile up into a mountain.
"We can't hold on any longer. This is the second telegram already." Commander Li handed the telegram to the strategist next to him.
After glancing at it, Xiao Zhuge said, "After all, they are fighting against an entire division and a detachment of the enemy. It's normal that they can't withstand the enemy's attack."
"Their goal is probably to crush this force and then launch a large-scale flanking maneuver against us. Do you have a plan for dealing with this?" Commander Li knew very well that the man before him was far superior to him in commanding operations.
"Then let them come over. Also, have the independent brigade prepare so that once they arrive, we can quickly infiltrate behind them and make our deployments."
Commander Li followed his gaze and smiled, "You don't seem to trust Tang's army."
"It's not that I don't trust Tang Juntuan, but he's far inferior to Zhou Weiguo's Independent Brigade in terms of weaponry and equipment. Moreover, in terms of cunning and treachery, he can't compare to Zhou Weiguo. He can't stop the enemy's bandits, but he can stop the defending troops coming from the north to reinforce from the south."
As soon as night fell, an emergency order pulled Zhou Weiguo out of bed.
Without even putting on his coat, he took the telegram from Ruth, read it, and said, "Notify the communications platoon to immediately inform all regiments to assemble and head towards Xiaoniuzhuang. Also, notify the engineer battalion to move with the Second Regiment to construct defensive positions. Artillery and tank officers, go ahead and find your positions."
"Shouldn't we notify them by radio?" The troops are scattered across several regiments. If we notify them, it will probably take an hour, and the troops won't be able to move together. Ruth was a little worried that it would cause chaos.
Xiao Ya had already gotten up. After handing Zhou Weiguo his military uniform, she smiled at Ruth and said, "We'll set off tonight. There's no need for everyone to stay together. Moreover, splitting up will prevent the Japanese from finding out. Besides, the Japanese have been monitoring our radio all along, so it's easy for them to discover it. Therefore, using the communications platoon is the most suitable option."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." After understanding Zhou Weiguo's intention, Ruth closed the folder and went to make arrangements. Zhou Weiguo turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ya, who was not wearing a coat, and said, "It's still early. We probably won't be able to leave until morning. You can rest for a while."
Xiao Ya turned around and went to the clothes rack where the military uniforms were placed, then took the coat and put it on.
Zhou Weiguo glanced outside. It was windy outside, and it might get cold in the middle of the night. He walked over and took the cloak, draping it over Xiao Ya's shoulders. "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"No. Xiaoniuzhuang is the only way the Japanese army can get through. There will definitely be a bloody battle here. I need to go to Xiaoyu and ask her to make arrangements as soon as possible and to transfer the personnel who are ready to go to the front line."
After fastening her cloak, she said, "I won't be going with you. I'll be setting off with Xiaoyu and the others. You should get some more sleep. If a fight breaks out in Xiaoniuzhuang, you might not have time to sleep."
Zhou Weiguo naturally knew, and he nodded; "Okay, I'll have Shoutian go over there."
Xiao Ya shook her head; "Shou Tian is with you, I'll take Gui Fang and Xiao Yue there."
As she spoke, she tied Zhou Weiguo's clothes up and said, "You go to sleep first, I can go by myself."
Xiaoniuzhuang is located at the foot of a hill that is neither too big nor too small.
The entire hill is shaped like the Chinese character "人" (ren).
When Zhou Weiguo arrived with the regimental headquarters the next day, the field hospital and the regimental headquarters had already been set up.
I'd only been inside for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Tian Jing came over from the radio station; "Weiguo, the 14th Division is advancing."
"Hmm." Zhou Weiguo put down his teacup and stood up with some surprise: "How could it be so fast?"
Fang Shengli and Sano Tadashi looked up and looked at the hospital. Fang Shengli then said, "This shouldn't be the case. We just arrived here."
The engineers arrived last night and started digging the position. They haven't even dug out a third of it yet, and they've already come up here.
"You're scared of being beaten, aren't you?" Lying on the bed piled with ammunition boxes, Takeshita Shun turned his head and said this before sitting up and said, "Should I go blow up those bridges or plant some landmines?"
The enemy must have gotten wind of it that Xiaoliuzhuang had been occupied by the Independent Brigade. They definitely want to withdraw quickly, since there's another army corps right behind the Independent Brigade.
If they don't get out before the defenses here are repaired, they won't be able to get out again.
Zhou Weiguo has not yet decided whether or not to do this.
Jinxiu also came over from the radio and said, "Brigade Commander, we have received news from the Second Division that the Japanese air force took off ten minutes ago, and it is very likely that they are coming for us."
Zhou Weiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket.
After silently lighting the candle, he walked to the door and squatted down without saying a word.
Takeshita Shun's gaze had been following him as he moved, and when he saw him stop, he asked in a daze, "Old Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
For the first time, he actually saw such a bewildered look in Zhou Weiguo's eyes.
Could it be that the Japanese army's reaction this time was too much for him to handle?
He... isn't that kind of person.
