Chapter 1002 Can I present this gift?
Every year in the mountain city, around the month of the Lunar New Year...
Everyone was feeding the pig vigorously, hoping it would grow bigger and stronger so they could kill it with one chop.
And isn't the 14th Division in the present day in a similar situation?
Zhou Weiguo could have stopped this, but he didn't. What was he doing? He wanted the 14th Division to get more weapons and equipment so he could seize them all for his own use.
“But sir, there’s a problem here. The 14th Division is, after all, a main force division. They’re on the offensive, and even the mountain city army couldn’t stop them, let alone now that they’re on the defensive. In terms of defense, we are second to none.” It’s just that we used to disdain using such methods.
Asaka didn't understand what the butler meant. He took a deep breath and said, "Have you forgotten? He has poison gas bombs."
Strong defenses are useless against this thing, unless every member of the 14th Division is equipped with a gas mask. Unfortunately, the 14th Division was equipped with one, but they didn't wear it, which is a fatal mistake.
After closing the document, Asaka stood up, took off her military cap, and bowed her head sharply. "Let us be silent for a minute for the 14th Division's crushing defeat."
what……
The butler paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Master, aren't you going to get involved in this matter?"
管？
How should we manage this? Should we tell the 14th Division to stop demanding supplies, or should we tell them to quickly find a place to break out? As long as they are far from the Independent Brigade, they can succeed in any place.
If you do that, you'll lose the easy prize that's practically in his mouth. Instead of having a proper heart-to-heart talk with him, he'll be so arrogant he'll forget everything else.
"I can't control it; it's a decision made by the North China Area Army." It's not that I don't want to save them. It's that I can't save them myself. For the safety of Tokyo and to avoid too much infamy, I can only send them to their deaths.
Buzzing... Buzzing old man...
Another roaring sound came from afar.
Zhou Weiguo, who was discussing the situation with several people, got up and went into the courtyard.
A dozen or so fighter jets escorted seven or eight transport planes over.
Because they possessed anti-aircraft weapons, even though the enemy was flying very high, the ground troops still fired at them as instructed.
In short, they can give things, but not all of them; they must keep some for themselves.
"Which batch is this?" Zhou Weiguo asked, handing the binoculars to Zhao Shoutian.
Zhao Shoutian wasn't very clear about these things, and he was too lazy to remember, so he turned around and asked Jinxiu, who was playing cards with a few people under the eaves of the courtyard to pass the time. "Xiu'er, which batch is this?"
Jinxiu rolled her eyes. She and this man were good to each other in every way, and good to her too. There were no major problems, but a lot of minor ones. As the brigade commander's bodyguard, he should at least know these things.
But not only did he not know, he came to ask me instead.
"The fifth batch." I really wanted to grab his ear and ask him what he did all day besides eating.
The brigade commander doesn't know because he has many things to consider, but you still don't know what you're trying to do.
The fifth batch?
After taking a look at the approximate situation of the supplies the other side had obtained, Zhou Weiguo turned around and returned to the command post.
The group of people playing cards saw him go in without saying a word and knew that something serious had happened. They put down their cards and went into the command post to wait in their respective positions. Those who had nothing else to do went to the corner to load machine gun bullets, where there were many machine gun magazines that needed to be loaded.
After looking at the map for a while, Zhou Weiguo said, "We probably have enough supplies already, and the North China Front Army probably won't be airdropping any more supplies to them."
If we keep throwing it, it will become a powder keg.
"So, are we attacking?" Xiao Ya asked, pulling at her military uniform and putting her cap back on.
After looking at it for a while with his arms crossed, Zhou Weiguo asked, "Where is Tang Juntuan's 13th Army located?"
Two corps of Tang's army were blocking the Japanese troops that were moving south to provide support, but his reserve force, the 13th Army, was too involved this time and participated in the encirclement of the 14th Division.
This time, Tang Paopao didn't hesitate at all. Zhou Weiguo guessed that it must be because Commander Bai had said some harsh words, otherwise he wouldn't have taken action.
During the Battle of Xuzhou and the Battle of Taierzhuang, Commander Li didn't kill Tang Paopao because he had to consider other factors. But Commander Bai was a straightforward soldier. If you had met him back then, he would have chopped your head off several times over. He wouldn't have allowed you to eat with your head. What are you thinking?
The 13th Army deployed in the Xiaoniu Mountain area the day before yesterday, but they don't have much weaponry. Their heavy weaponry consists of only one field artillery battalion. Awen, are you planning to allocate some supplies to them?
Zhou Weiguo shook his head; "No, I have no such intention."
Tang Paopao is, after all, a member of the Central Army. Giving them this batch of supplies is like throwing good money after bad; they'll never get it back.
He has a genuine fear of insufficient firepower; without powerful weapons and equipment, he worries that he won't be able to defeat his opponent.
This is something ingrained in his bones, the kind that can't be easily destroyed. He can make do without rice, but without anything else, he will die.
When he returned from the sergeant school, he had already begun preparing to acquire weapons and equipment, aiming to transform the entire battalion and the following regiment into a force armed to the teeth.
He didn't care about other units; if the higher-ups didn't have money, he'd ask for it, and if they didn't have any, he'd steal it. Having finally achieved its current scale, how could he bear to give it all away to others? That would be ridiculous.
"So what do you mean?" Fang Shengli asked as he approached him.
Zhou Weiguo pointed to the area where the Japanese troops were located; "I'm wondering where the 14th Division will run away from if we attack here."
“It must be the 13th Army. If he goes to other places, it will be harder for him to escape.” Fang Shengli’s words made Zhou Weiguo hum in agreement. “I was just thinking about this issue. Now let’s talk about another issue. The war zone has mobilized about 200,000 troops to surround the 14th Division and the Setani Detachment. Do you think we can take down their division?”
The entire command center fell silent as everyone pondered this question.
Can we eat them?
"Can we create another miracle like Wanjialing?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhou Weiguo changed the subject.
In the Battle of Wanjialing, the 106th Division was nearly annihilated. Can the Fifth War Zone achieve the same result this time, eliminating the 14th Division and creating another great victory? Perhaps this would be a fitting tribute to the recent crackdown on corruption in the mountain city.
