Chapter 141: The Chief Delegates Powers
As the "God of War", the division commander's vision and strategy are definitely one of the best.
After listening to the introduction of Staff Zheng, two rays of light shot out of his eyes and answered with admiration: "Zhou Cheng is doing a good job!"
"Dividing the military achievements to the headquarters can not only change the area to a large number of weapons, ammunition and funds, but also allow the commander to bear the pressure from the Japanese and puppet troops, hide behind and make a fortune in silence. It's cunning enough!"
"The division commander is amazing!" Staff Officer Zheng flattered Xiaoxiao.
"I specifically asked Zhou Cheng about this matter, and his statement was exactly the same as what you said just now."
The political commissar nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and continued to ask with expectations: "This is the first big fortune, what about the second one?"
The commander also showed a puzzled expression, and he also wanted to see what kind of miracles this young man he had never met would create.
"The second big fortune is related to the Zhengtai Railway!" Staff Zheng quickly reported.
"In order to solve the problem of the troops' ammunition, Comrade Zhou Cheng dispatched a reinforcement company to Yangquan and intercepted a military lineup that transported weapons and ammunition to Taiyuan. Not only did he seize a large amount of weapons, ammunition and medicine, but he also blew up two railway bridges, causing the Zhengtai Railway to be interrupted for at least four days."
"A large part of the medicines submitted to the division headquarters by Comrade Zhou Cheng were seized from the military."
The political commissar suddenly showed a sudden realization on his face: "No wonder the Japanese on the Zhengtai line went crazy a few days ago and looked for an army called the Railway Guerrillas. We thought that this railway guerrillas were local armed forces formed by the Jinsui Army, and it turned out that it did not exist at all."
"The culprit of truly intercepting the army and destroying the Zhengtai Railway is Zhou Cheng!"
"Now you understand everything. Teacher, you are right. Comrade Zhou Cheng's development can indeed pose a huge threat to the Zhengtai Railway."
"As long as the front line is in need, we can cut off the Zhengtai Railway through Zhoucheng at any time."
Staff General Zheng continued to report: "Chief, Comrade Zhou Cheng has some words for me to bring to you. Although it sounds a bit ruthless and even a bit of a blow to the morale of the army, I think it makes a lot of sense. I don't know if I should say it?"
"Say!" The commander ordered without hesitation.
"If you dare to give up your military achievements and replace them with more practical weapons and ammunition, and make a fortune in silence, such people will definitely have different ideas and may inspire us. If you say everything he asked you to bring, it doesn't matter whether it is right or not."
"Yes, Chief!" Staff General Zheng no longer hesitated.
"Comrade Zhou Cheng said: The national-salvation army formed by the Jinsui Army behind enemy lines cannot last long: as many as one year or as few as half a year, they will be eliminated by the Japanese, or directly surrender to the Japanese as traitors."
"He also gave several reasons: most of the officers of the National Salvation Army who entered the enemy's back were mediocre talents who could not survive in the rear. Even if there were talents, they would use positional warfare to fight the Japanese and could not hold on for too long."
"The Japanese and puppet troops will definitely deal with them in a two-pronged manner, destroying them through military operations, and tempting them through sugar-coated shells on the other hand."
"As several factors are added together, there are definitely only a handful of national rescue troops who can survive behind enemy lines, and there is not even a single one..."
The division commander was silent: "Political Commissar, it seems that I underestimate Comrade Zhou Cheng a little. His analysis was so sharp that he could see at first glance that the bad situation the National Salvation Army is facing now. Is it really a fearful young man?"
No matter what grudges the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi Sui Army had in the past, they were all Chinese troops under the united front and China's national defense force. As a friendly army, they would definitely not be able to watch them be killed by the Japanese and puppet troops.
The political commissar also agreed with Zhou Cheng's analysis and hesitated for a while and asked: "Teacher Commander, if they learn guerrilla warfare, can they survive behind enemy lines?"
"If I remember correctly, the Jinsui Army has already started to do this. Not only did we draw a large number of battalion-level officers to our Eighth Route Army for exchanges and learn about guerrilla warfare experience, we also reported guerrilla warfare training classes in the rear and asked us Eighth Route Army cadres to teach them."
"No..." Staff Zheng blurted out.
The division commander was stunned for a moment. He was about to speak just now. When he saw Staff Zheng talking, he stopped decisively, wanting to hear what else was amazing about Zhou Cheng.
Staff Officer Zheng smiled awkwardly, and he could see that he had just snatched the words.
The teacher waved his hand without any worries: "Continue and say everything you want to say!"
"Yes, Chief!" Chief Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade Zhou Cheng said that even if we open our arms and teach the Jinsui Army to fight guerrilla warfare, they can only learn one surface and cannot learn the essence of guerrilla warfare."
"If you want to fight the Japanese behind enemy lines through guerrilla warfare, you must have a mass base and need the support of the people. This trick is something that the Jinsui Army cannot learn no matter what."
"If there is no mass base and no support from the people, they will not be able to survive even if they fight wars!"
"Well said!" The commander praised again.
"Political Commissar, after hearing what Staff Zheng said just now, I want to see this kid."
After sighing, he turned his attention to Staff Zheng again: "Comrade Zhou Cheng said something amazing, and he said it all in one breath, so that the political commissar and me and me could also see it carefully."
Staff Zheng was really happy to see that the division commander was really happy, and repeated Zhou Cheng's words like a bamboo tube poured beans: "He also said that after the pacification of the National Rescue Army was killed by the Japanese and puppet troops, he would carry the banner of the National Rescue Army as the deputy commander of the National Rescue Army, and continue to fight with the Japanese and puppet troops under the hat of the National Rescue Army."
"It is also said that for the sake of face, the Jinsui Army will definitely support him vigorously and win him over. At that time, the National Salvation Army will definitely receive a lot of support from the war zone, continue to grow and grow, control and pacify all places except the county town, and trap the Japanese in the city."
"Then the National Rescue Army can vigorously develop the economy outside the city, develop military industry, build the Pang Ding into the logistics base of the surrounding Eighth Route Army, and provide them with food, funds, weapons and ammunition until we defeat the Japanese and puppet troops."
"When the time is right, the National Salvation Army is officially reorganizing the Eighth Route Army and returning to our own troops."
The teacher did not immediately contact him, and he was thinking about how feasible this idea was.
If it really happens, it will have a great impact on the ambush situation.
Two minutes later, he suddenly spoke: "Comrade Zhou Cheng leaked the Zhengtai Railway."
"Build the Punishment into our rear base and intercept the army from time to time. It is no problem for the National Salvation Army commanded by Zhou Cheng to support a division of our Eighth Route Army."
"If our Eighth Route Army could have a main division with no worries about logistics supplies, endless weapons and ammunition, and concentrate on training, this division would definitely sweep all the Japanese and puppet troops in the southeast of Shanxi."
"Political Commissar, I think Comrade Zhou Cheng's idea is very good and very bold. We should fully support it."
The political commissar nodded: "It's really bold enough!"
"We only thought that Comrade Zhou Cheng could threaten the Zhengtai Railway at any time when pacifying and developing, but he didn't expect that he had the bold idea of developing pacifying into the Eighth Route Army Logistics Base!"
"If you have any ideas, you should do it. I agree that the division department fully supports Comrade Zhou Cheng in this regard, and it doesn't matter if you lose."
The division commander nodded cautiously and looked at the commander Zheng: "Old Zheng, you have met Comrade Zhou Cheng and know him. From today on, you will be responsible for all the matters in contacting Comrade Zhou Cheng in the division headquarters."
"The underground party and the surrounding Eighth Route Army units must cooperate with Comrade Zhou Cheng unconditionally. You are responsible for coordinating this matter."
"The National Salvation Army has developed well, and its impact and role on the battle situation is no less than that of a main force, a main brigade."
Staff Zheng was already filled with joy.
The commander of the division commander told himself directly that from now on, he and Zhou Cheng had the right to act arbitrarily in pacifying the command of the division headquarters of the National Salvation Army from now on.
Hurry up and promise: "Thank you, Chief... these gifts?"
The political commissar put away the list and replied: "I accepted it on behalf of the division headquarters and told Comrade Zhou Cheng on my behalf, thanking him for his great gift."
"With these things, the division headquarters can not only build another reinforcement battalion to save the lives of hundreds of seriously injured people, but also allow the soldiers to improve their food."
"The division headquarters is looking forward to the next big gift he sends to the division headquarters."
The commander said, "Tell Comrade Zhou Cheng: Do it well and do it boldly. If there is any major problem in the middle that you can't control it, just ask the division headquarters for instructions."
"The conditions in the division headquarters are too poor now. When the development is good in the future, try to give him a radio station that can directly contact the division headquarters."
At the command of the Japanese garrison brigade pacified, more than a dozen lieutenants and officers gathered in the conference room, waiting for Akiyama Nakasa to come in.
"Sir, stand up..."
A voice suddenly came at the door of the conference room. More than a dozen officers stood up at the same time, and their faces returned to seriousness at this moment. Then they saw Akiyama Nakasa, who was carrying the rank of Nakasa, strode in.
"Sit down!" Akiyama Nakasa ordered while sitting down.
Then he turned his attention to several squadron captains: "I want to know the current situation of the garrison, and the first squadron begins to report..."
"Hi..." The captain of the first squadron quickly stood up, afraid that the first fire of Akiyama's new official taking office would come to him.
"There are currently 86 Imperial Army left in the First Squadron, of which 28 were temporarily drawn from the baggage team and are undergoing training, with a vacancies of nearly 100."
"There is also a lack of a lieutenant deputy captain, a lieutenant captain, 11th, sergeant and commander Cao."
Akiyama Nakasa was very disappointed. He originally wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and arranged two of his own people to be the squadron leader. However, the other party's answer was just right, and he could not find a reason to scold them.
After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision: "I bring a few lieutenant officers, and after the meeting, I will fill all your vacancy."
"Give you ten days, the troops must be mixed and formed to form combat power!"
The captain of the first squadron replied in a sigh: "Please rest assured, please be sure of the task!"
The remaining squadron leaders were reminded by the deputy captain, knowing that the captain came from the Kwantung Army and was disciplined, and all answered in a proper manner.
After reporting all the reports, Akiyama Nakasa did not find the goal of killing the chicken to warn the monkey, so he could only turn his attention to the heads of several departments of the headquarters.
"Information head? Who is in charge of intelligence? I need to know the latest situation of the National Salvation Army. The more detailed the better."
"He is the chief officer, and I am the head of the intelligence officer of the garrison." The intelligence officer stood up with guilt.
