I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 730 Zhou Weiguo's Latest Appointment

Liu Yuan: "He was afraid that Weiguo's identity would implicate his father, so he simply asked Wen Yibai to take action and bring the old man out from Suzhou.

Then he found the Eighth Route Army at Hutou Mountain and took Chen Yi away."

Zhou Weiguo smiled. He knew Hu Laoshi, a man who was decisive and ruthless.

Otherwise, Song Wenwan would not have sent him and the Eighth Division to Shandong.

As the last division of the Shanxi Guerrilla Division, they had less than 20,000 men when they left.

It is said that the number has now grown to more than 60,000 people. How could it have grown so fast without any means?

Take Chen Yi for example. They said they wanted to get the person out. I guess it was Hu Laoshi who sent people to snatch the person out.

After all this ordeal, Zhou Weiguo's arrogance was obviously weakened.

He asked the staff officer to take the three of them downstairs to rest first, while he stayed behind to continue the meeting.

Zhou Weiguo: "Ahem, thank you for the organization's concern for me.

If you have any tasks, please leave them to me. I will ensure that they are carried out properly."

Political Commissar Mo ignored Song Wenwan and Ren Jiuge who were making eyes at each other.

He pulled an envelope from his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper.

"Comrade Zhou Weiguo, this is the appointment given to you by Red Shaanxi."

Zhou Weiguo did not respond immediately, but looked at Song Wenwan first.

Song Wenwan said: "From now on, all appointments above the group army level will be made in our Gannan coalition.

They are both managed by the Shaanxi chief and me, so your appointment letter was issued by the chief."

Brother Ren Jiu: "Congratulations, you are the first one appointed by the chief, neither of us got a chance."

Zhou Weiguo: "Are we going to change our flag?"

Song Wenwan: "It's too early for us to change the flag, probably the earliest will be the year after next.

We haven't dealt with the Japanese yet, so now is not the time to change our flag.

Otherwise, the attendants of the capital will point their guns at us like crazy."

In fact, this was what Song Wenwan meant, because now was not the time to fall out with Peidu.

The war has no legitimate reason to start. Not only will the Japanese take advantage of the situation to rob us, but even the Chinese people will not agree to it.

Another thing is that now is the time to think.

People like them all come from high-class families, so none of their ideas can pass the test.

These people are usually relaxed, and if a special envoy suddenly comes, Song Wenwan is afraid that something might happen.

Political Commissar Mo: "According to the order of the Red Shaanxi-Northern Military Commission, Comrade Zhou Weiguo is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the armored group army.

Political Commissar Ding of a certain division was transferred to the Gannan Allied Forces and served as deputy political commissar and concurrently political commissar of the armored group army.

When he said this, Political Commissar Mo's regret also came to his mind.

When the armored army was established this time, he originally applied to northern Shaanxi to serve as the political commissar of the armored forces.

He has been in the rear area for four years, and he also wants to go out and fight the Japanese!

He proposed that Political Commissar Ding should take over his position as Chief Political Commissar.

Since Political Commissar Ding had also served as the chief political commissar at the earliest time, it was natural for him to take over.

However, the leaders of Red Northern Shaanxi believed that he had worked in Gansu for four years and was very familiar with the people there.

Moreover, it was very pleasant to cooperate with Chairman Cheng of Gansu Province.

Therefore, he was appointed to take charge of the rear area, and the leaders in northern Shaanxi were very supportive of this.

He went on to say: “Comrade Hao Dadan will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Armored Army.

This armored army group commanded by our party is composed of three armored corps.

Each armored corps is composed of an armored division, a motorized infantry division, and a logistics regiment.

All officers of the First Armored Army were appointed by Comrade Zhou Weiguo."

Zhou Weiguo was also surprised when he heard the appointment, as it was an absolute trust in him.

He joined the Party after arriving in Longshui, and has been a Party member for just over three years now.

Zhou Weiguo felt that with his qualifications, serving as the commander of an armored division was the limit.

Because the armored division is considered a strategic force, if not for the fact that he is the president of the Armored Forces Academy.

He didn't even dare to think about the position of commander of the armored division.

In short, in Zhou Weiguo's mind, he should not be the commander-in-chief of this army.

It should be held by those senior party members who have been in the party for more than ten years.

Zhou Weiguo really didn't expect that the leader of the Red Army in northern Shaanxi would have such a broad mind.

Looking at Zhou Weiguo's current state, Political Commissar Mo also knew what he was thinking.

"Comrade Weiguo, the leaders have already explained that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

You can command boldly without any worries. Political Commissar Ding will fully cooperate with you.

However, you still need to intensify your training as a new recruit. This place is not like the European battlefield, and there will be no armored cluster collisions for the time being.

Therefore, the three armored armies will attack separately from different directions.

The sooner we can get them to form an army and fight, the sooner we can drive the Japanese out of China."

Zhou Weiguo: "Please rest assured, leaders, I promise to complete the tasks assigned to me by the leaders.

I will definitely...wait, what three armored corps?

There are only two armies now, how can I have a third armored army?"

Looking at Song Wenwan and Ren Jiuge who had already walked to the door, Zhou Weiguo knew that he had been fooled again.

I have to work like a slave at the Armored Forces Academy and teach students.

But before he could retaliate against Song Wenwan, his happy event came.

The "wedding" of Comrade Zhou Weiguo and Chen Yi will be held in Longshui, and the date is set for noon on May 2nd.

Zhou Weiguo is the chief tactical instructor of the Gansu Theater Special Forces.

He has another even more remarkable identity: he is Mr. Zhou’s beloved son.

You should know that Mr. Zhou is no ordinary person. He is still alive and is an old member of the Tongmenghui.

Although Mr. Zhou has no real power, he has a lot of face.

Many elderly people in the government received invitations from Mr. Zhou.

He claimed that if these people had time, they might as well come to Longshui for a chat.

Chen Yi is Suo Wuxing's aunt's cousin and Mrs. Cheng's goddaughter.

As their witness, Song Wenwan has been helping Mrs. Cheng in Longshui and contacting wives of officials who can come to Longshui to watch the ceremony.

Even after the Japanese knew about this, they felt particularly relieved.

Only this Song "Sang" stayed in Longshui without moving before and after May Day.

Their May 1st sweep in North China would have been more likely to succeed.

The open wedding is attracting everyone's attention.

Then the May 1st sweep began, leaving the Chinese people feeling dazzled.

But in places where no one can see, the New Fourth Army has already begun to take action.

Taking advantage of the temporary lull in the war, they drew out a division of troops from the army and secretly entered the Gansu area.

This army is composed of returned overseas Chinese and many young students.

They will study in Tianmailing for a year, and after graduation they will become soldiers of the 3rd Armored Army, preparing for next year's counterattack.

Also transferred to the Tianmailing base was our Political Commissar Ding.

He was originally busy with the May 1st cleanup, but was transferred back to northern Shaanxi half a month in advance.

He thought this was the leader of northern Shaanxi, who wanted him to report on his work.

Just before the plane was about to take off, the pilot asked him to take a nap.

He was still thinking in his mind, it’s just a two-hour flight, why should he sleep?
