Chapter 815 Win or Lose, We Are All Losers
Zhou Weiguo seldom participated in the meetings of the Ninth War Zone Command Headquarters, but he also knew that people from the Second Department seldom participated.
Not to mention, this time it was Fourth Brother who participated personally.
Deng Yaoxian also saw Zhou Weiguo, and he nodded slightly as a greeting.
Commander Bai glanced at Deng Yaoxian, who was standing next to him, and motioned him to lower his head before saying, "That guy probably knows more about the situation than you do. After the meeting, you should stay and listen. It will be helpful for your subsequent intelligence and actions."
"Yes." Deng Yaoxian was highly regarded by the Second Division, but he didn't dare act presumptuously in front of Commander Bai. Even Boss Dai couldn't do that. If he angered this guy, he would kill him. There was no way the old man would really bother with this commander who controlled hundreds of thousands of Gui troops for Boss Dai.
It was indeed a troop mobilization. The Independent Regiment was not within the scope of the mobilization and continued to serve as a reserve security force, but it had a new appointment as the commander of the Hengyang City Defense Security Command.
This position is the city guard officer in wartime, and he will also assist in handling the public security work in Hengyang City on weekdays.
Zhou Weiguo is the chief executive and Fang Shengli is the deputy, but Fang Shengli will handle most of the work.
After the meeting, everyone left to prepare. Zhou Weiguo, Yu Huohuo and Deng Yaoxian followed Commander Bai to the office.
"We are all familiar with each other, so there is no need to be polite. Just sit down." Commander Bai gestured for everyone to sit down, and then his eyes fell on Zhou Weiguo who was sitting next to Yu Huohuyou.
"You went there and should have come into contact with the people there. Tell me, did the Japanese army make any major moves?"
Zhou Weiguo hummed and looked at Deng Yaoxian across from him. "Fourth brother, what did you find out? Let me see your methods."
"Our methods are relatively mild, probably not as many as yours. But since you've said so, I'll naturally tell you everything I know."
At this point, he began, "The Japanese army has decided to requisition food again, perhaps in retaliation for the failure of the previous operation. At the same time, news has come from Tokyo that the Japanese army has issued a document ordering all regions to increase canned food production."
Commander Bai nodded. "That's why I'm mobilizing our forces."
"Yes," Zhou Weiguo nodded. "The Japanese army's plan is to prepare one or two months' worth of military rations within three months in preparation for the decisive battle."
"Decisive battle." Chief of Staff Wu took a breath. The analysis here was that it would be a large-scale battle, but he didn't expect that what Zhou Weiguo was talking about was a decisive battle.
"Are you sure the other party wants to have a decisive battle?" Commander Bai also became serious.
If the other party is planning a decisive battle, then my deployment may be inappropriate.
"Yes." The affirmative tone made Commander Bai take a deep breath and said to Adjutant Li beside him; "Get ready immediately, I need to go to the mountain city."
After saying this, he glanced at Zhou Weiguo and said, "Tell Xiao Ya and Xiu Ling to come with me. If the other side wants a decisive battle, then we must also prepare accordingly."
It was thought that when Zhou Weiguo came back, the independent regiment would have a reunion dinner, but after a meeting, Zhou Weiguo did not come back. Instead, he received an order from Xiao Ya and Chao Xiang Xiuling to go to the headquarters.
"What's going on? Aren't they going to a meeting? Why did they call you two over?" Fang Shengli hung up the phone and looked at Nan Zao Mingzi with a puzzled look. "Did you get any news?"
Minamizō Akiko thought for a moment and said, "This should be news of a decisive battle."
The word "decisive battle" shocked Xiao Ye. "What? They want a decisive battle? Do they have the strength to do so?"
After signing the agreement with North Soviet Union, North Soviet Union's original Pacific Fleet set off, and at the same time, the promised fighter jets, bombers, tanks, artillery, etc. also began to be transported here, and now all of these have arrived at the mountain city.
Decisive battle, if they really thought this was the Battle of Shanghai, then the mountain city side only had infantry and a small amount of air force. If people thought so, then they really thought it was wrong.
"I don't know about that, but that's the information we got. As for the rest, I don't know."
Several people looked at Ono. Ono understood what they meant and nodded. "I may not be good at fighting, but I can definitely guarantee that the people in our independent regiment will die of hunger if they die."
Many soldiers on the front line died because they did not have enough food. This guarantee was the greatest guarantee for the army in the mountain city.
When Zhou Weiguo came to the mountain city again, he felt a little unfamiliar with this place. Perhaps it could be said that these places were unfamiliar to the local people every day.
Either this place was bombed or that place was bombed. In the mass grave outside the city, countless corpses were dragged out for burial every day.
The town below Commander Bai's residence also suffered an attack from the air force during this period. The fire caused by the bombs destroyed one-third of the town.
"Are the Japanese army bombing indiscriminately?" Zhou Weiguo asked with a frown after getting out of the car and entering the yard.
Chaoxiang Xiuling knew what he meant by asking this. She thought for a moment and said, "That should be the case. After all, last time, they failed for no apparent reason. They were all holding back a lot of anger. If they don't vent that anger, how can they be happy?"
After entering the yard, the housekeeper who stayed there immediately arranged the accommodation and then arranged the meals.
The weather today is nice, but gloomy and covered with a thick layer of fog.
In such weather, the Japanese army will not come to bomb.
"This time, the Japanese army's decisive battle should be an all-round, large-scale attack. I'm afraid there will be a distinction between primary and secondary, which will prevent our troops from deploying reinforcements accordingly."
On the way here, Commander Bai was thinking about this issue. Now that everyone sat down, he wanted to discuss it first and also wanted to hear what Zhou Weiguo and others had to say.
"What do you think?" Commander Bai pondered for a moment, seeing none of the three spoke. He added, "You are all rising stars in the Shancheng Army. Tell us, in this decisive battle, can we hold off their attack? If we can, then what's next?"
Xiao Ya put down the teacup she was holding. "Sir, I think we should not consider whether we can stop it or not."
Commander Bai glanced at Xiao Ya and said, "Shouldn't we consider this issue? After all, if we can't stop them, then it's not just a matter of destruction. Instead, it's very likely to trigger another wave of scrambles to divide our mountain city. So this time, the problem we face is very serious."
After a moment's hesitation, Chaoxiang Xiuling said, "But...but no matter whether we win or lose, we will all be losers."
