Chapter 253 Everyone is speculating about the Tiger Guard Division!
"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army didn't spend money to buy the Japanese's equipment. This was an order from the division commander. I don't know the specific circumstances."
"You can ask the division commander. By the way, it was Sun Chu of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Commander Sun, who took him away."
Xu Hu did not hide anything and spoke slowly to Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao.
"Forget it, if you can't change it, then don't change it." Li Yunlong didn't know what he was thinking after hearing Xu Hu's words, and then said to Xu Hu.
In fact, Li Yunlong was thinking a lot at this moment. The first thing Li Yunlong thought about was what kind of deal there was between the Tiger Guards Division and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
After all, according to Zhou Weimin's attitude towards the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, it is impossible for him to give anything to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Besides, Li Yunlong had found out that the Tiger Guards Division had seized a lot of weapons from the Japanese.
The Japanese had enough weapons to form two or three divisions. With so many weapons, even those that the Tiger Guards Division looked down upon, they would never be given to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
But Li Yunlong couldn't guess what kind of deal Zhou Weimin had with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but he thought it should be related to the Tiger Guard Division stationed in northwest Shanxi.
Thinking that the Tiger Guards Division would be stationed in northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong felt that he should return to the base as soon as possible to report the matter.
At that time, the Eighth Route Army was still in a difficult situation and there were few radio stations, so a regimental commander like Li Yunlong had no way to contact his superiors using the radio.
So the battle in Chidong County had ended for more than a day, but Li Yunlong still didn't know.
Let’s not talk about Li Yunlong.
......
Headquarters.
Because the Japanese 37th Division went to Chidong County and fought with the Tiger Guard Division.
The Eighth Route Army launched a major battle in northwestern Shanxi, mobilizing 70,000 to 80,000 people for this battle.
All the villages and towns in northwestern Shanxi became the targets of the Eighth Route Army's attack after a day and a night of fighting.
All the troops returned to their bases.
In this battle, some troops suffered heavy casualties, but some troops gained good results.
Because no one was optimistic about the battle between the Tiger Guards Division and the Japanese 37th Division, the Eighth Route Army did not occupy any villages or towns in northwestern Shanxi.
However, it was not until the commanders of various units gathered at the headquarters that they received the news that the Tiger Guard Division had defeated the Japanese 37th Division.
"I really didn't expect the Tiger Guards to win, and win so beautifully. The Tiger Guards' fighting power is too strong."
"This is not just a simple victory, it is a great victory. An entire Japanese division was wiped out by the Tiger Guards."
"It's too late. We got the news too late. If we had received it earlier, we could have occupied the villages and towns in northwest Shanxi."
"What are you thinking? Commander Yan of the Second War Zone has already issued a military order. The defense zone in northwest Shanxi is now under the jurisdiction of the Tiger Guard Division."
"This is not a good thing for us. The Tiger Guards are stationed in northwest Shanxi. What about us?"
......
Before their superiors arrived, the group leaders were discussing the matter.
Although the group leaders did not have radios and the information they received was incomplete, by gathering together and listening to the news, they had a general understanding of what had happened in the past few days.
"Old Kong, I heard that you have a good relationship with Commander Zhou of the Tiger Guards Division. Can you tell us what the Tiger Guards Division's attitude is towards us now that they are stationed in northwest Shanxi?"
"Also, what's going on with this military order issued by Commander Yan of the Second War Zone? You know, Commander Yan has always considered Jin his own!"
"This time, they unexpectedly handed over Northwest Shanxi to the Tiger Guards. There must be something we don't know about."
Blind Cheng looked at Kong Jie who was smoking a pipe opposite him, and spoke loudly to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie and Zhou Weimin had a good relationship, and many commanders of the Eighth Route Army knew this.
Why is Kong Jie's independent regiment so wealthy? Isn't it all because of the weapons Zhou Weimin sent?
My goodness, that heavy machine gun, that small steel cannon, that German Mauser 98k rifle...
Which of the Eighth Route Army commanders wouldn’t be envious?
"I have a good relationship with Commander Zhou and I know him a little bit, but the current Commander Zhou is not the same Commander Zhou as before."
"So I dare not say what our attitude will be after Commander Zhou is stationed in northwest Shanxi."
"But Commander Zhou used to be nice to us. Now, I don't dare to say anything."
"As for the military order issued by Commander Yan of the Second War Zone, what's going on? I'm not Commander Yan's inner entourage, so how would I know?"
"But you, Blind Cheng, are right about one thing. Commander Zhou and Commander Yan must have some connection."
After hearing what Blind Cheng said, Kong Jie took a few puffs of his pipe and then said to Blind Cheng.
In fact, Kong Jie really didn’t understand Zhou Weimin at this moment. Before, Zhou Weimin was just a regiment commander with only a few thousand people under his command.
At that time, Zhou Weimin had no clear purpose, he just wanted to fight the Japanese.
But now Zhou Weimin is a division commander with tens of thousands of people under his command and a clear goal. Who knows what Zhou Weimin is thinking at this time?
Even the captains under Zhou Weimin were not quite sure what he was thinking.
Only Shen Fei, the chief of staff of the Tiger Guards Division, understood what Zhou Weimin was thinking, but others might not know.
"Lao Kong, I think you should go meet Commander Zhou. You know, our brigade is stationed in northwest Shanxi."
"After the Tiger Guards are stationed in northwest Shanxi, what is their attitude towards us? How should we get along with them? This is very crucial."
"Now that the Tiger Guards have wiped out the Japanese 37th Division, the situation in Jin has changed."
"In the small land of Jin, there are the Japanese, the Jinsui Army, the Tiger Guard Division, and us. We are intertwined and fighting on our own."
"But now there are only us and the Tiger Guard Division in northwest Shanxi. I got the news that the Japanese and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have evacuated northwest Shanxi."
"So what is Commander Zhou's attitude towards us? This is very important."
After hearing what Kong Jie said, Blind Cheng pondered for a moment, then said to Kong Jie with a serious expression.
It was because Blind Cheng received the news that the Japanese and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had evacuated northwest Shanxi that he attached so much importance to the Tiger Guards' attitude towards them.
Because Blind Cheng felt that the Tiger Guards wanted them to withdraw from northwest Shanxi as well, but they had been developing in northwest Shanxi for several years.
If we evacuate northwest Shanxi, what should we do with those developed bases?
"Let our superiors make the decision on this matter. It's useless for us to say anything. It depends on what their superiors think. I, Kong Jie, will resolutely carry out their orders." After hearing what Blind Cheng said, Kong Jie thought for a while and then said to Blind Cheng.
In fact, Cheng Xiazi’s idea is also Kong Jie’s idea.
However, the difference between Kong Jie and Blind Cheng is that Blind Cheng only knows how to think nonsense, but Kong Jie doesn't.
Because Kong Jie knew that this matter was not something they could decide, and it depended on how their superiors and Zhou Weimin discussed it.
However, Kong Jie felt that his superiors would probably ask them to evacuate northwest Shanxi. After all, his superiors' attitude was to unite all the troops that could be united to fight the war.
