Chapter 254 Military meeting caused by the Tiger Guard Division!
The superiors' attitude was to unite all the troops that could be united to fight the war, and they were willing to avoid even the suppression of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
As for the Tiger Guard Division, Kong Jie felt that their superiors should also make some concessions.
However, this all needs to be discussed with superiors, and Kong Jie is determined to carry out his superiors' orders.
And just as Kong Jie was thinking.
There were several footsteps outside the door, and all of a sudden, all the group leaders fell silent.
"stand at attention!"
After several superiors came in, the staff officer on duty shouted loudly, and instantly all the regimental commanders stood at attention.
"Alright, alright, everyone, sit down. I called you here this time so that you can report your respective situations."
"The other side is to discuss the upcoming situation in Jin and gather the intelligence information you have obtained."
The superior looked at everyone present, waved his hand, and spoke to everyone present.
In fact, the superiors were also having a headache at this time, because the situation in Jin changed too quickly, so quickly that the superiors could not react.
The superiors had also discussed this when the Japanese 37th Division was preparing to attack the Tiger Division.
Even if they wanted to help the Tiger Guards, they didn't have enough time to mobilize so many regular troops, and the gap in weapons was too big.
So they launched a campaign behind enemy lines, taking advantage of the Japanese weakness in northwestern Shanxi to attack villages and towns there.
As for why they did not attack the county towns in northwestern Shanxi, it was because the Eighth Route Army had few artillery pieces and could not launch an effective attack on the county towns.
Moreover, regarding the battle between the Tiger Guards Division and the Japanese 37th Division, the superiors believed that it would be difficult for the Tiger Guards Division to win.
The best outcome would be for the Tiger Guards to break out of Chidong County.
Although the Tiger Guards Division had fewer men, it was well-equipped. The Japanese had more men, but their weapons were inferior to those of the Tiger Guards Division.
So in the eyes of the superiors, this war will last at least six or seven days.
By that time, the Hu Ben Division of Hutou Mountain will be able to support Chidong County, and they will also help the Hu Ben Division.
But no one expected that the war would end in just one day and one night.
Moreover, the result of this battle was that the Tiger Guards Division won a complete victory and the Japanese 37th Division was completely defeated.
This battle demonstrated the strength of the Tiger Guards Division and also made all major forces aware of the horror of the Tiger Guards Division.
Therefore, both Commander Yan and the Japanese began to pay attention to the Tiger Guards Division.
For the time being, no one wanted to have any conflict with the Tiger Guards, so they all evacuated northwest Shanxi.
Northwestern Shanxi also fell under the control of the Tiger Guards.
Now they also need to make a choice, but it mainly depends on the attitude of the Tiger Guards towards them.
Several superiors were discussing this matter just now.
"Report, our unit now has 1,365 personnel, each with a gun, four machine guns, and no artillery."
"Report, our unit now has 691 personnel, less than 500 firearms, no machine guns, no artillery."
"Report, our department is now..."
......
"Report, our unit now has 1,960 personnel, 2,363 firearms, 18 machine guns, and 12 mortars."
After Kong Jie finished speaking, everyone looked at Kong Jie, because Kong Jie's independent regiment had the largest number of people and the most weapons.
What follows is that the superiors integrate the weapons and personnel and then redistribute them, a noisy process.
Many team leaders yelled loudly, but no matter what they did, they all carried out the orders in the end.
"Now I will tell you about the situation in Jin and the news we have received. If there is any news we don't know, you can add it later."
"The current situation in Jindi has been changed by the Tiger Guards. Previously, Jindi was dominated by the Japanese invaders and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and us."
"Although the Tiger Guards have some achievements, they were established too recently to have any impact on the overall situation in Jin."
"But things are different now. The strength displayed by the Tiger Guards Division when they wiped out the Japanese 37th Division can completely affect the overall situation in Jin."
"And the Tiger Guards Division's armaments are stronger than ours, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and the Japanese."
"During the Chidong County battle, an armored force of several thousand men suddenly appeared from the Tiger Guard Division."
"It was precisely because of this armored unit that the Tiger Division was able to completely defeat the Japanese 37th Division."
"Commander Yan of the Second War Zone has already stationed the Tiger Guard Division in northwest Shanxi. We don't know what the connection is."
"But now both the Japs and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have evacuated northwest Shanxi."
"What about us? Do we need to evacuate northwest Shanxi? What is the Tiger Guards' attitude towards us?"
"I'll leave these matters to you, Brigade Commander Chen. Your brigade happens to be in northwest Shanxi."
"I hope you can meet Zhou Weimin in person to discuss this matter."
When the superior said this, he looked at a burly man wearing glasses. This man was none other than Brigade Commander Chen of the 386th Brigade.
He is also the superior of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
"I will go to meet Zhou Weimin in person, and take a look at Hutou Mountain, this steel fortress." Brigade Commander Chen smiled and said after hearing this.
In fact, Brigade Commander Chen had wanted to meet Zhou Weimin for a long time, but he never had the chance.
You should know that Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie all reported Zhou Weimin's matter to Brigade Commander Chen.
"Okay, you handle it yourself. The superiors mean to evacuate northwest Shanxi, but we need to see what the Tiger Guard Division's attitude towards us is."
"And now Zhou Weimin is in Chidong County. If you want to see him, you have to go to Chidong County."
After hearing what Brigade Commander Chen said, the superior nodded slightly, and then said to Brigade Commander Chen.
In fact, the superior had just agreed on this with Brigade Commander Chen in private.
"Yes, I will go to Chidong County as soon as possible." Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said after hearing his superior's words.
In fact, Brigade Commander Chen knew that Zhou Weimin was in Chidong County now, but he just wanted to wait for Zhou Weimin to return to Hutou Mountain before meeting him.
This was mainly to see the situation of Hutou Mountain. After all, the defense of Hutou Mountain had already spread in Jin.
But it seems that the superiors want to deal with this matter as soon as possible.
"Let's get back to the situation in Jin. If Jin... this is what we know so far."
"Now, tell me what latest news you have. Please update us."
The superior clearly introduced the current situation in Jin to the group leaders present, so that the group leaders had a clear understanding of the situation.
The superiors did a good job of intelligence work, and the group leaders had nothing to add.
Seeing that the group leaders had nothing to add, the superior ended the meeting, and then the group leaders returned to their respective bases.
As for the several regimental commanders who did not come, their superiors are also stepping up contact, fearing that something unexpected may happen to these troops.
At this moment, Li Yunlong was still transporting German weapons for his battalion, but before he returned to the base, he was called over by Brigade Commander Chen.
The German armaments of that battalion were also taken away by Brigadier General Chen.
