Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

What was the situation back then?

That's literally throwing human lives into it.

One division was lost, another was sent in, one after another. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Guangxi Army, in order to counterattack, forced the Japanese army to retreat a step and wiped them out in a few hours. They had overcome such difficult times, so what was this?

“There will definitely be a battle here in the Fifth War Zone. Your old unit will also be coming over, and several squadrons from the Air Force will also be transferred here.”

Zhou Weiguo sighed, "The old man has finally come to his senses. In the past, the air force wouldn't come here so easily."

Humph……

Little Zhuge crossed his arms; “What do you mean by ‘seeing things through’? He just knows that if he can’t stop the enemy’s attack this time, he will become a sinner. He can’t bear that responsibility. Even if he wants to use the Japanese army to wipe out the local forces, he doesn’t dare to do it.”

“Who can take on this responsibility?” Commander Li pointed to Little Zhuge and said to Zhou Weiguo, “Don’t let his relaxed demeanor fool you. He hasn’t slept for days. He’s been analyzing the possible directions of the Japanese attack.”

"The commander is very righteous," Zhou Weiguo praised, then added, "I think our independent brigade should be on the front line."

Little Zhuge chuckled and said, "It seems you share similar thoughts with us. We also believe that your independent brigade should be on the front line, directly facing the 14th Division."

The 14th Division suffered a crushing defeat, losing a large amount of supplies and equipment. Although the higher-ups did not dismiss Togo Heiichiro, this was to give him a chance to learn from his mistakes and improve. This same opportunity was also given to the Setani Detachment.

This is their only chance; otherwise, it's hard to say whether the 14th Division would still exist.

Zhou Weiguo didn't think too much about it, nor did he consider the depths of the abyss that the two people in front of him were in. He simply felt that the 14th Division had been so badly beaten because of the Independent Brigade. The Japanese army hated the Independent Brigade to the bone and wanted to eliminate this scourge. As long as the Independent Brigade existed, it would be a thorn in their side, and their main force would turn towards them. This would also help to distract the Japanese army, which would be beneficial for the Fifth War Zone to break through the Japanese offensive.

"Sir, what is the Second War Zone's attitude towards this large-scale Japanese troop buildup?"

The two sides are neighbors. Whether the Japanese army can fully deal with the Fifth War Zone depends on the attitude of the Second War Zone. If the Second War Zone launches several large-scale counterattacks, the Japanese army will inevitably transfer some of its forces to deal with the Second War Zone. After all, it is their only stronghold to threaten the mountain city from the north, and they will not give it up no matter what.

"I don't know, but based on my understanding of Yan Xishan, it would be difficult to get him to attack..."

Zhou Weiguo chuckled; "Shanxi doesn't belong to him alone. If it really doesn't work out, then we can just find someone else."

It doesn't matter who gets the position; the Jin-Sui Army isn't a monolithic entity. Several people have long coveted that position. However, Yan Xishan has controlled Shanxi for so many years, and his influence is deeply entrenched. Even if some people want it, they don't dare to act rashly, lest they miss out on the opportunity and get killed instead.

"You can say these things to us, but don't go around saying them outside this door," Little Zhuge reminded Zhou Weiguo before pushing the chess piece forward. "If things really don't work out, we should change players."

The Second War Zone Command Headquarters moved south after the Japanese First Army occupied Taiyuan, and now it is located in a factory in a county town.

The factory is a sturdy cement brick structure, and it also has several high points. Behind it is a small forest, and next to it is an air-raid shelter that was dug not long ago.

The uniforms of the Jin-Sui Army were not the blue-gray or khaki of the Central Army, but a light blue.

Although Lao Xi was exploitative, he still cared about the troops. At least the uniforms were uniform, unlike the Central Army which had several different colors. This was to avoid confusion and problems.

Wearing a military uniform, he had been standing in front of the map for a while, while the operations director was reporting on the current situation of the Japanese army next to him.

"The Japanese Kwantung Army's 1st Division has already left Shanhaiguan, the 3rd Division is assembling in Shenyang, and in addition, a Japanese cavalry brigade and an independent detachment located in the southern Oirat are also assembling and are very likely to move south."

"What's the situation to the east?" Old Xi asked calmly, sitting in his chair.

East?

The operations director glanced at the documents in his hand; "The Japanese Isogai Division still has an independent brigade that is preparing supplies. In addition, two armies of puppet troops in North China have been mobilized to the vicinity of Kaifeng, and one army of puppet troops has also been mobilized to Xuzhou."

“Good people don’t live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. The Fifth War Zone has suffered such a setback, and Zhou Weiguo is simply the biggest culprit.” His accent was very heavy, and anyone could tell that he was very dissatisfied with the matter.

Meanwhile, his trusted Chief of Staff Yang was completely caught off guard.

This guy isn't exactly a saint either, so why did he suddenly change his tune today and even consider the interests of other allies? Is he confused, or what?

Why can't I understand it?

He couldn't understand, so he asked questions. This was his experience over the years. He was ambitious, but even the greatest ambition had to overcome obstacles to reach the Five Finger Mountain. If you couldn't overcome it, what good was your ambition? So, he lost his ambition.

"Sir, the situation in the Fifth War Zone is not good."

"That's right, scourges are contagious." Yan Laoxi closed his eyes in frustration. He was furious. He had held off more than a Japanese army here, and it was a very difficult fight. Of course, he also wanted to preserve his strength, so he had never really engaged in a head-on confrontation with the enemy. His troops were still the same number, and his ammunition was still sufficient. The only problem was the lack of air power, because his army did not leave Shanxi, and the Shancheng Command was too lazy to replenish his supplies.

Anyway, they knew that even if the Jin-Sui Army was wiped out, none of them would hold a grudge. After all, Shanxi was their territory. If the Japanese army really wanted to kill them, they would fight to the death.

infect?

What do you mean?

Several high-ranking generals stood before him without saying a word, but the message in their eyes was clear: they didn't understand it.

"Don't you understand? This time the Japanese army has amassed so many troops. If our Jin-Sui Army doesn't lend a hand, do you know what the consequences will be for us?"

"Damn beast!" Yan Laoxi cursed inwardly. This time, he had really been ruined.
