Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

When Xu Hu saw that the brigade commander's question had come again, he thought for a moment and asked, "Brigade commander, can you tell me your plans?"

At least he should be able to deduce things based on the brigade commander's next plans.

"Naturally, it's for the purpose of attack."

The word "attack" sent a chill down the spines of everyone in the command post. Of course, the only one who didn't react was Takeshita Shun. He had just realized that Zhou Weiguo's question about this matter meant that an attack was imminent.

Xu Hu glanced at the time on his wrist and said, "Brigadier, it will probably take four hours."

Four hours, Zhou Weiguo nodded after calculating; "I'll give you four hours, and you need to figure out their firepower bunkers and such."

"Old Zhou, you're not planning to attack today, are you?" Fang Shengli asked the question on everyone's mind after Xu Hu left the venue.

Zhou Weiguo nodded; "Yes."

"No, we haven't received orders from the theater command to attack at this time..."

"By the time we get orders from the theater command, it will be too late. Besides, haven't you noticed that we've suffered heavy losses in our several attacks on this area? I don't believe that after all the weapons and equipment we've swindled, we can't even take down a single regiment's position. I seriously suspect that the Japanese have already infiltrated the command headquarters."

Now that they've been allowed to infiltrate, waiting for orders from the theater command is no longer an order, but a death sentence.

Their own troops were already resting and reorganizing, so this trip was just a change of location; nothing else had changed much.

As for weapons and equipment, they're all the same, not much different, since I took quite a few of my own light weapons. Overall, nothing is missing; if anything is missing, it's my heavy weapons.

The time available for attacking and using heavy weapons is limited, as it cannot keep up with the advance speed of the army.

"Gao Yun," Zhou Weiguo called out, and Gao Yun, who was below, immediately stood up; "Yes."

"I'll give you the truck. Go find Ono right now and get the iron plates and defensive items. Have them installed tonight."

"Understood." Gao Yun picked up his helmet and left, a cigarette dangling from his lips. The others, seeing that Zhou Weiguo wasn't joking, listened to his next orders.

Zhou Weiguo got up and went to the map; "The Fourth Regiment will serve as the reserve force. As for the rest of the units, we'll meet up again after Xu Hu returns."

Changsha.

After Commander Bai returned, he listened to Deputy Commander Xue's report. In particular, after several failed attacks on position 002, Commander Bai turned to look at Deng Yaoxian who had just come over and asked, "What do you think about our repeated failed attacks?"

Deng Yaoxian said, "I'm afraid the headquarters has already been infiltrated by the Japanese army. I will find the person as soon as possible."

"We need to be quick. This deception won't last long before the Japanese find out." With that, he gestured for Deng Yao to go ahead and do his work, then gestured for Commander Xue to sit down and asked, "How's Fatty Tang's mood?"

"Not good. He hasn't been able to eat or drink for the past two days." Deputy Commander Xue felt that the guy was truly unlucky; he hadn't even settled into his position before the war zone was merged. And then…

Commander Bai smiled and said, "Alright, it's understandable. Here's what you'll do: take him to the Jiangxi battlefield. He's a little afraid of me and also a little afraid of that kid. I bet he'll be on tenterhooks on the Hunan battlefield."

“Sir, you know he’s not one to follow orders…”

Commander Bai snorted; "This is not the Fifth War Zone."

Just because an old partner is easy to talk to doesn't mean he's easy to talk to.

Commander Xue nodded after receiving the preparations; "Alright, I'll take him away tomorrow and then launch an attack over there to draw the attention of the 11th Army."

After they finished speaking, the two began to discuss how to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

And shortly after they began their discussions.

Zhou Weiguo has already begun making arrangements.

Xu Hu's reconnaissance report came back, and it wasn't much different from the Sichuan Army's report. They had only found a few hidden bunkers. Of course, this didn't mean the Sichuan Army was incompetent, but rather that the Japanese had built them temporarily. In addition, the frontline force consisted of a regiment from the Setani Detachment plus a regiment of puppet troops.

Strangely, behind this regiment of puppet troops was a large battalion of Japanese soldiers.

After analysis, Zhou Weiguo and Takeshita Shun concluded that the Japanese army did not trust the puppet troops. The large battalion at the back was a supervisory team, and also a precautionary force. If the puppet troops failed, they would arrive at the battlefield immediately to stabilize the situation.

The headquarters of the Setani Detachment was in a town 30 kilometers away. Only a portion of its tanks and armored vehicles were here; the rest were in the central region.

Such a deployment likely stems from a previous disastrous defeat; otherwise, they wouldn't have created a situation where they could either attack or retreat.

"Is this guy crazy?" Ono, standing in front of the map, rolled up the distance with a ruler and started cursing.

"Is he out of his mind? The central position is 15 kilometers away from the front line. What is he doing? Does he deserve the uniform he wears? He is a disgrace to the Empire. Such cowardice is a disgrace to the Imperial Army."

Zhou Weiguo, who had picked up the command baton, glanced at him and immediately slammed it on his helmet; "What's wrong with you? The Seya Detachment has been attacked several times in the Fifth War Zone. Is he being too careful and making a mistake?"

"Why don't you think about this? Their weapons and equipment are in the rear. If we attack quickly, they might run away. If we attack slowly, they will press forward. Right now, we don't have enough to deal with tanks and armored vehicles."

At this point, his eyes darted around for a moment before he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Old Zhou, why don't we use poison gas? Then we can just run the trucks over the second line of defense. That way, all those weapons and equipment will be ours."

Takeshita Shun glanced at Ono and then asked, "What do you need that equipment for?"

"Sell it for money, what else can I do with it?" Ono said, hands on his hips. "I'm the kind of person who can even sell bullet casings."

That's true; this guy really does have that ability. But it's not something to be proud of. He cheats students out of their money; you can't help but think he's a scoundrel.

“I think your hopes are going to be dashed this time,” Takeshita Shun said, lighting a cigarette.

What do you mean?

Ono glanced sideways at Takeshita Shun; "What do you mean by that? Are you still a member of the Independent Brigade?" He was considering the interests of the entire brigade, and this kid said that hopes would be dashed. He was practically a jinx.

“That’s exactly what I mean.” After saying that, Takeshita Shun quickly sketched a line on the map with a pencil, then drew a circle on it and asked Zhou Weiguo, “What do you think?”
