Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 1076 A Thousand Steps Across the Sea

Zhou Weiguo was stunned.

The Fifth War Zone is currently the main defensive focus of the entire mountain city. The plan to force the Japanese army to change its plans and continue its offensive into South Asia and Central Asia is to achieve its objective from the Fifth War Zone.

At this point, shouldn't the Independent Brigade be intensifying its offensive and causing trouble for the Japanese army? Why does it sound like they're about to leave?

"If one side doesn't shine, another side will. Even if the situation here fluctuates, it can't be too big. But we can't be complacent. We also need to guard against one thing: the Japanese army might launch a new offensive against us from other places. And the direction of this offensive is very likely to be the Ninth War Zone and the Sixth War Zone."

"Head south," Zhou Weiguo decided after hearing what Commander Bai said.

Commander Bai nodded; "The General Headquarters has decided to abolish the Sixth War Zone and merge it into the Ninth War Zone, with me remaining as the commander of the Ninth War Zone and Xue Bolin as the deputy commander."

The Sixth War Zone was being disbanded? Zhou Weiguo stared wide-eyed at the two officers in front of him, his mind buzzing.

"What's wrong? Judging from your tone, you don't seem to be optimistic about this merger of war zones."

Oh no……

The excessive spending of the war zones is not a good thing. The area under the jurisdiction of the Sixth War Zone is too small, so its existence is not very meaningful. Moreover, the troop movements across war zones require communication with the war zone command. The Sixth War Zone is basically surrounded by the Ninth War Zone. Its existence is a white elephant, with little effect, but its framework is quite large. Merging it would be the best option.

"No, it's just that Fatty Tang feels sad."

Before he was surrounded, Commander Bai had told him that in order to silence some people, Tang Pangpang had been relieved of his post as corps commander and subsequently transferred to the Sixth War Zone as deputy commander and commander of an army.

This guy hadn't even settled in yet when the war zone was directly merged into the Ninth War Zone.

Little Zhuge was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled; "Then you can't blame anyone. This order comes from the Mountain City Command. If he's not satisfied, he can report it directly to the Command. However, compared to not having his deputy commander, I think what he least wants right now is to cooperate with you."

"I hope so." Zhou Weiguo smiled; "What a coincidence. Actually, I don't want to play with him either. That guy likes to run away."

Run. If he doesn't want to die, then he should run.

"Okay, then I have no objection. I'll go back and prepare right away, immediately..."

Commander Li stopped Zhou Weiguo; "Leave the equipment behind."

what……

Zhou Weiguo was stunned when he heard this. What kind of talk was this? Leave the equipment behind and send your men to their deaths?

"Sir, this..."

The General Staff's intention is to launch an offensive against the 11th Army. Offensive tactics are your forte, but if the Japanese know your troops have arrived in the south, the offensive will likely face numerous difficulties. Therefore, the General Staff and the Commander-in-Chief's plan is to deceive them. Your weapons, equipment, and uniforms will be handed over to our Guangxi Army, and then you will go to the Ninth War Zone to replenish your supplies.

Zhou Weiguo paused for a moment before nodding. "I understand, sir. But I need to take the poison gas bombs with me, as well as the anti-aircraft machine gun. Without these, I'm a little nervous."

"Don't worry, you'll get your share. The mountain city arsenal has already shipped a batch of supplies, including what you need. Tanks will also be provided to you; trucks will deliver them directly to your location."

What kind of deal did that guy from Shancheng make with this guy? He actually gave all the equipment to the Gui Army. Zhou Weiguo wanted to ask, but in the end, he didn't. After all, there were some things that he couldn't know.

However, since the higher-ups are considering this, he will listen to them.

"Your Independent Brigade is the trump card of the current war zone. Your forces are being disguised and will not go to the front line for a short period of time. They will only be fully restored to their original designation after you launch your attack there. And your current designation is the Provisional Eighth Division."

There was no other way; the Independent Brigade was actually the size of a division, and only a division could keep it a secret from the Japanese army.

Just like that, you gave it away?

Ono stared at Zhou Weiguo for a while, her mind buzzing, before finally saying, "You...you agreed?"

"Otherwise what?" Zhou Weiguo spread his hands; "What can I possibly argue with the two officers' intentions?"

"No, you should at least argue back! My Independent Brigade has an abundance of supplies, and now we're giving them away. You don't care, but I do! I... I won't agree to this!" Ono squatted down on the ground.

He still has a lot of unsold goods, which represent a lot of money. He's not going to give them away for no reason.

Unable to dissuade her, Zhou Weiguo went up to Xiao Ya and poked her waist; "I can't handle this thing, you do it."

Xiao Ya nodded with a smile and then squatted down in front of Xiao Ye; "There's a saying in Shancheng: out with the old, in with the new."

"I'm not the kind of person who gets bored easily." Ono didn't even look up. Anyway, today, no matter who tried to persuade him, it wouldn't work.

After so many years of hard work, the Independent Brigade has finally become fully armed. Now, for a simple covert troop rotation, they want to leave behind all their weapons and equipment. This is simply outrageous.

This is disrespectful to the fruits of his labor over the years.

“We can no longer gain any advantage here, and according to the command, the unit we are going to attack this time is the Setani Detachment that was just transferred from here. I think you should know about this detachment.”

The Setani Detachment was transferred to the south a month ago and joined the 11th Army. They also received a batch of reinforcements in Shanghai.

amount……

Ono slightly raised his head.

He was somewhat tempted by those words, but after thinking about it, he shook his head; "It's not worth it."

"Tian Jing." Xiao beckoned, and Tian Jing came to Xiao Ya's side, squatted down, and looked at Xiao Ye with her hands supporting her chin.

Ono felt uneasy under her gaze and asked, "Why...why are you looking at me like that? Just tell me what's wrong."

Tian Jing nodded and said, "The Seya Detachment underwent a replenishment in Shanghai, and its strength has reached 6,700 men. It has a tank battalion, an artillery battalion, and an armored vehicle company. The entire force is equipped with machine guns..."

"I don't care," Ono scoffed. "My Independent Brigade has better equipment than theirs. Why would I care about their crappy, broken-down guns?"

He doesn't care. Even if he had Czech machine guns from the Independent Brigade, or big plate chicken, or Maxim heavy machine guns, he wouldn't care. Since he doesn't have any, he simply doesn't want them.

"Oh." Zhou Weiguo knew that this was no longer enough to satisfy Xiao Ye's appetite. He said "Oh" and then said, "I forgot to tell you something. Do you want to hear it?"
