Chapter 186: Officers Envious And Jealous Of Zhou Weiguo
“Regiment Commander! Who on earth is the person who donated these German Weaponry and Equipment to us?”
“And the German Weaponry and Equipment we just changed into doesn’t need to be turned in, right!”
Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing, after obtaining the change of equipment, was also a bit worried and inquired of Zhou Weiguo.
Although he and the soldiers under him were shocked and stunned speechless when they suddenly obtained such excellent German Weaponry and Equipment, after coming to their senses and changing equipment, all the soldiers under Yao Ziqing had already deeply fallen in love with these excellent German Weaponry, so they were all urging Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing to immediately inquire of Zhou Weiguo whether he would suddenly take back these German Weaponry and Equipment,
These were excellent Weaponry and Equipment that they had never obtained in many years of being soldiers, so they were completely reluctant to part with them.
They even more did not want them to be taken back by someone, forcing them to continue using the previous inferior Weaponry and Equipment for operations.
“Who donated it, you don’t need to know. I can only tell you that after changing equipment, no one can take away our Weaponry and Equipment, not even the Military Commission has the power, and I won’t hand them over!”
“These were not distributed to us by the Military Commission side, but kindly donated to us for changing equipment and using to defend the country and kill Japanese Invaders in the future!”
“You know, the Japanese Invaders’ large army is currently in Beiping, wantonly carrying out an invasion war, so we in the Southern Region will one day certainly have a battle with these damned Japanese Invaders!”
“So these excellent German Weaponry and Equipment will be the weapons for all of us on the battlefield to kill the enemy and protect our lives, so I absolutely will not allow any outsiders to reach in and seize our weapons!”
“Now go back and properly lead your troops to conduct military training to master these new-style German Weaponry and Equipment. Soon, we will step onto the battlefield, and then all of you give me a good job killing Japanese Soldiers!”
Regarding Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing’s inquiry,
Zhou Weiguo responded without any concealment.
“This subordinate understands!”
After Battalion Commander Yao Ziqing obtained the reply he wanted to know,
he also nodded in agreement.
And he immediately turned around and returned to his troops, announcing the reply he had obtained,
and immediately carried out the order for all soldiers to quickly familiarize themselves with the structure and usage of the Weaponry and Equipment in their hands.
As for Zhou Weiguo, he personally commanded the officers of various troops, having all soldiers conduct training on operating the new-style German Weapons, and he even personally demonstrated how to use them, including explaining the structure of German Weaponry and Equipment and other knowledge.
In a short time, this new Regiment Commander Zhou Weiguo quickly became one with all the soldiers of the 583rd Regiment under the 292nd Brigade of the 98th Division that he had taken over, and their relationship became even more harmonious.
The command post of the 98th Division,
Division Commander Xia Chuzhong also soon learned the news that Zhou Weiguo had obtained new-style German Weaponry and Equipment and was changing equipment.
Division Commander Xia Chuzhong graduated from the first class of Whampoa, and he graduated from the first special class of Army University, truly a high-talented military academy student,
and in his subsequent officer career, he continuously received appreciation from Chen Cheng, so his official career was smooth sailing.
In the First Battle of Changsha, he was promoted due to merit to Army Commander of the 70th Army, later serving as Deputy Commander of the 12th Army Group and Deputy Commander of the 10th Army Group.
He could be called one of the direct line troops under Commander Chen.
“Hm? Zhou Weiguo actually has such a big backer who can donate so much authentic German Weaponry and Equipment to him?”
“And the quality seems even better than the equipment of the current four German-equipped divisions domestically?”
“Hey! Who would have thought that under my command, such a wealthy and bold officer appeared!”
When Division Commander Xia learned that Zhou Weiguo was actually able, after taking over the new troops,
to equip this new troop with German Weaponry and Equipment in a short time,
he was immediately surprised and delighted.
“Then Division Commander, should we still send someone to investigate who exactly donated so much German Weaponry and Equipment to him?”
“And see if there’s a way to change equipment for our entire division as well?”
“Now all the officers of the division, after learning of this, are extremely envious!”
“They’re all clamoring to also change into such excellent German Weaponry and Equipment!”
Chief of Staff Liu cautiously inquired.
And revealed the thoughts of the officers under his command.
“Investigate what? This is someone’s secret, and this Zhou Weiguo studied at the Berlin Special Military Academy, so it’s normal for him to have connections with the German Army side. What’s more, his father Zhou Jixian is not someone we can afford to provoke!”
“Let those brothers clamoring to change into German Weaponry go communicate and exchange with Zhou Weiguo themselves! Anyway, I won’t interfere in this matter. What’s more, Zhou Weiguo’s troops are also my troops. The better their equipment, the greater the boost to our entire division’s combat power in the future!!”
Regarding Chief of Staff Liu’s inquiry, Division Commander Xia resolutely stated.
“This”
Chief of Staff Liu was left speechless for the moment.
However, he obediently followed instructions, did not continue the topic, but immediately turned around to convey Division Commander Xia’s order to those envious and jealous officers, telling them to find ways themselves to go to Zhou Weiguo.
