    On December 15, 1937, the Nationalist Government exposed a piece of news that was most embarrassing to the Japanese army since the Anti-Japanese War.

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The Nationalist Army's First Independent Brigade defeated the elite 58th Regiment of the Japanese Army in Chuzhou with a single regiment, and killed the commander of the regiment, Colonel Takada!"

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The 1st Independent Brigade of the Eighty-seventh Division of the National Army defeated the Japanese army in Chuzhou, defeated the Japanese elite regiment with a weak force, and captured a complete regiment flag!"

    "Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! General Zhou Weiguo of the National Army's First Independent Brigade defeated the Japanese army in Chuzhou. The Japanese army pursued to no avail! Successfully captured a regiment flag!"

    "Sell newspapers! General Zhou Weiguo defeated the elite Japanese regiment, marking the first time in the history of the War of Resistance. He killed his regiment leader with a weak force! He captured the first regiment flag since the War of Resistance!"

    The voices of newsboys resounded in the joints of Wuhan, Changsha, Taiyuan, Nanchang, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xi'an and other major cities, all promoting Zhou Weiguo's victory.  The main focus above is Zhou Weiguo's seizure of the Japanese army flag.

    The reason why it was able to spread its influence across the country in such a short period of time is very simple. This is naturally the result of the Congress Party adding fuel to the flames from behind.

    The chairman of the committee wanted to reuse him, and the elders of the National Congress Party also followed suit and prepared to support Zhou Weiguo.

    I believe everyone knows Zhou Weiguo¡¯s background. He is a truly well-established elder son, a second-generation official and a second-generation rich man.

    His father is a veteran of the National Congress Party and has extensive connections in it.  Even the four major families below are closely related to it.  Zhou Jixian himself is a member of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.  Zhou Weiguo's father-in-law, Taishan Xiao Jianru, still had widespread influence. With the help of many aspects, the name Zhou Weiguo soon began to be resounding throughout the country.

    ¡°Subsequently, the Nationalist Government also announced that after a period of time, they would publish the captured United Flag in newspapers.

    ????????????????? Well, Zhou Weiguo is famous, and the whole world knows it after the first battle. I¡¯m talking about Zhou Weiguo. Capturing a regiment flag in the first battle is a big deal!

    "However, Zhou Weiguo is famous, but there are also people who are itching to be popular.

    In Nanjing City, Temporary Security Headquarters

    "Eight~ga~"

    "Bang~bang~"

    Matsui Ishigen, who had just arrived in Nanjing and had not yet had a sip of hot tea, suddenly heard the news. He was so angry that he chopped up a vase in front of him with a knife.

    At this time, his face was flushed, and his eyes were red. No one knew whether he was angry or something.

    "Where is Ogisu Libing? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

    After a while, Matsui Ishigen's anger was still there, but it looked like he was going to use Ogisu Libing to calm it down.

    "Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency Ogisu Ribing is currently pursuing the Chinese army."

    Next to him, the commander of the Sixth Division, Tani Shoufu, and other division commanders in Nanjing City were looking at Ishigen Matsui with uneasy expressions.

    "What's the result now? Did you get the alliance flag back?"

    ¡°There is no result yet!¡±

    ¡°Bang~¡±

    Matsui Ishigen struck the table with his knife again. He had never been so angry, and at the same time, he was scared to death.

    The regiment flag was seized by the Chinese army. If this matter is not handled well, his position as commander of the army will be unstable. It is possible that the base camp may not require him to commit seppuku, because this is a major matter.  matter.

    "Pass me an order to immediately stop all massacres in the city. All troops, except the 114th Division, will leave the city immediately. The 3rd Division, the 68th Advance Regiment, immediately go to Chuzhou, occupy Chuzhou, and report it to the commander of the 5th Division, Itagaki.  Jun sent electricity and told him that in order to retrieve the lost alliance flag, the Guoqi detachment would not return it for the time being and let the Yamada detachment and the Guoqi detachment move towards Hefei.

    The Sixth Division immediately went to Bengfu, and the Ninth Division immediately went to Huainan. Their combat mission was to block the Chinese army in the north from going south, and at the same time block the intention of the Chinese army commander Zhou Weiguo to go north.

    The 18th Division immediately went to Lu'an, captured Lu'an, and blocked the westward advance of the Chinese army.

    The Sixteenth Division immediately entered Jiangbei and began to search for Zhou Weiguo in this encirclement.  The other 101st Division and the 11th Division immediately gave up their original plans and gathered in the Huaihe and Huaihe areas.  "

    After Ishigen Matsui finished speaking, he looked at the division commanders below with an angry face and said: "Gentlemen! This is a shame! It is a shame for the empire. The empire's alliance flag was actually taken away by a small China.  The purpose of this mission is to recapture the lost alliance flag! Even ifWe must take back the alliance flag at all costs, do you understand?  "

    "Ha~yi~"

    All the division commanders below shouted loudly.

    Zhou Weiguo didn¡¯t know that his action saved hundreds of thousands of people.

    Zhou Weiguo still underestimated the importance that the little devil attached to the alliance flag. He did not expect that the little devil valued the alliance flag to such an extent.

    Because of Zhou Weiguo, the massacre that had just begun for a few days in Nanjing was forced to stop.  All Japanese troops began to assemble and stop all massacres.

    The defense within Nanjing City was under the responsibility of Suematsu Shigeharu, commander of the 114th Division. After Suematsu Shigeharu took over Nanjing City, he ordered the soldiers to gather all the prisoners of war.

    Because these troops of the Sixth Division had done a lot of damage to Nanjing City before, he now needed to use these prisoners of war to repair Nanjing City.

    ?¡­

    When Matsui Ishigen issued the latest action order in Nanjing City, Zhou Weiguo was gathering his defeated troops.

    Along the way over the past few days, Zhou Weiguo continued to gather his guards, and at the same time, he continued to move forward.

    Along the way, the vanguard of the Japs bit Zhou Weiguo's troops several times.

    But at this time, Zhou Weiguo started to play guerrilla tactics with the Japs. If they could get through, they would fight. If they couldn't, they would run away if the Japs troops behind them got close.  He led the Thirteenth Division around the areas north of the Yangtze River and south of the Huaihe River.

    And it was through such guerrilla tactics that the morale of Zhou Weiguo's defeated troops began to be boosted.  The biggest problem with these defeated troops is their low morale.  When it comes to combat literacy and soldier quality, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the quality of the Central Army of the National Army was not low.  Many are veterans.

    As morale began to improve, Zhou Weiguo also believed that the guerrilla war should be stopped appropriately.

    Guerrilla warfare will not work all the time. If you want to truly develop and grow and become a main anti-Japanese force, you must have a head-on confrontation with the Japs. Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhou Weiguo began to advance towards Huainan.

    And now, Zhou Weiguo is on his way to Changfeng County, Huainan.

    "Weiguo, since this journey, the number of our troops has grown to more than 7,000. But now, except for our old troops, other troops are extremely short of weapons and ammunition, and all kinds of weapons are mixed among them.  Rifles, there are Mauser 24 rifles made in Germany, some made in Hanyang, and various other weapons. It¡¯s too confusing. This is not the way to go!¡±

    Sun Xinpu said walking beside Zhou Weiguo.

    "Hehe! Xinpu, don't worry! We are about to enter Changfeng County. After entering Changfeng, my father will transport a large number of weapons and equipment. By then we will carry out a comprehensive reorganization and also add heavy weapons.  .Now that the morale of our troops is up, the remaining weapons and equipment will be easy to deal with!"

    Zhou Weiguo chuckled. There were seven thousand people. As long as he relied on the Huaihe River, he would dare to have a big fight with the little devil here. After chasing him for so long, if he didn't eat this little devil, he, Zhou Weiguo, would not be a man.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
