Chapter 608: Don't Be Discouraged

The commander of the Qin detachment of the First Army Subdivision of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region directly expressed his attitude after coming to the headquarters, and after saluting Chief of Staff Ni and Huang Zhen, the commander of the Qin detachment sat next to Sun Weiguo.

Deputy Commander Wang's brows furrowed slightly, while Chief of Staff Ni looked at Captain Qin with more interest.

At present, there are political commissar Huang Zhen, the commander of the Qin detachment of the First Army Division, who supports Sun Weiguo's battle plan, while those who oppose it are Deputy Commander Wang, the commander of the Fourth and Fifth Army Divisions.

"Commander, commissar, deputy commander, chief of staff."

Just when the confrontation began to emerge in the military region headquarters, the commander of the Gui detachment of the Second Army Division and the Zhang detachment commander of the Third Army Division walked in from outside.

The divisional units were formed from the detachments organized by the 129th Division, and the commander of each divisional division was also the head of the detachment.

The commanders of the five military divisions all arrived, and the personnel of the military district headquarters were all in place.

Chief of Staff Ni gave a detailed account of Sun Weiguo's stormy battle plan, and he asked Captain Gui and Captain Zhang to make a statement.

The Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region needs to first unify opinions internally, and then they will report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and ask the head of the headquarters for their opinions.

If even the majority of personnel within the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region did not support it, then there was naturally no need to submit this battle plan to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Commander, I support the chief of staff's operational plan, our Second Army subdivision can contain the Japanese troops in Jingcheng County, or enter Xiyang County to cooperate with the new Second Brigade troops, Chief of Staff Sun, our Second Army subdivision troops will be deployed by you, and we promise to complete the combat mission you have assigned."

After the captain of the Gui detachment learned about the situation, he directly expressed his attitude.

Previously, when the Jindong Combat Corps was formed, the troops of the Qin Detachment Commander and the Gui Detachment Commander were temporarily under the command of Sun Weiguo.

The two of them have an understanding of Sun Weiguo, and they admire Sun Weiguo's command ability.

At the same time, they also knew that all the troops of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region were in a relationship of lip to death, and if the New Second Brigade was defeated, it would naturally be easy for the Japanese army to deal with their troops, and on the contrary, as long as the troops of the New Second Brigade were present, the Japanese troops would never take action against their troops.

"It's three votes against three votes now, Captain Zhang, what do you mean?" Chief of Staff Ni looked at Captain Zhang, and he asked.

Captain Zhang's vote is very important, if he votes against it, then Sun Weiguo's battle plan this time will be completely shattered.

"Captain Zhang, you have to think clearly, if the troops start fighting, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out." The commander of the Fifth Army Division muttered softly.

"I abstain." Captain Zhang said calmly.

"Send a secret telegram to headquarters to report the contents of the storm operation plan, and request an immediate response from headquarters."

Chief of Staff Ni immediately began to give orders, saying that the staff officers began to get busy, and Deputy Commander Wang and the others did not ask anything.

Obviously, Chief of Staff Ni voted in favor, so the result was one abstention, four votes in favor, and three votes against.

"COMMANDER, IF WE REALLY WANT TO TAKE ACTION, THE NEW SECOND BRIGADE HAS TO GIVE US A LITTLE EQUIPMENT, THE LITTLE POSSESSIONS OF OUR MILITARY DIVISION TO CONTAIN THE JAPANESE TROOPS ARE NOT ENOUGH, I DON'T WANT MUCH, TWO TANKS, A 105MM CANNON, PLUS THIRTY LIGHT AND HEAVY MACHINE GUNS." The commander of the Fifth Army Division continued to speak.

"The head of the headquarters will definitely not agree, such a plan is too risky, and it is simply going to die. Commander, I think it's better to divide the tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery of the new 2nd Brigade troops, so that the new 2nd Brigade troops can break through as soon as possible. The commander of the Fourth Army Division said lightly, he did not think that the head of the headquarters would agree.

"I don't want the equipment of the new Second Brigade, and the tanks will not be driven by anyone in our military division, and it is a waste to give them to us. Even if our troops have the equipment of the New Second Brigade, they will not be able to fight such a battle, and the achievements of the New Second Brigade are obvious to all. Captain Qin said in an unkind tone.

"Naturally, you have weapons and equipment, if your Fifth Army Division can annihilate a wing of the Japanese army, won't these weapons be given to you as well? Not to mention that you can win battles with the same weapons, even if you are given the same weapons, you will not be able to fight the tough battles that the New Second Brigade has fought. Captain Gui also began to speak.

"We are indeed inferior to the chief of staff in command, the same troops, the same equipment, I can't fight those battles, a county brigade in Nanguancun can completely annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army, a regiment in the northwest of Shanxi can completely annihilate a wing of the Japanese army, and a brigade of the new second brigade plus local troops can resist tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops, and this kind of command ability is not available to everyone." Captain Zhang also spoke.

Hearing that the commanders of the three army divisions began to speak for Sun Weiguo, the commanders of the fourth and fifth army divisions stopped talking.

"The head of the headquarters will definitely not agree." The commander of the Fifth Army Division said in a firm tone.

"The commander, the political commissar, and the head of the headquarters also need to be discussed, and they won't call back so quickly, why don't we break up the meeting first?" Deputy Commander Wang said.

"Commander, the head of the headquarters calls back." At this moment, a staff officer came over with a message.

"It must be a refusal of the combat order, and the head of the headquarters will definitely not agree."

"It's just, I called back so quickly, and I didn't even discuss it, so I must have refused."

The two commanders of the Fourth and Fifth Divisions said that they were convinced that the head of the headquarters must be opposed to the battle plan.

"Weiguo, you have to understand the current situation of our troops, you go back first and prepare to disperse and evacuate Pingding County." Deputy Commander Wang also hurriedly said.

The headquarters called back so quickly, and they felt that the head of the headquarters must have rejected Sun Weiguo's stormy battle plan.

"Commander, Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region sent a message." At this moment, another staff officer ran in and said.

"Commander Nie also sent a message?" Chief of Staff Ni was a little surprised.

"Weiguo, don't be discouraged, we are sending a telegram to the head of the headquarters, and I believe that the head of the headquarters will definitely change his mind." Political Commissar Huang Zhen comforted.

The staff officer who was holding the content of the telegram sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was a little crying and laughing, and he handed the telegram directly to Chief of Staff Ni.

Chief of Staff Ni took the telegram and looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and he hurriedly took the telegram from another staff officer.

All the telegrams sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and Commander Nie of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were in the hands of Chief of Staff Ni, and everyone looked at Chief of Staff Ni, who was waiting for Chief of Staff Ni to announce the contents of the telegram.

Now, even Huang Zhen and others, who supported Sun Weiguo's battle plan, believed that the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters must have rejected Sun Weiguo's battle plan.
