Chapter 119 Commander Yan’s thoughts and helplessness!
Kenanpo in Ji County, Shanxi Province.
"I'm so happy, so happy!"
"Commander Yan, this is really great news!"
Sun Chu hurriedly ran towards Commander Yan with a telegram, shouting as he ran.
He was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and a pair of slightly faded cloth shoes.
Commander Yan, wearing a pair of round glasses, looks very kind.
At first glance, this is a local rich man from the countryside in Jin.
Seeing Sun Chu coming, Commander Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "Cui Ya, what good news is this that makes you so happy?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Chu quickly handed the telegram in his hand to Commander Yan, and then said excitedly: "Commander, this is the telegram I just received."
"You can take a look, take a closer look."
"The Tiger Brigade never left Jin. This time, they completely wiped out the Sakata and Miyato Regiments."
"The most important thing is that the Tiger Brigade captured the Sakata Regiment's flag."
After hearing this, Commander Yan's hands trembled and the telegram almost fell to the ground.
You should know that Commander Yan studied in Japan and attended the Japanese Army Academy.
Therefore, Commander Yan understood very well the significance of the Japanese regimental flag to the Japanese.
Of course, Commander Yan understood better what the capture of the Japanese regiment flag meant to the Japanese.
"Cui Ya, is this regimental flag still in the hands of the Tiger Brigade?"
Commander Yan was excited for a while, and after he calmed down, he looked at Sun Chu and asked hurriedly.
"Sir, you are..."
Sun Chu did not answer Commander Yan's question, but said half a sentence to Commander Yan.
Although Sun Chu only said half a sentence, Commander Yan knew that Sun Chu had guessed his thoughts.
"That's right, Cuiya, I just want the regimental flag."
"I'm the commander of the Second War Zone. I can definitely hold a press conference."
"Let the people of the whole country see the anti-Japanese situation in our Shanxi area. This will benefit our Shanxi area and even more so our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
Since Sun Chu already knew what he was thinking, Commander Yan had nothing to hide.
Instead, he spoke his thoughts openly.
It's just that this is difficult.
Not to mention that the Huben Brigade is now considered the central army, Zhou Weimin alone might not agree.
"Sir, this is not going to be easy."
Sun Chu thought carefully for a while, then whispered to Commander Yan.
"Why is it difficult to do?"
"Is the Tiger Guards in Jin territory? Am I the commander of Jin territory?"
"The mountain city is a long way away. If something happens to the regimental flag on the way, how can we publicize it and inspire the people across the country?"
Commander Yan narrowed his eyes and said lightly.
After hearing this, Sun Chu knew that Commander Yan was planning to use his power to suppress Zhou Weimin and the Huben Brigade.
But how can this be suppressed?
The military equipment and supplies of the Tiger Guards Brigade were never in the hands of Commander Yan, and besides, the Tiger Guards Brigade was not without support.
The Tiger Guards are backed by middle-aged people.
If the middle-aged man knew about this, it would not be easy even if he succeeded in getting the regimental flag from the Tiger Brigade!
"I understand what you mean, sir, but this Tiger Brigade is no ordinary unit."
"We in the Second War Zone have no right to command the Tiger Brigade."
"Zhou Weimin of the Tiger Brigade will not obey the orders of our Second War Zone either."
"Besides, the strength of the Tiger Brigade today is no longer what it was a few months ago."
"According to a telegram from Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment, the entire Tiger Brigade is equipped with German equipment."
"This time, the Tiger Brigade's actions are all within the defense zone of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"So from these telegrams, I infer that the Tiger Guard Brigade has nearly 20,000 men."
"The Tiger Brigade is now strong and well-equipped, and has no shortage of weapons and equipment."
"This time, the Tiger Brigade displayed hundreds of machine guns and mortars."
"What's even more exaggerated is that the Tiger Brigade also has a heavy artillery battalion, and these heavy artillery pieces are all German heavy artillery."
Sun Chu said so much just to tell Commander Yan that the Huben Brigade was not the troops he had imagined.
The Tiger Guards Brigade is very powerful.
Still not obeying our orders.
It is not possible to suppress the Tiger Guards by using the general trend.
After hearing this, Commander Yan understood what Sun Chu meant, but he really didn't want to give up the Japanese regimental flag.
And just as Commander Yan was thinking.
Sun Chuyou said, "Sir, according to the intelligence we received from the Eighth Route Army."
"The Central Army has sent members of the Military Control Commission to the Tiger Brigade."
"There are people from the Military Control Commission and the Military Commission's Inspection Office in the Tiger Brigade now."
Commander Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he would not be able to obtain the Japanese regiment flag from the Tiger Brigade.
It was originally thought that although the Tiger Brigade had contacted the Central Army, there were no Central Army personnel yet.
Since there are no people from the central army, we can use the general trend to suppress them.
But with the Central Army, Commander Yan had no way to use the general force to suppress them.
After all, the Central Army's overall situation is much stronger than Commander Yan's.
"Forget it, forget it, let Zhou Weimin handle it himself!"
Commander Yan sighed, then waved his hand and said.
Sun Chu also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. After all, Sun Chu really didn't want to provoke the Tiger Guards.
You have to know that the strength of the Tiger Brigade is really strong.
This can be seen from the fact that the Tiger Brigade completely wiped out the Sakata Regiment and the Miyato Regiment.
Not to mention that the Tiger Brigade also captured the Sakata Regiment's flag.
But when he thought of this, Sun Chu thought of something.
That is how to reward the Huben Brigade. After all, the Huben Brigade’s battle this time is in Jin!
"Sir, the Tiger Brigade has made such a great contribution this time. Shouldn't we show some appreciation?"
Sun Chu had just finished speaking.
Commander Yan snorted coldly and said, "What's the meaning? The Tiger Guard Brigade is not under the jurisdiction of our Second War Zone."
"Let Shancheng express himself!"
After hearing this, Sun Chu said nothing more.
However, Sun Chu always wanted to have some contact with Zhou Weimin. He wanted Zhou Weimin's access to military supplies.
A few days ago, Sun Chu went to Chidong County in person.
Chidong County was the defense zone of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Sun Chu went there for inspection, but there was another sworn brother of Commander Yan in Chidong County, Qiao Anbang.
Qiao Anbang is a famous businessman in Jin.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army received a lot of funding from Qiao Anbang, so when they arrived in Chidong County, they had to go and see Qiao Anbang no matter what.
But when they arrived at the Qiao family compound where Qiao Anbang lived, they found a platoon of soldiers.
These soldiers were obviously not from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Because these soldiers are all equipped with German equipment.
According to Qiao Anbang's answer, these soldiers were brought back by his daughter Qiao Linwei.
All of a sudden, Sun Chu realized that these soldiers were from the Tiger and Leopard Brigade.
It was at that time that Sun Chu wanted to contact Zhou Weimin.
Unfortunately, Qiao Linwei was not there at the time, and there was no way to ask Qiao Linwei.
However, Sun Chu saw the weapons and equipment that Qiao Linwei brought back.
They are all German equipment, enough to equip an entire battalion. This shows how much Zhou Weimin values and cares for Qiao Linwei.
So Sun Chu became interested in the Qiao family.
Sun Chu wanted to contact Zhou Weimin through Qiao Linwei.
