Chapter 280: The Tiger Guards in Northwest Shanxi are the only dominant force!
"Haha, I'm glad that Brother Kong doesn't mind." Zhou Weimin laughed when he saw Kong Jie's embarrassed expression.
In fact, Zhou Weimin could also understand Kong Jie's thoughts. He felt embarrassed, but was reluctant to give it up.
After all, their troops really lacked guns and ammunition, no, they lacked everything.
Zhou Weimin's Tiger Guards had no use for the Japanese weapons, so they were kept in the warehouse.
So every time Kong Jie came over, Zhou Weimin would give Kong Jie some of the Japanese weapons.
This time it was because Zhou Weimin was grateful for the help of the Eighth Route Army in the battle of Chidong County. Although there was no specific help, the intention was there after all.
On the other hand, Zhou Weimin was about to leave Jin and wanted to help Kong Jie in the end.
"Brother Kong, there's nothing to be embarrassed about between us. This time I'll give you 5,000 of the Japanese Type 38 rifles."
"Forty Type 96 light machine guns and thirty Type 92 heavy machine guns."
"Sixty boxes of grenades, forty boxes of various medicines, one hundred boxes of various canned goods, and ten boxes of your favorite canned fruits."
"Nine Type 70 mm infantry guns, grenade launchers, and mortars, a total of eighty."
"Radio 10..."
......
"But these weapons need to be delivered to you secretly. Give me an address and I will send someone to deliver it to you."
Zhou Weimin looked at the surprised Kong Jie and Brigade Commander Chen, smiled slightly, and then slowly spoke to Kong Jie.
In fact, these are not all the Japanese weapons in the Huben Army’s warehouse. You should know that the Huben Army liberated all the counties occupied by the Japanese in northwest Shanxi.
The Japanese weapons seized here are no less than those seized in the battle of Chidong County.
Even more, but Zhou Weimin also needs to arm some of these Japanese weapons to those who have surrendered to the Tiger Guards.
But in general, the Japanese Tiger Guards have a lot of weapons.
"Wei Min, on behalf of my unit, thank you." Brigade Commander Chen reacted faster than Kong Jie. After Zhou Weimin finished speaking, Brigade Commander Chen stood up, saluted Zhou Weimin, and said.
"Wei Min, thank you." After hearing what Brigade Commander Chen said, Kong Jie also hurriedly said to Zhou Weimin.
At this moment, Brigade Commander Chen felt that he had made a huge profit. With so many weapons, ammunition and supplies, the combat effectiveness of the troops could be raised to a higher level.
Of course, what Brigade Commander Chen cared about most were the medicines and radios, which were the most scarce things for the Eighth Route Army.
As for the fact that Zhou Weimin was given to Kong Jian, that's why Brigade Commander Chen was so happy.
What a joke! In the eyes of Brigade Commander Chen, isn’t Kong Jie his, Brigade Commander Chen?
What followed was the gratitude expressed by Kong Jie and Brigade Commander Chen to Zhou Weimin. Zhou Weimin really couldn't bear this kind of gratitude.
After chatting for a while, the conversation ended.
In short, both parties were very satisfied with the conversation, especially Brigade Commander Chen, who was the most satisfied.
Not only did it solve the problem of getting along with the Huben Army in northwest Shanxi in the future, but it also obtained so many weapons and equipment.
Zhou Weimin was also satisfied. The regular Eighth Route Army withdrew from northwestern Shanxi, and the Tiger and Leopard Army finally dominated northwestern Shanxi.
Moreover, Brigade Commander Chen was also willing to help the Huben Army recruit soldiers and expand the army, so there was no obstacle to recruiting soldiers.
After Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jiezhi left.
Xu Hu, who had been standing next to Zhou Weimin, looked at him with some confusion and asked, "Commander, why are you so kind to the Eighth Route Army?"
In Xu Hu's opinion, the Huben Army was so powerful that there was no need to treat the Eighth Route Army like this.
"I said they would conquer the world in the future, do you believe it?"
"There's an old saying: 'He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world; he who loses the hearts of the people loses the world.' You've heard it, right?"
"Look at the troops in the country now. Which one would treat the people the way the Eighth Route Army did?"
"This world belongs to the people. If the people recognize you, you can own this world."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Zhou Weimin smiled slightly, and then slowly spoke to Xu Hu.
But Xu Hu didn't understand at all, nor did he understand what Zhou Weimin meant.
"Master, I don't understand." Xu Hu said very bluntly.
"Okay, if you don't understand, don't ask. Can't we just use some weapons we don't need and make friends with the Eighth Route Army?"
"Speaking of the relationship between me and Brother Kong, you are no stranger to it. By the way, I'll leave the matter of delivering the weapons to you. Please keep it a secret."
After hearing what Xu Hu said, Zhou Weimin felt like he was talking to a cow, so he spoke loudly to Xu Hu.
"Yes!" Xu Hu responded after hearing this.
He met with Sun Chu, Brigade Commander Chen, Kong Jie, and had conversations with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army.
The results are relatively good.
The whole morning had passed, so after driving Xu Hu away, Zhou Weimin went to have dinner with Qiao Linwei.
On the other hand, after Sun Chu returned, he telegraphed Commander Yan and told him what had happened.
Commander Yan also breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the Huben Army would leave Jin at the end of the year.
After all, the Huben Army developed too rapidly and had strong combat effectiveness. Staying in Jin would be a threat to the Jinsui Army.
As for Zhou Weimin's ideas, as long as the Huben Army is willing to leave Jin, everything will be fine.
Moreover, Commander Yan will also help the Huben Army move south.
Commander Yan telegraphed Sun Chu, asking him to wait until Zhou Weimin's wedding before returning.
Sun Chu agreed readily.
There was a major purge going on within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Sun Chu was happy to hide in Hutou Mountain at this time.
You know, if you go back now, there will be a lot of trouble.
Commander Yan also wanted to protect Sun Chu, so he let Sun Chu stay in Hutou Mountain.
After Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie returned to their residence, they also prepared to send a telegram to their superiors, but they did not have a radio.
So Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie found Chief of Staff Shen Fei and wanted to borrow the Tiger Guards' radio station.
Chief of Staff Shen Fei agreed immediately. It was not a big deal, so he let Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie use the radio station of the General Staff.
Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie reported the matter to their superiors at the General Staff Headquarters, and their superiors were very satisfied with the conversation.
Let Brigade Commander Chen take full responsibility.
Brigade Commander Chen thought for a while, then went to find Zhou Weimin again. It was still several days before Zhou Weimin's wedding.
Brigade Commander Chen planned to make good use of this time to return to the base, and came to see Zhou Weimin to say goodbye.
Of course Kong Jie will leave with him.
After hearing what Commander Chen said, Zhou Weimin thought for a moment, then turned to Xu Hu beside him and said, "Xu Hu, Commander Chen is about to go back."
"Go to the logistics department to get the weapons and equipment, and then take a battalion of troops with you along with Brigade Commander Chen."
After hearing Zhou Weimin's words, Xu Hu saluted and said, "Yes!"
Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Jie expressed their gratitude again, and then left with Xu Hu.
On the way, Brigade Commander Chen had already figured out what to do with this batch of weapons and equipment, but Kong Jie didn't get any of them.
However, Kong Jie was assigned a radio station, which made him happy.
