Chapter 2309 The tank that cannot be hidden
Although Zhao Zhiguo has done a lot of confidentiality work, the replacement of tanks by the First Army Division is still causing a stir in the surrounding areas.
Especially when the tanks passed through Commander Zhang's jurisdiction, the soldiers of the Northwest Army, who had been away from the battlefield for a long time, watched with excitement.
Although Commander Zhang ordered all ministries to keep Zhao Zhiguo's secret strictly confidential, the internal composition of the Northwest Army was complicated and the news still leaked out.
The little rumors about the First Military Division may be due to the promotion of certain people.
Among the forces surrounding the First Military Division, except for Commander Zhang's troops, they are all trying their best to find out the military strength of the First Military Division.
The matter of Zhao Zhiguo's acquisition of a large number of tanks began to ferment among the various forces.
Some people believe it, some people don't believe it.
Those who don’t believe it naturally have reasons for not believing it. The Eighth Route Army has only a small amount of money. Even if it doesn’t eat or drink, it can’t afford many tanks.
What's more, the later maintenance of the tank is also a huge expense.
The area currently controlled by the Eighth Route Army is almost the poorest place in the whole of China. It almost doesn’t have enough to eat. Do we have to raise a bunch of iron lumps?
What's more, purchasing foreign weapons requires foreign currency. There is no foreign currency for loans. But at this time, China's regular army is the Central Army. Who will provide large loans to purchase consumable weapons and ammunition?
Therefore, there are still many people who do not believe that the Eighth Route Army can obtain a large number of tanks.
However, some people firmly believe that this is true because these tanks entered Zhao Zhiguo's defense area.
In the past few years, the First Military Division has become a word that many people hear most often.
A unit abandoned by the Jinsui Army can be independent, so why can't it get enough tanks?
Many people have subconsciously believed that as long as they get involved with Zhao Zhiguo, almost nothing is impossible. Not to mention getting tanks, even bringing in heavenly soldiers and generals is not outrageous.
But a few people realized that the importance of the problem was not the tank, but who released the tank.
From the time the tanks entered China to Zhao Zhiguo's First Military Division, no matter which direction you walked, you would either pass through the Japanese-occupied area or the Kuomintang-controlled area.
The little devil is definitely not a good person, and he will not take the initiative to give weapons to Zhao Zhiguo and let Zhao Zhiguo fight them.
Since we can't go through the Japanese-occupied area, we have to go through the Kuomintang-controlled area.
Who allowed the equipment of the Eighth Route Army to pass through the Kuomintang-controlled area and directly enter the First Army Division?
Could someone be having an affair? When this problem arises, it becomes a serious problem, more serious than the delivery of tanks and artillery into the hands of Zhao Zhiguo!
"Check! If you find one, kill him!"
The attendant's room conveyed the order from the boss of the Central Army that they would never allow the Eighth Route Army to expand in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.
However, the boss of the Central Army has obviously forgotten the problem. There is no place for the Central Army in the north. In the Central Plains War that year, the Northwest Army and the Central Army were rivals.
Moreover, the First Military Division of the Eighth Route Army is currently clearly in a position to stabilize the surrounding forces.
Especially the current situation of the Northwest Army. The Central Army does not pay the troops or provide them with equipment. They rely on the Northwest Army to raise their own funds on the spot.
In other words, the orders of the Central Army boss have become useless in the Northwest Army.
The most important point is that the Northwest Army along the way is either taking advantage of Zhao Zhiguo, or there are really personnel deployed by the Eighth Route Army.
Who would stop his God of Wealth from giving him money? After all, in the eyes of some officers of the Northwest Army, Zhao Zhiguo is much more generous than the boss of the Central Army.
It is also a place where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the power of the Central Army is far from being able to influence the decision-making generals in the border areas.
"Commander-in-Chief, I heard that the Central Army has arranged for personnel to go to the Northwest Army's garrison. Do we need to arrange for personnel to go there?"
General Yan's headquarters has also been paying attention to the movements of the First Military Division.
In addition to the Eighth Route Army actively publicizing the fact that the First Army Division regained lost ground and advanced to the front line of the Yuntuo River, and the Jinsui Army also knew about it, mainstream newspapers in other places almost selectively forgot about it, even if
Not even a single word.
Obviously, with the rise of the First Military Division, the South has become increasingly wary of the First Military Division and even the entire Eighth Route Army.
Even if the Eighth Route Army defeated the Japanese army in North China, it would not get any propaganda from the south, and would even deliberately find trouble and slander it.
On the contrary, the First Military Division is equipping an unknown number of tanks, which has caused quite a stir, even greater than the impact of the First Military Division regaining lost ground.
"He is more stimulated than me now, haha... He can finally understand how I feel."
Of course Mr. Yan calls him the boss of the Central Army.
At this time, Mr. Yan felt even more gloating about misfortune.
When Zhao Zhiguo was not that powerful, he only threatened the interests of the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army almost sat back and watched.
Nowadays, the strength of the First Army Division is no longer within the control of the Central Army.
"If the Eighth Route Army has a stable source of weapons, hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops are equipped with tanks and more advanced weapons, especially ammunition, and there is a sufficient supply, I am afraid that we will no longer have a foothold in the north." Jinsui
said the military officer.
If the hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops have a stable source of weapons, the Eighth Route Army's capabilities will quickly double the number of hundreds of thousands of troops.
An army of one million people, even if they are not equipped with enough tanks, they will definitely become the Lord of the North if they just change all the individual weapons in their hands.
"Do you think that if the First Army Division is not equipped with tanks, we will still be their opponents?"
Mr. Yan is very sober. The Jinsui Army alone can no longer compete with Zhao Zhiguo.
Even if Zhao Zhiguo equips tanks, they can only watch and listen!
"Are we just going to watch helplessly like this? Once the conflict between the two sides reaches an irreconcilable point, our Jinsui Army will probably be the first victim."
"That's it. We will no longer interfere in the affairs of the First Military Division. If necessary, we will give up Bingzhou Airport."
Mr. Yan didn't want to resist anymore because he saw a result. Whether he resisted or not, the Jinsui Army would be the first to disappear.
"Ah? Give up the airport? Then I am Bingzhou City..."
The officers of the Jinsui Army did not dare to accept this fact.
If the Jinsui Army never returns to Bibizhou City, it means that a large number of Jinsui Army children will never be able to return to their hometown.
"Hey... maybe there will be another chance in the future. At least for now, we can no longer be tough on the First Military Division, otherwise we will really have no chance to go back."
Mr. Yan has decided to soften his attitude towards the First Military Division.
Of course, his softening of attitude certainly does not mean letting everything go.
If we abandon Bingzhou Airport and obtain a large amount of military supplies from Zhao Zhiguo, it may be a good choice.
