Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 1032 We must delegate authority and let them do it.

He didn't originally need to get involved in this conflict; he could have simply ensured that he controlled central and southern Shanxi. But now, that's no longer possible.

Chief of Staff Yang had followed this man for many years, and the displeased look on his face told him that the man was using very foul language. As for who he was cursing, he didn't know, but he was definitely cursing someone.

"Sir, this has nothing to do with us, does it?"

It's ok.

"Idiot." Yan Laoxi gave him a disdainful look; "If you could understand this problem, you would have been in this position long ago."

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare," Chief of Staff Yang quickly lowered his head. He did have such thoughts, but he dared not express them.

“I don’t think you’d dare.” After saying that, he tugged at his cloak and said, “The Fifth War Zone cannot withstand such a large Japanese attack. If we don’t provide support here, the Japanese will soon defeat the Fifth War Zone. Once the Fifth War Zone falls into Japanese hands, they may very well outflank us from the south and launch a pincer attack. At that time, where do you think our hundreds of thousands of Shanxi troops will retreat to?”

As for heading northwest, those people probably wouldn't want me to go there, and besides, I had no intention of going anyway.

What did he do in the past? He was looked down upon by others. Over the years, what he did was neither good nor bad. But in any aspect, he was not a good person, and he was not happy to live under someone else's roof.

"Does the commander mean that we should organize troops to launch an offensive against the Japanese army?" Chief of Staff Yang asked.

if not.

Yan Laoxi had a headache just thinking about this. He just wanted to preserve his strength, but why was it so difficult? Ah... why was it so difficult? This was going to kill him.

"Let's convene a military conference."

Old Yan cursed and closed his eyes again. This time, he had no choice.

The Independent Brigade began to move north, and its massive force blocked the entire road. The theater command was worried that the Independent Brigade would be vulnerable to Japanese bomber attacks during its march, so it mobilized a squadron to escort the Independent Brigade.

Just now, several fighter jets flew over the Independent Brigade.

At the relatively wide edge of the road, Zhou Weiguo signaled Zhao Shoutian to stop the car, then got out and stared blankly at the passing vehicles.

"What are you thinking about?" Takeshita Shun, who came over later, asked with a cigarette in his mouth.

Looking at the group of soldiers chatting and laughing in the car, Zhou Weiguo sighed and said to Takeshita Shun, "I don't know if my decision was right or wrong."

This guy?

When did he become so sentimental? I've never seen him like this before. Sensing something was wrong, Takeshita Shun handed him a cigarette and asked, puzzled, "You're not usually a sentimental person. What's wrong with you this time?"

"Our Independent Brigade will be used as bait this time, and we will inevitably encounter a fierce attack from the Japanese army. I'm afraid many of our Independent Brigade members will not be able to come back."

That's true. This time, the Independent Brigade will act like a nail, constantly drawing the Japanese army's attacks from those towns in Area 6.

"Once you put on this uniform, you have no choice." Takeshita Shun thought for a moment after looking at the artillerymen passing by. "No need to rush. The Sichuan Army ahead has already built defensive fortifications. We will go over to take over and only do some repairs. The engineers have already set off. Mingzi and Wang Yun and their propaganda team have already gone over to call on the people to help build the defense line. As long as we dig deep enough, I think they can't do anything to us."

"That's the only way," Zhou Weiguo said with a smile to Takeshita Shun. "The mutton is already quite fatty. What, not planning to go out for a walk?"

Takeshita Shun glanced at the diva and said, "Let them enjoy this peaceful night for now."

These people won't show themselves yet. They'll at least wait until the fighting starts here before they really do. At that time, wouldn't it be the best way to retaliate by giving them a surprise attack?

Zhou Weiguo didn't say anything, just quietly watched the passing vehicles. When he saw that the convoy was almost over, he got into the car.

The vehicle traveled for two days before finally arriving at the brigade headquarters.

Upon entering the command post, Zhou Weiguo was immediately satisfied with what he saw.

Although the command post was located in the town, it was next to a hillside, from which he could see the situation ahead.

This time, the objective was to lure the Japanese army into a trap. Therefore, the Independent Brigade was to defend Xiushan Town, and 20 kilometers behind it was the county seat, a key transportation hub. Occupying that town would provide convenient access to the left, right, and south. This area was entrusted to the Independent Brigade and a regiment of the Guangxi Army for defense. Zhou Weiguo served as the commander, giving unified command to this force.

After observing the front lines for a while, Zhou Weiguo looked at the command post for a long time before saying, "Shoutian, inform everyone that we're going to the county town."

Ok……

Zhao Shoutian looked at him with a bewildered expression.

The second-in-command's troops have always been on the front lines, which is why the brigade headquarters is located here. But now, it seems to him that the second-in-command doesn't intend to command troops here.

"Second-in-command, isn't the brigade headquarters located here?" Zhao Shoutian asked.

Zhou Weiguo tapped the table and shook his head; "I'm not going to stay here. Since this area has been handed over to the Laiyi Regiment, let them take charge themselves. I'll go to the back."

You can't just rush to the front lines every time there's a battle; you have to give your men the authority to command.

Moreover, Sun Xinpu is fully capable of serving as a front-line commander, so there's no reason for him to hold on to him.

This matter was actually brought up by Takeshita Shun.

He was no longer the regimental commander he once was, but a brigade commander, leading several regimental commanders. He couldn't watch over them every moment like a nanny, otherwise they wouldn't be able to truly grow. If he wanted them to grow, he could only boldly delegate authority and let the regimental commanders take charge themselves, while he oversaw the overall situation from behind. If anyone was truly incompetent in command, he could then intervene and coordinate.

Zhou Weiguo had actually been considering this matter for a long time. However, in the past, the area defended by the independent brigade was not large, so even if he wanted to delegate authority, the possibility was not very high. But this time it was different. This time he was to guard an area with a radius of nearly 30 kilometers, and all of these areas would eventually fall into the direction of the county town.

Letting them try it out isn't a bad thing. It'll also be a good opportunity to see if my regimental commanders, without my command, can still make the Japanese army scream like they used to.

Don't be like Takeshita Shun told me, don't be too rigid in your thinking, or you'll forget how to fight a battle.
