Snow Leopard: Building the Strongest Elite Group through Robbery

Chapter 1185 The Soviet Army Marches South

Ma Hong asked again with an incredulous look in his eyes.

This...this is the key point.

Shouldn't the key point be that we are now rebels?

The chief of staff looked up at Ma Hong, utterly speechless. He also felt the Central Army was truly ruthless; just because they didn't go to the command post, they were branded as rebels and directly attacked.

What should he say?

"Yes, we are rebels now."

Hehehe...

He doesn't have the appetite to devour an entire division of mine.

Ma Hong narrowed his eyes; "Then let them see the might of my Northwest Army."

Half an hour later, Ma Hong was filled with despair. His cavalry had been intercepted by the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns, and his forces had been split into several pieces, allowing the enemy to gradually erode them.

One call after another was for help, but in the end, no one made any more calls, and all contact was completely cut off.

Fifteen minutes later, a truck pulled up in front of the house. The battle was over.

Sun Xinpu jumped out of the car and led his men inside. As soon as he entered, he saw a man tied up there, and several other officers standing there.

"You're quite sensible," Sun Xinpu said with a smile, turning to Gao Yun who had come with him.

Ha ha……

Gao Yun glanced at the group of people, signaled the soldiers to step forward and escort them away, and said, "Since you've made your choice, come with us to the command post."

The battle was over in less than an hour.

The three division commanders trembled upon hearing the news.

They were all wondering how long they could hold out if this force attacked them.

Ma Hong was brought over, and Xiao Ya went to wake up Zhou Weiguo.

Zhou Weiguo put on his military uniform and came out, glancing at the officer in his forties.

Sun Xinpu approached Zhou Weiguo and said, "The battle is over. More than 2,000 were killed, and more than 6,000 have surrendered and are under control."

Zhou Weiguo grunted and turned to look at the three division commanders who were standing there, not daring to utter a word. "What are you standing there for? Those six thousand or so men, you can distribute them yourselves. You have half an hour, is that enough?"

"Enough, enough, enough." The men nodded and bowed, then turned and left. They were happy to handle the issue of troop allocation, as for what Ma Hong thought about it.

It's none of their business.

"I protest, I object, I will appeal."

Zhou Weiguo glanced at him and chuckled; "You don't have a chance anymore. Next time, no, in your next life, if you want to intimidate someone, you'd better think twice about how much you're really capable of."

boom……

Gunshots rang out, and Ma Hong fell to the ground, motionless. Zhou Weiguo tightened his cloak and looked at the group of officers who had come with him.

"Two choices: first, go to their three divisions; second, join my independent brigade."

The group exchanged glances; naturally, they would choose the independent travel option.

“We’ll stay with the Independent Brigade,” the chief of staff said, taking a step forward.

The Northwest Army wore gray uniforms, which were very different from the Central Army. After Zhou Weiguo dismissed the servants, he said to Xiao Ya, "Send a telegram to Xi'an. The Independent Division was disobeying orders and has been annihilated by my Independent Brigade. We have also requested the cancellation of the Northwest Independent Division designation. As for the remaining troops, we have already divided them into the other three divisions."

That kid.

Xi'an City.

After reading the telegram, Commander Bai chuckled a few times and said to Khabayev beside him, "You say he's audacious, but he really did attack the Northwest Army. You say he's lawless, but he knows to attack without incorporating their forces."

"You know when to advance and when to retreat," Khabayev said from the side.

Little Zhuge put down the telegram and stood up. "Let's go see Fatty Ma. We still need to talk to him about this."

Fatty Ma was completely dumbfounded. In the time it took him to take a nap, his entire independent division was gone.

“Old Ma, this is not Zhou Weiguo’s fault. He didn’t obey orders before the battle, and I don’t think he will obey orders during the battle.”

Little Zhuge sat opposite; "Although this is meant to make an example of someone, no one can be blamed for it."

What else could he say? Fatty Ma's chubby face twitched.

They've all been wiped out, what else can he say?

“They deserve it, they really have no one to blame but Jiansheng, by doing this, hasn’t the Independent Brigade exposed its combat capabilities? Will the other side still underestimate us?”

This was the truth, but it was also somewhat hurtful. Commander Bai remained expressionless, but he was also thinking about this issue in his heart.

Now that his strength has been revealed, what will Nazarsky do next?

Zharsky heard in his office that the other side had wiped out a brigade of the Northwest Army in just one hour.

He was initially surprised, but then nodded thoughtfully. "The Northwest Army's equipment is too poor, while the Central Army's equipment is supplied by us. If they can't quickly resolve the battle with such equipment, I will be very disappointed in them."

The adjutant felt things weren't that simple and gave him a warning.

"General, our mission this time is to test the enemy's combat capabilities in order to determine our next move."

The implied meaning is obvious: we cannot be careless.

No matter what, the enemy had more than 8,000 men, and they were wiped out in just over an hour. This probably wasn't just due to equipment; their combat strength and personnel configuration were likely very powerful to begin with.

"Do we need to change our operational deployment?"

A flat push might not be appropriate.

Zharsky shook his head; "There's no need for that. They were able to advance so easily in the past because they hadn't encountered a truly powerful force, and this time, we'll show them what they were doing before—it was just playing house."

“Strange, what we’ve done doesn’t seem to have changed their deployment.”

The next morning, the latest news was the same as yesterday. There were no changes.

This left Kuroki Ichiro confused as he approached Zhou Weiguo; "Why would they do this?"

“They’ve never considered us as opponents, so how could they possibly prepare seriously? And that Zharsky, just a few months ago, was only a small company commander, but now he’s a division commander. His limitations restrict his thinking.”

It's putting a company commander in a difficult position to consider the overall situation of a division commander.

It's fair to say that they were doomed from the very beginning.

Tadayoshi Sano laughed out loud; "I've always thought that Tokyo was the most arrogant and complacent, but I never expected that the Northern Soviet Union would be even more arrogant than Tokyo."

Xiao Ya, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea, looked up at him.

"The Northern Soviet Union had every right to be arrogant. Its vast territory and advanced military industry were the foundation of its confidence."

emboldened.

Sano Tadashi nodded as if to add something, but before he could speak, Xu Hu walked over to Zhou Weiguo from outside.

"Brigade Commander, the enemy has moved."
