"Commander Long, it's a pity that Yunnan horse can't even eat horse meat!"
"Brother Chu, why are you eating horse meat? It's not delicious. Today we're eating mutton. Authentic black goat. Enough!"
After seeing the terrifying firepower of Wei Shenpao, Long Zhizhou became more and more hospitable to the people of Yunnan Province, and now Chu Xiong became more and more pleasing to the eye.
He also saw that the artillery was not technically difficult. As long as he was willing, with the resources of Yunnan Province, it would be no problem for a regiment to have an artillery battalion. The shortcomings of the army's lack of heavy firepower could be considered to be made up for.
"Brother Chu, there is also that cannon that can hit tanks, hurry up, brother, I am full of expectations now!"
Chu Xiong has completely grasped the pulse of these military leaders. He really can't afford to start early without any profit. If you have milk, you are a mother. As long as the benefits are in place, the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army, as long as they are not here to grab territory in Yunnan Province, he will call you brothers. , this is all learned from the genre.
We call each other brothers in person, and we will never be soft-hearted when it's time to hand over the knife. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Chu Xiong thought of this and ordered in a very cooperative manner:
"Liu Erpao, show your skills to Commander Long!"
"Commander Long, can you set up a target a hundred meters away, using a steel plate about one centimeter, which should at least exceed the shell of the Japanese Iron Bastard?
This Mulan cannon is a tortoise shell specially used to fight Japanese enemies, as well as a bunker;
The effect depends on our Liu Erpao, he is our second best gunner! "
Liu Erpao originally wanted to correct his division commander, but he was now as good as Zhou Dapao, so he stopped talking;
You still have to be low-key as a person, but you can be high-key when having sex!
Ten minutes later, the target hardened and was at least more than 12 centimeters thick.
After the target was erected, Liu Erpao's deputy gunner Li Sanpao stuffed an armor-piercing explosive shell from the back of the barrel, and then patted Liu Erpao on the shoulder.
In order to show off his artillery skills, Liu Erpao simply took aim and then decisively pulled the trigger. A rocket trailed a long tail flame and accurately hit the bullseye;
The warhead exploded just as it tore through the steel plate, blasting a hole as big as a bowl in the steel plate.
Long Zhizhou was completely convinced. He looked at Hua Mulan Pao as if he were looking at his favorite third concubine, and said to himself:
"It's a good thing. I'll keep walking around with Brother Chu in the future. If he likes it in Dian Province, I can just change it!"
(Except the third aunt)
"Brother Chu, thank you. We are all brothers. If you need anything in the future, just say anything. It's all for fighting the Japanese."
Yan Haoyu on the side smiled knowingly at Zhang Yu, saying it was the teacher's fault.
Chu Xiong was also a guy who couldn't afford to get up early without any benefit, so he casually mentioned the matter of young men:
"Commander Long, my brother has military orders and may go to Burma to fight at any time. The strong men should be in place as soon as possible, and I should also carry out adaptive training as soon as possible;
Youdao said that they sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war. They are all soldiers from Yunnan Province. If they train a day earlier, they will sacrifice less in war, right? "
Long Zhizhou nodded in agreement, happily accepting the matter, and then said:
"Brother, I have already prepared for you the young men. They are all veterans who have been training for more than a year;
My sons from Yunnan Province go abroad to fight in order to promote our power in China. They are all good soldiers, so I will hand them over to you;
Brother Chu, Brother Yan, Brother Zhang, I entrust these tens of thousands of Dian people to you. For the sake of my brother, I only hope that you can treat them as one of your own. Sacrifice on the battlefield will definitely be inevitable, but May their sacrifice be worthwhile. "
Chu Xiong and the other three saluted Long Zhizhou cautiously and promised that they would never treat him differently.
After the major matter was resolved, the next step was to discuss some details, including the transfer of Wei Yixiao's cannon blueprints, the supplement of Hua Mulan's cannon shells, the training of artillery, etc. Long and Chu decided on a general direction and would send people later. Come over to make detailed contacts, and the matter of helping to train artillerymen will naturally be left to Liu Erpao.
Mulan's cannonballs were equipped with 20 rounds for each gun this time, which was enough for them to use for a while, because they didn't bring much themselves;
After being transported from the base area in the future, the Yunnan Army can exchange grain or young men, 50 young men for one cannon, and 5 young men for one cannonball.
After Chu Xiong and others left with 10,000 men, Long Zhizhou put away his smile and asked Liu Wentai:
"Mr. Liu, what do you think of Chu Xiong and the others?"
Liu Wentai thought for a while and said:
"General Chu is a very pragmatic person, and he is also a rule-abiding and honest person. There are still some differences from other Eighth Route Army soldiers. On the basis of ensuring the interests of both parties, they can exchange their needs;
As for General Yan and General Zhang, they almost never made their voices heard from beginning to end, which shows that General Chu can fully speak on their behalf.
If I guessed correctly, General Zhao Sihu and General Luo Weimin of Zhongtiao Mountain were also from Chuxiong. They were two whole armies. During the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Zhongcai made wedding clothes for others. "
The expression on Long Zhizhou's face was unpredictable. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said:
"Mr. Liu, this Chu Xiong's methods are indeed superb. Do you think it is possible for him to make the entire expeditionary force theirs in the future?"
Liu Wentai was excited at first, and then thought about it, shaking his head and nodding for a while. Long Zhizhou just waited quietly and did not affect his thinking.
After a while, Liu Wentai seems to have the answer:
"Commander, it's really possible. I have a question. I wonder if I should talk about it or not?"
Long Zhizhou gestured to him, and he roughly guessed his concerns.
"Chu Xiong's methods are so good that people cannot guard against them. Commander, aren't you worried that he will reach out to Yunnan Province?"
"Mr. Liu, I knew you had this question, but I can tell you for sure that he won't!
At least not until there is a clear distinction between them and the species. "
Liu Wentai looked at Long Zhizhou in confusion. This is the difference between aides and heroes.
"Mr. Liu, Dian Province is located in the southwest corner and has never been able to influence the disputes in the world;
Since ancient times, those who have competed in the Central Plains, once the winner is decided, the Yunnan Province can be decided with a single statement from the Central Plains dynasty.
In troubled times, I, Long, will create provinces and autonomous regions to ensure stability;
When the world is at peace, no matter who makes a statement, our Dian Province will safeguard the unification of China.
Now that the world is uncertain and even crops are not reaching out to our Yunnan Province, how can the shrewd Chuxiong reach out to our Yunnan Province? "
After listening to this, Liu Wentai admired Commander Long for he was indeed a tycoon, just as Xu Zijiang commented on Meng Degong - a capable minister in times of trouble is a tycoon in troubled times!
Dian Province does not have the capital to compete for world hegemony. All they can do is to use the capital of Dian Province to find a good background when the world is at peace.
There is no problem in changing the governor of one Yunnan province to another. Now he finally understands a lot of things. No wonder the 10,000 men given by Commander Long this time are all veterans.
They may not be optimistic about the Eighth Route Army yet, but that doesn't stop them from leaving some incense and even hedging their bets.
After understanding this, Liu Wentai is full of expectations for his future.
At the independent division station, Chu Xiong general received more than 3,000 strong men from Long Zhizhou, all of them were dispersed and distributed to each battalion, and the troops began to organize targeted training;
He planned to spend half a month to integrate these young men into the independent division's tactical system. When all the young men from Shu Province arrived, he would start organizing mountain jungle warfare training.
At the same time, he sent the Snow Leopards out in advance and asked them to conduct reconnaissance in the northern part of the Emerald Country. The focus was to find out the ground conditions, enemy conditions, and local people, so as to prepare in advance for overseas battles. Chu Xiong never fought an unprepared battle.
