While Zhao Gang was still worried that Chu Yunfei would be the first to attack Heyuan County, Chu Yunfei was slowly marching on the mountain road with the entire 358th regiment.
However, he was in a very bad mood.
Originally, he thought that he and the 358th Regiment had started setting off yesterday afternoon and should be able to reach Heyuan County soon.
But he didn't expect that it would take him more than an hour for the whole group to gather.
Then the whole group set off and within 2 hours of walking, it got dark.
After dark, the marching speed of the whole regiment slowed down visibly.
And every half hour, in addition to First Battalion Commander Qian Bojun, the battalion commanders of the 234th Battalion and the Artillery Battalion began to come over one after another, shouting that it was getting dark and the brothers did not want to leave, so they applied to camp in place and rest. .
Chu Yunfei's nose was almost crooked with anger. It took so long for them to walk less than twenty miles.
It can almost be said that we haven’t left Sipan Town yet!
In this case, how could he agree to the request of this group of people?
Immediately he waved his riding whip and whipped several battalion commanders, and ordered everyone to light torches and continue marching.
The battalion commanders were beaten, but they dared not speak out in anger. They could only shout loudly to their men to speed up and leave quickly.
But which of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment is brave enough to fight?
Everyone was very dissatisfied when they heard that they had to march with torches late at night. They talked and made noises, but they moved as slowly as a snail, making it clear that they were unwilling to cooperate.
…
In the first battalion at the forefront of the team, deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui heard about the farce coming from behind, and couldn't help but come over and whisper to the battalion commander Qian Bojun, who had always been honest:
"Bing Zuo, you are still wise. I heard that several other battalion commanders were beaten by Tuan Zuo!"
When Qian Bojun heard this, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes and he sneered:
“Those idiots just can’t see the situation clearly.
Now it was clear that Chu Yunfei wanted to make a great contribution so that he could be promoted to major general and brigade commander, but they deliberately held back. It would be strange if he didn't get slapped. "
"But the camp, did our battalion rush all the way to Heyuan County like this?
That little devil is not easy to mess with, right? "
Zhang Fugui was very unhappy.
The war was fought casually?
That can kill people!
"Hmph, I heard from Chu Yunfei that the independent group on the Eighth Route is also targeting Heyuan County. Do you think we can get ahead of the Eighth Route with our current speed?"
Qian Bojun glanced at him.
“Hey, that’s definitely not possible.
Those mud-legged guys have iron legs. I heard that even the little devils driving trucks and tricycles can’t catch up with them. Our 358th regiment wants to get ahead of them, but that’s a fool’s errand. "
Zhang Fugui shook his head.
"Isn't that okay?"
Qian Bojun asked sadly.
"High! Camp seat!
I also said why are you rushing to take the lead this time? It turns out that’s the case!
sharp! sharp! "
Zhang Fugui admired him so much.
He felt that Qian Bojun, after this setback, had become a ruthless character.
This couldn't help but make him a little excited. He and Qian Bojun were brothers who wore the same pants. If Qian Bojun became prosperous, then he, Zhang Fugui, would definitely take advantage of it!
Wonderful!
…
Chu Yunfei sat high on his horse, and when he saw his team moving slower than a snail, he couldn't help but get angry.
At this rate, we would not be able to reach Heyuan County in another three days and three nights.
He ordered on the spot:
"Sun Ming, you and the security company go there and pull out all those who are deliberately delaying and refuse to leave and kill them for me!"
"What? Killed?
Tuan seat, is it too heavy?
It would be fine if I didn't give him two whips. "
Sun Ming was very hesitant.
They were all brothers who were troublemakers in the same group, and they were killed just because they walked slowly. This is too exaggerated.
"What? Sun Ming, my words don't work?"
Chu Yunfei sneered.
"Tuanzuo, I——"
Sun Ming's face was very ugly.
His loyalty to Chu Yunfei can be learned from the sun!
Now being questioned by Chu Yunfei, he suddenly felt insulted.
"Execute the order immediately!"
Chu Yunfei shouted.
"Yes! Danzuo!"
Sun Ming immediately accepted the order and then rode off to do it.
After a while, Sun Ming and others shouted loudly from the road ahead:
"The group has orders, speed up!
Delay, delay, shoot immediately! "
At first, some people disapproved of their order and ridiculed them, convinced that they did not dare to kill people directly.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ming actually dragged out the few who danced the most happily and shot them dead on the roadside. Everyone immediately became honest and no longer dared to behave like monsters.
…
The people in the first battalion heard that people from the following battalions had been shot, and they couldn't help but feel very grateful to the battalion commander Qian Bojun.
Everyone thought: No wonder Yingzuo forced us to speed up. It turned out that he knew in advance that Tuanzuo would kill people.
As expected, he is Tuanzao’s number one confidant!
There were rumors in the previous series that Yingzao had fallen out of favor, and it turned out to be true!
If we follow him, we will have a bright future.
However, deputy battalion commander Zhang Fugui saw that the speed of the battalions behind him had increased, and he couldn't help but asked Qian Bojun worriedly:
"Ying Zuo, Tuan Zuo is so ruthless, it seems that Heyuan County is bound to win!
When the time comes, our first battalion won’t really be the first to charge, right?
Using our flesh and blood to attack the county town heavily defended by the Japs, isn't this asking us to die? "
"Hmph! Don't worry.
You don’t know about these people in our group?
It's amazing that Chu Yunfei can make them persist for an hour or two by killing people. I think after two hours at most, they will definitely not leave even if they are beaten to death.
I don't believe that Chu Yunfei can still shoot everyone? "
Qian Bojun sneered.
"Haha, that's right."
Zhang Fugui nodded repeatedly.
He knew that Chu Yunfei was a ruthless character, but he didn't believe that Chu Yunfei could be that stupid.
…
Sure enough, relying on Sun Ming's strong killing force, all the soldiers of the 358th regiment walked with torches for another hour, and the marching speed slowed down again.
The originally silent team also began to make noise.
All kinds of obscene words kept getting into Chu Yunfei's ears, and the content was nothing more than insults to his regiment for being inconsiderate of the soldiers below, treating his brothers like cattle and horses, etc.
Hearing the discussion of these guys, Chu Yunfei's hand holding the riding crop trembled.
With a raised eyebrow, Sun Ming was about to let Sun Ming continue killing people.
When Fang Ligong met him, he quickly suggested:
"Tuanzu, this is not the way to go.
Why not let the soldiers bury the pots and make rice first, and then leave after dinner? "
Chu Yunfei raised his wrist and saw that it was already half past eight in the evening, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement:
"All right.
Sun Ming, go and deliver the order, bury the pot and make rice, and leave in an hour! "
…
Chu Yunfei thought very well. It took him half an hour to prepare the meal. The soldiers could finish the meal in 20 minutes and still have 10 minutes to tidy up. An hour's rest time was more than enough.
However, what he didn't expect was that after 30 minutes, the cooking class showed no sign of cooking.
Seeing the soldiers in the regiment began to clamor:
"We want to eat!"
"I'm starving, where's the food?"
"Didn't the group come to eat? What bastard swallowed our food?"
"Let's find a group seat. We've been traveling for so long and have no food. How can we do this?"
"Let's go! Go to the group leader and ask for an explanation!"
…
Chu Yunfei had to send Sun Ming to call the cooking company commander Han Laosan:
"Han Laosan, what are you doing in the cooking company? Haven't you cooked yet?
The soldiers are all waiting to eat! "
Seeing his veins exposed and an angry look on his face, Han Laosan was so scared that he was sweating profusely and quickly defended:
"Tuanzuo, the night dew is heavy, and the trees we cut down on the roadside are too wet, making it difficult to make a fire!"
"What? You haven't made a fire yet?
I'll kill you guys who are ruining the military plane! "
Chu Yunfei almost fainted from anger and reached out to draw his gun.
He couldn't believe that the 358th Regiment, which he had always thought was well-trained, turned out to be so outrageous!
It's been half an hour and there's not even a fire lit. Isn't this a joke?
If this were on the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that the soldiers would fight hungry?
Han Laosan felt very wronged and thought to himself: If those guys under me don't work hard, what can I do?
It's not like you, the group, are messing around and making everyone dissatisfied!
It would be great to sleep in the town.
But he kept begging for mercy:
"Tuanzu, please forgive me! Tuanzu, please forgive me!
The fire has just been lit. In half an hour, we will definitely be able to cook! "
"Waste! Waste!
I'll kill you and let you waste the opportunity to fight! "
Chu Yunfei still shouted that he wanted to kill someone.
He was really pissed off today.
Fang Ligong quickly stopped:
"Team leader, Han Laosan is an old brother of our group, we should spare his life!"
Chu Yunfei stamped his foot fiercely and said angrily:
"I'll give you the last 20 minutes. If you don't cook in 20 minutes, all your cooking companies will be taken out and killed!"
"Yes Yes!
Group seats, I promise to do a good job. "
Han Laosan kowtows like pounding garlic.
…
After Han Laosan left, Fang Ligong couldn't help but said slowly to Chu Yunfei:
"Tanzuo, do you see it?"
"Hmph, of course!
It's just that I don't want to fight the little devil!
These bastards thought they could threaten me, Chu Yunfei, in this way!
I didn't know before that my 358th regiment was actually filled with these courageous cowards! "
Chu Yunfei sneered.
Today's good dramas one after another are all aimed at achieving one goal - to avoid fighting with the little devils.
As soon as Chu Yunfei said these words, Fang Ligong felt offended.
He is also the one who doesn’t want to attack Heyuan County!
He felt a little unhappy, but he still controlled the expression on his face and tentatively asked Chu Yunfei:
"Members of the group, why don't we deal with Heyuan County's affairs, or should we take a long-term approach?
Now the soldiers are not confident in taking Heyuan County, so they are delaying in every possible way.
If we just go to attack a town or a gun tower, the soldiers will never do this! "
"Humph, no need to discuss it further!
I've made up my mind!
Heyuan County must be won!
Brother Ligong, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Whether you and I can show our ambitions as soon as possible depends on this time! "
Chu Yunfei said firmly.
Fang Ligong understood that what Chu Yunfei meant was that as long as he captured Heyuan County, he and himself would be promoted, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Regiment chief of staff is not as good as brigade chief of staff or division chief of staff!
He nodded quickly and said:
"In that case, let me go and keep an eye on the cooking company and let the soldiers eat quickly."
"Okay, then let's thank you for your hard work, brother."
…
I don't know whether Chu Yunfei's attitude of just about to shoot Han Laosan scared him, or whether Fang Ligong went to the cooking company in person to watch them cook. After 20 minutes, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment finally had their meal.
Moreover, in front of Chu Yunfei, the officers of each battalion did not dare to deduct food from the soldiers, so this meal was a rare meal for all the soldiers.
After having a full meal, the lower-level soldiers of the 358th Regiment stopped making assassinations. When Chu Yunfei announced that they would continue marching, they got up and continued walking honestly.
Seeing this situation, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but nodded slightly and calmed down a little.
However, the good times did not last long. After walking for about an hour, several battalion commanders came over in turn to apply for camping and rest, saying that the soldiers had been walking for several hours and could no longer walk.
If we continue walking, I am afraid that a large number of people will be left behind. Even if they reach Heyuan County, they will not have much fighting power.
Chu Yunfei took a look and saw that there were indeed many soldiers walking around. They were already crumbling. He suddenly became angry again and cursed:
"I asked you to train troops before, how did you do it?
Haven't even practiced basic marching yet?
They're all a bunch of trash! "
He thought of the marching momentum of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and couldn't help but feel very ashamed, and thought to himself: It is in vain that Chu Yunfei studied hard for many years at Huangpu Military Academy, but in leading troops, he is far inferior to that mud-legged Li Yunlong!
The battalion commanders were all speechless when Chu Yunfei scolded them angrily, lying down and pretending to be dead.
But in their hearts, they couldn't help but curse: Tuanzuo, you rode on the horse all the way without any effort. How dare you tell the soldiers?
Fang Ligong saw the awkward atmosphere and quickly stood up to smooth things over:
"Members of the group, it's really getting late. Why don't we let the soldiers camp now? At worst, we can set off early tomorrow morning?"
Chu Yunfei still had to give him face.
He raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, and could only order in a cold voice:
"Order the soldiers to camp on the spot!
Brother Li Gong, go and set up the sentry in person, don't let us be taken over by the enemy, that would be a joke. "
"yes!"
…
Early the next morning, before it was fully light, Chu Yunfei urged the soldiers to get up and set off again.
In the meantime, there are naturally various overt and covert delays.
After walking for three days in a row, most of the dry food was eaten, but the 358th Regiment was still at least a day and a half away from Heyuan County.
Chu Yunfei was so angry that his throat was full of smoke, but he was helpless.
Along the way, he killed many people, but various obstacles still made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire.
At this moment, he deeply understood why their Jinsui Army collapsed at the first touch when the Japs attacked.
How could a team like this not collapse at the first touch when encountering the Japs in their prime?
