Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong drank the whole night, and at dawn, they helped each other out of the hall.
Fang Ligong reluctantly stood up straight and saluted Chu Yunfei with a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "I hope brother Yunfei's choice is correct. I'm afraid he won't serve in the army again after he goes back, but it also saves you and me." The embarrassment of brothers meeting on the battlefield.”
Chu Yunfei supported Fang Ligong and said: "Brother Ligong, please don't forget that Xie Baoqing is also a major general appointed by the Ministry of National Defense. We are still colleagues under the leadership of the same government."
Fang Ligong laughed loudly: "The Eighth Route Army is also under the leadership of the same government. Can Brother Yunfei and Li Yunlong be considered leaders?"
Chu Yunfei smiled bitterly: "Brother Ligong is overkill. Xie Baoqing will not be involved in party strife. We are facing a formidable enemy. We should first resolve external disturbances. As for internal disturbances, after all, they are matters between brothers of the same clan. We can all sit down. Let’s discuss it slowly, there is no need to fight to the death.”
Fang Ligong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't want to argue with Brother Yunfei anymore about this topic. This Xie Baoqing is not simple. Maybe he will become another Yan'an Mao. The country is weak, humiliated and bullied by foreign countries, and the internal strife continues. There is no day of peace, I really hope these days end as soon as possible."
Chu Yunfei pulled Fang Ligong: "Brother Ligong, you really don't plan to stay?"
Fang Ligong chuckled: "Fang has little talent and moral integrity, and can't see clearly the way of the world. He's going to Chongqing to find a casual job and just live a mediocre life."
Chu Yunfei sighed and stopped holding on. He opened his arms and hugged Fang Ligong tightly: "Brother Ligong, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you again."
Fang Ligong laughed, got into the car calmly, lowered the window and looked at Chu Yunfei outside the car and said, "I really hope the world you mentioned can come true. Brother Yunfei, see you again."
The two waved goodbye. Chu Yunfei watched Fang Ligong drive away with No. 100, shook his head slightly and sighed, then turned and walked back to Tuanzhi.
That world will definitely come true. Even if you and I can't see it, there will always be someone among our descendants who can.
If our generation does not work hard for it, perhaps our next generation and the next generation will not have the opportunity to see it.
With Chu Yunfei's surrender, Pingyuan County was naturally merged into the liberated area.
Today's liberated area covers Qizhou City and Pingyuan Yangqu County. It is 280 miles wide from east to west and 330 miles wide from north to south. It covers an area of 22,000 square kilometers and has a population of 590,000. It is already a Shanxi province. The princes all the way to the northwest.
In order to facilitate administrative jurisdiction, Pang Yuan merged seven or eight towns and more than 80 villages in the southeast of the liberated area, including Dagus Town, Zhangzhuang, and Madian Town, into Dagushan County. The county government established Dagus Town, which was rebuilt from the ruins.
Putting aside this for the moment, Xie Tian's troops captured Yangqu County without bloodshed, and a few days later he reorganized his army and sent his troops south.
The soldiers pointed out, destroying everything, and within three days the army successfully captured Caizhuang and Jinyang Lake, and had already reached the gates of Taiyuan City.
I really want to hit Taiyuan! ! !
This time, even Chu Yunfei screamed in excitement. After hearing the news, he rushed from Qizhou to the front line of Taiyuan in a hurry.
The job that Xie Tian arranged for Chu Yunfei was to train new recruits in Qizhou. The new recruits in Qizhou signed up enthusiastically. Training happened to be Chu Yunfei's strength. An army close to him.
As a combat commander, you must have a troop that grows up with you.
The 358th Regiment has been disbanded and reorganized by Xie Tian. This is beneficial to the People's Liberation Army as a whole, but it is somewhat unfair to Chu Yunfei.
So Xie Tian arranged such a job for Chu Yunfei, asking him to lead a direct force again.
But Chu Yunfei heard that Xie Tian had led the army to the outskirts of Taiyuan, and there was nowhere to sit still in Qizhou.
Chu Yunfei also participated in the Taiyuan Defense Battle that year. The battle lasted for five days. The 280,000 national troops, under the command of Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army and Taiyuan garrison commander, fought against the invading Japanese First Army and Chaha Army. You sent more than 60,000 men from the Corps, the 5th Division, the 20th Division, and the 109th Division to fight in a bloody battle, but ultimately ended in a disastrous defeat and were forced to abandon Taiyuan.
Chu Yunfei has always regarded this battle as a shame in his military career. Two hundred and eighty thousand men could not defeat 60,000 men, and it was still a defensive battle. It's just that Chu Yunfei was just an acting battalion commander of the 71st Division at that time, and he had just retreated from the Battle of Qikou. In a battle of this scale, he, a small acting battalion commander, had no say at all.
After the war, Chu Yunfei conducted countless war game deductions. He put himself in Fu Zuoyi's position, but the final result of the deduction was that he could lose better than Fu Zuoyi.
Post-event deductions and pre-battle command are completely different concepts, and Chu Yunfei knew this very well.
If he had been the person who commanded the Taiyuan defense battle back then, I am afraid he would have lost even more miserably than Fu Zuoyi.
At that time, the equipment of the Chinese army was very different from that of the Japanese army. The artillery regiment that Fu Zuoyi relied on the most was beaten to pieces by the Japanese air force before it had time to exert its power in the battle. The Japanese armored forces played a huge role in the siege battle. The powerful, infantry and tanks cooperate seamlessly in coordinated operations. The Chinese army is no match at all, and this battle cannot be fought.
The Taiyuan Defense Battle lasted for five full days, and the Eighth Route Army gained the most fruit apart from the Japanese army.
Taiyuan was Yan Xishan's base camp. Yan Xishan invested his money in building various arsenals in Taiyuan. Seeing that he could not defend Taiyuan, Fu Zuoyi simply donated a large amount of weapons and equipment accumulated in Taiyuan to the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army was even more ruthless. Not only did they take away the weapons and equipment hoarded in Taiyuan City, they also dismantled the machinery and equipment in the arsenal and moved them to the base area. Even the skilled workers were persuaded (fooled) away by the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army made leaps and bounds in weapons and equipment, and played a huge role in the future stalemate with the Japanese army.
But because of this matter, there was a disagreement between Yan Xishan and Fu Zuoyi, which eventually led to Fu Zuoyi's departure from the second theater.
Yan Xishan's stinginess was well-known throughout the National Government. He built all the railways into narrow-gauge railways. Fu Zuoyi gave his family fortune to the Eighth Route Army. Can he be happy with Fu Zuoyi?
That's a bit far-fetched. Now that Chu Yunfei has the opportunity to take back the shame of Taiyuan, can he not be excited?
Although Xie Baoqing only has 10,000 or 20,000 troops now, doesn't he always create miracles?
Chu Yunfei rushed back from Pingyuan County in a hurry and asked Xie Tian for a fight.
As a result, Chu Yunfei was stunned when he saw Xie Tian's appearance.
"Master, what are you... trying to do?"
When Xie Tian saw Chu Yunfei rushing into his room without even saying hello, he was startled and said hurriedly: "Close the door quickly."
