Northwest Shanxi.
Zhaojiayu.
New regiment headquarters.
Within half an hour, the headquarters sent two telegrams to the new regiment.
The first telegram was that the Japanese army was very likely to launch a large-scale attack on the Northwestern Eighth Route Army in the next few months, and the head of the headquarters reminded the new regiment to be ready for the battle.
Wang Dehou held the second telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong:
"Captain, the head of the headquarters has agreed to our request. The order from the head of the headquarters is that you can teach Yan Xishan a lesson, but you must pay attention to the standards."
"We cannot let others take advantage of us and say that we, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, are undermining the anti-Japanese national united front."
Li Yunlong nodded. The so-called attention to standards is nothing more than not firing the first shot and not breaking out into a large-scale armed conflict with the Jinsui Army.
In this regard, Li Yunlong is still very measured.
But if the Jinsui Army dares to fire the first shot, Li Yunlong will not be polite to the opponent.
With strong soldiers and horses under his command, good guys in hand, and the support of Boss Chen behind him, Captain Li felt confident.
If we, Lao Li, think of you, Yan Laoxi, as the commander of the war zone, you are the commander of the war zone. If we don’t take you as the commander of the war zone, what the heck are you?
"Old Li, how are you going to teach Yan Laoxi a lesson?"
Zhao Gang asked, Zhao Gang usually called Yan Xishan Chief Yan, but after Yan Xishan did this, he also directly called him Yan Laoxi.
"Hmm."
Li Yunlong hummed: "In one sentence, Yan Laoxi's arsenal employees and American equipment for 5,000 people, labor and capital are all required."
Although the American equipment of these 5,000 men is the backup weapon of the new regiment.
But it was not brought by strong winds, it was all fought by the soldiers with swords and guns. To obtain this batch of American equipment for 5,000 people, the new regiment's casualties would be at least over a hundred.
Yan Laoxi had already cheated, how could Li Yunlong still hand over weapons and ammunition to him?
Xing Zhiguo nodded and said: "Then we have to plan carefully to avoid being accused of undermining the anti-Japanese united front..."
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou gathered around. Everyone talked to each other and gradually perfected the plan.
…
Lin County.
The headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
358th Regiment Headquarters.
"Team, good news..."
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong held the telegram in his hand and walked quickly into the headquarters of the 358th Regiment with a smile on his face.
"Oh?" Chu Yunfei's expression changed, "Brother Ligong, what's the good news?"
Fang Ligong looked at the staff officers who were busy in the regiment war room and said, "You guys go out first. I have important things to report to the regiment commander."
"yes!"
Several combat staff members straightened up and walked out quickly.
However, Sun Ming did not move. Sun Ming was Chu Yunfei's adjutant and the guard company commander of the 358th Regiment. He personally protected Chu Yunfei's safety and was absolutely reliable.
After several operational staff officers left, Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei: "Regiment leader, just now the commander of the theater sent a secret message to our 358th regiment, asking us to send a unit to Xingxian County at noon in three days. Wanniu Mountain, go to receive American equipment from the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
"What did you say? American equipment?"
Chu Yunfei's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, confirming again and asking:
"Brother Ligong, are you sure it's American equipment?"
Fang Ligong nodded: "Sure, and it's American equipment for 5,000 people. Two bases of ammunition are enough for our 358th Regiment to re-equip. In addition, the Eighth Route Army will reimburse our 358th Regiment for the ammunition it consumed in the battle with the Japanese army." ammunition."
"In addition, the Eighth Route Army headquarters will also give our regiment 12 75mm American mountain guns with two basic shells."
After receiving Fang Ligong's confirmation, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel slightly happy.
This is the American equipment that I have coveted for a long time.
Twelve 75mm American mountain cannons can be organized into a mountain artillery battalion, which is much more powerful than the Jin-made 75mm mountain cannons currently equipped by the 358th Regiment.
But soon, Chu Yunfei looked confused again: "The Eighth Route Army is so good, why would it give our 358th Regiment American equipment? Could it be that Commander Yan has surrendered to the Communist Party?"
Between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, there has always been a conflict between the well and the river.
Even if the Jinsui Army wants to join forces with the Eighth Route Army, it must have an order from the Second Theater Command, otherwise it will be severely punished.
However, Chief Yan is a businessman. Could he pretend to be a communist and earn some equipment and supplies from the Eighth Route Army?
The relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army has always been close to each other, but the Eighth Route Army gave the Jinsui Army American equipment? Chu Yunfei could not think of any other reason except that Chief Yan defected to the Communist Party.
After all, there is not much American equipment in the Eighth Route Army. Even the main force of the 129th Division is not equipped with American equipment and uses Japanese equipment.
However, Chu Yunfei heard that the main force of the 129th Division is now very luxuriously equipped and equipped with better weapons than the elite troops of the Japanese army.
The Jinsui Army is even less comparable.
Although the matter of Chief Yan defecting to the Communist Party is ridiculous no matter how you look at it.
If Chief Yan had voted for the Communist Party, then as a student of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, should he follow Chief Yan and vote for the Communist Party, or should he go to Chongqing to find Chairman Chiang Kai-shek?
Going to Chongqing to find Chairman Chiang, Chu Yunfei was reluctant to part with this batch of American equipment.
What if I take the American equipment with me too?
Chu Yunfei believed in the Three People's Principles, believed that the Three People's Principles could save China, and had no doubts about the Chiang government of the Republic of China.
Therefore, without a fundamental change in his thinking and believing in communism, Chu Yunfei would not have surrendered to the Communist Party.
"Teacher, be careful what you say." Fang Ligong looked slightly startled. He looked around and found that there were only Chu Yunfei, himself and Sun Ming in the group, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Ligong said secretly: Chief Yan, did you join the Communist Party? Tuanzuo, you really dare to say anything...
While he was thinking about it, Fang Ligong added: "This time, the Chief's Department used more than 2,500 skilled arsenal workers to exchange 5,000 American-style equipment and an American-style mountain artillery battalion from the Eighth Route Army, and there was also the opportunity for reimbursement. Equipped with our 358th Regiment, the more than 2,500 skilled workers will arrive in Linxian County tomorrow, and our 358th Regiment will send troops to escort them to Wuniu Mountain to exchange with the Eighth Route Army."
"So that's it." A look of surprise appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.
At the same time, I felt a little relieved. Fortunately, it was not Chief Yan who surrendered to the Communist Party.
Then, a smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face, feeling happy.
From now on, our 358th Regiment will also have American equipment, plus an American mountain artillery battalion, and will also have weapons and ammunition reimbursed.
After being equipped with American equipment, Chu Yunfei was ready to find an opportunity to have a good fight with the Japanese.
Chu Yunfei is a bit vain, and he likes to do earth-shattering things. He does not do meritorious deeds to gain fame, but just wants to prove that his ability is no worse than others, especially Li Yunlong.
At this time, Captain Chu was full of energy.
Chu Yunfei is a beauty, and he especially likes American equipment and American military uniforms. The 358th Regiment is about to be equipped with American equipment. At this time, Chu Yunfei feels that the air is sweet.
Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong: "Give me the order to have the first battalion assemble and stand by."
Chu Yunfei planned to personally hand over this matter to First Battalion Commander Qian Bojun and lead the First Battalion to handle this matter. The First Battalion of the 358th Regiment had more than 1,000 people and was fairly well-equipped.
Moreover, Qian Bojun had been with Chu Yunfei for many years, and Chu Yunfei trusted Qian Bojun very much.
"Yes, Danzao!"
Fang Ligong turned and left.
Fang Ligong understood very well. The regiment leader just asked the first battalion to assemble and stand by, so Fang Ligong would not reveal to Qian Bojun about exchanging arsenal technicians for American equipment.
Chu Yunfei: "Sun Ming, go prepare some side dishes, I want to have a few drinks!"
Looking at his captain, Sun Ming looked slightly happy, then he said yes, turned around and walked out.
…
Three days later.
Woniu Mountain is about 10 kilometers east of Xingxian County.
Qian Bojun led more than 1,000 soldiers from the first battalion of the 358th Regiment, a transport team of more than 350 mule carts, and more than 2,500 skilled workers, and was about to arrive at Woniu Mountain.
A 358th Regiment reconnaissance cavalryman rode up to Qian Bojun in front, gave a military salute and said: "Report to the battalion commander, Woniu Mountain is ahead, and the Eighth Route Army has arrived!"
Qian Bojun, who was riding on horseback, looked slightly moved: "Eighth Route is so fast, have you noticed anything unusual?"
Although he came to trade under Chu Yunfei's order, Qian Bojun was still very cautious, fearing that he would be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army.
The current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi is such that even the Japanese army is afraid of it, let alone the Shanxi-Sui Army.
"No abnormality was found." The scout cavalry replied.
Qian Bojun then ordered: "Continue to alert both wings. If any abnormality is found, fire a warning shot immediately."
"Yes, battalion commander!"
The scout cavalry turned and rode away quickly.
Qian Bojun's alert eyes scanned the surrounding wilderness, and he waved his hand: "Keep going!"
About half an hour later, Qian Bojun finally led the team to the transaction location.
Looking at all the trucks parked on the road, there were at least more than 100 of them, Qian Bojun's lips twitched, this new group is really damn rich.
No wonder the new group came so quickly.
The truck bed was covered with a green tarpaulin. Qian Bojun guessed that there should be American equipment and ammunition under the military green tarpaulin on the truck bed.
Qian Bojun's lips curled up slightly, his troops were about to use American equipment.
There were several jeeps parked in front of the convoy, and Qian Bojun rode forward with a few guard cavalry.
Seeing several Eighth Route Army officers jumping out of the jeep, Qian Bojun got off his horse.
The Eighth Route Army officer in the lead was similar in stature to him, but his eyes were extremely sharp. When they met, the two sides gave each other a military salute.
Qian Bojun said: "I am Qian Bojun, commander of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment. I came here to trade on the order of my regiment commander. Are you from the new 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?"
"I am Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment." Zhang Dabiao's eyes were sharp and he asked straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense, "Have you brought anyone here?"
"Everyone has been brought." Qian Bojun asked, "Have you brought the goods?"
"I've brought all the goods," Zhang Dabiao replied, "They're all in the car."
Qian Bojun looked at the convoy of the Eighth Route New Regiment again, and then nodded: "Okay, let's hand over the people and deliver the goods."
