Lin County.
Headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
"Report to the group."
"Just now, Battalion Commander Qian sent the reconnaissance cavalry from the 1st Battalion back to report that the 1st Battalion's transaction with the Eighth Route Army in Woniu Mountain went smoothly. The 1st Battalion and the transportation team have received American equipment and are on their way back to the regiment headquarters."
Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, reported to Chu Yunfei.
After Qian Bojun received American equipment and ammunition, the first battalion of the 358th Regiment was not equipped with a radio station.
Therefore, Qian Bojun first sent two scout cavalry back to the regiment headquarters to report the good news to Chu Yunfei.
"very good!"
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he tightened the white gloves on his hands, with a look of pride on his expression.
"Congratulations to everyone, congratulations to everyone."
Upon seeing this, Fang Ligong said: "When our regiment is fully equipped with American equipment, our 358 regiment will be the first-class main force of the Jinsui Army."
Although the 358th Regiment is only one regiment in size, its strength is not much worse than other divisions under the Jinsui Army.
Coupled with Chu Yunfei's outstanding tactical command ability, strategic vision, and ability to lead troops, the actual combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment is comparable to other divisions of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
After being equipped with American equipment, the 358th Regiment will be unparalleled in combat effectiveness and become the main force of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
Giving this batch of American equipment to the 358th Regiment was not because Yan Xishan thought highly of Chu Yunfei, but mainly because the Eighth Route Army only gave American equipment to one regiment.
Among the regiment-level units of the Jinsui Army, the 358th Regiment had the largest number of troops, so Yan Xishan had to give this batch of American equipment to the 358th Regiment.
After all, although Chu Yunfei is a fellow villager of Yan Xishan, Chu Yunfei also has another identity as a student of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, who graduated from the fifth phase of Huangpu.
Chu Yunfei has been coveting the American equipment of the new group for a long time. Now that he is finally equipped with American equipment, he looks very high-spirited.
At this time, the Second Theater Command had already received news that American equipment had been snatched back by the Eighth Route Army, and that the first battalion and the transportation team had been disarmed.
However, Yan Xishan was negotiating with the Eighth Route Army headquarters, so he did not send a telegram to the 358th Regiment.
Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were immersed in the joy of obtaining American equipment.
As a graduate of the fifth phase of Huangpu, Chu Yunfei has been on the battlefield from a trainee platoon leader to the commander of the 358th Regiment.
He naturally knows very well that the strength of an army is mainly reflected in its firepower.
After seeing the powerful firepower of American equipment in the New Regiment, Chu Yunfei became even more coveted for American equipment.
A battalion of American mountain artillery and 5,000 infantrymen with American equipment is very comfortable to think about.
Among the senior officials of the national army, some officers were also very confident in German equipment, so they hired some German weapon masters, commonly known as Dechui.
However, the joy of Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong did not last long.
Calculating the time, the first battalion and the transportation team were about to return to the regiment headquarters. Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong went outside the city to greet them in person.
However, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, Sun Ming and the Jinsui Army Guard Company were all dumbfounded when they saw the first battalion and the transport team returning empty-handed.
"Duanzao!"
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui, with expressions on their faces as if they had been greatly wronged, came to Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong and gave them a military salute.
"First battalion commander!"
Chu Yunfei's face quickly darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where are the American equipment and ammunition of our 358th Regiment?"
"Report to the regiment." Seeing Chu Yunfei's anger, Qian Bojun said in panic: "All the American equipment and ammunition were taken back by Li Yunlong's order. The Eighth Route Army not only took back all the American equipment and ammunition, but also took away the troops of our 358th Regiment. The equipment and transportation team were also robbed.”
"What did you say!?"
Chu Yunfei's pupils suddenly shrank:
"American equipment and ammunition were taken back by the Eighth Route Army? Your first battalion and transportation team were also disarmed by the Eighth Route Army?"
"Yes." Qian Bojun replied with a sad and indignant expression, "A group seat!"
Fang Ligong and Sun Ming on the side couldn't help but look at each other. How could this be the case?
The Eighth Route Army was not kind. In exchange, they not only took back American equipment and ammunition, but also disarmed the troops of the 358th Regiment.
Li Yunlong is so bold?
"Regiment seat." Fang Ligong said in a deep voice, "Li Yunlong's move is tantamount to destroying the anti-Japanese national united front and is simply lawless. I suggest that the matter be reported to the World War II District Chief's Department immediately and request Chief Yan to come forward to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army Headquarters. We must Let the Eighth Route Army Headquarters severely punish Li Yunlong."
After hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei took a long time to digest the news and asked in a deep voice: "Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui, what is going on? What happened during the transaction? Tell me one by one." Come out and don’t hide anything.”
Chu Yunfei had a certain understanding of Li Yunlong and a certain understanding of Xinyi Tuan.
This transaction was led by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the World War II District Chief's Department. Li Yunlong should not dare to mess around, otherwise the Eighth Route Army Headquarters would be blamed, which would be enough for Li Yunlong to drink.
As for the New Regiment, which is so wealthy and has American equipment for 5,000 people, it should be nothing to Li Yunlong.
Reimbursement of ammunition for the 358th Regiment is nothing to Li Yunlong.
After all, these arsenal technical employees have passed, and the new regiment's arsenal has been established and will be put into production soon. The new regiment can produce the reimbursement for the 358th Regiment's ammunition by itself.
Chu Yunfei guessed that there must be something hidden in this.
At the moment, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui talked to each other, telling each other the whole incident from the beginning of the transaction to the disarming.
"What did you say?"
"Mr. Yan placed Japanese spies and military control agents among the skilled workers at the Eighth Route Army arsenal?"
Chu Yunfei's face was filled with disbelief. It was hard to believe that Chief Yan would do such a thing that would outrage both humans and gods.
However, Chu Yunfei thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed something that Chief Yan could do. Chief Yan's ability to rise from a businessman to the king of Shanxi did not rely on benevolence, justice and morality.
But this time, Chief Yan clearly kicked the iron plate.
"Team, something is wrong. The Eighth Route Army should have already obtained the list of military commanders and Japanese spies. They deliberately waited for the transaction to be completed, arrested the military commanders and Japanese spies, obtained evidence that Chief Yan planted the enemy, and then set up an ambush to rob them. We got back the American equipment, hunted rabbits, and handed over the weapons of the First Battalion and the transport team. As for the injuries to the Eighth Route Army soldiers, it should be a fiction." Fang Ligong rolled his eyes and quickly deduced Li Yunlong's plan. out.
Chu Yunfei nodded. After Fang Ligong's speculation, the whole idea suddenly became clear.
He looked at Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui and said, "Take the brothers down to rest first."
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui cannot be blamed for this. The Eighth Route Army had been prepared for it. If the first battalion and the transportation team were not disarmed, they would only be wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.
"yes!"
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui straightened up, turned around and walked towards the soldiers of the first battalion.
"Group seats..."
Fang Ligong shouted, but it stopped abruptly.
Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong, and he knew what Fang Ligong wanted to say.
Fang Ligong wanted to suggest leading troops to snatch back the American equipment, the equipment of the first battalion, and the transportation team.
But Fang Ligong suddenly thought, with the current strength of the Eighth Route New Regiment, should the 358th Regiment deliver food?
Chu Yunfei said: "Chief of Staff Fang, please immediately report this matter to the war zone commander's office and ask the commander's office to negotiate with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army to ensure that the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army returns the equipment and transportation team of one of our battalions."
"Yes, Tuanzao."
Fang Ligong sighed slightly, turned around and walked towards the regiment headquarters.
Seeing Fang Ligong's back disappearing from the city gate, Chu Yunfei twitched the corner of his mouth.
Chief Yan, Chief Yan, it’s not good for you to offend anyone, so why do you offend Li Yunlong?
Li Yunlong is someone who never talks about the rules of the game.
If Li Yunlong is offended and the other party leads a new regiment to attack Luliang Mountain, Commander Yan, can your dozen or so divisions be able to withstand the new regiment's attack?
If you don't do good business, you have to do some small tricks behind the scenes.
Well, now, the American equipment and ammunition of my 358th Regiment were snatched back by the Eighth Route Army before they were warmed up.
Feeling comfortable?
Although he didn't say it, Chu Yunfei was already dissatisfied with Commander Yan in his heart.
…
Northwest Shanxi.
Zhaojiayu Village.
Village entrance.
Six jeeps and more than 20 Jiefang trucks were parked on the road in front of the village.
After Zhaojiayu was bombed by Japanese planes, it has been rebuilt, and the road can lead directly to the village's grain drying field.
But there were too many cars for the grain drying field to stop, so the convoy stopped at the entrance of the village.
After reconstruction, the air-raid shelters in Zhaojiayu became more accessible and reinforced with steel bars and cement, so that the Japanese aerial bombs could not collapse them.
Zhang Dabiao, Duan Peng, Ma Renxing and Cao Jiang all jumped out of the jeep and walked towards the regiment headquarters in the village, talking and laughing.
"salute!"
At the entrance of the regiment department, two guards with steel helmets on their heads, M3 submachine guns hanging on their chests, and straight bodies gave a military salute.
"Report!"
Arriving at the entrance of the Youth League branch, Zhang Dabiao shouted in with his loud voice.
"Come in!"
Li Yunlong's loud voice came from the regiment headquarters, no less than Zhang Dabiao's voice.
Zhang Dabiao led everyone into the regiment headquarters. As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, he saw Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo all there.
"Come back?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and asked, "How was the harvest?"
Although Zhang Dabiao has sent back the telegram, the content of the telegram is not detailed. What Li Yunlong is concerned about is how much benefit he will get?
Of course, this is not because Li Yunlong is greedy.
If Yan Xishan sincerely wanted to do business with the New Group, then Li Yunlong would have given them this batch of American equipment and ammunition.
When the arsenal is established and put into production, it will not be a problem to reimburse Chu Yunfei's troops for the American equipment and ammunition consumed in the battle.
But Li Yunlong was not happy if Yan Xishan was making small moves behind his back.
If Li Yunlong swallows his anger, then he is not Li Yunlong.
In the original drama, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment was in high conflict with Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment. Li Yunlong had remembered this grudge for several years. The two met on the Huaihai battlefield. Li Yunlong didn't even want the fat on his lips. He only wanted to Kill Chu Yunfei. What's more, the current Li Yunlong can be bullied by anyone?
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the synthetic battalion successfully completed its mission and seized weapons and equipment of more than 1,000 people from the 358th regiment, as well as some ammunition."
Zhang Dabiao raised the corner of his mouth and responded with sharp eyes: "There are also more than 350 mule carts."
"Haha..." Li Yunlong looked extremely satisfied, "Well done!"
