Chapter 10 Chu Yunfei's Thoughts
Half an hour later, heading towards Xiaowangzhuang.
Li Yunlong and Yang Linggang led their troops to march here when they suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds from the front.
A group of soldiers in gray-blue uniforms were galloping towards them on horseback.
The Eighth Route Army soldier who was leading the way immediately ran to Li Yunlong and reported: "Commander, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is here!"
This was already the defense zone of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Li Yunlong was not sure about the other party's intentions. In order to avoid unnecessary friction and conflict, he raised his voice and ordered: "Everyone, stay where you are. Do not act without my order!"
Soon, this team of Shanxi Suiyuan officers and soldiers rode their horses and galloped to Li Yunlong and his men.
The person who came was none other than Chu Yunfei and his 1st Platoon of Guards.
“Drive, drive, drive!…”
Chu Yunfei pulled the reins fiercely and then jumped off the horse's back nimbly.
The accompanying subordinates also dismounted. Adjutant Sun Ming took over the reins from Chu Yunfei, while the soldiers of the guard platoon stood guard on the side.
Chu Yunfei straightened his military uniform and led his subordinates to stride towards the army not far ahead .
Immediately, Yang Lin, Li Yunlong and others also came forward.
During the Battle of Xinkou, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei met at the Yellow River ferry. Because the soldiers of the 385th Regiment did not let Li Yunlong lead his troops across the river, the two troops almost broke out.
Therefore, the two recognized each other as soon as they met.
Chu Yunfei saluted politely and said with a smile: "Brother Yunlong, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still as brave as you were back then!
The Sakata Brigade is the ace elite force in the hands of Shinozuka Yoshio. Your army not only destroyed the Sakata Brigade's headquarters, but also broke out of the enemy's heavy encirclement. It's really not easy!"
Li Yunlong returned the salute and flattered him in a hypocritical manner, "Compared to you, Brother Yunfei, I am far inferior. You are a favorite of Commander Yan, you have all the equipment and military pay you need, and you are also equipped with an artillery battalion.
Although you are only a regiment commander, you are treated like a division commander.
I am so envious.”
Li Yunlong praised Chu Yunfei with his mouth, but in reality he was despising and disgusting Chu Yunfei, or he was speaking up for the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army was nominally the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China. In reality, apart from the unit number, it did not receive any military pay from Chiang Kai-shek, let alone any weapons and equipment support.
To use Li Yunlong's words, he was raised by a stepmother.
Of course, Chiang Kai-shek had always been wary of the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention providing them with pay and weapons and equipment, it was already very good that he did not attack them from behind.
Chu Yunfei naturally understood the hidden meaning of Li Yunlong's words, but he was a very upright person and didn't want to beat around the bush.
He noticed Yang Lin, who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army, and asked curiously, "Brother Yunlong, who is this little brother?"
"This little brother is Yang Lin, he is the captain of the uprising army." Li Yunlong briefly introduced Yang Lin's identity, and then said: "Brother Yunfei, you don't know that it was not me who took down the Bantian Brigade Command, but Brother Yang Lin.
He not only destroyed the Sakata Regiment's headquarters, but also captured the old Japanese soldier Sakata Nobutsu.
If he hadn't helped me, I would have died in Cangyun Ridge."
Although Li Yunlong is thick-skinned, he disdains to compete for other people's credit. What's more, Yang Lin is the savior of the entire New 1st Regiment.
Chu Yunfei knew that it was not Li Yunlong who took down the Sakata regiment headquarters, but a group of rebellious Imperial Army. However, he never expected that the other side not only took down Sakata's regiment headquarters, but also captured Sakata Nobutsu.
You know, capturing an enemy commander is much more difficult than killing him.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the National Army had killed enemy officers at the level of regiment commander, but this was the first time he was captured.
In addition, Chu Yunfei also heard an important message from Li Yunlong's words, that is, Yang Lin's betrayal did not seem to be due to the instigation of the Eighth Route Army, but a sudden impulse.
At that moment, he became more and more curious about Yang Lin, and also had the idea of recruiting him into his team. He couldn't help but look Yang Lin up and down: "This little brother is willing to bear the infamy and endure the humiliation to infiltrate the Japanese army as an undercover. This kind of righteousness really makes Chu admire him very much!"
When Chu Yunfei was looking at Yang Lin, Yang Lin was also looking at Chu Yunfei whom he met for the first time.
Chu Yunfei is tall and handsome. He wears a woolen coat and military boots. He exudes a military heroic spirit and a bit of arrogance from the inside out.
Look at Li Yunlong next to him. He is wearing a dirty gray military uniform. His appearance can no longer be described as ordinary, and his head is like a chamber pot.
"Back then, Old Li was also a famous handsome young man in the surrounding area."
I really don’t know how thick-skinned Li Yunlong is to say such shameless words.
Pulling back his thoughts, listening to Chu Yunfei's words of praise, Yang Lin said a little embarrassedly: "Captain Chu, you are too kind. I am not actually a member of the Imperial Army, let alone endure humiliation.
I am just a bandit from Hongyun Ridge. I wear this dog skin just to make it easier for me to act.
Of course, the Japanese occupied our land and killed our comrades, but every passionate Chinese man has the duty to kill the enemy and serve our country!
So, I am serious about fighting the devils! "
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei did not look down on Yang Lin because of his identity as a bandit. Instead, he admired him even more and wanted to win him over even stronger.
After a brief exchange of words, Chu Yunfei changed the subject and invited sincerely, "Brother Yunlong, Brother Yang Lin, this is not the place to talk. How about going to my regiment headquarters and having a cup of tea?"
"Brother Yunlong is so enthusiastic, so we'd better obey your orders respectfully!"
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
The 358th Regiment is Yan Laoxi's direct troops, and the treatment is excellent. Chu Yunfei will definitely give them a warm reception when they go there.
Li Yunlong naturally would not miss this opportunity to attack the local tyrant.
Also, he clearly saw that Chu Yunfei also wanted to win over Yang Lin, and he also had this intention, so how could he let the other party interfere and intercept him?
Yang Lin was thinking about getting something from Chu Yunfei.
…
Taiyuan, Japanese 1st Army Headquarters.
Commander Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka was reviewing documents in his office when a communications staff officer suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Report to the Commander, the battle report of the 4th Brigade on the front line!"
Shinozuka Yoshio raised his head and stared at the person who came and said, "Read it!"
"Hi!"
The Japanese communications staff member suddenly paused, picked up the translated message in his hand and read: "The 3rd Regiment was attacked by the Eighth Route Army in the Cangyunling area, and the 3rd Regiment suffered heavy losses!"
"Also, a part of the Imperial Army rebelled and launched a surprise attack on the 3rd Regiment headquarters.
The commander of the regiment, Nobutsu Sakata, was captured, and the rest of the officers in the command center were all killed..."
The commander of the 4th Brigade certainly knew that Yang Lin and his men were not from the Imperial Army. In order to appear less incompetent, he naturally needed to find a reason.
