Volume 1 Chapter 009 Military Pay
"Independent regiment? The independent regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Communist Army. The commander seems to be Kong Jie!" As the chief of staff, Fang Ligong was familiar with the information from all parties.
As soon as Chu Yunfei said that, he immediately remembered the information about the Independent Regiment.
"It's this independent regiment!" Chu Yunfei explained, "The independent regiment is on the flank of our army. We need to know its movements at any time! Moreover, the Japanese army is now doing its best to encircle and suppress the Communist army. Maybe we will have a chance to win a victory like the one in Cangyunling! We must pay close attention!"
"Yes! Commander!" Fang Ligong saluted without any doubt.
After Chu Yunfei gave the order, he returned to his study and read a military book.
Why!
In this war-torn era, especially when I am a regiment commander.
But it concerns the life and death of more than 5,000 people.
heavy responsibility.
In order to survive, don't let yourself down, nor let your subordinates down.
Chu Yunfei had no choice but to quickly make up for his basic military knowledge.
Military books look simple, and I understand every word and sentence.
But whether it can be used flexibly on the battlefield and not just on paper is another matter.
Fortunately, I have a staff department that can help me share my worries.
Chu Yunfei was reading a book in the study.
I saw it written in a military book: Quality is more important than quantity!
He thought of his 358th Regiment.
The 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment with 5,000 people.
There are enough soldiers.
But it is definitely not an elite army.
He was considered a capable fighter in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
No major issues, but no highlights either.
Most of the soldiers under his command joined the army just to have enough food to eat.
Do whatever your boss tells you to do.
Just train.
But it's just a coping method.
This is an army without soul and ideas.
If you encounter setbacks, you will be defeated.
There is no indomitable tenacity!
It’s okay to bully the puppet army, but if you encounter the Japanese army, it will be very dangerous!
How to train an elite army?
Chu Yunfei thought for a long time and finally came up with a plan.
However, to realize this plan, good timing is needed.
After reading for a long time, it was almost dinner. Chu Yunfei walked out of the study and faced his adjutant Sun Ming.
"Take the guard company with you, let's go! Let's go check out the first battalion!"
The 5,000 men of the 358th Regiment were stationed together, making them a large target.
Once discovered by Japanese fighter planes, they will be bombed.
It will cause heavy losses.
As a last resort, the 358th Regiment was divided into four battalions scattered in the surrounding villages, each protecting the regiment headquarters.
Chu Yunfei rode his horse to the first camp.
I see the group leader is coming!
The soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment were all very puzzled.
Why is the commander here?
I didn’t hear the battalion commander say that the regiment commander was coming!
What was the reason for his sudden visit?
Many people are nervously holding on to their stable jobs, not knowing whether to stand or sit.
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, I just came to visit you. Sit down!"
After hearing the commander's order, the standing soldiers sat down.
But even so, the meal was completely silent and very restrained.
Chu Yunfei looked at the lunch on their dining table.
Frowning.
The Jinsui Army had standards for supply.
Each person needs 1.7 jin of grain, 0.5 qian of oil, 0.3 qian of salt, 0.5 qian of meat, and 1 jin of vegetables per day.
But looking at the food his soldiers were eating.
1.7 kilograms of food per day should be about the same.
But what is this food?
A bowl of rice porridge and two steamed buns made of whole grains is all I need.
As for meat, only the company commander and platoon leader have it.
The other soldiers were simply given a plate of cabbage and , without even a hint of fishy smell.
No meat, no oil.
Where do the soldiers have the energy to train!
How can I have the strength to kill the enemy!
Chu Yunfei walked out of the cafeteria with his hands behind his back and shouted to a company commander of the first battalion: "Where is Qian Bojun!"
The company commander saw Chu Yunfei's angry look and quickly replied in fear, "Report to the commander, the battalion commander is in his yard!"
"take me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers led the way. Chu Yunfei slowed down his pace and whispered to his adjutant Sun Ming, "Have the guard company ready. Follow my orders!"
Guard company commander Sun Ming was stunned when he heard this and saw the stern look in the regiment commander's eyes.
He nodded hastily. "I understand!"
The battalion commander of the first battalion, Qian Bojun, and Zhang Fugui were in the room, drinking wine and eating meat.
The soldier in charge of guarding the door came over quickly. "Report! Sir, the commander is here!"
"What? The regiment commander is here!" Qian Bojun was stunned for a moment. He looked at the deputy battalion commander and asked, "What is the regiment commander doing here? Why did he come here suddenly without any notice? Are we going to fight a war soon?"
"I don't know either!" Zhang Fugui stood up and said, "Sir, let's go and take a look!"
"Let's go! Let's take a look!" Qian Bojun put on his hat and walked out of the room with Zhang Fugui.
Seeing Chu Yunfei and his guard company coming, Qian Bojun saluted and said, "Report. I didn't know that the commander-in-chief was coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me in person!"
Chu Yunfei looked the other person up and down, then walked into the yard with a serious face.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui looked at each other, both with confusion on their faces.
Why is the commander so angry?
Did I make a mistake?
No!
Isn't everything the same as before?
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui hurriedly followed with puzzled looks on their faces.
When I walked into the room, I saw four dishes and a soup on the table.
snort!
He has the demeanor of an official.
What a great set of four dishes and one soup!
Chu Yunfei angrily threw the whip on the table.
"Qian Bojun! Our army has a clear order. Soldiers' meals must contain meat and vegetables! I've seen that, except for officers, ordinary soldiers don't even have diced meat. Where did you use the funds allocated to you? Tell me!"
Qian Bojun heard Chu Yunfei's reproach.
He was stunned.
Traveling thousands of miles to become an official just for money!
This is the amount of funding that the higher-ups give us, if we don't deduct the military pay.
What can you do with that little allowance?
Isn't that what everyone does?
Why are you blaming me for this topic today?
Qian Bojun complained, "Commander, please listen to my explanation!"
Chu Yunfei shouted angrily: "Did you embezzle the money privately? I have repeatedly issued orders not to embezzle soldiers' wages. You actually dared to do it in defiance of the law. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you? Sun Ming! Capture Qian Bojun!"
Originally, Chu Yunfei had a thorn in his heart about Qian Bojun, who wanted to betray him and become a traitor in the future.
The danger must be nipped in the bud!
Now Chu Yunfei is thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to defeat the opponent.
When Qian Bojun heard that the regiment commander wanted to arrest him, he became angry.
"Let's see who dares!" Qian Bojun shouted and put his hand on the holster at his waist.
"Commander, I have worked hard for you for so long. I won't mention the blood and injuries. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard! I have worked hard for you for so many years, and today you actually took me for such a small matter. Since you are unkind, don't be unjust to me! Come here!"
Following Qian Bojun's shout, his guard platoon rushed in.
Qian Bojun called his guards to come in.
Chu Yunfei directly ordered: "Fire!"
