Volume 1 Chapter 010 Strike first and gain the upper hand!
This is not 1942, when the Japanese army was very strong.
In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in 1941, the National Army was defeated and the Japanese Army occupied important locations in Shanxi. The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had to retreat to western Shanxi.
In 1942, the Japanese army adopted new tactics such as "cage policy", "iron wall encirclement", "water washing tactics", "nibbling policy" in North China, and implemented the brutal and vicious "three alls" policy. The War of Resistance in North China entered an unprecedented difficult and arduous stage.
More importantly, the Japanese army, taking advantage of the disastrous defeat of the US Navy at Pearl Harbor, almost occupied South Asia and the Eastern Pacific, with a tendency to swallow up the whole of Asia in one gulp.
Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui and others believed that the Japanese army was invincible and that it was impossible for China to win.
So he decided to defect to Japan and become a traitor.
But it was only 1940, and the situation had not yet deteriorated to the point where there was no hope.
Qian Bojun had not yet thought about surrendering to Japan.
Not many of his men were willing to become traitors.
Qian Bojun didn't dare to kill his superior Chu Yunfei.
Otherwise, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would try their best to hunt him down.
The Central Army and the Eighth Route Army did not dare to employ an officer like him who dared to murder his superiors.
At that time, Qian Bojun would have no choice but to surrender to the Japanese and become a traitor.
I'm afraid I'll just have to become a bandit!
This is not what Qian Bojun wants now.
He called his soldiers in just to intimidate Chu Yunfei.
Just let him calm down.
Who among the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army is not greedy?
Chu Yunfei had never asked about it before.
I think Chu Yunfei was just angry for a moment. Once he calms down, he will not kill his confidant.
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for him in the future!
Qian Bojun didn't dare and didn't want to kill Chu Yunfei.
But Chu Yunfei dared to do so and also wanted to kill Qian Bojun.
Sun Ming, the captain of the guard company who had been warned in advance, opened fire without saying a word when he heard the order.
As Sun Ming's gunshot rang out, the five soldiers from the guard company who followed him in also opened fire immediately.
Bang, bang, bang…
There was a loud gunshot.
Before Qian Bojun's guard platoon came in, he was hit by dozens of bullets, and his whole body was riddled with bullets, like a hornet's nest.
Qian Bojun lay on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face. Until his death he could not understand why Chu Yunfei wanted to kill him.
His eyes were wide open, he died with his eyes open!
Also falling to the ground with Qian Bojun was the battalion deputy Zhang Fugui.
He had been shot five or six times and blood was gushing out of him.
Zhang Fugui stretched out his hand to ask for help.
However, his injuries were too severe, blood was oozing from his mouth, and he couldn't speak at all.
He choked a few times and then died.
Seeing Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui dead, Chu Yunfei sneered.
snort!
I have watched so many movies and TV shows.
Know that the person who talks the most nonsense is most likely to die.
Just get started!
That's what smart people do.
Chu Yunfei looked at Qian Bojun's guard platoon who had just rushed in at this time and shouted loudly: "Do you want to rebel?"
Battalion Commander Qian Bojun and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Fugui were seen lying on the ground, without a breath.
What’s more important is that the guard company on the enemy side are pointing submachine guns at them.
Wang Gui, the squad leader of the guard squad of the first battalion, saluted and said, "Commander! I dare not!"
Not to mention that the battalion commander Qian Bojun was dead. Even if he wasn't dead.
Even these guys didn't dare to act rashly.
Chu Yunfei knew that once Qian Bojun was dead, the soldiers in the first battalion would not dare to rebel, so he dared to kill Qian Bojun on the spot.
"Get out! Call the captains of the first, second and third companies in!"
"Yes! Commander!" Wang Gui hurriedly took the guards out and asked someone to invite the company commander.
Gunshots rang out everywhere, and the company commanders of the first, second and third companies quickly gathered their men and rushed over.
After hearing the regiment commander's order, they came to the room of battalion commander Qian Bojun with full of questions.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander lying in a pool of blood!
The company commanders were all shocked.
this……
What exactly happened?
Just when they were confused and worried, Chu Yunfei said, "Qian Bojun was corrupt and perverted the law. After the truth was exposed, he even attempted to rebel. I have already shot him on the spot! What about you? Do you want to follow this dead man to rebel against me, or do you want to continue to follow me and do something?"
The company commanders are not stupid.
Although the battalion commander was not harsh to them , he was also considered his trusted subordinate.
But now everyone is dead.
I've never pledged allegiance to anything!
Besides, Chu Yunfei treats his subordinates well. If I don't follow him, can I find a better employer?
The company commanders immediately stood at attention and said, "We are all soldiers of the 358th Regiment. We will obey the orders of the regiment commander!"
"Very good!" Chu Yunfei was very satisfied with their understanding of the situation. "Take these people out and bury them!"
"Yes. Commander!"
Chu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his soldiers go out.
If we wait until 1942, when Qian Bojun instigated them, I am afraid that many soldiers in the battalion would be bewitched by him.
Even if Qian Bojun is eliminated in the future, the combat effectiveness and reliability of the First Battalion will be greatly reduced.
It will greatly weaken the strength of the 358th Regiment.
Take advantage of this opportunity to find a reason to kill Qian Bojun and eliminate a hidden danger.
It was also a good opportunity to reorganize the 358th Regiment and prepare for the most difficult period from 1940 to 1943.
When the company commander and his men dragged out the bodies of Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui and others, the entire first battalion was alarmed.
They all stared in amazement as the battalion commander's body was dragged out of the barracks like a dog, and they would find a place to bury him soon!
Chu Yunfei walked out of the room and came to an open space. He asked his men to find a few wooden boxes and build a staircase.
He stood on the top and inspected the soldiers present, shouting: "Qian Bojun has been executed for withholding military pay and committing corruption. From today on, everyone's food must return to normal standards, 1.7 jin of grain per day. There must also be meat and vegetables! The monthly military pay for a second-class soldier is 7 yuan. A first-class soldier is 7 yuan and a half. A private first class is 8 yuan and a half. There will be no delays or withholdings! Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be executed!"
I heard the regiment commander Chu Yunfei assure me that the food supply would be greatly improved in the future and the military salaries would be paid on time.
The soldiers of the first battalion shouted happily: "Commander, this is true. You didn't lie to us!"
Chu Yunfei patted his chest and assured, "I was deceived by Qian Bojun before. That's why I treated you badly. As you can see, I have already shot him. I won't treat you badly again!"
Everyone knows that Qian Bojun is Chu Yunfei's trusted subordinate.
But today the team leader actually killed him as well.
It seems that everyone’s food will improve and military salaries will be paid on time in the future.
The soldiers of the first battalion cheered immediately.
"Thank you, Commander!"
"The commander is wise!"
"Thank you, Commander!"
…
At this moment, the soldiers of the first battalion didn't care about Qian Bojun's death at all.
This guy died well!
It’s a wonderful death!
How much money has been deducted from us in recent years?
The commander is still wise!
It also helps us vent our anger!
Chu Yunfei shouted, "You must train seriously in the future and stop being perfunctory! Do you hear me?"
The soldiers shouted in unison. "Yes, Commander!"
"Let's go train!"
Qian Bojun's death and the regiment commander's guarantee that military pay would not be deducted in the future.
This became a hot topic in the first battalion. The whole day was devoted to these topics.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was shocked to hear that Qian Bojun was killed by the regiment commander.
He quickly took his men to the first camp.
At this time, Chu Yunfei was having dinner with the soldiers from the first battalion.
Eat steamed buns made of these grains and drink rice porridge.
Even though there are meat and vegetables, it's really not delicious.
If it wasn’t for the purpose of winning over the troops, Chu Yunfei really wanted to hide in his room and eat special meals.
But……
Chu Yunfei was thinking about building a strong army.
For this purpose, even if the dinner is really not delicious, you have to eat it with your nose held.
Looking at the greasy pork in front of him, Chu Yunfei smiled and passed the meat to a soldier at the same table.
When modern people see fat meat, they think of greasy and fat.
Most people don't like to eat it.
But in this era, especially ordinary people.
Fatty meat means oil and is the supreme delicacy.
The soldier in front of me is only seventeen or eighteen years old.
The reason for joining the army is to have food to eat.
So here I come.
A very simple and plain truth.
In fact, this was also the goal of most of the soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.
As for national hatred and family feuds!
Yes, but there are not many such soldiers.
The reason why more soldiers go to war is that they think: since we eat the food of our superiors, we should obey their orders.
I will beat whoever my boss tells me to beat!
Can’t win?
Then run.
Eating is for survival, and escaping is also for survival!
Everything is just to survive in this war-torn era!
I saw that the commander actually gave his fat meat to me.
The soldier was so moved that he almost cried.
He quickly shouted: "Commander, this..."
Chu Yunfei said with a smile. "Eat! Eat well so you can grow taller and fight the devils!"
"Yes. I will do my best to kill the Japanese in the future!" The soldier stood up and shouted loudly.
Why!
At this age, in my era, I would probably still be in high school and worrying about the college entrance examination!
As for food?
In that era, people not only cared about having enough to eat, but also about eating nutritious food.
Please don’t be picky about food!
It's not like now, a piece of fat meat is like Chinese New Year. Happy!
"Commander!"
When Chu Yunfei was happily talking to the soldiers, the voice of Staff Officer Fang rang in his ears.
He turned around and looked over. "Oh. Brother Ligong is here! Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together!"
Seeing that the commander was still in the mood to eat, Fang Ligong said anxiously: "Commander! Something terrible has happened!"
