Volume 1 Chapter 011 Eating Meat and Drinking Soup
Seeing Fang Ligong's anxious look, Chu Yunfei said calmly, "What happened? Did the Japanese attack us?"
Fang Ligong looked around, as if this was not the place to talk.
"follow me!"
Since Chu Yunfei didn’t like the food here in the first place, he simply asked Fang Ligong to go to Qian Bojun’s yard.
This place has been cleaned up, even the blood has been cleared away.
"What are you so nervous about? Brother Ligong!"
Chu Yunfei sat down and motioned the other party to sit down as well.
Fang Ligong sat down and said, "Commander, why are you so impulsive that you eliminated your trusted subordinate Qian Bojun! Now the commanders of other battalions are in a panic. I wonder what your intention is?"
Chu Yunfei explained: "I understand now. We can't eradicate the evil in the army without severe punishment. Qian Bojun is a coward who doesn't dare to fight hard on the battlefield. Off the battlefield, he is greedy and withholds military pay. The most important thing is that he dared to send troops to capture me! This man must not be kept alive!"
When Fang Ligong first heard Chu Yunfei's explanation, he didn't agree with it.
But when he heard that Qian Bojun actually dared to send troops to capture the regiment commander, he was shocked.
Rebellion has always been a taboo in the military!
If that was the case, it would not be surprising that the commander killed him.
After all, no leader would keep a subordinate who wants to rebel against his superiors.
Fang Ligong persuaded. "Commander, Qian Bojun deserves death. It's just that the commander should appease the other battalion commanders!"
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army, who among them is not greedy?
If it was because of corruption, Qian Bojun would be killed.
The battalion commanders and company commanders of the 358th Regiment were all worried that they would be killed by Chu Yunfei.
If that were the case, I'm afraid these battalion commanders and company commanders would unite and launch a military rebellion!
I had anticipated this situation from the beginning. Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "Well! Brother Ligong is right. If I go to appease them now, I'm afraid they will be frightened. How about this! You take two thousand silver dollars to appease them. Tell them that Qian Bojun deserves his crime. I, Chu Yunfei, am not a person who kills innocent people. I will not implicate them! Tell them not to worry and lead the troops with peace of mind!"
If Chu Yunfei didn't have money, he wouldn't dare to act so rashly.
When Fang Ligong heard that Chu Yunfei was going to take out money to appease other officers, he was immediately relieved.
Things are easier if you have money!
After all, Qian Bojun often acts in an arrogant and domineering manner, relying on his status as Chu Yunfei's trusted subordinate.
If he wasn't afraid of a major purge by the regimental commander.
These battalion commanders would never care about Qian Bojun's death.
Just know that the commander is not thinking of a major purge!
Fang Ligong relaxed and began to think about the First Battalion. He said, "Commander. Now Qian Bojun is dead, and Zhang Fugui is also dead. What are you going to do with this battalion?"
"This is also a problem that bothers me!" Chu Yunfei asked, "Brother Ligong, who do you think is suitable to be the commander of the first battalion now?"
Fang Ligong thought for a while and said, "The commander of the Second Battalion, Wu Ziqiang, can be the commander of the First Battalion, and the commander of the First Company, Li Hui, can be the deputy commander to help Wu Ziqiang get familiar with the First Battalion as soon as possible. As for the Second Battalion, Cheng Yuqing can be appointed as the deputy commander!"
Fang Ligong gave his own opinions on some personnel arrangements.
"Very good! I'll do as you said! Brother Ligong, please go and comfort the others! I'll approve the funds you need. Go to the Quartermaster's Office to get them!"
Fang Ligong didn't feel tired at all for rushing to appease others just after arriving.
Instead, he believed that Chu Yunfei trusted him, which was why he entrusted such an important matter to him.
"Yes, Commander! I'll do it right away!"
Fang Ligong led the guard squad and hurried to the regiment headquarters to get money to appease other battalion commanders.
Chu Yunfei thought that he had not eaten enough, and he didn’t want to go back to the cafeteria now.
"Sun Ming!"
Sun Ming walked in. "Commander. You called me?"
"Go. Ask the kitchen staff to make me a bowl of noodles! Something light!"
"Yes. Commander!"
…
It is extremely difficult to eradicate the greedy and embezzling style of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.
It can be said that the style of greed and withholding military pay has penetrated into the bones of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Even though Qian Bojun had just been killed and even though a new battalion commander was transferred in, the problem of greed and withholding of military pay could not be stopped.
1.7 kilograms of food, right?
Then replace it with old rice and whole grains.
Need meat?
Offal, dog meat...
Need some food?
Rotten vegetables, cheap vegetables, etc.
As long as they are greedy, these people will always find loopholes to be greedy.
Chu Yunfei led the guard company to patrol back and forth in the first, second, third, fourth battalions, as well as the fifth battalion which was still under construction and training.
Check on the soldiers' training and eat with them.
Unlike before, Chu Yunfei left all the chores to his subordinates. He was only responsible for the important matters of tactics and strategy.
Now that he is personally in charge, the atmosphere in the 358th Regiment has changed somewhat.
With Chu Yunfei's supervision, the problem of withholding military pay in the 358th Regiment is not so rampant anymore!
The soldiers' attitude towards Chu Yunfei also changed greatly.
Closer to him !
Just by doing this, he wanted to turn the 358th Regiment overward and turn it into a strong army immediately.
Then the famous generals in the world would be worthless.
The 358th Regiment has changed, but only slightly. There is still a long way to go before it can become a force that dares to show its sword and fight.
Chu Yunfei knew that if you were impatient, you wouldn't get what you want, and if you took too big a step, you'd probably end up in trouble!
What's more, we are in wartime now, and the Japanese army may attack the 358th Regiment at any time.
It is impossible to make major changes, otherwise it will be dangerous if it causes turmoil.
Chu Yunfei was making changes to the 358th Regiment while learning military knowledge.
That day, Chu Yunfei stayed in the combat command room, looking at the sand table in the hall.
I was thinking about the tactics of how to defend if the Japanese attacked the 358th Regiment.
Fang Ligong walked in, stood at attention and said, "Commander! The Intelligence Department has sent the latest news. There is a situation with the independent regiment that you asked to keep a close eye on! Last night, a group of Japanese troops suddenly attacked the independent regiment. The independent regiment suffered heavy casualties, and even their political commissar was killed. However, the strange thing is that the Japanese troops did not want to fight and retreated after one battle. It is said that the headquarters of the 18th Route Army is very annoyed about this matter. Kong Jie, the commander of the independent regiment, has been removed from his post and a new commander will be sent!"
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei immediately understood.
It seems that the independent regiment was attacked by the special forces led by Japanese Colonel Yamamoto.
It seems that the Japanese special forces are indeed quite capable. I have already ordered the intelligence department to closely monitor the independent regiment.
But no one expected that these special forces could actually hide from the intelligence department and attack the independent regiment at night.
I was thinking that the mantis stalks the cicada, while the oriole is behind. I wanted to ambush those Japanese special forces.
Pity!
Now that Kong Jie has been removed, Li Yunlong will soon be reinstated as the leader of the independent team.
Then in order to boost morale as quickly as possible, he will soon send troops to seize the cavalry battalion of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army of Wanjia Town!
Think of this!
Chu Yunfei hugged his waist with his left hand and pinched his chin with his right hand.
Can our 358th Regiment get some benefits from this this time?
Wanjia Town is next to Zhengtai Road.
This is a big trouble!
If the Imperial Army were attacked, it would request assistance from the Japanese army.
The Japanese will be able to quickly rush over to provide support via Zhengtai Road.
Once we are entangled by the Japanese, we will be assisted by heavy artillery, even tanks and airplanes.
They would inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat, or even be directly eaten by the Japanese.
Because of this, we know that the puppet army’s combat effectiveness is not strong.
Neither the Eighth Route Army nor the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would rashly attack Wanjia Town. They would have to wait for the right opportunity to act, and they would only dare to fight a small battle, not a large one!
This time, the independent regiment wanted to seize the cavalry battalion of the Imperial Army.
Considering that they are members of the Eighth Route Army, we will not compete with them.
but!
They eat meat, so my 358th Regiment must have some soup!
How can I take advantage of this opportunity to have some soup?
