Volume 1 Chapter 020 Military Discipline
Damn it.
I just seized the weapons and equipment of a cavalry battalion.
Now it has become a company.
Chu Yunfei seized the weapons and equipment of an entire brigade of puppet troops.
Why didn't anyone share his?
Same person, different fate!
Li Yunlong walked out of the regiment headquarters with his hands behind his back and a bitter face.
Li Yunlong was wrong.
It’s not that no one came to share Chu Yunfei’s spoils.
It should be said that Chu Yunfei handed it over on his own initiative.
Fang Ligong brought the battle report.
Of course, the most important thing was that 8 golden small yellow croakers and 2,000 oceans were also delivered to the Sixth Army Headquarters.
"Commander! This is a token of Captain Chu's heart!"
Yang Aiyuen took a look at the silver dollars and small gold bars, turned around, slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"You are so bold! You dispatched nearly half a regiment to attack Wanjia Town, but you didn't even report it to the headquarters! Do you still have me as your commander in your eyes?"
Report to headquarters.
With so many spies and agents around Commander Yan, I'm afraid the enemy will know as soon as they report it.
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Fang Ligong didn't dare to say it out loud.
He smiled and said, "Commander, the military situation is really urgent. Our intelligence officers have heard that the independent regiment is making a big move. The situation is urgent, and Captain Chu really has no way to contact the commander in time, so he mobilized the troops without authorization. As soon as the battle was over, Captain Chu sent his subordinates to explain to the commander! I hope the commander will forgive Captain Chu once for his dedication to the anti-Japanese war and his loyalty to the country and the party!"
Sun Chu, deputy commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army and commander of the 33rd Army, said, "Xingru, as the saying goes, a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home! Chu Yunfei mobilized troops without authorization to attack the puppet army. More importantly, this time he annihilated a brigade of the puppet army, which can be said to be a great victory. If he is punished for this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of his subordinates. It is better not to punish him!"
Fang Ligong was touched when he heard Sun Chu asking for help.
5 small yellow croakers, 2,000 dollars for a gift, it's really worth it! !
Sun Chu and Yang Aiyuan were classmates at the Baoding Military Academy, and they had a very good relationship. It could even be said that Sun Chu was Yang Aiyuan's think tank and chief of staff.
Sun Chu helped persuade them. Yang Aiyuan, who originally had no intention of punishing his trusted subordinates, took the opportunity to say, "Since Sun Junzhang has explained it clearly for you, I will not punish you for this matter. Take the things! Remember, if you have any battle plans in the future, you must report them to me!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Next time we have a combat plan, I will definitely discuss it with the headquarters in advance!" Fang Ligong nodded quickly. "Commander, Commander Chu has always been very grateful for your promotion. If it weren't for you, Commander Chu said he would still be a soldier. In his mind, he has always respected you like a father. This is his little gift. Please don't refuse it. Otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining it when I go back!"
Sun Chu also spoke up . "Take it, Xingru! Chu Yunfei is in such a difficult situation, and he is always thinking about you, the commander. Don't let his hard work go to waste!"
Be soft-hearted when you receive favors, and be soft-hearted when you eat food!
Chu Yunfei was so considerate, Yang Aiyuen had no choice but to express his gratitude.
Yang Aiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the attack on Wanjia Town consumed a lot of ammunition!"
"Yeah!" Fang Ligong complained quickly, "In order to destroy the puppet army before the Japanese rescue, our regiment suffered heavy losses this time. We have almost used up all the artillery shells. Three guns were damaged!"
The artillery is Chu Yunfei's treasure.
I usually take great care of it. How could it be easily damaged?
This is not just about asking for more artillery.
Which general would complain about having too many artillery pieces in his army?
Yang Aiyuan glanced at the other party and said, "It is impossible to allocate more mortars to you. Last time, other divisions were very dissatisfied! Report the ammunition consumed this time, and I will replenish the ammunition for you!"
In addition to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's military factories that could produce hundreds of thousands of missiles every month, Yan Xishan could also purchase some weapons from the Soviet Union and even the United States through Mongolia, Xinjiang, Sichuan, and Yunnan.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s life is harder now than before the Anti-Japanese War, but not too hard!
Mortars and mountain cannons can no longer be allocated to Chu Yunfei.
But bullets are still easy to talk about.
The reason for sending out so many gold bars and silver dollars was not only to prevent the headquarters from blaming the 358th Regiment for mobilizing troops without authorization, but also to ask for help from the headquarters to replenish ammunition.
Now that he heard that the matter was resolved, Fang Ligong quickly stood up, saluted and said, "Thank you, Commander, thank you, Commander Sun!"
Sun Chu said with a smile: "Your regiment commander is a great man! Let him let go and fight the devils!"
Hearing Sun Chu praising Chu Yunfei, he also asked him to let go.
Isn't this equivalent to telling him that he can act on his own in the future?
With his protection, Chu Yunfei will definitely not suffer any loss.
Seeing his old classmate shielding Chu Yunfei like this, Yang Aiyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
…
As soon as Fang Ligong returned to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, he immediately reported to Chu Yunfei.
After listening to the chief of staff's story, Chu Yunfei nodded.
It turned out to be just as I expected.
As long as I win the battle, the headquarters will not hold me accountable for mobilizing troops without authorization.
Even if we lose the war, as long as the money is in place.
I will still be fine!
Why!
This is the shortcoming of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army - lax military discipline!
No one takes military law seriously.
The troops are restrained by the commander's personal self-discipline.
Such an army may be able to win one or two battles, but it will never become a strong army.
Forget it, it’s my luck to be associated with such an army.
At least I can arrange my own battle plan.
However, in the short term, the 358th Regiment will not be able to go out again.
Two big battles in a row.
The troops are tired and the wounded need time to recover.
Soldiers who died in battle needed to be replaced by new soldiers.
New soldiers need training.
It would take at least three to five months to complete the first stage of training.
If it were normal times, the Japanese army would naturally not give Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment such a relaxed time.
but……
Chu Yunfei was not worried at all.
Because he knew that someone would cause great trouble to the Japanese army.
Started in August 1940.
In accordance with the unified deployment of the General Command, the Eighth Route Army launched simultaneous attacks on enemy and puppet troops on various fronts in North China.
There were more than 100 regiments and more than 400,000 troops participating in the war.
The Japanese rear was in chaos.
Transport and communications were paralyzed.
At this time, the Japanese reinforcements approached the Eighth Route Army in different directions.
An attempt to form a pincer attack from the east and the west.
The Eighth Route Army began to transfer troops randomly.
Start the second phase of the operation!
The Hundred Regiments Campaign dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army in the early stages, and the most important thing was that it paralyzed the Japanese army's transportation in North China.
In order to maintain their plunder in North China, the Japanese army had to spend effort and resources to restore transportation.
This was a heavy burden for the Japanese army, which was already short of resources.
At the same time, it also weakened the mobility of the Japanese army to a certain extent.
At the same time, it forced the Japanese army to expand its military, dispatch troops to garrison, and encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese base in North China.
This expanded the Japanese army's front line and also increased their investment and consumption.
The Hundred Regiments Campaign not only shocked the Japanese army, but also the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army.
The Communist army has expanded so much without making any noise.
This made Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek both unable to sleep or eat.
They were eager to know how many soldiers the Eighth Route Army had and what their weapons and equipment were like.
Now they don't dare to fully believe the information sent by intelligence personnel.
Yan Xishan used the name of joint anti-Japanese resistance and mutual communication.
It was decided to send an observation group composed of senior officers to visit the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
He wanted his men to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears.
Get a more intuitive understanding of the current strength of the Eighth Route Army.
358th Regiment Headquarters. Fang Ligong came over with a telegram.
"Commander, the superiors have ordered you to go to the Eighth Route Army's headquarters in the middle of this month as a member of the observation group to conduct exchanges between the two armies!"
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he took the telegram from Fang Ligong's hand and read it quickly.
finally come!
What I have been planning all along.
The opportunity came!
It's time to get ready!
Chu Yunfei put the telegram down and said, "I understand. I will attend on time!"
"I'm taking my leave!" After Fang Ligong saluted, he left the study and went to do other things.
Chu Yunfei shouted.
"Sun Ming!"
The captain of the guard company, Sun Ming, walked in quickly, saluted and said, "Yes!"
Chu Yunfei stared at Sun Ming and asked very seriously, "Sun Ming, can I trust you?"
