Volume 1 Chapter 023 I, Chu Yunfei, am here! (Part 1)
Everyone thought that an enemy was coming, but when Chu Yunfei saw the surrounding environment clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I feel sleepy.
I even forgot that I came to the independent regiment to observe and learn.
The Eighth Route Army got up at six o'clock, while the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not get up until half past six.
What just happened was the sound of the bugle call for getting up.
Now that you are here, you might as well learn from the training of the Eighth Route Army.
Might as well learn a trick or two.
Chu Yunfei got up, washed up briefly, and then took Sun Ming to visit the training of the independent team.
morning exercises!
Bayonet technique!
Civil engineering fortification training!
…
Chu Yunfei didn't miss any of them.
I saw the soldiers of the independent regiment training in the techniques of using the broadsword and bayonet.
Chu Yunfei recalled the training of the soldiers of his 358th Regiment.
Damn it!
Even though their food was better than that of the Eighth Route Army and their physique was not bad, they just didn't have that wolf-like and tiger-like momentum.
I feel like my subordinates are just a bunch of elementary school students playing around.
There is no such momentum as when two armies engage in hand-to-hand combat, a life-and-death fight!
It seems that the 358th Regiment is also going to establish a big knife team.
A tiger charging in the front can boost the momentum of the entire group.
While Chu Yunfei was thinking about this question, Zhang Dabiao came over.
"Captain!"
He was about to speak, but when he saw Chu Yunfei here, he stopped talking again!
Li Yunlong saw this and thought that Chu Yunfei was thinking of joining the Eighth Route Army.
Although I don’t know whether it is true or not.
But if I hide it from Chu Yunfei at this time, it will only leave a bad impression on the other party.
"Don't be so mysterious, just speak up!" Li Yunlong reminded him, "All the important military secrets of our regiment will be disclosed to Commander Chu!"
Zhang Dabiao heard the commander say this: He then said: "Commander, according to your order. This morning, I sent three shifts to Baicun again to urge for flour! Chairman Bai claimed that the flour had been obtained from somewhere else. But it will not arrive until tomorrow morning. He asked us to go again tomorrow and said that we need to bring more people. Because there are dozens of bags, we are afraid that not enough people can carry them! Commander, it seems that the bait has really taken the bait!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Captain Chu probably didn't understand! Let's go inside. You'll understand after you look at the map!"
Chu Yunfei knew what Li Yunlong was trying to do, but he would not say anything at this time.
At the command center of the independent regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong explained his plan and asked:
"Regarding the strategy of mobilizing the Japanese troops from the Huting stronghold and then annihilating them, I would like to hear what Brother Yunfei thinks of this strategy!"
Chu Yunfei said with a smile. "I, Yunfei, am here to be a student. I only brought my ears and eyes!"
"Since Brother Chu is unwilling, I won't force him! Brother Chu, are you interested in going with me to the Huting stronghold to take a look at the Japanese?"
Chu Yunfei knew that the independent regiment had killed a major general and several colonels of the Japanese.
It was quite impressive.
but……
It took two days and one night to finally get the chance.
Just imagine lying on the ground for two days and one night, being hungry, and possibly even wetting the bed.
Chu Yunfei would like to thank you for your help!
"I'd better wait for news from your military headquarters!"
"Okay!" Li Yunlong shouted. "Monk!"
Wei Dayong ran over. "Captain! You called me!"
"Go! Call the second battalion commander over!"
Shen Quan ran over. "Captain, you're looking for me!"
"Captain Chu is the distinguished guest of my regiment. I have a military mission. You are responsible for receiving him during this period!"
"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"
Li Yunlong led the 1st Battalion to ambush the Huting stronghold, leaving the 2nd and 3rd Battalions to garrison while waiting for the political commissar.
Less than half a day after Li Yunlong left, Political Commissar Zhao Gang came back.
"Where's the captain?"
Shen Quan dared not hide anything from the political commissar. "The regiment commander took the first battalion to the Huting stronghold!"
When Zhao Gang heard that Li Yunlong was leading a battalion to attack the Japanese stronghold, he shouted.
"Nonsense! It's already this late, and he's still leading a battalion to fight the Japs!"
What could Shen Quan say? He dared not say anything and could only remain silent.
Zhao Gang also knew that Li Yunlong had a stubborn temper that could not be restrained even by eight horses.
There was no way Shen Quan could persuade him.
He suppressed his temper and said, "Where's Captain Chu? He went with them, too!"
"No! He stayed at headquarters!"
"That's good!" Zhao Gang said with a sigh of relief. "Now that the First Battalion is not here, your mission is very heavy. The division has ordered us to garrison Chenjiayu. Protect the headquarters' flank. The general is right behind us, and we must hold our ground at all costs. Do you understand?"
"Yes. Commissar!"
Shen Quan quickly took his troops to Chenjiayu to set up a defense line, and Zhao Gang came to Chu Yunfei's room.
"Captain Chu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Chu Yunfei put down the book and said, "It doesn't matter. Brother Zhao has already contacted the headquarters this time!"
"Well! The headquarters is very happy that Brother Chu can understand the greater good and turn to the light and join our army. In view of the current situation, the headquarters believes that it is more appropriate for Brother Chu to not openly change his allegiance for the time being and continue to fly the banner of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army!"
The leaders of the Eighth Route Army headquarters did not dare to judge whether Chu Yunfei really intended to join them.
After all, it's really incredible.
For safety reasons.
It was decided to let Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei get in touch first, and then determine whether he really wanted to surrender based on Chu Yunfei's performance in the future.
I heard that the Eighth Route Army temporarily prevented me from making a public announcement.
Chu Yunfei was not surprised.
In fact, this is also the result Chu Yunfei wants now.
After all, they are now the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and they are replenishing their weapons from Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek.
It can help the Eighth Route Army find a way to supply weapons.
Not to mention that we are now fighting against Japan, if I openly make rebellious actions.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could not turn a deaf ear and dumb, and the Eighth Route Army would not be able to deal with it either.
No matter how it is handled at that time, it will affect the overall situation of the War of Resistance.
Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "No problem! I will continue to stay in the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and can also secretly support the headquarters!"
Zhao Gang said, "Yes! The boss made this decision because of this consideration! In order to protect Brother Chu's safety, only the boss, the deputy commander-in-chief, and Captain Li and I know Brother Chu's identity! From now on, I will be Brother Chu's direct contact!"
"Brother Zhao, I'm assured of your meticulousness!" Chu Yunfei took the opportunity to put forward his request. "Brother Zhao, the soldiers in my regiment are not very interested in your army. In order to avoid trouble in the future uprising, I think it would be best for your army to send some company commanders, battalion commanders, instructors and the like to join the 358th Regiment. It just so happens that I'm preparing to form the 5th Battalion and am recruiting soldiers. You can take this opportunity to sneak in!"
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's practice of corruption and withholding military pay has become ingrained in the officers' bones.
It's hard to make a radical change.
However, they did not reorganize the regiment thoroughly, and wanted to make the 358th Regiment a strong team so as to fight the Japanese army head-on.
It's simply impossible!
Now Chu Yunfei is thinking of calling on the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to fundamentally change this situation.
After hearing Chu Yunfei's plan, I was a little worried that Chu Yunfei was using a Trojan horse strategy.
Now Zhao Gang has no worries at all.
Unless he truly surrenders to our army, that general will allow hostile forces to infiltrate his troops.
As long as most of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment are loyal to our army, even if Chu Yunfei is not sincere in joining our army, the 358th Regiment will belong to our army at that time.
"Captain Chu is very wise, this is a very good plan! After I report to the headquarters, I will select the right person to join the 358th Regiment!"
Chu Yunfei reminded. "Those who join the 358th Regiment, Brother Zhao, please remind them that they'd better not have communist tendencies in the next one or two years. There are spies of Yan Xishan and Chiang Kai-shek in our regiment. If you are too impatient, they will find out. Then all your efforts will be wasted! At this stage, let them fight with peace of mind and rise to a high position in the 358th Regiment as soon as possible, so that they can accomplish great things!"
"Yes! Brother Chu reminded me. I will warn these people!"
Chu Yunfei said with satisfaction. "Then I feel relieved!"
About how to contact in the future.
How to respond in an emergency.
How to get more weapons through the 358th Regiment.
…
Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei talked about these matters in great detail.
After all, it won’t be easy to have such a detailed discussion in the future, so it’s best to hurry up and make it happen.
Just when Zhao Gang and Chu Yunfei were having a pleasant conversation.
The second battalion commander Shen Quan ran over quickly.
"Political Commissar, it's bad! Traces of the Japanese were found on the cliff behind the mountain!"
"What?" Zhao Gang shouted in surprise.
The headquarters of the 18th Group Army is in the rear. If the Japanese break through the defense line of the independent team, they can go straight to Huanglong and attack the headquarters.
No matter which leader gets into trouble, the independent regiment will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Even if the entire regiment is wiped out, we must not let a single enemy pass.
"Brother Chu, I'm sorry. If there is an enemy situation, I will fight off the devils and then come back to discuss with you!"
Zhao Gang had no time to talk to Chu Yunfei at this time. He hurriedly said that he would lead the second and third battalions to set up the defense line.
Chu Yunfei knew what had happened.
Yamamoto's Special Forces are coming!
How could he sit still at this time?
The reason for not following Li Yunlong to ambush at Hu Ting's stronghold was this moment.
We didn’t catch this group of devils last time, so we must not miss them this time.
Chu Yunfei shouted: "Sun Ming!"
"Here! What instructions does the commander have?"
"Go. Call the guard company over. Follow me to fight the Japs!"
