Volume 1 Chapter 027 Familiar Face

Chu Yunfei is his general, and Yang Aiyuen doesn't want him to leave a bad impression in Yan Xishan's mind.

"No! Yun Fei is a talented general, but he still lacks a little experience!"

Sun Chu also nodded in agreement and said, "From the battles of the past few years, it can be proved that his tactical command ability is extraordinary! Moreover, his strategy is not wrong. It's just that implementing it... is not easy!"

Yan Xishan heard his subordinates comment that Chu Yunfei was just inexperienced, but his fighting skills were still very strong.

Only then did he feel relieved.

"Since Chu Yunfei still needs training, let's train him for a few more years!"

“ As it should be!”

…

Chu Yunfei didn't know that because of his words, Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan and others valued him very much, but on the other hand, they also gave him a lot of tasks.

But he didn't know any of this.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't care!

After all, his plan is very grand, and it is not easy to implement it.

If you want to drive the Eighth Route Army out of Shanxi, you also have to ask whether the guns in their hands agree.

They are not even afraid of the Japanese army, so how could they be afraid of you, Mr. Yan?

As for seizing Beijing, Tianjin, and Shandong, it was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. Chiang Kai-shek was willing to agree.

If Yan Xishan dared to do this, he would have a falling out with Chiang Kai-shek.

Two dogs fight, play off!

Chu Yunfei had no doubt that Yan Xishan would do this, because he did not want to be eliminated by Chiang Kai-shek. If he wanted to continue to maintain his wealth and glory, he could only try his best to occupy Shandong, Beijing and Tianjin.

A blacksmith must be strong himself!

If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wants to occupy these two areas, it needs sufficient manpower.

As the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the 358th Regiment will naturally expand its forces.

As soon as the Anti-Japanese War was won, he led his troops to capture an important city.

At that time, whether it is to raise the banner openly or to present it to Chiang Kai-shek, the benefits of the promotion path can be maximized.

He spent three days at Kenanpo in Ji County, visiting his immediate superior Yang Aiyuen, as well as high-ranking officials of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army such as Sun Chu, in order to win their favor and make his presence felt.

It will also be convenient for someone to lend a hand when you are in trouble in the future.

Returned to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment from Kenanpo, Ji County.

After dealing with the military affairs left over from the past few days, Chu Yunfei was sitting in his study room looking at the material consumption report for this period of time.

The 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment with more than 5,000 troops.

So many people consume a huge amount of supplies every day.

Now the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army can only retreat to western Shanxi, and its income has dropped sharply.

He also wanted to continue to expand his own strength, which could only require that every penny of the 358th Regiment's funds be spent effectively and not let his subordinates embezzle the money for personal use.

Just as Chu Yunfei was looking at the report with a headache, Fang Ligong walked in.

"Commander!"

"Brother Ligong is here, what's the matter?"

Fang Ligong seemed to have encountered a very troublesome matter and said, "There is one thing, but I don't know if I should tell you!"

Chu Yunfei said unhappily: "Just tell me what you have to say. Although we are superiors and subordinates, we are as close as brothers. Just tell me what you have to say!"

Fang Ligong immediately told him about the headaches he had been having recently.

"Commander! Isn't the 5th Battalion currently recruiting soldiers? An officer from the Eighth Route Army came to join us recently!"

"who?"

"Shen Quan, former commander of the Second Battalion of the Independent Regiment!"

Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment.

"Shen Quan? Why did he come to join us?"

"I asked the same question. He said he came here because he admired your reputation!"

Chu Yunfei thought secretly.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army arranged personnel to come here so quickly?

But this is too hasty!

And a battalion commander was sent here.

This is too obvious!

It is easy to attract Yan Xishan's attention.

But with Zhao Gang's wisdom, he shouldn't be so short-sighted!

Chu Yunfei decided to find Shen Quan first and ask him about it.

"Call that man over here. I want to interrogate him on the spot!"

"Yes! Commander!"

Shen Quan was brought here.

He was not very tall, but he was strong, and his skin was very rough, and it was obvious that he had been exposed to the sun and rain for many years.

Chu Yunfei looked Shen Quan up and down and asked, "You are already the battalion commander of the independent regiment, why did you come to join my 358th Regiment!"

"In this area, the one I admire most is you, Captain Chu. When I heard that the 358th Regiment was recruiting soldiers, I simply left my team and came to join the army! Captain, I can endure hardships and fight. As long as the commander gives the order, I will pick up my gun and do it!"

Chu Yunfei hesitated for a moment and asked, "If the 358th Regiment and the Independent Regiment fight against the Eighth Route Army in the future, would you dare to shoot them?"

Fang Ligong also looked at Shen Quan with curiosity, wanting to hear his answer.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Quan seemed to have made up his mind.

"I will listen to whoever I eat the food from. I will do whatever the boss tells me to do!"

As if satisfied with Shen Quan's answer, Chu Yunfei said, "You were a battalion commander in the Eighth Route Army, but here you can only start as a company commander! Do you agree to this condition?"

"Can you eat enough?"

Fang Ligong had never expected to hear this answer and almost laughed out loud.

He soon felt relieved.

Almost all Chinese soldiers betrayed their original troops because their original troops were too poor and they could not bear it.

It seems that Shen Quan couldn't stand it either. It happened that the team leader had carried out a series of reforms during this period.

The 358th Regiment is well-known.

Now even the officers of the Eighth Route Army have been attracted here.

Chu Yunfei laughed when he heard Shen Quan's reason. "Of course. My 358th Regiment will not let its men starve!"

Shen Quan said happily. "That's fine. As long as I can eat enough, I'll be the company commander!"

"Work hard. I, Chu Yunfei, will not treat my brothers unfairly!"

Hearing that Chu Yunfei was willing to take him in, Shen Quan bowed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, Captain! Thank you, Captain!"

Chu Yunfei waved his hand to let Shen Quan go down .

After he left, Chu Yunfei said to the other party: "Send someone to monitor this person! If you find him doing something tricky, arrest him immediately!"

Fang Ligong nodded. "I understand!"

After dealing with the accumulated work in the group over the past few days, Chu Yunfei thought of Shen Quan.

He brought Sun Ming to the recruit training camp for inspection.

"Salute!" The soldier on guard duty in Yingkou saluted immediately when he saw Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei nodded and walked into the military camp.

At this time, some people in the military camp were conducting shooting training, and most people were practicing bayonet fighting techniques.

"salute!"

When they saw the commander, they immediately stopped training and saluted.

Chu Yunfei returned the greeting and said, "Captain of the 5th Battalion, gather all the soldiers!"

"yes!"

The fifth battalion commander Shi Song shouted, "Assemble!"

The bugler blew the bugle.
