I am helping

Chu Yunfei said casually: "Brother Yunlong, in the face of a national crisis, you and I are both soldiers, and we should serve the country on the battlefield. Chu is unwilling to intervene in factional disputes, and only wants the independence and freedom of the nation. We are all friendly troops and have a common goal. Enemies. I can’t control the affairs above, but Brother Yunlong must return the equipment of this battalion to my brother no matter what, otherwise my brothers in that battalion will use fire sticks to fight the devils.”

Today Chu Yunfei came to Xinyi regiment to look for Li Yunlong, mainly to get back the American equipment and transportation team of the 1st battalion.

As for the more than 2500 skilled workers in the arsenal.

Naturally, Chief Yan would negotiate with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and Chu Yunfei could not make the decision.

"Brother Chu, it's really not that I, Li Yunlong, didn't return your equipment. The main reason is that the order to disarm was given by the head of our Eighth Route Army headquarters."

Li Yunlong said sincerely:
"Brother Chu, you also said just now that you and I are both soldiers, and you should know that obeying orders is the duty of soldiers."

"If I return this batch of equipment to you, then I may be dismissed from my post, and if I fail, I will be shot."

"Our Eighth Route Army has strict discipline, and brother, I am a regiment commander."

"Brother Chu, you also know how rich my new regiment is now. If my position as regiment leader disappears, the new regiment will be cheaper for others."

"It's not easy for me to save such a large family fortune. Brother Chu doesn't want to see me being dismissed or shot, right?"

Even if Yan Xishan gave the equipment of these 5000 people to other Jinsui Army troops and sent other Jinsui Army troops to Woniushan for trading.

Li Yunlong will also order the disarmament and rob the Jinsui army's transport team.

Although a battalion's advanced equipment and more than 350 mule carts are nothing to today's Xinyi regiment.

But when he ate the meat in his mouth, no matter whether it was fat or lean, how could Li Yunlong spit it out?

Moreover, Li Yunlong ordered the disarmament of this battalion's equipment and more than 350 mule carts in order to teach Yan Laoxi a lesson.

Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment was a disaster without any reason.

When Chu Yunfei heard this, his expression sank a little.

Secretly thinking that Li Yunlong is really a scoundrel, with your military exploits and reputation, as well as the support channels behind you, Li Yunlong, would the Eighth Route Army headquarters be willing to kill you?

It is clear that Li Yunlong does not want to return the equipment and transport team.

"Brother Yunlong." Chu Yunfei glanced at Li Yunlong and said again, "I was ordered by Commander Yan to ask for the equipment and transportation team of that battalion. If Brother Yunlong doesn't return it to me, brother, I will go back. Turn over to Chief Yan."

With a haha ​​smile, Li Yunlong said: "I think it's what's going on, brother Chu, it's easy to handle, you can let Chief Yan come to Zhaojiayu to ask for it in person, if Chief Yan doesn't come, brother Chu, you can also go to Jin Southeast, look for the head of our Eighth Route Army, if the headquarters orders the return of this batch of equipment and transport team, I, Li Yunlong, will return it to you immediately without further ado."

Chu Yunfei's heart sank, it seemed that Li Yunlong didn't give him any face.

He always came to ask for equipment in person, with such a low posture, Li Yunlong still refused to return the equipment.

From meeting Gong Wei at the beginning, to saying that it was a misunderstanding, and to bringing out the righteousness of the clan, Chu Yunfei had thought it all over when he came here.

It can be regarded as understanding with reason and moving with emotion, but Li Yunlong didn't let go at all.

Because this time, Li Yunlong was not targeting Chu Yunfei, but Yan Xishan.

Chief Yan stabbed Xinyituan in the back, and Li Yunlong would naturally reciprocate.

If those military command agents and Japanese spies were allowed to sneak into the arsenal and destroy the arsenal, the entire arsenal of the new regiment might be blown up.

That loss would be unbearable.

Fortunately, Boss Chen provided the information.

If it weren't for the fact that they are now cooperating to fight against Japan, according to Li Yunlong's temper, he really wanted to lead a new regiment to Luliang Mountain to destroy the Jinsui army.

Just snatching the equipment and transportation team of Yan Xishan's battalion is considered cheap for Yan Xishan.

Chu Yunfei stood up, with a slightly ugly face, cupped his fists and said, "In that case, I will take my leave, brother."

"Brother Chu." Li Yunlong stood up and said, "Brother, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Chu Yunfei: "Brother Yunlong, it's okay to say."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly and said: "Yan Laoxi is not a wise master, he just likes to stab a knife in the back. With your brother Chu's military talent and tactical command ability, you are too talented in the Jinsui Army. I have a deputy commander here." Brother Chu, do you want to think about it... I know Brother Chu, you like American equipment, as long as you bring the 358 regiment to our Eighth Route Army, you will have endless American equipment and ammunition in the future."

"Although my army is only a regiment-level organization, its strength has exceeded 5."

"Hey, the third in command of a 5-odd US military force, I wonder if Brother Chu is interested?"

Why is it the third in command, not the second in command?
Because in the Eighth Route Army, the commander is the number one, the political commissar is the second, and the deputy head and chief of staff can only be counted as the third.

For such a large regiment, it is also possible to have a few more deputy regimental leaders.

Of course, Li Yunlong was just trying to test Chu Yunfei, and let Chu Yunfei be the deputy head of the new regiment, and he needed to be appointed by the headquarters himself.

Chu Yunfei's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but gasp. The new group has expanded to more than 5 people?

During the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan last year, the Xinyi Regiment had beaten Taiyuan and traveled to Northwest Shanxi, with a total strength of only [-] to [-] men.

It's only been half a year, and it has expanded tenfold.

The speed at which the Communist Party pulls the team is truly terrifying!
Chu Yunfei secretly sighed.

But what also made Chu Yunfei very puzzled was that Li Yunlong had made so many and great military exploits, and the army had grown so strong, why was he still just a regiment leader?
If Li Yunlong joined the national army, Li Yunlong's current position, not to mention the commander of the theater, would at least be the commander of the group army or the commander of the corps.

And it will be vigorously reported by the national army, promoting Li Yunlong as a god.

If Li Yunlong joined the national army and became the commander of the group army or corps, he, Chu Yunfei, would definitely join Li Yunlong.

Based on his relationship with Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei could at least be a major general, not just an ordinary teacher, but an ace master of American weapons.

pity…

"Thank you brother Yunlong for your kindness." Chu Yunfei cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I will seriously consider it."

"That's fine!" Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Brother Chu, walk slowly."

……

After leaving Zhaojiayu, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming led a guard squad and galloped all the way away from the Xinyi Regiment's defense zone before gradually slowing down.

Adjutant Sun Ming came to Chu Yunfei's side on horseback, and asked, "Tuan, is there really 5 people in this new group?"

Sun Ming was Chu Yunfei's bodyguard, and he also followed into the living room. Sun Ming heard everything Chu Yunfei was talking to Li Yunlong.

"I'm afraid this is true." Chu Yunfei sighed, "The new regiment probably has 5 people, and they are all U.S. weapons troops, equivalent to five U.S. weapons aces, and their combat effectiveness is also top-notch."

"The speed at which the Communist Party pulls the team." Sun Ming said with a look of shock, "It's simply too scary. Where can they get so much food?"

"Most of the food is also given by the aid channel behind Li Yunlong."

Chu Yunfei said: "Besides, I estimate that the more victories the Xinyi Regiment has won, the greater the assistance it will receive."

Although nominally, the Eighth Route Army still belongs to the battle order of the national army.

But in terms of supply, Generalissimo Chiang stuck the Eighth Route Army's neck, and at first gave back a little, but then cut off the food and pay directly.

After Li Yunlong obtained the aid channel, the new regiment took off directly, even taking the entire Eighth Route Army into flight.

It would be a lie to say that Chu Yunfei is not envious.

If the Boss Chen who helped Li Yunlong chose Chu Yunfei instead of Li Yunlong, maybe the current 358 regiment would also take off, and even fly with the entire Jinsui Army.

"Tuan Zuo, what do you think of what Captain Li said when we parted?" Sun Ming asked tentatively.

To be honest, Sun Ming was also tempted. On the way to the regiment headquarters from the Xinyi Regiment's defense area, soldiers from the Xinyi Regiment could be seen in basically every village.

These new regiments of soldiers have high morale and are well-trained. All kinds of light and heavy firepower are undisguisedly placed on the grain drying field, and their expressions and expressions are full of determination.

Compared with the 358th regiment, the morale and atmosphere of the new regiment was a world apart.

As a soldier, Sun Ming naturally prefers the morale and atmosphere of Xinyituan.

And along the way, Sun Ming encountered a lot of trucks on the road, and they were not devil trucks, but ten-wheel trucks.

This new regiment is really rich.

"What?" Chu Yunfei glanced at Sun Ming and saw what Sun Ming was thinking, "Adjutant Sun, do you want to vote for the Communist Party?"

Sun Ming said casually: "Where the group seat goes, the humble position will follow."

"Hurry up!"

Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes, and immediately lashed the horse's butt with the whip.

"drive!"

The sound of horseshoes rolled over, raising a puff of dust, and Chu Yunfei and his party quickly disappeared on the road.

……

New group.

regiment.

After Chu Yunfei left, Li Yunlong took out the map again and began to study and figure out how to make a fortune.

The current head of the 1st Division, Mitsuo Nakazawa, is very cautious about the new regiment. It may be a bit difficult to raid the 3st Division like the last raid on the 1rd Brigade.

Although the 1st Division is the fat duck on Xinyituan's lips.

But this fat duck is still raw, and if it is frightened, it may fly away at any time.

When the new regiment withdraws, the fat duck of the 1st Division will fly back to Datong again.

"Since the 1st Division is difficult to fight..."

Li Yunlong followed the map, looked at the Zhengtai Railway, his eyes lit up slightly:
"The 37th Division is stationed in Yangquan, and the 33rd Division is stationed in Shouyang."

"If the main force of the Xinyi Regiment pretends to go north to Datong to attack the 1st Division, it will actually go south quietly to stab the 37th and 33rd Divisions in the back."

"And the main force of the 129th Division in Southeast Shanxi also went north to cover the Xinyi Regiment and went north to Datong to attack the 1st Division. Together with the Xinyi Regiment, they formed a situation of encircling the 37th and 33rd Divisions."

"Between two breads, there is a chance to eat the 33rd and 37th Divisions of the Japanese Army in one bite."

The more Li Yunlong thought about it, the more excited he became, and a bold and immature battle plan quickly emerged in his mind. (end of this chapter)
