Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

"Political commissar, what about us?" Luo Yuanfan finally couldn't help but speak. A united front does not mean blindly giving in. It means showing strength to control the situation when necessary.

"We?" Political Commissar Cheng picked up a telegram and pushed it in front of Luo Yuanfan: "This is the combat order just sent from the brigade headquarters and issued by the division headquarters."

"Are you going to fight back?" Hu Sheng grabbed the telegram and started reading it. But soon he threw the telegram on the table.

Luo Yuanfan picked up the telegram and started reading it as well. But after just reading a few sentences, he understood why Hu Sheng threw the telegram.

"The division headquarters decided to break the Japanese blockade of Tainan and Taibei, and launched an attack on Handang Avenue with the main force of the division and the first unit of the Shanxi-Hebei-Henan Military Region. The 769th Regiment and the Special Agent Regiment served as the main force in this battle."

The political commissar looked at Hu Sheng: "At present, the priority is still to fight the Japanese. The superiors on the stubborn army will give priority to negotiations. Don't turn the gun unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course, you still have to fight back if someone hits you on the head."

"But……"

"I know you are uncomfortable. Compared with the devil, the beast who stabs you in the back is more hateful. But now is not the time for us to take action. Please be patient for now."

Hu Sheng opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He just took a few steps and stood next to Li Yunlong, looking at the map on the wall as well.

"Captain, you've been looking at the map here for a long time. Have you gotten anything out of it?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Hu Sheng, then grinned, and while opening a box of matches and lighting a cigarette, he educated Hu Sheng: "Are you in a hurry now? The chief of staff is unqualified."

"I admit that I am a little impatient, but now that my superiors don't give me combat missions, what can I do?"

"How about you say that your chief of staff is unqualified? Your superiors didn't assign combat tasks, so you just waited?" Li Yunlong reached out and patted Hu Sheng on the head: "You are stupid enough. The document allows you to use your subjective initiative. You Is the command power in your hand good for you?"

"Remember, your superiors have not assigned you a combat mission. They are allowing you to move freely as long as the situation does not worsen! Otherwise, why would I call you here?"

Hu Sheng's eyes lit up.

Li Yunlong turned his attention to the map again: "The Japs in Yushe have not made any move so far. That bastard Heiteng was scared by me, and he is still building a bunker. Attacking Yushe is a loss-making business, and we won't suffer this loss. There’s nothing you can do here.”

"That means the only one we can move is Chu Yunfei." Hu Sheng reacted.

"Yes, only if Chu Yunfei is stabilized will the brigade commander consider dedicating manpower from our regiment to support other defense areas. Otherwise, we will just drink some soup if we are exhausted this time."

Li Yunlong said, pointing on the map: "Your second battalion should no longer be in Zhangzhuang. Go west and stick it to the edge of Qin County. The situation is tense now. Chu Yunfei will definitely send someone to ask if you move." When they arrive, invite Commander Chu for a battalion-level cooperation exercise."

"Cooperative exercise?"

Li Yunlong patted Hu Sheng's head again: "We and Chu Yunfei are nominally friendly forces. Do you still want to raid his regiment headquarters?"

"The goal of this drill is to show our strength and suppress Chu Yunfei! During the drill, don't care about the consumption of materials, don't care about waste, just tell me what you want. I will send the transportation team of the regiment headquarters All the newly formed artillery batteries will be transferred to you. "I will also go to meet Chu Yunfei. You should ask the company instructors and squad leaders to be more careful during the drill. Get it out if you can. I want any information. It’s best to know how much Chu Yunfei eats and what color pants he wears during the day!”

Political Commissar Cheng patted Li Yunlong's shoulder lightly: "Old Li, that's too much. Don't ask about your underwear."

Cheng Yuechang's serious look made Zhang Dabiao and others on the side laugh uncontrollably.

"Captain, what do you think of this location? This place is located in the west of the city. It is flat from east to west and is the main transportation hub of Qin County, Wuxiang. There are ravines to the north and south, making it easy to deploy defenses and blockades."

Hu Sheng pointed at the map, and a place name appeared in front of everyone - Niecun.

……

December 10, Qin County 358th Regiment Headquarters.

"Regiment seat, Battalion Commander Qian has sent back the message." Fang Ligong opened the door of the regiment headquarters.

Chu Yunfei put the Browning pocket pistol in his hand on the table together with the gun cleaning cloth, and looked up at Fang Ligong who entered the door.

"It has been confirmed that the second battalion of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was stationed in Niecun the day before yesterday. Battalion Commander Qian sent someone to inquire and learned that the other party planned to hold a joint exercise with us. The scale is one battalion and the location is to the west of Niecun. Near Songcun Town. The time is scheduled to start on the 12th." After Fang Ligong reported, he handed the document in his hand to Chu Yunfei and added: "Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment, will also participate."

"Joint exercise? It's interesting. What kind of joint exercise is being conducted at this juncture? It's obvious that he wants to clarify my position." Chu Yunfei glanced at Fang Ligong meaningfully: "Adjutant Sun, pass my order. Let Qian Bojun take the lead. I will carry his battalion to Songcun Town. His battalion has more than 1,300 people and is the most well-equipped. Compared with the battalion of the New Regiment, it will never lose face. "

"Yes!"

Sun Ming strode out of the regiment headquarters. Chu Yunfei looked away from Fang Ligong, "the most familiar outsider in the 358th Regiment", and looked at the map on the wall to confirm again that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement.

Qian Bojun was an old man who had been with him for some years. He had shared the joys and sorrows and worked his way up from the bottom. Whether it was his ability or his loyalty, Chu Yunfei could rest assured. It was precisely because of this that Chu Yunfei packed all the best soldiers and equipment into one battalion.

Of course, this means that Chu Yunfei doesn't know what this guy did in the original work. Otherwise, with his Chu Fengxian temperament, he would come to visit him in Czech style now.

Compared with a few months ago, Qian Bojun's battalion can be said to be stronger now: in terms of numbers, his battalion can rival a regiment of the Eighth Route Army; in terms of equipment, each man has one rifle, and each person has at least 100 rounds of ammunition and machine guns. Grenades spread to platoons. Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even in the Jinsui Army, the level of equipment is above the average.

Although the Xinyi Regiment is the richest in the Eight Route Army, with the current size of the First Battalion, it must be possible to suppress the situation.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei finally nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Ligong, please come with me to Songcun Town to meet Li Yunlong in two days."

Fang Ligong nodded, he knew what Chu Yunfei meant. The 358th Regiment basically brought together all the pro-communist elements in the old army. Chu Yunfei did not dare to place a chief of staff like him at the regiment headquarters, so he had to take him with him to feel at ease.

Seeing that Fang Ligong was willing to compromise, Chu Yunfei put down the last worry in his heart and looked at the document in his hand. (End of chapter)
