Back at the regiment headquarters of the 355th regiment, Chu Tianming warmly entertained Zhang Yunfei and his party. Because Zhang Yunfei and others had been marching for several days in a row, sleeping in the open every day, it was rare for them to relax, so they had a good meal at the regiment headquarters of the 355th regiment. , I slept soundly at night.

Early the next morning, Chu Tianming took Zhang Yunfei and his party to the headquarters of the Jinsui Army.

Everyone hurried all the way, because under the leadership of Chu Tianming, they were familiar with the road, and the journey went smoothly, and they arrived at the headquarters of the Jinsui Army at noon. [

After Taiyuan fell, Yan Xishan first retreated to Linfen, and then retreated to Damaijiao.Taiyuan was lost, all industrial enterprises were lost, and the troops were almost wiped out. Under the attack of the Japanese army Ling Li, all the subordinates fled in all directions, and their whereabouts were unknown.All the friendly forces took preserving their strength as their top priority, and they fled without a trace. The great rivers and mountains in Shanxi were about to fall into the hands of the enemy.

At this time, Yan Xishan was in a very depressed mood, and life was very difficult. The Jinsui army lived in the southwestern corner of Shanxi, with a narrow territory, a small population, and a poor economy. Lack of equipment and weapons and ammunition.

The reason why Zhang Yunfei chose Yan Xishan was mainly because of two things about Yan Xishan.The first point is that Yan Xishan, as the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, still has a certain appeal. As the commander-in-chief of the second war zone, he mobilized all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi to carry out military operations against the little devils. Everyone will respond more or less call.

The second point is that the Jinsui army currently lacks ammunition. As long as Zhang Yunfei gives a certain amount of ammunition, Yan Laoxi, who has a deep hatred for the little devil, will definitely fight the little devil.

The former king of Shanxi had hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and also owned the Taiyuan Arsenal, which could continuously produce weapons and ammunition. His life was very comfortable and nourishing, but in the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan, hundreds of thousands of troops They were scattered, and they didn't even have time to transfer the Taiyuan Arsenal, and now life is difficult. It is conceivable how deep Yan Laoxi's hatred for the little devil is.

Yesterday, I received a call from Chu Tianming of the 355th Regiment, saying that Zhang Yunfei, the commander of the 136th Division of the Eighth Route Army, had come to visit in person. Bring Zhang Yunfei to the headquarters.

Originally, Yan Xishan wanted to go to greet him in person, but thinking about himself as the commanding officer of the second war zone, a first-rank general, it would be a bit inappropriate to greet a division commander of the Eighth Route Army.

So Yan Xishan waited in the office early in the morning, waiting for Zhang Yunfei's arrival.Anxious Yan Xishan waited until almost noon before the adjutant came to report that Zhang Yunfei and his party had arrived at the headquarters.

Overjoyed, Yan Xishan hurriedly said to the adjutant: "Please hurry up." After speaking, he arranged his neat general uniform before putting on a majestic appearance and sitting on the main seat in the reception hall. Waiting for Zhang Yunfei's arrival.

Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the adjutant brought a handsome young man into the reception hall. Yan Xishan guessed that this person must be the rumored Zhang Yunfei, so he immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "But Yunfei Brother? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing Yan Xishan's initiative and enthusiasm, Zhang Yunfei was a little flattered, and hurriedly said modestly: "This is Zhang Yunfei, who has admired Commander Yan's reputation for a long time. Seeing you today is really a blessing for Yunfei."

The two exchanged polite greetings, and then sat down as the guest of honor. The clever guards quickly served fragrant hot tea. Zhang Yunfei picked up the teacup, blown away the tea leaves, took a sip, and exclaimed in his heart, "It's really good." Tea.

Seeing that Zhang Yunfei had been politely chatting for so long, he didn't want to waste time talking nonsense, so he went straight to the topic and said, "Mr. Yan, I'm here this time to discuss something important."

"Oh, brother, don't beat around the bush, just talk about it if you have anything to say."

Zhang Yunfei then straightened his posture and said sternly: "At present, the little devil is rampant in Shanxi, and most of Shanxi has fallen into the enemy's hands. As a Chinese with a little blood, I am very sad, so my brother organized Armed with tens of thousands of people, I have fought a few small victories recently, but it is still difficult for me to drive the little devil out of Shanxi with my own strength.

So this time, the younger brother made a special trip to visit Chief Yan, because he wanted to cooperate with your army, and together we will drive the little devil out of Shanxi and restore the whole of Shanxi. "

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yunfei wanted to play such a big game of chess. Yan Xishan didn't answer for a moment, but thought carefully for a long time before saying: "This proposal, my brother, is very good, but you also know that our current situation is not very good, maybe There is a limit to what you can do.”

Hearing Yan Xishan's answer, Zhang Yunfei knew that Yan Xishan was looking for benefits. Zhang Yunfei had investigated the veterans of the Jinsui Army before. At present, the Jinsui Army has nearly [-] soldiers. Although there is no supply of weapons and ammunition, the inventory should be still there Some, there are still drops of wealth to fight a local war.

This Yan Laoxi is also a guy who has no profit and can't afford it early. He just wants weapons and ammunition, land, etc. Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei has a bottom line in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Yan has a hundred thousand soldiers , and the Central Army in Shanxi was also dispatched by Commander Yan to beat the little devil, and the little devil was not beaten to death." [

Zhang Yunfei flattered Yan Laoxi at first, and then continued: "Our 136th Division is in charge of the main attack of this battle, and your army is responsible for sending troops northward, pretending to attack Taiyuan, and then cutting off Zhengtai Road to prevent reinforcements from the Japanese army in Hebei.

After the victory in the battle, all the Japanese weapons captured by our 136th Division will not be shot or fired, they will all belong to your army, and in the future, south of Taiyuan, most of Shanxi will be under the control of your army. "

Hearing Zhang Yunfei's suggestion, Yan Xishan was very happy in his heart, but the expression on his face was not very obvious. According to Zhang Yunfei, he only needed to send troops to feign an attack and cut off the reinforcements of the Japanese army. To chew, and after victory, most of the equipment of tens of thousands of little devils can be owned by themselves.

More importantly, from now on, he can control most of Shanxi, which is much better than nesting in this small southwestern Shanxi. Although Taiyuan belongs to Zhang Yunfei, Yan Laoxi is already content.

Thinking of this, Yan Xishan controlled the joy in his heart and said: "If this is the case, then I have taken too much advantage of being an officer."

After hearing Yan Xishan's words, Zhang Yunfei knew that Yan Laoxi still didn't believe in himself, and felt that there was nothing good in the world, so in order to give Yan Xishan a reassurance, Zhang Yunfei said: "We are just saying what we say, which seems empty. There is no certificate, we still draw up a contract, and there will be a certificate in the future, and no one should go back on their word."

What Zhang Yunfei said was exactly what Yan Xishan wanted, so Yan Xishan quickly ordered his adjutant to draft a contract, and after a while a detailed contract was written. daimyo.

Seeing that the business has been completed, Yan Xishan was very happy. At noon, he personally entertained Zhang Yunfei in his official residence.
