Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 130 Chu Yunfei goes fishing, Li Yunlong is caught as a black bass! (Subscribe)

"Brigade Commander...what does this Chu Yunfei...mean?"

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and asked, "He intends to make us do the dirty work, but it won't be in vain in the end, right?"

Brigade Commander Chen was silent.

Zhong Zhicheng touched his chin and said, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

"He is a fifth-term student of the Whampoa Military Academy. There are many fifth-term students of the Whampoa Military Academy in our team. It is normal for him to be influenced by him during school. Besides, Chu Yunfei himself comes from a poor family."

After Commander Chen finished speaking, he added: "Chu Yunfei is different from those people... He is a more pure soldier, and all his starting points seem to be just to kill the devils!"

"What about us?"

"Wait for headquarters to call back and see what they think..."

Brigade Commander Chen took Li Yunlong to stay at Chu Yunfei's base.

Zhong Zhicheng returned to the army.

If the three of them don't go back, Guan Dashan will probably get angry.

"There is still some time in the afternoon. You can go find them and observe their training and daily life. Perhaps you can learn a lot."

Li Yunlong nodded and put on a smiling face.
"Little brother, I want to see your commander. Which way should I go?"

"Sir, this way please. From this side, across the yard, you will reach the duty room..."

"Ok!"

Li Yunlong walked unsteadily in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

The soldiers of the guard company all carried automatic rifles.

Nearly new Thompson submachine gun.

Li Yunlong felt extremely hot.

I was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket and cloth shoes.
The winter in Shanxi is bitterly cold.

Sometimes you even need strong liquor to warm yourself up.

if
Hey!
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong sighed in his heart.

Take their New 1st Regiment for example, since they crossed the Yellow River to join the war of resistance against Japan.

He did not receive any supplies from the Second World War.
Not to mention weapons and ammunition.

There is no cotton-padded clothes, and many soldiers are still wearing straw sandals.
Even he, the head of the group.

I have been wearing this cotton coat for almost three years, and it is no longer able to keep out the wind and keep me warm.

envy!

I can’t express my envy!

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw cotton clothes being unloaded from the truck.
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward immediately: "Chief of Staff Fang..."

"Brother Yunlong"

Fang Ligong pushed up his glasses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This is?"

Fang Ligong chuckled: "I just received the supplies from the city's quartermaster warehouse. After the cotton clothes were distributed, there were still some left... so I simply brought them back to register for storage."

"Chief of Staff Fang, does each of your soldiers have a cotton coat?"

Fang Ligong asked as if it was natural, "How can we fight without cotton clothes?"

"If the soldiers were wearing only a single layer of clothing to kill the devils in such an environment, wouldn't it be easy for them to get sick?"

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Chief of Staff Fang...where is your Chief Chu?"

"In the duty room."

"Chief of Staff Cheng Nafang, you go ahead and get busy."

Seeing Li Yunlong leaving in a hurry, Fang Ligong pushed his glasses.

Aluminum seat is correct.

Sure enough, I took the bait.

The benefits that are visible to the naked eye are the most effective.

"Commander Chu"

Chu Yunfei threw the pencil in his hand on the map: "Brother Yunlong, is there something wrong?"

The two combat staff officers, Zhang Dayun and Sun Weimou, also turned around and looked at him.

"This is the first time I've seen such beautiful map work. When I was a guard for our division commander, I never saw the map work of those staff officers compare to yours, Commander Chu."

Ha ha!

Chu Yunfei smiled and said modestly: "Brother Yunlong, in Huangpu, these map assignments are just the basics."

Li Yunlong just looked at the map for a moment.

Then he saw Chu Yunfei's intention.

"Captain Chu, are you planning to attack the Japanese troops in the Handan direction?"

Chu Yunfei, Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother Yunlong is indeed extraordinary. He has guessed our army's strategic intentions based on this unfinished map. I admire you."

Hearing Chu Yunfei's praise.

Even Li Yunlong, who is thick-skinned, felt a little proud.

I guess there shouldn't be many people who can get Chu Yunfei's recognition, right?
"No, no, no. Although I can't read many words, I'm born with the ability to read maps. I learned a lot from following the commander back then."

Li Yunlong changed the subject: "Commander Chu, I see there are a bunch of unused cotton clothes outside?"

Chu Yunfei nodded and looked at Zhang Dayun.

Seeing Chu Yunfei looking at him with a smile.

Li Yunlong had to keep smiling to ease the embarrassment.
Zhang Dayun walked out quickly and turned back soon.

“There are 200 cotton clothes.”

"What does Brother Yunlong mean?"

Li Yunlong immediately entered the state: "Commander Chu, you also know that our Eighth Route Army is poor. Let alone guns, we don't even have many cotton clothes.
It's freezing cold, but we are still fighting the Japanese in your Shanxi territory. We, the New 1st Regiment, haven't received any equipment or supplies yet..."

Chu Yunfei laughed: "Brother Yunlong, you don't have a unit after all. How can the higher-ups provide you with supplies? The 771st and 772nd Regiments should have received a lot of guns, artillery and ammunition, right?"

"They are them, we are us, and the rest of us, Lao Li, have no right to interfere."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "Commander Chu, how about you give this batch of supplies to our New 1st Regiment? We can consider it as supporting our brother troops in the war of resistance!"

Chu Yunfei was also amused by Li Yunlong's shamelessness.

Two hundred cotton-padded clothes, given away at your leisure.

Do you think this cotton coat is cabbage?

Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun also smiled, looked at each other and held back their smiles.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, no problem.

It's not appropriate for them to laugh.

"Brother Yunlong, you are so bold to ask for two hundred cotton-padded clothes. If your new regiment does not have weapons and equipment, do I have to write a note for you to go to the armory to get equipment?"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "If you can really give it, Old Li is willing to accept it!"

It was just a tentative effort.

If you don’t give it, so what.

Li Yunlong himself and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army could not get along.

"Hahaha!"

Chu Yunfei smiled and nodded: "Zhang Dayun, go and inform Brother Ligong that this batch of cotton clothes will not be put into storage!"

"Over there, Commander Chu, at the arsenal."

"Two hundred cotton-padded clothes less or more would not prevent them from being shot. It doesn't matter if it's just a little bit, just put the blame on them."

"Yes!"

Although Li Yunlong didn't know what Chu Yunfei was talking about.

But he knew that the two hundred cotton coats were in his hands.

made money!

This is something that even the teacher can't solve.

He just came over and did it just by talking!

At this moment, Li Yunlong felt that he was even more awesome than his division commander!
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Brother Yunlong, you didn't come to me just for these two hundred cotton-padded clothes, did you?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "Your 358th is a unit directly under the theater, Commander Yan's trump card, and an elite unit. Our brigade commander saw that I was idle and wanted me to observe and learn... so he came to you, Commander Chu!"

"Observe?"

Chu Yunfei looked at the watch on his hand and immediately arranged: "Zhang Dayun, you accompany Brother Yunlong to the new infantry regiment. At this time, they should be training."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dayun put down the work in his hands: "Brother Yunlong, please!"

"please!"

After the two men left, Sun Weimou asked curiously, "Sir...are these Eighth Route Army troops really worth all your effort?"

"How about you do it?"

Sun Weimou chuckled and scratched his head: "Forget it. If something goes wrong, you will be fine, but we will be in trouble. Besides, Old Wu is the most suitable person to do this."

“I’m worried he won’t do a good job!”

Chu Yunfei glared at Sun Weimou and said, "If he can do things efficiently, would I let you be the chief of staff?"

"hey-hey!"

There was a cunning look in Sun Wemou's eyes.

Chu Yunfei also felt a little helpless.

This kid knows everything.

But I don't want to take any risk.

However, Sun Weimou did an excellent job in his job.

In contrast.

Zhuo Tianyu and Wu Ziqiang were naturally obedient.

But Zhuo Tianyu is too impatient and might make mistakes.

Wu Ziqiang's abilities are not that good yet.

This was also the reason why Sun Weimou was promoted to be the chief of staff and took the two of them to expand his territory.

On the way, Zhang Dayun took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over: "Captain Li."

"Oh, thanks for the cigarettes!"

Li Yunlong grinned. He was also a heavy smoker.

Cigarettes are very expensive in this day and age.

Even Zhang Dayun only smokes five or six packs a month, mainly for the purpose of staying alert.

The work of a staff officer is very exhausting during wartime.

"Hoo~!"

"Captain Li, how many people are there in your new regiment now?"

Li Yunlong scratched his head and said honestly: "There are about 300 combatants now, and a total of about 500 people..."

"It seems like there are more people than before?"

Li Yunlong nodded, his face showing sadness: "Yes, we recruited some new soldiers on the way. We sacrificed a lot of cadres, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese was much stronger than we expected."

“We also lost a lot of officers.

Zhao Cungang, who was particularly favored by the brigade commander, died in battle at Ruyuekou.

Wu Dabao from the old Third Battalion and he and the current commander of the new infantry regiment, Wu Ziqiang, are from the same clan.

He also died in battle at Falu Ridge.

Just the company commander, we changed back and forth..."

While lamenting how difficult it was to deal with the Japanese, the two men came to the training ground of the newly formed First Regiment.

Zhuo Tianyu, deputy commander of the newly formed infantry regiment, is personally training the new recruits in bayonet fighting.

"Do you usually attach great importance to assassination training?"

Zhang Dayun nodded: "Yes... before the war, shooting and squad infantry tactics accounted for the highest KPI score... but now bayonet has gone from 15 points to 30 points."

"What the hell? What is this?"

Li Yunlong scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"It's an exam, a test for officers. Our army has bonuses... The part other than military pay was previously allocated to officers by Commander Yan. Whoever trains the best soldiers can get more... It's about one month's salary."

Li Yunlong was shocked.

It’s even possible, you can get bonuses for being a soldier!

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters called back Brigade Commander Chen at 6:30 p.m. that day.

Chu Yunfei naturally also learned the news in advance.

"Brother Ligong, it seems that this matter has a high probability of success."

Two telegrams.

The first one was from the Second World War Commander's Headquarters.

He agreed to Chu Yunfei's proposal and has already contacted the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Regarding the appointment of the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army.

We are currently negotiating with Mr. Zhou and will notify you of the specific details later.

In the telegram.

Xie Ming also revealed that the matter that Chu Yunfei had previously responded to has now had some results.

It claimed that Commander Yan was preparing to uproot the corrupt bureaucrats in the Second War Zone this time.

Having said that, Chu Yunfei is not looking forward to it.

The second telegram was a copy from the confidential office staff.

From the 386th Brigade Headquarters.

After all, Brigade Commander Chen borrowed their radio and got in touch with the brigade headquarters.

The brigade then reported the problem to the headquarters through Division Commander Liu.

The content of the telegram was actually very simple.

It all comes down to eight words: agree in principle and find the right balance.

No problem collaborating!
Yes, but the specific details of the cooperation need to be discussed.

Early the next morning.

The two sides reunited in the conference room.

On the side of Brigade Commander Chen are Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng.

358 On this side are Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.

And Chu Yunfei's adjutant Sun Ming.

Sun Ming is mainly responsible for recording and gaining knowledge.

Chu Yunfei also intends to train him.

After all, he is a personal adjutant, equivalent to half a relative.

The discussion lasted almost the entire morning in the operations meeting room.

The specific details of the cooperation between the two parties have been basically finalized.

Reform the land and put it in the charge of their people.

Of course, this process is not so peaceful and there will inevitably be bloodshed.

The two families that were still hesitating saw that 358 had stopped making any moves.

This means that they are unwilling to continue the cooperation.

When a group of landlords and gentry unite together, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.

These landlords are not the rich peasants or middle peasants who have accumulated wealth from their ancestors.

They all have large-scale private armed forces.

Taking Changzhi area as an example, the landlord surnamed Zhou had more than twenty thugs kept in his home.

They are all martial artists, in this era when many people cannot get enough food.

These twenty people are enough to run rampant in the village.

Based on Sun Weimou's investigation.

This group of people even had guns obtained from the black market.

This is no longer an ordinary landlord, we need to strike hard!

Since you are ignorant and unwilling to cooperate.

Then there are only bullets.

Chu Yunfei is different from Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Laoxi (emphasis added!).

Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Lao-xi are the class with many concerns about ruling the country.
But Chu Yunfei didn't.

Behind him are only his brothers and his fellow villagers from Wutai.

Subjectively speaking, the Wutai folks have nothing to do with the landlords and gentry.

But objectively, there are still numerous nepotisms.
As for dealing with this group of people.

Although Chu Yunfei had no experience in negotiation and winning over.

But he still has a lot of experience in eradicating evil.

There are not many battle examples recorded in military history.

But there are examples of suppressing bandits and rebellions in Henan and in the southwest.

Chu Yunfei saw quite a lot.

In short, act quickly and strike hard.

You must never be soft-hearted.

The Red and Blue parties are facing erratic local armed forces.

Have suffered a lot of losses.

Both sides paid the price in blood.

This is a lesson, but fortunately Chu Yunfei doesn’t have to pay tuition.

For families like rich peasants and middle peasants.

Both parties decided to adopt the redemption method.

But we need to wait until everything calms down before taking action.

That night, Chu Yunfei provided the soldiers of the new regiment with the guns and ammunition needed for this operation.
To make sure everything goes smoothly...

Fang Ligong even took the initiative to propose that the new regiment be equipped with a small steel cannon (50mm grenade launcher), and suggested replacing the Jin-made Czech-style cannon with a Type rifle.

Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong with surprise.

He is worthy of being my chief of staff.

Coincidentally!

Then he nodded in agreement: "Then equip them with two small steel cannons, and give him 500 grenades..."

After saying this, Chu Yunfei turned his head and looked at Sun Ming beside him.

"Go and say hello to Song Ming. If there are any problems, bring up his heavy mortar battalion."

"Yes!"

That night
The soldiers put on new cotton-padded clothes, new cloth shoes and new guns.

They were respectively the regiment commander Li Yunlong and the political commissar Zhong Zhicheng (the time point was changed back).

Led by Battalion Commander Guan Dashan and two other men, they headed to the mission site.

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed.

The news of banditry in various places reached Chu Yunfei's ears.

Of the eight major landowners previously counted, none remains now.

Except for some women and children, the others survived.

Damn it, not a single person is left.

None of the people who shouldn't have died moved.

Chu Yunfei was naturally very satisfied.

It is efficient, saves time and effort.

He immediately waved his hand.

Two more grenade launchers were given to Li Yunlong.

In the duty room.

Chu Yunfei turned his head to look at Fang Ligong on the side and said, "Brother Ligong, my writing skills are not as good as yours. It would be more appropriate for you to draft this telegram for me."

"Don't worry, Brigade Commander, we're ready!"

When Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong made a contribution, the two smiled knowingly and cooperated more and more tacitly.

Second World War Commander Headquarters.

Xie Ming stood in front of Yan Laoxi's bedroom and handed the telegram in his hand to the guard at the door.

After a while.

After getting the consent, Xie Ming stepped into the room.

"Yufa..."

Under the desk lamp, Yan Laoxi was wearing a new pair of reading glasses, which made him look quite fashionable.

"Commander Yan"

"What do you think about this matter?"

Yan Laoxi gestured to Xie Ming and then asked.

"Commander Yan's banditry is probably fake, but Brother Yunfei's intention to reshuffle the cards is real."

After Xie Ming organized his words, he continued, "Brother Yunfei has three purposes for doing this."

"First, stabilize the local area and ensure the supply of food and wages."

"Second, he deliberately retaliated against the Quartermaster Department, Ordnance Department, and Military Supplies Department for withholding his things."

"Third, if Commander Yan or the Shancheng authorities investigate... Brother Yunfei will be safe and sound."

Yan Laoxi nodded.

He was also quite satisfied with Xie Ming.

Xie Ming and Chu Yunfei have a good personal relationship.

Old Yan was already prepared for Xie Minghui to speak up to defend him.

But, Xie Ming's performance.

This undoubtedly illustrates a problem.

Personal relationships are personal relationships, and good relationships are good relationships.

I, Xie Yufa, am considering the issue from Commander Yan’s perspective, not from Chu Yunfei’s perspective.

How could Yan Laoxi not be happy?
"Yes... I think so too. These people below are disorganized and corrupt."

"It's a good opportunity to sort things out. By the way, how is Xianming doing? Why didn't I see him today?"

The adjutant beside him immediately walked out of the office.

Xie Ming then analyzed Chu Yunfei's every move with Yan Laoxi.

Ten minutes later...the adjutant brought new news.

"Director Liu from Commander Yan's Quartermaster Department died in his bedroom... We found a suicide note on the bedside table..."

After taking a glance at the suicide note, Yan Laoxi became furious.

Snapped!
He slapped the table and his right hand started to swell up immediately.

Liu Xianming has been with him for more than ten years.

He has always been famous for his integrity and frugality.

He is a subordinate whom he trusts immensely, and is extremely efficient and capable at work.

Of course, Yan Laoxi recognized his handwriting.

But at first glance, the suicide note in front of him did seem to be written by Liu Xianming.

Because the handwriting is so similar..
Therefore.

Only then did Yan Laoxi find the flaw.

There were many errors in the report Liu Xianming submitted to Yan Laoxi.

Even direct smearing.

There are so many things to do in the Quartermaster Department that many times they are not completed at all.

After a long time, it naturally becomes a writing habit.

For typos, just scribble on them twice and then write a new one.

And such a suicide note consists of several hundred words.

Not a single word was written wrong. This is not his level.

Yan Laoxi thought he knew the whole of Shanxi very well.

It had established its own intelligence organization in the 20th year of the Republic of China.

(This organization was established to maintain its own rule, mainly against the Red Party.)
(The son of the main person in charge, Yang Zhenji, is a member of the Red Party..)

(Many of Yan Laoxi’s fellow villagers and friends from Wutai have sons who are members of the underground party)

His eyes were everywhere in the entire Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters and even the entire Shanxi Pacification Office.

however.

Right under his nose.

Yet such a shocking thing happened.

The investigation has just begun to make some progress.

Today he also asked Xie Ming to send a telegram to Chu Yunfei, saying that there was progress.

At night, a director of the Quartermaster Department died at home
Yan Laoxi at this time.

There was no time to worry about what little tricks Chu Yunfei was doing.

What happened in southeastern Shanxi.

In the end, it was his connivance in deliberate revenge.

Even though there really was a bandit problem, Old Man Yan didn't want to ask about it or care about it.

just now.

Yan Laoxi will focus all his energy on internal anti-corruption and self-inspection.

The first people he thought of were Xie Ming and Xie Yufa in front of him.

"Go find Zhenji, ask him to come back and find out the truth about this matter..."

Yang Zhenji is the spy chief under Yan Laoxi.

Seeing that Yan Laoxi was serious about it, Xie Ming couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If we really investigate thoroughly, there will be fish that slip through the net even if we execute every one of them.
There is even a high possibility that he himself will be implicated.

He immediately spoke up and said, "Commander Yan, after all, we have just evacuated from Taiyuan. If we conduct a large-scale internal investigation at this time, people's hearts are likely to be uneasy."

Yan Laoxi frowned slightly and sighed: "But if I don't investigate it carefully...how can I give everyone an explanation!"

"Commander Yan, how about this? You can leave this matter to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, and also give Brother Yunfei and everyone a satisfactory explanation. What do you think?"
