Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 192: A large number of junior officers are promoted, the current status of Chu Yunfei's basic development! (Subscribe)
"Sir, a telegram from Wuhan."

He took the telegram handed over by Fang Ligong.

Chu Yunfei read it carefully.

To sum it up simply, there are three points.

1. Weapons and equipment must wait, and the troops will reorganize themselves. The Military Commission will not interfere. The position adjustment has been approved, and those who have not made special military contributions cannot be promoted on an exceptional basis.

2. The number of staff under Chu Yunfei's command is limited to 2.5. If there is an overstaffing, the troops will need to raise military pay on their own.

3. The Chairman had approved in principle the money Chu Yunfei requested in the telegram, but he doesn’t have that much money now, so he will give him one million first.

Not only is the autonomy of personnel appointments firmly in their own hands.

Even though he now has ten regiments under his command.

Chiang Kai-shek also let him do what he wanted.

But the number cannot exceed 25,000.

If the number of people exceeds this, you will have to find a way to raise the money yourself.

Chu Yunfei does not hold any local position now, and Southeast Shanxi is just starting out, so naturally he cannot provide much support.

But then again, even if we count the wounded soldiers who are still recuperating in southeastern Shanxi.

And the additional troops that have not yet arrived at the Xuzhou front.

The combat and non-combat forces of Chu Yunfei's troops did not exceed 20,000.

Thinking about money now is actually a bit far-fetched.

Chu Yunfei put down the telegram in his hand and then ordered: "Since the Japanese army has stopped attacking, we should take this opportunity to call the group-level and direct team commanders to a meeting in Hanzhuang tonight. Take this opportunity to quickly complete the reorganization and not affect the subsequent battle."

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong turned and walked towards the phone.

"Brother Ligong, summer is coming soon, and new uniforms need to be distributed in advance. We can't wait until summer to fight in cotton clothes. Send a telegram to the Second War Zone Commander in my name. This uniform is more comfortable to wear in its original state."

Fang Ligong nodded silently: "Yes, I will go to the confidential room to arrange it now."

"Sun Ming, come and call and inform them."

"it is good."

Chu Yunfei seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then ordered: "Brother Ligong, send another telegram to Sun Wemou to inquire about the progress of spring ploughing."

After Fang Ligong left.

Sun Ming also finished making the notification call.

Soon he came up to Chu Yunfei and said, "I heard from Captain Wu that the boy named Chen Zejun has performed very well in the past few battles. Old Wu is going to promote him to be the company commander of the main force company."

"Oh, is this kid growing up so fast?"

"Well, after all, he graduated from a military academy, and he's quite rich. He's generous to his brothers, and they're willing to go through life and death with him."

Chu Yunfei smiled and nodded, regarding the ability to use money.

Not only does he not criticize, but he actually encourages such things.

Speaking of which, all the soldiers and officers under Chu Yunfei knew that killing the Japanese was not for the so-called reward.

But to defend our country!

But Chu Yunfei always believed.

If you kill the enemy, you should be rewarded.

If you don't have that condition, forget it.

When conditions permit, we must never treat our brothers unfairly.

"Reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. Don't worry about his identity and background. This kid volunteered to be transferred to serve under me, so his connections in Shancheng will be useless."

"Yes."

Sun Ming grinned and continued, "And I heard that there are several prisoners from the prisoner-of-war camp who performed very well this time."

Chu Yunfei also became interested at this time. He had always been concerned about this group of people: "Tell me, who are they?"

He leaned back slightly.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at Sun Ming with a little expectation.

Sun Ming quickly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Chu Yunfei, and introduced with a smile:
"There is an old platoon leader named Sun Anmin, who has rich combat experience. In this pursuit and annihilation battle, he led his soldiers to kill more than a dozen Japanese soldiers and seized two grenade launchers. Commander Wu is going to promote him to company commander."

"I heard that Sun Anmin is very smart in fighting and is a veteran. When he was in the prisoner-of-war camp, he was the one who asked the prisoners not to make any noise... He said he was afraid that the Japanese would notice them and kill them first."

This is a smart man.

Chu Yunfei likes such smart people.

He smiled and asked, "Have you checked your identity? Which unit did you belong to?"

Sun Ming nodded: "He was from the Ninth Army before, he was brave in battle, and he is also from Zhejiang."

"Have you ever received military school education before?"

"without"

"Zhang Dayun."

Zhang Dayun quickly picked up the cigarette in his mouth and said loudly: "Yes!"

"Put Sun Anmin's name in the second batch of officers' training class."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Zhang Dayun still had a cigarette in his hand, Chu Yunfei ordered: "Go back to sleep. If you keep going like this, your body won't be able to hold on any longer."

Zhang Dayun scratched his head: "I haven't finished this situation map yet..."

"There's nothing to analyze. No one actually knows how many friendly troops we have."

"Yes!"

Originally, Fang Ligong had a subordinate named Sun Wemou who could share the work.

Now only Zhang Dayun is left.

Sun Ming and Gong Yuxin are not even mediocre now and can only follow and learn.

Fang Ligong often had to do things and run errands for Chu Yunfei.

Zhang Dayun took on a lot of work alone.

Originally, the position of deputy chief of staff was intended to be reserved for Sun Weimou.

But Chu Yunfei now has other plans.

Sun Ming then went on to introduce: "Speaking of which, Sun Anmin's partner is a deputy platoon leader named Wei Dayong. This guy is not simple either. I heard that he is a monk from Shaolin Temple and has very good skills.

When I heard about this, I wanted to fight him a few times.”

Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, "A Shaolin monk, even if he has been a martial arts monk for ten years, is no match for you. Isn't this a bit of bullying?"

There is no need to mention Sun Ming's skills. During his time in the 358th Regiment, he was the undisputed number one.

"Within fifty moves, we are evenly matched. Beyond fifty moves, it is no longer a competition."

Sun Ming emphasized seriously: "Wei Dayong is a martial artist, tall and strong, with very good leg skills. I almost suffered a great loss."

Beyond fifty moves.

That means life or death.

Both of them are revolutionary comrades and brothers in the same trench, so it is natural that they would not do that.

"It seems that it is indeed not simple. You have been practicing Eagle Claw for fifteen years, right?"

“It’s been a bit slack in recent years.”

Chu Yunfei sighed, feeling it was a pity: "The war is tense now, and there is no chance to hold a military competition or something like that. Otherwise, it would be convenient to select some special talents and form some unconventional troops."

"Yes. But Captain Xue doesn't know about this yet. I wonder what will happen when this fake monk meets the real monk."

Chu Yunfei laughed: "I remember it was Xue Jie who led the team to rescue him."

Sun Ming sat on a bench nearby and said, "How about transferring him to your side as a guard? This guy is not only good at fighting, but also has good marksmanship. He was previously a sergeant squad leader in the 27th Division of the Central Army, so he has a keen eye."

"It's a good opportunity for Xiao Li to go to the grassroots and be a squad leader to gain some experience?"

"Xiao Li just turned nineteen this year?" Chu Yunfei touched his chin and asked, "Did he bring it up to you?"

"No." Sun Ming said, "I saw that he has been following you since he was seventeen years old. In the blink of an eye, he has been a guard for two years. Xiao Li himself wants to continue to be your guard."

"Nineteen is the right age to make a breakthrough. Transfer him to the supplementary regiment as a deputy squad leader to learn how to train soldiers."

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally continued: "As for Wei Dayong, go ask him. If he is willing, let him come over."

"If he doesn't want to, let him stay in the new infantry regiment and work hard. He will have a bright future."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei had a deep impression of the role of the monk.

I have a lot of problems.

But he was brave and good at fighting, and his marksmanship was also excellent.

Especially after he gained Li Yunlong's appreciation, he killed a Japanese major general with a spear when they were encircling and annihilating the observation group.

The Xinzhuang counter-mopping-up operation saved Li Yunlong's life.

When the monk died, I don't know how many viewers shed tears.

It has been more than three years since I came into this world.

Chu Yunfei has always had complicated emotions towards these familiar characters before he traveled through time.

Raid on a prisoner-of-war camp.

On the one hand, we do need some officers and veterans to join the team.

on the other hand.

I was also curious whether Wei Dayong was in the prisoner-of-war camp.

Chu Yunfei now wants to change the fate of some ordinary characters in the story.

It can be done in just one sentence, and making up for regrets is an easy thing.

Newly formed infantry regiment, third battalion headquarters.

Wu Ziqiang looked at Sun Anmin and Wei Dayong in front of him with great admiration.

"To be honest, I was under a lot of pressure to promote you to the commander of the Eighth Company. I'm sure you have heard of the rules of our army.

There was only a half-level promotion, not a full-level promotion, and the additional officers were basically demoted by half a level.

Your Third Battalion Commander Zhou Kai was previously the battalion commander of the newly formed Third Infantry Regiment, and was promoted to a regular commander after making military achievements."

Sun Anmin saluted and said, "Thank you for your training, Commander. I, Sun Anmin, will do my best to lead this team."

Just as Wu Ziqiang looked at Wei Dayong, who was grinning, and was about to say something.

Sun Ming hurried to the headquarters of the third battalion: "Captain Wu"

"Sun Ming?"

Wu Ziqiang grinned: "What's the matter, is there something wrong?"

Sun Ming also grinned: "It's about Wei Dayong"

"Want to be transferred to Chief Chu?" "We also need to ask Wei Dayong's opinion..."

Sun Ming turned his head and looked at Wei Dayong on the side: "Commander Chu's guard Xiao Li has been transferred to the supplementary regiment, and he is still short of a guard. I just happened to recommend you to him...Commander Chu wants to hear your opinion and ask if you are willing to be his guard."

Wei Dayong was shocked: "Is it Chu Yunfei, Commander Chu?"

"Yes."

"I am willing. I am willing a hundred times." Wei Dayong seemed to feel that he had expressed his emotions a little too much: "I am really sorry, Captain Wu. After hearing Commander Chu's story... I sincerely admire him."

Wu Ziqiang didn't care: "Boy, no matter where you work, you are making contributions, and no matter where you work, you are killing devils."

"It seems I have to find you a new assistant..."

Sun Anmin looked at Wei Dayong with envy.

The reason why he caught Chu Yunfei’s eye was probably because of Sun Ming’s recommendation.

If only he could have such an opportunity.

Forget it, it would be nice to be a company commander in a newly formed infantry regiment.

Sun Anmin also found out clearly.

The relationship between the commander of the new infantry regiment, Wu Ziqiang, and Chu Yunfei is also very close.

It is also a legitimate and direct-line troop.

There is not much difference. In Sun Anmin's opinion, as long as he doesn't go to 197B, there is a vast world and great opportunities!
"Pack up and report with me later... Also, Captain Wu, Commander Chu hopes you can arrive earlier for the meeting."

"Okay, I get it!"

Shanxi.

Changzhi, former base of 358B.

Sun Weimou glanced at the telegram in his hand.

It's spring ploughing time again.

At this stage, Sun Weimou has basically devoted all his energy to the development and construction of Changzhi area.

His old man’s Sun Business.

All the money and grain were basically taken away.

In order to develop water conservancy projects in Changzhi area, Sun Weimou even used the name of military defense.

A special fund of two million was obtained from the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters.

The money was nominally used to repair fortifications, but in reality it was used to build a dam.

According to Sun Weimou's idea, if the attack could not be carried out, some shooting holes could be left inside the dam, leaving some passages for transporting troops.

After all, it is a qualified defensive fortification.

The largest river in Changzhi area is the Zhuozhang River.

It has many branches and most of the river channels have been in disrepair for many years.

Drought often occurs in southeastern Shanxi.

In addition to water shortages, rivers occasionally flood.

To ensure food harvest.

Sun Weimou consulted relevant agricultural experts.

On the basis of Chu Yunfei's request to reclaim wasteland, an additional water conservancy project was also added.

Developing water conservancy projects and reclaiming wasteland are the top priorities in southeastern Shanxi.

Water conservancy projects are extremely costly and require a large number of workers.

Even if it is a special fund of two million.

Most likely it won’t be enough.

Fortunately, this matter has received the full support of Yan Laoxi, and food will also be provided by the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone.

In addition, Yan Laoxi sent someone to personally invite relevant water conservancy experts from the mountain city.

Formulate plans to ensure proper repair of dams and irrigation canals.

Large projects require large amounts of lime and stone.

Changzhi itself is located in the Shangdang Plain area, with fewer mountains and rocks but more coal mines.

According to the situation of coal mines in Changzhi area being sold to various places.

After a brief discussion, Sun Weimou and Zhuo Tianyu immediately formulated relevant policies.

A truckload of rocks was transported here from other counties and regions.

After being delivered to the corresponding construction site.

You can rely on the approval slip.

Go to the designated coal mine to exchange for a cart of coal.

Although rock is difficult to mine.

But after all, there are local garrisons to help.

The explosives were provided by Chu Yunfei's garrison troops.

Aside from transportation, everything is assisted by a dedicated person.

Not only businessmen but also ordinary people have gained real convenience.

The construction of the dam also received strong support from local people.

This is just one of the livelihood construction projects, and its purpose is simply to improve local food production capacity.

Wait until southeastern Shanxi gets on the right track and productivity improves.

Naturally, other projects will be launched accordingly.

Sun Weimou was not idle during the past month and a half. He coordinated the corresponding water conservancy and land reclamation work.

He used the names of Chu Yunfei and Yan Laoxi.

A Federation of Industry and Commerce was established locally.

He himself serves as the office director.

Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei serve as honorary president and vice president respectively.

It brought together all the medium and large businessmen in the entire Shangdang area.

Many things will be discussed together.

Sun Weimou formulates different types of support policies for different types of enterprises.

As for enterprises whose production capacity has completely overflowed or even become completely useless, they will be resolutely banned.

Although some people are reluctant, under the policy of both stick and carrot.

If you are really stubborn, you can only think about it carefully in your next life.

Sun Weimou, who was born into a merchant family, received higher education and attended military school, grew up perfectly to become a "local official."

Although he did not hold any official position, no one dared not to take his words to heart.

After all, it’s the weekly newspaper published by Changzhi Newspaper.

But it clearly states the victory that Chu Yunfei's troops won in the Xuzhou area.

Businessmen are profit-driven, but most of them are also snobs.

It is obvious that Chu Yunfei will rise rapidly in the future... and may even become the next Yan Laoxi.

under these circumstances.

Sun Weimou is Chu Yunfei’s current spokesperson in the southeastern Shanxi region.

It is the best person to curry favor with.

This group of businessmen are not only willing to support the corresponding work out of their own pockets, but also fully cooperate with the relevant land reform policies.

For these smart people who are willing to cooperate and support the war of resistance.

The current policy in southeastern Shanxi is also to adopt a peaceful redemption approach.

He who tills the land owns it. This is everyone's vision.

Not only the Red Party, but also Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xi Jinping hoped to achieve this.

It's just that they can't do it, and Chu Yunfei can only carry out preliminary reforms in the southeastern Shanxi region where the people's hearts and military morale are stable.

After the Eighth Route Army moved its headquarters to the Taihang Mountains.

With the permission of Mr. Yan, we also carried out corresponding work such as rent reduction and interest reduction.

But the nature of its troops is slightly different.

The work is not progressing as smoothly as in Shangdang area.

But no matter what.

It is also a fact that people's lives are getting better and better throughout the southeastern Shanxi region.

Take the spring farming work, for example, which Chu Yunfei is very concerned about this time.

Thanks to the strenuous publicity work of Sun Weimou, Zhuo Tianyu and the Eighth Route Army.

Almost all the people in the southeastern part of Shanxi were mobilized.

Not only does each household receive a subsidy of five cents a day, but there is no so-called rent for planting on the reclaimed land.

Although it still belongs to the state, it can be cultivated freely.

They are only needed to support the troops in fighting the Japanese when necessary.

It is equivalent to the wartime surplus grain collection system.

But everyone also knows that this war cannot go on forever.

There has to be a winner.

As long as we defeat the Japanese.

Aren’t these newly reclaimed lands theirs?
Can be imagined.

Under Sun Weimou’s relevant policies and the work of the relevant garrisons.

How much support does the entire southeastern Shanxi region have for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?

How much support and advocacy there is for the garrison troops in various places..
In just about a month, the amount of newly opened arable land has exceeded 1,500 acres.

According to the spring plowing time, they still have at least half a month.

The spring farming period in Shanxi Province is generally from mid-to-late March to late April, a full month.

We are basically still cultivating the previous land, and the number will inevitably surge in the second half of the month.

Not only Changzhi area can complete the plan of adding 5,000 acres.

The entire Shangdang area may even have an additional 13,000 acres of arable land.

It provides strong guarantee for the increase in grain production in the second half of the year.

Chu Yunfei was very pleased when he saw Sun Weimou's call back. If he continued to develop at this rate, the base of Southeast Shanxi would be his strong backing.
Thanks to the brothers for the monthly tickets, it’s almost two thousand, let’s go brothers!
