Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 24 I, Li Yunlong, will not do such things that will cause trouble to others

"Please inform Commander Li and Commander Zhong that the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army has arrived at the ferry, and the people who are here to pick you up are here!"

The young soldier nodded, and immediately ran to the regiment headquarters to report to the two people who were chatting.

"Look at this blind man Cheng. According to the river crossing plan, they should have arrived yesterday. Damn, they were delayed for so long."

Zhong Zhicheng laughed and joked, "I think you, Old Li, didn't become the head of the 772nd Regiment, so you're complaining like this, right?"

"How is Blind Cheng better than me? I was the one who taught him how to shoot a gun. How can this kid compare to me?"

While listening to Li Yunlong's complaints, Zhong Zhicheng ordered the communicator to blow the emergency assembly call.

Gather the troops.

It is normal for Mr. Li to feel resentful.

He originally had the opportunity to serve as the head of the regiment, but his superiors used the excuse that he had disobeyed orders several times before.

His request to serve as the head of the regiment was rejected. Instead, fifty core members and more than two hundred new recruits were selected to form a new regiment.

Although it is nominally the main force regiment, it is lacking in both manpower and equipment.

Compared to 772, it is a world of difference.

The 772nd Regiment is the main force of the 386th Brigade and is a regiment.

Not only does it have a strength of 129 people, but it is also the only unit among the four regiments in the th Division that is equipped with mortars.

This was a relatively full infantry regiment at the time.

In addition to the regiment's direct teams, each battalion has 4 infantry companies and 1 machine gun company.

Each infantry company is equipped with an average of three light machine guns, while the battalion machine gun company is equipped with three heavy machine guns.

Compared with the New 1st Regiment led by Li Yunlong now, it is simply rich.

They had a total of two Czech-style guns in their entire new regiment, and the ammunition was not enough.

The combat effectiveness of the 772nd Regiment can compete with that of the Japanese invaders.

The opponents of the New 1st Regiment could only be squad-level Japanese troops, and they were even inferior in combat effectiveness.

Seeing Zhong Zhicheng's smile, Li Yunlong stiffened his neck and continued to complain: "If you ask me, it's just that the brigade commander is biased. Isn't Cheng Xiazi just an obedient kid? Can he fight well if he is obedient?"

"Since the battle of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, I have made many more military achievements than this guy. When that white dog's machine gun was firing, I dared to bring people with explosives to blow up the son of a bitch. Is he Cheng Shifa?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Zhicheng quickly changed the subject: "Old Li, stop complaining to me here. If you have the guts, go talk to the brigade commander."

"Also, a few days ago Chu Yunfei told us to follow our friendly forces across the river. He really guessed it right. Today he sent someone to inform us. After wasting two days here, we can finally leave the ferry!"

When mentioning Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong's expression was full of fear.

He no longer complained about not being able to become the head of the 772nd Regiment. Instead, he whispered to Zhong Zhicheng, "This Chu Yunfei is indeed not a simple person. He knows too much about the situation of our Eighth Route Army."

"I say, Lao Zhong, the time we entered Northwest Shanxi must not match the time stipulated by the brigade. What do you think will happen if the brigade commander does not receive our message?"

If the brigade commander can't find anyone, he will definitely report to his superiors immediately.

Who knows, they might find the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

There is something wrong with the number of the new regiment itself.

"If they find out about Chu Yunfei again, wouldn't that cause trouble for him?"

Zhong Zhicheng frowned, "It's hard to say. But haven't you been disliking this guy these past few days? Why are you starting to think about Chu Yunfei now?"

Li Yunlong groaned and explained with some disdain: "Although this guy is arrogant, he is still good to our New 1st Regiment. Old Li is a conscientious person after all. He will not do such things that will cause trouble to others. Let's go, let's establish contact with the brigade as soon as possible and report the situation."

As the two talked, they walked quickly towards the ferry.

At the ferry at this time.

Chu Yunfei and Cheng Shifa had a very pleasant conversation.

Captain Cheng is relatively easier to communicate with than Li Yunlong.

At least Captain Cheng wouldn't keep calling him "I" all the time, which made Chu Yunfei feel more comfortable.

Moreover, Cheng Shifa seemed to have learned about the previous battle of their 358th Regiment at Ru Yuekou.

His words were full of compliments and admiration.

No matter it's sincere or just for show.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

After all, the 772nd Regiment was a team that sincerely fought against the Japanese aggression.

Chu Yunfei naturally expressed a warm welcome.

And when he learned that Captain Cheng liked to drink, he arranged for Sun Ming to move two boxes of 42° Shanxi Laofen Liquor and some captured Japanese canned beef from the regiment headquarters.

For a moment, Captain Cheng's favorable impression of Chu Yunfei increased greatly.

Although they were under the command of Yan Laoxi, Chu Yunfei and his 358th Regiment had never fought against the Red Army.

So there is no grudge between the two sides.

After chatting for a while, both sides got down to business.

"Brother Chu, you just said that the new regiment of our brigade is resting at your headquarters?"

"That's right. The New 1st Regiment under your brigade is not in the battle sequence of the National Army. I can only regard it as a local armed force. The order given to me by the Second War Zone is that non-combat teams cannot be allowed to cross the Yellow River."

Chu Yunfei's words were full of sincerity. As he spoke, he placed the telegram from the Second War Zone Command on the table and handed it over.

Captain Cheng didn't even look at it.

After a brief contact, Captain Cheng discovered that Chu Yunfei was an extremely arrogant person.

Such people disdain to be deceived with words.

Chu Yunfei said there was an order, so there must be an order.

"Well, it just so happens that your two groups are leaving together, so I can report to the higher-ups."

Captain Cheng quickly opened his mouth to express his gratitude.

Chu Yunfei stretched out his hand to stop him. He said seriously, "After all, you and I belong to the same battle sequence of the Second War Zone. You crossed the Yellow River to fight the Japanese invaders, so we are friendly forces, brother troops. It's just a small favor, so there's no need to thank us."

"Hahaha!"

"Brother Chu is indeed a straightforward person. No wonder our brigade commander has praised you several times."

Chu Yunfei also laughed: "Then please trouble Captain Cheng to say hello to the senior for me!"

Outside the ferry.

After hearing the laughter of Chu Yunfei and Cheng Shifa, Zhong Zhicheng and the other man slowed down their pace.

Li Yunlong looked puzzled. He turned his head and asked, "That's not right. Chu Yunfei didn't embarrass him?"

Zhong Zhicheng laughed and said, "The number of the 772nd Regiment can be checked. It has been registered with the Ministry of Military Affairs."

When Li Yunlong heard the number, he immediately yelled, "Damn it!"

The two walked quickly towards the direction of the laughter.

The soldiers on both sides also spontaneously made way for a passage.

See Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng coming over.

Chu Yunfei and others naturally looked at them.

Cheng Shifa cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chu, I have official duties to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. It's just right that we can leave together and go to the northwest of Shanxi to carry out combat missions."

Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "Then I wish your army a victory in the first battle in northwest Shanxi. Just like the 115th Division, you can show the power of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Then I'll borrow Captain Chu's good words~!"
