Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 25: Brother Ligong’s advice is better than thousands of troops!
On the way back to the regiment headquarters, Fang Ligong found Chu Yunfei and asked directly, "Commander, where are the members of the new regiment?"

Chu Yunfei noticed Fang Ligong's urgency and asked immediately, "They have already left with the 772nd Regiment... What's wrong?"

"The telegram from Nanjing, I don't know where they received the news from"

He took the telegram handed over by Fang Ligong.

Only then did Chu Yunfei understand why Fang Ligong was so anxious.

The Nanjing authorities learned of this from nowhere, and the military secret service sent a secret telegram to Chu Yunfei, asking them to disarm this unnumbered unit.
Chu Yunfei sighed silently in his heart.

In the eyes of these Blue Party leaders, local armed forces without numbers are not even as good as ragtag armies.

In the early days of the War of Resistance.

At the very least, Chiang Kai-shek still had the intention of making use of the ragtag army.

At worst, we still rely on them to fight the Japanese.

A series of reforms and actions have been taken to this end.

For example, promotion of position, military rank, etc.

The more disorganized an army is, the easier it is to promote someone to be a corps commander or an army group commander.

Military ranks include lieutenant general, general, etc.

But in the final analysis, it is essentially just a means to win people's hearts.

After all, Chiang Kai-shek always believed and pursued the policy of: killing the miscellaneous bands to eliminate internal strife and killing the Japanese pirates to eliminate foreign threats.

There is actually no other way for the ragtag army to go except centralization.

"Commander, the new regiment has already left. How should we explain this to Nanjing?"

"Explain?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly: "Who do I, Chu Yunfei, need to explain to? Call Nanjing back and tell them that they are indeed anti-Japanese armed forces. They have been allowed to leave the ferry. If any consequences arise, I, Chu Yunfei, will bear all the consequences."

"Commander, you absolutely cannot do that!"

A secret message from the attendant's room.

If Chu Yunfei really responded like this in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes.

You might end up becoming a disobedient (red) bad student.

under such circumstances.

Both Chu Yunfei and the Second War Zone may be affected.

Chiang Kai-shek himself was quite afraid of Yan Xi Jinping. In the name of supporting the Shanxi War of Resistance, he immediately transferred the main force of Tang Enbo's army, saying that they were going to participate in the Battle of Shanghai.

Is the anti-Japanese war situation in Shanxi not important?
Not really. Chiang Kai-shek intended to deplete the strength of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army from the very beginning.

This is also why the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Taiyuan.

The reason why there are less than 100,000 people left.

In order to restrict Yan Xi Jinping, Chiang Kai-shek allocated only one-third of the standard military pay after the Battle of Taiyuan.

After the Northwest Shanxi Incident.

In order to completely suppress Yan Laoxi, Chiang Kai-shek wooed General Fu Yisheng's Sui Army to become independent.

Separated from the Jinsui Army.

Since then, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has never recovered and has been completely marginalized. During the period when Shinozuka Yoshio served as the commander of the First Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was completely reduced to a supporting role in Shanxi.
Of course, these are all later stories, before Taiyuan fell.

Yan Laoxi is Chu Yunfei's strongest supporter at the moment.

As long as he did not offend Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek would naturally be willing to accept him as an occasionally rebellious student.

Fang Ligong frowned slightly at this time, and he suddenly remembered Chu Yunfei's arrangements a few days ago.

After Chu Yunfei came into contact with the new regiment, he immediately ordered Sun Ming to collect some of the miscellaneous weapons that the soldiers had replaced.

Fifty old rifles.

At that time, Fang Ligong was also worried that Chu Yunfei would be sent to the New 1st Regiment, and even offered suggestions.

But now it seems that Chu Yunfei has no intention of giving away weapons voluntarily.

even
Fang Ligong's mind worked very quickly.

Could it be that, at that time, the regimental commander had already anticipated that Nanjing would most likely know about this matter and issue corresponding orders?
If that's the case, then the commander is a bit too scary.

But why, at this moment, did the commander seem to have forgotten about this matter?

Are you waiting for me to bring it up?

Fang Ligong pushed up his glasses and asked tentatively, "Commander, didn't we allocate some weapons and ammunition before?"

Chu Yunfei seemed to have just remembered it, and continued to play dumb: "Yes, I was planning to support the Eighth Route Army in the battle. Their weapons were nothing more than firewood sticks in my opinion. Using such weapons to fight the Japanese is no different from committing suicide."

"We can use these weapons as the weapons for this disarmament."

"Brother Ligong, do you mean to leave no evidence?"

Chu Yunfei seemed to have just figured it out. He spoke very quickly without giving Fang Ligong a chance to speak: "During the disarmament process, a conflict broke out between the two sides, killing and wounding more than 400 enemy soldiers. Except for the bandit leaders Zhong Zhicheng and Li Yunlong who jumped into the river to escape, the rest were killed or captured by our army. Fifty rifles and some ammunition were seized."

"Commander. I."

Chu Yunfei naturally did not give him a chance to explain, and he applauded the Fourth Battalion Commander and Sun Ming: "Brother Ligong's advice to me is better than thousands of troops."

Sun Ming also guessed Chu Yunfei's thoughts and acted as a mouthpiece: "These bureaucrats in Nanjing really have nothing to do, and they have to meddle in such trivial matters."

Zhuo Tianyu was originally from the Northwest Army, so he had naturally come across these telegrams and battle results that fooled Chiang Kai-shek. He also applauded: "The Nanjing side has no way to verify it. If there was any problem and they wanted to investigate, our 358th Regiment would most likely have been deep in the front line of fighting the enemy. As long as the Nanjing side had a normal mind, the investigation would not continue."

Zhuo Tianyu's speech speed became slower and slower, his little head spinning frantically, his eyes full of admiration for the other party's meritorious service: "I think this matter will most likely just be left unresolved, Sir, that's brilliant!"

"In that case, Brother Ligong, draft a telegram saying that the commander of this disarmament operation was Zhuo Tianyu, the commander of the Fourth Battalion of the 358th Regiment, and request credit for him in the name of Chu Yunfei."

Zhuo Tianyu did not react and suppressed his excitement: "Commander, is this appropriate?"

Chu Yunfei smiled heartily and said soothingly, "What's inappropriate? Meritorious service should be rewarded. How can a captain be a battalion commander? Your military exploits and efforts cannot be denied just because of your background. In the Battle of Ruyuekou, if it weren't for your 427th Battalion fighting to the death to support the th Regiment, perhaps the position would have been lost long ago. I think it's time to change your rank to a major."

As Chu Yunfei spoke, he took Sun Ming to the training ground of the Second Battalion.

After receiving the order from Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong could only continue to go to the regiment headquarters to draft a telegram.

At this time, Chu Yunfei didn't even give him the chance to refuse.

Fang Ligong looked helpless and could only walk towards the regiment headquarters.

Zhuo Tianyu, who was standing by, just reacted at this moment. He quickly advised: "Sir, this telegram cannot be sent!"

Fang Ligong raised his eyebrows and stopped moving: "Why don't you go talk to the commander?"

Zhuo Tianyu swallowed his saliva, as if he had thought of something terrible, and immediately shook his head: "Forget it. Just let him be a major. As long as a few of us hold on to our lives, Nanjing will definitely not be able to find out anything..."
