Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 350 Chu Yunfei angrily rebukes Dai Li. Lin Wei's attitude, Chang Ruiyuan's transformation! (Subscribe)

Lay down your weapons and surrender.

The commanders headed by Chu Yunfei clearly expressed their attitudes.

Other than that, there's a dead end.

The negotiations ended unpleasantly.

Lin Canghui left the meeting room with a gloomy face.

As for Chu Yunfei.

At this time, accompanied by Chu Xichun, he sat in front of Lin Wei.

The people in the Nationalist government are all smart.

I can live a peaceful and stable life by Chang Ruiyuan's side.

It is even smarter to a certain extent.

Lin Wei is such a person, talented and tactful at the same time.

Basically, I can deal with all things with ease.

This is why.

The reason why Chang Ruiyuan sent him here.

Chu Yunfei knew very well that he could play tricks on this group of people with his own political wisdom.

It will only put you at a disadvantage, so it is better to be straightforward.

He simply went straight to the point and stated his position immediately: "Since the Northern Expedition, the country has been in turmoil, and the barbarians are trying to spy on the Central Plains. I think this is because the so-called unification before has not formed a substantive unification."

Chu Yunfei was now wearing a grass green Central Army uniform.

In fact, he has indirectly expressed his attitude that he does not reject Chang Ruiyuan's move.

But the time was too early, so early that he didn't have any more time to prepare.

Since the Japanese army had not yet reached the peak of its military strength, there was no sign of when this battle would end.

With Lin Wei's talent.

Naturally, we also know that the time is not ripe at this moment.

It is visible to the naked eye that so many Jin army generals need to be properly arranged.

Most areas of Shanxi need post-war reconstruction.

These two issues alone are things that cannot be resolved in a short period of time.

Since Chu Yunfei has already expressed his position, Yan Laoxi has already decided to "step down".

What else do they have to press so hard for?
I'm really getting anxious.

Is there anything that Yan Laoxi can't do?
The hands of the King of Shanxi are not clean either.

And with Chu Yunfei speaking and Chu Xichun remaining silent, things were going too smoothly.

This caused Lin Wei to instantly realize that something was wrong. In essence, he was not quite used to Chu Yunfei's way of communication.

I was caught in a brainstorming session for a while.

Countless possibilities interweave and change.

While Lin Wei was thinking, Chu Yunfei added: "I think the chairman should focus on foreign threats. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, it would be inappropriate to mention that we must first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. What do you think?"

Lin Wei smiled, but his heart was already filled with turmoil.

obviously.

Chu Yunfei didn't want his principal to deal with Yan Laoxi.

And it's at this time.

Lin Wei nodded slightly: "Yun Fei, you can rest assured, the chairman is naturally aware of this."

"That's good." Chu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "In this Beitongpu Railway Battle, the participating troops in the Second War Zone suffered heavy casualties and were in short supply of troops. They are in urgent need of reinforcements. The resettlement of refugees also requires support from the rear."

Lin Wei nodded slightly: "The Chairman will definitely consider this matter carefully, but I came here mainly to discuss the relevant matters of Hu Zongnan's troops entering the Shanxi region to fight. The Chairman is quite worried that the results of this counterattack will be wasted due to the strong counterattack of the Japanese invaders."

"Commander Hu?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and teased, "Isn't Commander Hu in northern Shaanxi to guard against the Japanese army crossing the river?"

Be on guard for nothing.

Cross the river?

Which river to cross?

Everyone knew what Hu Zongnan was going to do.

However, the Japanese troops in the northwest of Shanxi have now been basically eliminated.

As the war gradually subsided.

Chu Yunfei will also adjust part of the combat troops to be stationed in the northwest of Shanxi.

To separate the Sixth Army and the Seventh Army under Fu Zuoyi.

To avoid unnecessary disputes.

Naturally, there was no need for Hu Zongnan to stay in Shaanxi.

Lin Wei chuckled and expressed Chang Ruiyuan's meaning in a rather calm tone: "The chairman mainly took into account that the Japanese army is likely to launch a counterattack against Shanxi, and the participating troops in the Second War Zone."

"Instead of wasting time there, it would be good to dispatch some troops to reinforce the Fifth War Zone." Chu Yunfei's tone was full of emotion.

Lin Wei paused, then added: "As you just said, Yunfei, there have been heavy casualties."

Chu Xichun waved his hand: "The representatives sent by the Japanese army are currently in the Second War Zone Headquarters, but the conditions proposed by the Japanese side sound a bit far-fetched."

He then continued in a half-joking tone: "As long as we allow the Japanese 20th Division to evacuate Longcheng and the surrounding areas as a whole, they will guarantee not to attack Jinzhong and Jinnan areas."

"The Japanese army cannot be trusted." Lin Wei raised his eyebrows, rubbed his fingers, and then said: "Does the Second War Zone still have the ability to attack?"

As Lin Wei spoke, he turned his head to look at Chu Yunfei beside him.

Chu Yunfei shook his head in silence: "Our army has almost used up all the artillery shells and the troops are not fully organized. At the current replenishment rate, it will take at least a year to restore combat effectiveness. During this period, theoretically, the Second War Zone does not have combat troops with offensive capabilities."

"The 14th Army?" Lin Wei mentioned.

"They can't." Chu Yunfei's tone was a little stiff: "If we want to recover a city like Longcheng that is like a bunker, even if we are in full strength, it will take us three months, and that's assuming we have sufficient weapons and ammunition reserves."

Such a blunt tone.

It's not that we look down on our friendly forces.

It is simply telling a fact.

"If it was 37, the main force of the th Army that had just participated in the Battle of Xinkou, it would not be impossible to fight a decisive battle."

After all, they are elite troops led by Wei Lihuang, and they have high combat skills.

But based on the estimated manpower and firepower of both sides, it is likely that they will not be able to win even if they fight such a tough battle.

As for the current 14th Army Group.

Although it is known as the main force of the Central Army.

In fact, its combat effectiveness has fallen to a third-rate level.

In the latest combat effectiveness assessment of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Various combat units affiliated to the 14th Army Group.

It only received a Class C rating.

This means that in the eyes of a group of senior commanders in the Military and Political Department.

Even a fully staffed army.

It was only able to fight against an ordinary mixed brigade of the Japanese Army, not to mention the elite regular divisions like the 20th Division.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides is basically not at the same level.

Two or even three main armies were barely able to resist the Japanese attack in a defensive posture.

Let's change to a more intuitive way of comparison.

A fully-strength main regiment under Chu Yunfei, or two fully-strength core regiments.

It is enough to suppress a main force of friendly forces in an offensive battle.

At this time, in the combat sequence of the National Revolutionary Army, the 14th Army Group was still the elite main force of the Central Army.

Can get timely supply of guns and ammunition from Chang Ruiyuan.

And give priority to replenishing troops.

As for those other local military units.

Especially those combat units rated as Class C or even Class D.

The Japanese troops would probably have scattered like birds and beasts if they were a hundred kilometers away.

"Can the Sixth Army take on this important task?" Lin Wei asked again.

Chu Yunfei shook his head silently: "In terms of combat effectiveness, it is no different from the vast majority of the National Government's current combat troops of more than three million."

“Although the Sixth Army is the main force of our Jin Army and Commander Yan’s direct troops, its combat effectiveness is actually third-rate, and it does not have the corresponding offensive combat capabilities.

The main task of such a combat-capable force is to maintain a strategic defensive posture and to maintain the long front line, and it must not be used in the offensive. "

Lin Wei came here this time with the intention of reorganizing the combat troops in the Second War Zone: "In Yunfei's opinion, how did Zeng Wanzhong's troops of the Fifth Army perform in this battle?"

In Lin Wei's opinion.

In theory, the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army (which had been reorganized into the Shanxi Second Construction Corps in the Second War Zone and was still the Eighth Army in the list of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and guns, ammunition and military pay were issued according to this standard) actually had no need to exist.

only.

The Second War Zone, which has been designated as a strategic counterattack zone, is not suitable for corresponding reorganization work.

This time I came here with the intention of understanding the current situation in the Second War Zone in detail.

Chu Xichun did not respond, but just sipped his tea silently.

Chu Yunfei sighed and continued, "They have almost destroyed their organization. The entire Fifth Army now has less than 4,000 combat troops."

"Oh?" Lin Wei frowned slightly: "Why are there so few soldiers?"

Chu Yunfei said bluntly: "We should ask the headquarters, ask Commander He, why the troops, weapons, equipment, and ammunition are not being effectively supplied."

"The government's finances and military equipment reserves are quite difficult." Seeing that Chu Yunfei wanted to say something to interrupt him, Lin Wei simply sped up his speech: "Could it be that Zeng Wanzhong's troops of the Fifth Army did not choose to recruit locally?"

"The population in southeastern Shanxi is only three million, and the mobilization of various counties has basically reached its limit. We can perhaps recruit a group of young and strong refugees from Sichuan and Shaanxi to Shanxi to make up for the shortfall." Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and gave a corresponding solution.

Lin Wei nodded seriously and chose to take advantage of the situation: "I will report this matter to the chairman and implement it as soon as possible."

For the current national government.

Excessive numbers of refugees are difficult to bear, and too many of them can easily become a destabilizing factor.

And if they were allowed to join the army.

Not only can they get enough food, but they also have a certain level of combat effectiveness after training.

So why didn't these refugees choose to join the army?
This is due to the Nationalist government's backward mobilization work and unimplementable conscription policy.

It is also related to the lack of a considerable number of grassroots cadres at the grassroots level.

Even Chu Yunfei, the pioneer.

In just two years, it is impossible to fill the grassroots level in the entire southeastern Shanxi region.

Not to mention Chang Ruiyuan, who is even more lacking in grassroots cadres and has almost no power at the grassroots level.

This is also a huge problem for Chang Ruiyuan and other senior Kuomintang officials.

Refugees came to Shanxi.

The problem of just opening your mouth to eat is difficult to solve.

Stay in the rear areas of Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places.

The UNHCR needs to be responsible, as they do not have sufficient capacity to cope with and deal with such matters.

Regarding the reception of refugees,
The movement has never stopped in the southeastern part of Shanxi.

Tens of thousands of refugees are received and resettled in Jincheng and other places almost every month.

Nowadays, Jincheng is approaching population saturation.

The resettlement of relevant refugees has also begun to develop towards Yangcheng, Linxian, Changzhi and other areas.

And with the recovery of Dragon City.

The Shanxi region will certainly be able to accommodate more refugees.

Here they can stay away from the war and produce in peace.

Have a relatively stable living environment.

"Yun Fei, what are your thoughts on the subsequent counterattack in Shanxi?" Lin Wei asked again.

Chu Yunfei sighed silently: "The Japanese 20th Division is a big trouble."

"Not only do these little devils have sufficient combat strength, strong combat effectiveness, and rich experience, but more importantly, they also have the civilians in Longcheng as bargaining chips. Even if our army's combat effectiveness recovers quickly, we will inevitably reduce the use of large-caliber artillery in siege operations."

"Commander Yan is a fatherly official who loves the people. He will definitely not sit idly by." Chu Xichun also frowned, with a worried look on his face: "The most important thing at this stage is how to protect the lives and safety of the people, and then to eliminate these Japanese."

"This matter...is indeed difficult to handle."

Lin Wei also sighed slightly.

The position of commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone is actually very difficult to hold.

Central Army, Shanxi Army, Japanese Army, Eighth Route Army, Sui Army

It is impossible for Yan Laoxi's local faction to obey Chang Ruiyuan's instructions in everything. Especially at such a critical moment, he did something that disregarded the lives of the people of Longcheng and mindlessly besieged the city.

If this battle turns into a siege, a humanitarian disaster could easily occur.

Even in war.

Such sieges were common.

Well-known in China.

It was the Siege of Changchun that took place during the War of Liberation.

At this time, Longcheng was facing almost the same problem as the siege of Changchun.

Zheng Dongguo was still able to leave three months of food for the people.

But it’s hard to say about this group of Japanese devils.

The area around Longcheng is only this big.

But the population was close to 250,000.

A large amount of food was also stored there, and there were more than 20,000 Japanese troops.

If you completely disregard the lives of the people.

The food collected can last about fourteen to eighteen months.

There are also a large number of permanent and semi-permanent fortifications outside Longcheng.

The possibility of attacking and annihilating them in a short period of time is not high.

During this time.

The Japanese army must have been prepared to rescue the 20th Division.

And if the blockade and siege of Longcheng area are relaxed.

If the 20th Division were allowed to find an opportunity to break out, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains.

There are pros and cons to every decision you make.

“But one thing is certain: the Japanese 20th Division will never leave intact.

If the two sides can't come to an agreement, I'm going to kill these sons of bitches, even if it means I lose my front teeth."

Chu Yunfei expressed his opinion loudly.

Lin Wei frowned slightly and reminded: "The Chairman will most likely not support such a military action..."

If it is really as Chu Yunfei said, we will have to fight against more than 20,000 Japanese devils.

It is bound to consume a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

Let’s make a simple calculation based on Chu Yunfei’s previous playing style.

The consumption of ammunition and artillery shells in the siege battle based on this foundation should be greater than that in ordinary field battles.

If we attack Longcheng by force, the battle will inevitably start in March, and it is estimated that the battle will last at least eight months.

Based on the current military production capacity of the National Government.

It is very likely that the production of ammunition and artillery shells in the next year will not be enough for Chu Yunfei's troops to consume.

This is difficult!

"So we urgently need the chairman to express his support for our Second War Zone. At least let the Japanese army receive such news. Only in this way can we strive for more favorable conditions."

Lin Wei nodded silently: "I need to consult the chairman about this matter."

The long negotiation process must continue.

This kind of thing cannot be accomplished overnight.

Both parties need to conduct ten or even dozens of discussions, tests and concessions.

To confirm the content of each clause in the draft agreement.

Naturally, it is impossible for Chu Yunfei to focus all his energy on the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters.

mountain city.

Command headquarters.

The leader of the Central Bureau of Investigation, Xu Enzeng, was standing in front of Chang Ruiyuan at this time.

He was reporting on some intelligence he had recently gathered.

It is mainly about the situation of guerrillas in Hebei, Henan and other regions.

Same as Dai Yunong.

Xu Enzeng also doesn't like to use paper reports when reporting his work.

After all, it's a spy job, and I often have to take the blame for Chang Ruiyuan.

Leaving a paper report is not a good idea.

While the two were talking, a phone call came into Chang Ruiyuan's command center.

Chang Ruiyuan signaled with his eyes, and Xu Enzeng left tactfully: "I'm leaving now."

"Hey!"

"Chairman, the latest news."

The Japanese struck again.

Cooperate with the Kuomintang under his command and the stubborn forces within the party.

A new round of splitting work on the Anti-Japanese National United Front was carried out.

this period.

Provoking discord became the focus of propaganda work by Japan and the diehards headed by Wang Zhaoming.

They have been promoting the so-called "guerrilla warfare" which is actually guerrilla warfare without fighting.

What annoyed Chang Ruiyuan the most was that there were people in their party who cooperated with the Japanese and these traitorous followers of Wang.

Not only did they misinterpret the great victory of the Beitongpu Railway recently publicized by the Central Daily News as an ordinary raid, but they also magnified and provoked the existing rift between the two sides.

It is obvious that the purpose of this group of people is to achieve the split and rift between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, which is what the Japanese hope for.

to this end.

Yan'an responded quickly and immediately published a related article to refute this.

It means that there are neither followers of Wang the traitor nor mahjong tiles of corrupt bureaucrats!

The more anxious the Japanese were, the happier Chang Ruiyuan was.

My originally depressed mood improved a lot because of this phone call.

Wang Shihe was soon called over by the guards.

Chang Ruiyuan said slowly: "The Japanese have made new moves, and I also need you to release some information here."

"Yes, Chairman." Wang Shihe stood aside respectfully.

"The Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region is now firmly implementing the spirit of the Three Principles of the People, which is worthy of admiration and reward."

Chang Ruiyuan said: "In addition, in the past, some yes-men echoed the idea of ​​guerrilla warfare and "guerrilla warfare without fighting" proposed by Wang Zhaoming and his peers. Now, Wang has guerrilla warfare on the Japanese side, and the yes-men are playing "guerrilla warfare" in the world of mahjong. They really don't know what shame is in the world."①
"I understand." Wang Shihe hurriedly turned and left.

Today, under the leadership of the Communists.

The anti-Japanese base areas in North China are dotted around like sparks that have already set off a prairie fire.

The Japanese army was like a thorn in our throat.

On the front battlefield, there are powerful enemies like Chu Yunfei and various attacking armies.

There are guerrillas and local armed forces in the battlefield behind enemy lines who come and go without a trace.

Overwhelmed and exhausted.

The Japanese were also very clear about this at this time.

They could not win this protracted war.

They wanted to use all kinds of shady, dirty and harmful tricks on the Nationalist government.

When he thought of this, Chang Ruiyuan became extremely excited!
At this time, he had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Bang bang bang~!"

"Come in."

"Chairman, General Liu Fei wants to see you."

"The corresponding tax policies also need to be adjusted. In the past two months, we have mobilized propaganda agencies at all levels to spread the word so that ordinary people, especially the workers, merchants and craftsmen in southeastern Shanxi, will know about this matter."

“And it will be directly raised to 3% in the third month, and then lowered to 35% in the next month to support the subsequent strategic counterattack.”

"You need to pay more attention to this matter and try not to differentiate between commercial taxes and agricultural taxes in order to encourage the development of commerce and drive the corresponding industries."

"As for the rations, they must be exchanged for money, and never for other equivalents. It is the people's freedom to exchange for what they want, and we should not interfere."

Sun Weimou nodded. At this time, he was sitting at a table beside him, taking notes with pen and paper.

When he first arrived in southeastern Shanxi, Chu Yunfei needed a land reclamation policy with low taxes or even no land tax.

To encourage people to engage in land reclamation work and to attract refugees to settle and live in Shanxi.

10% direct tax.

That is the lowest in the world, and even in the foreseeable future.

Nowadays, the combat pressure is getting greater and greater, and Chu Yunfei cannot be satisfied with the status quo.

We can only let the people suffer for a while.

"Miss Song." Chu Yunfei turned his head to look at Song Wenying who was sitting next to him and said softly.

"I'm here." Song Wenying tidied her hair.

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you with the recent propaganda work in Southeast Shanxi and Xi'an."

"It's my duty..." Song Wenying nodded.

Just when a few people were having a small meeting.

Wu Dabing walked hurriedly and pushed open the door of the conference room.

He looked solemn and anxious.

Chu Yunfei also guessed that something might have happened, so he immediately said, "Pengcheng, send Miss Song back to the newspaper."

"Yes!" After Zhao Pengcheng and Song Wenying left.

Wu Dadan spoke very quickly: "I just received news that Zhou Daxing was taken away by the Military Control Commission. The leader said his name was Liang Ganqiao, a director of the Military Control Commission."

"Someone from the military command?"

Chu Yunfei's face changed and he slammed the table: "Who dares to take my people away without even saying hello to me!"

"Order Wang Qifeng to lead the team and bring the people back to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei was furious and walked to the phone: "I am Chu Yunfei, connecting to the Military Commission Investigation and Statistics Bureau."

"Is this the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? I'm Chu Yunfei, the commander of Chapter 88. I'm looking for your Director Dai. Hurry up and find him!"

[Commander Chu, Director Dai is in a meeting.]

"Tell him to call me back. I'll be waiting."

With a click, Chu Yunfei hung up the phone.

He turned around and looked at Wu Dadan who was standing aside: "Who else knows about this?"

"No, less than three minutes after the person was taken away, the phone call came in. The person who came was rude and took the person away without any formality. He said he had a warrant from Dai Li."

"Dai Yunong's order?" Chu Yunfei's brows twisted into a river: "These bastards are stretching their hands too far!"

Ding ding, the phone rings.

"Director Dai, I'm Chu Yunfei."

Dai Li could feel Chu Yunfei's anger even through the phone. He wanted to laugh it off: [Senior Brother Chu]

Before he could finish his words, Chu Yunfei interrupted him with a stern voice: "I have something to ask you, Dai Yunong. Who gave you the order to take my soldiers away from my territory?"

[What's going on, brother? Is there any misunderstanding here? ]

"Misunderstanding?" Chu Yunfei snorted coldly: "Then the misunderstanding here is huge, I tell you Dai Yunong."

"No matter who gave you the tip or the order, if you dare to take my soldiers away from my territory, you will bear the consequences!"

There was a click and the phone was hung up.

He was not given any chance to explain.

Dai Yunong looked shocked.

He had considered the possibility of the operation being exposed or even failing.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

Ever since he took office as deputy director of the Military Control Commission.

Even if the position is not high.

It's dirty and tiring work.

I have never seen anyone other than Chang Ruiyuan dare to scold him like this!
For a moment, Dai Yunong felt his face burning.
