Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 21 I invite you to join my 358th Regiment

"Brother Zhicheng, Brother Yunlong, what are your plans for crossing the Yellow River to fight the war?"

"Plan? We crossed the Yellow River to fight the devils."

Zhong Zhicheng said seriously: "Before we came here, our superiors warned us that the Japanese army is very powerful and difficult to deal with, and we should be extremely careful."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said in a sarcastic tone, "Captain Chu has a strong army, why would he be guarding the ferry crossing on the Yellow River instead of fighting the Japanese?"

Chu Yunfei glanced at Li Yunlong and knew what the bastard was thinking: "To be honest with you, my 358th Regiment has just withdrawn from the front line.

In the Battle of Ruyuekou, our 358th Regiment faced the main force of the Japanese Independent Mixed 11th Brigade, annihilated more than enemies, and won a great victory at Ruyuekou, for which we were commended by Commander Yan and Chairman of the Committee.

Fang Ligong also said: "At present, we have received orders from Commander Yan to let the 358th Regiment rest in Xing County and guard the Yellow River crossing. In fact, it is just a side job."

Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng looked at each other and both could see the shock in their eyes.

According to what the two learned in the afternoon.

The 358th Regiment had five to six thousand troops in Xing County alone.

If what Chu Yunfei said was true, they fought with the Japanese at Ru Yuekou and killed more than 3,000 of them.

So how did they manage to only have five or six thousand people left?
Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng thought that there was no need for Chu Yunfei to deceive them.

You know, their new regiment has less than 400 people at most.

Even the numbered regiment did not exceed four thousand people at this time.

Could it be before the battle started?

There are over 358 people in the th Regiment?
Is this 358th Regiment a monster? Where did so many people come from?
It seemed that he noticed the surprise of the two.

Fang Ligong took the initiative to speak up at Chu Yunfei's signal: "It seems that you two don't know much about my 358th Regiment, so I will give you a brief introduction."

Zhong Zhicheng laughed and said, "Then we are all ears."

"As the regimental commander just said, our 358th Regiment is directly under the Second War Zone. There are only four such troops in the Second War Zone."

"They are the 358th Regiment, the newly formed st Regiment, the nd Regiment, and the rd Regiment."

"Of course, the remaining three regiments are still in training, and the position of the regiment leader has not yet been decided."

Li Yunlong's eyes were full of amusement. He had guessed the purpose of Chu Yunfei's visit: "In other words, the only unit directly under the Second War Zone is the 358th Regiment of Captain Chu?"

Fang Ligong smiled and nodded: "That's right, you two, our 358th Regiment has a full strength of about soldiers."

"As for your army, it has only three or four hundred men, not to mention the weapons."

"Lack of ammunition, lack of heavy weapons."

"Excuse me for being blunt, but with the combat effectiveness of your New 1st Regiment, you are likely to be completely annihilated, let alone against a regiment of the Japanese army, or even a squadron."

Fang Ligong paused, and introduced proudly: "On the other hand, our 358th Regiment not only has a large number of soldiers and generals, but also has strong firepower. We also have the Taiyuan Arsenal for direct replenishment."

"If we are to fight against the Japanese invaders and defend our country, our 358th Regiment will obviously have the advantage."

Both Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng fell into silence.

What Fang Ligong said is true.

The truth is often the hardest to accept.

Seeing that the two seemed a little hesitant, Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "I am a straightforward person and don't like those beating around the bush. This time I came here to invite you two to join my 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"To show my sincerity, I will recommend you two to be promoted to major to Commander Yan, and the position of deputy regiment commander will also be reserved for Brother Zhicheng."

Li Yunlong was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Captain Chu, I, Li Yunlong, am the commander of the New 1st Regiment. If you want to win over our New 1st Regiment, you should also win over me."

Zhong Zhicheng was silent, looking at Chu Yunfei with fear in his eyes.

His intuition told him that this Chu Yunfei was not simple.

“To be honest with you two, I am Chu, a graduate of the fifth term of Whampoa Military Academy. When I was studying at school, I had some knowledge of your army and party.

In the 18th year of the Republic of China, the division of responsibilities of your army clearly pointed out that the political commissar had the responsibility to shoulder the responsibility of the cadres.
Of course, I won’t mention the subsequent changes in responsibilities, as you two naturally know more about it than I, Chu.”

Seeing that the two were still silent, Chu Yunfei continued, "After the reorganization, your army no longer has a political commissar position, and is referred to as the deputy commander. I guess I am right, am I?"

Zhong Zhicheng cupped his hands and said, "Captain Chu has done a good job in intelligence work. I, Zhong Zhicheng, admire him. However, I'm sorry that I cannot accept your request to join the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Fang Ligong snorted coldly and glared at the two of them angrily.

In his opinion, no matter whether it is Zhong Zhicheng or Li Yunlong.

None of them are worth Chu Yunfei's efforts to win them over.

Chu Yunfei came in person to negotiate with the two peasants from the Eighth Route Army, which was already giving them enough face.

Chu Yunfei had no expression on his face, but he didn't insist.

He immediately stood up and was about to leave: "If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. You two, Chu will take his leave."

"Oh, by the way, your army can wait until the friendly forces cross the river, and then the two regiments can leave together. This way, I, Chu, can explain to the superiors."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Chu. I appreciate it!"

After Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong left.

Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng looked at each other.

"Old Li, if we don't give him face, will Chu Yunfei attack us?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "No, this Chu Yunfei is extremely arrogant. I guess even his attempt to win us over was a spur-of-the-moment decision."

"Why do you judge like that?"

Li Yunlong said angrily: "When have you ever seen someone win over others with just words? No matter how you look at it, we have hundreds of people!"

"But what if they don't care?"

Li Yunlong listened to what Zhong Zhicheng said and fell into deep thought.

With Chu Yunfei's arrogance, would he really care about these hundreds of people?

In fact, Chu Yunfei really didn't care.

Li Yunlong.

He's just the protagonist in a film or TV series.

Not to mention all his bad habits, the troubles he caused alone are enough to get him shot many times.

The only thing that can be praised is his courage, and his occasional flashes of cleverness and clever ideas.

In Chu Yunfei's opinion, Li Yunlong's command level is average.

The command levels of both sides are not at the same level at all.

In Chu Yunfei's mind, it was often 800,000 versus 600,000.

Before going to military school.

Chu Yunfei believed that Li Yunlong’s upper limit was an infantry regiment commander and he could sit at the same table with Chiang Kai-shek.

However, he is quite suitable for leading a commando team.

Form a reconnaissance company or a reconnaissance brigade.

Letting Li Yunlong take charge is also a good choice.

"Commander, these Eighth Route Army soldiers are simply asking for trouble."

Chu Yunfei laughed and advised: "Brother Ligong, there is no need to be so angry. Deputy Commander Zhong is a talented person. Please send a telegram to the commander's headquarters for me and ask them to help me check whether there is any information about Deputy Commander Zhong Zhicheng."

"Yes!"

Just a few hundred new recruits.

Chu Yunfei essentially looked down upon it.

What he wanted was the political commissar of the new regiment, Zhong Zhicheng.

Li Yunlong has good qualifications.

The Eighth Route Army was at such a critical juncture of reorganization.

The selection of the deputy head of the regiment (political commissar) was well-intentioned.

Zhong Zhicheng is not only on par with Li Yunlong in terms of qualifications.

Must have certain command capabilities.

otherwise.

It is absolutely impossible to suppress this stubborn Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong is a double-edged sword.
