Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Qian Bojun, I received a report saying that you robbed civilians of their property and injured others for no reason. Is that true?" Chu Yunfei said in a stern tone.

"Commander, that's not true. Who told you this? It's slander, absolutely slander!" Qian Bojun was shocked. How could such a small matter reach Chu Yunfei's ears?

But Chu Yunfei called specifically for this and his tone was so stern that he must be holding him accountable.

"Nothing happened? Qian Bojun, you are getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to hide it from me?" Chu Yunfei's face changed and he scolded.

"Commander, Commander..." Qian Bojun was also frightened by Chu Yunfei's voice. He was already feeling guilty, and Chu Yunfei was his old superior.

Qian Bojun's throat moved slightly: "Commander, there is such a thing, but we fought the Japanese with all our lives for them, so can't we eat one of his sheep? I also paid him afterwards, this..."

"Humph! Fight the devils for them? You are my old man, but you can say such ridiculous words. You fight the devils for yourself, for the country, and for the nation!"

"I have repeatedly stressed that we are not competing for territory with the devils, but with the Eighth Route Army!"

"The Eighth Route Army is deeply loved by the people, how dare you do such a thing of forced buying and selling, damaging wealth and life!"

"You! Where do you think the commander-in-chief's plan is?!"

Chu Yunfei started scolding him. What he hated most was soldiers bullying ordinary people.

"Commander...Commander, it's unfair. I gave money..." Qian Bojun continued to argue.

This is true, but that was after he had beaten someone up. He threw a dollar on the ground and took the sheep away with him.

Just like giving alms to a beggar...

"Needless to say, the commander-in-chief's order clearly states that when we arrive at the new station, we must establish good relations with the local people and win their hearts so that we can compete with the Eighth Route Army for territory!"

"You are so bold that you dare to openly disobey orders!"

"From now on, you pack your things and go to your Second Company to serve as the company commander. I have another candidate for the First Battalion commander!"

Chu Yunfei continued to scold.

We finally got hold of Qian Bojun, so of course we couldn't miss it.

"Commander, no, you can't... I am wronged!"

"Commander, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please don't demote me, Commander!"

Qian Bojun was completely panicked now. He didn't expect that such a small matter could cause Chu Yunfei to demote him directly to a company commander.

If he continues to be like this, wouldn't that be a joke?

"Follow the order!" Chu Yunfei didn't listen to Qian Bojun's nonsense and hung up the phone directly.

On the other end, Qian Bojun stood there in a daze, holding the phone, feeling extremely flustered.

Isn't it just stealing a sheep? In the past, no one cared about them, so why did Chu Yunfei not want to let him go?

He has followed Chu Yunfei for a long time.

Could it be that in Chu Yunfei's heart, after following him in bloody battles for so many years, he was still not as good as a sheep in an ordinary person's family?

The more Qian Bojun thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Clap!"

Qian Bojun slammed the receiver on the phone in anger.

Since Chu Yunfei was unkind first, don't blame me, Qian Bojun, for being unjust later.

"Deputy Battalion Commander!" Qian Bojun shouted to the outside of the door.

"Battalion Commander! What's the matter?" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang Fugui came over and asked.

"Come in and talk." Qian Bojun pulled Zhang Fugui into the room and closed the door carefully.

"Battalion Commander...what's the matter?" Zhang Fugui realized that the matter might not be simple and asked tentatively.

"Has Zheng Qianyi contacted you recently?" Qian Bojun asked.

Zheng Qianyi was the liaison between Qian Bojun and the Japanese.

"Mr. Zheng just came to me a few days ago. He asked me to find a way to provide the regiment commander's troop deployment to the Locust Army. I've been investigating it these days."

"But, Captain... isn't it a bad idea for us to do this? After all, the regiment commander treats us well..."

Zhang Fugui replied, then said with an evasive look.

To be honest, he was half against it and half against it.

He was the deputy commander of the 358st Battalion in the th Regiment and had a good salary. However, he was a little scared when fighting against the Japanese because they were too strong.

However, the Locust Army promised that as long as Qian Bojun joined the Locust Army, he would be the brigade commander, and Zhang Fugui would be the deputy brigade commander.

Under the temptation of such wealth and glory, Zhang Fugui began to waver.

Then Qian Bojun led him deeper and deeper...

"Humph! Not bad? Damn it, not bad! I was just demoted by Chu Yunfei!"

"Damn it! Asking me, a battalion commander, to be a company commander in my own battalion, isn't this a deliberate humiliation to me?!"

Qian Bojun was indignant, and Zhang Fugui's words made him feel heartbroken.

He has followed Chu Yunfei for so many years, and even if he has made some contributions, he has made some efforts.

I didn't expect it to end up like this.

"What? The commander demoted you?" Zhang Fugui asked in surprise.

"That's right. Chu Yunfei may act fake all the time, but I already know he is not a good person. He can demote me today and shoot me tomorrow!"

"Just think about it. Under Chu Yunfei, we are at most battalion commanders, and we have to fight the Japanese in fear. We might die on the battlefield one day. Yet, for a sheep, he demoted me!"

"It's different when we get to the Locust Army. I'm the brigade commander and you're the deputy brigade commander. You'll enjoy endless wealth and glory. Fighting with the Locust Army is at least not that dangerous!"

"Another thing is that I feel that Chu Yunfei may have noticed our actions, otherwise he would not have suppressed me."

"You have to think it through. If the truth comes out, you and I will be beheaded. Chu Yunfei will not let you and me go!"

Qian Bojun observed that Zhang Fugui still lacked determination and decided to add fuel to the fire.

Zhang Fugui was originally the kind of person who sat on the fence and had no opinion of his own. He had to emphasize the pros and cons so that Zhang Fugui would follow him willingly.

"Battalion Commander, I understand. How about I contact Mr. Zheng again?" Zhang Fugui thought about it again and again. He didn't dare to disobey Qian Bojun's wishes, nor did he dare to let Chu Yunfei find out.

Either of the two will mean that he will not see the sun tomorrow.

"Well, you make an appointment with Zheng Qianyi, not too late. I want to meet the person behind him. If he is unwilling, tell him that I will bring the entire battalion with me when the uprising starts." Qian Bojun whispered in his ear.

"I understand, Battalion Commander." Zhang Fugui no longer hesitated and agreed immediately.

He knew that Qian Bojun was a ruthless man. If he didn't do as he was told, Qian Bojun would claim that he had colluded with the Japanese and wanted to rebel, and would kill him directly. He would have no way to stop him.

"Go." Qian Bojun looked at Zhang Fugui and smiled.

Zhang Fugui nodded and walked out the door.
