Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

Chu Yunfei's words not only made Qian Bojun feel nervous, but also made Lin Qiang feel nervous.

Fortunately, the surrendered people were transferred away in advance, otherwise, based on Chu Yunfei's words, the harvest this time would have been reduced by more than half!

While the words were still echoing in the mountain stream, someone came out with his hands raised high.

Qian Bojun did not stop it, and no one dared to stop it.

In a short while, the team of several hundred people was reduced to less than a hundred people. These remaining people were Qian Bojun's true loyalists. They would not betray their superiors even if they knew they would die.

But in the eyes of Lin Qiang and others, this is blind loyalty.

If you look at things from different angles, you will get different answers.

There was a team of more than 400 people hiding in the woods. A few hours ago, they were Chu Yunfei's subordinates. Now they had left the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which Chu Yunfei considered a betrayal.

From Lin Qiang's perspective, these people simply turned to the light and were unwilling to follow Qian Bojun and become traitors to the enemy.

No one can judge this matter. Everyone's choices are different, so the answers they get are naturally different.

Qian Bojun was still making a final attempt to resist, trying to defuse the crisis with words: "Commander, in consideration of my years of service to you, how about letting me go?"

"Let you live?"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said, "Do you think this is possible?"

Qian Bojun certainly knew that it was impossible, but he just wanted to try.

Since Chu Yunfei said that this was his family affair and the favor had been repaid, Lin Qiang directly ordered a row of soldiers to withdraw, and asked Hu Zi and others to take Wu Zhe and others to leave Wanjia Town first and find Wang Qiang to meet up.

Qiangzi and a team of more than a dozen people stayed behind to ensure Lin Qiang's safety.

"Commander, are you planning to take action?"

Qian Bojun played the emotional card: "Just listen to me first, it's not too late to take action later."

"it is good!"

Chu Yunfei agreed: "I'm all ears!"

"Commander, I'm your old subordinate. During the Central Plains War in the 19th year of the Republic of China, I followed you in your campaigns. I won't tell you how much blood I shed and how many times I was injured."

Qian Bojun said with a little excitement: "Over the years, even if I haven't made any contributions, I've certainly worked hard, right?"

"If you keep on talking nonsense, I won't have time for you!"

Chu Yunfei shouted, "Just say what you want to say!"

"Commander, I'll be frank!"

At this point, Qian Bojun no longer cared about the feelings he had for many years, and only wanted to save his own life: "A wise bird chooses its tree. I don't see any chance of promotion under you, so it's natural to change the flag. Commander, am I doing the right thing?"

"You're right!"

Chu Yunfei dismounted and questioned, "You wanted to surrender to the enemy and become a traitor. I, Chu, won't stop you. That's your own business. The road is wide open, and we can each go our separate ways. But you wanted to take my men with you to surrender to the enemy. That's your fault!"

"Come here, take down these traitors!"

If Lin Qiang and his team were still surrounding them, Qian Bojun would naturally know that it would be impossible to escape, but now that a great opportunity was before him, there was no reason to miss it, so he immediately commanded the team to fight and retreat.

To his surprise, Zhang Fugui stepped forward and said, "Captain, we can't all get away. I'll stay with my men to stop Chu Yunfei. You leave quickly!"

"no!"

"Battalion Commander! Retreat!"

Zhang Fugui shouted, "Just don't forget to burn more paper for the brothers during Qingming Festival!"

"Battalion Commander, let's retreat! If we don't leave now, Adjutant Zhang and the others will have died in vain!"

"withdraw!"

Qian Bojun evacuated the battlefield through the woods with a personal soldier, thinking that he could escape disaster.

This time, Chu Yunfei brought his guard company, all equipped with Sten submachine guns, firing in full automatic mode. Zhang Fugui and other rebels could not hold out for long.

After getting rid of Zhang Fugui and the others, Chu Yunfei mounted his horse and said to Lin Qiang, "Platoon Leader Lin, this time is all thanks to you. I will go get rid of the traitor first, and I will definitely come to thank you later!"

"Captain Chu, you are too serious!"

Lin Qiang smiled and said, "We are all family, no need to be so polite!"

"drive!"

Watching Chu Yunfei ride away on horseback, Lin Qiang put away his smile and said, "Retreat!"

How could a two-legged person outrun a four-legged horse? Although Qian Bojun fled deep into the woods, he couldn't run too far in just a dozen minutes.

After leaving the woods, there was an open area in front. Before he could turn around and return to the woods, Chu Yunfei and his men caught up with him.

"Batalion Commander, leave quickly!"

The personal soldier fired a shot, trying to give Qian Bojun a chance to escape, but before he could finish his words, Chu Yunfei raised his hand and shot him dead.

Chu Yunfei was a well-known sharpshooter. Qian Bojun knew that he had no chance of survival, so he made up his mind and planned to commit suicide with a gun.

"boom!"

After a gunshot, Qian Bojun covered his hand that was shot through with a bullet and wailed in pain. Chu Yunfei put away his pistol and said coldly, "Take him back to the regiment headquarters!"

"Chu Yunfei! Kill me now if you dare!"

Qian Bojun yelled, "Kill me! Kill me now!"

For Qian Bojun now, death is a form of relief. He knows what will be waiting for him once he returns to the regiment headquarters.

……

One-third of Qian Bojun's battalion of 2,000 men now formed a row of soldiers.

After the team reunited, Wu Zhe began his work, conducting ideological work on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that surrendered later.

After an hour of emotional and logical persuasion, everyone was successfully persuaded to join the team and become a member of the Eighth Route Army.

After Lin Qiang returned to the team, Wu Zhe told him the news immediately.

"What!?"

Lin Qiang exclaimed: "Everyone joined?"

"That's right!"

Hu Zi praised Wu Zhe: "Wu Zhe put in a lot of effort to convince everyone!"

"Okay! Good boy!"

Lin Qiang patted Wu Zhe's shoulder excitedly, and was so happy that he couldn't say a word.

With the addition of more than 800 people, a platoon immediately surpassed the company and battalion level and directly reached the combat strength of a regiment!

Lin Qiang walked at the back of the group. He used his insightful eyes to look around and found no one with second thoughts. He said to Hu Zi beside him, "Damn, these past two days of hard work have finally paid off!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Hu Zi was also very happy: "A team of thousands of people! If Tuan Zi knew about this, he would be so happy!"

"He might not be happy about it."

Lin Qiang laughed and said, "If we report our thousand-man team, how many do you think the captain can retain?"

This reminder made Hu Zi understand instantly.

The two large-scale raids by the Japanese caused heavy losses to the Eighth Route Army. All the teams are currently developing and recovering. A team of thousands of people will report and receive news from the brigade headquarters or even the headquarters the next day.

Disband this thousand-man team and distribute them to other regiments to replenish the troops.

Lin Qiang had thought of this a long time ago. In the original novel, Li Yunlong would not have gathered all the troops if he had not intended to attack the county town.

After all the teams gathered, Li Yunlong realized that he now had a team of over ten thousand people under his command.

This proves that Li Yunlong also knew this, so he did not let his company and battalion commanders report the situation of the team, just to avoid giving the brigade commander a chance to rob.

Hu Zi thought for a moment and asked, "Then we don't need to report it?"

"I won't report it for now."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiang said, "How about this? Send all the equipment that the team has replaced to the regiment headquarters. You and Xu Lang will handle this."
