Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

This question stumped Chu Yunfei.

He never thought that he would leave the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. As long as his superiors did not commit treason, he would regard leaving the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army under any excuse as a betrayal.

In just a blink of an eye, Chu Yunfei had a response: "Platoon Leader Lin, this is exactly the question Chu Mouhe really wants to know."

Lin Qiang guessed this would be the result and responded, "Perhaps I have the same idea as you, Captain Chu."

This sentence completely blocked Chu Yunfei's idea of winning over Lin Qiang. As long as he still wanted to make a fuss about this, Lin Qiang could respond to him in the same way.

After hearing this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but look at Lin Qiang again. He not only underestimated Lin Qiang in combat, but also in strategy.

What a pity to lose such a talented person with strategy!

As the two continued to talk, their admiration and appreciation for each other grew.

Chu Yunfei admired Lin Qiang's ability. It was rare for someone to develop a team to such a level in such a short period of time. He thought he could not do better than Lin Qiang in such a short period of time.

After talking with him, Lin Qiang gained more insights into military matters and had a deeper understanding of the issue of base defense.

In just a few kilometers, Chu Yunfei pointed out half of the fortifications without hesitation and gave a detailed account of their shortcomings.

Lin Qiang was quite educated by this short passage.

This is Chu Yunfei, this is Chu Bangchang!

With his far-sighted strategic vision, his daring hypothetical thinking, and his sharp eyes, he could clearly point out the location of fortifications and existing loopholes with just a few more glances.

When they reached the top of the village, Chu Yunfei stopped and pointed to a ravine at the foot of the mountain. "If we deploy a team there, I can guarantee that without the assistance of planes and tanks, even if I mobilize all my forces, it will cost a huge price to capture this place."

"Platoon Leader Lin, your defensive vision is more far-sighted than I thought. It's a pity that your troops are undermanned and their weapons and equipment are too poor to make this place a fortress."

Everything Chu Yunfei said was true, but he was wrong about one thing. If all the firepower of a platoon was used, even if the 358th Regiment came, the platoon would still be able to fight!

"Captain Chu, this way please."

Lin Qiang brought Chu Yunfei to his cabin and poured him a bowl of hot water from a thermos. "Captain Chu, you see my situation. I really can't offer you tea."

This is to put Chu Yunfei on the shelf, and at the same time Lin Qiang is also paving the way for what will happen later.

Preconceived.

He knew Chu Yunfei wouldn't believe it, but now that things had come to this, he was the commander of an elite unit of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. He couldn't be so aggressive towards a platoon leader of a friendly army, right?

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Yunfei put the water aside and looked around Lin Qiang's wooden house. His eyes finally fell on the blurry map. "This is... Platoon Leader Lin, are you planning to eliminate the Japanese stronghold?"

There are several Japanese strongholds on the map that are highlighted by Lin Qiang, and these strongholds have some common features.

It is very close to the base, and there are not many Japanese and puppet troops stationed there. It is not difficult to take down these strongholds, and there is a lot of profit to be made.

For a row of people, it is a good choice for running in the team.

The new members are all battle-hardened warriors. Their combat capabilities are impeccable, but the overall team coordination is still lacking.

The fact that the Japanese were able to fight all the way to the southern hinterland had a lot to do with their team's combat capabilities.

Lin Qiang also wants to build an elite team, and the first step is to make the team's coordination reach a certain level.

Chu Yunfei was an absolute military talent. Just by taking a look at the locations of the strongholds on the map, he roughly guessed Lin Qiang's intention.

"Yes, I do have this idea."

Lin Qiang deliberately let Chu Yunfei see this. He wanted the other party to know his intentions, so that he would have to restrain himself in this regard.

Lin Qiang glanced at the map and turned back to say, "These locations aren't important to me. What's important is that the strongholds contain what I want. If we can capture a few of these strongholds, at least our team won't starve or freeze during the winter."

Chu Yunfei naturally didn't believe such words. He never underestimated Lin Qiang and said with a smile: "Lin Platoon Leader, capturing these strongholds may not be important to you, but it will be a big loss to the Japanese!"

Chu Yunfei didn't say it directly, and it was impossible for him to directly expose Lin Qiang's true purpose.

However, in his mind, he had already formed a plan to seize these strongholds before Lin Qiang.

He would not really believe what Lin Qiang said. Once the Eighth Route Army occupied these positions, his 358th Regiment's supply transportation team would never be able to go towards Heiyun Village.

The two of them have their own thoughts.

After chatting for a while, Chu Yunfei got straight to the point and said, "To be honest, I came here to get the equipment for my battalion."

After saying that, Chu Yunfei carefully observed Lin Qiang's facial expression.

Lin Qiang remained calm after hearing this and said, "Captain Chu, you've seen the current situation of my platoon. Can it possibly handle the weapons and equipment of an entire battalion?"

Chu Yunfei naturally wouldn't believe this. He knew very well that Lin Qiang had indeed taken away most of the equipment of the first battalion.

Not only that, he also knew that of the nearly 2,000 troops in his battalion, except for the part that had broken away and the rebels who were eliminated along with Qian Bojun, the remaining one-third had all been incorporated by Lin Qiang.

Now that the conversation was over, Chu Yunfei no longer hesitated, "Platoon Leader Lin, everyone has their own ambitions. I won't say anything more about the people you recruited, but this batch of equipment..."

Chu Yunfei didn't say the rest of the words, as he believed Lin Qiang could understand what he meant.

Lin Qiang knew it very well, but he had already thought of a countermeasure. He lowered his head and pretended to drink water, but in fact he was apologizing to the regiment commander Li Yunlong: There is no free lunch in the world, regiment commander, I'm sorry!

"Captain Chu, you may not know what kind of person our captain is."

Lin Qiang said slowly, "Our group is currently in a state of fragmented development. The main reason is that our group leader is too greedy and always wants us to get some benefits in return."

"I'm sorry to hear that. I did bring back some equipment from Dagu Town, but I barely even had time to warm my hands when some bastard tipped off the regiment commander, leading him to send someone to issue a death order that very day."

"Do you know what our regimental commander said? He said, Lin Qiang, your platoon has enough equipment. You don't need any more. Keep some ammunition for yourself, and send the rest to the regimental headquarters. If you dare to say no, it will be treated as disobedience."

"Captain Chu, please give us some justice. This is just hooliganism!"

It’s the regiment commander again. Last time, the equipment of that company was taken away by his regiment commander, and this time it’s the same.

Chu Yunfei is a very cunning man. After hearing what Lin Qiang said, his face couldn't help but twitch.

"Captain Chu, this matter is also my fault. I didn't dare to argue with our captain."

Lin Qiang sighed and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it. A higher rank can crush someone, not to mention that he's the regiment commander, who's several ranks higher than me!"

Chu Yunfei pondered and said, "According to what Platoon Leader Lin said, if I want to get this batch of equipment back, it seems I have to go see your regiment commander!"

"It really is."

Lin Qiang decisively betrayed the regiment commander Li Yunlong: "Our regiment is the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, and the regiment commander is Li Yunlong."

"Li Yunlong?"

Chu Yunfei exclaimed, "Is it Li Yunlong who defeated the Sakata Regiment head-on on Cangyun Ridge?"

Lin Qiang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's him!"

"In that case, Chu will find a time to meet with your leader."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yunfei stood up and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you today. I hope Platoon Leader Lin will forgive me."

"Where there!"

Lin Qiang also stood up and said, "Captain Chu, I'm so glad to see you. How can this be a bother?"

Chu Yunfei recognized Lin Qiang from the bottom of his heart and said with a bow, "Then I will not bother you any more. Let's go back to the regiment headquarters and prepare to meet Captain Li, who can defeat the Sakata Regiment head-on!"

Of course, Lin Qiang would not keep Chu Yunfei for long, and followed him down the mountain.

Looking at Chu Yunfei leaving, Lin Qiang shouted from behind: "Captain Chu, please come visit us often when you have time!"
