Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 99: Discussion in the City, Borrowing Troops

"You made quite a splash today. Guangyi said you wiped out another seven or eight squadrons of the Japanese."

A group of people sat down one after another, and Liao Lei was the first to start the conversation.

Luo Zhuoying was still looking at Gu Changfeng. He had originally planned to go to the defense zone for inspection.

As a result, Liao Lei said that he had a very interesting acquaintance, so he took him along.

The more he listened, the more shocked he became, and his eyes became different.

Liao Lei noticed Luo Zhuoying's expression and said with a smile, "By the way, Brother Luo, let me introduce you."

"This guy's name is Gu Changfeng. He joined my army during the attack on Juzaobang."

"Just two people, in that siege, almost wiped out an entire battalion of Japanese soldiers."

Then he asked Gu Changfeng, "What about your other brother? Why don't I see him?"

"He went to Brother Liao's place!" Gu Changfeng said briefly.

Although he didn't know who this General Luo was, he couldn't be too bad since he held the rank of general.

Judging from the situation, he is at least the head of an army.

Luo Zhuoying asked seriously, "Brother Liao, I've also read Commander Wang's report. Are you sure it's this guy? He's so young?"

Liao Lei said happily: "It's this guy. I was also shocked when I read the report before, but now I think it's this guy, I'm not surprised anymore."

After receiving a positive response, Luo Zhuoying said directly to Gu Changfeng, "Boy, are you willing to join the 19th Army? I'll give you the position of division commander."

It was very direct, so direct that Gu Changfeng didn't know how to respond.

Liao Lei was amused and smiled without saying anything. He had known for a long time that Gu Changfeng would not join any army.

If you really want to do it, you need to put some thought into it.

There is a way to treat talents, and Liao Lei is not stupid.

"By the way, Gu kid, let me introduce you. This General Luo's full name is Luo Zhuoying. I believe you have heard of him!"

"The current commander-in-chief of the 19th Route Army is indeed capable of giving you the position of division commander. Would you like to consider it?"

Liao Lei said jokingly.

Gu Changfeng understood. Although he had never seen a photo of this general before, he had heard a lot about his deeds.

From the Battle of Shanghai to the Expedition to India and Burma, it can be said that in the Kuomintang’s historical records, this bespectacled general also belonged to a class of people with outstanding military achievements.

When Luo Zhuoying heard what Liao Lei said, he was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that Commander Liao would actually say such a thing.

In fact, he regretted what he said as soon as he said it.

Liao Lei is more familiar with Gu Changfeng, but he didn't say anything, but I spoke first. This is indeed inappropriate and feels like poaching.

Gu Changfeng looked at Liao Lei, shook his head hurriedly and said, "Sir Liao, stop joking with me!"

"I like to fight the devils freely, and you can't stand the habit."

"What habit?" Liao Lei asked.

"There are almost no prisoners in my team. No matter if they are big or small, we kill them all."

"Besides, I'm always running around, almost without any stability. What army can stand that?"

Gu Changfeng explained.

There is another reason he didn't mention. As someone who grew up under the red flag of our party, how could he possibly join the ranks of the Kuomintang? That would be a slap in the face!

If he really joins, how will he handle things in the future?

Although there is nothing wrong with joining the Kuomintang to fight the Japanese, Gu Changfeng really doesn't like many of the Kuomintang's trends.

After listening to Gu Changfeng's explanation, several people fell silent.

After a while, Liao Lei said jokingly, "You have a strong desire to kill."

"If you don't want to join, then don't join. But you have to help this time. We are under a lot of pressure here."

Gu Changfeng heard this, thought for a while and said:

"I was originally planning to just get some supplies and evacuate, but the losses this time are quite heavy, and I still have to prepare for the Nanjing battlefield!"

"But since Commander Liao has said so, I won't refuse. I just have one condition I hope you can agree to."

He thought that since he hadn't caused any trouble for the Shigeto Detachment yet, this was a good time to propose some conditions.

"I don't have any weapons. We are still short of them. Please tell me the other conditions." Liao Lei said directly.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "On the contrary, I have no shortage of weapons and ammunition. What I lack is manpower. Please lend me some."

Liao Lei was stunned, and Luo Zhuoying also looked at Gu Changfeng in surprise.

Gu Changfeng explained: "It's very easy to get the Japanese weapons. I also hid a batch of weapons in the reed marshes of Shajiabang, which were also robbed from the Japanese."

These words made the two generals look at each other in surprise. The tone was indeed a bit too arrogant.

But when you think about the fact that this guy killed seven or eight squadrons of Japanese soldiers in one night, this is nothing.

Liao Lei asked, "How many troops do you want?"

"I don't want a lot, just give me about 1000, and I'll go around and cause trouble for the Japanese." Gu Changfeng said.

He really didn't want to fight against a large group of Japanese troops, the kind of one-to-one or two-to-one fight.

To him, it's just a matter of killing people, which is meaningless.

"Deal with the weapons yourself. You still have a bunch hidden away, which is perfect."

Liao Lei said that there were quite a few defeated soldiers gathered in the city, so it would not be a bad idea to give some to Gu Changfeng.

Although he is short of people, the shortage is not that severe. What he mainly needs is weapons.

At this moment, even the several German-equipped divisions of the Central Army were in trouble, let alone them.

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "No problem." After that, he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Liao Lei smiled and said, "Kid, if you have anything else to say, just tell me. Put forward all the conditions, and I will help you solve them if I can agree to them."

He was looking forward to Gu Changfeng's performance. Based on this kid's past record, he didn't know what kind of results he would achieve on this battlefield.

Gu Changfeng shook his head and said, "Nothing else, but I would like to trouble you two commanders not to report my presence!"

"Also, I'll contact you if anything happens. It's best not to expose my team's whereabouts!"

The KMT is now like a sieve, and there is no benefit in exposing it.

Liao Lei glanced at Gu Changfeng and said, "You kid, you still don't trust me."

He said with a wry smile: "Brother Luo, let's report it together after the fight is over!"

He knew that there were indeed many problems within the party and understood Gu Changfeng's concerns, so he agreed directly.

If we can kill more devils and relieve their pressure, it won't be a big deal.

Luo Zhuoying thought for a moment and said, "We still have to prioritize the overall situation. You don't have to send a telegram, but it's best to tell us your plans."

Liao Lei also looked at Gu Changfeng and wanted to listen.

Gu Changfeng said: "You don't have to worry about me, but you'd better pay attention to the defense of Beiyu Mountain in case the Japanese invade."

"From a high position, your mission to defend Changshu is basically over."

"As for me, I can't even say where I'm going right now, so let's talk about it tomorrow!"

He really hasn't thought it through yet, and it's not that he's deliberately not saying it. He's actually planning to cause trouble for the Shigeto Detachment.

Liao Lei said disdainfully, "You don't need to tell me about this, we've already arranged it."

After hearing Gu Changfeng's reminder, Luo Zhuoying thought carefully and looked at Liao Lei and said:

"What this kid said makes sense. Let's strengthen our defense!"

Liao Lei thought about it again and felt that he still had to put some pressure on Gu Changfeng, so he said.

"We don't care how you fight, but we'll leave the troops to you. You have to destroy at least two battalions of Japanese soldiers for me."

"This shouldn't be a big deal to you."

Seeing the conditions, Gu Changfeng said directly: "Two teams are no problem, leave it to me."

Liao Lei was satisfied and immediately gave the military radio station contact information to Gu Changfeng.

After Gu Changfeng left, Luo Zhuoying asked, "Brother Liao, are you just going to let this guy go?"

"Brother Luo, this kid has to go along with me. Before, he was afraid that I would detain him, so he just left without saying goodbye. This time, we can't let him get away."

Liao Lei smiled like an old fox.

"Oh? What are you going to do?" Luo Zhuoying asked in confusion.

Liao Lei waved his hand, indicating that he couldn't say anything.

A few days later, an independent battalion inexplicably appeared in his combat sequence, and the battalion commander was Gu Changfeng.

Of course, this is another story.
