"You are?" Liu Gen looked at the officer who had spoken, and could see the contempt in his eyes.

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, he turned his head to look at the officer who had the audacity to speak, a little helpless, he knew that these artillery officers would have some twists and turns when they saw Liu Gen. On the way here, Chu Yunfei had heard that these artillery officers were dissatisfied with Liu Gen's achievements, and even if they were ordered to come to communicate, they didn't think that Liu Gen's ability was strong.

Especially when he saw Liu Gen so young, the artillery officers in the Jin Sui Army Exchange Regiment felt more and more that Liu Gen's previous achievements were entirely due to his good luck.

The artillery officers in the Jin Sui army who came to exchange were all over 30 years old, and compared with Liu Gen, their age was undoubtedly much worse. But in terms of the results they have achieved, they can't compare with Liu Gen at all, which makes them a little suspicious of Liu Gen's falsification, and they don't think that Liu Gen will really be so powerful.

The artillery officer's opening was to see how strong Liu Gen really was, and to find a certain basis for their conjecture.

"I'm the major battalion commander of the Jinsui Army Artillery Regiment, Du Jie."

"Before entering the exchange group, our Second Theater Commander Yan kept saying that there was an artillery genius in the Eighth Route Army, which was very powerful! Fighter planes that once knocked down devils! ”

"But now that I see you, I feel a little unworthy of the name, in you, I don't see any temperament that belongs to artillery, let alone that you have enough strength!" Du Jie said without changing his face. Before he spoke, Du Jie was prepared enough, and kept saying that Liu Gen's skills were good, but if he was more powerful than Liu Gen after competing with Liu Gen, then he would also receive more attention.

Du Jie is a major battalion commander, and he has also performed very well in many battles, and his artillery skills are also among the best in their artillery regiment.

In Du Jie's opinion, Liu Gen's strength must be exaggerated, with Liu Gen's age, even if he has some strength, how powerful can he be? Du Jie clearly knew that when he was Liu Gen's age, he didn't have too strong artillery skills at all, to be precise, at that time, he was still a novice.

"Oh? Without the temperament that belongs to artillery? What is the temperament of an artilleryman? Could it be that he is like Camp Commander Du with sharp teeth and sharp mouth? Liu Gen said directly and mercilessly.

Liu Gen can see that Du Jie has a lot of fat on his body, maybe Du Jie's artillery skills are good, but he must be negligent in training on weekdays, otherwise with the training strength of artillery, it is impossible to have so much fat! Liu Gen didn't have to think about it, he could guess Du Jie's thoughts, it was nothing more than that he felt that he was more powerful than himself.

"Humph! Honest and untrustworthy! ”

"Aren't your artillery skills very good? If that's how, then let's compare it? Du Jie no longer hesitated, and said with a look of annoyance.

The brigade commander on the side looked at all this, with a faint smile on his face, and he didn't have the slightest idea of opening his mouth to stop it. The brigade commander clearly knows Liu Gen's strength, and believes that Liu Gen will not have any problems, if there is too much artillery in the Jin Sui army, then the Jin Sui army will definitely be exposed in the battle with the devil.

"I don't have a problem, but I need to ask our brigade commander for permission to do so." Liu Gen said indifferently.

Liu Gen knew that the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group would definitely not settle down when they came to the 386 Brigade for exchanges, and as the Jin Sui Army, they would not easily look down on the Eighth Route Army. After all, whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment or the training of soldiers, the Jin Sui army is much stronger. Knowing the Jin Suijun exchange group, then Liu Gen didn't think about communicating with them peacefully, and if he didn't convince them, then it would be difficult to continue this exchange.

If you want this exchange to continue, then Liu Gen needs to defeat the arrogance of these Jin Sui Army officers, and let them clearly understand the changes in the Eighth Route Army, so that they can be restrained.

In Liu Gen's view, this kind of communication between the two sides actually doesn't have much effect, even if you can learn something from these people, I'm afraid it won't be too much. Of course, it is now an anti-Japanese war, and in order to be able to fight jointly with the Jin Sui army, it is still very necessary to communicate.

Besides, once the Eighth Route Army rejected the idea that the Jin Sui Army wanted to communicate, then I don't know what Commander Yan of the Second Theater would think.

"Naturally, there is no problem, I will have someone arrange a time for the two of you to have a good exchange."

"Is there anything else you want to communicate with Liu Gen? If you have one, come along, otherwise it will be very troublesome if this situation occurs again. The brigade commander asked with a smile.

The other artillery officers in the exchange group did not make any moves, they clearly knew Du Jie's ability, and compared to Du Jie, they were not much stronger. If Du Jie defeats Liu Gen in the exchange, then naturally there will be no problem, but if he can't defeat Liu Gen, it is useless to go to more people.

"Brigade commander, it seems that there is no more, it seems that I can only communicate with Battalion Commander Du." Liu Gen looked at the other artillery officers in the exchange group and said with some pity.

Chu Yunfei's eyes were fixed on Liu Gen, and he could see that Liu Gen's eyes were full of confidence, as if he was not worried that he would lose to Du Jie at all. Things have come to this point, everyone knows what the communication between Liu Gen and Du Jie means, Du Jie loses, at most it is just a loss of face. And if Liu Gen loses, then the problem will be very serious, and it will easily affect Liu Gen's reputation, and then have a certain impact on the image of the Eighth Route Army.

"Brigadier, lunch is ready." Xiao Li walked in from outside and reported to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander nodded, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen of the Jin Sui Army, we have prepared everyone's lunch, and the things to exchange will be put after lunch." I'm sure everyone is hungry too. ”

The officers in the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group naturally have no opinions, and in the face of the brigade commander, they are all quite respectful, and they who have fought with the devil clearly know that the devil's combat effectiveness is very strong. However, the 386 Brigade led by the brigade commander won many victories in the battle with the devils, which they could not compare.

Lunch is very simple, even if it is to entertain the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group, the brigade cooking class does not cook too many good meals, it is an ordinary dish, and the only difference may be that there are one or two more dishes than before.

Seeing that the lunch was so simple, many officers of the Jinsui Army Exchange Group were a little dissatisfied, they didn't expect that the lunch served by the Eighth Route Army would be so bad, and it was better to bring some canned food early. It's okay to have a few dishes, but the food is still wowotou, how can they stand it? You must know that these officers eat big white steamed buns on weekdays, and their living standards are much better than those of the Eighth Route Army.

"Isn't there a white-flour steamed bun? That's too basic, isn't it? ”

"yes, yes!"

“……”

The officers of the Jin Sui Army Exchange Group talked a lot, they sat at the table, suspecting that the 386 Brigade was deliberate, but when they saw that the brigade commander naturally picked up the nest head to eat, they realized that they were wrong. From the extremely natural movements of the brigade commander, these officers can see that the brigade commander does not eat less on weekdays, which makes them all a little silent, even the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army is used to eating these meals, and the living standard of the Eighth Route Army is inevitably too low.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say it, I always thought that the Eighth Route Army was difficult, but it wasn't too difficult!"

"But now, I found that in the battle with the devils, your Eighth Route Army also paid a lot! When I return, I must ask my soldiers to send you some supplies to show my support for your army's war of resistance. Chu Yunfei said with a sincere expression.

Chu Yunfei also knew that the situation of the Eighth Route Army was very difficult, especially in the past six months, the devils had been sweeping the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and the three-light policy implemented by the devils in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army made Chu Yunfei, who clearly knew the specific situation, take the initiative to send troops to fight against the devil troops several times. It's just that because the devils have extremely strong combat effectiveness, coupled with the lack of enough troops to cooperate, Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment has not achieved much success.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the Jin Sui Army is undoubtedly much better, and the devils have not taken the initiative to attack the Jin Sui Army many times. Chu Yunfei didn't know the specific situation, but he also knew that the fact that the Jin Suijun was able to be treated like this by the devils was related to the order given by the commander of the devil's first army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, who wanted to win Yan Xishan's support politically.

Chu Yunfei is just a regiment leader in the Jin Sui Army, and he can't do anything, let alone have no right to speak. What's more, for Chu Yunfei, he is a soldier, and it is his duty to obey orders, as long as there is no big change in the upper echelons, then he will maintain enough loyalty. After Chu Yunfei took over the 358th Regiment, the materials he needed had been replenished in a timely manner, which was completely the treatment only available to the main regiment in the Jin Sui Army.

"Then thank you Commander Chu, we also want to get something good to greet everyone, but there is no way, our Eighth Route Army is too poor, and we can't come up with anything good."

"Wait until the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance, and if there is a chance at that time, I will invite everyone to eat good food." Brigade Commander Chen spoke.

Du Jie picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, and couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, your army should have supplies from the Chongqing government every month, with those materials, how can it be so difficult?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Jie felt the others look at her in unison, which made her realize that the question she was asking was extremely stupid. With the relationship between the Chongqing government and the Eighth Route Army, it is true that the united front resists Japan, but it is undoubtedly impossible for the Eighth Route Army to get enough supplies.

Liu Gen looked at Du Jie and was a little more friendly to him, at least this Du Jie still knew how to ask this question. Liu Gen believes that there must be many people in the Jin Suijun exchange group who are aware of this problem, but they all choose to be blind and will not ask questions easily, let alone on such occasions.

"Everyone should also know the specific situation, we don't have the luxury of getting supplies from the Chongqing government, it's too difficult, and our Eighth Route Army still has to rely on ourselves."

"Our Eighth Route Army can't close you, if your Jin Sui Army is raised by your own mother, our Eighth Route Army is raised by your stepmother. How high can you ask of your stepmother? If you want to drink milk and scream twice, you will be slapped if you don't do it. The brigade commander said directly.

The officers present were silent, they all understood what the brigade commander meant, and they all understood the brigade commander's attitude. In terms of resisting Japan, the Eighth Route Army has always been fighting in the rear of the devils, involving a lot of troops of the devils, especially in the 100-regiment battle organized in 40 years, which strongly supported the battle of the front-line national army. However, the Eighth Route Army, which fought so bravely, could not get enough supplies, and it can be said that it is not easy for the Eighth Route Army to develop until now.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yunfei opened his mouth and said: "The situation of the Chongqing government, I Chu Yunfei is not clear, but I can be sure that as long as your army needs it in the future, then our 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will definitely help without hesitation!" ”

The other officers also spoke one after another, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future, and it was still possible to give a promise to help each other.

After the commander of the Devil's North China Front Army was replaced by Okamura Ningji, these officers of the Jin Sui Army could feel the changes in the areas occupied by the Devils, and they all had a lot of sense of crisis. Now give a promise to help each other, if they are really attacked by devils, then they can also open their mouths to ask for help from the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

"Good! Then I'm here to thank you! ”

"As long as it's a devil, then our Eighth Route Army will definitely not have any excuses!" The brigade commander said in a firm voice.

After lunch, the brigade commander took the Jinsui Army Exchange Group to the brigade artillery team, and Liu Gen was among them. Next, the contest between Liu Gen and Du Jie was put by the brigade commander on the artillery training ground, such a good opportunity is naturally for the soldiers of the artillery team to see, and the brigade commander will not let go of any opportunity that can allow the soldiers to be promoted.

In the morning, Xiao Li told Ning Ze, the captain of the artillery team, the news that Liu Gen and Du Jie were going to compete, and it was precisely because of this that Ning Ze would stop the afternoon training of the soldiers and make room for the competition between Liu Gen and the two. Ning Ze was particularly shocked when he knew that someone dared to compete with Liu Gen, the old captain, he didn't expect that there would be someone who would have the courage to dare to compete with his old captain.

But after knowing that Du Jie was an artillery officer of the Jin Sui Army, Ning Ze understood, no wonder someone would dare to compete with Liu Gen, it turned out that it was not the artillery of his own army. Ning Ze was sure that if the artillerymen in the Eighth Route Army unit would not have any idea of competing with Liu Gen at all, they all knew how strong Liu Gen's strength was.

Regarding the contest between Liu Gen and Du Jie, Ning Ze felt that Liu Gen could win without thinking about it, and he had blind admiration for Liu Gen.

Considering that some of the recruits of the artillery team had never seen Liu Gen, the veteran captain, make a move, Ning Ze chose to organize the soldiers of the artillery team to watch this contest, and strive to let the soldiers of the artillery team learn something.
