Chapter 192: The New 6th Army

This time he planned to go to Chongqing to meet Lao Jiang, Ye Feng had his own plans, and the purpose of this trip was mainly to find Lao Jiang and ask for an army establishment.

At present, the Hangzhou area is all under the control of the independent division, and the area and population are many times larger than that of Shannan County in the past; after the conscription work, the independent division will certainly expand its troops; now, the establishment of a division of 20,000 or 30,000 people is a bit huge, and if the number of troops is expanded again, it is obviously inappropriate to still have the establishment of a division.

Ye Feng had a secret conversation with Lao Jiang last time and reached some deals, this time, in order to get the establishment of an army, Ye Feng was ready to make some deals with Lao Jiang again.

Several batches of medicines produced by the Shannan County Pharmaceutical Factory have been delivered to the Third War Zone, which was promised to Lao Jiang by Ye Feng during the last secret talks in Chongqing.

There are wars going on everywhere in the country, and all kinds of medicines are extremely precious, among which penicillin is more expensive than gold, and Ye Feng promised to give Lao Jiang 100,000 penicillin.

This time, preparing to go to Chongqing again, Ye Feng had his own plans in his heart.

……

On September 21, Zhao Long led the main force of the Sword Special Combat Team back to Hangzhou safely, and Chen Ruoyun was also passing.

Ye Feng and Chen Ruoyun were overjoyed to see each other.

Ye Feng personally went to the north of Hangzhou to greet everyone, Chen Ruoyun was dressed in military uniform, heroic and cool, seeing Ye Feng who came to greet him, his eyes were slightly red, and he threw himself directly into Ye Feng's arms, crying with joy.

At noon, a group of high-ranking officials of the Independent Division specially hosted a banquet to welcome the special combat members.

After Chen Ruoyun came to Hangzhou, he was no longer ready to leave. In the future, he will serve in the headquarters of the independent division, and the independent division will come forward to solve the problem by official documents such as the transfer.

After the special combat team returned to Hangzhou, they rested for three days. Three days later, Ye Feng took Zhao Long, Long Yi, and personally selected ten special combat members, and everyone quietly left Hangzhou City and went to Chongqing.

Before leaving Hangzhou, Ye Feng made arrangements for all the follow-up matters. Explain the relevant personnel to be responsible, and when Ye Feng left, he was dressed in civilian clothes. Several high-level officials of the independent division went to the north of the city to see Ye Feng leave in a low-key manner.

Long Yi led five special combat team members as a squad and set off first, everyone was also dressed in civilian clothes, Ye Feng took Zhao Long. and five other special operators who followed as a squad. The distance between the two teams is about half a day.

Between the two squads, contact is made via a small radio station.

The journey was relatively smooth, arriving in Chongqing in early October.

This time to meet Lao Jiang, Ye Feng was more fully prepared, and last time he had a certain amount of experience, Ye Feng seemed to be familiar with the car, Lao Jiang personally received Ye Feng, and the two talked secretly for more than an hour in Lao Jiang's official residence. The talks were very secret, and no one knew what the two had talked about. What agreements were reached.

In this secret talk, Ye Feng completely achieved his goal, Ye Feng was awarded the general of the national army, and in addition, he also got the number of a new 6th Army, and the independent division could be justifiably expanded into the new 6th Army.

However, Ye Feng also paid some price.

Lao Chiang asked Ye Feng for 40 105mm American howitzers, 20 million rounds of 7.92mm Mauser rifle rounds, and another 100,000 penicillin.

In addition to these, Ye Feng had to promise Lao Jiang to send a few cronies over to serve in the new 6th Army as deputy commanders, or division commanders and deputy division commanders of subordinate divisions.

Lao Jiang is also a smart person, he doesn't want a strong local warlord to appear, in order to strengthen his control over the new 6th Army, Lao Jiang sent these people over to take important positions, according to Lao Jiang's plan, even if the new 6th Army is strong in the future, as long as these people are there to hold these important positions, Ye Feng's rights will be restricted, and the new 6th Army is still a force under the control of Lao Jiang.

This item is very important to Lao Jiang, if Ye Feng does not agree to this, Lao Jiang will definitely not give Ye Feng an army establishment, after all, when Ye Feng returned to Hangzhou, he was suspected of disobedience.

Fortunately, Hangzhou was successfully recovered, and the two divisions of the Japanese army were annihilated, which greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the military and people across the country for the war of resistance, otherwise, Lao Jiang would definitely deal with Ye Feng.

Regarding Lao Jiang's request to send someone over to serve as an important post in the new 6th Army, Ye Feng readily agreed, Lao Jiang would never have thought that Ye Feng had a Nuwa system that defied the sky, and at present, a large number of senior officers in the independent division were from the Nuwa system, and they were absolutely loyal to Ye Feng.

After staying in Chongqing for a few days, when Ye Feng left Chongqing, he had an extra letter of appointment in his pocket, which had Lao Jiang's autograph and the bright red seal of the Ministry of National Defense.

Before leaving Chongqing, Ye Feng sent the news back to Hangzhou and asked Guo Weiquan, Chu Tianyuan, Liu Yongyan, and others who stayed at home to pay close attention to the construction of military facilities and the recruitment of soldiers.

As for the two lieutenant generals who will serve in the newly formed 6th Army, the three major generals will be selected immediately, and they will first report to the Third War Zone, and then go to Hangzhou, not to return to Hangzhou with Ye Feng and others.

Ye Feng completely achieved the purpose of this trip, in Lao Jiang's opinion, forty heavy guns, 20 million rounds of ammunition, and a large number of medicines are already a lot of money, just the establishment of an army, Lao Jiang does not need to pay a penny, nor does he need to pay a gun or a bullet.

In addition, given the establishment of an army, Lao Jiang also had an explanation in front of the people of the whole country, the independent division is a heroic unit, not only recovered Hangzhou, but also annihilated so many Japanese troops, and achieved such great achievements, if Lao Chiang really does not give something practical, after a long time, it will inevitably be discussed by people all over the country.

In Lao Jiang's own opinion, not only did he make a lot of money, but he also killed three birds with one stone, he did not get a large amount of equipment and medicines urgently needed by the front-line troops, but also gave an explanation to the people of the whole country.

More importantly, the fact that so many cronies have joined the new 6th Army to hold important positions has increased their control over the new 6th Army.

Because of this, after thinking about it again, Lao Jiang gave Ye Feng an army establishment and promoted Ye Feng to general of the national army.

All this, in Ye Feng's opinion, was nothing, and compared with the establishment of this army that he urgently needed, it was insignificant, so the two quickly reached an agreement, and both sides felt very satisfied.

There is no shortage of 105mm howitzers, and the medicines are fully capable of providing them, and these medicines will definitely be used on the soldiers of the anti-Japanese forces on the front line in the future, and Ye Feng is willing to provide a little more.

As for placing such a few people in his own army, Ye Feng didn't pay attention to it at all, Ye Feng believed that the new 6th Army General in the future would still be centered on himself and would still be monolithic.

Ye Feng left Chongqing satisfied, and on the day of leaving, Ye Feng even resigned to Lao Jiang, who sent a lieutenant general to send Ye Feng and others out of Chongqing.

Ye Feng returned to Hangzhou, and the journey was relatively smooth, but when he passed through the south of Anhui, he encountered some things.

In late October, the sky in the south is still good, the autumn is high and cool, the temperature of more than ten or twenty degrees, the eyes are full of thick autumn colors, and many places where Ye Feng passes by are good scenery.

Along the way, if you have a car, you will take a car, and if you don't have a car, you will ride a horse, and it will be the same today, Ye Feng is dressed as a businessman, riding a high-headed horse, taking Zhao Long, and five special combat team members, and walking slowly along a country road.

Just now, everyone had already ridden for at least ten kilometers, and now, slowing down, Zhao Long took out the map, rode on horseback and followed behind Ye Feng while looking at the map, and walked slowly.

"Junzuo, there are still more than 20 kilometers ahead of Rongcheng in southern Anhui, should we go into the city to rest." Zhao Long looked at the map and said.

Rongcheng is a medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands, however, the city has fallen and is occupied by the Japanese army, and many Japanese troops are stationed in the city.

Now, Zhao Long calls Ye Feng a military seat when there are no outsiders, and calls Ye Feng the boss when there are outsiders.

Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "It's noon soon, let's see if there is a town in front of us, let's go to the town to solve the problem of lunch first." ”

"Junza, there is a small town in front of us about the seventh or eighth highway, if we are faster, we can reach this town in half an hour."

Ye Feng looked at the surrounding terrain, this is obviously not a plain terrain, it is surrounded by low hills and hills, and the trail he rode forward on horseback was only one or two meters wide, Ye Feng pinched the horse's belly and sped up his speed.

Only two or three kilometers ahead, Ye Feng heard bursts of gunfire, the gunshots were very mixed, mixed with a few explosions, the sound came from Ye Feng's right side, and the distance would not be very far.

Seeing that there was a battle, Ye Feng dismounted and said to everyone: "There is a situation, everyone follow me to take a look." ”

Everyone dismounted one after another, temporarily tied the horses to a vacant lot not far from the road, Ye Feng took everyone, holding weapons, and trotted all the way in the direction where the sound came from, and a few minutes later, Ye Feng climbed a small hill, and on the top of the mountain, Ye Feng saw the two sides of the war.

On the hillside a few hundred meters ahead, there were a large number of soldiers wearing blue cloth uniforms, this force was numerous, at least several hundred, but the weapons were relatively backward, there were few machine guns, and the weapons were also varied, all kinds of weapons, even bird guns, broadswords and spears.

The soldiers' military uniforms are also relatively shabby, and some soldiers do not even have military uniforms, but wear the clothes of ordinary people, and only wear a military hat and leggings, indicating that they are a warrior.

This could be a unit of the New Fourth Army.

The exchange of fire with this force was a unit of little devils, about the size of a squadron, in a small valley at the bottom of the hillside, exchanging fire with this New Fourth Army unit.

Ye Feng only glanced at it, and immediately saw that this New Fourth Army unit had obviously been ambushed here a long time ago, with the purpose of ambushing this little devil army, and under the hillside was a relatively wide road, this little devil army might be passing by here.

Although the number of this New Fourth Army unit is several times that of the little devils, the level of weapons and equipment is too poor, and in the case of occupying a favorable geographical position, it is only on a par with the little devils.
