"That's right, we came to ask General Chen to help. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info," Zhang Guangzhong said.
"Oh? Can you tell me what it is? Although Chen Jiye knows that the Eighth Route Army will be the mainstream of dealing with him in the future, and now he has the heart to help lay a good foundation for the future, he also knows that he will do what he can, otherwise he will be stupid.
"General Chen, I won't tell you that Shen Xianwu, Liu Guangtian, and others in the eastern part of Tengxian County are very hostile to our volunteers, and have deliberately created friction many times." In fact, at the end of 1937, Shen Xianwu had been incorporated into the 43rd Detachment of the Seventh Column by the Special Brigade of the Kuomintang Military Commission, and served as the detachment leader.
"At the end of last month, Shen Xianwu colluded with the Japanese puppets and led more than 2,000 people to divide and surround our volunteers, but we repulsed. Later, the superiors decided to send our volunteers and the fourth detachment to eliminate this stubborn enemy, and everything went well, and we also conquered Feng Mao, Shen Xianwu's lair, for a time. However, when attacking Dongjiang Village, Liu Guangtian's old nest, Shen Xianwu and Liu Guangtian further colluded with the stubborn forces in the five counties of Teng, Yi, Fei, Zou, and Pei to gradually surround us, and Comrade He Yiping, the political commissar of our volunteer brigade, also died in the battle. Speaking of He Yiping, a touch of melancholy appeared in Zhang Guangzhong's eyes, and he lowered his head slightly.
Guo Hongtao knew that Zhang Guangzhong thought that He Yiping was in a bad mood, so he took over and said.
"So we came today to implore General Chen to help us eliminate these stubborn enemies and restore peace to the five counties of Tengyi."
Originally, in the face of the gradual approach of the stubborn enemy in the five counties, the reinforcements of the volunteers and the fourth detachment had reached a very difficult point, Guo Hongtao was ready to take the fourth detachment back, but Zhang Guangzhong remembered Chen Jiye from Zaozhuang nearby, so he took Guo Hongtao over to try it and ask Chen Jiye to help.
After all, he didn't want Comrade He Yiping, secretary of the county party committee, to sacrifice in vain, and at the same time, he didn't want the enemy to continue to run rampant, otherwise the future work of their volunteer team would be very difficult.
Guo Hongtao also didn't want to go back like this, as soon as he heard Zhang Guangzhong talk about the friendship left by Chen Jiye last time he sent the gun, as well as some of Chen Jiye's recent deeds, he wanted to come and take a look.
Similarly, Guo Hongtao still had the intention to win Chen Jiye into their revolutionary ranks, after all, Chen Jiye had thousands of soldiers under him who could fight well, which was exactly what their anti-Japanese team in southern Lunan lacked.
As soon as Chen Jiye heard this, he understood that there must be the shadow of the national * army behind Shen Xianwu and Liu Guangtian, after all, how could ordinary landlords entangle so many people and dare to confront the No. 2 force in the country, and Lao Jiang liked to engage in friction the most in the War of Resistance, otherwise how could there be a 40-year incident in southern Anhui.
Chen Jiye is also not happy about the practices of these despicable villains such as Shen Xianwu and Liu Guangtian, and there are these villains of Lao Jiang on his own territory, he is also afraid that Lao Jiang will yin him, and these people led by Shen Xianwu are all relatively large households in the surrounding five counties, and Chen Jiye has no net income for a long time, so it is appropriate to help them with this excuse.
Chen Jiye said very simply.
"No problem!"
Seeing Chen Jiye so simply, the two of them couldn't believe their ears, and the first thing they thought in their minds was what Chen Jiye's intentions were?
However, they are poor and white, and they can't take out what people covet at all, and the situation of the volunteers has reached the point where it cannot be delayed, as soon as Chen Jiye agreed, both of them thanked at the same time.
"Thank you, General Chen."
"Okay, I know that your current situation is very serious, you two should explain the specific situation first, and then I will decide how many people to bring to send troops."
"General Chen, there are about 3,000 diehards such as Shen Xianwu at present, and our two troops are surrounded by them in Zhuangli Village on the other side of the Xue River."
"Three thousand? And what about their armament? ā
"There are two heavy machine guns, and more than a dozen light machine guns, and the rest are some long guns and short guns."
"Do they have any cannons?"
The two looked at each other, then shook their heads and said.
"Nope."
"Oh, I see." Chen Jiye touched his chin and said, and then instructed Chen Facai beside him.
"Ah Cai, order Lai Si's second brigade, Niu Da to transfer a company, Li Erxuan to transfer an artillery battalion, Yang Sancai to transfer a company, quickly assemble, and set off immediately!"
"Yes, young master!" After saying that, Chen Facai hurriedly ran down to convey the order, although Chen Facai is now a brigade commander, in charge of more than 3,000 people, but he still likes to stay by Chen Jiye's side when he has nothing to do.
"You two, you wait a while, I'll talk to my family, and I'll go with you!"
"It's okay, General Chen, we're not in a hurry for a while." Now that Chen Jiye has agreed to help, the big stone in the hearts of the two has finally fallen.
Then Chen Jiye immediately told his family about the situation, and originally led the troops out to fight, but the five-person party led by the Chen family definitely did not agree, but after Chen Jiye got Chen Jizu, he won 2-5 directly.
At the same time, the Chen family also understands that it is not easy for Chen Jiye to support the Chen family. Although the Chen family still has millions of silver dollars, Chen Jiye now has a division, and his monthly military salary is forty or fifty thousand, plus some of Chen Jiye's benefits and rewards, at most two or three years will consume a penny, so there must be an income, otherwise how can he feed tens of thousands of subordinates just by relying on the rent of Zaozhuang Yicheng?
If Chen Jiye wants to go out, the guard battalion will definitely follow, and it will be the first to assemble quickly.
In less than half an hour, more than 5,000 people from the Second Infantry Brigade, a firepower company, a reconnaissance company, an artillery battalion, and Chen Jiye's guard battalion had been assembled.
When Chen Jiye's troops were assembled, Guo Hongtao and Zhang Guangzhong finally saw what it means to be a soldier and a nobleman, if they were the Eighth Route Army or the National Army, they would not have gathered so many troops in more than half an hour. At the same time, the two of them were blinded by the weapons and equipment of Chen Jiye's subordinates, and they almost couldn't stand it anymore.
There were several light and heavy machine guns at a glance, and an artillery battalion actually had 12 92 infantry guns, and the flower machine guns were even more numerous.
Oh my boy, how powerful is this?
At the same time, the two also sighed in their hearts, if only they had such weapons and equipment.
However, with this support army, Guo Hongtao and Zhang Guangzhong no longer have to worry about the current situation of the volunteers.
After the troops were assembled, Lai Si immediately ran to Chen Jiye and said a little excitedly.
"Young master, where are you going to do this time?" Lai Si is now obsessed with fighting, if he doesn't fight for a month, the whole person will feel uncomfortable, and sometimes he even pretends to take out the military map and sand table to look east and west, and nod from time to time, it seems to be like a magic stick.
"Lai Si'er, the goal this time is not to be a little devil, but to do our friendly army a small favor."
"Allies? Help? "From the time they got the guns, it was Chen Jiye who led them to fight, and he never asked others to help, so Lai Si was very puzzled about who the friendly army was referring to?
"Okay, don't ask too much, listen to orders." Chen Jiye ordered directly.
"Yes, young master!"
"Are the troops assembled?"
"Young master, all the troops have arrived and are ready to go."
"Very good, order the reconnaissance company to set off first to investigate the situation, and the rest of the troops will advance towards Zhuangli Village."
"Yes!" After saying that, Lai Si ran down to command the troops.
Later, after Chen Jiye told the most trusted Chen Facai to keep Zaozhuang, he said to Guo Hongtao and the others.
"Two, we're ready to go."
As soon as Chen Jiye spoke, the two people who were still in shock reacted and said.
"Oh! Oh! ā
Subsequently, under the eyes of his parents, wife and children, Chen Jiye led thousands of people towards Xuehe Zhuangli Village.
