Chapter 14: Rewards from the Provincial City

It is necessary to sum up the battle, and only when problems are found in the summary can we solve them, and only after the most difficult can the combat effectiveness of the troops be enhanced.

The effect of this battle is obvious, first of all, for Chen Feng, his prestige as a commander in the army was quickly established, and every officer and soldier who talked about Chen Feng was admired by him.

In addition, the troops completely annihilated the Saibei horse bandits, and the common people in the area under their jurisdiction also praised each other, and the troops quickly established their prestige in Xinghe County, and it was much easier to recruit soldiers and collect donations, and the attitude of those squires towards the security regiment also changed dramatically.

10,000 oceans, 20,000 catties of grain, although the amount is not much, spread on the more than 30 squires in the city, each person is only 300 oceans, but this is enough to show the status of the security regiment in their minds. The security team went out to rescue the beloved daughter of County Magistrate Feng this time, and County Magistrate Feng was grateful to Chen Feng for the security regiment, and Feng Kaishan assured Chen Feng that as long as it was the food and salary of the security regiment, the county government would never deduct a penny.

In addition, there was news from the provincial capital, after receiving the good news from Xinghe County, Chairman Fu Zuoyi was overjoyed, and learned that the security regiment had used rudimentary weapons and equipment, and under the condition that the number of people was at an absolute disadvantage, he used the terrain to completely annihilate the horse bandits who had been rampant in northern Cyprus for decades.

When the news came, the entire county was shaken. You must know that not everyone can be appreciated by Chairman Fu, although the colonel does not sound very good, there are so many colonels in the entire Republic of China, whether it is the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army, or the Sichuan Army, the Yunnan Army, the Gui Army, and the Hunan Army, there are not hundreds of colonels in that unit.

However, there are not many people who confer the rank of colonel on the commander of the security regiment, and although the security regiment is said to be a regiment, the establishment of the security regiment is not uniform throughout the country, and the large security regiment can reach more than 2,000 people, while the small one has only a few hundred people, and even in some remote areas, there are only a few dozen people, and the gap is not ordinarily large.

Therefore, many of the commanders of this security regiment have no military rank, some are just a major or captain, only a few lieutenant colonels, Chen Feng was just a rich kid before, to be precise, just a gentleman in a rich businessman, although this battle was fought well, but it is impossible to be awarded the rank of colonel.

But now this impossibility has become a reality, so many people know the fact that this Chen Feng must have been appreciated by Chairman Fu Zuoyi, especially the ammunition supply and food of the security regiment at the end of the sentence according to the B regiment, which is a very clear signal that the Xinghe County Security Regiment may be upgraded to a regular army at any time, and then Commander Chen's soaring will be just around the corner.

Is it really what people think? At least Chen Feng would never think like this, this Suiyuan Provincial Chairman Fu Zuoyi Chen Feng is a well-known general, the first fierce general under Shanxi Yan Dashuai, who is extremely good in attack and defense, and the 35th Army under his command is a strong force in the Jin Sui Army, how can such a person look at a little-known security regiment.

Of course, if Chairman Fu Da was allowed to see this army with his own eyes, maybe Fu Zuoyi might really have this mind. But with just a good report, Chen Feng thought that Fu Zuoyi couldn't reward himself like this, and he really didn't know what was going on now.

But no matter what it is, it's not a bad thing after all. No matter what Fu Zuoyi is trying to do, this gives money, officials, numbers, and weapons, which still makes Chen Feng happy.

Gui Sui. Municipal government.

Fu Zuoyi, commander of the 35th Army of the Jin Sui Army, chairman of Suiyuan Province, and second-class general of the Army of the Nationalist Government, sat at his desk looking at the documents sent from various places, and across the desk sat Ye Qijie, deputy commander of the 35th Army.

"Brother Xinwu, have you done everything?" Commander Fu asked in a deep voice.

"The military seat, everything is done, a total of 500 Hanyang-made, 20 light machine guns, 2 heavy machine guns, 1,000 grenades and 100,000 rounds of ammunition are all loaded and sent to Xinghe, and the 5,000 oceans you said are also escorted with the car." Ye Qijie replied.

"Well, that's good." Fu Jun said.

"Junzao, isn't it just a security group, as for you working so hard to win over?" Ye Qijie asked puzzledly.

"Brother Xinwu, a small security group is indeed not worth such a big effort from you and me, but has the head of that security group, Brother Xinwu, carefully investigated?" Commander Fu said with a smile.

"The information shows that the security regiment is always the only son of Chen Binggong, the largest grain merchant in the four northern provinces, and he is an unscrupulous gentleman, 19 years old this year, who graduated from a middle school in Beiping the year before last, and only became the head of this security regiment because of the relationship between Li Jingyuan and Director Li." Ye Qijie said.

"Brother Xinwu only knows about this Chen Feng, let me tell you, this Chen Feng's background is bigger than you think, Chen Feng's father is indeed Chen Binggong, with assets of about 10 million oceans, and he is one of the largest businessmen in the four northern provinces. In addition, Chen Binggong's wife is even more amazing, she is the young daughter of the leader of the Siziwang tribe, and she was a golden phoenix on the Gegentala grassland before, and she has very means. Chen Feng has a fiancée named Gegentana, which translates to mean the pearl of the grassland, the only daughter of Chen Feng's uncle, the most beautiful pearl of the grassland of Gegentara. Chen Feng's uncle had a light cavalry in his hands, numbering about 5,000 people, although the equipment was not much, but the combat effectiveness was okay. The most important thing is that Chen Feng's uncle and King De don't deal with each other, does the new brother understand what I mean? Fu Jun said.

"Throne, I understand. No matter what Chen Feng's own qualifications are, and no matter whether or not the security regiment really wiped out the Saibei Horse Gang, what you value is actually the cavalry in the hands of Chen Feng's uncle and the entire Siziwang tribe. Ye Qijie said.

"It's also right and it's not right. Brother Xinwu said that sooner or later there will be a war between China and Japan. Although we won the Suiyuan War of Resistance, the losses of the troops were not large. However, the strength of King De and Li Shouxin's lackeys is actually not much of a loss, and now they are cowering in the east, which is close to the northeast and north China, and we have no power to destroy them, otherwise it is likely to give the Japanese an excuse for an all-out war, so we need someone who can act as a buffer between us, and this buffer must be the tribe of the Four Kings. ”

Ye Qijie knew that after the Battle of the Great Wall, the Japanese used the "Tanggu Agreement" to constantly create incidents in North China, and successively forced the Kuomintang authorities to sign the "Hemei Agreement" and the "Qintu Agreement" and other traitorous clauses, and the crisis in North China deepened day by day. Under the pressure of the Japanese, relations between the Western countries and the Nationalist Government became increasingly alienated, and only the Red Soviet Union in the north continued to aid the Nationalist Government. In order to block the government's foreign communications in the northwest and sever ties with the Soviet Union, last year it actively supported the Mongol traitors Demuchuk Donlupu (King De) and Li Shouxin in Chasui and established the so-called "Mongolian Military Government." He also bribed the bandit Wang Ying to organize the so-called "Menghan Northwest Defense Communist Autonomous Army" and the "Great Han Righteous Army".

In the 25th year of the Republic of China, with the support of the Japanese, King Mengtu actively carried out activities in various leagues in the west, directly provoked conflicts with the Suiyuan provincial government, and brewed armed riots. At about 6 o'clock in the morning of November 15 of the same year, Takayoshi Tanaka, chief of the secret service of the Japanese military government in Mongolia, commanded more than 5,000 troops, under the cover of aircraft and artillery, launched a fierce attack on Honggertu from three directions. Honggertu is the gateway to the east of Suiyuan, from Chabei, Shangdu to Bailing Temple important post station, the Japanese puppet invasion of Honggertu aims to open the door of Suidong, will return to Suiyuan, and then occupy the entire Suiyuan, Suiyuan War of Resistance broke out.

During the campaign, Fu Zuoyi personally went to the front line of Jining to command, and ordered the troops to attack in the starry night, surprise the enemy, and copy behind the enemy. The Japanese puppet army was caught off guard, and by about 7 o'clock in the morning of the 18th, the whole line retreated. The battle of Honggeltu ended with a complete victory for me. At the same time, in terms of Bailing Temple, the 35th Army also achieved a great victory in Bailing Temple. In front of the enemy's puppet army, two brigades killed 29 Japanese advisers, captured more than 200 enemies, inspected more than 600 enemy corpses, and froze to death more than 200 enemy corpses in the grassland, and captured a lot of weapons and ammunition. Our army suffered more than 400 casualties. Soon after, the Suiyuan War of Resistance ended victoriously.

As Fu Zuoyi said, although the Suiyuan War of Resistance was won, the loss of King De's strength was not large, and the Japanese supported him behind his back, so the king did not take the Suiyuan Provincial Government in his eyes at all. Conflicts between the two sides occurred from time to time, which gave Fu Zuoyi a headache.

"Junzuo, we don't know much about the situation of the Siziwang tribe, but as far as I know, they can't be the opponent of King De at all, King De has a full 6 divisions of regular troops, plus Li Shouxin and Wang Ying's troops, the tribe of Siziwang and them are not opponents of the same level at all, how can they play a buffering role." Ye Qijie continued to ask.

"It's really what I'm worried about, although the Siziwang tribe is not as powerful as other Mongolian tribes in decline, but the situation is not very optimistic, if it weren't for Chen Binggong's large amount of money and food support in recent years, the Siziwang tribe may have been annexed by King De very early. But it is a fact that the tribe of the four princes and the king of Germany do not deal with each other, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Chen Feng's uncle has no son, only a daughter, as long as Chen Feng is wooed well, the tribe of the four princes will not become our enemy if it is the worst, compared to that bit of weapons and equipment, this is the most important thing for us. Fu Jun said.

"The military seat is far-sighted and admired, and I hope that Chen Feng will not live up to the high expectations of the military seat." Ye Qijie said.

"Hehehe, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, a big war between China and Japan is about to start, I have no choice but to do this, I hope I can save a little more national defense strength for the national government, I hope Chen Feng is not a dou who can't be supported." After that, the two of them ended the conversation.
