Chapter 249: Inspecting the Independent Battalion (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Tickets, and Miscellaneous !! ）

Chen Feng was very satisfied with the results of this inspection, not only Chen Feng himself, but also Deng Xiaoping, Kang Ze and others who were in the same company, or it could be said that they were shocked, especially Kang Ze himself. Kang Ze has been in charge of Jiangxi for a period of time, and has also created a lot of brilliance, among which the most appreciated by Lao Jiang and Mrs. Jiang is culture, education, medical and health care, etc., so Kang Ze himself is also very proficient in these aspects.

Kang Ze knew very well that it was necessary to carry out compulsory education within a province, and that it would be a six-year compulsory education, and the degree of difficulty would be comparable to that of ascending to the sky. Moreover, Chen Feng, a local warlord who is not public, wants to handle this matter well, and the possibility is not much different from directly driving the Japanese devils out of China, so Kang Ze was not optimistic about the concept of six-year compulsory education when it was proposed.

However, he did not expect that in only half a year this time, so many schools would be built in the entire Chahar region, and he must know that they were only inspecting one administrative district in Chahar Province today. As a high-ranking official in the national government, and a person who has served as the top leader in an organization like the Blue Coat Society, Kang Ze can see at a glance which schools are real, and it is not a face-saving project from below to cope with the inspection above.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Feng led a group of senior officials from the Chahar Provincial Government to inspect the six major systems one by one, among which the Ministry of Propaganda and Education and the Ministry of Industry had the best results. The Armed Forces Department is also doing a good job. Of course, the other three departments are not doing a bad job, but they are relatively poor.

This inspection lasted for a week, and although the intelligence department would report the itinerary of John and his party to Chen Feng every day, both sides were calm and no one mentioned the matter of negotiations.

Seeing that the Americans put the shelves quite high, Chen Feng was not interested in spending time with them, the Americans had time, anyway, in the eyes of those people, it was not the United States that suffered aggression, and it was not the United States that was in urgent need of rescue, they had time to consume Chen Feng.

Chen Feng disappeared. He handed over all the affairs of the group army to Yang Yi and others. He took Xu Bao, Chen Tiebao and others to inspect the enemy-occupied area.

The target of this inspection was the 15 independent battalions that Chen Feng had scattered to various localities in November last year, and Chen Feng had said at that time that he would give those 15 independent battalions a year, and a year later he personally inspected their work. Just one battalion as the base. The strength was expanded to one regiment. The battalion commander was promoted to regiment commander, which was expanded to a brigade, and the battalion commander was promoted to brigade commander. Expanded to a division, of course, there is no saying about it, the battalion commander was directly promoted to division commander, and now it is the end of October, and it is time to fulfill the promise.

Of the 15 independent battalions that were scattered at that time, only eight battalions now need to be inspected, and the other seven battalions ended their missions as early as half a year ago, because at that time they were based on the unit of Qi County, one battalion in each enemy-occupied area. Half a year later, whether it was the right middle banner or the right rear banner, or the yellow flag and the white flag, they had all been occupied by the 40th Group Army, so there was no need for those independent battalions to exist.

Although it was only half a year, the seven independent battalions that ended their tasks ahead of schedule have all developed well after investigation, and four of the seven battalions have expanded their troops to more than 3,000 troops, two have expanded their troops to more than 5,000 people, and one battalion has directly expanded their troops to 8,000 people. Therefore, Chen Feng directly promoted the battalion commanders of the four independent battalions who expanded the troops to more than 3,000 people to colonel commanders, the two battalion commanders who expanded the troops to 5,000 people directly promoted to deputy brigade commanders, and the battalion commanders who expanded the troops to 8,000 people directly sent to the military academy for further study.

In addition to the three independent battalions of Liu Guodong, Hu Haitao, and La Pingfu in eastern Hebei, only five of the 15 independent battalions that were scattered last year are now left, and he knows how the situation of the other battalions is developing.

The first stop of the inspection was Laiyuan County, Hebei Province, where Li Fuhai's second independent battalion was assigned at that time.

Laiyuan is a good place, the county seat is located in the northwest of Baoding, Hebei Province, the north end of Taihang Mountain, take the meaning of Laishui source. As an important stronghold along with Taihang, the geographical location of Laiyuan County is extremely important. In addition to being close to Baoding, the capital of Hebei Province, the source is only 160 kilometers away from Beiping, less than 210 kilometers away from Tianjin, and it is not far from Hunyuan and Lingqiu counties in Shanxi, so the Japanese army has repeatedly used Laiyuan County as an important logistics base for attacking Shanxi, and the permanent troops here have reached a reinforced brigade.

Chen Feng and his entourage of 220 people quietly arrived in Wei County, and then swaggered to Laiyuan under the opening of a special operations team.

Before coming, Chen Feng did not inform Li Fuhai's battalion, but Chen Feng and others knew that Li Fuhai's battalion headquarters was located in Loess Ridge, so he planned to attack Loess Ridge at night, and he wanted to see if the independent battalion that had been scattered was a showmanship.

Li Fuhai, a native of Tangshan, Hebei, 38 years old, graduated from the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and was a company commander of the Sixth Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army in his early years.

It's a pity that the majority of the troops have withdrawn, and what role can they have in a single battalion, and only more than 80 people were left in the entire battalion after the last battle, and the rest were all dead. In 1932, the battalion commander Wang Quan died in battle, the troops were reduced again, and there were less than 40 brothers left, and the highest rank was only Li Fuhai, the captain and company commander.

After staying in the Anti-Japanese Federation for four years, Li Fuhai was deeply valued by the high-level of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and was once promoted to the commander of the 11th Army of the Anti-Japanese Federation of South Manchuria, and the number of troops under his command even reached 3,000 at the maximum.

It is a pity that the Japanese have always despised the army of the Anti-United Nations, and in the spring of 36, the Kwantung Army dispatched 80,000 elite troops and 60,000 puppet troops to besiege all the strongholds of the Anti-United Nations in South Manchuria. Not only was Yang Jingyu, the person in charge of South Manchuria, killed, but Li Fuhai's Eleventh Army was also scattered, although Li Fuhai finally managed to break through, but there were less than 20 brothers left around him.

Seeing that the territory was occupied by the Japanese, they could not go back and continue to fight devils, so Li Fuhai had no choice but to move westward with the remaining more than 20 brothers, hoping to bypass the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, go north from the Horqin grassland to North Manchuria, and continue to resist Japan and fight devils. However, on the steppe, they were once again pursued by the Japanese lackeys and puppet Mongol troops, and Li Fuhai and others fled all the way, and after more than a month of escape, they actually fled to Chahar.

The puppet Mongolian army chased very closely, and it was necessary to bring Li Fuhai and others to the Japanese to ask for merit and reward, but in the end they did not get their wish, Li Fuhai and others were rescued by Mr. Chen, and were hired by Mr. Chen as members of the Chen family's grain protection team.

It stands to reason that people like Li Fuhai who have led soldiers to fight should be more reused by Old Man Chen, but it is a pity that Li Fuhai has lost confidence in the fight against Japan, especially when there are only 2 brothers left around him, Li Fuhai has the idea of retreating, hoping to live a dull life.

With this kind of thought, Li Fuhai behaved very ordinarily in front of everyone, and never mentioned the things of the past. Even later, when Chen Feng saw that he was a soldier, he did not change in the slightest. However, because Chen Feng did lack officers at that time, although Li Fuhai was not willing to come out to lead the troops to fight, he was finally selected by Chen Feng and appointed him as an infantry platoon commander of the field army.

Xiaoqi Mountain, where the headquarters of the 2nd Independent Battalion is located.

Li Fuhai was discussing the battle plan with Sun Yifeng, the deputy battalion commander, in the cave, when a soldier in a coarse linen robe hurriedly ran in and reported: "Camp, just now the brothers in the city have heard news that a squadron of the Japanese army is heading towards Wang'an Town, and it is now under fire with a county brigade of the Jinchaji Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. ”

"Wang Anzhen, that's Sun Haiping's territory, a little devil dares to come out with just one infantry squadron, Sun Haiping, this little bastard, can't do much. Immediately sent a report to Sun Haiping, saying that Lao Tzu was very dissatisfied, and a mere squadron of devils dared to sweep his defense area, no matter what method the dog day used, Lao Tzu asked him to kill the Japanese squadron on the dog day. Li Fuhai said loudly.

"Yes, Camp!"

Just when Li Fuhai hurriedly arranged the battle plan, Chen Feng led more than 200 special combat personnel to attack the battalion headquarters of the second independent battalion. However, it is a pity that this is not Li Fuhai's battalion headquarters, but the company headquarters of the 36th Company of the 2nd Independent Battalion, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, Chen Feng and others easily captured all the officers and soldiers of this 36th Company.

I didn't know what to say, and I was shocked when I asked, although more than 200 special combat team members captured more than 120 people alive. However, it was later discovered that not only was it not Li Fuhai's battalion headquarters that they had killed, but also that all the officers and men of the 36 Company had been captured, at least the commander and deputy commander of the 36 Company were not there, and the highest among them was only a second lieutenant platoon commander. What made Chen Feng feel most incredible was that the relevant information found from the headquarters of the 36th Company in Loess Ridge showed that this infantry company, which originally had only 134 combat personnel, actually had 523 people, including 248 regular troops, and the rest were all militiamen.

Originally, Chen Feng also planned to take the special combat team to continue to look for opportunities to sneak attack the battalion headquarters of the second independent battalion, but Xu Bao personally reported to Chen Feng that Li Fuhai's headquarters had already discovered them, and now a large number of troops were quietly surrounding this place.
