"I know that you have to keep these more than 1,000 horse rifles for the expansion of the main force."

Zhao Gang said: "But isn't there only more than 700 people in our independent regiment now? Now that there are more guns than people, I don't think it's a problem to take out 300 horse rifles and give them to the county brigade. ”

Li Yunlong said: "Lao Zhao, you have to consider the unification of logistics support. ”

After a pause, he said: "The county brigade, the district squad and the village militia do not have to undertake the main combat mission, so the logistics support can not be unified, but the main force cannot. ”

"In order to reduce the pressure on logistics as much as possible."

"The armament of the main forces must be as unified as possible."

"Otherwise, the main force is equipped with a variety of weapons and equipment, what old sleeves, Hanyang-made, Zhongzheng, Liao 13 and 38 big covers have everything, and the old man can't be tired to death?"

"What's more, there are now more 6.5mm and 7.7mm caliber Arisaka rifle cartridges."

"Therefore, the captured Type 38 rifles and horse rifles must be given priority to protect the main force."

"As for the guns you said are more than people, that is only temporary, and the independent regiment will definitely be expanded after the New Year, and two thousand rifles may not be enough by then."

At present, the revolutionary enthusiasm in the Fuliangshan base area is indeed very high.

In particular, the big victory of Feiyundu has completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers.

The villagers were eager to send their children to the army, and they all thought that it would be useful to participate in the Eighth Road, otherwise Zhao Gang would not have been able to form the county brigade of Ping'an County so quickly.

Moreover, the Ping'an County Brigade reached more than 700 people as soon as it was established.

Wang Ye said: "Political commissar, I agree with the head of the regiment on this matter. ”

"Alright then, since the two of you are on the same page, I'll obey the majority."

Zhao Gang said: "However, the county brigade has been formed, and the weapons and equipment must be solved, right?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Lao Zhao, this matter can't be rushed, when the time is ripe, weapons and equipment will naturally be available." ”

Wang Ye knew what Li Yunlong was thinking, so he said: "Political commissar, otherwise, anyway, after the New Year, our independent regiment will definitely be expanded, so let's simply let the militia of the county brigade join the main regiment, as for the new Ping'an County brigade, it is not too late to form it after the weapons and equipment are in place." ”

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up and said, "This method is good." ”

"Well, that's a good idea." Zhao Gang said happily.

"Then it's decided." Li Yunlong said, "Wait until the Lantern Festival is over, expand the compilation!" ”

Speaking of this, he said: "Oh yes, the tunnel excavation work in various villages and towns and the construction of the Fuliangshan fortress cannot be stopped, and it will be spring in a few months, and the devils may break away at any time." ”

"Lao Li, don't worry." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I'll keep an eye on it myself." ”

Wang Ye also said: "It's even more fine on the fortress side." ”

It's that dozens of captives have been exhausted.

But in general, there are no big problems.

……

Lijiazhen.

Qian Bojun had a handful of silver dollars and a few gold bars on his desk.

Just as he was counting, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Qian Bojun hurriedly swept the silver dollars and gold bars on the table into the drawer.

Then he asked, "Who?" ”

"The battalion commander is me, Fugui."

Zhang Fugui's voice sounded outside the door.

"It's you." Qian Bojun breathed a sigh of relief, "Come in." ”

The door creaked open, and Zhang Fugui flashed in sideways.

Qian Bojun glanced outside the door and asked, "There's no one outside, right?" ”

"Battalion commander, there's no one outside." Zhang Fugui smiled and said, "Besides, this is Lijia Town, not Yunqi Town, what are you afraid of, battalion commander?" ”

"yes, what am I afraid of?"

Qian Bojun said: "I have nothing to be afraid of. ”

"It's a big deal, who the can't do without whom?"

With the accumulation of resentment in his heart and the sharp increase in his personal wealth, Qian Bojun's desire to break away from Chu Yunfei and set up his own door is becoming more and more intense.

"Battalion commander, this is the New Year's gift money from the town's merchants to honor you."

As he spoke, Zhang Fugui placed a small box on the table.

Qian Bojun opened the box and saw several small yellow croakers inside.

"Damn, so much?" Qian Bojun's eyes lit up suddenly.

Zhang Fugui said proudly: "Now the entire northwest of Shanxi Province is blocked by small Japan, whether it is the common people or the Eighth Route Army, but anyone who wants to buy a little scarce materials has to buy them in Lijia Town, and the cloth shops, garment shops, grain stores and grocery stores in the town are all going crazy for money, and you shouldn't be filial to the battalion commander." ”

Hearing this, Qian Bojun took the box of gold bars with peace of mind.

When he took it, Qian Bojun checked it, and it was estimated that it was about fifty taels.

It's just that this filial piety is almost worth seven or eight thousand oceans, which is really a lot.

At that moment, Qian Bojun said: "It seems that this year, the business in the town really makes a lot of money. ”

"Of course." Zhang Fugui smiled and said, "But battalion commander, let's earn more." ”

"You're wrong, we're only making a few bucks." Qian Bojun said, "The surname Zheng earns a lot." ”

"It's different." Zhang Fugui waved his hand and said, "Boss Zheng earns a lot but there are many people who have to do it, unlike us, everything you get is ours." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fugui suddenly said: "Battalion commander, should we find someone to dredge up the relationship?" ”

"Dredging what?" Qian Bojun glared at Zhang Fugui and said angrily, "Do you want Shangfeng to transfer Chu Yunfei away or transfer us away?" ”

Zhang Fugui said: "It is definitely impossible to transfer Chu Yunfei away, the Governor's Department and the Chongqing side have to use him as a model, and it is a telegram commendation and an exclusive interview with the Central News Agency, and the radio and newspapers have blown him to the sky, and it is said that he will be awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, according to this posture, he will be promoted to major general and brigade commander, how can he be transferred?" ”

Qian Bojun said angrily: "Then what do you mean, you are transferring us away?" ”

"That's even worse." Zhang Fugui said, "The treasure land of Lijiazhen will not be changed for our head of the regiment." ”

"That's why I said unblock a fart." Qian Bojun said angrily, "Besides, Jin Suijun's skin, how much is it worth the fuck?" What can you do if you become the head of the regiment? ”

"That's just as well." Zhang Fugui said, "In these years, money is still the most real. ”

"Alas, when it comes to Qian Laozi, I think of that batch of equipment again." Qian Bojun said hatefully, "That's the equipment of an entire cavalry brigade, Chu Yunfei, a loser, will give it away when he says it." ”

"Who's to say it's not." Zhang Fugui also said, "Chu Yunfei, this dog's day, really doesn't know how to sympathize with your subordinates, you yourself are proud of the spring breeze and drink spicy food, you always have to give your subordinates a mouthful of soup to drink, right?" So many weapons and equipment, even if it is divided in half, it would be a huge amount of money to divide it equally among the four battalions, but it turned out that he was good, and he gave it directly to the Eighth Route Army, which is really. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Fugui said again: "So I said that there is no future with Chu Yunfei." ”

"Don't talk about that." Qian Bojun sighed, "In this world, one day is a day." ”

At this moment, Qian Bojun's guard platoon commander knocked on the door and came in, and said in a low voice: "Yingzuo, have you heard?" The regimental seat is about to be promoted to brigade commander! The 358th Regiment will also be expanded into the 1st Independent Brigade! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qian Bojun's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.

Zhang Fugui was overjoyed and said: "Battalion commander, I'll give you congratulations here." ”

According to the usual practice, Chu Yun was promoted to brigade commander, and Qian Bojun must follow to be promoted to regiment commander.

Because this is how Qian Bojun was promoted step by step with Chu Yunfei.

However, the guard platoon commander shook his head and said, "Barracks, I heard a bad rumor, saying that you may not be promoted to regiment commander this time, or you should go to the regiment headquarters." ”

Qian Bojun's face fell.

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, this is a letter from Yan Xishan."

Hanaya was grimacing a letter and handed a letter to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

"Yaga!" After reading the letter, Iwamatsu Yoshio was so angry that he slapped it on the big table and said angrily, "There is not a single sentence of nonsense that involves the nature of reality. ”

"Yes, I now suspect more and more that he is stalling for time under the pretext of peace talks."

Hua Gu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Especially after Feiyundu's defeat, his tendency is even more obvious. ”

"Looks like it's going to have to be beaten." Iwamatsu Yoshio said with a dark face, "We have to let him know that the patience of the imperial army is limited after all, and if the peace talks do not succeed, they can only destroy the Jin Sui army!" ”

"So, what method should the imperial army take to knock on Yan Xishan?"

Hua Gu Zheng frowned and said, "If you attack in an all-out way, the cost is too high, and the result is uncontrollable. ”

"An all-out attack will definitely not work." Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Before the peace talks are completely broken, we should not easily threaten them with an all-out attack. ”

While the two were talking, Jiro Sakuma, the head of the intelligence section, walked in.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Sakuma Jiro paused and said, "Heyuan County Military Police Captain Hirata Ichiro reported that the time is ripe for Qian Bojun, the commander of the 1st Battalion, to rebel against the Chu Yunfei Department of the Jin Sui Army. ”

"Yo Si." Yan Song Yoshio said, "Take Chu Yunfei to warn Yan Xishan." ”

"Shw, that's a good idea." Hua Guzheng nodded happily and said, "Chu Yunfei's troops are in the limelight because they annihilated the 4th Cavalry Brigade in Feiyundu. ”

"Both the government of China and Yan Xishan want to take the opportunity to set Chu Yunfei up as a model."

"Our elimination of the 358th Regiment at this time can not only combat the arrogance of the Chinese government, but also give Yan Xishan a warning, and will not lead to the breakdown of peace talks, and even play a role in killing chickens and monkeys for the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army in the northwest of Shanxi, which can really be described as a clever move to kill three birds with one stone."

"Then let Hirata-kun immediately start plotting against that Qian Bojun."

Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "At the same time, I ordered the 2nd Guards Division to prepare for an attack, and as long as Hirata Junce succeeded, he immediately launched an attack on Chu Yunfei's department, creating an opportunity for Qian Bojun's department to backstab Chu Yunfei's department." ”

"Hello." Hanaya and Sakuma Jiro nodded at the same time.

……

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Zheng Qianyi, the owner of Zheng Ji Commercial Bank, came to Lijia Town again at night.

When I met with Qian Bojun this time, the two sides got along much better.

"Camp Commander Qian." Zheng Qian took off his hat and saluted, "Happy New Year, I wish you a New Year." ”

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Qian Bojun smiled and said, "I wish Boss Zheng to start more businesses and make more money in the new year, haha." ”

"Thanks to you."

Zheng Qian smiled and said, "I also wish Camp Commander Qian a step by step promotion in the new year." ”

"Step by step?" Qian Bojun shook his head and said abruptly, "I don't dare to think that I can keep my current position and burn incense." ”

"Why did Camp Commander Qian say this?"

Zheng Qianyi said: "I heard that the 358th Regiment of your Jin Sui Army is about to be expanded into the 1st Brigade of the Jin Sui Army, and Chu Yunfei is also about to be promoted to major general and brigade commander, right?" ”

Qian Bojun said: "Boss Zheng is very well-informed? ”

"Where, where." Zheng Qian waved his hand, and said, "If Chu Yunfei is promoted to major general brigade commander, if the 358th regiment is expanded into the 1st Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army, with your qualifications and ability, it is not too much to be a colonel, right?" ”

Qian Bojun's face fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Boss Zheng, can we not talk about this matter today?" ”

Zheng Qian smiled slightly when he heard this, of course he knew why Qian Bojun was unhappy, because what he said just now hit the pain point in Qian Bojun's heart.

Chu Yunfei is indeed about to be promoted.

The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is indeed going to be expanded.

But this has nothing to do with Qian Bojun.

Because after the expansion, the 1st Brigade of the Jin Sui Army has two regiments.

The 358th Regiment now has 4 infantry battalions and 1 mountain artillery battalion, for a total of 5 battalion commanders.

After Chu Yunfei is promoted to brigade commander, there will definitely be two battalion commanders who will be promoted to regiment commander.

Originally, Qian Bojun's qualifications were slightly better than those of the other 4 battalion commanders, but due to his poor performance in the battle of killing pigs, Chu Yunfei's impression of him was greatly reduced, so there was suspense about his promotion.

It is said that Chu Yunfei has already made a proposal to the Commander's Department to select the head of the regiment through actual combat.

In the actual combat in the future, which two battalions performed the best, these two battalion commanders were promoted to regiment commanders on the spot, which made Qian Bojun very angry, and his resentment against Chu Yunfei also climbed to the top.

Zheng Qianyi knew this, but pretended not to know.

At that moment, Zheng Qianyi asked Zhang Fugui again: "Deputy Zhang Ying, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Fugui glanced at Qian Bojun and saw that Qian Bojun had no intention of stopping it, so he confessed to him.

"And like this? Chu Yunfei is too much. After hearing this, Zheng Qian said indignantly, "Isn't this a loss for honest people?" The battle to kill the pig's mouth can be better with a few other battalions? Not necessarily. ”

"How many other battalions?" Zhang Fugui said abruptly, "If you really change to a few other battalions, it will only be worse." ”

"Chu Yunfei's approach is really chilling." As soon as Zheng Qian said this, he lowered his voice and said, "Camp Commander Qian, I don't know if I should tell the truth?" ”

Qian Bojun said: "Boss Zheng, please speak." ”

Zheng Qian said: "Chu Yunfei doesn't know anyone, the rewards and punishments are unfair, and it doesn't mean much to follow him again, I have a way for the Nanjing government, Camp Commander Qian, do you want to change your way of living?" ”

Hearing this, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were not too surprised.

The two of them had suspected that Zheng Qian was a member of the Nanjing government.

The reason is very simple, if it were not for the Nanjing government, how could it be possible to get a business license from the Japanese? And can they smuggle grain, cloth and other materials to the Fuliang Mountains in a grand manner?

Qian Bojun narrowed his eyes and said, "Boss Zheng wants our brother to be a traitor?" ”

"Eh, Camp Commander Qian is wrong." Zheng Qian waved his hand and said, "The Nanjing government is the only legitimate government, and the Chongqing government is just a local government, so switching to the Nanjing government is not a traitor at all, this is called a curve to save the country, and only Chairman Wang's curve to save the country can save China." ”

Qian Bojun turned his head and glanced at Zhang Fugui, and said: "Since Boss Zheng has said this, then I might as well tell you the truth, if you want our brothers to change camps, it's okay, but the Nanjing government has to show enough sincerity." ”

Zheng Qianyi said: "In this case, then I might as well tell the truth to Camp Commander Qian, I came here this time under the carte blanche of Ichiro Hirata, the gendarmerie of Heyuan County. ”

"Carte blanche?" Qian Bojun said, "Can you make the final decision on behalf of Ichiro Hirata?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Qian nodded and said, "As long as it is within the scope of permission." ”

"That's good." Qian Bojun said in a deep voice, "What are the conditions given by Ichiro Hirata?" ”

Zheng Qianyi said: "Reorganize your unit into the 4th Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army, with Battalion Commander Qian as the colonel and deputy commander Zhang Ying. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Qian Bojun laughed when he heard this.

Zhang Fugui also sneered.

Zheng Qian: "Why is Camp Chief Qian laughing? ”

"Because it's ridiculous." Qian Bojun said coldly, "Our 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is a reinforced regiment, with a total of more than 5,000 people, and my 1st Battalion is the first-class main battalion of the 358th Regiment, with a small 2,000 men, more than a regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

Zhang Fugui said: "Isn't it a joke that Ichiro Hirata wants our brother to go to the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army to be the commander and deputy commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army under the infamy of a traitor?" Do you think we'll say yes? ”

Zheng Qian: "Then what are the conditions of Camp Commander Qian?" ”

Qian Bojun said: "At least I have to give a mixed brigade number!" ”

Zheng Qian said: "This is beyond my authority, I must report to Captain Hirata." ”

"No problem." Qian Bojun said, "You can go to Taiyuan to report to Iwamatsu Yoshio, anyway, we have time, don't worry, take your time." ”

……

Taiyuan, headquarters of the 1st Army.

Sakuma Jiro paused and said: "Your Excellency Commander, Hirata-kun has just called, and the rebellion against Qian Bojun, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the 1st Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, has been successful. ”

"Yo Si." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded happily.

Hanayamasa asked, "What conditions did Hirata-kun give?" ”

Sakuma Jiro: "Qian Bojun's department was reorganized into the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Allied Army. ”

"Yagayalu." Hua Guzheng scolded, "Qian Bojun's troops are only more than 1,100 people at full strength, and now there are less than 700 people left, so he dares to ask for the number of a mixed brigade?" ”

"Eh, it's just a number." Iwamatsu Yoshio said.

"Huh?" Hanayamasa said, "Your Excellency Commander......"

"Give him the number." Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Call Miyano-kun again, and the attacking troops of the 2nd Guards Division will immediately advance towards Yunqi Town." ”
