Yan Xishan's face was full of disbelief and shock.

In fact, he had already received information about Chu Yunfei's ambiguous relationship with Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, he also called Chu Yunfei to the Second War Zone Commander's Department to investigate and interrogate.

Although there is no evidence of Chu Yunfei's defection to the Communist Party, if he were a different person, he would have been removed from his post a long time ago.

But.

Chu Yunfei is his fellow countryman in Shanxi, and in order to give Chu Yunfei another chance, Yan Xishan released Chu Yunfei back to the 358th regiment.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yunfei actually led 358 regiments to join the Communist Party.

"Chu Yunfei, I swear to you!"

was betrayed by his subordinates, Yan Xishan was furious, and his eyes were about to burst out.

The communications staff officers and the combat staff officers next to him were silent.

Yan Xishan never expected that eating melons would eat his body.

He also laughed at Principal Chang for not being able to sleep at night, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

The 358th Regiment has 5,000 men and horses, although it is only a regimental establishment, but its strength is sufficient, comparable to the strength of a division of its Jinsui Army, and its combat effectiveness is stronger than other divisions.

Moreover, the rations, weapons and ammunition supplies of the Jin Sui Army were all given priority to the 358th Regiment.

But even so, the 358th regiment betrayed him.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, Yan Xishan looked at the communications staff officer and ordered: "Order all the Jin Sui army troops in Luliangshan to retreat to Shaanxi." ”

Including the 358th Regiment, there are already 5 regiments of the Jinsui Army this year, which have voted for the Eighth Route Army.

If those Jin Sui army troops continue to stay in Shanxi, and continue according to this trend, it is estimated that all the troops will have to surrender to the eighth route.

"Yes, Commander."

The communications staff officer turned and left.

Looking at the back of the communications staff officer who turned to leave, Yan Xishan was very angry but there was no way.

The Eighth Route Army's move is indeed ruthless enough.

In order to squeeze the Jin Sui army out of Shanxi, he constantly used favorable conditions to attract the Jin Sui army troops to join the Eighth Route Army.

Yan Xishan also did not protest to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

But the protests were ineffective.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army said that it was an individual act of local troops and had nothing to do with the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and that these Jinsui Army troops voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army.

It can't be beaten again, and Yan Xishan ordered that the troops of the Jin Sui Army must not clash with the Eighth Route Army.

The Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army have a lot of old accounts, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, if the two sides fight, it would be good if the Jin Sui Army could hold out for three days.

It was difficult for the Japanese army to enter Luliang Mountain.

However, the Eighth Route Army did not launch a frontal military offensive at all, but adopted the method of internal disintegration.

It is impossible to prevent it.

"Hey..."

Yan Xishan sighed heavily.

It's aggrieved enough to think about it, I have been the king of Shanxi for decades, but I didn't expect to be squeezed out of Shanxi by the Eighth Route Army in this way.

But.

With the current situation, it is already good to be able to keep Jin Suijun's family background.

"I can't afford to provoke the Eighth Route Army, can't I still hide?"

Yan Xishan thought to himself.

……

At the same time.

The radio stations in the mountain city also received a nationwide telegram from the 4th Aviation Brigade of the National Army and the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Of course, President Chang also received a telegram, which was personally reported by Director Dai.

Principal Chang was having lunch.

When he heard the report, he was stunned for a full 1 minute, and then overturned the dining table, and the food on the table was suddenly scattered on the ground.

Scolding Niang Xipi.

The 4th Air Brigade is the main force of the National Air Force.

The defection of the 4th Air Brigade to the Communists this time was an extremely huge loss for the air force of the Nationalist Army.

And Chu Yunfei is a student of Principal Chang, and Principal Chang is also impressed by him, with excellent grades in the fifth phase of Huangpu, and Principal Chang is ready to transfer him to the Central Army for key training in the future and serve as the commander of the department.

Unexpectedly, the 4th Air Brigade and Chu Yunfei both joined the Communist Party.

This is a big blow to President Chang.

However, Principal Chang quickly regained his composure.

At the beginning, so many students joined the Communist Party during the Whampoa period, and he was already used to this.

But Niang Xipi and the Japanese army are indispensable.

Thereupon.

Principal Chang once again gave the Eighth Route Army an order to attack the Japanese airfields in Central China.

I want to get back to a wave of micro-manipulation.

……

"Captain!"

"Chu Yunfei led the independent brigade to report, please instruct!"

Outside the northern city of Taiyuan, Chu Yunfei saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute.

Now the number of the 358th Regiment is the Independent Brigade of the New First Regiment, and Chu Yunfei is the deputy commander of the New Regiment and the captain of the Independent Brigade of the New Regiment.

Li Yunlong is his top boss, calling Li Yunlong the head of the regiment, Chu Yunfei is still a little unaccustomed.

But.

Chu Yunfei came to Li Yunlong for the Communist Party, thinking that he would be used to saluting a few more times and calling the head of the regiment a few more times.

The 358th regiment defected to the Communist Party, which was also approved by the headquarters.

The headquarters was originally developing an internal line in the Jin Sui army, and Chu Yunfei led 5,000 troops to vote sincerely, and the head of the headquarters naturally raised his hands to agree.

Now, the headquarters is already discussing the matter of sending political commissars to Chu Yunfei and sending instructors and instructors to his subordinates.

It won't be long before Chu Yunfei will join the party, and his battalion commanders, company commanders, platoon commanders and elite soldiers will also join the party one after another.

At that time, the entire 358th Regiment will become a real Eighth Route Army team.

"Deputy Head Chu, it's hard work."

Li Yunlong returned a military salute with a satisfied expression.

On the day of the national electrification, Chu Yunfei led his troops from Xingxian to Taiyuan.

After arriving on the main road, Li Yunlong sent more than 100 Jiefang trucks from the transport battalion to pull all the 5,000 troops of the 358th Regiment to Taiyuan.

Of course.

Chu Yunfei didn't do anything perfectly, and left Yan Xishan all the Jinzao equipment of the 358th Regiment.

The two operational staff officers and the second battalion commander arranged by Yan Xishan, Chu Yunfei, also let them go.

Leave a line in everything, and see you in the future.

"It should."

Chu Yunfei said.

Zhao Gang said: "I have ordered the comrades to prepare a meal, Deputy Commander Chu, please order the troops to get out of the car and start the meal." ”

"Pass my orders and get out of the car to eat."

Chu Yunfei ordered Sun Ming next to him.

Sun Ming shouted loudly: "The deputy head of the regiment ordered, everyone got out of the car to eat." ”

As Chu Yunfei's order was issued, the soldiers of the new regiment of the independent brigade jumped off the liberation truck one after another and walked to the dinner table in a company platoon.

Looking at this group of soldiers, Li Yunlong nodded.

From a spiritual point of view, the soldiers under Chu Yunfei's command are not bad, far from the Eighth Route Army, but compared with other Jin Sui Army and Central Army troops, they are already elite.

Moreover, most of the soldiers are veterans who have been in the army for many years, and their combat skills are not to mention, but their will to fight is poor.

Coupled with poor weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment is comparable to that of an elite brigade of the Japanese army.

If the 358th Regiment is all equipped with American-style equipment, it can face one Japanese wing head-on.

In fact, after the 358th Regiment changed into American-style equipment in the original play, in the Battle of Brown Yanggou, the 358th Regiment and Yoshino United fought a draw.

So.

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is still quite combat-effective.

And.

Among the officers of the Jin Sui Army, compared with the negative attitude of other Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei was also very active in the War of Resistance.

Subsequently, Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others returned to the new regimental headquarters in Taiyuan City.

"Deputy Commander Chu, the American-style equipment of 5,000 people has been prepared for your independent brigade."

Li Yunlong said to Chu Yunfei:

"When the political commissars, instructors, and instructors arranged by the headquarters are in place, and your independent brigade has a short rest, we will immediately go to the northern Henan region to open up a base area."

Chu Yunfei looked at the map and asked, "Regiment leader, where is the specific location in northern Henan?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Specifically, in the Hebi area, there are local troops such as our county brigades, district squads, and militias of our Eighth Route Army, and the head of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has agreed to let these troops join your independent brigade, and I will arrange transport planes to airdrop weapons and ammunition to you at that time." ”

At present, Zhengzhou is still in the hands of the Central Army, but Hebi, Xinxiang and Kaifeng in Henan Province have long since fallen.

Although the new regiment has long been replaced with new five or six type equipment.

But Chu Yunfei loves American-style equipment, so Chu Yunfei's independent brigade is mainly equipped with American-style weapons.

Li Yunlong agreed, and there were still a lot of obsolete American-style equipment in the warehouses of the new regiment, which was just right to equip the independent brigade.

At present, all units of the Eighth Route Army are expanding, and there are no extra soldiers for Chu Yunfei to expand the troops.

If Chu Yunfei wanted to expand the troops, he could only open up his own base area, and Li Yunlong was responsible for providing food and guns.

Li Yunlong's attitude was, I will give you as many troops as you can pull, and I will give you as much food and American-style equipment as you want.

Not to mention Yan Laoxi, even Principal Chang couldn't offer such conditions.

Moreover, the air force unit of the Eighth Route Army at Changzhi Airport can also provide air support to the new independent brigade at any time.

"Yes, the independent brigade guarantees the completion of the mission."

Chu Yunfei immediately expressed his position.

Chu Yunfei was not surprised by the task assigned by Li Yunlong, after all, what the Eighth Route Army was good at was developing base areas.

Otherwise, why did it grow to tens of millions of troops in a few years?

Going to northern Henan can not only open up new base areas, but also fight devils and develop and strengthen the army, why not?

I don't know how many times stronger than the place in Luliang Mountain.

After all, the main reason why Chu Yunfei led the 358 regiment to join the Communist Party was to fight devils.

"Regiment commander, how many cannons did you give me this time, and what caliber was it?"

Chu Yunfei asked.

Li Yunlong gave Chu Yunfei American-style equipment, including M1 Garand, M1 carbine, M2 heavy machine gun, M3 submachine gun, 20mm machine gun, Bazooka rocket launcher and other equipment.

"I'll give you 18 75-mm mountain guns and 6 105-mm howitzers."

李云龙 says:

"Give you a larger caliber howitzer, with the current artillery of your independent brigade, you can't play with these equipment at all."

"It's only temporary, though."

"As long as your independent brigade behaves well, there will be large-caliber heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft in the future."

Li Yunlong drew a wave of cakes for Chu Yunfei.

As long as he is a soldier, he has no resistance to heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, and Chu Yunfei is not exempt from vulgarity.

Of course.

Chu Yunfei didn't think that as soon as he arrived in the new regiment, Li Yunlong would give him heavy artillery, tanks and planes, Li Yunlong was right, even if he gave him those equipment, the soldiers under him would not be able to play at all?

"Yunfei, it's your fault."

Li Yunlong said.

"Commander, how can you blame me?"

Chu Yunfei's tone was surprised.

Li Yunlong said: "If you had joined the Eighth Route Army earlier, maybe there would have been tens of thousands of horses under your command now, and you would have already used heavy artillery, tanks and planes." ”

Chu Yunfei was speechless for a while, can the matter of joining the Communist Party be decided hastily, and must not be thought through?

Next, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei discussed the direction of the army's future attack on the Japanese army and the defensive strategies that the Japanese army would adopt.

Li Yunlong's military insights and views shocked Chu Yunfei.

"Shibei should be impressed in three days." Chu Yunfei thought to himself, "No wonder the regiment commander can lead the Eighth Route to wipe out more than 250,000 Japanese troops, and I, Chu Yunfei, can't beat it." ”
