Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt very refreshed.

But the devil and the national army are not so cool.

Yu Province.

It is about 30 kilometers south of Xinxiang.

On the positions of the 1st Theater of Operations, the 3rd Army, the 132nd Regiment of the 20th Division.

A national army correspondent ran into the regiment headquarters quickly and reported with a nervous expression: "Regiment commander, the Eighth Route Army is here." ”

The commander of the National Army jumped up, hurriedly ran to the window of the headquarters, and raised his binoculars to look.

In the field of vision of the telescope, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army wearing steel helmets, holding American weapons, and wearing gray military uniforms drove over in a mighty manner under the guidance of more than 20 tanks and more than 30 armored vehicles.

"What are you doing here?" The face of the captain of the national army suddenly sank.

At present, Zhengzhou is still in the hands of the national army, and Zhengzhou has fallen twice in the history of another time and space.

After the Japanese army captured Zhengzhou in 1941, the First War Zone led by General Wei Lihuang recovered Zhengzhou, which coincided with this time and space.

But in another time and space, the tragedy of the fall of Zhengzhou in 1944 will not be repeated in this time and space.

After Chu Yunfei led the new regiment of independent brigades to seize Xinxiang, he also moved the brigade headquarters to Xinxiang.

At this time, the 3rd Group Army of the Nationalist Army was stationed in Zhengzhou, the 3rd Group Army was under the jurisdiction of the 12th Army and the 71st Army, the 12th Army was under the jurisdiction of the 20th, 22nd and 81st Divisions, and the 71st Army was under the jurisdiction of the 36th Division and the newly formed 28th Division.

Don't look at the five divisions under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Group Army of the National Army, plus various directly subordinate troops, according to the establishment, the total strength must be at least 60,000.

However, the First Theater of the Nationalist Army was seriously hungry for salaries, and it was not bad for the 3rd Army to have 40,000 troops.

If it really starts, the 3rd Army can't beat Chu Yunfei's independent brigade.

In the past, the 3rd Army of the National Army was to guard against the devils in Kaifeng.

However, Kaifeng has been captured by the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and the 3rd Group Army of the National Army has to guard against the 129th Division in Kaifeng, as well as the new regiment in Xinxiang.

During the North China Campaign, the Nationalist Army and the Eighth Route Army were at peace with each other.

During this period, countless ordinary people who fled the famine poured into the base area of the Eighth Route Army.

It was useless for the government of Henan Province and the national army to block it, because the people of Henan Province were already hungry and crazy.

Although it is a joint war of resistance between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party at the moment, everyone knows that they will not really trust each other.

Even if the National Army and the Eighth Route Army cooperate to fight devils on the battlefield, they will send a force to guard against each other.

After the Southern Anhui Incident, the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Nationalist Army became even more tense.

Of course, it's just that the relationship behind the scenes is very tense.

But on the bright side, everyone is still a good brother who fights devils together, and no one dares to openly sabotage the United and Unification War of Resistance.

And now, the Eighth Route Army is actually putting on a posture of attacking the position of the national army.

This made the national troops on the position suddenly nervous.

"Tuanza, the Eighth Route Army seems to be attacking?" The chief of staff pushed the black round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with a solemn expression.

"It's not like it's on the offensive." The adjutant on the side showed a puzzled expression on his face, "If it is an attack, the Eighth Route Army will definitely fire at our position first." ”

"Pass the order down and get ready for battle!"

The commander of the National Army graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and led the troops to fight with the devil with real swords and guns, and he was quite calm.

After a pause, the commander of the national army added: "No one is allowed to shoot without my order!" ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

The chief of staff and the adjutant were all solemn, turned around and went to deliver the order.

The commander of the National Army walked quickly to the telephone, quickly shook the handle, and put the phone to his ear: "Hey, this is the 132nd regiment, please take over the division headquarters immediately!" ”

Just as the commander of the National Army reported to his superiors, more than 20 tanks and more than 30 armored vehicles of the Independent Brigade were about to arrive at the forward positions of the National Army.

The soldiers of the national army on the position pulled the bolts of their guns one after another and prepared for battle, as if facing a great enemy.

In terms of combat effectiveness, these national army units still have them, after all, they are troops that fight with devils on the battlefield.

But the combat effectiveness of these national armies is not as good as that of the devils, let alone compared with the new regiment of troops equipped with American-style equipment.

But after all, the opposite side was the Eighth Route Army, and the national army did not dare to fire the first shot, so as not to be accused of sabotaging the unification of the War of Resistance.

Just as the arrows and crossbows of both sides were pulling out and firing at the last moment, the tanks of the Eighth Route Army stopped at a distance of sixty or seventy meters from the forward positions of the Nationalist Army.

The infantry of the Eighth Route Army also stopped.

The national troops on the position were all confused.

What's going on?

Just when the national army was stunned, the Eighth Route Army took out the marching pot one after another and began to make a fire to rebel.

This time, Li Yunlong earned a large number of tanks, and Chu Yunfei's independent brigade was also divided into more than 40 vehicles, as well as more than 70 armored vehicles and more than 500 vehicles.

However, most of them are Xiafei tanks, and there are only more than 10 Leopard tanks.

Although the tank cadets selected by the independent brigade have just graduated from the tank school of the Eighth Route Army in Taiyuan and are not good at combat effectiveness, there is no problem at all in starting the tank.

The commander of the National Army and the officers and staff officers looked at this scene with a confused expression.

What is this going to do?

Demonstrate? Show of force?

"Send a few people to ask, what does the Eight Roads want to do?" The commander of the National Legion gave the order.

"Yes." The adjutant immediately arranged a few soldiers and walked quickly to the side of the Eighth Route Army.

At a distance of sixty or seventy meters, both sides can almost see each other's faces.

The commander, adjutant and chief of staff of the National Army still looked solemn, raised their binoculars and saw the barrels and machine guns of tanks and armored vehicles pointing at the positions of the national army.

Although the strength of the two sides is about the same, with the equipment of the Eighth Road, they can easily defeat their regiment and capture their positions.

"Chu Yunfei, this kid, is really rich." The commander of the National Legion sighed with emotion.

Speaking of which, the commander of the National Army and Chu Yunfei are both students of the fifth phase of Huangpu, and the two sides have had a relationship.

But now, Chu Yunfei has nearly 30,000 troops under his command, comparable to a group army, equipped with tanks and heavy artillery, as well as aircraft air support.

And his regiment has less than a thousand troops.

Chu Yun flew through the days of the commander of the group army, and he still lived a bitter life.

It's really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away.

After only a few minutes, the soldiers who had gone to interrogate ran back and reported to the commander of the National Army: "Tuanza, the Eighth Route is engaged in military exercises. ”

"Where can't you do military exercises?" The commander of the national army suddenly said angrily, "Do you have to go to the front of our position? What should I do if the gun goes off? Did he, Chu Yunfei, take this responsibility? ”

"Tuanza, what now?" The adjutant asked.

"Let the brothers turn off the insurance and wait and see what happens." The commander of the National Army looked solemn.

The momentum of the Eighth Route Army just now, as if it was going to really attack, made the commander of the National Army nervous.

But when he learned that the Eighth Route Army would not attack, the commander of the National Army felt that he could do it again.

"Yes." The adjutant hurried to give orders to the battalions, lest any of the brothers go off with their guns and make a big mistake.

However, in less than half an hour, all kinds of meat buns, white flour buns, and the smell of meat wafted to the position of the national army.

On the position of the national army, there was a sudden sound of swallowing saliva.

Immediately afterward, the sound of swallowing saliva became one.

The heads of the soldiers of the national army poked out of the trenches, and their eyes looked directly at the temporary camp of the Eighth Route Army opposite.

On the camp, a marching cauldron was erected, and the cooks of the Eighth Route Army wearing white aprons were busy.

"It smells so good!"

"It seems to be the smell of meat buns, and there are white flour buns."

"Platoon commander, I'm hungry..."

"Fuck off, do you think the old man isn't hungry?"

On the position of the national army, a whisper suddenly sounded.

At present, there is a severe drought in Henan Province, and the national army cannot collect grain, although the national army has the grain and salary issued by the government, but most of the heads are greedy for ink by the officers above, and the military salary is needless to say, the currency issued by the government has depreciated seriously, and it is impossible to buy anything at all.

The food distributed by the Quartermaster Department is not only small, but also mixed with a large number of stones, and every meal is so rare that it can shine a human figure.

As for meat and oily water, it is even more impossible.

In these cases, the main forces of the descendants of the national army are better, but they are not much better.

Many soldiers of the national army are yellow and thin, how much combat effectiveness can they have?

At present, the soldiers of the national army smelled the long-lost smell of meat buns, and they were seduced at once, their eyes stared straight at it, and there was nothing else in their eyes.

After about 10 minutes, the first batch of meat buns had been baked, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were eating there.

In addition to meat buns, there are also white flour buns and oily noodles, as well as scallion pancakes.

Seeing this situation, the eyes of the national troops in the trenches and foxholes were about to pop out.

"It's said that the Eighth Route Army is rich, and this is so damn rich."

At this moment, the eight roads on the opposite side shouted: "The brothers of the national army on the other side, you can come over and have lunch together, fresh meat buns, steamed buns and oily noodles." ”

The Eighth Route Army was enthusiastic, smiling, and shouting while eating meat buns, steamed buns, and oily noodles.

At first, the soldiers of the national army were still a little afraid of their superiors.

But when one of the soldiers of the national army climbed out of the trench, a large number of soldiers of the national army followed closely behind.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a large number of national soldiers poured out of the entire defense line of the 132nd Regiment, rushing towards the camp of the Eighth Route Army.

When the battalion and company commander in the trench saw this, he was stunned on the spot, looked at each other, and did not know what to do at all.

"Smack!"

The commander of the National Army couldn't help but change his face when he saw this scene in the command headquarters, and he took out his pistol and immediately shot him into the air, and his tone was fierce:

"Give me all back, whoever dares to take a step forward will be killed!"

But at this moment, more than 20 tanks and more than 30 armored vehicles of the Eighth Route Army, with their gun barrels and large-caliber machine guns, turned in unison, pointing in the direction of the National Army headquarters.

"Rack up the heavy machine gun ..."

The commander of the national army suddenly turned pale, and the voice of the order stopped abruptly.

Because he saw that a large number of the Eighth Route Army had taken the initiative to meet them, mixed with the soldiers of the 132nd Regiment.

These soldiers of the Eighth Route Army showed enthusiastic smiles, hooked shoulders with the soldiers of the National Army, and called them brothers.

At this time, if he ordered to shoot, he would definitely shoot the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army as well.

Shooting deserters is nothing, but shooting soldiers of the Eighth Route Army is to undermine the united front of the National War of Resistance.

But what made the commander of the National Army even more shocked was that more than 20 tank guns and dozens of large-caliber heavy machine guns had been aimed at his regimental headquarters.

The next second he gives the order to shoot, the entire regimental headquarters will be wiped out immediately, and there will be no scum left.

"Tuanza, what should I do now?" The chief of staff asked in a deep voice.

"Report the situation to the division headquarters immediately." The captain of the national army took a deep breath, he already had a bad premonition.

About two hours later, the commander, adjutant and chief of staff of the National Army, as well as more than 100 cronies and key soldiers, withdrew from their positions in disarray.

The soldiers and officers of the 132nd Regiment of the National Army who went to the Eighth Route Army for dinner only returned a few people.

These more than 100 cronies and backbone soldiers are all from the national army teaching team, even if they eat bran every day, they are also loyal to Principal Chang, and these backbones are basically serving as squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders.

When the soldiers of the National Army arrived at the camp of the Eighth Route Army, they were full of meat buns, vegetables, sweet steamed buns and oily noodles.

After eating and drinking, they visited the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, such as American semi-automatic rifles, American submachine guns, large-caliber heavy machine guns, tanks and armored vehicles, as well as various luxurious weapons such as mortars, mountain artillery and anti-tank rocket launchers, which opened the eyes of the soldiers of the National Army.

In addition, these soldiers came over in disobedience, and I heard that there is meat to eat every day on the Eighth Road.

After this set of moves, most of the soldiers of the national army switched to the Eighth Route Army, and only a few of the national soldiers who ate and drank ran back.

……

The news reached the headquarters of the Independent Brigade of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Xinxiang.

"Deputy Regiment Commander, this method really worked, in just one day today, our independent brigade has expanded by more than 2,000 people."

Fang Ligong reported to Chu Yunfei with a smile on his face.

After seeing the disaster relief of the Eighth Route Army in Henan Province, Fang Ligong, like Chu Yunfei, is already a die-hard supporter of the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army.

Not only the positions of the 132nd Regiment, but also the positions of the other two regiments of the Nationalist Army, the independent brigade also used the method of consent, and achieved immediate results.

This method was obtained by the Qin political commissar of the Independent Brigade who went to the 129th Division to exchange and learn from experience.

"Haha." Chu Yunfei was overjoyed when he heard this, "These soldiers are simply condescending on the side of the national army, and only when they come to our Eighth Route Army can they exert their true combat effectiveness!" ”

"What the deputy head of the regiment said is very true." Fang Ligong nodded sympathetically, "Most of these soldiers are veterans who fought with the Japanese army on the battlefield and have rich combat experience, but they can't eat enough on the side of the national army, and they can't even eat enough, so how can they talk about combat effectiveness?" ”

"Pass my orders and continue to increase the force." Chu Yunfei's tone was full of confidence and expectation, "Our independent brigade must participate in the next battle against devils." ”

Fang Ligong: "Yes! ”

There was a great drought in Henan Province, and the Eighth Route Army provided disaster relief.

Not only did the common people of Henan Province turn to the Eighth Route Army in an all-round way, but even some units of the National Army in the First War Zone also switched to the Eighth Route Army.

In this disaster, the low-level soldiers of the national army are also miserable, and they are not much better than the common people.

That is, the devils of the North China Front Army were killed by the Eighth Route Army.

Otherwise, it would be like another time and space, the devils of the North China Front Army took advantage of the drought in Henan Province to launch an attack.

Under the micro-manipulation of Principal Chang, the national army was defeated for hundreds of miles, and the common people were left unattended, and the corpses were scattered for hundreds of miles, and they were starving all over the field.

The food on the side of the Eighth Route Army not only had white noodles for the main soldiers, but also meat at the two ends for three days.

This naturally attracted the low-level soldiers of the national army.

After all, many soldiers of the national army are strong men who have been pulled, and even if they are not strong men who have been pulled, they are just trying to eat as soldiers.

Not only the independent brigade of the new regiment, but also the 129th Division in Henan Province is also increasing its efforts to absorb soldiers from the national army.
