Chapter 13 Drain the manpower and drain them!

"Ahh Is this true? ”

"Tuanza! Do we really want to give up the identity of the Jin Suijun and switch to the Central Army of the Chairman of the National Committee? ”

Chu Yunfei's self-detonation behavior shocked Fang Ligong, who was in the same league.

This is not to say how loyal he is to Yan Laoxi, being a soldier is nothing more than the pursuit of power and glory and wealth, and it is the same for whoever he gives his life.

The real reason for his shock is very simple, that is, because his own thick-eyed and big-eyed Tuanzao actually secretly made arrangements to run away with a bucket behind his back, and even his own adjutant was kept in the dark.

However, it is good to think about it carefully, after all, the central army is definitely more promising than the local troops, and there may be a chance to be promoted several levels in the future.

"Yes, although Chu is only a fifth-term student of Huangpu, he has a good personal relationship with Du and Qiu in private."

"Now that the expeditionary force is assembled on the DM road, it has not yet officially entered Southeast Asia to fight the enemy. As long as we leave in time, we will be able to catch the last train. ”

"The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, how can he not protect his family and defend the country!"

The matter of defecting to the senior was not a decision made by Chu Yunfei on the spot.

Compared with consolidating the river defense and waiting for the enemy to attack inside Zhongtiao Mountain, this Xiliang fierce general is more inclined to take the initiative to attack and fight the devils on the battlefield.

It's a pity that the current Jin Suijun has long been declining, and there is no strength and capital to support his ideas.

Therefore, changing the flag and going to join a powerful army has become Chu Yunfei's only way out.

It was clear that the expeditionary force, which had not yet attacked, was the ultimate target he had chosen.

After all, looking at the entire Republic of China, in addition to the unscientific Eighth Route Army, that is, this Sino-Chou joint venture force, can have advanced weapons and equipment and stable logistics support at the same time.

"Good, good! The subordinates must swear to follow the group seat! ”

······

"Qian Bojun, don't forget what I just said. When you leave, you can only take one infantry company with you at most, otherwise even if you run to other war zones, Commander Yan will not let you go. ”

After repeatedly admonishing the precautions and discussing the time to act together, Chu Yunfei began to tidy up his military uniform, already in a posture of leaving.

This situation made Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.

It is naturally a good thing that it can be resolved peacefully, after all, none of them wants to fight against the former chief.

But at this moment, a communications soldier broke the harmonious atmosphere in the command room. He stumbled into the house and reported to the officers in front of him:

"Tuanza! Big things are not good! ”

"Our sentinel, in an area three kilometers northwest of Huawang Village, found a group of heavily armed Eighth Route Army. The other party did not hide his whereabouts at all, and now he is heading straight for the station. ”

"What!?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Bojun, who was still full of confidence and praised himself as an anti-X expert, immediately changed his complexion.

The Eighth Route Army openly entered Zhongtiao Mountain, which meant that both sides risked tearing their faces. Considering the rumors that have been circulating throughout the province recently, people are famous when they start to do it.

As the battalion commander of the main regiment of the Jin Sui Army, he naturally knew how strong the hard power of his allies was.

To put it mildly, as long as the other party draws out two senior backbone groups, the 358 regiment can be left without eating. With the help of the Air Force, it would not be difficult to annihilate them completely.

"How many of them are there?"

In fact, when asking about the basic situation, Qian Bojun already had the idea of running away in his heart.

After all, the three-kilometer distance can be reached by the Eighth Route Army in more than ten minutes, and it will definitely be too late for its own troops to temporarily build a position now. The terrain of Huawang Village is very unfavorable to the defenders, and if they really fight, they will definitely suffer.

"About five hundred, judging by their marching ranks, it should be the size of a battalion."

After hearing the specific number of people, Qian Bojun's face was slightly better.

The gap between the two sides in terms of firepower is indeed very large, but their own side has an absolute advantage in terms of troops. Unless the commander of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side is a reckless man, there is a high probability that he will not act easily.

Regarding the reaction of his subordinates, Chu Yunfei was very dissatisfied. He glared at Qian and Zhang, and reprimanded with anger:

"Rice bucket, what a panic!"

"If the Eighth Route Army wants to take the initiative to start a war, then it is the dive bombers that are coming now, not the infantry who do not even hide their whereabouts."

"Give me the command that the brethren put away all their weapons. With our little family background, it will definitely not play a deterrent role. If one of the guns goes off, it will give people a reason to officially send troops. ”

After arranging a series of back hands, Chu Yunfei led the guards to the commanding heights, and then raised the telescope in his hand and began to observe the approaching Eighth Route Army.

After a moment, General Xiliang showed a puzzled expression.

The allies had only occupied the northern part of the village, and had set up a circular defensive position five hundred meters from the entrance of the village, and he could not guess what they were thinking.

"This style is a little familiar, it seems that I met an old man today."

Chu Yunfei is not the kind of waste who eats empty salaries, he can see the reputation of the Eighth Route Army at a glance.

The makeshift position was surrounded by a command post and mortars, with light and heavy machine guns at the front, with little space between the infantry squads.

Once the battle starts, the opponent can meet the enemy in either direction and stay where it is waiting for reinforcements.

"Tuanza, what do you mean by this gang of eight roads? As soon as the position is repaired, the pot is buried and cooked, and you can't come all the way to cook for a picnic. ”

Seeing that the allies on the opposite side began to dig pits and set up pots, Fang Ligong's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of question marks.

Just as the two were talking, bursts of fragrance came to their faces. Jin Suijun, who hadn't eaten meat for a long time, began to swallow their saliva, and even the only remaining people in the village poked their heads out.

······

On the other side, the position of the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment.

"Regiment commander, do you think our deputy division commander's method really works? How can the 358th Regiment be said to be the main force of the Jin Sui Army, is it possible that they can't even eat a meal of meat? ”

"Besides, Zhongtiao Mountain is now Yan Laoxi's territory. Let's come in directly, and we're at a loss in public opinion. ”

As soon as these words came out, Kong Jie suddenly showed a disdainful gaze. He first knocked his cigarette pouch pot, and then said unhurriedly:

"What main regiment?"

"It's 1942, and the main regiment can't even unify the caliber of weapons. With their current situation, it is a question of whether they will be able to survive this winter, let alone eat meat as a luxury. ”

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity, we are good allies who have come to help our allies through this difficult situation."

That's right, the actions of the Independent Regiment now are one of the plans of the infantry experts to disintegrate the Jin system.

For this duel between fellow villagers in Wutai Mountain, the plan that the deputy division commander came up with was absolutely to the point and deadly. As long as there are no surprises, the masters of existentialism will definitely not survive the middle of this year.

First of all, the infantry experts planned to forcefully dismantle the existing 60,000 Jin Sui troops. This step may seem difficult, but as long as you prescribe the right medicine, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

For this reason, the headquarters directly published the evidence of the egg dancer's collaboration with the enemy in the province.

From the end of 1940, with the deterioration of the living environment of the Jin Sui army, Yan Laoxi began to repeatedly break through the national bottom line.

From then on, he began to secretly contact Yoshio Shinozuka of the First Army, trying to obtain military and economic assistance from the other party.

At the Baibishan meeting, the master of existentialism even directly showed his cards and offered his own price to the devils.

All of the above events were recorded by the intelligence agencies of the Eighth Route Army, Guozhuan and Acho.

Especially the former, after the 129th Division completely took the entire Taiyuan City, the soldiers even found part of the list of supplies given by the First Army to the Jin Sui Army in the unburned archives.

Under such ironclad evidence, it is useless for anyone to defend it.

Having worded in his mind, Kong Jie explained to the little soldier who had just entered the unit:

"What are ordinary people participating in the Jin Sui Army for? Isn't it just to drive away the enemy and defend the country, and by the way, eat another full meal? ”

"Now that the devil has been eliminated by our Eighth Route Army, his existential master has been accused of collaborating with the enemy. Not only does he have no food, but he also has to serve the traitor, who wants to mess with him. ”

"What's more, you also know what the situation in the province is, as long as you get out of the mountains, you can live a good life. If you're a fellow countryman, will you leave with us? “

What Kong Jie said just now is actually the second plan deployed by infantry experts against the Jin system: draining the manpower inside Zhongtiao Mountain.

The so-called draining is naturally not to open a conscription bill that squeezes them dry, but to escort the people in the area to take the initiative to get out of the mountains through a long stream of water.

The goal of this stage is to make the existentialist masters completely lose the countryside, food and military resources, so that the Jin system will never turn over.

However, since ancient times, the Chinese have a strong homeland plot. Getting the masses of people to voluntarily leave the land where their ancestors have lived for generations seems to be an intractable task.

But!

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

When Yan Laoxi reversed the wheel in Zhongtiao Mountain and implemented the Futian system more than 1,000 years ago, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army had already implemented a policy of rent reduction and interest reduction in ninety percent of the area of Jin Province.

For the first time, the cultivated land, which had almost no rent, gave the people a surplus of grain in their hands.

With the growing purchasing power, the market for industrial and handicraft products has also expanded, which has greatly stimulated the development of industry and commerce in the city.

In the past, the scene of withering and economic depression has been swept away, and a new economic cycle has been established between urban and rural areas, which is the real scene of vitality and competition for all things.

Presumably, even if you love your family again, you can't refuse a world without oppression.

While the two were talking, the first batch of lunch had been successfully cooked. Under the operation of the soldiers of the cooking class, the lunch boxes with two meat and two vegetables were packed into bamboo baskets.

Looking at the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who were monitoring him from a distance, Kong Jie smiled slightly and said to the young little soldier:

"Go and pass the word on the other side."

"Let's just say that I am an old acquaintance with the head of the 358th Regiment, so let them not be so nervous. They are all people who have beaten devils, and there is no need to face each other with swords and make the atmosphere so stiff. ”

"It's a cold day, let's have a hot meal together."

"Yes!"

Just as he was about to leave, Kong Jie stopped the little soldier again, and then pointed to a basket of boxed lunches and said:

"Take these with you, and if there are still people in the village, give them to eat with them. Remember, be gentle and don't scare people. ”

······

Seeing the soldiers of the Independent Regiment coming over, and carrying a basket of lunch boxes containing delicious food, the position of the 358th Regiment suddenly exploded.

The allies didn't even bring weapons, and anyone could see the sincerity of their words.

What's more, people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you'll be hungry.

Adhering to the idea that the law does not blame the public, the Jin Suijun, who were already hungry, left their posts one after another and began to receive lunch under the command of the leader of the cooking squad.

"Don't rob it! Enough for today! ”

"People who don't like to eat rice can wait, millet egg pancakes will arrive in a while."

Under the control of several company commanders, nearly 100 soldiers of the 358th Regiment were like hungry wolves, and they began to output two meat and two vegetables in the lunch box.

After a delicious meal, the two sides gradually became more active.

"The Eighth Route Army is really rich, do you eat like this every day? Even in 1937, our Jin Suijun could only eat 4 taels of canned meat and 2 taels of dried vegetables and pickles at most every day. ”

"That's it, and it's often deducted."

"If I can eat like this every day, I'm willing to fight with the devil with a bayonet."

Hearing this, the surrounding Jin Suijun also looked over, and everyone seemed to know the answer. If you can eat enough at once, it will really be a fairy day.

"Of course, there's no need to lie to you."

"If you get a chance to go out, you can ask someone on the side of the road. We are the backbone of the regiment, and the regimental headquarters is generally stationed in the village, and food is an open matter. ”

"According to me, you don't really need to be soldiers. Now that the whole of Shanxi has been liberated, it is also a good livelihood to go home and farm. It's not a dream to work hard for a month, and it's not a dream to buy a bike during the autumn harvest. ”

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment were stunned. Listening to this tone, it seems that in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army, there are still troops with better food and salaries.

That's so blissful, isn't it?

With Chu Yunfei's acquiescence, the feelings between the two sides gradually began to heat up, and the soldiers of the last two battalions all left their posts.

To put it bluntly, everyone is a fellow villager in Shanxi, and they are their own people from the root. The 358th Regiment has not participated in any anti-X operations, so there is really no reason to fight each other.

After the meal was full, the soldiers of the Independent Regiment continued to prepare lunch for the people of Huawang Village, but Chu Yunfei came to the position of the Independent Regiment.

"Brother Kong, since the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, you and I haven't seen each other for more than a year. Thank you for your lunch, and on behalf of the brothers of the 358th Regiment, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks. ”

"Hey, it seems that Chief Yan is gone, and I don't know what will happen to him."

"In three days, I will leave the Jin Sui Army. Some of the soldiers under my command want to go home to farm, and I ask Brother Kong to make it easier. ”

"Huh?" (End of chapter)
