I am a wolf warrior

Liang Gang sighed deeply, and continued, "However, I also want to tell Brother Yunfei from the bottom of my heart that the twelve M1A1 75mm mountain guns are more suitable for you."

"This can't be done." Chu Yunfei was secretly happy, but on the surface he said with embarrassment, "The principal specifically explained that this battalion of mountain cannons should be distributed to Brother Tie Feng's 94th Brigade, how dare Yunfei disobey the principal's order?"

"I will explain it to the principal." Liang Gang said, "but the firepower must be concentrated to exert greater power. Brother Yunfei will understand such a simple truth. If brother Yunfei refuses to want these twelve American mountain cannons, then I can only return the weapons and equipment of that regiment to Brother Yunfei."

Fang Ligong was already dumbfounded.

What are these two doing?There is such a thing?

Chu Yunfei said helplessly: "Okay, then I will accept it."

Chapter 338 Who will hit first?

Seeing that Chu Yunfei exchanged a regiment of eliminated national equipment from Liang Gang for twelve American 75 mountain guns, Fang Ligong felt that his brain was not enough.

Is there such an operation?

Liang Gang thought for a while and said, "Brother Yunfei, before parting, I still have something unclear and I want to ask for advice."

Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "Brother Tie Feng, do you want to ask me, if the Japanese army really launched an attack on Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, should we save them or not?"

"Exactly." Liang Gang nodded and said, "Brother Yunfei, please teach me."

Chu Yunfei didn't answer in a hurry, and asked Fang Ligong, "What do you think, Brother Ligong?"

Fang Ligong said without hesitation: "The humble staff believes that we should provide help within our ability."

"Huh? Brother Li Gong's answer surprised me." Chu Yunfei said with a smile, "When Li Yunlong's troops were trapped in Cangyunling, I wanted to help, but you firmly opposed it."

"Oh, I didn't see the problem thoroughly enough at the time." Fang Ligong sighed, "I only saw that the Eighth Route Army was our theoretical ally and would be eliminated sooner or later, but I didn't see that at least at this stage, the Japanese army is the biggest enemy." , Before defeating the Japanese army, we still need to establish a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army.”

Having said this, Fang Ligong said again: "The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has fully proved this truth."

It has to be said that the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan slapped many senior Kuomintang generals in the face, but it also woke up many people and brought them back on the right track.

Fang Ligong is one of them.

Fang Ligong then asked Chu Yunfei: "What do you think?"

Chu Yunfei looked cold, and said: "My opinion, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! Don't save it!"

"Ah?" Chu Yunfei's answer was also beyond Fang Ligong's expectation.

After a long while, Fang Ligong said: "Lu Zuo, you insisted on saving him at that time, why didn't you save him now?"

"The reason is very simple." Chu Yunfei said, "At this time and that time, at the time of Cangyunling, the Eighth Route Army's armed forces were still very weak, but the Japanese army was unprecedentedly strong. The Eighth Route Army may be wiped out by the Japanese army at any time. Therefore, we We should try our best to preserve this armed force and share the strong pressure of the Japanese army for us."

"But now, the strength of the Eighth Route Army is no longer what it used to be."

"Especially the three regiments of Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie."

"The defense zones of these three regiments are distributed in the shape of a zigzag, forming an angle of mutual confrontation."

"And the Communist Party has always been good at winning people's hearts, so it has won the hearts of the local people."

"The strength of Li Yunlong's three regiments now seems to be no longer inferior to that of our sole brigade of the Jinsui Army and the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, and even surpasses them in some respects."

"On the other hand, the Japanese army is in decline."

"Even if Zhongtiaoshan wins this time, it will not be enough to reverse this trend."

"So now, it's time to weaken the Eighth Route Army with the help of the Japanese, so that we can eliminate them more easily if the civil war breaks out."

"So that's it." Fang Ligong had a feeling of a sudden enlightenment.

"Travelers look at problems with a more thorough and far-reaching perspective than humble officials."

Chu Yunfei chuckled, and said again: "But there is one thing, it's okay to use the hands of the Japanese to weaken the Eighth Route Army, but it's not okay to join forces with the Japanese to deal with the Eighth Route Army."

This sentence was addressed to Liang Gang.

"Okay, I understand." Liang Gang nodded.

"Brother Yunfei, let's say goodbye to you and my brother."

Watching Liang Gang get on his horse and go away, Fang Ligong said sincerely: "Brigade seat is really a good way. With a regiment of eliminated national equipment, it can be exchanged for an American-style mountain artillery battalion. I admire you."

Chu Yunfei snorted and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

Fang Ligong whispered again: "But the equipment of Li Yunlong's battalion?"

Chu Yunfei's face turned cold, and he said, "Brother Li Gong, don't worry, Li Yunlong will spit it out sooner or later."

After a pause, he continued: "When the Japanese army launched a raid on Northwest Shanxi, when Li Yunlong came to the door and begged our only brigade to send troops to rescue, will he not return it?"

……

"Return?" Li Yunlong said, "Return the fart!"

"It got into our old Li's stomach, and you still want to take it back? Just dream."

Zhao Gang was a little embarrassed by Li Yunlong's robbing, but he still said patiently: "Old Li, when we first came to Northwest Shanxi, we were seriously short of weapons and equipment, so we should borrow Chu Yunfei's right, which is reasonable. But now our equipment situation has improved a lot.”

"Even if the equipment of that battalion is returned to Chu Yunfei, the impact will not be great."

"So I think, out of the consideration of improving the relationship between the two parties, we should return the batch of equipment as soon as possible. After all, you promised to return it back then, so you can't just keep your word."

Li Yunlong became impatient: "Old Zhao, you are really a bookworm."

"Is there too much weapons and equipment? Shenquan's county brigade is no longer needed, but can be used by the district team, and the district team can be used by the militia when it is no longer needed."

"How can I return it?"

"Why do you turn your elbows out?"

Zhao Gang said: "I don't think there are too many guns, and I don't want to bend my elbows, but to improve the relationship between the two sides."

Xing Zhiguo also said: "Old Li, I also think the political commissar is right. If Chu Yunfei turns against us because of the equipment of this battalion, the devils can only take advantage of it."

"You know what a fart." Li Yunlong was not polite to Xing Zhiguo.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are still at the same level as him, so they have to give some face, but Xing Zhiguo has been Li Yunlong's subordinate since Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and he always scolds whenever he wants.

Xing Zhiguo darkened his face and didn't dare to say anything.

In the end, Wang Ye said: "Political commissar, deputy head of punishment, don't worry."

"Chu Yunfei won't turn against us for the obsolete equipment of this battalion, and it won't be long before he will ask us for something. At that time, he will officially express his position and give us the equipment of this battalion."

"Really? Chu Yunfei would really ask our Eighth Route Army?"

"Would the devil really attack the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army first?"

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were dubious.

……

"The question now is who to hit first?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced at the officers present at the meeting.

This is a staff meeting on the general policy of Shanxi's public security war in the second half of the year. All officers above the second lieutenant of the headquarters can participate, and they can also speak freely at the military meeting.

But most junior officers just join in the fun.

Only a very small number of people can really put forward their own opinions.

Although it was a staff meeting, senior generals such as Miyano Doichi, the head of the Second Konoe Division, Jing Guanren, the head of the No.30 Sixth Division, and No. Yuichiro, the head of the No.30 Seventh Division, also They were all present, but these old devils would not easily express their opinions.

The most active ones were the section chiefs of the headquarters.

Jiro Sakuma, the head of the intelligence section, said, "Of course we will fight the Eighth Route Army first."

"Why fight the Eighth Route Army first?" Yoshio Iwaguchi said, "Tell me your reason."

"Hayi." Sakuma Jiro paused, strode to the large map posted on the wall of the conference room, pointed to the map and said, "After the Central China Army on Zhongtiao Mountain was annihilated by the imperial army, the Jinsui Army in Shanxi The Imperial Army and the Central China Army have only two small areas of control left, and the threat to the Imperial Army is no longer as great as before."

"On the other hand, the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army has expanded unprecedentedly."

"Only in terms of the actual controlled area, more than 70.00% of the land and more than half of the population of Shanxi Province are under the control of the Eighth Route Army."

The whole conference room exploded in an instant.

The officers present were in disbelief.

Those senior generals were silent.

Because they all knew that what Jiro Sakuma said was true.

As the head of the intelligence section, Sakuma Jiro knows this information better than anyone else.

After a pause, Jiro Sakuma said again: "So, not to mention the whole of North China, at least in Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army has replaced the Central China Army and the Jinsui Army as the number one enemy of the Imperial Army!"

"In view of this, I think the Eighth Route Army should be attacked first!"

As soon as the words fell, another major officer stood up and said, "No, I should fight the Central Army first!"

When everyone looked back, it was Yasushi Inoue, the head of the communications section.

Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "What's the reason?"

Inoue Yasushi said: "The reason is that after the Battle of the Central Plains, although the China's heavy military group entrenched in Zhongtiao Mountain has been wiped out, Pang Bingxun's troops are still entrenched near Jincheng in southern Shanxi. If the imperial army launches a battle against the Eighth Route Army at this time, then Pang Bingxun's troops and Yan Xishan's troops in western Shanxi are very likely to lend a helping hand, and even if they don't, they will definitely take the opportunity to expand their territory."

Sakuma Jiro said: "Mr. Inoue, if we attack the Central China Army and the Jinsui Army first, wouldn't the Eighth Route Army help? Wouldn't they take the opportunity to expand their territory?"

"Of course it will." Inoue Yasushi said, "But it is impossible to deal with the Eighth Route Army without hesitation. It will give the Jinsui Army and the Central China Army a lot of time and space for development and growth. As well as the Jinsui Army, it's just a piece of cake, and they can win a complete victory in a month or two."

After a pause, he continued: "In such a short time, how much territory can the Eighth Route Army expand? Therefore, I think we should adopt the principle of first easy and then difficult. If the remnants of the Jinsui Army finally concentrate on dealing with the Eighth Route Army, the security situation in Shanxi will be completely reversed."

"I think Mr. Sakuma's opinion is right. The Eighth Route Army should be attacked first."

"No, I think what Mr. Inoue said is correct. The Central Army and the Jinsui Army should be attacked first."

"Idiots, you don't even know the horror of the Eighth Route Army. You must fight the Eighth Route Army first."

"Baga, as a soldier, as an imperial warrior, don't you feel ashamed?"

The end result, without exception, was that a good staff meeting turned into a debate between two different opinions, which turned into a quarrel, and finally rose to a personal attack.

"Enough!" Yoshio Iwamatsu could only stop him.

"Shut up, and no personal attacks are allowed."

Then he turned his gaze to Takuya Mizuhara, and asked with a smile, "Mizuhara-kun, what's your opinion?"

The eyes of the old devils turned to Mizuhara Takuya. Mizuhara Takuya also fought in the defense of Taiyuan. It can be said that he became famous in the first battle. The old devils are very optimistic about him.

However, Takuya Mizuhara was very low-key, waved his hand and said, "I listen to your Excellency, Commander."

As soon as Mizuhara Takuya's words fell, the military officers present also expressed their opinions to persuade Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Yoshio Iwamatsu glanced over several division heads including Miyano Doichi, Iseki Ren, and No Yuichiro.

Miyano Michiichi and the other old devils were looking at their noses and noses and their hearts, as if they were asleep. Obviously, they had no position on this issue, and it was acceptable to hit anyone first.

"Then hit Chu Yunfei first!" Yoshio Yansong said with a dark face.

"First eliminate Chu Yunfei's troops, then eliminate Liang Gang's troops, and finally deal with the Eighth Route Army."

While speaking, a communications soldier hurried in and handed a telegram to Inoue Yasushi, the communications section chief.

Yasushi Inoue got up and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is the information just sent by the Front Army Headquarters, saying that the National Government has just provided Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang with two regiments of American equipment, and there are even twelve regiments. Menshanpao, in view of the fact that the threat of these two forces is becoming more and more serious, Your Excellency the General suggests that our First Army should give priority to it.”

"Suoga." Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "Now there is no need to argue."

The Japanese army soon began to prepare.

……

"what?"

Chu Yunfei stood up in surprise, and said in disbelief: "Brother Li Gong, you can't make a mistake, right?"

"Traveler, you can't be wrong." Fang Ligong said solemnly, "I have asked the intelligence department to verify it repeatedly."

"Really?" Chu Yunfei still couldn't believe it, because the Japanese army's choice was completely contrary to his judgment, which made him emotionally unacceptable.

Not only because of the embarrassment of misjudgment.

It is also because of the real threat faced by the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army.

If the Shanxi Japanese army really took their unique brigade as a priority target, their single brigade alone would not be able to stop it anyway, and Liang Gang's independent 94th brigade would not be able to stop it either.

At that moment Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Li Gong, let the intelligence department continue to verify."

"Okay." Fang Ligong nodded helplessly.
