In fact, the two of them had already been mentally prepared for the current result.
It would be really weird if Chen Bulei could really bring over the beautiful equipment of the two divisions.
At the moment Chu Yunfei said: "It's okay, the principal can allocate the beautiful equipment to each of our regiments. , our Northwest Shanxi is not the most severe situation."
"Hey, if the senior generals of the entire party and country are like you two, who can risk their lives on the battlefield, and can be so reasonable in the officialdom, why is the situation of the Anti-Japanese War like this?" Chen Bulei shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, , what the party-state lacks most is greed for life and fear of death on the battlefield, and in the officialdom you compete for fools and trash."
Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang didn't take the wrist this time, so Chen Bulei really couldn't take it.
"Oh, I've lost my composure." Chen Bulei soon realized that it was too much.
When he said this to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, it was unavoidable to be abrupt.
"There is one more thing." Chen Bulei said, "Before coming to Northwest Shanxi, the Standing Committee Chairman repeatedly told me to make it clear to you two."
"Director Chen, please tell me," Liang Gang said.
Chu Yunfei also said: "We are all ears."
Chen Bu nodded and said: "The party-state once again eased the relationship with the CCP out of helplessness, but you must have a steelyard in your heart. The Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are enemies, and sooner or later they will be resolved, so you must do it secretly. Get ready, once the time is right, you will be able to cover your ears with lightning speed..."
Chen Bulei didn't continue to say what happened with the lightning speed.
But how could Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang not understand?Immediately nodded solemnly.
Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Director Chen, please tell the principal that although we get along well with the Eighth Route Army, we have never forgotten the differences between doctrines and camps."
Liang Gang also said solemnly: "We are always prepared."
"Okay, both of you are indeed generals as the Chairman of the Standing Committee said."
Chen Bulei said happily: "Since that's the case, then I don't have much to say."
Chen Bulei declined Chu Yunfei's invitation to stay for a few days, and returned the same way that afternoon.
Chu Yunfei kept sending Chen Bulei across the Tongpu Railway, and asked Sun Ming to continue escorting him with the Tiger Squadron, and told Sun Ming to send him across the Yellow River Ferry safely.
Watching Chen Bulei go away, Liang Gang said quietly, "Brother Yunfei, it seems that we will inevitably have a battle with the Eighth Route Army after all. It is really depressing to say."
"Of course." Chu Yunfei said, "There will definitely be a battle between us and the Eighth Route Army."
"No, Brother Yunfei, you didn't understand what I meant." Liang Gang said, "I mean, before the victory of the War of Resistance, there may be a war between us and the Eighth Route Army."
"That's not enough." Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Brother Tie Feng, don't you see it? The party-state's easing of relations with the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army at this time is a wonderful move to bring disaster to the east. ! If it is handled well, we can use the power of the Japanese to achieve the goal of weakening or even eradicating the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.”
"Oh, really?" Liang Gang said in amazement, "I haven't thought about that yet."
Chu Yunfei smiled, and said again: "Brother Tiefeng, I dare to bet you that the Japanese army in Shanxi will definitely target the Eighth Route Army next. To weaken them, the think tanks of the headquarters and the attendants finally figured out the key this time."
"I see." Liang Gang suddenly realized.
……
In Zhaojiayu.
The independent group once again convened the group party committee.
Zhao Gang said: "How about we look for Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang?"
"After the disastrous defeat at Zhongtiao Mountain, our relationship with the Jinsui Army and the Central Army has eased. The Chu Yunfei Department and the Liang Gang Department have to transport supplies from the rear anyway."
"You can save a lot on shipping if you buy direct from us."
"We can also help the folks sell it at a good price, what do you think?"
"I think it will work." Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "This is called taking what you need."
"Fuck it." Li Yunlong vetoed very bluntly, "I won't say what about Liang Gang, but I know exactly what kind of virtue Chu Yunfei is."
"It's absolutely unambiguous about beating devils this shit."
"In the face of devils, I am willing to join hands with us."
"But it's not the slightest bit of mercy to play tricks on us behind the scenes."
"Old Xing didn't know when he came here, but you, Old Zhao, haven't you forgotten about the Lijiazhen incident?"
"Go to Chu Yunfei for help, this bastard can't exploit us to death? Don't end up losing all the seed money even though it's a bumper harvest."
"I also think the captain is right."
Wang Ye said: "Chu Yunfei is unreliable."
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Gang said helplessly.
"Can't our group pay for it?"
"We just want to buy, and we don't have that much money."
"Currently, only Chu Yunfei's Jinsui Army's Solitary Brigade and Liang Gang's Central Army's 94th Independent Brigade have the strength to eat so much food. I heard that they made a lot of money from Taiyuan."
"Damn it, talking about it makes people angry."
Li Yunlong said: "Old Zhao, Lao Xing, guess how much benefits Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang have gained from Taiyuan?"
Zhao Gang ignored Li Yunlong at all, but Xing Zhiguo asked honestly, "How much did they get?"
"Speaking out will scare you." Li Yunlong said, "The grain alone is more than 100 million catties, and it is all refined grains. In addition to grain, there are tens of thousands of cotton cloths, plus hundreds of thousands of catties. salt!"
"In addition, there are sugar, oil, cigarettes, towels, canned food, and hundreds of carts of miscellaneous goods."
"It's not the biggest income yet. The key is that these two idiots also made more than 50 cash from Taiyuan plus more than 100 million running dog tickets. Damn it, it's really annoying."
"So much?" Xing Zhiguo was almost dumbfounded.
Zhao Gang is also a little regretful, a lot of material expenses.
Only Wang Ye was unmoved, and said: "Head, what's there to be angry about? As big as you are, you can carry as many bowls as you want. Only Chu Yunfei's Jinsui Army Solitary Brigade can fight against a strong city like Taiyuan." Only the 94th Brigade of the Central Army with Liang Gang can do it, but if it is replaced by our three regiments, it will definitely not work."
After a pause, he added, "At least not at this stage."
At this stage, these three regiments really do not have the ability to storm a strong city.
It's okay to make surprises and surprise attacks, but it's not enough to start a serious attack with a stance.
"Oh, I'm just complaining." Li Yunlong said, "However, I have to find a way to let Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang spit out the benefits. How can we do so many benefits without our Lao Li's share?"
"Old Li, don't act recklessly." Zhao Gang instantly became alert.
"The dispute over the weapons and equipment of that battalion last time has not yet been resolved."
"If you dare to reach out again, Chu Yunfei will get impatient no matter how good-tempered he is."
"The relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party has finally eased. You must not cause trouble again."
"If you destroy the united front and the relationship with the Jinsui Army and the Central Army because of a small matter, you and I can't bear the responsibility."
"All right, make sure you don't mess around." Li Yunlong said helplessly.
Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, is there anything you can do?"
Wang Ye said: "Political commissar, I think the head of the group is right. It is definitely not possible to ask Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang for help, but we can do business with them."
"Huh?" Zhao Gang was taken aback when he heard that.
Xing Zhiguo also said, "Is there any difference?"
Li Yunlong was also in a daze and didn't understand at all.
"Of course there is a difference between the two." Wang Ye smiled and said, "If you ask Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang for help, you are begging them, but if you do business with them, it is they are begging us in turn."
Zhao Gang said: "The problem is that we don't have what they want."
"Yes." Xing Zhiguo said, "We only have coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn corn, and millet, as well as unprocessed economic native products such as cotton and tobacco leaves."
"Then find a way to turn it into the material they want."
Wang Ye smiled slightly and said, "We can process wheat into white flour, sweet potatoes into sweet potato vermicelli and even shochu, squeeze peanuts into peanut oil, spin cotton into cloth, and process loose tobacco leaves into Sticks of cigarettes, don't they become a commodity that is in short supply?"
"You've been talking about this for a long time." Zhao Gang said angrily, "White flour, shochu, cotton cloth, oil and salt, and cigarettes are of course good things, and they are also in short supply. If it can’t be processed, we can’t conjure up processing equipment out of thin air, can we?”
Wang Ye said: "If you don't have equipment, then go get it."
After a pause, he said again: "A living person can still make people urinate and suffocate to death."
"That's right." Li Yunlong clapped his hands and said, "If you don't have equipment, then make equipment."
Wang Ye went on to say: "Leader, political commissar, leave the task of making equipment to our Wolf Warrior Squadron."
"Xiao Wang, can you really get the equipment?" Zhao Gang doubted, "If you can't get the processing equipment, and the coarse grains and cash crops of the last bumper harvest will rot in the field, then next year's work will be difficult."
"It's definitely not bad if it rots in the ground." Li Yunlong said, "It can be dried and hidden."
Zhao Gang said: "But the villagers will definitely complain about us, and it will be difficult to do work in the future."
Wang Ye said: "Political commissar, don't worry, we will definitely get processing equipment. If there is no one in Ping'an County, we will go to Taiyuan to do it. If there is no one in Taiyuan, we will go directly to Peiping."
"Haha, it's still Xiao Wang's appetite for me."
Li Yunlong laughed loudly and said: "It is necessary to have this determination."
Zhao Gang made a decision and said, "Okay, that's it."
After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "Now discuss the second task, combat preparation."
"That's right, the battle preparation work is indeed going to be done." Xing Zhiguo echoed, "The 20 Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain have been eaten by devils, which means that the three divisions in southern Shanxi can be freed up. .”
"So if there is no accident, the Japanese army in Shanxi will definitely intensify their raids on us."
"Moreover, our Northwest Shanxi base area is likely to become the priority target of the Japanese army in Shanxi."
"I think so too." Zhao Gang nodded, "Old Li, Xiao Wang, what do you two think?"
Li Yunlong snorted and said: "Our old Li has nothing to say, if the devils dare to come, let them come and go."
"Old Li, you are the target." Zhao Gang said helplessly, "What we are discussing now is the measures we have, how to resist the invasion of devils."
"Old Zhao, you are such a nerd."
Li Yun said unhappily: "The devils haven't come yet, where are the specific measures?"
Zhao Gang was so angry that he could only turn his gaze to Wang Ye and asked, "Xiao Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Yedao: "Political commissar, my opinion is different from yours and deputy head Xing. I think Japan's priority in Shanxi is not the Eighth Route Army, let alone our Northwest Shanxi base."
"Huh?" Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, then said again, "Then who could it be?"
Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said, "I think it will be Chu Yunfei."
……
Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang had already returned to Yunqi Town.
Liang Gang was about to leave, but Chu Yunfei said again: "Brother Tie Feng, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he called Fang Ligong over and asked, "Brother Ligong, has the Second Regiment finished their costume change?"
"Oh, the Second Regiment has just changed to a new outfit." Fang Ligong nodded happily, "After changing to the Meiji equipment, not only the equipment has been improved, but the morale has also improved a lot."
"Okay." Chu Yunfei said, "Where are the replaced weapons and equipment?"
Fang Ligong said: "I'm about to seal up the equipment I've replaced."
"No need." Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Leave them all to Brigadier Liang to take them away."
"Ah?" Fang Ligong was stunned when he heard the words, thinking that this is probably inappropriate, right?
The Jinsui Army and the Central Army are only a theoretical family. In the final analysis, they still belong to two camps. Is it really good to directly hand over the weapons and equipment of a regiment that has been replaced to the Central Army?
Fang Ligong didn't understand what Chu Yunfei meant, but Liang Gang did.
Obviously, Chu Yunfei couldn't give this regiment's weapons and equipment for free.
Chu Yunfei wanted him to offer to exchange those twelve mountain cannons.
According to Liang Gang's original intention, he must be unwilling. A regiment of national equipment wants to change to an American mountain artillery battalion. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
But Liang Gang also knew that firepower had to be concentrated to exert its power.
The twelve mountain cannons brought back to Tiandagang are just a mountain cannon battalion.
But if it was given to Chu Yunfei, then the only brigade of the Jinsui Army would have 28 mountain artillery, which is an artillery regiment, and its combat effectiveness would be much greater than that of two mountain artillery battalions.
But Liang Gang still declined politely and said, "Brother Yunfei, how can you be so embarrassing?"
"Hey, between you and my classmates, why are you being polite." Chu Yunfei smiled, "If you don't want it, then I can only think that you think I have given less and want me to add more."
"Since brother Yunfei has said something like this, then I can only be disrespectful."
