Chapter 128 I can't afford it, the plan has changed

After more than a hundred, thank you for the third update, the first update shall be the first update, and the six-hour update shall be updated. In addition, if the essence is exhausted, it will be added next week.

************************************************************************

When Dingyuan was occupied by the Japanese invaders, all the male members of Fang Shaozhou's family followed the army to fight. Before the female family escaped, they were plundered by the Japanese invaders. In order to protect their integrity and avoid being attacked, their sister-in-law Tang and daughter-in-law Wang committed suicide by jumping into the water with their five-year-old great-granddaughter.

This heroic deed was reported in major newspapers across the country at that time. The National Government gave his sister-in-law a plaque with the four-character "Kun Wei Zhengqi" and his daughter-in-law a plaque with the four-character "Yi Lie Liu Xiang" to praise him.

He is old, and his deeds are heroic. Yang Tianfeng is not afraid of Fang Shaozhou, but admires and respects him.

"Old Fang." Yang Tianfeng bowed and greeted him with a smile.

Fang Shaozhou did not rely on his seniority, but returned the gift politely, "Sir Yang, I want to discuss something with you, don't know if you have any free time?"

The defeat of Sucheng and the annihilation of the Japanese, including the captain of the Jinzi Regiment, made the Third Column famous all of a sudden. In the subsequent request for help, Liao Lei was quite interested and ordered his guerrilla troops to harass and restrain the Japanese army, including the Fengding Anti-Japanese Rangers.

It was then that Fang Shaozhou had a new understanding of Yang Tianfeng. When the Third Column used Suxian villages as a base to implement the strategy of "arching" to the south and connected with the Dabie Mountain guerrilla areas in eastern Anhui and central Anhui, it not only implemented a marketing strategy of giving first and then buying to the anti-Japanese armed forces, but also sent them invitations to participate in the special training class.

Seeing the power of the new weapons and the third column's record, Fang Shaozhou was quite moved and brought his youngest son and several backbones of the Fengding guerrillas to learn from the scriptures. Of course, the more important thing is to get the continuous supply of new weapons to enhance the combat power of the Fengding guerrillas.

Fang Shaozhou was not in the special training class for a long time, but he was deeply touched. While courses such as "Minutes of Infantry Training", "Boya Tactics Essence", "Street Fighting Essence" allowed him to learn new things, he also realized the shortcomings of previous combat. If he had known this before, if he could have fought this way, his hometown children would have died fewer people and shed less blood.

The backbone of the Fengding Rangers who were studying in the technical military squad also conveyed Yang Tianfeng's behavior of selling weapons to Fang Shaozhou. This naturally made the family ruined the trouble. Fang Shaozhou, a loyal and brave family, felt dissatisfied. He felt it was necessary to talk to Yang Tianfeng and strive to make Yang Tianfeng change this behavior of making money from the country.

"Old Fang, it's not that I don't give it to you, but that I can't afford it!" Although Fang Shaozhou's words were a little tactful, Yang Tianfeng understood it, smiled bitterly and spread his hands, explaining: "Even my troops, the Third Column, cannot be fully equipped, and can supply other anti-Japanese armed forces in small quantities. Besides, the money or materials purchased or exchanged are used for the expansion and reproduction of the arsenal, and it is not put into my personal pocket."

"Can that be cheaper or on credit?" Fang Shaozhou had thought before that it was a bit difficult to give Yang Tianfeng away for free. It also costs money to produce weapons and equipment. It is already very generous to be able to supply all anti-Japanese armed forces in an equal manner, and it is important to put the great cause of the War of Resistance.

"That depends on the production scale of the arsenal." Yang Tianfeng said in contemplation: "The more money you pay, the faster the arsenal develops and the larger the output, the cheaper it will naturally be. As for credit, it depends on the specific situation and the achievements of each armed forces."

Although he did not completely refuse, the conditions were set, so Fang Shaozhou couldn't say anything else.

"How is Mr. Fang learning?" Yang Tianfeng turned to Fang Shaozhou's youngest son, older than him, but he dared to treat the other party as a junior. The student looked at him, "Study hard, take over Mr. Fang's class, don't let Mr. Fang come to the battle in person."

"I'm studying hard-" Young Master Fang paused for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It would be better if Chief Yang could support some officers. They followed Chief Yang to fight and kill the east and west, and had rich experience. This experience was not something they could learn in books."

"As long as your department welcomes you, I will naturally be willing to help you." Yang Tianfeng nodded with a smile, as if he suddenly remembered something. Fang Shaozhou asked: "Old Fang, are you familiar with Yu Yanong? What kind of person is he?"

Yu Yanong? Fang Shaozhou was stunned for a moment, looked at Yang Tianfeng thoughtfully, and said slowly: "If you want to talk about anti-Japanese war, Yu Yanong is still very active and enthusiastic. However, his military talent is limited, and his history is not important in Anhui Province."

Speaking of Yu Yanong, many people are very unfamiliar with him, but when it comes to his former elder brother, Wang Yaqiao, he is a famous figure in history. The Axe Gang in film and television dramas, the Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group in History Books, the bloody storm in Shanghai, and after 18th, killing the Japanese, eliminating traitors, assassinating Jiang and Wang, and doing more great things.

Zheng Baozhen, the four great kings under Wang Yaqiao, are responsible for contacting, operations and weapons storage; Yu Likui is responsible for military affairs; Yu Yanong is responsible for politics; Hua Kezhi is responsible for anti-traitors. It can be seen that what Fang Shaozhou said is true, and Yu Yanong's specialty is indeed not in military affairs.

In September 1938, the Japanese army in Bo County retreated to Shangqiu, and a few puppet troops were retained in the city. Yu Yanong, commander-in-chief of the Fifth Route of the Anti-Japanese People's Self-Defense Army of Anhui Province, led three brigades to join the Third Detachment stationed in Bo to recover the county town.

Hao County is south of Shangqiu and north of Woyang. It is not only a place where the enemy of Shangqiu wants to re-occupy, but also a gateway to Woyang. Yang Tianfeng is not allowed to pay any attention to it.

What's more, he also fell in love with the northern Anhui armed forces, which are known as the Fifth Route of the People's Self-Defense Army, and whether they can be accepted in a relatively complete manner depends on Yu Yanong's situation and how he can help in a crisis.

"According to information, the Japanese army may launch a large-scale attack on Haoxian in late April." Yang Tianfeng smiled and explained: "Whether it is related to the same anti-Japanese team or the security of the Suzhou special area, it seems to be understandable to send troops to support it. It is just that it belongs to different war zones and obeys different commanders. If Yu Yanong asks for help from the Third Column, we naturally cannot sit idly by. But if-"

"Waring the Japanese and helping friendly troops, what are the war zones and systems?" Fang Shaozhou was very open-minded and said, "Does it take a decision to rescue if there is any action in the Henan-Hubei-Anhui border area before deciding whether to rescue? Wouldn't that be lost and watch friendly troops be defeated by the Japanese? If someone criticizes it later, my provincial government senator (at that time, Fang was also a provincial government senator and a member of the provincial relief committee) will naturally defend you."

"Then thank you, Mr. Fang." Yang Tianfeng bowed and smiled: "Other teams are not easy to pay for credit, but Fengding Rangers are exceptions. However, in terms of quantity, it may not be satisfied with everyone within a period of time."

"This is enough to feel warm." Fang Shaozhou nodded and said, "Captain Yang is busy with military affairs, so he will not delay your business."

"Then Yang said goodbye." Yang Tianfeng bowed and turned away.

Fang Shaozhou looked at Yang Tianfeng's back as he was gone, sighed softly, and said, "He is interested in Yu Yanong's fifth civil self-defense army. If he can really send troops to help and repel the Japanese attack on Haoxian, with Yu Yanong's temper who will repay his kindness and the strength of the Third Column, there should be no big problem in the merger."

"You dare to seize troops from Liao Lei, you have a lot of ambitions!" Mr. Zhou said thoughtfully: "And you give it first and then sell it. These weapons are indeed sharp. Other anti-Japanese armed forces will probably be inseparable from the Third Column in the future."

"Then do you think Liao Lei of the 21st Army and Sun Tongxuan of the Third Army can be separated from Yang Tianfeng?" Fang Shaozhou smiled and said, "In order to thank Liao Lei for his urgent help, Yang Tianfeng sent some new weapons, but the number is not large, and Liao Lei's direct troops are far from enough. If Yang Tianfeng had not taken the initiative to send them off, these guerrillas would not be able to see them. As long as he is sincere in fighting against Japan, what does it matter if he is a big ambition? If Yu Yanong really surrendered to the Third Column, that would be his blessing. Otherwise, Liao Lei might be a little tolerant, but Li Pinxian would not be ruthless to him."

…………………

The wind blew the leaves rustling, and the sky was drizzling, and the dark night sky covered the head, and there was a vague light of the moon or the stars in the haze.

Chief of Staff Liang Moqing personally led a detachment of Jiang Jicai and some artillery soldiers to advance westward from the western foot of Mangdang Mountain through the north side of Han Daokou, and rushed straight to Taipingji. At night, he met with a small team of special operations brigades in the village of Xiayi and began to prepare for the surround and attack the aid.

It’s just that the plan is a plan, and it cannot keep up with the change. The situation of Taipingji has changed, making it a bit unrealistic to attack the aid of the surrounding point.

In May 1938, Xiayi County fell. Li Yuanfu, the landlord of Taipingji, usually oppressed the people. He recruited soldiers on the grounds of anti-Japanese war and organized hundreds of armed forces. Later, he was appointed as the pseudo-district leader of Taiping District by the Japanese advisor stationed in Xiayi County, and the captain was his clan's younger brother Li Guangfu.

Just when a detachment was rushing to Taipingji, Li Yuanfu took more than 200 puppet troops to the county town, and immediately divided half of the Taipingji enemy forces. The puppet troops of less than 300 were two Japanese consultants. Although Taipingji was managed by Li Yuanfu, it was not built with steel and cement. The so-called "professed to be strong" is only for ordinary anti-Japanese armed forces.

"Try to fight?" Jiang Jicai scratched his head at first, "I haven't beaten, I can't master it well."

"The boss's appetite is not just this Taipingji, but to severely damage the enemy in Xiayi County." Song Qingpu thought for a while, looked at Liang Moqing, and smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, is there any other way besides surrounding the points and attacking the aid? Can we not do this difficult one?"

Liang Moqing has been thinking about it. He also felt that fighting like this was a joke, but it was indeed difficult to implement Yang Tianfeng's combat intentions. What if it was another way, could we learn from the war examples of Sipu Town?

"In this way, we are ready to attack Taipingji and attack in one fell swoop." Liang Moqing had settled his mind and said, "Then repair the fortifications and wait for the enemy to attack. Or ambush the enemy on the road, or consume the enemy first in Taipingji, and then surround and annihilate it."

"It's not a problem to fight like this." Jiang Jicai nodded repeatedly, deeply agreeing.

Song Qingpu stretched out his thumb and said, "Chief of Staff, Gao Ming, let's also come to him for annihilation of the enemy like Sipu Town."

"Then prepare immediately. I'll send a telegram to Chief Yang and ask for instructions." Liang Moqing was relatively calm and made preparations with both hands.
