In the Chongqing government, Chairman Jiang learned about the news that the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army had captured five Japanese counties overnight.

"Send telegrams to the Second War Zone Command, strictly ordering the troops not to take any combat operations."

"The Eighth Route Army can capture five Japanese counties overnight. It seems that their development is very fast and should be able to withstand the Japanese attacks. I hope the Eighth Route Army can make some big noise in Shanxi to reduce the pressure on the front battlefield."

"Send a telegram to Yan'an. The Chongqing government is very happy about the Eighth Route Army's successful recovery of five county towns. This is a great victory in the War of Resistance, which means that we will change from passive defense to active attack. Encourage all units of the Eighth Route Army to actively attack the Japanese occupied the county town. The Chongqing government will arrange relevant personnel to recover the county town."

"Strive to restore the daily order of life in the county as soon as possible, and provide convenience for the active attack of the Eighth Route Army units!"

“…”

Soon, the order from the Chongqing government arrived at the Second War Zone Command. The troops of the Jinsui Army, who had wanted to make some moves, suddenly became silent, as if they had not seen any changes in the situation in Shanxi.

Chu Yunfei's unit of the Shanxi Sui Army and the 358th Regiment. Chu Yunfei looked at the high-hanging military map with a flash of light in his eyes.

Chu Yunfei was a little happy to learn that the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army captured five Japanese counties overnight. As a Chinese, he was very happy to see that the county occupied by Japanese were recovered. And in Chu Yunfei's view, with the actions of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, other troops of the Eighth Route Army would inevitably take action.

The Eighth Route Army is a whole, and the combat operations of the 120th Division will inevitably attract the attention of the Shanxi devils. Whether it is to reduce the pressure the 120th Division needs to bear or to achieve more achievements, other units of the Eighth Route Army need to make some movement.

"Let the staff!"

"Order Qian Bojun to advance ten kilometers to the direction of the Japanese county closest to us with the first battalion and the machine gun company. At the same time, our artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment moved forward for a distance, so as to ensure that once a battle with the Japanese occurs, the artillery battalion can arrive at the first time!"

"At the same time, tell the friendly troops around us about the movements of our 358th Regiment. I, Chu Yunfei, do not care whether they have any movements or not, I am going to go up anyway." After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yunfei issued an order to advance.

During this period, there was no big noise in the area where the 358th Regiment was located, and there were few opportunities to fight with the Japanese. There was no way, the Japanese knew about the approximate area where the 358th Regiment was located, and when advancing, they would choose to bypass the area where the 358th Regiment was located.

The Japanese were not stupid either. They had fought with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment before, and not only did they not take any advantage, but they suffered a lot of casualties. After the battle with the 358th Regiment, the Japanese around them knew that the 358th Regiment was not easy to mess with. Unless they received the command from the headquarters, they would rather take a detour than choose to mess with the 358th Regiment.

The 358th Regiment had no good way for these Japanese devils who chose to detour. They could not have too many combat operations before receiving the order from the Second War Zone Command, otherwise the Second War Zone Command would not bypass them easily, even if Chu Yunfei was highly valued.

"We have not received the order from the Second War Zone Command yet, and it is probably not a good choice to move forward rashly."

"In addition, as usual, in this case, the command's order is likely to allow our 358th Regiment to stay at the garrison and not to take any combat operations easily. Moreover, this time, the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to provoke the Japanese and seize the county town in the hands of the Japanese, and successfully angered the Japanese, and would inevitably get crazy revenge from the Japanese troops."

"The Japanese were very afraid of our 358th Regiment. This time we will rashly intervene in this matter, which is likely to attract attack from the Japanese troops."

"This is not worth the loss. The Eighth Route Army is the Eighth Route Army, and our Jinsui Army is the Jinsui Army. Both of them will not violate the rivers. If it was caused by our Jinsui Army this time, then our 358th Regiment has nothing to do, but this was caused by the Eighth Route Army, and we are not suitable to be involved." Staff Fang raised his glasses and said with a serious expression.

Chu Yunfei frowned, and he knew that his order would be obstructed by Staff Fang. This situation had happened before. Even if Chu Yunfei was the leader of the 358th Regiment, there was no good idea.

"Staff Officer Fang, I just ordered the troops to advance a certain distance towards the Japanese county, not to fight against Japanese."

"Besides, as a soldier, you need to seize all opportunities to win. Once the Japanese draw the troops from the county town, with the strength of our 358th Regiment, you may not be unable to take down the Japanese county town."

"Sir Yan valued me very much and gave us too much support to the 358th Regiment. We need to make certain achievements to let Commander Yan and other troops of the Jinsui Army know that my 358th Regiment deserves so many weapons and equipment! There is no waste at all!" Chu Yunfei said firmly.

Staff Fang looked at Chu Yunfei, and a little helplessness flashed in his eyes. He knew that these were just Chu Yunfei's excuses. Staff Fang stayed in the 358th Regiment for so long, how could he not have enough understanding of Chu Yunfei? Among the Jinsui Army, Chu Yunfei is relatively young, and other Jinsui Army troops may have some opinions.

But Staff Fang was sure that there were not many opinions and did not dare to show them in front of Chu Yunfei. Although Chu Yunfei was younger than others, Chu Yunfei's ability and battles he experienced were incomparable to other commanders of the Jinsui Army.

"Room, I still hope that you can report to the Second War Zone Command before the operation, and after obtaining the permission of Chief Yan, you will attack the relevant operations." Staff Fang was silent for a moment and said so.

Chu Yunfei shook his head, "There is no need to report such a small thing to the headquarters. As the leader of the 358th Regiment, I can still do such things."

"It's not too late to report to the Second War Zone Command when we really want to fight against the Japanese. With the Japanese's troops, it is impossible to pose a great threat to our 358th Regiment."

Before Staff Fang could say something, Chu Yunfei turned his head and turned his eyes on the map again, obviously not going to continue listening to Staff Fang's opinions. Seeing this, Staff Fang could only sigh in his heart. When Chu Yunfei first arrived at the 358th Regiment, he could still have some restrictions on Chu Yunfei.

But as Chu Yunfei's control over the 358th Regiment increased, the opinions of Staff Fang were less important, which made Staff Fang very helpless, but there was no good way. Who made Chu Yunfei's background so deep?

After all, as a staff officer, he would not be favored by Chief Yan and Chairman Jiang like Chu Yunfei.
