Fang Ligong was very clear, and he did not turn back when he opened the bow. Since Chu Yunfei had already taken this step, he could only go to the dark side. In any case, he had to rectify the 89th Division in the shortest time, and then he would lead the northern part of Henan to incorporate the Chi Dianyuan 1st Brigade and the Zhao Xunqi 2nd Brigade. In this way, Chu Yunfei had the foundation to settle down.

...

Sen County, temporary 2 brigade brigade department.

"Come on, Brother Chi, please." Zhao Xunqi said in a supreme hand.

Chi Dianyuan was not polite, and sat down before the wine table.

Zhao Xunqi picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Chi Dianyuan, and asked with a smile: "Brother Chi, you are not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. This time I came to find my younger brother, but I want to persuade me to join the Japanese again?"

Chi Dianyuan took a sip of wine and said, "Brother Zhao, those who know the current affairs are heroes, right?"

"Yes, I agree completely." Zhao Xunqi nodded, "But in the current situation, it is probably not a wise move to join the Japanese? You know, the beautiful country has participated in the war."

"So what can it do?" Chi Dianyuan said sneered, "A small Guadal Island, the army of the beautiful country mobilized more than 500,000 troops. After nearly half a year of fighting, more than 200,000 casualties were still unable to be defeated. How many islands are there in the Pacific Ocean like Guadal Island? How many can the beautiful country defeat?"

"This..." Zhao Xunqi frowned, "Who did Brother Chi listen to?"

Chi Dianyuan was suffocated when he heard this, and Zhao Xunqi immediately asked, "Did the Japanese say that?"

"It was indeed what the Japanese said." Chi Dianyuan nodded and said, "But this is also a fact. The beautiful army did not fight smoothly on the South Pacific battlefield."

"But it's not as exaggerated as you said." Zhao Xunqi said, "If I finally feel that the current situation is chaotic and I can't see the future direction for a while, so I should try to be more secure."

"Why don't I want to be stable?" Chi Dianyuan said, "But Lao Chang doesn't allow it."

After a pause, Chi Dianyuan continued: "Chang Kaishen specially sent Chu Yunfei to take over the position of commander of the 89th Division and asked the 89th Division to station troops in Xingyang. Brother Xunqi wouldn't he understand the purpose, right?"

"Of course I understand this." Zhao Xunqi said with a dark face, "I just want to merge our two troops."

"So." Chi Dianyuan said, "Now you can still win over the Japanese, and you can still keep the position of the brigade commander. If you are lucky, you may be able to become a division commander. But if you don't seek refuge with the Japanese now and wait for Chu Yunfei to lead the troops across the Yellow River, you and my brothers will still be a big deal if you can keep the position of the brigade commander."

Zhao Xunqi frowned and said, "Brother Chi, it shouldn't be like this, right?"

"Not this?" Chi Dianyuan sneered, "Have you never heard of it?"

"What did you hear?" Zhao Xunqi frowned, "Brother Chi, please tell me if you have something to do."

Chi Dianyuan said, "Chu Yunfei first arrived, and he killed Shang Tianliang, the military chief of the 89th Division?"

"What? Shang Tianliang has been shot dead by Chu Yunfei?" Zhao Xunqi's face changed slightly, "What's the charge?"

"What crime?" Chi Dianyuan said disdainfully, "What other crime can it be? Reselling military rations and embezzling military pay. I am really fucking convinced. This can also become a crime? Who doesn't do this in the national army? Oh, let them be allowed to do it in the Central Army, let them be allowed to do it in the Whampoa officers, let us not be allowed to do it in the miscellaneous army?"

"Is this really the case?" Zhao Xunqi's face had become extremely embarrassing.

The reason is very simple. He and Chi Dianyuan also did a lot of reselling military rations and embezzling military pay.

The two of them not only embezzled military pay, reselled military rations, but also secretly reselled arms!

Chu Yunfei could not even tolerate the behavior of reselling military rations, and could he tolerate them reselling arms?

"Brother Xunqi, you still don't believe it?" Chi Dianyuan said angrily, "Are you not afraid to tell you that Chu Yunfei not only killed Shang Tianliang, but also withdrew Gou Yu'an and other regiment commanders and battalion commanders. Instead, he replaced his old subordinates and confidants who were transferred from Shanxi. Brother Xunqi, you said, Chu Yunfei can tolerate you and my brothers?"

"Damn it!" Zhao Xunqi said with a dark face, "Chu Yunfei can tolerate you and my brothers and there will be a ghost."

"So it." Chi Dianyuan picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Zhao Xunqi, and then said, "We have to find a backer as soon as Chu Yunfei arrived, otherwise everything would be over."

Zhao Xunqi said: "Is there no other way?"

"What else can I do?" Chi Dianyuan said, "Chu Yunfei won't let us go. If he doesn't surrender to the Japanese, would you still want to surrender to the Eighth Route Army?"

Zhao Xunqi's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, this idea is good."

"That's a big deal." Chi Dianyuan said, "Brother, don't forget that our brothers are Sun Dianying, Pang Bingxun's old subordinates. They fought to death with the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army two years ago. Do you think the Eighth Route Army can want us? What's more, you don't know the discipline of the Eighth Route Army. You can't smoke cigarettes, play money, and don't play with women. So what's the point of living this life? Just go back to your hometown to set up a stall to sell roasted sweet potatoes."

Zhao Xunqi still hesitated and said, "But I think the good days for the Japanese really cannot last long."

"Brother Xunqi, let's pass the hurdle first." Chi Dianyuan snorted and said, "Besides, if the Japanese really lose and surrender one day, will we just take off the skin on our body and join the national army again?"

Zhao Xunqi said: "But the question is that Chang Kaishen will take you and my brother in the future? I'm afraid it's not the only one."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xunqi said again: "Brother Chi, why don't we wait a little longer and let's go to the New Year first."

Seeing that Zhao Xunqi was really unable to speak, Chi Dianyuan had to give up and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after the New Year."

While the two were talking, Zhao Xunqi's adjutant suddenly came in and reported: "Building, the patrol team sent by our brigade to Yangmaozhuang was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army and three brothers were killed."

"Brother, look." Chi Dianyuan shook his head, "You still want to surrender to the Eighth Route Army."

"Damn it." Zhao Xunqi slapped the wine glass on the table and said in a deep voice, "This is the Eighth Route Army that broke the rules first. Since they dare to be the first day of the lunar calendar, don't blame us for being the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar!"

He paused and said, "Tell me my order."

"Send a company immediately to set up an ambush near Yangmaozhuang."

"When the Eighth Route Army patrol comes, I will fight to the death!"

"Brother Xunqi, don't be impulsive..." Chi Dianyuan subconsciously wanted to dissuade him, but he suddenly reacted halfway through his words and said with a smile, "Brother, you are not drinking."

Obviously, Zhao Xunqi wanted to create a tense atmosphere in northern Henan.

Once the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade and the Eighth Route Army confront each other, then whether it is Chang Kaishen or the Japanese, they will not force them to death. The reason is also very simple. If they approach them at this time, what if the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade are eaten by the 2nd Brigade, wouldn’t that help the Eighth Route Army?

For Chang Kaishen and the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army was their greatest enemy.

Therefore, in order not to let the Eighth Route Army reap the benefits, the Japanese and Chang Kaishen's tolerance for them would increase. In this way, Chongtian Desong would no longer be in a hurry to force them to surrender, and Chang Kaishen would not dare to let Chu Yun fly across the river to recruit them. Their two brigades could at least live a quiet life.

The only thing to worry about is the reaction of the Eighth Route Army.

However, with the current situation in northern Henan, they did not believe that the Eighth Route Army had the courage to mobilize heavy troops to kill them. After all, there were two divisions of the Northern Henan Security Army on the flanks.

Therefore, mixing water is a way.

...

Li Yunlong was free and went to Erlang Town.

Erlang Town belongs to the defense zone of the Third Regiment. The recruiting place located at the entrance of the town is crowded with people, and many middle-aged and young people are crowding in front of the recruiting place to join the army, and there are even women, children and elderly people.

Several staff members of the recruitment department were already busy.

"Girl, I don't recruit female soldiers now, but you can go to the town's wife to find a job."

"Uncle, you are too old to be a soldier, but I can introduce you to a job. The logistics department over there is recruiting a lot of workers, that is, digging a tunnel to repair fortifications, arranging accommodation, and can manage two meals a day."

"Little kid, how old are you this year? You are not as tall as a rifle and want to join the army? Go to the Children's Corps."

With the efforts of the staff, the long-standing hungry people gradually shortened until they were invisible.

All hungry people, both men, women, young and old, were properly placed. Young people joined the army, the elderly arranged for fortifications, women arranged for them to go to the quilt factory set up by the women's rescue association to take soles, and children also entered the children's troupe. In addition to training, they were also responsible for standing guard and keeping watch. All men, women, young and old in Erlang Town were mobilized.

It just so happened that Zhao Gang was also in Erlang Town.

Seeing Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"Old Li, why are you here?" Zhao Gang said.

"I'll just go around." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It's so happy to see the lively scene in Erlang Town. I feel like I'm back in northwest Shanxi."

"Yes." Zhao Gang also smiled, "The situation in Erlang Town has been completely opened up. The organizational structure of the base area is very fast. All villages have developed basic militias, and each township has also formed district teams. The next step is to form a county brigade, and the party committees of counties, townships and villages must also be established as soon as possible."

After a pause, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "What a great situation."

Li Yunlong nodded and asked again: "Old Zhao, can the food rations keep up?"

"It's OK." Zhao Gang said lightly, "Only half of the food seized from Qingliang Village is divided, and the remaining more than 5 million kilograms of grain can last at least one month."

On the day when Wang Taigong and Wang Ying and his son were tried, more than 300,000 hungry people came.

Each hungry person gave out twenty kilograms of grain, and gave out more than six million kilograms of grain.

After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "A month later, Anxian County should have been taken down, and the grain bought from southern Hebei should also be transported to northwest Henan. At that time, not only our northwest Henan base, but also the food crisis in the Taihang base and the Taiyue base can be resolved, and the entire Shanxi-Hebei-Hebei Military Region can successfully overcome this crisis."

"It's fine if there is no problem." Li Yunlong smiled and was about to say something again, he saw Wang Ye walking towards him.

"Xiao Wang?" Li Yunlong immediately came forward and asked with a smile, "Often you, you, won't come back until the third day of the night, why did you come back so early today?"

"Captain, there is something wrong." Wang Ye said hello to Zhao Gang again.

Zhao Gang nodded and signaled Wang Ye to tell the situation. Wang Ye said to Li Yunlong: "The Japanese reinforcements have come to An County, and there are a lot of troops. It is estimated that there must be an infantry regiment."

"Ah?" Li Yunlong said with a deep face, "A brigade?"

If this were the case when I was in northwest Shanxi before, a gang would be nothing.

But today is different from the past. Now their northwestern Henan detachment lacks both food and bombs, and the artillery firepower is only one Shanghai-style 82mm mortar that has just been seized. There are only a dozen shells, so there is no confidence to fight a tough battle with the Japanese. Not to mention an infantry corps or even a battalion can make them dirty.

"No." Zhao Gang also frowned and said, "Is it a leak?"

"It is impossible to leak the news." Wang Ye said, "but the old Japanese devil, Okamura, has always been cautious, and when the main force of the Northwest Henan Detachment broke through from the Taiyue Military Region, it still made some noise. So it is entirely possible that Okamura Nishi could guess that a partial division in our 386th Brigade came to Northwest Henan."

Li Yunlong said: "Okamura Nishi is really difficult to deal with."

"What should I do now?" Zhao Gang said, "There is this infantry corps of the Japanese and Wu Lantian's temporary 2nd Division stationed in An County. The traffic line between the southern Hebei Military Region and northwest Henan cannot be opened. At most, it can only be smuggled at night. It is easy to suffer losses, and the number will not be large."

As soon as Duan Peng finished speaking, he hurried over again.

"Captain, regiment commander and political commissar." Duan Peng gasped, "Chi Dianwen is so brave. He dared to ambush our patrol team. Two soldiers died and three soldiers were seriously injured."

"What?" Li Yunlong said furiously, "I didn't go to provoke him, but he actually came to the door. That's the one I didn't say, beat him up!"

"Old Li, you can't beat Chi Dianwen." Zhao Gang hurriedly dissuaded.
