Chang Kaishen is really a person who can make trouble. After hearing that Wu Siren sent Hu Boyu's Second Regiment of the Tax Police Corps to support Zhang Xuchen, he immediately found Dai Chunfeng and said to him alone: ​​"Yunan, you will go to the 33rd Army in person to recruit Hu Boyu and tell him that as long as he leads troops back to the central government, I will immediately promote him to a second-level general, and in the future, he will rely on his second tax police regiment to expand into a group army."

This is Chang Kaishen's usual idea. A high-ranking official and a generous salary plan. I really don't know that the ability of the people he poached this way is a big problem.

The reason why Chang Kaishen started to poach Hu Boyu was because he had learned that Wu Siren knew that the Military Control Commission had leaked his trip to Shencheng. Chang Kaishen used his own judgment and believed that Wu Siren had already begun to break up with him, and was afraid that Wu Siren would rebel in the future, so he issued a task to Dai Chunfeng.

In fact, although Dai Chunfeng was very loyal to Chang Kaishen, he was also messed up in the matter against Wu Siren. Now the Luoyi training class has moved back to the mountain city because it cannot get Wu Siren's material support, which has had a great impact on his upcoming "Death Plan".

After the Battle of Jiangcheng, the Japanese Army's renovation plan was revised again, from the initial version of 40 divisions in wartime to 55 divisions in early 1938, and by the end of 1938, the goal was to complete the preparation of 65 divisions in wartime and 164 squadrons in the Army's aviation team before 1942. In order to produce and reserve sufficient equipment and ammunition, the funds required for the renovation plan have been increasing steadily. The military expansion budget in 1939 alone required 1.8 billion yen, and Japan's finances have reached the critical point.

In fact, Japan also actively wanted to escape from China, but its terms of peace talks exceeded the bottom line of the government. On the one hand, the chance of a breakthrough was not high; on the other hand, although Japan tried to support the vassal government in North China and Central China to "control China with China" to help the Japanese army weaken the influence of the Shancheng National Government, due to the fact that the results were not very good, even in 1939, the Wang Zhaoming regime was established.

The 11th Army's results in 1939 were not satisfactory, and the Japanese army was not fully distributed overall. Even the divisions of the 11th Army were responsible for occupation. To launch an offensive, they had to draw a large amount of defense. Without troops to defend, the offensive would not be able to continue. In other words, if the Chinese defenders were to be weakened with a large offensive, the Japanese would have to significantly increase their troops, otherwise they could only attack local (and not in-depth) offensives. This is also why Li Delin wanted to lead the snake out of the hole to eat the main force of the 11th Army.

Lieutenant General Okamura, the commander of the 11th Army of Japan, also realized this. In his report in December 1939, he determined that diplomatic or minor offensives were impossible to be useful, and a large-scale offensive must be greatly increased. However, at this time, the Japanese Army was busy saving money to expand its troops and could not increase its troops at all. In fact, since the Battle of Jiangcheng, the "garrisonization" of the Japanese Army was to save money to support the plan for the establishment of the army, and it was in the ground of the Japanese Army in China.

The team had a peak of about 850,000 people since the Battle of Jiangcheng, and by now it had decreased by about 50,000 people. The standing division or A-level reserve division (fourth registrar) had a full capacity of about 22,000 people, the newly transferred garrison division (third registrar) was only about 15,000, while an independent mixed brigade had only about 6,000 people. Although Okamura's idea was correct, it was impossible for the superiors to accept it, and he was considering further layoffs to 400,000 in the Japanese army in China.

However, in December 1939, the winter offensive launched by the Huaxia side and the counterattack against the Kunlun Pass in Yongcheng gave a great blow to the Japanese army. These offensives made the senior Japanese army find that the battle in 1939 did not hurt Huaxia at all, so they finally reluctantly agreed that the Japanese army in China should not be excessively reduced, and agreed to reinforce the two standing divisions to launch a large-scale offensive against China in 1940. The ultimate goal of the military force in China was to reduce to 740,000 by the end of 1940. In the spring of 1940, the 11th Army of the Movie began to prepare for a large-scale offensive against the Fifth War Zone. This plan was fully supported by the Japanese base camp and the "Huaxia Expeditionary Force".

Hu Boyu led the arrival of more than 10,000 people from two mountain divisions of the Second Regiment, which not only gave Zhang Xuchen a great surprise, but also gave Li Delin, the commander-in-chief of the battle, great confidence.

The 10,000 people brought by Hu Boyu were the only two mountain masters in Yuzhou who had just completed systematic training. This time, some of them came here to test the actual combat effectiveness.

All ten thousand officers and soldiers were wearing camouflage uniforms, each with an American M1 Garland rifle imitated by Gongxian Arsenal. Because of the fierce firepower, these well-trained officers and soldiers of the Tax Police Corps were able to fight against the Japanese army with one against five. In addition, the ten thousand army was equipped with more than 200 radio stations and nearly a thousand mortars of various types, and almost every squad had one light machine gun.

Of course, this also brought huge pressure and hidden dangers to the logistics, so Wu Siren specially asked Ma San to accompany him to protect the logistics and commanders such as Hu Boyu.

As soon as he arrived at the base of the 33rd Army of Zhang Xuchen in Yiling, Dai Chunfeng came to the door.

"Di Director Dai is here, I wonder if there is any advice?" Hu Boyu sneered after seeing Dai Chunfeng.

Now the commanders at the top and bottom of the tax police regiment have known that the Military Control Commission deliberately leaked Wu Siren's itinerary, which has made these people who were influenced by Feng Manna's personality cult in the entire Wu family's armed system very dissatisfied. That is, Wu Siren issued a death order in consideration of the overall situation and was not allowed to engage in internal conflicts, otherwise the Wu family's internal security personnel would definitely retaliate against Dai Chunfeng and the relevant leakers.

After Hu Boyu returned from a European inspection with Qiu Yu'an, he was greatly shocked by the German army's combat methods, the application of various weapons and the quality of officers and soldiers, which made him even more admire Wu Siren, because German general Manstein had told them more than once that many of the tactical ideas of the German army came from Wu Siren's suggestions, and within the Tax Police Corps, Wu Siren's idea of ​​building an army has always been very similar to the German army, so he hated things that dared to endanger Wu Siren's safety, just like other people who worship Wu Siren.

"Brother Bo Yu can block the left and right? I have something to discuss with you?" Dai Chunfeng whispered.

"You can't tell me anything. These are brothers who have lived and died with me. If you have something, you don't have to cover up." Hu Boyu said cheerfully.

Dai Chunfeng had no choice but to hand over Chang Kaishen’s handwritten letter to Hu Boyu. After Hu Boyu opened it, he quickly browsed it. The content of the letter was very simple. He first explained the friendship between teachers and students in Huangpu, and then explained the meaning of solicitation and various promises.

After reading the letter, Hu Boyu instantly understood Dai Chunfeng's purpose. He put the letter back into the envelope and said to Dai Chunfeng: "Thank you, the principal, still remembers me, a vulgar student. Unfortunately, I am a student, to live up to the principal's love. Commander Wu is not only my boss, but also my Bole and teacher. I can only rely on Commander Wu to cultivate today. If a soldier dies for his confidant, I will follow Commander Wu in my life and will not do anything to betray Commander Wu."

Considering that the Tax Police Corps is still under the command of the National Government, Hu Boyu did not turn against him on the spot, but his face has begun to become very ugly.

Dai Chunfeng is also a person who can observe his words and expressions. He was afraid that the relationship between the two sides would be completely stalemate, so he could only exchange a few greetings and then say goodbye and leave without further persuasion.
