Chu Yunfei's people came to the door the next day.

The one who came was Fang Ligong, the chief of staff of the 358th Regiment.

A team of mules and horses with more than 50 riders came with them.

It is naturally impossible for Li Yunlong to meet Fang Ligong, and Zhao Gang happened to be away, so the mission to receive Fang Ligong fell on Wang Yantou, after all, it was No. 3 of the Independent Group.

Fang Ligong said: "Chief Staff Wang, is Commander Li not here?"

"What a coincidence." Wang Yan smiled, "Our regiment commander went to the New First Gate to find his old comrades."

"It's okay. Although Captain Li is not here, it's the same for you." Fang Ligong said, "After all, Captain Li and our team have made an agreement."

"As long as our 358th regiment comes to your door, your regiment will return the weapons of the 1st battalion as a whole."

"Now, I would like to ask Chief Wang to hand over the weapons of the 1st Battalion to Fang, which is very grateful."

Wang Yan showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said in a low voice: "Chief Staff Fang, this matter is probably not easy to deal with."

"It's not easy to deal with?" Fang Ligong immediately frowned and said, "Chief Staff Wang, hasn't the regiment Li told you about his agreement with our regiment?"

"Of course I know this." Wang Yan said quickly, "I was at the scene at that time, and I heard it with my own ears."

"Then Fang doesn't understand." Fang Ligong said coldly, "Since Chief of Staff Wang was at the scene at that time, and he had heard of the agreement between the two commanders with his own ears, what's the point of making things difficult for him?"

"This is not what I am embarrassed about." Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Our Eighth Route Army is disciplined and has extremely strict control over weapons and ammunition. I don't know how your Jinsui Army stipulates it. Anyway, if our Eighth Route Army does not have the approval of the military chief, no bullet is allowed to be out of the warehouse!"

"So, if I hand over the weapon to you, it would be a violation of discipline."

"What is the nature of violating military discipline? You should know the staff officer."

"It's light to dismiss the job and investigate, and maybe you'll have to be beheaded."

Fang Ligong frowned and said, "Chief Staff Wang, is the agreement between the two commanders not effective?"

"Chief Staff Fang, this really doesn't work." Wang Yan said with a embarrassed look on his face, "You must get written approval."

Fang Ligong immediately realized that the Independent Group had no intention of paying it back, they were deliberately trying to cheat.

Fang Ligong stood up and said, "Since that's the case, Fang said goodbye, but please ask Chief Wang to tell Captain Li that Fang will come again another day, and hope that Captain Li will prepare the approval documents in advance by then."

"It must be." Wang Yan said, "This time we were negligent. I'm sorry, I'm really embarrassed."

"Chief Staff Wang, see you next day." Fang Ligong stood at attention, raised his hand to salute, and then turned around and went out to go out.

Wang Yan was sent to the regiment department entrance and said "relatively": "Chief Fang should be careful on the way, be careful not to be attacked by bandits."

Hearing this "kindness" reminder, Fang Ligong almost fell from the horse.

Damn, is this cursing me? How can a few bandits do to Fang?

"Leave?" Li Yunlong's voice sounded behind Wang Yan, and it turned out that he hadn't even gone to Xinyi Group.

"Let's go." Wang Yan nodded, "Chu Yunfei has never been a stingy person. Although there are a large number of weapons and equipment in a battalion, he is definitely not unable to take it out."

"That's all." Li Yunlong said, "I'll help him clean up the portal. He can't give me some compensation? The landlord's family has to pay for long-term workers."

Wang Yan did not take this and said again: "But now Chu Yunfei has sent someone to ask for equipment so quickly, so he should be anxious."

"Can he not be anxious?" Li Yunlong said, "The Japanese were really moved this time. The Pingtian Brigade in Heyuan County also has the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, which has a total of 7,000 people."

"I suspect that more Japanese will come to join the war later."

"It's very likely." Wang Yan nodded, "A brigade and a puppet army and a mixed brigade should not be a problem to defeat the 358th Regiment head-on, but it is impossible to severely damage or even wipe out the 358th Regiment."

"What Sadae Inoue should not just want to defeat the 358th Regiment."

"So it is very likely to mobilize more Japanese troops to join the war in the future."

Zhao Gang came over from somewhere and persuaded: "Old Li, why don't you return the equipment to Chu Yunfei? The 358th Regiment was originally at a disadvantage when facing a brigade of the Japanese and a brigade of the puppet army and a brigade, but now it lacks equipment from the main battalion. The gap between the strength of the two sides is even more disparate. After all, it is a friendly army, so the appearance cannot be too ugly."

"Old Zhao, why are you turning your elbow out again?" Li Yunlong was immediately displeased, "Do you really think Chu Yunfei would lack the equipment of this battalion? The 358th Regiment is the ace of the Jinsui Army. Chief Yan will supplement the weapons and equipment as much as the loss. Chu Yunfei only needs a report on the weapons and equipment of this battalion, and the chief officer can immediately make up for it."

"Our Eighth Route Army is different. What kind of supplements do we have to go to Shanxi since we entered?"

"Yan Laoxi would rather give the equipment to the Japanese than give it to our Eighth Route Army."

"So, Chu Yunfei just made up for the debt that he had promised our Eighth Route Army to have previously made up for Yan Laoxi."

Zhao Gang said: "But the problem now is that the situation of the 358th Regiment is not optimistic and equipment is urgently needed."

"Old Zhao, don't worry about Chu Yunfei." Li Yunlong said angrily, "If Chu Yunfei can't even solve this difficulty, then the 358th Regiment is not worthy of gaining a foothold in northwest Shanxi."

Wang Yan said: "Captain, what do you think Chu Yunfei will deal with it next?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I guess he should take the initiative."

"Take an initiative?" Zhao Gang said, "What does it mean? The 358th Regiment is at a disadvantage, so he still needs to take the initiative?"

"Active attack is Chu Yunfei's only way to turn the situation around." Wang Yan said, "Otherwise the 358th Regiment would have been passively beaten, and maybe he would be driven out of northwest Shanxi by the Japanese army."

Zhao Gang frowned and said, "How else can the 358th Regiment take the initiative?"

Li Yunlong said: "It's very simple. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and to take the head of the Japanese puppet army in Heyuan County, the 358th Regiment will be avoided."

"Drive down the head of the Japanese puppet army in Heyuan County?" Zhao Gang said thoughtfully, "Before, the inside line sent news, Hirata Ichiro, the captain of the Heyuan County Military Police Brigade, celebrated his birthday the day after tomorrow. He will hold a banquet at Juxian Tower to invite all the Japanese officers above the second lieutenant and company commander or above the puppet army officers in the city. Chu Yunfei would not..."

Li Yunlong said: "If it were me, I would definitely do this."

"Chu Yunfei will definitely do this," Wang Yan said, "and he will also invite the group leader to have this banquet."

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Even if Chu Yunfei doesn't invite me, I have to help with this birthday party at Hirata Ichiro."
