Chu Yunfei went into the town for inspection, intending to reorganize the first battalion, only to find that all the weapons and equipment of the first battalion were missing. He couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Where are your weapons and equipment?"

The captain officer from before said: "Back to the regimental seat, all our weapons and equipment were... seized by Battalion Commander Wang of the Eighth Route Army."

Hearing this, Chu Yunfei's eyebrows immediately knitted together. Isn't this Zhuzhu brother too boastful?

But after thinking about it carefully, Chu Yunfei felt relieved again: "Forget it, brother Zhuzi doesn't have any bad intentions. He just never engages in loss-making business. It was he who helped us put down the rebellion and saved my life. This company's

The weapons and equipment should be treated as wages paid to him."

The 358 regiment family has a great cause, and it is Yan Laoxi's direct line of troops, with no shortage of three to two hundred guns.

The captain added: "Not just one company, but also the weapons and equipment of the artillery company, including the 10 or so mortars and artillery shells, were all seized by Battalion Commander Wang."

"What?"

Chu Yunfei was stunned, as if his heart had been stabbed hard by something sharp, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Brother Zhuzhu is unequivocal in fighting the Japanese. These mortars should be regarded as sponsorship."

The Independence Battalion is fighting the Japanese."

"After all, the Eighth Route Army is also China's national defense force. Strengthening the Eighth Route Army is equivalent to strengthening our own national defense force."

…

About half an hour later.

Each company of the first battalion came to Lijia Town one after another to gather and report.

"Reporting to the regiment, the weapons and equipment of the Second Company were seized by the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Reporting to the regiment, the weapons and equipment of the third company were seized by the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"

…

"Reporting to the regiment, the weapons and equipment of the Fourth Company were seized by the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army!"

…

Hearing this, even though Chu Yunfei's concentration and recuperation were far beyond ordinary people, he couldn't help but change his color with anger at this moment, and cursed loudly: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable, this Wang Chengzhu has gone too far!"

If it were just a company, or even an ordinary battalion's equipment, Chu Yunfei wouldn't be so angry.

But the first battalion is not an ordinary battalion, but a super reinforced battalion with 2,000 troops.

There are so many weapons and equipment, more than enough to arm a regiment.

Now, with such a big hole appearing in the 358th Regiment, even Chu Yunfei feels that it is very difficult.

On the other side, as Qian Bojun's rebellion failed, the Japanese and puppet troops in Heyuan immediately withdrew.

The 358th Regiment, which lost one battalion, was unable to encircle and annihilate them, so they could only let them leave.

After Chief of Staff Fang Ligong learned about the betrayal of the First Battalion, he immediately led the Second Battalion and hurried towards Lijia Town.

When he learned that Wang Chengzhu led his troops to the rescue, saved the life of regiment leader Chu Yunfei, and helped him put down the rebellion, Fang Ligong's favorable impression of Wang Chengzhu immediately improved a lot.

But when he learned that all the weapons and equipment of the first battalion had been seized by Wang Chengzhu, he suddenly became so angry that he started to curse.

"Damn it! This Wang Chengzhu is so abominable! I think his rescue is fake, but taking advantage of the situation is real!"

"Captain, what should we do now? Should we immediately send troops to recover the weapons and equipment of the first battalion!"

Although Chu Yunfei was also angry, he still maintained his rationality and dissuaded him: "Brother Ligong, no!"

"The Eighth Route Army is our friendly force after all. If we send troops to it, we might be charged with undermining the unified resistance war."

Fang Ligong said: "It was Wang Chengzhu who first seized the equipment of our 358th Regiment. If he is to be blamed for undermining the unified resistance war, it should be Wang Chengzhu who takes the blame!"

Chu Yunfei: "Having said that, in the end, it is the little devil who takes advantage."

Fang Ligong: "Then let's report it to Chief Yan and let him make the decision for us."

Chu Yunfei: "No! Strictly speaking, the first battalion has betrayed us and is our enemy; therefore, the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army is not robbing the equipment of our 358th Regiment, but the trophies captured from the enemy.

Moreover, if Wang Chengzhu had not come to the rescue in time this time, not only would I have died at the hands of Qian Bojun, but also the more than 2,000 officers and soldiers of our first battalion, as well as weapons and equipment, would have fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

Speaking of which, we still owe Brother Zhuzi a big favor."

"Furthermore, the first battalion defected to the enemy, and I, Chu Yunfei, can only be blamed for my incompetence in running the army. If we report this matter and file a lawsuit, we will not only lose my face, Chu Yunfei, but also make people suffer."

Commander Yan is also being laughed at!"

Fang Ligong: "This won't work, that won't work either, so what shall we do? Shouldn't we just let the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army take away the weapons and equipment of the first battalion for nothing?"

"Although we still have a lot of inventory in our munitions warehouse, we can't fill a hole as big as a battalion!"

Chu Yunfei frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "Brother Ligong, I will handle this matter myself."

"All right."

Fang Ligong had no choice but to nod in agreement.

…

The other side.

Wang Chengzhu led the victorious division and returned to the Wangjiacun base area with a full load and a smile on his face.

At this time, a sentry on duty stepped forward and reported: "Battal Commander, you are back. The regiment commander is here. He has been waiting for you at the battalion headquarters for a long time."

"What? Li Bapi is here?"

Hearing this, Wang Chengzhu's eyes widened and the smile on his face froze.

He knew that Li Yunlong's visit to the Independent Battalion Headquarters was no accident. Most likely, he came for the equipment from the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment.

After all, Li Yunlong has always been a man of great powers, and his ability to engage in intelligence is even better.

If he was willing to investigate, it would not be difficult to discover the recent movements of the Independence Camp.

Also, in the TV series "Bright Sword", it was Li Yunlong who noticed through intelligence that Qian Bojun was going to defect to the enemy and set his sights on him.

It was also Li Yunlong who led his troops to rescue the situation in Lijia Town and seized the equipment of that battalion.

Until 2022, it has not been returned to Chu Yunfei.

Speaking of which, it was Wang Chengzhu who intercepted Li Yunlong.

When he learned that Li Yunlong had come to the Independence Camp, Wang Chengzhu's first thought was to run away, but then he thought, he could run away, but the monk could not run away from the temple.

Besides, what if Commander Li didn't come here for this batch of weapons and equipment?

Although this possibility is very small, you should always think on the bright side in everything.

Therefore, Wang Chengzhu handed over the task of placing the trophies to Deputy Battalion Commander Xu Hailang and returned directly to the battalion headquarters.

In the reception room of the Independent Battalion Headquarters, Li Yunlong was sitting on a Taishi chair, drinking tea leisurely.

"Huzi, this independent battalion is really rich. Wang Chengzhu is really a bigot. As the leader, we can't even drink tea, but he is quite good at enjoying it."

"Well, this tea tastes pretty good, you should try it too."

Huzi smiled naively and said: "Captain, how can I taste tea?"

At this moment, there was suddenly a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Li Yunlong looked back anxiously and found that the visitor was Wang Chengzhu, whom he had been waiting for for a long time. He couldn't help but slightly grinned his lips, revealing a fox-like smile: "Zhuzi, I congratulate you on getting rich!"
