Ye Feng looked at his watch and it was six:30 in the morning, and Ye Feng got up.

When Ye Feng opened his room door, a young soldier outside the door was already waiting. When he saw Ye Feng, the young soldier immediately said enthusiastically: "Good morning, chief."

Zhang Zhengkun was very enthusiastic and thoughtfully thought about it. He sent orderly soldiers to serve early. The young soldier was the orderly soldier. After saying hello to Ye Feng, the orderly soldier sent hot water for Ye Feng to wash and prepare breakfast.

The breakfast was very light, two eggs, a bowl of millet porridge, and two steamed buns. Looking at these things, although it was simple, Ye Feng knew that the New Fourth Army would definitely regard him as a distinguished guest. The New Fourth Army's conditions were very difficult, and ordinary soldiers could eat such good things in the morning.

Perhaps because he received a report, Zhang Zhengkun, the commander of the New Fourth Army, came over enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Teacher Ye, I'm still used to everything."

"Yes, you guys are very thoughtful, please trouble you."

"Teacher Ye is so polite"

...

After the two of them greeted each other, Zhang Zhengkun said, "Teacher Ye, our Commander Chen has already set off and we will reach here in the morning."

"Ye Feng nodded, and then said, "Captain Zhang, this morning I heard your soldiers train loudly and their enthusiasm must be very high. Can you take me to visit?"

"Okay, let's go, there is a training ground for ours not far from here, and the first battalion is training there."

Zhang Zhengkun took Ye Feng, Zhao Long, Long Yi and others to walk towards the training ground. After walking for a few minutes, there was a training ground with an area similar to the football field not far away. Hundreds of New Fourth Army soldiers were training there vigorously.

The soldiers have good military posture and morale. The only disadvantage is that their military uniforms are not uniform. Some soldiers are not wearing military uniforms. They are wearing shabby clothes of ordinary people, just wearing leggings and holding weapons, and their expressions are completely like soldiers.

“One, two, three, four…”

"Standing attentively, resting, and walking in unison..."

“…”

Ye Feng stood on the edge of the training ground, listening to the training of the New Fourth Army soldiers, and watching the soldiers' neat movements, he couldn't help but nod. These New Fourth Army soldiers trained well, but their weapons and equipment were a little worse. If they had enough weapons and equipment, they would definitely be a team with strong combat power.

"Captain Zhang, your soldiers have good training."

Seeing Ye Feng say it's right, Zhang Zhengkun was also full of joy and immediately smiled proudly: "Teacher Ye. You don't know. Our soldiers have to train for several hours every day, and the queue training is quite good. The only thing is the lack of bullets, and the soldiers' live-fire training is basically not carried out."

Zhang Zhengkun is right. Due to the lack of bullets, only a limited number of bullets can be used on the battlefield. The battlefield is a live-fire training ground.

Ye Feng nodded, without the usual live-fire training. Fighting with the Japanese on the battlefield will definitely cost you a bloody price.

It was less than ten o'clock in the morning. A communications soldier ran over to report: "The regiment commander, Commander Chen and others have reached the entrance of Lijiazhuang Village."

"Teacher Ye, you go back to our regiment headquarters first. I will go down the mountain to greet our Commander Chen and his party." After listening to the warrior's report, Zhang Zhengkun turned to Ye Feng and said.

"Okay, let's wait in the regiment headquarters." Ye Feng also wanted to see Chen Yi, so he agreed to wait in the regiment headquarters immediately.

...

Ye Feng didn't wait long at the Lijia Temple Governor's headquarters. In more than twenty minutes, he heard the bustling outside the gate and a large number of footsteps came. Ye Feng knew that everyone should come.

Ye Feng stood up and took Zhao Long. Once Long walked towards the gate. Before he could reach the gate, Ye Feng saw a large group of people, at least twenty people, several of whom were still officers, and one of them was Chen Yi, the commander of the First Detachment of the New Fourth Army.

Ye Feng smiled and looked at it for a moment. Chen Yi looked nearly forty years last year. He was wearing a military uniform and a pistol around his waist. He looked very heroic and in good spirits.

Chen Yi also saw Ye Feng and looked at Ye Feng with warm and welcoming eyes, with a kind smile on his face. Before Zhang Zhengkun could introduce him, Commander Chen said first: "This is Commander Ye!"

"Hello, Commander Chen." Ye Feng stretched out his right hand, held Chen Yi's big hand tightly, and held two big hands together.

"Haha, Commander Ye, it's better to see it at first sight than to hear it." Commander Chen laughed heartily.

Sitting in the lobby of the regiment headquarters, the orderly soldiers quickly delivered hot tea, and the whole hall suddenly became crowded. Commander Chen and his party, Ye Feng, Zhao Long, Long Yi, Zhang Zhengkun, and several commanders of the Second Regiment of the New Fourth Army.

Fortunately, Ye Feng’s ten special forces members were not here and were arranged to be in the soldiers’ barracks. Otherwise, the hall would not be able to sit.

In the hall, the atmosphere was good, with a strong warm and festive atmosphere. As the master, Commander Chen first thanked Ye Feng: "Teacher Ye, thank you for your actions yesterday, otherwise our Second Regiment would have suffered a considerable loss, and it would be impossible to seize the equipment of a Japanese squadron."

"Commander Chen, you are so polite. Everyone is China's national defense force. It is appropriate to help each other and fight the Japanese devils in unison."

"Teacher Ye, I admire your awareness. If everyone is like this, unite to the outside world and fight against Japan together, how could the Japanese be so rampant?" Commander Chen praised.

The two had a very speculative chat. Not long after, they talked about the Independent Division, the Restoration of Hangzhou, and the two annihilated Japanese divisions.

"Team Commander Ye, your battle in Hangzhou has shown the majesty of our team." Commander Chen praised.

"Restoring Hangzhou, we annihilated two Japanese divisions, annihilated more than 30,000 enemies, killed two Japanese lieutenant generals, and seized more than 20,000 Type 38 rifles, more than 300 crooked machine guns, and more than 100 Type 92 heavy machine guns..."

Ye Feng talked freely, just like talking about family matters. The New Fourth Army people next to him shone with their eyes. They seized so many weapons and equipment, and the Independent Division was not completely developed. Everyone's eyes were full of envy.

"Teacher Ye, you have seized so many weapons and equipment and can develop at least tens of thousands of troops. I really envy you." Commander Chen said with emotion.

"Commander Chen, you don't know that our soldiers use all American equipment. We can't use these Japanese weapons and equipment for the time being. We have sealed them all. How to deal with a headache?"

All-American equipment! There is still a worry about dealing with so many equipment!

Everyone exclaimed in waves of exclamation. The independent master was too generous. Everyone's eyes when they looked at Ye Feng suddenly changed, full of enthusiasm, envy, and even a little excited.

Upon hearing this, Commander Chen Yi also felt aroused. At present, the most lack of New Fourth Army is weapons and equipment. Since the Independent Division has so many weapons and equipment that are rusty in the warehouse, can we buy some?

Although the funds of the New Fourth Army were extremely tight and there was almost no spare money, now it is a war era, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy weapons and equipment.

The New Fourth Army had secretly bought weapons and equipment from some **s, and some Kuomintang officers who had been vacant to serve, privately sold weapons and equipment. Some landlords and bandit armed forces were the main targets. The New Fourth Army also bought some weapons and equipment through this channel.

After thinking in his mind, Commander Chen began to inquire about Ye Feng's words. So Commander Chen smiled and joked: "Teacher Ye, I really envy you. The conditions for our New Fourth Army are much worse in all American equipment. Our number of people is now more than 20,000, but all the guns are only more than 10,000, and many soldiers do not have guns."

"Commander Chen, your conditions are indeed a little bit short. The gap in your weapons and equipment is still very large. How do you plan to solve this part of the weapon and equipment gap."

Commander Chen smiled and said, "It is possible to rely on the third war zone to replenish supplies. We can only rely on seizures. In addition, we bought some privately through some special channels, but our funds are tight, and the accumulated amount of guns we bought is less than a thousand."

"Commander Chen, both of China's national defense forces are all China's defense forces. We should support you. If you sell it to you, I can't bear it. You are too hard. Let's do this. I support a batch of weapons and equipment for you, so I can make friends with you."

"This is great, Commander Ye, I have made your friend."

"Okay! Our Independent Division and the New Fourth Army will be friends in the future."

Ye Feng and Commander Chen Yi's big hands were tightly held together again, and the people next to them were full of smiles and expressions of happiness.

"By the way, our troops will no longer be called the Independent Division in the future, but the 6th Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army." Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Congratulations!!!"

In later generations, the newly-appointed 6th Army appeared, and it was one of the ** ace troops. However, it was only 1938 that this number was awarded to Ye Feng by Chiang Kai-shek. This army appeared in advance and was no longer the army in history.

Looking at the congratulations from the commanders of the New Fourth Army around him, Ye Fengye said happily: "Thank you everyone, thank you everyone. The new 6th Army has not been announced yet, and our troops have not started using this number. I hope everyone will keep it confidential for the time being."

The atmosphere was very harmonious. Ye Feng promised to support a batch of weapons and ammunition in the New Fourth Army for free, and immediately narrowed the distance between everyone.

"Team Commander Ye, you support us a batch of weapons. We will talk about the details separately next. I will report this matter to our New Fourth Army headquarters now." Commander Chen said.

"Commander, use our regiment headquarters' radio station. Yesterday, Commander Ye gave us a new radio station." Zhang Zhengkun said happily.

With the radio station, it was much more convenient. Commander Chen Ye said happily: "Then I have to thank Commander Ye again. Today we will use this radio station to report this good news to the headquarters."
