Chapter 428 Yan Laoxi suddenly arrived at the front line, a heartfelt conversation (please subscribe)

Bang bang bang~!

“Sounds good?”

“Nice, really solid!”

A good helmet is a good one!
After the soldiers on the front line were equipped with new American helmets.

I was very excited for a moment.

Giving out helmets makes them more excited than giving out shoes.

Look, several soldiers gathered together.

Use stones to knock on it to test how strong the helmet is.

“It feels like it can really block the Japanese bullets!”

“With this thing, I will definitely rush to the front next time I charge.”

Hearing the noise, Lin Yi, the acting deputy battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the 13th Regiment, immediately walked over and asked, “How do you feel?”

“Deputy Battalion Commander!”

Several soldiers hurriedly stood at attention.

An old soldier bravely asked: “Deputy Battalion Commander, can this helmet block the Japanese bullets?”

Lin Yi answered truthfully: “No, but it can block stray bullets and fragments on the battlefield.”

“Yes, deputy battalion commander!”

Lin Yi smiled and nodded in response, then turned and left.

Just walked a short distance.

I could vaguely hear someone behind me saying, “How could he, a deputy battalion commander, know more than our battalion commander?”

“Let’s listen to the battalion commander. When we charge, put this helmet on our chest. The Japanese won’t be able to penetrate it!”

Lin Yi paused, then gave a wry smile and left the front line.

“Isn’t this for wearing on the head? Why are you putting it on your chest?”

“You are stupid. Where did the Japanese hit when they killed our brothers?”

“Makes sense, makes sense.”

Inside the first battalion command post.

Gao Zhiqian looked at the acting deputy battalion commander in front of him with a puzzled look.

He stepped forward, as if wanting to observe carefully whether Lin Yi had taken the wrong medicine.

Lin Yi looked at him awkwardly.

Gao Zhiqian was a little confused: “Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, if this bulletproof helmet is not bulletproof, why is it called a bulletproof helmet?”

“Yes, it is indeed called a bulletproof helmet, but it protects against stray bullets.”

Gao Zhiqian was even more confused: “Of course I know that he is defending against stray bullets and fragments. I learned this basic knowledge when I was in the Military Academy.”

“But Captain, you told the people below that this helmet is bulletproof.”

“What happened after they knew that helmets could stop bullets? Didn’t they become braver?”

Gao Zhiqian looked at Lin Yi as if he was a fool.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with deceiving the officers and soldiers under him.

As far as he knows.

Some local warlord troops.

They even tricked the suicide squad soldiers into drinking talisman water and asked a witch to perform a shaman ritual before the fight.

its purpose.

It is to give soldiers courage so that they will not be afraid of death when charging.

Lin Yi shook his head, obviously not agreeing with Gao Zhiqian’s point of view: “This kind of unreasonable courage is likely to have a counterproductive effect. I also heard that some soldiers intend to put their helmets on their chests to reduce the probability of their own casualties.”

Gao Zhiqian was stunned for a moment.

There are really talented people under him. He had never thought of this.

Under Lin Yi’s direct gaze, Gao Zhiqian hesitated for a moment, then immediately answered the phone call from the regiment headquarters: “Hello, commander, this is Gao Zhiqian, I have something to report to you.”

After listening to this, Bao Zhishan thought for a moment and said, “Captain of the First Battalion, I need to criticize you for this matter.

Our troops have fine traditions and pride of their own.

For soldiers, our spiritual mobilization must never allow any form of deception.

Although your original intention and ideas are good, your awareness is not enough.

But just as Major Lin Yi said just now.

If the opposite effect is achieved, it will inevitably cause unnecessary casualties.

It would also be very demoralizing.

Now, I order you to immediately correct the mistakes in your previous propaganda.”

“Yes, I will correct it immediately!”

Gao Zhiqian subconsciously straightened up, his face slightly ugly, and looked at Lin Yi who was standing beside him: “Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, what you said does make sense. Let’s go to the front line to correct this mistake!”

“Yes, battalion commander.”

Lin Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.

I am very glad that this time the correction was so smooth.

Bao Zhishan on the other end of the phone immediately chose to report the situation in order to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Zhang Dongkai was not idle after receiving the call.

He immediately turned around and informed Huang Baitao who was studying the sand table.

Huang Baitao thought about it for a moment, and then said, “This self-correction ability is very good. Once the two chief officers have disagreements, they can immediately report to their superiors and let them make decisions. This can greatly avoid conflicts between the two sides and save time.”

Zhang Dongkai seemed to understand Huang Baitao’s meaning in a trance: “Sir, do you mean to make this a classic case and inform the entire army?”

“Although it’s a small matter, it can also provide some inspiration for the relationship between the two chief officers of our army. So, Dong Kai, you can send a message to Commander Chu in my name and report according to what I just said. It’s possible that Gao Zhiqian and Lin Yi will be rewarded.”

“Yes!”

Just as Zhang Dongkai stood up to draft a telegram.

the other side.

Gao Zhiqian gathered the company commanders together and placed a brand new helmet not far away.

In Lin Yi’s hand, he was holding a captured Type 38 rifle.

At Gao Zhiqian’s suggestion.

Lin Yi raised the rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger at the helmet thirty meters away.

boom!
After a gunshot, the helmet was pierced instantly.

The company commanders looked at each other.

My goodness, this helmet doesn’t seem as useful as they thought.

“You can all see that this helmet cannot stop the Japanese’s rifle fire. As for what it is useful for, let me demonstrate it to you.”

As he spoke, he took the grenade handed to him by the communicator.

After the trigger was pulled, it was thrown not far from the helmet.

Boom!

There was an explosion.

Gao Zhiqian didn’t even pay attention to whether the fragments of the explosion hit the helmet. He just pointed to the dust in the distance and explained: “Wearing this helmet, there is a certain probability that the fragments produced by grenades, grenade launchers, and even artillery shells will be blocked. As for how much, I can only say that it is better than not wearing a helmet.”

Lin Yi also spoke up at the right time: “During the training at the Officer Training Corps, the instructor said that if you fight with a helmet, your survival rate will increase by one tenth or one twentieth.”

“Then put it on.”

“Although this thing is a bit heavy and makes my neck sore, it’s better than losing my life.”

“Yeah, I thought the American helmets could really stop bullets, but now it seems that they are not much different from the French and German ones.”

“Okay, be sure to pass it on when you get back. Remember not to take your life lightly. Did you hear that clearly?”

“Yes, battalion commander.”

the other side.

The General Headquarters of the Northern Shanxi Front.

Chu Yunfei and others were welcoming the arrival of Yan Laoxi.

For some unknown reason, the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone

Didn’t say hello.

Instead, he arrived at the Shanxi-North Front Headquarters along with the Cavalry Regiment.

When I heard the news.

Already arrived at the headquarters.

He quickly stepped forward to greet everyone: “Commander Yan.”

Yan Laoxi returned the military salute and glanced at the slightly embarrassed crowd: “You all worked hard.”

“Commander Yan, why are you at the front line?”

“Sit down and talk, sit down and talk.”

“Dayun, go get a glass of water, Pengcheng, go find a stool.”

Old Yan didn’t act pretentiously. He just sat on it and rubbed his waist. “I rode here for several days. This place is less than 15 kilometers away from the front line, right?”

“Yes.”

“It’s still too close. If the Japanese army makes progress, we won’t be able to leave.”

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong looked at each other, smiled, and explained: “Don’t worry, Commander Yan, the Japanese army will never be able to break through our defense line in a short time.”

Yan Laoxi did not shy away from the question and continued, “Do you know why I came here?”

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, “Maybe it’s because of the Soviets?”

“This is just one of the things. There is another thing I came here to remind you, Yun Fei. What you are doing now is too far away from the central government!”

As soon as these words came out.

The central government mentioned by Yan Laoxi.

Actually, I am talking about Chang Ruiyuan.

The officers gathered around were all shocked.

Where to start.

Fang Ligong couldn’t help but ask, “Commander Yan, what’s the deviation?”

Chu Yunfei turned around and signaled the officers around him to go about their own business.

Zhang Dayun and others turned and left, leaving only Yan Laoxi’s accompanying adjutant, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, and Zhao Pengcheng.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was still confused.

He didn’t understand.

What did I do to deviate from the central idea?

“Yun Fei, once you have power in your hands, it is very difficult to let it go. It is hard to defend against and avoid all kinds of attacks.”

Yan Laoxi said earnestly: “Your ability is outstanding. It can be said that in the entire national army, perhaps no one knows how to command a battle better than you.” “That’s why the chairman promised huge benefits. For example, for this battle, he directly rewarded the front-line combat troops with 300,000 French francs.”

Chu Yunfei was a little confused: “But this money is actually just a thing outside of my body to me.”

Yan Laoxi seemed to be hinting at something.

But Chu Yunfei didn’t understand what Yan Laoxi meant.

Could it be that this is teaching him?

To win over people with outstanding abilities, one must know the price to pay?
But he also understood this kind of thing.

He will not only meet their material needs, but also their spiritual needs.

Chu Yunfei has carefully studied this ability.

“That’s just because the money is not enough. If Mr. Jiang can provide 200 million French francs to the Second War Zone in one go, do you think it can solve all the current difficulties in the Second War Zone?”

Two hundred million French francs is about sixty-five million U.S. dollars.

If all of them were replaced with military supplies.

Not to mention recovering Datong, even recovering Tianzhen would be no problem at all.

Even the remaining enemies in northern Shanxi were enough to be wiped out.

The reason why no counterattack has been launched yet.

We are just waiting for the heavy artillery units to form combat effectiveness.

It’s not that they don’t have the ability to counterattack now.

On the contrary, combat supplies are piled up like mountains on the front line!

Chu Yunfei nodded, not quite understanding: “Given the economic situation of the National Government, I’m afraid it will be difficult to maintain the current strategic situation.”

Yan Laoxi nodded without hesitation: “You have made a good judgment on this point. The financial revenue of Shancheng is indeed not very rich, but there is one thing you must not forget. This year is a rare year of bumper harvest!
As the financial situation deteriorates, the legal currency will depreciate and money will become worthless, but you must know that as long as Chiang Kai-shek has food in his hands, it will be enough to stabilize the situation in the rear.

Because food can keep people alive, as long as the people have food to eat, there will be no chaos. “

After Yan Laoxi finished speaking, he changed the topic and said, “You should have heard about the incident involving Huang Wei, the commander of the 54th Army, right?”

Chu Yunfei nodded.

From his perspective.

Huang Wei is just an unlucky guy.

Someone once jokingly said that when Guan Linzheng was in power, all he did was fight the Japanese and scold Chen the Shorty.

This shorty Chen is Chen Cixiu.

The struggle between Chen and He.

Guan Linzheng would naturally choose to get closer to He Jingzhi.

But Yan Laoxi seemed to have other ideas: “Huang Wei is a man who doesn’t know how to adapt. He seems like a poor and corrupt scholar. He is not greedy or possessive. He doesn’t understand the principle of living in harmony with the world. That’s why Guan Linzheng made trouble for him.”

Chu Yunfei seemed to understand why Yan Laoxi came here this time.

Just after driving away Li Mo’an, less than two days later they started to offend other war zones.

Yan Laoxi was anxious.

Afraid that Chu Yunfei would make too many enemies.

Whether there is corruption or not, Yan Laoxi doesn’t care.

He just wanted to find a reason to alert Chu Yunfei.

He has a high moral character, is not greedy or possessive, and clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs.

It doesn’t mean that you can’t use other means to deal with him.

Not being lustful does not mean that you have no worries.

You have to know that Chu Yunfei already has a wife now.

Having obtained corresponding funding also means having weaknesses and soft spots.

not to mention.

If the mountain city really wants to deal with him.

There is no need to even consider such despicable means.

The simplest and most practical way is to delay the time of assistance.

That is to say, “make things difficult for someone.”

It was just like the way Guan Linzheng dealt with Huang Wei – blocking military supplies.

They just need to find all kinds of plausible reasons to slow down the supply of materials to the front line.

And it will lengthen the U.S. aid supply cycle.

The achievements are fleeting.

Not to mention the uncertain arrival time of transportation.

It was confirmed that the time would be delayed by one week.

The war situation will most likely deteriorate as a result, and the battle will naturally be out of control!

His opponent is no mediocre person, nor is he a simple character!
And those who have a grudge against Chu Yunfei.

There is not just one He Jingzhi.

The relationship between him and Chen Cixiu was also quite tense.

The same is true with Hu Zongnan.

This time, it was a tactful suggestion to Chang Ruiyuan to stop the winter offensive.

But what if this matter got to the ears of the commanders-in-chief of other war zones?

That sounds different.

Especially among them was Gu Zhutong, commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, who benefited the most from the strategic counter-offensive.

He is also not a character to be trifled with.

He is known as one of the three elders along with He Jingzhi and Chang Ruiyuan.

Once these people face Chu Yunfei, they will just work together and use their own methods.

Even if Chang Ruiyuan took sides.

He was also unable to suppress others.

This is not what Yan Laoxi is most worried about.

In Yan Laoxi’s opinion.

Victory and defeat are common in the military, and a short-term failure is nothing at all.

He was more worried about other issues.

The hitching post for Chu Yunfei’s fierce horse is the righteousness of family and country.

Chang Ruiyuan and others knew it clearly.

Yan Laoxi naturally knew this too.

Chu Yunfei is able to distinguish right from wrong.

And they have their own set of moral concepts and rhetoric about family and country.

How could Yan Laoxi not know this?
When Chu Yunfei was still the head of the group.

It is one of the three obediences and one major principle of its organization.

That is, they have gained some understanding of patriotic education.

And such people.

Most likely to be hurt by rumors.

After the Battle of Shouyang, the 358th Regiment retreated to Changzhi.

Chu Yunfei set up a newspaper in a very short time.

And he moved closer to the Song family and showed goodwill to the CC faction.

Yan Laoxi made a corresponding judgment and guessed that Chu Yunfei was on guard against the higher-ups.

It is growing very fast, but it is still impossible to achieve everything.

“Since the command knows that you have great ambitions, if they want to deal with you, after this war is over, they will let you shoulder the burden that you should not bear alone.”

“On the surface, this may seem like respect, but in reality, it is a hidden threat.”

“Human energy is limited, and the time in a day is also limited.”

“Your body, Yun Fei, I believe you should be clear about it.”

“If this continues, my body will definitely not be able to bear it.”

“Whether things are going well or not, it’s actually a drag on you.”

“If the matter is accomplished, it will be a good thing for Shancheng, benefiting the country, the people and themselves. If the matter is not accomplished, it will also be a “selfish” thing for them.”

“Yun Fei, I wonder if I have made this point clear?”

Old Yan narrated a fact in a very kind manner.

That is in Chu Yunfei’s eyes.

There is also this country, its nation, and its people.

But in the eyes of the military and political leaders in Shancheng.

Maybe, maybe not.

They are happy with Chu Yunfei and even support Chu Yunfei to do things that benefit the country and the people. The essence of this is that this thing is also “selfish”.

And in front of the two of them, Yan Laoxi completely tore off the fig leaf of Shancheng.

It was difficult for Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong to accept this for a while.

Yan Laoxi, the old fox, seemed to have fully anticipated Shancheng’s next move, and then he continued slowly: “Exceptional promotion is just the beginning, and it will never stop.”

“If the battle in northern Shanxi makes some progress, I will promote you again and make you responsible for organizing the army in the northern part of the Yangtze River.”

“At that time, you will not only have to face the Northwest Front of the Eighth War Zone, but also the Guangxi Clique and the Northwest Army of the Fifth War Zone.

There is also the Northwest Army in the Hebei-Chahar War Zone, the Northeast Army and militia in the Shandong-Suzhou War Zone, and even the newly formed Fourth Army! “

Chu Yunfei sighed silently: “Chairman…”

“Yun Fei, you are too young. You are so young that even the chairman can intuitively feel the threat. Jian Feng has no chance of suppressing you.”

It is said that when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked, and when the donkey has done its job, it is discarded.

But he hasn’t finished his work yet!
For a while, Chu Yunfei was skeptical.

Although Chang Ruiyuan has not shown it yet.

But after hearing what Yan Laoxi said, he would think in this direction!
Yan Laoxi said earnestly: “The battle in northern Shanxi can be delayed as long as possible. I will try my best to find a solution for Suiyuan.”

“Qingbo has already set off towards Suiyuan.”

“Let’s see if we can reach an agreement with Yisheng. If we can form an offensive and defensive alliance, we can first eliminate the Japanese troops in Suiyuan, and then come back to deal with the problems in northern Shanxi.”

This is the path that Yan Laoxi prepared for him.

Chu Yunfei thought carefully for a moment and nodded slightly: “Thank you, Commander Yan.”

Old West Yan patted Chu Yunfei on the shoulder, looked down at the cloth shoes on Chu Yunfei’s feet, and then reminded him: “I know that you are frugal, Yunfei, and share the hardships with the soldiers, but you can’t be too frugal, so as not to lose the military appearance and prestige.”
