Chapter 99 Brother Yunlong, I have long admired you
"Put the gun down!"
The people brought by Qian Bojun also raised their guns and aimed at Li Yunlong and others.
On the battlefield, the heavy machine guns that were originally aimed at the county seat of Linyuan County also turned their guns to aim at Qian Bojun and others.
Because Qian Bojun came in a hurry, the troops he brought only had light weapons and no heavy weapons.
At this moment, they were being pointed at by seven or eight heavy machine guns, and they were also frightened.
"Li Yunlong, I respect you and call you the commander.
If I don't respect you, who are you?
Whether it is the Independent Regiment or the New First Regiment, you are not part of the regular army at all. You are just a bunch of rabble!"
As Li Yunlong listened to Qian Bojun's words, his expression became increasingly worse.
Without waiting for Li Yunlong to give the order to confiscate the weapons of Qian Bojun and others, Ding Wei hurried forward.
"Qian Bojun, although the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment are not part of the Kuomintang's organization, Commander Li is a legitimate colonel.
What, you are not recognizing our identity?"
"In that case, I would like to ask the Second War Zone Headquarters whether the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army recognizes the military rank awarded by Shancheng!"
Qian Bojun listened to Ding Wei's words and suddenly remembered that because Li Yunlong defeated the Sakata Brigade last time, although Yamacheng did not publicize it too much, he still gave Li Yunlong the rank of colonel.
But Li Yunlong didn't take it seriously at all and immediately forgot about it.
Just because Li Yunlong doesn’t know doesn’t mean that others don’t know.
At this moment, Qian Bojun realized, after being reminded by Ding Wei, that Li Yunlong was indeed his superior in name.
Especially Ding Wei’s words, which scared Qian Bojun.
The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army did not recognize the military rank awarded by Shancheng, so he could not accept this hat.
If they do not recognize the military rank awarded by the Shancheng Central Government, does that mean that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wants independence or is preparing to surrender to the Nanjing National Government?
"I'm sorry, sir. I spoke without thinking. Please don't take it to heart."
"However, I have already reported to the commander that our army has captured the county seat of Linyuan County, and our commander is on the way."
Although Qian Bojun changed his attitude because of Li Yunlong's military rank, his tone was still not very friendly.
He knew that his military rank was not equal to Li Yunlong's, and it would be disadvantageous for him to continue arguing with Li Yunlong.
So he brought up Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei also has the rank of colonel, so there is no need to worry about Li Yunlong using his rank to bully others.
"Damn it, Zhang Dabiao, tell the puppet troops in the county to give them one minute. If they don't lay down their weapons and surrender, I will attack them violently!"
Li Yunlong glanced at Qian Bojun and remembered that the brigade commander had told him that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was now handing over the last batch of ammunition to the Eighth Route Army.
During this period of time, you must not confront the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, otherwise the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will seize your ammunition, which will cause trouble.
Otherwise, according to Li Yunlong's temper, he would have kidnapped all the people brought by Qian Bojun, and then asked Chu Yunfei to bring money to redeem them.
"Captain Li, Lin Dexu has surrendered to our Jinsui Army. He is now a prisoner of our 358th Regiment. You cannot attack the city!
Otherwise, I will report to Shang Fengding that the Eighth Route Army shot prisoners of war!"
"Do you f*cking think I dare not kill you?"
"Qian Bojun, you only brought two hundred people here, and I only have several thousand people here..."
"Lao Li, calm down, calm down!"
Zhao Gang, who had received the news, just rushed over and heard Li Yunlong's voice. He quickly grabbed Li Yunlong and interrupted what Li Yunlong wanted to say.
"Old Li, hold on, hold on, don't say the wrong thing!"
Lin Dexu felt something was wrong with the situation below, and seeing that the Eighth Route Army's artillery had begun to load shells, he quickly opened the city gate and ran to Qian Bojun with the remaining puppet troops.
"Captain Qian, I am Lin Dexu, the commander of the 512th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the Locust Army. I surrender to you now!"
Lin Dexu didn't say much and completed the surrender procedure in less than a minute.
Qian Bojun listened to what Lin Dexu said and looked at Li Yunlong proudly: "Captain Lin, take your people to protect Linyuan County and don't let irrelevant people enter Linyuan County!"
"Now that you have surrendered, you are our 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. If the Eighth Route Army dares to open fire, it will be an attack on friendly forces!"
"Get into the city!"
……
As time passed, most of the troops of the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment gathered in Linyuan County. Qian Bojun's legs were shaking as he watched himself being surrounded by thousands of Eighth Route Army soldiers.
He is now really worried that Li Yunlong will go all out and send troops to kill him.
At this time, Chu Yunfei also rode his horse to the outside of Linyuan County.
Qian Bojun saw his captain coming over and hurried forward: "Captain, I have taken over Linyuan County, what should I do now?"
Chu Yunfei listened to Qian Bojun's words and glanced at Qian Bojun: "Don't worry about it, leave the rest to me."
Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yunlong standing in front of him, walked forward with great dignity, and said to Li Yunlong: "I guess this is Captain Li Yunlong."
"I am Li Yunlong, who are you?"
"I am Chu Yunfei, the leader of the 358th Regiment."
"Captain Li, I admire you. It has only been three days since your army arrived, and you have recaptured Linyuan County."
"Captain Li fought magnificently in the battle of Cangyun Ridge. He broke through the encirclement head-on and killed the old devil Sakata who had just been promoted to major general."
Flattery never wears out, even Li Yunlong likes to hear good words.
Now Chu Yunfei has been praising Li Yunlong as soon as he appeared on the stage, and even Li Yunlong feels embarrassed to show his displeasure to Chu Yunfei.
"Captain Chu, your subordinates have the wrong idea and want to take advantage of others.
I led my troops to fight Linyuan County for a whole day, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. As a result, he came and wanted to take over Linyuan County. Do you think this makes sense?"
Chu Yunfei shook his head and said to Li Yunlong: "Captain Li, this is my subordinate's fault. I am here to apologize to you on his behalf."
"Since you think you are the ones who made the mistake, I, Li Yunlong, am not the kind of person who won't let you off even if you are right. How about this? You take your people and retreat back to Gujiabao. I will treat this as a misunderstanding."
"Besides, our Eighth Route Army has occupied Linyuan County. By then, your 358th Regiment will not be in contact with the Japanese's sphere of influence, and it will be safer, right?"
"Captain Li, do you think Chu is one of those people who are afraid of death?"
"Captain Li, I came here this time not only because my subordinates did something wrong, but also because I hope you can give the Zhaozhuang stronghold to my 358th Regiment."
"Although Chu is not very capable, he is not the kind of person who is afraid of death. My 358th Regiment is not afraid of the Japanese devils, and we do not need your army's protection."
"Of course, the Chuzhuang stronghold was captured by your army, so I will not take it for nothing. Captain Li can set the conditions."
"If Captain Li is willing to hand over Linyuan County to my 358th Regiment, that would be great."
"Old Li, Captain Chu, this is not the place to talk. Let's occupy Linyuan County first and prepare for the Japanese counterattack. Let's go to the county town to discuss this matter."
Ding Wei listened to Chu Yunfei's words and seemed to understand what Chu Yunfei wanted to do, so he spoke to the two of them.
……
Chu Yunfei naturally had no objection to Ding Wei's proposal, and directly ordered Qian Bojun to give up the control of Linyuan County to Li Yunlong.
Then several people entered the Japanese command center and started talking again.
"Captain Li, if you are willing to hand over Linyuan County to me, I promise that as long as the 358th Regiment is not destroyed, the Japanese will never be able to pass through my defense zone!"
“In addition, if Captain Li is willing to hand over Linyuan County to Chu, Chu is also willing to hand over Gujiabao to your army.
By then, my 358th Regiment will be surrounded by your army’s defense zone on three sides. Even if Chu wants to abandon the city and escape, he will have to pass through your army’s defense zone.”
"Besides, my 358th Regiment taking over Linyuan County can also help your army relieve some of the pressure from the Japanese invaders."
“If Captain Li is willing to hand over Linyuan County to Chu.
Then Chu can send troops to help Captain Li attack Dagu County or Shiquan County.
At that time, except for the spoils captured on the battlefield, everything else Chu will give to your army."
"In addition, Linyuan County will not let Captain Li give it to Chu for free. Chu is willing to take out the weapons and equipment of two thousand people in exchange, and I guarantee that it is the equipment used by my 358th Regiment."
"The supplies consumed by your army in attacking Linyuan County will be reimbursed by our 358th Regiment."
I have to say that the price offered by Chu Yunfei is indeed very tempting.
Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were also somewhat tempted.
"Captain Chu, wait a moment, let us discuss this."
