The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 467 Incorporating Bandits
Li Yunlong's arrival was within Chu Yunfei's expectation. After all, the two sides were so close and the commotion just now was so big, but Li Yunlong's arrival in such a timely manner was somewhat beyond his expectation.

"Could it be that there are spies from Eight Routes on my side." Chu Yunfei thought to himself.

"The devil has our intelligence agent over there. We sent back news that Qian Bojun was going to turn against us, but there was no evidence to fear that Brother Chu would not believe me, so I didn't inform you." Li Yunlong cupped his hands and said to Chu Yunfei. .

Chu Yunfei didn't believe this set of rhetoric, presumably the reason why Li Yunlong didn't tell him was because he wanted to see himself joked.

So Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Thanks to Brother Yunlong's generous action this time, I won't say thank you. Now I have another request. I don't know if Brother Yunlong can agree?"

"What's the matter, Brother Chu can just say it directly. As far as our relationship is concerned, I will definitely help if I can."

"Brother Yunlong, can you pick me up a fast horse? I want to go after Qian Bojun and clean up the house myself." Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, he has always been concerned about Qian Bojun's betrayal of himself to join the Japanese. Huai, after all, Qian Bojun has been with him for more than ten years, and he still has some feelings, otherwise it would be impossible to appoint him as the head of the regiment.

But this kid is too dishonest, he actually colluded with the little devil behind his back, and he didn't even know it, which made him a little unacceptable.

Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Li Yunlong was aware of Chu Yunfei's character, and organized the department himself, so he turned to Sun Desheng and said, "Go, bring a horse to Brigadier Chu."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he said to Chu Yunfei: "Brother Chu, do you want me to send some soldiers to follow you?"

"No, I can handle it myself." Chu Yunfei directly rejected Li Yunlong's offer, got on his horse and chased in the direction Qian Bojun left.

In his mind, it would be better to clean up the door by himself.

After watching Chu Yunfei leave, Li Yunlong quickly asked the soldiers to disarm the soldiers of Qian Bojun's regiment, and then returned directly to his station with a regiment's equipment.

The reason why he came to help Chu Yunfei was because he fell in love with the equipment of this regiment.Since the end of the last battle, the little devil has fully entered a passive defense situation, hiding in the city without even leaving the city gate.

It's not easy to snatch things from the devils. Usually, at most, they attack the devil's logistics force and seize some supplies. As for weapons and equipment, it has not been seized on a large scale for a long time.

The weapons and equipment of this regiment of more than 3000 people are equivalent to helping Li Yunlong in a timely manner.

It has been more than eight months since the merger of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. In the past six months, the troop strength has grown from the previous peak of more than 4 to more than 6000 to [-] million.

The defense area has also expanded from the previous three counties to seven complete counties, including some vast rural areas in North China.

Although the strength of the army has increased a lot, Li Yunlong is not satisfied. After all, as someone who has experienced it, he knows that the devils will surrender in less than a year.

Those who are quick can accept the devil's weapons, equipment and supplies on a large scale, while those who are slow can only watch others get rich and drool.

So during this period of time, Li Yunlong was doing his best to expand his troops, but because of insufficient weapons and equipment, most of the expanded troops were militiamen.

Now Li Yunlong can use a total of 6000 troops in twelve infantry regiments, and there are more than 2 militiamen.

Li Yunlong's goal is to expand the strength of the infantry to more than 10 before the little devil surrenders.

In this way, he can take the lead and collect more equipment and materials from the devils.After all, even if he is not as good as confiscating, it will be cheaper for the Central Army and the Jinsui Army.

When Li Yunlong returned to the station with the soldiers of the cavalry regiment, Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and Kong Jie had been waiting in the command room for a long time.

Seeing that Li Yunlong came back safely, he immediately greeted him.

"I said, Lao Li, how was the harvest this time?" Ding Wei asked Li Yunlong while squinting at the supplies brought back by the soldiers in large and small bags.

"Hey, there's a reason for our old Li to come back empty-handed. I've done Chu Yunfei such a big favor. Is it not too much to charge him with a regiment of weapons, equipment and supplies?" Li Yunlong said with a grin.

It was really worthwhile to help Chu Yunfei put down the rebellion this time. He gained a whole regiment of weapons and equipment, and he didn't suffer much loss.

After all, Qian Bojun wanted to seek refuge with the Japanese, but the soldiers in the trenches didn't think so. Those who were willing to follow Qian Bojun all the way to the black were his cronies.

However, Qian Bojun and his cronies were dealing with Chu Yunfei at the regiment headquarters before, so Li Yunlong did not encounter fierce resistance when he led the cavalry regiment over.

It can be said that Li Yunlong just took the soldiers of the cavalry regiment out for a training camp, and brought back a regiment's weapons and equipment without bloodshed.

Zhao Gang and the others at the side didn't know what to say when they heard Li Yunlong's words. They thought that this kid Li Yunlong was really black, not only black, but also dirty.

For such a small favor, he received the weapons and equipment of a regiment from him. You must know that although Chu Yunfei was promoted to brigade commander.

But there are only four regiments under his command, which is equivalent to losing a quarter of his family property.

And this ratio has not been chased, so I have to mention it. After all, Qian Bojun's regiment is the main force under Chu Yunfei. Although its strength is not the strongest, it will definitely have more troops than the other three regiments. .

It was cheaper for Li Yunlong now, and Chu Yunfei would definitely not do it, thinking that there would be some nonsense in the future.

"Old Li, it's inappropriate for you to take back all the weapons and equipment of his regiment?" Zhao Gang said with a frown.

Although it was their troops who took advantage of this matter, after all, it was in the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and he didn't want to create conflicts between the two sides because of this matter.

After all, he still doesn't know that the little devil will surrender in more than half a year. At that time, there is no need for them to split up as long as they conflict with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party.

But Li Yunlong couldn't tell him about it, and he couldn't explain what didn't happen.

So I could only say with a straight mouth: "Old Zhao, I don't think what you said is right. It is only natural to get paid for work. I have helped Chu Yunfei so much, so it is not right to charge him something."

"Old Li, Chu Yunfei didn't ask you to help. You seem to be buying and selling by force." Kong Jie, who was on the side, felt a little sorry when he heard Li Yunlong's words, so he said a few words of justice.

"Yes, Lao Li, I think it's better to give it back to Brigadier Chu. I don't think it's worth it to mess up the relationship between the two parties for such a small thing. And last time we launched a general attack on the 21st Division of the Devil's Kwantung Army At that time, head Chu helped us a lot, and this lover didn't let us pay it back." Hearing Kong Jie's words, Zhao Gang also tried to persuade him.

Although Li Yunlong did not agree with their words, both of them said that it would be inappropriate for him to object, so he thought for a while and found an excuse and said: "That's fine, return the weapons and equipment I agreed to to Chu Yunfei, But not now, let us use it for a few months anyway, just during this period of time when our troops are expanding and there is still a gap in some weapons, let us use this batch of equipment for a few months to train and train soldiers."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he looked at Ding Wei at the side, wanting Ding Wei to say a few words for him.

Originally, Ding Wei didn't want to get involved in this matter. Although he was tempted to see so many weapons and equipment, he was not as thick-skinned as Li Yunlong, so he couldn't say such thick-skinned words.

But seeing the way Li Yunlong looked at him now, and it was just borrowing and not taking over, Ding Wei said: "I think what Lao Li said is also true. Our army is indeed facing the dilemma of insufficient weapons and equipment. The weapon in Yunfei's hand is not unacceptable, after all, it's not that we don't want to return it to him, we just borrowed it for a period of time, at worst we pay him the interest."

Although Ding Wei didn't know what medicine Li Yunlong was selling in his heart, he instinctively stood by Li Yunlong's side.

In fact, Ding Wei and Li Yunlong are the same type of people in their hearts, they are the kind of people who only take advantage and don't suffer.Seeing so many good things, of course I am not willing to just return them.

Seeing that Ding Wei also agrees with Li Yunlong's approach, now that the battlefield has formed a two-to-two situation, no one can convince the opponent for a while.

Zhao Gang said with a bad face, "What if Chu Yunfei finds him?"

Li Yunlong didn't care about Zhao Gang's words at all, and replied with a smile: "What else can I do, find a way to delay it, it's just a few months, it's over after two evasions, and Chu Yunfei's family has a big career, maybe People don’t care about this equipment at all.”

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang was very angry, thinking that this is just a little equipment, if he doesn't care, then how powerful Chu Yunfei is.

But he knew that Li Yunlong was a mangy dog, and it didn't make sense at all, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak.Anyway, Chu Yunfei came and let Li Yunlong deal with it, so he didn't care.

After harvesting more than 3000 weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong's troops have entered into a tense expansion.

After Chu Yunfei hunted down Qian Bojun, he returned to the station and was busy reporting Qian Bojun's rebellion to his superiors.

Because of Qian Bojun's incident, he was also worried that other people in the army would also have Qian Bojun's thoughts, so after reporting to his superiors, he has been busy with other military commanders in the army.

After everything was dealt with, there was time to pay attention to the situation of the regiment. After discovering that all the weapons and equipment in the regiment had been confiscated by Li Yunlong, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

He still knows what Li Yunlong is like. He is a typical character of a rich man in the countryside.

As long as the stuff got into Li Yunlong's mouth, it would be difficult to get it back, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to ask for it. After all, this was not a small sum of weapons and equipment for a regiment. If it is not good, it will be downgraded.

So Chu Yunfei went down that day and came to Li Yunlong's headquarters with gifts, wanting to get back the weapons and equipment of that regiment from Li Yunlong.

In front of Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong agreed with a smile, and said that he would personally send back the weapons and equipment of this regiment to him in a few days.

It made Chu Yunfei somewhat doubt his own judgment, thinking that the old boy Li Yunlong had changed his temperament, otherwise how could he agree so happily, but he didn't think much about it, and went back happily drinking.

But after a series of operations by Li Yunlong, he realized that Li Yunlong was just playing with him and had no intention of returning the equipment at all.

He went to Li Yunlong's residence to look for it several times, but every time Li Yunlong found various reasons to shirk.

Anyway, it's just the same thing, it's not that Li Yunlong wants to occupy these equipments, it's that he can't decide, Chu Yunfei is so angry that he wants to beat Li Yunlong.

Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and Kong Jie next to Li Yunlong's operation bar were stunned, thinking that this person can be so shameless, it really opened his eyes.

But they didn't open their mouths to expose Li Yunlong. After all, this was a regiment's weaponry, and it was their own troops who took advantage, and Li Yunlong was the one who took the blame.Even if his reputation is affected by doing this kind of thing, it is also Li Yunlong's reputation.

After returning in vain several times, Chu Yunfei also understood in his heart that the equipment must not come back, and it would not be worthwhile to go to war with Li Yunlong for this equipment, and even if he did, he would not be able to take advantage of it.

After all, their brigade had just experienced Qian Bojun's rebellion and lost a regiment's weapons and equipment, so its strength had been affected to some extent.

As for Li Yunlong's troops, he also had some awareness, knowing that he was no match for Li Yunlong now, so Chu Yunfei had no choice but to endure it.

For the lack of equipment in the army, I had to find various reasons and report to the superior to supplement. After all, this kind of thing is very normal in the Central Army and the Jinsui Army.

Some troops even secretly sold the weapons and equipment in their own troops, and then found reasons to ask their superiors for additional equipment.

Although Chu Yunfei hadn't done this kind of thing before, it wasn't like he didn't know anything about it.

So in the next four months or so, the pretense in Chu Yunfei's army was gradually supplemented and perfected.Before Li Yunlong embezzled the equipment of one of his regiments, Chu Yunfei didn't bother him anymore.

And Li Yunlong has not been idle during this time. Not only did he send troops to continue to expand the area of ​​​​the base area in North China, but the seven counties that have already been occupied are also undergoing large-scale infrastructure construction.

While constructing, the bandits and bandits in the occupied area were attacked. After more than four months of attack, there is no living space for bandits and bandits in the occupied area.

Those bandits and bandits before were either captured or killed by Li Yunlong's troops. Even Heifengzhai, the largest bandit mountain in the occupied area, was beaten down by Li Yulong's men.

Unless the heinous bandits were shot by Li Yunfei, the old, weak, sick and disabled were released by Li Yunlong, and the rest were collected by Li Yunlong.
