Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"I wonder how many people Mu Jin will bring this time. I really want to see them." Fang Ligong sighed.

The last time I cooperated with Mu Jin, he only brought thousands of people. I don’t know how many people he will bring this time.

"I don't think there will be too many, and most of them are new recruits. The other party agreed to cooperate for the purpose of training their troops." Chu Yunfei expressed his guess!

The 358th Regiment was training troops for this purpose. Mu Jin's previous attack on the Japanese was also for training purposes. Although Mu Jin later attacked the airport, the new recruits still did not have enough combat experience.

This time we come to cooperate with them to attack the county town, and we will definitely bring most of the new recruits with us to continue training.

"That makes sense. However, if most of the people coming are new recruits, won't it be dangerous to attack the county? We won't be able to capture the county by then, will we?" Fang Ligong nodded in agreement, but frowned, a little worried.

If the people who came were veterans, he would not be worried. After all, they had all seen the fighting power of those veterans, but they had not seen the fighting power of the new recruits.

"That's not the case. The airport that Mu Jin attacked was much harder to attack than the floating city. Since they were able to capture the airport, the combat effectiveness of the new recruits should not be too bad. So, there is no need to worry about this.
Besides, we will only give them the ocean if they take down the floating city. I don’t believe they will give up the ocean just for training.” Chu Yunfei said slowly.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a small sum of money. Mu Jin can't miss this opportunity to make money!
"That's right." Fang Ligong nodded, then he realized that he was overthinking.

The car quickly drove out of the city and met Xu Qingfeng and his friends halfway, where the two sides met.

"Captain Chu, long time no see." Xu Qingfeng walked up to Chu Yunfei with a smile on his face and greeted him.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, where is your battalion commander? Why can't I see him? Is he playing hide-and-seek with me?" Chu Yunfei stepped forward and glanced at the people behind Xu Qingfeng.

These soldiers were basically very young and most of them were unfamiliar. It seemed that he had guessed correctly that many of the people who came were new recruits. But what puzzled him was that Mu Jin was not among the crowd!
"Our battalion commander has something to do and can't come. Besides, it's just a small floating city, so it's not necessary for our battalion commander to come and command in person. It's enough for me to come." Xu Qingfeng explained without changing his expression.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu is right. You even took down the Japanese airport. That bone is much harder to chew than the floating city. But you didn't take us with you when you attacked the airport. It really disheartened me." Chu Yunfei sighed after saying this.

"Captain Chu is joking. It's not that we don't want to bring them, but we already have enough people, and the New 1st Regiment made an appointment with us in advance.
If I bring you along, it won't be appropriate. There's a saying that guests shouldn't bring along guests, and our battalion commander doesn't want to break the rules, don't you think?" Xu Qingfeng responded calmly.

Chu Yunfei simply felt a little uncomfortable that they did not call upon the 358th Regiment to attack the airport.

"It's right not to bring guests." Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement. The matter was over. Besides, there was no need for the other party to explain so much to him.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, why don't we get in the car and talk?!" Chu Yunfei made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng agreed, turned around and told Liu Changshun, "Let the soldiers follow."

"Yes!" Liu Changshun responded.

After Xu Qingfeng and the others got in the car, it started, and Liu Changshun and the others trotted to follow.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, you guys are developing very fast. Eighty percent of the soldiers you brought this time are new recruits, right?! You should be very confident in taking down Fucheng?" Chu Yunfei tried to get the news in a roundabout way.

"Captain Chu's vision is indeed sharp. Most of the soldiers who came here are new recruits. However, even though they are new recruits, it is still as easy as taking something out of a bag to attack a small floating city.

Besides, we have you guys to help us. We can take down the airport by cooperating with the New 1st Regiment.

It's impossible that we can't even take down a small floating city by cooperating with the 358th Regiment. "Xu Qingfeng also laughed. He knew what Chu Yunfei wanted to ask, but since the other party didn't ask it directly, he was too lazy to say it.

"That's not the case. With you here, together with the 358th Regiment, I am very confident that we can capture the floating city." Chu Yunfei replied. The other party was saying that the strength of the New First Regiment was not weak, so he naturally could not be weaker than the reputation of the 358th Regiment.

"That's it. With our strong alliance, it's just a small floating city, which is no problem at all." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. How many people have you developed?!" Chu Yunfei couldn't help but asked directly.

"Captain Chu, do you really want to know?!" Xu Qingfeng's face became expressionless as he spoke, his eyes fixed on Chu Yunfei.

"It's okay if Deputy Battalion Commander Xu doesn't want to say it. Haha, I just asked. Don't take it too seriously." Seeing this, Chu Yunfei laughed awkwardly twice.

"It's nothing actually. If Captain Chu wants to know, I'll tell you." Xu Qingfeng suddenly smiled.

After hearing this, Chu Yunfei was also quietly waiting for Xu Qingfeng's next words.

"It's less than 10,000 people." Xu Qingfeng slowly said a number, which made Chu Yunfei silent for a moment. Less than 10,000 people, this range is very large.

"Forget it, forget it. I shouldn't have asked this question. It's my fault." Chu Yunfei quickly admitted his mistake and did not continue on this topic.

"Captain Chu, how many people are there in the 358th Regiment now?!" Xu Qingfeng asked back.

"You didn't even tell us how many people you are. Why should we tell you?" At this time, Qian Bojun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but interrupt.

This Xu Qingfeng was just fooling around with them from beginning to end and had no intention of telling them the truth. It was really despicable.

"Captain Chu, if we talk like this, our cooperation will come to an end. You must understand that I asked you how many people there are so that it would be easier to make plans and better capture the floating city!" Xu Qingfeng's face darkened. He would not give Qian Bojun any face. The main reason for coming here was to train the troops.

But if the other party does not give face, he can also terminate the cooperation. Besides, Chu Yunfei will never terminate the cooperation.

"Qian Bojun, you have no right to speak here! Apologize!" Chu Yunfei frowned and scolded when he heard it.

"Commander, I..." Qian Bojun opened his mouth to say something.

"Stop talking nonsense and apologize quickly!" Chu Yunfei had a gloomy face. The most important thing for them to cooperate with each other was to build a good relationship, not to conflict with each other.

"Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, I'm sorry. I spoke too rashly." Qian Bojun could only apologize to Xu Qingfeng reluctantly.

"It's okay, this matter is over. Captain Chu, can you tell me how many people are there in your 358th Regiment?" Xu Qingfeng also gave Chu Yunfei a way out. If he offended someone, hundreds of thousands of dollars would be gone once the cooperation ended. "The 358th Regiment now has more than 4,000 to nearly 5,000 people, 30% of whom are veterans, and the rest are all new recruits." Chu Yunfei directly told him the situation.

"Last time we worked together, I remember you had only about 3,000 people. After the cooperation ended, there were about 2,000 people left. Now not only have you recovered, but you also have a lot more people. Not bad," Xu Qingfeng praised.

In just half a year, the other side has grown to nearly 5,000 people, which is indeed quite impressive. Their number is only slightly less than that of the New 1st Regiment.

Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, the New 1st Regiment is undoubtedly stronger. Whether it is firepower or individual soldier combat effectiveness, the New 1st Regiment surpasses the 358th Regiment.

After all, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment all have combat experience, while most of the soldiers in the 358th Regiment are new recruits. The two cannot be compared.

"That's because of you. Otherwise, there might not be even two thousand left." Chu Yunfei said with a smile. If Mu Jin's soldiers were more powerful, the 358th Regiment would probably have sacrificed more people.

"We are all part of a force fighting the Japanese, so it's only right for us to help. This time I'm training, and you're training too, so we just happened to catch up." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"That's right." Chu Yunfei nodded and changed the subject, "Deputy Battalion Commander Xu, if I'm not mistaken, Battalion Commander Mu must have something else and couldn't come. What was he doing?! Did he take people to fight the Japanese again?!"

He thought that Mu Jin's failure to come was definitely not because he felt that there was no need to come in person to attack a floating city. They had spent more than 100,000 oceans. If Mu Jin had nothing to do, he would definitely come in person. Since he didn't come, it must be because he had other more important things to do.

"Captain Chu is quite smart. The battalion commander does have something to do. As for what our battalion commander is busy with, I won't tell you. It's confidential." Xu Qingfeng replied indifferently. Sure enough, Chu Yunfei was quite smart.

"Then forget it." After hearing this, Chu Yunfei knew better than to ask any further questions. It was good enough that the other party could admit it.

"Captain Xu, I want to ask, how many people are there in the New 1st Regiment now?!" Fang Ligong asked at this time. Although he did not ask exactly how many people there were in Xu Qingfeng's group, it would be fine if he could find out how many people there were in the New 1st Regiment.

"This, I can't tell you. If you want to know, you should go and ask in person." Xu Qingfeng shook his head. Are you kidding? How could he possibly tell others about the situation of the New 1st Regiment?

"Captain Xu, the New 1st Regiment is not your people. There is no need to keep it a secret for them, right?!" Fang Ligong was unwilling to give up.

"It has nothing to do with whether we are one of our own or not. We are partners with the New 1st Group, so there is a foundation of trust.
Not leaking information about partners to others is the most basic thing, just like when we cooperate with you, I will not leak the information to outsiders. "Xu Qingfeng said seriously, and his few words choked Fang Ligong so much that he could not speak.

"Brother Ligong, Captain Xu is right. Don't ask for this information casually. It's a bit rude." Chu Yunfei also said.

"I'm sorry, Captain Xu. I actually have no ill intentions. I just want to know how powerful the New 1st Regiment is now and when we can catch up with them." Fang Ligong also admitted his mistake tactfully and said that he had no other intentions.

"It's okay. I understand. You saw it during our last cooperation. The New 1st Regiment is indeed better than you. It's normal to want to make a comparison." Xu Qingfeng also continued what Fang Ligong said.

"By the way, I've been promoted to deputy regiment commander. Our battalion commander is now the regiment commander." Xu Qingfeng changed the subject. The other party would know it later anyway, so he might as well say it now.

"Uh, why are you suddenly thinking about promotion?" Fang Ligong was stunned.

"Is there any problem?! The number of people we have developed has reached the regiment level, so isn't it natural for him to be promoted to the regiment leader?" Xu Qingfeng wondered.

"Of course there is no problem with that. Not to mention regimental commanders, it would not be surprising for you to be promoted to division commanders. Congratulations to you." Chu Yunfei said with a smile. Mu Jin and his men had no troops to manage them, so it would not be a problem for them to be promoted to army level, not to mention regimental level!

"Chief of Staff Fang, you see that Captain Chu is very capable of handling things." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Yeah." Fang Ligong had nothing else to say except nodding.

"Then why don't you just promote him to commander? Wouldn't it sound more powerful that way?" Qian Bojun interrupted again.

"Need I say more? We haven't grown to that many people yet. When we grow to hundreds of thousands of people one day, you'll naturally be promoted to commander." Xu Qingfeng said as a matter of course.

"You really have this plan." Qian Bojun didn't know what to say. No one was supervising him, but he could be so willful? He could get promoted whenever he wanted.

"Promotion to commander is still a long way off, there's no rush now." Xu Qingfeng smiled.

The car quickly entered the city, and Liu Changshun and his men followed in and arrived at the military camp in the city.

"Captain Xu, no, Captain Xu, let's get off the car now." Chu Yunfei politely asked Xu Qingfeng to get off the car.

"Your place looks pretty good!" After getting off the car, Xu Qingfeng looked around the military camp. The office building looked very good.

"No, no, it's just average." Chu Yunfei said modestly.

"It seems that one day we should build a big city as our base. Then we can drive out the Japanese living in Taiyuan and live here." Xu Qingfeng said calmly, as if he would definitely be able to take down Taiyuan in the future.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunfei felt frightened. He didn't think Xu Qingfeng was joking.

Who knows when Xu Qingfeng is talking about the future? The Japs are already running out of steam now. When the Japs are really weakened, and Mu Jin and his men really take down Taiyuan and occupy it, will the Jinsui Army dare to attack Mu Jin? !

The answer is no. Even the devils can't defeat Mu Jin. Are they looking for death? !

"Captain Xu, you are joking. Taiyuan is the enemy's base camp here. There are many troops inside. It is not easy to capture Taiyuan.

How about we work together when the time comes? As long as you are ready to fight, you can call us." Chu Yunfei said calmly.

"Okay, okay. When we have enough people, we will definitely call you." Xu Qingfeng responded with a smile. Anyway, the whole thing was to scare Chu Yunfei and make the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army feel scared.

If they really took Taiyuan and refused to leave, Chu Yunfei and his men would not dare to do anything, because the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would be the ones to suffer in a fight.
