"Are you?" Liu Gen looked at the officer who spoke, and could see the contempt in his eyes.

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly. He turned to look at the officer who spoke rashly, and was a little helpless. He knew that these artillery officers would have some twists and turns when they saw Liu Gen. On the way, Chu Yunfei heard that these artillery officers were dissatisfied with Liu Gen's achievements. Even if they received orders to communicate, they did not think that Liu Gen's ability was very strong.

Especially when he saw Liu Gen so young, the artillery officers in the Jinsui Army Exchange Group felt that Liu Gen's previous achievements were entirely due to his good luck.

The artillery officers who came to communicate in the Jinsui Army were all over 30 years old. Compared with Liu Gen, their age was undoubtedly much worse. However, in terms of the achievements they achieved, they could not compare with Liu Gen, which made them somewhat doubt that Liu Gen's record was fake and did not think that Liu Gen would be so powerful.

The artillery officer spoke to see how strong Liu Gen was and to find a certain basis for their guesses.

"I am the major battalion commander of the Jinsui Army Artillery Corps, Du Jie."

"Before entering the exchange group, Commander Yan of our Second War Zone kept saying that an artillery genius emerged from the Eighth Route Army, who was very powerful! He once shot down the Japanese fighter planes!"

"But now when I see you, I feel that it is not worthy of my name. In you, I have not seen any temperament of artillery, nor do I see that you have enough strength!" Du Jie said without changing his face. Before he spoke, Du Jie made enough preparations and kept saying that Liu Gen's skills were good, but if he was more powerful than Liu Gen after competing with Liu Gen, would he be given more attention?

Du Jie was the major battalion commander and performed very well in many battles. In their artillery regiment, his artillery skills were also among the best.

In Du Jie's opinion, Liu Gen's strength must have been exaggerated. With Liu Gen's age, even if he has some strength, how powerful can he be? Du Jie knew clearly that at Liu Gen's age, he did not have very strong artillery skills at all. To be precise, at that time, he was still a novice among the newcomers.

"Oh? There is no temperament that belongs to artillery? What is the temperament of artillery? Is it just like Battalion Commander Du?" Liu Gen said mercilessly.

Liu Gen can see that Du Jie has a lot of fat on his body. Perhaps Du Jie's artillery skills are good, but he must be negligent in training on weekdays. Otherwise, with the strength of artillery training, there would be no such much fat! Liu Gen doesn't have to think about it, and he can guess Du Jie's thoughts, just think he is more powerful than himself.

"Hmph! Nothing to say anything!"

"Aren't your artillery skills very powerful? Since that's the case, then let's compete?" Du Jie no longer hesitated and said in anger.

The brigade commander on the side looked at all this with a faint smile on his face. He had no idea of ​​saying a word to stop him. The brigade commander knew Liu Gen's strength clearly and believed that Liu Gen would not have any problems. If there were too powerful artillery in the Jinsui Army, then the Jinsui Army would have been exposed long ago in the battle with the Japanese.

"I have no problem, but I need to ask our brigade commander to get permission from the brigade commander." Liu Gen said calmly.

Liu Gen knew that the Jinsui Army Exchange Group came to the 386th Brigade for exchanges and would definitely not be at peace. As the Jinsui Army, they would not easily look down on the Eighth Route Army. After all, the Jinsui Army was much stronger in terms of weapons and equipment and training the soldiers. Knowing this point of the Jinsui Army Exchange Group, Liu Gen did not think about communicating with them in a harmonious manner. If they did not defeat them, it would be difficult for this exchange to continue.

If this exchange continues, Liu Gen needs to eliminate the arrogance of these Jinsui Army officers and make them clearly aware of the changes in the Eighth Route Army, so that they can restrain themselves.

In Liu Gen's opinion, such communication between the two sides is actually not of much use. Even if you can learn something from these people, there may not be too much. Of course, it is now anti-Japanese. In order to be able to fight with the Jinsui Army, it is still very necessary to communicate.

Besides, once the Eighth Route Army rejected the idea that the Jinsui Army wanted to communicate, then I don’t know what Commander Yan in the Second War Zone would have.

"Of course there is no problem. I will ask someone to arrange the time and let you two have a good communication."

"Are there any other people who want to communicate with Liu Gen? If so, come together, otherwise it will be very troublesome if this situation occurs again." The brigade commander asked with a smile.

The other artillery officers in the exchange group did not make any noise. They knew Du Jie's ability clearly. Compared with Du Jie, they were not much stronger. If Du Jie defeated Liu Gen in exchange, there would naturally be no problem. However, if they could not defeat Liu Gen, it would be useless to go to more people.

"Braft Commander, it seems that there is nothing left. It seems that I can only let me communicate with Battalion Commander Du." Liu Gen looked at the other artillery officers in the exchange regiment and said a little regretfully.

Chu Yunfei stared at Liu Gen with his eyes. He could see that Liu Gen's eyes were full of confidence, as if he was not worried that he would lose to Du Jie. When things got to this point, everyone knew what the communication between Liu Gen and Du Jie meant. If Du Jie lost, at most it would be embarrassing. If Liu Gen lost, the problem would be very serious, which would easily affect Liu Gen's reputation and thus have a certain impact on the image of the Eighth Route Army.

"Brig Commander, lunch is ready." Xiao Li walked in from outside and reported to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander nodded and smiled and said, "Everyone from the Jinsui Army, we have prepared everyone's lunch. Let's leave it after lunch. I believe everyone is hungry."

The officers in the Jinsui Army Exchange Group naturally had no objection. They were very respectful to the brigade commander. They had fought with the Japanese clearly knew that the Japanese had strong combat effectiveness. However, the 386th Brigade led by the brigade commander had won many victories in the battle with the Japanese, which was incomparable to them.

Lunch was very simple. Even to entertain the Jinsui Army Exchange Group, the brigade cooking team did not cook too many good meals, just ordinary dishes. Perhaps the only difference is that one or two more dishes than before.

Seeing that the lunch was so simple, many officers of the Jinsui Army Exchange Group were a little dissatisfied. They didn’t expect that the lunch served by the Eighth Route Army would be so bad. It would be better to bring some canned food in breakfast. It would be fine if there were only a few dishes, but they still had steamed buns. How could they bear it? You know, these officers usually eat big white steamed buns, and their living standards are much better than those of the Eighth Route Army.

"Isn't there any white flour buns? This is too simple, right?"

"Yeah yeah!"

“…”

The officers of the Jinsui Army Exchange Group talked a lot. They sat at the table and suspected that the 386th Brigade had done on purpose. However, when they saw the brigade commander picking up steamed buns and eating them naturally, they realized that they were wrong. From the brigade commander's extremely natural actions, these officers could see that the brigade commander did not eat steamed buns in daily life, which made them a little silent. Even the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army was used to these foods, and the living standards of the Eighth Route Army were too low.

"Oh, I feel ashamed to say that I always thought the Eighth Route Army was in a difficult position, but it was not too difficult!"

"But now, I find that your Eighth Route Army has also paid a lot in the battle with the Japanese! When I go back, I must ask my soldiers to send you some supplies to show my support for your army's war of resistance." Chu Yunfei said with a sincere expression.

Chu Yunfei also knew that the situation of the Eighth Route Army was very difficult, especially in the past six months, the Japanese have been storing the Eighth Route Army's base areas. The Japanese implemented the three-light policy in the Eighth Route Army's base areas, allowing Chu Yunfei, who knew the specific situation, to take the initiative to send troops to fight the Japanese troops several times. However, because the Japanese had extremely strong combat effectiveness and insufficient cooperation with the troops, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment did not achieve much record.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army was undoubtedly much better. The Japanese did not take the initiative to attack the Jinsui Army for many times. Chu Yunfei was not sure about the specific situation, but he also knew that the Jinsui Army could be treated like this, which was related to the order issued by Yoshio Ian Song, the commander of the First Japanese Army. They wanted to win the support of Yan Xishan politically.

Chu Yunfei was just a regiment commander in the Jinsui Army, and he could not do anything, nor had any say. Moreover, for Chu Yunfei, he was a soldier and he was the duty to obey orders. As long as there was no big change in the senior management, he would remain loyal enough. After Chu Yunfei took over the 358th Regiment, the materials he needed were always timely replenished, which was completely the treatment that only the main group of the Jinsui Army had.

"Then I would like to thank Captain Chu. We also want to get some good things to greet everyone, but there is no way. Our Eighth Route Army is too poor and can't produce any good things at all."

"When the anti-Japanese victory is successful, I will invite everyone to have a good meal if I have the chance." Brigade Commander Chen said.

Du Jie picked up the chopsticks and put them down again. He couldn't help but ask: "As far as I know, your army should have supplies from the Chongqing government every month. With those supplies, how could it be so difficult?"

After saying that, Du Jie felt that others looked at him in unison, which made her realize that the question she was asking was extremely stupid. With the relationship between the Chongqing government and the Eighth Route Army, it is correct to fight against Japan on the United Front, but it is undoubtedly impossible for the Eighth Route Army to get enough supplies.

Liu Gen looked at Du Jie and was a little more friendly to him. At least Du Jie knew how to ask this question. Liu Gen believed that many people in the Jinsui Army exchange group must have realized this question, but they all chose to be blind and would not ask it easily, let alone on such occasions.

"Everyone should know the specific situation. We don't expect to get supplies from the Chongqing government. That's too difficult. Our Eighth Route Army still has to rely on ourselves."

"We Eighth Route Army cannot hold you back. If your Jinsui Army is raised by your biological mother, our Eighth Route Army is raised by your stepmother. How high do you have to ask for your stepmother? If you want to drink milk and scream, you might even get slapped." The brigade commander said directly.

The officers present were silent. They all understood the brigade commander's meaning and understood the brigade commander's attitude. In terms of the anti-Japanese war, the Eighth Route Army had always fought in the rear of the Japanese, involving a lot of Japanese troops, especially the Hundred Regiments War organized in 40 years, which strongly supported the battle of the front-line national army. However, even the Eighth Route Army, which was so brave to resist the war, could not obtain enough supplies. It can be said that it was very difficult for the Eighth Route Army to develop to this day.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yunfei said, "I, Chu Yunfei, don't know the situation of the Chongqing government, but I can be sure that as long as your army needs it in the future, our 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will definitely help you without hesitation!"

Other officers also spoke one after another, and no one could tell what happened in the future. It was possible to make a promise of helping each other.

After the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army was replaced by Okamura Yasui, these officers of the Jinsui Army could feel the changes in the Japanese occupied areas, and they all had a lot of sense of crisis. Now they have given a promise of helping each other. If they are attacked by the Japanese, they can also ask for help from the Eighth Route Army troops.

"Okay! Then I'll thank you all here!"

"As long as we fight the Japanese, then our Eighth Route Army will never refuse!" the brigade commander said firmly.

After lunch, the brigade commander led the Shanxi-Suizhou Army Exchange Corps to the artillery team of the brigade headquarters, and Liu Gen was also among them. The next battle between Liu Gen and Du Jie was put on the artillery team training ground by the brigade commander. Such a good opportunity was naturally to let the soldiers of the artillery team see that the brigade commander would not miss any opportunity that would allow the soldiers to improve.

In the morning, Xiao Li told the artillery captain Ning Ze about the battle between Liu Gen and Du Jie. It was precisely because of this that Ning Ze stopped the afternoon training of the soldiers and made room for Liu Gen and the two of them. Ning Ze was particularly shocked when he knew that someone dared to compete with the old captain Liu Gen. He did not expect that there would be someone who would have the courage to compete with his old captain.

But after knowing that Du Jie was an artillery officer of the Jinsui Army, Ning Ze understood that no wonder anyone dared to compete with Liu Gen. It turned out that it was not an artillery soldier of his own troops. Ning Ze was sure that if the artillery soldier in the Eighth Route Army would not have any idea of ​​competing with Liu Gen. They all knew clearly how strong Liu Gen was.

Ning Ze thought that Liu Gen could win without considering the battle between Liu Gen and Du Jie, and he had blind admiration for Liu Gen.
