"Easy to say, easy to say!" Li Yunlong slowly took the teapot and filled Chu Yunfei's teacup.
After Chu Yunfei's words, Li Yunlong determined that his superior's order "not to be refused" was actually to stabilize the Jinsui Army.
Isn't this easy?
Wouldn't it be better if we made it clear earlier?
I was asked to guess this and that for a long time!
Li Yunlong raised the tea cup and took a sip, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, this little devil is not interesting enough, why do you keep this thing? It would be great if you keep a few jars of wine!"
Chu Yunfei knew that Li Yunlong was addicted to alcohol, so he continued what he said: "Brother Yunlong, why don't Mr. Chu have someone send some jars of good wine to express his feelings..."
"Hey!" Li Yunlong raised his hand and said, "Brother Chu, let's go back to the drawing board. The matter has not been settled, so I won't accept the wine, otherwise I will be taking advantage of others!"
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Brother Yunlong, we have met each other now. You and I are lucky enough to fight against the Japanese pirates on the battlefield together. It is a life-and-death friendship. How can we call it a friendship by sending a few jars of wine?"
'Soft touch'!"
In fact, Chu Yunfei really felt a bit heroic and short of breath.
Back then, he still looked down on Li Yunlong and his idiots, thinking that their troops with millet and rifles would not be able to play a big role no matter what they did.
But in the blink of an eye, in just one year, the Eighth Route Army has undergone earth-shaking changes: it has rifles, bullets, and even rocket launchers and tanks.
On the other hand, the Jinsui Army has been reduced to purchasing equipment from the Eighth Route Army, and now it is even more humble to seek Yuncheng in the name of the overall situation of the War of Resistance...
It can be said that this moment is the same as that moment!
Li Yunlong didn't think much about it. He put down the teacup and said, "Brother Chu, let's set up the Dragon Gate Formation on the Moon Dam and explain it clearly. Before the Jinsui Army stationed in Yuncheng, one gate after another was exchanged for food or something!
This time..."
After saying this, Li Yunlong stopped talking and looked at Chu Yunfei with a smile.
As soon as he heard Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei's worried heart was relieved.
He had been worried before that the Eighth Route Army was unwilling to give up Yuncheng, even if it was bought with supplies.
The reason is simple, Yuncheng is not just Yuncheng.
Yuncheng is the foundation for the Jinsui Army, and it is also the foundation for the Eighth Route Army... The copper and iron used by the Eighth Route Army to produce rifles and bullets all come from the minerals in Yuncheng.
More importantly, Yuncheng is the link connecting the Luliang Mountain defense line and the Zhongtiao Mountain defense line.
As soon as Yuncheng lost the Eighth Route Army's defense line, it was immediately divided into two to fight... Zhongtiao Mountain would not be able to obtain the food and ammunition from Luliang Mountain, and Luliang Mountain would not be able to obtain the copper, iron and salt from Zhongtiao Mountain.
This was also fatal to the Eighth Route Army.
The reason why the Eighth Route Army was willing to hand over Yuncheng to the Jinsui Army for garrison before was that it believed that the Jinsui Army could defend Yuncheng. At the same time, the Jinsui Army was a local armed force in Shanxi and won the support of Shanxi people, so the Eighth Route Army was also willing to unite this unitable force.
.
But now people's hearts have changed, and the people of Shanxi no longer trust the Jinsui Army. It is simply wishful thinking for the Jinsui Army to defend Yuncheng. Only Yan Laoxi, who is unwilling to fail and is not in danger of his life, dares to try again... even if he fails to defend Yuncheng again.
Living in Yuncheng, Yan Laoxi can still abandon the city and leave. There is not much risk to him.
But the Eighth Route Army's risks were greater.
The Eighth Route Army was willing to put itself in danger for a small profit?
Then Chu Yunfei thought that maybe the Eighth Route Army did not see this. After all, the Eighth Route Army headquarters was far away in Luliang Mountain instead of Zhongtiao Mountain.
If the Eighth Route Army is willing to change, it won't be a big problem. Isn't it just food or ammunition?
At worst, when the Jin-Sui army returned to Yuncheng, they could just transfer these things to the people and call them the expenses of the war of resistance.
And the Jinsui Army can not only take back Yuncheng, but also continue to own the cash cows of salt lakes and minerals... Why not?
Chu Yunfei thought so in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Brother Yunlong, it's not interesting for you to say that. Chu has donated all the materials in Yuncheng to your army in exchange..."
At this time, Li Yunlong no longer had the patience to beat around the bush with Chu Yunfei. He raised his head and interrupted Chu Yunfei's words: "Brother Chu, if you want to talk, let's talk. If you don't, just give it a try! If you come here again, you'll be fine."
Yao, forgive me, Li Yunlong, for not accompanying me, Brother Chu, please do as you please!"
After saying that, he actually stood up and showed off his guests.
At this time, Chu Yunfei became a little anxious, and quickly changed his tone and said: "Brother Yunlong, please be patient. Business is always discussed slowly. If Brother Yunlong is not satisfied, then make a price. Chu
It’s better to discuss it with the commander!”
"What's the price?" Li Yunlong looked embarrassed and said, "This really stumps me. What should I ask for?"
Then, without waiting for Chu Yunfei to answer, he started scolding to himself:
"Ammunition? We can make it ourselves, and tens of millions of rounds have been seized this time, enough to last a year and a half! No, no, no!"
"Grain! I just bought a lot of it from Yingjiang. There's a lot seized here. Plus our own fields, it's enough to last for several years! Isn't it stupid to exchange for grain?"
"What is missing? Really..."
Then Li Yunlong seemed to have remembered something, stopped and asked: "By the way, we are short of anti-aircraft guns, and we are always bullied by Japanese planes. Their big heads fly around like flies, which is annoying!"
When Chu Yunfei heard this, he shook his head helplessly: "Brother Yunlong, aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass Mr. Chu? Where did the Jinsui Army get the anti-aircraft guns?"
If we really talk about it, the Jinsui Army was indeed equipped with anti-aircraft guns.
But that was only "equipped". That was all in the 1930s, that is, ten years ago. Yan Laoxi purchased a batch of Oerlikon 20mm machine guns and became the first Chinese army to be equipped with anti-aircraft guns.
However, the requirements for anti-aircraft artillery in warlord melee are not high... warlords generally do not have fighter planes.
Therefore, Yan Laoxi did not follow up on the equipment of the air defense troops, so this kind of machine gun became obsolete or forgotten over the years.
On the contrary, the stubborn army used this kind of machine gun to make a contribution in the Battle of Taierzhuang... They used this kind of small-caliber machine gun to hit the Japanese tanks, and they penetrated one by one.
Li Yunlong pretended to be surprised and said: "No? What about tanks? We have lost a lot of tanks in Dayun City and we are in short supply of these!"
Chu Yunfei shook his head again. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Jinsui Army had a few tanks, but because they had no combat experience, they were blown up by the Japanese in a few blows.
Not long ago, Chu Yunfei was still wondering how the Eighth Route Army, which had never used tanks before, could use tanks to perfection... This was not something that an idiot could do just by luck.
"What about the artillery?" Li Yunlong asked again.
Chu Yunfei shook his head again. The Jinsui Army did have some artillery originally, but after the two defeats in Yuncheng, the artillery only had a few old cannons that were not of much use. Chu Yunfei was embarrassed to say that he had them.
