Bright Sword: Stop pretending, I am the most powerful warlord

"Commander Chu, can the deputy commander of your 358 regiment command so many people?"

Seeing Chu Yunfei whose jaw was about to drop from shock, Wu Qianli couldn't help joking.

But Chu Yunfei and the others were all dumbfounded. When they went to Heiyun Mountain last time, they remembered that Wu Qianli's team only had more than 1000 people.

But how long is this short?This number has reached such a terrifying number.

Even Chu Yunfei couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: The Eighth Route Army pulled the team too fast.

Fang Ligong on the side came back to his senses, obviously still a little dissatisfied.

"Wars are not just based on the number of people. A large number of people does not mean a strong combat effectiveness."

Wu Qianli smiled slightly: "Commander Fang is right."

"Your Jinsui Army is no less numerous than our Eighth Route Army, and you can be regarded as a big force in Northwest Shanxi, but it's really not satisfactory in terms of fighting devils."

Wu Qianli pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, Chu Yunfei and others naturally heard it.

In terms of numbers and weapons and equipment, the Jinsui Army can be said to be more than two blocks away from the Eighth Route Army.

But in terms of fighting devils, they have always adopted the strategy of not fighting and avoiding war.

The fundamental reason lies in the senior officials of the Jinsui Army.

Especially Yan Laoxi, on the surface his Jinsui army is a team to fight devils, but in fact, he has reached a non-aggression agreement with devils secretly.

It is also for this reason that many patriotic generals in the Jinsui Army were unable to realize their talents and ambitions, and finally died without a problem and switched to other forces.

"You..." Fang Ligong's face was flushed red, just as he was about to refute, he saw that Wu Qianli had already turned his head away.

"Old Yang, Chief of Staff Fang of the Jinsui Army said that our fighting power is not enough, do we have to show it to Commander Chu?"

Yang Zhihua in the crowd smiled slightly, and shouted to the front: "Brothers in the infantry, please make way for us to block our cannons from the sun!"

In an instant, all the infantry scattered left and right, and a series of black cannons appeared in front of Chu Yunfei and others.

Chu Yunfei and the others turned pale in an instant, especially Fang Ligong, who mocked Wu Qianli's team just a second ago because they had a large number of people and low combat effectiveness.

But now, these cannons were like a heavy slap, hitting him hard in the face.

Chu Yunfei's complexion didn't look good either.

During the First Battle of Lijiapo, they only knew that Wu Qianli supported the Eighth Route Army, but at that time, because of the distance, he didn't know how many cannons Wu Qianli had.

Now it seems that I still underestimated Wu Qianli's strength after all.

"Commander Chu, I'm sorry, there are a lot of cannons. In order to prevent the shells from getting wet, I have to pull them out to bask in the sun from time to time."

"Your 358th Regiment is also one of the main regiments of Mr. Yan and Commander Yan. The number of artillery pieces must be no less than mine. I believe Regimental Leader Chu can understand, right?"

Wu Qianli said strangely, and Chu Yunfei, who was almost angry, vomited blood directly.

It is true that the 358th regiment is Yan Laoxi's main force, and it does have several artillery pieces.

But at best, it is an artillery battalion, adding up to ten artillery pieces, how many artillery pieces are here in Wuqianli?Almost four artillery battalions.

"Cough cough!"

Chu Yunfei coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment: "The strength of the brother's team really cannot be underestimated."

"But brother, you should know that there are many forces intertwined in Northwest Shanxi. No matter how powerful an army is, if it doesn't have the support of reinforcements, what will happen if it is surrounded by the enemy?"

"It is not an exaggeration to say that after a few battles, your Eighth Route Army is already like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. If you are attacked by a large number of enemies, you will be in a very dangerous situation."

"If brothers join our Jinsui Army, then this will no longer be a problem. We will extend a helping hand at all costs. I hope brothers will think about it again!"

Wu Qianli nodded: "Commander Chu is right!"

"Now the strength of our Eighth Route Army has indeed been dispersed due to these few battles, and we really need a strong team as support."

Chu Yunfei laughed: "Since that's the case, when will brother?"

"Then I invite Commander Chu to lead the 358th regiment to join our Eighth Route Army!"

Before Chu Yunfei could finish speaking, Wu Qianli spoke first.

Chu Yunfei was taken aback, and looked at Wu Qianli in surprise: "What do you mean by brother?"

Wu Qianli smiled slightly: "Commander Chu, the official designation of our Eighth Route Army is the 18th Group Army of the National Revolutionary Army, which belongs to the regular army sequence!"

"Your Ministry belongs to the Jinsui Army. In other words, before the Northern Expedition, Yan's troops belonged to the local army."

"Have you seen any local army that incorporated regular troops?"

"This..." Chu Yunfei was suddenly speechless.

Wu Qianli smiled slightly: "I think Head Chu's proposal just now is very good."

"I still have the position of deputy company commander here. I wonder if Captain Chu is interested?"

Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment, he was obviously the one who came to recruit, how could he become the one who was recruited in an instant?

And this time he came here with Yan Laoxi's order. He thought he was holding Shangfang's sword, but it turned into a salted fish?

"You are all nonsense!" Fang Ligong said angrily: "Our regiment is also a regiment leader after all, how could it be possible to come to you as a small deputy company commander?"

"That's right!" Wu Qianli smiled instead of anger: "Isn't that the reason?"

"Your regiment commander Chu will not give up your status as the commander of the Jinsui Army to join our Eighth Route Army, just like I will not give up my status as the Eighth Route Army."

"So for recruiting this matter, Captain Chu doesn't have to waste any more time on me."

"If you have this skill, why not develop your own strength and get more artillery, after all, a regiment is chased by a squadron of Sakata United, and the reputation is not good!"

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath, his face was extremely ugly: "Since the past is over, don't mention it again."

"Since brother is not willing to join my 358 regiment, then Chu can't force him, but I will always reserve the position of deputy head of the 358 regiment for my brother."

Wu Qianli nodded and said with a smile: "I am the same, and the position of deputy company commander is also willing to be reserved for Commander Chu."

"There are a lot of things to do, so head Chu will walk slowly!"

Chu Yunfei cupped his hands with a cold face, then turned around angrily and went down the mountain.

On the way back, everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

"Tuan Zuo, that guy is so arrogant, he dared to insult us."

"In my opinion, we simply pull the troops over, defeat them, and then forcibly incorporate them!"

Fang Ligong on horseback turned his head to look at Chu Yunfei, and said angrily.

"Chief of Staff Fang is right!" Sun Ming also echoed, "Sir, we have orders from Chief Yan, why don't we go directly to Li Yunlong and ask him for someone."

"Directly order those people from Feihu Ridge to join our team in the form of an order!"

Chu Yunfei frowned, and looked at Sun Ming in surprise: "Adjutant Sun, I did all this to let them join our team."

"If we go directly to Li Yunlong's important person, wouldn't that be the same as telling the Eighth Route Army that we miss their team?"

"In my opinion, the Eighth Route Army has just won a battle, so it's normal for the people in Feihuling not to join."

"However, Chu believes that when the Eighth Route Army fails, this group of people in Feihuling will inevitably choose a new leader, and they will definitely join our Jinsui Army on their own initiative."

Sun Ming and Fang Ligong nodded: "Then what should we do now?"

The corner of Chu Yunfei's mouth curled into a smile: "Go back to the station first, report this matter to Chief Yan, and wait for further instructions!"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, Yan Laoxi, who was in Luliang, was furious after receiving Chu Yunfei's telegram.

He himself didn't expect that Wu Qianli and others would dare to refuse his order and make him lose face.
