Chapter 384 What's your temper, Chu Yunfei?
"Immediately contact the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army through the secret radio station and ask them to give an explanation! Now!"
At this point, three days had passed.
Fang Ligong and Shang Zhen, dressed as ordinary people, also returned to the Second War Zone Command in a displaced manner.
Before Shang Zhen had the chance to complain, he was scolded by Yan Xishan.
"My great brigade commander Shang, you were the one who liaised with the capital to ensure that our plan was foolproof. How did you end up like this? And you became a hero in the war of resistance?"
Shang Zhen couldn't explain himself even if he had a lot of mouths all over his body. After all, he didn't know how the news leaked!
"Sir, I know I am guilty of an unforgivable crime, but the bigger problem should be the 358th Regiment. If Chu Yunfei had not refused to save the country in a roundabout way and brought unidentified armed personnel to take back control and the warehouse, this plan might have failed!"
Yan Xishan shook his head helplessly. This was a common problem between the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and Chongqing. They would pass on the blame first when encountering problems.
However, what Shang Zhen said was not wrong. If it weren't for the abnormal factor of Chu Yunfei, even if Li Yunlong was interfering, the Japanese would not have suspected him of being a traitor.
Now Yan Laoxi not only has to solve the problem of possible failure of the "counterattack on Shanxi" plan, but also has to prove to the Japanese that he did not betray the so-called "alliance", but it was the independent column that was instigating.
But he couldn't explain to Okamura Neiji now. Did he have to take the case to court and call the parties involved, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong, for a confrontation?
Isn’t this nonsense!
But if they don't give an explanation to General Okamura, their cooperation may come to an abrupt end.
Old Yan is unwilling to accept this!
That's 300,000 Shanxi-Suiyuan troops! They also have control over three provinces and even North China!
"You have made a contribution. You are also responsible for this incident! You have been in the 358th Regiment for so long, but you don't even have your own troops. How have you managed all these years?"
Fang Ligong lowered his head. If he was only scolded when he came back this time, he would be very lucky.
"Commander Yan, I am incompetent! It is really Chu Yunfei who is too..."
Yan Laoxi raised his right hand and interrupted Fang Ligong.
"Alright! Let's do this for now. Let me think about how to deal with this. You two just have to bear with it for now and stay at the headquarters for a few days!"
After the guards took Shang Zhen and Fang Ligong away, Yan Laoxi finally had time to sit down and think about how to show his loyalty to the Japanese.
He first told Okamura Neiji the whole story, of course omitting the part about Shang Zhen leading the way.
Then, assure him that such a situation will never happen again and that you should find another unit to cooperate with next time!
"Baga, does Yan Xishan think I'm a fool? He stole my equipment once and he wants to do it again!"
Okamura Yasuji was furious, and that anger was directly directed to Yan Xishan.
Yan Xishan's current financial situation cannot withstand the full-scale attack of the Japanese. Although there is an independent column blocking the middle, once the independent column falls, won't the Japanese easily capture him?
"Looks like I have to make a bold move!"
Yan Xishan thought it over again and again, and gave Chu Yunfei a final ultimatum:
Either all members of the 358th Regiment will find a roundabout way to save the country, or they will be accused of disobeying orders, and the consequences can be imagined.
When Chu Yunfei saw Yan Xishan’s telegram, he was so angry that his nose was crooked.
"I've never seen such a shameless person. I never thought I would actually run into one!"
Chu Yunfei was now like meat on the chopping board, being chopped back and forth by Yan Laoxi with a kitchen knife.
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences! Contact Li Yunlong for me!"
In less than three hours, Li Yunlong appeared at the headquarters of the 358th Regiment, exhausted.
"Brother Yunfei, what's the matter that you called me here in such a hurry? Are you anxious to treat me to a drink? This matter is not urgent!"
Chu Yunfei, with a worried look on his face, had no time to pay attention to Li Yunlong's jokes, but instead let out a long sigh.
"Brother Yunlong, I'm not in the mood to drink right now. Even if I drink, I'll just drink to keep myself quiet!"
Li Yunlong sat down without being invited, and sat on Chu Yunfei's stool as if he was a familiar person, pushing him aside.
"What's going on? Tell your brother?"
Chu Yunfei rolled his eyes at him. Even at this time, Li Yunlong had not forgotten to take advantage of him.
"It's a long story. It all starts from the last time you came to help out..."
Li Yunlong listened to Chu Yunfei's "sincere confession" with great excitement, and slammed the table.
"I've heard that your old commander is a piece of shit, but I didn't expect him to be such a piece of shit! I thought he joined the Japs for his own future, and it was fine if he ruined his own reputation and good deeds, but I didn't expect he would drag you into it now! I don't know what your temper is like, Chu Yunfei, but I can't stand it anyway!"
Li Yunlong seemed to treat the headquarters of the 358th Regiment as his own stage and performed there.
"Brother Yunlong, we are now at a dead end anyway!"
"How can you be desperate? Old Li is your way! Come to our independent column and be the deputy commander!"
Chu Yunfei still sighed, as if he was not very satisfied with the result.
"Brother Yunlong, my own future is easy to talk about, but we still have so many brothers in the 358th Regiment. We can't just abandon them, right?"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he thought the implication was that he wanted to bring the entire 358th Regiment here?
A big pie suddenly fell from the sky, which stunned Li Yunlong.
"Brother Yunfei, are you saying that we should also bring the other brothers of the 358th Regiment to our independent column? That's great! Everyone will be promoted to a higher rank, and I will only assign you the political chief officer. You can decide on the other military cadres!"
Chu Yunfei felt a little distressed when he saw Li Yunlong's excited expression.
Although it doesn't matter where you do it, it doesn't matter where you fight the Japanese.
But after all this trouble, it seemed as if he was the one who sold the 358th Regiment to Li Yunlong.
"This is just an idea of mine. Whether it can be realized depends on whether the brothers below agree or not!"
"That's not a big deal! We've put official positions, money, weapons and equipment in front of them. Are you afraid they won't come? You just need to notify them and we'll take them down one by one!"
"Okay, let's do this first!"
Chu Yunfei first called Yan Xishan’s secret radio station, sternly rejected the unreasonable request, and declared that he would rather not take his salary than be a running dog of the Japanese.
Yan Xishan did not expect Chu Yunfei to be so tough, and now he is in a difficult situation.
On one side are the Japanese invaders, and on the other side is one of our reinforced regiments. It is really hard to give up.
"Sir, this choice is not difficult. Since Chu Yunfei has become estranged from us, this reinforced regiment may not be easy to use. As for the 300,000 troops of the Japanese, although they are still on paper, they are still a hope!"
Yan Xishan stroked his chin and thought that what his adjutant said made sense. People with different ideologies cannot work together. Sooner or later, Chu Yunfei will part ways with them.
Instead of letting this piece of "rotten flesh" grow on your body, it is better to take a knife and dig it out directly.
