Chapter 37
Commander Lu arrived in Dai County and entered the city. Two trucks filled with arms were parked on both sides of the street. The blue sky and white sun flags swaying in the wind made his eyes condense. Could it be that the Central Army also wanted to incorporate Lin Qiang?
Lin Qiang led people to a house and saw a row of officers sitting upright in the living room.
Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, Du Qingshi, the commander of the newly formed Second Division, and even an officer of the Central Army. Judging from the epaulette, he should be a commander of Fu Zuoyi's 7th Army.
Commander Lu felt something wrong in his heart. Lin Qiang obviously became a popular commodity. The Central Army and the Shanxi Sui Army wanted to win over. Needless to ask, the two trucks of arms I saw just now must be the capital of the Central Army to win over Lin Qiang. Alas, I can hold my breath if I think about it. The Eighth Route Army was also a regular army in the Second World War Zone, and its number was the 18th Route Army, but the bald Jiang never distributed arms supply.
Now, in order to win over a group of 500 bandits, two trucks of arms were sent. Damn, enough to equip a regiment!
"Commander Lu, please sit down!" What surprised everyone was that Lin Qiang actually brought Commander Lu, who came empty-handed, to the first guest seat, higher than Du Qingshi.
The Jinsui Army and the Central Army came with the same regiment commander. Du Qingshi was the commander of the new Second Division. He came to Dai County in person to tell the truth, but he was eager to love. When he learned about Lin Qiang's outstanding achievements, he decided to take Lin Qiang under his command. Not only did he come in person, he also brought a thousand mountain cannon shells.
After the battle in Dai County started, he ran away, but he didn't run far away, and kept paying attention to the battlefield. When he learned that Lin Qiang had seized twenty mountain cannons of the Japanese, he brought a thousand shells from the newly formed Second Division, which obviously had a lot of money.
The commander of the 7th Army of the Central Army, named Tian, did not think that he brought two trucks of arms, but they were both rifles, machine guns and bullets, which were far less valuable than these thousand shells. From Lin Qiang's attitude, we can see that one thousand shells were sent to the warehouse without saying a word, but the two trucks of arms did not move.
Chu Yunfei flattered his mouth. He was carrying ten Czech light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, 500 rifles, 500 bullets, and 20,000 oceans. It was the shabby one.
Of course, it is much better than Commander Lu who came empty-handed.
However, what does Lin Qiang mean to ask Commander Lu to take the first guest seat? Has the Eighth Route Army already contacted him?
Chu Yunfei quietly exchanged glances with Commander Tian, Du Qingshi and reached an agreement that no matter what, Lin Qiang could not surrender to the Eighth Route Army. Commander Tian even made a beheading move in secret, which meant that if Lin Qiang surrendered to the Eighth Route Army, they would be strong and would rather eliminate them than sit down and watch Lin Qiang join the Communist Party.
"Haha, Commander Lin, Old Lu came empty-handed, but Old Lu came with sincerity and sincerely invited Commander Lin to join the Eighth Route Army to fight against foreign humiliation together!" Seeing that Lin Qiang did not neglect him, Commander Lu sat down and said straight to the point.
"Commander Lin, Tian came here this time by himself. As long as Commander Lin nods, you will be the commander of the Independent Regiment of the 7th Army in the future. This is the letter of appointment signed by Commander Fu himself." Seeing Commander Lu enter directly, Commander Tian suddenly stood up and took out the letter of appointment.
"Commander Lin, Du also left a regiment commander for Commander Lin. Although the new Second Division was from the Yunnan Army, it was also from the Central Army. Du could agree to the conditions promised by the Regiment Commander Tian. The new Second Division is now stationed east of Dai County, and we are neighbors." Du Qingshi said lightly. He is not as good as Fu Zuoyi, but he is close to him, which is an advantage. As long as Lin Qiang nods, he will send troops to help defend the city. Even if he can't defend Dai County, he will have a way out.
Du Qingshi didn't believe that Lin Qiang could withstand the second counterattack of the Itian United.
After suffering losses, Ida was so embarrassed that he pushed the responsibility for defeat to Katsuo Eino and asked for support from above. Not only were the soldiers replenished, but he also had ten tanks and twenty mountain cannons, and vowed to razed Dai County to the ground. After Du Qingshi received the information, he gathered his subordinates to analyze that even if the new Second Division was all over the Ida United.
What's more, in Du Qingshi's eyes, Lin Qiang was just a group of mobs. The reason he could win was that Ida was careless, and the other was that he was lucky enough to take over Katsuo Yorio's artillery position.
War is cruel and ruthless. Will you have such good luck next time?
Chu Yunfei moved his mouth and didn't say anything. He was just a regiment commander and had no power to come up with better conditions. The Jinsui Army was not a wealthy Central Army, and he did not have the great authority as much as Du Qingshi.
His eyes fell on Lin Qiang, and the room couldn't help but quiet.
Lin Qiang glanced around everyone's face indifferently, stood up and folded his fists, "Thank you for coming from afar. The wedding date of Lin and Miss Tan's family is scheduled tomorrow. You can come and the gifts are expensive, which makes Lin's heart thrilling and unable to repay. Tomorrow, you must eat and drink well and not return without getting drunk!"
"see a visitor out!"
"Captain Chu, please!"
"President Tian, please!"
"Teacher Du, please!"
"Commander Lü, please"
Without saying anything, Qiao Er and others standing on both sides invited the people out of the room one by one.
Commander Tian struggled and shouted: "Commander Lin, I am here to recruit you, not to eat and drink, whether it is successful, give me a happy word."
Lin Qiang respectfully sent Commander Lu out as if he hadn't heard it.
Du Qingshi and Chu Yunfei looked at each other and shook their heads. They were not here to have a wedding banquet. It was obvious that Lin Qiang was pretending to be crazy and did not agree or refuse.
Waiting for sale?
Du Qingshi smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he still underestimated Lin Qiang.
To put it bluntly, perhaps only the Eighth Route Army can like the miscellaneous armed forces of only 500 people, but they really don’t like them. How could the Jinsui Army, the Central Army, and the Yunnan Army care about only 500 people? What they care about is military achievements. As long as Lin Qiang is included under their own hands, the contribution of defending Dai County to repel the Icefield United will naturally be theirs.
After the full invasion of the Japanese, the Chinese army retreated step by step, Peking was lost, Tianjin was lost, Hebei fell, and the Battle of Songhu... The whole country was filled with clouds of failure. Many people felt that the Japanese army was invincible, so it was better to surrender directly and save bloodshed and sacrifice. This surrender argument still has a certain market for the senior management of the Central Army. For example, Wang Jingwei advocated surrender and pro-Japanese.
As the commander-in-chief, naturally, Jiang would not surrender, but the army did not give him a strong face. In addition to failure, there was still failure. Dai County has now won a great victory, not by the Eighth Route Army, but by a group of unknown bandits. Many people saw the opportunity. If this credit is taken over, they will immediately become a role model in the army and become famous throughout the country.
Commander Tian Chu Yunfei and Du Qingshi all came for this, but Commander Lu really wanted to recruit Lin Qiang and strengthen the anti-Japanese forces.
