"Brother Tiefeng!"

"Brother Yunfei!"

Independent 94th Brigade Department in Tiandagang.

Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, two Huangpu classmates, met again after three years of separation.

After saluting and shaking hands, the two of them came with a strong bear hug, patting each other's shoulders and laughing loudly, the laughter was filled with joy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Brother Tiefeng, I really didn't expect that you would come to northwest Shanxi!"

"Brother Yunfei, I didn't expect that we would have the chance to kill the enemy side by side!"

"Brother Tiefeng, in order to congratulate you for your success and to welcome you, I have specially prepared some small gifts, and I would like to accept it with a smile."

After saying that, he turned around and waved his hand, the Jinsui army behind him led hundreds of mules and horses over.

Chu Yunfei pointed to the mules and horses lined up and said, "There are 1,000 official rifles, 20 Czech machine guns, 10 Civil 24 heavy machine guns, and 1 ammunition base." He paused and said, "In addition, there are 100,000 yuan in French currency, 200,000 jin of mixed grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn."

Liang Gang hurriedly said, "Brother Yunfei, why are you so embarrassed?"

Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Tiefeng, you and my brother. I will see you when I say this."

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obey." Liang Gang accepted with a happy smile.

Because he knew that Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was gradually changing into American weapons.

Therefore, even if he doesn't take this batch of weapons and equipment, it will be cheaper for other Jinsui troops.

By the way, before Liang Gang set out to northwest Shanxi, although he had visited the Huangshan official residence in Chongqing, Chang Kaishen personally met him and encouraged him.

But it's just verbal encouragement.

There is no actual support.

Liang Gang can also guess what Chang Kaishen means.

It's just that I want to see his performance before betting.

If the 94th Brigade performs well after he takes office, then weapons, equipment, ammunition and even funds will continue to come, and it is even possible to change into American equipment like the 358th Regiment.

If you perform poorly, you don't have to mention anything.

Therefore, the batch of weapons and ammunition provided by Chu Yunfei really solved the urgent needs of Liang Gang and the 94th Brigade.

Liang Gang invited Chu Yunfei to the voyage department and asked someone to pour water.

Liang Gang said with a sarcasm: "Brother Yunfei, I only have boiling water, I hope he can forgive me."

Chu Yunfei smiled and asked again: "Brother Tiefeng, is the situation of the 94th Brigade controlled?

"It's just a group of clowns who can't make the world come true." Liang Gang sneered and said, "But the military discipline of the 94th Brigade has been corrupted by these worms and it may take some time to rectify it. Therefore, in a short time, our 94th Brigade may not be able to support the 358th Regiment from the battlefield."

"It's nothing." Chu Yunfei smiled.

"For at least half a year, there will be no major battles in northwest Shanxi."

"Oh?" Liang Gang said, "Why is Brother Yunfei so sure?"

Chu Yunfei said: "The reason is very simple, because the Japanese army in Shanxi consumed too much in the previous sweeping operations against the Taihang Military Region of the Eighth Route Army. Especially the 2nd Guard Division, which recently changed to Anhua, slandered the vitality in this sweeping. It may be difficult to recover without half a year of rest."

Liang Gang said: "When talking about this sweep, I heard a rumor on the way..."

"Brother Tiefeng, that's not a rumor, but a fact." Chu Yunfei said solemnly.

Liang Gang's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army really killed and injured more than 12,000 Japanese troops with the strength of the first brigade, of which more than 8,000 were killed?"

Chu Yunfei said: "This should be the fact."

Liang Gang said again: "And after completing the cover mission, after killing and wounding so many Japanese troops, the 386th Brigade broke through the encirclement from the front and turned into northwest Shanxi, right?"

"And their activity area is right in the middle of your and my brother's defense zone."

Chu Yunfei said: "This is probably the main reason why the principal transferred you, the tiger general, to northwest Shanxi."

After pausing, Chu Yunfei said again: "The principal definitely hopes to use the power of your general, the tiger and wolf army, to suppress the fierce power of the 386th Brigade, the tiger and wolf army, and not to make it lose control."

"Brother Yunfei is so serious." Liang Gang waved his hand.

"The principal still wants to borrow Brother Chongyunfei."

While he was talking, Liang Gang's guard company commander Gao Shenxing came in.

Seeing Chu Yunfei sitting there, Gao Shenxing didn't know whether he should say it.

Liang Gangdao: "Company Commander Gao, this is the Commander Chu of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and I am also my Huangpu classmate. Even if you have anything to say in front of him, there is no military secret between us."

"Yes!" Gao Shenxing agreed and said, "The investigator reported that the Eighth Route Army in Fuliangshan has launched a large-scale move and is rushing towards the defense zone of our 94th Brigade."

"Yes!" Liang Gang stood up suddenly after hearing this.

"Fuliangshan is the territory of Li Yunlong's Independence Group."

Chu Yunfei also stood up and said, "However, Li Yunlong will not cause friction at this time, so they are most likely not from the 94th Brigade."

"Brother Yunfei, you must be careful of others."

Liang Gang said: "The predecessor of the 94th Brigade was the 94th Division."

"This unit has a deep celebration with the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army."

After saying this, Liang Gang said again: "Tell me the order, the 1st and 3rd regiment will gather immediately!"

...

Wild Wolf Valley is a canyon.

The road leading to Shuiquan in Fu'an County passes through Yelangyu.

There are eight main passages across the Taihang Mountains, namely the Eight Passes of Taihang.

Zhengtai Road is located in Jingxing, while Fu'an and Shuiquan roads take Puyinxing, so this road is also an important passage from Hebei to Shanxi.

After Zhengtai Road and Tongpu Road were attacked by the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, it was this highway that took on the important task of transporting personnel and materials from Peiping to Taiyuan. Otherwise, the Japanese army in Shanxi would have been exhausted.

And now, even though Zhengtai Road and Tongpu Road have been opened again,

Japanese troops and materials often enter Shanxi from this highway.

Wang Ye sent a combat team to squat in Yelangyu for a long time.

In recent days, Wang Ye has personally led the Wolf Warrior Squadron to guard here.

This morning, when a small army of the Japanese passed by Yelang Valley,

Wang Ye was keenly aware that a Japanese army or transportation team was about to pass by.

Wang Ye immediately sent the fastest-running Wei Xi back and forth to Zhaojiayu to report to Li Yunlong.

After receiving Wang Ye's report, Li Yunlong immediately summoned the independent regiment. Except for the kitchen team, the supply department and a small number of civilian personnel left behind, all other combatants were dispatched and brought to Yelang Valley.

Zhao Gang also came with him. Li Yunlong originally didn't want him to come, but Zhao Gang threatened to cancel the combat operation, so Li Yunlong had to obediently obediently.

Li Yunlong asked, "Xiao Wang, how is the situation?"

Wang Ye said with great certainty: "According to my observation, there will definitely be a group of Japanese or transport troops passing by Yelang Valley tonight or tomorrow morning."

"But as for the combat troops,"

"It's hard to say if it's the transport force."

"No matter whether he is a combat unit or a transportation unit, we will do this independent regiment!" Li Yunlong snorted coldly, then turned around and shouted, "3rd Battalion Commander!"

Wang Huaibao responded and said, "Captain?"

Li Yunlong said: "Take the 3rd Battalion and leave the area two kilometers north of Yelang Valley to guard the area."

Watching Wang Huaibao leave with the 3rd Battalion, Wang Ye said: "Captain, are you worried that the 94th Brigade of the Independence will attack us from the flank?"

"The heart of being defensive is necessary." Li Yunlong nodded, "Although the combat effectiveness of the 94th Brigade is not as good as the level, if we suddenly come to us from behind when we are fighting bayonets with the Japanese, it will be very troublesome. If I ask the 3rd Battalion to watch them, there will be no problem."

After saying this, he said: "1 Battalion Commander, 2 Battalion Commander!"

Zhang Dabiao and Chen Quan ran to Li Yunlong in response.

Li Yunlong said: "Team the troops on both sides of Yelang Valley."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan immediately led their troops into the position.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also brought the remaining direct teams into the ambush position.

The sides of the road quickly became quiet, and only the north wind was still whistling.

...

About ten kilometers north of Yelang Valley.

Liang Gang was leading two regiments of the 94th Brigade to about 1,000 troops and advanced southward.

The 94th Division had no chance to be supplemented after breaking through Lin County, so the 94th Brigade had only less than 2,000 people in total, and the three subordinate regiments, each with only 500 people.

Therefore, Liang Gang is just a nominal brigade commander, but in fact he is a regiment commander.

Chu Yunfei was worried that the 94th Independent Brigade would really fight with the Independent Corps, so he also brought Sun Ming and the guard squad to follow him.
