Chapter 192 The New 6th Army
This time he planned to meet Lao Chiang in Yucheng. Ye Feng had his own plans. The purpose of this trip was mainly to find Lao Chiang to ask for an official position and a military organization...
At present, the Hangzhou area is under the control of the Reading Division, and its area and population are many times larger than that of Shannan County in the past. After the recruitment work, the Reading Division will definitely expand the troops. Now, the staffing of two or three thousand people per division will be a bit huge. If the number of troops is expanded again, it is obviously inappropriate to still have the same division.
Ye Feng had a secret talk with Lao Chiang last time and reached some transactions. This time, in order to get a military organization, Ye Feng was preparing to make some transactions with Lao Chiang again.
Several batches of medicines produced by Shannan County Pharmaceutical Factory have been transported to the Third War Zone. This was what Ye Feng promised to Jiang during the last time when Yucheng secretly talked.
Wars are everywhere in the country, and all kinds of drugs seem extremely precious. Penicillin is more expensive than gold. Ye Feng promised to give Lao Jiang 100,000 penicillin.
This time, Ye Feng had his own plans to go to Yucheng again.
...
On September 21, Zhao Long led the main force of the Lijian Special Forces back to Hangzhou safely, and Chen Ruoyun was also passing by.
Ye Feng and Chen Ruoyun met, and they were naturally delighted.
Ye Feng personally went to the north of Hangzhou to greet everyone. Chen Ruoyun was dressed in military uniform and looked heroic. When he saw Ye Feng coming to greet him, his eyes were slightly red and he rushed into Ye Feng's arms and cried with joy.
At noon, a group of senior executives of Reading Master held a special banquet to welcome the special forces.
After Chen Ruoyun came to Hangzhou, he was no longer prepared to leave. He will serve in the Master's Command in the future. Official document Master's Office such as transfer orders will come forward to solve the problem.
After the special forces returned to Hangzhou, they rested for three days. Three days later, Ye Feng took Zhao Long and Long Yi and personally selected ten special forces members. Everyone quietly left Hangzhou City and headed towards Yu City.
Before leaving Hangzhou, Ye Feng arranged all the subsequent matters and told the relevant personnel to be responsible. When Ye Feng left, he was dressed in casual clothes and had several senior executives in a low-key manner to the north of the city to see Ye Feng leave.
Long Yi led five special forces members as a team and set out first. Everyone was wearing casual clothes. Ye Feng led Zhao Long and five other special forces members as a team to follow him, and the two teams were about half a day apart.
The two teams are connected through a small radio station.
The journey was relatively smooth, reaching Yucheng in early October.
This time, Ye Feng was prepared for meeting Lao Jiang, and he had some experience last time. Ye Feng seemed familiar. Lao Jiang personally received Ye Feng. The two had a secret conversation at Lao Jiang's official residence. The talks were very secret. No one knew what the two had talked about and what agreement they reached.
In this secret talk, Ye Feng achieved his goal completely. Ye Feng was awarded the [***] General. In addition, he also obtained the number of a new 6th Army. The Reading Master can be legitimately expanded into the new 6th Army.
However, Ye Feng also paid some price.
Lao Jiang asked Ye Feng for forty 105mm American howitzers, 20 million 7.92mm Mauser rifle bullets, and 100,000 penicillin.
In addition to these, Ye Feng had to agree to Chiang-Cheng to send several confidants to serve in the newly formed 6th Army, serving as deputy commander, or the commander and deputy commander of subordinate divisions.
Lao Chiang was also a smart man and did not want another powerful local warlord. In order to strengthen the control of the newly formed 6th Army, Lao Chiang sent these people to take important positions. According to Lao Chiang's plan, even if the newly formed 6th Army becomes stronger in the future, as long as these people hold these important positions there, Ye Feng's rights will be restricted. The newly formed 6th Army is still a force under the control of Lao Chiang.
This item is very important to Chiang Kai-shek. If Ye Feng did not agree to this, Chiang Kai-shek would never give Ye Feng a military organization. After all, when Ye Feng revived Hangzhou, he was suspected of disobedience.
Fortunately, Hangzhou was successfully restored and the two divisions of the Japanese army were annihilated, which greatly inspired the enthusiasm of the entire people to fight against the war. Otherwise, Chiang Kai-shek would definitely deal with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng agreed readily to the request of Lao Jiang to send people to serve as the important position of the newly-edition 6th Army. Lao Jiang would never have thought that Ye Feng had a Nuwa system that defied the heavens. At present, a large number of senior officers from the Reading Master were all from the Nuwa system and were absolutely loyal to Ye Feng.
After staying in Yucheng for a few days, when Ye Feng left Yucheng, there was an appointment letter in his pocket, which contained Lao Chiang’s handwritten signature and a bright red seal from the Ministry of National Defense.
Before leaving Yucheng, Ye Feng passed the news back to Hangzhou and asked Guo Weiquan, Chu Tianyuan, Liu Yongyan and others who were staying at home to speed up the construction of military facilities and recruit soldiers.
As for the two lieutenant generals who will serve in the newly formed 6th Army, three major generals, a total of five, they will be selected immediately, first report to the Third War Zone, and then go to Hangzhou, and do not return to Hangzhou with Ye Feng and others.
Ye Feng had achieved the purpose of this trip. In Lao Jiang's view, forty heavy artillery, 20 million bullets, and a large number of medicines were already a big profit. It was just a military organization, and Lao Jiang did not have to pay a penny, nor did he need to pay a gun or a bullet.
In addition, after giving a military organization, Chiang Kai-shek also gave an explanation in front of people across the country that the Reading Master is a heroic unit. Not only did he restore Hangzhou, but he also annihilated so many Japanese troops and achieved such great achievements. If Chiang Kai-shek really didn't give anything practical, it would inevitably be discussed by people across the country over time.
In Lao Jiang's opinion, he not only made a big profit, but also won three goals in one fell swoop. He did not get a lot of equipment and medicines urgently needed by the front-line troops, but also gave an explanation to people across the country.
More importantly, so many close friends entered the 6th Army in the new organization to take important positions, increasing their control over the 6th Army.
Because of this, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it for a while and gave Ye Feng a military organization and promoted Ye Feng to [***] General.
All this seemed nothing in Ye Feng's opinion, and it seemed insignificant compared to the army's organization that he urgently needed. Therefore, the two quickly reached an agreement, and both sides felt very satisfied.
There is no shortage of 105mm howitzers themselves, and they are fully capable of providing drugs. These drugs will definitely be used on the soldiers of the anti-Japanese war forces in the front line in the future. Ye Feng is willing to provide more.
As for installing so many people in his troops, Ye Feng didn't care at all. Ye Feng believed that the new 6th Army generals in the future would still be centered on themselves or as solid as a single piece of law.
Ye Feng left Yucheng with satisfaction. On the day he left, Ye Feng even said goodbye to Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang was satisfied with sending a lieutenant general to send Ye Feng and others out of Yucheng.
Ye Feng returned to Hangzhou and the journey was relatively smooth. When he passed by southern Anhui, he encountered some things.
In late October, the weather in the south is still good, with clear and cool autumn weather, temperatures of around ten or twenty degrees, and the view is full of strong autumn colors. Many places Ye Feng passed by have good scenery.
Along the way, I took a car if I had a car, and rode a horse without a car. Today, the same is true. Ye Feng dressed as a businessman, rode a tall horse, took Zhao Long and five special forces members slowly along a country road.
Just now, everyone had already walked for at least ten kilometers. Now, he slowed down. Zhao Long took out the map, rode on the horse, looked at the map, followed Ye Feng, and walked slowly.
"Military throne, there are more than 20 kilometers ahead of you. Is Rongcheng in southern Anhui? Should we go to the city to rest?" Zhao Long looked at the map and said.
Rongcheng is a medium-sized city with a population of hundreds of thousands. However, the city has fallen and is occupied by the Japanese army. Many Japanese army stationed in the city.
Now, Zhao Long calls Ye Feng the military throne without outsiders, and when there are outsiders, he calls Ye Feng the boss.
Ye Feng thought for a while and said, "It's noon soon. Let's see if there is a small town ahead. Let's go to the town to solve the lunch problem first."
"There is a small town less than seven or eighth roads in front of the military mount. If we speed up, we can reach this town in half an hour."
Ye Feng looked at the terrain around him. It was obviously not a plain terrain. It was surrounded by low hills and hills. The trail he rode his horse forward was only one or two meters wide. Ye Feng quickly accelerated his speed by clamping his horse's belly.
After walking for only two or three kilometers, Ye Feng heard a burst of gunfire. The gunfire was very mixed, and there were a few explosions mixed in it. The sound came from Ye Feng's right, and the distance was not far.
Seeing that there was a battle, Ye Feng dismounted and said to everyone: "If there is a situation, please follow me to take a look."
Everyone dismounted and temporarily tied the horses to an open space not far from the road. Ye Feng led everyone with weapons and trotted all the way to the sound. After a few minutes, Ye Feng climbed up a small hill. On the top of the hill, Ye Feng saw both sides fighting.
On the hillside a few hundred meters ahead, there were a large number of soldiers wearing blue cloth uniforms. The army was large in number, at least several hundred people. However, the weapons were relatively backward, with few machine guns, and all kinds of weapons, including bird guns, big swords and spears.
The soldiers' uniforms are also relatively shabby. Some soldiers don't even have military uniforms, wear common people's clothes, wear only a military cap and tie their leggings, which means they are a soldier.
This may be a New Fourth Army unit.
The one who exchanged fire with this army was a Japanese army, about the size of a squadron, and was in a small valley below the hillside, fighting fire with this New Fourth Army unit.
Ye Feng just took a quick look and immediately realized that the New Fourth Army unit had obviously ambushed here for a long time, with the purpose of ambushing this Japanese army. There was a relatively spacious road under the hillside, and this Japanese army might have been passing by.
Although the number of this New Fourth Army unit is several times that of the Japanese, its weapons and equipment level is too poor. When it is in a good position, it is only comparable to the Japanese.
