Fang Ligong had been in the Jinsui Army for many years, so he understood Yan Xishan's temper very well!
Starting from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Yan Xishan had experienced three periods: the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang government, and the Republic of China. His bureaucratism and feudal ideology were still very strong!
According to Chu Yunfei's behavior, he would definitely be considered to have offended his superiors. At the very least, he would be dismissed!
Chu Yunfei put down the phone in his hand, tidied up his military uniform, and said,""A commendation order and 200,000 yuan worth of military pay!”
Err…
Fang Ligong was stunned on the spot. He was dumbfounded and could not believe it. After a moment, he came back to his senses."Regiment Commander, Officer Yan didn't punish but rewarded instead? This is really something to celebrate, hahaha!”
Fang Ligong finally let go of the worry that hung in his heart!
"I wonder what Yan Laoxi is planning!”Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said,"Whatever. Since Yan Laoxi is giving me money, I can use it to expand the army!”
If Yan Laoxi wanted to remove Chu Yunfei from his position, then Chu Yunfei would immediately pull the 358th Regiment away from the Jinsui Army and establish his own unit!
However, since Yan Laoxi had not been removed from his post, he could use the pay and equipment of the Jinsui Army to expand his troops!
The army's pay was provided by someone, and the troops were still his!
It would be a waste not to take advantage of this!
Chu Yunfei already had his own plans!
Early the next morning, Chu Yunfei had just woken up and washed up when Fang Ligong walked in excitedly,""Guild Leader, Guild Leader, good news!”
"Just now, the chairman also sent a commendation order and rewarded our 358th Regiment with 300,000 yuan in salary!”
300,000 military pay?
Old Jiang was sending money again!
"That's good!" When Chu Yunfei heard this, he smiled and said,""It seems that the victory at the Gray Cloud Ridge has alerted the Chongqing government!”
Chu Yunfei didn't know that Old Jiang and Yan Xishan had already been fighting openly and secretly!
The battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge had shocked the entire country. Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment's announcement had gradually spread throughout the northwestern part of Shanxi and even the entire country!
The people of the country gradually knew that Chu Yunfei and Regiment 358 were so powerful in the Jinsui Army.
In the following days, the entire 358th Regiment was training, recruiting, and expanding the troops!
East Ridge Village.
This was a small town not far from Gray Cloud Town!
Regiment 358's logistics conscription team had also come here to recruit soldiers!
After an impassioned speech, the recruitment propaganda staff immediately said,"Now is the time for our 358th Regiment to expand. We welcome those with lofty aspirations to come and register!”
Immediately, the villagers began to discuss!
"Ergou, do you want to join Regiment 358?”A muscular man looked at a man beside him and said,""Let's be companions!"
"Jin Sui Army? Wasn't this the army of the warlords? You only know how to hit your own people!" The man hesitated and said,"I want to join the Eighth Route Army!"”
"Do you know about the great victory at the Gray Cloud Ridge some time ago?”"The 358th Regiment wiped out over 4,000 Japanese!" the tall man said.”
"The 8th Route Army was chased all over the mountain by this group of Japanese, but the 358th Regiment was able to get rid of these Japanese.”
"Really?" Buttface asked suspiciously.”
"Why would I lie to you?" The tall man said," Ergou, I plan to join the 358th Regiment. Not only will the equipment be good, but the pay will also be high. It won't be a problem for us to fight the Japanese!"”
"I'm in, I'm in!" As he spoke, the tall man quickly raised his hand to sign up for the army.
Buttface looked at the tall man's back and hesitated for a long time. Then, he quickly ran to the conscription office and said,"I want to register too, I want to register too!”
Immediately, more and more villagers responded!
It was worth mentioning that the reputation of the Jinsui Army in the entire northwest of Shanxi and even Shanxi was very good. In addition, the military pay was not low, so many people were willing to join the Jinsui Army.
During the period of the Republic of China, warlords fought everywhere, and it was difficult to survive.
However, in such a chaotic era, Shanxi had always been relatively peaceful and stable under the protection of the Jinsui Army. Coupled with the geographical advantage, it basically did not suffer from the scourge of warlords.
Therefore, before the Japanese army invaded Shanxi, Shanxi temporarily had a relatively stable society and developed production. A large number of disaster victims from neighboring provinces such as Henan, Shandong, and Hebei flooded into Shanxi, seeking a place to live and work in peace!
Among them, the Jinsui Army played an important role!
At the same time, because of the great victory at the Gray Cloud Ridge, the people saw the strength of Chu Yunfei and the 358th Regiment. They knew that this was a team that truly resisted the Japanese and fought the devils, so they joined one after another!
It was not difficult to expand the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army!
In just a month, the 358th Regiment had grown from 5000 to 8000 men!
Not only did they make up for the losses in the Battle of Gray Cloud Ridge, but they also increased the number of people by more than 3000.
The development speed was extremely fast.
Originally, the 358th Regiment had four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion!
After the expansion, the 358th Regiment had six infantry battalions and two artillery battalions. The number of logistics organizations and non-frontline combat troops had been greatly increased!
Although it was still a regiment, its strength had already reached a brigade, equivalent to a division of the 8th Route Army!
