Song Yuanze was tactful enough not to ask too many questions about the transportation routes of the weapons and equipment.
He did not ask where the cement and other supplies came from.
Song Yuanze's tactfulness made Zhang Chaoqun feel comfortable.
Therefore, when Song Yuanze mentioned that he wanted to see the armored vehicle that had made a great contribution, Zhang Chaoqun readily agreed.
Song Yuanze was a shrewd person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in his position.
From the beginning to the end, he only praised the armored vehicles and did not ask where the armored vehicles were manufactured.
He didn't ask Zhang Chaoqun for it.
Zhang Chaoqun didn't intend to give it away, mainly because he was afraid that the Silver Fox armored vehicle would fall into the hands of the Japanese.
The MG42 did not matter, because the MG42's one-piece stamping technology was something that the Japanese did not have. They could not replicate it even if they wanted to.
Zhang Chaoqun entertained Song Yuanze in the military canteen.
After dinner, Song Yuanze bade farewell and returned to Beiping.
Before he left, Zhang Chaoqun gave a jeep to Song Yuanze. Song Yuanze smiled from ear to ear and thanked him profusely.
After sending Song Yuanze off, Ji Xingwu turned to Zhang Chaoqun and said with emotion,"In less than four months, you went from a new recruit to your current rank of major, controlling a regiment and your own station.”
"Regiment Commander Ji, is there a deeper meaning behind the commander personally coming here?" Zhang Chaoqun said with a smile that was not a smile.”
"Why do you say that?"
"First, he didn't ask me for any weapons and equipment. Second, he asked me to take over your position at Lugou Bridge. How can he trust me that much?" Zhang Chaoqun laughed.”
"It's normal for a commander to love talent and use people without suspicion!”
" As far as I know, the 28th Division used to be under the Northwest Army. Could it be that Commander Song…" Zhang Chaoqun's eyes were like torches. Based on his understanding of history, he had already noticed that Song Yuanze was unusual.
Ji Xingwu was shocked. He did not expect Zhang Chaoqun to guess so accurately.
Looking at Ji Xingwu's expression, Zhang Chaoqun confirmed his judgment.
Song Yuanze, this guy, was really ambitious!
However, this could be used by him.
Zhang Chaoqun did not like Song Yuanze's small scale, but he also knew that China's industrial base was too weak. They did not even have enough energy to produce weapons and ammunition to resist foreign invaders. How could they fight against the foreign powers?
They were already building a new generation of aircraft carriers, while China was still a semi-colony!
If he wanted to overtake someone at a curve, he had to go all out!
Otherwise, when would the government have the right to speak internationally?
Zhang Chaoqun changed the topic and smiled." Right, Commander Ji, our Independent Regiment has taken over Lugou Bridge. Is your 128th Regiment still stationed in Wan Ping?"”
"Of course, in the future, we have to unite and fight together!”
Ji Xingwu looked at Zhang Chaoqun with admiration. He deeply felt that Zhang Chaoqun was far more mature than his age.
"That's right. In the future, our two divisions will have to work together to fight against a strong enemy!" War is not far from us!"
Zhang Chaoqun glanced at Ji Xingwu and said,""Regiment Commander Ji, I have a few instructors that I invited from Country Y's Military Academy. Anyway, it doesn't matter if I teach one or a few more. They can help the 128th Regiment increase their overall combat strength.”
"That's good! Brother, I'll remember this favor of yours!”Ji Xingwu was surprised and delighted.
"We're brothers, there's no need to be so polite." Zhang Chaoqun smiled.”
Ji Xingwu did not know that Zhang Chaoqun was using this move to firmly control the 128th Regiment in the near future.
……
The Independent Regiment took over Lugouqiao Town.
From Lianhe Village to Lugou Bridge, there were more than ten villages in the middle!
Since Song Yuanze had spoken, Zhang Chaoqun would not be polite. He wanted to slowly devour these villages.
The cost of building roads and walls was not high. With Zhang Chaoqun's wealth, he would not care about such a small amount of money.
Moreover, the labor here was almost free.
Those villages had long been envious of the villagers of Lianhe Village. When they saw the army approaching, they were all overjoyed.
In fact, within a radius of 100 miles, the common people knew about Tiger Head Valley, Miao Village, and other villages.
They divided the land, built roads and bunkers, distributed clothes and food, built new houses, and provided them to the villagers for free.
Who wouldn't be envious?
As the independent regiment entered, the commoners were very cooperative.
Zhang Chaoqun's plan to expand his territory was progressing very smoothly.
He followed suit and first trained the village chief, the landlord, and other people with real power. Then, he managed the villagers through these people.
Time flew by like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late July.
There was no movement from Japan for the time being, but the 28th Division quickly transferred a battalion over.
Along with the mobilization of this battalion, Song Yuanze also brought over two carts of rations.
Zhang Chaoqun could exchange for all kinds of food through the system. The white rice was so cheap that he couldn't care less about those coarse grains that were mainly made of millet and corn grits.
However, there was no harm in being prepared. The military rations were all stored in the warehouse.
This battalion was obviously much better in terms of military quality. It was clear that Song Yuanze was still willing.
The new battalion, including the previous company of eighty men, had a total of nearly five hundred men.
Zhang Chaoqun let them settle down in the military camp in Tiger Head Ravine. Every day, they were arranged to undergo high-intensity training and learn cultural knowledge. It was as if they had become a military academy.
Zhang Chaoqun would also take time to give lectures every day to instill more advanced tactical concepts in them.
One had to know that Zhang Chaoqun was the king of the special forces. Coupled with his advanced experience in the future, his lessons had already subtly conquered many soldiers.
