The gunshot was the signal. After seeing Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming open fire, Chen Weidong and Lin Xiong, who were standing on the other side, also pulled out their shell guns and fired at the traitors in the room. Li Yunlong and Monk Wei were not willing to fall behind. They opened fire at the same time with twelve shell guns. The dense net of fire formed by the crossfire was like an iron broom, sweeping away the traitors in the room.
Tonight, those who came to Xianghe Restaurant to attend Takada Ichiro's birthday banquet were all leaders of the Japanese troops in Heyuan County. More than 40 officials had been wiped out at the same time. Without the command of the senior officer, the troops were like a pile of loose sand. Although the Japanese troops at the city gate and the patrol team heard the gunshots, they did not know what had happened.
Inside the house, Chen Weidong looked at the dead Japanese and traitors. He put away his gun and walked to Li Yunlong with a smile."Regiment commander, we've really taken advantage of this time. Every leader of the traitors in Heyuan County has been wiped out by us.”
Li Yunlong chuckled and punched Chen Weidong's chest. He grinned and said,""Good boy, you did well. When I return to the regiment headquarters, I will give you a credit.”
Chu Yunfei also came over and said with envy,"Brother Yun Long, you really have a lot of talents under you. Not only do you have two powerful generals, but you also have a commander with both wisdom and courage.”
Then, Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Weidong and said,""Little brother, what's your name? What's your current position in Brother Yun Long's army? Just now, you used Japanese to babble at Takada, but I didn't understand a single word, haha!”
Chen Weidong saluted Chu Yunfei and replied loudly,""Reporting to Regiment Commander Chu, I am Chen Weidong, platoon leader of First Platoon, Third Company, First Battalion of the Independent Regiment.”
"Mm, not bad, not bad. Brother Xiao Chen is so young, but he has such extraordinary courage and strategy. This Chu really admires him!”
Chu Yunfei nodded in satisfaction and changed the topic,"
"However, with Brother Chen's abilities, it's a waste of your talent to be a mere platoon leader. Brother Chen, are you interested in joining my 358th Regiment? The position of the battalion commander of my 1st Battalion is vacant. Anyway, we're all fighting the Japanese. It doesn't matter which unit we fight in.”
After a pause, he continued," I have an artillery battalion under me. They are all large-caliber howitzers, a heavy machine gun battalion equipped with Maxim weapons, and a cavalry battalion with strong soldiers and sufficient food. As long as you come, in the future battles with the Japanese, whether it is weapons, equipment, artillery support, or logistics, you will be guaranteed. You just need to focus on killing the Japanese on the battlefield.”
As for Chen Weidong, Chu Yunfei liked him from the bottom of his heart. He was a military talent with courage, courage, and wisdom. Even the high-ranking commander liked him.
Most importantly, Chen Weidong looked young and must have entered the eighth grade. Team Lu hadn't been here for long, so he probably wasn't that firm in his thinking. He was a target that could be fought over.
That was why Chu Yunfei had said those words to Chen Weidong just now. He had shown off his wealth in front of Chen Weidong without any reservation and promised him a high position and a generous salary. He wanted to recruit this brave general.
However, his words made Li Yunlong unhappy!
He had always been a person who only took advantage of others and never suffered losses. He, Li Yunlong, had always been the only one who poached others. How could he allow others to poach him in front of him?
Li Yundong was unhappy and his tone became strange. He said to Chu Yunfei,"Brother Chu, to think that I, Old Li, have always treated you as a brother. But, brother, is what you've done human? Poaching my wall in front of me, aren't you afraid that the wall will fall and hit your feet?”
As he spoke, Li Yunlong took a sip of wine to moisten his throat and continued,""Our Old Li's Independent Regiment can't be compared to Brother Chu's Regiment 358. Since you're the student of the chairman and also Officer Yan's student, you can bask in the light there.”
"Our Old Li is from a humble background. Our Eighth Route Army doesn't have any government support. We don't have the artillery battalion, heavy machine gun battalion, and cavalry battalion that Brother Chu mentioned, but the Japanese have them. If we don't have the ammunition and food, we can snatch them from the Japanese. So, what you said, our Old Li will snatch them from the Japanese sooner or later, hehe!”
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Chu Yunfei was speechless. He could only laugh a few times to resolve the awkwardness and said,""Brother Yunlong, I have no intention of poaching you. You and I are both soldiers, and we should serve our country on the battlefield. I just think that if Brother Chen Weidong joins my army, his potential will be more stimulated, and he will be able to drive away the Japanese invaders as soon as possible and realize the independence and freedom of our nation. That's all!”
Pausing for a while, Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Weidong and suggested,""Brother Yunlong, how about we listen to Brother Chen Weidong's opinion?”
After saying that, Chu Yunfei, his adjutant Sun Ming, Li Yunlong, Monk Wei, and Lin Xiong all looked at Chen Weidong, waiting for his answer.
Chen Weidong looked at Chu Yunfei, then at Li Yunlong, and said firmly,""Thank you, Regiment Commander Chu, for your favor. I, Chen Weidong, am the 4971st soldier of the Independent Regiment.”
Then, Chen Weidong saluted Chu Yunfei and stood behind Li Yunlong quietly.
Monk Wei and Lin Xiong secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Chu Yunfei's face revealed a disappointed expression as he said regretfully,""Chen Weidong, is this your answer?”
Chen Weidong nodded vigorously.
Then, Chu Yunfei smiled helplessly, took out a beautifully crafted Browning pistol, and handed it to Chen Weidong, saying,""Chen Weidong, this is a Browning pistol produced by the French National Company in belgium. It came in a pair when it left the factory. In ancient times, a sword was given to a hero. Today, I want to give you this female pistol as a souvenir!”
Chen Weidong turned to look at Li Yunlong. The latter nodded, indicating that he could keep the gun, but he couldn't fly away with Chu Yunfei.
Chen Weidong smiled." I appreciate Regiment Commander Chu's kindness, but I can't take this gun. How can a man use a female gun? It'll be a joke if word gets out."”
Chu Yunfei was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily and said,""Hahaha, Brother Weidong is also a man of character. How about this? I'll give you this male one. I hope you can kill more Japanese on the battlefield in the future!”
Then, Chu Yunfei handed the other Browning to Chen Weidong.
This time, Chen Weidong didn't refuse. He took the gun and thanked Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei also cupped his fists at Chen Weidong, Li Yunlong and the others and said,""Brother Yunlong, Brother Weidong, take care.”
"See you again!"
Chen Weidong and the others also said to Chu Yunfei.
After Chu Yunfei left, Li Yunlong grinned and punched Chen Weidong twice, saying,""You did well, kid. Our Old Li didn't make a mistake, haha!”
Chen Weidong also smiled." Regiment Commander, I have an idea. The Japanese in Heyuan County are in chaos now. Why don't we take advantage of the chaos?"
