Chapter 179: The credit belongs to Master Yu? (Fourth update!)

"Yu Xiaoqing fainted?" Zhang Ruzhi was shocked when he received the news.

"Yes, many people saw it. Yu Xiaoqing was so angry that he vomited blood." Li Jiu said excitedly.

"What's going on? Why did you vomit blood out of anger?" Zhang Ruzhi asked in confusion.

"What else could it be? Didn't he send two regiments to attack Nantianmen? In the end, only two hundred people came back." Li Jiu explained.

"Oh? Not bad, two hundred people are back. I thought the whole army was wiped out. Nantianmen is not so easy to take." Zhang Ruzhi even felt that it was good that more than two hundred people were able to come back.

Who knows Li Jiu shook his head and said.

"No, Nantianmen was taken, but it was not taken by Yu Xiaoqing's troops, but by the Sichuan Army."

"What? Sichuan Army? They have arrived at Nantianmen?" Zhang Ruzhi was so shocked that he sat up immediately.

"Could it be that Cun Yunsheng is leading the team personally?"

"Yes, it was he who led the team personally, and it took only one day to capture Nan Tianmen. I don't know what means they used, but they easily captured Nan Tianmen which was hollowed out of the mountain." Li Jiu was also surprised after he finished speaking.

When he heard what the soldiers said, he thought he was dreaming.

The Sichuan Army is really powerful.

The problem that Master Yu was unable to solve was unexpectedly solved so easily by the Sichuan Army.

The gap between the two sides has become so huge.

"No wonder he came in person. The Japanese colonel stationed in Nantianmen has an irreconcilable blood feud with Cun Yunsheng." After listening to this, Zhang Ruzhi slowly sat down and then nodded and said.

"Wait, what does that have to do with Yu Xiaoqing vomiting blood?" Zhang Ruzhi asked again in confusion.

"Don't worry, listen to me. The Sichuan Army showed up and saved two of Yu Xiaoqing's regiments. Then most of the people in those two regiments defected to the Sichuan Army, and only two hundred people came back."

"Not only that, the commander who led the team to surrender also called Yu Xiaoqing a son of a bitch, saying that he was untrustworthy and did not keep his word. He also promised to provide artillery support, but in the end, there was no support."

"He also killed hundreds of people. The brothers in Nantianmen will never forgive him." Li Jiu spread his hands and said helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi was shocked. He didn't expect that Yu Xiaoqing's confidant would actually start cursing.

This was indeed something he had not expected.

"So that's how it is. So that's how it is. I was wondering why Yu Xiaoqing vomited blood for no reason. No one can stand this. His own confidant actually openly insulted him and ran away with his elite subordinates." Zhang Ruzhi said with a long sigh.

He really didn't expect that this would happen.

"Commander, what should we do now?" Li Jiu asked.

"What should we do? It has nothing to do with us." Zhang Ruzhi didn't understand what Li Jiu meant and asked in confusion.

"Commander, now that Nantianmen has been taken down, a little operation will definitely be a great achievement." Li Jiu looked at Zhang Ruzhi with some disappointment.

Why is this guy's brain so slow to react?

"What do you mean? Wasn't it taken by the Sichuan Army?" Zhang Ruzhi still didn't understand what he meant.

"Sir, Nan Tianmen was indeed taken by the Sichuan Army, but with a little more effort, it could have been taken by us, or even by Division Yu," Li Jiu said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi was stunned, then fell into deep thought and found that it was really possible.

He is now a lieutenant colonel, and if he wants to be promoted to colonel, he needs some more merits.

The original plan was to arrest a few students, torture them into confessions, and create some ironclad cases.

But that would be completely untenable.

Many people would just look at him with contempt.

After all, forcing a confession under torture is the lowest form of tactics.

But if it is a contribution like that of Nan Tianmen, then it is different. The promotion is legitimate and no one can say no.

How to operate it is very important.

"Do you mean that the Sichuan Army should give this credit to Master Yu?" Zhang Ruzhi asked doubtfully.

"Yes, anyway, Master Yu also sent two regiments to attack Nantianmen. Now only more than 200 people have returned. The rest are considered dead. As for the Sichuan Army, they only helped with the flank attack. They have some credit, but it is not that important."

"After all, the higher-ups don't want the Sichuan Army to make any more contributions. We just need to use the Spring and Autumn style of writing to attribute the first achievement to Master Yu. Wouldn't our military control also be considered to have made contributions?"

"After all, we can report to our superiors that we have collected a lot of intelligence during this attack." Li Jiu's words made Zhang Ruzhi's eyes light up.

Yes!

Master Yu did send people to attack. As long as the priority of the merits is determined correctly, he can use this merit to be promoted to the next level.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruzhi's heart suddenly became extremely hot.

"Good, good, this plan is indeed good." Zhang Ruzhi paced back and forth excitedly.

"But how can we get the Sichuan Army to agree?"

This is where the difficulty lies.

"Then you will need to cross the river in person and negotiate with the other party. As long as the other party agrees to our conditions, when you are promoted, won't we be able to give them more in return?" Li Jiu's words completely moved him.

Yes!

When he is promoted to deputy station chief of Kunming Station, he will be able to mobilize more resources and get more in return.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruzhi gritted his teeth and said immediately.

"Okay, I'll cross the river and meet Cun Yunsheng."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Li Jiu responded quickly.

…………

On the other side, Cun Yunsheng looked at the roster that had just been registered and couldn't help but sigh.

More than 1,500 veterans, this is definitely a valuable asset.

With this group of people, his expansion plan can continue to be implemented.

Stilwell promised his task force that they could begin preparations.

It seems like a lot, but in fact the proportion of combat casualties during this period was also very high.

After replenishing the losses of each battalion, the remaining amount would only be enough to expand one or two infantry battalions.

All in all, he had ten infantry battalions.

This is a considerable force, and I believe that my voice in Stilwell's opinion has become more important.

The only thing that worried him was logistical supplies.

Supplying so much material is no small matter.

In other words, he will have to worry about logistical supplies next.

"Zhang Lixian, send these people to Lashio for reorganization first. As for the military pay, it will be reissued immediately once we arrive in Lashio. If anyone wants to mail it home, they can tell me in advance and I will have someone send it back to them." Cun Yunsheng spoke again after reading the roster.

"Yes, Commander." Zhang Lixian stood at attention and saluted.

At this time, Meng Fanle walked in, looking a little embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly and said.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all family." "No, it's not that. People were sent from across the river." Meng Fanle shook his head and said.

"Is it someone sent by Yu Xiaoqing?" Cun Yunsheng was not at all surprised that Yu Xiaoqing wanted to send someone.

When Zhang Lixian heard this, he looked a little embarrassed.

"No, they are from the Military Control Commission. They said they have something important to discuss with you." Meng Fanle shook his head and said.

"Military Control Commission? What is there to discuss with them? Isn't Milong in charge of the business side?" Cun Yunsheng thought that the people from the Military Control Commission were here to do business again, so he said with some displeasure.

"No, he said it was something very important that concerns future cooperation." Meng Fanle explained quickly.

"Okay, since we have nothing to do now, let them in. Zhang Lixian, you go back first and bring everyone back." Cun Yunsheng nodded, then said to Zhang Lixian.

"Yes, Commander." Zhang Lixian nodded and walked out of the temporary command center, only to see Zhang Ruzhi and Li Jiu.

"Captain Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that you have made many military achievements in the Sichuan Army." Li Jiu took the initiative to greet Zhang Lixian when he saw him.

Zhang Lixian still had a little good impression of this person, so he smiled.

"It's OK. Thanks to you, without you, there wouldn't be me today."

Hearing this, Li Jiu smiled even more.

After a brief greeting, Zhang Ruzhi took Li Jiu into the temporary command post of the Sichuan Army.

When he saw Cun Yunsheng, even though Zhang Ruzhi was prepared, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He was really too young.

"Captain Cun, you are really young and promising." Zhang Ruzhi said with emotion.

As a result, Cun Yunsheng smiled and said.

"Director Zhang, you are too polite. I wonder what you are doing across the river this time? If you want business, you can find Milong. If it's weapons, I'm afraid we can't increase the supply during this period."

"Because of the Imphal incident, the speed of U.S. military aid has slowed down a lot, and I still have a big gap in weapons."

In fact, what he lacks now is American equipment, but he has no shortage of Japanese equipment.

Unfortunately, after the introduction of American equipment, no one was interested in these Japanese equipment anymore.

But if you really want to sell it, you can still get a lot of money.

After all, there are still many sponsors who lack weapons.

"No, no, no, we came here mainly for another matter." Zhang Ruzhi shook his head quickly.

Now Cun Yunsheng became even more curious about what could have happened that could make a lieutenant colonel of the Military Control Commission cross the river in person.

As a result, after hearing the other party's plan, Cun Yunsheng fell silent.

Even Meng Fanle who was standing next to him was stunned.

Finally, the two men looked at each other and could only sigh that the people from the Military Control Commission were extremely courageous.

It was clearly them who captured the Nan Tianmen, but the topic suddenly changed and it became that Master Yu took the main attack. After suffering heavy losses, they managed to capture the Nan Tianmen just when the reinforcements arrived.

The Military Control Commission provided a lot of intelligence support for this operation.

I have to say, the person who came up with this idea is really a talented person.

But one thing has to be admitted, that is, the other party's plan is indeed correct.

Given the nature of those people in Shancheng, if they knew that Nantianmen was taken by the Sichuan Army, they would definitely pretend not to know and would not even report it.

But if it was Master Yu who took it down, it would be different.

It must be various awards!
The Military Control Commission, which provided intelligence support, would naturally be promoted.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but look at the other party.

"There is nothing wrong with the plan, but why should we agree to you? Don't forget that Nantianmen is still in my hands." Cun Yunsheng sneered.

Who knew that Zhang Ruzhi was not panicked at all, but spoke calmly.

"Captain Cun, don't rush to refuse. Once I get promoted, it will be safer for both of us to do business."

"No, I feel quite safe now. Don't forget that there are people behind you." Cun Yunsheng didn't care about the two people's face at all.

"Let's be frank. The credit can be given to you. The Sichuan Army doesn't care about this little credit, but the chips you brought out are still too little."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the other party to agree so readily. He couldn't help but say excitedly.

"I don't know. Whatever Captain Cun wants, just ask. As long as I can do it."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng spoke directly without any hesitation.

"When you become the deputy station chief of Kunming Station, help me get a few people from the Yunnan Army. Find a way to frame them with a crime so that they will come to me obediently. As for how to do it, it's up to you."

"Also, my troops need to be expanded recently, and the Allied Forces have given me a difficult task, so I need to recruit soldiers. You need to facilitate this."

"Forget about the minor fights like before, they are too few."

Zhang Ruzhi nodded as he listened, but he did frown at the last point.

"Captain Cun, you know that veterans are our treasures. Besides, the elite troops of the Yu Division are basically in your hands. The remaining troops, to put it bluntly, are mostly new recruits. Their combat effectiveness is not that good, and you don't think highly of them."

"What's more, after what happened, Yu Xiaoqing might regard you as an enemy. I'm afraid it will be impossible for you to copy the previous method."

Who knew that Cun Yunsheng said it without caring at all.

"Master Yu, forget it. Since you can be promoted, then Yu Xiaoqing can also be promoted. So I need you to change your target. For example, the Fifth Army stationed in Kunming has many elite veterans."

When Zhang Ruzhi heard about the Fifth Army, his scalp went numb, because that was the real direct lineage.

Poking there is like poking a hornet's nest.

Don’t you want to live anymore?

"Director Zhang, don't think about refusing. Risks always bring huge profits. If you don't want to take any risks and just want to make huge profits, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" Cun Yunsheng's words left Zhang Ruzhi speechless.

Yes!

It is impossible to make huge profits without taking any risks.

"Okay, I agree to your request, but I also have a request, which is to expand the scale of transactions." Since the risk is so great, it is only right for me to take more profits.

Cun Yunsheng chuckled when he heard this.

"No problem. The last thing I lack is food."

After the two sides finished the discussion, Zhang Ruzhi and Li Jiu returned immediately as they still needed to make some preparations.

Gotta make this thing look realistic.

At least we have to fool those people living in the mountain city.

Meng Fanle waited until they left and then said with his tongue smacking.

"These people in the Military Control Commission are really bold. They really don't care about anything in order to make money."

"What else? Don't think that the Military Control Commission is so mysterious. They are just like that." Cun Yunsheng sneered and said disdainfully.

　It's the fourth watch! I'm so sleepy! I'm going to sleep! I'm so tired!
