Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 627: My independent regiment is not strong enough to defend Ping'an County, and we urge

Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua acted very quickly. After discovering that something was wrong, they immediately mobilized their troops to quickly retreat to Ping'an County, and successfully escaped before the Japanese encirclement closed in. Kong Jie and Ding Wei also acted very quickly, but they were still caught by the Japanese. Fortunately, with the cover of the Air Force Regiment, they successfully retreated to Xiaozhang Village and Zhang Village, and the iron triangle that supported each other was formed.

"College student, thank you very much for your help. The main force of our Jinsui Army has successfully withdrawn to the county seat of Guxian and is currently confronting the Japanese outside the county seat. During this retreat, our Jinsui Army lost a total of one division of troops. This loss is completely within an acceptable range. Excluding the two divisions lost before and after, the total strength of our Jinsui Army's counterattack is still 100,000, which is enough to cope with the current situation!" Chu Yunfei said gratefully with a look of fear on his face.

Lin Zhenhua also felt that this retreat was very dangerous. If he acted a little later, he would be surrounded by the Japanese, and he would have to pay a heavy price to break out. This made him very grateful to Chu Yunfei. If Chu Yunfei had not reminded him in time, he might have realized it too late and would not have been able to see through the Japanese conspiracy in advance and escape successfully.

"Captain Chu, this is a win-win cooperation for both of us. If you hadn't discovered the enemy's weakness and reminded me and Li Yunlong in time, we might have been surrounded by the enemy without knowing it!"

Chu Yunfei replied with a worried look on his face: "College student, you can't say that. My 358th Regiment is with you. If you can't run away, then I can't run away either. Let's not thank each other. The most important thing now is to deploy defenses and prepare for the attack of the Japanese army!"

After deploying the defense of Ping'an County, Li Yunlong came to the two men, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got straight to the point.

"Brother Yunfei, your 358th Regiment cannot stay out of this time. With the 5000 troops in my hands, we can't stop the heavy attack of the Japanese. I need the 358th Regiment to give me the greatest help. I hope Brother Yunfei will not refuse this." Li Yunlong said directly.

After learning that Li Yunlong had dispersed the armored regiment to defend the city, Chu Yunfei had anticipated this and solemnly assured, "Brother Yunlong, I still say what I said before. No matter who fights the devils, my 358th Regiment will help. In order to facilitate coordination and command, I suggest setting up a joint combat command of the independent regiment and the 358th Regiment to command the combat operations against the devils."

"There is no need for us to elect a commander-in-chief. If there are different opinions, we can just discuss them directly. Our goal is to defend Ping'an County at all costs and preserve the fruits of our victory."

Seeing Chu Yunfei's deep understanding of the righteousness, Li Yunlong and Lin Zhenhua breathed a sigh of relief, and their worries were half relieved. The three of them began to discuss defense, and finally ceded two city gates to the 358th Regiment for defense. This matter was successfully concluded.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Lin Zhenhua remembered that in the plot, Chu Yunfei was stabbed in the back by his own men. He knew how great the inertia of the plot was. Zhu Ziming's betrayal was a clear proof of this. He wanted to remind Chu Yunfei, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. The main reason was that he did not have any evidence in his hands. If he directly said that the general under Chu Yunfei was a traitor, no matter how stupid Chu Yunfei was, he would not believe his one-sided words and do something like giving up his martial arts.

Li Yunlong saw that Lin Zhenhua was hesitant to speak. After waiting for Chu Yunfei to leave, he asked cautiously in a low voice: "College student, are you hiding something from me? Just now, when I saw you hesitate to speak, I knew that you must have discovered something wrong. The matter is related to Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. If I am not mistaken, is there a traitor under Chu Yunfei's command?"

Lin Zhenhua didn't expect Li Yunlong to guess so accurately. He looked around cautiously and confirmed that there was no one nearby before whispering, "Old Li, you are like a worm in my stomach. Your guess is very accurate! I suspect Qian Bojun, the commander of the Fourth Battalion under Chu Yunfei, is a traitor, but I don't have any evidence. This is just my intuition, just like Zhu Ziming before. My intuition told me that Zhu Ziming was a traitor, but no one believed it at the time. They always thought I was too suspicious."

"But the facts have proved that my suspicion was not unnecessary. Zhu Ziming is indeed a traitor. I have the same feeling this time. If Qian Bojun is not arrested in advance, Ping'an County may not be able to be defended. I am not exaggerating. When I arranged the 358th Regiment to guard the two city gates just now, I was worried. Once the Japanese and Qian Bojun's troops work together, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"I wanted to talk about this just now, but at the last moment before I opened my mouth, I realized that it would be inappropriate to say it now, and it would easily destroy the harmonious cooperation between the two parties. This put me in a dilemma for a while, and I didn't know how to deal with it. Even if you didn't ask me today, I would talk to you about this privately. If I don't solve the hidden danger of Qian Bojun, I won't be able to sleep well at night!"

Li Yunlong believed that Lin Zhenhua would never do something without a purpose, but he, who had a preliminary understanding of the 358th Regiment, knew very well that Qian Bojun had followed Chu Yunfei for a long time and was Chu Yunfei's confidant. It was hard for people to believe that they were now running to Chu Yunfei and saying that his confidant was a traitor, and it would cause misunderstandings between the two sides. This matter was indeed difficult to handle, and it really made Li Yunlong scratch his head.

"College student, this matter is indeed difficult to resolve, but this hidden danger must be eliminated. I will go drink with Chu Yunfei tonight and give him a heads-up secretly to see his attitude first."

Lin Zhenhua felt that Li Yunlong's method was better. He also didn't want to fall out with Chu Yunfei because of Qian Bojun. The close cooperative relationship between the two parties was very beneficial to the situation of both parties. At this time, they should not be suspicious of each other, but should stick together for warmth, otherwise they would be easily defeated by the Japanese.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when it was almost time for dinner, Li Yunlong came to Chu Yunfei's residence with six bottles of sake seized from the devils in Ping'an County. It is not advisable to hit a smiling person, not to mention that the two of them are very sympathetic to each other. Chu Yunfei immediately had a table of food prepared and started chatting with Li Yunlong.

After chatting for an hour, Li Yunlong felt that it was enough and was ready to get to the point. He pretended to be casual and said, "Brother Yunfei, you don't know how miserable my life was before. One of my subordinates who had followed me for several years actually defected to the devil and became a traitor. Even my fiancée was captured by the damn Yamamoto special forces, and the one who led the way was this damn traitor."

"Brother, I dream of killing this traitor, but this bastard is also very smart, and several assassination attempts have failed. This has become a pain in my heart, and I have to turn a blind eye to it when I sleep at night!"

Chu Yunfei was about to persuade Li Yunlong. He had heard about this matter, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. Li Yunlong was a man who would not do anything without profit. He was very unreliable when he boasted on weekdays. But now he pretended to be drunk and said some drunken words. I'm afraid he meant something. Could it be that there was a traitor among his men?

Thinking of the previous leak, Chu Yunfei was certain that there was definitely a traitor under his command, and this person held a high position, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to obtain such accurate intelligence.

Just as he was about to ask who it was, Chu Yunfei swallowed the words back. This matter really couldn't be made public. If Li Yunlong had evidence, he would have already brought it out instead of using the deliberate probing method. Perhaps the truth of the matter was that Li Yunlong was not sure who it was and only had a few suspects.

It has to be said that Chu Yunfei's guess was very close to the truth, but because he was slow to respond to Li Yunlong's words, Li Yunlong made a misjudgment and the two sides almost had a huge misunderstanding.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenhua hurried in at this time. He felt that there was no need to let Li Yunlong test him, so he directly told Chu Yunfei by name. Sometimes the more this happened, the more likely it was to cause trouble. Speaking frankly and directly might actually help resolve the matter.

"Captain Chu, what Lao Li said just now is true. The reason why he said so much is to remind you that some of your men have turned traitors and colluded with the devils to deal with us. I know it may be difficult for you to accept it, but what I said is the truth. No matter what you think in your heart at this moment, whether you think we have ulterior motives or deliberately destroy the relationship between the two sides, I can stand here and tell you with a clear conscience that I really have no selfish motives in this matter."

"Your name is the Fourth Battalion Commander Qian Bojun, who is very suspicious. I suspect he has colluded with the devils and has become a traitor. As for evidence, I don't have it. This is just my intuition. Zhu Ziming was exposed before because he told me directly. My intuition has always been very accurate, and I believe this time is no exception. Whether you believe it or not, Captain Chu, I hope you can listen to my advice and strengthen the vigilance against the Fourth Battalion."

Before Lin Zhenhua could finish his words, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong rushed in and reported anxiously, "Captain Chu, something terrible has happened. Qian Bojun's Fourth Battalion has not entered the city and may have met with an accident. I have sent a signalman to contact them, but after two hours, there has been no contact. I am afraid that the Fourth Battalion is in danger!"
