"At this time, we can not only destroy the arrogance of the Chinese government, but also give Yan Xishan a warning, and it will not lead to the breakdown of the peace talks. It can even play a role in killing the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army in northwest Shanxi to warn monkeys. It is truly a trick to win three goals."

"Then let Hirata Jun start to instigate Qian Bojun immediately."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "At the same time, he ordered the 2nd Guard Division to prepare for attack. As long as Hirata Jun succeeded in instigating the rebellion, he immediately launched an attack on Chu Yunfei's troops and created opportunities for Qian Bojun's troops to stab Chu Yunfei's troops behind the back."

"Hai." Hanaya Masato and Sakuma Jiro bowed their heads at the same time.

...

In a blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Zheng Qianyi, the owner of Zhengji Trading Company, came to Lijia Town again at the night of the night.

This time when we met Qian Bojun, the two sides got along much more harmoniously.

"Battlefield Commander Qian." Zheng Qian took off his hat and said, "Happy New Year, I wish you a happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Qian Bojun laughed and said, "I wish Boss Zheng to start more industries and make more money in the new year, haha."

"For your blessing."

Zheng Qian smiled and said, "I also wish Battalion Commander Qian to be promoted step by step in the new year."

"Rank by step?" Qian Bojun shook his head and said sneeringly, "I dare not think about rank by step. If you can hold your current position, you will have already burned the incense."

"Why did Battalion Commander Qian say this?"

Zheng Qianyi said, "I heard that your 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will be expanded to the 1st Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army, and Chu Yunfei will be promoted to major general brigade commander, right?"

Qian Bojun said: "Is Boss Zheng very well-informed?"

"Where are there." Zheng Qian waved his hand and said, "If Chu Yunfei is promoted to Major General Brigade Commander, and if the 358th Regiment is expanded to the Independent 1st Brigade of the Jinsui Army, with your qualifications and abilities, it would not be an exaggeration to be a colonel commander, right?"

Qian Bojun's face collapsed and he said in a deep voice: "Boss Zheng, can we not talk about this today?"

Zheng Qian smiled slightly as soon as he heard this. Of course, he knew why Qian Bojun was unhappy, because his words just now touched the pain point in Qian Bojun's heart.

Chu Yunfei is indeed going to be promoted.

The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is indeed about to be expanded.

But this has nothing to do with Qian Bojun.

Because after the expansion, the 1st Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army was under two regiments.

The 358th Regiment now has 4 infantry battalions and 1 mountain artillery battalion, with a total of 5 battalion commanders.

After Chu Yunfei was promoted to brigade commander, there would definitely be two battalion commanders who would be promoted to regiment commander.

Originally, Qian Bojun's qualifications were slightly better than the other four battalion commanders, but due to his poor performance in the Battle of Pig-killing, Chu Yunfei's impression of him was greatly reduced, so there was a suspense in the promotion.

It is said that Chu Yunfei has made suggestions to the chief officer to select the regiment commander through actual combat.

In the future, which battalions perform best, these two battalions will be promoted to regiment commanders on the spot, which made Qian Bojun very angry, and his resentment towards Chu Yunfei reached its peak.

Zheng Qianyi knew this very well, but pretended not to know it.

Zheng Qianyi asked Zhang Fugui again and said, "Director Zhang Ying, what's going on?"

Zhang Fugui glanced at Qian Bojun and saw that Qian Bojun had no intention of stopping him, so he told him about it.

"There is such a thing? Chu Yunfei is too much." Zheng Qian said indignantly after hearing this, "Isn't this a loss for honest people? Can you perform better by changing to a few other battalions in the battle of killing pigs? It may not be."

"Several other battalions?" Zhang Fugui sneered, "If it were to be replaced by the other battalions, it would only be worse."

"Chu Yunfei's approach is really disappointing." Zheng Qian said this and said in a low voice, "Battleman Qian, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Qian Bojun said: "Boss Zheng, please tell me."

Zheng Qian said: "Chu Yunfei knew people without knowing it, and rewards and punishments were unfair. It would be meaningless to follow him. I have a way of the Nanjing government. Commander Qian, do you want to change your life?"

Hearing this, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were not too surprised.

Before, the two of them suspected that Zheng Qian was from the Nanjing government.

The reason is very simple. If it weren't for the Nanjing government, how could it be possible to obtain a Japanese business license? And it could also openly smuggle grain and cloth into the Fuliang Mountains?

Qian Bojun narrowed his eyes and said, "Does Boss Zheng want us brothers to be traitors?"

"Hey, Battalion Commander Qian was wrong." Zheng Qian waved his hand and said, "The Nanjing government is the only legal government. The Chongqing government is just a local government, so switching to the Nanjing government is not a treason. This is called a curved saving the country. Only Chairman Wang's curved saving the country can save China."

Qian Bojun turned his head and looked at Zhang Fugui, saying, "Since Boss Zheng has said this, I might as well tell you the truth and ask us brothers to change their camps. OK, but the Nanjing government must show enough sincerity."

Zheng Qianyi said: "Since that's the case, I might as well tell the truth to Battalion Commander Qian. This time I came here because I was fully entrusted by Hirata Ichiro Hirata, the Heyuan County Military Police Team."

"Full authority?" Qian Bojun said, "Can you make the final decision on Hirata Ichiro?"

"Yes." Zheng Qian nodded, "as long as it is within the scope of permission."

"Okay." Qian Bojun said in a deep voice, "What are the conditions given by Hirata Ichiro?"

Zheng Qianyi said: "Reorganize your unit into the 4th Regiment of the 4th Brigade of the Imperial Army, with Battalion Commander Qian as the colonel commander, and Zhang Ying’s deputy director was promoted to deputy commander."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Qian Bojun laughed loudly when he heard this.

Zhang Fugui also sneered.

Zheng Qian said: "Why does Battalion Commander Qian laugh?"

"Because this condition is really ridiculous." Qian Bojun said coldly, "Our Jinsui Army 358th Regiment is a reinforced regiment, with a total of more than 5,000 people. My 1st Battalion is the first-class main battalion of the 358th Regiment, with two thousand small people, which is more than one regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Although I am a battalion commander, I live the life of a regiment commander."

Zhang Fugui said: "Ichiro Hirata asked us brothers to go to the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army to be the deputy commander of the regiment commander and deputy commander of the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army under the accusation of being a traitor. Isn't that a joke? Do you think we will agree?"

Zheng Qian said: "So what are the conditions for Battalion Commander Qian?"

Qian Bojun said: "At least you have to give a mixed brigade number!"

Zheng Qian said: "This is beyond my authority, I must report to Captain Pingtian."

"No problem." Qian Bojun said, "You can go to Taiyuan to report to Yoshio Iwamatsu. Anyway, we have time, so don't worry, take your time."

...

Taiyuan, 1st Army Command.

Sakuma Jiro said, "Commander, Hirata Jun just called and the instigation of Qian Bojun, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, has been successful."

"Yoxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded happily.

Hanagu asked, "What conditions did Hirata give?"

Sakuma Jiro: "Qian Bojun's troops were reorganized into the 9th Brigade of the Imperial Army."

"Bagayalu." Hua Gu was cursing, "Qian Bojun's troops are only 1,100 people in full, and now there are less than 700 people left. Do you dare to ask for a mixed brigade number?"

"Hey, it's just a number." Yoshio Iwamatsu said.

"Hmm?" Hanagu Masaru said, "Your Commander..."
