Chapter 339 Chu Yunfei is moved
Late at night,
The lights in Lijiazhuang gradually went out, leaving only a few windows with faint lights occasionally.
After dinner, everyone in the observation group returned to their respective rooms to rest.
They were tired after a day's running around.
In Fu Zuoyi's room, he was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and had not rested yet.
What he saw and heard after entering Lijiazhuang this evening deeply touched him.
The scene inside the independent column's base was completely different from what he had imagined. Everything here seemed so orderly and full of vitality.
He recalled the factories outside Lijiazhuang, the endless fields, and the happy smiles on the faces of the people, which he had never seen anywhere else.
He was particularly shocked by the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the independent column.
From his observation, all the soldiers of the independent column carried a semi-automatic rifle on their backs, and their waists and belts were bulging, obviously full of bullets.
Another point is that every soldier was equipped with a steel helmet, which was completely different from other Eighth Route Army troops he had seen.
More importantly, he found that every soldier was very strong and there were basically no thin soldiers. This was enough to show that the independent column had very good food, strong logistics, and sufficient supplies.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the Independent Column was a member of the Eighth Route Army. It was no exaggeration to say that even the ace troops in the Central Army were not as good as the Independent Column. He really didn't know how the Independent Column managed to do all this.
Fu Zuoyi turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, looking forward to tomorrow's observation operation. He wanted to know how the independent column did all this.
As he was thinking, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
........
The next day,
It was still dark in the morning and the fog outside was like a thin veil.
However, a sudden wake-up call broke the silence.
The sound of the horn echoed over the village, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the yard.
Thinking that the independent column was conducting morning training, Fu Zuoyi quickly got up, put on his military uniform, and walked out of the room.
He wanted to see the independent column's morning training with his own eyes.
After walking out of the room, he met Chu Yunfei who had the same idea.
Chu Yunfei's eyes were also filled with curiosity about the training that was about to begin. After a while, other Shanxi Suiyuan Army officers also walked out of the room one after another.
Fu Zuoyi looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Everyone, now that everyone is up, let's go and watch the Eighth Route Army's morning training." After that, he led everyone to the training ground.
After arriving at the training ground, Fu Zuoyi saw Gaoda, who was standing in a corner of the training ground, watching the soldiers training.
Fu Zuoyi stepped forward and greeted him, "Good morning, Commander Gao."
Gaoda turned around and said, "General Fu, good morning. You guys got up early too."
"That's still not as early as your Eighth Route Army. Do you get up so early every day for training?" Fu Zuoyi said as he looked at the soldiers who were training on the training ground.
Gundam nodded, "Yes, except for rainy days and combat missions, we have to do morning training and physical training every day."
Fu Zuoyi nodded in agreement after hearing this. He agreed with this point very much. The most important thing for soldiers on the battlefield is physical fitness. He knew that good physical fitness is the basis for soldiers to survive and fight.
After Gaoda took Fu Zuoyi and others to watch the training ground for a while, he took them to the cafeteria for breakfast.
In the cafeteria, soldiers were queuing up in an orderly manner to receive breakfast. The breakfast was simple but nutritious, including hot millet porridge, pickles, steamed buns, and fresh eggs.
Fu Zuoyi and the members of the observation group also joined the queue. They had a meal with the soldiers of the Independent Column. This cordial communication gave them a deeper understanding of the Independent Column.
After breakfast, Fu Zuoyi said to Gao Da: "Commander Gao, I am impressed by the well-trained and strict discipline of the soldiers of the independent column."
Gaoda smiled and replied: "General Fu, these are what we should do. The quality and discipline of the soldiers are the guarantee of our combat effectiveness."
As the sun rose, the military camp in Lijiazhuang began to become lively.
Gundam led the observation group to start a day's tour. They first came to the barracks of the independent column to watch the soldiers' confrontation training.
In one day, Gaoda took Fu Zuoyi and others to visit almost all the military camps in Lijiazhuang.
They walked through barracks, training grounds, canteens, and even medical stations and logistics warehouses.
Except for the highly confidential area of Wild Wolf Mountain, the Independent Column almost opened its doors to the observation group.
Every time they arrived at a place, everyone in the observation group would exclaim in surprise.
Everything in the independent column felt very unfamiliar to them. The equipment, training methods, and even the mental outlook of the soldiers were very different from the Eighth Route Army they were familiar with. It was more like the German-equipped division of the Central Army.
There were hundreds of cannons they saw in the military camp alone. These cannons were arranged neatly, and their barrels flashed coldly in the sun.
Among them are a large number of large-caliber heavy artillery. These heavy weapons, which are regarded as treasures in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, are displayed here like ordinary equipment.
That proves that the independent column definitely has more than just these cannons, and there must be even more heavy artillery.
Fu Zuoyi looked at these cannons, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He turned to Gao Da and said, "Commander Gao, the firepower of your independent column is really strong. These cannons are treasures in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. It is surprising that you would display them so publicly."
Gaoda smiled and replied: "General Fu, these are only part of the equipment of our independent column. Our goal is to build a powerful army that can adapt to various battlefield environments."
While leading the observation group on a tour, Gaoda cleverly found an opportunity and sneaked up on Chu Yunfei.
He knew that Chu Yunfei was not only a leader in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but also a general with great ambitions and military talents.
Gaoda hopes to persuade Chu Yunfei to join the independent column.
Seeing that Gaoda took the initiative to communicate with him, Chu Yunfei was also willing to chat with Gaoda.
The two of them talked in low voices amid the noisy training sounds.
Gundam whispered to Chu Yunfei about the current independent column, including their tactical concepts, equipment configuration and future development plans.
Chu Yunfei was shocked after hearing this. He did not expect the independent column to be so powerful.
A complex light flashed in his eyes. It was no exaggeration to say that the independent column was now capable of defeating the entire Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Commander Gao, the strength of your independent column is beyond my imagination."
At the end, Gaoda extended an olive branch to Chu Yunfei and solemnly invited Chu Yunfei to join the independent column.
"Captain Chu, I sincerely invite you to join our independent column. I believe that your talents will be better utilized here."
Chu Yunfei was completely stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Gaoda would want to recruit him, even though he was a general of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
He refused on the spot, but Gaoda was not discouraged and continued to show his sincerity to Chu Yunfei: "Captain Chu, I understand your concerns, but I hope you can seriously consider it.
Our independent column needs talents like you, and I believe that you can realize your ambitions here."
After a day of visiting, the members of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army observation group gained a lot. What they saw and heard about the Independent Column opened a new door for them.
Fu Zuoyi was very emotional. He knew that the Independent Column’s achievements today were inseparable from its brave soldiers and extremely strong logistics, all of which were difficult to replicate.
After a day of output from Gundam, Chu Yunfei was moved.
Gundam promised to let him command a mechanized unit, and when he heard the personnel and configuration of the mechanized unit, he admitted that he was tempted.
