A few days later, news came from the special combat team members who went to Xin'an County to reconnoiter that the Ozawa Brigade of the 20th Division of the Army had been stationed in Xin'an County.

There are more than 1,200 personnel in the Ozawa Brigade, and the captain Ozawa Taro Nakasa, 36 years old, graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, and was one of the first soldiers to go to China to fight, joined the Kwantung Army in 1931, and was transferred from the Kwantung Army to the 20th Division of the North China Front Army on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

Zhang Yunfei scoffed at the news from the special combat team, saying that the army was only a brigade, and he really didn't pay much attention to it, since the last big victory, Zhang Yunfei's vision has also been raised, and the opponent's level has been raised to the level of the wing team accordingly.

Ozawa Taro has been in China for a long time, and he can be regarded as a half-China expert, and he especially likes the Chinese Art of War, and knows the truth that he knows that he is invincible in a hundred battles, and after entering Xin'an County, he did not immediately send troops out to sweep, but sent several waves of soldiers to disguise themselves as Chinese civilians to go out to inquire about the news of the nearby Eighth Route Army.

According to the news that came back one after another, the main force of the nearby Eighth Route Army was the 3rd Battalion of the 717th Regiment of the 359th Brigade, but this 3rd Battalion was different from other Eighth Route Army, and the other Eighth Route Army were all dressed in tatters, and some even wore ordinary people's clothes with big knives and spears, but the soldiers of the Third Battalion were all wearing relatively new cotton clothes and cotton pants, all of them were armed and equipped, and the number of people was also a reinforced battalion, and the combat effectiveness should not be low.

Taro Ozawa wisely chose to stay put, strengthen his vigilance, and wait for the opportunity......

There was a jubilant atmosphere at the regimental headquarters of the Reading Force, because today, the regiment commander gave everyone an unprecedented amount of ocean, not only two oceans for each soldier, but also 500 oceans for each battalion alone, and got a heavy, white ocean, and the battalion commanders were all smiling.

Because it will be the Lunar New Year in a few days, Zhang Yunfei, who has just been promoted to the regiment commander, saw that he had won a few battles some time ago, and the regiment headquarters had a little money, and the soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and they didn't have two dollars in their pockets. So Zhang Yunfei thought of giving money to everyone.

As soon as I got the money and left the regiment headquarters, several battalion commanders chatted.

The second battalion commander Chen Erwa smiled and said to the first battalion commander Wang Haiyang: "First company commander, how are you going to spend these 500 oceans?" ”

Wang Haiyang, the commander of the first battalion, said: "I am going to use it all to buy big fish and meat, on the day of the New Year, each class will steam a big grass carp, stew a large pot of meat, and then make a few roast chickens, so that the soldiers can eat as much as they can, and they can eat openly." ”

After listening to the words of the first battalion commander Wang Haiyang, the second company commander and the third company commander swallowed their saliva and said: "We are also similar to what you think." ”

Goudan is a recruit who has just joined the army for less than a month, and he is still training in the recruit company, and today the company commander is holding a large plate of white flowers, saying that it was sent by the regiment commander to everyone, two yuan per person.

Hearing the words of the company commander, the dog really didn't believe it, since he became the Eighth Road, he no longer had to be hungry and full, he could eat enough every time, although the training was hard in peacetime, but the regiment commander said that he sweated more in peacetime and bled less in wartime, and he didn't feel how hard he was.

Today I got two oceans, I took them in my hands and looked at them, and I smirked while looking at them, and I hid them for a long time, and I took them back to my hometown, and I also had a teenage brother and seven or eight-year-old sister in my hometown, with these two oceans, how could I make new clothes for my younger brothers and sisters.

Seeing that the battalion commanders led the ocean and went happily, Zhang Yunfei said to the political commissar Fang Zheng: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, many people in this neighborhood are living very hard, and some are about to be unable to open the pot, we also have to send some food to the people, so that they can also have a good New Year." ”

Political Commissar Fang Zheng was also very worried: "Yes, although after our troops were stationed here, the soldiers usually helped the people carry water, chop wood, repair houses, etc., but the people are still very bitter." ”

Zhang Yunfei said: "In this way, if you can't open the pot at home in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, you can send 20 catties of grain and a catty of pork to each household." ”

Political Commissar Fang Zheng agreed: "I think it's okay." ”

What Zhang Yunfei didn't expect was that although it was an insignificant amount of food, the people nearby saw that the Eighth Route Army was so close to the people, and the people supported the Eighth Route Army even more, and the mass foundation of the Eighth Route Army was more solid.

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this was the first Spring Festival that Zhang Yunfei came to this era, and on this day, regardless of whether the soldiers or the chiefs, everyone gathered together and drank and talked happily.

Today, Zhang Yunfei asked the cooking class to prepare a sumptuous meal, there was wine and meat on the table, the wine was the best Fenjiu, the meat dishes had a large pot of stew, the whole roast chicken, the whole grass carp, and the soldiers ate with greasy mouths.

Seeing the soldiers eating so happily, the political commissar was very emotional, a few months ago, the soldiers were not full of food and clothing, but now, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Political Commissar Fang Zheng picked up his wine glass, respectfully walked up to Zhang Yunfei and said: "Regiment Commander, I respect you for this cup on behalf of the soldiers, and thank you for leading everyone to live a good life." After speaking, the political commissar Fang Zheng drained the full glass of liquor in one gulp.

In the following, the battalion commanders, company commanders, and platoon commanders took turns to toast, and even some soldiers came to toast.

When I woke up, it was late at night, and there was a crackling firecracker sound outside, although there were no beautiful fireworks in later generations, but it was also lively, listening to the sound outside, lying on the bed, Zhang Yunfei seemed to be back in modern times.

A few days after the New Year, in order to raise everyone's enthusiasm for military training and to test the results of their training in the past few months, Zhang Yunfei held a regiment-wide military competition, which was divided into veteran groups and recruit groups, including shooting, fighting, climbing, physical fitness, and other items.

The top three winners in each project will be awarded 50 oceans, the second place will be awarded 30 oceans, and the third place will be awarded 20 oceans. Although the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army usually do not have very high material requirements, but the stimulation of money is also a good means, when Zhang Yunfei put the white ocean on the podium, the enthusiasm of the soldiers below was instantly ignited, everyone looked at the big ocean with red eyes, and the game went all out.

In this competition, some good seedlings were really found, these people were recruited by Zhang Yunfei into the special combat team, and the special combat team immediately surged from 12 people to more than 30 people, and a soldier named Guo Wencheng, who had performed well in the previous few standing battles, was appointed as the captain.

Guo Wencheng once studied at the Baoding Military Academy, participated in [***], served as a platoon commander, in the early days of the Xinkou Battle of the Anti-Japanese War, was saved by Zhang Yunfei, under the persuasion of Zhang Yunfei, participated in the Eighth Road, all the way, followed Zhang Yunfei to the current Taihang Mountain.

After the five-day competition, Zhang Yunfei disrupted the special combat team and conducted military training in the way of veterans leading recruits.

In order to explain the origin of the mental method, he had to say that he had saved an old beggar when he was a child, and the old beggar taught him in order to repay his kindness.

When teaching the mental method, Zhang Yunfei strictly ordered everyone to spread it privately and keep it strictly confidential, otherwise the military law would be engaged. In the past few months, Zhang Yunfei's prestige has been rising higher and higher, everyone is obedient to Zhang Yunfei's words, and I believe that there will be no incident of the spread of the mental method, that is, in case the mental method is spread, it is only the first layer of the mental method, you must know that the whole set of nameless mental methods has a total of six layers, all of which are only deeply hidden in Zhang Yunfei's mind, and the special combat team members have not broken through the first layer, and they will not teach the second layer of mental methods.

At present, Zhang Yunfei's mental method has only just broken through the first layer, and has just entered the second layer, and he was also at this level before crossing, in this era, it may be that the air quality is better than that era of industrialization, or it may be based on the experience of cultivation, every time he cultivates, he gets twice the result with half the effort, and in just a few months, he can catch up with the cultivation effect of the previous years.

After entering the second layer, Zhang Yunfei has undergone a great change, first of all, his senses are more agile than before, a little sound dozens of meters away can be easily captured, and a small target a few hundred meters away can also be seen clearly, and secondly, his agility and strength have been greatly improved, he has tried a few times with a quick punch, and he can make the sound of air explosion.

According to their own cultivation experience, after teaching everyone the mental method, after 5 or 6 months, everyone will break through the first layer and enter the second layer one after another, and then the combat effectiveness of the special combat team members will get a terrifying improvement, and it is also possible to fight one enemy and one hundred, and every team member is a veritable king of soldiers.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Yunfei suddenly had an urge to go to the county seat to see, and he has been staying here at the foot of Taihang Mountain for several months, and he has not been to the county seat to see it.
