Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 100: Shaanxi Army 17th Division Sharp Comments: This Jinsui Army is really cunning, and played the little devils to death! (Please subscribe)
"Is this a trap for the Japanese?"

"This group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops are really insidious. This is enough to give these little Japanese devils a hard time!"

These soldiers of the 17th Division had smiles on their faces.

He peeked at the Japanese soldiers who were being bombed.

"Damn it, they've been bombing us all along, now we're finally letting them get a taste of what it's like to be bombarded by a cannon!"

"Blow these bastards up!"

"Well fried, well fried!"

"See if these little Japs dare to charge. Blow them up, these sons of bitches!"

Chu Yunfei raised the telescope in his hand and looked towards the front line.

His consciousness was once again immersed in the battle map.

These little devils are not simple.

After suffering two losses, he quickly made corresponding adjustments.

They are now.

The artillery positions have been withdrawn a considerable distance.

Currently.

The location of its artillery positions has exceeded the maximum range of the mountain artillery battalion.

The straight-line range of the 105mm howitzer even exceeds 10KM.

Chu Yunfei didn’t even know where these Japanese devils hid their cannons.

The range of the Japanese Type 41 mountain cannon.

Its range is about one kilometer longer than that of the Jin-made mountain cannon equipped by the 358th Brigade's Mountain Artillery Battalion.

Based on previous combat experience.

This group of experienced old devils.

Enough to help their mountain artillery squadrons confirm a vague safe distance.

While ensuring your own safety.

They also attacked the deep positions on the Niangzi Pass front line.

However, the quality of the soldiers in the 30th Artillery Regiment was a problem.

But the 88mm field gun can not only fire indirect fire, but more importantly, it can also fire directly.

Two days' time.

If the performance of the 30th Artillery Regiment is not up to standard.

Chu Yunfei could only put them on the front line.

Using the cover of the gun shield, it was used as an anti-tank gun to deal with Japanese armored vehicles, tanks and other weapons.

"Good fight~!"

The soldier card in the battle map is very intuitive, in the shape of a samurai sword, representing the elite infantry regiment of the Japanese army.

If you zoom in a little, you can see the military badges of the entire 39th Infantry Brigade and the 20th Division.

The green bar next to the badge representing the 78th Infantry Regiment dropped by a quarter.

The previous round of shelling caused very good killing effects.

Not only did it cause a large number of casualties.

It also seems that a lot of the Japanese army’s equipment was destroyed.

The morale of the 78th Regiment of the Japanese Army should have been greatly affected.

They fought well. Naturally, the praise should be given to the Mountain Artillery Battalion and had nothing to do with their 30th Artillery Regiment.

Chu Yunfei turned to look at Ouyang Xianpeng on the side and encouraged him, "Captain Ouyang, go all out. I will personally ask Commander Yan for more shells."

"Yes, Commander Chu, please rest assured!"

Chu Yunfei nodded and took Sun Ming back to the headquarters.

at this time.

A familiar scream was heard from the sky.

This is the sound of artillery shells breaking through the sky.

The Japanese retaliatory bombardment came
A large number of artillery shells hit the main position of the 17th Division.

but.

The soldiers were huddled in the trenches of the second line.

There are very few soldiers on the front line.

After the shelling, there were naturally not many casualties.

Chu Yunfei stood up, brushed off the dust on his uniform, and laughed: "It seems that the explosion hurt these Japanese pigs, otherwise they wouldn't have launched a retaliatory bombardment so quickly."

Looking at these slightly panicked soldiers of the 30th Artillery Regiment.

At this time, Chu Yunfei already had a plan in mind.

"Sun Ming."

"Have!"

Chu Yunfei jumped on his horse and returned to his headquarters: "Let's go, let's go back first."

"Yes!"

at this time.

Shaanxi Army, 17th Division, division headquarters.

When Zhao Shoushan received the report, he was puzzled: "This Chu Yunfei, why is he going crazy in broad daylight? It's fine if he transferred his artillery regiment to the back of my main position to bomb the Japanese, but why did his mountain artillery battalion also get involved..."

"Commander... I heard that the artillery of this artillery regiment... seems to be not very accurate. Could it be that Chu Yunfei wants to practice by fighting?"

"Fighting instead of training?"

Zhao Shoushan was quite puzzled: "This is simply nonsense..."

"What does he want to do? Is he trying to see if the Japanese artillery unit is qualified?"

The chief of staff touched his chin, seeming to be puzzled: "You're right, Commander, since we took over the front line of defense, the Japanese artillery has been like a dud in the past two days..."

"I haven't heard where the Japanese moved their artillery... Will it be blown up by Chu Yunfei and his men?"

"Blow up?"

Zhao Shoushan thought about it carefully and decided that this was possible.

It is estimated that at least half of the Japanese squadron's strength was wiped out in this round of shelling.

Otherwise, the Japanese army would not have launched unprovoked retaliatory bombardment, bullying them because they had no artillery.

As soon as these Japanese soldiers came out of the trenches, they launched a charge.

The shells fell.

This is not just about elite artillery, it also indicates other problems.

"Could it be that the people of the 358th Brigade knew that the Japanese army would launch an attack, so their artillery had already been aimed there?"

"It's not clear." The chief of staff was incredulous. Zhao Shoushan then asked, "Where are their mountain artillery positions?"

"That's not clear." The chief of staff remained silent.

Zhao Shoushan sighed, regarding the commander Chu Yunfei.

They really know too little.

But they thought they had some understanding of Yan Laoxi.

"A deputy brigade commander now commands three regiments (outsiders don't know that there is only one 358th Regiment under the 358th Brigade. In fact, due to the quarrel between Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Laoxi, the 358th Brigade was originally supposed to have the 196th Regiment and a new regimental number. - Chapter -
But Yan Laoxi didn't want to lose the 358th regiment number, and reorganized the temporary 196st regiment that was to be disbanded into the th regiment, but it was not actually under Chu Yunfei's command), and there was also an artillery regiment. What was the origin of this artillery regiment? "

"It's not clear." The chief of staff saw Zhao Shoushan frowning and hurriedly made up for it: "There is a rumor that this unit was originally going to be handed over to the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army, but I don't know why Yan Laoxi suddenly changed his mind."

"The 122nd Sichuan Army Division?"

"Yes, in order to let them defend Yangquan, Yan Laoxi spent a lot of money... He even gave them more than 5,000 sets of cotton clothes, shoes and socks, and thousands of guns and other things."

The Chief of Staff seemed to want to prove that he was well-informed.

"Speaking of which, since yesterday... I discovered that there are many more people in the Jinsui Army that transports supplies for us. The leader seems to be called Qian Zhaoyou, the battalion commander under Chu Yunfei..."

"There is a serious accumulation of supplies at Niangzi Pass and a serious shortage of manpower. I don't know how the commander of the Second War Zone has arranged it!" Zhao Shoushan was a little resentful.

"Commander... When I urged for supplies, Director Li from the theater commander's headquarters just said, let us get them ourselves."

The chief of staff cursed: "Damn, what an attitude!"

Zhao Shoushan asked: "Where is our baggage camp? Have we sent anyone there?"

"I went there. Director Li at Niangzi Pass requested that except for their people who could transport during the day, other troops who wanted to pick up things had to go at night to avoid the Japanese air raids. I estimate that they will be back by tonight."

"This time we can be supplemented with 82 light machine guns, grenades, rounds of mm ammunition... The telegram said there are also four mm mortars."

Zhao Shoushan's frown relaxed a little: "Captain Feng has been worried that Commander Yan would not keep his promise. Now that these things have arrived, there is no need to worry!"

Field artillery position.

After Chu Yunfei left.

Ouyang Xianpeng angrily scolded several artillerymen who were not doing their best: "Didn't you learn everything when I taught you? You shot like this in front of the commander, without hitting a single shot!"

"Watch out, everyone. The field of vision is so wide that even a damn cannon can't hit the target!"

After adjusting the shooting parameters, Ouyang Xianpeng confirmed it again.

"Boom~!"

The shell flew out of the gun and hit hard.

Although it failed to hit the trench directly, the error was obviously much smaller.

"Everyone...adjust the shooting parameters"

"Listen to my command. Each of you should have a cannon."

"Yes, please teach me how to load the shells."

At this time, Ouyang Xianpeng was walking quickly on the artillery position.

Six field guns were enough to make him overwhelmed.

Not to mention the twelve guns firing at the same time
Look at these clumsy recruits.

Ouyang Xianpeng made up his mind.

We must teach them how to set off fireworks in the shortest possible time.
Chu Yunfei doesn't understand the specific artillery operations.

But that did not prevent him from calling Liang Guoping to discuss the possibility of personnel exchange.

A normal mountain artillery team consists of about 10-12 people.

In extreme cases, eight people would be enough.

Chu Yunfei had previously considered the possibility of expansion.

After all, he has eight guns in his battalion.

An artillery regiment under Yan Laoxi's command usually has only twelve guns.

At the same time, we also took into account the Japanese air raids after the war broke out.

And possible situations such as enemy artillery fire coverage.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The mountain artillery battalion under his command is actually far superior to ordinary troops.

Chu Yunfei’s current thought is.

Some elite veterans were transferred from the mountain artillery battalion, and some new recruits were brought in from there.

By doing this, the combat effectiveness of the mountain artillery battalion would be slightly reduced.

But the 30th Artillery Regiment did not perform so badly.

After expressing his thoughts in front of Liang Guoping, the battalion commander of the mountain artillery battalion.

Liang Guoping thought seriously for a moment and nodded: "Although there are some differences between the two guns, it doesn't take too much time for us to master them. Two days may be a bit rushed, but if we can let go and play, we should be able to complete some basic adaptive training."

"Are you sure this is possible?" Chu Yunfei confirmed again.

Liang Guoping nodded: "Confirmed... it may have some impact on combat effectiveness."

"Okay then. I'll call Commander Yan right now and ask him to assign the 358th Artillery Regiment to my th Brigade."

"No... Sir, would you consider it again?"

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "Even if Commander Yan has a problem with me, he has to wait until the battle is over!"

He walked quickly to the phone: "I'm Chu Yunfei, connecting to the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters!"

【Hey, Brother Yunfei! 】

"Thank you, sir. How are you these days?"

[Brother Yunfei, I'm so busy that I'm exhausted. Is there any urgent military intelligence to report? ]

"Is Commander Yan here?"

[Commander Yan? ]

Xie Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Laoxi who was arguing with Wei Lihuang.
[Commander Yan is very busy right now. He is holding a combat meeting and it is not convenient for him to answer the phone..]

"That's what happened. The 30th Artillery Regiment has already arrived at the front line. Commander Xie, you should know this unit."

[The combat effectiveness of this unit is not very good. It has been less than three months since its establishment and its training has not yet been completed. But there is really no way to withdraw troops at the moment.]

Chu Yunfei was silent for a moment: "I know that the Xinkou front is tight, I am thinking of transferring some officers and soldiers of my mountain artillery battalion to the 30th Artillery Regiment, and some of their new recruits to our mountain artillery battalion.

I have asked my subordinates about this matter. The difference between the two guns is not that big. Although the combat effectiveness is affected, it is not much. "

Xie Ming raised his eyebrows.

If this is the case...is the 30th Artillery Regiment still a unit directly under the theater of war?
Wouldn't that mean it will become the artillery regiment under your 358th Brigade?

Xie Ming didn't want to beat around the bush with Chu Yunfei, so he just asked directly: "Do you want to assign the 358th Artillery Regiment to your th Brigade?"

"Yes, that's what I mean..."

Xie Ming looked at Wei Lihuang who had parted unhappily with Yan Laoxi, and reminded him in a low voice: [Commander Yan is busy with this matter now...but Brother Yunfei...will be away from home, and the military orders may not be obeyed by him. Commander Yan can't rely on many people. ]

"Okay, please thank you, Commander, and all the other commanders and wait for good news. With my 358th Brigade at Niangzi Pass, I, Chu Yunfei, will never let these damn Japanese devils advance even one step!"

"Then I wish Brother Yunfei more success in advance!"
