Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 104 Signed: Zhongzheng; The situation on the battlefield at Niangzi Pass changes again! (Subscribe)
358 Brigade.

Command.

After Fang Ligong hung up the phone, he stood next to Chu Yunfei.

He gave a brief report on what happened in Yangquan City.

"Commander, Commander Wang has been in the military for more than ten years. It shouldn't be a problem for him to defend Yangquan City."

Chu Yunfei laughed: "The battle plan that Sun Weimou mentioned actually has many loopholes, but because of this, the Japanese army is more convinced."

Sun Weimou actually gave him a surprise that was neither small nor large.

People who work as staff officers are all very careful...I think they would pay more attention when encountering something like this.

It just so happens that Chu Yunfei is still short of an intelligence officer.

Maybe you can train him appropriately later. If he turns out to be a talented person, you will make a fortune!

"Commander, what do you mean?" Fang Ligong asked bluntly.

"First, although most of the Yangquan area is mountainous, it is also the only place suitable for large-scale encirclement and annihilation warfare.
If the Japanese mechanized infantry wanted to give full play to their potential, they would need to advance along the Shotai Railway. Similarly, only near the railway would there be more plain terrain.

The second point is that the 27th Army, Feng Jingye and his troops suffered relatively few losses. Even though the Japanese knew that Commander Yan had an old grudge against him, they did not dare to gamble. "

bet?
How to bet in this case.

Since the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, many warlords in various places have been dragging their feet.

Many fought to the death for their country and even wiped out their own troops.

What if Feng Jingye and the others’ performance was really just part of the plan?
After a simple change of perspective.

Fang Ligong also agreed with Chu Yunfei's point of view. He nodded and said, "Yes. For national hatred and family feuds, it is most likely that Commander Yan and Commander Feng will put aside their differences."

"The third point is also the most important one. The Chairman has indeed urgently dispatched Tang Enbo's 13th Army to rush to Shanxi and ordered it to support the Niangzi Pass front. Even if the Japanese army did not intercept this telegram, they will now send reconnaissance aircraft and relevant intelligence personnel to verify it."

"Whether the battle plan is true or false, Kawagishi Fumisaburo must bear the risk of being surrounded and annihilated. If he wants to break out of this situation, with the strength of the 109th and th Divisions... it is not impossible."

After hearing what Chu Yunfei said.

Fang Ligong grinned and pushed up his glasses: "Commander...did you ask Staff Officer Sun to do this?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head and denied it: "I did not arrange Sun Weimou to do this, and I was not aware of the existence of a Japanese contact point in Yangquan City.
This place was not discovered by our people until now. I guess the Japanese army has already mastered the deployment of our troops in Yangquan City."

Fang Ligong sighed and nodded: "Yes... compared to the Japanese army, we are at a great disadvantage in terms of intelligence..."

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and even the local warlords all have different sources of information, and we need to judge the authenticity of the information ourselves."

As Chu Yunfei spoke, he took the telegram handed over by the confidential clerk, glanced at it briefly, and then slapped it on the table beside him.

Fang Ligong looked over there intently. After just one glance, he was horrified.

Signed: Zhongzheng.
"Brigade commander..what is this?"

Chu Yunfei didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "The principal is far away in Jinling. It's not easy for him to remotely control a student like me."

"The chairman."

"A general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. If we really fight as he says, we won't be able to hold Niangzi Pass. These so-called miscellaneous troops, including our 358th Brigade, will suffer heavy losses!"

Speaking of micro-management, Chu Yunfei really has some admiration for this chairman.

I am not feeling well.

The energy level is so good.

He sent a telegram asking for credit a few days ago.

I have been doing some micro-management at Niangzi Pass these two days.

Doiyuan is currently facing off against Guan Tiequan in Hebei Province.

The chairman has the energy to intervene in the deployment.

While worrying about the Songhu Battle, he also had to instruct Wei Lihuang at the Xinkou front.
Huang Shaohong is in command very well. Now he is giving orders directly to Chu Yunfei.

He was asked to seize the opportunity, counterattack decisively, and reoccupy the first-line high ground such as Xuehua Mountain and Faluling.

In one fell swoop, the Japanese troops were driven back to Shijiazhuang
Tsk~!

It's a nice idea.

Chu Yunfei really carried out Chiang Kai-shek's military orders mindlessly.

There is a high probability that what Fang Ligong said will happen.

The Japanese army’s casualties were indeed not small, but the casualties of these miscellaneous troops are estimated to be higher.

Chu Yunfei micro-management.

At first, I just wanted to have fun and had no time to worry about the setting up of the heavy machine gun positions.

Later, Chu Yunfei himself discovered that commanding a battle was something that consumed both mental and physical energy.

I might as well just command an artillery unit.

How the infantry units fight depends entirely on the performance of the grassroots officers and soldiers.

While the two were talking.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire was heard again in the distance.

The troops of the 20th Division continued to launch attacks on the positions on the Niangzi Pass front line.

It started yesterday and ends at 3 pm today.

The Japanese army has launched thirteen attacks on the Zhangjiazhuang front.

The 17th Division's defense line is now shaky.
According to the original battle plan, they will retreat to Yangquan for rest after fighting today.

Fang Ligong pushed his glasses, his eyes flashing with coldness: "These little devils seem to be really impatient. I just don't know how they will feel after receiving the false information.
Should we continue the attack, or hesitate?"

"Given the arrogant character of the Japanese commanders, even if this plan was true, they would still attack as usual and attack Yangquan."

"After all, their strategic plan to capture Taiyuan and annihilate Shanxi cannot be changed now."

Chu Yunfei put down the pencil in his hand and continued: "At present, no matter what, the Japanese army has no chance of breaking through the defense line in a short time." While the two were talking, Zhang Dayun returned from inspecting the front line and reported immediately:
"The 1st Artillery Company has even used up all of its 60mm mortar shells, and the 30th Artillery Regiment only has a quarter of its shells left. Now we don't know when the supplies from the rear will arrive."

Seeing Chu Yunfei turned his head and looked at him, Fang Ligong organized his words: "In the past two days, the trains on the Niangzi Pass line have been extremely congested, mainly transporting the wounded and sick and industrial equipment in the Yangquan area."

"The next batch of combat supplies may not arrive until tomorrow. According to the supplementary list issued by the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters, the Ordnance Department has also promised to provide us with 82 mm mortar shells, including mm mortar shells."

Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, then issued a new order: "Move the heavy mortar battalion to the Niangzi Pass area to prepare to support the 17th Division's retreat."

Consciousness is immersed in the battle map.

Reconfirm the current specific positions of each unit.

Then Chu Yunfei discovered some problems.

The 27th Division, which originally planned to hold Niangzi Pass, is rapidly moving towards the 31st Division.

The condition of the 31st Division seems to be even worse than that of the 17th Division.

The front line has been breached.
Chu Yunfei quickly narrowed the viewing distance within the map.

Only then did they notice that the 31st Division's first-line defense positions had been breached by the enemy.

The second-line position is also in danger.

The Japanese attacking force has already charged to the position, and the two sides seem to have just finished a hand-to-hand combat.

The most terrible thing is.

The 31st Division's headquarters was less than three kilometers away from the second-line position.

Once a problem occurs.

The entire 31st Division is about to collapse!
It was obvious that the 31st Division could not hold on any longer.

But no one informed them
Judging from the battle map, the front-line headquarters had not been attacked.

The headquarters of the 31st Division is still standing, while the headquarters of the 27th Division is supposed to be moving and is not shown on the map for the time being.

What on earth happened that caused such a big mess!

(If you are not under Chu Yunfei's command, you cannot switch to the first-person perspective. Please don't criticize the cheating setting at the beginning. I am really afraid of being criticized.)

"Make a phone call to confirm whether the 27th Division has taken over the defense of Niangzi Pass according to the combat plan."

"Yes!"

According to Huang Shaolong's battle plan
The next step is the frontal defensive operation at Niangzi Pass.

It will be handed over to the 358th Brigade and the th Division under Feng Anbang.

Although the 27th Division now has less than 4,000 people, it is still an elite force after all.

Those who can survive on such a battlefield are either lucky enough or have good luck.

Or they have sufficient battlefield experience.

In addition, the equipment of the 358th Division was indeed quite good. According to the original plan, and with the artillery support of the th Brigade.

There shouldn't be any problem if we can hold on for two days.

"Hello! I'm Fang Ligong. Please connect me to the 27th Division Headquarters."

"Can't get in touch? What's going on?!"

"Then help me take over the front line of my wife."

Chu Yunfei frowned after hearing the news and stepped forward: "What's the matter?"

"The 27th Division has temporarily lost contact. It seems that General Sun was injured by the Japanese plane."

"The defense lines of the 31st, 12th, and 30th Divisions are in crisis and are at risk of collapse. Commander Huang ordered us to send troops to take over. The 17th Division has also suffered heavy casualties and is likely to collapse."

"understood."

Chu Yunfei picked up the phone beside him: "Connect the Third Battalion!"

Above the third battalion’s forward position.

Luo Weiguo was inspecting the frontline positions at this time.

"Commander, Commander!"

The messenger ran to Luo Weiguo's side, saluted and said immediately: "There is a problem with the friendly army. The brigade commander ordered the third battalion to immediately go to Niangzi Pass to build a defensive position."

Luo Weiguo looked down at the watch on his wrist and said, "Order the entire battalion to assemble urgently!"

"Yes!"

The third battalion quickly rushed to the Niangzi Pass front line, and at this time Chu Yunfei had already set out for the Mohetan forward command post.

At this time, Huang Shaolong was still standing in front of the battle map.

As the highest commander on the Niangzi Pass front line, he was extremely worried at this time.

No one expected such a mistake to happen.

Japanese air raid bombs injured Sun Lianzhong who was inspecting the front line.

To ensure the safety of his old boss.

31 Chi Fengcheng personally led the special forces company to carry out rescue.

And it happened to be this time.

The 40th Brigade of the 20th Division was located on the mountain, under the command of Commander Tomoyuki Yamashita.

They launched a fierce attack on the Hetaoyuan and Jiuguan lines where the 31st and 30th Divisions were stationed.

The main force of the 20th Division defeated the troops of three divisions one after another.

They attacked the 31st Division's second-line position fiercely.

If it weren’t for the soldiers who were not afraid of sacrifice and fought to the death.

At this time, the defense of the old pass will completely collapse.
