Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 110 Yan Laoxi: Chu Yunfei is really cruel and ruthless. It seems that I should retire!

Second World War Commander Headquarters.

Xie Ming, holding the telegram in his hand, quickly came to Yan Laoxi.

"Commander Yan, the battle plan on the Niangzi Pass front is currently progressing smoothly, and Zhao Shoushan's 17th Division has already retreated and rested according to the predetermined battle plan.

Sun Lianzhong's troops are currently fighting and retreating, retreating towards Guguan to hold their ground.

Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army had already, as originally planned, lured part of the Japanese troops towards southern Shanxi.

The 358th Brigade has also inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy in accordance with the original combat plan and has withdrawn to the Chengjiazhuang line.

Xie Ming paused and saw that Yan Laoxi didn't say anything.

So he continued to report:
"According to the report of Yangquan City Defense Commander Wang Mingzhang, the evacuation work in Yangquan City has been completed and all the people along the way have been evacuated. All the industrial equipment that can be evacuated has been transported."

"For the equipment and factory areas that cannot be evacuated... a scorched earth war strategy has been adopted and bombs are being placed. It is expected to be carried out tomorrow."

"All defense facilities in the city have been completed. On behalf of all the officers and soldiers of the 122nd Division, Division Commander Wang Mingzhang would like to express that we are willing to live and die with Yangquan."

Yan Laoxi nodded slightly, expressionless: "Call Commander Wang back... According to the plan, they only need to hold on for five days. After five days, they will immediately break out and move towards Shouyang..."

Xie Ming frowned slightly, a little confused: "Also, Commander Feng Jingye called to ask... Is the main force of the Yangquan encirclement and annihilation plan to be carried out by the 27th Army or the Tang Corps?"

"The encirclement and annihilation plan for the Yangquan area?"

Yan Laoxi was stunned for a moment. He looked at Xie Ming, a little puzzled: "Yufa, what is this plan?"

Xie Ming was also stunned at this time: "It was not you who instructed Brother Yunfei to feign defeat to lure the Japanese 20th Division into the depths alone, and then cooperate with the Yangquan area and the Sichuan Army's 122nd Division to severely damage or even completely annihilate the Japanese 20th Division."

"When did I ever make a plan like that?"

Old Yan stood up instantly like a spring, but due to his old age and the rush of blood, he was a little unsteady on his feet for a moment.

"Commander Yan"

"I'm fine!"

Yan Laoxi then asked, "What new tricks has Yunfei played on me?"

Xie Ming also reacted at this time.

Huang Shaolong has not been contacted so far.

The latest news is that the enemy’s front headquarters has withdrawn from Mohetan to Shouyang.

"The key point of this plan is to consume and delay the offensive of the 169th Division in the early stage. The th and nd Divisions of the th Army, the th Army of the Tang Corps (with the th Division led by Wang Wanling and the th Division led by Wang Zhongzhonglian), and the th Division of the th Army of the Sichuan Army."

"After the Yangquan City defenders have exhausted the Japanese army, we will attack from all sides and encircle and annihilate the Japanese 20th Division."

"All commanders at the frontline have received relevant orders stating that Commander Huang has adjusted the deployment."

Yan Laoxi was shocked: "How come I didn't know about this?"

"This"

Xie Ming was confused for a moment.

At the suggestion of Yan Laoxi.

A phone call was made to the headquarters of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

"Hello, I'm Xie Ming, a staff officer at the Second War Zone Command Headquarters. I'm looking for your Division Commander Wang."

【Please wait】

After a while.

[I am Wang Mingzhang. What does Staff Officer Xie want to talk to me about? ]

"Commander Wang, regarding this plan to gather the enemy to encircle and annihilate Yangquan, has your unit received any orders?"

[Yes, we have received a relevant telegram from the Mohetan Front Headquarters]

"Can we still get in touch with him?"

[Commander Huang has already retreated. As far as I know, the combat plans of various units are being completed very well. Does the plan need to be adjusted and changed? ]

"No, just to understand the situation. I will report to Commander Yan."

Xie Ming hung up the phone in a hurry. He was sweating profusely.
Done!

There are only two possibilities at this point.

The first is that someone issued combat orders to the front-line units in the name of Huang Shaohong, even down to the number of days.

Retreat direction, deployment position, and participating troops.
Who on the front line has such organizational ability?

Of course there is no Huang Shaohong. There are Sun Lianzhong, Feng Qinzhai, and Zeng Wanzhong.

There are tens of thousands of people, but no one has such organizational ability.

There is only one person who can do it, and that is the one far away in Nanjing.

The battle plan was formulated by Chiang Kai-shek without first reporting it to the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters.

In other words, there was no discussion with Yan Laoxi.

But it is not difficult to see from the answer of Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division of the Sichuan Army...
The order came from Mohetan...it seems as if Chiang Kai-shek really had no say in this matter.

Before Huang Shaohong, a Guangxi clique general and deputy commander of the war zone, gave an order, he would definitely consult with Yan Laoxi.

Why were the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters the last to know something that all the front-line units knew?
so, what happened?
Xie Ming then made a phone call to the Third Army Headquarters.

The information we received was exactly the same as that of the 122nd Division.
"Commander Yan's order came from the Mohetan Forward Command Post. It should be a military order issued by Deputy Commander Huang."

At this time, Yan Laoxi also reacted.

Based on previous battle reports.

It seems possible to encircle and annihilate the 20th Division in the Yangquan area.
According to the battle plan drawn up by Huang Shaohong.

At present, Zeng Wanzhong's troops have led the main force of the 109th Division to the southern Shanxi region.

If the Japanese 20th Division really divided its troops into three groups to attack Yangquan.

After Tang Enbo's troops arrived.

It's not that there is no chance to seize the opportunity to annihilate the exhausted 20th Division
"I'm afraid Brother Ji Kuan doesn't have such courage."

Yan Laoxi touched his chin, pointedly looking at Xie Ming. Xie Ming understood and quickly picked up the phone: "Connect to the 358th Brigade Headquarters."

Jingle bell bell~!

Fang Ligong turned around and answered the phone: "Hello, 358th Brigade."

[I am Xie Ming, looking for your brigade commander..]

"Yes, thank you, sir, wait a moment."

Fang Ligong turned to look at Chu Yunfei who was writing and drawing in front of the battle map: "Commander... Thank you, Commander, for looking for you..."

"Hey, Chief Xie, what's up?"

[Yun Fei, what exactly is the battle plan for encircling and annihilating Yangquan? ]

"This is the retreat and decisive battle plan drawn up by Deputy Commander Huang. At present, most commanders have reported it. The operation plan is being implemented smoothly. It is expected that the main force of the Japanese 20th Division will be annihilated in the Yangquan area."

【Wasn’t it the Chairman’s instructions? 】

"The Chairman instructed me three days ago to launch a counterattack against the Japanese troops in front of us and recapture the high ground such as Xuehua Mountain and Falu Ridge... I did not carry out the order."

【Not executed? 】

"I, Chu Yunfei, naturally cannot carry out such an unreasonable and bullshit order. This is making fun of my soldiers."

[Why didn't the Second War Zone Command know about this? 】

"There is a Japanese spy in the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander... My staff officer Sun Weimou, the commander of the 122nd Division Wang Mingzhang, and Chief of Staff Zhao have captured the spy in Yangquan City."

"My staff officer Sun Weimou drew up a plan to encircle and annihilate the enemy agents in Yangquan, and then passed it on after they successfully obtained intelligence."

"This enemy spy contact point has been cleared out by our army. All personnel have been killed..."

"After receiving the news, I immediately reported it to Commander Huang. Commander Huang decided to use the same strategy to lure the enemy's main force into a fierce attack on the 27th Army and the 3rd Army, which were originally responsible for encircling and annihilating the main force of the Japanese army, so that they would be divided and unable to quickly occupy the Yangquan area..."

Chu Yunfei paused, then raised his voice a few degrees and emphasized: "All of this is to buy more time to ensure that the industrial system in Taiyuan area is evacuated!"

Xie Ming also suddenly realized
The Japanese army's current deployment has been adjusted.

They sent the main force of the 109th Division (Xiyang Detachment) to pursue Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army. Their intention was obvious, which was to defeat the Third Army and ensure the safety of the left wing.

Attack the main force of the 27th Army.

Isn't its essence to ensure the safety of the 20th Division?

Even though they monitored the telephones, cracked the code books, and were able to intercept telegrams going to and from the front.

If the Japanese troops want to adjust their deployment, it will take another three days.
The main force of the 4th Brigade is moving south to attack Yangquan.

The 20th Division now has support troops.

People like Katsuki Seiji and Terauchi Hisaichi.

Nor will we give Fumisaburo Kawagishi any more time.

Even though you know it's a hell of a pit.

Xie Ming was also 70 to 80 percent sure that these Japanese devils would continue fighting according to the original battle plan.

Because they don't have the time and energy to adjust the deployment. It will be delayed for another day or two.

The Tang Army has really arrived at the front line.

At that time, this elite main force of the Central Army will join any battlefield.

will play a decisive role.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Ming immediately reported everything to Yan Laoxi.
At this time, Yan Laoxi was standing in front of the battle map, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Xie Ming thought that the Japanese army had no other options now and could only attack according to their planned battle plan.
Yan Laoxi sensitively captured several key words.

Sun Weimou, the staff officer of my department, I immediately reported the matter to Chief Huang. Chief Huang decided.
This battle plan obviously did not come from Huang Shaolong.
But it’s Chu Yunfei!
For a moment, Old Man Yan didn't know what to say.

Even if he wanted to blame this younger Jin army member, he couldn't find any reason.

Is it any wonder that Chu Yunfei didn't discuss it with him or ask for his permission in advance?
Yan Laoxi himself is now suspicious and doesn't know who the enemy spy is.
What if the information is leaked? The plan will not be successful.

Now, everything Chu Yunfei has done.

Isn't it all for the evacuation of industrial equipment and population in Taiyuan area?

in other words.

All this is not for the sake of continuing the war of resistance, but for the sake of the people of Shanxi.

In order to defeat these devils.

For his sake, can Yan Laoxi continue to be the chief official in Shanxi?
In Yan Laoxi's opinion, Chu Yunfei worked hard and found a good way to reasonably consume the enemy troops and preserve his own strength.

The most crucial point is that Huang Shaohong is not only the commander-in-chief of the Niangzi Pass front line, but this operation also occupies the interests of the nation and the country, and there is nothing wrong with the plan.

If this battle plan succeeds.

It will be possible to reverse the declining trend of Niangzi Pass.

This in turn affected the entire anti-Japanese war situation in Shanxi and even the entire North China region.

Chu Yunfei borrowed Huang Shaolong's hand.

Even if the plan went wrong in the end.

It was Huang Shaohong who took the blame, not Yan Laoxi or Chu Yunfei.

Old Yan was filled with emotion.

Chu Yunfei is less than 30 years old this year.
Decisive, resolute, patient, and good at fighting.

The battle of Niangzi Pass.

It also made Yan Laoxi see Chu Yunfei's ruthlessness (and resourcefulness).

When Chu Yunfei has fully grown up, has more troops and power in his hands, and has accumulated a wider network of contacts, then Yan Laoxi can retire early.
