Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 111: Li Yunlong's brave generals appear on the scene, Qigen Village ambushes the 129th Division and becomes famous in Shanxi (Please subscribe)
What is Yan Laoxi's mental journey and what he really thinks.

Chu Yunfei himself could guess most of it.

But he, Chu Yunfei, is not like others.

The situation we are in is also different from that of our predecessors.

He will not become Xu Cichen, nor will he become Shang Qiyu, nor will he become the next Yan Laoxi.

He is Chu Yunfei now and will be in the future.

As Xie Ming said before
All Chu Yunfei wants is peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

But we must defeat the Japanese invaders, expel the Japs, and abolish all unequal treaties.

How can the country be peaceful and the people be safe under such circumstances?

If you can’t take it back on the battlefield, forget about getting it at the negotiating table.

How to do?
Then do it!
At least this is Chu Yunfei's attitude and idea.

When it comes to combat command, he is confident that he is no less capable than anyone else.

With the blessing of the golden finger, he is invincible!

Whether it is Kawagishi Fumisaburo, Katsuki Seiji, or Terauchi Juichi.

What the 4th Brigade, the 5th Division, the 20th Division, and those damn elite Kwantung Army!
In Chu Yunfei's eyes, he was just a stepping stone to achieve his goal.

Niangzi Pass line.

After Luo Weiguo led his troops to defeat the Japanese attack.

These little Japanese devils also noticed something was wrong.

These Chinese troops are equipped with gas masks
When they attacked, they were not only bombarded by "heavy artillery".

They were also attacked by concentrated fire from enemy small arms.
How could such an attack possibly make progress?

The 13th Infantry Squadron in charge of this attack.

It only took less than five minutes.

They were defeated by the powerful firepower of the defenders.
Kishura Kyuzo was the chief of staff of the 20th Division and the acting brigade commander, responsible for commanding the front line.
After repeated failed attacks.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo, Terauchi Juichi, Katsuki Seiji and others have lost their patience.
What can be done?
There are no more candidates to continue changing players.

Both Japanese regiment commanders were killed in the battle.

The brigade commander was dismissed and the chief of staff, Hisazo Kamura, was also a good-for-nothing.

Now the little devils, even if they want to change their generals
There is no suitable candidate.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo can only command personally
Ever since.

Hisazo Kamura has now become a mere decoration.

Became a tool for Fumisaburo Kawagishi to command the front line
What good ideas can the commander of the 20th Division come up with at this time?

It's just the same old routine. If you can't break through the position, use heavy artillery to bombard it.

Until all defenses are destroyed
I don't know.

The Japanese army gathered a large amount of artillery fire to bombard Niangzi Pass, which was now empty...there were no defenders.

As Kawagishi Fumisaburo gave the attack order.

This group of Japanese soldiers attacked from Shijiazhuang for a full eighteen days.

This time, they finally succeeded in sticking the sanitary pad on the ruins of Niangzi Pass.

Yes, ruins.

Niangzi Pass and the front-line positions had been completely destroyed by Japanese artillery fire and fighter planes.

If these little Japanese devils still want to continue attacking.

We still need to clean up the ruins before we can continue marching.
But for the Japanese army.

At least they made progress..successfully captured Niangzi Pass..
After Kawagishi Fumisaburo received the news.

He immediately ordered the attacking troops to clear the road overnight. The main force quickly pursued.
the other side.

While the front-line defenders at Niangzi Pass retreated as planned.

The main force of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army fought a beautiful ambush in Qigan Village.

Previously, the 771st Regiment had encountered a surprise attack by the Japanese cavalry here, resulting in many casualties.

Commander Liu was extremely cautious in choosing Qigeng Village for the ambush.

"The 12th Company must quickly seize Dingpan Mountain in the southwest of the village after the battle begins and cut the Japanese army in half."

"These little devils are just baggage troops, but their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated."

"Please rest assured, Commander. I will personally command this battle and will ensure victory."

Deputy Commander Wang of the 771st Regiment patted his chest and made a guarantee!
The next day.

As the Japanese vanguard approached the camp.

The Japanese army's supply troops soon arrived in front of the ambush position of the 12th Company.

Nothing to say!

Dry!
Deputy Regiment Commander Wang immediately ordered the heavy machine guns to fire at the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers in the ambush position fired their guns and artillery at the same time.

Grenades were thrown down in groups, one after another.

The soldiers also knew that their guns and machine guns were not as powerful as those of the Japanese.

So maximize the role of grenades.

The Japanese soldiers were stunned and defeated by the sudden attack.

Before we figured out what had happened, a large number of people had already been killed or injured.

From the perspective of the Japanese commander.

Qigeng Village is a safe area.

The defeated soldiers here have been driven out by the cavalry brigade.
In accordance with the original combat plan, the infantry troops of the 11th Company quickly occupied both sides of the southern avenue of Qigan Village.

Block the support of the Japanese infantry units.

The Japanese army did not have many troops, but there was also a small squad of infantry in the vanguard.

And well-trained.

The soldiers of the 771st Regiment who were lying in ambush in the village rushed forward.

Want to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

But the well-trained Japanese army obviously would not give the soldiers such an opportunity.

The vast majority of the soldiers fell on the way to the charge.

Occasionally, soldiers would rush forward.

He couldn't last more than three moves at the hands of the Japanese.

Often, seven or eight people would die before one Japanese soldier was killed or injured.

Even ten or twenty
The 771st Regiment suffered heavy casualties in the previous battle of Zhuanshui Village. In this operation, the 772nd Regiment was responsible for annihilating the Japanese army's baggage troops.

Just as the situation on the battlefield was deteriorating.

Brigade Commander Chen was just about to use the reserve troops.

Li Yunlong had already rushed out with nearly a hundred soldiers under his command.

In the forward command post, Brigade Commander Chen put down the binoculars in his hand and cursed.

"That damn Li Yunlong, he rushed out before I even gave the order?"

"Old Chen, don't you know what kind of personality Li Yunlong has?"

Chief of Staff Li smiled but didn't point it out.

The battle plan formulated by Division Commander Liu was to use the main force of the 771st Regiment to annihilate the Japanese vanguard squad, and the 772nd Regiment to encircle and annihilate the Japanese baggage train.

Among them, the 772th and th Companies of the nd Regiment undertook the most critical task, which was to seize the commanding heights and cut off the Japanese army's connection.

But the 771st Regiment, which was responsible for annihilating the Japanese vanguard infantry squad, also bore tremendous pressure.

Placing Li Yunlong in this position is less than one kilometer away from the front-line battlefield.

Don’t you, Chen Geng, want Li Yunlong’s quick support?
Now that Li Yunlong has gone up, he still has a hard time
Alas...only Li Yunlong is so naive and stupid that he is willing to be fooled by you.

Brigade Commander Chen laughed and cursed: "I will deal with this bastard when he comes back."

"However, judging from the current battlefield situation, the combat effectiveness of the 771st Regiment has been greatly affected. Now it is so difficult to even deal with a small Japanese squad." Brigade Commander Chen pointed out: "After all, we are the Eighth Route Army. Every battle will attract the attention of the people across the country. The Pingxingguan victory, the Zhuanshui Village victory, and now... the Qigan Village victory. Who dares to say that our Eighth Route Army does not fight the devils and the war of resistance?"

The 771st Regiment had a difficult battle as they were facing the elite field infantry of the Japanese Army.

Corresponding.

The Japanese soldiers who served as the baggage train and the civilian laborers recruited from the puppet Manchukuo area obviously did not have much combat effectiveness.

After being besieged by the main force of the 772nd Regiment, they were in a panic and fought back hastily.

Horses and camels died.

The narrow road was quickly blocked.

Military supplies were scattered everywhere.

Completely blocked the escape route of the Japanese and the guards.

The horses, mules and other livestock ran away in all directions after being frightened.

The animals who were luckier fell into the deep ditch and barely survived.

For these little Japanese devils, there is no way to go up to heaven and no door to go down to earth.

The smarter puppet soldiers and civilians quickly raised their hands.

He lay on the ground in a gesture of surrender.

The soldiers would not attack them, but would instead focus their fire on these stubborn Japanese soldiers.

Deputy Regiment Commander Wang shouted, "Blow the charge!"

"kill!"

Under the leadership of deputy instructor You Taizhong, the soldiers of the 11th and 12th companies rushed towards the Japanese army like tigers descending from the mountains and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The one who rushed to the front was Yang Shaoqing, a soldier from the 12th Company. Facing these fearless enemies, he fought left and right, becoming more and more courageous.
the other side.

The soldiers of the 771st Regiment successfully pressed forward and the two sides fought in a group.

As Li Yunlong and his men arrived for support.

The scales of victory began to tilt.

Li Yunlong is also an extremely fierce man, wielding the sword in his hand with great vigor.

In one encounter, he chopped down a Japanese soldier who was trying to stab him.

Next to him was his capable general, the first battalion commander Guan Dashan.

Not far away, there was a deputy platoon leader who also behaved very bravely.

He killed two Japanese devils in one encounter!

Li Yunlong was quite excited and laughed: "Damn it, you are really good, look at me!"

Li Yunlong took small steps forward and stretched out his foot to test it out.

The Japanese were indeed well-trained and would not be fooled.

Unable to contain himself, Li Yunlong immediately stepped forward to attack. After a few blows, he successfully beheaded the Japanese soldier.

"This is the second one!"

On the other side, the deputy platoon leader was obviously more powerful.

At this time, he had killed three Japanese soldiers, including a Japanese officer.

Li Yunlong grinned immediately: "Zhang Dabiao, you son of a bitch, you still hide your tricks in front of me. After this battle, I will promote you to platoon leader!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Captain!"

Zhang Dabiao responded with a groan and then rushed forward again.
During this period, there were actually only a few soldiers in the Eighth Route Army who were capable of bayonet fighting.

It was not until targeted training was carried out later that a casualty ratio of 5:1 or even 8:1 could be achieved.

The center of the battlefield.

An unknown soldier was wounded in five places but still fought to the death.

He was already exhausted while fighting with a Japanese lieutenant, but he was quick-witted.

He suddenly threw the rifle in his hand towards the enemy.

In the moment when the enemy is stunned.
He pounced on it and pinned it to the ground.

Not only did he bite off the enemy's nose with his teeth, but he also shot him to death while the enemy was in unbearable pain.

"Good boy, what's your name!"

"king"

Before he could finish his words, he fainted due to excessive blood loss.

"Medic, medic, bandage him up! This kid is a brave man. We must not let him die!"

"Yes!"

Many soldiers died in the hand-to-hand combat.

There are also many fierce people.

In this battle, according to battle reports, the Eighth Route Army annihilated more than 300 Japanese troops.

More than 300 batches of mules, horses, camels and a large amount of military supplies were seized.

The soldiers quickly cleaned up the battlefield and rescued the wounded.

After a successful start, Commander Liu immediately decided to fight another battle in Qigeng Village.

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that soldiers should not set ambushes. The Japanese suffered a loss here once, so it is difficult for them to be fooled a second time."

Teacher Liu agrees with what others say.

But he still made up his mind, a seemingly independent decision.

This is also the brilliance of Commander Liu in this battle.

The next day, Japanese troops came to investigate.

Under the same ambush tactics, the Japanese infantry squadron suffered heavy casualties and was defeated.
The ambush in Qigan Village once again won victory on the battlefield
And successfully seized several Chinese-printed combat maps
As for how it appeared and how it was captured by the Japanese army.
I'm not too sure, but it's better than the high school geography textbook I used before.

In two days, they killed or wounded more than 300 Japanese soldiers, a remarkable performance.

The results of the battle were reported to the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone.

Yan Laoxi was also generous in praising the Eighth Route Army for its outstanding achievements.

The troops in the war zone were informed of the outstanding performance of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division.

When the news reached Chu Yunfei's command center.

Fang Ligong couldn't help but sigh: "Commander... these people were able to wipe out so many Japanese with their tattered weapons. I don't know how many casualties they suffered. They were already injured in the battle of Zhuanshui Village. After this battle, I'm afraid the 386th Brigade will need some time to reorganize."

In the battle of Zhuanshui Village, the 386th Brigade and the rd Battalion suffered heavy casualties.

Chu Yunfei has reserve troops from the newly formed Second and Third Regiments.

But the 386th Brigade does not have them, and its troops mainly rely on local recruitment.
But now, the Xinkou-Taiyuan Campaign was in full swing, and there was no time to establish an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines.

Theoretically, they have no chance or time to make up.

The ones they fought against were all old weapons brought over from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region.

Chu Yunfei nodded, and then reminded: "Don't underestimate the Eighth Route Army. Their weapons and equipment are much worse than ours, but the firepower of their regiments' light weapons is much stronger than that of the local army. The ratio of light and heavy machine guns and automatic guns is much stronger than that of the Northwest Army, Shaanxi Army and other troops."

The implication is that the regiment led by Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng that they encountered before was not a formal force.

This kind of regiment cannot be used to measure the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army.

"I see.."

Fang Ligong touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

He is truly worthy of being the brigade commander. He knows so much about the organization and equipment of the Eighth Route Army.

However, this is exactly the point that Fang Ligong can never understand.

Chu Yunfei's understanding of the Japanese military can be said to be for the purpose of studying future powerful enemies.

After all, the 358th Regiment's previous training imaginary enemy was the Japanese army.

All tactics and methods are designed to restrain the Japanese army.
But why does the brigade commander have such in-depth research on the Eighth Route Army?
Fang Ligong was shocked...he had already guessed a possibility.

But if that is true.

Commander Yan is in a bit of a dilemma. There can only be one King of Shanxi~!
