Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 117: Completely annihilate the th Regiment and capture the th Division Chief of Staff Kimura Hisazo (Please subscribe!)
"Report, Commander, the latest news is that the 358th Brigade has launched an attack on the enemy in front of Yangquan."

Tang Enbo, who was rubbing his hands to warm himself, was shocked when he heard the news.

attack?

Under such circumstances, the 358th Brigade actually took the initiative to launch an attack?

Tang Enbo quickly stood in front of the battle map and asked, "What is the current situation at the front?"

"The 40th Brigade of the Japanese Army seems to have received an order to return to provide support. However, Commander Wang has also noticed the Japanese Army's intentions and is currently leading his troops in a fight with the enemy."

"Connect with the 89th Division Headquarters"

The staff officer nodded: "Hello! Hello, is this the 89th Division?"

"Hello? Can you hear me, hello?"

The call was hung up, and Chief of Staff Wu Shaozhou said, "Commander, Commander Feng of the 27th Army is currently operating behind enemy lines. Could it be that Commander Feng has attracted the main force of the Japanese army to come back for support?"

"Chu Yunfei discovered this fighter plane, so he took the initiative to attack?"

Tang Enbo himself was not sure. He chewed the dried radish on the table, pondered for a moment, and then decisively ordered: "Order, the 4th Division quickly withdraws two regiments of the main force to reinforce the 89th Division in the north and fight the enemy. Make sure that the Japanese army cannot reinforce the north."

"Yes!"

Wu Shaozhou waved to the guard beside him to put the coat on Tang Enbo's shoulders.

In the Taihang Mountains, it is very difficult to supply goods due to the cold weather.

The condition of the Thirteenth Army was actually not very good.

The soldiers were hungry and full, fighting with only their passion.

Of course, their legion commander doesn't have much to eat either.

During the battle in Yangquan area, Japanese fighter planes blocked out the sky.

Not to mention making a fire to warm themselves up in the command center, even cooking had to be done with extreme caution for fear of being bombed by enemy planes.

Tang Enbo already had a bad stomach, and now he felt unbearable abdominal pain.

Ever since the battle started.

He couldn't even have a hot meal, and now he could only eat some cold dry food and dried radish to get by.

"Commander, what on earth is Chu Yunfei thinking? How many troops does he have left? How dare he launch an attack on the main force of the Japanese army..."

Wu Shaozhou thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

But Tang Enbo could understand Chu Yunfei's mood.

A few hours ago, he received a telegram from Nanjing.

Chiang Kai-shek has already ordered the 358th Brigade to move to Shouyang to deploy defenses.
Chu Yunfei has now led his troops to the outskirts of Yangquan City.

He became famous at a young age and had never been defeated, so it was natural that he would not take the Japanese army seriously.

Chu Yunfei doesn't even take Chiang Kai-shek seriously.

Take his orders as shit.

How could we possibly treat the Japanese as human beings?
Arrogant and brave generals.

This word is not a derogatory term.

But a compliment.

On the battlefield, the infantry's attack will naturally receive full support from its own artillery units.

The 75mm mortars, mm mortars, and mm mountain guns opened fire at full force.

Before the 358th Brigade attacked, Chu Yunfei had already ordered to contact the nd Division in the city.

After the shelling ended.

The Sichuan Army then translated the telegram and handed it to Wang Mingzhang.

And at this time.
Qian Bojun had led his eight infantry companies to launch continuous charges against the Japanese positions.

One by one, the 60mm mortar shells accurately cleared the Japanese machine gun fire points.

Light and heavy machine guns fired at full force, suppressing the Japanese positions and forcing them not to show their heads.

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope in his hand and said confidently: "Our army will definitely win this battle!"

Qian Bojun commanded a main force of more than 1,200 people.

Attack a hill that appears to be guarded by no more than two battalions.

How could it be impossible not to take it down with the fire cover before this?
The Sichuan Army troops in the city watched as the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, which was wearing the same gray-blue uniforms as them, rushed towards the Japanese positions a few kilometers away like cutting melons and vegetables.

Grenades and automatic rifles quickly suppressed the Japanese soldiers in the trenches.

The tacit cooperation surprised the Sichuan troops.

Although they couldn't see the specific battle situation clearly.

But this battle only lasted for a short time.

The flag of the 358th Regiment was already flying high on the top of the mountain.

They can still tell the difference between the color of the Japanese military flag and the color of our own military flag.

"Our support is here!"

"Captain, give the order, chop these bastards to death!"

"Captain~!"

Soon, the messenger arrived at the front line.
Wang Mingzhang ordered: "The whole division counterattacks!"

At this moment, let alone all the officers and soldiers.

Even the kitchen staff and the grooms who fed the horses had to pick up their swords and attack the Japanese devils ruthlessly.

On the Japanese side.

At this time, Kawagishi Fumisaburo was holding a newly intercepted telegram.
Chiang Kai-shek sent a secret telegram to Chu Yunfei, asking him to rush to Shouyang to build a defense line
In the distance, there was the sound of artillery fire.

The main force of the 358th Brigade is launching a full-scale counterattack together with the Sichuan Army.

The intelligence staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Special High Technology Department intercepted such a telegram...
Isn't this a joke?
"Baga! What a bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Kawagishi Fumisaburo couldn't suppress his anger and slapped the intelligence officer in the face.

"The 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is now engaged in battle with our army... Are you telling me now that they are heading to Shouyang City to deploy defenses?"

"Hai!"

The intelligence officer remained silent and just lowered his head to take the beating.

Two more slaps followed.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo's anger had almost subsided.

Fortunately, only a corner of the encirclement was opened, and the purpose was most likely to support the defenders in the city to break out.

It did not have much impact on the overall battle situation.

After Yangquan, there are Shouyang and Yuci, and then Taiyuan City.

Everything is still planned.

Just when Kawagishi Fumisaburo was planning to adjust his deployment.

The operations staff urgently reported the new situation: "Division Commander, the 358th Brigade and the defenders in the city have launched a full-scale counterattack on our positions."

"What a surprising move! Order Kumura Hisazo to lead his troops to retreat immediately... At the same time, order the heavy artillery regiment to immediately launch artillery bombardment on the enemy's attacking forces."

"Hai!"

Kawagishi Fumisaburo turned his head to look at his adjutant and said, "Let the cavalry unit prepare for battle and be ready to counterattack at any time."

"Hai!"

Deal with the enemy's pursuit forces.

The first choice of most commanders is to use artillery units to create a barrage of bullets for interception.

On the one hand, it can cause a large number of casualties, resulting in more casualties in the pursuing troops and slowing down the pursuit speed.

The more important point is.

Fumisaburo Kawagishi is not short of artillery shells now, but of precious soldiers.

They had been fighting continuously without stopping to reorganize, and were unable to maintain the integrity of their organization.

The decline in combat effectiveness is also due to the same reason.

But in order to achieve the established combat objectives, it was also to capture Taiyuan first.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo couldn't afford to wait, couldn't afford to get hurt, and couldn't afford to die.

The order to retreat has not yet been conveyed to the front line.

The old devil, Kuzo Kurumura, felt extremely ashamed and angry.

Before that, he also told the commander of the 20th Division, Kawagishi Fumisaburo, that even if the 77th Regiment was withdrawn, he would capture Yangquan City before noon tomorrow.

And now, the Sichuan Army, which had been suppressed by them before, actually dared to launch an attack on their positions.

There is no need for Hisazo Kamura to issue combat orders.

The light and heavy machine gun fire on the frontline positions spontaneously spewed out fire snakes.

The Sichuan Army troops charging in the front suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Chief of Staff Zhao immediately ordered the mortar battalion to open fire in support.

The 60mm mortars equipped to them by Yan Laoxi before the war played an important role at this moment.

One shell after another hit the Japanese positions, quickly silencing several heavy machine gun fire points.

The Sichuan Army soldiers charged towards the Japanese positions fearlessly.

The two sides fought each other in an instant.

Hisazo Kamura realized that the situation was not good, but he was no longer able to give the order to retreat.

Retreating under such circumstances would only have one consequence.

That's a rout!
A situation of defeat occurred on the battlefield for all the officers and soldiers on our side.

That would be a catastrophe!
Not only was Hisazo Kamura unable to retreat at this time, he also sent out the entire guard team and the reserve team.

It was naturally impossible for the attacking soldiers to stop and pursue.

The three fasts and one slow tactics that Chu Yunfei often emphasized were fully reflected at this time.

Three fasts and one slow means that one must be quick in scouting the enemy situation (Chu Yunfei has a plug-in), quick in attacking and breaking through, and quick in expanding the results after the breakthrough.

Slow means don't attack rashly and make adequate preparations. The soldiers don't need to scout the enemy, Chu Yunfei has already arranged it properly.

The preparations before the attack were also very thorough, and the artillery bombardment and charge wiped out all the Japanese troops supporting from the commanding heights.

And now...the defense line built by these Japanese devils in the eastern plain area of ​​Yangquan is very difficult for the attacking soldiers.

As fragile as paper.

"Boom~!"

"Boom~!"

Explosions continued.

The mountain artillery battalion launched a slow-moving barrage of fire at the Japanese second-line positions and in depth.

This was a huge test for the mountain artillery battalion as they were performing indirect fire and could not look directly at the target.

Whether every artillery shell fired can achieve the desired effect is still unknown.

This was the first time that Liang Guoping used such artillery tactics on the battlefield.

But in order to annihilate this isolated group of troops, the mountain artillery battalion had no choice.

Dry!
Under the cover of artillery fire, the soldiers continued to charge forward.

As support arrived, the Japanese soldiers on the front line gradually lost their strength.

There was even a sign of defeat.

Liu Wang and other company commanders were agile and charged at the front.

Led by the high-spirited soldiers, they broke through the Japanese army's first line of defense.

And launch a charge towards the enemy's deep positions.

And three hundred meters away from them.

The mountain artillery battalion's shells were firing towards the northeast in a plowing pattern.

"Captain, shall we charge?"

"Why not charge? Didn't we discuss this before the fight?"

"But this cannon has no eyes!"

Some soldiers hesitated a little, but Liu Wang didn't take it seriously at all.

The reckless man grabbed the Thompson submachine gun in his hand and charged forward towards the Japanese's second-line position.

Liu Wang said nothing, but he told these hesitant soldiers with practical actions.

Believe in comrades!

"Kill~!"

"Fuck the Japs!"

"Come on!"

The soldiers were encouraged and quickly charged forward, intending to expand the results of the battle.

The Japanese soldiers could no longer hold their defense line after being hit by a powerful attack.

It turned into a situation of defeat.

The attacking soldiers chased for about four or five kilometers.

The soldiers gradually stopped chasing.

It’s not that I’m unwilling to continue the pursuit.

But at this time, most of the soldiers' physical strength had been exhausted.

There were less than fifty soldiers at the front.

They were all elite soldiers from each company and scattered Sichuan Army soldiers.

As for the others, they had already been left far behind.

"You Sichuan kids are really good at running!"

"Sir, what did you say?"

"You're such a fast runner, what's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Tang Yi."

Liu Wang laughed out loud: "Tang Yi, what a good name!"

Behind the crowd, the yellowish corpses of the Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the mountains.
The soldiers looked back and laughed out loud.

"These damned little Japs run faster than rabbits!"

"Captain, how can you rush so fast?"

"I want to be promoted, so I'll be at the front."

Liu Wang, the captain of the 8th Company, angrily cursed: "These damn Japanese devils ran too fast, and I killed eight or nine of them."

"Captain, it's time to retreat!"

"Be alert, beware of the Japanese coming back to attack us."

"Pick up weapons and ammunition and retreat immediately."

Liu Wang's worries were somewhat unnecessary.

The Japanese 78th Regiment was defeated.

The morale of the two squadrons that provided support was also affected.

There is naturally no such thing as a surprise attack, and counterattack is also impossible.

The few hundred remaining Japanese soldiers retreated to a valley about six kilometers away from Yangquan city before they reorganized their troops.

The battle line was stabilized again.

In order to guard against the attack, the troops continued to attack.

This group of Japanese soldiers quickly built field fortifications on the spot.

Prepare to meet the next round of impact.

The sound of artillery shells breaking through the air was heard from the sky.

The group of Japanese soldiers looked into the distance with a little anticipation.

I hope the heavy artillery regiment will achieve better results.

Blow up these brutal Chinese people!

In fact, the expectations of these Japanese devils are also delusional.

If the soldiers hesitated.

Or the pursuit speed is too slow.

Only then might it be blocked by artillery fire.

And now.

The soldiers charged too fast.

As a result, almost all the artillery bombardments were fired at areas where there was a vacuum of troops.

The artillery losses of the 358th Brigade and the nd Division of the Sichuan Army.

almost negligible.

Liu Wang and others gathered their forces and retreated across the board.

Count the results along the way.

As a result, Liu Wang's soldiers really caught a big fish.

Kumura Hisazo, who held the rank of colonel, was preparing to commit seppuku in the headquarters, but was captured alive by the soldiers before he could do so.

Liu Wang was extremely excited and immediately asked, "Who the hell caught this? Come out and let me know him."

"Captain, it's us!"

The two little soldiers still looked childish.

Liu Wang also had an impression of the two men. They were the new recruits who joined the Xing County Security Corps.

After a month of fighting, they can be called veterans.

"Fuck you, you really gave us the honor of the Eighth Company Commander. I will reward you with fifty dollars when I go back!"

"I'll report to the regimental commander. You just wait for the brigade commander to find you!"

"What, Captain?"

The two young soldiers were excited and followed Liu Wang and asked, "Captain, can we really meet the brigade commander?"

"Fuck, why are you following me? Keep an eye on him and don't let him commit suicide. This is a big fish, you know!"

"That's a fucking colonel. That's like you captured a regiment commander alive. A regiment commander, don't you know?"

Liu Wang was so excited that he spit all over the faces of the two young soldiers.

Chu Yunfei naturally had an overview of the entire pursuit on the battle map.

Liu Wang's words: "I want to get promoted."

It even made Chu Yunfei's mouth curl up.

Xue Jie and Liu Wang are a pair of enemies.

Xue Jie is the captain of the seventh company, nicknamed the fake monk.

Liu Wang is the commander of the eighth company.

The two were very familiar with each other and their company was formed at about the same time.

So they have been competing with each other. Liu Wang is impatient, while Xue Jie is slow and pays attention to details.

Just in terms of complementary personalities.

Maybe Liu Wang could be Xue Jie's deputy?

If Liu Wang can accept it
These two little warriors are indeed lucky.

Captured a division chief of staff alive.

Such merit is enough to win a blue and white medal.

This is an honor that Chu Yunfei doesn't even have now.
