Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 15: The 358th Regiment was bombarded, Chu Yunfei almost became Sakata

"Cui Ya, the 358th Regiment is the hard work of our Second War Zone. We must not let anything happen to the 358th Regiment!"

Realizing Commander Yan's firm attitude, Sun Cuiya's eyes swept over the telegram placed next to Yan Laoxi.

"Ru Yuekou's situation has become so critical."

Chu Yunfei had no idea when the reinforcements would arrive.

But early the next morning, after resting, the Japanese and puppet troops launched another attack.

This time the Japanese devils learned their lesson.

Every offensive investment is made by a small team.

They did not charge on board, but instead exchanged fire with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers at a distance of about 200 meters.

The calculations are very good and the soldiers of the Second Battalion are no idiots.

Just hide in the trenches without showing your head.

The Japanese soldiers changed their usual behavior, crawled on the ground, and approached the defense line little by little.

Above the distant sky.

The hot air balloon slowly rises.

The huge target attracted the attention of everyone on the position.

"Oh no! It's the Japanese artillery observation balloon!"

Wu Ziqiang did not hesitate and immediately called the regiment headquarters.

How could Chu Yunfei, who was watching the battle from a God's perspective, not know?

The tactics of artillery observation balloons were backward.

But it is more useful on the battlefield in China.

"Commander, I have observed that the Japanese have launched observation balloons not far from the battlefield. I am worried that they will carry out targeted strikes against our firepower points!"

"My Second Battalion requests to take the initiative to attack"

If we take the initiative and launch an attack, we may be able to kill these Japanese devils.

But the same thing.

You may also fall into the Japanese trap.

Chu Yunfei couldn't afford to pay the compensation, nor could he take the risk.

"No, everyone stay put. Be careful of the Japanese artillery fire. Our fortifications and anti-artillery holes were not dug in vain!"

"I understand, Commander. We promise to hold our ground!"

Wu Ziqiang changed the subject and said, "Commander, do you think you can ask the commander's headquarters for help?"

"I will send a message to Commander Yan to request air support. You don't have to worry about that!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei did what he said and immediately ordered his confidential secretary to send a telegram to the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone.

But it is unclear when, or even if, the air support will arrive.

The air force currently over the entire Shanxi region.

In fact, all of them come from the air force units deployed in the Xi'an area.

Full calculation.

There were actually only three air force groups deployed.

They are the 7th Air Force Squadron, the 27th Air Force Squadron, and the 28th Air Force Squadron (one third is missing).
The main models are still the relatively backward Hawk 2 and Hawk 3.

But there should be no problem in attacking the Japanese invaders' observation balloons.

Once we encounter the main force of the Japanese air force, we will easily suffer losses.

After receiving the telegram, the Second War Zone immediately dispatched the 28th Air Force Squadron for support under the arrangement of Yan Laoxi.

The 28th Squadron is not the main force of the Air Force, but it is the only air force that Yan Laoxi can mobilize at this time.

The battle at Ru Yuekou continued, and the Japanese invaders' attack almost never stopped.

Once the soldiers could no longer hold back, they would show their heads and fight back.

The Japanese artillery units will bombard the machine gun fire points within three minutes.

The most difficult to resist is the grenade launcher used by the Japanese veterans.

The shelling three minutes later actually posed little threat to the soldiers.

Most fortifications were destroyed and could no longer be used, so they retreated immediately.

But the speed of the grenade launcher was too fast. In the hands of the elite old devils, the hit rate could reach an astonishing 85%.

Some soldiers were knocked down, injured or even killed by the Japanese grenade launchers before they had time to change their machine gun positions.

As this situation increased, the machine gunners of the Second Battalion quickly changed their combat thinking.

From the original fixed firepower point, it became a Czech-style guerrilla warfare.

After firing a burst of bullets, they immediately retreated, some even fighting while running.

The fight lasted for half a day.

Chu Yunfei noticed something was wrong.

The fighting between the two sides did not actually cause heavy casualties on either side.

The Japanese army seemed to have changed its strategy for this battle, focusing mainly on consuming the ammunition and artillery shells of the 358th Regiment.

The Japanese's logistics are already very poor.

But compared with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, it is countless times stronger.

It has been almost a week since Ru Yuekou was stationed.

Unless even a batch of supplies has not been received.

It's really funny.

The casualties of the Second Battalion increased day by day, and the Japanese invaders were sometimes even able to rush onto the battlefield and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers.

When this elite Japanese invader puts away his arrogance, he will become extremely difficult to deal with.

Chu Yunfei had no other good solution at this time.

They could only continue to retreat the defense line, and at the same time send the third battalion as the reserve force to replace the second battalion.

Second Battalion Commander Wu Ziqiang walked to the command center.

Chu Yunfei stepped forward and straightened his uniform: "The Second Battalion fought well, I saw it all, and I will explain your achievements to my superiors later."

"Commander, our Second Battalion will be almost done with some ammunition."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand: "No, you retreat to Fanshi County and wait for further orders!"

Wu Ziqiang was stunned, somewhat puzzled: "Retreat? Commander... we still have more than 400 people in the Second Battalion!"

The Japanese invaders launched another attack, and the position of the 427th Regiment was shaky.

In the battle map.

Many small red dots representing the Japanese invaders are rushing towards the heart of the defense line.

The flank of the 358th Regiment is likely to be lost.

Chu Yunfei no longer had time to explain.

He turned around and raised the telescope in his hand.

Fang Ligong, who was standing by, stepped forward quickly and reprimanded in a low voice: "Captain Wu, obey orders!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong stepped to stand beside Chu Yunfei and reminded him in a low voice: "Commander, there is no movement from the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters, right?"

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and nodded: "Brother Ligong, evacuate the people in the surrounding areas of Fanshi County according to the battle plan."

"Yes!"

After receiving Chu Yunfei's order, Fang Ligong turned and left.

At this time, there were others in the command center besides the confidential secretary and confidential clerk.

Only Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming were left.

The phone rang and Sun Ming quickly stepped forward to answer it.

After a moment, he hung up the phone: "Commander, the 427th Regiment's defense line was broken by the Japanese invaders. The commander of the 427th Regiment, Li Dashan, was killed. At present, Brigade Commander Liang was also seriously injured and was captured by the guard squad. The situation is not good."

"Send a message to Commander Yan. It seems that Ru Yuekou is speaking out."

There was a loud bang and the command center trembled.

"Captain, be careful!"

Sun Ming had already pounced forward and pinned Chu Yunfei under him.

After the bombardment ended, Sun Ming shook his head and shook off the dust on his head: "Commander, are you okay?"

"It seems that the headquarters' position has been exposed. Our antenna is too conspicuous. Order the third battalion to retreat while fighting..."
