Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 177: Completely annihilate the th Brigade, the gold finger function is upgraded again! (Subscribe!)

Chu Yunfei's troops.

It can be considered a secret battle outside Jin.

Although the National Army had been infiltrated like a sieve, the transfer of Chu Yunfei's troops was top secret.

Although the Japanese knew that Chu Yunfei's troops had left Changzhi area.

But obviously they didn't know that Chu Yunfei's troops had already arrived at the Fifth War Zone.

They didn't even know that they had arrived at the north bank of the Huai River.

As the Japanese 26th Brigade crossed the river, it came under fierce attack from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

But it only took less than two hours.

The group that crossed the river consisted of about 1,500 people.

The tank squadron assigned to the Japanese was immediately hit hard.

Except for a few hundred people who retreated to the south bank, the rest of the troops were annihilated.

The 26th Brigade was affiliated to the 13th Division of the Japanese Army.

In order to expand its war of aggression against China, Japan reorganized the 37th Division in Sendai in 13.

The combat effectiveness is quite strong, and Ogisu Rippei is the division commander.

The Chief of Staff was Colonel Hata Yusaburo.

This time they fought against Chu Yunfei's troops.

It was the 26th Infantry Brigade, commanded by Major General Tokushige Numata.

It is composed of the 58th Infantry Regiment (Kuromori Kimito) and the 116th Infantry Regiment (Colonel Soeda Ukito).

The 13th Division was the executioner who participated in the Nanjing Massacre.

It was also the vanguard in the war of aggression against China.

When the soldiers learned about this, they were extremely indignant and wished they could eat his flesh alive.

The fighting power that erupted was far beyond normal.

As for these little devils, there is no need to say anything, just kill them all!
The 13th Division is not an opponent to be underestimated.

In addition to the two infantry brigades.

It also directly subordinates to the 19th Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 17th Cavalry Battalion, and the 13th Engineer Regiment.
The military force is quite powerful.

If we use the artillery regiment directly under the 13th Division, plus the artillery force under its infantry brigade.

In fact, it far exceeded the artillery force of the National Army deployed in the area at that time.

It's just that he participated in the attack this time.

It’s just the 26th Infantry Brigade.

A brigade against three armies...can be defeated like this.

Hey!
Chu Yunfei didn’t know what to say, but fortunately his support arrived.

The Japanese invaders were now driven back to the south bank of the Huai River.

According to his understanding of war history, the fighting on both sides of the Huai River should come to an end.

The 59th Army under General Zhang Zizhong.

In the history of the war, it was the 51st Army that rushed to the rescue and filled the gap caused by the defeat of the 31st Army.

then.

The Japanese army stopped the corresponding attack.

After resting for a while, they launched the attack again.

Inside the headquarters at this time.

Chu Yunfei is still studying the latest upgraded LV3 three-dimensional combat map.

After killing 20,000 Japanese invaders.

The function of this sub-module within the system has also been upgraded from LV2- to LV3.

Not only has the radius been increased by 15 kilometers, but a new function has also been enabled.

One of the items was titled: "Guidance of Fire?"

Chu Yunfei touched his chin.

Look carefully at the function introduction.

Artillery fire guidance: guiding artillery shells to hit the predetermined location.

When using the Artillery Fire Directing skill.

The shelling must be carried out within a five-kilometer range and within two minutes.

There is no upper limit on the number of artillery pieces or shells.

But there seem to be certain limitations in its use.

According to the nature of the system, he would consume a lot of physical energy every time he switched the perspective of his own people.

This skill, which is equivalent to guiding artillery shells, cannot be without cost.

It is possible that it would consume Chu Yunfei's physical strength and energy.

There may be other limitations, and we will need to experiment with them if we have the chance.

The battle ended briefly.

Bian Fucheng, who originally came from the Northeast Army, had a lot of common topics with his brothers in the Northeast Army.

Hometown accent, on the battlefield.

Still very trustworthy.

Especially people from Northeast China, many of them are very outgoing.

Bian Fucheng quickly became friends with these Northeast Army soldiers and also understood how difficult their lives were.

In the mouths of these men from the Northeast Army.

Bian Fucheng received two pieces of news.

First, they urgently adjusted their deployment in order to clean up the mess left by the 31st Army. In other words, the 31st Army was defeated.

Second, the Northeast Army has suffered heavy casualties, with many battalion commanders, company commanders and even regiment commanders being wounded or killed in battle.

At the same time, he ordered his own medical team to mobilize personnel to help these Northeast Army soldiers.

While quickly heading to the forward command post.

Report the situation to the group leader Qian Bojun.

Inside the headquarters at this time.

Chu Yunfei also received a call at that time: "I can't hear the sound of gunfire anymore, Qian Bojun, is the battle over?"

"Report to the brigade commander, the battle is basically over. It is estimated that more than a thousand Japanese invaders have been killed and the remaining troops have been driven to the south bank of the Huai River."

"According to the report from the acting Third Battalion Commander Liu Wang, they found a number of destroyed tanks in a village on the north bank of the Huai River. They should be the results of the battle by the Mountain Artillery Battalion."

"As for the tanks, have you confirmed that the Japanese army cannot recycle them?"

Qian Bojun said: "We placed explosive packs on the slightly damaged Japanese tanks to ensure that they could not be used any further. A total of six tanks were destroyed, including three tanks and three armored vehicles."

"very good!"

Chu Yunfei said succinctly: "I will ask the chairman for credit for your Honorary 196th Regiment!"

"Yes, thank you Aluminum Seat. There is one more thing I need to report to you."

"According to the report of the first battalion commander Bian Fucheng, he learned from the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army that the 31st Army seemed to have just collapsed, which led to the vacillation of the entire front. The 113th Division of the unit suffered heavy casualties, and many middle and lower-level officers died in the battle."

Chu Yunfei said: "I know about this matter. I will verify it with Commander Yu later."

"Yes!"

Hang up.

Chu Yunfei spread out the battle map in front of him.

As for whether the 31st Army really couldn't hold on or was intending to preserve its strength.

It doesn't have much to do with Chu Yunfei.

At least at this stage, the 51st Army and the upcoming 59th Army can be considered trustworthy forces.

Fang Ligong, who was standing by, saw Chu Yunfei spread out the battle map and quickly moved forward.

Corresponding annotations were made based on the telegram and comprehensive frontier information just received.

"The 26th Brigade, if I remember correctly, was the main force in the Nanjing Massacre, right?"

Fang Ligong nodded silently: "Yes."

Chu Yunfei touched his chin.

Consciousness is immersed in the battle map.

Quickly find suitable terrain.

Get ready to give these damn Japanese devils a hard blow.

After searching for a long time, Chu Yunfei suddenly felt regretful.

There is really no terrain here that is suitable for encircling and annihilating the Japanese.

But there is no way.

"Sun Ming."

"Have!"

"Prepare the horses and go to the forward command post."

"Yes!"

The news that the Japanese had been repelled soon reached the 51st Army's forward command post.

Commander Yu Xuezhong and Zhou Xianlie looked at each other.

"Hey, where did this group of people come from? Who did the research? There is still no news?"

"What should I do?"

"Haven't the people down there figured it out yet?" Yu Xuezhong was also quite confused at this time: "The battle started too fast, isn't this bullshit?"

"report!"

"Come in!"

The captain of the guard company came up to the two men quickly and said, "Reporting to the army commander and the division commander, I just found out that it is Chu Yunfei's troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army!"

"Oh my god, it's him!"

Zhou Xianlie was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"That's not right. Why would the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army be willing to fight outside Shanxi?"

Yu Xuezhong remained silent, his brows furrowed.

"Commander, this guy is a famous anti-Japanese general who has gained fame recently. I heard that the firepower of a brigade under his command is comparable to that of half a division of the Japanese devils... With their support, these bastards..."

Yu Xuezhong remained silent.

Zhou Xianlie stopped talking.

"Commander, do you want to go over and say hello?"

"I go?"

Zhou Xianlie scratched his head and said, "You have the airs of a military commander, so if you don't want to go, then don't go. Then why can't I go?"

Yu Xuezhong nodded silently.

Japanese army.

26th Brigade Headquarters.

Brigade Commander Tokushige Numata received a report that his troops had failed in their attack and had suffered heavy casualties.

In less than three hours.

The newly emerged Chinese troops inflicted the same casualties on them as in the previous ten days.

This was an unacceptable and huge loss for the Japanese.

More importantly, they had no idea where this force came from.

There isn't even a unit number.

It was as if it appeared out of nowhere, causing Numata Tokushige to feel worried.

According to the battle report.

The unit was equipped with a large number of mortars and barreled artillery.

And the quality of the artillery is relatively elite.

Most of the casualties were caused by artillery units.

Artillery was considered a high-tech branch of the military during the Republic of China period.

This elite artillery is definitely not the Northwest Army (the colors of their uniforms are very similar).

Numata Tokushige immediately reported the situation to the division commander Ogisu Rikuhei and ordered the troops to stop the attack.

Headquarters of the Fifth War Zone Commander.

Chief of Staff Xu obtained the two latest telegrams.

With an excited look on his face, he walked up to Li Zongren and said, "Mr. De, the latest news from Chu Yunfei's troops is that they won the first battle and annihilated the first part of the 26th Brigade of the Japanese Army. All the devils who crossed the Huai River were wiped out. It is estimated that the number of Japanese troops annihilated is more than a thousand."

"it is good!"

Li Zongren seemed to have expected this. He nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of an elite unit, this special force should display such combat effectiveness on the battlefield."

"Order Zhang Zizhong's troops to take over the defense line according to the original plan, and let Chu Yunfei's troops withdraw and prepare to go north to support the Pang Corps."

"What about the Huai River defense line?"

"The 31st Army is currently gathering the defeated soldiers and will be able to provide support soon. At that time, the 59th Army can also go to provide support."

The two were talking.

Commander Zhang Zizhong of the 59th Army came to the headquarters of the commander of the Fifth War Zone.

At the notice from the adjutant of staff, the two looked at each other and stood up together in response.

"Xun Chen..."

"Brother Xuchen."

"Commander Li, Brother Yan Mou."

General Zhang Zizhong had a complicated expression at this time. When he looked at Li Zongren, his eyes were full of gratitude. He took a step forward and continued, "If it weren't for Commander Li's words, even if I wasn't shot, I would have been trapped in prison forever and become a sinner of the nation. Now I am blessed by your help. I will repay the country and my kindness with my life and blood while I am still alive."

"Master Zhou, this way please"

"Yes, please!"

Zhou Xianlie strode quickly to the forward command post.

Chu Yunfei heard the noise and put down the telescope in his hand. He turned around and stepped forward, taking the lead in saluting: "Commander Zhou."

"Chief of Staff Chu."

After saluting each other.

Zhou Xianlie said gratefully, "Thank you, Deputy Chief of Staff Chu, for bringing his troops to help my division out of its urgent need."

"You're welcome, Commander Zhou. You and I are both on the same team fighting the Japanese. It's normal for us to support each other on the battlefield."

Zhou Xianlie was filled with emotion: "I heard from the officers below that your medical staff helped us treat a lot of wounded soldiers. Chief of Staff Chu, if you need any help in the future, I, Zhou Xianlie, will definitely help you."

Chu Yunfei laughed and didn't care: "Our army was ordered to fight in Jin. When we heard that the situation in the south was tense, we rushed to help overnight. Now it seems that the 51st Army's defense line is still as solid as a rock."

Zhou Xianlie sighed: "Damn it, if the 31st Army had not been defeated by the Japanese, our defense line would definitely be fine. But it's not the fault of these bastards. We have been fighting for such a long time and one third of our brothers have died. No one can hold on."

Chu Yunfei did not respond, but smiled slightly, and then said: "Your friendly troops will arrive soon, and tomorrow our army will transfer the frontline position and continue the mobile operation."

"Any friendly support?"

Zhou Xianlie looked quite shocked. He asked, "Why haven't we received any news?"

"Commander Li was worried that the Japanese in Xuzhou might have intercepted our telegrams, so he did not make any corresponding arrangements before the friendly forces arrived."

"Moreover, in order to support your operations, Commander Li has actually made corresponding offensive deployments. Commander Wei of the 48th Army will defend Luqiao and the Luo River line south of Bengbu.

The 31st Army used part of its main force to counterattack the Japanese troops besieging Shangyao in the northeast direction of the Huai River.

Commander Zhou's Seventh Army launched a diversionary flank attack in the direction of Chihe and Dingyuan.

The two were talking.

Suddenly, the roar of an engine was heard overhead.

"Air strike!"

"Sir, do you want to hide for a while?"

"Why are you panicking?"

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows, raised the telescope in his hand and looked towards the front.

"It's not the Japs' plane, it's our plane."

In the battle map?

Originally Chu Yun was running towards the front line to observe the landing point of the aerial bomb and the power of the explosion.

This can be used to determine the size and model of the Japanese fighter planes and to speculate on the locations where they are stationed.

But what was unexpected was that the movement tracks of our own aircraft appeared on the battle map.

At LV2, the three-dimensional combat map does not have such a function.

As the number of Japanese killed increased.

The level of the golden finger is expected to rise further.

At that time, Chu Yunfei can even warn the troops in advance and conduct air defense operations.

At that time, the Japanese fighter planes would just enter the air defense ambush circle as planned.

There is a high probability that you will suffer huge losses.

Zhou Xianlie was a little reluctant to believe it. He stepped forward quickly and asked, "It's really new that our planes are coming to support us. Brother, can you lend me your binoculars?"

Fang Ligong handed it over, and it was true.

It is affiliated with the 3rd Air Force Squadron of the Republic of China.

This unit was reorganized from the Guangxi Air Force.

The person who carried out this mission was the captain Wu Ruliu.

At this time, he was leading several fighter planes to bomb and strafe the Japanese troops on the south bank of the Huai River.

Although the circling combat did not last long, many soldiers still saw this scene.

It is a method that Li Zongren likes to use very much.

For this purpose, these Soviet-supported Il-16 fighter jets were specially modified.

They welded multiple mounting points onto the wings.

Used to carry aerial bombs weighing around 5-7 pounds.

The power of this bomb is almost negligible, and its symbolic significance exceeds its practical significance.

Its essence is just to let the officers and soldiers on the front line see it.

That is to boost morale.

It doesn't work for Chu Yunfei.

But for Zhou Xianlie who was standing next to him, nothing could be more satisfying than this.

Before that, they were chased and bombarded by the Japanese planes.

It is certainly a happy thing that their planes are now going to bomb the Japanese.

"Blow these bastards up."

Chu Yunfei chuckled and continued to immerse his consciousness in the battle map.

He wanted to find a route suitable for crossing the river and launching a surprise attack to add luster to his first battle out of Jin.

It’s a bit of a pity that these Japanese devils not only did not set up the brigade headquarters at the front line.

Even the regiment command post was beyond the range of the mountain artillery.

Chu Yunfei was very annoyed for a moment. He felt really disadvantaged that he couldn't just blow these bastards to death.

Just annihilate about a thousand Japanese devils.

In this era of concealing casualties and falsifying battle results, it is not dazzling.

Internally it is one way of saying it, and publicity is another.

Not only middle and high-level commanders within the National Army like to report false information.

Subordinate commanders also like to make false reports.

The platoon-level combat results were summarized at the regiment level, and the original number of three Japanese devils killed increased to thirty.

If the report is to kill or wound one hundred enemies.

Reporting to the division commander, it means that hundreds of Japanese devils were annihilated.

Wait for the news to be passed on to the Military Commission.

Hey!
Another great victory!
It’s okay for other troops to deceive themselves.

Chiang Kai-shek is not stupid. After all, on the one hand, it is for publicity, and on the other hand, it is also to promote his own confidants.

Otherwise, why don’t the results reported by the Central Army need to be verified more, while the results reported by the local armies need to be verified more?

The standards are not the same.

just.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Wuhan, saw the telegram sent by Chu Yunfei's troops.

Still, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

Chu Yunfei is different from others!

In Chang Kaishen's view.

Chu Yunfei is a man who is too proud to tell a lie.

This means that if we annihilate more than a thousand Japanese devils, then we have really annihilated a thousand Japanese devils.

If six tanks were destroyed, then there must have been six tanks destroyed on the battlefield.

Chiang Kai-shek believed in Chu Yunfei unconditionally.

Anyone's battle results and reports can be questioned.

But the results reported by Chu Yunfei.

A group of senior generals could only remain silent.

Whether it is the Central Army, the Guangxi Clique, the Guangdong Army, or the Northwest Army.

No troop has the combat effectiveness of Chu Yunfei's troops.

No other commander has such command ability and can use his artillery units so well.

"They are worthy of being the pillars of the country and the backbone of the nation."

"With the support of the 358th Brigade, the tense situation on the Huai River can be resolved, but what about Teng County if Zou County is lost?"

After a moment of silence, Chiang Kai-shek continued, "Reply with a telegram to commend them immediately, and order the Fifth Theater to provide a batch of grenades and medicines as appropriate for supplies. Also order the 59th Army to take over the 51st Army's defense line starting tomorrow... Let them go back and take a breather."

"As for how the Fifth War Zone will defend Teng County, we should not ask about it and let Delin do it on his own."

North bank of Huaihe River.

Inside the 358th Brigade Headquarters.

Following the notification from the communicator, Bian Fucheng rushed to the front-line command post as quickly as possible.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was still learning more about the battlefield situation from Zhou Xianlie, the commander of the 113th Division.

"Commander Zhou, where are those abandoned civilian ships you just mentioned?"

"In the direction of Bengbu, when the Japanese invaders were trying to cross the Huai River, we seized the opportunity to fight back. I remember that there were still dozens of civilian ships on the north bank that did not have time to evacuate two days ago."

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and asked, "Dozens of ships? So many?"

Zhou Xianlie nodded: "When the Bengbu defenders retreated, they only blew up the Huaihe River Bridge and did not have time to destroy these civilian ships."

"These little devils are very powerful. They also brought a lot of rubber boats. If these hundreds of civilian ships fail to conduct reconnaissance, they can transport hundreds of little devils across the Yellow River. They are very difficult to deal with."

Chu Yunfei briefly understood the situation.

As soon as possible, people were sent to conduct reconnaissance in the direction mentioned by Zhou Xianlie.

Zhou Xianlie didn't stay with Chu Yunfei for long.

After a few words of greeting, we said goodbye.

He has to go back quickly.

Report the good news to your military commander.

Two hours later.

The soldiers sent out also successfully discovered the civilian ships left behind on the north bank of the Huai River.

(The vision calibration rules of Goldfinger are somewhat similar to the setting of Fog of War.

Enemy units, as long as they are exposed! In the bird's-eye view, they will be displayed on the map.

It will display a yellow-green bar, number, and current organizational status, which is equivalent to a perspective plug-in for the Japanese army.

The "fog of war" area can only be viewed from above.

High-value enemy units will be directly displayed with icons.

It's like even though there's fog, you know that place is the headquarters, artillery position, airport, etc.
The Japanese army assembly point can also be seen intuitively.. The words in brackets are free, please bear with me, I am really afraid of being insulted recently.)
Under Chu Yunfei's introduction.

Bian Fucheng quickly figured out the mission objectives, attack routes, and participants of this battle.

Possible enemy units and their corresponding firepower configurations.
The sharp knife company crossed the river to launch a night attack, causing chaos to the Japanese invaders and further forcing the 26th Brigade to continue crossing the river to fight.

After suffering such a huge loss, how could these vengeful Japanese devils tolerate it?
Chu Yunfei thinks it is highly unlikely!
