Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 2: Commander Yan, please wait for good news!
Winning!

That’s right, Chu Yunfei thought so too.

Fang Ligong, who had been secretly observing Chu Yunfei, saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He immediately changed the subject and reminded, "But Commander, this battle will definitely be a protracted one. We should prepare early, especially in terms of ammunition and food supplies. We still need your help."

Fang Ligong masters the art of communication.

During the two years I have been with Chu Yunfei.

He discovered some small details.

For example, when Chu Yunfei is happy, whether it is suggestions or opinions.

Chu Yunfei could hear everything.

Even if I don't adopt the suggestion, I will think about it seriously.

If you are unhappy or unwilling to listen to his opinions.

What did Fang Ligong say?

Chu Yunfei is selectively hard of hearing.

At that time, Chu Yunfei would have a confused expression on his face.

It was as if he really didn't hear it.

at this time.

After hearing Fang Ligong's suggestion, Chu Yunfei nodded immediately: "Brother Ligong, I understand this truth, but the current situation is difficult and the resources that the Second War Zone can provide are limited. I believe Commander Yan has done his best."

"Even if we don't have ammunition and shells, we must defend Ruyuekou and thwart their attack."

Chu Yunfei said this and turned to look at Qian Bojun who was not far away.

As the main battalion, the first battalion is naturally responsible for the defense of the front position.

"Qian Bojun!"

"Have!"

Battalion commander Qian Bojun, who had been standing not far behind the two men, walked out of the line with an upright posture, looking very energetic.

Chu Yunfei said solemnly: "Fight this battle well, and I will personally recommend you to Commander Yan as the commander of the first newly formed regiment directly under the war zone!"

"Yes!"

Qian Bojun was naturally extremely excited.

The newly formed 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments are directly under the theater of war.

It was a pilot force that Yan Laoxi established at great expense following Chu Yunfei's advice.

Not only grassroots military cadres have received a good education.

It is also equipped with a large number of automatic weapons.

In terms of light weapons firepower, it is not only stronger than the Central Army, but even stronger than the Japanese Army.

Such troops are very useful in both frontal positional battles.

It's still a tug of war in mobile warfare.

They can all play an unimaginable role.

If I could become the leader of the newly formed first regiment.

Perform well on the battlefield.

There may be opportunities for rapid advancement in the future.

A man should make achievements and serve the motherland.

Qian Bojun's face flushed, and he immediately said loudly: "Just wait and see, Commander. I, Qian Bojun, have followed you in battle for many years, and I am definitely not here to eat for nothing. If I lose the position, I will come to you with my head on my shoulders!"

"Okay! There's no joking in the army!"

"I, Qian Bojun, am willing to issue a military order!"

Chu Yunfei was very "touched".

At least he looked quite touched.

Chu Yunfei glanced at the company commanders behind him: "You all heard it!"

"heard it!"

Chu Yunfei waved his right fist and said loudly: "This war of resistance is a national war. If we fail, we will become slaves of a conquered nation."

"We are a unit directly under the theater of operations and the elite troops of the Second Theater of Operations."

"Our 358th Regiment is fighting at Ruyuekou. We must have the belief that we will win. If we fail, we will die. This is the duty of a soldier."

“Brothers, do you have faith?”

"Have!"

Chu Yunfei raised his right fist and shouted angrily: "Kill the enemy and serve the country, today, 358th Regiment, I am invincible!"

"Defeat the Japanese invaders and return our country to us!"

"Defeat the Japanese invaders and return our country to us!"

"Defeat the Japanese invaders and return our country to us!"

Chu Yunfei was very satisfied with this and waved his hand.

The soldiers instantly quieted down, looking heroic, upright and quite serious.

"Okay, very spirited!"

Chu Yunfei laughed out loud, with a hint of anticipation for the battle that was about to break out.

The current 358th Regiment is the most elite force under the command of General Yan Laoxi of the Second War Zone.

Although nominally a regimental-level unit.

But the number of combatants alone reached more than 6,000.

Including auxiliary personnel, such as stretcher teams, medical teams, field hospitals, logistics departments and other directly affiliated auxiliary units.

There are nearly 10,000 people.

It is an important force in the entire Second World War.

The 358th Regiment at this time.

It has four infantry battalions under its command.

A mountain artillery battalion and a baggage transport battalion.

Two motor companies, one cavalry company, one heavy mortar company, and one anti-aircraft company. The main bolt-action rifle is the Jin-made 65 rifle, equipped with a bayonet.

There are also a large number of Czech-style light machine guns and Type 92 heavy machine guns made in Jin.

In order to deal with the Japanese's poison gas warfare.

Yan Laoxi even spent a large sum of money to purchase a batch of gas masks from France.

It can be said that at this time, the 358th Regiment was armed to the teeth from beginning to end!

The first battalion is a reinforced battalion with more than 2,300 people.

Led by Qian Bojun, who had followed him for many years.

To be able to become the commander of a reinforced battalion, Qian Bojun must be quite capable.

He has received a complete military academy education, is brave and capable, and is fully qualified to be a battalion commander.

Now I have no intention of becoming a traitor for the so-called future.

The First Battalion, as the fist force under Chu Yunfei, is the absolute main force.

The equipment is naturally the best.

It is directly under the command of a mortar reinforcement company, equipped with thirty-six 60mm mortars.

Of course, it was essentially six mortar platoons.

It is provided with centralized support on weekdays and divided into six artillery platoons for use in wartime.

Ensure firepower continuity to the greatest extent possible.

This was also done to avoid being hit by Japanese firepower.

Eighteen infantry companies.

Each company is equipped with a certain number of light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

The entire battalion was equipped with 78 Jin-made Czech-style light machine guns and 16 Type 92 heavy machine guns.

There are also hundreds of Thompson submachine guns made in Jin.

It is currently the only unit under Chu Yunfei that can independently support light and heavy machine guns.

The remaining 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions served as basic infantry battalions.

Each battalion has at least 800 soldiers.

These three infantry battalions have no support weapons such as mortars.

Instead, each battalion was equipped with a heavy gun company.

The standard equipment was four heavy machine guns and twelve light machine guns.

The three infantry battalions had twelve heavy machine guns and thirty-six light machine guns.

In terms of firepower, it is inferior to the elite Central Army.

But in the same period, the troops in various places were comparable.

Chu Yunfei's basic infantry battalion had already opened up a considerable gap with them.

Just unify the caliber of weapons.

in the country, only the Central Army's direct lineage and the German-equipped adjustment divisions can do this.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei has absolute confidence in this battle.

Not to mention that the Suzuki Brigade that attacked this time was only the vanguard, with a total of 2,000 people.

Even if it was an entire brigade with more than 6,000 troops attacking Ru Yuekou.

Chu Yunfei even dared to compete with these damn Japanese devils.

The signalman stood at attention in front of Chu Yunfei: "Report to the commander!"

"speak!"

"According to the reconnaissance post, a Japanese puppet army with more than a thousand people, whose numbers are unknown, is marching towards our position."

"Pass the order and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong hurriedly reminded: "Commander, this unit may be the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade that was ordered to move south."

"According to the intelligence we obtained before the war, the Japanese troops that invaded Shanxi this time, whether it was the Japanese 1st Mixed Brigade, the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade, or the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, were all elite troops of the Kwantung Army."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "I know, intelligence shows that the Japanese army is likely to be experimenting with the so-called mechanized brigade, which they call a small division."

He paused, his tone full of contempt for the Japanese army: "The establishment is only more than 6,000 people.

However, the organization set up an infantry regiment with two large battalions.

The brigade has two tank battalions under its jurisdiction, which are equipped with Type 89 tanks and Type 94 armored vehicles.

In this narrow mountain terrain, their armor can only be used as fixed artillery positions.

Even if it is an entire brigade, with less than 4,500 infantrymen, it is not enough to pose a threat to our troops."

Seeing Fang Ligong was confused.

Chu Yunfei laughed and joked: "The biggest threat to us from this group of Japanese invaders is actually the artillery unit under the brigade, the twelve mountain cannons.

The performance is actually slightly better than our Jin-made ones.

I don’t know whether the vanguard of this attack is equipped with a large number of artillery.

If we have a chance, we can destroy their artillery and win the battle!"

Fang Ligong was shocked. After a moment, he came to his senses and nodded: "Yes, Commander."

"Report, Regimental Commander, Commander-in-Chief Yan of the Second War Zone called and asked if our troops have made combat deployments."

Chu Yunfei rubbed his white gloves and said with a smile: "Call Commander Yan back and ask him to wait for good news."

"I, Chu Yunfei, will repay him for his cultivation and care for me, Chu Yunfei, and the 358th Regiment with a brilliant victory."

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Commander, do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Chu Yunfei seemed to have a good grasp of the situation, and said calmly: "Brother Ligong, the terrain of Ruyuekou is easy to defend but difficult to attack, not to mention that our army has dug complete defensive fortifications.

Not to mention the vanguard of the Suzuki Brigade, even the main force of the brigade will not be able to gain any advantage! "
