Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 207: The devil's trick, the Empire's Flying Tigers? Chu Yunfei's troops entered Teng County. (Seeking monthly tickets)
On the road to Teng County.

The mechanized infantry company's 150mm German heavy artillery was speeding along, towed by a tractor.

The north wind was howling and the dust was hitting the windshield, making a clattering sound.

Artillery Company Commander Ni Hexuan took a swig of the liquor and stared blankly ahead.

"Captain, I think they'll be here soon."

Ni Hexuan showed a trace of worry between his brows: "We don't have many shells left. I don't know if we can help this time."

The city of Teng County is high and thick, so the exact effect of the bombardment is still unclear.

"More than 300 rounds of artillery shells are enough to give the Japanese a hard time!" The soldier driving the car grinned and said, "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to fight side by side with the Flying Tiger Division."

"Master Flying Tiger, what does this mean..." Ni Hexuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Everyone says that Commander Chu's troops are as swift as a tiger rushing down a mountain, and their marching speed is as fast as if they had wings. Once friendly forces are in danger, they will come to rescue in time. In addition, they are the only unit in our army awarded the Flying Tiger Honor Flag, so everyone habitually calls Commander Chu's troops the Flying Tiger Division, and some even like to call it the Flying Tiger Honor Division."

Ni Hexuan was a smart man. He asked with a smile, "I wonder where this news came from. Could it be that everyone started calling him that after the wounded soldiers returned to the team?"

The car soldier nodded: "Captain, you are amazing, it seems to be true. Basically, the soldiers who returned to the rear hospital have heard of the name of the troops under Commander Chu.

Such as the Northwestern warrior Zhuo Tianyu, Qian Bojun who is known as Chu Yunfei's right-hand man, and Wu Ziqiang's resourceful chief of staff Fang Ligong.

Among the mid-level officers, there was also Bian Fucheng, a tough guy from Northeast China who had won the Blue and White Medal... and many others, I can’t remember them all.”

Ni Hexuan chuckled, his eyes deep: "Okay, drive well, I'll take a nap, and when we get there, we'll immediately set up the telephone line and contact the headquarters, and be ready to execute combat orders at any time."

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The offensive stopped and Chu Yunfei's troops rested on the spot.

Inside the headquarters at this time.

A group of commanders gathered around Chu Yunfei.

"There are so many people, please be careful and don't get squeezed."

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong stood among the crowd.

Zhang Dayun, Gong Yuxin, Sun Ming and others stood on the periphery.

Qian Bojun, Wu Ziqiang, Luo Weiguo, and Li Kuishan, who had just arrived at the command center, stood beside Chu Yunfei.

"Look, I received news an hour ago that the mechanized artillery company is already in place, and the 30th Artillery Regiment and the Mountain Artillery Regiment have also moved forward. They are expected to arrive at the preset artillery position at 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"According to the original battle plan, Qian Bojun's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Regiments will be the main force for this assault. The heavy mortar battalion will be transferred to your command to launch a fierce attack from the south wall."

"Yes!"

"Li Kuishan's 4th and 5th Infantrymen are feinting an attack on the east wall to tie down the enemy."

"The Sixth Infantry Regiment will be used as a reserve force, and the Seventh Infantry Regiment will be sent to the line from Jiehe to Zhangjiazhuang to prepare to block any Japanese reinforcements that may appear in the direction of Zou County."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei then turned to look at everyone and said, "Except for the slight adjustment of the 7th Infantry Regiment's combat mission, if anyone else has any questions or difficulties, please raise them now and try to resolve them."

Qian Bojun immediately said, "Sir, the three regiments under my command have suffered heavy casualties. I hope the artillery preparation time can be extended to one hour for this operation."

Chu Yunfei said confidently: "No problem. The originally planned bombardment time is 45 minutes, but I just received a telegram that a new batch of artillery shells from the Second War Zone has arrived in Taierzhuang. It is expected to be replenished within two days. We have no shortage of artillery shells."

"Great!"

Luo Weiguo said: "This is all thanks to the support of Commander Yan!"

Liu Shuzeng, holding a cigarette in his mouth, sighed, "The inventory in the Fifth War Zone has been almost used up. If we wait for the rear to transfer it, the daylily will be cold."

Chu Yunfei emphasized again: "We have only one goal, which is to kill the Seya Detachment who dared to go deep into the enemy's territory alone. We must ensure their annihilation and teach these little devils a lesson. Do you understand?"

"Kill these bastards."

"Make their mothers regret giving birth to them!"

Chu Yunfei laughed: "Remember not to act recklessly. When it's time to call for artillery support, contact us in time. Most of us are old acquaintances, old brothers who have fought for many years, and old classmates. How many shells do you want? As long as I, Chu Yunfei, have them, I will never be stingy!"

Inside the city.

As the supreme commander of the Seya Detachment, Seya Kei unraveled the telegrams one by one and put them together.

Summarizes several of the most critical information at the moment.

First, the ones currently fighting with them are the National Army’s ace troops Chu Yunfei’s unit and the 22nd Army Group of the Sichuan Army.

Second, the main force of Tang Enbo's troops was launching a fierce attack in the direction of Zouxian and Jining, and the strategic encirclement situation had become clear.

Third, the main attack direction of the Sichuan Army is southwest (from the Japanese perspective). Their firepower is much inferior to that of Chu Yunfei's troops. It is possible to defeat the Sichuan Army first... to gain more maneuvering space.

"Captain, the Jigu Division Commander called and said that the main force of the division has already moved south and is expected to break through the Tang Corps within two days. The 16th Division's support troops have already arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River and will arrive within four days at the earliest."

Kei Seya waved his hand. He didn't like being interrupted when he was thinking.

The reinforcements were only about eighty kilometers away from them.

But it is not so easy to break through the last 80 kilometers.

The main force of the National Army, numbering more than 20,000, should not be underestimated.

Aren’t elite troops of the Fifth Division, such as the Guoqi Detachment, now blocked outside Linyi and unable to advance an inch?
Seya Kei knew in his heart that it would be impossible for the reinforcements to join forces with them in a short period of time.

They are the only ones who can fight against the main force of the National Army.

As the casualty reports were sorted out and summarized bit by bit, after taking the report handed over by the chief of staff, Seya Kei couldn't help but feel a little worried.

After a day, not only had half of the outer defense positions been lost, but the number of casualties had exceeded one thousand.

For the Seya Detachment, the number of casualties has exceeded one-sixth.

It's only the first day of the battle, and we must continue fighting at this momentum.

It seemed that it was only a matter of time before they were completely wiped out.

Seya Kai frowned, put down the report in his hand, turned around and ordered: "Send a telegram to General Nishio, the commander of the Second Army, to request reinforcements from the aviation unit... Search in the direction of the mountainous area southeast of Teng County, where there is a high probability that there are enemy artillery positions."

"Hai!"

Second Army Headquarters.

Terauchi Hisaichi, the commander-in-chief of the North China Expeditionary Army, has also personally arrived in Ziyang (Yanzhou) to supervise the battle.

Terauchi Juichi after receiving the telegram in the middle of the night.

He immediately ordered a telegram to be sent to the North China Moth Flying Group.

It was required that the air force of the entire North China region be focused on Teng and Zou counties.

To support the 10th Division's operations.

At the same time, he ordered the Guoqi Detachment to continue attacking in the direction of Linyi and capture Linyi as soon as possible to cooperate with the 10th Division.

He also urged the Jinxiang Detachment to quickly break through the Jinxiang frontline defense zone.
Although the Third Army’s fighting spirit was not high, its equipment was barely acceptable.

In terms of light weapons firepower, ours is not much worse than the Japanese.

According to the estimates of the Fifth War Zone, they can hold out for at least another half a month.

It is enough to ensure that the results of this pursuit and annihilation battle are expanded.

Early the next morning.

Just as the sky was getting light, shells were fired one after another and hit the outer positions of Teng County and the county seat of Teng County.

Wake up the Japanese soldiers on time.

With the first round of artillery preparations over.

The soldiers quickly bent forward and quickly approached the Japanese positions under the cover of light and heavy machine guns and mortars.

He took off the grenades one by one from his body.

Under the orders of the squad leaders, the soldiers quickly unscrewed the moisture-proof covers and pulled the fuses of the grenades.

A simple warm thunder was thrown out from the convenience house after two to three seconds.

Boom! ~
Explosions continued to sound, with soldiers using Thompson submachine guns in the front and riflemen behind.

They formed a straight line search formation and launched an assault on the village.

Da da da!
The crisp sound of gunfire rang out one after another.

Mixed in with the soldiers' curses and calls for medics.

"Boom!"

There was an explosion.

A moment later, a raging fire broke out in the village, and thick smoke billowed in the air.
The gunshots soon rang out again, and then the battlefield fell silent.

The Japanese troops in the village have been cleared out, and the original small village has almost been reduced to ruins during the battle.

Such battles are the norm in the entire outer battlefield of Teng County.

Basically, the places where fierce fighting took place between the two sides needed to be rebuilt after the war.

If the people had not evacuated in advance.

After this battle, I don’t know how many innocent people will fall into the hands of the Japanese devils.

Chu Yunfei's troops' offensive went smoothly. Although they also suffered considerable casualties, the front line continued to move forward.

the other side.

The Sichuan Army's attacking forces collided head-on with the Japanese.

Chief of Staff of the 739th Division Zou Shaomeng and the main force of the th Regiment, led by Commander Cai Zhong, fought a fierce battle with the Japanese army in Wangzhuang.

Even the two men with relatively rich combat experience were almost unable to react to the sudden counterattack of the Japanese invaders.

Under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the attacking force soon could not hold out and was defeated to the rear.

For a time, other attacking forces suffered setbacks one after another.

The acting commander of the 124th Sichuan Army Division, Shui Tiqing, immediately led his guard company to provide reinforcements.

After the special forces company equipped with a large number of Sichuan-made submachine guns pressed forward.

When he discovered the Japanese pursuit troops, he immediately pulled the trigger.

After the dense rain of bullets, the pursuing Japanese invaders were immediately shot into sieves.

He killed more than a dozen Japanese soldiers in one encounter.

The Japanese pursuit troops were caught off guard and the two sides quickly engaged in a field battle.

As the 124th Division's attack was thwarted.

As the acting commander of the 41st Army, Wang Mingzhang immediately notified the friendly forces and quickly stopped the attack.

Adjust deployment and consolidate defense line.

Chu Yunfei in the command center nodded after hearing Fang Ligong's report: "Brother Ligong, it seems that the situation of the Japanese army is not very good."

"The offensive operation was used to contain the main force of the Sichuan Army and to defeat it. The intention was probably to concentrate a large number of troops to fight against our army. This also indirectly shows that the Japanese army knows that their current defense nodes cannot withstand our strong attack."

Fang Ligong exhaled a breath of foul air, put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Commander Chu, if we continue to fight under this situation, victory will surely belong to us!"

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "This is inevitable!"

"Sun Ming, tell the mountain artillery regiment and the field artillery regiment to bombard Teng County again in 30 minutes, and stop after reaching a certain number."

"The mechanized artillery company continues to bombard the southern wall of Teng County. The bombardment will continue until the infantry troops reach the outside of the city."

"Yes!"

Whenever the Japanese troops in the city were repairing their fortifications.

Chu Yunfei would order the mountain artillery regiment or the field artillery regiment to launch artillery bombardment on Teng County.

Although it failed to cause a large number of casualties among the Japanese army, the artillery shells, even if they didn't kill the Japanese, scared them enough.

"This artillery has been bombarding continuously since early morning. Our opponent should be China's ace troops."

"The captain said yesterday that everyone should be prepared to die and be loyal to His Majesty the Heavenly Locust!"

The young devil's words were subconsciously ignored by several old devils, who continued their discussion. "That's right. Chu Yunfei's troops, known as the "Flying Tigers of the Empire", are a formidable enemy of our North China Expeditionary Force!"

"Oh, isn't it Juexinghu?" A Japanese soldier scratched his head in confusion.
"In short, all the "National Army" (the Japanese army called themselves) troops that fought against them would suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out by them. This group of Chinese used a special "spell" called a talisman, and even bullets could hardly penetrate their chests!"

"Red bean paste?"

"Yes, their attacking troops not only dared to charge under heavy machine gun fire, but even artillery fire could not stop them at all!"

Ogawa Eisuke was a new recruit in the team. He was shocked and asked immediately, "What? Facing such a formidable opponent, can we really win this battle?"

"It's not that there is no way to break it, Mr. Ogawa. If I remember correctly, you are still a virgin. According to Chinese folklore, a boy's urine can break their spells!"

A group of Japanese soldiers hid in the trenches and listened to the old soldier telling supernatural stories on the battlefield.

The squad leader quipped.

The new recruit named Eisuke Ogawa took off his pants immediately under the instigation of a group of veteran soldiers.

They cast spells on the guns in the trenches and at the squad leader's request, they took off the white towels around their necks, wiped their rifles clean, and hung them around their necks again.

not far away.

A squad leader named Ito Tetsuya who was patrolling the trenches discovered what they were doing.

The anger value is instantly filled up.

With one kick, he knocked the Japanese soldier named Ogawa to the ground.

Ogawa Eisuke, who was originally accepting the thanks from his teammates, looked confused and quickly pulled up his trousers to salute the team captain.

"What are you doing!"

"Report to the Captain...We"

Listening to several people's stories.

Ito Tetsuya's face turned red again in an instant, and he slapped several people in succession.

"Bagayalu, you idiots, how could you possibly have such a "curse"? These are just rumors. Once your bullets hit them, the Chinese will die!"

Ito Tetsuya cursed angrily and slapped the leading veteran in the face again: "If I hear such stupid remarks again, I will definitely punish him!"

"Hai!"

Just as Tetsuya Ito walked out of the trench.

As luck would have it, a 75mm mountain artillery shell exploded at his feet.

The whole person instantly turned into a pool of minced meat and blood.

"Nani!"

"team leader."

"Could it be that the legend is true? This Chinese ace unit really has the help of ghosts and gods?"

A group of Japanese soldiers looked at each other.

The stupid team leader who just threatened them died not far away.
And they, because they bathed in "boy's urine", were unharmed...
Is there any connection here?

Given the way these Japanese soldiers thought, it was difficult for them to understand.

But everyone's eyes turned to the kettle beside and the only virgin, Ogawa Eisuke.
"Asshole...it's really gone!"

"Ogawa-kun, for our safety, you need to work harder!"

The sound of artillery roared, and casualties continued to occur everywhere, and a few weirdos in this squad survived until the shelling ended.

There were no more shells falling around.
For a time, the saying that boy's urine could protect one spread like wildfire, and the entire position was filled with the strong smell of urine.

Upon hearing the news, Kei Seya was silent for a moment.

Looking at the captain waiting for orders in front of him, Seya Kei hesitated for a long time, and finally gave the order: "If it helps to boost morale and confidence in victory, ignore their spontaneous behavior."

"Hai!"

As the Japanese troops in Guanqiao and Nanshahe were completely defeated, most of them were surrounded and annihilated.

All Japanese blocking positions and defense nodes south of Teng County were cleared.

The soldiers quickly crossed the river.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the first attack on Teng County was launched.

The first to open fire was the 82mm heavy mortar.

To ensure the safety of the artillery positions.

Song Ming divided the heavy mortar battalion's fourteen mortars into two artillery companies.

Support was provided from the east and west to prevent artillery counterattacks from the Japanese invaders.

In just one round of shelling, the heavy mortar battalion fired more than 400 shells.

This does not include the 60mm mortars assigned to the regiment level. It only took half an hour.

Thousands of artillery shells hit the Japanese frontline positions.

The Japanese army battalion responsible for defending the southern city wall was basically blown up.
It was also the first time for them to face a tyrannical force like Chu Yunfei's.
Using the artillery reserves of two war zones to annihilate the Seya Detachment...that would naturally be an easy task.

Less than a minute after the shelling ended, on the position.

The smoke has not yet cleared.

The Japanese officer who was just about to observe the situation rubbed his eyes and quickly shouted a warning: "Enemy attack!"

"Combat. Prepare~!"

"Prepare for battle!"

The surviving Japanese soldiers completely ignored the calls for help from their wounded comrades, and loaded their guns one by one, ready to meet the attack of the infantry.

"Da da da~!"

The light machine guns responsible for covering quickly opened fire, suppressing the Japanese troops on the position.

A small number of grenade launcher shooters fired rounds of suppressive fire at the Japanese trenches, just like the Japanese army's common tactics.

Although the current accuracy is not enough.

But the firing rate was up to standard anyway. The Japanese positions, which suffered hundreds of casualties in the artillery bombardment, were soon penetrated by the continuous charge.

Soldiers from the two companies rushed into the Japanese positions, and subsequent support troops also moved forward rapidly.

At the request of Bian Fucheng, the heavy mortar battalion carried out blocking fire on the large Japanese troops that intended to leave the city to provide support.

"Da da da~!"

After entering the trenches, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment fully utilized the advantages of the Thompson submachine gun.

The Japanese army's bayonet fighting was centered around veterans, squad leaders, and sergeants.

When Chu Yunfei's troops engaged in close combat, they relied mainly on pistols and Thompson submachine guns.

Focus on close-range firepower advantage.

Even if the Japanese launched a suicidal charge, we would be able to deal with it.

There was constant gunfire and the close-range battle ended quickly.

The victory of this battle ended with the defeat of the Japanese.

More than a thousand Japanese devils.

Most of them were wiped out within three hours.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were trapped in the county seat of Teng County.

"Captain, how do we fight? Should we chase them?"

"Dry!"

The third battalion commander Chun Yuxuan picked up the submachine gun handed to him by a soldier and led his infantry company to launch another pursuit.

For a moment, Bian Fucheng, who was reporting the battle situation at the front-line command post, looked confused.

Although the opportunity for battle is fleeting, they dare to directly attack the city gate with the strength of a battalion.

Who gave Captain Chunyu the courage?

"Bian Fucheng, hey, talk to me, can you hear me?"

"Report to the Commander, the Third Battalion has already launched a pursuit... Currently..." Bian Fucheng looked conflicted.

The guard next to him reminded: "They are already attacking the city wall..."

"We are currently attacking the city wall..."

"It's going to be dark soon, why attack at this time?" Fang Ligong ordered: "If the attack fails, retreat and rest immediately..."

"Wait a minute..." Chu Yunfei at the side took the call: "Bian Fucheng, send two battalions for support immediately. If the attack is not going well, help them withdraw. If the attack is going well, send an entire regiment forward. Send someone to confirm the situation of this battalion immediately!"

"Also, find out exactly where we are now and how strong the Japanese resistance is. Report to me immediately in half an hour."

"Yes!" Bian Fucheng looked a bit like a Muggle. He turned around and ordered, "Order the first and second battalions to move forward!"

"Yes!"

The guard nearby quickly rushed out of the command center.

A red flare was fired into the sky.

Fang Ligong was extremely surprised: "Master...this?"

"Brother Ligong, opportunities are fleeting, and the battlefield is changing rapidly. No one knows whether Captain Chunyu has caught the opportunity. Moreover, although the battle plan we have drawn up is detailed, it is impossible to anticipate all situations."

"As for our commanders, we can only trust them. Even if Captain Chunyu is really talking nonsense, we can only wait until the battle is over..."

"Yes." Fang Ligong pushed his glasses and said, "It's just that if we launch an attack on the fortified city under this visual condition... I'm worried that they are likely to suffer heavy losses..."

"Yeah..." Chu Yunfei nodded silently: "Unconventional fighting methods naturally have to bear corresponding risks. If it succeeds, it will be a meritorious service. If it suffers a large loss, it will naturally need to bear the corresponding responsibility."

Chu Yunfei just heard the news.

He immediately immersed his consciousness in the battle map in his mind.

From the three-dimensional combat map.

Chu Yunfei immediately discovered that this force representing the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment had actually entered the county seat of Teng County.

Although they only occupied a small area near the south city wall, they suffered many casualties.

But the battle situation is relatively optimistic.

I believe that with the arrival of subsequent support troops, it will not be a problem to maintain the position.

The next moment, Chu Yunfei quickly switched the support force's perspective.

Under the illumination of flares.

Only then did Chu Yunfei see it clearly.

The entire southern city wall of Teng County was blasted with seven or eight gaps by heavy artillery.

Even the city gates were in ruins.

Judging from the traces of battle at the scene, it seemed that there had been a targeted explosion with explosives.
"I remember that Captain Chunyu was a graduate of the ninth class of the Whampoa Military Academy?"

Sun Ming on the side nodded: "A lot of them came with the reinforcements. Battalion Commander Chunyu is the one who has been promoted the fastest among them. There is also another one named Sun Xinpu who has performed quite well. He is currently the deputy battalion commander of the Third Infantry Regiment."

"Pay special attention to these two people." Chu Yunfei touched his chin. "At present, there are still many officer positions waiting to be filled in the 7th and 8th Infantry Divisions. If they perform well in this battle, consider using them."

"Yes!"

After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he turned around and continued, "Also, ask the deputy commander of the supplementary regiment, Yan Weiliang, to come over... I want to learn about the reorganization of the troops."

"Yes!"

Sun Ming turned around and made a phone call to pass on the message.

Fang Ligong at the side asked: "Are you worried about the Japanese army's counterattack..."

"That's natural. After all, the frequency of the Japanese air force's sorties today is a bit abnormal. Now that we have exhausted our three axes, it's the Japanese's turn."
