Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 221 Killing Liu Ziliang! Reorganizing the th Division, making it stronger and more powerful! (Subscribe)

The new recruits were afraid to go to the battlefield.

Wang Shihe could still understand.

But the elite veterans dared not go to the battlefield. This made Wang Shihe puzzled.
What the hell is going on here.
"We tried to send people to provide psychological counseling, but it was useless. The soldiers seemed to have seen too many cruel battlefields, so they suffered a certain degree of mental trauma."

"Some soldiers saw their own comrades die in front of them. The new recruits rushed forward, but were stabbed in the chest by the Japanese invaders again. He got angry and chopped off half of the Japanese invaders' heads with a knife. Arterial blood splattered all over his face."

Chu Yunfei frowned, with some helplessness and sadness in his tone: "I heard him say that he didn't feel anything at the beginning, but after the battle, as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of his comrades dying in front of him, and the little devil whose head he chopped off was staring at him with his eyes open..."

"Are there many soldiers like this?" Wang Shihe asked.

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Not many, just a few dozen"

"That is not bad"

"The rest died on the battlefield..."

Wang Shihe was silent.

After a moment, he sighed heavily: "So, Chief Chu, this political training department you set up is actually for these people?"

"Yes and no."

Chu Yunfei said something shocking: "Political and ideological education is particularly important. I need someone to be responsible for this work and carry out in-depth and long-term propaganda. In my opinion, the Red Party has done a very good job in this regard."

"According to Senior Chen's call back, similar situations rarely occur in their troops."

"And they have experience in strategic transfers of 25,000 miles."

Chu Yunfei seemed not to notice Wang Shihe's changed expression. He continued to praise: "He has an extremely tenacious fighting will and quality."

Wang Shihe said, "The Red Party is indeed good at winning people's hearts."

Chu Yunfei just continued to talk to himself: "We can let a large number of Huangpu officers serve as deputy positions in the army. These juniors of mine have basically received strict political education and have certain military qualities and abilities."

"I think this kind of ideological education and psychological counseling should be done every day and become part of daily training. Only in this way can we reduce the problems currently exposed by the troops."

"If we don't do this, I think even if we are equipped with the best new weapons, we will find it difficult to exert our due combat effectiveness."

Wang Shihe nodded thoughtfully.
Fortunately, what Chu Yunfei said was not quite the same as what he thought.

Otherwise Chu Yunfei would dare to say it.

Even Wang Shihe didn’t dare to listen!
Fortunately, it’s not the Red Party’s style.

"As for your army, have there been any desertions?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Since we left Shanxi to fight the war, there has not been a single deserter in our army."

"They are proud to be a member of the Flying Tiger Honor Division, but are also ashamed because they are afraid to go back to the battlefield."

"Mr. Wang, as their chief officer, I feel very uncomfortable."

Wang Shihe frowned, he could understand Chu Yunfei's feelings.

As for the situation where there is not a single deserter.

Wang Shihe was a little surprised.

But I still believe it.

As long as you are a soldier serving the country, who doesn’t know the Flying Tiger Honor Division?

A true ace main force.

If the cohesion is not strong, how can the combat effectiveness be so strong?

As for the situation described by Chu Yunfei... Wang Shihe sympathized very much with these veterans who had served the country.

But overall, it’s not a problem.

If only that was the case.

It's more like Chu Yunfei is looking for an excuse to ask Chiang Kai-shek for Whampoa graduates.
Just as the two were talking about this matter.

Fang Ligong has arrived in Woyang with four regiments of troops.

Liu Ruming seemed to have received relevant information about Fang Ligong's arrival.

And he has no intention of cooperating.

The gates of Woyang City were closed and Liu Ruming's guards stood on the top of the city.

After Fang Ligong introduced himself.

Still refused to open the door.

He also stated that the Japanese army had already reached Mengcheng.

It is not clear whether they are spies of the puppet army.

The tone is frivolous and contains a lot of dirty talk.

After Qian Bojun learned about this, he wanted to immediately ask Liang Guoping to mount machine guns on the city gate.

Fang Ligong didn't say anything.

But he immediately ordered Li Kuishan to lead his two infantry regiments to surround Woyang.

None of those who can serve as Chu Yunfei's right-hand man are simple characters.

Before he left, he talked with Chu Yunfei about this matter.

Chu Yunfei had no other requirements for this difficult task assigned by the headquarters.

The only thing is that the reorganization must be fast. If they really resist and refuse to accept relevant orders, we should launch a strong attack when necessary.

Even if it means a firefight with this so-called friendly force, Liu Ruming must be killed.

Don't think that no one can do anything to you if you hide in your own team.

If everyone followed Liu Ruming's example, how could the National Army be led?
If Liu Ruming doesn't want to be decent, then help him be decent.

In other words, the only way waiting for Liu Ruming is death!
In Woyang City.

Liu Ruming was extremely anxious at this time and kept urging the confidential staff of his unit.

“Has Wuhan not called back yet?”

"not yet"

"What about Zheng County?"

"nor"

No news, no call back. Nothing could be more despairing.

This means that he was not given any chance to explain.

Even Liu Ruming himself did not expect that

That night.

Chu Yunfei learned about this after he returned to the base.

There was no hesitation.

He led the cavalry regiment to support Woyang overnight.

At daybreak, the large cavalry force arrived.

Chu Yunfei turned over and got off the horse.

Arrived at the forward command post.

No one was prepared for Chu Yunfei's arrival.

"Brother Ligong, what is the situation now?"

"The Military Affairs Department, the Military Political Department, and the Supreme Command have all issued relevant dismissal orders. An hour ago, they replied that they had not received the relevant telegram..."

Normally, Liu Ruming would be given time to defend himself and explain himself.

Chiang Kai-shen had not expected Chu Yunfei to move so quickly.

The telegram was received at noon, and the troops were urgently assembled and marched out. They arrived in Woyang in the evening.

Liu Ruming was not given any chance to argue or maneuver.

It was as if he couldn't wait to reorganize Liu Ruming's troops.

Upon learning the news, Chang Kaishen simply sent another telegram to Liu Ruming, asking him to come to Zheng County himself to explain the situation and seek lenient treatment.

Chu Yunfei took a quick glance at the battle map on the table and snorted coldly: "What else is there to say?"

"Sun Ming, go and inform them one last time, asking them to open the city gates and accept the reorganization. If they don't accept, they will be treated as rebels."

Sun Ming held up a loud speaker and came to the city gate: "We are from the Flying Tiger Honor Division directly under the command of the headquarters, and we have been ordered to come here to reorganize the 119th Division."

There was a gunshot.

The bullet hit not far in front of Sun Ming.

Sun Ming continued with a calm expression, "This is an ultimatum. If you refuse to cooperate with the reorganization, you will be treated as a rebel."

Everyone on the city wall looked shocked.

The battalion commander guarding the city felt like he had gone crazy.

At this time...something weird happens.

"Zhai Qichuan, who the hell told you to shoot?"

"Report to the battalion commander, there was an accidental discharge!"

Zhai Qichuan looked calm, obviously having received orders from Liu Ruming.

Liu Ruming urgently needs time to operate and give himself a chance of survival.

To this end, no one hesitates to take risks.

Feng Wenxiang’s head was about to explode.

As an infantry battalion commander, he has followed Liu Ruming for almost ten years.

Liu Ruming's troops have always focused on preserving their strength when fighting.

The officers below will be affected to varying degrees.

Zhai Qichuan is one of the orphans adopted by Liu Ruming.

Doing something like this at this time is definitely not a rash move.

Feng Wenxiang is not a fool.

It was obvious that the commander had made the decision to fight to the end.

But they were not prepared.

Chu Yunfei's troops moved so quickly that Liu Ruming only had a brief discussion with the chief of staff.

The officers below were still in the dark at this time!
They knew nothing about Liu Ruming's plan.

But they knew that daring to shoot at friendly forces was already a serious problem.

The more serious problem is.

Damn, this is the Flying Tiger Honor Division under Chu Yunfei’s command!
Their style is tough and iron-blooded, just like steel. On the battlefield, there is a saying that all the troops who fought on the battlefield of Xuzhou have heard.

That is, if your friendly army is the Flying Tiger Honor Division, then don't worry, even if they are surrounded by the Japanese, they will rescue their colleagues and evacuate together.
But if you dare to provoke them
The 5th Division is an example (captured Taiyuan, the capital of SX Province).

This group of so-called Japanese ace troops forced Chu Yunfei to chase them for more than a hundred kilometers!
If we resist stubbornly, we will be seeking death.

If you die fighting the Japanese, you will be a martyr and can be enshrined in the ancestral temple.

It would be so damn not worth it if I were labeled a rebel and died!

Feng Wenxiang hurriedly ordered: "Quick, open the city gate!"

"Battalion Commander, over there, the commander-in-chief..."

"The commander has ordered that the city gates must not be opened without permission. Those outside are not Chu Yunfei's troops, but Japanese spies."

"Damn it, look at how many people are outside. The commander is crazy, are you going to die with him?" Feng Wenxiang cursed, "Hurry up... a little later, I'm afraid we will all die here!"

Only after hearing Feng Wenxiang's urging did the soldiers react.

Zhai Qichuan's face turned pale.

He pulled out the pistol from his waist and shot the battalion commander whom he had followed for many years.

Feng Wenxiang seemed to have anticipated this and narrowly avoided the chest.

The bullet pierced his left arm.

"bump!"

Another gunshot was heard and Zhai Qichuan died on the spot.

It was Feng Wenxiang who fired the shot. When Zhai Qichuan dared to speak, he had already prepared himself mentally.

Feng Wenxiang angrily glanced at the people who were still watching the show: "What are you looking at me for? Open the city gates. If you drag it on any longer, the shells will hit us!"

"After so many battles with the Japs, do you want to be a rebel?"

"It's glorious for us to die beating the little devils, but what's the big deal if we are killed by our own people?"

When the gunshots rang out again, Chu Yunfei immediately walked to the observation port, raised the telescope in his hand and looked over.

From the bird's-eye view of the three-dimensional combat map, the troops on the city wall were briefly in chaos.

Moreover, he just stood there, not seeming to have any intention of resisting to the end.

Come to think of it, no matter how fast the movement is.

It was impossible for Liu Ruming to convince everyone in one night.

"Qian Bojun, Sun Ming."

"Have!"

"Draw troops and form two assault teams. The situation has changed. Prepare for a strong attack."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei raised the telescope in his hand again, and the city gate that was originally closed suddenly opened.

Without the slightest hesitation, he said, "Order Mark Ying's cavalry regiment to quickly seize the city gate tower and seize their weapons."

"Yes!"

Sun Ming immediately went to pass on the order.

Qian Bojun immediately arranged for Bian Fucheng to dispatch two infantry companies to prepare for battle.

Chu Yunfei picked up the phone next to him again: "I want the mountain artillery regiment."

"I am Chu Yunfei, Liang Guoping?"

"Be prepared for the bombardment, East City Wall, yes, upon receiving the order, extend the firing..."

"Well, don't worry, take a look at the situation and wait for my order."

After receiving the order, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment galloped on their horses without saying a word.

The soldiers on the city wall were terrified by what they saw.

Not to mention the Type 92 infantry guns that were pushed to the front line and prepared for direct fire.

Just this cavalry unit alone does not have so many cavalrymen in their entire army.

How could this not be the Flying Tiger Honor Division?

Ma Ying led his men to the city wall with great force.

Feng Wenxiang seemed to have prepared himself mentally. He stepped forward and saluted: "Hello, sir. I am Feng Wenxiang, the commander of the 7th Infantry Battalion, reporting to you!"

"Ah."

Ma Ying returned the salute symbolically: "My troops are here to carry out the reorganization work under the command of the Supreme Command. I hope your troops will cooperate."

"Firearms and weapons will be confiscated, and you will be given new equipment when you arrive in Kaifeng."

"Yes!"

As Maxim took control of the city wall, the infantry entered the city.

Liu Ruming was also panicked at this time.

There is nowhere to run, as our old territory has been occupied by the Japanese.

Could it be that he is selling out his country and becoming a traitor?

Liu Ruming was also unwilling.

"General...if we don't take action now, we will have no chance at all. Are you really going to be taken to Wuhan? Will we still have a chance to survive then?"

"Let's do it!" Liu Ruming immediately ordered, "Damn it, since Chiang Kai-shek won't leave me any chance to live, then no one else can survive."

"What Flying Tiger Division? We are no pushovers!"

"Yes."

"Da da~!"

"boom!"

The short and rapid battle was over quickly.

Four officers above the rank of colonel, including Liu Ruming, and a special forces battalion of more than one hundred people were completely wiped out.

As for the assault troops involved in the combat.

There were only three casualties, two of whom were slightly injured.

After witnessing such powerful firepower and tacit coordination, other troops inside and outside the city also gave up their unnecessary thoughts.

They lined up honestly to hand in their weapons, re-registered, and accepted reorganization.

After registration, the soldiers were organized into companies.

March towards Kaifeng.

After arriving at the station.

They will be disbanded a second time and reintegrated into various units.

As for the new recruits in the 68th Army, they were originally recruited to supplement the troops.

They will be directly thrown into the supplementary regiment for training until they are truly combat-ready, and then they will be incorporated into the combat troops.

Before this, giving them weapons would be a waste. They would not even be cannon fodder on the battlefield, but just dust.

After death, no one cares about the dust.

The reorganization work in Woyang proceeded very quickly.

This was also due to the heavy casualties suffered by Liu Ruming's troops.

The designation of the 119th Division was cancelled.

There were about 4,000 soldiers left, 500 of whom were lightly wounded.

As for the seriously injured, they died in Mengcheng.

Being able to escape under the continuous attack of the Japanese armored forces is actually a skill.

To be honest, it may not sound good, but those who did not fall behind generally had pretty good physical fitness.

Wuhan.

Not long after getting off the plane, Chiang Kai-shek received a reporting telegram from Chu Yunfei.

1. Liu Ruming and a small number of soldiers resisted stubbornly and have now been killed.

The list of rebels is as follows: Liu Ruming
2. It has been found that there are 4,120 officers and soldiers in Liu’s army in Woyang area, of which 12 do not meet the military personnel standards and 480 are wounded.

150. Confiscated 150 rifles, mm mortars, Czech light machine guns, heavy machine guns of various types, automatic rifles, mm mortar shells, mm shells, mm shells, grenades (omitted)
Fourth, the following are the people who have made contributions in this process of incorporation: Feng Wenxiang, former commander of the 7th Infantry Battalion of the 119th Infantry Division of the 68th Army, killed a rebel in the chaos.
Liu Ruming was already dead, so he didn't plan to pursue the matter any further.

It also left a little bit of face for Feng Yuxiang and other veterans of the Northwest Army.

Chiang Kai-shek still has some humanity.

It’s just this Feng Wenxiang.

He could have been awarded a Baoding Medal for this achievement.

But now, I get nothing, which is a bit of a pity.

Chiang Kai-shek was silent for a moment, then continued, "Reply to the telegram to commend him, and recommend that Yun Fei promote Feng Wenxiang to the rank of lieutenant colonel and deputy regiment commander."

"Yes."

the other side.

Chu Yunfei, who has returned to Kaifeng, is now arranging another matter.

The hometown visiting group from southeastern Shanxi, as well as reporters and new recruits have arrived in Kaifeng.

Chu Yunfei planned to deal with those veterans who were suffering from stress, fear of war, and soldiers who were tired of war separately.

Based on Sun Ming’s previous investigation results, the right medicine was prescribed.

The problem of war weariness is easier to solve.

However, Chu Yunfei was not very confident that PTSD, a problem that had not yet been solved in 2024, could be solved.

If the problem cannot be solved, the only option is to return home and live as an ordinary person.

Once you get this thing and go to the battlefield, no one knows whether your comrade one second ago will become your enemy the next.

The risk is very high..
After arranging food and lodging, as well as the corresponding preparations, Chu Yunfei sent Sun Ming to receive them.

He returned to the command center.

Chu Yunfei, who had just walked into the courtyard, ran into Fang Ligong who was about to report to him: "Sir..."

"Come on, sit down and talk..."

"Yes!"
