Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 227 What? Chu Yunfei connected the telephone line to the frontier command post of our Guangdong Army? (Subscribe)
Subtitle: Guangdong people, hot-tempered, know honor and disgrace, bleed and splash the mountains and rivers! This is the highlight moment of the 64th Army of the Guangdong Army!
The day.

There are two camps headed by Sun Xinpu’s camp.

Firmly and faithfully carry out the military orders issued by Wu Ziqiang.

They were constantly collecting weapons from the defeated soldiers.

They also took in some of the deserters, waiting to be recruited and reorganized after the Battle of Kaifeng.

The quality of the new recruits trained by the Central Army is much better than that of the miscellaneous troops.

As for the 27th Army.

Such an army is a typical example of an incompetent general leading to exhaustion of the entire army.

A direct descendant of the Central Army and a famous general who studied in Germany.

No name works.

For this group of new recruits who have lost their fighting spirit.

It would be a waste to leave the weapons to them.

Instead of throwing them all over the ground, it would be better to train these soldiers and add them to the Flying Tiger Honor Division.

After receiving additional orders from Xue Yue.

Chu Yunfei felt at first that it was like a pillow was delivered to him just when he was sleepy.

Xue Boling is so nice!
He was originally playing with fire, but he immediately sent a message to Wu Ziqiang.

This is the order from the Corps Commander!

What's the problem with reorganizing and gathering the defeated troops?
Our Flying Tiger Honor Division must resist the east-west attack from the 14th Division of the Japanese Army. Strengthening our military strength will increase our chances of victory in this battle!
Is there anything wrong with Commander Xue’s order?

Anyone who has any objections can go to Xue Yue to raise them.

What does it have to do with me, Chu?

early morning.

Each unit arrives at the designated attack position.

Even the Honorable 196th Brigade sent a battalion of the rd Infantry Regiment to participate in this attack.

The edge of the battlefield, which should have been silent, was now crowded with a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters.

Even Chu Yunfei's second-line position.

He also received the order from Xue Yue.

The people who came to him were not some group of journalists, but a formal American military observation group.

"Lieutenant Colonel Smith, this way please"

"Sir, the American guests have arrived."

Chu Yunfei nodded and looked back.

"Attention!"

The military advisers of this US military observation group were relatively polite.

They stood at attention and saluted in unison.

Chu Yunfei returned the greeting symbolically.

"What did the theater commander's headquarters say?"

"The US military advisors only observe and do not make any comments. They are just curious about you."

The translator held the rank of lieutenant, which I had never seen before.

"What's your name?"

"Wei Wenbo, you can just call me Xiaowen."

Chu Yunfei nodded slightly: "Well, just let them follow and watch. That's the observation point. If you need a telescope, you can borrow it from us. Don't walk around casually and don't interfere with our work."

For English.

Chu Yunfei could understand most of what was said, and he could sense the surprise in the tone of these Americans.

"Commander, I would like to ask, according to the original battle plan, the attack should be launched in fifteen minutes. What will you prepare in this last minute?"

The translator Wei Wenbo at the side translated it sentence by sentence.

Chu Yunfei put down the pencil in his hand: "In Western terms, it means praying to God that our shells can kill more invaders."

"You are such a humorous commander." Lieutenant Colonel Smith grinned and didn't say much.

Chu Yunfei walked towards the observation port, and his consciousness was actually immersed in the three-dimensional combat map.

The 30th Artillery Regiment and the mechanized heavy artillery company were deployed to the front line.

To ensure their safety.

Chu Yunfei reinforced the only anti-aircraft artillery he had overnight.

As the combat time gradually arrives.

The attack started on time.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire rang out. At least at this time, the artillery power of the National Army was enough to crush the artillery power of the Japanese Army.

The foreign journalists following Li Hanhun came from all over the world.

Basically, they are internationally renowned news agencies such as Reuters, Havas and United Press International.

Of course, there are also reporters from Central Daily News.

They needed first-hand information to boost the morale of the military and civilians across the country in the war of resistance.

The Japanese positions were soon turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The loud charge horn sounded, and the soldiers immediately began a desperate charge.

"Beat her Japanese mother~!"

To support the battle of these elite Guangdong troops.

Chu Yunfei dispatched the 30th Artillery Regiment and the heavy artillery company to come to the rescue.

At the moment of the attack, shells were fired again and extended towards the deep positions of the Japanese army.

Looking at the army commander Li Hanhun who was supervising the battle earlier, he was terrified.

Hu Zongnan’s “magic cannon” troops of the First Army were not received.

Without him saying anything, Chu Yunfei's troops' heavy artillery were mobilized directly.

Although Li Hanhun had never met Chu Yunfei, he was confident that he could send his main forces to help.

I was deeply moved.

As the bombardment continued to extend, the attacking troops continued to attack the Japanese positions.

The two sides immediately engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The reason why the 14th Division is so arrogant is that it has some skills.

Even though they were hit first by artillery fire, there was nothing wrong with their performance in the battle.

Especially the Japanese machine gunners and grenade launchers.

It is very useful in positional defense battles.

The tug-of-war between the two sides was extremely fierce.

The position was lost and regained, and lost again.

The 64th Army, the attacking force, fought for less than three hours.

The attacks were launched three times, resulting in casualties of three battalions, totaling 1,500 men.

The Japanese casualties were equally heavy.

Seeing that the 64th Army had been unable to capture the city after a long siege.

Chu Yunfei immediately sent Sun Ming to lead the communications platoon to the 64th Army's forward command post to assist.

Yes.
The communications platoon's telephone lines were directly connected to the 64th Army's forward command post.

Commander Li Hanhun didn't understand and was very surprised.

"Hello, Commander Li, is this Commander Li?"

"it's me."

"Commander Li, please stop the infantry attack."

"My artillery unit will conduct a covering bombardment on the enemy's depth in ten minutes."

The artillery effect of 12 2mm field guns + 150 mm German heavy artillery was not very good.

Chu Yunfei waved his hand.

He immediately decided to transfer the two main battalions of his mountain artillery regiment to the flank and rear of Li Hanhun's 64th Army.

At the same time, the 4th Infantry Regiment was also deployed to serve as flank guard to guard against Japanese counterattacks.

"Director Chu, are you sure?"

"determine."

Li Hanhun turned around and ordered: "Order the troops to stop attacking and wait for a new round of artillery support."

The Japanese army's desperate counterattack caused them considerable casualties.

These troops are veterans who have followed Li Hanhun for seven or eight years.

After losing so much, it would be a lie to say I don’t feel sad.

Chu Yunfei's initial support for the battle could perhaps be considered the icing on the cake.

And after its attack was thwarted, they once again took the initiative to provide support.

That is like providing timely help.

Just as Li Hanhun sent people to command the troops to retreat.

An officer reported: "Report, Sun Ming, the major adjutant of the Flying Tiger Honor Division, wants to see you."

"Sun Ming? Let him come over."

"Hello, Commander Li!"

Li Hanhun looked at Sun Ming with interest: "You are the one who led the people to connect the telephone line directly to the forward command post of my 64th Army?"

"Reporting to Commander Li, Commander Chu specially sent me to contact the troops of both sides to fight against the Japanese invaders together."

"How long do you plan to keep firing this time?"

"Report to Commander Li, our artillery has a total of 34 pieces and will continue to bombard three ammunition bases."

"One thousand rounds?" Li Hanhun calculated quickly.

Sun Ming shook his head: "Not a thousand rounds."

He looked down at the watch in his hand and said, "It's time to report to Commander Li."

"time?"

next moment.

The sound of shells breaking through the air continued to ring out.
Soon, the Luowangzhai position that the Japanese army had regained was turned into a sea of ​​fire, which was a spectacular sight.

"Commander Chu said that this is broth made from steel, enough for the Japanese to drink."

The artillery preparation lasted for thirty minutes from the time the first shell was fired.

Li Hanhun had never seen such a fighting style. It was completely unreasonable.

They fired three to five times more artillery shells than conventional artillery units, which was quite impressive.

The artillery under Chu Yunfei's command is not only capable of coordinating infantry and artillery with their infantry.

Cooperate in combat with superb skills such as Xu Jin's barrage.

Even our own artillery can provide a shielding barrage. The 150mm heavy artillery and other caliber artillery have different attack positions and depth directions.

Half an hour of shelling basically achieved comprehensive coverage.

Not to mention that there was a Japanese infantry battalion stationed in Luowangzhai.

Even an infantry regiment can’t hold on!
Little did people know that the reason why Chu Yunfei attached so much importance to Luowangzhai was because of the skull that flashed by.

The commander of the 14th Division, Doiyuan, is most likely commanding the battle in Luowangzhai.

But this fleeting sight of a skull may very well indicate that the fat man's command center is on the move.

They stayed briefly in Luowangzhai.

No matter what, the division commander Kenji Doitono can no longer escape.

After the shelling ended.

Li Hanhun took a deep breath and said, "Order the troops to charge forward and kill all the Japanese!"

"Yes!"

Li Hanhun turned to look at Sun Ming at the side and asked, "Does Director Chu have anything else to assign?"

Sun Ming shook his head: "No."

When the Guangdong Army launched the attack.

As the main force supporting the attack, the 3rd Infantry Regiment, under the command of Luo Weiguo, also flanked the Japanese troops that came to support Luowangzhai.

The two sides fought fiercely until the evening.

The setting sun was blood-red, and the smoke drifted away in the evening breeze.

The battlefield was brutal, and the trapped Japanese soldiers showed their madness and determination.

It was just like the siege of Teng County.

Every house and firing point in the village must be fought for with all one’s might.

The brutality of the battle is heart-wrenching.

The subsequent charging troops were ready to die, and wave after wave did not give the Japanese invaders any chance to breathe.

The Cantonese people shed blood on the battlefield. General Li Hanhun frowned and there were faint traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

These are the Guangdong soldiers he trained.

They are all elite troops in his hands.

Chinese and foreign journalists were also moved by the scenes before their eyes and shed tears.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the battle of Luowangzhai is over... We have seized a Japanese sword!"

The officer immediately ordered his men to bring the command knife forward.

Sun Ming took a quick look and immediately reminded, "Captain Li, this is a Japanese general's sword."

"General's sword, are you sure?"

Sun Ming took a closer look and nodded in confirmation: "That's right, only Japanese generals' swords would use such a handle material and color, and this command sword seems to be a gift from the Japanese emperor..."

Speaking of it.

Sun Ming then turned around and asked, "Does anyone have anything I can use to try out the knife?"

Li Hanhun turned around and signaled to the guard beside him.

He immediately took out the copper coin in his pocket and handed it over.

Sun Ming stacked twenty copper coins together.

He swung his sword and slashed down suddenly.

The copper coin was cut in half.

The steel is pure and extremely sharp!

The attacking force was not just the Guangdong Army.

Chu Yunfei's troops and part of the Central Army's First Army also joined the subsequent general offensive.

However, it was the 64th Army of the Guangdong Army that first broke into the headquarters.

At this moment, their sacrifices paid off.

They should be honored with the first merit in this battle.

This battle.

Hu Zongnan specially brought out the third battalion of the 10th Artillery Regiment to accompany them in the battle.

As the Japanese troops in Luowangzhai were annihilated and defeated, the Japanese defense line was compressed again.

The annihilation of the Japanese 14th Division is just around the corner.

At this time, Kenji Doi also realized it.

The Nationalist troops were 100% determined to annihilate his 14th Division.

But now he is surrounded by enemies.

As for the direction of the breakout, it was completely impossible to determine.

The hard battle has caused heavy casualties to the troops.

What Kenji Doihara could not accept the most was that their Yellow River supply line was cut off by Zhu Huaibing's troops.

Food, ammunition and supplies can only be relied upon by airdrops.

The battle that broke out in Luowangzhai today would have been a disaster if it hadn't been for the quick air support.

After a fierce attack lasting the whole morning, the troops under Kenji Doizo could no longer hold on.

In order to avoid aerial bombing by the Japanese army, the National Army liked to gather their troops together for close combat.

The Japanese army tried to avoid the National Army's superior artillery firepower.

I also like to gather together with the national army troops.

The battle between the two sides was basically close-range fighting or hand-to-hand combat.

One can imagine the extent of the casualties on both sides.

The only feasible decision that Kenji Doima made was to capture Lanfeng, but Lanfeng was impossible for Kenji Doima to hold.

And it has been captured again by Chu Yunfei's troops.

He will never have another good chance to occupy Lanfeng, an area with almost no defense!
Based on the intelligence summarized on the battlefield.

The troops besieging them included not only elite troops such as the First Army of the National Army and the Flying Tiger Honor Division.

There is also the 64th Army of the Guangdong Army.

I originally thought that the combat effectiveness of this ragtag army would be somewhat weaker.

But his performance far exceeded Kenji Doi's expectations.

This group of Guangdong warriors showed no mercy when killing the Japanese.

Instead of squeezing the weak one, he got beaten up in the dirt.

Kenji Doizo had no choice but to order all the Japanese troops that could be contacted to be transferred to Sanyi, Quxing and Luowang villages to hold out and wait for reinforcements.

These three places have one thing in common, that is, they are close to the Yellow River.

Supplies can be obtained from water.

just.

Luowangzhai had been captured by the Kuomintang troops.

The remaining troops of General Doizota Kenji were less than 8,000, and they could only be deployed along the Yellow River.

Most of the Japanese soldiers could not sleep all night.

They took turns repairing the fortifications.

And with the support of corresponding materials, there are plans to build exquisite circular fortifications even in some small strongholds.

obviously.

The fat man has given up the idea of ​​breaking out and is just holding on to his spot.

Put all your hopes on the arrival of reinforcements.

Flying Tiger Honor Division, Command.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong combined the latest news and intelligence from all parties and made relevant analysis.

"It is obvious that the Japanese army has given up on breaking out and is now desperately holding on and resisting stubbornly."

Chu Yunfei said: "As long as the reinforcements from the 14th Division cannot break through our defense line, we will win this battle."

"That's easy... The Sixteenth Division's support troops are still blocked at the Guide line. We have at least five days to wipe out the Japanese Fourteenth Division."

There was a hint of relief in Wu Ziqiang's tone.

He never dreamed that the 8th Infantry Regiment was formed by gathering friendly troops.
Now, the ammunition calibers of the domestically-made weapons and equipment of his troops have basically been unified.

Some of the unconventional weapons that were replaced were collected together.

If someone asks for it at that time, you can just fool them.

Now Wu Ziqiang is very optimistic about the prospects of this battle, and can even be said to be full of confidence!
Qian Bojun frowned and reminded: "That being said, the battle situation today is not particularly optimistic. My 3rd Infantry Regiment participated in two attacks and suffered 300 casualties."

During the first attack, a battalion was sent to carry out a supporting attack, resulting in fewer casualties.

Wait until the afternoon when the general attack is launched.

The number of casualties continued to rise.

Qian Bojun organized his words and then slowly said, "The most difficult thing for me is that these Japanese troops not only have tanks and cavalry, but sometimes they also have air force support."

"But there is one thing I still can't figure out, why didn't the Japanese use a large number of fighter planes in Sanyizhai?"

Chu Yunfei frowned and thought: "The number of sorties dispatched by the 14th Division's aviation force is indeed beyond our expectations."

He was ready to use anti-aircraft machine guns (cannons) for guidance.

It’s just that the Japanese army didn’t seem so keen on supporting the 14th Division.

Could it be that Terauchi Hisaichi was dissatisfied with Kenji Doimen's private actions and wanted to teach him a lesson?
But the Japanese air force is unlikely to be idle.

That leaves only one possibility.

These aircraft mainly supported the Japanese support forces.

Then why is there no intelligence coming from the Eighth Army led by Huang Jie?
"Brother Ligong, send a telegram to the commander's headquarters to verify whether the troops on the Guide front line are under great defensive pressure."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei turned his head and looked at everyone: "Based on the results of today's battle, the capture of Luowangzhai means that these little devils have lost a supporting leg."

“The remaining two villages are not very large, but there are many small strongholds that need to be cleared out one by one.”

"The subsequent battles will not be as easy as we imagined."

Li Kuishan reminded them, "Speaking of which, a part of Commander Shang's main force has also arrived at the Red Temple. Our flanks are already protected by friendly forces. How about changing the battle plan and sending the 7th Infantry Regiment to the battlefield?"

Chu Yunfei knew how powerful the Japanese support forces were, and he also knew how crazy these devils could do in order to advance westward.

What if the Japanese army changes its strategic decision and gathers heavy troops?

He will definitely need his main forces to preserve their combat effectiveness to fight against them.

In addition, this battle is related to the selection of the attacking army for the campaign.

It is also essential to make the friendly forces’ front lines more combat-effective.

It's just this siege operation.

The best performing unit so far is the 64th Army under Li Hanhun of the Guangdong Army.

This was somewhat unexpected for Chu Yunfei and others, and even for many senior generals in the command.
