Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 241 The gold finger function is upgraded and the system submodule is enabled again! (Subscription required)

From a strategic perspective.

The Japanese army said there was no problem in pursuing and annihilating Chu Yunfei's troops.

But in terms of the actual results.

It's really average.

I chased him for a long time.

The Fifth Division and the corresponding main force not only lengthened the logistics supply lines.

There were almost no decent results.

Not to mention the fact that there was no record of an organized annihilation of the Flying Tiger Honor Division.

On the contrary, due to some ambushes, their cavalry units lost a lot of people.

Rather than being a pursuit and annihilation, it would be more accurate to say that the Flying Tiger Honor Division was resisting at every step, inducing them to continue moving deeper into the hinterland.

Sakagami Seishirō didn't dare to take the risk.

They were not aware of the current location of the Seventeenth Legion.

Worried about being surrounded and annihilated.

After consulting Terauchi Juichi, the 5th Division then turned south.

Hold on along the Pinghan Railway Line.

Qian Bojun, who was commanding the rearguard troops, also breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that there were no pursuing troops in the rear, he finally put down the telescope in his hand.

"These damn Japanese devils chased me for more than 50 kilometers in two days. I thought they had no fear!"

"It's because there aren't enough shells, otherwise these Japs would have been so arrogant!" Ma Ying sat on a big horse, his eyes full of disdain for the Japanese army.

"I just don't understand why Commander Chu suddenly wants to retreat. If the commander of the first theater withdraws his headquarters, does that mean our mission is accomplished?"

"After fighting for such a long time, we can't even find a complete battalion now. It's time for the soldiers to take a break." Qian Bojun obviously knew Chu Yunfei's concerns. Facing Ma Keying's puzzled eyes, he continued: "Let's go, Commander Chu is waiting for us in Luoyang!"

"go!"

"Drive~!"

Shandong.

Qingfeng Village welcomed a group of special guests. (The timeline was advanced by four months, otherwise I would have to wait for half a year, and I don’t want to wait)

The reason why Sun Xinpu was able to confirm the news about Zhou Weiguo.

It was also related to the ambush they had previously fought in the Hutoushan area.

Speaking of which, it was precisely because of this battle.

The Military Intelligence Bureau also learned that part of the Eighth Route Army had already advanced into Shandong and established an anti-Japanese base.

It's just that times are difficult right now.

Chiang Kai-shek did not pay much attention to it.

As long as these Eighth Route Army troops can hold back some of the Japanese forces.

Destroy the Japanese army's transportation lines.

For him.

The Eighth Route Army will now go wherever it wants to establish anti-Japanese bases.

Zhou Weiguo was obviously quite surprised by Sun Xinpu's arrival.

He had just gotten used to the days of eating meat and drinking wine in Qingfeng Village.

He walked forward quickly and introduced to all the brothers in Qingfeng Village: "Brother, brothers, this, Sun Xinpu is my good brother when I was in the Central Military Academy and studying in Germany."

"Brother Zhu, brothers, this is the first time we meet."

"Brother Sun, where do you make a living now?"

"Now I am a regiment commander under the Flying Tiger Honor Division."

The bandits were dumbfounded.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziming stood up from his seat and asked, "Captain Sun, what are you here for?"

"Brother Zhu, Weiguo, and all the brothers, I am a straightforward person and I like to speak directly."

Sun Xinpu looked at everyone and said, "Commander Chu was very encouraged to learn that you guys fought an ambush in Yixiantian some time ago. You guys are still fighting the devils in the occupied areas. I, Sun Xinpu, admire you very much."

"I won't keep you in suspense. Are you willing to join our Flying Tiger Honor Division and fight the Japanese together?"

"But... we are a group of bandits." Zhu Ziming has a clear understanding of his identity.
Sun Xinpu emphasized: "But you are not fighting the Chinese, you are fighting the Japanese."

"Our Commander Chu treats everyone equally and accepts all the teams that fight against Japan and save the nation."

The heads of the family looked at each other, and it seemed to make sense.
Although they became bandits, after the Japs invaded China, they always targeted the Japanese with their guns.

Zhu Ziming naturally knew that Sun Xinpu came for Zhou Weiguo.

Otherwise, Shandong would have been occupied by the Japanese.

Why did he, the commander of the National Army, come here from afar?
"Captain Sun, could you please stay at my Qingfeng Village for a few days so that we can discuss the matter?"

"It's impossible."

"Weiguo, please entertain Captain Sun. The brothers can also discuss whether we should go to look for Commander Chu. This can also be considered as a way to pursue our career."

"Okay, Xinpu, come."

Zhou Weiguo nodded.

He gestured to Sun Xinpu and his group to walk towards a room not far away.

"No, why are you here?"

"Commander Chu values ​​talents. He knows your achievements in studying in Germany, and your record in the Battle of Songhu and Nanjing. He said that if you are willing to serve under him, he will reserve a position for you as the head of the main infantry regiment."

"Captain, this is great news! This is the world-famous Flying Tiger Honor Division!" Xu Hu on the side was very excited.

Zhou Weiguo naturally understood this: "But what about these brothers?"

"As long as they are willing to go with us, Commander Chu said that we will treat them all equally."

"We can also help them to obtain an independent battalion, so that they are not bound by the constraints of the regular troops and can focus on fighting the Japanese."

Zhou Weiguo felt that what Sun Xinpu said made sense. He turned around and signaled Xu Hu: "Please invite Brother Zhu over."

"Yes!"

Zhu Ziming also had some intention at this time.

Rather than being a bandit, he would rather be a hero defending his country.

What's more, this was Chu Yunfei's recruitment.

When talking about Chu Yunfei, no matter whether they are from all walks of life or heroes from all quarters, who wouldn’t give him a thumbs up?
The brothers under his command also showed longing on their faces at this time.

Rather than becoming a bandit, it is not a bad idea to join the army and give it a try.

If it was the Eighth Route Army or other national army units, they might not look down on them.
But this is the world-famous Flying Tiger Honor Division.

In their view, this is the ace main force.

This is a team that would scare the Japanese soldiers when they hear the name!

"Brother Zhu, Captain Sun invites you over."

"Why do you only call me Big Brother?"

“Yes, let’s go together.”

“Go, go, go”

When Sun Xinpu saw the bosses rushing into the room, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

But he still showed his sincerity and described in detail the conditions he was willing to offer.

"This independent brigade... does that mean it's not a regular army?"

"You will have food and salary, but you will be less restricted. I see that you have strong bandit habits, and in our army, the discipline is quite strict. There are corresponding military rules and regulations for every word and action, even walking and standing."

"That's why I suggest that you all become members of my Third Infantry Regiment's Independent Battalion first, and transform yourself from being a green forest hero."

“It doesn’t seem impossible.”

Zhu Ziming turned his head and looked at everyone, but had no time to speak.

Zhou Weiguo said, "Brother, fellow soldiers, we fought very loudly this time, and the Japanese have already noticed us."

"After all, we are not many in number and can only be considered a small force. Once we face a large Japanese force encircling us, it will be easy for us to run into big problems."

"So, what does the Second-in-Command mean?" Morita asked.

"I suggest that all of you brothers go with Captain Sun. Even if this is your first meeting, if you don't trust him, can you trust me?"

Zhou Weiguo said loudly: "I, Zhou Weiguo, guarantee with my integrity that Chief Chu will definitely treat you all equally."

Zhu Ziming nodded: "What do you think, brothers?"

"Brother, if we follow Chief Chu, we can still have a good life, so why not go?"

"That's right. If the Japanese really attack us, we will be in a passive position."

The bandits were talking to each other.
Zhu Ziming immediately agreed upon seeing this: "Okay, Captain Sun, give me two days to prepare. I'll see how many brothers are willing to go with us."

The reorganization of Qingfengzhai went much more smoothly than Sun Xinpu had expected.

Sun Xinpu didn't expect that Chu Yunfei's reputation was so effective in the eyes of this group of people.

Even a group of bandits who occupied the mountains and became kings.

Everyone knows clearly the world-famous Flying Tiger Honor Division.

"I never thought that a group of outlaws who occupied the mountains would one day be proud of being able to become part of the anti-Japanese team. All we gave them was a chance to join the Flying Tiger Honor Division."

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Chu Yunfei's troops have retreated to Luoyang.

And in accordance with the military orders of the headquarters.

They will take a train to the southeastern part of Shanxi to rest. Another two days have passed.

All of Chu Yunfei's troops crossed the Yellow River and returned to southeastern Shanxi.

"Half a year has passed since we went to Jin for the campaign. I have been learning about the development and changes in southeastern Jin through telegrams. I didn't expect that judging from the busyness of the ferry, the situation in southeastern Jin seems to have improved."

Chu Yunfei smiled and nodded: "Yes, although the Japanese army launched a comprehensive blockade of our southeastern Shanxi region, it also deepened our connection with the rear of the Anti-Japanese War."

"Commander Chu, I have been thinking about a question these days. Although the Japanese invaders intend to encircle and annihilate our main force in eastern Henan, judging from the actual fighting situation, they do not seem to have enough military strength to do this..."

"Brother Ligong, do you mean that we should fight step by step in order to inflict greater damage on the Japanese invaders?"

Fang Ligong nodded: "Yes"

"The strategy formulated by the headquarters is to fight Wuhan instead of defending Wuhan, to protect Greater Wuhan. That's right, but the Japanese army has been plotting against Wuhan for a long time."

Chu Yunfei said this and handed the telegram in his hand to Fang Ligong.

"The Madang Fortress was lost?"

"Isn't this the natural barrier that is said to be unbreakable?"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Yes, on the surface, it can indeed be called a natural barrier."

"On the surface, the Yangtze River defense line is also impregnable."

“The problem of the Ma’an Fortress is actually not much different from that of the Yangtze River Defense Line.

What they have in common is that their forces are too sparse.

Moreover, our main forces in other war zones are unable to transfer corresponding troops to provide reinforcements.

With the existing combat forces of the Ninth Theater, there is naturally no hope of winning if we only fight against the main force of the Japanese army advancing westward. "

The front of the Madang Fortress was indeed extremely strong, and it gained a great advantage when fighting against Japanese warships.

"We were able to defend Lanfeng and Kaifeng because we had fortifications and natural defenses like the Huiji River. But when it came to defending Xuchang, we only had those temporary fortifications, but we had to face the main force of the Japanese army, which was armed to the teeth."

"Under such circumstances, fighting the main force of the Japanese army would only cause further losses to the troops and would not achieve the corresponding combat objectives."

"The order from the headquarters of the First War Zone was to retreat westward with all our strength, to trade space for time and force the Japanese army to stop pursuing us."

"For the Japanese army, Wuhan was obviously more important than occupying Henan, so they stopped the pursuit and attacked southward."

Chu Yunfei pointed at the battle map and talked freely.

Zhang Dayun and Gong Yuxin on the side also walked over.

"In fact, from the current deployment of the Japanese army, as well as subsequent adjustments and relevant intelligence, we can see that the Japanese battle plan for the Battle of Wuhan has been changing."

Chu Yunfei pointed to several key points on the battle map and said, "The Japanese army actually had only two battle plans for attacking Wuhan.

Going directly south along the Pinghan Railway, the road is smooth and very suitable for mechanized troop operations.

It can flank the national army on the northern front and encircle its main force at any time.

But the disadvantages are equally obvious.

Once an isolated troop advances deep into the enemy's territory, it will be vulnerable to flanking attacks by the main forces of the First and Fifth War Zones.

And the logistical supply lines are extremely long and difficult to maintain.”

"If I were the commander of the Japanese army, I would choose Huainan and Dabie Mountains as the front to launch the attack.

The advantage of this combat plan is that after the Battle of Xuzhou, the various units of the Japanese North China Front Army have formed the current combat situation in order to pursue the main force of the National Army in the Xuzhou area, and the attack distance is relatively short. "

"The disadvantages are equally obvious. The rough mountain roads affect their logistics."

The headquarters' offensive plan was to take down Wuhan before early autumn.

This group of Japanese devils before the Battle of Wuhan started.

In fact, a rough calculation has been made on the resources needed to capture Wuhan.

Not only is the military expenditure astronomical.

The amount of military supplies consumed is also astronomical.

They maintain a military presence in the occupied areas and ensure public security and the transformation of productivity.

It is also necessary to recruit more than 200,000 new troops.

The impact on their logistical pressure is even more serious.

The Japanese devils themselves are an island country with scarce resources.

At present, they don’t even have time to build and develop the occupied areas in North China.

What they wanted was to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Forced Chiang Kai-shek to surrender.

But obviously, the calculation was wrong!
"The Japanese army was fighting in the Jiangnan region, and their logistics supply line still had water transportation. For them, there were disadvantages, but not many. The water network was dense, and there were many ponds and lakes. Their mechanized and motorized troops could not be mobilized quickly.

Just, you see.

Now that the Madang Fortress has been lost, it is bound to lead to the Japanese invaders' Hata Detachment, the Marine Corps and other corresponding attacking forces successfully opening up a forward base."

Zhang Dayun looked worried: "Wuhan is actually in a precarious situation right now."

"Yes, our chances of winning this battle are very small, even negligible."

Chu Yunfei felt helpless.

This is the gap in national strength. Even though he knew that the Japanese army would be unable to launch a full-scale attack after capturing Wuhan.

It is even known that in order to ensure the capture of Wuhan, the Japanese invaders formed a new 11th Army.

It was commanded by General Okamura Yasuji and included the 6th Division, commanded by Inaba Shiro; the 101st Division, commanded by Ito Masayoshi; and the 106th Division, commanded by Matsuura Junrokuro.

Hata Detachment, commander Hata Shigeichi.

In order to enhance the military strength of the Central China Expeditionary Army, they also made a series of adjustments.

But what Chu Yunfei didn’t know was.

Because the Kuomintang troops retreated too quickly in this battle of eastern Henan.

As a result, Terauchi Hisaichi's plan to encircle and annihilate the main force of the National Army in eastern Henan Province suffered another Waterloo.

This resulted in officers led by the 10th Division Commander Renjie Jigu being held accountable during a brief window of time.

The commander of the 10th Division, Lianjie Jitani, was dismissed and ordered to return home.

The commander of the 10th Division was the old Japanese named Yoshio Shinozuka.

At the same time, in order to ensure victory in the Battle of Wuhan.

The Tokyo Imperial Headquarters even incorporated the entire Second Army into the combat sequence of the Central China Expeditionary Army to form a northern combat force.

Second Army.

The commander is Prince Toshihiko Higashikuni.

The Japanese royal family, the planner, executor and promoter of the Nanjing Massacre.

He is also the one Chu Yunfei wants to kill the most.

It is under the command of the 10th Division, whose commander is Yoshio Shinozuka.

The 13th Division, commanded by Dizhou Libing.

and the 16th Division, led by Nakajima Imago.

Whether it is from the perspective of personnel deployment or material preparation, if we only consider it from a military perspective.

At this time, the Japanese military strength in China had gradually reached its peak, with the number even reaching nearly 800,000.

The Japanese army that directly participated in the Battle of Wuhan had nine divisions, about 250,000 troops, more than 100 ships, and over 400 fighter planes.

In the Battle of Xuzhou, Chu Yunfei could see hope of winning.

During the Battle of East Henan, he even dared to pull out the tiger's teeth.

Battle of Wuhan.

Even if you move forward steadily, you cannot guarantee that your resources will not be completely consumed in a battle of such intensity.

By the time.

The battle could not be won and all the soldiers were killed.

He Chu Yunfei returned to Shanxi again.

How should we face the folks of Shanxi?

In fact, at this position, Chu Yunfei has more things to consider.

When the soldiers return to Shanxi, they naturally feel like they are returning home.

They are more concerned about protecting the country and the people, and their fighting capacity is stronger.

To put it bluntly, returning to Shanxi means returning to our own territory.

Everyone around you is your own people!
Whether it was the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, or the Central Army headed by Wei Lihuang.

Those are all trustworthy troops.

Instead of having to worry about the troops on your flank collapsing first and leaving your troops behind to take the blame.

more importantly.

Previously, during the defense of Lanfeng.

The cheat code has been upgraded to a new level, and a new sub-module function has been enabled.
This is also one of the reasons that prompted Chu Yunfei to speed up his return to Shanxi.
Well known.

Chu Yunfei's system cheat code has only had the function of a three-dimensional combat map.

This time, the number of Japanese troops annihilated by the troops exceeded 60,000.

Not only has the level of the three-dimensional combat map been upgraded from LV4 to LV5.

A series of new auxiliary functions have been enabled and the map radius has been increased.

The new submodule of the system is also opened
