Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 31 Promoted to Major General? Transferring the 358th Regiment to Yangquan
Chu Yunfei didn't have time to wonder.

Chu Yunfei, who had just returned to the regiment headquarters and was preparing to hold a combat meeting.

Then he heard the guards report that General Liu Fei wanted to see him.

Chu Yunfei immediately walked out of the meeting room and greeted Liu Fei who was already standing at the door.

At this moment, Liu Fei's eyes were full of admiration.

Yang Congyun, who was standing by, was holding a brand new yellow-green major general's uniform in his hand.

Chu Yunfei naturally recognized it at a glance. It was the color of the Central Army's uniform.
"Captain Liu, what is this?"

"Captain Chu, the chairman commends you for your contribution to the war of resistance at Ru Yuekou and promotes you to major general. This is the military uniform."

Chu Yunfei took it with both hands and rubbed it subconsciously. It felt really good, at least the material was solid.

See Chu Yunfei take it.

The flash of surprise in Liu Fei's eyes was caught by Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei looked serious, shook his head and refused, "The victory at Ruyuekou was the result of the hard work and courage of all the officers and soldiers in the unit. I should not accept this honor as an individual."

"Please take this dress back, Mr. Yang."

Liu Fei looked at Chu Yunfei in silence, and Chu Yunfei also responded with silence.

After a few minutes.

General Liu Fei spoke again: "Captain Chu, have you thought it through?"

"This victory belongs to all officers and soldiers, not just me. They are the creators of the victory at Ruyuekou. They are the heroes. I, Chu Yunfei, do not deserve this honor."

Liu Fei no longer insisted, nodded, turned and left.

A group of officers behind him also gathered around at this time.

He kept calling him "Tuanzuo".

"Commander..this?"

Everyone was puzzled as to why he would refuse the official position that was already in his hands.

Nonsense, that bad guy Chiang Kai-shek was given the rank of major general in the Central Army.

Even if we really admire him and want to use him, where are the troops to lead him now?

Speaking of which, Chu Yunfei is actually the same type of person as the capable Qian Zhaoyou.

Compared with the powerful 358th Regiment.

He doesn't want to sit on the bench in the War Hall.

Even if there is a high probability of rapid advancement in the future.

Fang Ligong pushed up his glasses and at Chu Yunfei's signal, "Everyone, sit back and continue the meeting!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ligong stood in front of everyone, pointing at the battle map hanging on the wall with the tactical baton in his hand.

"At present, the Japanese invaders have launched attacks on Daixian, Gangxian and Yuanping."

"The Sixth Army, the main force of our Jinsui Army, is mainly responsible for the defense of the left flank, which is the Yangfangkou line."

"The Japanese invaders' intention is very clear, which is to continue to move south and occupy Taiyuan City."

Fang Ligong paused after he finished speaking and glanced at everyone.

The company commanders of the battalions below immediately started shouting.

"Fight the Japs to the end!"

Bian Fucheng slammed the table and shouted angrily, "These damned little devils."

"Commander, without orders, we should take the initiative to fight and kill these bastards as soon as possible!"

Chu Yunfei nodded slightly, signaling him not to get excited.

Then he turned and looked at Qian Bojun standing beside him.

"Qian Bojun, what do you think?"

Qian Bojun said without hesitation: "Commander, I think Captain Bian is right. As for whether to take the initiative to fight, it is up to you to make the decision."

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath, nodded, and looked at the second battalion commander Wu Ziqiang.

"What about you, Second Battalion Commander?"

"Commander, I advocate a fight. These little devils are too arrogant. They even want to occupy our Taiyuan!"

"Third Battalion Commander?" Luo Weiguo, a fat man, nodded seriously, "Commander, I also agree to fight. The situation is critical and we can't wait for orders any longer!"

"Captain Zhuo?"

Zhuo Tianyu was even more concise, with a medal hanging on his chest and a frown on his face: "Go!"

"Liang Guoping, it's your turn to express your opinion!"

Liang Guoping did not hesitate and analyzed clearly: "I think that the 14th Army is stationed in Xinkou, so there is no need to worry. However, the entire Shanxi Province has more than just the northern route to attack Taiyuan.

As the battles along the Jinpu and Pinghan railways continued to fail, the Japanese invaders were likely to advance westward from Niangziguan, attack Niangziguan, occupy Yangquan, and invade Shanxi along the entire railway.

By then, the Second Theater will inevitably be caught in a two-front war, and the war situation may not be optimistic by then. "

"Guoping is right. We must not be careless about the defense work on the front line of Niangzi Pass."

Chu Yunfei paused, and then continued: "In the previous battle of Ruyuekou, although our army had the advantage of being familiar with the terrain and geographical advantages, we still suffered heavy casualties. I think this has something to do with the Japanese invaders' control of the air."

"But whether it is the lack of heavy weapons or the lack of anti-tank weapons, it is not something we can solve in a short period of time."

Chu Yunfei's tone was calm, and what he said was the bloody fact.

"Everyone present here knows that mountainous terrain will limit the transportation and use of heavy equipment. Our army's mountain artillery imitates the Japanese mountain artillery and uses mule and horse transportation. They can certainly do the same, but fighting in the mountains can effectively limit their tanks and armored vehicles."

"I am going to ask Commander Yan for permission to cooperate with the Sixth Army in the battle."

After hearing Chu Yunfei's statement, Qian Bojun also expressed his concerns: "But Commander, it is true that building a defense line in the mountainous area has many advantages, but at the same time, our army's supply losses will also increase exponentially."

Wu Ziqiang was also worried: "In the previous battle of Ruyuekou, our army consumed a lot of ammunition, and up to now, it has not been replenished. The number of guns and bullets seized is not enough to make up for the loss. If we continue to fight like this, won't we lose all our wealth?"

"Yes, the supply of ammunition and fodder to the regiment will directly affect morale."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "You are right. As for where the Second War Zone Commander will send us to fight, that is not something we can control."

"Brother Ligong!"

Fang Ligong pushed up his glasses, stood beside Chu Yunfei, and bowed slightly: "Commander."

"Immediately draft a telegram to Commander Yan. Now my 358th Regiment has learned that the Japanese invaders are rampantly invading along the Tongpu Railway. I ask Commander Yan to let all members of my 358th Regiment rush to the front line to fight the Japanese invaders to the death and restore the glory of the Shanxi Army!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei then swept his gaze over the crowd again. This time, his face was murderous and his eyes were sharp.

"Everyone, in the battle of Ruyuekou, our 358th Regiment made a name for itself. The Japanese Suzuki Brigade is still resting in Datong. We have shown the style of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The battle is imminent. You must work together to overcome the difficulties!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up quickly, straightened their bodies, and said in unison: "Yes!"

Taiyuan.

Second World War Commander Headquarters.

Liu Tao personally delivered the telegram from the 358th Regiment to Yan Laoxi who had just finished a combat meeting.

"Commander Yan, telegram from the 358th Regiment."

Yan Laoxi took the telegram handed over by Liu Tao, read it carefully, and put it back on the table.

Fang Ligong's telegram was slightly polished, except for the request to fight.

He also mentioned that he had quietly reminded Yan Laoxi that he should pay more attention to the front line of Niangzi Pass.

This point coincides with the previous thinking of Yan'an.

The Yan'an side learned that the troops on the Niangzi Pass front were insufficient.

He also sent a telegram to remind him that Yan Laoxi's Niangzi Pass needed to continue to increase troops and set up defenses.

Yan Laoxi is not a fool, but he really has no troops to deploy now.

Prior to this, a large number of Central Army troops were still fighting along the Jinpu Railway.

But now, the troops he could mobilize were too few compared to the combat effectiveness of the Japanese invaders.

Huang Shaohong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Niangzi Pass front line in a time of crisis.

The original plan was to set out tomorrow to command the defense of Jingxing.
"Since the 358th Regiment has requested to fight, call Chu Yunfei back and head to the Yangquan front."

"Yes!"

"Staff Officer Li."

"Have!"

"Prepare ammunition and fodder supplies to fully supply the 358th Regiment!"
