Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 316: Attack without spectators; Yamamoto Ikki "successfully" destroyed the th Army Headquarters?

When the Japanese officers were dragged off the car.

Zhou Weiguo's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace and step forward to confirm.

The military ranks of these Japanese devils basically remained at the level of major and lieutenant colonel.

There wasn't even an officer with the rank of colonel, let alone a general.

"All of them are lieutenants?"

"They seem to be low-ranking officers, and some are lieutenants, not many, and the rest are all soldiers."

Zhou Weiguo looked up at the sky at this time: "Could it be the devil's bait?"

I looked up and looked around for a long time.

The expected Japanese air force did not appear.

"If these little devils are soldiers who changed their clothes, then in which direction is the main force of the Japanese army?"

The battle on Xu Hu's side had not started yet.

After the battle started, these Japanese devils didn't even have time to escape.

The tail end of the pocket formation didn't even participate in the battle.

All this is very unreasonable.

Even this group of so-called officer corps guards.

The size is only about that of a squadron, or even less.

This made Zhou Weiguo even more confused. Was this really the officer corps mentioned in the intelligence?

"Captain, there seems to be someone alive here."

"Live?"

Hearing Wei Dayong's voice, Zhou Weiguo walked over quickly.

Deputy Captain Liu at the side hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Help them clean up the battlefield and tell the soldiers not to take anything."

"Yes."

Liu Wei also followed.

Next to the burning wreckage of a car.

A car soldier who had managed to survive had a rather immature face and was trembling like a frightened quail.

Zhou Weiguo glanced at the bleeding wound on his leg and signaled to the medic beside him with his eyes.

Wei Dayong understood what he meant and stepped forward to completely control the Japanese.

All equipment on him that could be used as a weapon was removed.

Then he pressed it to the ground.

The medic moved quickly and efficiently and stopped the bleeding.

The rough action made the little Japanese soldier howl in pain.

Zhou Weiguo then asked, "Name, serial number, cooperate with our inquiry, and I won't kill you."

The moment I heard Japanese.

The little Japanese soldier's eyes lit up subconsciously.

Authentic Kyoto accent.

But when they saw Zhou Weiguo's military rank, the Japanese soldiers numbly reported their names, numbers, and rank.

"Yamatoda Akifu, 3rd Squadron, 3rd Motor Vehicle Regiment, Private First Class."

"Captain."

Wei Dayong quickly found the relevant documents on him.

Zhou Weiguo took a quick look and found that the information recorded was no different from what the Japanese had said.

"How old are you?"

"nineteen."

Zhou Weiguo handed back the documents and then asked, "Do you know who the officers in these trucks are?"

Yamatoda Akifu shook his head. "I don't know, but the squadron leader ordered us to slow down for safety. The people in the car were officers I had never seen before."

“Is there anyone who got off the bus or didn’t take the bus?”

Yamatoda Akifu shook his head again: "I don't know, but I've never stopped the car."

"When did you receive the mission?" Zhou Weiguo frowned and asked.

Asked for a long time.

The information the Japs dictated was basically worthless.

After Zhou Weiguo asked a dozen questions.

Then he asked Wei Dayong to escort him away.

not far away.

"boom."

When gunshots rang out, Wei Dayong dragged the Japanese soldier's body back and threw it directly into a big pit not far from the road.

The flames burned fiercely and the Japanese soldiers' bodies crackled as they were burned.

Deputy Captain Liu, who was not far away, was extremely surprised, but chose not to say anything.

The Japanese who cooperated so well were still killed
It seems.

The troops under Chu Yunfei's command did not have the habit of taking prisoners.

The battlefield has basically been cleaned up.

The ambush troops in other places also retreated.

Everyone was a little surprised at how smoothly the battle went.

"Maybe we ambushed the wrong person?"

"It's not impossible. If there really is a corps of officers, they will most likely choose to take the train instead of a car. Besides, such a large-scale observation group cannot be just a group of lieutenants." Xu Hu thought of the young soldier's previous mumbling and added a sentence.

"How many lieutenants are there?"

"Fourteen"

There are some deviations between the time of these so-called officers' corps and the time indicated by the intelligence.

Even the so-called scale does not seem like a major operation.

"Xu Hu, draft a telegram to report to Commander Chu that the Japanese military officer observation group is relatively small and there are suspected omissions in intelligence."

"Yes!" Xu Hu turned and left.

Zhou Weiguo turned around and looked at Deputy Commander Liu standing beside him: "Deputy Commander Liu, I have asked people to prepare fifteen Type 38 rifles, one Type 11 light machine gun, and two thousand rounds of ammunition for you. Thank you for your hard work."

"No reward without merit, Captain Zhou, we didn't do much to help, so this time..." Deputy Captain Liu said frankly.

Apart from helping to clean up the battlefield, they basically did not participate in the battle.

In this situation, if so many weapons and equipment were taken away.

It would be hard to believe for anyone.

Zhou Weiguo waved his hand and said, "You can't say that. After all, we are all involved in this operation. You can take the things back and report to your superiors. In addition, the Changzhi Weekly Report will naturally describe your army's achievements. This is the consensus reached by Commander Chu and your commander-in-chief. We should not cause trouble for the commanders."

Deputy Captain Liu did not insist after hearing this.

Since the commander-in-chief and Chu Yunfei have already reached an agreement.

Then they just take the things back.

"Everyone, move towards Xingtang. Be careful to hide, do not expose your whereabouts, and pay attention to air defense."

"Yes!"

When the message was passed back to the 88th headquarters.

Chu Yunfei also frowned at this time: "Yamamoto Ikki's special operations are not without achievements. He has also destroyed several regiment and brigade-level command posts before."

Fang Ligong responded: "Could it be true as the frontline combat troops judged? If these large numbers of Japanese officers were actually on the train, then where was their combat target?

Linfen?

Or is it the 14th Army Headquarters in Qin County or the 13th Army Headquarters in Jiang County?"

Chu Yunfei thought carefully for a moment, then continued: "The Linfen devils were unable to infiltrate, so it is most likely the headquarters of the 13th Army or the 14th Army. Brother Ligong, please draft another telegram for me to remind them to pay attention to the safety of the headquarters."

"Yes!"

That night.

Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka received news from the North China Front Army Headquarters.

It has been confirmed that the whereabouts of the observation group were leaked and information was leaked.

This observation activity has been cancelled.

This made Yoshio Shinozuka feel helpless for a moment.

In Sugiyama Gen's eyes, special operations are not worthy of mention.

It is also because of this that there are no important officers in their officer observation group.

The sacrifice of more than a dozen officers made the North China Front Army more doubtful of Yoshio Shinozuka's ability to maintain and ensure the public security in the occupied areas.

After reading the telegram, Kusunokichi asked, "General, there are no spectators for this battle. What about Colonel Yamamoto and his men?"

"Yamamoto-kun is a proud imperial soldier. He knows what should be done."

Yoshio Shinozuka suppressed his indignation and gave his orders in the same tone as usual.

At this time, Yamamoto Ikki, who had already moved to the outskirts of Qin County, learned the news.

There was no hesitation.

A strong attack was launched that very night.

At Chu Yunfei's reminder.

Although the 14th Army Headquarters had strengthened its guard, it was still somewhat caught off guard by the sudden attack. The battle between the two sides was quite fierce.

Even the field troops stationed in the surrounding areas began to send troops to provide support.

just.

The combat effectiveness of the expanded Yamamoto Special Forces far exceeds that of the Yamamoto Special Forces in the original plot.

He was able to achieve a 0:200 casualty ratio against the main force of Kong Jie's Independent Regiment.

This is enough to show their combat effectiveness when facing third-rate combat forces.

However, such combat capability is still not enough to compete with the elite guard regiment of the Central Army.

Fifteen minutes of fighting.

Yamamoto Ikki and other talents barely broke through to the periphery of the command center.

As explosions and gunshots continued to ring out.

This group of Japanese devils succeeded in breaking into the headquarters of the 14th Army.

"Colonel Yamamoto, this place doesn't seem to be their headquarters."

Yamamoto Ikki had already reacted by now.

They fell for it.

There is a high probability that combat operations will be leaked in advance.

This was a trap set for their Yamamoto Special Forces.

The 14th Army Headquarters pointed out by this intelligence may have indeed been the location of a headquarters.

But now, it has become a trap for their Yamamoto Special Forces.

Knowing he had been fooled, Yamamoto Ikki turned around and emphasized sharply: "No, this is their headquarters. Do you understand?"

"Hai!"

There are few stupid people among the Japanese soldiers in Yamamoto's special forces.

Naturally, I know what Yamamoto Ikki cares about.

This group of Japanese devils did not hesitate at all.

Instead of continuing to fight with the guard troops, they chose to evacuate quickly.

The Ninth Army Headquarters was located in Qin County.

Upon receiving the news, he personally commanded the field troops stationed around Qin County to encircle the enemy.

After one hour.

The chief of staff returned and reported: "The general commander (Guo Jiqiao was the deputy commander-in-chief of the 14th Army at this time) and the enemy have broken through our encirclement and are nowhere to be found."

Guo Jiqiao was extremely surprised: "Thousands of people are chasing a small group of them, and they haven't been stopped yet?"

"No, the enemy is fully equipped with automatic firepower, and their weapons are advanced and their tactics are good."

"It's a bit interesting. It seems that what Chu Yunfei said is true. This group of devils must be the adjustment of the Japanese. They know that it is difficult to defeat our army in a frontal battle, so they came up with this method."

dawn.

Guo Jiqiao quickly arrived at the battlefield.

The bodies of the Japanese devils were piled up together.

As for weapons and equipment, they were neatly placed aside.

Guo Jiqiao quickly stepped forward and picked up the helmet of Yamamoto's special forces. "This helmet is quite interesting. It doesn't reflect light under the sun. It seems to be very helpful for their covert operations. The concealment net on it can help them conceal their bodies very well."

"The combat vests they wear seem to be specially developed, and are very suitable for hanging their grenades. In addition, each company seems to be equipped with an instant messaging phone, and they seem to be able to communicate effectively with each other."

Guo Jiqiao nodded, his face full of fear.

This time, they made sufficient preparations in advance.

This group of Japanese devils still broke into the 14th Army's headquarters outside the city with their powerful fighting power.

And successfully broke through the encirclement and suppression of the corresponding field troops.

If we hadn't received the intelligence and made preparations in advance this time.

Then at this time, he might have become a dead soul under the guns of these Japanese devils.

It’s a bit scary just thinking about it.

"The combat of these little devils seems to be more dependent on intelligence. If they don't know the location of our headquarters, then their so-called decapitation tactics will not pose much threat to us."

"But the existence of this knife is like a knife on our necks. If we don't annihilate them this time, we don't know when they will retaliate. Such an enemy is too scary."

The Chief of Staff is right.

Guo Jiqiao also frowned slightly at this time.

It is still quite difficult for the Japanese to infiltrate them.

Especially in terms of intelligence acquisition.

Yamashiro can obtain strategic intelligence from the Tokyo headquarters from all aspects.

But each field has its own specific tactics and fighting styles.

Sorry, I don’t know.

The Japanese combat troops kept their whereabouts and corresponding intelligence strictly confidential.

This is much better than the politicians in Tokyo.

On the other hand, the Japanese not only managed to get the location of the 14th Army headquarters despite the tight defenses in southeastern Shanxi, but were even able to launch a decapitation raid.

This is actually very scary.

"General, you should know that even the most elite assault regiment under Chu Yunfei's command cannot carry out such a precise decapitation raid."

"That's why we need to be vigilant." Guo Jiqiao nodded.

"General, should we also form a similar force? Not to mention the active attack, the main purpose is to ensure the safety of our headquarters."

"Don't think about it for now. When I went to inspect with Chief Wei, I talked about this with Chu Yunfei. With the manpower of the people in southeastern Shanxi, we can only support this small number of combat troops. The soldiers of this assault regiment basically have double shots."

When Guo Jiqiao said this, he smiled as if he was mocking himself. He raised his hat and looked towards the southwest: "How can we afford it?"

Episode 88 Headquarters.

Chu Yunfei stepped into the operations room.

Fang Ligong, Zhang Dayun, Luo Weiguo and others were already there.

"Did you still fight?"

"Well, the 14th Army suffered more than 600 casualties, leaving behind more than 130 Japanese corpses. However, compared to this incident, we have received news from other sources. The Japanese military has already begun its propaganda offensive against you, Lord Yun."

After Fang Ligong finished speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Chu Yunfei.

"Tell me what you think."

After Chu Yunfei took over the telegram and newspapers from North China.

Luo Weiguo was the first to express his opinion: "Mr. Yun, I think this unit is a real threat to us and the friendly forces in the Second War Zone. I advocate giving priority to finding an opportunity to annihilate them."

"We can set up bait, or even deliberately leak the whereabouts of our officers, or even place enemy scouts into southeastern Shanxi."

"It's a good idea, but it's difficult to execute and implement at the moment." Chu Yunfei nodded.

The idea is fine.

But it is very troublesome and troublesome to operate.

Yamamoto Ikki's performance in the drama is quite good.

He could deceive Yamamoto Ikki, but it would be difficult to deceive the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka.

Chu Yunfei knew this old devil very well. This famous Japanese general who was not very famous in the history of war, suffered some minor losses when he was in office during the encirclement and suppression of the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi.

There are no other defeats.

Moreover, his combat style is quite stable.

Chu Yunfei also knew Shinozuka Yoshio's combat style and tactical tendencies.

In addition, there was the war situation at that time and the formation of a strategic situation.

Only then was the Changzhi Campaign specifically planned.

We got the upper hand from these little devils.

The Japanese 114th Division was completely wiped out like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth.

The simple intention of luring and annihilating Yamamoto's special forces is not feasible given the current situation and circumstances.

It is a task harder than climbing to the sky.

"The current focus and priority is to restore the combat effectiveness of the main force. In the Niangziguan area, the 7th Infantry Regiment, under the command of Qian Zhaoyou, launched several attacks again, but due to the support of the Japanese Air Force, no effective progress was made."

"What if we just maintain the current front?" Zhang Dayun subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette when he saw Chu Yunfei staring at him.

Zhang Dayun's head shrank and he put the cigarette back.

"Since the battle line has reached a stalemate, there is no need for us to use the scarce artillery shells on this matter. Instead, we should use these precious war resources on future battles in other directions."

"And in a mountain battle... to be honest, the casualties among the soldiers will be huge. The Japanese now seem to be well prepared. It might even be better to split up the troops and conduct an infiltration-style assault."

Chu Yunfei nodded slightly and said, "Go on."

"There are many ways to train soldiers. According to our current battalion and company-level tactics, the basic combat unit is the squad, and the company-level small units are used as the basic offensive and defensive tactical units."

"Since this is a military training, we can let the company commanders conduct infiltration operations. The battlefield should not be limited to the direction of Niangzi Pass. Aren't there many puppet troops and Japanese troops stationed in Hebei?"

Chu Yunfei nodded: "You mean to split the troops and let them infiltrate the enemy's rear to carry out strong attacks, and use fighting as training. With the cover and support of the main force, the safety of the combat troops can be ensured."

Zhang Dayun nodded, and then added: "The most crucial point is that I think the Japanese in North China have been seriously injured and it is unlikely that they will take the initiative to attack us.

Our army has added a large number of new recruits. If we want to rely on conventional training to improve our combat effectiveness, we need another half a year of intensive training. The biggest difference between new recruits and veterans is whether they can make the most appropriate judgments and choices on the battlefield. This is something that is difficult to simulate in daily tactical training."

Fang Ligong also supported Zhang Dayun's idea: "The Japanese army really has no desire to attack and only wants to maintain the existence of the occupied area."

Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment and then made a decision: "I'll leave this matter to you, Dayun, but we have to wait a while and start the implementation after the New Year."

"Brother Ligong, go call Chief of Staff Qian and ask him to stop the combat operations in the Niangzi Pass area and instead strengthen the fortifications and stabilize the battle line."

"Yes!"
