"Unable to penetrate further?" Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Weiguo's slightly worried voice came out from the microphone: "Yes, the enemy's defense is extremely tight, and they have piled up a large number of troops at key roads."

"They also had some mortars for firing flares, and they had a lot of barbed wire and minefields."

"Our troops lack mine-clearing equipment and can only conduct sporadic reconnaissance activities at night."

"After being exposed once, the Japanese army strengthened their nighttime defenses and even launched flares irregularly... It became increasingly difficult for our army to infiltrate."

"During the past few days of infiltration operations, we have fought more than a dozen small-scale battles with the Japanese army, and we have barely been able to advance a distance of less than three kilometers. This three-kilometer-deep defense line is almost entirely made of bricks, cement, and even steel-reinforced cement. It is very difficult to destroy it."

obviously.

The Japanese have further studied their fighting style and made corresponding improvements.

Especially in guarding against infiltration operations.

The newly formed 37th Division almost achieved the ultimate.

On the phone, Zhou Weiguo described the situation in great detail.

The problems encountered in the current infiltration operation and solutions such as the lack of corresponding combat equipment were provided to Chu Yunfei one by one.

The combat engineering companies of each regiment are not without minesweepers.

However, due to insufficient equipment, most of the methods used were local methods.

Their main tasks are still digging, strengthening fortifications and other combat tasks.

As for opening up an attack channel, once the situation is urgent, the brothers can only use their bodies to roll thunder, and there is no other way.

Today, the newly formed 37th Division is now able to display capabilities that it should not have.

They built their defense like an iron barrel.

Rao are the elite fighters of the assault regiment.

It is difficult to obtain some useful information under the cover of night.

I'm used to everything going smoothly, and this is the first time that all my attempts have been thwarted.

Chu Yunfei naturally would not insist on attacking the Japanese army's extremely solid defense line.

They then set their sights on the northeastern part of Shanxi.

As the saying goes, if the west is dark, the east will be bright.

Since we can't get through to Gang County, we should find a way to attack.
"I understand. Abort the operation."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei hung up the phone, then turned around and stood in front of the battle map. "Send a telegram to Zhou Daxing's unit of the Fifth Infantry Regiment, ordering them to stop training. Also, call Chief of Staff Fang Ligong and Logistics Minister Liu Shuzeng, requesting that they fully replenish the Fifth Infantry Regiment."

"Yes!"

After a moment's silence, he met the gazes of Qian Bojun and Zhang Dayun.

Chu Yunfei continued, "The 11th Infantry Regiment cannot move. I'm worried that the Japanese will become angry and choose to attack the southeastern Shanxi region again."

"If we fight like this, we will actually kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of our own. Active attack is really not worth the cost for our army at this stage." Qian Bojun reminded.

"The Japanese troops in Lingqiu are no more than 800, and including the puppet troops, there are less than 2,000. We launched an active attack, which is in line with the Japanese's wishes."

The sound of a match striking through the matchbox could be heard.

Zhang Dayun took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth and continued, "I'm afraid it's unlikely to succeed if we actively divide our troops to induce the Japanese army to attack. Our army's distribution is actually very passive, especially after the capture of Lingqiu. If we want to stabilize the defense line, we need to send at least two more core regiments of troops."

Luo Weiguo also suggested at this time: "Besides, commanding the northeastern direction of Jin is also a troublesome matter. We need someone to go over and coordinate the overall situation and command any battles that may occur in the Lingqiu direction."

Qian Bojun did not want to launch an attack from this direction either: "The Second Independent Mixed Brigade in the Zhangjiakou direction is not something that our two core regiments can fight against."

From the current perspective.

What they said makes sense.

But Chu Yunfei had his own reasons for having to speed up the war, so how could he not understand these principles?

If it's a competition of consumption.

The Japanese army was supported by strong national strength.

Chu Yunfei's troops mostly needed to rely on assistance for their weapons and equipment, so naturally they could not outlast the Japanese.

Especially now the international situation is becoming increasingly severe.

The time was approaching April of 39.

There were only a few months left before the Germans and Soviets chose to take action against Poland.

Chu Yunfei is here.

Trade cooperation with the Soviet Union has only just begun, so there is no question of trust or distrust.

It's nothing more than a relationship of exploitation and being exploited.

For 38 years, the trade contracts between the two parties have been delivered normally.

The trade volume in 39 will most likely increase to 140 million US dollars (prepayment by the Soviet Union).

This year's orders have not been confirmed and the goods have not been shipped.

If it is delayed to the second half of the year.

The Soviets were preparing for war in Europe.

Most likely they would get some obsolete, second-hand goods from Poland's active service or warehouses to get rid of Chu Yunfei.

However, he would not dislike it.

After all, a good plaster is one that can draw out pus.

Today, the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau is still in the throes of equipment upgrading, and the output of weapons has been greatly affected.

Not only that, there is another very important reason why Chu Yunfei is always worried.

That is because the intensity of the Sino-Japanese battlefield has increased.

The war preparations of various countries were much more thorough than he remembered.

After the war broke out.

The Soviet Union and Germany did not go to war with each other.

There is no way that Britain and the United States would be nice to the Soviets.

This is bound to affect the subsequent cooperation between the three parties.

According to Chu Yunfei's understanding of Chang Ruiyuan.

There is a high probability that he will choose the British, French and American camp.

After all, the Russians have territorial needs.

Western countries have no territorial demands.

Chang Ruiyuan attaches great importance to this point.

Chu Yunfei didn't want to care too much about the relationship between them and their conflicts of interest.

What he was worried about was that it would affect the weapons and equipment that should have been delivered to the 88th episode and delivered to them!

This will have a huge impact on his next war plan!
The battle is fought on the basis that the situation is stronger than people, and no unexpected situations can occur.

Chu Yunfei briefly analyzed the current international situation for everyone present.

And he used some information he got from the Americans as an excuse.

It was clearly pointed out that the current situation in Europe is too tense and is likely to affect the subsequent delivery of equipment and corresponding supplies.

Qian Bojun and others looked at each other.

Zhang Dayun even said directly: "Should I go and keep an eye on the battle in Lingqiu?"

"Cao Potian will also go." Chu Yunfei shook his head and rejected Zhang Dayun's request. "Old Cao may not be willing to listen to me." Zhang Dayun nodded.

Cao Potian likes to lead the troops in battle.

Even the suicide squad tactics that the Central Army is most adept at using.

Only when the battle situation is tense will the division, brigade, or regiment commanders lead the charge.

Moreover, there are not many such commanders, and the death and injury rates are extremely high.

It is because of this that Cao Potian seems so different.

Chu Yunfei fell in love with the front line in order to command the battle.

Cao Potian's love for the front line is to lead the team to participate in the battle. There is an essential difference between the two...the danger is not at the same level.

Once some problems or mistakes occur, it will easily have a huge impact on the Fifth Infantry Regiment, a unit led by Cao Potian.

Chu Yunfei turned his head to look at Qian Bojun on the side and said, "Bojun, the battle in the Lingqiu direction is left to you to command."

Zhang Dayun has never served as a military commander and has always been a staff officer.

He couldn't suppress a battlefield warrior like Cao Potian.

Although Luo Weiguo has such command ability.

Chu Yunfei had also given orders to go to the Fourth Regiment to assist Pang Junming in command.

Except Fang Ligong who stayed in Changzhi area.

Qian Bojun is the only suitable candidate at the moment.

Qian Bojun nodded: "Okay, I'll leave immediately."

"Be careful on the road, I'll assign you a guard company"

Chu Yunfei turned and looked at Zhao Pengcheng who was standing beside him: "Let Zhu Xinlei and his guards escort us."

"Yes!"

After Qian Bojun saluted seriously, he left the command center with his new adjutant.

Jincheng.

Comprehensive training ground.

Headquarters of the 5th Infantry Regiment.

Bai Yongqiang, who had just been promoted to the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Sichuan Army (the 12th Infantry Regiment), was now staying at the headquarters of the 5th Infantry Regiment.

For the troops in training, today is Saturday, which happens to be their day off.

Bai Yongqiang brought a jar of good wine and came to the headquarters of the Fifth Infantry Regiment to reminisce about the past.

He himself was from the First Infantry Company and was an old subordinate of Bian Fucheng. He and Zhou Daxing were colleagues.

When Zhou Daxing was the platoon leader, he served as the deputy platoon leader in the next platoon.

The qualifications are barely enough.

The relationship between the two is pretty good.

At this moment, the two people at the table were obviously a little drunk.

The deputy regiment commander and supervisor Feng Wenxiang (the battalion commander who made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion of Liu Ruming's troops) continued to fill their cups as if watching the fun.

"I say, Lao Zhou, don't think that your superiors respect you by letting you be the head of the Fifth Infantry Regiment."

Feng Wenxiang raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Bai Yongqiang chuckled and said, "Just last year in Jincheng, Commander Chu gave me his service pistol as a gift."

"You're just bragging. Commander Chu has only given out two pistols. One to the Chief of Staff and one to Adjutant Sun." Zhou Daxing naturally didn't believe it. He skillfully picked up the peanuts on the wine tray.

"Hey, don't really not believe it." Bai Yongqiang immediately slammed the box gun on his waist on the table: "This is the gun. When it was given to me, the commander was there. I had lived a hard life for half a year before. The whole detachment, including me, the detachment leader, didn't even have a gun."

Zhou Daxing picked up the pistol that Bai Yongqiang had placed on the table, feeling nine parts envy and one part jealousy.

He wants it too!

"Do you know what the folks called me at that time?"

"Captain, no gun!" Bai Yongqiang chuckled, "You know how difficult it is to lead new soldiers, especially when they go from carrying hoes to carrying guns."

"But in just one year, the Jincheng Detachment has become the current Sichuan Army Regiment, a formal unit!"

"I heard that Commander Chu originally wanted to send me to the Shanxi Army Officers School (Jinnan Military Academy) for advanced training, but later he was too busy and it was delayed."

"Is it the general officer class that Commander Qian is the chief instructor of?"

Bai Yongqiang nodded proudly: "Of course."

Zhou Daxing was even more envious at this time: "Damn it, why don't I have this good luck."

"You are doing pretty well. I heard from my elder brother that you will most likely become a deputy division commander in the future! The Fifth Regiment, what kind of unit is that? It is a heroic unit. Cao Yuncheng, the ruthless man, killed the Japanese regiment commander with three slashes. I heard that the colonel's head was rolling all over the floor..."

"Come on, which troop is not a heroic troop?"

Zhou Daxing was still very proud in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little regretful for not being able to accept the First Infantry Regiment.

"No matter how strong our Fifth Regiment's combat effectiveness is, aren't we now resting and training in Jincheng like you guys?"

Listening to Zhou Daxing's complaints.

Bai Yongqiang advised: "Don't think too much. The rotation training and reorganization work was decided at the meeting and is unlikely to change. If other situations arise in the front-line operations, your fifth regiment will definitely be transferred up."

Zhou Daxing naturally knew it in his heart.

The position of commander of the First Infantry Regiment.

Zhang Fugui is obviously more suitable than him.

After all, he was Qian Bojun's adjutant and confidant.

There is only one location.

A person who has served as a team leader will become a deputy team leader and supervisor.

It was impossible for Chu Yunfei to make such an arrangement.

The Fifth Regiment is already the best personnel appointment at the moment.

Gong Yuxin's (formerly combat staff officer, later transferred to the 9th Infantry Regiment as deputy commander, and later became a regular commander after Zhou Daxing was transferred) qualifications were obviously insufficient, but after all, they were both from the Shaanxi Army.

Chu Yunfei's move.

It was also to prevent the Shaanxi Army from gathering together.

When there is only one dominant company within the company.

It can effectively avoid unfair internal competition.

Basically everyone will subconsciously move closer to the Jin Army.

With Chu Yunfei here, although it's not fair, it can at least take care of all parties.

At least the internal situation is currently in a dynamic balance and no problems will arise in the short term.

Just as the two continued to brag.

The correspondent hurriedly stood outside the reception room.

"Report."

"Come in."

"Urgent message from the frontline command!"
