Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 366: Entering Dragon City, the military song is loud and clear, shocking the world! (Subscribe)
Taiyuan City.

As the Japanese troops gradually withdrew.

The ordinary people in the city basically understood what was going on.

To sum it up in one simple sentence.

The Japanese felt they couldn't win and wanted to run away.

In order to avoid any unexpected events, Yoshio Shinozuka and the main force of the Shanxi First Army retreated quickly.

In just two weeks.

About 20,000 Japanese troops had evacuated 18,000 people.

Linfen.

However, there was a huge quarrel in the headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone over the order of the troops entering the city.

The Sixth Army Group will serve as the garrison for Longcheng, that is a done deal.

No one has any objection to this.

But the effect will be completely different if someone enters the city first or later.

Both Yang Aiyuan and Wang Jingguo wanted to let their old troops be the first troop to enter Longcheng.

Fighting back and forth.

Yan Laoxi finally made a decision: "No need to argue anymore, we are all on the same side so as not to hurt the relationship. In my opinion, let Yunfei send an infantry regiment that is good at street fighting to enter the city together."

Xie Ming heard this and continued, "Commander Yan, are you worried that the Japanese devils might have some tricks up their sleeve?"

Yan Laoxi nodded: "No one knows if these Japanese have any other tricks up their sleeves."

We have already sent someone to investigate.

Poison gas bombs and other things were also dismantled.

Currently, they have been destroyed (stockpiled) in a centralized manner as planned.

It is basically unlikely to pose any threat to the troops entering the city.

It's nothing more than wanting to give the honor of recovering Dragon City to the right person.

Chu Yunfei didn't argue, but Yan Laoxi knew what was going on.

When Yang Aiyuan and Wang Jingguo heard Yan Laoxi speak, they simply kept silent.

Naturally, your mood won’t be so good.

"Longcheng is the first strategic location to be recovered after such a long war with the Japanese. It is of great significance!"

Xie Ming finished his words with a smile, and then turned to look at Yan Laoxi who was standing beside him: "Commander Yan, when the army enters the city, someone will always be needed to maintain order, right?"

"It would be better to dispatch a battalion from the Sixth Army and a battalion from the Thirteenth Army to enter the city first to maintain order."

Yan Laoxi nodded with a smile: "Yufa is very thoughtful, let's do it this way."

"After everything is settled, the headquarters will also award corresponding honors to all the generals who participated in this war."

Yang Aiyuan muttered with a strange look on his face: "This medal is almost worthless because it was awarded by Chiang Kai-shek."

Yan Laoxi smiled and said, "You two have made great contributions in previous battles, and you will most likely be awarded the Blue and White Medal this time."

Wang Jingguo sat upright and said expressionlessly, "The frequency of awarding medals is getting higher and higher, and it's basically all in our Second War Zone. I wonder what other war zones think."

"You are just jealous of my reputation as a judge of people. What else can you say?"

"This time, we must create enough momentum for the Jin army. The chairman has already agreed, and Yan'an has even sent relevant reporters in advance. By then, all regions and most newspapers will vigorously publicize the achievements of our Second War Zone's counterattack on Longcheng."

"This battle is to show the world's great powers that we Chinese can win the war on our own!"

Yan Laoxi smiled lightly and said, "Before, he still placed his hopes on international mediation. Now, there will only be one winner in this war, and that is China."

He has already received a promise from Chang Ruiyuan.

He was in a very good mood at the moment. After all, Chang Ruiyuan was not qualified to go back on his word now.

the other side.

Chu Yunfei soon received a telegram from the Second War Zone.

The first wave of troops was scheduled to enter the city a week later.

There seems to be plenty of time.

But there are not many troops that can move quickly and in an organized manner.

The 1st Infantry Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment, which were confronting the Japanese mixed brigade in the northwest of Shanxi, were close, but there was no way to mobilize them.

The remaining troops are basically resting in the surrounding areas of Jincheng, Changzhi and Wutai.

Relatively speaking, only the 5th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment are suitable for organizational mobilization and are relatively close in distance.

The current head of the Fifth Regiment is Zhou Daxing.

The second commander is Liu Wang.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yunfei turned around and ordered to send a telegram: "Send a telegram to Liu Wang, asking him to gather the troops and lead them to Longcheng."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei has many brave generals under his command.

In the early days, there were warriors on the battlefield like Zhuo Tianyu and Bian Fucheng.

Subsequently, a number of brave generals emerged, including Zhou Daxing, Wu Dabao (died at Niangzi Pass), Liu Wang, and Cao Potian.

Liu Wang.

Same as Zhou Daxing and Bian Fucheng.

They are all fierce generals from the old first battalion.

The eighth company commander is good at fighting and likes to charge into battle.

His command ability was slightly lacking before, but now after two years of training, he has become more calm and able to stand on his own.

Very good as a commander.

This was the thing that left the deepest impression on Chu Yunfei.

That was when he wanted to choose one between Xue Jie and Liu Wang and promote him to be the battalion commander.

Liu Wang took the initiative to give in (Chapters 115-118).

As a deputy battalion commander, he assisted his old friend Xue Jie.

Chu Yunfei admired it very much.

During such a long battle.

Liu Wang's military achievements are still slightly inferior to those of the top generals under Chu Yunfei.

He has not been awarded the Blue and White Medal.

It just so happened that this was propaganda.

It can also add some luster to their resume.

It's like developing a collecting habit for games.

Chu Yunfei sincerely hopes that each of these warriors under his command can achieve the Grand Slam of Honor.
In the blink of an eye.

A week passed.

The first few batches of Japanese troops had left Jinzhong and were stationed in the areas around Zhangjiakou.

The Japanese army seemed to be implementing the relevant agreements reached earlier very well.

At least in the short term, judging from their deployment, they have no intention of continuing to invade the Shanxi region.

In Dragon City at this time.

Yoshio Shinozuka and his group stood at the door of the Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

Actually.

This damn old devil knows it very well.

Once they gave up Dragon City.

It's almost impossible to fight back again.

The Jin army was weak in succession and its grass-roots officers were almost extinct, making it impossible for them to continue launching attacks.

The Central Army under the Second War Zone had difficulty in replenishing itself, so there was nothing to fear.

Only this troop is commanded by Chu Yunfei.

The vitality is really strong.

Every time they make corresponding tactical innovations and corresponding tactical and strategic adjustments.

Chu Yunfei also responded quickly and proactively introduced large-caliber, highly mobile horse-drawn howitzers.

Among the intelligence obtained by the Japanese.

The M-2 howitzer did not have a horse-drawn gun carriage before!
Since tactics and strategies are no longer feasible to innovate in the short term.

Then make corresponding organizational adjustments and replace supporting weapons in order to maintain firepower advantage.

But it didn't take long for them to adjust.

Chu Yunfei's troops also made targeted adjustments in order to fight against them.

Decisive and quick.

There wasn't even any significant resistance from beginning to end.

In Yoshio Shinozuka's opinion.

It seems like the two sides are engaged in a long marathon race.

The two sides are like athletes who are constantly vomiting blood (the national strength of both sides does not support such a chase).

They knew that they could die suddenly at any time (both sides relied on exploiting their own citizens, but the Japanese had an additional occupied area to exploit).

But I can only keep running.

Chu Xichun caught the gaze of Yoshio Shinozuka.

At this time, he was standing not far away and said sarcastically: "General Shinozuka, this was originally the headquarters of the commander of my Second War Zone. There is nothing worthy of you Japanese to stay here."

Shinozuka Yoshio turned around and looked at Chu Xichun deeply: "Chief of Staff Chu, victory and defeat are common in the military. How can you predict whether this place will once again become the headquarters of our Japanese First Army?"

After Shinozuka Yoshio finished speaking, he turned around and left with a sullen look on his face.

The diligent translator relayed the message to Chu Xichun.

The major on the side raised his hand and gestured: "Chief of Staff Chu, please."

Chu Xichun walked briskly, not far behind Shinozuka Yoshio.

We got on the car and left Longcheng.

And as the last batch of Japanese troops left.

Part of the Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army, wearing the uniforms of the Jin Army, began to take over and carry out corresponding military management and began to maintain order in Jincheng.

The people had already heard the relevant rumors.

They spontaneously stood on the streets, ready to welcome the arrival of the garrison.

As the orderly footsteps came closer and closer.

"One, two, one, two, one"

The soldiers' steps were steady and powerful, and their arm swings were in unison.

Some officers and soldiers wore medals of honor on their chests that were awarded to them for their military achievements.

Under the sunlight, it sparkles with dazzling light.

Liu Wang was standing beside the soldiers at this time.

At this time, his military rank had been promoted to lieutenant colonel.

Compared to those officers and soldiers who have one or two medals hanging on their chests.

Having followed Chu Yunfei for many years, he has four military medals on his chest.

Two cloud banners and two precious tripods.

With firm and heroic steps, he led his troops into the gate of Longcheng.

"Okay!"

“What a spirit!”

"I heard that they are the troops under Commander Chu, and they are truly elite troops!"

"Do you see that reporter over there? It's from the famous Changzhi Newspaper. I heard that their president is that person's wife!"

"Those foreigners are here to see them, too, right?"

Standing next to the reporter from Changzhi Newspaper.

They were reporters from Havas who came specially from Xi'an, Reuters who came from Changzhi, and TASS.

This group of foreigners just like to hang out together.

It was quite conspicuous in the crowd and attracted a lot of discussion among the people.

"Of course. Everyone knows the famous Flying Tigers. Everyone gives them a thumbs up when they are mentioned. These foreigners must be here for them."

Liu Wang, who knew the procedure in advance, said loudly: "Stand at attention!"

The soldiers stood in unison in the middle of the road.

Liu Wang walked to the front and then stopped.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he remained calm and said in a loud voice: "National Revolutionary Army, Episode 88, Flying Tiger Attack Army - Second Infantry Regiment, Commander Liu Wang, is ordered by Commander Chu to guard Longcheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him took quick action.

They all held their guns tightly in unison.

The gun body gleamed with a cold metallic luster.

It looks particularly solemn under the sunlight.

They were dressed in neat military uniforms, the corners of their clothes fluttering gently in the breeze, and their eyes were staring firmly ahead.

The reporters standing on both sides of the road quickly pressed the shutter.

Countless classic photos that would win the Pulitzer Prize in the future are constantly being released.

After waiting for about thirty seconds.

Liu Wang estimated that the time was about right.

He turned to look at the group of officers and soldiers behind him: "Brothers, sing a song!"

"When the wind and clouds rise, the mountains and rivers move"

"The Whampoa Military Academy established an army with great momentum, and the revolutionary warriors were loyal to the end."

Some Jin army soldiers who were maintaining order couldn't help but look sideways.

They are also elite.

They are the elite troops of the Jin Army from the Sixth Army and the Thirteenth Army.

They are all elite.

But in front of their colleagues in the Flying Tigers Attack Force, they looked less like soldiers and more like local military police maintaining order.

A feeling of loss lingered in their hearts until the National Revolutionary Army's Army Song, which almost everyone could sing, sounded.

They also subconsciously followed suit and opened their mouths.

"We fought on the battlefields, and took the lead in pacifying the country and resisting foreign aggression."

"Sweep across the country, revive China, be invincible, and make great achievements!"

"Flags are shining, drums are beating, the army is majestic, loyal and disciplined."

"Mobile offensive, brave and calm, surprise attack, initiative and broad-mindedness."

"We are loyal to each other, united and strong, we will annihilate the enemy and sing a song of triumph."

at this moment.

The officers and soldiers had never imagined that the main street of Longcheng would be so long.

They finished singing Man Jiang Hong.

But still couldn't get past the long crowd.

We couldn’t reach the barracks in the city.

The people on the roadside had tears in their eyes and welcomed them with food and drink.

They are grateful and they are moved.

Liu Wang had dealt with similar matters before.

But the people of Longcheng are too enthusiastic.

They have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Liu Wang kept waving his hands to refuse.

"Fellow villagers, we can't accept it. We have to follow the rules!"

"I'm really sorry, we have rules."

"Eat and drink by yourselves!"

Liu Wang couldn't resist and continued to yell, "Brothers, let's sing another song. Let's sing the military song of our Flying Tiger Army!"

"I'll start!"

"Get up, fellow soldiers."

"Now is the time."

"The Japanese bandits robbed us of our land and killed women and children."

"Strike back against the Japanese invaders and recover our vast territory."

"We have defended Taiyuan and fought against Lanfeng."

"Together we walk, showing our loyalty."

"Niangzi Pass, stained red with blood."

"We are the iron fist of the country and the vanguard of the people."

"Grow up in battle, shoulder the expectations of the elders."

"We have rushed to Xuzhou and defended Wuhan."

"Jinpu Road, killing the enemy."

"Niangzi Pass, stained red with blood."

"We are the hope of the nation and the pioneers of the anti-Japanese war."

"We are the brave and invincible Flying Tigers."

“The pioneer of the nation.”

"We are the brave and invincible Flying Tigers, the vanguard of the anti-Japanese war!"

Inside Dragon City.

The loud singing voice resounds through the sky, and it sounds soul-stirring!
And at the back of the team was Yan Laoxi and his group.

He is now.

I even felt a little regretful for letting Chu Yunfei's troops go ahead.

He turned his head to look at Yang Aiyuan beside him: "Brother Xingru, what do you think of this army?"

"Elite soldiers and strong generals are unstoppable."

Such a grand occasion and such a vigor.

While the sense of security is full, the pressure is also full.

"Commander Yan, we are about to enter the city."

Yan Laoxi nodded, quickly put on a smiling face, lowered the car window, waved his right hand at the people on both sides of the road, and greeted them very kindly: "Hello~!"

"Commander Yan!"

"Commander Yan is here~"

Apart from some occasional greetings.

This group of people were still completely immersed in the scene just now.

No way.

The smile from the heart still continued, and Yan Laoxi was really happy to see these Shanxi people.

It was not until the car stopped steadily in front of the former Shanxi Pacification Office that the number of people welcoming them into the city decreased a little.

The old face of Yan Laoxi was smiling very stiffly at this moment.

The adjutant sitting in the front got out of the car quickly and opened the door for Yan Laoxi.

Yang Aiyuan, Wang Jingguo and others followed beside him.

He walked quickly towards the former Second World War Zone headquarters.

Xie Ming stepped forward quickly and said, "Commander Yan."

Yan Laoxi's steps were fast. He couldn't wait to return to his previous office. "Yufa, have the Japanese fully fulfilled the relevant agreements?"

Xie Ming responded: "Half of it has been fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi couldn't help but stop and asked: "What do you mean by half fulfilled?"
