Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 390: The Battle of Xiaobao Village! Madman, Chu Yunfei is simply a madman! (Subscribe)

Da da da~~!

At that time, the sound of machine guns was heard from time to time above Xiao Baozhuang.

As if telling the Japanese.

The soldiers guarding the position have not all died!
The Japanese army launched four charges, all of which were repelled.

The dusk dyed the crater blood red.

Shen Yunliang's originally capable and handsome face was full of fatigue.

As the Japanese army was repelled again.

The original burnt aroma was soon covered by a fishy smell.

Half a piece of intestine covered with blood was hanging from the tip of the bayonet of the Zhongzheng rifle in his hand.

There were some flies hanging around which was quite annoying.

The messenger who had fought with him for several months had already been killed in the second round of attack by the Japanese invaders.

The second messenger died fifteen minutes ago.

The soldier who walked towards him was already the third company commander's messenger of the 6th Company of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 4th Infantry Regiment.

"Captain, we have checked all the people, and there are only 38 left."

"It's getting dark. Once it gets dark we will withdraw and the mission will be successfully completed."

Shuisheng took out the cigarette in his hand and handed it to Shen Yunliang, then picked up a piece of wood beside him and handed it forward.

Shen Yunliang smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Captain, the bodies of our brothers"

Shen Yunliang's eyes dimmed when he heard this: "It's too late to take it away..."

Staying here would be more like a battlefield of defeat.

Rather than a carefully prepared retreat.

Only in this way can we deceive these damn Japanese devils.

Shuisheng leaned against the trench in silence and sighed.

Shen Yunliang didn't say anything.

He just smoked the cigarette in his hand in silence.

suddenly.

An observer suddenly yelled, "Flare to the north!"

As the gunner quickly reloaded and fired.

The rapid launch of flares.

The soldiers who were ready for battle only then saw it.

A group of Japanese soldiers had crawled to within a hundred and fifty meters of them.

They were completely naked, with only a black butt bag left on.

Their bodies were painted black with an unknown dye.

It is difficult to detect in the dim light of the evening.

"Grass!"

The roar of the Maxim machine gun sounded again.

The Japanese army knew they were exposed and suddenly stood up and launched a final charge.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl was blown open on the back of the leading Japanese soldier.

Shen Yunliang had used up all the bullets in his rifle, lowered his head and leaned back in the trench, reaching to the right and rear: "Shuisheng, grenade~!"

"Aquatic~Grenade~!"

After calling out twice, Shen Yunliang's heart tightened, as if he had realized something.

He turned around to look at Shuisheng, who was already dead, and cursed angrily: "Fuck you!"

He quickly found a grenade box nearby.

Shen Yunliang threw the last few grenades.

The half arm that flew up in the firelight was wearing the shoulder straps of the rank of sergeant.

The whistling sounds of Japanese grenade launchers followed one after another.

Boom! Boom!

The explosion sounded again.

Boom~!

Shen Yunliang only felt his head sinking and then he fainted.

"Captain? Captain?"

The second platoon leader realized that the situation was not good, and immediately called out to several brothers around him: "Throw all the grenades, don't let the Japs rush over, grass dogs, grass dogs, go see how the company commander is doing!"

The second-in-command, more senior officer, quickly took over the battle command.

The Japanese invaders, having failed in their sneak attack, launched another large-scale attack.

The tank began to move forward.
"Damn it, you can't even see clearly, yet you're driving a tank. Aren't you afraid of crushing your own people?"

"These sons of bitches are bastards!"

After checking Shen Yunliang's condition, the young soldier named Cao Gou said loudly: "Platoon leader, the company commander was knocked unconscious, but he is still breathing~!"

"Old Xie, it's almost time, let's retreat, or we'll all be killed!"

"Cao Gou, Dasheng, you two hold the company commander and go first. I'll cover you!"

The second platoon leader named Lao Xie made the final arrangements after replacing the last magazine in his Thompson.

Boom~!

Da da da~!

The battlefield is not the time to be indecisive.

Being too procrastinating will not only kill yourself, but also kill everyone!

"go!"

"Platoon leader, we're waiting for you at the evacuation point~!"

"Got it, get out of here~!"

One on the left and one on the right, together with the remaining two soldiers, they formed a guard formation.

Carrying Shen Yunliang, they quickly evacuated to the southeast.

Not long after, several loud noises were heard again from the position.

The gunshots began to become sparse.

Dasheng frowned: "Old Xie died..."

"Grass dog, why are you silent?"

Dasheng turned and looked at his comrades.

Only then did he realize it.

The little soldier named Cao Gou was already in tears: "Thank you, brother!"

Dasheng sighed in his heart
Xie Weimin is from Shaanxi like them.

From a veteran of more than ten years.

When Xie Weimin was a veteran, he didn't talk much, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes when he looked at them.

Later, he was promoted to squad leader because of his military achievements.

After becoming the squad leader, Xie Weimin took good care of them.

We talked more than when we first met.

It was also from that time.

Xie Weimin told him.

He said he had never fought a battle where everyone was rushing forward and no one was running back.

No one is afraid of death.

This battle can be won.

Being an officer is really interesting... Unlike before, when fighting, the veterans would trick the new recruits into charging forward, while they would stay behind to support them.
Dasheng rubbed his nose. As a deputy squad leader, he couldn't cry like a soldier.

"Ahem~!"

"Don't choke, grass dog."

"Put me down..." Shen Yunliang's slightly weak voice sounded: "Brother Weimin, what's wrong?"

"Brother Xie sacrificed himself." The sobbing voice of Cao Gou was heard.

Just as Shen Yunliang was about to say something to comfort him, he heard an angry curse: "Damn it, who said I'm dead?"

Xie Weimin and a group of soldiers chased after them and said: "Detonate all the remaining explosive packs on the battlefield. That will be enough to make these bastards pay."

Xie Weimin knocked on the head of the soldier named Cao Gou and said, "Not only did I not die, I also brought all my brothers out."

Shen Yunliang grinned, looking a little relaxed: "Thank you, Platoon Leader, I'll leave it to you next..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted again.

Xie Weimin was startled. "This shouldn't happen. What's going on?"

After a quick check, he found shrapnel in the lower back.

"Your mother~! Hurry up, evacuate quickly, send to the hospital, there is still hope~!"

When the Japanese army's tattered military flag was planted on the Xiaobaozhuang position.

The front of the military flag is covered with holes visible to the naked eye.

"Report. The battle at Xiaobaozhuang has ended. The Japanese army has now broken through our defense line."

Zhang Dayun walked over quickly, and under the kerosene lamp, the contents of the telegram were clearly visible.

Chu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief: "First Battalion, Sixth Company, Captain Shen is my junior, is he still alive?"

Zhang Dayun shook his head: "I don't know."

"With a force of about 200, they held off a Japanese force five times their size for six hours."

Seeing Chu Yunfei's silence, Zhang Dayun added: "They are heroes."

"Yes, there are no puppet cavalry joining the battle in this direction. There are only Japanese cavalry units, and they are all fighting against the elite troops of the Japanese army."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong moved quickly.

Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong who was walking quickly towards him: "Brother Ligong, what's the latest situation?"

"There is good news and bad news..." Fang Ligong looked solemn.

"bad news"

"The latest intelligence is that the Japanese 20th Division has completed its reorganization and is currently using the railway to quickly assemble in the direction of Handan."

Chu Yunfei was stunned.

He had taken the Japanese from the 20th Division into consideration.

I just didn't expect it to be so fast.

PS: The replenishment cycle of the permanent division is longer, and they are usually transferred back to the country for replenishment and rest for half a year before returning.

Three months later, he was back on the battlefield.

These are a bunch of bastards.

I really intend to fight them to the end.

"Our intelligence in this area is indeed insufficient. If the 20th Division of the Japanese Army launches an attack, our army may have to use the strategic reserve originally planned to defend the northern Shanxi region in advance."

Chu Yunfei nodded.

This strategic reserve force is none other than Chen Zejun's 7th Infantry Regiment, which has initially completed the replacement of its equipment with American weapons.

Its original defense mission was handed over to the 8th, 9th and 13th Infantry Regiments.

If the Japanese army chose to attack in the direction of Changzhi via the Chang-Handan Highway.

Except the 7th Infantry Regiment can join the battle of the 9th Army.

It is also possible to draw a troop from the three infantry core regiments responsible for the defense of Niangzi Pass to go south to reinforce.

The 13th Army can also continue to draw some troops to strengthen the areas around Changzhi.

Basically there won't be too many mistakes or problems.

It's bad news, but there are still ways to deal with it.

If it doesn't work, let Fan Hanjie's 27th Army take over.

This troop is currently resting in Wutai area.

They were originally planned to be used in the battle in the Pingxingguan direction, but now it seems that they will be transferred back. The combat effectiveness of the 27th Army is not weak, and the commander is also a famous general.

Chu Yunfei thought very quickly, which seemed like only a few seconds to others: "What about the good news?"

Fang Ligong smiled and said, "According to the telegram from the 18th Group Army, they plan to launch an unprecedented round of raids on the enemy-occupied areas in North China according to the battle plan agreed upon by both parties~!"

"Among the targets of this attack is the Pinghan Railway, which is used by the 20th Division for rapid maneuvers."

"As long as they succeed in breaking the attack, we can say that the Eighteenth Army has solved a big problem for us by accident."

Hit by accident?

The 18th Group Army has always done a good job in intelligence work.

This is their magic weapon for survival.

I am afraid.

It is very likely that they have learned that the 20th Division of the Japanese Army will assemble in Handan from the Pinghan Railway direction.

If everything goes well.

The Japanese 20th Division is likely to miss this battle.
"Brother Ligong, I'm afraid we can't pin our hopes on the 18th Group Army. We still have to prepare for defense and mobilization."

Fang Ligong nodded and volunteered: "With you here at the front, there shouldn't be any problems. As for Changzhi..."

“We really need to transfer someone back.”

Chu Yunfei pondered for a long time.

There aren't many candidates.

In fact, it is a choice between Qian Bojun and Fang Ligong.

Think about it.

I think it would be more appropriate for Qian Bojun to go back.

Here, Qian Bojun can take on the job.

And Fang Ligong's work.

If Fang Ligong is not here.

Basically, it is up to the combat department to digest it.

It is bound to affect some work efficiency.

Besides, Chu Yunfei didn't want to do the job of a staff officer.

It’s not that Chu Yunfei wants to be lazy.

Rather, the work of a staff officer itself requires a lot of mental and physical energy.

This will affect how many times he can use his skills.

"Let Bojun take charge of the battle command in Changzhi. Brother Ligong, the battle in northern Shanxi is crucial, and I need you to be by my side to help me."

Fang Ligong was startled, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and inform Brother Bojun..."

The Japanese armored cavalry group's full-scale counterattack also launched an attack in the direction of the 14th Army's attack.

The Hunyuan County, which was used as a fulcrum in the original battle plan, could not be captured.

The vanguard of the 14th Army, which lacked anti-tank weapons, was badly defeated.

Fortunately, Guo Jiqiao acted promptly and sent reinforcements immediately to block the hole.

The battle line was deadlocked in Ying County and surrounding areas.

The 14th Army Headquarters.

"General, our situation is not very good. Currently, the 14th Army has suffered 6,000 casualties... In today's defeat alone, the estimated loss of troops is more than 2,000, and a large amount of weapons and equipment has been lost."

This matter is not Li Mo'an's responsibility.

They are such infantry units.

No matter who is in command.

Even the armored cavalry units of the Japanese army could not withstand the head-on collision.

The area where they fought was called the Datong Basin.

There are many alluvial plains and a large amount of flat terrain, which is not much different from the plain areas.

And suitable for the deployment of mechanized troops.

Guo Jiqiao knew clearly that no matter who was in charge, the effect would be the same.

just.

If Chu Yunfei had been prepared for this, he was actually using their 14th Army as bait.

But the current battlefield situation does not prove this.

It was as if Chu Yunfei was using his first and fourth, two truly main force groups, as bait.

And the 14th Army, the main force of their 14th Army Group, seemed to be just a by-product.

"The left wing defense line has been breached and is currently being penetrated towards the second defense line."

"If there is another breakthrough, Qian Bojun's army will be in imminent danger."

"Under such circumstances, why would you order a war of siege and annihilation?"

The teacher said with some contempt: "In my opinion, this is just a reflection of the moon in the mirror and a flower in the water. It is not realistic at all."

Guo Jiqiao frowned.

The battle plan that Chu Yunfei originally drew up.

He himself knows it clearly.

That battle plan did not take into account the existence of enemy armored and cavalry groups on the second line.

But now the Japanese army has launched a counterattack.

Chu Yunfei's order.

It's more like a step-by-step guide.

When the enemy has already counterattacked.

They are still required to continue according to the original battle plan.

Chu Yunfei expressed great optimism in his telegram.

The Japanese army has now fallen into their trap of luring the enemy deep into their territory.

They will encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops in the area south of Huailai.

They were required to use the 14th Army to tie down the main force of the 4th Mixed Brigade and attract part of the armored forces.

Reduce the pressure on their operations.

madman.

It's just a madman.

However, with only about 20,000 troops, it would be enough to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops of less than 20,000.

He even wanted to encircle and annihilate the enemy forces that were fighting against him.

This is simply a fantastic combat operation.

I don't know if it's just a way of making up for the loss of face after the front line was breached.

This battle plan.

It can't even be called bold, it's simply outrageous. It's a crazy battle plan.

Guo Jiqiao didn't even have a specific battle plan.

There were only orders given to him by Chu Yunfei.

As for the so-called encirclement and annihilation.

Is that really Chu Yunfei’s combat purpose and intention?

It always feels like a big pie?
Guo Jiqiao was also in deep worry at this time.

His position as acting commander-in-chief of the 14th Army Group was not stable.

The reason why he was appointed as the commander-in-chief.

It was also because of Wei Lihuang’s recommendation.

Plus the special relationship with Chu Yunfei's troops.

Chang Ruiyuan would let him take charge of the 14th Army Group.

If something really goes wrong in this battle.

There are many people who can replace him.

For example, Liu Maoen, who is currently serving as deputy commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army.

He was a classmate of the sixth term in the Baoding Department.

He is also a suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief of the army group.

This battle.

It not only concerns the future strategic situation and pattern of both sides in the entire Second World War zone.

It also represents whether the word "代" can be removed.

"Strictly follow the combat orders issued by the higher-ups, select a part of the elite troops, and advance towards Hunyuan in search of the enemy..."

Guo Jiqiao met the gazes of the army commanders and division commanders and continued, "But be careful not to extend too far, lest you be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy. Their chariots and cavalry are too fast, so don't take too many risks."

"Yes!"

Guo Jiqiao turned and walked towards the battle map not far away.

A group of army commanders and division commanders were whispering to each other.

Crazy~!

It's all fucking crazy.

Chu Yunfei didn’t know where he contracted mad cow disease, and the president went crazy along with him.

At a time like this, instead of thinking about shrinking the defense line and quickly retreating, he actually wanted to attack!
This is just nonsense.

They dared to complain and grumble to Guo Jiqiao.

But they did not dare to send a telegram to the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters to complain.

Who doesn’t know that Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei are wearing the same pair of pants?
Even such an outrageous order.

They could only carry out their orders while cursing.

If you are afraid of fighting and refuse to follow orders.

have to.

Judge Advocate General, please.

The headquarters of the commander of the Second War Zone was breached because of Xiaobaozhuang.

The lights were back on again.

Yan Laoxi was extremely anxious and paced back and forth in front of a group of senior generals.

Even if Chu Yunfei informed the relevant combat and action plans in advance.

Old Yan was still extremely worried.

The 1st and 4th Infantry Regiments are not just Chu Yunfei's main forces.

It is also a special force that has won honorary flags and honorary numbers.

Once something goes wrong.

Not only will Chu Yunfei fall from the altar, but it will also be a huge loss to the morale of the entire nation's military and civilians in the war of resistance.

Yang Aiyuan and others were at a loss at this time.

Because they didn't think that the Japanese army would hide an armored cavalry group north of Datong.

After the counterattack, they were dumbfounded.

The information that the Japanese 20th Division had ended its rest and reorganization was like a bolt from the blue to them.

A whole day's work.

They were also unable to come up with a reasonably complete solution.

There are no redundant troops, and each unit has corresponding tasks and defense areas.

The war situation worsens?

Chu Xichun held an opposing opinion: "Commander Yan, there is no need to worry too much. Chu Yunfei had reserved a corresponding strategic reserve before the war. As far as I know, the 7th Infantry Regiment led by Chen Zejun has not received any orders yet. I think Yunfei should be confident."

"Harunami... these are hundreds of tanks, thousands of cavalry, and the 3rd and 4th independent mixed brigades of the Japanese Army... Even with the support of the 14th Army on the right wing, Yunfei will have to face at least 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops."

"Yun Fei's troops have been fighting hard for more than two months, overcoming difficulties and conquering three cities in a row. I'm afraid they don't have much artillery shells in reserve."

"The most critical thing is that the enemy has air support, so our artillery cannot be used freely...the little advantage in artillery fire cannot be brought into play at all."

Yan Laoxi thought about it and came up with an idea: "Why not let Yunfei retreat to the line from Yangfangkou to Pingxingguan, at least we can not lose the Jinzhong area..."
