Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 459: The command was issued, Chu Yunfei replied: My troops are in the north, why are they heading south? (Subscribe)

Late at night, a secret telegram arrived.

Sent from Taiyuan to the mountain city.

After receiving the telegram, Zhang Wenbai looked at the content of the telegram and was shocked for a moment.

Based on the intelligence currently obtained, Lin Wei comprehensively judged that the mastermind behind the assassination was most likely the Japanese army.

Secondly, based on the performance of Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei.

There is a high probability that Yan Laoxi is also involved.

Lin Wei was unable to produce evidence and was unable to continue the investigation.

Even Lin Wei himself had unfounded suspicions.

The one who did this was Yan Laoxi.

People like Shang Zhen, Xu Yongchang and Fu Zuoyi are all lessons from the past.

Even the loyal Yang Aiyuen was once ostracized by Yan Laoxi.
Zhang Wenbai is more inclined to believe that the Japanese army planned the assassination.

But considering the seriousness of the matter, Zhang Wenbai stood there in silence for a long time and thought of the appropriate wording.

Finally, he walked towards the chairman's office.

Second World War Zone Commander's Headquarters, Commander's Office.

On the other side, almost at the same time.

Chu Xichun knocked on Yan Laoxi's door.

bang bang bang~
The inner guard quickly opened the door: "Commander Chu, please come in, Commander Yan has been waiting for you."

Chu Xichun subconsciously quickened his pace and walked into the room: "Commander Yan."

Yan Laoxi also stood up quickly at this time, and then asked: "Any clues?"

Chu Xichun shook his head: "The identity of the killer cannot be verified. From the information we have sorted out so far, Ma Zixiang's people are not aware of this assassination, and the Military Control Commission does not have any evidence at all."

"Ma Ni is dead, so there is no evidence." Yan Laoxi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Director Lin is more inclined to believe that the Japanese army planned this assassination."

Chu Xichun naturally didn't believe it in his heart: "After all, after investigating the incident in which the Chairman was attacked at the summary meeting of the Southern Guangxi Campaign, many pieces of evidence pointed to intelligence leaks. Since the Japanese spy team was able to monitor the radio at Liuzhou Railway Station, it is likely that they were able to determine Yun Fei's transfer through some intelligence."

"If the Japanese army's intelligence could really reach the northwest inland, then why did they suffer consecutive defeats on the battlefield in North China?"

"To put it another way, even if the Japanese army has an unimaginable intelligence advantage, it will be difficult for them to defeat the main force in northern Shanxi?"

“How is this possible?
Yan Laoxi answered his own questions, as if he had already ruled out the possibility that the Japanese army was behind this incident.

The Japanese didn't do it, and Yan Xizhi himself didn't do it. The Wang Jingwei puppet government had just been established, so it shouldn't have been able to do this.

The answer is very obvious, it must have been done by Shancheng!

"Every time the Japanese army's poor command performance is used, Chu Yunfei's wisdom and ability are set off. If the Japanese army really had the relevant intelligence, they would still be beaten like this."

"Yun Fei is a great talent, and can even be said to be the Han Xin of today. In my opinion, there is no need to over-mythologize and flatter him. The current evaluation of Yun Fei's talent is still relatively objective."

Yan Laoxi said without hesitation: "I suspect that it is very likely that the Shancheng side has realized that the situation in North China is "rotten" and the Second War Zone is basically out of their control, so they are doing this now."

"It's not impossible..."

Chu Xichun was very aware of Chang Ruiyuan's desire for control.

Essentially, there is not much difference between the Commander Yan in front of him and Chang Ruiyuan in their desire for control of power.

These are all precedents, and whoever wants to seize the power in their hands will be suppressed to varying degrees.

But then I thought about it.

If it really wasn't done by Shancheng, who is the biggest suspect?

Think about it.

Then the only one left is Commander Yan in front of him.

Chu Xichun guessed: "I'm afraid that in the end, no one will be able to give a real explanation to the Second War Zone and Chu Yunfei."

But no matter which side did it.

The investigation is now stuck here and there is no progress.

No one can find the crucial evidence, and the final result of this incident should be to put the blame on the Japanese.

Yan Laoxi was furious. With the situation being stronger than him, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger: "Lao Jiang is too much of a bully. He knows that we are weak in Shanxi and tries every means to suppress us. He even called and asked if Yunfei should go to Shancheng for recuperation!"
-

In the blink of an eye.

Another half month has passed.

Chu Yunfei's health has almost recovered.

At this time, he, Zhao Pengcheng and Wu Ziqiang were standing in front of a battle map, discussing the battle situation in the fifth war zone in a low voice.

As for Sun Ming who was not far away.

He could only lie in bed and read the army textbooks that Chu Yunfei asked Wu Ziqiang to get from the Army University.

Although Chu Yunfei believes that these teaching materials do not have much substantive significance.

However, it is still a significant improvement compared to the textbooks compiled by Chang Ruiyuan at Lu University.

Especially after the fall of the Japanese-educated scholars who were only good at talking on paper, the level of these instructors at the Army University is still very good.

During this half month of recuperation.

The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, Yan Laoxi, came four or five times.

I would bring him something every time.

In order to entertain Chu Yunfei, he even asked someone to import a record player from abroad, which was a treatment that even his own son did not have.

Seeing that Yan Laoxi was always willing to help, Chu Yunfei tentatively asked for a battle map of the Ninth War Zone.

As he expected, Yan Laoxi rejected his request.

No matter how he asked about the battle situation outside.

Old Man Yan just refused to tell him. Instead, he smiled and told Chu Yunfei to focus on recuperating and not to worry about anything else.

And asked Chu Yunfei if there was anything he needed.

He was responsible for the purchase.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of it, Chu Yunfei gave up the idea.

However, when Chu Yunfei tried to ask Chu Xichun about the battle situation in other war zones again.

As soon as the old man Yan Laoxi learned about it, he gave Chu Yunfei a military order from the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.

There are eight big words written on it: Rest and recuperate, no matter what happens!
Chu Yunfei sighed.

In the end, he gave up the idea of ​​trying to get information from the Second War Zone Commander's headquarters.

Now that things had come to this, he didn't want to ask any more questions.

Fang Ligong, Qian Bojun, Zhang Dayun, Luo Weiguo.

Even Wu Ziqiang, who was studying at Lu University, asked Chang Ruiyuan for leave to visit him.

Although these people did not dare to tell Chu Yunfei directly that the situation outside was in chaos.

But under Chu Yunfei's indirect hint.

It also indirectly revealed a lot of things.

Especially Wu Ziqiang, who was standing next to him, explained the situation honestly.

Even if Chang Ruiyuan had given him instructions.

He did not hide it from Chu Yunfei.

From the perspective of the entire battlefield.

On the European battlefield.

The Germans were unstoppable.

Wu Ziqiang also revealed that according to the results of the analysis of the information obtained by Lu Da from the headquarters.

The instructors judged that there was a high possibility that a real war would break out between the Germans and the French.

In addition, after the offensive operations ended, the three war zones retreated to the level before the attack.

The Japanese army did not directly launch a retaliatory operation.

It was simply because the Japanese army had launched an attack against the main force cluster of the Five War Zones.

And at the request of the Fifth War Zone.

The Ninth War Zone and the Third War Zone also launched a "powerful" offensive against the Japanese army under the order of the Supreme Command.

Although there were attacks from the Ninth War Zone and the Third War Zone.

But it is far from being beneficial, let alone positive.

It's more like completing the task perfunctorily.

at the same time.

Wu Ziqiang also brought Chu Yunfei some unexpected news.

He heard that the Japanese army was trying to make up for the lack of combat troops in the 11th Army.

The 4th Division in the Kwantung Army's combat sequence was specially drawn to reinforce the 11th Army.

This force is a permanent elite main force stationed in Jiamusi, Heilongjiang.

It is very famous in history.

The Osaka Division is also known as the Merchant Division.

Although it is a permanent elite force, its combat effectiveness is average.

It’s not that they can’t fight, but they simply don’t want to fight.

This unit would avoid fighting if possible, would never take the lead in a feint attack, and would be reluctant to rush to the front line when receiving a support mission. This was the ethos of the entire unit, and it was different from those brainwashed Japanese soldiers.

Coming from a merchant background, they have their own unique understanding of Bushido.

Whenever others question them, they have their own unique explanations.

In Chu Yunfei's memory, this unit was formed after the battles of Zao and Yi.

They were then transferred from the Kwantung Army to the south.

The battles in the five war zones are currently in full swing. How could such a situation occur?

"The Fourth Division had already arrived at the frontline before I left. I don't know how it will perform, but according to Commander Chu's judgment, this unit should perform well."

Chu Yunfei nodded seriously: "Although this unit is not well-known and has basically never fought any tough battles in the country, it is still a standing division after all. Even if its fighting spirit is poor, it is not an easy character to deal with."

"If, according to the command of the Supreme Command, the Ninth War Zone took the initiative to attack and seize the gaps, and the Third War Zone actively attacked the enemy ships and cut off the Yangtze River, the operations of the Fifth War Zone would definitely not be so difficult."

"I'm afraid there are other explanations, but the presence of this unit on the front line will have a huge impact on the battle situation on the front line."

Wu Ziqiang had been at the Army University for more than half a year and had some understanding of the factions within the National Army.

He never cared about the labels his colleagues gave him.

Everyone said that Wu Ziqiang was just a henchman of Chu Yunfei, not even a lackey.

But Wu Ziqiang also knew how many people envied him.

At the age of thirty-three, with this military rank and position.

After graduating from Lu University, Wu Zi is bound to make further progress.

Even among the first and second phases of Huangpu, how many people can achieve such an achievement?

Zhao Pengcheng smiled and said, "In my opinion, it is nothing more than that Shancheng wants to take this opportunity to consume the military strength of the Fifth War Zone."

"No matter what the outcome of this battle is, Shancheng will be the winner."

"As for the unsuccessful attacks in the Ninth and Third War Zones, I think both Commander Xue and Commander Gu should have been prepared to explain."

Wu Ziqiang nodded in agreement. He put his hands behind his back and shook his body: "The Third War Zone has been fighting for half a year. It is normal that the attack is not going well at this time."

"The Ninth Theater can also be explained by insufficient supplies. With the Fourth Theater's troops unable to be mobilized, the Fifth Theater is already struggling to cope on its own."

Chu Yunfei sighed, "It's a pity that I can only talk about military operations on paper in the hospital now, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy. It's really sad and lamentable. If the combat troops in the Fifth War Zone were under my command, the situation might be slightly improved."

Winning is basically impossible.

In the Zaoyi Campaign, the Japanese army's goal was still to destroy the main force of the Fifth War Zone.

One of them was Huang Qixiang's 5th Army Group. (General Zhong Yi, commander of the 9rd Division of the 40th Army of Mo Shujie, was chasing after the Japanese army while trying to cover the retreat of the main force of the friendly army. His troops were dispersed and defeated, and he was seriously injured. In order to fulfill his duty as a soldier to the country and the nation, he walked into the reeds and shot himself on May . He was only years old.)
The second is the main force of Tang Enbo's troops.

However, Tang Enbo fought very well in this battle. (The Battle of Xianghua Highway, which severely damaged the Japanese Third Division)
Using bait to guide the Japanese army into the siege, the main force jumped out of the encirclement and launched a swift interception on the Japanese attacking forces.

The Japanese military's telecommunications reconnaissance department discovered the location of General Zhang Zizhong's headquarters through the radio call sign and the direction of the radio waves.

Under the cover of air force, a siege was launched on the area.

The Japanese attacking force numbered as many as 5,000 men, with more than 20 aircraft frequently taking off to provide support.

The 74th Division and the Special Service Battalion were out of ammunition and isolated, suffering heavy casualties.

General Zhang Zizhong was hit by a bullet in the chest and died fighting for his country.

"Your Excellency, your main task now is to take good care of your body. Your body is the capital for commanding operations. If your body is not recovered,

"You are right. When you come back, I will try to communicate with Commander Yan to transfer you to the 13th Army..."

Wu Ziqiang was secretly shocked: "Will Chief Wang agree?"

"I will agree. Your presence there is only temporary, and it's a transitional period. Once the situation is completely settled, I will consider your transfer."

Originally, Chu Yunfei planned to send Wu Ziqiang to the Construction Corps.

Zhuo Tianyu, who had been training in the local area for a long time, was transferred back to the combat troops.

But think about it.

Local construction work has basically been put on the right track.

There is absolutely no need to waste time letting Wu Ziqiang go.

Wang Jingguo's 13th Army is indeed a good ladder with this resume here.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfei finally had a way to get promoted.

It’s a pity that Wang Jingguo is still in his prime and is Yan Laoxi’s son-in-law.

Chu Yunfei did not give face to Wang Jingguo, but he also had to consider Yan Laoxi's feelings.

Wu Ziqiang and Zhao Pengcheng chatted for a few more words about the battle situation in the Fifth War Zone. When the time was almost up, Wu Ziqiang left the ward.

That's the time.

Zhao Pengcheng then took out some documents from the filing cabinet and put them aside.

Chu Yunfei was lying on the bed. Zhao Pengcheng looked down at the first document and dictated:
"The exploration of resources in the Zhongtiaoshan area has been completed. Apart from coal, sulfur and copper, there are very few other mineral resources."

"There are almost no natural resources, the population is insufficient, there are not many areas that can be developed, and there is a particular lack of water resources. Chief Sun believes that this area only needs to strengthen some infrastructure construction and invest in supporting industrial and mining industries..."

"Okay." Chu Yunfei nodded slightly: "Just do as he said, set up settlements along the way as much as possible, accommodate refugees, plant terraces and trees in a reasonable manner, and prevent geological disasters."

"Yes."

Zhao Pengcheng wrote down a few words in his notebook, then looked at another telegram in his hand: "The headquarters wants to transfer Commander Liu of the Fifth Army to the Fourteenth Army as deputy commander-in-chief."

"After all, the main force has already been transferred to the 14th Army Group, so Commander Yan has no objection to this transfer."

Chu Yunfei nodded slowly: "It really has nothing to do with us. This is an appointment by the command headquarters. We have no right to interfere."

Zhao Pengcheng then picked up the third telegram: "This is a secret message from the First Aide Department. You are required to open it in person..."

"Open it."

"Yes!"

Zhao Pengcheng glanced at it and whispered, "The headquarters has decided to disband the headquarters and approve your previous training and evolution. You will be transferred to Shancheng as the special strategic advisor of the headquarters. You will go to Shancheng for recuperation and you are required to transfer all of Huang Baitao's troops to Daguan County."

"Daguan County?" Chu Yunfei frowned and thought for a long time: "Where is Daguan County?"

"The northeastern part of Yunnan Province should be the territory of Yunnan at present."

"So the High Command has agreed to my training plan and is preparing to conduct adaptive training in advance?"

Zhao Pengcheng reminded with a little worry: "But the main force of the Flying Tigers is in Shanxi. Transferring you to the south is not an attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"It's a bit interesting."

Chu Yunfei touched his chin. If it was a test, it was a bit too radical.

The probability is relatively small.

Chang Ruiyuan is a person who likes to think about old friendships from time to time, and Chu Yunfei has never made any "betrayal" moves.

On this basis, it is unlikely that they would specifically call him over and put him under "house arrest".

He did not make any mistakes; instead, he was a hero.

Being promoted to special adviser is already a matter of gossip and suspicion.

If something happens again in such an unclear way, no one will dare to believe Chang Ruiyuan again.

Not only is the strength already lacking, but the people are also losing support.

Naturally, the big picture of the mountain city’s home, country and the world could no longer be drawn.

What's more, Fu Yishen from the Eighth War Zone and Yan Laoxi from the Second War Zone are now countless times stronger than what he remembers.

There is also an 18th Group Army that is developing rapidly.

In addition, the production capacity of SX alone.

In fact, it has surpassed Sichuan, which was operated as a rear base.

Whether it is industrial production capacity or the most critical food self-sufficiency, it is much healthier than Sichuan.

The Second World War Zone, backed by the Soviet Union and the United States, can jump to the opposite side of the mountain city at any time.

What's more.

Even without Chu Yunfei, the current Flying Tigers are a force that cannot be underestimated.

If they make a fuss, the Japanese will only benefit from it.

If you think this way, the probability of testing is relatively low.

If it's not a test.

Then Chang Ruiyuan has already found a future position for him.

That was the senior commander of the expeditionary force.

At least the latter part of the secret telegram was about transferring Huang Baitao's troops to northeastern Yunnan for training.

This indirectly supports this idea.

If you want to enter Burma to fight, you not only need adaptive training, but also need to recruit local soldiers from Yunnan.

The mountain city in the northwest, which had just been pacified, had such prestige and ability.

I just don't know what was discussed with the King of Southwest that allowed such a troop to be stationed in his territory.

Zhao Pengcheng saw Chu Yunfei was lost in thought, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you planning to go over there? Is this a little dangerous?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head and said, "I sent a telegram to the attendant room to ask: My unit is in the north, why are we heading south?"

"Would you be more tactful?"

Chu Yunfei shook his head: "No, just send it like this."

"Not a single word changed?"

"Not a single word has been changed!"
