Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 46: Thin, too thin!
Later in the night.

Chu Yunfei returned to the regiment headquarters.

With the help of the soldiers in the guard platoon, I took a comfortable bath.

After changing into a spare military uniform, Chu Yunfei walked into the operations room.

At this time, Fang Ligong, as well as combat staff officers Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun, gathered in front of the combat map.

The day's battle reports are summarized here.

The original work on the map needs to be modified.

During this process, it is also necessary to check for omissions and fill in the gaps.

Based on the intelligence obtained by the scouts, deployment adjustments are made, gaps are checked and filled, and the defense line is ensured to be solid.

Otherwise, why is it said that being a staff officer is not a human job?
"Commander, you are here!"

Chu Yunfei nodded and looked at a few people: "You haven't slept for two days, right?"

"It's the commander!"

"Everyone go back and rest, I'll keep an eye on this place!"

"Commander... didn't you go into the city?"

Chu Yunfei chuckled and said, "The headquarters is not in the city. I'll go over and help, carry some wood, and stretch my muscles."

"Don't just stand there and watch. Put your things down and go back to rest first!"

"Commander, you?"

Chu Yunfei turned his wrist slightly, stretched out his right hand and took the telegram from the table: "I just took a cold shower, now I am full of energy!"

Fang Ligong waved his hand to signal the two staff officers.

Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun walked out of the operations room.

"The offensive on the front line is going smoothly. According to the current progress, we only need to hold on for about three days, and General Wei will be able to wipe out all of this group of Japanese troops!"

Chu Yunfei lowered his head and glanced at the battle map: "If the Japanese hold on to their position, three days may not be enough."

"There is currently no news of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade attacking."

Chu Yunfei touched his chin and asked, "Could it be that the Japanese want to break out under the cover of night?"

Fang Ligong was puzzled: "It doesn't make sense. The nearby roads and paths are all under our control. And night battles are not their forte."

It’s not wrong to think so.

"The Japanese army's firepower advantage can be better utilized during the day, but at this time they have lost contact with the headquarters and can only contact the higher-level headquarters. In this case, there is a possibility that the Japanese will do something desperate!"

Chu Yunfei's consciousness instantly entered the battle map.

The Japanese soldier's badge still could not appear within ten kilometers.

There are only two possibilities.

1. Before we discover the enemy, there is no perspective in the system map, so it will not be displayed.

2. The Japanese really didn’t plan to break out at night.

In order to do a good job in this test, we also need to keep an eye on the small Japanese invaders' units.

Chu Yunfei went to the phone and called the second battalion commander Wu Ziqiang and the third battalion commander Luo Weiguo respectively.

He told them to make sure to prepare for defense and beware of the Japanese night attacks.

This night, it was very quiet.

The battlefield fell into silence.

The Japanese army seemed to be planning a bigger offensive.

The 358th Regiment was obviously ready for battle.

Early in the morning, two operations staff officers arrived at the operations room.

Chu Yunfei arranged: "Today's battle may be countless times more intense than the first day. We still use the old methods and tactics."

"Once our blocking position is destroyed by enemy artillery fire, or if there are heavy casualties, do not hesitate to abandon the position immediately, preserve your manpower, and evacuate backwards."

Chu Yunfei paused, then added: "After two hours, call the third and second battalions respectively. They must remain vigilant!"

"Yes!"

the other side.

386 Brigade Headquarters.

Brigade Commander Chen received reports from the 772nd Regiment and the New st Regiment.

The 772nd Regiment eliminated Japanese invaders, but suffered nearly casualties, including more than deaths.

There are more than a hundred serious injuries and the situation is not very good.

The casualty ratio reached 1:3.

This is not a good-looking number.

The New 1st Regiment killed 60 Japanese invaders, suffered 180 casualties, and sacrificed 90 soldiers, including the deputy company commander who led the charge.
After a brief exchange, Brigade Commander Chen immediately ordered the two men to hand over their work and rush to the brigade headquarters to report in person.

This battle was not fought beautifully.

This was also an ambush, with the advantage of being in a dominant position and occupying the terrain.

The fighting power of the Japs was somewhat astonishing.

This is not the way to fight a war!
the other side.

The Japanese attacking forces launched round after round of attacks on the first battalion's blocking positions.

As of noon, there was still no sign of the Japanese invaders breaking through the blocking positions of the Second and Third Battalions.

Wu Ziqiang was unsure of the situation, so he called the regiment headquarters.

"Hello~ I'm Wu Ziqiang, the commander of the Second Battalion."

[Captain Wu, I'm Sun Weimou, what can I do for you? ]

"Staff Officer Sun, there's been no movement on our side. The cavalry scouts have all been sent out. Is there any exchange of fire over at the Third Battalion?"

[There is no battle report yet. The regiment commander ordered you to be alert and wait patiently before taking a break. The Japanese invaders have no other route to evacuate! ]

"it is good!"

Wu Ziqiang hung up the phone, feeling a little puzzled.

It had been four days since he had deployed his defense.

The soldiers were on guard against the Japanese attacks every day.

But till now, there is no sign of ghost.

The soldiers had nothing to do on the battlefield except strengthening it all day.

Just as Wu Ziqiang was preparing to go to the front line to inspect.

The phone rang again.

"I am the Second Battalion Commander Wu Ziqiang!"

[I am Chu Yunfei, Captain Wu, is there a river valley to the northeast of your position? ]

"Yes, Commander, please give me your instructions!"

[I just saw it on the map. Send someone to confirm whether the river has been diverted. Also confirm the runoff and whether it is possible to force a crossing.]

"Yes, Danzao!"

Wu Ziqiang immediately waved his hand and said, "Go, order the third company commander to lead his men to the river valley to conduct reconnaissance and deployment immediately. If you find any traces of the Japanese invaders, open fire directly without asking for permission!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei was already standing in front of the battle map.

He gave this order because he saw traces of Japanese activities within the encirclement for the first time on the battle map.

There has been no rain in the Xinkou area recently, and there has been no rain in the upper reaches of the river.

Given the river water volume in Shanxi, the Japanese would most likely choose to force a crossing or even wade through the water.

When Wu Ziqiang was deploying his troops, he only placed an observation post at this place and did not pay enough attention to it.

To be on the safe side, Chu Yunfei made this call personally.

Sun Wemou stepped forward.

Three battle maps have been replaced.

Only then did I find the location Chu Yunfei mentioned on a map of the area surrounding Yuanping Town.

The two combat staff officers looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Thin, really too thin.
Battle reports come in one after another, and fierce fighting is in full swing on the front line.

There were more than a dozen telegrams a day, but their regiment commander.

Even such tiny details were taken into consideration!
