Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 64: Completely annihilate the Japanese invaders; only the Central Army has this treatment (please subscribe)

"Wu is bold?"

He had an impression of the squad leader of the second company.

Luo Weiguo walked out of the war room quickly: "Let him go!"

"Is there any urgent military information to report?"

Wu Dabing swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Commander Luo, the Eighth Route Army launched a counterattack, and they even risked their lives to blow up the armored vehicles of the little devils."

"What did you say? They also blew up the Japanese armored vehicles?"

Wu Dadan nodded: "Yes, a group of them carried explosives and rushed forward desperately, destroying an armored vehicle of the Japanese."

Luo Weiguo couldn't help but take it seriously at this time: "How many troops did they have involved in this attack?"

"If the company commander looks through the telescope, there's at least one regiment!"

"A group? Are you sure?"

If it really is a regiment of soldiers, even if it is only a thousand people.

It is also enough to relieve a lot of their pressure.

This is a perfect fighter!

Wu Dadan nodded quickly: "The company commander asked me to come and fight, saying that we can't let these outsiders look down on our Shanxi Suiyuan Army!"

Luo Weiguo's face changed, and he turned his head and shouted, "Bugler! Bugler!"

A soldier quickly rushed out from the side room and stood at attention in front of Luo Weiguo: "Here!"

"Blow the charge!"

"Yes!"

There are many kinds of trumpet sounds.

The first sound was the horn to prepare for the charge.

After the loud trumpet sounded.

An unnamed high ground on the left wing of Zhuanshui Village.

Guo Yanzheng immediately gave a loud order: "Everyone, put on your bayonets and prepare to attack!"

"Machine gunners, open fire at full force, suppress the Japanese firepower!"

"Pay attention to the charge sequence, don't fucking block your own machine gun!"

"Brothers, we are the 358th Regiment, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We are guarding our own hometown. We must not let these Eighth Route Army soldiers from Shaanxi outsmart us!"

The voice just fell,

The loud charge sounded.

"Beep, beep, beep~! Beep, beep!"

Guo Yanzheng drew out his pistol and rushed out of the trench first: "Kill!"

"Da da da da da da!"

The only four or five remaining machine guns of the Third Battalion opened fire at full force to provide cover!
At all costs, suppress the Japanese machine gun positions and firepower.

As the battalion commander, Luo Weiguo had already picked up the big knife placed on the command table.

At this moment, his eyes were full of solemnity.

Ever since I became the commander of this camp.

He never charged on the front line again.

I don’t know if the sword from that time is still sharp now.

The guards were fully armed and stood beside Luo Weiguo: "Battalion Commander!"

"battalion commander."

Looking at these brothers who had shared life and death with him, Luo Weiguo felt relieved, his eyes becoming more determined: "Brothers, follow me and kill the Japanese devils!"

"kill!"

A fierce battle is going on in Zhuanshui Village.

At this time, it was on an unnamed hillside less than 45 kilometers north of Xinkou.

They surrounded the last three or four hundred Japanese troops of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade.

In order to completely wipe out the vanguard of the independent mixed brigade.

The 54th Division, which was responsible for the main attack, had suffered more than 5,000 casualties.

The shells even flattened several nearby hilltops.

Division Commander Liu Jiaqi personally went to the front-line command post to supervise the battle, which was less than three kilometers away from the front hill.

The battle, which was originally scheduled to end in three days, is still going on.

Far away, above the sky.

The roar of the engine sounded again.

A group of officers immediately started cursing: "Damn it, the Japanese planes come seven or eight times a day, they are as annoying as flies!"

"How many planes do the Japanese have? It takes a long time to fly from Beijing... With this frequency of sorties, did the Japanese army build an airport in Shanxi?"

The adjutant's words reminded the division commander Liu Jiaqi, who was observing the battle through a telescope.

They are the Central Army, and they are here to fight.

There are not many military maps.

The military's combat staff even had to squeeze around a table to discuss strategies and tactics.

However, only the elite troops of their Central Army enjoy this treatment.

It also supports operations in the Second War Zone.

As an elite force originating from the Northwest Army.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Second Army and commander of the First Corps, Sun Lianzhong did not even have a complete battle map.

This is especially true for the 22nd Sichuan Army Group, which came from afar to provide support.

It seemed that Yan Laoxi did not take the Sichuan Army seriously and did not even give them a incomplete map.

Now is the time for cooperation.

The chief also served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone.

and then.

The map used by Commander Liu of the 129th Division when commanding operations was the map in the geography textbook of Shanxi junior high school, which had nothing to do with military maps.

anyway.

After hearing what the combat staff said, Liu Jiaqi immediately turned around and asked, "Is it possible that the Japanese army used the airports in Shanxi to take off and land their fighter planes?" "Otherwise, their support frequency would never be so high."

The operations staff nodded: "It is very likely, but there is no location of the field airport on our map."

"Send a message to the commander-in-chief."

"Yes!"

at this time.

As of 5 p.m. that day.

The main forces of the 14th Army have basically arrived at their combat positions.

The defensive fortifications on the Xinkou line were also completed.

The blocking positions outside Yuanping City were basically broken through by the Japanese invaders.

The first battalion has suffered more than half of its casualties.

The mountain artillery battalion and anti-aircraft artillery were urgently transferred.

They retreated to a position four kilometers south of Yuanping City and rebuilt artillery positions.

358th Regiment Headquarters.

Chu Yunfei had already learned that Chen Changjie's troops had taken a detour to attack the Japanese and cut off the Fifth Division's logistical supply line.

Although it is not clear why it took so long.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong made the judgment.

Most likely they chose to advance through the small road in order to avoid being discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes.

The mountainous area in northwest Shanxi is not suitable for large-scale marches.

One week is already very fast.

"Commander-in-Chief... the latest telegram from the Second War Zone Command Headquarters."

"Commander Yan ordered us to retreat to Taiyuan, resupply and then go to Yangquan City to set up defenses."

He took the telegram handed over by Fang Ligong and scanned it carefully.

"Shahe and Fanshi county towns were captured."

Chu Yunfei touched his chin and pondered, "Doesn't this mean that the Fifth Division's retreat route has been completely cut off?"

"If we launch an all-out attack, we might be able to annihilate the Fifth Division."

Fang Ligong sighed: "Commander, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

He pointed to the Xinkou line on the map and said, "According to the telegram, the 14th Army's elite 54th Division has paid the price of nearly 6,000 casualties in order to encircle and annihilate the more than 2,000 elite Japanese invaders, and the battle is not even over yet."

"You know, in order to assist in this battle, Commander Yan dispatched an artillery regiment to them."

Chu Yunfei did not comment: "This shows one thing, if we want to encircle and annihilate the Japanese army occupying the advantageous terrain, we need to pay a huge price."

"Based on the current situation, the Fifth Division plus other Kwantung Army troops are conservatively estimated to have 20,000 to 30,000 people," said Fang Ligong.

He frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. He pushed his glasses and pointed to the battle map on the table: "From the perspective of the overall battlefield in Shanxi."

"The enemy can tie down an entire army group with only part of the main force of the First Mixed Brigade and more than 3,000 puppet troops. The enemy's Fourth Brigade Sakata Regiment, which has been active on the right wing battlefield recently, has even defeated a division of the Central Army head-on with the strength of a regiment."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Even if everything goes well and the casualty ratio is 2:1, we still need to pay the price of more than people. Our Second War Zone's direct troops only have less than troops left. If I were Commander Yan, I would probably not go all out."

"From the perspective of military command, this opportunity is fleeting and once missed, it will never come back again."

Fang Ligong nodded.

Why didn't he understand?

The 358th Regiment fought bravely and paid heavy casualties in exchange for a hard-earned victory.

It boosted the morale of all the soldiers and civilians in Shanxi.

Chu Yunfei is a soldier, a pure soldier, so as a commander, he is willing to put himself in danger and willing to pay such a price.

But Yan Laoxi is different.

He was a warlord, a politician and a person in power.

There are more things to consider, and naturally more concerns.

"If the more than 200,000 troops in Shanxi were all generals of our Jin Army, Commander Yan might choose to give it a try."

Fang Ligong put his hands behind his back and sighed: "It's a pity that among them are the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Sichuan Army, the Northwest Army, and the Eighth Route Army..."

Chu Yunfei as a time traveler.

He was naturally aware that the 20th Division of the Japanese Army was already planning to attack the Niangziguan area.

In the event of a direct threat to the flank.

The defenders on the Xinkou front were not only unable to take the initiative to attack, but also unable to change the rhythm of offense and defense.

It may even be necessary to transfer some of the troops that originally came to support the Niangziguan area.

War is not a game.

Sixty thousand people is not an ordinary number.

Even if it’s a real video game.

Some realistic war-themed games.

Game players, or even AI, losing so many people in a short period of time will also add many debuffs that are difficult to eliminate.

Not to mention the real world, which is often more complicated.

Even so, the Japanese invaders' wild claim of capturing Shanxi in one month has been shattered.

They still have the ability to continue attacking.

If the troops in Shanxi area really take the initiative to attack and carry out encirclement and annihilation operations.

If there is any mistake, the entire line of defense will be in trouble.

By that time, let alone defending Xinkou and Shanxi.

Even places like southwestern and southeastern Shanxi might be lost.

"Report, call from the 386th Brigade."

"read"

Sun Weimou looked down at the telegram in his hand: "At present, a part of the Japanese independent mixed brigade has been completely wiped out in the Zhuanshui Village area, and the enemy commander Kamimura Minami and his officers and soldiers, totaling more than 800 people, have been killed..."

Chu Yunfei turned around and asked, "Destroy all? Call back to confirm the results and see if there are any fish that have escaped the net."

"Also, please ask Commander Chen to tell my Third Battalion Commander Luo Weiguo... to ask him not to return to Yuanping area, but to directly withdraw to Taiyuan City. The main force of our 358th Regiment will leave first!"
