Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 76 Chu Yunfei orders his generals to attack the old pass! (Subscribe)
In Yangquan City.

An ordinary restaurant.

A coolie in a coarse shirt walked in.

He was sweating all over and looked like he had just finished doing hard labor.

The man smiled and bowed to the waiter: "Brother Qin, I heard there is work here?"

The waiter glanced at the person who came, without even looking up, and said coldly: "It's in the backyard, go by yourself!"

The people who were eating didn't even raise their heads and continued to deal with the food and wine in front of them.

After the coolie walked into the backyard, he quickly walked towards the utility room.

Open the door quietly.

The coolie walked over, pushed open the partition wall, and walked into the courtyard on the side.

After pushing open the door, he immediately came to the side of a middle-aged man.

"Lieutenant Watanabe, when I was working at Yangquancheng Station today, I found a large number of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops getting off a train coming from the west."

"From the perspective of scale, there are at least several thousand people."

"They are well-trained, and the guns they hold all look similar. I think they also have cannons. They should be the elite troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Watanabe Takeshi nodded, then took out ten dollars from his pocket and handed it to the coolie.

"You've done a good job. Please work hard these two days and confirm whether there are any other military weapons arriving at the station."

"Hai!"

After Chu Yunfei left the Jiang family.

Then he went to the Bao Mansion again.

This rich landlord’s house is indeed very impressive.

The meals prepared are all famous Shanxi dishes, but not many of these Shanxi dishes are well-known.

Fried pork, Dingxiang steamed meat, and Yellow River carp are just common dishes.

"Brother Bao, we still need your help in the defense of Yangquan City this time."

"Captain Chu, please give me your orders. I still say the same thing. I am your soldier. I will do whatever you tell me to do!"

Chu Yunfei was very satisfied with his sensible attitude: "There are many workers in Shanxi. The Japanese are about to attack, and they can't work peacefully. Help me organize a team of at least 300 people."

Bao Zhishan seemed to be in some difficulty and hesitated to speak.

Chu Yunfei naturally knew what the boy was thinking, and immediately promised: "Don't worry, these people are not cannon fodder on the battlefield, but to assist the front line of Niangzi Pass in transporting ammunition and supplies."

"You just need to transport the ammunition to the vicinity of Tianjiashan, ten kilometers west of Niangzi Pass, and your mission will be completed."

Bao Zhishan felt relieved when he heard this: "If we don't have to fight, we can still organize 300 people."

"Also, two days from now, start evacuating the people in the Yangquan area. Those who wish to leave should head west or southwest. In short, do not stay in the city."

"For those who don't want to leave Yangquan, let them take refuge in the mountains and come back after the war is over."

Bao Zhishan was a little worried when he heard this. He looked terrified and asked, "Commander Chu, can't we defend Yangquan?"

After returning to the base outside the city from Yangquan City.

Fang Ligong also collected all the weapons and ammunition on the list and brought them to the brigade headquarters.

It was then distributed to each camp.

This batch of weapons and ammunition.

Mainly 40 Czech-style light machine guns made in Shanxi and 300,000 rounds of Type 65 ammunition.

Twelve 60mm mortars and one thousand shells.

"The mortars that were lost before can now be replaced."

Zhang Fugui was quite happy and signed his name in front of Liu Shugao.

"Not bad, Fugui, your handwriting is still as elegant as before!"

Hearing others praising him, Zhang Fugui still said modestly: "Not at all, compared with our brigade commander, I am still far behind."

"Oh, by the way, Lao Liu, I won't talk to you for now. Take the stuff back, our first battalion will set out soon!"

"So fast?"

"Our first battalion must fight well in this opening battle and not let our prestige fall!"

Liu Shugao nodded and continued, "Don't leave in a hurry, come on!"

Zhang Fugui looked suspicious: "What's the matter?"

"I will secretly prepare another 500 grenades for you."

"It's such a good thing. I'll ask the commander to treat you to a drink when I get back."

"Don't say anything yet, I'm giving this to you for free..."

Liu Shugao rubbed his fingers and gestured to Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui was stunned and advised: "Old Liu, if the brigade commander knew about what you did, he would definitely shoot you!"

"Bullshit, I mean after you kill the Japs, help me get them a command knife!"

"Command knife?" Zhang Fugui sat on the ammunition box nearby and asked, "What do you want this for? It's useless!"

"I work in logistics, so I don't have much chance to go to the battlefield. When I return to my hometown, if people ask me what I do and I tell them I deliver food and ammunition, I'll be laughed at."

Zhang Fugui laughed: "Okay, I'll report this to the regiment commander when I get back and get you a deputy officer's sword!"

"Okay, let's take all the stuff away!" After seeing Zhang Fugui and his men leave, Liu Shugao added five hundred Jin-made grenades to the list.

"Qian Bojun, your battalion will be the first to move out and make sure to destroy the enemy at Jiuguan."

"Pay attention, your friendly troops this time are Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army. He was once a famous general of the Yunnan Army, and the troops under his command can be considered as the Central Army."

"They are the guest army, we are the host army, and we should avoid conflict as much as possible."

Qian Bojun nodded and smiled slightly: "Please rest assured, I am Qian Bojun, and I am also a person who cares about the overall situation and knows the big picture."

Chu Yunfei was naturally relieved. He pointed at Jinshan on the map and said, "I plan to set up my headquarters here."

Qian Bojun took a quick look and immediately spoke out to dissuade them: "Commander, Jinshan is less than ten kilometers away from the front line. It's too dangerous."

Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with ten kilometers? Isn't your command post only five kilometers away from the front line?"

I saw a group of battalion commanders looking at me.

Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back and said, "I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying!"

"A general must be prepared to die, and a soldier must not be greedy for life!"

Chu Yunfei glanced at everyone, and then continued: "I, Chu Yunfei, believe that you brothers can lead the troops to defeat the Japanese army, annihilate the Japanese troops in Jiuguan, and enhance the military prestige of our Jin army."

"Hold Niangzi Pass, hold the eastern gate of Shanxi! Let these foreign troops see how our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army fights!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Qian Bojun organized his troops to march to the Jiuguan line that afternoon.

According to the marching speed of the first battalion, if it were faster.

It will arrive around tomorrow afternoon.

The attack can be launched early in the morning on the third day.

In terms of time, there is definitely enough time.

Chu Yunfei then went on to make other arrangements: "Captain of the Cavalry Company, Ma Keying!"

"To!"

Ma Ying took a step forward with a determined look on his face.

"Order your cavalry company to split into two groups and set out immediately to Falu Ridge and Jiulong Pass to learn about the situation of the friendly Zhao and Zeng divisions."

"Yes!"

Just as Chu Yunfei was preparing for further deployment.

Fang Ligong walked to Chu Yunfei's side and said, "Commander, Commander Huang called and wanted to see you."

Chu Yunfei nodded, then walked over to the phone and answered it: "Hello, Chief Huang, I'm Chu Yunfei."

Motoutan Command Post.

Huang Shaohong laughed loudly after hearing Chu Yunfei's voice and said, "Yunfei, where is your main force now?"

"At present, the main forces of all units have arrived at the Yangquan line. At present, our brigade is advancing towards Jiuguan with a large number of artillery pieces and a main force."

[Okay, okay, but I have some bad news. I don’t know if you know it.]

"Please speak, Commander Huang."

【Xuehua Mountain has been lost, and the Jingxing area has now been completely occupied by the Japanese. The Japanese army's elite 20th Division is currently attacking Niangzi Pass. A part of it has made a detour around the old pass, and a part of its main force is attacking along the Guangou. Its intention is very obvious, it wants to flank our army.】

Huang Shaohong paused for a moment and then continued: [You fought very well in Ruyuekou and Yuanping before. The battle situation is urgent. I also have high expectations for you. I hope that you are worthy of the title of Jin army general.]

"Please rest assured, Commander Huang. From the beginning of the attack, we will eliminate the Japanese troops in Guangou within five days."

[Yun Fei, there are at least a thousand Japanese troops in Guangou, and they are elite troops. If a regiment of the 79th Brigade is allowed to successfully break through and attack Niangzi Pass, Niangzi Pass will be in danger!]

If Niangzi Pass cannot be defended, Yangquan cannot be defended, and Taiyuan naturally cannot be defended.

This is the simplest way to provoke someone, but it is the most effective for soldiers!
It doesn’t matter if you, Huang Shaolong, can’t win and just leave.

I, Chu Yunfei, am a member of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and Shanxi is the place where I was born and raised.

Where can I retreat to? Where can I go?

No matter how many Japanese troops are in Guangou, I will defeat them!
Even the locusts cannot be stopped.

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and raised his voice a few degrees: "Three days, annihilate the Japanese army within three days!"

Huang Shaohong listened to Chu Yunfei's firm tone and became more serious: [Yunfei, there is no joking in the army! ]

"Please rest assured, Commander Huang. My troops will definitely annihilate this group of devils. If we fail, I, Chu Yunfei, will come to you with my head!"

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunfei walked back into the operations meeting room.

He quickly walked to the battle map and changed the information on it again.

"Everyone, the situation on the battlefield has changed again."

"At present, a part of the main force of the Japanese invaders in the old pass has entered the Guangou area. A regiment of the 79th Brigade has blocked them inside. They have been trying for a day and a night but have not been able to take them down. They have suffered heavy casualties and are at risk of being breached."

"The 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 3rd Infantry Battalion and the Heavy Mortar Battalion, proceed to the northern section of Guangou immediately."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei turned around and looked at Liu Shugao who was standing beside him: "I have informed the security team in the city. They are under your command. Make sure the transportation and supply lines are unobstructed."

"Please rest assured, Commander, I will complete the mission!"

Chu Yunfei nodded and turned to look at Fang Ligong: "Brother Ligong, let's set off too. I will take Sun Ming ahead and meet up near Jinshan!"

"it is good!"
