Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 78 With the force of thunder (Subscription required)

Motou Beach.

Niangziguan Battle Command.

Huang Shaohong looked down at the telegram in his hand and couldn't help but smile.

This Chu Yunfei is really crazy.

Let the army group commander and the army commander give way to their 358th Brigade.

Only Chu Yunfei can do it.

There are still capable people under Yan Laoxi!

"Commander Huang?"

"In my name, call Commander Sun and Commander Zeng and tell them that the main force of this battle will be in the hands of the Jin Army."

If the Jin army in Shanxi doesn't fight hard with all their might, who will?

This idea was common among warlords at that time.

The same is true for Huang Shaolong.

But it’s not his fault. It actually has something to do with Yan Laoxi.

Although Huang Shaohong served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater.

In fact, he could only directly command a guard of two hundred people.

The guards carried no rifles or machine guns.

In this chaotic time, a deputy commander going to the front line must protect himself, right?

Not to mention mortars, it would be reasonable to give some light machine guns.

What is the result?

Huang Shaohong is the third member of the Guangxi clique.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Second World War.

I asked Yan Laoxi for it three times.

Only then were nine Czech-style guns made in Jin delivered, and less than 20,000 rounds of ammunition were provided.

It’s not that Yan Laoxi is without equipment, but he couldn’t make sense of himself until he was hurt by the Japanese.

Always thinking about preserving strength and making peace with the Japanese.

It was not until the Japanese invaders launched a large-scale attack on Shanxi that Yan Laoxi finally reacted.

The Japanese really didn't give him a chance to survive.

This was the time of the great battle in northern Shanxi.

Under his instructions, Sun Cuiya left all the tough battles to the friendly forces.

Fortunately, I have come to my senses now.

If Yan Laoxi really intends to go all the way to the end and be willing to be a running dog of the Japanese.

It has really come to this.

Even Chu Yunfei had to change his allegiance and even kill the traitor.

"Commander Huang, the 358th Division has cleared the way. The main force of the 358th Regiment of the th Brigade has arrived outside Guangou and taken over their position. According to Feng Anbang, this group of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops does look quite impressive."

"prestige?"

Huang Shaohong raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself: "It's not too late to show off after we defeat the Japanese!"

Outside Guangou.

Qian Bojun personally went to the front line to observe the Japanese invaders' defensive positions.

"This place is indeed a deep ditch."

Qian Bojun simply observed the terrain of the surrounding area and had already made up his mind: "If we attack by force, the number of casualties in our army will definitely not be small."

"Commander, should we request fire support from the mountain artillery battalion?"

"Of course. If we don't use the cannon, then wouldn't it be a waste if we brought it here?"

Japanese planes flew overhead and circled.

A lot of bombs were dropped on Tang Huaiyuan's position of the 12th Division.

Under the cover of artillery fire.

The large Japanese army group that broke into Jiuguan tried to break through the defense line of the 12th Division and rescue the Japanese troops in Guangou.

As the support troops' attack was repelled.

The commander of the 20th Division, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, who had taken over the entire command at this time, felt something was wrong.

He urgently sent a telegram to the howitzer battalion and the main forces of the 77th Regiment of the 39th Infantry Brigade.

Quickly launch an attack in the direction of Guangou.

These little devils will definitely go all out.

because.

The commander of their 77th Regiment, Colonel Li Dengxing, was in Guangou at this time.

At this time Li Dengxing was in a terrible state.

His military uniform was already covered in blood, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue.

"Captain, the search squadron has discovered a large number of enemy troops arriving, at least a battalion in number."

"Also, they were not wearing helmets, so they did not seem to be the troops we had fought before."

Li Dengxing suddenly felt something was wrong: "What's the color of their uniforms?"

"Gray-blue."

Gray-blue military uniform?
The Northwest Army that had previously fought against them wore gray uniforms and steel helmets.

This force is most likely not the Northwest Army.

There is only one answer, and that is the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!

"Send a telegram to the division commander immediately and ask for tactical guidance!"

"Hai!"

According to pre-war intelligence, there was no Shanxi-Suiyuan Army here.

In the eyes of the Japanese, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was difficult to deal with.

Although he stood idly by when his friendly forces came under fierce attack.

But once they fought against the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, they would find that these Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, which had previously ignored them, were attacking their own friendly forces.

Will show extraordinary courage.

And combat effectiveness far beyond that of ordinary troops.

This was true for Chen Changjie's troops and also for Fu Zuoyi's troops.

The same is true for the troops under Yang Aiyuan!
Even the 33rd Army, which had previously failed in its siege of the 11th Independent Mixed Brigade at Ru Yuekou.

Although it led to a breakthrough in the north of Ru Yuekou, Fanzhi County fell.

But there aren't many cowards among them.

An entire battalion of soldiers was killed in Fanzhisi County.

Like the 203rd Brigade of the th Division of the rd Army, which fought side by side with Chu Yunfei at Ru Yuekou.

They also fought a bloody battle with the Japanese Shibuya Regiment at the cost of almost all of their members being wiped out.

Brigade Commander Liang Jiantang was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and has shown no signs of improvement so far.

Li Dashan, commander of the 427th Regiment, even died on the battlefield.

It is true that this Japanese devil Li Dengxing is arrogant.

Otherwise, he would not have infiltrated the Old Pass with two infantry battalions and attempted to launch a surprise attack on Niangzi Pass from behind.

This is a very risky move, but it doesn't mean that Li Dengxingyi is stupid.

Ask for tactical guidance based on the best judgement at the moment.

As the mountain artillery battalion’s position was repaired.

The three mortar companies of the heavy mortar battalion were also deployed to designated positions.

The thick and large gun barrel flashed coldly in the sunlight.

Colleagues in the Northwest Army were extremely envious.

"Look, this is the 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"I heard that this is the ace unit of the superiors. With these things, they must be the ace!" "Old Sun, look at what that thing is."

"It looks like a machine gun. Why is it mounted here?"

"What are you looking at? Get back to your positions."

Huang Liheng, the company commander in charge of guarding that direction, stepped forward and drove the soldiers and squad leaders who had walked out of the trenches and pointed back into the trenches.

As he spoke, he raised the telescope in his hand and looked at the soldiers of the anti-aircraft company on the top of the hill.

Huang Liheng looked at it carefully and was extremely surprised for a moment: "It turned out to be an anti-aircraft machine gun. Damn, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is really rich. If we have these things, do we still have to worry about the Japanese planes?"

"Captain...Captain"

"Get back!"

"No, a company commander from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army came and said he wanted to take over our position."

Huang Liheng was stunned: "This is the flank guard position of our main force. Are they going to take over?"

"Hello, I'm Xue Jie, the commander of the 358th Company of the st Battalion of the th Regiment of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

Huang Liheng also introduced himself: "The 27th Division"

"Brother, there's no need to introduce each other. Please withdraw first. We will take over this position. Our commander is worried that the Japanese army will break out from here..."

Huang Liheng suddenly felt unhappy.

Are the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army so crazy?

Yes, your Jinsui Army is in your own territory.

But our 27th Division is not made of clay!

"Captain Xue, isn't that too much?"

Seeing Huang Liheng making a sour face.

Xue Jie also guessed that Huang Liheng must have misunderstood.

"Oh my god, sorry, brother."

"The military situation is urgent, and the commander ordered me to prepare some small gifts. I hope you brothers will cooperate!"

Xue Jie waved to the soldiers following him.

Several soldiers came forward carrying weapon boxes.

Under Huang Liheng's gaze, Xue Jie stepped forward and opened the weapons box.

A brand new Jin-made Thompson submachine gun, still covered in butter, was placed among them.

"Ten automatic rifles and ten thousand rounds of ammunition, as a token of my respect."

Huang Liheng was quite surprised and asked quickly: "No, Brother Xue, these things are for us?"

"Yes!"

As the two were talking, the roar of an engine was heard again in the distant sky.

Xue Jie looked down at the pocket watch in his hand, frowning slightly: "Brother, we don't have much time. Please help us, and retreat now!"

Huang Liheng no longer hesitated at this time: "Third squad leader, take all the things away!"

"Captain, the regimental commander has given instructions!"

"I will explain to the regimental commander, and I trust these brothers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

Xue Jie smiled when he heard this: "Oh my god, brother, I guarantee with my integrity that the Japanese army will never be able to break through the defense line of our Seventh Company."

"See? Monks can't tell lies. Go, go, go, what are you doing here?"

“Yes, yes~!”

By noon on the 15th, the main force of the 358th Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had surrounded all the Japanese troops in Guangou.

The mountain artillery battalion, heavy mortar battalion, and the first battalion have all arrived at the attack position.

2:00 p.m.

Chu Yunfei said coldly: "The battle begins!"

Sun Ming immediately understood and answered the phone call to the mountain artillery battalion: "Captain Liang, the brigade commander has ordered the attack to begin!"

Two combat staff officers, Sun Weimou and Zhang Dayun, also answered the phone.

"Captain Qian, the brigade commander orders the attack to begin!"

"Captain Song, the brigade commander orders the attack to begin!"

All the previous preparations were for this moment.

Chu Yunfei will annihilate the Japanese troops in Guangou with a thunderous force.

Let’s make a good start for the battle of Niangzi Pass!
Accompanied by flares rising into the sky.

The mountain artillery battalion opened fire first.

Under the order of Battalion Commander Liang Guoping, the gunners and loaders quickly got into position.

"Gun position number one, scale one hundred and thirty-eight, direction left four, one test shot, fire!"

"Boom~!"

A shell was fired, and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon of the mountain artillery battalion quickly adjusted the direction using instruments based on the landing point of the shell.

"One hundred and thirty-six on the scale, four to the left, one test shot, fire!"

"Report to the battalion commander, the target was successfully hit"

After putting down the phone, the mountain artillery battalion commander Liang Guoping quickly made calculations.

And at the same time.

The three artillery positions of the heavy mortar battalion quickly bombarded the enemy's front-line positions in accordance with the assault plan formulated by Qian Bojun.

The mountain artillery battalion was under Liang Guoping's calculations.

Continuous artillery bombardment was carried out on the location marked by Chu Yunfei.

Explosions continued one after another.

Gravel was flying, flames were flashing, and shells were hitting the Japanese troops.

The intensity of this artillery preparation alone was enough to scare the Japanese invaders.

The troops they had fought before did not have many heavy weapons, and even things like mortars were extremely scarce.

Like the scene where Chu Yunfei was firing twenty 82mm mortars at the same time.

Where have I encountered this before?

Although the number of casualties among the Japanese army was not large, their morale was greatly affected.

Being surrounded in Guangou, it is like crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one can help.

Break out, but can’t.

They wanted to hold the position to the death, but there was a cliff on one side, and it was impossible to build a qualified field defensive fortification.

The enemy only needs to attack them.

That is to be high up and have absolute terrain advantage.

Just as the mortar bombardment ended, the Japanese soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Bombardment is the most difficult offensive for them to resist.

Infantry charge?

In the eyes of these Japanese devils, the Chinese soldiers were simply courting their deaths!

After confirming that the infantry did not launch an attack quickly when the bombardment ended.

Li Dengxingyi couldn't help but relax at this time.

Although dozens of soldiers were killed or injured, the shelling was eventually stopped.

How difficult can it be to deal with an opponent who can't even use infantry-artillery coordinated tactics?

Just as he stood up and was about to order the redeployment of the defense line.

One after another, 75mm shells cut through the sky.

A shrill scream sounded right above Li Dengxingyi's head.

Li Dengxingyi seemed to have sensed something and looked up at the shells.

The combat staff officer beside him was very conscientious and threw him to the ground: "Danger, Captain~!"

Thank you brother Changan for the 500 points reward. I am very grateful and touched.

And to the brothers who gave me rewards before...I am not very good at thanking them for the rewards. I am really sorry that I don’t know the IDs of the godfathers. I would like to thank you all for your support here. I will do my best to write this story well.
