20th Division Headquarters.

Fumisaburo Kawagishi looked at the latest news compiled by the intelligence department.

According to the reconnaissance of the air force.

The defenders inside the old pass have been annihilated by the Chinese army.

The defenders in Guangou had no chance of escape.

A main force of more than 2,000 men was completely destroyed.

Although I was mentally prepared.

But after actually receiving the news, I was still a little shocked.

It arrived a whole day earlier than expected.

The main force of the 20th Division failed to even break through the defense line of Faluling.

The elite troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had already been withdrawn.

So, where will they go?
Kawagishi Fumisaburo stood in front of the battle map, thinking carefully.

Think differently.

If he were the enemy commander-in-chief.

At this time, they would definitely not choose to send this elite force to the front line.

According to Kawagishi Fumisaburo's idea.

The most suitable combat location for Chu Yunfei's troops was the Wangjialing line defended by Zeng Wanzhong's troops of the enemy's Third Army.

The attackers here were the 69th Infantry Regiment of the th Infantry Brigade.

The 69th Regiment was divided into three routes and attacked Wangjialing, Xiaoliangjia, Daliangjia and other places respectively.

The already limited military forces were further dispersed.

If Fumisaburo Kawaigishi were to command the battle, he would certainly give priority to gathering superior forces.

At the Wangjialing line, part of the 69th Regiment was annihilated, and the troops advanced to Changshengkou to engage in battle against the Japanese army's left-wing attack force.

Threatening the flanks of the main force would then affect the immediate battle situation.

Think of this.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo immediately ordered: "Send a telegram to General Tanifuji, asking him to be sure to keep an eye on Chu Yunfei's troops, the main force of the enemy's Jinsui Army."

"Hai!"

at this time.

Inside the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.

The first person Qian Bojun thought of was Bian Fucheng.

The company always bears such a heavy responsibility.

However, this operation requires coordination with the remaining three companies rather than attacking individually.

Bian Fucheng was a lieutenant company commander and had no such command experience.

Chu Yunfei subconsciously looked at Qian Zhaoyou beside him.

After a slight hesitation, her eyes passed over him.

Qian Zhaoyou is not capable of this as he has no practical command experience. For this kind of combat mission, any slight mistake would lead to big problems.

If Fang Ligong had done something, it would have been even worse.

It's fine for a civilian staff officer to give advice, but to let him lead troops on the front line is simply asking him to die.

After much thought, there is only one person who is most suitable.

That was Qian Bojun, deputy commander of the 358th Regiment and commander of the first battalion.

Seeing Chu Yunfei's eyes turning to him again.

Qian Bojun straightened his chest and stepped forward: "It seems that I am the most suitable person."

Chu Yunfei was quite pleased to see Qian Bojun take the initiative to step forward to take on the task.

Apart from Qian Bojun, he was the only chief officer suitable to undertake this combat mission.

This is obviously impossible.

Qian Bojun was actually the only candidate for this combat operation.

"For this operation, we will use the elite infantry companies in the battalion to form the attack column with the first, fourth, and eighth companies. We must ensure that this attack is effective."

Chu Yunfei was quite satisfied and immediately said, "In addition, I will transfer the guard company to you to strengthen the firepower for advancement."

"Please rest assured, Commander. I promise to complete this mission."

"Then I wish you a successful start and a triumphant return in advance!"

"Yes, Captain."

In order for this operation to be successful.

Chu Yunfei didn't rest that night.

From a bird's-eye view.

He personally found the most suitable marching route for this attack formation.

Which place's defense is relatively weak.

Almost all possible events have been taken into consideration and solutions have been given.

There is a saying that goes, "Planning is the key to success, while lack of planning leads to failure."

Careful planning and preparation in advance are the keys to victory.

The next morning.

Qian Bojun came to the front-line command center.

He took a carefully marked battle map and a document from Chu Yunfei.

After taking a quick glance, Qian Bojun was extremely surprised.

He looked up at Chu Yunfei who looked a little tired: "Captain... this."

Careful planning and strict implementation.

It is the key to victory on the battlefield.

This is what Chu Yunfei has always emphasized before.

But in the document given to Qian Bojun.

Rather than a battle plan, it is more like a suggestion and a reference.

"These are some of my ideas. You can refer to them, but don't be influenced by them. Have your own ideas."

Chu Yunfei emphasized his tone again and again: "When commanding on the battlefield, you still have to rely more on your own judgment. Qian Bojun, I believe in your ability."

Any war, any battle.

In fact, it is impossible to carry out the battle plan completely according to the preset one.

What's more, during this period, the Jinsui Army lacked means of communication between its subordinate units.

It is normal for problems to arise on the battlefield.

This document was given by Chu Yunfei to Qian Bojun.

It's more like a suggestion or reference.

There are no overly precise attack timings and requirements.

After all, the opponents were well-trained Japanese troops, and they did not fight according to the plan set by the director's department.

There is no way the Japs would cooperate with us in dancing a duet.

Excessive pursuit of sophisticated battle plans.

Instead, it will lead to a situation where one is trying to find a sword by looking for it on the boat.

It is also not advisable to mechanize the execution of combat plans.

When the battlefield situation differs slightly from the plan, be determined to execute the plan, but do not stick to it.

At this time, what is tested is the overall strategy and the officers' ability to respond to changing circumstances.

However, the battle plan provided by Chu Yunfei is actually the optimal solution.

As long as Qian Bojun is not confused, he will definitely follow the marching route he set. Qian Bojun left.

The third company was used as the vanguard, conducting search and reconnaissance and advancing.

The main force's first guard company was in the center.

The Eighth Company served as the rear guard and was also responsible for ensuring the safety of the rear.

After finishing the work at hand, Chu Yunfei had no time to rest.

A phone call was made to the command center.

"Hello~, is this the 358th Brigade?"

"I am Chu Yunfei!"

After a moment of silence on the other side, someone else spoke.

"I am Zhang Jinzhao, deputy commander of the 30th Division"

【Hello, Commander Zhang.】

Zhang Jinzhao smiled and said immediately: "My troops plan to launch a counterattack at 2 o'clock this afternoon. We will need your cooperation at that time. I wonder if Brigade Commander Chu..."

Chu Yunfei frowned and immediately refused: "The main force of our army has not yet arrived at the front line. There are only two infantry battalions on the front line of Falu Ridge. It is already difficult to hold the defense line. We are unable to cooperate with your army's operations."

"Current enemy forces."

Chu Yunfei didn't want to listen to Zhang Jinzhao's nonsense.

Ever since the 358th Brigade arrived at the front line.

In the battle map, you can see this bastard gathering troops.

It's just that his so-called counterattack.

It is very likely that a reverse attack will be launched.

After tricking the 358th Brigade into dying, their th Division was able to escape easily.

The abacus was jingling.

But he didn't know these so-called little tricks.

It has no meaning at all to Chu Yunfei.

Inside the headquarters of the 30th Division.

Zhang Jinzhao frowned. There was no sound on the other end of the phone: "Hello! Hello!"

After calling several times without any response, Zhang Jinzhao cursed angrily: "This Chu Yunfei actually dared to hang up on me!"

The chief of staff at the side was stunned for a moment.

Hang up the phone on their teacher.

Not likely.

According to the news they received last night.

This Chu Yunfei should be a madman who advocates attack.

When they hear friendly forces actively requesting a counterattack, they should actively cooperate.

Why is there no movement?

"Master... Is there something wrong with the phone line?"

"According to the report, the Japanese army sent a small force to infiltrate our defense line. Didn't our telephone line with General Sun get cut off?"

Zhang Jinzhao frowned slightly and nodded: "It's not impossible. Chu Yunfei doesn't have the guts to hang up on me."

The chief of staff paused, then asked in a low voice: "Then should we still withdraw?"

"We can't get in touch with General Sun. The troops have suffered heavy casualties."

"Zhao Duting has already withdrawn. If we don't withdraw, I'm worried that if we continue fighting like this, something bad will happen sooner or later."

"But Commander Sun gave a death order. Without his order, we cannot retreat. If we investigate later, that will happen."

I heard the Chief of Staff say this.

Zhang Jinzhao was also quite hesitant at this time.

But his division now has less than 4,000 men left.

He didn't want to continue fighting this battle at all.

It is also this time.

"Dingling bell~!"

A phone call from the enemy's front headquarters at Mohetan came into the headquarters of the 30th Division.

"Hello, Commander Huang, please go ahead."

"Hold on for two days?"

"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll convey it to the commander right away."

The chief of staff frowned and looked at his division commander.

The call was such a coincidence.

This made him feel that something was a little bit wrong.

"Deputy Commander Huang ordered that the 30th Division hold out for two more days before retreating to Yangquan for repairs. The 122nd Division will come to support and take over the defense line."

"One Hundred and Twenty-second Division, Sichuan Army?"

Zhang Jinzhao sneered: "Can they hold the line?"

"In my opinion, this old man Huang Shaohong is really confused. Sending the Sichuan Army to fight is just sending them to their deaths, isn't it?"

"But Master, it is better for a fellow Taoist to die than for me to die."

The Chief of Staff sighed and said with some emotion: "At present, the front-line defenses have been almost completely destroyed, and there is no news of reinforcements. It would be good to leave some seeds for the 30th Division!"

It is a consensus that the Sichuan Army has poor combat effectiveness.

The reinforcements that the troops on the front line are looking forward to.

It was not them, but the 13th Army under the command of Tang Enbo, the elite of the Central Army.

However, this unit is still in Anyang, Henan for repairs.

When it will come, or whether it will come at all, is still unclear.

The Niangzi Pass front where the military strength is weak.

Without the continued investment of fresh forces.

Sooner or later, the defense line will be broken by the Japanese army.

This is the consensus of all commanders.

As soon as the battle started, everyone had already anticipated this outcome.

Everything we do now is just to buy more time.

Zhang Jinzhao gritted his teeth and decided to resolutely carry out the "old man's" order: "Send our division reserve and order all troops to hold out for the last two days."

"After two days, no matter what happens, the 30th Division will be withdrawn."

"Yes!"

From the bird's-eye view of the battle map.

Following the command of Zhang Jinzhao, deputy commander of the 30th Division.

Chu Yunfei also felt a lot more relieved.

He had just sent out the most elite part of the 358th Brigade to carry out a surprise attack.

If the 30th Division ran away at this time.

The second and fourth battalions couldn't hold on.

There is a high probability that the main force of the first battalion will also have problems.

The 358th Brigade could not afford such consequences, and neither could Huang Shaohong.

Once the positions on the Faluling line are breached.

Division Zhao had not yet built a defense line.
