Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 97 Why should I, Chu Yunfei, care about the face of this slave of three surnames? (Subscribe)

Chengjiazhuang.

358 Brigade Headquarters.

At this time, Chu Yunfei had no idea what was happening in Yangquan City.

Him now.

He was accompanying Huang Shaolong, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater.

Huang Shaohong was obviously very interested in the defense line built by the 358th Brigade.

In this period.

Some warlord troops with relatively low combat effectiveness in the country were digging trenches and building defensive positions.

It still retains battlefield experience from decades ago.

The habitual choice is to connect the trenches together to form a long line.

This is a very wrong approach.

More people choose to connect them with traffic trenches.

A large number of intricate trenches were built as defensive positions.

The troops under Chu Yunfei were building defensive fortifications.

Even more original.

Not only did they reinforce the location of the communication trench, they even set up light machine gun firing points there.

Attach great importance to the preset positions of light machine guns and heavy machine guns.

In addition, Chu Yunfei's troops also dug a large number of anti-artillery holes in the trenches, and reinforced the inside with a large number of short wooden sticks.

In addition, the command center is located very forward.

As a commander, his headquarters was less than eight kilometers behind the first-line defense position.

Although this can boost morale, once the Japanese army attacks and breaks through the defense line.

There is a high possibility that the command center will not even have time to retreat.

Huang Shaolong found it difficult to understand such an approach, and could only describe it as a case of great skill and courage.

"There is still no sign of a large-scale attack from the Japanese army. The commander of the 17th Division, Zhao Shoushan, reported that the Japanese army only sent a small force to carry out harassment and reconnaissance. Their large force seems to be limited by material supplies and other reasons and has never made any moves."

Chu Yunfei nodded without saying anything.

It is clearly shown on the three-dimensional combat map in my mind.

The current 20th Division of the Japanese Army.

The yellow bar is less than one-third left. (The yellow bar represents the status of ammunition, weapons, and logistical supplies.)
The green bar (the green bar represents the degree of organization, which is directly linked to the strength of the troops, casualties, and quality of the troops) is only one-half.

There were problems not only in logistics.

Even the morale was greatly affected. I wonder if it was related to the fact that two squadron commanders were killed in succession before.

Chu Yunfei estimated that the battle had lasted until now.

The 358th Brigade alone killed almost four thousand Japanese soldiers.

Taking into account the casualties caused by other friendly forces, the current casualties of the 20th Division are at least around 10,000.

The casualties amounted to almost one third.

Huang Shaohong talked to himself for a long time.

Except for Chief of Staff Fang Ligong who echoed a few words.

Chu Yunfei just nodded and said nothing.

Huang Shaohong mistakenly thought that Chu Yunfei didn't like to talk.

Being taciturn, maybe this is what genius is?

Huang Shaohong thought so.

No wonder it was Chief of Staff Fang Ligong who went to the headquarters to receive the task.

I might as well communicate more with Fang Ligong later.

Fang Ligong was also able to answer fluently some doubts and confusions.

It saves a lot of trouble.

As for Chu Yunfei.

Huang Shaohong didn't ask him, so he was happy to have some free time.

He also had a good sleep last night.

It replenished a lot of physical strength and energy lost in commanding operations.

Now he can focus more on the frontline departments.

The 17th Division currently has one-third of the yellow bar left and two-thirds of the green bar left.

Compared to the previous battle at Falu Ridge, the green bar has recovered a lot visibly.

The material supplies from the Taiyuan area are still piled up at the Niangzi Pass front line.

After arriving at the front line.

Presumably the logistical situation could be improved.

It’s a pity that we can’t directly see how much troops the 17th Division has lost.

otherwise.

Chu Yunfei can also make corresponding adjustments.

At this stage.

Zhang Jinzhao's 30th Division under Sun Lianzhong.

The two divisions under Chi Fengcheng of the 31st Division were in the worst condition.

Less than a quarter of the yellow and green bars remain.

The situation of the 27th Division was slightly better.

The yellow and green bars are both one-third.

If we calculate purely based on rough numbers.

The three main divisions under Sun Lianzhong currently have less than 6,000 combat troops left.

Supplies such as weapons and ammunition are basically sold out.

in other words.

If we did not replenish personnel and military equipment and supplies before the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack.

Sun Lianzhong has three main divisions under his command.

There is a high possibility of a crushing defeat in the next battle.

Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army under the command of Sun Lianzhong was in relatively better condition.

But more than half of them were killed or injured.

Feng Qinzai's department.

Except for the 17th Division, the combat effectiveness and logistical conditions were preserved very well.

The 42nd and 169th Divisions under his command were always in an OB state on the edge of the battlefield.

(The deployment position of its main force actually overlapped with the position of the four companies commanded by Qian Bojun at this time, but it is difficult to evaluate this group of people. They were under the banner of waiting for an opportunity to attack from the side, but in fact they were afraid of fighting and avoiding it.)
Just as Chu Yunfei was thinking of finding a reason to withdraw Qian Bojun.

Staff Officer Liu hurried over to report the latest situation.

First of all, good news came again from Taiyuan.

The 38th Army Training Corps, which had previously lost contact.

By chance, I eavesdropped on the phone calls between the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters and the Niangziguan Front Headquarters.

Only then did I realize that the situation at Niangzi Pass was so critical.

Ever since.

This silly boy interrupted the phone directly: "Can we go?", interrupting the conversation between Chief of General Staff Zhu Shouguang and Staff Officer Liu.

"Who's eavesdropping? Who are you?"

Yan Laoxi was suffering from a lack of troops.

After hearing about this.

It was immediately decided to dispatch this force to the Niangzi Pass front line.

After hearing the news.

Chu Yunfei, who had been silent all this time, said, "Captain Huang, can I take command of this unit?"

you?
Huang Shaohong turned around and glanced at Chu Yunfei, who had a serious and earnest expression on his face.

"Yun Fei, you will take charge?"

"Commander Huang, to be honest, I know something about this unit. When I was stationed in western Shanxi, I had an encounter with its commander, Li Zhenxi."

Huang Shaohong nodded without thinking too much: "In that case, Staff Officer Liu, go and give the order and have him bring his men to report to Chengjiazhuang!"

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei was very happy: "Thank you, Chief Huang."

This force.

It is General Yang Hucheng's guard regiment and also the 38th Army Training Regiment.

Everyone is equivalent to a reserve cadre.

What is this concept?

Its specific functions are somewhat similar to those of the Central Military Academy teaching team.

If you plan to incorporate them into various divisions.

Everyone is qualified to be a squad leader or deputy squad leader.

Even if officers and soldiers at all levels are promoted by one level, there will be no problem in their abilities.

Ordinary soldiers also have the ability to command across levels.

Their combat skills are also far superior to those of local army soldiers.

Chu Yunfei, who is well-versed in military history, is well aware of the capabilities and combat effectiveness of this unit.

All members of this unit have junior high school, high school or primary school education.

About three thousand people, fully equipped and organized.

It has two battalions under its jurisdiction.

One of the battalions was equipped with forty-eight light machine guns and eight heavy machine guns.

Just light weapons firepower.

It is not inferior to the main battalion under Chu Yunfei.

There are no veterans in the team.

They are all passionate young people, young, brave and not afraid of sacrifice.

If this army was commanded by Chu Yunfei.

Nature can play a greater role.

Huang Shaohong didn't stay with Chu Yunfei for too long.

After he left.

Fang Ligong could no longer hold back and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "The 38th Army Training Corps is a good unit."

"But, they were originally from the Shaanxi Army... Logically speaking, they would be under the command of Commander Feng when they arrived at the front line."

Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back and looked towards Niangzi Pass in the distance: "Feng Jingye has always had a grudge against General Yang, and this unit is General Yang's guard regiment. If he is allowed to command, these 3,000 people will be in great danger."

"Commander Feng, over there"

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly, not taking the commander of the 27th Army seriously at all: "Why should I, Chu Yunfei, care about the face of this slave of three surnames?"

A slave of three surnames.

The scolding was indeed harsh!

Feng Jingye initially served in the Jin army.

Later, he joined the National Protection Movement against Yuan Shikai and then joined the Shaanxi Army.

Later, during the Xi'an Incident, he sided with Chiang Kai-shek.

Feng Jingye is a capricious person.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a slave of three surnames.
Fang Ligong sighed.

He knew that Feng Jingye and Yan Laoxi had an old grudge against each other.

What's more.

Chu Yunfei has made a decision.

If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say.

What has happened has come to this, no matter what.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the First War Zone has no authority over them.

I'm offended.. then I'm offended
Their 358th Brigade is a combat unit directly under the Second War Zone.

Fang Ligong sighed silently in his heart.

If Commander Yan knew about this, I'm afraid he would be so happy that he wouldn't even have time to express it!
"Captain Bian was injured"

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and sighed: "I have ordered him to be sent to Yangquan for full treatment. His arm cannot be saved, but at least he is still alive."

Fang Ligong felt a little regretful: "This is a fierce general. Now that he has lost an arm, he will never be able to lead a charge again."

"As long as he's alive, there's still a chance. I promised him that I would take him back to the Northeast and drive away the Japanese!"

Fang Ligong was stunned.

Chu Yunfei had already turned around and walked towards the command center.

As he walked, he sang the song "On the Songhua River" that Bian Fucheng often sang.

My home is in the Northeast, on the Songhua River~!

There are forests, coal mines, and mountains and fields full of soybeans and sorghum.

There are my compatriots and my aging parents.

September 18, September 18, since that tragic event
September 18th, September 18th! From that tragic time

Out of my hometown,
Abandon the endless treasures and wander! Wander!

I've been wandering inside the pass all day!
In which year and month can I return to my lovely hometown?

In which year and month can we recover the endless treasure? !

Fang Ligong stood there silently, looking in the direction of Chu Yunfei.

Before the Anti-Japanese War broke out in Shanxi.

At that time, there were many soldiers reorganized from the Northeast Army in the 358th Regiment and various units of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Fang Ligong originally thought.

Fighting back to the Northeast and retaking the four eastern provinces is just Chu Yunfei's means to win over the hearts of the people.

But now it seems.
He really wanted to take this group of Northeastern men with him.

Fight back to the four eastern provinces, fight back to their hometowns.

Yeah, he never seems to mean more than just talk.
