Rise from the sword

Chapter 169 I am jealous of Yan Laoxi
Something happened in Taiyuan.

Who was the first to know?

Of course it was Yan Laoxi who regarded Taiyuan as his hometown.

Although this old man was chased away by the devils, he still misses his Taiyuan day and night, especially his precious lifeblood Taiyuan Iron and Steel Factory and Taiyuan Armory Factory. He counterattacks Taiyuan every day and takes back his property. dream.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi deployed a large number of intelligence personnel in Taiyuan, and he was the first to know when there was any disturbance in Taiyuan.

The devils were helpless about this. After all, this place was Yan Laoxi's territory before, and it was difficult for a strong dragon to suppress a local snake. They tried their best to get rid of it.

Before, Yoshio Shinozuka left Taiyuan with the main force. After Yan Laoxi knew about it, he planned for a long time to take back Taiyuan. Fortunately, he counted the skills in his hands with his fingers and honestly gave up.

"What did you say?"

At this time, in the headquarters of the Jinsui Army, Yan Laoxi's voice was shocked, and his face was also shocked: "Taiyuan City has been attacked?"

He was full of doubts about the news he had just heard.

Attacking Taiyuan and then taking back Taiyuan, he thought about it all the time, but he could only think about it, even if the main force of the devils left Taiyuan City, he still only dared to think about it.

Taiyuan City is the base of the Devil's first army. Even if the devil's main force has left now, with the devil's alert and defensive means, his army will definitely be discovered before it approaches [-] kilometers from Taiyuan. Sui Jun's possessions are all accounted for.

Moreover, the city of Taiyuan is high and the pool is deep. As long as the opponent leaves a brigade to defend, he doesn't have a heavy artillery now.

"Correct!"

The intelligence personnel were also shocked: "This morning, the Japanese army Taiyuan was attacked by unknown forces. According to the observations of our lurking intelligence personnel in Taiyuan, the devils suffered a lot, especially the airport, which was intensively bombarded by the attacking troops. shrouded."

"but···"

"The specific situation is not well understood."

Although he was able to know the major events in Taiyuan, Yan Laoxi was still a little bit powerless about the specific circumstances of this attack. After all, Taiyuan was already the territory of the devils, and his people couldn't go around looking for news like before.

Coupled with the lag of news in this era.

So at this time, Yan Laoxi didn't know which unit did it.

"The Japanese Taiyuan Airport was intensively bombarded?"

"lost heavily?"

Hearing this, Yan Laoxi took a deep breath of cool air, and then let it out heavily, suddenly feeling more at ease than ever before.

Looking back at the days when he was kicked out of Taiyuan, I don't know how many Jinsui troops died at the hands of the devil's planes. Now I heard that the devil's airport was shelled, and the planes suffered heavy losses.

Over the past few years, the aggrieved people who were beaten by the Japanese army and fled their old nests have become much less aggrieved.

Suddenly want to drink a meal.

At the beginning, Yan Laoxi also formed an air force, and he knew the cost of maintaining an air force, and he also knew the cost of aircraft.Taiyuan Airport was bombarded, and the smoke was billowing. It is foreseeable that the devil's aircraft loss will definitely not be small, at least a dozen or so.

That's a lot of money!

Enough for the little devil to feel distressed!

"Check it out for me."

"Activate everyone."

Yan Laoxi's tone was full of loyalty: "We must find out who bombed the Japanese army's airport in Taiyuan. This is a great hero. I want to personally thank him for the Jinsui Army and all Shanxi people."

"The sooner the better."

Hey, if only his own army did this... Yan Laoxi was thinking jealously, but unfortunately, he can only think about it, he has already asked, this matter has nothing to do with his Jinsui Army not related.

"Yes."

The intelligence officer raised his tone and said.

Before the intelligence personnel went out, another piece of intelligence from Taiyuan came over.

"Army seat, according to the intelligence personnel's observation, the cavalry of those who attacked Taiyuan City seem to be wearing earth gray military uniforms, and it seems to be..." The staff officer looked at it, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said the information. specific information.

Because the battlefield was fierce and the devils blocked the city gate, Yan Laoxi's intelligence personnel only dared to peek from afar.

earthy gray...

Yan Xishan was silent for a long time after hearing this.

He had already verified that it wasn't his Jinsui Army who did it. Although there are many and mixed troops around Shanxi, there are only one or two capable of doing this.

······
The 358 regiment is stationed.

Deputy official Gong Gong walked into the regiment headquarters with a dull expression.

In his hand he held a telegram he had just received.

Obviously, this adjutant who was highly valued by Chu Yunfei was in extreme shock at this moment.He seemed unbelievable about the content of the telegram in his hand, so that his expression completely lost his composure.

"Brother Li Gong, you came just in time."

In the exquisitely decorated room, a huge map was placed on the central table. Chu Yunfei was looking at the map with white gloves on, his eyes were filled with joy and solemnity.

When he saw Fang Ligong approaching, he didn't look up, but beckoned:

"Let's take a look, this is the latest Jinchaji situation map I asked the staff to make."

"The situation map of Jinchaji?"

Fang Ligong was stunned for a moment, clamped the new telegram in his hand, stepped forward and looked at the table.

On the square table is the map of the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei. On the high-precision and equal-scale map, arrows of various colors are intertwined, and jagged horizontal lines are placed in a mess, making the whole map look quite chaotic.

But as a military adjutant, Fang Ligong naturally has excellent military quality and staff skills. He can see the overview of such a complicated map at a glance.

This map is a map of the situation in the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei province and its surrounding areas.

Arrows of three colors intertwined with each other represent the Japanese Army, the Eighth Route Army and the Guofu Army.The zigzag line divides the spheres of influence of all parties.It shows that the exchanges between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese forces are almost completely intertwined, showing that the two forces are in full swing.

Moreover, vaguely, the Eighth Route Army actually had the upper hand.

"Tuan Zuo, is this information sent by the theater command?"

Fang Ligong asked.

Naturally, the [-]th Regiment cannot directly understand the battle situation in the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region and its surrounding provinces. Only the theater-level staff can gather information through intelligence agencies at all levels.However, the [-]th Regiment is a big regiment, the main force, and its status is higher than that of ordinary divisions. Moreover, its own regiment is a high-achieving student from Whampoa, and is highly valued by the commander of the war zone. All these information will be sent to the [-]th Regiment.

"Yes, this is the situation in the enemy-occupied areas of North China."

Chu Yunfei's tone was amazed.

"Enemy-occupied area..."

Fang Ligong muttered.

The enemy-occupied area is the territory of the devils, and it is also the territory of the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, he finally understood why Tuan Zuo had a mixed expression of joy and solemnity.

He is also very clear about what happened in the enemy-occupied area recently. The government's confidant is a serious problem, and the army that has always been swimming and not fighting has finally launched a frontal attack, just like the government's long-cherished wish.

But there seems to be something wrong with this offense.

The national government asked them to attack because they wanted this group of people and the devils to suffer mutual losses, not for them to beat the devils to pieces, nor for this group of people to suddenly grow to 40 to [-] people.

"From September 5 to now, in just four years, from 40 people and three divisions at the beginning, it has grown to nearly [-] people today, and a hundred regiments can be mobilized to fight at the same time."

When Chu Yunfei said this, he paused, his tone became more serious, and his face was full of dignity:

"You know, this group of people doesn't have any supplies of materials and weapons, and the surrounding area is completely blocked by the Japanese army. Except for the small amount of legal currency in the government every month, everything else is settled by themselves. The legal currency was stopped a few months ago. "

"Under such circumstances, in just over three years, they not only survived in the Japanese-occupied area, but also expanded their military nearly tenfold."

"There are such troops in enemy-occupied areas. It is fortunate for the Republic of China and the nation."

"but····"

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei didn't say any more.

"I haven't noticed before that it is not difficult to develop more than 30 new troops in three years, considering the population of our country, and it can even be done easily with some means, but..."

Fang Ligong's expression was equally dignified:
"There is no supplies, there is not enough military expenditure, and it is even in an enemy-occupied area, facing the enemy's complete blockade, this..."

How sad the days after the blockade are, they have recently experienced it deeply.

Now the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway has been cut off, the China-Myanmar border has also been banned from material circulation, the number of weapons from abroad to the country has been reduced by two-thirds, prices have soared, the currency has devalued, and even the hearts of the soldiers are in turmoil.Their main force group feels a little sad when they have the priority to supply supplies, let alone other troops.

And that group of people, that army, has been completely blocked by the Japanese, and all supplies need to be resolved by themselves.

How do they maintain morale?How can those stupid strong men maintain such a strong fighting power?Can you still attack the Japanese?

Fang Ligong couldn't figure it out.

"By the way, group seat."

He suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit: "The commander of the war zone, come here, this is the latest information from the direction of Taiyuan."

"What information?" Chu Yunfei asked.

"The Japanese flying brigade stationed at Taiyuan Airport was destroyed by shelling. Judging from intelligence, the devils definitely suffered heavy losses this time."

Fang Ligong handed over the telegram, and then said word by word.

"what?"

Chu Yunfei quickly took the telegram, and his tone suddenly increased by an octave: "Who did it? Are you so courageous?"

Bombarding the airport is easy to say, but it is so difficult to execute that it is almost unimaginable.

It is very difficult for an artillery company to sneak around Taiyuan without being discovered by the devils. First of all, it must be an elite unit that is good at mountain maneuvering, and it must have a deployment map of the devils' garrison near Taiyuan, otherwise it is impossible to even think about it.

"Dust gray military uniform, it looks like..."

After reading the telegram in his hand, Chu Yunfei read it several times before he suddenly said: "That's right, since we didn't do this, then only their group of people have the strength gone."

"However, how could they have such strength?"

Then he frowned, puzzled.

"Even if they have the ability to allow hundreds of people to touch the vicinity of Taiyuan without being discovered, where did they get so many shells? According to intelligence, the shelling was extremely violent, at least thousands of shells were fired."

"Where did they get so many shells?"

"And even dispatched cavalry to approach the city wall..."

"What's the use of cavalry?"

The head of Chu's group keenly discovered the irrationality of this information.

"I don't know why the other party sent cavalry, but according to reliable sources, when the Li Yunlong Regiment of the Eighth Route Army wiped out a squadron of the Japanese Kwantung Army near Taiyuan, there was good mortar firepower."

Fang Ligong remembered the past.

"Li Yunlong."

Chu Yunfei smiled suddenly: "Mr. Yan also asked me to recruit this person as the head of the main regiment. Next time the two armies exchange, I will meet him for a while."

After killing Colonel Sakata, defeating the Sakata United Squadron, and annihilating a squadron of the Kwantung Army, Chief Li's ability to do things made Yan Laoxi jealous.

"Keep in touch with your superiors at all times, and let me know whenever you have news."

"I'd like to see, it's that guy who dared to raid and bombard the devil's airport after taking the guts of a leopard."

Chu Yunfei patted the table with excitement in his tone:

"Although we will meet each other in battle in the future, we are still friendly forces and have a common enemy. If the other party destroys the Taiyuan Devils Airport, our pressure will be relieved a lot."

"And, next, the Japanese will definitely mobilize their forces to deal with this group of people."

"Correct."

Fang Ligong nodded: "Although this group of people won a big victory, they have also exposed their strength. In addition, the Japanese have suffered such a big loss this time, and they will definitely be encircled and suppressed by soldiers."

······
"Mad..."

Headquarters, Staff Department, Staff Officer Mo slapped the table, and said a foul word in a bitter tone: "This group of dogs are raised by dogs. Fighting devils is not good, but internal friction is good."

"what happened?"

Aside, another staff officer asked.

"Humph."

Staff Officer Mo snorted coldly: "The national government gave us a hat to provoke friction and stopped our military expenditure."

He gritted his teeth with anger.

Obviously it was you who initiated the friction, and you were the ones who took the initiative to shoot, but you didn't hit anyone else, and you put a label on it instead, and you are wronged.

"Hey···"

The staff officer on the side also sighed and did not continue to say anything.

This matter has been expected for a long time, and I have been procrastinating and delaying it before, and I have been prepared for the complete cut off of military expenditure and being splashed with dirty water, but when the real thing comes, it is still very fucking annoying.

It's so fucking shameless.

"No, no."

The staff officer sighed: "Anyway, the depreciation rate of French currency is not worth much. Let's tighten our belts and grit our teeth to get through it. I won't receive my allowance this month."

Headquarters staff enjoy battalion-level treatment, three monthly subsidies, legal currency!
Staff Officer Mo sighed and did not speak.His allowance has long since ceased to be received.

"Usually when we are free, we also open up wasteland and plant a few acres of land. Not only can we improve our lives, but we can also improve our living standards!" A staff officer with eyes said an idea:
"Learn from that boy Li Yunlong. He is a rich man. He handles all the weapons, ammunition, food and supplies by himself, and supports the headquarters and other troops."

"Haha, that's a good idea." Staff Officer Mo laughed.

Although the staff department is busy, there is still time to squeeze in.

"Consultant Mo, new information, the devil's Taiyuan airport was bombarded by unknown troops and suffered heavy losses."
