Chapter 113 The second in command of the 358 regiment (for subscription support)

Chen Ziyun commanded the Artillery Battalion to obtain major results in the night attack and counterattack, which made Chu Yunfei directly break the routine and completely hand over the command to Chen Ziyun.

Five infantry battalions and one artillery battalion were all under the command of Chen Ziyun. At this time, Chen Ziyun was equivalent to the position of regimental commander in the front line.

Of course, in order to take care of Qian Bojun's emotions, Chu Yunfei deliberately withdrew his first battalion to rest and serve as the reserve team.

In this way, the situation where Chen Ziyun commanded Qian Bojun to fight would be avoided, and this was to save him some face.

However, from Chu Yunfei's appointment, everyone knew that in the 358 regiment, Chen Ziyun had quietly become the second only to Chu Yunfei.

After all, even Fang Ligong, Chu Yunfei's most trusted chief of staff, did not receive such treatment.

The 358th Regiment Headquarters began to transmit orders, and the various ministries were mobilized immediately.

More than 1000 troops from the fifth and sixth battalions quickly moved forward, and they came to the forward starting position of the Japanese and puppet troops to defend.

After the two battalions arrived, Chen Ziyun immediately met with the two battalion commanders.

The Fifth Battalion and Sixth Battalion are newly expanded troops, and the officers of the battalion and company are all direct descendants promoted by Chu Yunfei himself.

They completely obeyed Chu Yunfei's orders, so they treated Chen Ziyun very respectfully.

The two battalion commanders received combat missions, and they began to reinforce the position, making it the first-line position of the 358 regiment.

The guard company and cavalry company under the artillery battalion have not yet withdrawn, and they also stay here as a reserve force.

Of course, the light machine guns and submachine guns drawn from the battalions began to return to the establishment.

"Contact the regiment headquarters and let them find a way to get a batch of 81MM caliber mortar shells."

"In addition, the guard company and the cavalry company also suffered casualties in this battle. Let Chu Yu and Zhang Wu go directly to select the prisoners of the puppet army to supplement them."

"I will say hello to the regiment headquarters. These two companies must quickly restore their formation, and they will play the leading role in the next battle."

"Transfer the battalion headquarters of the artillery battalion to the first-line position, and establish contact with various ministries, especially the artillery company and the artillery observation team."

After meeting and discussing with the two battalion commanders, Chen Ziyun called the messenger, and he began to issue combat orders.

Chen Ziyun has been here for a while and has been in contact with Chu Yunfei, plus he has known Chu Yunfei for a long time.

He knew that Chu Yunfei had advanced the deployment of the two battalions, and he obviously had ideas.

If Chu Yunfei just wanted to fight defensively, then he could have arranged for Chen Ziyun to withdraw his troops and defend the high ground behind with all his strength.

The high ground holds an absolute advantage in terrain, as long as it defends here, it can completely block the little devil's attack.

But now he is mobilizing troops to advance, which is obviously to prepare for the follow-up attack.

And judging from the current situation, the 358 regiment definitely has the capital to attack!
What Chen Ziyun has to do now is to deploy everything well. As long as the order to attack is given, they can quickly launch operations and obtain the results of the battle.

"Ding dong, the system has issued a mission!"

"Kill Katayama Shotaro, Major General of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army!"

At around seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun finally sat on a chair to catch his breath.

He just sat down when the mechanical sound of the system sounded.

After hearing the system task, Chen Ziyun frowned slightly, with a solemn expression on his face.

The task given by the system this time is somewhat difficult. It is not an easy task to kill a major general brigade commander.

Even if the independent and mixed fourth brigade was hit, it paid a lot of casualties.

But they still have strong heavy weapons. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to kill Katayama Shotaro.

However, Chen Ziyun hesitated for a while about the system's task, but chose to accept it.

After all, as long as you complete the task, you can get different rewards.

The artillery azimuth map of the Yangcun area given by the system last time is very important, and it will play a decisive role in this battle.

With such a reward, but being able to kill more little devils, this is something Chen Ziyun is very willing to do.

And if a major general brigade commander of the Japanese army can be killed, it will also deal a great blow to the morale of the Japanese army.

Chen Ziyun chose to accept the task, so naturally he couldn't be idle.

After eating something, he hurried to the guard company to check the situation.

The matter of killing Katayama Shotaro must be handed over to the guard company to complete.

At this time, there was no battle on the battlefield for the time being, and the 358th regiment confronted the Japanese and puppet troops.

At the headquarters of the Seventh Army of the Jinsui Army, Zhao Yinfu, the commander-in-chief at this time, stood in front of the map with a face full of surprise.

Several staff officers checked the document repeatedly, and they confirmed the content of the document.

Then they simulated on the map, just a few deduction, the results are beyond their imagination.

"The Japanese and puppet troops have more than tens of thousands of troops, and they have many heavy machine guns and mortars. They also have an absolute advantage in the number of artillery."

"Judging from the results of our several deduction, no matter what, even if the 358 regiment can hold its position, it will definitely pay heavy casualties."

"However, according to their reports, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops were almost 5000 people, and they also carried out effective counterattacks and achieved great results."

"Boss, Captain Chu Yunfei, wouldn't he report the results of the battle? After all, such a result is almost impossible."

The staff members looked at Zhao Yinfu with puzzled expressions on their faces and said.

Zhao Yinfu frowned, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Yan Laoxi arranged the Chu Yunfei group under his command, which was undoubtedly a hot potato for Zhao Yinfu.

Especially now that they have developed to a certain extent, Zhao Yinfu can hardly control his troops.

But thinking of Chu Yunfei's past, he shook his head and rejected the staff's statement.

Other people might falsely report their military exploits, but Chu Yunfei is very arrogant, and he doesn't bother to do such things.

"Chu Yunfei comes from a wealthy family and is a student of the emperor. He will not falsely report his military exploits."

"Looking at it now, the 358th Regiment has indeed achieved great results. I really didn't expect that their regiment could block the attack of tens of thousands of puppet troops!"

"Even if they have 6000 troops, being able to do this is enough to prove that the regiment is strong."

"Jin Sui Army can have such troops, whether it is for the elders of the three Jins or the appointment of the accompanying capital, Commander Yan can be regarded as an account."

"It's a pity for Chen Ziyun. If he is one of us, his future is limitless!"

"Immediately report the situation of the 358 regiment to the Chief Ministry, and ask Chief Yan to make detailed instructions and arrangements."

"In addition, in the name of the general headquarters, Chen Ziyun, commander of the 358th Regiment, Artillery Battalion Commander, and Infantry Commander, will be commended."

After Zhao Yinfu pondered for a moment, he immediately ordered.

"Yes, Chief." The staff officer on the side immediately agreed.

The message from the Seventh Army General Headquarters was sent to Yan Laoxi soon.

When Yan Laoxi confirmed the achievements of the 358 regiment, Yan Laoxi couldn't hide the excited expression on his face.

After all, after fighting for so many years, the Jinsui Army often has an absolute advantage, but they have lost battles time and time again.

As the absolute ruler of Jin Province, Yan Laoxi inevitably has no way to give an explanation to the people of Jin Province.

He also knows that the hearts and minds he has accumulated are also being lost bit by bit.

After all, the little devils burned, killed and looted in Jin Province. Now whoever can fight the devils and win the battle, the people will support him.

After the Jinsui army retreated to Jinxi, they kept flirting with the little devil. Yan Laoxi just wanted to preserve his own strength.

After all, he also knows that without this strength, he, the commander of the theater, is nothing but an empty air.

For example, the famous defected general, because he had no military power, even after he became the commander-in-chief, even his old subordinates of the Northwest Army would not follow his orders.

"Okay, okay, no matter what, Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are both from my hometown in Jin Province."

"The 358th Regiment also belongs to our Jinsui Army's battle order. From today onwards, let me see who dares to say that our Jinsui Army doesn't fight little devils!"

"Contact the General Headquarters of the Seventh Army, promote Chen Ziyun to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and at the same time serve as lieutenant colonel of the 358 regiment, commander of the artillery battalion, and commander of the infantry!"

"Chen Ziyun is in charge of the Lieutenant Colonel Regiment Attachment, and the Major Regiment Attachment has the authority. Liang Guoping, the former Lieutenant Colonel Regiment Attachment, was transferred to the Deputy Battalion Commander of the Artillery Battalion to assist Chen Ziyun in commanding!"

"In addition, in my own name, I will award fifteen gold bars to Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358 regiment, and ten gold bars to Chen Ziyun, the infantry commander."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yan Laoxi gave the order directly.

He promoted Chen Ziyun's military rank, and completely let Chen Ziyun hold the powers of Lieutenant Colonel and Major at the same time.

The so-called group attachment actually depends on the face of the head of the group. Chen Ziyun has Chu Yunfei's trust, and his power as a group attachment will naturally expand infinitely.

What's more, after serving as the artillery battalion commander and infantry commander at the same time, Chen Ziyun can definitely be regarded as the second in command of the 358 regiment!
Of course, Yan Laoxi is very stingy with the troops of the Eighth Route Army, but he is very generous with the troops of the Jinsui Army.

Especially now that he needs to try his best to win over Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun, so this time he gave the gold bars in his own name.

There are a total of 25 gold bars, although they are only small yellow croakers, but each one weighs one or two.

You must know that gold bars are an absolute hard currency at this time. Chen Ziyun's ten gold bars, that is, a catty of small yellow croakers, can buy a lot of things.

The minister's department immediately issued a telegram here, and at the same time appointed personnel to go to the 358th regiment's position to deliver gold bars directly.

Yan Laoxi was very satisfied with the results of the 358 regiment. As for the little devil, Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, was naturally extremely angry.

Shinozuka Yoshio belongs to the schoolmaster type, and he is known as a scholar in the army. His personality is not bad.

He is usually very gentle and rarely gets angry, which is very rare for the personnel of the military headquarters.

It's just that the current Shinozuka Yoshio, even though he tried his best to control him, still had an angry expression on his face.

"A brigade reinforced with heavy weapons is also accompanied by a mixed brigade of the Royal Association Army, with tens of thousands of troops."

"They attacked a reinforced regiment of the Jinsui Army with all their strength, and even paid thousands of casualties. Instead of breaking through the position, their own position was seized."

"This is simply the greatest shame of the First Army. All officers of the Independent and Mixed Fourth Brigade should apologize by cutting open their stomachs!"

"And what exactly do the Jinsui Army want to do? Don't they worry that we will attack them with all our strength and wipe out their remaining troops?"

Shinozuka Yoshio pointed to the location of Yangcun area on the map, and he roared angrily.

Here in Jin Province, the little devils mainly deal with the Eighth Route Army and the Zhongtiaoshan Wei Junru Army.

The Jinsui Army has a tacit understanding with them, and the two sides rarely launch large-scale battles.

Even the two sides had contact in private, and even some small-scale battles stopped one after another.

For the little devils, the Jinsui Army has good weapons and equipment, but their combat effectiveness is poor, so they can be wooed.

The 358 regiment launched combat operations one after another in the Cangyunling and Yangcun areas, bringing blows to the Japanese army.

The First Army felt that it was necessary to beat Yan Laoxi to let him know how powerful the Japanese army was.

Therefore, tens of thousands of troops were dispatched to prepare to annihilate the 358 regiment, the new regiment and other troops.

However, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered a disastrous defeat. Yoshio Shinozuka could not accept the result.

It is obvious that he was once again severely slapped in the face by the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army!
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 358th Regiment only has a regiment-level designation, but its actual strength is not weaker than any division of the Jinsui Army."

"And they also have reinforcements from the artillery battalion. According to the report from the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade, they have set up clever positions for defense."

"In combat, they gave full play to their own weapon advantages and adopted infantry and artillery for coordinated defense, so we didn't gain anything."

"Chu Yunfei is a graduate of Whampoa, and his command ability is strong. Looking at it now, he should have relatively good officers to assist him."

"According to the current situation, it is almost impossible for us to break through the 358 regiment's position directly from the front."

At this time, Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi came in front of Shinozuka Yoshio, and he said with a serious expression on his face.

Shinozuka Yoshio gradually calmed down his anger, and he looked carefully at the map.

The frontal positions of the 358 regiment are mainly built on high ground, and they integrate their own weapon advantages into the terrain.

Sophisticated weapons combined with favorable terrain, coupled with the perfect coordination of rifles, made it difficult for the Japanese and puppet troops to break through.

If you can't break through from the 358th regiment, then the Japanese and puppet troops can only attack from other directions.

"The new regiment of the Eighth Route in Yangcun, the Eighth Route's weapons and equipment are poor, and there are not many troops."

"Let Katayama Shotaro attack Yangcun and annihilate the Eighth Route Shinichi Regiment. Then they bypass Yangcun, bypass the high ground, and attack the rear of the 358th regiment!"

"As long as we bypass the high ground, the terrain advantage of the 358th regiment will disappear, and we will be sure to completely eliminate them!"

Shinozuka Yoshio showed a smile on his face. He pointed to the map and said directly.

After Kusuyama Hideyoshi pondered for a while, he nodded in agreement.

Soon, the command of the First Army began to transmit orders.

It was at this time that the head of the second section, the head of the second class, hurried to Shinozuka Yoshio with a telegram.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we have just received an important piece of intelligence from inside."

"The Chief of the Second War Zone commended Chen Ziyun for the attachment of the 358th Regiment, and recently, Chen Ziyun has been the focus of repeated discussions by the Chief's Department."

"So we speculate from insiders that the 358 regiment's success in recent victories may have something to do with this Chen Ziyun."

After the chief came over, he immediately saluted and reported.

The little devil's intelligence agency is very powerful, and they already knew of Chen Ziyun's existence at this time.

"Investigate Chen Ziyun with all my strength, I need to know everything about him in the shortest possible time." Yoshio Shinozuka said with a gloomy face.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The chief of the chief officer replied immediately.

With the command of the First Army Command, Shotaro Katayama, who was on the front line, began to prepare to attack the Yangcun Xinyi Regiment.
