People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 134 Qian Bojun sells information
Although Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army is carrying out the task of diverting and creating a war this time, they are a little bit pretending to be real.

They got the news of this battle very early, and in order to enhance their combat effectiveness, they also deployed heavy weapons outside the pass to strengthen them.

The four Liao-made field guns used to deal with the 358 regiment and the new regiment belonged to this batch of heavy weapons.

Wei Junru's troops defended the Zhongtiao Mountain area to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the Yellow River and attacking Shaanxi Province and other areas.

With the Zhongtiaoshan antenna as the core, they defended one after another to block the Japanese attacks one after another.

The little devil calls it the cecum, and here it is also known as the Oriental Maginot.

The First Army mobilized heavy troops several times to launch attacks, but each time they returned without success.

Even as long as there is an opportunity, these troops will immediately launch a counterattack, causing casualties to the First Army.

Currently in the First Army of the Japanese Army in Jin Province, there are only three divisions and four independent mixed brigades.

However, its three divisions are all deployed in the southern Shanxi area, and they mainly guard against the troops of Zhongtiaoshan Wei Junru.

For the first time, to the east of Zhongtiao Mountain, there is also the 35th Division directly under the North China Front Army in the northern Henan area. The main force of the division is also focused on guarding against the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders.

In addition, in the south of Hebei Province, there are also troops here, forming a check on the southeast of Shanxi.

In order to deal with the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, the North China Front Army deployed four or five divisions.

For them, Wei Junru's troops deployed in Zhongtiao Mountain are their serious worries.

And Wei Junru has always been known as a tiger general, and his command ability is not weak. Since he commanded the troops to enter Jin Province, he has also commanded the troops to obtain results.

Yoshio Shinozuka assembled his troops to launch an attack this time. There were not many troops, but there were a lot of heavy weapons. They were not just holding back to fight.

The First Army hopes to obtain results through this battle, and they even hope to seize the outer positions and oppress these troops to Zhongtiao Mountain.

From the point of view of the little devil, if these troops can be suppressed to Zhongtiao Mountain, they will naturally have an advantage in the follow-up battle.

Guo Jiqiao judged the premeditation of the Japanese army, so he quickly reported it.

After Wei Junru got the report, he stood in front of the map with a solemn expression on his face.

"Order all ministries to defend themselves according to the predetermined plan."

"At the same time, contact the Chief of the Second War Zone to let them carry out cooperative operations."

"In addition, in my name, contact the Eighth Route Army and ask them to help us defend."

"Also, contact Chu Yunfei's Independent 48th Brigade!"

"Now that the main force of the Japanese army is concentrated in southern Shanxi, the defenses in other areas must be very empty."

"Let them take the initiative to attack the Japanese troops and support our operations here."

After a moment of contemplation, Wei Junru said with a serious expression on his face.

Of course, he himself knew that contacting Yan Laoxi and asking the Jinsui army to cooperate in the battle was nothing more than a formality.

The Jinsui army is now mainly to preserve their strength, so they will not engage in large-scale battles with the little devils for the sake of the Zhongtiaoshan troops.

Therefore, Wei Junru placed his hopes on the Eighth Route Army and the Independent 48th Brigade. He hoped that these troops could effectively cooperate in operations.

"Yes, Chief Wei." Guo Jiqiao immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Jiqiao began to arrange power generation.

Here at the First Theater Commander's Department, telegrams began to be sent out.

Yan Laoxi quickly called back, saying that he would fully deploy troops to assist in the battle.

Of course, he only asked the various ministries to launch a symbolic attack in a formal manner, and he certainly would not actually start a war with the Japanese troops.

At 48 o'clock in the evening on the [-]th, the Independent [-]th Brigade received a message from Wei Junru.

Chu Yunfei immediately discussed with Chief of Staff Fang Ligong, and soon a large number of officers began to be called together.

Chen Ziyun was also preparing to take the guard company and cavalry company for evening training. After receiving the order, he came to the brigade headquarters immediately.

When Chen Ziyun arrived, most of the officers were already sitting on the chairs in the meeting room.

Around 08:30, all the officers above the battalion of the Independent 48th Brigade gathered in the meeting room of the brigade headquarters.

Standing in front of the map, Chu Yunfei picked up his baton and introduced in detail the combat situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi.

"Chief Wei sent an urgent message. He hoped that our brigade could attack quickly and take the initiative to attack the Japanese troops."

"Currently the main force of the First Army is concentrated in the southern Shanxi area, and the defenses in other areas must be very empty."

"With our current strength, we can take the initiative to launch an attack, which can pose a threat to the Japanese army, so as to support the Zhongtiaoshan operation."

"After discussing with Director Fang, I decided to deploy the main force to launch combat operations."

"I just don't know if you have any better combat suggestions."

After receiving Wei Junru's telegram, Chu Yunfei decided to execute his combat order without much hesitation.

Wei Junru is one of the five tiger generals who accompany the principal of the capital, and there are many Central Army troops under his command.

Chu Yunfei, who graduated from Whampoa Phase Five, naturally would not stand by and watch.

In the original play, during the battle at Cangyun Ridge, Fang Ligong said that if other friendly troops were fighting, they would help even if they were disobedient.

What's more, Wei Junru, who is now giving the order, is also serving as the deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong had relatively unified opinions, and they wanted to attack directly.

And after the officers gathered, Chu Yunfei directly expressed his attitude and did not give anyone else a chance to refuse.

If these officers want to speak, they can only make combat suggestions.

As for vetoing the plan to send troops, it was obviously to directly confront Chu Yunfei.

Up to now, even Qian Bojun has to avoid direct confrontation with Chu Yunfei on such an issue.

After all, Chu Yunfei was the brigade commander of the independent 48th brigade at this time, and there was a big difference in status between them and Chu Yunfei.

"Brigade seat, my brigade has just been supplemented and is still running in. If there is a large-scale battle, there may be accidents."

"That's why I suggest sending a small number of elite troops to attack, so that we can complete the commander's combat orders without hitting the main force of our brigade."

"Speaking of which, Commander Chen Ziyun is especially good at this kind of combat. I think it is most appropriate for Commander Chen Ziyun to command a small number of troops to attack."

"I believe that with Commander Chen's ability, he will be able to complete the combat mission well this time."

After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, the officers remained silent for a while.

As the infantry commander, Qian Bojun glanced at Chen Ziyun playfully, then immediately got up and said.

He recommended Chen Ziyun to command a small number of troops to attack, so as to attack the Japanese troops.

Qian Bojun is insidious and cunning enough. You must know that after the independent and mixed fourth brigade was wiped out, the Japanese army's various ministries stepped up their vigilance.

Chen Ziyun commanded a small number of troops to attack, and he might be attacked by the Japanese army, and his life might even be in danger.

And if he fights some innocuous battles, it will not affect the Japanese army, so he will not be able to support the Zhongtiaoshan battle.

At that time, if Wei Junru was held accountable, Chen Ziyun would definitely become a scapegoat.

"Brigade, Commander Chen commanded a small number of troops before, and achieved great results in Qingshan Town, annihilating more than 1000 Japanese troops."

"I believe that if Commander Chen can command the troops to attack this time, he will definitely be able to obtain results, so as to support the Zhongtiao Mountain operation."

"Commander Wei took good care of Commander Chen and gave him several awards. Commander Chen should reciprocate this time."

"Brigade seat, Chen Ziyun commanding a small number of troops to attack is obviously the best choice for combat."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fugui, the battalion commander of the [-]th Independent Battalion, got up immediately and echoed Qian Bojun's suggestion.

These two people were obviously digging holes for Chen Ziyun, they wanted to ruin Chen Ziyun's reputation all the time.

"Ding dong, the system information has been opened."

"In the near future, the garrison in Mongolia will transport a batch of heavy weapons and ammunition directly to the front line in southern Shanxi through the Tongpu Railway."

"Ding dong, the system has issued a mission to destroy the Shanxi-North Tongpu Railway and destroy the blockhouses along the way."

Chen Ziyun was about to stand up and annoy Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui just now, but the system sounded mechanically.

The system rewarded a piece of information before, but Chen Ziyun checked it several times, but he couldn't read the content.

He didn't expect that the system would directly provide relevant information now.

A batch of heavy weapons and ammunition instantly aroused Chen Ziyun's interest.

During this period of time, Chen Ziyun was not idle. While training the troops, he was also searching for them in the whole brigade.

He found [-] officers and soldiers with potential by using the eye-knowledge skill given by the system.

Afterwards, through Chu Yunfei, he transferred all these officers and soldiers to the troops under his jurisdiction.

Up to now, the artillery battalion and other units under the command of Chen Ziyun can be described as elite soldiers and strong future.

The system gave relevant information and issued combat missions, so there was nothing to say.

"Brigade, since Commander Qian and Battalion Commander Zhang don't have the guts to fight the Japanese army, then I am willing to command the troops to fight."

"I am willing to command the artillery battalion, the fifth and sixth battalions of the independent infantry, the guard company directly under the brigade headquarters, and the cavalry company to attack."

"If this battle fails to achieve results, the brigade will not have to hold me accountable if I support the Zhongtiaoshan defenders in the battle."

"Because at that time, I, Chen Ziyun, will definitely throw my head on the Tongpu Railway to atone for the crime of ineffectiveness in the battle."

Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei, and he said with a serious expression.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui were very upset when they heard that Chen Ziyun wanted to transfer two independent infantry battalions to join the battle.

But when they heard that Chen Ziyun had issued a military order, the two of them sat on chairs without saying anything.

"Ziyun, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, you don't need to issue a military order, I trust you."

"In this case, I will approve your combat request."

"Liang Guoping, Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yujia, and order Chu Yu and Zhang Wu Company Commander."

"You follow Ziyun to fight together, and you must obey Ziyun's command."

"I hope you can follow Ziyun to achieve results and effectively respond to the defense of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Another [-] baggage soldiers will be drawn from the baggage company, and let them follow you."

With a serious expression on his face, Chu Yunfei directly gave the order and said.

Chen Ziyun commanded two infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, guard companies, cavalry companies, and heavy soldiers to follow in the battle.

The total strength of these troops exceeds 2000, and it is completely a multi-arms mixed combat force, and its combat effectiveness is far greater than that of an ordinary infantry regiment.

Who will command the operations and how many troops to attack have already been decided.

Chu Yunfei wanted to draw up a battle plan, but Chen Ziyun asked Chu Yunfei to authorize him to command the battle by himself.

After all, both Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui had contact with the Japanese army in the original drama, and they almost surrendered to the enemy immediately.

Chen Ziyun didn't trust them at all, so he wouldn't take the initiative to reveal his battle plan.

Maybe these two people have been in contact with the little devil by now. If the little devil knew the battle plan in advance, the army would definitely be in danger.

The combat meeting of the Independent 48th Brigade ended soon, and Chen Ziyun began to discuss with the three battalion commanders individually to get them ready.

There are six Bofors mountain guns in the artillery battalion, and there is currently enough ammunition.

In addition, they also have two Liao-made 77MM field guns with sufficient ammunition.

Of course, these two Liao-made field guns are relatively heavy, and a lot of horses are needed to move them.

However, this Liao-made Type 14 field gun can be described as the proud work of Fengtian Arsenal.

Even if it is placed in 40 years, its overall performance is relatively good.

And although it is a field gun, it can be disassembled into three parts for transportation.

So this time Chen Ziyun took them to fight, and it would not affect the marching speed of the troops.

The participating units of the Independent 48th Brigade began preparations overnight, while Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui returned to the [-]th Battalion of the Independent Infantry.

After coming to the battalion, Qian Bojun directly smashed all the porcelain on the table.

He even took out his pistol, ready to take a few hard shots, but in the end he restrained his emotions.

"Chen Ziyun, that bastard, sooner or later I'll kill him personally!"

"And Chu Yunfei, who really thinks of me, Qian Bojun, as a fool, I don't know what he thinks."

"He wished that Chen Ziyun would replace me and command three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion!"

"Now that two independent infantry battalions have been given to Chen Ziyun, if Chen Ziyun achieves results this time, what is the meaning of my existence as an infantry commander!"

Qian Bojun was furious, his face was gloomy, and he cursed directly.

He wanted to dig a hole for Chen Ziyun, but he didn't expect to end up trapping himself in it.

The two independent infantry battalions originally under his command were directly handed over to Chen Ziyun to command the battle.

As long as Chen Ziyun achieved results this time, it would be a matter of course for Chu Yunfei to hand over the three independent infantry battalions to Chen Ziyun's command in the future.

By that time, he, Qian Bojun, will be completely emptied.

"Ying Zuo, Commander Yan has not contacted us, as long as there is an opportunity, I will definitely recommend you as the head of the regiment."

"With Officer Yan as the backstage, he, Chen Ziyun, don't want to replace you in commanding three independent infantry battalions."

"What's more, Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yujia are both members of the brigade. They fought with Chen Ziyun, and it is inevitable that they will suffer casualties."

"Yingzuo, there are people from the black market, and the batch of weapons and ammunition we have privately detained can be sold."

"Let's see if we want to sell some information this time..."

At this time, Zhang Fugui came to Qian Bojun's side, and said with a playful expression on his face.

When Qian Bojun heard it, he couldn't help laughing, and he nodded in agreement.

As for the information they want to sell, it must be the combat operation that Chen Ziyun is about to command the troops to attack.
