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

Chapter 155

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of Lieutenant General of the Little Devil's First Army, was extremely angry at this time. For him, all the combat expectations of the army headquarters were completely shattered.

Originally, Shinozuka Yoshio planned to use the Sato detachment and Harada detachment to launch a north-south attack, thereby completely annihilating the Jinsui army commanded by Chen Ziyun.

However, now that the two detachments have suffered varying degrees of casualties, it is very difficult for them to fight the battle of annihilation.

What these two forces can do now is to quickly reconcile everything and do their best to ensure the absolute security of the occupied area.

In addition, they need to maintain the smooth flow of the Tongpu Railway. After all, the railway is the lifeline for the Japanese army to survive.

As for the operations in the southern Shanxi area, the artillery shells that came with the support of the Kwantung Army were seized.

The frontline troops in southern Shanxi cannot be replenished for the time being. It is obviously impossible for them to suppress Wei Junru's troops to fight in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

So what Shinozuka Yoshio can do is to ask these troops to attack and advance as much as possible.

Of course, when encountering a tenacious defense, in order to avoid excessive losses, they need to stop attacking.

After all, the Japanese army dispatched the general headquarters, just asking them to contain Wei Junru's troops.

Because of the large number of artillery supported by the Kwantung Army, the First Army has enhanced its combat effectiveness, and they want to achieve greater results.

But now they don't have enough shells and artillery, so it is naturally difficult to advance with minimal casualties.

Shinozuka Yoshio could only give up his previous combat concept, and just complete the task of pinning down the battle.

"Contact the second lesson and ask them to find out who the commanders of the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army are in the shortest possible time."

"They dare to sabotage our combat operations, then we must retaliate wildly against them."

"After the battle in the southern Shanxi area is over, we must gather the main force of the army and wipe them out completely."

"On the battlefield in Jin Province, there must be no place for Chu Yunfei's independent 48th brigade to stand!"

"Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Li Yunlong will all be dealt with completely."

Shinozuka Yoshio pointed to the Xin County area on the sand table and said with a gloomy face.

Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi immediately agreed, and he quickly began to arrange for power generation.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a total of six bombers appeared in the Suohe town area.

Aerial bombs began to be dropped one after another, and as the bombs fell on the ground, there was a deafening explosion.

At this moment, it seemed as if the earth was shaking, the dust all over the sky was accompanied by gunpowder smoke, and the scorching air waves instantly raised the temperature of the air.

The powerful shock wave quickly spread towards the surroundings, and the remaining houses collapsed instantly after being hit by the shock wave.

Huge bomb craters began to appear on the ground, and the entire town of Suohe was bombarded continuously, and it was almost razed to the ground.

There are no houses left, and there are ruins everywhere.

After the Japanese air force bombed Suohe Town to the ground, they began to bomb Yangpo Village and Xihui Village.

Of course, they just dropped the few remaining aerial bombs here, and then lowered the flight altitude, and directly used the aerial machine guns to launch intensive strafing.

Not long after, Yangpo Village and Xihui Village were bombed into ruins. At 04:30, six bombers from the little devil flaunted their might and left the battlefield.

Of course, they didn't know that Chen Ziyun had already commanded the troops to transfer from Suohe Town at noon.

By the time the Japanese army launched a carpet bombing of Suohe Town, their troops had already arrived in the area north of Suohe Town.

Chen Ziyun is currently receiving a large amount of shells, and the number of their artillery has been greatly increased.

The artillery battalion was supplemented with two Liao-made 77MM field guns and five 75-type [-]MM mountain guns.

According to this situation, Chen Ziyun reported to Chu Yunfei on the one hand, requesting to send reinforcements to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

On the one hand, Chen Ziyun is temporarily adjusting the artillery battalion. Sun Xiong, the company commander of the 358 regiment directly under the mountain artillery company, Chen Ziyun plans to transfer back.

Chu Yunfei quickly called back to Chen Ziyun, and he transferred Zhang Fugui's [-]th Battalion of Independent Infantry.

At the same time, arrange the heavy company troops to quickly transport relevant combat materials, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Regarding Chen Ziyun's arrangement for the artillery battalion, Chu Yunfei approved it without any hesitation.

At this time, the Artillery Battalion had two mountain artillery companies under its jurisdiction, each equipped with six Bofors mountain artillery and five [-]-style mountain artillery.

At the same time, there is also a field artillery company equipped with four Liao-made Type 14 77MM field artillery.

Chu Yu's guard company and Zhang Wu's cavalry company captured a lot of shells this time, and the shells for these artillery are temporarily sufficient.

At around [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Yunfei dispatched troops to the Qicun Town area north of Suohe Town, and they met with Chen Ziyun's troops.

The supply company replenished supplies to Chen Ziyun's troops, and then left directly with the seriously wounded.

Mortars, artillery shells, and some trophies that some other troops could not use temporarily were also taken away by them.

Up to now, there are many troops under Chen Ziyun's command, three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one hundred heavy soldiers.

Of course, after a fierce battle, the Fifth Battalion of Wu Ziqiang's Independent Infantry still had about 500 people.

Shi Yuframe's Sixth Battalion of Independent Infantry currently has more than 500 people.

Zhang Fugui's 800th Battalion of Independent Infantry remained at full strength, with about [-] troops.

The artillery battalion is currently strengthened, with three artillery companies, one cavalry company, and one guard company.

However, they currently only have more than 700 soldiers, and the overall situation has not improved much.

The expanded artillery units were all drawn from the artillery battalion.

And even this time Sun Xiong came with the supply company and served as the company commander of the second company of Shanpao.

However, the expansion of the three artillery companies on the basis of the original artillery has led to a decline in the overall level of the three artillery companies.

Fortunately, Li Yangshan's artillery company, their artillery base is still here, and they only need to add some bombers.

However, Sun Xiongshan's Second Artillery Company and Zhou Wenbo's Field Artillery Company lacked a certain amount of artillery for many artillery pieces.

This will lead to a weakening of their overall combat capability.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Wenbo of the observation team was directly promoted by Chen Ziyun to serve as the company commander of the field artillery company.

The overall level of the observation team is currently very high, even if Zhou Wenbo leaves, it will not affect their strength.

On the contrary, due to the lack of artillery officers, Chen Ziyun could only promote Zhou Wenbo in an exceptional way.

The range of the four field cannons exceeds tens of thousands of meters. It is safer for such long-range artillery to be controlled by one's own people.

Zhou Wenbo also belonged to Chen Ziyun's old team, so he was the most suitable commander of the field artillery company.

The artillery battalion has been reorganized for a short period of time, and the troops currently under the command of Chen Ziyun also have nearly 3000 people.

For the next combat mission, Chen Ziyun will naturally try his best to complete the mission issued by the system, destroy the blockhouses along the railway, and destroy the Tongpu Railway.

For Chen Ziyun, who has fifteen cannons, this task is not too difficult.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun found Zhang Fugui directly and arranged a combat mission for the Seventh Battalion of Independent Infantry.

"Battlemaster Zhang, you take two infantry companies and one machine gun company to the artillery battalion to assist the artillery in combat."

"The other two infantry companies will be directly commanded by me, serving as the general combat reserve!"

"Your main task in the artillery battalion is to transport artillery shells and assist the artillery in combat, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion."

"Of course, when there is a crisis, you also have to bear the responsibility of protecting the safety of the artillery battalion."

"Zhang Battalion Commander, this time the brigade seat authorized me to unify the command of all departments, and you also know me."

"As long as you obey orders, everything is fine."

After Chen Ziyun found Zhang Fugui, he directly gave him a combat order.

To be honest, Chen Ziyun complained a little about Chu Yunfei dispatching the [-]th Battalion of Zhang Fugui's Independent Infantry.

The Seventh Battalion of the Independent Infantry is Qian Bojun, the veteran of the first battalion of Zhang Fugui.

In the entire 48th Independent Brigade, no one knew that Chen Ziyun would not deal with them.

Chu Yunfei sent Zhang Fugui's battalion here to create a problem for Chen Ziyun.

How could Chen Ziyun dare to send such troops to the battlefield? Who knew what Zhang Fugui would do at the critical moment.

If he came to a battlefield to turn against him, the consequences would be disastrous.

So after careful consideration, Chen Ziyun dispatched Zhang Fugui to the Artillery Battalion, and asked them to undertake the tasks of transporting troops and bombardiers.

At the same time, the troops of the five companies were also separated, so as to prevent them from having dissent.

For Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui, Chen Ziyun has a hundred minds and is always on guard against them.

After all, Chen Ziyun's troops were exposed in advance this time, and they probably leaked the secret.

It's just that there is not enough evidence now, otherwise, Chen Ziyun would have the heart to kill Zhang Fugui.

Of course, Chen Ziyun, who has been a man for two generations, is very aware of the chaos in the Jinsui Army. Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui are old subordinates who have followed Chu Yunfei for many years.

In the original play, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong also had doubts about these two people.

But they still made it to Lijia Town, and were almost shot to death in the end.

And they took the risk of being shot dead just to find evidence that these two people wanted to join the little devil.

From this point of view, there is no solid evidence, and it is a daydream to kill Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui.

Especially since Chu Yunfei is now a major general and brigade commander, many things need to be balanced.

"Commander Chen, this time our battalion was ordered to fight to the rescue, and I also ask Commander Chen to give us a chance to fight."

"What's more, Battalion Commander Wu and Battalion Commander Shi suffered casualties. I, Zhang, are still willing to lead the troops to fight the Japanese army to the death."

"To assist the artillery in combat, it is enough to have supplies. Let us the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Infantry be the supplies. Wouldn't it be an overkill."

Zhang Fugui looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him, smiled slightly, and said with a righteous face.

Chen Ziyun almost couldn't help laughing after hearing these words, Zhang Fugui wanted to beat devils, is there a funnier joke than this?

The reason why he put on such a rhetoric was simply to let Chen Ziyun touch a soft nail.

Without saying anything, Zhang Fugui directly rejected Chen Ziyun's arrangement, saying that he wanted to take the troops to fight the devils.

If Chen Ziyun really arranged for him to fight the devils, I am afraid that Zhang Fugui would not get any results.

"Zhang Fugui, I think you are a bitch, don't you? If you talk to you carefully, you won't understand, so I have to scold you a few words."

"Am I discussing with you? I am giving you a direct combat order. If you disobey the order, I will kill you now!"

"Did you kick your head with a horse's hoof when you came over, and you don't even look at the current situation."

"The Fifth Battalion, Sixth Battalion, and Artillery Battalion of the Independent Infantry all follow Lao Tzu's orders. What kind of storm can you create with the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Infantry!"

"Don't you fucking want to go to the battlefield to fight devils, that's fine, you give me a military order."

"As long as you command the troops without any results, you don't have to come back, just kill yourself."

"As long as you dare to issue a military order, I will let you go to the battlefield immediately with the Seventh Battalion of Independent Infantry!"

Chen Ziyun looked at Zhang Fugui, who looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and immediately lost his temper.

He waited for his eyes, pointed directly at Zhang Fugui's face, and cursed.

Qian Bojun, Zhang Fugui and Chen Ziyun have never dealt with each other.

However, Chen Ziyun considered that they were Chu Yunfei's old brothers for many years after all, so he always controlled his emotions.

After all, embarrassing them, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

But Zhang Fugui still wanted to challenge him, so Chen Ziyun would not be polite.

When Zhang Fugui heard Chen Ziyun scolding him in public, his brows were slightly frowned, and the mustache under his nose was trembling slightly!

Intentionally or unintentionally, his right hand touched the holster of the shell gun, and his eyes looked at Chen Ziyun coldly.

"Zhang Fugui, what's the matter, you're not convinced, you still want to shoot, right?"

"Come, come, I've opened the insurance, I'll give you all my guns, if you're a fucking man, shoot now."

"Don't say I look down on you, even if Qian Bojun is here, he wouldn't dare to shoot me."

"As for you, Zhang Fugui, you bitches. Don't say I won't give you a chance, come on, shoot."

Chen Ziyun saw Zhang Fugui's actions, so he directly took out the shell gun, opened the insurance, and handed it to Zhang Fugui.

He kept touching Zhang Fugui's bottom line, this time, Chen Ziyun had the idea of ​​irritating him.

If he shoots directly, Chen Ziyun is also prepared.

Of course, it would be even better if Zhang Fugui directly wanted to take the troops to seek refuge with the little devils under his blow.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui are ticking time bombs, if they are resolved as soon as possible, there will be no harm at all.

Zhang Fugui stood where he was, he didn't expect Chen Ziyun to be so fierce.

If he had an absolute advantage, Zhang Fugui must have the guts to shoot.

But now, my 800 people are far from being Chen Ziyun's opponent.

What's more, Chen Ziyun didn't come alone, there were soldiers from the guard company by his side.

Zhang Fugui knew how powerful the guard company was. He knew that he wanted to shoot, but he probably never had the chance.

"Commander Chen was joking, I'm just suggesting."

"Since Commander Chen insists that our battalion go to the artillery battalion, then I will definitely obey the arrangement."

"Commander Chen, do you have any other arrangements?"

Zhang Fugui continued to have a smile on his face, he looked at Chen Ziyun and said.

"I'll just say you're a bitch, you won't know what's good until you scold you."

"Execute the order obediently, and I will continue to contact you if there are other arrangements."

Chen Ziyun put away his shell gun and gave Zhang Fugui a cold look.

Immediately afterwards, he left the garrison of the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Infantry directly.

After Chen Ziyun left, Zhang Fugui vented his anger in the battalion.

He smashed everything that could be smashed, but in the end he obediently led the troops to the artillery battalion to report.
