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

Chapter 161 Promoted to Colonel Acting Head
Of course, Chen Ziyun didn't know that the more than 7000 Japanese puppet troops from northern Shanxi were just to cope with the withdrawal of the Harada detachment.

Facing the more than 7000 days of puppet troops, Chen Ziyun still had some headaches.

After all, he only has four companies of troops in his hands now, and he has no advantage in the face of such a large number of Japanese and puppet troops.

Even according to Chen Ziyun's previous ideas of guerrilla warfare, there will be more trouble now.

Among the more than 7000 Japanese puppet troops, there are hundreds of mechanized infantry and a large number of cavalry units.

These troops can move quickly, which is a fatal threat to Chen Ziyun.

Even though the mountain cannons of the two artillery companies can be disassembled and transported, they are definitely not as fast as mechanized infantry and cavalry units.

If these troops go all out to attack Chen Ziyun's troops, then Chen Ziyun's troops must be very dangerous.

Chen Ziyun raised his binoculars to observe the situation of the little devil's troops, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

And at this time, Chu Yu, the company commander of the guard company, rushed over to report.

The Eighth Route sent messengers over to report directly that they were about to leave the battlefield.

After Li Yunlong commanded the troops to finish fighting in the hilly area, he led the troops directly to the south to disperse and hide, so as to avoid the Japanese air attack.

But in the afternoon, Li Yunlong received urgent news from Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Brigadier Chen has already arrived at Yang Village, and after knowing that Li Yunlong led the troops to attack without authorization, Brigadier Chen was furious.

While Ding Wei and Kong Jie stabilized Brigadier Chen, they quickly contacted Li Yunlong and told him to bring the troops back immediately.

After Li Yunlong got the news, he shivered with fright.

The so-called whatever you worry about, Lao Li is most afraid of being caught by Brigadier Chen.

As a result, before the battle on his side was over, Little Braid was caught by Brigadier Chen!

Li Yunlong didn't dare to delay. On the one hand, he sent messengers to contact Chen Ziyun's troops, and on the other hand, he organized the troops to return to Yang Village quickly.

Up to now, Li Yunlong has withdrawn from the battlefield with his troops, and quickly moved towards Yangcun and returned.

For Lao Li at this time, he no longer expects to keep the spoils this time, as long as he can keep his position as the head of the new regiment, he will be content.

After all, it is a very serious problem to lead troops to attack without authorization.

Especially now that the Xinyi Regiment is serving as the outer guard of the general headquarters, this matter can be big or small.

On a bigger scale, it would be no problem to roll him Li Yunlong in the end.

"The ones fighting here are the troops of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route of Yangcun. Now they have withdrawn directly."

"Only our troops are fighting alone in this area, and now there are a large number of Japanese and puppet troops from the north rushing to help."

"Commander Chen, are we also avoiding the edge for the time being, withdrawing from the battlefield first, and then looking for opportunities to launch combat operations."

"After all, we don't even have 1000 troops now. If we are surrounded by Japanese and puppet troops, I'm afraid it will be a dead end."

Chu Yu and Zhang Wu looked at Chen Ziyun, the two hesitated for a moment, and directly offered a suggestion.

Chen Ziyun put down the binoculars and immediately made adjustments according to the combat situation.

The artillery battalion immediately dismantled the mountain artillery and prepared for transfer, while the guard company and cavalry company provided cover.

Li Yunlong had already left with his troops, and there was no troops nearby that could cooperate with them in fighting.

Facing such a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, Chen Ziyun naturally couldn't go head-to-head.

So he was ready to move. As long as the Japanese and puppet troops attacked them, the troops would quickly move towards the mountains to the west.

The messengers immediately began to convey Chen Ziyun's combat orders, and the Liang Guoping Artillery Battalion quickly dismantled the mountain artillery.

Of course, the cavalry company is still in the vicinity of the alert, and closely monitors the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Time passed bit by bit, and at around seven o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun once again received a telegram from the Independent 48 Brigade.

At this time, Chu Yunfei had already received the telegram from Wei Junru, knowing that the main force of the Japanese army in southern Shanxi had begun to retreat.

After learning about this, Chu Yunfei immediately contacted the Chief of the First War Zone.

After some communication, he quickly contacted Chen Ziyun and asked Chen Ziyun to immediately withdraw his troops to the 48th Independent Brigade station.

This time Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to attack, mainly to support Wei Junru's troops to fight in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Now that the main force of the Japanese army attacking here is retreating, there is naturally no need for Chen Ziyun's troops to stay here to fight.

What's more, Li Yunlong's troops have also withdrawn now. They are alone, and the Japanese and puppet troops have been strengthened by a large number of reinforcements.

Once the two sides start fighting, Chen Ziyun's army will definitely suffer.

"All ministries are ready to withdraw to the station, and the artillery battalion immediately sets up artillery positions."

"Before we evacuate, we have to give the little devil a big gift."

"According to the time, the reinforcements of the Japanese and puppet troops will be here soon."

"Give them a gift first, and then we are evacuating quickly."

After Chen Ziyun read the telegram sent by Chu Yunfei in detail, he immediately issued an order.

To be honest, Chen Ziyun was somewhat unwilling to leave the battlefield like this.

After all, whether it was the Harada detachment or the Sato detachment, they were only hit to a certain extent and were not completely annihilated.

With the current supplementary abilities of the little devils, they can still quickly restore the formation of these troops.

The Japanese army set up military depots in different occupied areas. These depots not only had various weapons and ammunition, but also a large number of soldiers.

This is also the reason why the Japanese combat troops were obviously severely damaged, but they were able to quickly recover their strength in a short period of time.

Of course, it has been 40 years now, and the little devil is going to go south to fight and prepare to fight on two fronts, so it will be affected to some extent.

You must know that in 37 and 38, the little devils troops carried a reserve supplementary brigade at any time.

Some divisions were hit today, and they can immediately make up for their losses in the evening, and they will return to full strength tomorrow.

Moreover, the little devil's supplementary soldiers have undergone rigorous training, and they also have certain combat capabilities.

For example, the Jinsui Army and other troops mostly recruit strong men to supplement them. These strong men have not even fired bullets when they went to the battlefield.

Even if the Eighth Route Army has local armed forces that can replenish troops, their main force doesn't have much ammunition.

Not to mention these local troops, they are also facing a lot of soldiers who will be added to the combat troops, and they don't have much live ammunition shooting experience.

Such soldiers will definitely reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops to a large extent.

So if you want to bring a blow to the little devil, you still have to fight annihilation battle as much as possible.

Only by fighting a war of annihilation can the combat effectiveness of their troops be affected.

Otherwise, as long as they are replenished, they will soon be able to restore their combat effectiveness.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the reinforcement troops dispatched by the Mongolian Army and the Harada Detachment met together.

It was at this time that the artillery battalion, under the command of Chen Ziyun himself, launched a fierce shelling directly.

The frontier artillery observation station set up by the observation team transmitted data, five [-]-style mountain guns, and six Bofors mountain guns directly bombarded.

Eleven mountain cannons fired at the same time. After passing the test firing and verification firing, they directly launched the covering bombardment.

In a short period of time, hundreds of shells fired towards different areas.

After the shelling was over, the artillery was immediately dragged away by mules and horses.

At nine o'clock, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to withdraw from the battlefield and began to withdraw towards the 48th Independent Brigade.

When Chen Ziyun's troops were shelling, the reinforcements of the Mongolian Army did not enter the position, so the Japanese and puppet troops suffered hundreds of casualties.

In addition, five [-]-type mountain artillery shells accurately hit the Japanese command organization, and Nakazu Sato of the Sato Detachment was killed on the spot.

"Baga Yalu, the hateful artillery unit of the Jinsui Army, sooner or later I will make them pay a heavy price."

"Next time our troops come here to carry out combat operations, we must find them. I will capture their officers and cut off their heads myself!"

"These bastards, I will never let them go, I will let them know how powerful the Imperial Army is!"

Knowing that there were casualties in the troops again, and Nakazu Sato was killed, Harada Da Zuo said through gritted teeth.

However, the Mongolian army had no fighting spirit at this time, so at 09:30, their troops retreated towards northern Shanxi in despair.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade strengthened its heavy weapons and rushed along the railway to help.

With the arrival of the independent mixed Ninth Brigade, the Japanese troops began to strengthen their defenses, but they did not take the initiative to attack.

As for the First Army, it immediately contacted the military depot in Jin Province to quickly replenish the losses of the independent and mixed third brigade.

At the same time, the First Army Command also began to report to the Front Army Command, and they reported the situation of the Sato detachment in detail.

Of course, Nakazu Sato is now dead, and all faults cannot be investigated.

Now the area too far north has gradually returned to silence.

And in western Shanxi, the Chief of the Second War Zone is here.

Yan Laoxi was wearing reading glasses, standing in front of the map with an incredulous expression on his face.

He looked at the location of Yuanping City and Xin County on the map for a while, and then looked at the documents in his hand.

Chen Ziyun commanded more than 2000 troops, and successively severely damaged the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment here, causing them about 6000 casualties.

Of course, it was recorded in detail in the document that these battle results were obtained with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army, but the word "Eight Route Army" was automatically ignored by Yan Laoxi.

In his mind, only his Jinsui army took the initiative to attack the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, and gained a lot!

"The first battle at Cangyunling, the second battle at Yangcun, and the battle at Yuanpingcheng in Xinxian County, who can say that our Jinsui army doesn't fight devils?"

"Wei Junru, who is known as a tiger general, commands 10,000+ elites, so he wants to retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain and rely on the location to stick to it."

"But our Jinsui Army troops, we fight again and again, we can not only defend and fight, but also take the initiative to attack!"

"Even the eight-way housekeeping skill guerrilla warfare, we can perfectly demonstrate it!"

"Those who accompany the capital will only say that my troops in the second theater are either swimming and not fighting, or they are conserving their strength. They don't dare to fight the little devil at all."

"There is also a little devil, there is a rumor that to deal with our Jinsui army, as long as you hit the helmet with a wooden stick, you can deal with us."

"This time, I want to see if such a victory can stop this Youyou's mouth!"

Yan Laoxi took off his reading glasses, looked at the staff officers around him, and said with a proud expression on his face.

At this time, he didn't care that Chu Yunfei, the brigade commander of the Independent 48th Brigade, was from Huangpu, let alone that Chen Ziyun, who commanded the battle, graduated from the Army Artillery Academy.

In Yan Laoxi's eyes, they are no longer disciples of the Son of Heaven, they are his fellow countrymen and generals of the Jinsui Army under his command.

The results of this battle will belong to the Jinsui Army!
And these military exploits can stop everyone's mouths.

In the future, if anyone says that the Jinsui Army doesn't fight devils, then Yan Laoxi will be able to use this time and time again to respond forcefully.

Even if he was in private contact with the little devil, these military exploits were enough to make Yan Laoxi harden himself in front of the little devil.

"Several battles, annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese troops, such a result is really unimaginable."

"Mr. Yan, this Chen Ziyun is really a mighty fighter. Who would have thought that he could achieve such victories."

"If we discover his ability earlier and give him enough attention, our Jinsui Army will definitely be famous all over the world."

"Such a general is really rare. I suggest that Chen Ziyun be rewarded heavily. I believe that Chen Ziyun will be completely loyal to Chief Yan in the future."

"In any case, they are all from Jin Province, Chief Yan. If we are really emotional, these two mighty men will be used by you, and Jin Province will still be ours."

The staff officers stood beside Yan Laoxi and praised him one after another.

Yan Laoxi came to the table, and he pondered for a while.

"Qingbo, make a decision right away, I will personally give credit to the Independent 48th Brigade!"

"At the same time, I directly contacted the commissioner in my name. The independent 48th brigade is directly under the three independent infantry battalions and should be expanded into regiments."

"I want to personally recommend Chen Ziyun to be the head of the colonel. He has the ability and deserves such a position."

"Our commissioner, when dealing with us motley crews, we can always think of some things that are out of the blue."

"A brigade is subordinate to a regiment, directly under the three infantry battalions, but the two regiments are not given the designation."

After taking a deep breath, Yan Laoxi had a serious expression on his face, and immediately called the Chief of Staff Chu Qingbo and said.

"Yes, Chief Yan." Chu Qingbo hastily agreed without any hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the second war zone chief's department quickly started generating power.

Soon, the relevant agencies far away here in the accompanying capital received messages from Wei Junru, the commander of the first war zone, and Yan Laoxi, the commander of the second war zone.

The two theater commanders recommended Chen Ziyun to be the head of the regiment at the same time. Such a thing instantly attracted everyone's attention.

It didn't take long for the relevant telegrams to be submitted layer by layer, and finally alarmed the famous principal.

"Chen Ziyun, I have the impression that he was the one who captured the flag of the Japanese Third Regiment."

"By the way, he is also a graduate of the Army Artillery Academy and a student of mine."

"Okay, I really didn't expect them to be able to achieve such a result."

"Chu Yunfei from the Independent 48th Brigade is also my Whampoa student, so give them another regiment number."

"Let Chen Ziyun be the acting team leader, let's see what surprises they can bring me."

The headmaster personally gave instructions that the independent 48th brigade is directly under the three independent infantry battalions, and the reserve 11th regiment will be expanded!
As for Chen Ziyun, he was promoted to the colonel and acting head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment.
