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

Chapter 195 Ziyun Reusable

Yan Laoxi still had a very clear mind. He knew that after this battle was over, it would be impossible for the little devils to gather troops to deal with the Jinsui Army.

First of all, there are 10,000+ troops under Wei Junru's command in Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi. It is precisely these 10,000+ troops that four or five divisions of the North China Front Army were restrained.

Secondly, the Eighth Route Army launched such a large-scale sabotage operation, and the losses caused to the Japanese army were unimaginable. Many Eighth Route Army troops were in the Japanese-occupied area.

So in any case, the Japanese army must first deal with the Zhongtiaoshan defenders and the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area.

Even if they want to gather troops to deal with the Western Jinsui troops, I am afraid that their main force will not be able to gather.

Under such circumstances, Yan Laoxi naturally wouldn't care about the little devil's warning.

He just sent Zhao Yinfu, the commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army, to deal with the little devil directly.

The independent 48th Brigade fighting in Xin County, instead of withdrawing, added a supplementary regiment to them.

Chu Qingbo, Chief of Staff of the Second War Zone personally arranged, and a supplementary regiment of 2000 people and corresponding weapons and equipment were in place soon.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening, this army began to march towards Xin County in a mighty way.

It was at this time that the Chief of the Second Theater directly contacted the Independent 48th Brigade through the General Command of the Seventh Army.

Chen Ziyun officially served as the head of the colonel of the 11th Preparatory Regiment, and his position as acting head was cancelled.

The two heads of the independent 48th brigade are currently acting heads.

But this time in the battle of Xin County, the county seat was captured by the troops commanded by Chen Ziyun, and it was also he who commanded the troops to defend the county seat and severely inflicted damage on the Japanese troops.

Most of the 358 regiments here are commanded by Chu Yunfei himself, so Qian Bojun is still acting as the head of the regiment.

Time passed, and at one o'clock in the morning on August 25, Chu Yunfei brought Fang Ligong, Chief of Staff, to Xinxian County.

After they received the telegram from the Minister's Ministry, they discussed repeatedly, but they never came up with a result.

So the two came to the county seat, wanting to hear what Chen Ziyun meant.

The supplementary regiment is currently on the way. When they come over, the independent 48th brigade will have three regiments of troops.

The head of the 11th Preparatory Regiment must be Chen Ziyun. This is something that cannot be changed.

However, in order to win over Chu Yunfei, Yan Laoxi specially gave him the opportunity to appoint the head of the supplementary regiment.

And who will be the head of the supplementary group is a matter that Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong have been unable to decide for a long time.

To say that Yan Laoxi is an authentic native of Jin Province, he is very shrewd in his small calculations.

The officers selected by the supplementary regiment were all graduated from the officer training regiment, and they were Yan Laoxi's confidantes.

Therefore, this regiment has a high degree of loyalty to Yan Laoxi. As for the regiment leader Chu Yunfei chose in the past, it was difficult to control the entire regiment due to its weak power.

Yan Laoxi gave Chu Yunfei the opportunity to appoint the head of the regiment, but at the same time, he also placed the supplementary regiment beside Chu Yunfei.

In this case, it will be beneficial for Yan Laoxi to better control the independent 48th brigade in the future.

"The officers who can now be promoted to serve as regimental leaders are almost not strong enough to control the supplementary regiment."

"Maybe if we let them pass by, it will only deepen the conflict, and it's inevitable that Officer Yan will be displeased."

"Actually, Ziyun, you are the best candidate, but the 11th Preparatory Regiment has just started. If you are transferred away, the 11th Preparatory Regiment will collapse."

"If I, the brigade commander, also served as the head of the supplementary regiment, it would be unreasonable, and it would make Chief Yan suspicious."

"How to choose, we have been deliberating, and we have not found a suitable candidate for a long time."

After Chu Yunfei came to the regiment headquarters of the 11th regiment, he said helplessly.

"It goes without saying that all the officers and soldiers of the supplementary regiment must have been strictly selected. Although they are under our establishment, they have a high degree of loyalty to Chief Yan."

"Such troops are not easy to command. They were sent by Commander Yan himself. To be honest, we would rather not have such troops."

"Captain Chen, Lu Zuo and I really have no choice, so I want to hear what you think, and wonder if you have a better way."

Fang Ligong also looked at Chen Ziyun, and said directly.

Chen Ziyun's brain was working quickly. After a moment of contemplation, he directly expressed his thoughts.

The supplementary group was sent by Yan Laoxi, if Chu Yunfei had the idea of ​​gradually wooing them and making them completely obey his orders, it would definitely not work.

Otherwise, if Yan Laoxi knew about it, his first reaction would be that Chu Yunfei had a different heart, otherwise why would he win over the supplementary regiment.

You can't win over this army, and you can't treat this army slowly, you just need to treat it with a normal heart.

Under such conditions, it is definitely meaningless to send Chu Yunfei's direct lineage there.

"Traveler, attendant, Zhang Fugui, commander of the Seventh Battalion of our regiment, can act as a supplementary regiment commander."

"The commander of the Seventh Battalion, I recommend Chu Yu, the commander of the guard company. As for the commander of the guard company, Lieutenant Sun Ming, the brigade adjutant, can also serve as the commander."

"In this case, the 358th regiment and the 11th regiment will naturally be firmly in the hands of the brigade."

"Regardless of any changes in the future, these two regiments will definitely be able to completely stand here in the brigade."

Chen Ziyun looked at Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong, and said his suggestion.

The seventh battalion is based on the first battalion of Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui, but they also have a lot of respect for Chu Yunfei.

After being assigned to the 11th reserve regiment for combat, Chen Ziyun's performance several times also changed their attitude.

It's just that Zhang Fugui is obviously a ticking time bomb. Originally, Chen Ziyun planned to gradually take him out of the game and finally kick him out.

With such an opportunity in front of him, Chen Ziyun would definitely not miss it.

The identity of Chu Yu, the company commander of the guard company, is still a mystery, and Chen Ziyun doesn't intend to ask in detail.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Chu Yu was capable and also possessed a sense of arrogance.

If he had nothing to do with Chu Yunfei, no one would believe him.

"Ziyun, Chu Yu's qualifications are still relatively inexperienced, so it might be inappropriate for him to be the battalion commander."

"It's okay for Zhang Fugui to be transferred to the supplementary regiment as the regiment leader, and Sun Ming is also capable of serving as the commander of the guard company."

"As for the battalion commander of the Seventh Battalion, we should think more about it and choose a more suitable officer."

After hesitating for a while, Chu Yunfei looked directly at Chen Ziyun and said.

Fang Ligong stood aside, hesitant to speak.

When Chen Ziyun heard Chu Yunfei's words, he felt like Ming Jing.

Come on, now that the puzzle is solved, Chu Yu and Chu Yunfei must be related.

If they had nothing to do with each other, Chu Yunfei would definitely agree with it.

It was precisely because of their relationship that Chu Yunfei hesitated.

Chu Yunfei has his own arrogance and cherishes his feathers very much.

If it were another officer, he would wish to promote all the people he was related to.

Chu Yunfei was lucky, Chu Yu was not weak, if he had been given more care, he would have been able to become the battalion commander long ago.

"Traveler, compared to Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yuzhen and even Zhang Fugui, my qualifications are far inferior to theirs."

"But the brigade can promote me to be the head of the 11th reserve regiment. Obviously ability is more important than qualifications."

"Chu Yu has the ability to serve as the battalion commander. I believe that the seventh battalion will be greatly improved under his command."

"I am willing to use my wealth and life as a guarantee to recommend Chu Yu as the battalion commander of the seventh battalion."

Chen Ziyun was talking nonsense with his eyes open, insisting that Chu Yu be the battalion commander of the seventh battalion.

You must know that Chen Ziyun was not given by Chu Yunfei as the head of the regiment, but was personally recommended by Wei Junru and Yan Laoxi, and appointed by the headmaster.

But Chen Ziyun was promoted by Chu Yunfei, this sentence is not wrong at all.

"Traveler, what Captain Chen said is very true."

"Company commander Chu Yu is absolutely incapable, and he has achieved great results in several battles."

"What's more, Chu Yu is the commander of the seventh battalion, so he can learn better under the command of regimental commander Chen."

"With Captain Chen personally teaching him, Chu Yu will definitely become a qualified battalion commander."

Fang Ligong also followed Chen Ziyun's words and also recommended Chu Yu as the battalion commander of the seventh battalion.

Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun, then at Fang Ligong beside him.

After being silent for a while, he nodded in agreement.

This matter was finalized, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong continued to discuss with Chen Ziyun for a while, and they began to return to the brigade.

"Ziyun can be reused!" Chu Yunfei left such a sentence when he left.

After watching Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong leave, Chen Ziyun came to the map, and he knew that he got another multiple choice question right.

Having been a human being for two lifetimes, Chen Ziyun naturally knows the importance of sophistication.

No matter how strong your ability is, you still need to make a correct choice.

Now for Chen Ziyun, he definitely wanted to stand with Chu Yunfei.

And with Chu Yu serving as the battalion commander of the seventh battalion, Chen Ziyun must be able to completely control the 11th reserve regiment.

Even if something happened to Chen Ziyun in the future, Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yujian, and Chu Yu would not stand by Chen Ziyun, but at least they would not attack Chen Ziyun.

And Chen Ziyun still has to actively cultivate his own team, the more contacts he has, the stronger his ability to protect himself.

"Hey, I'm really tired!" Chen Ziyun couldn't help but said with emotion.

Of course, he also knows that no matter where he is, spending time in line is the top priority.

It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not so dark.

Chen Ziyun was no longer sleepy at this time, and he started to inspect the city.

It was at this time that the reinforcements commanded by Major General Harada Kenzo, head of the Infantry Regiment of the 26th Division, had already arrived in the former Pingcheng area.

The sabotage operations in northern Shanxi were mainly completed by the 120th Division, and they have also achieved results so far.

But they are not the main direction of attack here, and the troops commanded by Harada Kenzo are powerful, so they cannot effectively block them.

The troops commanded by Kenzao Harada consisted of two independent infantry brigades and two field brigades. These were little devils' troops with more than [-] people.

In addition to the Japanese troops, they also had the Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, and the First, Second, and Third Guards of the Puppet Mongolian Army.

The Seventh Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army is known as a division, but its strength is less than 2000 people. This is the establishment of a cavalry division.

The formation of cavalry troops outside the customs is small, and more than 300 cavalry can form a cavalry regiment.

There are three guard teams, each with 700 people.

The troops of the puppet Mongolian army participating in the war were also about 4000 people, and their overall weapons and equipment were not bad.

As early as 37 years ago, after the Kwantung Army captured the four provinces outside the pass, they eyed the Suicha area.

At this time, the Kwantung Army had a large number of seized Liao-made weapons in their hands. These weapons were of completely different calibers from theirs, and the little devils would not be able to use them.

So the little devils began to support a large number of puppet troops in the Suicha area, using them to continue to provoke disputes.

The puppet Mongolian army was supported by the Kwantung Army very early on, and their weapons and equipment were also a large number of Liao-made weapons.

Up to now, they have a complete weapon system.

Liao-made Type 13 rifles, Liao-made Type 17 light machine guns, and Liao-made Type 13 heavy machine guns.

At the same time, they are also equipped with a certain number of Liao-made field guns and Liao-made mortars.

It is well known that most of the puppet troops are half-hearted and have two boats.

At its peak, the Puppet Mongolian Army had more than ten divisions, but so far they have only two field divisions, the Seventh and Eighth Divisions.

Other units were either reorganized into local defense divisions or local garrison units.

This is because the little devil found that the top commander of the puppet Mongolian army kept flirting with the capital, so he reorganized the puppet Mongolian army.

The two remaining field divisions were all puppet troops selected by the little devils and received strict training from the Japanese army. They have certain combat effectiveness.

As for the reorganized defense division, the puppet Mongolian army of the garrison was constantly reformed by the little devils, so that they would be loyal to the Japanese army.

As the chief of staff of the Mongolian Army, Tanaka Shinichi naturally knew something about the Puppet Mongolian Army.

The troops transferred to participate in the war this time can be regarded as quite effective in the puppet Mongolian army.

Therefore, under the command of Harada Kenzo, they could quickly advance to the range of Yuanpingcheng.

"The troops are resting in Yuanping City, and will continue to Xinxian County at eight o'clock in the morning."

"At the same time, contact the headquarters of the Third Independent Mixed Brigade and ask if they need cavalry support."

"If they need cavalry support, send no less than [-] cavalry to support them in combat."

"Also check the situation in Yuanping City in detail. If there is no problem here, leave some of our combat supplies here."

Kenzo Harada immediately set up the headquarters, he said with a serious expression on his face.

Up to now, the cavalry can be said to be a declining branch, but on the battlefield here, the cavalry can still play a very strong role.

Especially in the face of the Eighth Route Army, the cavalry can be said to be able to give full play to their advantages.

Machine guns and artillery are the absolute nemesis of cavalry, but these weapons are very lacking in the Eighth Route Army.

Especially the 120th division here, they mainly develop in areas such as northern Shanxi.

This force not only needs to meet its own needs, but also provides soldiers, weapons and ammunition to the left-behind corps in Shaanxi Province from time to time.

Therefore, their overall strength is definitely not as good as that of the 129th Division.

The independent mixed third brigade is currently able to effectively defend, and they have also received a division of the Puppet Mongolian Army to strengthen their operations.

The Eighth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army was originally going to advance to Xin County to cooperate with the independent and mixed Fourth Brigade to fight, but when they came over, the raid broke out.

This force was intercepted and directly cooperated with the third independent mixed brigade to fight.

Up to now, the Japanese and puppet troops have assembled a lot of troops in Xinxian County and Yuanping City to the north of Xinxian County.

The overall strength of these troops is not too weak. If they go all out to fight, they are still a threat.

Especially Harada Kenzo, who came to Xin County to fight again this time, he is full of confidence, and he will be ashamed if he is inspired!
Judging from the fact that he did not bring troops into Xin County overnight, Harada Kenzo has changed.

If it were Harada Kenzao before, I am afraid that he would have led his troops to directly fight against the troops of the Independent 48th Brigade.
