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

Chapter 207

Chen Ziyun came to Xin County several times, and used to command troops to fight in Hesuo Town.

So he glanced through the window and knew that he was here in Hesuo Town.

Chu Yunfei wanted to test Chen Ziyun and see his ability to analyze the battlefield.

However, Chen Ziyun couldn't help it. After all, many things can be analyzed through observation.

Hesuo Town is not very far from Qicun Town. If there is a large-scale battle in the Qicun Town area, the sound of guns and guns can be clearly heard here.

What's more, there was a fierce battle in Qicun Town, so it was impossible for Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong to appear in Hesuo Town at the same time.

The two of them were neatly dressed and wore white gloves. Judging from this point of view, the Independent 48th Brigade did not have any battles for the time being.

The troops stationed in Mongolia were repelled and returned to Yanzhuang Town. If they did not come to attack the Independent 48th Brigade, then the direction of the next battle was obvious.

"Brigade seat, participant seat, the independent mixed fourth brigade and the reinforcements sent by the Mongolian army will definitely be together."

"They will gather in the hilly area, so the focus of these Japanese and puppet troops' next operations must be on the Xinyi Regiment in Xinkou Town."

"Li Yunlong's troops settled the Japanese troops in the Pingdingcheng area northeast of Xinkou Town, and then attacked the hilly area."

"They effectively contained the independent and mixed fourth brigade, and strongly supported us to repel the troops stationed in Mongolia."

"Since the troops stationed in Mongolia are not fighting with us, they must be attacking Li Yunlong's new regiment."

Chen Ziyun made an analysis, and as his words fell, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong showed admiration on their faces.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Ligong began to introduce the battlefield situation in detail.

At present, the Japanese and puppet troops are gathering troops to attack Xinkou Town, but the new regiment is not a vegetarian. The two sides have fought fiercely for a long time, but the Japanese and puppet troops have nothing to gain.

The main force of the Independent 48th Brigade originally planned to gather troops on the highlands west of Qicun Town to deploy defenses in accordance with Chen Ziyun's plan to fight against the Japanese and puppet troops.

However, the Japanese and puppet troops are gathering in the hilly area, and they are no longer a threat. They are currently confronting Harada Kenzo's troops.

It is worth mentioning that when Chen Ziyun was sleeping, the supplementary group arrived at the battlefield after eleven o'clock in the morning.

Of course, this supplementary group was arranged by Yan Laoxi himself. They are a supplementary group in name, but they are actually a field group.

Even the above-mentioned officers are all selected by the Chief's Department, and the soldiers and weapons and equipment are fully staffed.

There are three infantry battalions under the supplementary regiment, each battalion has three infantry companies and one machine gun company.

The machine gun company is equipped with four Type 75 heavy machine guns and two Jin-made [-]MM mortars.

The infantry company is mainly equipped with Czech light machine guns, medium rifles and other weapons.

Most of the weapons and equipment of the supplementary regiment are standard weapons issued by the accompanying capital, while the number of Jin-made weapons is very small.

In addition, there is a mortar company and a mountain artillery company directly under their regiment headquarters. There are four 82MM mortars and four Jin-made 75MM mountain artillery.

Counting the supply company and other troops, their establishment is about 2000 people.

At present, Zhang Fugui is acting as the acting head of the supplementary group.

After this army came to the battlefield, Chu Yunfei inspected it in detail.

There is no problem with their weapon configuration. The whole regiment has ten mortars of different calibers and four mountain cannons.

Twelve heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and Jin-made submachine guns were also assigned to each squad according to the usual practice.

And many officers and soldiers, it seems that they have been on the battlefield.

But there is also a big problem with this unit, that is, they were drawn from different units and assembled together.

There is no tacit understanding between the officers and soldiers, and there are even contradictions, and they cannot exert their due combat effectiveness.

If they were real supplementary regiments, Chu Yunfei would be able to break up and be directly incorporated into the 358th regiment, preparing for the 11th regiment.

Then with the leadership of these two regiments, these officers and soldiers can quickly integrate into the army and demonstrate their due strength.

But this supplementary regiment was organized by Yan Laoxi, and it was established according to the field troops.

Yan Laoxi also ordered a lot of officers and soldiers who were loyal to him, so Chu Yunfei couldn't disrupt their establishment.

As for the supplementary regiment, there was no way for Chu Yunfei to dismantle it. As for arranging them to fight, it was even more of a headache.

"Currently the 358th regiment has only the second battalion, the third battalion, and the fourth battalion, and the artillery company has more than 600 people."

"The Fifth Battalion, Sixth Battalion, Seventh Battalion, and Artillery Battalion of the 11th Reserve Regiment only have more than [-] troops."

"The field artillery company, cavalry company, and guard company directly under the brigade headquarters did not suffer much casualties."

"However, the total strength of these three companies is no more than 700 people. Counting the artillery unit, we have only more than 4000 combat troops."

"The first battalion needs to rest, and after a large number of wounded recover, it must be quickly replenished to the first battalion, otherwise it will be difficult for the first battalion to recover its combat effectiveness."

"Although the supplementary regiment has 2000 people, if they are to fight tough battles, this force may suffer heavy casualties."

"If the supplementary regiment has just arrived, there will be heavy casualties, and there is no way for us to account for Chief Yan's side."

Chu Yunfei looked at Chen Ziyun, and couldn't help saying with a slightly melancholy expression.

After all, in the Jinsui army, it is not ability that determines everything.

Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are also capable, but they still have to be suspected by Yan Laoxi.

Of course, Chen Ziyun, who has been a man for two generations, also knows that if he goes to Wei Junru's side, everything will not go well.

There are 10,000+ troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, and there are many factions.

The Shaanxi Army, the Yunnan Army, the Zhensong Army, etc., the Central Army is also in a delicate situation here.

The principal who accompanied the capital wanted to consume the motley army, and the Central Army would inevitably make some small moves during the battle.

But these miscellaneous troops are still not vegetarians, and they will not let them be slaughtered.

Not to mention the miscellaneous army and the central army, even the same central army, there are many factions, and there are countless things to tear each other down.

"In the old days, Zhuge Kongming made straw people into soldiers, so the supplementary regiment is better than the grass people."

"Brigade, the supplementary regiment can undertake defensive tasks, so that many troops can be freed up."

"No matter what happens in the battle here in Xinkou Town, we have to rush to help, after all, our lips are dead and our teeth are cold."

"If the Xinyi Regiment is eliminated, the Japanese and puppet troops will be free to deal with us."

"Now, while they are attacking the new regiment, we can mobilize our troops to actively fight and weaken their combat effectiveness."

Chen Ziyun pondered for a moment, and he made a suggestion.

All the Japanese and puppet troops in Xin County merged to fight together, and Li Yunlong's new regiment will not be in danger for the time being.

However, if the Independent 48th Brigade stands idly by, the current strength of the Japanese and puppet troops will still pose a threat to the new regiment.

As long as there is an accident in the new regiment, the follow-up operations of the Independent 48th Brigade will definitely be very passive.

Therefore, no matter what the reason was, Chen Ziyun would definitely attack immediately to support the new regiment.

"I've had this intention for a long time. They must have effectively supported us in the battle. Now that they are being beaten, if we don't take action, we will inevitably fall into the blame."

"It's just that we need to discuss how to deploy. In terms of commanding operations, we need you, Chen Ziyun."

"Ziyun, if you can continue to command, then we will fight with all our strength."

"If the independent and mixed fourth brigade can be wiped out again, it will definitely bring a devastating blow to the morale of the Japanese army."

"At that time, even though my independent 48th brigade suffered heavy casualties, I didn't have any regrets."

With a firm expression on Chu Yunfei's face, he said directly.

Chu Yunfei had long thought about supporting the new regiment.

He is a face-saving person, and he doesn't want to leave any stains.

What's more, Chu Yunfei also has ambitions to fight here in Xin County.

It's just that Chen Ziyun didn't personally command the battle, so he didn't feel at ease.

Moreover, here in the Independent 48th Brigade, there were really no available talents, Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui, Chu Yunfei was worried about letting them lead the battle alone.

Now that Chen Ziyun woke up, Chu Yunfei naturally wanted to start combat deployment immediately.

Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Fang Ligong began to discuss.

Soon there were orderlies who sent over the map, and they immediately made an analysis based on the current battlefield situation.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the brigade headquarters of the Independent 48th Brigade began to pass on a series of combat orders here.

The fifth battalion, sixth battalion, seventh battalion, artillery battalion, and reconnaissance platoon of the 11th Reserve Regiment assembled west of Xinxian County.

The supplementary regiment quickly advanced to the county seat of Xinxian County, and took over the defense task of the county seat from the reserve 11th regiment.

The 358nd Battalion, [-]rd Battalion, and [-]th Battalion of the [-]th Regiment, the artillery company, the cavalry company directly under the brigade headquarters, the guard company, and the field artillery company assembled in Yanzhuang Town.

The first battalion and other troops rested in Hesuo Town and took charge of the area defense of Hesuo Town.

The Qicun Town area was completely abandoned.

Chen Ziyun unified command of the 11th regiment, the supplementary regiment, and the first battalion of the 358th regiment.

Of course, the supplementary regiment, the first battalion of the 358th regiment is currently mainly responsible for defensive tasks, and basically does not encounter attacks, and they do not need to command.

The authorization given to Chen Ziyun by the brigade was to require these troops to obey Chen Ziyun's orders.

It's okay to say that the first battalion is mainly a supplementary regiment, and Zhang Fugui, the acting regiment leader, is nothing.

The officers and soldiers below were all put together just now, without formal orders, it would be difficult for them to obey Chen Ziyun's command.

As for Chu Yunfei, he took Fang Ligong to personally command the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, and the 358th regiment fought.

At the same time, Lin Zhiqiang, chief of staff of the brigade, was dispatched to Xinxian County to supervise the supplementary regiment to fight in the name of the brigade.

The result of the discussion between Chu Yunfei and others was that Chen Ziyun commanded the 11th Regiment to attack the hills from the south to contain the Japanese and puppet troops.

The 358th regiment and other troops carried out large-scale detours and launched combat operations at will.

The combat objectives of the troops commanded by Chu Yunfei and his meritorious service were not stipulated. They fought based on the reaction of the Japanese and puppet troops.

It is even possible for them to advance directly to Yuanping City in the north to fight according to the battlefield situation.

A large number of Jinsui Army troops began to mobilize, and they quickly assembled towards the designated area.

The various units of the 11th Reserve Regiment completed their assembly at three o'clock, and they appeared in the area south of the hill.

After Chen Ziyun established the regiment headquarters, he immediately called a meeting of four battalion commanders.

Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yuframe, Chu Yu, Liang Guoping.

Now without Zhang Fugui, Chen Ziyun commanded the 11th Preparatory Regiment with ease.

Li Yunlong's new regiment is still fighting, and Chen Ziyun must lend a helping hand in time.

At present, the total strength of the 11th Reserve Regiment is more than [-] people. Of course, a considerable part of this army is artillery.

Three infantry battalions, the current total strength is about 500 people.

Moreover, as they continued to fight, their weapons and equipment also experienced some wear and tear and insufficient ammunition.

But here in the artillery battalion, the six Japanese-style mountain guns and the six Bofors mountain guns did not have much impact.

There are still more than 200 shells for the Japanese mountain gun, and hundreds of shells for the Bofors mountain gun.

With these twelve mountain cannons, Chen Ziyun still has plenty of confidence.

After his deployment, the battalions began to go back to make preparations.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Yujia's Sixth Battalion and Chu Yu's Seventh Battalion with more than a thousand troops began to advance towards the hilly area.

The artillery battalion has also set up artillery positions, and they can provide fire support at any time.

In the hilly area, the little devil's headquarters is here.

Harada Kenzao commanded four brigades, and the attached artillery unit was close to 4000 troops for defense.

They mainly defended the Jinsui Army on the west side, prevented them from advancing, and supported the new regiment in operations.

However, following the large-scale mobilization of the Jinsui Army in the afternoon, Harada Kenzo had already received the news.

He began to strengthen the defensive deployment. The third and fourth field brigades of 2000 and [-] people were directly deployed on the south side for defense.

These little devils were arranged in echelons, seized the commanding heights, and built a perfect defensive position.

The first independent infantry and the second brigade of 300, 358 troops are focusing on the dynamics of the [-]th regiment.

The eight Liao-made field guns of the cavalry artillery regiment will provide support for operations respectively.

"Your Excellency, the Jinsui Army troops on the south side have begun to attack."

"They dispatched more than a thousand troops to gradually advance towards our position. According to the information we have, they are the 11th regiment in reserve."

"According to the battle report issued by the First Army Command, the head of the 11th Regiment is Chen Ziyun."

"Chen Ziyun has a strong ability to command and fight, and he is an artilleryman. The regiment is equipped with a certain number of mountain artillery."

"Looking at it now, the Jinsui Army's main attack direction should be here on the south side."

A major staff officer quickly came to Harada Kenzo and reported directly.

Kenzo Harada immediately went to the map to check. He looked at the deployment on the south side of the hill with a sneer on his face.

On the south side, there are two field brigades of the 26th Division. Although they suffered casualties before, the main force is still there.

2000 troops of [-] people have [-] heavy machine guns and [-] infantry guns.

And they have a large number of light machine guns and grenades. With the commanding heights in hand, Harada Kenzo is sure to block the attack of Chen Ziyun's troops.

Even though this unit has a powerful artillery unit, Harada Kenzo has absolute confidence in his arrangements.

"Let the third and fourth battalions in the field fight to defend against their attacks."

"At the same time, pay close attention to the dynamics of the 358 regiment in Yanzhuang Town. This unit may be the key to combat."

"In addition, get in touch with Major General Tsuda Mitake, head of the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade, and urge them to get the results quickly!"

Harada Kenzo gave the combat order in a calm tone, he thought everything was under his control.
