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

Chapter 303 Chen Ziyun’s strategic development suggestions

Beginning on the morning of May [-]th, the Japanese Air Force's Third Flying Group Lieutenant General Toshi Kinoshita issued a series of orders.

Akiyama Toyoji's First Flight Regiment and Endo Saburo's Third Flight Regiment dispatched bombers one after another to carry out carpet bombing.

A large number of Japanese aviation troops were frequently dispatched and continued to bomb the positions of the 14th Army.

Along with the deafening explosion, thick smoke filled the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Dust was flying all over the sky, and positions began to be destroyed everywhere.

Of course, because the Japanese and puppet troops had orders from the North China Front Army Headquarters, they did not take any action, but were resting and recuperating.

A large amount of ammunition was replenished to the frontline troops through heavy equipment, and various departments of the Japanese and puppet troops also made immediate adjustments.

Some reconnaissance troops were sent out, and they wanted to know the detailed deployment of the garrison troops.

Kazuki Yamamoto directed the special team members to take successive actions, hoping to use bombing to quickly attack the command structure of the 14th Army.

However, at this time, various departments of the 14th Group Army have strengthened their defenses against the division headquarters, military headquarters, and the group army headquarters.

It is still very difficult for the special forces to attack these command organs.

The general headquarters has been advanced to the First Army Headquarters in Jincheng, and they sent staff officers directly to the front line to understand the situation of each department.

Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka also kept picking up the microphone and directly contacted various divisions on the battlefield.

He spoke with the division commanders of each division of the Little Devils to learn more about the current battlefield situation.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the Chief of Staff of the First Army Hanatani Masaru also went to each division on behalf of the army headquarters.

The North China Front Army Headquarters has been established here in Pingyang City, and Jun Tada led Yukio Kasahara and others to personally command it.

However, they only issued an order for all-out bombing, and the front army headquarters has not yet drawn up specific combat plans for each department.

Shun Tada sent Yoshio Shinozuka to the front line, obviously hoping that the First Army Headquarters could come up with a specific combat plan.

At this time, the headquarters of the 201st Division was established here at Henglingguan, south of Jiangcheng.

At present, the 201st Division has strong troops and well-equipped weapons and equipment.

Chen Ziyun proposed to search westward to see if there would be any harvest of weapons and ammunition.

Liang Guoping's baggage regiment mobilized troops to search and found some cannonballs. Of course, these cannonballs were rewards from Chen Ziyun's extraction system.

At present, the artillery regiment has been supplemented with artillery shells, and the artillerymen no longer have to worry about the problem of artillery shells.

But as each department sent the messages one by one, Chu Yunfei showed a solemn expression, and for a while he didn't know how to make a decision.

He Jingzhi, Wei Junru, and Guo Jiqiao sent a telegram from the Chief of the First Theater Command, requesting the 201st Division to unite with the independent detachment to defend the positions from Zijin Mountain to Yuanqu County.

However, Yan Laoxi, the commander of the Second War Zone, sent a different message. He asked the 201st Division to quickly join forces with the 43rd Army.

Zhao Chuanbi, commander of the 43rd Army, Chu Yunfei, commander of the 201st Division, and Chen Ziyun, commander of the infantry artillery, jointly commanded these troops to conduct operations.

After these troops reunited, they directly used Purple Mountain as their base to launch guerrilla operations on the periphery, supporting the 14th Group Army of the First Theater Area in operations.

In addition, Yan Laoxi directly revealed his thoughts. He planned to dispatch the Eighth Army to secretly go to the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southeastern Shanxi.

In Yan Laoxi's opinion, after this battle is over, all the troops deployed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area of ​​southern Shanxi will definitely evacuate to the area south of the Yellow River.

The Japanese army seems to be strong now, but these troops are drawn from all over.

It is impossible for such a large number of troops to stay in the Zhongtiao Mountain area for a long time, they must leave.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi planned to wait until the first theater troops evacuated, and after the Little Japanese troops left, the Eighth Group Army stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

The Eighth Army currently has 43rd Army and 61st Army under its jurisdiction. At the same time, Yan Laoxi is preparing to incorporate the 201st Division into the Eighth Army's battle order.

Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 201st Division, was exceptionally promoted to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army and concurrently served as the commander of the 201st Division.

Chen Ziyun was exceptionally promoted to the position of chief of staff of the Eighth Group Army, and will also continue to serve as the infantry artillery commander of the 201st Division.

Yan Laoxi's meaning is obvious. As long as Chu Yunfei nods, the 61st Army will come over quickly.

However, Chu Yunfei did not agree for a long time because he knew what the consequences would be after his troops withdrew.

The 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 16th Brigade were independently combined. The Second Division of the Royal Association Army still has more than 3 people in the area west of Zhongtiao Mountain.

As long as the 201st Division abandons its garrison at Hengling Pass and reaches Yuanqu City, the puppet troops of more than 3 days will be able to advance to the east of Zhongtiao Mountain to join the battle.

When they come here, they will definitely deal a fatal blow to the 14th Army.

"Master, if we rashly reject Commander Yan, the consequences may be beyond our imagination."

"Now our division has nearly 3 troops. Although weapons and ammunition are temporarily supplied, military supplies and food are still in great consumption."

"Looking at the current situation, except for Chief Yan, I am afraid that no one can provide us with military supplies."

"Especially after the First War Zone gradually abandons Zhongtiao Mountain, they will almost completely cut off contact with this place."

"Even if there are 10,000+ defenders here in Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be very difficult for the first theater to replenish them."

"So this matter must be treated with caution, otherwise we will starve if Commander Yan cuts off the military food supply."

Fang Ligong looked at the message on the table with a solemn expression on his face, and reminded him softly.

Chu Yunfei stood in front of the map, frowning slightly, and did not speak for a long time.

Chen Ziyun sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, and sighed heavily.

From ancient times to the present, even if we are in the same camp, it is always inevitable for people to compete with each other and different forces.

The situation of the 201st Division is very complicated, especially now that it has accommodated a large number of stragglers.

This army includes Jinsui Army troops and direct line troops.

Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun were also disciples of the Emperor and from Jin Province.

Even though this unit had strong combat effectiveness, it achieved shocking results.

But faced with these situations, not to mention Chu Yunfei, even Chen Ziyun had a headache and didn't know how to make a choice.

Judging from the deployment of the First Theater Command Headquarters, they have given up the idea of ​​​​Zhongtiao Mountain.

This means that the first theater troops will gradually withdraw from Jin Province and return directly to the area south of the Yellow River.

If the 201st Division left directly with them, it would be easy to say that all future supplies would be provided by the First Theater Zone.

But if they don't leave, staying here in Jin Province and offending Yan Laoxi is not a rational behavior.

Of course, Chen Ziyun also knows that whether it leaves or not, the 201st Division will still face a lot of troubles.

Even here in the first theater, Wei Junru may not continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the first theater.

Without Wei Junru, who can keep the 201st Division from being annexed?

As long as the 201st Division is annexed, this unit will be dismantled and torn into pieces.

I am afraid that Chen Ziyun, Chu Yunfei and others will be separated by then. This is a common method used by the direct line troops.

In the original drama, Chu Yunfei was transferred to his direct unit as division commander, and he and Fang Ligong separated.

After Chu Yunfei was promoted to army commander, Fang Ligong was able to recruit him and continue to serve as chief of staff.

Of course, there are risks in going to the first theater, and there are also troubles in staying here in the second theater.

Yan Laoxi does not rub sand in his eyes. The 201st Division has about [-] troops, and they must all be the Shanxi-Sui Army.

Now Yan Laoxi has nothing to do with the 201st Division. As long as he finds an opportunity, the unit will also be dismantled.

"Teacher, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Let's just not follow through on any of us."

"We now have a small force of [-] troops. With such a number of troops, it is not difficult to gain a foothold here in Zhongtiao Mountain."

"As long as we can take root in Zhongtiao Mountain, no matter it is the first theater or the second theater, we will be treated as meat and potatoes."

"But if we act in full compliance with their orders, the initiative will be in their hands."

"The current focus of the operation is here in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain. The west of Zhongtiao Mountain is completely empty. We can take the opportunity to gain a foothold here!"

"I suggest deploying elite troops and secretly establishing a guerrilla zone here in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain to serve as our division's retreat."

After Chen Ziyun drank the tea, he came to Chu Yunfei and said with a serious expression on his face.

No matter what choice you make now, it will obviously be manipulated by others.

Instead of doing this, it's better to take the initiative yourself.

The 201st Division is completely able to gain a foothold in Zhongtiao Mountain, as long as they stay here to develop.

Then they will definitely become the key targets of the first and second theaters.

By that time, the initiative will be in the hands of the 201st Division.

They can even use Zhongtiao Mountain to continuously expand their strength.

"Master, this might not be a good idea."

"As long as we have military power, Commander Yan will inevitably have concerns."

"And since we are based on Zhongtiao Mountain, we can also serve as the bridgehead of the first theater, and they will give us support as much as possible."

"In this case, we can travel between the two war zones without making an immediate choice."

"Our troops are here, no more and no less."

After Fang Ligong listened to Chen Ziyun's suggestion, he thought for a while and then immediately agreed.Chu Yunfei looked back at Chen Ziyun and then at Fang Ligong, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

In these years, Chu Yunfei was also suppressed by the Jinsui Army.

It was precisely because of Chen Ziyun's appearance that the troops achieved amazing results one after another, and Yan Laoxi and others gradually paid attention to Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei knew very well that his ability to serve as lieutenant general and division commander was entirely due to Chen Ziyun.

He often adopts Chen Ziyun's suggestions without hesitation.

It's just that this suggestion now makes Chu Yunfei hesitate.

Several minutes passed before Chu Yunfei nodded slowly, agreeing.

"Ziyun, if we want to stay and develop here in Zhongtiao Mountain, we must have troops outside to carry out supporting operations."

"Among so many troops, Brother Yunlong's independent detachment is obviously the best choice."

"It's inconvenient for me to come forward. You can go to the independent detachment in person."

Chu Yunfei came to the desk, looked at Chen Ziyun and said.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei picked up the brush and wrote two lines with a big stroke.

Safety will eventually require a fight, and we must share the joys and sorrows when they come!
"The special forces, field supplementary regiment, and artillery regiment and mountain artillery battalion are under your command."

"These troops will assemble quickly, wait for you to return from the independent detachment, and lead them to secretly advance towards the west of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Ziyun, success or failure depends on you!"

Chu Yunfei blew on the ink and gave the two lines of words written by himself to Chen Ziyun.

"Master, make sure to complete the mission." Chen Ziyun saluted directly and replied.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyun immediately set off for Jiangcheng.

At this time, the Japanese troops still did not attack, but continued to bombard various positions.

When Chen Ziyun came to Jiangcheng, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunlong stood in front of the map with his eyes wide open, showing a very unhappy expression.

As the battle progresses, a lot of ammunition has been consumed, but the harvest has not been much, which makes Li Yunlong very dissatisfied.

What made him even more depressed was that Brigadier Chen sent successive telegrams demanding that the independent detachment obey Wei Junru's command.

Li Yunlong felt aggrieved. He was not willing to fight such a defensive battle.

"You are all stubborn, so you don't know how to move."

"Leave one regiment behind for symbolic defense, and the main force of our detachment will look for opportunities to fight against the Japs."

"Lao Zhao, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, you should just keep talking. When you run out of fucking ammunition, you will regret it someday."

"The Jinsui Army, a direct line unit, can we compare with others?"

"They are all biological sons. They will give them whatever they want. Our family's financial resources have been wiped out. Who can make up for it?"

Seeing the determined expressions of Zhao Gang and others, Li Yunlong was so angry that he cursed his mother directly.

He originally planned to directly disobey the order, but Zhao Gang and others tried their best to stop him.

No matter what, Li Yunlong was not allowed to mobilize the troops, and several people almost got into a fight because of this.

"Li Yunlong, you fucking don't know good people's hearts."

"If it weren't for our old comrades-in-arms relationship, who would be willing to stop you."

"Keep your eyes open and take a look at these telegrams!"

"Taiyue Regional Headquarters, Division Headquarters, General Headquarters, and messages from Shaanxi Province!"

"It's not that you don't know the relationship between Chief Wei and the boss."

"You have to disobey orders at this time. Who can protect you? How many heads do you, Li Yunlong, dare to disobey the headquarters? Shaanxi Province has issued a combat order!"

Although Kong Jie is usually an honest person, when his temper comes up, even nine cows can't control him.

Kong Jie pointed to the telegram on the table, looked at Li Yunlong angrily, and shouted loudly.

"Old Li, this is not an ordinary combat order."

"When we were in the most difficult times, the guard chief extended a helping hand time and time again. You have at least heard of how much ammunition he gave us."

"Have you seen the message sent by the brigade commander himself? The brigade commander is already gathering the troops of the 386th Brigade and will be here soon."

"Look carefully at the telegrams from the division headquarters, general headquarters, etc., and see which one does not emphasize that we obey the command of the commander of the guard."

"You are disobedient and disrespectful at this time. Hehehe, even if you are a cat, nine lives are not enough to kill you."

Ding Wei came over, handed Li Yunlong a cigarette, and directly comforted him.

Li Yunlong looked at the message on the table, and the expression on his face changed.

He sat on the chair, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath.

The room became quiet. After Kong Jie and Ding Wei's persuasion, Li Yunlong finally became honest.

It was at this time that Chen Ziyun came to the detachment headquarters of the independent detachment.

When he heard that Chen Ziyun was coming, Li Yunlong smiled, his mood completely changed, and he ran outside.

"This Lao Li is a fucking dog-faced person. He will change whenever he says."

Kong Jie couldn't help but muttered, and not long after, Chen Ziyun came to the room accompanied by Li Yunlong.

"Zhengwei Zhao, Commander Ding, and Commander Kong are all here."

After Chen Ziyun saw Zhao Gang and others, he smiled and greeted them directly.

Both parties saluted each other and began to take their seats.

"Brother Ziyun, how are you doing? Do you have any news about fighting over there?"

"You have fought several times, but you have gained a lot. You led thousands of stragglers before, but this time you have made a fortune."

"To be honest, brother, I have fought several times, not to mention weapons and ammunition, even bullet boxes."

"Our independent detachment is poor and has almost run out of ammunition, but we will never be ambiguous in cooperating with Brother Ziyun and Brother Yunfei in the battle."

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Ziyun and said with a smile.

Chen Ziyun didn't know what Li Yunlong was thinking, but instead of making excuses, he directly explained his purpose.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Isn't it just cooperating on the periphery to fight?"

"Brother Ziyun, don't worry, even if our troops are the only ones left in Zhongtiao Mountain, our independent detachment will still cooperate with you in the battle."

10,000+ Japanese and puppet troops are nothing. No matter how many Japanese and puppet troops there are, they cannot scare us, Lao Li. We will definitely cooperate with you in fighting. "

Li Yunlong vowed to make a guarantee. In this regard, Li Yunlong must mean what he says.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yunlong."

"Of course we can't let Brother Yunlong's work go in vain. We moved from Wenxi City to Zijin Mountain before, and some weapons were hidden here in Zijin Mountain."

"There are eight 20MM machine guns, more than 30 light and heavy machine guns, and some grenade launchers here."

"The amount of ammunition is not too much, but it is definitely enough to sustain the current operation."

"When this battle is completely over, I will still have generous gifts to give you."

Chen Ziyun stood up, looked directly at Li Yunlong and said.

These weapons and ammunition were found by Chen Ziyun using the system's treasure hunting ultrasound.

He could have taken it away at that time, but considering the situation of the independent detachment, Chen Ziyun deliberately stayed here in Zijin Mountain.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard the weapons and equipment.

He stepped forward and gave Chen Ziyun a hug, grinning widely, showing his front teeth and smiled.

"Look at you, brother Ziyun, why are we brothers so polite?"

"Don't do this next time. This small favor is worth so many weapons and equipment."

"It's not good for this to spread out. It seems that we, Lao Li, are helping because of these weapons and equipment."

"Brother Ziyun, you know that we, Lao Li, don't have weapons and equipment as important as our relationship."

Li Yunlong said seriously, as if he didn't care about weapons and equipment at all.

Chen Ziyun smiled and said nothing, but no one knew Li Yunlong better than him.

After continuing to chat with Li Yunlong, Chen Ziyun began to return. After all, he still had to lead his troops towards the west of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Li Yunlong and his party sent Chen Ziyun away directly, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately came to Li Yunlong's side.

"Old Li, weapons and equipment are not as important as feelings. This is what you said."

"We have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Please share this batch of weapons and ammunition with us."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and spoke hurriedly.
