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

Chapter 307: Driving sheep into the pen and catching them all in one fell swoop (please subscribe)
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for exceeding the target of defending Jincheng and Yangcheng."

"The system rewards the host with eight small pieces of information. The relevant information will be released on time. Please pay attention to the host and check it."

The mechanical sound of the system sounded, and Chen Ziyun was still looking forward to some new rewards.

There are no weapons and ammunition, but fresh rewards such as the right to use drones are also good.

As a result, the system only awarded eight small pieces of information this time, and the relevant information would not be released until later.

Chen Ziyun was a little depressed, but he was relieved when he thought that his troops did not fight a decent battle in Yangcheng, Jincheng.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyun commanded the third brigade and other troops and began to return to the western area of ​​​​Zhongtiao Mountain.

At this time, Li Yunlong's independent detachment also began to secretly enter the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain in batches to develop.

By May 25th, many troops appeared one after another in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Here in the west, there is Chu Yunfei's 201st Division and Wu Mianzhi's 98th Army.

Of course, these two armies have experienced fierce battles and suffered a certain degree of casualties.

The 98th Army has two divisions, but including the troops directly under the military headquarters, they only have 1 people.

The 201st Division had a full strength of 9000 men, but its current strength is only more than [-] men.

In the battle of Yuanqu City, they faced an attack by 10,000+ Japanese and puppet troops, and they were able to escape unscathed, which is already considered good.

Of course, if Chen Ziyun and Brigadier Chen did not command the troops to attack separately, this unit would definitely be completely annihilated.

However, in the huge Zhongtiao Mountain, occasionally some officers and soldiers would come over one after another.

Although the quantity is not large, it can add up to a lot.

Especially at the end of May, the First Theater Command Commander's Department and the Second Theater Command Commander's Department successively sent messages to the 201st Division.

Wei Junru and Yan Laoxi want to supplement the 201st Division in combat. They will dispatch a group of soldiers to quickly make up for the 201st Division's combat losses.

In addition, Yan Laoxi also made a promise here. He took back the Type 201 mountain cannons equipped by the 13st Division and the Jin-made Type [-] mountain cannons.

The Second War Zone Commander's Department will replenish thirty Jin-made 17-type 75MM mountain guns at one time!

The Jinzao Type 17 Mountain Cannon is an upgraded version of the Jinzao Type 13 Mountain Cannon. Its maximum range exceeds 7000 meters.

Chu Yunfei agreed immediately without any hesitation and arranged for Liang Guoping, the leader of the baggage regiment, to handle the matter.

By May 31st, the principal of the capital sent a message personally.

The principal allocated a batch of Deshka anti-aircraft machine guns, Soviet light and heavy machine guns, combat defense artillery, and field artillery to the 201 Division.

And this time there is no routine, and it is a real supplement to the 201st Division.

What makes Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun even more unbelievable is that this batch of weapons and equipment was transported in the shortest possible time.

You must know that the Little Japanese Air Force is still blocking the Yellow River. When Chu Yunfei and others saw this batch of Soviet weapons in early June, they were stunned.

"Master, counting the anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by various units, we now have more than 50 anti-aircraft machine guns."

"This batch of artillery, plus the artillery of the artillery regiment, can form two artillery regiments."

"In addition, there are also a lot of light and heavy machine guns. We have received a lot of supplements this time."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong immediately made statistics and said with an excited expression on his face.

Chen Ziyun was very happy at first, but when he carefully inspected the weapons, his expression became serious.

We were given a lot of weapons and equipment, but the ammunition was very limited.

Twelve Soviet-style 76.2MM field guns were issued with less than [-] rounds of shells, and each field gun only had a dozen rounds of shells!
The caliber of the Soviet field gun is completely different from other artillery, and it cannot be used with other artillery shells.

This means that when these shells are used up, these twelve field cannons are not as good as fucking fire sticks!
At least the fire sticks can be lifted up to hit people. These bulky field guns have no shells and can only be used as decorations.

"No, there aren't many bullets for the Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun. There are more than 1 bullets, but the average is only two hundred bullets per shot."

"Master, if this anti-aircraft machine gun wants to pose a threat to the air, it needs to fire continuously to form a strong firepower network."

"These two hundred rounds of ammunition are not enough to organize anti-air firepower. They will be gone after a while."

Fang Ligong frowned, his previous joy completely gone, he looked at Chu Yunfei and said.

Everyone looked carefully, and everyone couldn't help but frown.

There are a lot of weapons and equipment distributed, but ammunition is extremely scarce.

There is absolutely no place to replenish Soviet-style weapons and ammunition, and these weapons are almost treated as treasures.

After all, if the ammunition is used up, these weapons will become completely useless.

At this point, everyone understood why the superiors were so generous.

These Soviet-style weapons are useless even if they run out of ammunition. They might as well give them to the 201st Division to win people's hearts.

What's more, the 201st Division is stationed here in Zhongtiao Mountain and can serve as a bridgehead for the first theater of operations.

Having this batch of weapons can somewhat enhance their combat effectiveness, allowing them to better intercept the Japanese army's southward crossing of the river.

Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, Hao Shiwen and Fang Ligong looked depressed, and it could be said that their joy was in vain.

But it can be said that something is better than nothing. After all, something is better than nothing.

What's more, these Soviet-style weapons also have some ammunition, which can be used sparingly and have some effect.

Immediately afterwards, the 201st Division carried out a large-scale formation.

Each infantry regiment has a mortar company, a small artillery company, and an anti-aircraft machine gun company directly under it.

The mortar company has six 81/82MM mortars, and the small artillery company has four 20MM machine guns.

The anti-aircraft machine gun company is equipped with six Deshka 12.7MM anti-aircraft machine guns.

The artillery regiment directly under the division headquarters was expanded into a mountain artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment.

Li Yang serves as the commander of the mountain artillery regiment, and Sun Xiong serves as the regiment affiliate. It has twelve 75MM mountain cannons and eight 105MM mountain cannons.

The Field Artillery Regiment, with Zhou Wenbo as its leader and Zhu Mingxuan as its affiliate, has twelve Soviet-style field guns, six Type [-] field guns, and six Liao-made field guns.

By May 201, after some recruitment of troops, the 9000st Division returned to its strength of [-] men.

At the same time, they also replaced some of the weapons they equipped to enhance their combat effectiveness.

As for the eliminated weapons, they were all given to the 98th Army.

Although the 98th Army is also here in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain, they are completely unloved by their father and mother.

The first war zone ignored it, but the second war zone disliked it. The materials and military pay distributed by the above were also deducted at every level.

If it weren't for the help of the 201st Division, the 98th Army might not be able to survive.

But now, their weapons and equipment are much more sophisticated than before.

Each platoon has at least two light machine guns, and a large number of Hanyang-made rifles have also been replaced with medium-sized rifles.

Each regiment has heavy machine guns and mortars, and the ammunition is sufficient, which is much better than their previous equipment.

Of course, Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei also discussed in detail that after subsequent combat seizures, the weapons and equipment of the 98th Army will still be upgraded.

After all, they are now in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain, and they need to assist each other in fighting.

The improvement of the combat effectiveness of the 98th Army will only benefit the 201st Division, not any harm.

Moreover, Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun also jointly generated electricity, hoping to organize the 201st Division and the 98th Army together under the unified command of Commander Wu Mianzhi.

It's just that no matter the first theater or the second theater, after receiving the message, they ignored it.

In the following time, Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun began to train the troops.

At the same time, the formation of militia groups also began to be put on the agenda.

As for the Japanese and puppet troops, there is no movement yet. They seem to completely ignore the Eighth Route Army and Shanxi-Sui Army troops here in Zhongtiao Mountain.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Starting on June [-], the North China Front held successive operational meetings with the army commander, division commander, and brigade commander.

Front Army Commander Tada Shun personally presided over the battle, and he expressed his strong dissatisfaction with the battle at Nakatiao Mountain.

In his opinion, the Japanese and puppet troops had an absolute advantage in this Zhongtiao Mountain battle, but they did not achieve the expected results.

The main force of the first theater of war in Zhongtiao Mountain crossed the Yellow River and moved southward, moving to the NA area of ​​the Yellow River, thereby preserving the combat troops.

Although the Japanese and puppet troops fought one after another, they only captured the open space in Zhongtiao Mountain, which was of no value.

The North China Front blamed Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun and other troops for all this.

In their view, it was the appearance of these troops and active support in the battle that caused the Japanese and puppet troops to fail to achieve the expected results this time.

As for the next battle, they will definitely go all out to annihilate the 201st Division, the independent detachment and other units.The various departments of the Japanese army and the puppet army did not continue to take combat operations. This was also the combat arrangement of the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters.

They want to trap all the fish that have slipped through the net and then completely annihilate them.

The commander of the North China Front, Shun Tada, described the next battle as herding sheep into the fold and catching them all in one fell swoop!
"Your Excellency, Commander, the 20th Division, 21st Division, 24th Division, and the [-]th Cavalry Brigade of the Royal Association Army have been organized into the Sakuma Corps."

"They have already stationed in the northern Henan area and are fully blocking the eastward evacuation route for the Zhongtiaoshan troops."

"At the same time, the 36th Division, the 37th Division, the 41st Division, the First Division of the Imperial Association Army, and the Second Division have gradually formed an encirclement around Zhongtiao Mountain."

"These troops directly opened up the connection with the Sakuma Corps, thus completely surrounding Mount Nakajo."

"All enemy troops entering the Zhongtiao Mountain area have completely fallen into our invisible encirclement."

"In addition, the Iron Horse Troops and Iron Stone Troops are also secretly mobilized. They will strengthen our peripheral defense capabilities."

"We will deploy the outer positions of Zhongtiao Mountain into a solid fortress so that they will never have the possibility of breaking out."

On the afternoon of June [-], here at the North China Front Army Headquarters, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, had a serious expression on his face and made a report directly.

The Japanese and puppet troops are currently building an invisible encirclement around Zhongtiao Mountain, and these troops have completely blocked Zhongtiao Mountain.

The main force of the First Army, the Japanese and puppet troops in the northern Henan region, secretly reinforced their defenses with a large number of heavy troops.

At the same time, the Mongolian Garrison, which is affiliated with the North China Front, mobilized elite puppet Mongolian cavalry units from the Sui-Cha provinces and organized them into iron horse units.

These troops are mobile combat units that can quickly block gaps and intercept breakout troops.

The dispatched army headquarters communicated with the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army mobilized elite troops of the puppet Manchu Army to organize iron and stone troops.

The puppet Manchukuo army will deploy a large number of elite infantry and artillery units into Jin Province to strengthen the peripheral defenses.

The so-called iron and stone troops are mainly artillery and are responsible for assisting the Japanese and puppet troops in defense and completely intercepting the Zhongtiaoshan troops.

Of course, here in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the Little Devils have assembled troops from the 21st Division, the 27th Division, and the 33rd Division.

These three full divisions will assume the absolute main force of the battle. They will adopt a series of mopping up measures in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to force the 201st Division and other units to fight decisively.

They will completely annihilate the 201st Division and other units through a decisive battle.

And because of the encirclement formed by a large number of Japanese and puppet troops, the troops of the 201st Division will not have a large range of activities.

And to their south is the Yellow River, unless they also want to cross the Yellow River and move to the south bank.

The Fifth Army and the 14th Army all crossed the river and headed to the south bank.

However, many of their troops were bombed and strafed by aviation as they crossed the river, resulting in heavy casualties.

Currently, Akiyama Toyoji's First Flight Regiment and Endo Saburo's Third Flight Regiment are still on the front line.

These aviation units can rush to support frontline operations at any time.

"The Yamamoto Kazuki special agent team also proved its strength in this battle."

"After research and decision by the North China Front Army Headquarters, a special agent combat team will be established within the First Army."

"Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki, serves as the captain of the special agent combat team."

"In the next battle, they will also fully assist the main force in the battle, so as to completely eliminate the 201 Division and other units."

"Gentlemen, if the 201st Division and other troops are completely eliminated, then the Jinsui Army of Lu Province and the Eighth Route Army can be easily annihilated."

"Before the end of this year, we are going to stabilize the security in the occupied areas of Jin Province, and absolutely no enemy troops will be allowed to exist here."

Tada Shun had a serious expression on his face, and he vowed to issue the battle order.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Shinozuka Yoshio and others stood up quickly and agreed immediately.

The Japanese and puppet troops have not given up on combat attacks on the 201st Division and other units, they are planning combat opportunities to completely annihilate them.

They asked you to enter the urn, let these troops enter the Zhongtiao Mountain area, and then completely surround it and gradually annihilate it.

By now, they have begun to deploy Japanese and puppet troops to blockade the perimeter.

At the same time, they continue to strengthen the combat strength of the puppet army so that they can become their best helpers.

Before, the little devils were on guard against the puppet troops, but now, they arranged for the Japanese and puppet troops to fight together and increased the number of heavy weapons for the puppet troops.

Huang Daofeng and Xu Chengpu's two puppet military divisions in Jin Province have more than 2 troops.

Moreover, these troops have all fought tough battles and have certain combat effectiveness.

As for their weapons and equipment, they are now being continuously strengthened. Li Yunlong is drooling when he sees it!

At this time, these two puppet divisions, together with the 36th Division, the 37th Division, and the 41st Division, were fully stationed in the southeastern Shanxi region.

They cooperated with the puppet troops, took control of the occupied area, and blocked the outskirts of Zhongtiao Mountain.

In addition, the so-called iron horse troops and iron stone troops organized by the Japanese army themselves will also come one after another to continue to enhance the defensive capabilities of the peripheral blockade.

Night falls, around ten o'clock in the evening, in the western mountainous area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain.

Here at the headquarters of the 98th Army, Wu Mianzhi brought Wang Kejing, the commander of the 42nd Division, and Guo Jingtang, the commander of the 169th Division, was meeting with Chen Ziyun.

After chatting for a while, the group came to the dining table to eat. The food was very simple, just a few steamed buns and wild vegetables.

The 98th Army is a unit of the Shaanxi Army. It has always been suppressed, and even now it is constantly being infiltrated by direct troops.

For example, the commander of the 169th Division, Guo Jingtang, was from Huangpu Phase I.

Wu Mianzhi is relatively prestigious in the 98th Army, so he can still completely control this army.

So far, the two divisions have gradually recovered some strength, with each division having about 6000 troops.

"Commander Chen, I don't know if you have anything else to discuss with us this time."

"No matter what happens between us, it doesn't matter. Without the full assistance of the 201st Division, our 98th Army may not even have a place to stay."

"Whatever the 201st Division needs, we will do our best to meet them."

Wu Mianzhi looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him and said straight to the point.

Some of the weapons and ammunition for the current soldiers of the 98th Army were sent by the 201st Division.

Even their food comes from the 201st Division.

Wu Mianzhi was very grateful to the 201st Division.

Of course, he would not think that as a military commander, he was far superior to the position of division commander Chu Yunfei.

The 201st Division has a full strength of 9000 troops, which is twice the strength of the 98th Army.

"Commander Wu, if that's the case, then I have something to say directly."

"We need to second a division of the 98th Army to conduct operations deep into Li Yuanzhen."

"Li Yuanzhen is in the center of Jiangcheng and Wenxi City. This place is currently within the defense-in-depth of the Little Japs."

"This division of the 98th Army will be at great risk, and may even be encircled and annihilated, leading to the annihilation of the entire army."

Chen Ziyun looked at Wu Miuzhi and said with a serious expression on his face.

He came directly to the map and pointed to Li Yuanzhen's location on the map.

Wu Mianzhi led two division commanders to the map. They looked at it with serious expressions on their faces.

At present, the main force of the 36th Division is in the area from Wenxicheng to Yunxian, while the 27th Division is in the areas from Jiangcheng to Yangcheng.

Of course, there are still Brigadier Chen's troops in Zijin Mountain north of Jiangcheng, but these troops are completely suppressed.

They don't have many artillery pieces, and the number of artillery shells is even rarer. Even if they occupy the high ground, they can't suppress the little devils at the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, some troops wanted to pay tribute to Yuan Zhen, but it was very difficult.

Once the troops go deep, they may be surrounded, and they will definitely be annihilated.

"Commander Chen, I promise you." Wu Mianzhi thought for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"Commander Wu, if this battle is successful, you can get at least one regiment's weapons and equipment."

"We will deploy troops to carry out operations in Wenxi City and Jiangcheng to cooperate with your actions."

"Of course, considering the defense situation here in the west, we will not deploy too many troops."

"In addition, I will also deploy heavy weapons to strengthen your combat operations."

Chen Ziyun looked at Wu Miuzhi and continued to speak.

The gift to Yuan Zhen is the information provided by the system!
According to the information provided by the system, there are about 3000 puppet Manchu troops here.

They had just arrived at Li Yuanzhen from outside the customs. This unit was well-equipped with weapons and equipment.
