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

Chapter 308 The Crisis of the Independent Detachment

Chen Ziyun received systematic intelligence and knew that puppet troops were stationed in Li Yuanzhen.

Moreover, he also knew that the weapons and equipment of this puppet army were not weak. It was simply the fat that the little devils put in their mouths.

For such a unit, Chen Ziyun would definitely eat it up in one bite.

After careful consideration, Chen Ziyun decided to launch a combat operation against them to completely eliminate them and seize their weapons and equipment.

Now this puppet army has just arrived, and if we fight against it, we will definitely be able to annihilate them by surprise.

Therefore, Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei discussed repeatedly and finally decided to unite the 98th Army for a joint operation.

Chu Yunfei came to the 98th Army and met directly with Commander Wu for discussion.

The two sides hit it off immediately, and Commander Wu readily agreed.

After determining the specific combat plan, Chen Ziyun returned to the division headquarters.

Up to now, the 201st Division has been supplemented in various aspects, and they have strong strength.

The troops directly under the division headquarters alone have the strength of several regiments.

Especially the special forces troops are very elite.

At around three o'clock in the morning on June [-], Chen Ziyun first met with Chu Yunfei and reported Commander Wu's agreement to fight.

Then he went to the regiment headquarters of the special forces in person, and the regiment leader Zhang Wu came out to greet him in person.

Zhang Wu's current promotion to head of the regiment was all arranged by Chen Ziyun.

So even though Zhang Wu was Chu Yunfei's old subordinate for many years, he respected Chen Ziyun very much.

"Commander Chen, why are you here so late?"

"If anything happens, just give me a call and I'll come find you immediately."

General Zhang Wu Chen Ziyun came to the regiment headquarters, personally served tea and poured water, and said with a respectful expression on his face.

He respects Chen Ziyun from the bottom of his heart, and this respect is not only because Chen Ziyun promoted him to be the leader.

And it was also because Zhang Wu followed Chen Ziyun in battles time and time again and saw Chen Ziyun's super commanding ability.

The most important point is that Chen Ziyun always takes the lead every time he fights.

From Chen Ziyun's mouth, he will never give an order to fight with me, but always an order to fight with me.

"How is your regiment's recent reorganization? Have you replenished all the weapons that need to be replenished?"

"By the way, has Chu Yu been transferred here? The division headquarters wants to organize you into a guard regiment in the future."

"You will have very heavy responsibilities in the future. Of course, you cannot ignore combat training just because you are a guard force."

"You have to continue to undertake combat missions, and you all have to take the lead."

Chen Ziyun looked towards Zhang Wu and asked with a smile on his face.

This regiment is composed of cavalry battalions and other units. Zhang Wu currently also serves as the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Chen Ziyun is very concerned about this team. After all, this is the team he trained!

The cavalry battalion, the special agent battalion that merged the special agent company and the reconnaissance company, and other units were all led by Chen Ziyun.

By now Chen Ziyun can be considered a core member of Chu Yunfei's side, and he also has an understanding of Chu Yu.

Although Chu Yunfei did not admit it personally, Chen Ziyun was absolutely certain that this Chu Yu was a relative of Chu Yunfei.

Chen Ziyun has not yet figured out the specific relationship.

But Chen Ziyun knew Chu Yu's abilities very well, so this time he also transferred him to the Zhangwu Regiment to serve!
"Chu Yu has been transferred here and serves as the commander of the special agent battalion."

"In addition, Monk Wei serves as the deputy battalion commander, and Xie Yunxia is transferred to the cavalry battalion as the deputy battalion commander."

"Commander Chen, our regiment has been strengthened by a lot of weapons and equipment."

"Please rest assured that we will always maintain combat levels."

"No matter when, as long as you arrange for us to perform combat missions, we will definitely achieve results that satisfy you."

Zhang Wu looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him, with a serious expression on his face, and made a promise on the spot.

When Chen Ziyun heard Zhang Wu's assurance, a smile appeared on his face.

He came to the map, pointed at Li Yuanzhen's position, and explained softly.

"Your regiment will have combat missions next, please make arrangements and conduct reconnaissance here in advance."

"Choose smart officers and soldiers to avoid being discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops. In addition, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

"The whole regiment must be prepared for battle. As long as you join the battle, you will definitely be the main force!"

Chen Ziyun looked at Zhang Wu in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, Commander Chen." Zhang Wu agreed immediately without any hesitation.

Originally, Chen Ziyun planned to visit each camp, but considering time issues, he canceled this plan.

After continuing to talk with Zhang Wu, Chen Ziyun left directly.

After leaving Zhangwu Regiment, Chen Ziyun thought for a while and instead of going back to rest, he started to head to the mountain artillery regiment's station.

Currently in the 201st Division, the artillery unit is definitely Chen Ziyun's confidant unit.

These troops were all brought out by Chen Ziyun, and they were extremely loyal to Chen Ziyun.

Especially the mountain artillery regiment, the regiment leader Li Yang and the deputy regiment leader Sun Xiong were both promoted by Chen Ziyun.

When Chen Ziyun served as the commander of the artillery company, they were the platoon commanders under Chen Ziyun.

By the time Chen Ziyun arrived at the mountain artillery regiment's station, it was already past five o'clock, and the sky was gradually getting brighter.

The soldiers of the Mountain Artillery Regiment had already gotten up for training, and they had to do physical training in the morning.

Many people saluted after seeing Chen Ziyun. The officer leading the team came to Chen Ziyun and asked if he had any instructions.

Chen Ziyun arranged for them to continue training, while he went directly to the regiment headquarters.

After receiving the news, Li Yang and Sun Xiong were already waiting outside. When Chen Ziyun arrived, they quickly saluted.

Chen Ziyun returned the greeting to them, and the group arrived at the regimental headquarters.

"Commander Chen, the mountain artillery regiment has begun to complete its formation, and we have also begun training."

"Because there is a detailed shooting parameter table, the mountain artillery regiment can be put into combat at any time."

"Please rest assured, we old subordinates will definitely not embarrass you."

Li Yang looked at Chen Ziyun and said firmly.

Chen Ziyun nodded, he believed in Li Yang and Sun Xiong very much.

Here at the regiment headquarters, Chen Ziyun inquired in detail about the situation of the mountain artillery regiment.

Li Yang and Sun Xiong reported directly. At around six o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun had breakfast at the headquarters of the mountain artillery regiment.

Then, accompanied by Li Yang and Sun Xiong, he began to inspect various ministries.

The mountain artillery regiment has twelve 75MM mountain cannons and eight 105MM mountain cannons.

These mountain cannons have detailed firing parameter tables provided by the system. As long as the artillerymen get started, they can accurately launch artillery fire.

Starting at 07:30, Chen Ziyun selected some officers and asked for some professional knowledge.

These officers answered fluently, and Chen Ziyun was very satisfied with this.

"Captain Li, Deputy Commander Sun, your regiment will have combat missions next."

"You need to prepare in advance. You also know the situation here in Zhongtiao Mountain."

"This place is conducive to mobile operations of the mountain artillery unit, but the field artillery regiment may not be able to perform mobile operations."

"So in the next battle, you will be responsible for most of the battle. You must be mentally prepared."

Chen Ziyun made an explanation and left the mountain artillery regiment's station at nine o'clock in the morning.

When Chen Ziyun returned to the division headquarters, Chu Yunfei immediately found Chen Ziyun.

Chu Yunfei held a combat meeting at the division headquarters to discuss the combat deployment against Li Yuanzhen.

In this battle, the 98th Army will definitely play the leading role, and the 201st Division will also conduct cooperative operations.

Considering the strength of the 98th Army, Chen Ziyun proposed to let Zhang Wutuan assist in the battle.

As for the mountain artillery regiment, it is assigned to the 201st Division's assisting troops.

As for the selection of assisting teams, Chen Ziyun naturally did not make any suggestions.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong proposed that the first and second brigades conduct coordinated operations near the battlefield to support the operations.

Chu Yunfei didn't hesitate much and directly approved it.

As the combat conference room ended, Fang Ligong began to generate electricity to contact the 98th Army.

Chen Ziyun, who had been busy for a while, went back to rest.

As for the various ministries participating in the war, they also received combat orders and began to prepare.

Both Zhang Wu's regiment and Li Yang's regiment will participate in this battle.

This is also the reason why Chen Ziyun went to their army. Only by understanding the situation of the army in detail can he determine whether he can arrange for them to fight.

Time is passing. In the afternoon, Jin Province is too far away, and the First Army Headquarters is here.Lieutenant General Commander Yoshio Shinozuka stood in front of the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

At this time, the commander of the North China Front, Tada Shun, was personally making deployment arrangements, hoping to drive the sheep into the pen and catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka always felt uneasy about Tada Shun's idea.

Especially the North China Front Army had made careful preparations, but in the end the Zhongtiao Mountain battle still did not achieve the expected results.

Although the troops in the first theater were repelled and left Zhongtiao Mountain, these troops did not suffer a devastating blow.

After they go to the south bank to rest for a period of time, they can gradually regain their combat effectiveness.

It can be said that the Zhongtiao Mountain battle was a complete failure.

Yoshio Shinozuka had a vague feeling that Tada Shun's combat strategy this time might not achieve the expected results.

"Tanaka Kuichi's 21st Division suffered heavy casualties and is still resting in the area south of Pingyang City."

"The 27th Division needs to be responsible for the defense of certain towns, and the 33rd Division is responsible for defense within the depth of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Your Excellency, Commander, tried to rely on the Imperial Association Army and other troops to strengthen the defense, and completely trapped Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and other troops."

"This is completely idiotic. If we can expect these Imperial Alliance troops to annihilate them."

"Then their troops will not pose such a threat to us. I am afraid that this battle may not achieve the expected results."

"However, we cannot change the decision of the Front Army Headquarters."

"What we can do now is to improve the combat plan as much as possible."

"Contact the front army headquarters. The location of Shunwangping is very important. We must station enough troops."

Yoshio Shinozuka had a serious expression on his face. He looked at the map and murmured to himself.

He also knew that he could not change Tada Shun's combat ideas.

So he began to point to the location of Shunwang Ping in Nakajo Mountain, and immediately issued orders to the chief of staff beside him, Hanatani Masaru.

"Hi, Your Excellency Commander." Hua Guzheng agreed immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the First Army Headquarters began to contact the North China Front Army Headquarters to make a detailed report.

After Tada Shun received the telegram, he studied it carefully and then made a decision directly.

That is to arrange for an artillery regiment to be stationed directly in the Shunwangping area!
On the evening of the [-]th, Chen Ziyun and other troops in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain began to take action.

They used the cover of night to gradually advance towards the designated area.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops had no idea that the troops of Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun had just experienced combat and would start operations again.

They were relatively lax on the whole, so the Japanese and puppet troops were not aware of the actions of these troops.

Throughout the night, Chen Ziyun and other troops marched one after another, and during the day, they went into hiding.

On the morning of June [-], in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain, the detachment headquarters of the independent detachment was here.

At this time, Li Yunlong's troops were stationed here, and the three regiments were in different areas.

Now Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie are gathered together. They stand in front of the map, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Because they received reports one after another that Japanese and puppet troops seemed to be stationed here in Shunwangping.

Shun Wangping is located in the northwest of the independent detachment's activity range. If the Japanese and puppet troops stationed troops here.

It is obvious that they are coming for the independent detachment, and the Japanese and puppet troops can use Shun Wangping as a springboard to continuously attack them.

"Captain of the detachment, we just received the news that artillery has begun to transport towards Shun Wangping."

Not long after, Zhao Gang came to Li Yunlong and quickly reported.

After Li Yunlong heard the news, his eyes widened and his expression became more solemn.

If the Japanese and puppet troops established an artillery position in Shunwangping, it would be a bolt from the blue for the independent detachment.

"Lao Li, we can't let them build artillery positions here."

"Otherwise, our troops will be completely under the attack of their artillery."

"Even if we want to take any action in the future, we will be interfered by their artillery."

"Yes, Lao Li, should we take action in advance and dispatch troops to Shunwangping first?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said with serious expressions on their faces.

"I know that they must not be allowed to set up artillery positions, let alone be stationed here."

"Otherwise, we will be a living target for them, and they can use this place as a springboard to attack us at any time."

"But now if we deploy troops to Shunwangping, I'm afraid it will cause a large-scale battle."

"We just came here. If we want to carry out a large-scale battle, we don't have the capital at all."

"I see, if you want to fight this battle, you have to contact Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun."

"There is also the 33rd Division here in Yuanqu City. With their cooperation, our battle will become much easier."

"Otherwise, all the Japanese and puppet troops will come towards us, and the three regiments of the independent detachment will not be able to respond."

Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said with a serious expression on his face.

Although Li Yunlong is usually careless, when it comes to combat, he is very careful.

And he doesn't fight uncertain battles. He knows the situation near the independent detachment very well.

So he knew that if he acted rashly, he would definitely suffer.

"Lao Li, how about we give them electricity and explain the situation."

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and suggested directly.

Li Yunlong looked at the map and thought for a moment. This battle is of great importance.

To be on the safe side, Li Yunlong decided to make a trip in person.

He was going to the east to find Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun and explain the situation face to face.

Zhao Gang and others were shocked when they heard that Li Yunlong was going to the east of Zhongtiao Mountain in person.

After all, the troops of the 33rd Infantry Division have cut off the connection between the east and the west.

If Li Yunlong wants to go there, he must pass through the little devil blockade.

If there was any accident, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Lao Li, it's too dangerous for you to go there in person."

"If anything happens to you, it's totally worth the loss."

"I think it's safer to send electricity and contact us."

"That's right, Lao Li. To the east of us are the Japanese troops."

"They have blocked our contact with Commander Chu's troops. It would be too dangerous for you to go there."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie had worried expressions on their faces and hurriedly tried to persuade them.

But Li Yunlong's decision will not be changed easily.

What's more, now that he is still the detachment leader, he doesn't care at all when Ding Wei and others try to persuade him.

In the afternoon of that day, Li Yunlong started to set off. He took Hu Zi and others and set off directly.

Time passed and night fell. At this time, Chu Yunfei commanded the first brigade and the second brigade troops gradually launched operations.

Chen Ziyun also began to lead Zhang Wu's troops and follow Commander Wu's troops to act.

These troops moved quickly under the cover of darkness.

At this time, at Li Yuanzhen, the ninth regiment of the puppet army was already stationed here.

The commander of the puppet army, Yamamoto Isamu, stood in front of the map, his eyes showing an indifferent expression.

The troops under his command are well-equipped with weapons and equipment and have combat effectiveness.

So after coming here, Yamamoto Isamu had great ambitions, and he wanted to perform well.

But he had no idea that what he had to deal with at this time was the attack from Chen Ziyun and other troops.

"Tuanzuo, the nearby Taijun sent personnel to ask us to be more vigilant."

"At the same time, they asked us to build positions overnight to prepare for defense."

"This is the war situation report they sent. It records in detail the situation of Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Li Yunlong's troops."

"These troops are elite troops with strong combat effectiveness."

"They have gained successive victories here, and even Taijun's troops have suffered heavy casualties."

At this time, a communications soldier came to Yamamoto Isamu and hurriedly reported.

"The so-called elite troops are completely vulnerable to me."

"It doesn't matter if they don't come here. As long as they come, I will make them pay a heavy price."

"Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Li Yunlong's troops, they will become my stepping stones!"

The leader of the puppet army had a sneer on his face and said with amusement on his face.
