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

Chapter 309 Lao Li comes to celebrate the victory

After Chen Ziyun completed the task of defending the Jincheng and Yangcheng systems before, the system did not award any weapons and ammunition.

However, the system has rewarded eight small pieces of information and will distribute them on time.

Now Chen Ziyun has received a small piece of information, that is, the ninth regiment of the puppet army has stationed in Li Yuanzhen.

According to the information provided by the system, the ninth regiment of the puppet army had just traveled a long distance from outside the customs to Shanxi Province.

The regiment has about 3000 troops, well-equipped weapons and equipment, and has certain combat effectiveness.

Directly under its regiment headquarters are a heavy machine gun company, a level artillery company, a light mortar company, and a heavy mortar platoon.

There are three infantry battalions under its jurisdiction, and each infantry battalion has four infantry companies.

Each infantry company is equipped with twelve light machine guns, twelve grenade launchers, and 120 rifles!

This is a strengthened regiment, with more than [-] light machine guns and grenade launchers in the entire regiment.

The regiment headquarters has twelve heavy machine guns, six 80MM mortars, two 150MM mortars, and six 37MM flat-fire cannons!
With such a firepower configuration, as long as they are given enough time to rest and establish a complete defensive position in Li Yuanzhen, the consequences can be imagined.

There are 3000 troops, equipped with more than 100 light and heavy machine guns, more than 100 grenade launchers, and more than a dozen artillery pieces.

With such a configuration, it would be difficult for even one regiment of the 201st Division to defeat their position.

After careful consideration, Chen Ziyun decided to take advantage of the fact that they had just arrived and had not yet established a stable foothold to annihilate them by surprise.

The 98th Army is currently lacking weapons and equipment. If such weapons are provided to them, it can enhance the combat effectiveness of their troops.

So after discussing with Chu Yunfei, Hao Shiwen, and Fang Ligong, Chen Ziyun came to the 98th Army.

Wu Mianzhi, the commander of the 98th Army, readily agreed without any hesitation.

And in this battle, he dispatched the 169th Division, which he had served as the division commander, to perform combat missions.

The commander of the 169th Division, Guo Jingtang, was from the Huangpu Phase I and also had strong commanding abilities.

In previous battles, the 169th Division fought very tenaciously, holding on to their positions several times and refusing to retreat.

Their weapons and equipment are poor, but their fighting will is tenacious, and they fight to the death against the little devils every time.

That night, Chen Ziyun had a detailed conversation with Guo Jingtang and learned about the situation of the 169th Division.

The 169th Division currently has more than 505 people and is under the jurisdiction of the 506th Regiment, the 507th Regiment, and the [-]th Regiment.

Each of the three regiments has about 2000 troops. Each regiment is equipped with an average of about fifty light and heavy machine guns, six infantry guns or mortars.

In addition, they also have about ten 60MM mortars, which are quite sufficient in terms of ammunition.

Of course, this is due to the strong recruitment of the 201st Division. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to have such a large number of weapons and ammunition.

In the past, some of their troops were equipped with light machine guns in each company, mainly rifles.

But when they came to the west of Zhongtiao Mountain, the 201st Division gave them some eliminated weapons, which made them greatly improved.

However, even so, the 169th Division only has more than 100 guns, and the number of artillery is even rarer, far less than an infantry regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army.

The officers and soldiers of the 169th Division were looking forward to this battle, especially when they heard that they could get a regiment of weapons and equipment.

By two o'clock in the morning on June 201, Chen Ziyun returned to the [-]st Division station.

At present, the 201st Division has undergone a series of replenishments, and the overall weapons and equipment are very sophisticated.

Of course, some of the Soviet-style weapons they supplemented had the disadvantage of insufficient ammunition.

At first, Chen Ziyun was still worried about this matter, but later he completely figured it out.

The difficulty of replenishing Soviet-style weapons and ammunition is definitely an unsolvable situation for others.

But for Chen Ziyun, it is possible for him to solve the ammunition problem through the system.

Even next, they will fight against the puppet troops and seize Liao-made weapons. For these Liao-made weapons, he can also replenish ammunition through the system.

Having been here for a few months, Chen Ziyun has great emotions.

Even though the system is in place, it is still difficult.

This little devil is really not easy to fight.

This is also verified. No wonder they say that those who can kill little devils are heroes!

After returning to the headquarters of the 201st Division, Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei reported.

This time the 201st Division is mainly engaged in cooperative operations. They will deploy troops to contain the 36th Division of Wenxicheng and the 27th Division of Jiangcheng.

The choice to arrange for the 98th Army to attack was also carefully considered.

There are many benefits to allowing them to conduct proper combat and improve their combat effectiveness.

Of course, both Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun know the situation of the 98th Army, so they will allocate troops to strengthen the 98th Army's participating troops.

The special forces regiment headed by Zhang Wu has received a series of reinforcements.

It has a cavalry battalion, a special agent battalion, a machine gun battalion, and a combat artillery battalion.

At present, the cavalry battalion is being expanded again. It has four cavalry companies and one machine gun company.

Each cavalry company has 200 men and is equipped with nine light machine guns, nine grenade launchers, and 120 Czech rifles or Type [-] rifles.

The machine gun battery is equipped with six Type [-] heavy machine guns, two Japanese Type [-] infantry cannons, and two Japanese Type [-] rapid-fire cannons.

The cavalry battalion is a strengthened battalion. Strictly speaking, a troop of about 1000 people can form a cavalry regiment.

The special agent battalion was also reorganized, with three infantry companies and one machine gun company under its jurisdiction.

Each infantry company has three infantry platoons, and each platoon has three infantry squads and one mortar squad.

Each infantry squad is equipped with two sniper rifles, one light machine gun, and nine assault troops.

The organization of the machine gun company is the same as that of the cavalry battalion.

The commandos are Chen Ziyun's absolute aces selected from various ministries, and they are completely at the level of special forces.

There are even some assault soldiers whose strength is directly judged by the system to be at the level of King of Soldiers.

Up to now, the special agent camp was formed by Chen Ziyun's search for elite soldiers. This unit has been evaluated by the system as an ace unit.

The commando still maintains a three-gun configuration, a shell gun, a submachine gun, and a semi-automatic rifle.

Chen Ziyun also paid special attention to this unit. Chu Yu, who was originally promoted to be a lieutenant colonel, was specially transferred by Chen Ziyun to serve as a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander.

Monk Wei serves as the deputy battalion commander of the major.

Xie Yunxia, ​​the former battalion commander, is currently transferred to the cavalry battalion as deputy battalion commander.

The establishment of the machine gun battalion has not been adjusted, and it still has 36 Japanese-style light and heavy machine guns.

The combat anti-artillery battalion is equipped with twelve Soviet-style 37MM combat anti-artillery.

This Soviet-style 37MM anti-tank gun is an imitation of the German-made 37MM anti-tank gun. Its performance and quality are definitely not as good as the German-made anti-tank gun.

But as the saying goes, something is better than nothing. Something is better than nothing.

The Special Forces Regiment has more than [-] people and is a mixed combat force with multiple arms.

Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei proposed to assign it to the 169th Division to fight, thereby enhancing the division's offensive capabilities.

Chu Yunfei naturally had no objection to this and directly agreed.

On the morning of June 201, a combat meeting was held at the [-]st Division headquarters.

Wu Mianzhi of the 98th Army also came with two division commanders and participated in the meeting.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong announced the combat mission and they will launch combat operations on the [-]th.

The focus is to annihilate the ninth regiment of Li Yuanzhen's Puppet Manchu Army. The 169th Division is assigned a special forces regiment to undertake this combat mission.

Li Chongtao's first brigade and Hao Shiwen's second brigade were respectively assigned to the 75MM mountain artillery of the mountain artillery regiment.

These two brigades mainly carried out diversionary attacks on Wenxi City and Jiangcheng to support the 169th Division's operations.

After the detailed deployment of the combat mission, everyone began to gather around the map.

The Japanese and puppet troops have been silent, but this does not mean that they will not take any combat actions.

The North China Front Army and the First Army Headquarters formulated the strategy of driving sheep into the pen and catching them all in one fell swoop.

As the defensive forces continue to increase outside Zhongtiao Mountain, the 201st Division has gradually realized that something is wrong.

Even the headquarters of the Second Theater Command began to send telegrams, asking our 201st Division to pay close attention to the developments outside Zhongtiao Mountain.

After all, here in southern Jin Province, there are still a large number of Japs troops at this time, and the number of puppet troops is also increasing.

Moreover, it is also very abnormal for them to gradually build artillery positions at some commanding heights.

In response to this, officers from the 201st Division and the 98th Army began discussions.

Of course, they don't know the specific combat plan of the Japanese and puppet troops, but they can feel that a storm is coming.

Until evening, Wu Mianzhi began to return with two division commanders.

At the same time, at eight o'clock in the evening, various ministries began to make secret mobilization in preparation for combat operations.

Currently, the Little Devils are still deploying troops of the 33rd Division here in Qucheng, Zhongtiao Mountain.

The main force of its division is in Yuanqu City. At the same time, the first division extends its defense to the north and gets in touch with the troops of the 27th Division of Jiangcheng.Tanaka Kuichi's 21st Division had more overall casualties than the 27th Division and the 33rd Division.

Therefore, the 21st Division is currently resting in the area north of Purple Mountain, but now they have returned to full strength and can participate in the battle at any time.

However, a large number of puppet troops failed to arrive, so the little devil was not anxious at all and quietly planned.

Of course, the Japanese troops would never have counted on Chen Ziyun's systematic assistance.

The position of the ninth regiment of the Puppet Manchukuo Army has been exposed.

Moreover, Chen Ziyun immediately proposed to launch a combat strike against them and strive to completely annihilate them.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet troops believed that the 201st Division and other troops in Zhongtiao Mountain had just experienced a war, and they would not attack rashly.

Therefore, in terms of overall defense, it is still relatively lax.

In particular, their various ministries are connected and can quickly support each other in operations.

With such complete protection, their mentality is inevitably a little relaxed.

On the night of the [-]th, the Japanese and puppet troops were not even aware of the mobilization of a large number of troops.

By daylight on the [-]th, various ministries began to disperse and hide.

The dense forest of Zhongtiao Mountain provided them with good cover.

At the same time, here in the eastern area of ​​Zhongtiao Mountain.

Li Yunlong's independent detachment has already arrived here, and the three regiments have been stationed in different areas.

However, Li Yunlong's current situation is not very optimistic. They have the main force of the 33rd Division in Yuanqu City to the west and the 27th Division to the north.

As for their east side, there is the Sakuma Corps organized by Japanese and puppet troops.

There are no troops in the south, but the Yellow River is in the south.

The independent detachment is greatly restricted here, and they have been sitting on nothing for a while.

The situation here in the 201st Division is relatively good, and the first theater can sneak in some reinforcements under the cover of night.

Moreover, their connection with the Jinsui Army in western Shanxi has not been completely cut off, and both theaters can be replenished.

But the independent detachment did not have any supplements. As the leader of the detachment, Li Yunlong became more and more irritable.

Especially as the weather gets hotter and hotter, and it's the rainy season, life in the mountains is not good.

"Hehehehe, what is this? People are going to be unlucky, and even a mouthful of cold water will make their teeth clench."

"If it were before, let alone the damn puppet soldiers, it doesn't matter if they were little devils. I would beat them if I told them to."

"It's better now, the puppet troops are fucking sitting on our heads and shitting!"

"If they allow them to establish the artillery position at Shunwangping, it will be like a sharp sword hanging over our heads."

"I don't care how many artillery pieces are installed in the artillery positions here, we must destroy them!"

"Otherwise, if there are artillery here, it will be too much of a threat to us."

On the afternoon of the [-]th, Li Yunlong couldn't help shouting loudly in the detachment headquarters.

He got the news and knew that the puppet troops were about to set up an artillery position at Shunwangping.

Some common people saw puppet troops wearing uniforms similar to those of the Japs one after another, transporting artillery towards Shunwangping.

After learning the news, Li Yunlong was furious.

Originally, he had Japanese troops on three sides. If Shunwangping had an artillery position again, the independent detachment would be in a very dangerous situation.

For a moment, Li Yunlong stood in front of the map, his eyes coldly looking towards the location of King Shun Ping.

Shun Wangping is the area where the 43rd Army was previously stationed. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The 43rd Army once blocked a large number of Japanese attacks here, which shows that this place is very conducive to defense.

The Japanese army also attaches great importance to this place, and specially arranged for the first regiment of the puppet independent artillery to be stationed here.

The first independent artillery regiment of the puppet army is equipped with 24 Liao-made Type 13 75MM field guns.

This is an artillery imitation of the Japanese Type 800 field gun, but this artillery is lighter than the Type [-] field gun, only over [-] kilograms.

The First Army Headquarters deployed these artillery here, naturally to deal with the troops here in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain.

With this puppet artillery unit in Shunwangping, Yuanqu City, Shunwangping, and Yangcheng can be connected together.

With their first-line position here, they can effectively blockade the independent detachment in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

These 24 Liao-made field guns were stationed at Shunwangping. It can be said that one man can guard the gate and ten thousand people can't open it.

It is almost impossible for the independent detachment of more than 9000 troops to capture Shunwangping.

Li Yunlong naturally knew how much of a threat the artillery position at Shunwangping would pose to his independent detachment once it was completed.

He really wanted to annihilate them, but the current situation was obviously not something they could handle alone.

The Shunwangping artillery position has not yet been formed, but the defense of these artillery units on the spot is enough to cause the independent detachment to pay heavy losses.

What's more, there are Japanese troops in Yuanqu City and Jiangcheng, and they can rush to help at any time.

Under such circumstances, Li Yunlong could not fight alone.

"The Purple Mountain Brigade Commander is unable to support us. The only one who can help us is the 201st Division."

"Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are amazing guys. They expanded their troops without saying a word."

"Three brigades, seven infantry regiments, artillery regiments, field supplementary regiments and other units, the entire division has 3 troops."

"If they assist us in fighting, it will not be difficult to deal with the Shunwangping artillery position."

"Hehehe, maybe this time our old Li can also create an artillery regiment."

Li Yunlong thought for a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and he said directly to Zhao Gang beside him.

"Old Li, let's generate electricity immediately and contact the 201st Division troops?" Zhao Gang said hurriedly.

"No, you can't generate electricity for such an important matter. If a kid deciphers it, it will be in trouble."

"There is no fighting here for the time being. I will take Huzi's special agent company and go directly to the west."

"I will have a good discussion with Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun and ask them to send troops to assist us in the battle."

Li Yunlong thought for a while, and he knew that the little devil could decipher the message.

In addition, after all, joint operations between the two sides will definitely be inevitable in the future, so this time Li Yunlong planned to personally visit the headquarters of the 201st Division.

Zhao Gang still wanted to persuade him, but what Li Yunlong decided could not be changed by others.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong began to contact Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

When night fell, he began to lead the special agent company and advance directly to the west.

It was at this time that Chu Yunfei commanded the first brigade, and the second brigade gradually advanced towards Wenxi City and Jiangcheng.

Chen Ziyun led Zhang Wu's special forces regiment, followed the 169th Division troops, and quickly advanced towards Li Yuanzhen.

These troops took advantage of the cover of night and moved quickly, but the Japanese and puppet troops were not aware of it at all.

Li Yuanzhen, here is the temporary headquarters of the ninth regiment of the puppet army.

Because Li Yuanzhen launched fierce battles several times, almost all the houses here were destroyed, so after the puppet troops stationed here, they built temporary houses.

Yamamoto Isamu, the colonel leader of the puppet army, stood in front of the map and looked coldly at the location of Mount Nakatiao.

Not long after, Yamamoto Isamu sneered and returned to his seat. He took out his saber and began to wipe it carefully.

Yamamoto Isamu was originally the captain of the Japanese field force, but after being injured, his legs and feet were not good and he could no longer stay in the field force.

But he himself was unwilling to lose the opportunity to fight, so he came to the puppet army.

Soon, he served as the commander of the ninth regiment of the puppet army.

This time they were seconded and stationed directly at Li Yuanzhen to assist the Japanese army in forming a blockade.

Yamamoto Isamu is looking forward to the next battle. He has always wanted to prove his commanding ability.

And commanding these puppet troops to fight naturally cannot satisfy him.

"I hope that through this battle, I can prove my strength. With my ability, I can command a regiment to fight."

"The Jinsui Army troops in Zhongtiao Mountain, I hope you can break out as soon as possible. I will use your countless corpses to accumulate enough military exploits!"

"Order the troops to have a good rest and start moving into positions tomorrow to prepare for defense."

"Starting tomorrow, we will strengthen the position here to make Li Yuanzhen a strong fortress!"

After wiping his saber, Yamamoto Isamu had a cold expression on his face and immediately gave the order.

"Yes, Your Excellency, the regiment commander." The messenger outside immediately replied.

　There are prohibited areas in Chapter 308, which have been modified and are being applied to be lifted. Please wait patiently.
