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

Chapter 315 Am I easy to fool?

Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong teamed up to kill three regiments of the puppet army's 20th Division. In this battle, the two of them made a fortune.

On June [-], Chen Ziyun commanded the guard regiment while the mountain artillery regiment rested.

Chen Ziyun commanded an independent detachment and quickly replenished weapons.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also came to Chen Ziyun and asked Chen Ziyun to send professional soldiers to assist in short-term training.

After all, they now have a lot of heavy weapons, but they lack professional soldiers. A lot of weapons and ammunition have been added to the army, but no one knows how to use them.

At this time, Li Yunlong also directly organized two artillery battalions.

The First Artillery Battalion has eighteen Shanxi orogenic guns.

The Second Artillery Battalion has twelve cannons.

This is exactly the number of artillery pieces of an artillery regiment, but Li Yunlong did not have the guts to directly organize an artillery regiment.

Brigadier Chen and Commander Liu did not have an artillery regiment here. If Li Yunlong had an artillery regiment, the results can be imagined.

At the same time, the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment also received a large number of heavy weapons to enhance their combat effectiveness.

Of course, the First Artillery Battalion was expanded from the mountain artillery companies directly under the three regiments.

In the following time, the eastern independent detachment of Zhongtiao Mountain and Chen Ziyun's troops were completely resting.

They have not launched any combat operations for the time being, and the attack on Shun Wangping has been postponed for the time being.

Chu Yunfei commanded the first brigade, and the third brigade troops also temporarily stopped attacking Hengling Pass, and they retreated to the western area.

However, these two brigades still maintained a threat to Hengling Pass.

The main force of the 33rd Little Devils Division is deployed here in Yuanqu City, and a part of it is stationed at Hengling Pass for defense.

The main force of the 27th Division is deployed here in Jiangcheng, and one part is responsible for the defense of Yangcheng and Jincheng.

As for other troops, there were no large-scale mobilizations.

However, the Sakuma Corps in the northern Henan region has deployed the 20th and 24th puppet divisions to advance to the area south of the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The two divisions are currently gathered together and stationed in place, with no intention of evacuating for the time being.

Of course, the 20th Division of the Puppet Army suffered heavy losses, and they suffered heavy casualties. Currently, they do not have much combat strength.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the capital of Shanxi Province was too far away, and it was in the headquarters of the First Army.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Iwamatsu stood in front of the map, his face becoming solemn.

Major General Masanori Hanatani, chief of staff, was holding relevant documents and making continuous reports, with a worried face at the same time.

Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong teamed up to kill three regiments of the puppet army, causing thousands of casualties to them.

You must know that these puppet troops were carefully selected by the Japanese North China Front Army. They have certain combat capabilities.

The little devil wants to continue to organize such a puppet army, but it will take some time.

Therefore, the losses of these puppet troops had an impact on the Japanese army.

In particular, Li Tiejian was the puppet army officer they focused on training, and they also hoped that Li Tiejian could assist them in fighting.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the First Regiment, Second Regiment, and Artillery Regiment of the 20th Division of the Royal Association Army have been completely destroyed."

"The weapons and equipment of these three regiments have completely fallen into the hands of the enemy. According to our reliable intelligence, the main force of the Eighth Route Independent Detachment is fighting this time."

"There is also a unit of the 201st Division participating in the battle. Based on its operations, this unit is likely to be commanded by Chen Ziyun."

"The 20th Division of the Imperial Association Army has temporarily lost its combat capability, and here in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain, the enemy is likely to continue fighting."

"And near Hengling Pass, there is still the main force of the 201st Division. Our troops are completely contained and are very passive in combat."

Hanatani was looking at Yoshio Iwamatsu in front of him and quickly reported.

Iwamatsu Yoshio is a little surprised now. He did not expect that he would encounter such a situation.

This time he came to serve as the commander of the First Army. He was solely responsible for wooing Yan Laoxi and commanding the operations. The base camp did not intend to let him take responsibility.

But now the battle in Zhongtiao Mountain is gradually unfolding, and thousands of puppet troops have been attacked.

Even Hengling Pass, which the Japanese army was responsible for, began to be attacked. Under such circumstances, Iwamatsu Yoshio did not know how to respond.

Of course, even if he wants to command operations, he must obtain the consent of the front army headquarters.

After all, the commander of the North China Front, Tada Shun, was single-handedly responsible for the operations in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

"Get in touch with the front army headquarters immediately and report the situation here in detail."

"Request Your Excellency, Commander, to provide immediate tactical guidance to disrupt this enemy operation."

"In addition, contact the various divisions in the Zhongtiao Mountain area to ask them to stay in place and strengthen contact with each other to ensure that each department does not suffer too many casualties."

Yoshio Iwamatsu had a serious expression on his face and immediately issued a combat order.

Hua Guzheng didn't dare to delay and immediately started to generate electricity and contact the front army headquarters.

At this time, at the North China Front Army Headquarters, Tada Shun had already received a combat report on Zhongtiao Mountain.

He was very angry when he knew that the puppet army's 20th Division had lost three regiments.

After all, he had carefully prepared the strategy of driving sheep into the pen and striking with one strike, preparing to completely eliminate Chu Yunfei's troops and Li Yunlong's troops.

But before he could complete the preparations, the base camp immediately started a major blood change, replacing many generals.

Even he himself is on the list of replacements.

Tada Shun will leave the North China Front sooner or later. During this period, he is unwilling to continue to command operations.

After all, even if he obtains military exploits, it will not change the outcome of his being dismissed from his position as commander.

On the contrary, if he continues to lose the battle, his future prospects will be affected if the higher authorities hold him accountable.

So even though Tanabe Moritake and Arisum Seizo came to him, Tada Shun did not take any action.

But after knowing the casualties of the 20th Puppet Division, he was angry.

By now, he has built a relatively complete blockade on the outside. With the arrival of some troops, the defense in the southeastern Shanxi area has become relatively complete.

From Pingyang City to Luzhou City, there are troops stationed by the 37th Division, the First Division of the Imperial Association Army, and the 41st Division.

In Yun County, Wenxicheng, Jiangcheng to Yangcheng and Jincheng, there are also troops of the 36th Division, the Second Division of the Imperial Association Army, and the 27th Division.

This is a double-layered encirclement and blockade to completely block the way for the Zhongtiaoshan troops to break out to the north.

Other key points are the strengthening of artillery for defense, and the puppet army's iron horse troops serving as mobile troops.

When there is a problem with the defense line, these puppet cavalry can quickly maneuver and immediately launch a blockade.

It can be said that as long as some follow-up troops arrive, Duo Tianjun can launch his own combat plan.

It's just a pity that the base camp didn't give him enough time.

"Your Excellency, Commander, how should we handle the combat situation here in Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"Should we deploy troops and focus on combat strikes in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"The troops here have won the battle, they have obtained various trophies, and their own strength may be enhanced."

"Under such circumstances, they may continue to conduct combat operations."

"The artillery positions in the Shunwangping area, as well as the positions of the 20th and 24th Divisions of the Royal Association Army in the south, may be their next targets."

"Even if we can't attack them, we still need to strengthen the defense here."

"Otherwise, if they continue their operations, we will continue to pay casualties."

Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe and Deputy Chief of Staff Seizo Arisu came to Shun Tada. With solemn expressions on their faces, they reported immediately.

"I didn't know that we would continue to be attacked here, but the number of troops we can mobilize is very limited."

"If the 21st Division is assembled now and the 33rd Division launches a combat strike, it may not be possible to achieve results."

"You have to know that Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun's troops are definitely not simple, let alone Li Yunlong's troops here."

"These three people have strong command and combat capabilities, and the combat effectiveness of their troops is very strong."

"If we launch a combat attack against them easily, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties."

"Under such circumstances, we need to mobilize enough troops to conduct combat strikes against it."

Tada Shun had a serious expression on his face. He had fought against these troops many times.

The battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was completely destroyed because of their appearance.

Otherwise, Shun Tada will definitely not be revoked from his post due to his expected military exploits.

Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizan couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Tada Shun looked at the map and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh silently.

"Your Excellency Okamura also has strong command capabilities. If he commands these troops, I believe he will eventually win."

"That being the case, there is no reason for excessive casualties in the force before his arrival."

"After all, Mr. Okamura and I are from the same period in mainland China, so we can't leave a mess for him to clean up."

"Contact the First Independent Artillery Regiment of the Imperial Association Army in the Shunwangping area and ask them to withdraw directly to Yangcheng, Jincheng."

"The troops of the 33rd Division and the 27th Division in the Shunwangping area have also withdrawn."

"The 20th Division and the 24th Division of the Imperial Association Army returned to the northern Henan area to meet up with the Sakuma Corps." Tada Shun had a serious expression on his face and directly issued the combat order.

After receiving the order, Tanabe Moritake and Arisu Seizo showed surprised expressions.

But they quickly carried out the order and immediately started communicating.

Shun Tada is two years older than Neji Okamura, but he went to the Army Artillery School for advanced studies, which delayed his admission to Army University.

He and Okamura Neji were classmates in the 25th batch of Army University. It is worth mentioning that neither of them had very good grades.

However, after graduation, the six students in the 25th Saber Team did not develop very well.

On the contrary, Tada Shun and Okamura Neji developed very well. Tada Shun was the first to hold the position of commander of the front army.

Neji Okamura was the first to be promoted to the rank of general in the 25th issue.

After careful consideration, Tada Jun did not take any action, but instead withdrew the troops that broke into Nakajo Mountain.

Obviously he did not want to continue the battle, but planned to leave these troops to Okamura Neiji to command.

In the afternoon of June [-], the Japanese and puppet troops in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain began to retreat.

They destroyed the positions they had set up, directly executed the orders of the front army headquarters, and assembled towards different positions.

By night, there were no Japanese and puppet troops here in Shunwangping.

The two puppet army divisions south of the independent detachment also evacuated towards the northern Henan region.

After Li Yunlong learned the news, he didn't have much reaction.

After all, his main reason for attacking Shunwangping was to create an artillery regiment. Secondly, Shunwangping was a great threat to the independent detachment.

Now that the puppet artillery units stationed here have withdrawn, and the nearby little devils have also left, the threat of the independent detachment naturally no longer exists.

Moreover, Li Yunlong gained a lot in the battle against the 20th Division of the puppet army.

Now that he has enough artillery troops, he doesn't care about this matter.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Chu Yunfei also arrived at the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

As for the Mountain Artillery Regiment and Guard Regiment troops, they took the opportunity to gradually move towards the west.

Chu Yu led the guard battalion and was responsible for staying here to protect the safety of Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun.

"Brother Yunfei, Brother Ziyun, thank you for your help this time."

"Without your intervention, it would be difficult for us to achieve such results."

"The conditions here are simple. Please forgive me. Come on, let's have a drink."

"There is still alcohol here. We will not get drunk today."

Li Yunlong was holding a drink and greeted warmly.

In this battle, the independent detachment had a great harvest, and they gained countless trophies.

Li Yunlong also directly raised two artillery battalions with a total of thirty artillery pieces.

Of course, Li Yunlong was actually unwilling to continue the follow-up operations. After all, the independent detachment needed enough time to digest these weapons and ammunition.

"Brother Yunlong, we are all in the army to fight the Japanese, and there is no need to be so polite in our relationship."

"If there is a need in the future, Brother Yunlong just says it's okay. As long as it's to fight the Japanese, we are bound to do it."

"We are very happy to be able to join forces to fight in Zhongtiao Mountain!"

With a calm expression, Chu Yunfei spoke directly.

He held the drink and drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Ziyun stood aside and felt a little regretful. After all, he liked the puppet army's field artillery very much.

But considering that he also got eight field cannons this time, Chen Ziyun's trip was not in vain.

After this battle, the number of artillery pieces in the mountain artillery regiment increased directly to 28.

Moreover, they also seized some weapons and ammunition, which was quite rewarding.

And this attack on the puppet troops can also deter these puppet troops and prevent them from being too arrogant.

Chen Ziyun stayed at the detachment headquarters of the independent detachment until after two o'clock in the morning. After drinking and eating, he and Chu Yunfei began to return to the division headquarters.

Li Yunlong personally sent them across the Jaap blockade before returning with the troops.

When they returned to the detachment headquarters, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were both there.

The two people looked at Li Yunlong eagerly and were about to speak.

Li Yunlong lay on the bed and fell asleep.

He knew that Ding Wei and Kong Jie must have come here for weapons and equipment, but Li Yunlong was a tough guy now and was unwilling to take out any weapons and ammunition.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong sleeping, and they did not leave. They just waited here for Li Yunlong to wake up.

Time is passing, and time flies by overnight.

At two o'clock in the afternoon on June [-], the Japanese base camp contacted the dispatched army headquarters.

After repeated discussions, they officially appointed Okamura Neiji to succeed Tada Shun as the fourth commander-in-chief of the North China Front!

After Okamura Ningji met with Tianhuang and paid a visit to the Chief of Staff and others, he immediately came to the North China region.

Before the arrival of Neji Okamura, Shun Tada was still responsible for commanding the North China Front.

Of course, he is only a transitional commander and does not have any combat power.

It was at this time that Commander Chen of the Taiyue Regional Force no longer served as the commander of the 386th Brigade.

The newly appointed Brigadier Wang is known as a madman and a fierce general, and his resume is also very experienced.

At this time, Brigadier Wang was very young, only 26 years old!

Brigadier Wang commands the four regiments of the 386th Brigade, which are still operating in the area north of Jiangcheng to carry out supporting operations on the periphery.

Li Yunlong's independent detachment is deployed for development in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Night fell, and at about eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Yunlong was still sleeping.

Before, he was pretending to sleep to avoid Ding Wei and Kong Jie. After Ding Wei and Kong Jie were gone during the day, Li Yunlong got up immediately.

He came to the station of the artillery unit and looked at the artillery pieces one after another, grinning widely and having fun.

Li Yunlong looked at the Jin orogenic cannon for a while, and for a while he looked at the Feng orogenic cannon, wishing he could hold them in his hands.

Wang Chengzhu has served as the battalion commander of the First Artillery Battalion. The battalion commander of the Second Artillery Battalion is Yang Hua, who is a professional artilleryman.

The two battalion commanders watched the mountain artillery with Li Yunlong for more than an hour, and Li Yunlong started talking about it again.

He asked Wang Chengzhu and Yang Hua to gather the combat effectiveness of the artillery units in the shortest possible time.

In addition, the artillery unit must be completely concealed and cannot be known to other units.

After staying at the artillery station for several hours, Li Yunlong came back.

As soon as night came, Li Yunlong fell asleep.

But in a daze, Li Yunlong heard a familiar voice.

He slowly opened his eyes and was about to get angry when he saw Commander Chen wearing glasses in front of him.

Li Yunlong was startled and quickly stood up to salute.

"Good boy, you are very alert."

"What are you thinking about? I'm almost laughing when I see you sleeping."

"Are you getting rich, thinking you can hide it from me, and enjoy yourself secretly?"

Commander Chen looked at Li Yunlong in front of him and asked directly.

Li Yunlong chuckled, shaking his head like a rattle.

Then he glanced at Zhao Gang, who had a helpless expression on his face.

When Li Yunlong saw the expression on Zhao Gang's face, he knew he was a bad guy!
"Commander, we have won a battle and we were just thinking of reporting it to you."

"It turned out that I was too tired and fell asleep all the time."

"You're here at the right time. I'll report to you right away. Lao Zhao, where is the weapons list? Take it out quickly."

Li Yunlong said hurriedly, and he looked towards Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang stood still, Li Yunlong glared at him and ran over.

After taking out a document, he returned to Commander Chen again and handed the document to Commander Chen.

Commander Chen took the document, looked at it, and returned it directly to Li Yunlong.

"Two artillery battalions, a total of thirty mountain cannons, you hide them."

"Now you want to use these weapons to fool me, Li Yunlong, do you think I am easy to fool?"

Commander Chen sat on the chair and asked Li Yunlong in front of him.
