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

The 201st Division is now well-known, and everyone has ideas about this unit.

Especially here in the capital, Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are both disciples of the emperor, and they think they can win them over.

After Wei Junru was transferred out of the first theater, the capital here believed that they needed to place their own people in the 201st Division.

Therefore, the capital specially arranged for reporters to interview Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun to publicize their results.

Of course, after the reporter's interview is over, the relevant publicity content will definitely increase the coverage of Chu Yunfei's status as a student at Huangpu College and Chen Ziyun's Army Artillery College.

In this way, the 201st Division can be gradually classified into direct units, giving them a certain sense of belonging.

In addition, in order to be able to understand the situation of the 201st Division at any time, it is also to be able to win over Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun at any time.

The capital specially selected officers with experience in the attendant's office to serve as the director of the Communications Department of the 201st Division.

Jiang Mingsan, commander of the First Theater Command, knew all these things.

Of course, he also knew that he had made a series of arrangements and obviously valued the 201st Division very much.

And his previous neglect of fighting here in Zhongtiao Mountain obviously made the capital side dissatisfied.

What Jiang Mingsan can do now is try to make up for his mistakes.

After all, he knew very well that he was the principal of the capital. If he lost trust in a person, it would be difficult to get a chance to turn around.

"Chief of Staff Guo, please contact the 201st Division and ask them what needs they have."

"Tell Commander Chu Yunfei and Commander Chen Ziyun that the First Theater Command will provide strong support to them as before."

"I just came to the first combat zone and don't understand the situation. If I treat them poorly, I ask them to forgive me."

"In addition, a group of strong men with relatively good physical fitness will be selected to supplement the 201 Division."

"I didn't expect that the committee would pay so much attention to them."

"However, with the strength that the 201st Division has shown now, it is not difficult to see that they deserve such attention."

"I think their status in the hearts of the committee members is no weaker than that of the 200th Division back then."

Jiang Mingsan looked at Chief of Staff Guo Jiqiao beside him and said with a serious expression on his face.

The 200th Division was formerly the Armored Corps (regiment-level armored force), and was subsequently expanded to the 200th Division.

The 200 Division has been supplemented by a large number of sophisticated weapons, with a total strength of more than 2, and a large number of directly affiliated troops.

Subsequently, the 200 Division was expanded into the Fifth Army, which had [-] to [-] troops.

After obtaining a large number of Soviet-made weapons, four strategic counterattack armies were organized. The Fifth Army and the 74th Army were selected instead of the veteran 18th Army.

Jiang Mingsan knew very well that the main reason why the Fifth Army was treated like this was because of its good weapons and equipment.

The 201st Division is now receiving special attention from its companions. The reason is very simple. This unit can fight well and achieve amazing results one after another.

As long as they expand, their combat effectiveness will not be weaker than any strategic counterattack force.

Even the role they played in Zhongtiao Mountain at this time was beyond the capabilities of other strategic counterattack armies.

"Yes, Sir Jiang." Guo Jiqiao agreed immediately.

At this time, at the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield, the battle between the two armies was still continuing.

Chen Ming commanded the guard battalion, machine gun battalion, combat artillery battalion, and Zhang Dabiao's first battalion to continue the attack.

Li Yang commanded the mountain artillery regiment to provide repeated support, and a large number of artillery shells continued to be fired towards Hanoi County.

The Japanese and puppet cavalry troops suffered casualties one after another, and they were beaten in a very embarrassed manner.

And here in Zhongtiao Mountain, the Yamamoto special agent team raided Lishan, causing certain casualties to the New Second Regiment.

But Liang Ruxian's third brigade rushed over to help, and Lishan stationed three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a mountain artillery battalion.

With such a strong force deployed to defend, Yamamoto's special agent team naturally had no choice.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening on July [-], Yamamoto Kazuki commanded the troops to move from Lishan.

Liang Ruxian's third brigade organized troops to pursue, but they were attacked by Yamamoto's special team and were forced to withdraw to Lishan for defense.

With the cover of night, Yamamoto Kazuki began to command the troops to advance rapidly towards Shennong Mountain, preparing to directly meet the troops such as the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to break through.

At this time, the Japanese and puppet cavalry units in Hanoi County suffered increasing losses after continuous combat attacks.

Many seriously injured people died one after another because they could not receive treatment. The weather in July gradually became scorching.

The entire Hanoi County area is full of stench, and bones can be seen everywhere in the city.

Sakuma Shigemori, the major general commander of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, is now extremely desperate.

Originally, he thought that he would achieve results in this battle and thus retain his position as brigade commander.

But what he never dreamed of was that his troops would suffer such a blow and suffer heavy casualties.

He knew very well that in the current situation, even if he led his troops to break out, let alone retaining his position as brigade commander, it was still unknown whether he could survive!
After all, the 33rd Division and other units also lost the battle and suffered a certain amount of casualties, but they also achieved some results.

On the contrary, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade had no results at all, and they made Okamura Neji very embarrassed.

After all, Okamura Neji had just taken office, and Sakuma Shigemori had lost troops and generals one after another.

He was directly responsible for the annihilation of the 20th, 21st and 24th Divisions of the Imperial Association Army.

Whether the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the two puppet cavalrymen were severely damaged, or he should bear the responsibility.

With such a responsibility, even shooting him would be considered a light punishment.

"Tubal Road's ability to develop troops is really terrifying. In a short period of time, they can quickly expand."

"What's even more frightening is that they can use the captured weapons and equipment to cause heavy losses to us."

"What kind of spirit is this that gives them such abilities!"

"There is also Chen Ziyun of the Jinsui Army. The guard regiment he trained is more powerful than the Yamamoto special agent team."

"You have to know that the previous Jinsui Army troops were vulnerable. What exactly did he do that will completely change the Jinsui Army."

"Chen Ziyun is proficient in various tactics and is good at catching subtle fighter opportunities, thus posing a fatal threat to us."

"He seems to know us well and knows how to hit us in the most effective way."

"Draw a turtle and insult His Majesty. This is simply like a child playing house."

"But it happened to be very effective for us, so we had to attack..."

"They... they are simply our nemesis... we... we no longer have the ability to win battles repeatedly in the past."

In Hanoi County, in a semi-underground position, this is where the brigade headquarters of the Fourth Cavalry Brigade is located.

The continuous shelling by the mountain artillery regiment left the Japanese and puppet troops unable to do anything.

At first, their cavalry artillery regiment was able to counterattack, but as the battle continued, they had no way to supplement it.

The Cavalry Artillery Regiment no longer has many artillery shells, and they must continue to preserve their strength in order to cope with subsequent operations.

So now the Little Japanese artillery can only let the mountain artillery regiment carry out attacks and cannot fight back.The Japanese and puppet troops were all on tenterhooks because they didn't know when the artillery shells would hit.

As the commander of the Japanese Major General Brigade, Sakuma Shigemori was naturally under heavy protection, and they specially built a semi-underground position.

However, in the previous battle, Sakuma Shigemori was injured by artillery fire, and now he was lying on the camp bed, listless.

Especially the news of losses that came one after another made him even more disheartened. Sakuma Shigemori was almost always in a dying state.

At this time, he looked at the staff of the brigade headquarters and said with emotion on his face.

Before the Japanese and puppet cavalry launched their operations, Sakuma Shigemori did not take the 201st Division, the independent detachment, seriously.

He believed that these two troops had suffered heavy casualties and were simply unable to defend the northern Henan region.

But now the battle has left him completely desperate.

In his opinion, Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun were completely invincible.

If there was a choice of regret medicine in the world, Sakuma Shigemori would definitely choose to give up attacking and stick to defense with all his strength.

It's a pity that no matter how much he regrets now, time will never go back.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, we still have thousands of troops, as well as certain artillery and armored vehicles."

"In addition, each ministry has preserved combat ammunition, and we can continue to carry out combat operations."

"And the front army headquarters has quickly mobilized troops to rush over for reinforcements. The Yamamoto special agent team and the special garrison team have arrived."

"Both units are elite units with strong combat capabilities."

"The special defense team has captured Mantou Mountain to the west of Shennong Mountain, and the Yamamoto special agent team has also launched an attack on Lishan."

"I believe that with their support, our troops can break out."

Lieutenant Colonel Chief of Staff looked at Sakuma Shigemori in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

Sakuma Shigemori took a deep breath and glanced at the chief of staff.

Immediately afterwards, he arranged for the communications troops to immediately generate electricity and contact the Yamamoto special agent team and the special defense team.

Sakuma Shigemori communicated with Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuhiro to prepare to organize troops for a breakout.

He knew that these two forces could fight, but he believed that Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong must have a response strategy.

So he wanted to break out in time to ensure that the troops would not suffer a devastating blow.

Of course, Sakuma Shigemori himself would not break out at this time, because he knew that even if he survived, he would not be able to bear all the responsibilities.

He wanted to personally command the puppet troops and cover the little Japanese troops in their breakout.

At midnight, Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong met.

Li Yunlong had a serious expression on his face because he was in big trouble here.

The 21st Infantry Division quickly arrived in the northern Henan region after a rapid march.

As for the 35th Division that was originally in the northern Henan area, they were all transferred to the Yellow River NA area in Henan Province.

The 35th Division assembled in eastern Henan specifically to deal with the troops in the first theater.

After the 21st Division arrived in Makino City and other areas, they quickly began to deploy troops and generals.

A reinforced regiment of 5000 troops was deployed directly to the east of Huaiqing City, and the little devils also began to organize troops to conduct test attacks.

Li Yunlong's new regiment is currently under considerable pressure. There are more than 3000 special garrison troops on Mantou Mountain in the highlands to their north.

To the east of them was the 21-man troops of the 5000st Division, which could be said to be under attack from both sides. The two groups of little devils came over and put a lot of pressure on the new regiment.

Li Yunlong is currently adopting a defensive strategy and stationing his troops here in Huaiqing City, without taking the initiative to launch an attack.

"Brother Ziyun, the little devil is really serious this time. All the troops that can be mobilized have been mobilized."

"They are very determined to help the Japs break out. If we force a decisive battle, we will definitely suffer."

"Brother Ziyun, I think we should seize Hanoi County as much as possible and drive away the Japanese and puppet troops here to ensure control of these towns."

"Otherwise, if the decisive battle continues here, it may be difficult for us to escape intact."

After seeing Chen Ziyun, Li Yunlong said with a serious expression on his face.

The battle has progressed so far, and Li Yunlong has gained enough loot. He is very shrewd.

If the Japanese and puppet cavalry were lost dogs, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to annihilate them.

But the situation was obviously different. Li Yunlong wanted to seize the town and drive away the Japanese and puppet cavalry troops.

"Brother Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao's first battalion has returned to your establishment. At the same time, I am deploying a field supplementary regiment to accompany your defense."

"You just need to contain the little Japs near Huaiqing City, and leave the rest to me."

"Don't worry, I will stop here as soon as possible to ensure that I can control Huaiqing City and other towns."

Chen Ziyun looked at Li Yunlong in front of him and said directly.

Chu Yunfei dispatched three field supplementary regiments. With these troops, Chen Ziyun was confident.

Although there is pressure on Li Yunlong's side, the new regiment has 5000 troops and is equipped with a field supplementary regiment of more than 2000 people. There will definitely be no problem in holding on.

Chen Ziyun planned to transfer Liang Guoping's third field supplementary regiment to strengthen the defense here in Huaiqing City.

Chen Ziyun wants to control the two field supplementary regiments of Sun Yu and Lin Zhiqiang for combat.

Among them, Lin Zhiqiang's second field supplementary regiment has now begun to move towards Shennong Mountain for defense to ensure the safety of the mountain artillery regiment and other rear areas.

Sun Yu supplemented the first regiment in the field, Li Yangshan Artillery Regiment, and Zhang Wu Guard Regiment were commanded by Chen Ziyun to fight here in Hanoi County.

Regarding the Japanese and puppet cavalry units in Hanoi County, Chen Ming must completely annihilate them.

However, there are still a certain number of Japanese and puppet troops here, so he needs to control the intensity of the attack.

Otherwise, if the Japanese and puppet troops are pushed into a hurry and they jump over the wall to start a decisive battle, the gain will outweigh the loss.

After all, they still have a certain number of cavalry, armor and artillery units.

"Hehehe, if that's the case, then I'll leave this place to your brother Ziyun."

"Don't worry, our new regiment is in Huaiqing City to ensure that the little devils there will not affect your fight here."

"Brother Ziyun, it seems that you have a big appetite this time, and you are ready to completely eat this Japanese and puppet army."

"With a field replenishment regiment, there is no need for the first battalion to come back. Zhang Dabiao will stay with you."

"Zhang Dabiao's first battalion can still play a certain role."

Li Yunlong laughed, and he soon knew that Chen Ziyun was going to fight a war of annihilation.

Since we are going to fight a war of annihilation, there is also a field supplementary group that can strengthen the defense here in Huaiqing City.

Zhang Dabiao's first battalion and Li Yunlong will definitely stay here to continue fighting. (End of chapter)
