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

During the period when Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to fight in Hanoi County with all their strength, the North China Front Army Headquarters continued to understand the situation on the front line.

General Commander Okamura Neiji made adjustments and deployments as the war situation changed, and the 110th Division, which served as the strategic general reserve of the North China Front in Hebei Province, was dispatched.

The 110th Division secretly entered the northern Henan area and replaced the 21st Division troops serving as defensive guards here.

The Japanese 110th Division currently has a total strength of more than 2 people. Its overall strength is very strong and it has strong combat capabilities.

Okamura Neiji deployed it in the northern Henan region, and his combat intention was very obvious.

That is, if the 210th Division and the independent detachment completely annihilate the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and other units, the 110th Division will launch an attack westward at all costs.

According to the predictions of the North China Front, even if Chen Ziyun and other troops are able to complete the annihilation operation, they will incur heavy losses.

At that time, the 110th Division launched an all-out attack, and the Yamamoto Special Agent Team and the Special Guard Team conducted coordinated operations.

Not only can they quickly carry out encirclement and annihilation operations, but they can also completely restore control of areas such as Huaiqing City in northern Henan.

Even after fighting in the northern Henan region, these troops were able to take advantage of the situation and fight to Zhongtiao Mountain, forcing the 201st Division and other troops to force a decisive battle.

In fact, the 110th Division can launch an attack now and support the [-]th Cavalry Brigade and other troops to break out.

But Okamura Neiji did not do this. It was obvious that the front army headquarters had made up its mind.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade and other units can consume Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong's elite troops as much as possible, thereby creating an annihilation fighter opportunity for the 110th Division.

However, the commanders of the First Theater and the Second Theater have obviously been informed of the relevant situation, so they quickly sent a message requesting a cessation of operations.

Chu Yunfei was also worried about the attack of the 110th Division, so when he didn't get a call back from Chen Ziyun, he specially sent Fang Ligong and others over.

After Chen Ziyun learned about this, he knew that the fighting here must stop.

Otherwise, if we continue to fight, even if we can annihilate the [-]th Cavalry Brigade and other troops, they will still suffer a lot of losses.

On the contrary, the Japanese 110th Division was able to wait for work and launch a fierce attack directly to directly eliminate the New First Regiment and other troops in the northern Henan region.

After all, not to mention the continuous fighting of these troops, their physical strength and ammunition were depleted, and their troops also suffered casualties.

Even if they are at full strength, there is still a gap between them and the 110th Division.

The current 110th Division is completely organized according to the establishment of an elite field division.

Such a division, reinforced by heavy artillery in the early stages of combat, can directly launch combat strikes in a theater.

Based on the current situation of the Northern Henan Regional Guard Regiment, the New First Regiment, the Mountain Artillery Regiment and other units, if the 110th Division were to attack with all their strength, it would be difficult for them to withstand it.

Especially if Chen Ziyun continues to fight in Hanoi County and his troops continue to be depleted, he may fall into a very passive situation.

Moreover, the battle on Zhongtiao Mountain has just ended, and the main forces of the 201st Division and the independent detachment are resting and replenishing.

If large-scale operations continue, these troops will not be able to cope.

Once these two troops in Zhongtiao Mountain are resolved, the Japanese army will have a great deal of initiative.

They can cross the river at any time to attack the troops in the first theater south of the Yellow River, and they can also attack the troops of the Shanxi-Sui Army in western Lu in a roundabout way.

Yan Laoxi and Jiang Mingsan were so anxious to issue orders to stop fighting, they were also worried that they would get burned!

At four o'clock in the morning on July 21, Chen Ziyun gradually gave up fighting against the Japanese and puppet cavalry in Hanoi County.

The second field supplementary regiment stationed in Shennong Mountain quickly moved towards the front line of Jiyuan City and Wangwu Town with the support of the first field supplementary regiment.

The guard regiment and the mountain artillery regiment were gradually approaching Huaiqing City.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Hanoi County discovered that Chen Ziyun was commanding the troops to gradually evacuate. They did not hesitate and immediately broke out.

By nine o'clock in the morning, the Japanese and puppet cavalry and other troops, together with the Yamamoto special agent team and the special garrison team, were in the Shennong Mountain area.

After the Japanese and puppet troops gathered together, they quickly moved towards the Jincheng area.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the fourth cavalry brigade and the puppet cavalry troops safely broke through to Jincheng.

However, these troops have already suffered heavy casualties.

The Major General of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, Brigade Commander Sakuma Shigemori, had no joy on his face.

Because after the evacuation to Jincheng, the order from the North China Front Army Headquarters was issued directly.

The Fourth Cavalry Brigade took a short rest in Jincheng and waited until evening to withdraw directly to the northern Shanxi area along the Tongpu Railway.

Then passing through the northern Shanxi area, they went to the Sucha area to return the cavalry group establishment.

The puppet cavalry troops came directly to Jin Province through the southeastern Shanxi region to assist the 21st Division in the defense of the occupied areas in Hebei Province.

The North China Front Army Headquarters has also issued an order to strictly keep the casualties and losses of these troops confidential and will not make any reports.

Obviously, they did not want these troops to suffer heavy casualties to affect the overall morale of the North China Front.

In particular, Okamura Neiji has just taken office as the general commander of the North China Front.

If the Fourth Cavalry Brigade and other troops suffered heavy casualties, it would inevitably have a bad impact on him.

Of course, the most important order in the message was to remove Sakuma Shigemori, commander of the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, from his post.

At the same time, the North China Front Army Headquarters has prepared to deal with Sakuma Shigemori severely to prevent various departments from continuing to attack without authorization.

At eight o'clock that evening, the North China Front Army Headquarters sent another message.

That is, with the approval of the dispatched army headquarters, Sakuma Shigemori not only dismissed the post of major general brigade commander.

At the same time, his rank of major general was revoked and he was directly incorporated into the reserve force as an ordinary soldier.

Such a punishment can be described as very severe. Of course, Okamura Neji also wanted to kill him as a warning to others.

After Sakuma Shigemori got the news, he couldn't accept it.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Sakuma Shigemori chose to commit suicide to end his sinful life.

For Sakuma Shigemori, he could barely accept it even if he was directly incorporated into the reserve force.

After all, it was very embarrassing to be enlisted in the reserves with the rank of major general, but as long as he had the chance to be reactivated, he could at least still serve as the brigade commander.

However, his rank as major general was revoked and he was assigned to the reserve force as an ordinary soldier. This was unacceptable to any Japanese officer.

Of course, it is now 41 years. If in the early days of the war, many Japanese officers would have committed suicide if they had lost the battle.

But this time, the North China Front obviously did not leave any way for Sakuma Shigemori to survive.

Speaking of which, commanding troops to fight without authorization is an old tradition in the Japanese army.

But basically as long as the battle is won, everyone will turn a blind eye and not care at all.

Even if the 33rd Division loses the battle like this, as long as they get some results, it can be said to be more or less justified.

However, the Fourth Cavalry Brigade suffered a disastrous defeat here. The Fourth Cavalry Brigade and the puppet cavalry suffered unprecedented heavy losses.

Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong captured countless weapons and ammunition.

As for the captured war horses, the two units can be put together to form a cavalry division.

Such a loss was unacceptable to the North China Front.

After Sakuma Shigemori committed suicide, the Japanese army only sent a senior staff officer to deal with it.

At the same time, discussions are ongoing here at the North China Front Army Headquarters.Deputy Chief of Staff Arisu Seizo proposed arranging the Yamamoto Special Forces and the special garrison to station in the Shennong Mountain area.

But after repeated discussions between Okamura Neji and Tanabe Moritake, they did not approve it.

Instead, they directly issued an order to withdraw the Yamamoto special forces and special defense teams directly to Jiangcheng and Jincheng.

The Japanese army directly gave way to Shennong Mountain and other areas.

By the morning of July 22, Chu Yunfei and Chief of Staff Fang Ligong came to the northern Henan region again.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun had already washed up and accompanied Chu Yunfei to Huaiqing City to meet with Li Yunlong for discussion.

After all, the two forces belong to different commands and they can fight together, but the defense zones still need to be demarcated.

At the same time, how to distribute the newly recovered towns in the northern Henan region also needs to be discussed.

On this day, Chen Ziyun accompanied Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong in constant discussions.

Li Yunlong is not stingy, and it is almost impossible to get benefits from him.

However, Li Yunlong was very supportive of Chen Ziyun's proposal to withdraw his troops to the west of Qinhe River and abandon Huaiqing City.

It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that Chu Yunfei set off to return to the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

"Old Li, there are so many places, how can we have so many troops to defend them?"

"We have three infantry regiments and one artillery regiment, stationed respectively in Zhongtiao Mountain and the northern Henan area. The strength is obviously insufficient."

"Especially here in the northern Henan region, abandon Huaiqing City and stick to Hanoi County. This is where heavy troops must be stationed for defense."

"If a small number of troops are stationed, the little devils in the northern Henan region can cross the Qin River and capture Hanoi County with a single attack."

After Chen Ziyun and his party left, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and asked with a puzzled expression on his face.

After discussions between the two parties, Zhongtiao Mountain and the northern Henan area were divided into two.

The defense here in Zhongtiao Mountain takes Yuanqu City and Hengling Pass as the dividing point. The east side belongs to the independent detachment, and the west side belongs to the 201st Division.

The independent detachment maintained the defense of Lishan and Jichengshan, and also added an area of ​​​​Wangwushan.

"Detachment leader, what the official said is right. Even though the new regiment is a strengthened regiment, it is obviously insufficient in strength."

"Hanoi County and Jiyuan City alone need a new regiment to defend. It will definitely not work if it is replaced by other troops."

"The 201st Division has strong soldiers and horses, why not give them more zone defense."

Deputy leader Xing Zhiguo also looked at Li Yunlong with confusion on his face and said.

"In Hanoi County, Henan Province, Shennong Mountain is north of Jiyuan City, but east of Wangwu Mountain. This is the rear of our detachment."

"We are not here to defend, and we are still counting on the 201st Division to defend. Then we have to look at their faces."

"What's more, we control Hanoi County and Jiyuan City, so we can get in touch with the guerrilla forces in the east and become completely integrated."

"You guys, you have to look forward. The New Regiment originally had only three battalions with more than 2000 troops, but now it has seven battalions with more than 5000 troops."

"Then we will develop eight or nine battalions, not to mention the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. They will also develop several battalions."

"It's so stupid. We only have three divisions, but now we have more troops than three armies."

"Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun have more than a dozen regiments in the 201st Division."

"As long as there are weapons and soldiers, it is not easy to organize troops."

Li Yunlong looked unconcerned. He looked at the map and explained directly.

In the northern Henan region, Wangwu Town and Shaoyuan Town belong to the common defense area.

In Hanoi County, Jiyuan City is defended by an independent detachment; Mengcheng and Wencheng in the south are defended by the 201st Division.

Li Yunlong now has great ambitions and is ready to show off his talents.

Moreover, he is also foresighted and is ready to unite with the guerrilla forces in the northern Henan region to gradually develop and grow.

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo looked at each other, and then they knew what Li Yunlong was thinking.

After Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei left Huaiqing City, they came to the Hanoi County area.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong had a conversation with Chen Ziyun, and the two returned to the Zhongtiao Mountain Division Headquarters.

For the defense here in the northern Henan region, Chu Yunfei left it to Chen Ziyun to arrange the deployment.

In the following time, the new regiment took the lead in abandoning Huaiqing City and retreated to Hanoi County.

At the same time, Li Yunlong began to make deployment arrangements, and various units of the independent detachment were stationed in different areas.

Of course, here in the northern Henan region, the new regiment is responsible for the defense of Hanoi County and other areas.

In addition, Chen Ziyun also made arrangements and deployments. Three field supplementary regiments, attached to the mountain artillery regiment, were deployed for regional defense in Wencheng and Mengcheng.

Until the end of July, various ministries were stationed in different areas.

This battle was officially declared over.

As various units were stationed in different areas, the 201st Division and independent detachments began to undergo larger reorganizations.

After all, they have seized a lot of weapons and ammunition, and they have also successively added different numbers of soldiers.

On August [-], Chen Ziyun received the message from Chu Yunfei, and he began to return to the division headquarters in Zhongtiao Mountain.

"Commander Chen, congratulations."

"Hehehe, Commander Chen, you are in for a treat this time."

"Commander Chen, something good is about to happen to you this time."

When Chen Ziyun arrived at the division headquarters, it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

When the division staff saw Chen Ziyun, they all saluted and said.

Chen Ziyun had a curious expression on his face. When he came to the room, he saw Chu Yunfei talking to a woman wearing a long skirt.

The woman had wavy hair and was taking notes with a pen and paper while talking to Chu Yunfei.

She was carrying a camera. When Chen Ziyun saw it, he immediately realized that she was a female reporter.

After looking at it carefully, Chen Ziyun finally recognized it.

This is the female reporter Liu Shiyin who interviewed Chu Yunfei in the original drama!

"Ziyun, you're here, let me introduce you."

"This is reporter Liu Shiyin who came with the capital, and this is our 201st Division Infantry Artillery Commander Chen Ziyun."

After Chu Yunfei saw Chen Ziyun, he immediately came over and introduced both parties.

Liu Shiyin stretched out her right hand and shook hands with Chen Ziyun, looking at Chen Ziyun with a curious expression on her face.

"Hello, Reporter Liu." Chen Ziyun said very politely.

He was born in two generations and his observation skills were not weak. He could tell that Chu Yunfei and Liu Shiyin seemed to have a good relationship. (End of chapter)
