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

Li Yunlong sent a message to the 201st Division this time, and the content was very simple.

As the Japanese army gathers troops to launch mopping up operations in the northern Hebei region, other departments of the Eighth Route Army must carry out supporting operations.

Li Yunlong's independent detachment has also received combat orders.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that the specifications of Li Yunlong's independent detachment have been improved at this time.

Because the 386th Brigade, which was originally stationed in Zijin Mountain north of Jiangcheng, is now gradually withdrawing to the north, and they have begun to station in Taiyue Mountain.

Commander Chen completely handed over Zhongtiao Mountain and the area north of Zhongtiao Mountain to Li Yunlong's independent detachment.

Li Yunlong also has the right to mobilize the guerrillas in several counties and the militia in each village.

Moreover, the command of several county brigades secretly developed in northern Henan was also given to Li Yunlong.

Of course, if Li Yunlong hadn't always been rewarded and guaranteed to get into trouble, then now Li Yunlong could at least cause trouble with the commander.

Commander Chen also had some concerns. He expanded Li Yunlong's command authority but did not get a promotion in his position. He was worried that Li Yunlong would not be able to hold him back and would continue to cause trouble.

For Li Yunlong, he was also quite depressed because after the battle, he received calls from all parties.

Commander Chen, the division commander, and the boss of the headquarters all called one after another.

Li Yunlong was saying congratulations on getting rich, but he had to hand over a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Although the artillery battalion of the New Regiment was retained, its size was reduced.

After all, the Eighth Route Army has strict regulations. Let alone Li Yunlong, even if he has interests in mind, he must obey orders and follow arrangements.

At this time, the overall strength of the three regiments of the independent detachment was relatively average, and they were reorganized.

The New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, are independent regiments. Each regiment is subordinate to four infantry battalions, directly subordinate to an artillery battalion, and a special agent company.

The infantry battalion still maintains three infantry companies and one machine gun company.

Whether it is the artillery battalion directly under the regiment or the artillery regiment of the independent detachment, they have all been reorganized, and the number of artillery has been significantly reduced.

The independent detachment won the battle this time, and Li Yunlong was also praised by his superiors.

All the command rights that should be given to him were given to him, but all the spoils would definitely not stay in the independent detachment.

The other weapons and equipment accumulated by Lao Li were either given to Commander Chen's Taiyue regional troops, or to the division commander 129th Division.

As for the artillery, it is naturally given to the headquarters.

If Commander Chen and Commander Liu hadn't been merciful, I'm afraid the independent detachment wouldn't even have an artillery regiment.

Of course, the independent detachment maintains tens of thousands of troops and has relatively sophisticated weapons and equipment, but they have relatively arduous tasks.

The headquarters here requires them to develop based on Zhongtiao Mountain and gradually establish Zhongtiao Mountain as a base.

And gradually developed towards southern Shanxi, thus establishing contact with Commander Chen's Taiyue regional troops.

In addition, they also need to cooperate with the 129th Division in the Taihang Mountains to gradually penetrate into the northern Henan region, thereby establishing armed forces behind enemy lines in the northern Henan region.

For Lao Li, this time it was no loss or gain.

Even if there is no mopping up station in the northern Hebei region, Li Yunlong is wondering when to launch combat operations again.

After all, after the 386th Brigade withdrew from Zijin Mountain in the north of Jiangcheng, the place was relatively empty. Li Yunlong was preparing to send troops to station here for guerrilla warfare.

Commander Chen also greeted Li Yunlong and hoped that Ding Wei could lead the New Second Regiment to develop there.

There is no doubt about Ding Wei's ability, and he is fully capable of taking charge on his own.

As the mopping up operations in the northern Hebei region began, the independent detachment also received orders to support the operations.

Commander Chen asked Li Yunlong's independent detachment to gradually penetrate northward and launch a small-scale guerrilla attack operation.

At the same time, during this battle, we tried our best to cover the transfer of the New Second Regiment to Zijin Mountain for development.

After Li Yunlong received the order, he directly discussed it with Ding Wei and Kong Jie. The Iron Triangle and others studied it repeatedly and finally decided to contact the 201st Division.

After all, part of their troops is in the northern Henan region, and part is in Zhongtiao Mountain.

If they fight alone, they will inevitably be unable to fight alone. If they have the support of the 201st Division, there will definitely be no problem.

Li Yunlong's message directly explained the situation and wanted to see if Chu Yunfei had any intention to fight.

Even if Chu Yunfei is unwilling to send troops to fight, Li Yunlong hopes that the 201st Division will assume as many defense tasks as possible.

After Ouyang He reported with the telegram, Chu Yunfei did not immediately express his position. He stood silent in front of the map.

Fang Ligong looked at the map for a while and looked outside for a while without saying anything.

Chen Ziyun simply sat on the chair, holding a tea cup and drinking water slowly, without saying a word.

If it weren't for Ouyang He, they would definitely speak freely.

But Ouyang He was sent by the capital, and if he expressed his stance at this time, he would obviously be caught in pigtails.

Even if Chen Ziyun knew Ouyang He's hidden identity, he would not be the first to do so at this time.

"Commander Chu, Chief of Staff Fang, Commander Chen, how should we reply to this message, or should we simply ignore it?"

There was silence in the division room. Ouyang He finally broke the silence. She looked at Chu Yunfei and others and said.

When Chu Yunfei heard Ouyang He's voice, he laughed directly without making a direct statement.

As for Fang Ligong, he would talk about things now and then, but he didn't talk about the business anyway.

Ouyang He gradually realized something. She saluted Chu Yunfei and others, and then walked out directly.

After Ouyang He left, Chen Ziyun and others started discussing.

The independent detachment is willing to attack towards the north, which coincides with the 201st Division's combat ideas.

Chu Yunfei has a sense of right and wrong, and he knows very well that the main enemy now is the Japanese army.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei has always been very supportive of jointly fighting the Japanese.

After several battles, he was also very willing to join forces with Li Yunlong.

Even Fang's attitude towards meritorious service has changed because of this, and he also believes that this is a matter of mutual benefit.

The three people discussed it and finally decided to join the independent detachment to fight together.

Chen Ziyun will be responsible for commanding the battle this time, so he must come forward.

After the discussion, Chu Yunfei did not arrange for Ouyang He to call back.

Chen Ziyun began to go to Xicheng Mountain in person and went directly to Li Yunlong and others to meet and discuss.

Time was passing, and on the afternoon of August 21, the fierce fighting in the northern Hebei region continued.

The strengthened independent mixed first, the overall performance of the [-]th Brigade appeared.

The 21st Division of the Combat Field Division, with the cooperation of these two brigades, has also continued to make progress.

Arisu Seizo, the deputy chief of staff of the front army, was personally responsible for providing intelligence. Several large-scale raids by the Japanese army produced results.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the North China Front Army Headquarters issued a combat order.

Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team was stationed in the Jiangcheng area and was responsible for guiding the First Division of the Imperial Association Army in combat.

Kojima Shinko's special operations regiment was stationed in the Jincheng area and was responsible for guiding the Second Division of the Royal Association Army in operations.The little Japanese deployed two puppet army divisions and two Japanese special regiments on the line from Jiangcheng to Jincheng.

Okamura Neiji gave them only one task, which was to contain the 201st Division on Nakatiao Mountain, and the independent detachment extended northward.

Okamura Neiji temporarily adopted a siege strategy for these two troops.

He wanted to wait until the armed forces behind enemy lines were almost wiped out, and then assemble his troops to launch a combat attack against them.

For this reason, in the northern Henan region, the 110th Division of the North China Front's strategic reserve continues to enter a state of combat readiness.

As long as they discover an abnormal situation, the Japanese troops will advance to the area west of Qinhe River to fight at any time.

At this time, whether it is the special agent wing or the special operations wing, the overall strength is very strong.

They have replenished a lot of soldiers, and their weapons and equipment have also received a series of priority additions. Now these two regiments are very powerful.

In particular, Kazuki Yamamoto's special agent team has a total strength of about 4000 people. It can be said that they are armed to the teeth, and they are all elite soldiers.

The special agent team soon arrived at Jiangcheng, and Yamamoto Kazuki inspected the situation in the Jiangcheng area in detail.

At three o'clock that afternoon, the special agent wing began to organize troops to attack Purple Mountain.

The Special Agent Regiment dispatched 1000 troops, and the First Division of the Royal Association Army dispatched a regiment of more than 2000 troops to assist in the battle.

When the fighting lasted until after five o'clock, the Japanese and puppet troops captured Purple Mountain and repulsed the small force of the 386th Brigade here.

After capturing the Purple Mountain, Kazuki Yamamoto took Huang Daofeng, the commander of the first division of the puppet army, to the Purple Mountain.

They stood on the top of the highest mountain, raised their telescopes, and looked towards the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

"I really didn't expect that the original 358th Regiment, the new regiment, would develop to such an extent."

"They are obviously a serious threat to our North China Front Army. If they cannot be completely annihilated, there will be endless troubles."

"In battle after battle, they dealt us heavy blows, and all the ministries suffered defeat at their hands."

"It's really incredible that such an army could be the Jinsui Army, coming from Tubal Road."

Yamamoto Kazuki looked at Nakajoyama for a while and said with an emotional expression on his face.

Huang Daofeng stood aside and was very surprised when he heard these words.

In the early years, when he was in the Northwest Army, he also had battles with the Jinsui Army.

He also knew the situation of the Jinsui Army. Especially after the start of all-out operations, the Jinsui Army was rarely able to fight tough battles.

Especially in the past two years, Yan Laoxi simply avoided fighting in western Shanxi.

However, Chen Ziyun stirred up a thousand waves with one stone in Cangyunling, and it has been unstoppable since then.

Up to now, they have been winning battles one after another, and the little devils they fought were frightened by the news.

The dispatch of three divisions to deal with the 201st Division, an independent detachment, was unprecedented in Japanese military operations.

What's even more frightening is that none of these three divisions have the strength to win!

Of course, Huang Daofeng could only think about these thoughts, and naturally he could not speak them out.

"Captain Yamamoto, with the strength of your troops, I believe that as long as you fight with all your strength, you will be able to defeat them."

"Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun's 201st Division will be completely eliminated by the imperial army sooner or later. They are just a temporary glory."

"Back then, Wei Junru had 10,000+ troops operating in Zhongtiao Mountain for many years, but they were eventually defeated."

"This small amount of troops is nothing to worry about. I believe Taijun will be able to deal with them sooner or later."

Huang Daofeng looked at Yamamoto Kazuki and said with a complimentary expression on his face.

Yamamoto Kazuki's expression did not change at all. He glanced at Huangdaofeng and shook his head slightly.

"Commander Huang, starting today, your troops will receive our training to enhance their combat effectiveness."

"Many parties now attach great importance to you. Over at Jinling, the front army headquarters attaches great importance to your troops."

"As long as you can perform well, the future is limitless. Even we may have to obey your orders in the future."

"Such an opportunity is in front of you. Mr. Huang must not miss it."

Yamamoto Kazuki said directly that this time the special agent team came, it was natural to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the puppet troops.

Although the First and Second Divisions of the puppet army also suffered different casualties, their performance was much better than that of other puppet armies.

In addition, Jinling deliberately set them up as role models, so the two divisions Huang Daofeng and Xu Chengpu were given special attention.

Yamamoto Kazuki and Kojima Nobuhiro came with their troops. In addition to strengthening the defense here, they completely blocked Mount Nakajo.

The second task is to strengthen the combat effectiveness of these two divisions so that they can perform better.

As long as the strength of these puppet troops increases, there will naturally be only benefits and no harm to the little devils.

"Hey, Captain Yamamoto, please rest assured, we will not let you down."

"Our troops have long hoped to be trained by Taijun himself to enhance their combat effectiveness."

"I believe that with Taijun's personal training, our combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved."

"In the future, we will definitely become Taijun's vanguard and help Taijun to deal with any enemies."

Huang Daofeng immediately stood up straight and saluted quickly.

Yamamoto Kazuki suppressed the expression of disgust in his heart and just nodded. He had no good impression of people like Huang Daofeng.

It's just that Huang Daofeng is still valuable to him, so Yamamoto Kazuki can only endure it.

The defenses of Jiangcheng and Jincheng Yangcheng have been strengthened, and they are also the two strongest combat regiments of the Little Devils.

At this time, it was too far away in Jin Province, where the First Army Headquarters was.

Lieutenant General Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu and Major General Chief of Staff Hanatani Masaru showed smiles on their faces.

The captain of the second section took a document and reported directly to them.

The second section of the Japanese military headquarters usually has the same organization, which is responsible for intelligence.

"Already identified?"

"Isn't he pretending to surrender?"

"Such a thing has never happened before. Are you sure there is no problem?"

"Once such information is reported, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yoshio Iwamatsu read the document carefully. He gradually put away his smile and asked with a serious expression.

"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, there is absolutely no problem with this information."

"This is a secret arrest conducted by the special agent team in cooperation with us. The entire process is completely confidential."

"No one knows the news, and we have repeatedly confirmed that there will be no mistakes."

The captain of the second section said with determination on his face. (End of chapter)
