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

Okamura Neji looked at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

If the main force of the 110th Division is quickly withdrawn to fight in the northern Henan region, then there will definitely be a high chance of victory.

However, the 110th Division is the absolute main force in this sweep of Jizhong, and now the sweep of Jizhong has entered a critical moment.

The Japanese troops have the absolute initiative here. As long as they continue to carry out combat operations, they will be able to completely eliminate the armed forces behind enemy lines here.

This is of great benefit to the little devils in consolidating their occupied areas.

Okamura Neji wanted to gradually eliminate the armed forces in these occupied areas and ensure absolute security in the occupied areas.

The 110th Division has withdrawn to the northern Hebei region, and the mopping up operations in the central Hebei region will be abandoned halfway.

The troops here in Jizhong have the opportunity to transfer, and they can also restore many base areas.

Okamura Neji would not like to see such a result if he wanted to deploy the 110th Division.

So it was not just the twelve howitzers that returned to the northern Henan region, but all the troops of the 110th Division.

"Yamamoto Kazuki and other troops still have certain combat capabilities. If they continue to fight, they can also obtain results."

"Even if they can't get any results, their continued fighting will definitely cause heavy damage to the enemy."

"In this way, when the 110th Division ends the Jizhong operation, they can quickly solve it when they return."

"The Jizhong mopping-up operation is very important. At such a critical time, they cannot withdraw."

"Contact Kazuki Yamamoto in my name. This is his last chance."

"If the battle in the northern Henan region cannot be handled well, then there will be no need for Yamamoto Kazuki to come back."

Okamura Neji showed an indifferent expression on his face and spoke directly.

He gave everything to Kazuki Yamamoto, and also wanted Kazuki Yamamoto to bear all the pressure.

After hearing the report, Anda Twenty-three and others immediately agreed.

The Little Japanese Front Army Headquarters began to generate electricity and directly contacted Yamamoto Kazuki.

By the next morning, Chen Ziyun once again organized troops to carry out encirclement and annihilation operations against the 18th Regiment and other remnants in Makino City.

The Second Artillery Regiment launched intensive shelling, the 358th Regiment and the 601st Regiment organized elite troops to conduct infiltration raids, while the main force responded from the periphery.

Deafening gunfire began to ring out, and the 18th Regiment was attacked. Captain Tanabe Matsutaro was very frightened.

At ten o'clock, following the coercion of Yamamoto Kazuki, Chen Ziyun arranged for the troops to stop fighting.

As for the little Japanese army in the city, the combat strength at this time was only more than a thousand.

However, the battle in Makino City came to a halt, while Li Yunlong's new regiment in Yuanyang City took the initiative to attack.

They carried out combat attacks towards the area east of the Pinghan-Hankou Railway in the northern Henan region, and tried their best to attack the garrison and puppet troops responsible for the defense of the eastern towns.

The combat effectiveness of these troops is very weak. Under the attack of the new group, they have almost no defense capabilities.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, within a few hours, new regiments attacked the city one after another.

They killed and wounded more than 800 Japanese puppet troops and captured more than a dozen villages and towns.

After receiving the report, Yamamoto Kazuki's face was gloomy.

He gritted his teeth and glanced at Makino City, and soon under his arrangement, Yan Yu was brought to the front line again.

Kazuki Yamamoto arranged for personnel to hold submachine guns and shoot directly at Yan Yu.

Bullets were fired one after another near Yan Yu, and then he took Yan Yu back to the position.

Obviously, Yamamoto Kazuki was warning Chen Ziyun, and was also invisibly putting pressure on Chen Ziyun.

It's just that Yamamoto Kazuki would never have imagined that his every move would be under Chen Ziyun's surveillance.

Chen Ziyun used the last right to use the drone awarded by the system and quickly locked the area where Yan Yu was imprisoned!

After confirming this, Chen Ziyun began to confuse.

He began to send electricity to contact Yamamoto Kazuki, saying that as long as Yamamoto Kazuki ensures Yan Yu's safety, he can guarantee that all troops will not conduct any attacks.

After Yamamoto Kazuki received the telegram, he readily agreed.

Chen Ziyun's troops and Li Yunlong's troops also stopped all operations.

But the little devil didn't know that at this time, Chen Ziyun began to formulate a combat plan, preparing to attack Yamamoto Kazuki's troops with all his strength to rescue Yan Yu!

Time is passing and the sky is getting dark.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Fang Ligong, Chief of Staff of the 201st Division, and Ouyang He, Chief of Communications Division, came directly to the front line, and they directly found Chen Ziyun.

Chu Yunfei knew about Yan Yu's capture, but he didn't dare to report it.

But the Second War Zone Commander's Department was not a free and easy place, and Yan Laoxi quickly learned about the relevant situation.

After knowing that Yan Yu was captured, Yan Laoxi was very angry.

He specially sent personnel to reprimand Chu Yunfei, and at the same time said that if Yan Yu made any mistakes, he would definitely hold Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun accountable.

Chu Yunfei was now under greater pressure, so he sent Fang Ligong over.

"After Chief Yan found out that Director Yan was captured, he was very angry and even wanted to remove all our positions."

"Commander Chen, should we stop the operations in the northern Henan region? If Director Yan has some shortcomings, we cannot bear such responsibility."

"We still try to negotiate with the little devils to see if they can release Director Yan."

"As long as their demands are not excessive, we will agree. As long as Director Yan comes back, we can also give an account to the Chief Executive Department."

After seeing Chen Ziyun, Fang Ligong showed a solemn expression on his face and spoke hurriedly.

"The First War Zone also knows about this matter, and Commander Chiang also sent a special message."

"Chief Jiang asked us to obey the arrangements of the Second War Zone Commander's Department and find a way to rescue Director Yan."

"If the Japanese army uses Director Yan to threaten the Second War Zone, the consequences will be disastrous."

"So what Commander Jiang wants is to ensure that Director Yan can come back safely even if he makes some concessions."

Ouyang He then said, Yan Yu's incident has alarmed the first and second theater commanders.

Jiang Mingsan was worried that Yan Laoxi would be blackmailed, so he joined forces with the little devil.

After all, Yan Laoxi and Xiaoguizi had some contact before, and this matter may promote their cooperation.

Yan Laoxi's request here is very simple, that is, Yan Yu was captured by Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun.

No matter what method Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun use, they must ensure Yan Yu's absolute safety.

Chen Ziyun couldn't help but frown when he heard what Fang Ligong and Ouyang He said.

He now knows a little bit about how Yan Yu was captured by the Japs.

To say that Chu Yunfei has the responsibility to guard against disadvantages is more or less justified.

But this matter has nothing to do with Chen Ziyun. He is commanding operations on the front line, so he can't care about Yan Yu.

"I have my own arrangements for this matter, so you don't have to worry."

"Chief of Staff Fang, Jincheng still needs your assistance in command. Please return to command immediately."

"Yan Yu has been captured by the Japs. If Yangcheng and Jincheng are lost, our losses will be even greater."

"You can also tell Master when you go back that I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry."

"As for the Chief's Department, don't worry about it. I will take on any subsequent responsibilities."

Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face and answered directly. When Fang Ligong heard Chen Ziyun's words, he showed a hesitant expression.

In the end, he nodded helplessly and left Makino City directly.

After Fang Ligong left, Ouyang He glanced at Chen Ziyun.

She didn't speak, but stood quietly aside.

Starting at eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun began to contact various ministries.

One after another, combat orders began to be passed to various ministries.

After receiving the order, the ministries were mobilized secretly.

As for the Little Japanese Army, Yamamoto Kazuki is also thinking.

The message from the North China Front Army Headquarters had already been sent, and Yamamoto Kazuki naturally knew that he had to bear all responsibilities.

Now in the battle in the northern Henan region, we can only win but not fail, otherwise we will not be able to save our lives, let alone the position of Captain of the Special Agent Wing.

He felt that he still had an advantage. After all, he had thousands of troops and six howitzers.

Moreover, the remnants of the 18th Regiment in Makino Castle can still conduct defensive operations.

Yamamoto Kazuki wanted to find a suitable opportunity to directly launch a battle to completely annihilate Chen Ziyun's troops.

But he didn't know that Chen Ziyun already knew Yan Yu's specific location and was preparing to launch an attack.

It’s past eleven o’clock in the evening, here in Jincheng.

Fang Ligong had returned from the northern Henan region, and he and Chu Yunfei reported the situation in detail.

"Master, Commander Chen is preparing to launch an attack. He doesn't seem to have considered the safety of Director Yan."

"Director Yan and Chief Yan...if anything happens to Director Yan, we have no way of taking responsibility."

"If Chief Yan is held accountable, I'm afraid someone will lose his head."

"You also know Commander Chen's character, and there is nothing I can do to persuade him."

"Looking at it now, the only one who can stop Commander Chen is you."

Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei with a solemn expression and said.

Chu Yunfei had a thoughtful expression on his face, and after a moment of silence, he came to the communications soldier.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei began to personally arrange power generation and contacted Chen Ziyun.

He explained in detail the situation in northern Henan and made relevant suggestions.

In Chu Yunfei's view, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops was strengthened at this time.

If Chen Ziyun forced the battle, even without Yan Yu, he would not have much chance of winning.

What's more, Yan Yu is in the hands of the devil at this time, and the troops will definitely pay heavy losses if they use rat weapons in battle.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei hopes that Chen Ziyun will think carefully to avoid greater casualties and losses.

As for the First War Zone Commander's Department and the Second War Zone Commander's Department, they also sent telegrams one after another.

Whether it is Jiang Mingsan or Yan Laoxi, they also know Chen Ziyun to some extent.

They knew Chen Ziyun's character, but Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun still didn't return their calls.

They also roughly guessed what Chen Ziyun would do, so they personally sent a message asking Chen Ziyun to be cautious.

The messages sent by the two theater commanders were somewhat implicit. After all, Chen Ziyun had made great achievements in battle.

Otherwise, if it had been anyone else, he might have been severely scolded.

After all, Chu Yunfei was scolded by Yan Laoxi.

At one o'clock in the morning on the third day, Li Chongtao and other officers arrived at Chen Ziyun's headquarters.

They looked at Chen Ziyun with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Chen Ziyun has already given them combat orders, and the troops are gradually preparing for the attack.

But they got news one after another and learned about the attitude of Chu Yunfei and the chief's department.

If someone else were to take command, they would definitely not hesitate and directly refuse to carry out combat missions.

But it was Chen Ziyun who was in command now, so they were a little worried. They didn't want to fight, and they didn't dare to go against Chen Ziyun's arrangements.

"Commander Chen, Director Yan Yu is still in the hands of the Japs. If we launch an attack, will Director Yan be in danger?"

"If Director Yan makes any mistakes, we... we may not be able to bear this responsibility."

"Although Director Yan's detailed identity has not been made public, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she and Chief Yan..."

"We are worried...Commander Chen, otherwise, we should stay put and wait and see..."

After being silent for a long time, Li Chongtao slowly spoke.

He was hesitant and stopped short of many words.

Wu Ziqiang, Shi Yuzhen, Chu Yu and other officers stood aside, looking at Chen Ziyun.

Although they didn't speak, their meaning was obvious. They also hoped that Chen Ziyun would be cautious.

"Now I give you two choices. Go back and command the troops for combat immediately."

"Or you can detain me and wait where I am to see what arrangements the commander's department will have."

"I can tell you, I don't fight unprepared."

"You just need to obey the command. I will take all the responsibility for other things."

Chen Ziyun looked at Li Chongtao and others and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Commander Chen..." Li Chongtao wanted to say something else.

But Chen Ziyun waved his hand directly and interrupted him.

Several officers looked at each other, lowered their heads and continued to remain silent.

Chen Ziyun looked at them coldly. Most of these officers were promoted by Chen Ziyun.

But they have also been following Chu Yunfei for a long time. At the critical moment, it was obvious that they were a little loose and could not fully stand with Chen Ziyun.

On the other hand, Zhou Wenbo, commander of the Second Artillery Regiment, and other artillery officers did not come here at all, but carried out Chen Ziyun's combat orders.

Chen Ziyun was not too surprised by this. He sat on the chair and looked at the time.

"Commander Chen..." At this time, Chu Yu and other captains looked at Chen Ziyun and wanted to speak.

"You have already made your choice, there is no need to say anything more."

Chen Ziyun said in a cold tone. He was not too surprised by the reaction of these officers.

However, Chen Ziyun had already secretly cultivated his own team. He knew the consequences of not having his own team in an army like the Jinsui Army.

Chen Ziyun, Li Chongtao and other officers looked at each other in the room and stopped talking to each other.

Li Chongtao and others felt that using this method, Chen Ziyun's attack could be stopped.

They felt that if Chen Ziyun continued to attack, he might offend the superiors and be punished. (End of chapter)
