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

Chen Ziyun was worried that Zhou Wenbo, the commander of the Second Artillery Regiment, and Zhang Wu, the commander of the Cavalry Regiment, would be outed, so he wanted to transfer them to his command.

Regarding this, Guo Zaiyang, Chief of Staff of the Second Theater Zone, agreed directly without any hesitation.

Because of Guo Zaiyang's report, the Second War Zone Commander's Department responded quickly.

Yan Laoxi now attaches great importance to Chen Ziyun, more so than Chu Yunfei.

So Yan Laoxi agreed to this small request without any hesitation.

By the end of June, a series of telegrams were sent from the headquarters of the First and Second Theater Commands.

They were the restructured 201st Division, a subordinate unit of the Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command.

The 201st Division is mainly stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain and here in the northern Henan region.

Its subordinate units include the first brigade, the second brigade, and the third brigade. Directly under it are the third artillery regiment, the guard regiment, the field supplementary regiment, and the baggage regiment.

Division Commander Chu Yunfei, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong, and Deputy Division Commander Hao Shiwen.

Chen Ziyun's position as infantry artillery commander of the 201st Division was directly canceled and he no longer holds the concurrent position.

But Chen Ziyun was promoted and served as the artillery commander of the second theater and concurrently as the guerrilla commander of Zhongtiao Mountain.

The Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command has two guerrilla brigades under it, two artillery regiments and one cavalry regiment.

Overall, the 201st Division seems to have more troops. In fact, the troops of both sides are almost the same.

The two guerrilla brigades are organized into three regiments, with each brigade having three infantry regiments.

Of course, among these infantry regiments, there are four guerrilla regiments, and two field supplementary regiments, the 606th Regiment and the 607th Regiment.

The First Guerrilla Brigade is also a puppet army anyway, and its brigade commander is Xu Chengpu.

There is currently no suitable candidate for the brigade commander of the Second Guerrilla Brigade, so Chen Ziyun is managing it on his behalf.

Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei officially began to separate, but Chen Ziyun's troops still stationed in Yangcheng, Jincheng for defense to ensure the core position of Zhongtiao Mountain.

In the following time, Chen Ziyun was mainly responsible for recovering from his injuries. The little devil's injury caused him a lot of damage.

Even now he can't raise his arms and is restricted from doing many things.

Chen Ziyun left the responsibility for troop training to the heads of each regiment.

He visits various ministries from time to time to inspect the training results of each regiment.

Of course, after this battle, the seizures were quite generous.

Chu Yunfei also made a concession here, and all the spoils of war were handed over to Chen Ziyun's troops, which allowed Chen Ziyun's troops to be well supplemented.

Without these trophies, it would be difficult for their several regiments to recover.

By early July, the fighting here in Hebei Province was also over.

The Xiaojiazi 110th Division and other units achieved significant results one after another, but various units operating behind enemy lines still suffered heavy casualties.

Many base areas were directly captured, and the little devils launched a large-scale three-guang strategy in the base areas.

They not only attack combat troops, but also attack anyone who assists combat troops behind enemy lines, even innocent people.

For a while, people in the area occupied by the Japs were in panic.

The combat troops behind enemy lines are also subject to great restrictions. This restriction not only reduces their combat troops, but also the base areas are constantly oppressed.

A large number of people who had previously supported them did not dare to support them because they were worried about being retaliated by the little devils.

In order to better control the weakly managed villages, the Japanese troops supported a large number of traitors and established so-called maintenance committees.

These maintenance meetings can report the situation at any time, allowing the little Japanese troops to take action quickly.

And here in the northern Henan region, the 110th Infantry Division began to withdraw.

The 110th Division still achieved greater results in the Jizhong region this time, but its subordinate 110th Regiment suffered a devastating blow in the northern Hebei region.

A total of twelve precious howitzers from the Fourth Battalion of the Field Artillery Regiment were either destroyed or captured.

Someone must be responsible for such a heavy loss.

By July 5th, the North China Front still maintained a tacit understanding.

They planned to push out Yanagawa Shinichi, the major general commander of the 110th Infantry Regiment under the 110th Division, and directly become the scapegoat for this northern Henan regional battle.

However, after the North China Front reported the report, neither the dispatched army headquarters nor the base camp accepted the report.

A telegram was sent directly from the base camp, severely reprimanding Neji Okamura.

Here at the dispatched army headquarters, the application to reorganize the 110th Regiment was directly rejected.

Okamura Neiji and others gradually realized that this battle in the northern Henan region was not something that a major general commander could undertake.

On July 110, Lieutenant General Mamoru Iinuma, the commander of the th Division, was dismissed from his position as division commander and was directly assigned to the reserve force.

Obviously, Iinuma Mamoru became a scapegoat. After all, after he commanded the troops to enter Ji Province, the battle in the northern Henan region had nothing to do with him.

Yanagawa Shinichi once stayed in the northern Henan region to command operations, but Iinuma Mamoru never took command after he went to Hebei Province.

But after all, the 110th Regiment is its subordinate unit. As the commander of the Lieutenant General's Division, it is natural for him to take the blame.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we are reorganizing the 110th Regiment and supplementing the Cavalry Regiment, but the dispatched army headquarters still has not approved it."

"This matter does not seem to be decided by His Excellency Commander-in-Chief Shunroku Hata. This seems to be the intention of the base camp."

"Your Excellency, Commander, we also made recommendations to the commander of the other 110th Division, but the base camp ignored them at all."

Iinuma Mamoru became the scapegoat and was dismissed from his post, but the Japanese Army Expeditionary Force Headquarters did not agree to supplement the 110th Division.

Okamura Neji was very helpless about this, he could only continue to generate electricity.

On the 12th, the Little Japanese Dispatch Army Headquarters issued the order.

Yoshitaro Hayashi directly serves as the commander of the 110th Division Lieutenant General. As for the 110th Regiment, it will not be reorganized for the time being.

The 110th Infantry Regiment under the 110th Division is directly under the Engineer Regiment, the Heavy Troops Regiment, and the Field Artillery Regiment.

Their cavalry regiment was hit and is currently not at full strength. They were mixed with the puppet troops and only had more than 2,000 cavalry troops.

Therefore, the 110th Division Cavalry Regiment was also temporarily cancelled, and they were instead asked to form a cavalry regiment.

This cavalry regiment is a mixed formation of Japanese and puppet troops and is also under the command of the 110th Division.

Yanagawa Shinichi continued to serve as the major general commander of the 110th Infantry Regiment, commanding the 139th Regiment and the 163rd Regiment.

Obviously compared with before, the 110th Division has reduced a lot of troops, which has a great impact on their combat effectiveness.

But it's not difficult to understand. This division has the best weapons and equipment.

However, this battle in the northern Henan region obviously failed to satisfy all parties.

If the 110th Regiment wants to reorganize, the base camp will definitely not agree.

After all, removing Iinuma from the post of head of the garrison is just a small punishment but a big warning.

If Okamura Neji hadn't just taken office not long ago, and he was related to the Little Japanese Emperor.

Relying on the 18th Regiment and the 110th Regiment in the Northern Henan Region, the main force of the Special Agent Regiment suffered a devastating blow. Three Colonel Regiments were either killed or disemboweled.

For this alone, the base camp can directly dismiss Okamura Neji from his position. Okamura Neji could only accept this result.

However, on the 110th, Okamura Neji personally held a banquet for Lin Yoshitaro, the commander of the th Division Lieutenant General, who came to take office.

It seems to be a coincidence that Yoshitaro Hayashi and Mamoru Iinuma, who was dismissed from his post, were classmates in the 21st class of the Army Academy.

In this issue, there are also many capable generals of the Little Devils, such as Ishihara Kanji, Yokoyama Isamu, Hyakutake Harukichi, etc.

But Fangtaro Hayashi is an absolute outlier. After graduating from the sergeant academy, he failed to enter the Army University.

As of July 42, , he was only the commander of the major general brigade.

However, the 110th Division lost the battle in the northern Henan region, and the base camp has begun to make selections.

When Yoshitaro Hayashi was identified on July 10, he was promoted to the rank of Army Lieutenant General.

Since Yoshitaro Hayashi had no experience in the Army University, he spent most of his time serving as division auxiliary and anchorage commander.

A division attaché is equivalent to a regiment attaché, an officer without any real power at all.

The commander of the anchorage seems to have a big name, but he is actually an officer in charge of transport ships.

By the year 38, the Japs conducted a large-scale Battle of Hankou within the Pass.

Both sides participated in this battle with more than one million troops, and the overall losses were considerable.

It was this battle that caused the Japs to make large-scale adjustments to their officers.

Only then did Lin Fangtaro serve as the captain of the 32th Regiment of the 37nd Brigade of the th Division, thus officially serving as a powerful officer in the field force.

The Fourth Division was stationed outside the Pass and assumed the task of clearing the combat troops behind enemy lines outside the Pass.

It was also in this battle that Fangtaro Hayashi showed his strong commanding ability.

It was not until 39 that he was promoted to be the commander of the major general brigade, but he was the commander of an independent mixed brigade.

It took about thirty years for Yoshitaro Hayashi to go from second lieutenant to captain of the Colonel-General.

However, it only took him one year to go from Colonel Captain to Major General Brigade Commander.

From then on, Yoshitaro Hayashi commanded the troops to fight with the 11th Army for a long time until 42.

Even though Yoshitaro Hayashi has made many military exploits, the little devil has a death rule.

If you are admitted to Army University, you may not be able to become a lieutenant general and division commander.

But if you want to become a lieutenant general's division commander, you must have a resume from Army University.

For those who do not have an army college resume, the major general brigade commander is already a ceiling.

However, the 110th Division was defeated. After careful consideration at the Little Japanese Base Camp, they made an exception and promoted Yoshitaro Hayashi to the position of Lieutenant General Commander of the 110th Division.

The more rigid little devils have somewhat enlightened themselves this time. They believe that it is obviously better for generals with actual combat experience to command the 110th Division.

The troops commanded by Lin Fangtaro have been fighting with the 11th Army for a long time, but he has rich combat command experience.

The 11th Army is the only strategic mobile combat corps of the Little Devils in the pass. They have long been responsible for large-scale combat missions.

After the Battle of Hankou, larger-scale operations were basically launched by the 11th Army.

Therefore, the overall strength of the troops coming out here is very strong, and the officers also have rich experience.

"Lin Fangjun, I didn't expect that we would meet here again."

"I have a deep impression on you. At that time, you were the only independent mixed brigade commander under 11."

"You are also the only general among all the generals in the 11th Army who only has a non-commissioned officer school resume."

"I really didn't expect that the base camp would send you here this time."

Here at the Little Japs North China Front Army Headquarters, Okamura Neji said with a smile on his face after seeing Yoshitaro Hayashi.

He did not expect that Lin Fangtaro would become the lieutenant general commander of the 110th Division.

Yoshitaro Hayashi was transferred to the 39th Army in 11. At that time, the commander of the 11th Army was Neji Okamura.

At that time, there was only one independent mixed brigade in the 11th Army.

Originally, this brigade was responsible for the defense of occupied areas, but with the successive battles of the 11th Army, they were also directly used as field troops.

Okamura Neji has also commanded Yoshitaro Hayashi in combat, and he knows a lot about his capabilities.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I am very honored to be able to return to fight under your command again."

"Before coming here, I checked the relevant situation in detail, and I have to say that there are indeed very difficult opponents here."

"Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei's Jinsui Army and Li Yunlong's Eighth Route Army can be said to be relatively elite troops."

"Even if such a unit is placed on battlefields such as Hunan Province, it can still stand alone."

"But please rest assured, Commander, I have absolute confidence that we will gradually resolve them."

Lin Fangtaro bowed and looked at Okamura Neji, and spoke hurriedly.

Neji Okamura is five years older than Yoshitaro Hayashi. Regardless of age, qualifications or status, Yoshitaro Hayashi is far inferior to Neji Okamura.

"You should also know about Matsutaro Tanabe's 18th Regiment."

"In fact, I should bear all the responsibilities for the battle in the northern Henan region."

"In my opinion, with such an elite 18th Regiment assisting in the battle, even if there are losses in the northern Henan region, they will be within control."

"But I didn't expect that Chen Ziyun would have such ability and achieve such results. It's really surprising."

"Lin Fangjun, when you go to the 110th Division, you must be careful and not be careless at all, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Chen Ziyun is very cunning, and his troops regain their strength very quickly."

"Even if they are hit hard this time, they will return to their strongest state in a short time."

"You need to pay special attention to this, and the 110th Division currently lacks a regiment, which will still have a great impact on combat effectiveness."

Okamura Neji looked at Yoshitaro Hayashi in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Hi, Commander." Lin Fangtaro agreed immediately.

Yoshitaro Hayashi stopped at the North China Front Army Headquarters and listened in detail to some suggestions from Okamura Neiji.

In the evening, he began to head to the northern Henan region and officially assumed the position of lieutenant general commander of the 110th Division.

It was at this time that Chen Ziyun recovered from his injuries, and he began to personally take charge of the training of each regiment.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun focused on assessing officers. For unqualified officers, Chen Ziyun directly discarded them.

Of course, there are still shortages of personnel in its subordinate ministries. After all, they will still suffer heavy losses if they continue to fight.

As for additional troops, the first and second theaters here are willing to provide them.

"Commander Chen, no good, something happened."

Early in the morning on July 16th, as soon as Chen Ziyun got up, an officer came to make a panic report. (End of chapter)
