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

Everyone was still surprised by Fang Ligong's arrival.

Even Li Yunlong is aware of the recent conflicts between the 201st Division and the Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command!
But others may not know it, but Chen Ziyun knows Chu Yunfei very well.

Chu Yunfei may be vague about other things, but when it comes to fighting the Japanese, he will never be vague at all.

Standing here with Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun could still understand him.

Fang Ligong was invited into the room by Chen Ziyun. At this time, Fang Ligong had an awkward expression on his face.

After all, the relationship between the two parties was very tense during this period, and they even fought.

"Commander Chen, Captain Li."

"After Master Chu learned about the fighting situation here in Jincheng, he felt deeply anxious, fearing that Jincheng would be lost."

"So in order to ensure the safety of the position on the north side of Zhongtiao Mountain, the Third Artillery Regiment was specially transferred to assist in the battle."

"This is a handwritten letter written by Commander Chu. I also ask Commander Chen to read it in person."

After Fang Ligong saluted, he handed a letter to Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun opened the letter and read it carefully, with a calm expression on his face.

During this period, the two sides continued to have conflicts, and Chu Yunfei gradually realized that this might be a conspiracy of the little devil.

However, many of Chu Yunfei's old subordinates were encouraged to completely eliminate Chen Ziyun's influence in the 201st Division.

Chu Yunfei could only take action secretly, and it was not easy to break up directly. After all, if he lost control, the consequences would be disastrous.

In the letter, Chu Yunfei explained the situation in detail and expressed his apology. You must know that this time the two parties continued to have conflicts.

Division 201 went too far in many things. If Chen Ziyun hadn't suppressed them intentionally, I'm afraid things would have caused a big fuss.

"Chief of Staff Fang, please also tell Commander Chu to thank him for his kindness."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Chu, there won't be any problems here in Jincheng."

After Chen Ziyun read the letter, he spoke directly.

"Yes, Commander Chen." Fang Ligong saluted and then left the room directly.

"Brother Ziyun, what's going on between you and Brother Yunfei."

"We are all brothers fighting Japanese soldiers in the trenches, so we won't have such a big conflict."

"If necessary, I can step in and be the peacemaker."

Li Yunlong came to Chen Ziyun and said with a strange expression.

"Brother Yunlong is just laughing at this. It's nothing more than a fight for fame and fortune."

"But Master Chu can still tell clearly whether he is Da Fei or Da Fei."

"Now that the third artillery regiment is assisting us, we have an advantage in terms of the number of artillery pieces."

"Now the advantage lies with us. Since the little devils want a decisive battle, we will take turns fighting them and continue to wear them down."

"The artillery is focused on attacking, and elite troops are mobilized to harass day and night. Let's see how long this little Japanese army can last."

Chen Ziyun came to the map and expressed his thoughts directly.

Li Yunlong was naturally very supportive of this. With three artillery regiments assisting him, he felt energetic.

In his words, Lao Li, after so many years of fighting, this is the first time that such a large number of artillery units have been able to assist in combat.

Chen Ziyun began to mobilize his troops, and all ministries gathered towards the designated location.

Starting at four o'clock in the morning on March 17, each regiment continued to attack.

The artillery units of Li Yang Regiment, Zhou Wenbo Regiment, and Sun Xiong Regiment provided artillery support one after another.

Elite troops such as the Guard Regiment, New First Regiment, Independent Regiment, and New Second Regiment launched continuous attacks day and night. The 53rd Division, which the Japs advanced to fight in the area north of Jincheng, was hit one after another.

Their number of casualties continues to increase, and their consumption of various supplies is staggering.

As the number of wounded increased, the morale of the little devils was obviously affected.

On the morning of the 20th, Lieutenant General Shiro Baba, commander of the division, organized his troops to launch a fierce attack with the support of aviation and field artillery.

They tried to use air superiority to quickly seize Longwang Mountain and other highlands.

However, they suffered a heavy blow from the defense forces here. By the afternoon, the little devils were forced to stop fighting.

At this time, the total casualties of the two infantry regiments of the Little Devils had exceeded 2,000.

And among the more than 2,000 casualties, the death rate was very high, already around 60%.

Under such circumstances, Baba Shiro had no idea of ​​evacuating the battlefield for the time being.

He continued to generate electricity and contact the headquarters, hoping to get more supplies.

In addition, he hoped that the 151st Regiment remaining in Luzhou City could go south and fight together with the main force of the division.

"Although we suffered greater casualties and losses, the enemy's casualties and losses were even greater."

"And they consume a lot of supplies, which is difficult for them to replenish quickly."

"As long as we continue to fight here, we will eventually defeat them."

"Now that the enemy is forced to deploy all artillery units to join the battle, it shows that they are at the end of the line."

"When the headquarters airdrops supplies to us and the 151st Wing can arrive quickly, the final victory will definitely belong to us."

Baba Shiro didn't want this battle to end without any progress. He called the little Japanese officer and kept boosting morale.

The little Japanese officers had no choice but to agree. By now, these officers were very tired.

They also have no confidence in the next battle.

The First Army Headquarters still did not make an unauthorized decision. They forwarded the message to the Front Army Headquarters.

The First Army Headquarters did not want to interfere with how the 53rd Division would carry out follow-up operations.

Because they could vaguely guess that the 53rd Division would probably return without success.

If the First Army Headquarters were to take command now, they would inevitably be held responsible in the event of defeat.

After the North China Front Army Headquarters received the message, Okamura Neiji discussed with Chief of Staff Adachi Twenty-san.

They repeatedly conducted combat simulations, and finally the North China Front Army Command approved Baba Shiro's combat request.

Of course, they also know that it is almost impossible for the 53rd Division to continue to achieve greater results.

However, the division has continued to fight until now, fighting against Chen Ziyun's main force one after another, but there have been no devastating casualties.

Up to now, the 53rd Division has been able to maintain a certain combat effectiveness. The North China Front Army Headquarters hopes that they can kill as many troops as possible, including Chen Ziyun.

At the same time, Okamura Neiji also wanted to know where the 53rd Division's combat limits were so that they could better deploy them in subsequent operations.

On March 151, the st Wing began to move south.

However, this unit was blocked by eight guerrilla brigades in the highland area south of Luzhou City.

Eight guerrilla brigades were stationed in Laoxiong Mountain and other highlands to block the attack with all their strength. They blocked the attacks of the Japanese troops time and time again, effectively curbing their southward movement.

At the same time, Chen Ziyun also began to organize anti-aircraft machine guns to attack the Japanese aircraft to prevent them from dropping supplies at low altitudes.

In the morning, the Little Japanese plane was hit by intensive anti-aircraft fire and was unable to accurately airdrop supplies. (End of chapter)
