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

At five o'clock in the afternoon on May 14th, Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Chu Yunfei, commander of the 201st Division, Chen Ziyun, guerrilla commander of Zhongtiao Mountain, Li Yunlong, leader of the independent detachment, and others gathered together.

The 52nd Infantry Division is already sharpening its sword in the northern Henan region, and the war is about to break out.

Thousands of troops in the Third Brigade have to face the 52nd Division alone, and the pressure can be imagined.

You must know that the last time they faced the 53rd Infantry Division, Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong dispatched the main force to repel them.

"All the 52nd Division was dispatched, and troops from the 41st Division and the 53rd Division were deployed to garrison the northern Henan area."

"The overall weapons and equipment of the third brigade are not weak, but they were hit last time and they were replenished, so their combat effectiveness has still declined."

"If a fight breaks out here in the northern Henan region, they may not be able to stop the little Japanese troops."

"If areas such as Hanoi County are captured, then Zhongtiao Mountain will be in danger, and the 53rd Infantry Division will be like a sharp sword hanging behind our heads."

"Brother Yunfei, Brother Ziyun, in this battle in the northern Henan region, we here will fully assist in the battle."

"Relevant orders have been conveyed. Our independent detachment and Lao Kong's North Henan detachment must cooperate to ensure that the third brigade holds its position."

Li Yunlong had a solemn expression on his face. He looked at Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun in front of him and said directly.

The areas such as Hanoi County where the Third Brigade is stationed are located southeast of Zhongtiao Mountain.

This is not only the connection point between the first theater on the south bank of the Yellow River and Zhongtiao Mountain, but also the rear side of Zhongtiao Mountain.

If the Japs capture this place, they will pose a great threat to Zhongtiao Mountain.

At the same time, Kong Jie's northern Henan detachment also contacted the independent detachment through here to develop in the northern Henan region.

If the Third Brigade's position is lost, the Henan North Detachment will become a lonely force and be surrounded by small Japanese soldiers. The consequences can be imagined.

Therefore, Li Yunlong quickly received combat orders here, and they were to fully coordinate the operations to ensure the safety of the position.

When necessary, they will mobilize the entire army to fight to ensure contact between the two detachments.

"The 1st Artillery Regiment and the Guard Regiment attached to the guerrilla command have quickly gone to Hanoi County to strengthen the defense of the 3rd Brigade."

"The cavalry regiment has also arrived in the Shaoyuan Town area. They can advance along the highway to East Hanoi County at any time to support operations."

"In addition, we have also put two infantry regiments on standby. As long as necessary, these troops will quickly go to fight."

"The strength of the five regiments is the maximum amount of troops we can deploy at present. The other troops need to stay behind."

Chen Ziyun thought for a while and said directly.

Liang Ruxian's third brigade is currently under the direct jurisdiction of the First War Zone Commander's Department, but Jiang Mingsan has issued the order.

Now that the third brigade is in danger, he has dispatched two regiments to go directly to support, and a cavalry regiment can be mobilized at any time.

After the two infantry regiments completed their assembly, they were able to quickly rush to the battlefield to fight.

Chu Yunfei's 201st Division must be responsible for staying in Zhongtiao Mountain, so they will not deploy too many troops for combat this time.

But Chu Yunfei also knew the situation here in the northern Henan region, not to mention that this was another joint battle between them.

Therefore, the 201st Division still dispatches the special agent group directly under the division headquarters to assist in the operation.

The three people discussed and they formulated a detailed support operation plan.

Time is passing, and the sky is getting dark unconsciously. In towns such as Hanoi County in northern Henan, the main force of the third brigade has been deployed at this time.

Liang Ruxian deployed the main force of the 604th Regiment and the 605th Regiment on the west bank of the Qin River for defense, and they prepared to rely on the Qin River to defend.

The first artillery regiment sent by Chen Ziyun set up artillery positions in the rear. The guard regiment was responsible for guarding the artillery positions and was also a reserve force.

It is worth mentioning that the commander of the First Artillery Regiment made adjustments, and Sun Xiong, the former commander of the Third Artillery Regiment, was transferred to serve as the commander.

As for the Third Artillery Regiment, it is an artillery unit directly under the 201st Division. Huang Jianqiu has been recommended by Chu Yunfei as its commander.

Li Yang, the former commander of the First Artillery Regiment, served as the acting brigade commander of the Second Guerrilla Brigade.

The second guerrilla brigade is subordinate to the second, third and fourth guerrilla regiments.

Of these three guerrilla regiments, the Second Guerrilla Regiment was formerly the Field Supplementary Regiment.

The third and fourth guerrilla regiments are members of the puppet army anyway. The two regiment leaders, Tian Tongxuan and Lu Zhenyu, are both members of the puppet army.

Li Yang is Chen Ziyun's junior fellow student at the artillery school and his long-term subordinate, so he is obviously the most suitable.

The Third Brigade currently has four regiments assembled in Hanoi County and other areas, including two infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, and a guard regiment.

In addition, in the Shaoyuan Town area on the west side of Hanoi County, the Zhangwu Cavalry Regiment can rush to help at any time.

As the 52nd Division gradually moved towards Shanyang City and directly launched a tentative attack on Qinhe, the Kong Jie detachment also began to mobilize.

Kong Jie arranged for the four guerrilla brigades under the Northern Henan Detachment to disperse and carry out guerrilla operations, and he directly commanded the independent regiment to gradually move towards Shanyang City to prepare for the war.

In addition, the New First Regiment, New Third Regiment and other units of Li Yunlong's detachment have also begun to mobilize and assemble, and they can go to the battlefield in northern Henan at any time.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yunlong's independent detachment has currently formed a new third regiment, which is also a field regiment.

As for the guerrilla brigade directly under each detachment, it is a guerrilla force. Although their weapons and equipment are not weak, they have no large-scale combat experience.

Therefore, these guerrilla brigade will definitely not undertake important combat missions unless absolutely necessary.

The independent detachment currently has two infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and two guerrilla brigades.

The two guerrilla brigades are to stay in Lishan and other areas for defense and will not go to the northern Henan area to fight.

For a time, everyone's focus was on the northern Henan area, and in the area west of the Qin River, advancing teams that had already completed the penetration were gathered one after another.

Captain Takeshita Ryuzo, the captain of the colonel, summoned the little Japanese officers together, and they began to discuss.

"Chen Ziyun's two regiments have arrived on the battlefield and are currently deployed here."

"And Liang Ruxian's brigade headquarters is in the county town, and his two infantry regiments have established positions on the west bank of the Qin River."

"We have locked these two regiment headquarters and can launch an attack at any time."

"Chen Ziyun sent here the artillery regiment and the guard regiment. Their defense here is tight and there are almost no loopholes."

"Captain, looking at it now, our best choice is to attack the third brigade."

The little Japanese officers pointed at the map and told them their battle plans.

Takeshita Ryuzo marked on the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after repeated discussions, the little Japanese advance team began to take action, and they gathered towards the designated area. (End of chapter)
