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

On May 11, a large number of troops began to gather towards southeastern Shanxi.

Chu Yunfei commanded the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Artillery Regiment directly under the 2nd Brigade, and stationed them in Wangwu Town and other areas.

Li Yunlong commanded the New 1st Regiment, the New 3rd Regiment, and the Direct Artillery Regiment to enter the Jinmiaopu Town area.

They commanded six infantry regiments and two artillery regiments to contain the southern echelon in the northern Henan region.

As for the Chu Yu Guard Regiment (directly under the 201st Division) and the Wei Heshang Guard Regiment (directly under the Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command), they served as reserve forces.

By noon, ten infantry regiments began to launch combat strikes against the northern echelon.

The two artillery regiments fired in succession to provide cover, while the cavalry regiment was equipped with a heavy artillery battalion to carry out assault operations.

The troops of both sides fought repeatedly and fiercely in the area north of Jincheng, and the Japanese 53rd Division and Tieshi Force suffered successive blows.

At first, the commander of the 53rd Division, Takeda Kaoru, still commanded his troops to counterattack, but as the fighting continued, the casualties of the Japanese and puppet troops continued to increase.

Under the continuous fierce attacks of various regiments, they fought very passively and their casualties continued to increase.

Around the middle of the fierce fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops began to hold their positions and defend themselves.

Chen Ziyun decisively seized the opportunity and quickly surrounded them.

Under the cover of artillery units, each regiment launched attacks day and night.

By May 20th, Takeda Kaoru had been sending telegrams asking for help.

The southern echelon, under the command of 52nd Division Commander Kono Etsujiro, quickly moved north to provide support.

However, they were intercepted by Chu Yunfei's division and Li Yunlong's detachment.

The troops of both sides fought fiercely repeatedly, and the southern echelon had no way to advance to southeastern Shanxi to fight.

By the end of May, the Northern Echelon had suffered heavy casualties and had been under siege for a long time, resulting in a shortage of ammunition and supplies.

The North China Front Army Command had to dispatch the First Army and other troops to provide assistance, but the number of the First Army and other troops was small.

They were first assigned some divisions to fight with the 12th Army, and the remaining troops were responsible for garrison duties.

In this situation, the number of troops they could mobilize for support was very small and could not pose any threat at all.

By June, the Japanese had to withdraw combat troops from Henan Province to ensure the northern echelon.

The 37th Division quickly returned from the front line, but by the time they arrived at the battlefield, the Japanese northern echelon had already suffered heavy losses.

Chen Ziyun intended to completely annihilate this group of Japanese troops, so he personally went to the front line to command the battle.

By June 15, the two guard regiments began to participate in the battle.

As the two guard regiments were deployed to the battlefield, the Japanese troops suffered heavy casualties.

On the 18th, the Iron Stone Forces suffered a devastating blow.

On the 53th, the rd Division suffered heavy losses and its commander, Kaoru Takeda, was killed on the battlefield.

The fighting continued until July, and the remnants of the northern echelon barely escaped from the battlefield with the help of the 37th Division.

However, they had an army of more than 40,000, but less than 10,000 of them were able to evacuate safely.

The main force of the 53rd Division, the Iron Stone Force, suffered a devastating blow and completely lost its combat capability.

By August, the commander of the North China Front Army, General Okamura Yasuji, was removed from his post.

The first chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Naosaburo Okabe, took office as commander of the North China Front Army.

At this time, Chen Ziyun's Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command and Chu Yunfei's 201st Division had merged into the Zhongtiao Mountain Corps.

Using the captured weapons and equipment, they actively organized troops and restored the combat strength of each brigade.

Li Yunlong's Independent Detachment, Ding Wei's Guerrilla Detachment, and Kong Jie's Northern Henan Detachment are also constantly improving their strength.

By the end of 44, the Japanese had no way to deal with them. When Okabe Naozaburo first took office, he wanted to organize troops to attack.

However, the Zhongtiaoshan Corps was organized into seven or eight infantry brigades, as well as established artillery brigades, cavalry brigades and other units.

By January 45, the North China Front Army Command specifically issued a combat order, requiring all units to completely abandon attacks on the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Even within a certain range, the Japanese did not have any troops stationed there, and they had created a relatively wide buffer zone.

The Japanese wanted to use this method to confront each other and avoid fighting with Chen Ziyun and other troops.

However, the various units that have rested will naturally not give up.

In February, Jincheng.

"Brother Ziyun, Brother Yunfei, you are really amazing now."

"With so many troops, I think you can form two armies."

"How about it, are you interested in launching a counterattack?"

"We have been given a mission from above. All three of our detachments must enter the northern Henan region to fight."

"The little devils won't be able to jump around for a few days now, we have to hurry up."

Li Yunlong drank Fenjiu in big gulps and looked at Chen Ziyun and Chu Yunfei and asked.

"Brother Yunlong and the other three detachments have a strength that is equal to one army, even if it is not two armies."

"Not to mention weapons and equipment. You've been active during this period, so you must have got a lot of spoils."

"A few Japanese soldiers from northern Henan won't cause you any trouble, right?"

Chen Ziyun knew the strength of Li Yunlong's troops, and he said with a smile on his face.

"Old Li hopes that you can send troops to the southeastern Shanxi and southern Hebei regions to conduct coordinated operations."

"The Japanese really don't have much time now. If we miss this opportunity, we may never have another chance."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie on the side spoke directly and expressed Li Yunlong's thoughts.

The group discussed the matter while drinking and eating meat.

By March, Li Yunlong commanded three detachments to enter the northern Henan region to fight.

The Zhongtiao Mountain Corps was divided into two groups to fight. Chu Yunfei commanded four brigades to counterattack southeastern Shanxi, and Chen Ziyun commanded five brigades to counterattack southern Hebei.

For a while, there were constant sounds of gunfire everywhere, but the Japanese devils didn't have many troops left.

Those who stayed here were not elite troops. Faced with such a blow, they were beaten to a pulp and were in a state of disarray.

In the following period of time, Chen Ziyun and others were commanding the troops to fight.

Time was running out, and they fought back in the spring.

The fighting lasted until the hot summer, and they had no idea how many towns they had recaptured, let alone how many Japanese devils they had killed.

"Surrender, the Japs surrender!"

On August 15th, some people started shouting wildly.

"What, they surrendered, the Japanese surrendered?"

Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe it was true.

After the news was confirmed repeatedly, many people burst into tears, because this day came too late!
On August 1945, , the Japanese invaders formally announced their unconditional surrender.

The arduous fourteen-year war of resistance is over!
