Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 146 Conquering the th Army Commander Li Zhenxi; The Japanese Army Besieged Southeast Shanxi from Six Directions (Subscription Request)
On the training ground.

The carefully selected soldiers of the 197th Regiment quickly arrived at the designated training location.

Under the command of Pang Junming, the soldiers marched as usual.

After the training instructor gave the command.

The soldiers immediately switched to attack formation under the command of Pang Junming.

According to the training process, the scenario now being simulated is a sudden ambush by a small group of enemies during the march.

The soldiers quickly sought cover and launched a counterattack against the enemy (target).

The battle ends within the specified time (time limit).

Then calculate the unified number of rings.

The second step is to discover the enemy on the hill ahead, receive orders from superiors, quickly seize the hill and destroy the enemy.

This is when the team's offensive tactics are put to the test.

Because it was the first time to receive relevant training.

Chu Yunfei gave them an hour to familiarize themselves with the situation.

Waited for a full hour.

The training has just officially begun.

After the whistle blew.

The well-prepared soldiers began a mock march.

During the first phase of training, the performance was quite good.

But many soldiers still made mistakes.

After all, it's much better than when it first started.

Nearly a dozen soldiers failed to find suitable cover within thirty seconds and were exposed to the enemy's firepower.

Then in the second phase, the infantry squads attacked the soldiers.

Many soldiers made mistakes when charging forward.

Follow the rules.

They were to head to designated bunker positions to avoid exposure to direct fire from the Japanese.

Once the corresponding situation occurs, points will be deducted.

Such training standards are indeed quite strict.

Even when it was yellow four or five.

There has never been such a strict standard.

Of course.

Li Kuishan, Chu Yunfei, Qian Zhaoyou and other old Huangpu veterans.

I also know that times are different now.

Their alma mater has now fully entered the German-style training period.

That is, starting from the ninth term of Huangpu.

Basically all the instructors were replaced by Germans.

These Germans are known for their strictness, rigor and efficiency.

Once there is something that makes them dissatisfied.

They would shout loudly in German: "Come again."

Everyone is using live ammunition, so they need to pay 100% attention.

I saw that there were doctors and nurses stationed next to the training ground.

Li Kuishan couldn't help but frown, thinking that something must have happened before.

Otherwise, such an arrangement would not have been made.

The second phase of assault training.

The training ground is very large with complex terrain, and there is almost no flat terrain.

However, Li Kuishan didn't think that Chu Yunfei was making things difficult for them.

Such training grounds simulate the battlefield environment almost as closely as possible.

The Japanese would not serve as targets for the soldiers to shoot at on the flat plains.

just.

The attacking position is open area.

There aren't many places to find cover.

Live ammunition shooting.

On the battlefield, there are soldiers who are untrained or insufficiently trained.

It's easy to be careless when charging.

Block the machine gunner's firing range.

The performance of the machine gunner will also be greatly restricted.

At present, a similar situation has occurred on the training ground.

Through the telescope, Li Kuishan had discovered that many soldiers were in brief confusion.

But under the command of "Company Commander" Pang Junming.

Adjusted quickly.

After arriving at the bunker position, these elite machine gunners immediately set up their machine guns and fired the triggers at the chest ring targets in the distance.

After experiencing the initial panic, some infantrymen bent forward, lay down to cover their fire, crawled to reach the bunkers, and provided corresponding fire support.

Each team took turns to charge forward.

The performance was generally satisfactory, and common infantry tactics were used.

However, bad habits such as group charges still exist.

If they really fought like this, the Japanese could kill several soldiers with one grenade launcher.

This training exercise will be scored by all officers present.

The scores of Chu Yunfei, Qian Zhaoyou, Li Kuishan and other instructors are weighted comprehensively.

That is, take their average percentage and multiply it by the corresponding on-target score.

Chu Yunfei was quite satisfied. He nodded and praised: "Not bad. The use of terrain and the cover during the leap forward assault were very good."

"But there was still some slight panic, and some situations that blocked the machine gunner's firing range."

"You guys score first, I'll score last."

Li Kuishan smiled. He was naturally very satisfied.

Even though there was a little confusion and panic at the beginning, the merits outweighed the flaws.

In terms of overall performance, it can be considered excellent.

Now, Li Kuishan is no longer worried about being outdone by Qian Bojun.

A company of seven had to reach the training ground within three hours.

In this case, corresponding training subjects and tasks must also be completed.

Even if it is completed successfully.

It's impossible to perform better than them.

Chu Yunfei caught the little expression on Li Kuishan's face, but didn't pour cold water on him.

I just waited quietly for the training instructors to calculate the corresponding scores.

When encountered an ambush, he fought back on the spot and fired a total of 89 bullets into the target.

In other words, this item scored 890 points.

According to statistics from several on-site instructors.

Approximately fourteen to eighteen soldiers were exposed to the enemy's field of vision and had no cover.

The compromise was sixteen fighters, with one hundred and sixty points deducted.

For the second phase of the exercise, most of the other people gave scores of 70, 80, or 90.

Chu Yunfei compromised and gave 80 points.

This means that the score obtained by this company of the 197th Regiment plus the points obtained during the subsequent attack on the mountain.

总共算来的积分数量是：890-160+（1380*0，8）=1834
"Report to the commander, the total score of the company in this training is 1834 points."

Chu Yunfei did not shy away from asking directly, "What is your performance level in this training ground?"

The instructor hesitated and glanced at Li Kuishan beside him: "Below average!"

"No way?"

Li Kuishan was extremely surprised. He asked, "How many troops have been trained here?"

"Each company in the regiment trains at least once or twice every two weeks, and the average score of each company is above 2,000 points."

The instructor told the truth: "In the first training, the performance of each company was relatively poor. The lowest score was 1,400 points from the 23rd Company of the 4th Battalion."

The system of five battalions and six companies.

The troops further back are often newly formed.

It's normal to perform a little worse.

but.

War will not give you the opportunity to adjust yourself before participating in this exercise.

Physical training is strict, shooting training is difficult, and tactical training is based on actual combat.

This sentence.

In Chu Yunfei's army, it has never been just a slogan.

It is a very strict requirement!
Since the training.

Then we must strictly follow the standards.

The current Honor 196th Regiment.

Qian Bojun has developed a comprehensive training plan.

If this incident had not happened, all troops would have conducted rotation training at the frontier comprehensive training ground according to the original training plan.

Troops stationed far away will conduct marching training along the way.

It is already the most scientific and most suitable training for the current troops at this stage.

Li Kuishan was silent.

The worst training and exercise results of the 196th Regiment were already very close to theirs.

This is the seventh company.
The thing I was most worried about happened.

If you win, you should take a step back and accept Chu Yunfei's training model.

Naturally, the initiative in the reorganization still lies in his own hands.

If he is defeated, Chu Yunfei will intervene in the personnel arrangements.

The training mode must also follow Chu Yunfei.

Li Kuishan had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He knew that this was a good thing for the army as a whole, but when it came to dismantling his own troops.

Emotionally, it's still hard to accept.

We waited on the training ground for almost two hours.

The fully armed Seventh Company arrived at the training ground under the leadership of Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Wang.

At this time, everyone was sweating profusely.

Liu Wang, who came to report, also had beads of sweat on his forehead.

I had already cursed Xue Jie, the fake monk, hundreds of times in my heart.

Good things don't come to him, so all the troublesome things are left to him.

About fifteen kilometers, fully armed, arrived within three hours.

This is a very good result.

Don’t forget, there is still time needed for emergency assembly!
"Reporting to the commander, the 196th Company of the nd Battalion of the Honorable th Regiment has been ordered to rush to the training ground. Deputy Battalion Commander Liu Wang."

Chu Yunfei looked down at his watch and praised: "Not bad, two hours and fifty minutes, within the standard time!"

"Listen carefully. Lead your troops to the designated training positions immediately and complete the current training subjects!"

"Yes!"

Liu Wang saluted and quickly returned to the team. After assembling the troops, he immediately moved towards the designated position on the training ground. During this process, the soldiers quickly adjusted their breathing and rhythm.

With a whistle, the training began.

As orders from the instructors at the training ground continued to be issued.

The soldiers quickly threw away their combat backpacks, looked for cover, and started shooting at the targets on the hilltop.
The gunfire was so intense that for a moment some chest ring targets were interrupted by the dense bullets.
Li Kuishan couldn't help but frown at the intensity of the firepower: "Sir, this unit is equipped with automatic guns?"

"Qian Bojun!"

"Have!"

"The Seventh Company is equipped with automatic guns?"

"In reply to your question, sir, no. We have built up our company according to the corresponding infantry company standards and have not increased the firepower of automatic rifles. Currently, the only two companies in our regiment equipped with Thompson submachine guns are the First and Second Companies."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Not bad, after all, he is a former Second Battalion Commander, so his performance is pretty good."

Qian Bojun did not reply.

The performance of the Seventh Company was indeed impressive.

There were only two or three minor flaws during the entire training process.

The other fighters behaved in perfect harmony.

Sometimes Liu Wang doesn't even need to give orders.

Each squad and platoon leader will then take command on their own.

From a bird's-eye view of the battlefield.

Liu Wang, the deputy battalion commander, directly handed over the command to the commander of the seventh company.

He worked part-time as a machine gunner with a Czech-made rifle.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but smile. This Liu Wang was still so messy!
Soon, the exercise was over.

Chu Yunfei put down the telescope in his hand: "Give us a score!"

"Ninety-five." Li Kuishan spoke first.

"Ninety." Qian Bojun gave the score.

"Ninety-eight."

Everyone then looked at Chu Yunfei.

"There is still a lot of room for improvement. Let's give it 85 points. Let's calculate, how many points did the Seventh Company get?"

Calculate?
Is this even worth calculating?

Perhaps the individual combat qualities of some soldiers in the Seventh Company are not as good as theirs.

But overall, the level of cooperation is far better than theirs.

Can't find even the slightest mistake!
The entire exercise seemed to have been conducted countless times. This is the strength of the 196th Regiment.

This is the strength of Chu Yunfei’s elite troops!

Li Kuishan was convinced by the performance of the Seventh Company.

he knows.

In fact, a lot of this is thanks to Chu Yunfei.

Whether it is the guiding ideology of training or the specific training methods and approaches.

Most of them were things Chu Yunfei figured out on his own.

People like Qian Bojun are actually just executors.

As a reformed training method, Chu Yunfei's personal ability, military merit, and everything else...
Li Kuishan was full of admiration for them.

Li Kuishan immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Yunfei's right side: "Commander Chu, we lost."

"Compared to this, there is indeed something wrong with the training method of our 197th Regiment. I promise! I will change it immediately after I return."

"If we have to reorganize the work, we will also do it"

"Speaking of reorganization work."

Chu Yunfei interrupted, "I just want to introduce you to someone. This person is Qian Zhaoyou, courtesy name Wuguan. He is a fifth-term student of the Whampoa Military Academy and my classmate in the next class. I plan to transfer him to the 197th Regiment as the chief of staff, responsible for promoting the reorganization work."

Li Kuishan pulled up a forced smile and said, "Of course, Brother Wuguan, welcome to join our 197th Regiment."

"Hello, Brother Kuishan, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Let's chat later... Let's eat lunch first!"

"Yes!"

too far.

Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

Seiji Kozuki met with the commander of the 4th Brigade, Hiraru Isamu.

Previously, in the Battle of Yu County, the Heishima Cavalry Regiment was completely wiped out.

Pinglu Yongfu was therefore questioned by Tokyo.

It was also because of his personal guarantee by Katsuki Seiji that Pinglu Yongfu was not directly transferred to the reserve force.

For the First Army Commander, Seiji Kazuki.

I have sincere respect for Pinglu Yongfu.

In the recent battle to encircle and suppress the Eighth Route Army's Jin-Cha-Ji base area.

The troops under Pinglu Yongfu performed very well.

It is also the unit with the most achievements and the most remarkable military exploits.

"General Pinglu...please look!"

Before the battle map.

Pinglu Yongfu took a few glances and guessed that this was Xiangyue Qingji's combat plan for the southeastern Shanxi region.

Among the participating troops were not only his 4th Brigade.

There is also the 109th Division, part of the th Division, part of the th Division, and the th Cavalry Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army.

Kozuki Seiji introduced: "The first phase of the mission is that the 4th Brigade led by you will take a powerful step, set out from Qi County, and advance towards Qinzhou. After reaching Nanguan Town, stop advancing, eliminate all threats in the surrounding area, and wait for further combat orders."

"The strategic idea for this attack on the southeastern Shanxi region is that the 4th Brigade will depart from Qi County and advance towards Qinzhou."

"The 20th Division set out from the Linfen area to attack Anze and Xiaqinyuan, and to attack the main enemy forces in Qinzhou and Changzhi areas."

"The 108th Division and a part of the 109th Division will join Wu'an and attack Shexian and Dongyangguan areas along the Changhan Highway to wipe out the Eighth Route Army troops in the area. When the mission is successful, they will seize the opportunity to attack the main enemy forces in Changzhi."

According to the markings on the battle map.

The number of troops in Changzhi area does not seem to be large
Why is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?

Pinglu Yongfu asked, "General, judging from the battle map, the troops active in the southern section of the Zhengtai Railway should be Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army and the two infantry divisions of the Eighth Route Army."

"The enemy forces on the Changzhi front are Chu Yunfei's troops of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army."

"Just looking at the combat numbers, even if the enemy is fully staffed, it seems that there are only less than 30,000 of them."

Xiangyue Qingji nodded: "That's right, but we don't know the current situation of the enemy yet. Our intelligence personnel have not yet figured out the current deployment of enemy forces in the southeastern part of Shanxi."

Pinglu Yongfu understood.

The incompetent Special High Technology Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The intention of Seiji Kozuki was to use the two regiments of his 4th Brigade as bait.

Attack the southeastern part of Shanxi from the direction of Yushe to see the situation.

Regardless of whether there is fierce resistance or not, one can roughly guess the enemy's deployment.

In this situation, with the help of aerial reconnaissance aircraft, it is easy to find loopholes in the defense line.

Considering the strategic situation.

Under siege by various troops.

It is easy to divide and surround the main forces in the southeastern part of Shanxi, and then annihilate them when the follow-up troops arrive to support them.

"We currently have a great advantage, that is, the enemy has not yet figured out our strategic thinking."

"They don't understand how much we value the Shanxi region and have concentrated a large number of troops in the direction of the Jinpu Road."

Xiangyue Qingji seems to be sure of victory.

Pinglu Yongfu on the side was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not say much.

As the battle of Nanjing went smoothly.

Opening up the Jinpu Road has become the most important task for the army at present.

Under such circumstances, Kiyoshi Kozuki wanted to conduct operations in the southeastern part of Shanxi.

Then there is only one possibility.

Launch an attack on the southeastern Shanxi region before the Battle of Jinpu.

Otherwise, once the Battle of Jinpu begins.

Both sides engaged in a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops.

Under such circumstances, the operations of the Shanxi First Army naturally did not receive strong support.

Even in early 38, the Japanese army's all-out offensive was divided into primary and secondary.

Good steel is used on the blade and materials are spent on critical areas.

These old devils in the Tokyo headquarters are very calculating.

Otherwise, we will just have to rely on this group of army idiots.

They will only make our country's rice more expensive and eat it all up!
As for why the National Army gathered a large number of troops to support the North China region.

That was also the unanimous judgment of a group of senior generals.

The most important goal of the Japanese army at that time was to open up the Jinpu Railway, meet up in Xuzhou, and annihilate the main force there.

The goal of the National Army was naturally to defend Shandong, Jiangsu, the Pinghan and Longhai railway lines and ensure the safety of a series of cities.

Xiangyue Qingsi told Pinglu Yongfu about his battle plan: "This time, our primary target of attack is Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army. According to the intelligence we have so far, this unit is in very bad condition. The direction they are stationed in must be where the enemy's forces are weak and their firepower is poor."

Pinglu Yongfu nodded, and Xiangyue Qingsi continued to introduce: "Although we have not been able to figure out the specific deployment location of the enemy forces in the southeastern part of Shanxi, we have intercepted the relevant contact telegrams.

At present, the 13th Army, the main force of the Central Army, has withdrawn from the entire southeastern Shanxi region, and the 17th Division under Zhao Shoushan has also withdrawn to Shaanxi. It has not yet been determined which unit will take over the defense work.

But I believe that no matter which combat unit it is, it cannot resist the iron hoof of our great Japanese brother country."

Kazuki Seiji is very confident.

During the past month of fighting, he was troubled by the guerrilla warfare and incessant harassment of the Eighth Route Army.

They also liked to engage in so-called mountain mobile warfare with the Kuomintang troops.

do not know why.

The so-called mountain mobile warfare carried out by the Kuomintang troops in Shanxi area for a month eventually turned into mountain positional warfare.

The battle took place in the Taiyue Mountain area west of Changzhi.

The main combat target of the 20th Division was the Central Army commanded by General Wei Lihuang.

Although the Japanese army continued to attack for more than ten days, they did not make any progress.

But General Wei Lihuang was not happy.

Originally they wanted to fight a guerrilla war, a mobile war.

Now it has turned into a positional war.

Although mountain positional warfare can greatly offset the Japanese artillery advantage.

But their casualties were still not small.

This made Wei Lihuang very distressed.

He also took this opportunity to express his intention to seek advice from the Eighth Route Army.

Mr. Zhou had a good relationship with Wei Lihuang when he was in Taiyuan, and the two of them worked together quite happily.

The two sides immediately finalized the itinerary for an inspection and visit to Yan'an early next year.
The content about Yan'an in the latter part of this chapter was eliminated by the Green Plan.

So it looks a bit strange.

I want to think of a way to do it..
Many people commented that Li Zhenxi could just leave if he wanted to.

But actually it is not.

This regiment is General Yang Hucheng’s guard regiment and teaching regiment.

It can be said that all of them are officers, and a division can be expanded on this basis at any time.

Li Zhenxi not only has personal abilities, but also has a good background in the Shaanxi Army.

In the war history, he was promoted to the commander of the 177th Division and the commander of the th Army due to his military achievements.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, he surrendered and led his troops to revolt in Maoxian, Sichuan in 1950.
