Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 249: Commander Chen: It’s bad, I was fooled by Chu Yunfei! (Subscribe)

Subtitle: Why don’t men take Wu Gou and take over the fifty states of Guanshan?

Wuhan.

Command headquarters.

As the situation in Shanxi became increasingly tense, Chiang Kai-shek, He Yingqin, Chen Chi-xiu and others also received relevant news.

The current director of the Ordnance Department, Yu Dawei, also participated in this meeting.

"The general offensive of the Second War Zone will be launched in three days. They will mobilize thirteen divisions to participate in this counterattack according to the original combat plan."

"The main force of the 14th Army will also participate in the corresponding battles."

Chiang Kai-shek asked, "How much ammunition is currently lacking in the Second War Zone?"

"Three million rounds of 7.92mm rifle ammunition, 6.5 million rounds of 75mm ammunition, grenades, mortar shells, and rounds of mm mountain artillery and field artillery shells."

He Yingqin quickly gave the most accurate figure.

"How much supplies and equipment can we currently allocate to the Second War Zone?"

He Yingqin remained silent.

No words, not a single word.

Chiang Kai-shek frowned slightly, sighed, and then slowly said: "If Shanxi makes a big move, the Japanese troops in the eastern Henan region will definitely not ignore it, and they are likely to go north to reinforce the Shanxi front line."

"If we still can't get supplies after putting in so much effort, the people down there will get angry."

Chen Chih-hsiu spoke out in support of Chiang Kai-shek's decision: "The Chairman is right. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it with grass. With the war imminent, we should indeed supply some military supplies."

The situation in Wuhan is tight, and all combat troops need corresponding weapons and ammunition.

Chiang Kai-shek naturally couldn't come up with it.
He Yingqin was slightly shaken. He sighed and said, "I want to find a way to transfer some weapons and ammunition to support the operations in the Second War Zone."

He Yingqin glanced at Yu Dawei and didn't say much.

But Yu Dawei still understood the meaning.

He glanced at Chiang Kai-shek and then reminded him in a low voice: "Chairman, the shortage in the Ninth Theater is still increasing. Our factories in the Wuhan area are also in the process of evacuation, and the amount of ammunition originally scheduled to be supplied to the front-line combat troops is also decreasing."

"How much is still missing?"

"Seven hundred and eighty anti-aircraft machine guns, seventy-eight 20mm anti-aircraft guns, one hundred and forty-seven anti-tank guns, and three hundred and ninety 82mm mortars."

"In addition, our mortar shells and corresponding 7.9mm pointed bullets are completely insufficient. The current shortage is about rounds and million rounds."

"The production capacity of the arsenals in Sichuan and Shu needs to be further expanded. If there is not enough money, go to the Ministry of Finance for special approval." Chiang Kai-shek frowned and set the tone.

"But the Ministry of Finance," Chen Cixiu reminded in a low voice.

"If the money is not enough, we can issue more domestic debt. The war should be the most important thing."

"Yes!"

Several people knew it in their hearts.

Chu Yunfei's attack not only mobilized the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Also mobilized were Eighth Route Army troops operating in the Taihang Mountains and the northwestern mountainous areas of Shanxi.

Fu Zuoyi's troops went to Suiyuan to defend their territory.

This battle is likely to get bigger and bigger with the support of the Flying Tiger Honor Division.

The Japanese army is likely to withdraw troops from the troops attacking Wuhan on the northern front and move westward to maintain the situation in Shanxi.

The situation of the Battle of Wuhan will also undergo some changes as a result.

This is a good thing.

Chiang Kai-shek took Chu Yunfei's loyalty and bravery to heart.

After the end of this small meeting.

Chiang Kai-shek then called Wang Shihe and ordered, "Yun Fei is too anxious. Send him a secret telegram and ask him to stay in southeastern Shanxi and rest well."

"Commissioner, what about the counterattack in the Second War Zone?"

Chiang Kai-shek had a blank expression on his face: "Based on my understanding of Brother Baichuan, this strategic counterattack is just a lot of noise but little action. There is no need to pay too much attention to it. The key point is still the defense line of the Yangtze River."

What level of player is Yan Laoxi?

Chiang Kai-shek himself knew this clearly.

Yan Laoxi could also guess what Chiang Kai-shek was thinking.

Both of them basically show their cards at the table.

It's nothing more than that there is a two of hearts temporarily on Yan Laoxi's card.

It’s a big card indeed though.

But Chiang Kai-shek, who was holding both the big and small kings at this time, would not regard Yan Laoxi as a threat.

Compared with the ambitious Japanese, local rich men like Yan Laoxi are nothing.

Nothing to worry about at all!

Naturally, Chu Yunfei received the secret message from the attendant's room first.

He just glanced at it and threw it aside.

Chiang Kai-shek was obviously overthinking it.

He mistakenly believed that Chu Yunfei's rash attack and the counterattack in the Second War Zone were to show his loyalty to him.

It was to repay his order allowing Chu Yunfei's troops to withdraw to southeastern Shanxi.

The telegram from the First Envoy Office clearly expressed that Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the Flying Tiger Honor Division would rest and recuperate in southeastern Shanxi.

As for the key of Chu Yunfei’s current work, it is not to attack the Japanese.

The key is to train soldiers and cultivate officers and corresponding technical personnel.

As for the corresponding weapons and ammunition, Chu Yunfei should not worry too much, the chairman will find a way to solve it.

A telegram.

It's like the advice from elders to the younger generations.

If you don’t know what’s going on.

I thought Chu Yunfei’s surname was not Chu, but Jiang!

That’s a bit outrageous!
In fact?

Chu Yunfei didn't think so much at all.

It was originally just a test-style operation, and it was also to complete the so-called second-phase strategic counterattack in the Second War Zone.

The ultimate goal is to consume the Japanese army's strategic reserve materials and their manpower.

And now...with the frequent actions in the Second War Zone.

Even the main forces of the Eastern Army began to prepare for war.

It seemed that the entire Shanxi region was about to be plunged into a protracted war.

This made Chu Yunfei a little speechless. He couldn't guess what Yan Laoxi was thinking for a while.

How could they cooperate so well to make such a big move?

Chu Yunfei didn't think about anything else at this moment.

Just look at the situation in the current three-dimensional combat map.

Chu Yunfei could see it clearly.

The Yangquan garrison was short of manpower, with only a Japanese infantry squadron without heavy weapons and a puppet army company stationed there.

With such a small force, there is nothing to be afraid of.

There would be no problem even if the cavalry regiment went with the baggage transport regiment to purchase goods.

The reason why we haven't alerted the enemy yet.

This was also because the 7th Infantry Regiment was "losing ground" under the attack of the Japanese Field Infantry Regiment.

As long as they show a strong will to fight.

The Japanese army would definitely not continue to attack or even pursue.

But the same.

Destroyed an entire field infantry regiment of the Japanese army.

This would be impossible with the 7th Infantry Regiment alone.

He could only wait for the main force of 197 to arrive before making relevant deployment adjustments.

Severely damage or even completely wipe out this Japanese infantry regiment.

If you are lucky, you might be able to seize a large number of wild artillery shells or other combat supplies.

In the Second World War.

About whether it is a real proactive attack.

The opinions of the senior generals were also divided.

Sun Chu, Yang Aiyuen, Zhu Shouguang and others firmly believed that the timing was not right to attack at this time.

Carrying out raids and tying down the main Japanese forces in Shanxi was the greatest support for the Battle of Wuhan.

Based on their understanding of Chiang Kai-shek.

It is absolutely impossible to provide more support.

It is only necessary to maintain the current strategic situation, and the command will naturally provide the corresponding military supplies and equipment in a steady stream.

Ultimately, it comes down to distrust of Chiang Kai-shek.

This is also normal.

After all, the grievances between the two parties cannot be resolved in just a few words.

Chiang Kai-shek's reputation before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War.

The years when the Nationalist government stepped up its preparations for war were not good at all, and could even be described as infamous.

It was not until after that incident that anti-corruption activities in various places decreased significantly.

anyway.

There were pro-war factions within the Second War Zone Commander's headquarters.

Chu Xichun is one of them. He advocates that the aid received should be used and consumed.

If it is not applicable, Chiang Kai-shek will certainly not make any new additions.

These weapons and equipment were added to the Second War Zone.

It is itself the product of the consensus and tacit understanding reached by both sides after the Hankou Conference.

It is kept for counterattack. If it is not used or consumed, who will replenish it?
After expressing his opinions, it was Yan Laoxi who made the final decision.

"According to the strategic counterattack plan drawn up by Harunami, we will erode the Japanese-occupied areas and give priority to recovering some corners and places that the Japanese are unwilling to invest energy in. Isn't this also progress?"

As soon as Yan Laoxi finished speaking, everyone simply stopped objecting.

They all expressed their agreement with Commander Yan's ideas and battle plan.

These so-called edges and corners, once they are described in a different way.

That's different.

For example: Commander Yan in the Second War Zone commanded with great determination and skill, and launched a counterattack to recover countless square kilometers of lost territory.

As for whether the recovered areas are important or not, not many people will delve into it.

In the eyes of a group of senior generals, what Yan Laoxi said was more like a corresponding operation to shut up the command.

"Well, even if we can't take Taiyuan, we must take this opportunity to give the Japanese a hard blow and stop them from spying on our eastern and southeastern Shanxi regions. Otherwise, these little devils will want to move south sooner or later."

"Yes!"

Yan Laoxi's journey south.

It means that the Japanese army is likely to capture Wuhan.

They gathered heavy troops in Shanxi and attacked downward along the Nantongpu railway line.

After clearing out the main forces in Taiyue and southern Shanxi, they attacked Shaanxi from two directions.

Once the Japanese army chose such an offensive strategy.

That's for the Second World War.

That's not called risk.

It's simply a catastrophic disaster.

If the Japanese army formed a heavy military group in Shanxi area similar to the Battle of Lanfeng.

Yan Laoxi was not at all confident that he could stop the attack of the heavy Japanese troops.

Even with the full support of Wei Lihuang's troops, the outcome would have been the same.

The 40,000-strong main force of the Japanese army was able to overwhelm the 200,000-strong main forces of the Central Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

What's more, the current Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is much weaker than before!
the other side.

The 7th Infantry Regiment commanded by Chen Zejun after half a day of fierce fighting.

The original battle plan was changed.

Continue to retreat to the third blocking position.

The Japanese army called for support from the air force, and most of the night fighting fortifications were destroyed by the Japanese army, resulting in heavy casualties among the soldiers.

The anti-aircraft artillery battalion has not yet been deployed and is unable to deal with the problem of Japanese fighter planes for the time being.

In this case, what else can we wait for if we don’t withdraw?

After briefly informing the friendly forces.

The soldiers quickly evacuated to the third blocking position.

Compared with the hasty construction of the first blocking position, the second blocking position was reinforced all night.

The construction of the third blocking position will take longer.

In order to prepare for this blocking battle, the engineering company of the 7th Infantry Regiment had already begun corresponding preparations five days ago.

And now.

The Jinqiu Mountain line became the last line of defense in this mountain blocking battle.

"Sir, the Japanese will most likely not launch a pursuit."

"Their main combat mission should be to ensure the safety of the Zhengtai Railway Line."

Sun Ming expressed his views on the current deployment situation.

Chu Yunfei nodded: "But don't forget, we also have bait when we fish... and the Japanese have already taken the bait."

"You mean the chance to annihilate the 386th Brigade?"

"If it were you, would you give up so easily? It is very difficult for these Japanese soldiers to find the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Now the Eighth Route Army has jumped out and stood in front of them. If you were the commander of the Japanese army, would you want to destroy it?"

"Yes." Sun Ming nodded firmly: "The combat style of the Eighth Route Army makes it difficult for the Japanese army to destroy it without having an advantage in manpower. Because of this, it is difficult for them to capture the main force of the Eighth Route Army and severely damage or even destroy it.

However, our army's various units are often not interested in guerrilla warfare and the corresponding raids."

Chu Yunfei nodded: "Our army's troops generally won't take the initiative to conduct raids without direct orders, but having said that, after all, the main force needs to undertake corresponding defense work. If we withdraw troops to conduct guerrilla warfare, it is very likely that we will find it difficult to gain a foothold."

"You should be aware of the behavior of the friendly forces..." Sun Ming nodded: "But I heard that the situation of Zeng's troops is relatively better..."

"It's not that good. It's just that Chief Zeng is not greedy or possessive. There are also many chaos under him..."

Chu Yunfei warned: "So, now that the fighting has subsided, you have to take up the patrol work again."

"I see."

The situation Chu Yunfei described.

Even some local military units with relatively good reputation.

There are also cases of beating and scolding, and even punishment of kneeling.

For this group of officers and soldiers, they received little dignity from senior officers.

This model is actually the model used by warlords to promote their cronies.

The warlord is the patriarch of a family.

In their opinion, there is no need to consider their dignity when scolding and punishing their juniors.

There is nothing wrong in asking them to kneel in public.

When the generals below lost their so-called self-esteem.

They will naturally carry out the will of the patriarch, and at this time, they become the so-called direct descendants.

Not to mention the distant past, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, and even the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army all had similar military culture.

Such troops do not have the conditions to fight guerrilla warfare at all.

It is a foolish idea to let such local military forces conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

It was more like providing the Japanese devils with corresponding puppet army personnel.

He was able to understand the limitations of many warlord generals of this era.

But as a time traveler, he is dissatisfied with everything and wants to make some changes within his ability.

Just like this would never happen to his troops.

Officers and soldiers are all equal.

Positions may be high or low, but in terms of personality.

Especially when it comes to human dignity, there is no high or low.

This is also one of Chu Yunfei's little tricks to improve the cohesion of the troops.

Chu Yunfei doesn't have the ability to develop a common ideal or build an army based on politics.

But we should develop a culture of brotherhood and serve our country with loyalty.

The spirit of patriotism with patriotism for the people as its core.

It's still easy.

Didn’t General Wei Lihuang and Guo Jiqiao carry out a pilot program after they returned after observing what Chu Yunfei’s troops were doing?
Whether it is useful or not, you will know it once you use it.

There is a lot of cultural soil in the country, and much of the local culture is essence, not dregs.

People from the same place are indeed more likely to unite and trust each other.

On the battlefield, this kind of thing is very critical.

In a blink of an eye, the battle between the two sides lasted for another afternoon.

Until dark.

The first and second battalions on the front line were withdrawn for rest and reorganization.

The third and fourth battalions were rotated.

Small details of the troop rotation.

The 7th Infantry Regiment also paid great attention to it.

They adopted the approach of rotating guards one squad at a time to take over the defense line.

Instead of rushing into the position all at once, the efficiency is much lower.

But it is more stable and safe.

After hearing Chen Zejun's arrangement, Chu Yunfei nodded with satisfaction.

Sun Ming also praised: "Ze Jun's command style does not seem like that of a young general in his twenties, but more like that of an old general with a steady command style."

"Yes, we are in need of such veterans now."

"Report, Commander, the casualties of the first battalion are 487, with 280 killed."

"The casualties of the Second Battalion were 500 and several dozen, with 409 killed and wounded."

"Why did the Second Battalion suffer so many casualties?" Chen Zejun asked immediately.

"Report to the regiment commander, our battalion is mainly responsible for resisting the frontal attack of the Japanese army and has taken on more artillery fire, so..."

Chen Zejun nodded thoughtfully and said in a resounding voice: "Go down and have a good rest. Be ready for battle at any time."

"Yes!"

"Commander Chu, the high number of casualties in the troops is my fault. I did not assign more medical soldiers to the troops responsible for the frontal release in advance."

Chu Yunfei emphasized expressionlessly: "You are in command of the 7th Infantry Regiment now, not me."

"Yes!"

Chen Zejun turned around and gave the order: "Notify the medical team and the stretcher team to prepare in advance in the anti-shell cave. Once the Japanese shelling stops, rescue people immediately."

"Yes!"

There are far from enough medical personnel, especially after absorbing a lot of friendly troops.

This problem is even more prominent.

In units like the 68th Army, the proportion of medical soldiers is almost negligible.

The various troops they added increased the number of combat troops and lowered the proportion of medical soldiers.

Such military expansion will generally affect the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the troops.

After this battle, Chu Yunfei will also deal with this matter.

"Jingle Bell"

The phone rang and the explosion sounded.

Chen Zejun turned around and stepped forward to answer the call: "Hello! Hello, this is Chen Zejun. I understand, Brigade Commander Chen."

"Commander Chu, Brigade Commander Chen."

Chu Yunfei stood up and walked to the phone: "Senior, it's me."

[Yun Fei, the enemy has been contained by our army and everything is going well. The Eastern Route Army Command hopes to organize superior forces to fight an annihilation battle near the Zhengtai Railway Line to prevent the Japanese invaders from rampaging in the southeastern Shanxi region. What do you think of this?]

"That's exactly what I was thinking. I've already dispatched a part of my main force, a total of about 6,500 people, and they are heading north quickly. We expect to encircle the current Japanese infantry regiment within three days. If everything goes well, we can swallow them all in one go."

[This battle plan is good..]

Without waiting for Brigade Commander Chen to speak, Chu Yunfei simply told him his encirclement and annihilation plan over the phone.

Brigade Commander Chen on the other end of the phone asked again: [Will there be any other friendly forces to cooperate in this operation? ]

"nothing now."

【That】

Brigadier General Chen was about to say something when he was interrupted by Chu Yunfei: "Senior, according to the intelligence we have obtained so far, the troops fighting your army are the field infantry regiments under the newly formed 37th Division of the Japanese Army, and they are accompanied by a wild artillery regiment for fire support. Your army's firepower is relatively poor, and the soldiers have suffered heavy losses before.

Yun Fei suggested that we should get out of the battle as soon as possible by luring the enemy deep into our territory, rather than fighting with the enemy in place. We don’t have to worry about our army being attacked from both sides, as the Japanese army will definitely not easily allow the two forces to join forces.”

Brigade Commander Chen was a little surprised: [You mean, we retreat and draw the Japanese into Xiyang to fight? ]

If the Japanese army did not pursue.

What awaits Chu Yunfei's troops is a two-sided attack.

Even if the Japanese army chased into Xiyang and left the Zhengtai railway line area, what would happen?
Could it be that they still have the ability to encircle and annihilate them now?

There was no surplus food in Yan Laoxi's family, let alone the Eighth Route Army troops participating in the Qin County encirclement and annihilation campaign.

They are also extremely poor now.

It has been more than half a year, and this is the first time that a battle of such a scale has been carried out.

There is no way Chu Yunfei is unaware of this.

Could it be that Chu Yunfei wants to mobilize other troops?
Chu Yunfei said loudly: "Yes, your army has fought fiercely with the Xiyang Detachment of the Japanese Army in Xiyang before, so you must be familiar with the local terrain."

"Before the 109th Division's campaign to annihilate Qin County, it had briefly stationed in Xiyang County.

Based on my understanding of the Japanese Army commanders, they will most likely not give up the opportunity to pursue and annihilate your army.
Zeng's main force brigade has already headed north, which is very convenient for supporting your army. However, how to play the role of the rout well depends on how you command it..."

After hanging up the phone, Brigade Commander Chen was quite conflicted.

The raid was turning into a major battle.

He hurriedly ordered: "Immediately send a telegram to the head of the headquarters for instructions. If we continue to fight like this, the scale of the battle will become larger and larger. We have so little money that we can't afford it."

Brigade Commander Chen now seriously suspected that Chu Yunfei's main purpose in asking him to lure the enemy deep into the territory was to find an opportunity to annihilate this field infantry regiment in Xiyang.
Even Zeng Wanzhong's Third Army is likely to be included in Chu Yunfei's plan.

It seems that a considerable price will be paid for the equipment of the two battalions.

Eastern Route Army Headquarters.

After receiving the telegram from Brigade Commander Chen, the deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of general staff and others immediately convened a corresponding combat meeting.

"That's not right. Didn't Chu Yunfei give the officers and soldiers of his combat troops a holiday? Where did he get the troops to go north to fight a war of this scale?"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff's doubts are also everyone's doubts.

"Could it be that they are a supplementary group?"

"According to the telegram from Brigade Commander Chen, the main force they are mobilizing this time is Luo Weiguo's 197B, which is also his elite force."

"We received news this morning that the Eighth Infantry Regiment under Chu Yunfei is also gathering urgently. Their goal is to go north to reinforce Li Shilong's troops."

"Then the situation will be much clearer."

"Chu Yunfei not only wants to seize the Japanese military material warehouse in Yangquan, he also wants to take over the Japanese field infantry regiment that is currently fighting, and also take over the Japanese infantry regiment that is currently fighting with us."

The deputy commander-in-chief was quite emotional: "We all know how powerful the Japanese are in combat."

"The combat effectiveness of Chu Yunfei's troops is worthy of the title of the National Government's ace. They have fought very beautifully in all the battles since they left Jin." The Deputy Chief of the General Staff said in a resounding voice.

"They were given the best weapons and equipment. Whether in the Second War Zone or the Fifth War Zone, all the good equipment, ammunition, grenades, and artillery shells were given priority to them."

"This has greatly ensured the high fighting spirit and combat effectiveness of the troops under his command."

"But we are different. Our army is not only facing difficulties in recruiting soldiers and insufficient equipment. If we had not cooperated with Commander Yan, our army's grain collection would have encountered considerable problems." The deputy chief of staff pointed out the key to the current problem: "I think this has something to do with the fact that Chu Yunfei's troops are in full swing."

"Think about it carefully..." The deputy chief of staff continued, "After the Qinxian encirclement and annihilation campaign, our Eighth Route Army became famous, and the recruitment work went quite smoothly. Then we developed a large number of local armed forces, which effectively contained and attacked the Japanese invaders and puppet troops."

"But now, with Chu Yunfei's troops returning to Shanxi, the number of soldiers that our army can recruit in the southeastern part of Shanxi has further decreased. The field army has also suffered a lot of losses due to the previous war. If we need to maintain our combat effectiveness, we will definitely need a large number of well-trained soldiers.

This aspect...is an issue that needs to be solved urgently.”

The deputy chief of staff paused, then continued, "Of course, we can discuss this later. You should also express your opinions on how to fight the battle in Xiyang."

"Let me talk about my own opinion first. My opinion is that we should not only fight, but also fight beautifully and show the style of our Eighth Route Army. This will be of great benefit to our subsequent work."

Three hours later.

Brigade Commander Chen received a telegram sent back personally by the commander-in-chief.

"Old Chen, what did the head of the headquarters say?"

"We must not only fight, but also fight with our own style and characteristics, and show the demeanor of our Eighth Route Army."

"Then let's use the old method, the guerrilla tactics that we are best at!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded: "Contain, harass, and tire out the enemy. As for the encirclement and annihilation, it will be handed over to our friendly forces!"

"Ok!"

Brigade Commander Chen quickly walked back to the phone, and another call came into Chen Zejun's command center.

"Hello, I'm Brigade Commander Chen, looking for Chu Yunfei."

【Senior.】

"Yun Fei, the commander-in-chief has agreed. Our army will implement the strategy of luring the enemy, but it is uncertain whether the Japanese army will pursue us."

[No problem, there are ways to not pursue, seniors, don't worry about this. ]

"Well, I will pretend to be defeated and retreat to Xiyang, and then break up into small groups and conduct guerrilla warfare to contain the enemy. Commander Li's main force is expected to enter Xiyang tonight."

[I propose that Commander Zhu be asked to intervene and command the Xiyang battle.]

"Okay." Brigade Commander Chen agreed: "I will call back immediately and report to the Second War Zone Commander Headquarters to ensure the coordinated operations among the various units."

Hang up.

Chu Yunfei turned to look at Chen Zejun who was silent beside him: "Do you understand?"

Chen Zejun shook his head in confusion, and then nodded: "Commander Chu means that he wants Commander Zhu, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, to command this raid, but he does not want to follow the command of the Eighth Route Army."

"You want to maintain independent operations while needing someone to control the Third Army's combat forces. The Eighteenth Army Group is the right person?"

Chen Zejun asked himself and answered: "But what should the commander of the Second War Zone think about? This operation has exceeded the combat plan drawn up before the war, and it is bound to affect the situation of the entire Second War Zone."

Chu Yunfei patted his shoulder appreciatively: "It's great that you can think of this."

"Xiyang is very close to the Eighth Route Army's Taihang base. The reason they chose to fight in the Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base is partly because they are familiar with the terrain there, and partly because they haven't fought a big battle in half a year, so no one knows how far the situation has developed."

"I want to know what's going on, and Commander Yan wants to know even more."

Chu Yunfei paused, then smiled and said: "You commanded this battle with confidence, and your advances and retreats were orderly. You performed very well."

"However, I will command the next battle."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei walked towards the observation port and looked in the direction of the front line.

He put his hands behind his back, his eyes full of arrogance.

They didn't take the Japanese army seriously at all.

The 1st Battalion of the Mountain Artillery Regiment is less than twelve kilometers away from here and can be deployed within two hours.

The 197B vanguard has completed the encirclement.

As long as the artillery battalion is in place, the Japanese army can be surrounded and annihilated in one fell swoop!

This is the first battle since returning to Shanxi.

Chu Yunfei decided to fight beautifully!

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States?"

"Today is a good opportunity for the men of Shanxi to make achievements and establish their careers."

Chu Yunfei quickly turned around and looked in the direction of Sun Ming, and said in a loud voice: "Sun Ming."

"Have."

Sun Ming put his feet in military boots together, his footsteps clanging.

"Telegram to Zhuo Tianyu and Qian Bojun to conduct a first-level combat readiness mobilization in the southeastern Shanxi base area."

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei grinned, his face full of expectation: "I want to see, after half a year, when the time comes to fight, how many elders and villagers are willing to support our Flying Tiger Honor Division and support me, Chu Yunfei!"
