Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 327 Yamamoto Ikki intends to raid Chu Yunfei's headquarters; the Japanese army copied Chu Yunfei's tactics? (Subscribe

"Commander-in-chief Chu Yunfei has already captured Fanshi County. The enemy forces in the surrounding areas of Dai County are shrinking rapidly and moving towards Gang County. According to reports from Jin-Cha-Ji, gunshots were also heard from the direction of Gang County. It seems that Chu Yunfei wants to wipe out all the Japanese troops in the current area."

The commander-in-chief nodded and studied it seriously.

It is clear.

The intention was to wipe out all the Japanese invaders in this area.

"Although their troops and organization have not been restored, their combat effectiveness has indeed improved a lot."

"Yes, Chu Yunfei and his men seem to have developed new tactics," the Deputy Chief of General Staff said with emotion.

They are all commanders.

Chu Yunfei used a lot of strange tricks, and they were effective.

Battles based on this basically tend to be one-sided.

After launching a full-scale offensive, the 3rd Mixed Brigade was pursued all the way north, crossed the Ruyuekou, and retreated towards Datong.

Judging from the current trend, a triangular vacuum zone of Wutai-Fanshi-Longxian has been formed.

Right in the center of the Japanese troops.

If you didn’t know that it was Chu Yunfei’s troops who took the initiative to attack.

Most people would subconsciously think that Chu Yunfei's troops are in a critical situation and can easily be besieged from three directions.

However, all this was done intentionally by Chu Yunfei.

Anyone who sees this battlefield situation will say, "Crazy."

After capturing Fanshi County, Pang Junming's troops of the 4th Infantry Regiment quickly divided their forces and marched north to occupy Ruyuekou in accordance with the combat plan.

The remaining part, about 400 people, cooperated with Sun Xinpu's troops of the 3rd Infantry Regiment to carry out the clearing work in the areas around Fanshi.

Compared to attacking the county town.

The purge work did not go as smoothly as Chu Yunfei had imagined.

He wanted to end the battle quickly, but these Japanese devils seemed to have suffered too much.

Nowadays, when we are stationed, we have nothing to do so we like to reinforce the fortifications.

Speedy battles encounter people who like to dig holes.

Naturally, it is impossible to end the battle in a short period of time.

The situation has changed slightly.

Qian Bojun was full of worries about this: "If we cannot end the battle of Dai County in a short period of time, once the Japanese army takes the initiative to attack, it will put our army in a disadvantageous position."

"The Japanese army was not aware of the specific deployment of our army, nor did they know that our army actually had no reserve forces."

"Should we bring up the 11th Infantry Regiment?"

"Two hours ago, I had them move to the area around Yu County. They are currently in a standoff with the Japanese troops in Taiyuan and Shouyang."

"This way, these Japanese devils will be afraid to act rashly." Qian Bojun touched his chin and then looked in the direction of Dai County.

The number of Japanese and puppet troops in the Daixian direction was not large. According to the reconnaissance, there were only a few hundred of them.

But the problem is that Yoshio Shinozuka and the Japanese puppet troops lack martial ethics.

After Chu Yunfei's troops moved to the Wutai area.

They immediately closed the city gates and prevented the people from leaving.

With the people as their amulet, the soldiers naturally could not use heavy artillery when attacking.

A battle based on this will inevitably result in unnecessary casualties.

Chu Yunfei naturally would not let the soldiers launch an attack without the cover of heavy artillery. He chose to stop the attack on Gang County and Dai County, and build defensive fortifications on the spot after occupying Fanshi County.

It looked like they were planning to hold on to Fanzhisi, Wutai and other areas.

After the news reached the Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka, Hideyoshi Kusuyama and others were confused about Chu Yunfei's specific plan for a while.

In the combat conference room.

Yoshio Shinozuka and others analyzed countless possibilities, but none of them thought that it was because of the people that Chu Yunfei was so cautious.

In their view.

According to the analysis of intelligence agencies.

Chu Yunfei didn't even care about his own life. (He often went to the frontline command post and the frontline to inspect the troops)
They don't care about the lives of the soldiers (continuous high-intensity fighting, almost all year round).

Such people are naturally less likely to care about the lives of ordinary people.

The stagnation of his troops' offensive was exactly in line with Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's judgment.

Chu Yunfei's troops' offensive was extremely dependent on American aid.

The attack based on this foundation can only be launched again after the arrival of logistical supplies.

Although the Beitongpu Railway line is still operating smoothly, it can transport supplies for them.

However, the logistics and supply lines in the direction of Fanzhisi and Pingxingguan were completely cut off.

The 4th Infantry Regiment defenders in Fanzhisi County were like a nail.

Not fatal.

But disgusting enough.

It feels like there's something nauseating stuck in my throat.

Seeing that Chu Yunfei's troops stopped attacking, the two sides returned to a confrontation.

The 18th Group Army, the Second War Zone Commander's Headquarters, and the Shancheng Command, who were all paying attention to the battle situation here, were all unclear about Chu Yunfei's intentions.

Old Yan even specifically asked Chu Xichun to send a telegram to inquire about Chu Yunfei's next move.

In order to maintain confidentiality, Chu Yunfei only vaguely stated that the time was not yet ripe.

When it is mature, how it represents the time is ripe.

Chu Yunfei kept silent.

Even when the headquarters called to inquire, Chu Yunfei still did not give a detailed account.

This made the North China Front Army, which was closely following the movements of Chu Yunfei's troops and the Second War Zone, feel very uncomfortable for a while.

Yoshio Shinozuka is also a man of courage.

He immediately sent someone to call Yamamoto Ikki.

And he planned to hand over the intelligence of the North China Front Army Command to him.

outside the office.

Yamamoto stood outside the door with a serious face and great energy: "Report!"

The voice was loud and clear, as if he was well prepared.

"Please come in."

Shinozuka Yoshio did not hesitate at this time and immediately said, "Mr. Yamamoto, has the telecommunications investigation department obtained any valuable intelligence in the past few days?"

Speaking of this matter, Yamamoto Ikki felt a little heavy.

Because Chu Yunfei's troops were fighting in the Wutai area.

Their original plan to raid the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Region Government also came to a standstill.

Their reconnaissance troops and telecommunications reconnaissance vehicles wandered in the mountains for a long time.

We were unable to find a suitable target for this operation.

Telecommunications detection technology is a new technology that has only recently been used.

New technologies often have various problems.

Reliability is naturally much worse.

The failure at such a critical moment cannot be explained by simply saying that the new technology is unreliable.

Yamamoto Ikki bowed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, General, we haven't been able to find a suitable target. However, if we can determine the location of Chu Yunfei's headquarters, I may lead the team to attempt an assault."

"Ah."

Yoshio Shinozuka was still very satisfied with Yamamoto's attitude.

In his opinion, Yamamoto Ikki was also a person who never knew what danger was.

They also have pride and strategic vision. However, the situation in the entire Shanxi region is now in a mess, and it is difficult for their intelligence departments to penetrate the southeastern part of Shanxi.

The Second War Zone Command was located in Linfen City, so it could not be a target.

A battle built on this foundation.

Only the main force of Chu Yunfei's troops fighting in the Wutai area remained.

"This is the latest intelligence obtained by the North China Front Army's intelligence department."

"Flying Tiger Attack Army Headquarters?" Yamamoto Ikki just pulled out the first page of the folder and was shocked for a moment.

Qian Bojun's Flying Tiger Attack Army was the unit where Chu Yunfei started his career. It was a combat attack army and the true ace force of the National Government.

Qian Bojun was one of the most famous generals in the Second War Zone.

The former commander of the 109th Division, Shigetoshi Yamaoka, spoke highly of this man, believing that Qian Bojun could easily see through the traps he had carefully prepared and that his command style was known for its stability.

The information also clearly shows that the intelligence department believes.

Qian Bojun's conducting style and personality actually created a situation where his conducting style complemented that of Chu Yunfei.

If Qian Bojun could be killed, it would inevitably disrupt his current command system.

Yamamoto Ikki took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"General, I will immediately formulate a corresponding assault plan."

"Yoshi, Yamamoto-kun, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

"Hai, General, please rest assured that I will complete this assault mission even if I die in battle."

pedal!
Yamamoto walked away with firm steps at the signal of Yoshio Shinozuka.

When Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko heard about this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Yamamoto is indeed an excellent soldier of the empire. He has the sense of honor and responsibility that a soldier should have. I hope he can achieve victory in this combat operation."

victory?

Naturally it is impossible.

The Flying Tigers attack the army headquarters.

The battle of Sun Xinpu's troops in the 3rd Infantry Regiment ended quickly.

They successfully eliminated the remaining Japanese troops in the area around Fanshi County.

According to statistics, conservatively calculated, more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops were killed, and more than 100 of our own troops were killed or wounded.

But correspondingly, the Type 92 infantry gun has a higher consumption of artillery shells.

Most of the fortifications.

They all choose the most efficient cleaning method as soon as possible.

The Japanese's own Type 92 infantry gun is one of the best choices.

No one wants to fight a tough battle.

The effort and reward of the tough battle itself are not proportional.

The 1st Infantry Regiment is confronting the newly formed 37th Division.

The Second Infantry Regiment is confronting the Dai County defenders.

The 4th Infantry Regiment is confronting the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and the 8th Infantry Regiment is used as a reserve.

But for now the 3rd Infantry Regiment has to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

The Third Regiment Headquarters.

Zhao Mingyu, the company commander of the direct-fire artillery company, has been staying at the command center and is unwilling to leave.

There were less than seventy shells left for the Type 92 infantry gun.

If the battle is more intense, a small-scale battle will basically wipe out everything.

Then what else can their direct-fire artillery battery do?
Just for decoration?

"Captain Zhao, I don't have any shells to give you if you sit here..."

"Captain, you promised everything before the war." Zhao Mingyu was not stubborn. He just wanted to find an excuse to improve the food in the regiment headquarters.

Sun Xinpu was somewhat helpless: "I have already sent the corresponding demand report to the military. Given the commander's temperament, he will definitely give us the replenishment as soon as possible."

When he gave the order, he did promise to do it well.

If it is used up, it must be replenished as soon as possible.

But where did Sun Xinpu get the ammunition?
The regiment's artillery shells were replenished immediately before the war, and the shells for the Type 92 infantry gun were basically captured.

The 3rd Mixed Brigade was not equipped with support weapons such as the Type 92 infantry gun.

Naturally, there is no way to rely on replenishing the current losses.

The Northwest Manufacturing General Administration is still in the trial production stage and cannot be relied upon.

"Report, Commander, telegram from the military headquarters."

The confidential clerk quickly stood up and handed the telegram to the regiment commander Sun Xinpu.

After just a quick glance, Sun Xinpu grinned and said, "Don't worry about the shells."

"What did the superior say?"

"He said we fought well and we can just switch to a defensive posture. In addition, Commander Chu praised the performance of our direct-fire artillery company and has reported it to the headquarters. We will try to get honors and commendations for you."

"Also, there is no need to worry about the shells for the Type 92 infantry guns. The Americans have already produced a batch and they are expected to arrive in China within a month. By then, they will naturally be replenished for the various troops."

Zhao Mingyu smiled and said, "Medals and the like are nothing to us. Can we talk to our superiors and get more money as a reward?"

"What's wrong? Are you having difficulties in life?" Sun Xinpu asked.

"I'll send it back home for my brother to marry." Zhao Mingyu chuckled, "Isn't this hoping that my brother will carry on the family line?"

Sun Xinpu shook his head helplessly: "It's okay for you to say this to me, but don't say it when you see Chief Chu..."

"Captain, we know that Commander Chu will not shortchange our brothers in their rewards."

The battle situation turned into a stalemate.

The American military officers also received Chu Yunfei's approval.

They each went to the front line to observe the battle.

Although there was no major offensive, small-scale fighting continued.

Both sides are trying to test and consume each other.

Except for the direction of Ru Yuekou which was held by the 4th Infantry Regiment, the Japanese army did not take the initiative to attack.

Small-scale Japanese troops launched exploratory attacks in almost all remaining directions.

As reports continued to be sent to the headquarters.

Chu Yunfei also began to pay attention to the deployment adjustments of Japanese troops on the three-dimensional combat map.

Shanxi's First Army still has only a few combat units.

However, the Japanese army began to try to organize it at the battalion level.

Carry out corresponding troop division, and launch attack on own position with squadron and company as basic tactical units.

Most importantly, according to reports, the Japanese army began to try to draw troops from various arms to form teams in order to achieve further coordination between the arms.
Not so much an offense.

It's more like a real-combat tactical exercise.

Such a strange situation soon attracted Chu Yunfei's attention.

There is only one possible explanation for this situation.

There is a high probability that there are old Japanese soldiers observing or directing the battle.

There is no way the commander could be Yoshio Shinozuka.

Yoshio Shinozuka was not good at splitting up his forces in this way and maintaining a small-scale, long-lasting attack.

This kind of playing style.
Chu Yunfei racked his brains but couldn't figure out which Japanese commander it was.

It seems familiar, but I think of the commanders of the National Army and our party.

After a while.

Chu Yunfei reacted.

The Japanese are currently using it.

It was the "German battle group" that he once liked to use in offensive operations!
