Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Chapter 465 The Americans are coming, and the war is not far away! (Subscribe)

"How is the costume change going?"

"According to your previous arrangement, three regiments will use American weapons and three regiments will use Chinese weapons. There is still a large amount of equipment in reserve. Currently, there is a redundancy of about two regiments. The artillery unit also has sufficient artillery shell reserves. Once these defeated soldiers complete their training and join the army, and the officers are replenished, the troops will be completely prepared."

Shanxi, Headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander.

Chief of Staff Chu Xichun was holding a telegram sent from a small town on the Yunnan-Myanmar border.

He walked briskly and looked slightly excited.

Until we arrived at the door of the commander's office.

When the guard saw that it was Chu Xichun who arrived, he opened the door directly: "Commander Yan has instructed that if you come here today, you can go in directly."

Chu Xichun smiled and asked, "Is there a guest inside?"

"It's Commander Lin."

Chu Xichun nodded slightly and walked into the office.

Sure enough, Lin Wei was standing opposite Yan Laoxi at this time.

As the former director of the First Attendant Office, Lin Wei was now on a temporary assignment in the Second War Zone. Nominally he was there to study, but in reality he was serving as a bridge of communication between Yan Laoxi and Chang Ruiyuan.

After all, he was actually quite afraid of Yan Laoxi.

This old guy still has a certain degree of influence in the entire North China region.

Otherwise, Yan Laoxi would not have been wooed by the Japanese so many times in history.
Even when it was about to sign an armistice agreement with the Japanese in 41.

Chang Ruiyuan directly sent someone to inform Yan Laoxi.

Once Yan Laoxi surrendered, he would send troops to attack Yan Laoxi first and then the Japanese.

"Brother Qingbo."

"Brother Weiwen is here too."

At this time, Yan Laoxi smiled and gestured to Lin Wei: "Qingbo, sit down."

Seeing Chu Xichun holding the telegram, Yan Laoxi understood what he meant and asked with a smile, "Qingbo, what's the matter?"

"Chu Yunfei called and asked to transfer some officers to Zenda on the Yunnan-Myanmar border and transfer them to the expeditionary force to support the next battle."

Upon hearing this, Yan Laoxi said with concern: "You can contact Fang Ligong and Qian Bojun and ask them to find a way to transfer officers."

"Yes!"

Yan Laoxi did not shy away from the fact that Lin Wei was beside him, and said directly: "Does Yunfei have any other difficulties? Does he need any ammunition? The Second War Zone still has a lot of war reserves."

"It's no problem to allocate 75 rounds of 105mm mountain artillery shells. We also have mm high-explosive shells in stock. If he needs them, we can immediately allocate rounds to him."

Lin Wei had never seen Yan Laoxi so generous.

When he was communicating with Yan Laoxi on behalf of Shancheng.

Not to mention supporting other war zones, even when it came to replenishing the main force of Fu Zuoyi, the deputy commander-in-chief of the war zone, Yan Laoxi was very stingy.

Although they will give it, they always delay it and even complain.

Without Chu Yunfei's presence, Yan Laoxi's inherent characteristics of being a landowner and miser were revealed once again.

After all, everyone knows the current situation between the enemy and us on the battlefield in North China.

Except for the high intensity of the war in the enemy's rear, there will basically be no fighting in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Suiyuan.

eight months ago.

The main force of Fu Zuoyi's troops completed their rest and took over the defense in the direction of Yanggao County and Tianzhen from Fang Ligong's troops.

Fang Liguo's troops also launched a recovery operation against Lingqiu and other county towns in northeastern Shanxi in the first half of this year.

The battle plan was almost perfect, the number of troops deployed was almost seven times that of the Japanese army, and a large amount of resources were consumed.

Although we finally achieved a temporary victory and recovered several counties, the overall number of casualties remained high.

The casualty ratio between the two sides was close to 4:1.

After this battle, the young military officers who had been clamoring to counterattack North China and recover Northeast China shut up obediently.

When Chu Yunfei was here.

The overall loss ratio of both sides can still be maintained at 1:1-1.3.

Even if friendly forces and Japanese puppet troops are included.

The casualty ratio between the two sides will basically not exceed 3:1.

After Chu Yunfei left.

Fang Ligong and Qian Bojun’s commanders at all levels are basically the same people.

But they never fought another particularly stunning and beautiful battle.

Many decisive battles were fought, and several victories were won in defending key military towns and passes.

But there were no more annihilation wars, and it was impossible to annihilate the Japanese army's manpower in large numbers. The cost of fighting to eliminate military strongholds one by one was so high that it was unacceptable to the Second World War.

Since then, Yan Laoxi clearly realized that Feihu's spiritual energy seemed to have disappeared without a trace because of Chu Yunfei's departure.

Compared with before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Qian Bojun and Fang Ligong's command and combat capabilities have improved countless times in both theoretical knowledge and practical level.

It’s just that their abilities are indeed lacking compared to their positions.

Although he is much stronger than other generals in the Jin army system.

But compared to the North China Front Army team that they valued very much, they were far inferior. Relying on the foundation and tactical system that Chu Yunfei had laid before, it was not easy to maintain the corresponding front.

It is almost impossible to expect these officers to lead their troops to counterattack.

Lin Wei said slowly: "The headquarters judged that the Japanese army would definitely attack Southeast Asia in the second half of the year, so they made corresponding expedition preparations in advance."

Yan Laoxi smiled, as if everything was expected: "Yun Fei talked to me about these things before he left Shanxi. In addition to the 74th Army, the ace unit, staying in the Ninth War Zone to participate in the second Changsha Battle of this round, he even guessed which troops the headquarters was going to use to go south."

Lin Wei was stunned and filled with emotion.

In his opinion.

Chu Yunfei knew everything about the Shancheng government and even the headquarters' thoughts.

He is actually willing to go to the mountain city and sit on the bench.

Should we say that Chu Yunfei is blindly loyal, or does Chu Yunfei have other plans?

"Commander Yan, I came to visit you today because I received a telegram from the Chairman. I will set off immediately as one of the second group of officers to go to Burma for an inspection to make adequate preparations for the upcoming expedition..."

"Director Lin, why don't you stay a few more days? That way, the Flying Tigers officers can fly over with you."
-

"So many people are going?" Old Yan looked at the list in his hand with mixed feelings.

Yan Laoxi could understand why Wu Ziqiang wanted to go.

After all, Wu Ziqiang is not very happy with his job in the 13th Army Group, and Wang Jingguo is a man who says one thing and does another.

As Yan Laoxi's own son-in-law, he knew Wang Jingguo very well.

Ever since Chu Yunfei left the Second War Zone, he started to form a small circle of Jin Army soldiers.

Although Yan Laoxi's order warned Wang Jingguo, Wang Jingguo obviously thought he had figured out Yan Laoxi's thoughts and did not take it too seriously.

If it is limited to the 13th Army, Yan Laoxi would not bother to care.

Qian Bojun, the senior commander who had basically taken over the work of the Sixth Army, actually wanted to go, which made Yan Laoxi a little unhappy for a while.

His love for Chu Yunfei.

After Chu Yunfei left, he naturally gave this feeling to the generals under Chu Yunfei.

Qian Bojun's work would not have progressed so smoothly without the support of Yan Laoxi.

Chu Xichun smiled and explained, "Bojun said he was just stating his attitude, Yunfei wouldn't really let him go."

"It's better to be calm and steady." Yan Laoxi sighed: "There are still too many people. If so many people go there, won't the Second War Zone collapse?"

"So the personnel list still needs to be decided by you, Chief Yan."

Yan Laoxi took a quick look and didn't know who to cross out: "Forget it, send a telegram to Yunfei and let him decide for himself."

"Yes!"

Zenda.

An American jeep convertible was running happily on the streets of the city.

"Woohoo~"

Stilwell, sitting in the co-pilot's seat, exclaimed: "I am surprised that this small border town has such a spacious passage!"

The person driving the car was none other than Sun Ming. He was wearing sunglasses and honking the horn. "Commander Chu guessed that you would come to China ahead of schedule, so he specially ordered the expansion of the entire Zenda City, intending to use it as a forward base."

"Chu is actually worried about the failure of the expedition?"

"After all, our teammates are arrogant British guys who are very good at betraying their partners and allies. Even with the restrictions of joint defense coordination, Commander Chu does not trust them. He prefers to trust the reliable American brothers!"

Stilwell laughed out loud, looking more like a blond lunatic than a general.

"You know what, Adjutant Sun? After returning to China last time, with the help of Chu's plan, "we" convinced those damn conservatives and successfully reached a consensus within the army. Our army reform has now entered a critical stage. Just give us another half a year, and our army's combat effectiveness will be taken to a higher level!"

"Thanks for the sweet China-US cooperation, which has benefited us. Please rest assured that this time we also come with sincerity and we will give you the greatest support!"

Sun Ming smiled and said, "If we can get Mr. Stilwell's support, we will surely win this battle."

"Of course, I believe that our people are also ready for battle. Once the war breaks out, the powerful 'American machine' will crush these damn dwarfs."

Run~Run~
Sun Ming took Stilwell to have fun on the streets.

A group of "defeaters" who were in training stood on the side of the road at the signal of Hao Weipeng and saluted the few people who were speeding past.

Sun Ming responded to everyone by honking his loudspeaker, and then continued to move towards the advisory group's residence.

"Coach Hao, how dare they drive in the city?"

"The man in the co-pilot's seat is General Stilwell, the head of the American military corps."

Hao Weihao explained: "The Americans like to openly seek privileges within the rules, and they also expect the Americans to provide money, guns, and artillery shells. Just bear with it. If they drive so fast, I'm afraid the deal has basically been settled, and they are just teasing the Americans."

Snake Butt's eyesight was pretty good: "The guy driving the car, I think he has a star of general?"

Hao Weihao's eyes were full of envy: "That's our Chief of Staff, Commander Sun. He is Commander Chu's most trusted subordinate. He once blocked three bullets for Commander Chu. After he was discharged from the hospital, he was recommended to study at Lu University. After graduation, he became our Chief of Staff."

The group of soldiers were also envious at this time.

Even the man who was training with them, who was previously just the adjutant of their battalion commander, has now become their company commander.

If you choose a good leader, you will be promoted quickly.

Hao Weihao glanced at the somewhat unfocused "defeaters" and said loudly: "The Americans are coming, which means the Japanese will soon attack Southeast Asia. We don't have much time left."

"Everyone, head to the physical training ground outside Zenda City, run and walk~!"
