Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

When the others saw Chief of Staff Yu's expression, they immediately understood that the matter in the second telegram was probably more serious than the first one, otherwise the Chief of Staff, who was always known as a Confucian general, would not have lost his composure like this.

Chief of Staff Yu sorted out his thoughts and said in an extremely excited tone:

"Commander Yan, and all my colleagues present, Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment just called. Just before we received the telegram, he personally led the main force of the 358th Regiment and secretly went to You County together with Li Yunlong's independent regiment."

"We launched a sudden attack while the enemy was unprepared. We have now taken control of the entire city of You County, annihilated a Japanese city defense battalion, persuaded a puppet army to surrender, and successfully occupied the entire material warehouse complex."

After hearing the contents of the telegram, everyone present left their seats and went to the large military map hanging on the wall, trying to find the location of You County.

Even Commander Yan is no exception, although his military ability is just average, slightly better than the micro-manipulation master, but not much better.

Because You County currently belongs to the Japanese territory, people usually don't pay attention to it. Now they heard that Chu Yunfei has recaptured the county, and that it was done by a surprise attack when the enemy was unprepared.

Everyone was wondering when their Jinsui Army became so capable in fighting. This was completely unlike their previous combat style.

In the future, if people from other troops dare to mock the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army for being weak and gullible, they can use these two battle examples to slap those people in the face.

This level of victory is rare on the current Chinese battlefield. Even the powerful Central Army has never achieved it. This is something worth bragging about for all the soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

As for the fact that other troops participated in these two battles, everyone present automatically ignored it. Since Chu Yunfei reached an agreement with the other three regiments, this great victory was achieved mainly by the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, with the other three regiments providing assistance. No one could deny this fact.

Even if Chu Yunfei used some tricks, it would not be a big deal. It only proves one thing, that their Jinsui Army is still very capable in fighting.

Commander Yan looked at the regional map of You County and was filled with ecstasy. This was truly a great joy.

This You County was previously used by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to store large amounts of supplies. After being captured by the Japanese, it was also used as a material transfer base due to its well-developed transportation network.

In the previous battle, someone suggested sending a troop to launch a surprise attack on You County to relieve some of the pressure on the main force.

However, after a large number of discussions among the headquarters' combat staff, the plan was ultimately rejected by all of them, mainly because it was too risky and did not even have a 1% chance of success.

You County was a big city, with a battalion of Japanese troops stationed there. Plus, there were many artillery towers along the way serving as guards, so there was no way to approach silently.

In order to break through such a strong city, it is necessary to mobilize an infantry division and an artillery regiment to succeed.

But if they really did this, as soon as the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's large forces were dispatched, the Japanese would get the news and would immediately mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the troops attacking the city.

If it were light infantry, no matter how many people they went, they would not be able to capture a city with tight defenses like Xiangyou County.

The Japanese also calculated this, which is why they felt confident placing the material circulation center so close to the battle zone, because they had nothing to fear.

Of course, if China's Air Force could work harder and directly dispatch large-scale bomber groups, it would definitely be able to teach the Japanese a lesson in minutes and make the enemy pay the price for their arrogance.

But there is no "if" in reality. China's industrial strength is weak, and the few aircraft it has can only defend in the rear. It is impossible for it to take the initiative to attack.

Chief of Staff Yu pointed to the location of You County on the map and said excitedly:

"Now no matter how Chu Yunfei captured You County, our Jinsui Army did it anyway."

"This You County is the enemy's material base for this campaign. Most of the logistical supplies are circulated from this place. As long as our troops occupy this place, within two days all the attacking forces of the Japanese will stop their attacks due to the shortage of ammunition."

"If we hold out for five days, the Japanese will be defeated and our army will win."

As soon as the chief of staff finished speaking, others began to discuss the matter and gave various good suggestions.

Previously, because the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, no matter how hard everyone thought, they could not find a good way to break the situation.

Even if Hexian achieved a great victory, it would only relieve some of the pressure on the battlefield and boost the low morale of the soldiers on the front line, and that was all.

However, if the Japanese's rear material circulation center was captured by us, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's chess game would immediately come alive, and the entire situation would immediately be reversed, with the Japanese being at a strategic disadvantage.

Chu Yunfei's move was vicious enough, as it was equivalent to directly strangling the enemy's throat, leaving Shinozuka Yoshio in a dilemma. The only way was to stop the attack on the front line and mobilize heavy troops to take back You County.

Commander Yan thought about it and immediately issued the latest combat order:

"Inform all the soldiers on the front line of this situation and ask all units to send small units to actively attack and consume the enemy's ammunition reserves. Since the Japanese have made such a big mistake, we should take advantage of their weakness to kill them."

"The Japanese without sufficient ammunition are like tigers without teeth. There is nothing to be afraid of."

After hearing this, everyone present nodded in agreement. Commander Yan's order was indeed correct, and their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was also known for its abundant ammunition.

If we asked the large army to walk out of the strong fortifications and engage in a decisive battle with the Japanese in the wild, I guess no one would have the courage to do so. But if we want to find ways to consume the enemy's ammunition reserves, there are too many ways to do it.

Everyone present was a veteran of warfare. After a moment's thought, they easily came up with a dozen good ideas, each of which could make the Japanese devils suffer unbearable pain.

In fact, to be more realistic, the reason why the Japanese are so ferocious now is simply because they rely on advanced weapons, sufficient ammunition and well-trained personnel.

Now if there is a problem with the enemy's ammunition supply, the other two things will be of no use. No matter how good the Japanese infantry are in bayonet fighting, they will be nothing but chickens and dogs facing the concentrated fire of a large number of submachine guns.

Our Commander Yan is very pleased with the flattery from his subordinates. Their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has not had a favorable battle for a long time, and now they want to let the world know that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is still very capable in fighting.

Then, he said seriously: "Chief of Staff, send a telegram to Chu Yunfei and ask him to lead his troops to hold You County for five days to create an opportunity for the large army to win this battle."

After hearing this, Chief of Staff Yu frowned and said:

"If they really do that, Chu Yunfei and his 358th Regiment will be in danger. They might even be wiped out."
