Chapter 455 The arrival of the Kwantung Army

Author: Star Traveler

"If that's the case, then just follow the orders of the superior department." Chu Yunfei shook his head melancholy and said.

After all, as a soldier, if he had no choice but to do so, he would not choose to retreat at all, but the enemy's strength was too strong. Although the 358th Regiment was a strengthened regiment, in the face of the menacing Japanese, it could only act as a chariot with its arms at best, and could not play a role at all.

any effect.

He didn't want the troops he personally led to be eaten up in such a confused manner. At this time, there was no other way but to retreat. He had no confidence at all to use a regiment of troops to compete head-on with the Japanese.

Fan.

"Yes, regimental leader, I will gather the troops right away." Fang Ligong agreed after hearing Chu Yunfei's words, then turned around and left the room to gather the troops, fearing that Chu Yunfei would regret it if his brain got hot.

"Brother Yunlong, wish yourself good luck." Chu Yunfei said to himself as he watched Fang Ligong leave.

Although Chu Yunfei admits that Li Yunlong's new regiment has strong combat effectiveness, the Japanese are not weak in combat effectiveness, and they have also transferred two divisions from the Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the army, so Chu Yunfei is fundamentally optimistic about Li Yunlong.

.

Soon, under Chu Yunfei's order, Fang Ligong had the 358th Regiment assemble urgently, and then quickly evacuated his defense area.

However, during the evacuation, they did not take away the civilians in their defense area, nor did they notify them. They evacuated quietly. This was their normal operation. After all, with so many people, there would definitely be a lot of noise.

His traces will definitely be discovered by interested people, which is something Chu Yunfei doesn't want to see.

However, although Chu Yunfei kept silent, he still did not hide it from Li Yunlong and the others.

"Commander, the forward scouts sent news that the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has evacuated, and their station is now empty." A guard hurriedly ran into the headquarters of the new regiment and faced the people who were studying the map.

Li Yunlong said.

"What, Chu Yunfei ran away?" Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard the news. Although Li Yunlong didn't expect Chu Yunfei to help, he didn't expect him to run away, so he felt a little surprised when he heard the news.

"Yes, captain, the investigators have confirmed that Chu Yunfei's station is currently empty." The guard said to Li Yunlong again.

Hearing the guard's words, Li Yunlong frowned. Although Chu Yunfei's station had been evacuated from Ping'an County before, he did not go far. The new station is on the edge of Ping'an County. If the 358th Regiment's station was occupied by the Japanese,

If it is taken over, it will definitely be a threat to my new group in the future.

So Li Yunlong thought for a while and said: "Go and call the political commissar over and tell him that I have important matters to discuss with him." Li Yunlong said to the guard soldier.

"Yes, captain, I will call the political commissar right away." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, the guard agreed, then turned around and walked out.

After a while, the guards and soldiers brought Zhao Gang in.

"I said, Lao Li, what's going on in such a hurry? You can't wait for a while." Zhao Gang entered the room, sat down, took a drink of water, then raised his head and asked Li Yunlong.

Because now the people in the entire New Regiment's defense area have been mobilized and evacuated by him, Zhao Gang is very busy now, so busy that he barely has time to take a rest.

"Old Zhao, isn't this an emergency? It's like this. Chu Yunfei ran away with the 358th Regiment. Now their station is empty. The purpose of calling you here is to let you mobilize the 358th Regiment's defense area.

Take the common people inside and evacuate with them." Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang, and also told him the purpose of calling him here.

"What, Chu Yunfei ran away? Old Li, is there an error in the intelligence? I feel that Chu Yunfei is not that kind of person?" After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang felt that there might be something wrong. He had also met Chu Yunfei.

After meeting several times, I had a good impression of Chu Yunfei. This man was not only educated but also went to a military academy. Duan Ran would not do such a thing.

Even if you want to leave, you still have to inform them anyway. After all, both sides are friendly forces now.

"Don't excuse him. The investigators have determined that there is no one in the 358th Regiment's camp. This is not because he ran away. The main problem now is to evacuate the people in the area where he was released. He must not be left behind.

In the hands of the Japanese." Li Yunlong said with a heavy tone. Although he still didn't want to believe it, it was the fact.

But if you run away, just run away. Li Yunlong can understand after thinking about it. After all, Chu Yunfei is not stupid, he is a man, but he is a bit inferior in some aspects. Facing an invincible enemy, in order to preserve his strength

, escape is not the way out.

And it's not all bad that Chu Yunfei left. In this way, Li Yunlong doesn't have to worry about the 358th Regiment stabbing him in the back. Although Li Yunlong believes that Chu Yunfei can't do such a thing, he has to be on guard. After all, the 358th Regiment also

It's not Chu Yunfei who has the final say.

Hearing Li Yunlong's confirmation, Zhao Gang said: "Okay, I will go to the defense area of ​​the 358th Regiment to mobilize the people there and see if they are willing to follow us to evacuate. But you also know that we belong to different groups after all."

Factions, the people there may not believe us, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

It's not surprising that Zhao Gang thinks too much. After all, the two sides have different ways of governing the people in their respective jurisdictions, so Zhao Gang needs to give Li Yunlong a defensive shot in advance to prevent Li Yunlong from getting angry at him when he gets angry.

"Old Zhao, I know all this. You should explain the matter clearly to the local people. As for whether you want to leave, then let them do it. If you are willing to leave, our new group will take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you are not willing to leave,

Then we have nothing to do, let's just leave it to fate." Li Yunlong sighed and said.

Of course he understood what Zhao Gang meant, but if they insisted on staying, he had no choice. After all, he couldn't tie them away.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements now." After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he was about to go out.

"Wait a minute, Lao Zhao, let the monk go with you. I'm afraid the situation will be complicated. Safety comes first. You are the political commissar of our regiment. There are still many things waiting for you to arrange. You must not have any accidents." Li Yunlong

Uneasy, he stopped Zhao Gang and said.

"No need, Old Li. It's not the territory of the Japs. What accidents can happen to me? Besides, I'm not a scholar without any force." Zhao Gang said with some disapproval, thinking that Li Yunlong was making a fuss out of a molehill. Now is an extraordinary period.

The manpower here is not rich. As the only elite team of the new regiment, Wei Dayong and the others still have many tasks to do.

"Old Zhao, you can't say that. It's better to be careful when you go out. Let the monk arrange for a few people to follow you. That way, I can rest assured." Li Yunlong said seriously to Zhao Gang.

Seeing Li Yunlong say this, Zhao Gang did not dare to refuse, but could only nod in agreement, because Zhao Gang knew that Li Yunlong did this for his own good.

After Zhao Gang left, Li Yunlong said to Huzi who was standing guard at the door: "Huzi, go and send someone to inform the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment about the retreat of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and let Lao Kong and Lao Ding pay attention to it.

point."

"Yes, Commander, I will send someone to notify Commander Kong and Commander Ding right away." After hearing Li Yunlong's instructions, Huzi agreed and turned around and left the room.

"Telegraph the brigade commander and the brigade commander about our situation here and explain it to them to avoid unnecessary disputes later." After Huzi left, Li Yunlong said to the staff officer on the side.

"I know the captain, I'll go now." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, the staff officer also got up and left the room.

Li Yunlong arranged things and went to do his own thing, because it didn't matter whether Chu Yunfei was there or not, or whether his 358 regiment helped or not, it didn't matter to Li Yunlong. After all, everything had to depend on himself, and he could only control his destiny.

You can rest assured if you have it in your own hands.

At the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters, Kusuyama Hideyoshi was reporting to Yoshio Shinozuka on the preparations for this battle.

"Your Excellency, Commander, all the participating troops have been assembled and can launch an attack on the new first regiment, new second regiment and independent regiment of the 386th Brigade in Southwest Shanxi at any time, and combat materials have been prepared." Kusuyama Hideyoshi faced Xiao

Reported by Yoshio Tsuka.

His face was indescribably excited. After all, so many troops were dispatched this time. Although it felt a bit like cannons swatting mosquitoes, this was after all a new group that had repeatedly defeated their First Army before. Even if they took it seriously, they couldn't take it too seriously.

.

"Yo Xi." Upon hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio responded happily.

"Did nothing happen in the meantime?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked again.

"Except for a few transport trucks that were blown up by the Eighth Route Army while transporting supplies, there was no other damage. Everything is normal." Kusuyama Hideyoshi replied to Shinozuka Yoshio.

In fact, after Brigadier Chen learned of the Japs' actions, he began to send troops to block the Japs' material transport team. However, Kusuyama Hideyoshi had already prepared and arranged the transportation routes to avoid the Eighth Route Army's defense areas.

The Jinsui Army and the Central Army did not care about the Japanese transport vehicles passing through their defense areas, just as they had discussed with the Japanese before.

It is always inconvenient to carry out activities on other people's territory, and it is impossible to go deep behind enemy lines. After all, the brigade commander is also afraid that the Japanese will dig holes for him to fish.

"Nanshan Jun, the two divisions transferred from the Northeast will arrive this afternoon. They are the 21st Division and the 22nd Division. You go to Taiyuan Railway Station to meet them, and then arrange for the soldiers to renovate the two divisions.

By the end of the day, we can attack the 386th Brigade. We must wipe out all of them this time, especially Li Yunlong's new regiment, otherwise this unit will definitely become a serious problem for us." Shinozuka Yoshio told Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

road.

It’s not to blame Yoshio Shinozuka for making a fuss. After all, during this period, Li Yunlong led the new group and its strength grew too rapidly, which had caused him uneasiness.

"Don't worry, Commander, with the addition of the 21st Division and the 22nd Division, it will be very easy to eliminate Li Yunlong's new regiment." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said with a smile, after all, these are two

The strength of the division is still the Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the army. If it can't even take down a little Li Yunlong, then he might as well go home and have his child.

"By the way, Your Excellency Commander, we have received news that the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has retreated. Do you think we should find him and eliminate him?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi thought of something and said again.

"Oh, they retreated." Yoshio Shinozuka was a little surprised. He had also heard of this unit and knew that the leader Chu Yunfei was different from other officers of the Jinsui Army. He was a stubborn anti-Japanese element.

"Hai, the 358th Regiment started to retreat today, and the speed is very fast." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said.

Hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio smiled and didn't care about Chu Yunfei's departure: "It seems that he is afraid that we will take care of him along with him. Since he is self-aware, let's forget it this time.

At present, we still focus on eliminating the 386th Brigade and Li Yunlong."

"Then, should we send troops to enter their defense area?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi asked.

After hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio thought for a while and said: "No, now we still focus on destroying the Eighth Route Army, and don't create extraneous problems. It will not be too late to occupy the 386th Brigade and Li Yunlong after they are eliminated."

"Hai, I know what to do, Commander."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go down. As the military commander of this war, there are still many things waiting for you to arrange." Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand and said.

"Hai, please rest assured, Commander, I will arrange all these things." After saying this, Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned and left the headquarters. After all, he still had a lot to do in the next work.

In the afternoon, the two divisions of the Kwantung Army arrived in Taiyuan. Kusuyama Hideyoshi settled them in and immediately held a military meeting.

On the Eighth Route Army side, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and the brigade commander all received news that the Kwantung Army had arrived in Taiyuan. So they quickly accelerated their actions and prepared to meet the enemy.

Two days later, the Kwantung Army of the two divisions deployed their troops near Anhua County, Heyuan County and Pingan County according to the pre-planned battle plan, preparing to attack the hostile forces in the three counties.

The arrival of the Kwantung Army made Muto Sanshi the happiest person, because the defense work in these three counties was completed by their 69th Division. Although he communicated with the new regiment privately and paid some price, in exchange for

Let both sides live in peace.

But doing so is always a last resort. After all, no one is willing to leave their destiny in the hands of others. It was a last resort before, but the situation is different now.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the two divisions of the Kwantung Army from Taiyuan have arrived. It is estimated that they will launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army soon. We can finally take advantage of this opportunity to deal with the threat to us from the new regiment." Muto San

Bei's adjutant said to him happily. At this time, his confidence had blossomed. Since the last time the new regiment besieged the county town, they had been panicking, fearing that Li Yunlong would have a seizure and launch an attack on the county town.
