The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 463 Blocking War

Author: Star Traveler

"Regiment seat, the troops of the Eighth Route Army are not under the control of the Chairman. Although there are three divisions, six brigades and twelve infantry regiments on the surface, no one knows secretly how many troops they have in each regiment." Fang Ligong helped.

He adjusted his glasses and continued: "According to the report from the forward observation post, the New Regiment sent a total of eight troops this time, each with almost 3,000 people. Normally, it must be excessive, but even if we know that he is not in compliance with the rules, we will not care.

Can’t reach the other party.”

"So, doesn't Li Yunlong's new regiment have more than 20,000 people?" Chu Yunfei asked in disbelief after hearing Fang Ligong's words.

This is not the size of a regiment. There are not so many people in a division of the Central Army. How dare Li Yunlong.

"Regiment seat, according to intelligence, there are indeed so many troops in the new regiment." Fang Ligong sighed and said, although he didn't want to believe it, but the facts are here, even if he doesn't believe it, what's the use?

.

"It's really unbelievable. Although I've known for a long time that Li Yunlong is a good team leader, I didn't expect it to develop so fast. No wonder the principal has always regarded these guys as life and death enemies. It's not unreasonable." After hearing this, Fang Ligong

Chu Yunfei looked a little melancholy and worried at the same time. After all, according to the progress of the Eighth Route Army in pulling up troops, it would be enough in two or three years. Maybe the force would surpass the Central Army and even drive out the little Japs.

, a civil war will definitely break out.

"Team leader, this kind of thing is not something we should worry about. We should hand over the information to our superiors and let the officers decide what to do. Maybe this is also a good thing for us." Fang Ligong smiled.

said.

"Oh, brother Ligong, how do you say this?" Chu Yunfei felt a little different when he heard Fang Ligong's words, and he didn't understand. Isn't it a bad thing for him that Li Yunlong is stronger? After all, the troops of both sides are so close.

The reason why the superiors did not withdraw their 358th Regiment from southwest Shanxi was because they intended to deploy near the Eighth Route Army so that Chu Yunfei's 358th and other Shanxi-Sui Army could tie up the Eighth Route Army. But under the current circumstances, let alone the 358th Regiment.

If he fails to complete the task, he will become meat on the chopping board of the new group. As long as he dares to make any changes, Li Yunlong can eat one of his groups with just a little movement.

Even though the 358th Regiment was a strengthened regiment, and its superiors allocated an artillery battalion to it, its strength was less than 5,000, which was not even a little bit worse than the New Regiment.

"Regiment leader, in this situation, if the commander-in-chief wants our 358th regiment to play its role, we must raise the level of our regiment to at least the division level, so that we can fulfill the expectations the commander-in-chief has for us.

Otherwise, our 358th regiment will have to withdraw from southwestern Shanxi."

It’s not surprising that Fang Ligong’s thoughts are too beautiful, the reality is just like this.

"Brother Ligong, from what you said, it's really possible." Chu Yunfei thought for a while, and the current situation was indeed as Fang Ligong said. If he thought about it, he might be a blessing in disguise. But this

There were more important things at the time. He still didn't know why Li Yunlong mobilized so many troops. Could it be that he wanted to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army? So he thought for a while and said: "Brother Li Yunlong, let's not talk about this now. Let's wait.

The situation is reported to the senior officers. The decision is still up to the senior officers. What we should be concerned about now is Li Yunlong's command. He mobilized so many troops here, and it is definitely not for a tour. What is his purpose? We must

Figure it out.”

"Li Yunlong's troops should be heading towards the 21st Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army. According to the report from the frontline observation post, eight troops of the new regiment have surrounded the 21st Division. I guess it won't take long.

It should be time to launch an attack." After hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Fang Ligong took off his eyes and wiped them.

Most of his thoughts now are focused on whether the senior officer department will upgrade the 358th regiment. After all, as the regiment's chief of staff, if Chu Yunfei is promoted, then he will definitely be promoted, which is also a good thing for him.

And the possibility of this is very high. After all, as a Huangpu student and a disciple of the Emperor, it is very possible for Chu Yunfei to be appointed as a division commander.

After hearing that Fang Ligong said that Li Yunlong was going to attack the Japanese 21st Division, he quickly walked to the sand table and started studying it.

Looking at the several Japanese forces in front of the sand table, his mind couldn't help but start thinking. If he said he didn't want to be promoted, it would be a lie. However, his 358th regiment had just lost a battle before. Although it didn't matter, after all, the strength of the Japanese army was there.

Losing a battle is also normal.

But now is indeed a critical moment. If you want to move up the level, you must have outstanding performance. Although the 358th Regiment cannot defeat the Japanese army in a head-on battle, it will still be no problem if it blocks the attack.

"Tuanzuo, do you have any ideas?" Fang Ligong asked with some strangeness in his heart as he watched Chu Yunfei's movements.

"Well, Brother Ligong, this is what I think. No matter what our relationship with the Eighth Route Army will be in the future, it is still a period of cooperation. Since Li Yunlong wants a little devil to fight with him, why should our 358th Group help him?"

Field." Chu Yunfei looked at the map and said: "Li Yunlong made such a big move and even we got the information. There is no reason that the Japanese army can't discover it. It's impossible to say that reinforcements are already on the way."

"Tanzuo, do you want to..."

"That's right, although our strength is not as good as that of the Japs, if they want to pass by our defense area, we can't let them go no matter what. Then one of the Japs will inevitably take action." Chu Yunfei said without raising his head while looking at the map.

"Tour Leader, this..., why don't we report it to our superiors?"

"No, it's not like we are taking the initiative. The kid has already arrived at our door. No matter what he is going to do, we can't let him pass even if he goes to pay homage to his birthday." Chu Yunfei said firmly.

He also wanted to use this battle to wash away the previous defeats. Only in this way can he get the attention of the superior officers, and it would be much easier to be promoted to division commander.

…………

The new group of soldiers outside Pinggu were all ready and launched an attack on the Japanese at Li Yunlong's order.

The first is the artillery battery, with dozens of artillery pieces of various sizes, firing shells crazily towards the enemy's positions.

Although the artillery company is still a company-level organization, its size has long reached the level of a battalion. He was just afraid of attracting others' attention, so Li Yunlong always called the artillery company according to its level.

After all, even the new regiment is still a regiment until now, and the eight battalions clearly have regiment-level troops, but they are also called a battalion.

If you want to develop in a wretched way, it's not time for them to explode.

The bombardment lasted for more than half an hour. Although the Japanese artillery unit also fired back, it did not cause any losses to the New Regiment.

After the bombardment ended, Li Yunlong gave an order, and the troops of the eight battalions, regardless of whether they were main attackers or assisters, rushed towards the Japanese position together.

Soldiers from the Eighth Route Army from all directions soon fought against the Japanese. Although the individual soldiers of the Japanese were much better than the soldiers of the New Regiment, the New Regiment had an absolute advantage in strength.

The two sides fought back and forth on the battlefield, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

The Japanese reinforcements were already halfway there, but they were blocked by the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. It would take a lot of hard work to get here before the 21st Division was completely annihilated.

But the 21st Division had to be saved for the Japanese army. After all, they could not afford to lose so many troops all at once. Moreover, if the 21st Division was destroyed, the other three troops would also be in danger. So.

Regardless of whether it was out of death or public concern, the 21st Division had to save him.

So the Japanese went crazy and kept attacking the defense areas of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Some troops even took a detour and planned to pass through Chu Yunfei's defense area. After all, they knew the virtues of the 358th Regiment, and they would definitely not come out to obstruct it. After all, Chu Yunfei had just suffered a defeat at their hands a few days ago. In the end,

Only after Yan Xishan came forward did they let go of the 358th Regiment. Otherwise, they might not have the 358th Regiment now.

After all, the Jinsui Army owed them a favor. It shouldn't be a problem to pass by the 358th Regiment's defense area this time. After all, their target this time is not the other party.

But it didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. Chu Yunfei not only rejected their request, but also shot the person they sent to make peace.

How could the arrogant Japanese soldiers tolerate this? How could they tolerate such an insult from a defeated subordinate? Not to mention that the 21st Division was now in danger and was waiting for their support.

And even if they turn around and go back the same way and go another way, they may not have enough time.

So neither side gave in, and the battle was about to break out.

"Leader, should we explain the situation to the superiors now? If we fight the Japanese in such an unclear way, we will just pay back if we win. If we get rich..." Fang Ligong lay on the ground that he had dug before.

In the trench, he suggested to Chu Yunfei with a nervous look on his face.

He was able to come to the 358th regiment as chief of staff because the chief officer's department wanted to monitor Chu Yunfei. After all, Chu Yunfei was a Huangpu student and Chairman Chiang's favorite disciple, and he was not of the same mind as the Jinsui Army.

"There's no need to worry about it. Let's wait until we have beaten back the enemy. Don't worry, brother, if the superior officer punishes you, I, Chu Yunfei, will bear the responsibility alone and I will definitely not affect you." Chu Yunfei also knew that Fang was in trouble.

The position of meritorious service then spoke out to comfort him.

After speaking, he shouted to the guard beside him: "Go and tell the artillery battalion not to save artillery shells. Even if they shoot out all the artillery shells, they will not be able to let the enemy advance one step further."

"Yes, regimental commander, I'm going to inform the brothers in the artillery battalion." After hearing Chu Yunfei's words, the guard turned and left, going down to deliver the order.

Fang Ligong on the side also sighed softly. Although he did not support Chu Yunfei's approach, he did not say much. After all, Chu Yunfei had been getting along for so long since he came to the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

At that time, he still admired Chu Yunfei as a person. Although sometimes Chu Yunfei was a bit domineering and self-willed, it was undeniable that Chu Yunfei had a special personality charm.

He knew that Chu Yunfei was a pure soldier, and he had a military temperament in him.

…………

At this time, they were inside the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan City.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the map and frowned. There have been many accidents since the war started. The reason why it is at this point has something to do with him as the commander.

He failed to integrate the troops in time, which gave Li Yunlong a way to concentrate his troops and defeat them one by one.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram was sent from the front line. The various units that went to reinforce the 21st Division were blocked by the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. The situation is not optimistic." Kusuyama Hideyoshi walked over with the telegram.

Yoshio Shinozuka reports from Qianhui.

"What's going on? Why are we being blocked by the Jinsui Army? Didn't we have an agreement with them? Do they want to break the agreement?" After hearing Kusuyama Hideyoshi's words, Shinozuka Yoshio turned around and asked.

In order to concentrate on dealing with the Eighth Route Army, he had contacted Yan Xishan privately, and the two parties agreed that when they dealt with the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army would never come out to cause trouble.

After all, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese were both serious problems for the national army, and they were happy to see both sides fighting to the death, so they could stand aside and reap the benefits.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka was very surprised when he heard that the troops who went to reinforce the 21st Division were blocked by the Jinsui Army.

"The one who is blocking us is the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. The leader is Chu Yunfei. This man is a graduate of Huangpu College." Kusuyama Hideyoshi told the information he received one by one.

"It's the 358th regiment again. This regiment had a conflict with us before. In the end, their commander interceded with us and let him go. Unexpectedly, he didn't repent and set us up again." Shinozuka Yoshio.

I was a little angry in my heart. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have wiped out this army directly.

If this were the case, where would the current troubles be?

"Nanshan-kun, send a telegram to the front line, asking them to quickly break through the enemy's defense zone to support the 21st Division at all costs, otherwise I'm worried that the 21st Division will not be able to hold on." Yoshio Shinozuka said worriedly.

He also knows the current situation in the country. Since the opening of the Pacific Battlefield, in addition to being very smooth and unstoppable at the beginning, this advantage only lasted for more than a year. However, now the country is also weak, and not only cannot it send troops to support the China battlefield,

Moreover, many front-line troops were mobilized from the China battlefield to support the Pacific battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield.

This put them in a passive defense zone situation on the China battlefield. Each unit was particularly important. If the strength of these two divisions were eaten up by the Eighth Route Army.

In this situation, it will be even more difficult for them to make a difference. Even if other battlefields are victorious, completely occupying China will become an impossible task.
