138. Chapter 138 The Japanese Army offered a reward to Chen Ziyun

 Chapter 138 The Moon Army offers a reward to Chen Ziyun

The puppet army organized troops in an attempt to carry out fire interception, but they were not dispersed and stationed in different areas.

At this time, as the gun towers and bunkers were destroyed one after another, the puppet troops were not allowed to move to the trenches to fight.

However, Chen Ziyun commanded two infantry battalions and an artillery battalion to launch a large-scale attack operation.

During those months, the puppet troops were unable to support each other and fought alone. They were attacked by three battalions, but they were completely able to defeat them.

Does the Eastern Infantry Battalion of the 48th Independent Brigade currently have three infantry companies and one machine gun company?

Each infantry company is equipped with nine light machine guns, nine submachine guns, three grenade launchers, and more than 100 rifles.

The machine gun battery is equipped with four heavy machine guns and two moon-type 90MM mortars.

Wu Ziqiang commanded the 5th Battalion of Independent Infantry, and Shi Yujian commanded the 6th Battalion of Independent Infantry to charge in succession.

The artillery battalion has six Bofors mountain guns and two Liao-made field guns, otherwise the observation team will lead eastward to launch continuous artillery bombardments.

Especially the two Liao-made field guns, because they have detailed shooting parameter tables, can they hit where they are pointed?

Currently, the First Army in Shanxi Province is asking whether it can rely on bunkers and gun towers to control the occupied areas.

Because the active Eighth Route Army lacked heavy weapons, it was difficult for them to quickly destroy those bunkers and gun towers.

The Yue puppet troops stayed in the bunkers and blocked the attack of the Eighth Route Army, which was enough to give other troops time to rush for reinforcements.

However, whether Chen Ziyun's army they were facing now was strong and well-equipped with weapons and equipment.

Chen Ziyun's large-scale offensive operations left the Yue puppet army with no extra troops to mobilize.

The bunkers and gun towers they relied on for survival and defense were successively destroyed by mountain artillery and field artillery attacks.

The number of casualties among the Japanese puppet troops continues to increase. Faced with such an attack, they have almost no way to respond.

At around ten o'clock, Chen Ziyun directly arranged for the guard company to attack according to the battlefield situation.

The guard company's four infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon quickly broke through.

They broke through the obstruction of the puppet troops from the combat center and easily reached the area west of the railway.

Immediately afterwards, each platoon, under the command of company commander Chu Yu, quickly attacked the north and south sides, cooperating with the frontal attack troops to launch operations.

The guard company's weapons and equipment are more sophisticated. They have numerous submachine guns, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns and mortars to support operations.

Those officers and soldiers have already reached the level of elite troops, and the puppet army has almost no room for improvement when they attack the east.

Jin-made submachine guns fired one after another, and Type 38 rifles continued to provide cover.

One light machine gun after another and one grenade launcher after another, the Moon and puppet troops who were exposed by mistake launched precise suppression.

If you encounter some difficult fire points, there will be two Type 92 heavy machine guns and two 81MM mortars to solve them.

The guard company continued to attack on the flanks, and the trenches held by the puppet troops were broken through one after another.

A large number of troops from the two infantry battalions began to pass through the blockade ditch and came directly to the trench, killing all the remaining Japs.

By eleven o'clock, more than 500 Yue puppet troops had been killed alone.

Such a large amount of losses can be described as very heavy.

The Ninth Battalion Headquarters of the Xinxian Independent Infantry received a report from the front line. The Major Captain had a solemn face and rushed to make the report.

After the independent mixed third brigade headquarters received the news, they currently had no extra troops, so they rushed to contact the army headquarters.

The Sato detachment formed by the First Army, please ask whether it can be transferred into an independent and combined unit of the Third Brigade.

So now that the independent mixed third brigade has no way to mobilize troops, they can ask the military headquarters to mobilize the Sato detachment for support.

The Moon Army troops were reporting level by level, and at the rear of the battlefield, Li Yunlong and more than a thousand people were watching the battle.

Li Yunlong came to a high ground and raised his telescope to observe the combat situation ahead.

When he saw the bunkers and turrets being knocked down one by one, his eyes were shining brightly and his face was full of excitement.

"Hey, hey, can those turrets and bunkers of the Lunar Army be the magic weapon of our troops? Can they be used in artillery strikes? Then they are just living targets."

"Is it possible for our army to have enough artillery? Those bunkers and turrets have been solved long ago. Did the 48th Independent Brigade help us a lot?"

"Let's take a closer look. The Shanxi-Sui Army is not simple. Their infantry and artillery can coordinate very well."

"If you see those troops equipped with a large number of submachine guns, can Chu Yunfei's guard company be their ace?"

"Their cooperation with the artillery is the most perfect. We must learn from it!"

Li Yunlong observed the frontline combat situation again and again and said to the cadres around him.

The cadres all raised their binoculars to check and looked at the artillery shells fired at the puppet troops one after another. They looked envious.

Especially the cadres of the Fourth Battalion of the New Second Regiment and the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Regiment, they all dreamed of having a few mountain cannons in their own troops.

Of course, even if Li Yunlong's new regiment is not present, they only have six mortars, but they do not have mountain artillery and field artillery.

The only two infantry guns were taken away by the brigade commander and incorporated into the brigade artillery company.

Li Yunlong led his cadres to watch the battle from the side and rear, but soon, through the report of the reconnaissance unit, Li Yunlong found the fighter plane.

Without any hesitation, he set off immediately with his troops.

It is true that the Ninth Independent Infantry Brigade does not have many troops to deploy, but Chen Ziyun's troops are threatening the railway.

The major captain mobilized troops from all over and assembled more than a hundred people, preparing to quickly move towards the battlefield to support them.

However, the more than 100 troops were discovered by a new reconnaissance group before they got close to the battlefield.

At this time, Li Yunlong commanded the troops to advance quickly, preparing to launch an annihilation operation without the reinforcements of the puppet army that had been available for more than a hundred months.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, at the headquarters of the First Army.

Major General Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi quickly came to the army commander Yoshio Shinozuka. After saluting, he quickly reported.

"Commander Ge Dong, according to the report of the independent mixed third brigade, a large number of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army troops have appeared in the Xin County area to the north of Taiyuan."

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has more than 2,000 troops, and they have begun to attack the bunkers and gun towers west of the railway."

"Currently, together with the Imperial Alliance Army, they have suffered hundreds of casualties. Moreover, the Shanxi-Sui Army has a large number of artillery support operations, and the gun towers and bunkers have been destroyed one after another."

"Based on the report from the Third Independent Mixed Brigade, it is very likely that Chen Ziyun can command the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard the report, he quickly came to the map with a solemn expression on his face.

After the report was given by the section chief of the second section, Yoshio Shinozuka attached great importance to it.

He knew that an attack by the 48th Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army would most likely pose a threat to his troops.

Therefore, he specially organized two combat detachments to prepare for the Shanxi-Sui Army troops.

However, as soon as the war started, the wrong side caused hundreds of casualties to the puppet troops and destroyed a large number of gun towers and bunkers.

What's more, they directly threatened the Tongpu Railway, which surprised Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Chen Ziyun graduated from the Army Artillery College. He is a so-called disciple of the emperor, and he fully received a German-style education."

"He has advanced artillery concepts, and through analysis of the battle, Chen Ziyun has strong command capabilities."

"Furthermore, the front army headquarters has informed that Chen Ziyun is currently serving as the infantry artillery commander of the 48th Independent Brigade."

"According to the analysis of the front army intelligence agency, among the 48th Independent Brigade, Chen Ziyun is second only to Chu Yunfei."

"It's obviously not natural for him to command that army to fight!"

Yoshio Shinozuka pointed at the map and said with a cold expression on his face.

Up to now, intelligence agencies at both the Lunar Army Front and the First Army are trying their best to find out the intelligence of Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and Chen Ziyun.

Chen Ziyun was born in the Artillery College, so it is not difficult to get information about him.

After various investigations by the Yue Army, Chen Ziyun's situation has probably been grasped by the Yue Army.

They also understood why Chu Yunfei had such a powerful artillery force in the east.

"Commander Ge Dong, Chen Ziyun is the core of the 48th Independent Brigade Artillery. Please kill him. It will be a devastating blow to the 48th Independent Brigade Artillery."

"The increase in the combat effectiveness of the Chu Yunfei Independent 48th Brigade was largely due to the artillery unit. If their artillery was damaged, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced."

"He believes that when the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment are brought in from the east to fight, the first goal should be to kill Chen Ziyun!"

Kusuyama Hideyoshi thought for a while, and then he made a direct suggestion.

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded directly after hearing this, he agreed very much.

"Order the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment to immediately attack along the railway as planned!"

"Contact Captain Sato and Captain Harada in the name of the military headquarters and ask them to fight with caution and not to underestimate the enemy in the slightest."

"At the same time, I beg them to inflict heavy damage on the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and ensure that the Tong-Pu Railway is smooth and safe!"

"In addition, send a message to all imperial troops and Imperial Association Army troops in Jin Province!"

"Whoever kills Chen Ziyun will be rewarded with 50,000 yuan and be promoted to two levels!"

"Whoever captures Chen Ziyun will be rewarded with 70,000 yuan and be promoted to the third level!"

After pondering for a moment, Yoshio Shinozuka quickly issued the battle order with a serious expression on his face.

In order to weaken the combat effectiveness of the 48th Independent Brigade, the First Army Headquarters issued a valuable bounty.

Chief of Staff Hideyoshi Kusuyama received the order and began to arrange communications staff Higashikata.

At around 11:30 in the morning, the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment began to advance rapidly along the railway from the north and south areas respectively.

The ninth independent infantry battalion of the Yue Army in Xin County also gathered all its remaining few troops on the battlefield in an attempt to contain Chen Ziyun's troops.

In those months, the puppet troops were attacked one after another by troops commanded by Chen Ziyun and Li Yunlong.

At 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the Yue puppet troops received a major blow and were forced to flee in all directions.

Each ministry immediately began to clean the battlefield, collect weapons, ammunition, and military supplies to collect the spoils of war for each ministry.

"Commander, do we want to blow up the railway directly?"

At 12:15, Chen Ziyun came to the front line to check the situation. Wu Ziqiang and Shi Yu frame came to Chen Ziyun and asked directly.

Many of the blockhouses and artillery towers west of the railway were destroyed, and the Tongpu Railway was completely exposed to the eyes of the Tellurian troops.

Now we ask the troops to take action to see if they can easily destroy the railway.

Chen Ziyun does not intend to do that. If the railway is destroyed, the Japanese war supplies will most likely be transported through other routes.

According to the information provided by the system, there will be combat materials transported from the railway to the southern front line in the near future. Can Chen Ziyun prepare for the shipment of this batch of materials?

If the railway is cut off and the Lunar Army asks if they can take other routes, the system's information will be of no value.

So Chen Ziyun simply shook his head and rejected the proposal of the two battalion commanders.

"Commander, a large number of reinforcements from the Lunar Army are coming from too far away. According to the report of the cavalry scouts they sent out, there are at least 4,000 Lunar Army troops."

"Those Lunar Army troops are advancing there quickly along the railway. They are moving very fast and they can get there by two o'clock in the morning at the latest."

"Commander, can the cavalry company please assemble and harass them to slow down their march?"

At this time, Zhang Wu, the commander of the cavalry company, came on horseback. He was ten meters away from Chen Ziyun. He quickly stopped his horse and hurried over to report.

The Sato detachment is currently in an area too far away, so it is very close to there, so it can reach the battlefield quickly.

"The reaction speed of the Moon Army is not too slow. They have more than 4,000 troops and have an advantage. We don't have to fight them head-on."

"After the troops cleaned the battlefield, they quickly assembled and moved north to see how the Moon Army troops reacted."

"Captain Zhang, our cavalry will continue to expand the scope of investigation and report any situation immediately."

Chen Ziyun said directly with a serious expression on his face.

Facing the reinforcements of more than 4,000 Yuan troops, Chen Ziyun did not intend to confront them head-on.

After all, he has more than 2,000 people on his side, so he has no advantage in terms of military strength.

Moreover, Chen Ziyun observed the battle in detail and found out whether he had a clear judgment on the two independent infantry battalions.

Whether the guard company is responsible for the reserve force and protecting the safety of the artillery before deployment for combat operations.

I wonder if the two infantry battalions fought smoothly, and Chen Ziyun didn't have to send the guard company there.

It was because they were unable to resolve the battle quickly that the guard company quickly participated.

Although the two independent infantry battalions under the command of Qian Bojun were both direct descendants of Chu Yunfei, their troops were a mixed bag.

In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not comparable to the three infantry battalions east of the 358th Regiment.

Is it because of that that Chen Ziyun cannot confront Yue Jun head-on.

Otherwise, if the two sides launch a large-scale battle, Wu Ziqiang's 5th Independent Infantry Battalion and Shi Yuzhen's 6th Independent Infantry Battalion will expose their secrets.

Even those two battalions may be defeated.

At one o'clock in the morning, after the troops of each battalion cleaned the battlefield, they quickly assembled and began to move towards the north.

Of course, Chen Ziyun doesn't know now that the troops stationed in Mongolia in northern Shanxi have also organized a combat detachment.

Moreover, the combat detachment was quickly preparing to attack Chen Ziyun's Jin-Sui army from the east.

After Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to move, Li Yunlong commanded the troops to clean up the battlefield.

After receiving the report that the Jinsui Army was moving north, Li Yunlong thought for a while, but he did not follow, but instead asked the troops to disperse and hide.

After all, whether the new first regiment, the new second regiment, or the independent regiment can assume the security work of the general headquarters, no matter how courageous Li Yunlong is, he will not dare to lead his troops too far away from the defense area.

Otherwise, once a dangerous situation occurs in the Yangcun area, they will not be able to quickly provide assistance.

If it really poses the slightest threat to the headquarters, then no one can protect Li Yunlong.
