Chapter 301 Various awards from the system (please subscribe)
In Pingyang City, an important town in southern Shanxi, in the frontline headquarters set up by the First Army.
North China Front Chief of Staff Yukio Kasahara and Deputy Chief of Staff Masakata Hirata quickly marked on the map and sand table based on the staff reports.
After the marking was completed, the two people looked at the combat situation on the eastern battlefield of Zhongtiao Mountain and couldn't help but frowning.
Their original plan to obtain victory here was to at least severely damage the Fifth Army's troops, or to encircle and annihilate the Glory First Division.
However, by now, the Glory First Division quickly evacuated towards Yuanqu City, and the Fifth Army also began to cross the Yellow River one after another.
They couldn't decide how to start the battle next.
Launch a pursuit directly towards Yuanqu City and continue to attack the Glory First Division.
With the current strength of the 36th Division and other units, it is not very possible to obtain results from the Glory First Division.
What's more, as these troops advance towards the west to attack, the stragglers previously missed in the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain may take the opportunity to escape.
It was not until after two o'clock in the afternoon that the little Japanese realized that they had been fooled, and the troops of the 37th Division quickly began to withdraw.
Moreover, people kept coming quickly and met them directly.
At around eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun led his troops out of Zhongtiao Mountain.
"After the Zhangwu Cavalry Battalion and Xie Yunxia Special Agent Battalion completed their missions, they immediately withdrew to Yuanqu City and reunited with the main force of the division."
But now that he personally commanded the battle, he realized how difficult the Glory First Division was.
He had two rifles on his waist, two medium-sized rifles on his back, and a Czech light machine gun on his shoulder.
"We must take action in advance to bring these stragglers together immediately."
It is worth mentioning that Chen Ziyun's name is known to these officers and soldiers.
The Second Division of the Imperial Association Army and the Japanese army independently formed the 16th Brigade with more than 12,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and quickly advanced towards Dongyuanqu City.
The 36th Division and the 37th Division, with more than 20,000 troops, launched an all-out sweep to search for and annihilate the remaining defeated soldiers in the western part of Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for completing the task of responding to the 80th Army's retreat."
Each time, the Japs thought they could capture their main force and annihilate them, but each time they were able to quickly evacuate the battlefield.
At this time, the little Japanese troops were forced to temporarily stop the attack.
Chief of Staff He Jingzhi asked Wei Junru to immediately contact the Glory First Division and ask them to immediately escort the sheltered troops across the river and return them to their original establishment.
Immediately afterwards, these troops began to assemble on the line from Hengling Pass to Yuanqu City, directly responsible for the defense and garrison tasks in this area.
After arriving at the north bank, two divisions with more than 20,000 troops launched a dragnet-like sweep.
However, Chen Ziyun and his mobile regiment had already conducted searches in advance. At this time, their force of more than 2,000 people had grown to about 5,000 people.
Instead, the bat's mouth emits a sound that only their ears can hear. This sound is ultrasonic.
As for the remaining more than a hundred cavalry, they were either killed or seriously injured and fell to the ground.
These cannonballs range from six to seven kilograms in weight to over ten kilograms in weight.
Obviously, this is a benefit indirectly given to Chen Ziyun by the system.
"The system rewards the host for treasure-hunting ultrasonic skills."
At four o'clock, the 37th Division temporarily stopped its mopping up, and they began to assemble the main force for the attack.
The troops quickly attacked, and the killed horses began to become a delicacy in the mouths of the officers and soldiers.
"The little Japanese troops are gathering towards the north bank. They will definitely conduct a dragnet-style search and completely annihilate the stragglers of the Fifth Group Army."
After learning that the Japanese and puppet troops were dividing their forces, Chen Ziyun immediately deduced their battle plan.
They directly attacked the Japanese troops on the east side. The 37th Division was attacked and was forced to launch a combat strike.
With the fight reaching this level, Yukio Kasahara had no choice but to seek help from Yoshio Shinozuka.
At present, the artillery regiment has eighteen mountain guns and twelve field guns!
At this time, the base ammunition for mountain artillery is one hundred shells, and the base ammunition for field artillery is eighty shells.
"Even though the Third Army, 14th Army, and 80th Army under the Fifth Group Army crossed the Yellow River and moved to the south bank, they have already suffered heavy losses."
Sakuma Shigemori's 4th Cavalry Brigade quickly advanced eastward and began to fight in the Jiangcheng area.
However, when searching for ultrasonic waves, only when they touch weapons and equipment will they be reflected back and transmitted to Chen Ziyun's ears.
After all, Yoshio Shinozuka is the commander of the First Army and has rich command and combat experience.
The battle at Zhongtiao Mountain was a battle he had carefully planned for a long time, and this battle was of great importance.
They thought they were stragglers who had been disrupted, so they quickly came over to attack.
But the artillery regiment has been fighting until now, and they have already destroyed many artillery shells.
"The system rewards the host artillery regiment with three ammunition base shells!"
"The 4th Wenxicheng Cavalry Brigade is advancing to the Jiangcheng area to contain the Eighth Route Army here."
At six o'clock in the morning, Anda 23 assembled tens of thousands of troops from the 37th Division, chasing the cavalry battalion, and the special agent battalion launched an attack.
"So I think the 36th Division and the 37th Division should stay here and carry out repeated raids to completely annihilate them."
At around nine o'clock in the morning, more than 300 little Japanese cavalry came to Wenxi City in an aggressive manner.
Not to mention the officers and soldiers, even Chen Ziyun was covered in weapons and equipment.
After these troops gathered together, Chen Ziyun dispatched a cavalry battalion to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army.
The system gave a lot of awards this time, but what made Chen Ziyun very depressed was definitely the three ammunition base shells of the artillery regiment.
The main force of the 37th Division fell short and wanted to go back and continue the sweep.
Now Chen Ziyun has finally seen what Wanguo brand weapons and equipment are!
At four o'clock, the Second Division of the Imperial Army and the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army mobilized troops to attack the cavalry battalion and the special agent battalion.
The treasure hunting ultrasound rewarded by the system is limited to use, starting at nine o'clock in the evening and ending at six o'clock in the morning.
"Especially the Glory First Division troops. They are very active on the battlefield and have brought us unexpected blows several times."
The troops of the Glory 1st Division gathered their main forces to attack with all their strength. They recaptured Hengling Pass and established contact with the independent detachment.
"If we allow them to resurgence, our fight here in the West will be a complete failure."
The Lieutenant General Commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, came to the combat sand table and observed it carefully for a while.
The mobile regiment troops commanded by Chen Ziyun have already gathered together.
"Zhang Wu, Xie Yunxia, you command the cavalry battalion and the special agent battalion to move eastward to harass the Japanese troops from the flanks."
There were more than 6,000 troops, and the number reached around 7,000 before they knew it.
However, their troops detonated landmines one after another, resulting in certain casualties and losses.
Kasahara Yukio came to Shinozuka Yoshio, and he humbly asked for advice.
These shells were in urgent need, and Chen Ziyun would take some of them no matter what.
Wei Junru believed that since these troops had been accommodated by the Glory First Division, they should stay and fight here in Zhongtiao Mountain.
Chen Ziyun also found a lot of weapons and equipment with the help of the treasure hunting ultrasound provided by the system.
At the same time, this ultrasonic wave will only be effective on weapons and equipment dropped on the ground.
It was at this time that the First War Zone Commander's Headquarters began to quarrel.
He planned to take his troops to Zijin Mountain for a while to rest and recuperate, and at the same time quickly contact Chu Yunfei to see the situation there.
Jingguan Ren and Anda Twenty-san quickly contacted the military headquarters to inquire about the next combat instructions.
This ultrasonic wave is somewhat similar to the ultrasonic wave of a bat!
Of course, the 7,000-man army is completely dispersed, but the Japs still have the advantage of aviation.
However, Chen Ziyun was well prepared and his troops were completely concealed. The Little Japanese reconnaissance plane had no harvest and directly withdrew from the battlefield.
However, if they do not pursue the Glory First Division troops and station them in Yuanqu City, they will have a greater impact on the entire battle.
At 11 o'clock in the evening on the 13th, Jun Tada began to drive to the northern part of Shanxi Province.
He reviewed Yoshio Shinozuka's proposal in detail with his staff before approving it.
However, the cavalry battalion and the special agent battalion are not soft persimmons. Even if the little devils send out one or two brigades, it will be difficult to annihilate them.
When two people have different views, it is inevitable that there will be some quarrels.
After the Little Japanese reconnaissance plane flew away, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to quickly move towards Li Yuanzhen.
Starting at nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun began to lead four reinforced battalions to search for weapons and ammunition.
"Fight here in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain. Continue to assemble the main force for attack operations to defeat the enemy forces here."
Under such circumstances, they have no other choice.
Regardless of pursuit or not, they will be in trouble.
"Detailed shooting parameter table of six Jin-made 105MM mountain cannons awarded by the system."
The 16th Brigade was independently formed, and the 2nd Army Division of the Imperial Association Army was located in the area west of Yuanqu City.
At around eight o'clock, Chen Ziyun heard the sound of the system.
However, soon after they withdrew, the special agent battalion and the cavalry battalion came back and continued to attack.
Ten minutes later, more than a hundred cavalrymen of the Japs retreated in confusion.
Various ministries began to launch operations. At two o'clock in the morning on May 14th, the cavalry battalion and the special agent battalion launched combat operations.
Other troops are responsible for security.
Chen Ziyun gathered the officers together, pointed at the map, and directly issued the combat order.
Ultrasonic waves will push forward like waves, and when they encounter obstacles, they will be reflected back and transmitted into the bat's ears.
"Although the western part of Zhongtiao Mountain was completely captured, the enemy troops here were not hit as expected."
In addition, he has fought with Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun and others several times, so he knows something about them.
"And they have a considerable number of troops remaining in various parts of the western part of Zhongtiao Mountain. These troops still pose a greater threat to us."
Just for rifles, there are Hanyang-made rifles, Type 38 rifles, medium-sized rifles, Czech-style rifles, Mauser rifles, Liao-made 13-style rifles, etc.!
Otherwise, these artillery pieces would be completely cumbersome without shells.
They are simply impossible to deal with and are very good at mobile warfare.
The 35th Division and the Imperial Army retreated to the Qinhe area east of the battlefield.
Tada Jun will not allow any mistakes, and the battle so far has completely exceeded his imagination.
The 21st and 27th Infantry Divisions gathered in the Shunwangping area.
Hundreds of heavy troops quickly evacuated on horseback. Chen Ziyun and his troops temporarily rested here in Wenxi City.
"Here in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain, should we give up or start a raid on the spot?"
Originally, he thought that Yoshio Shinozuka was incapable, which was why he was unable to obtain any results on the Nakajo Mountain battlefield.
As for the intact war horses, they were temporarily hidden.
They started from the north bank of the Yellow River and continued to search and advance towards the north, so as to find stragglers and completely annihilate them.
The little devils put hundreds of thousands of troops into battle in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the defenders here also had hundreds of thousands of troops.
The 36th Division and the 37th Division assembled their troops and came directly to the north bank of the Yellow River.
He adopted a multi-pronged attack and a strategy of dispersion and encirclement, in an attempt to encircle the two battalions and annihilate them.
They brought along the staff of the front army headquarters to discuss quickly.
And they are also willing to follow Chen Ziyun. After all, in their opinion, following Chen Ziyun may save their lives.
The 33rd Division, 41st Division, and the independent mixed ninth brigade temporarily retreated to Jincheng and Yangcheng areas.
Even though the Chief of Staff of the Front Army Yukio Kasahara and others were dispatched, the results were still not achieved quickly.
He Jingzhi also immediately generated electricity and reported in detail.
There were only a small number of the Fourth Brigade of the Little Japanese Cavalry here in Wenxicheng, heavily guarded by troops. When they discovered this troop, they did not put up any resistance.
The fourth brigade of the Little Japanese Cavalry was also forced to the area east of Jiangcheng.
It can also continue to advance eastward and assist the 14th Group Army in operations to secure the western position of Zhongtiao Mountain.
At this time, the troops of both sides continued to fight, and both sides suffered casualties.
The treasure-hunting ultrasonic wave rewarded by the system is similar to the ultrasonic wave of a bat.
A dense barrage of bullets was fired one after another, and the little Japanese cavalrymen were beaten and turned upside down.
After such repeated battles, the main force of the 37th Division was completely contained.
By 12 o'clock at noon, the 36th Division and the 37th Division advanced to the Wenxi City area.
After Shun Tada came to the battlefield to take command, he temporarily suspended the offensive operations and prepared to make adjustments again.
The little Japanese troops faced numerous troops and multi-faceted attacks, and they gradually became somewhat passive in combat.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the baton and made arrangements.
"We have already suffered a certain amount of casualties, but we have never been able to defeat them."
Up to now, the two sides have been fighting repeatedly, and there is almost no time to clean up the battlefield.
As for the 36th Division troops left on the battlefield, they were unable to carry out a dragnet sweep.
Even if Chen Ziyun could explain such a large number of shells, the troops would not be able to transport them now.
Then he would take a train south along the Tongpu Railway and come directly to Pingyang City to give personal command.
"Here in Yuanqu City, the Second Division of the Imperial Army can be mobilized to form an independent 16th brigade for containment operations."
Of course, arrangements were made quickly here at the First Army Headquarters.
At this time, the total strength of the Glory First Division's own troops, plus the troops they accommodate, has exceeded 30,000.
At ten o'clock, a Japanese reconnaissance plane came to the sky above Wenxi City to conduct reconnaissance.
"Your Excellency, Commander, in your opinion, how should we deal with the Zhongtiao Mountain combat situation now."
They searched and swept over, but didn't find much. They didn't even find much scattered weapons and equipment.
Each reinforced battalion has about a thousand people, and Chen Ziyun selected a dozen officers to take charge of these five reinforced battalions.
But as these cavalry approached, dozens of light and heavy machine guns from the Sun Yu Machine Gun Battalion opened fire one after another.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ziyun contacted Chu Yunfei in the Jiangcheng area.
They have two temporary infantry battalions, two mountain artillery battalions, a machine gun battalion, a special agent battalion, and a cavalry battalion, with a total strength of more than 3,000 people.
It is well known that bats are able to be active at night not because of their excellent eyes.
After hearing such a report, Yukio Kasahara had no choice but to look at the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka.
They can attack north from Yuanqu City and directly cooperate with the independent detachment to attack the 21st Division troops at Hengling Pass.
This night, thousands of troops were advancing towards Wenxi City while looking for weapons and ammunition.
Moreover, he directly contacted the capital here and wanted to increase the size of the Glory First Division so that they could play a greater role.
After Yukio Kasahara listened to Yoshio Shinozuka's suggestion, he pondered for a while and immediately arranged to generate electricity and contact Front Army Commander Shun Tada.
Countless weapons and ammunition have fallen in different areas, and Chen Ziyun can completely rely on treasure hunting ultrasound to find these weapons and equipment.
Soon, everyone began to carry different weapons and equipment.
However, Zhang Wu and Xie Yunxia commanded the troops to gradually resist and retreat, slowly attracting the troops of the 37th Division towards Yuanqu City.
When the main force of the 37th Division was dispatched, the two battalions quickly moved.
But no matter how they discussed, they could not find a suitable answer.
Chen Ziyun thought for a while, then he extracted some cannonballs and deliberately scattered them in different areas.
Therefore, Kasahara Yukio believes that the only one who can break the situation now is Shinozuka Yoshio.
Reports from the front line continued to be sent, and the Glory First Division gradually left the western battlefield and moved to Yuanqu City.
Yukio Kasahara and Shogun Hirata looked sad and found it difficult to make a decision for a while.
At the same time, he organized the currently more than 6,000 troops into five reinforced battalions, in addition to two mountain artillery battalions and one machine gun battalion.
Lieutenant General Anda Twenty-san, commander of the division, received the report and his face was livid with anger.
"The system rewards the host with fifty Czech-style semi-automatic rifles."
"Other troops immediately spread to the surrounding areas to accommodate the stragglers, and then we moved to the Wenxi City area."
"Yes, Commander Chen." The officers immediately saluted and agreed.
Tada Shun was very dissatisfied and prepared to come over personally to command the battle so as to obtain quick results.
By nightfall, Chen Ziyun's mobile group had found more than 3,000 stragglers, including hundreds of wounded.
It was at this time that the system's mechanical sound began to sound.
Tada Shun was very dissatisfied when he received the news that three armies of the Fifth Army had crossed the river and moved to the south bank.
In the evening, the two of them stopped talking for the time being and began to wait for a call back from the capital.
Around seven o'clock, I started to call back.
After receiving the call back, He Jingzhi and Wei Junru quickly checked.
