509 Chu Yunfei joins the war and Qian Shoucai gives advice
After Kong Jie captured Ping'an County, he acted in a high-profile manner.
Just be so high-profile.
Anyway, since the Hundred Regiments War, whether it is the Japanese army or the Chinese army, the Eighth Route Army has long been placed in a thorny position, not less than this time or twice.
At present, during the day, we used Ping'an County to encircle the fortress and mobilize reinforcements. We first killed all the Japanese reinforcements and threw away their armor, then turned around and captured Ping'an County overnight.
The next day, the military flags were changed, and the military flag belonging to the Eighth Route Army fluttered in the wind on top of the gate of Pingan County.
Kong Jie wanted to tell the people in Ping'an County and surrounding areas with great fanfare that this was the strength of the Eighth Route Army.
The support of the people is trustworthy, and we can still capture the Japanese counties if we want.
In sharp contrast, it is probably the continuous defeat of the national army in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
However, the Eighth Route Army fought one victory after another behind the enemy's rear, and now even the county seat has been captured.
Are you embarrassed by the military?
If you're sorry, just fight hard at Zhongtiao Mountain. If you can delay the Japanese army for a few more days, just delay it for a few more days and buy more time for our Eighth Route Army to fight behind enemy lines.
……
The Iron Triangle's series of actions led to the Independent Regiment's overnight capture of Ping'an County.
When the news spread, it naturally caused an uproar.
Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi, the Japanese deputy chief of staff Kawabasa Nobujun was so angry that his face was livid.
"Baga, this damn independent regiment, damn Kong Jie!"
Nobutoshi Kawakubo cursed Kong Jie in the headquarters for being shameless and cunning.
This false and true situation is simply hard to guard against.
I thought I was attacking the county seat, but in fact I was running to the encirclement point to bring reinforcements. I thought everything was over, but in the end I secretly attacked Chen Cang and attacked the county seat in one fell swoop.
Although Ping'an County is not a big city, it was captured by the Independent Regiment in one fell swoop, which affected too many things.
On the one hand, it means that the Eighth Route Army in the Japanese-occupied areas has already become too strong to be defeated, and even has the strength to easily capture the county town.
On the other hand, the county seat was easily captured by the independent regiment, which greatly dampened the military power of the Japanese army.
The villagers around the Eighth Route Army base area cheered even more after hearing that the Independence Regiment had easily captured Ping'an County, thinking that the day when the little devils would be driven out of China was not far away.
People's hearts are moving more and more towards the Eighth Route Army.
As for the capitulationists and the traitors and puppet troops, after hearing about the power of the Independent Regiment, they all prayed for their blessings in fear, fearing that people from the Independent Regiment would come to their door.
Under this series of chain effects.
While the traitors and puppet soldiers were terrified, they also began to make small calculations in their hearts, thinking about making plans for their future.
As the various military work teams of the Independent Regiment continued to secretly expand the villages, they encountered much less pressure from the traitor regime.
This may be the reason why weak countries have no diplomacy.
On the other hand, when the independent regiment as the backing becomes stronger, the external development work of the Armed Works Team, the Enemy Industry Department, and the Propaganda Department will naturally fall into place.
……
Not only that.
This high-profile battle in the Shanxi North Iron Triangle has even affected the Shanxi-Sui Army troops.
The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army.
The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment first launched a joint operation, using Ping'an County as a cover to encircle and mobilize reinforcements.
Immediately afterwards, the independent regiment launched a sneak attack at night and captured Ping'an County.
When the news came, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was filled with sighs and said to the regiment leader Chu Yunfei: "Regiment leader, this independent regiment is really getting more and more surprising. I can even predict that in the future, this independent regiment will definitely... It will become a difficult opponent for the party-state."
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "Brother Ligong, you and I are soldiers. We will not get involved in political matters. We only look at the present. The Japanese aggressors are facing us, and the survival of the nation is at stake."
"It is a blessing for the nation to have a team like the Independent Regiment and a figure like Kong Jie to appear. You and I should be happy."
Fang Ligong smiled bitterly and said: "Tuan Zuo has a broad mind, I am not as good as Tuan Zuo."
Chu Yunfei waved his hand nonchalantly, changed the subject, and said: "Brother Ligong, speaking of it, this three-acre area in northwest Shanxi is not a small stage. At present, all the glory has been taken away by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. , if our 358 Troupe doesn’t sing two more plays, I’m afraid we will be forgotten by the world.”
"Tuan Zuo, what do you mean?" Fang Ligong said in confusion.
Chu Yunfei said: "Fight, the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is still going on, although it is not completely over. But judging from the news we have received, there is little hope that the Central Army can hold Zhongtiao Mountain."
"Brother Ligong, we have to prepare for the worst."
"At this time, the main force of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi is still in southern Shanxi. The Eighth Route Army can seize this opportunity to attack boldly. Do we, the 358th Regiment, have to watch helplessly and wait for death?"
"The limelight of fighting the Japanese and the good name of resisting Japan cannot be given to the Eighth Route Army. After all, this Shanxi was originally the territory of our Shanxi-Sui Army."
"If you don't fight the Japanese invaders in your own territory, will you just watch the Eighth Route Army fight the Japanese invaders on our behalf?"
Fang Ligong did not reply immediately, but muttered in his heart:
Isn’t that what it is! What did Chief Yan have in mind? Everyone was thinking like Ming Jing’er. He just wanted to use the Eighth Route Army as gunmen! It could be used to deal with the Japanese, and by the way, it could also contain the Central Army.
After thinking for a while, Fang Ligong said: "What the regiment said is that now is an excellent time for us to fight."
"At present, the main force of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi is not present, and coupled with the commotion of the Eighth Route Army in the occupied area, the Japanese Army's main force is basically placed on the Eighth Route Army. In addition, the Japanese Army and our Jinsui Army have always been on the same page.
If we attack suddenly, the Japanese army will definitely not expect it."
"In addition, the Chief's Department also sent news a few days ago, allowing us to seize the opportunity at the right time and cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to attack the Japanese army."
As for why the superior officer issued such an order.
Fang Ligong estimated that Commander Yan thought that the Central Army would probably lose the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Next, the Jinsui Army wants to continue to maintain its foothold in Shanxi. Without the Central Army as an ally, it can only find a way to unite with the Eighth Route Army.
By the way, fighting a few victorious battles with the Eighth Route Army can also enhance the prestige of the Shanxi-Sui Army in the hearts of the people.
We cannot confuse our Shanxi-Sui Army with the national army that always loses battles.
Dealing among several forces in order to obtain the greatest benefits has always been Chief Yan's specialty.
"Just, Tuanzu, how are we going to fight?"
Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, and then spoke out the plan that had been brewing in his heart all morning, and said: "Over the past year or so, although there have been occasional conflicts between the Japanese army and our Shanxi-Sui army, they have generally been on the same page.
The state of the river."
"During this period, in order to deal with the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army became more and more aggressive, and even passed through the outer defense zone of our 358th Regiment in large numbers."
"This arrogant little devil, do you really think that I, Chu Yunfei, am a fool?"
At this point, Chu Yunfei stopped talking and issued an order without hesitation: "I am ordering that from now on, the perimeter defense line will be expanded five kilometers outward. All Japanese troops passing through the defense area will be treated as enemy troops and directly
Launch a military offensive."
As soon as these words came out, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was a little worried and said: "Team leader, is this too much noise?
Although the Chief Executive Department stated that they could join forces with the Eighth Route Army to deal with the Japanese.
But the implication is that we should try our best to keep the fuss as small as possible and not bring the anger of the Japanese army to our Jinsui Army."
Chu Yunfei frowned and said: "Brother, when an officer directs a battle, he is most afraid of being indecisive. He either doesn't fight, draws a clear line, and makes a clear distinction."
"Since we are going to fight, we should adopt the posture of fighting the Japanese. If our Jinsui Army troops fight the Japanese and everyone shrinks, what will it look like?"
"Instead of that, it's better to continue to stay on the same page with the Japanese, even if we get the reputation of being passive and avoiding war!"
Fang Ligong's face turned slightly red at Chu Yunfei's words, and he responded: "Yes, but it depends on the order of the regiment!"
Chu Yunfei turned around and smiled: "Brother Ligong, that's right."
"The first step is to clear out all the Japanese and puppet troops in our regiment's defense area, and show the people of the entire northwest of Shanxi that our Shanxi-Sui Army 358th Regiment's attitude is to fight the Japanese invaders."
"The second step is to actively pursue a war against Japan. On such a big stage in northwest Shanxi, we cannot let the Eighth Route Army perform a one-man show."
"The third step is to try to join forces with the Eighth Route Army troops. Speaking of which, since the end of the Battle of Cangyunling, our 358th Regiment has never had a joint operation with the Eighth Route Army troops against Japan."
……
No coincidence.
The 57th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army has already maintained a stable arms business relationship with the Independent Regiment, and has even become an agent for various products of the Independent Regiment in the Kuomintang-controlled area.
Regarding the war against Japan, regimental commander Yang Chongshan and Chu Yunfei thought of going together.
Of course, the 57th Regiment is far inferior to the 358th Regiment in terms of size, equipment, and combat effectiveness.
Yang Chongshan had a clear discussion with Qian Shoucai on this aspect.
"Let's just follow the Independent Group. The Independent Group eats meat, even if we drink some soup. This is called making a fortune in silence. If the Japanese are really annoyed, they will only record their hatred on the Independent Group.
”
"What we have to do is, on the one hand, to fight, and more importantly, to continue our own development, to bring our fifty-seventh regiment together and strengthen it, and to accumulate troops for Commander Yan."
Qian Shoucai said with admiration: "The regiment is wise. Now Commander Yan suddenly issued an order to allow our Shanxi-Sui Army troops to fight jointly with the Eighth Route Army."
"In the final analysis, as the Central Army gradually retreated in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, Commander Yan is afraid that without the Central Army, it will be difficult for our Shanxi-Sui Army to gain a foothold in Shanxi alone."
"Joining forces with the Eighth Route Army can quickly gain a foothold and even re-strengthen the troops that have been suppressed by the Central Army and the Japanese Army in many ways over the years."
"What will be credit then? If the regiment has grown in size and has strong troops, then that will be credit."
"You just won the battle and only one battalion was left in the regiment. What's the use? I might just demote you to battalion commander later."
"But even if the battle is defeated, if a regiment can develop into a brigade, that is its ability, and it is the ability that Commander Yan can most appreciate."
"Why?"
Qian Shoucaishe asked, lowered his voice, and said in Yang Chongshan's ear: "After the fall of Taiyuan, our Shanxi-Sui Army is no longer what it used to be. Chief Fu ran away with the Chairman again, and the Shanxi New Army
They failed to win over them, and most of them were directly absorbed by the Eighth Route Army.
Now there are not many people left around Commander Yan. What he lacks most is soldiers.
Regimental Leader, if you can develop the 57th Regiment and hand over more soldiers to Commander Yan, that is the greatest achievement in Commander Yan's eyes."
Yang Chongshan smiled. He values Qian Shoucai. Although Qian Shoucai is greedy for money, his knowledge is unparalleled by few.
After the two of them finished their discussion.
Yang Chongshan immediately decided to, on the one hand, increase all aspects of secret business cooperation with the Independent Group.
On the other hand, the 57th Regiment is now considered to have strong financial resources and can start recruiting troops to expand the existing strength of the 57th Regiment.
By the way, I followed the independent group, beat up the Japanese, and drank some soup.
