Chapter 129 Granting the designation of the 48th Independent Brigade
Can Zhao Yinfu, Yan Laoxi, and Wei Junru be surprised by the results achieved by Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment?
Because before the war started, they expected that the 358th Regiment would be defeated in that battle, and some of them would even pay a devastating blow.
However, when the battle ended, the Moon Army's independent fourth brigade was completely annihilated, which was completely different from what they expected.
The Second Theater District Commander's Department and the Deputy Commander's Headquarters will report on the situation as soon as possible.
The principal of Yuan Te Capital also received the report from the Attendant's Office immediately.
"The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? He has an impression of that regiment. They were the ones who captured the flag of the elite third regiment of the Moon Army before. Let's deny it."
"Their regiment leader, Chu Yunfei, graduated from the fifth phase of Huangpu, and many of their regiments graduated from the Army Artillery College."
"Chen Ziyun, he remembered that the artillery officer of the 358th Regiment was called Chen Ziyun, or he commanded the artillery to destroy the third regiment's wing headquarters."
"Subsequently, he commanded the troops to seize the flag of the third regiment. Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are really his good students."
"In such difficult times, they were able to annihilate an independent mixed brigade of the Moon Army!"
"He has long said that his students will definitely be able to defeat the Moon Army."
"Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun achieved such results that time, which is a special award!"
"Call back to the commander of the Second Theater Command and approve the proposal to expand into a brigade with the 358th Regiment as the core."
"They were given the designation of the 48th Independent Brigade, and Chu Yunfei, the regimental commander at the school, was promoted to major general and brigade commander."
"Chen Ziyun, attached to the Lieutenant Colonel Regiment, was promoted to the Infantry Artillery Commander of the 48th Independent Brigade to assist Chu Yunfei in managing and commanding the troops."
"In addition, Chu Yunfei will be awarded 10,000 yuan and Chen Ziyun will be awarded 8,000 yuan in his name."
After the principal learned about the results achieved by the 358th Regiment, he was very excited and asked if he would make a call back overnight.
And he personally awarded the designation of the 48th Independent Brigade, and specially awarded Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun in his own name.
Of course anyone with a discerning eye can see that, so maybe the principal was wrong to win over them.
After all, both Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun in Bufu are currently under the command of the Shanxi-Sui Army and are under the command of Yan Laoxi.
The most important thing is that these two people are probably from Shanxi Province.
Their status is indeed a bit embarrassing. Although they are not disciples of the emperor, they are outside the Shanxi-Sui Army, and they are not from Shanxi Province.
Because Yan Laoxi had Shang Qiyu and Fu Yisheng led their troops to leave the Shanxi-Sui Army one after another, he became very suspicious of himself.
Both Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun were disciples of the emperor, and Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi could not be defended by the Central Army for a long time.
He was always worried that once the 358th Regiment was expanded, they would take their troops and defect to the Central Army.
Therefore, even though Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun had achieved results before, they did not propose the expansion of the army.
As for the principal, although they are not his own students, they are still outside the Jinsui Army establishment.
Yan Laoxi is constantly flirting with Yue Jun, which makes the principal very afraid.
After all, he didn't want to give Yan Laoxi a large amount of combat supplies, but Yan Laoxi didn't use those supplies to fight the Moon Army. Instead, he continued to expand his troops and support himself.
Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun are currently in an awkward situation. If not for their great military exploits, their troops have no chance of expanding.
Of course, because they showed amazing strength, both Yan Laoxi and the principal wanted to win over them.
As for Wei Junru, the commander-in-chief of the first theater and deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater, does he have other ideas?
The troops under his command clung to the natural dangers of Zhongtiao Mountain, preventing the First Army from crossing the south east of the river and posing threats to Shaanxi Province and other areas.
They fought fiercely with the main force of the First Army one after another at Zhongtiao Mountain, and Zhongtiao Mountain was even called the Oriental Maginot.
But Wei Junru knows very well that there is no line of defense in Didong that cannot be broken through.
In particular, Yan Lao's Western Jin Sui army rarely fought against the Yue army, which resulted in them having no friendly forces on the periphery to respond.
Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun were both disciples of the Emperor, so Wei Junru hoped to gain their support.
Especially after the 358th Regiment showed its combat effectiveness, Wei Junru wanted to train them into a powerful peripheral combat corps.
In this way, if Zhongtiao Mountain is attacked, will Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun be able to command their troops to respond on the periphery?
After three o'clock in the morning, award messages were sent to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment one after another.
For a time, the commendation message of this level from the commander-in-chief of the Army Group Zhao Yinfu was completely different from other commendation messages.
Even if he is not Wei Junru, he is not only the deputy commander-in-chief of the second theater, but also the commander-in-chief of the first theater.
Zhao Yinfu, the commander-in-chief of the group army, is naturally incomparable.
As early as seven o'clock, the commander's department had already sent a message that the 358th Regiment would be expanded into the 48th Independent Brigade.
However, it has not yet been decided whether to independent the establishment of the 48th Brigade.
Of course, this is not something that Chu Yunfei and others can control, but does it require Yan Laoxi to engage in a game with the principal?
Yan Laoxi wanted to ask for a regular number. With a regular number, he could stretch his legs to ask for military pay, supplies, and weapons and equipment.
But as far as the principal is concerned, these can be distributed, but at the most basic level, the Jinsui Army has to fight the little devils.
Yan Laoxi kept asking for things, but he flirted with Yuejun, and the principal didn't want to be taken advantage of.
Therefore, the specific establishment of the 48th Independent Brigade has not yet been completely finalized.
The commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone in Buluo, including Wei Junru, has already begun dispatching troops and transporting corresponding supplies.
Yan Laoxi wants to win over Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun, so he must be asking for Dong's capital.
Otherwise, empty words in those days would not win anyone's loyalty.
Time is passing, as early as eight o'clock, the capital of Shanxi Province is too far away, in the headquarters of the First Army.
The commander of the second section, Major, hurriedly took the documents and came to the army commander Yoshio Shinozuka, with a solemn expression on his face.
"Commander Ge Dong, Chief of Staff Ge Dong, how about several pieces of information they have received."
"According to their monitoring and deciphering, the headquarters of the Second Theater Command and Deputy Commander of the Second Theater generated electricity more frequently last night."
"They used high-power radios and after deciphering the messages they intercepted, they discovered a request for intelligence."
"After repeated confirmations, Major General Katayama Shoutaro's brigade commander, Koko, has been shattered."
"The independent mixed fourth brigade has also suffered a devastating blow, and all its combat troops were shattered."
Section Chief Da Zuo stood up straight and saluted. He took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth to report.
If the Moon Army is very strong in communications, they can intercept and decipher the messages.
In addition, they have a complete intelligence system, so they can grasp a lot of information immediately.
Of course, when Yoshio Shinozuka heard this report, he was not too surprised.
Did the combat army headquarters maintain contact with the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade? Overnight, they completely lost contact.
Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama repeatedly arranged for communications troops to contact each other, but they were unable to contact any Lunar Army combat units.
I want to know that the Lunar Army is equipped with radios at the brigade level, and the military headquarters has completely lost contact with the frontline troops.
What that means can be clearly guessed by everyone at the Moon Army Command.
At this time, as the second section chief made a report, they knew that what they had expected was completely confirmed.
Yoshio Shinozuka was shocked to the extreme, because in his opinion, that was something that would never happen.
An independent mixed brigade reinforced with a large number of heavy weapons would be defeated by two or three regiment-level troops.
I want to know that when the staff members of the Lunar Army headquarters at all levels formulate combat plans, they have a very clear assessment of the combat capabilities of both sides.
Can one battalion of the Moon Army be able to cope with the strength of one division of the majority army?
From the perspective of the First Army of the Yue Army, the troops of the Jinsui Army paid them wrongly and could scare them away by beating their helmets with wooden sticks.
Even if Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment is more fightable, it still won't become the wrong leg of the fourth brigade independently.
As for the Eighth Route Army, the Moon Army admitted that they were difficult to deal with, but the little devil knew very well that the Eighth Route Army lacked weapons and equipment and were not good at regular combat.
Even if the Moon Army faces a crisis, they must stay put to ensure that they will not suffer a devastating blow.
That was not the reason why the Moon Army mistakenly assigned the Eighth Route Army troops to build artillery towers and bunkers on a large scale.
The Eighth Route Army did not have many heavy weapons, so they could not destroy those gun towers and bunkers.
Yan Laoxi fought with his life against the Yue army. The Yue army built those gun towers and fortresses, but it was hard for the Jin-Sui army.
After all, Yan Laoxi, who was defeated after the Central Plains War, was greatly restricted and could probably have ten artillery regiments.
"No, that's absolutely wrong. There is only one regiment of the Jinsui Army and the other regiment of the Eighth Route Army. How can they eat up the strengthened independent fourth brigade?"
"I want to know that their artillery team has been strengthened with artillery, and they have a machine gun brigade and a mortar brigade to assist in combat operations."
"In addition, they are well coordinated by the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Alliance Army. Even if those Imperial Alliance Army are stupid, they can still play a certain role."
"Commander Ge Dong, it turns out that this is absolutely true. The imperial troops will not pay such heavy casualties."
"The Jinsui Army does not have that capability, and the Eighth Route Army does not have that capability. Even if they fight together, they cannot completely annihilate such a large number of imperial troops."
As Section Chief Colonel finished his report, there was silence in the Little Japanese Army headquarters.
But soon, some radical staff officers stood up. They looked at Yoshio Shinozuka and directly denied it.
They were unwilling to admit such a defeat. After all, such a defeat would be a great shame and humiliation for them!
Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama stood silently in front of the map. As the top commanders of the First Army, those two men would naturally not say such childish words.
Things have happened and been confirmed, and now they can't change it even if they keep denying it.
In fact, the overall equipment level of the independent mixed brigade of the Moon Army is not very strong, and each independent infantry brigade has been weakened.
Let them mishandle troops without heavy weapons, and they will likely have the upper hand.
Can we encounter well-equipped main forces? Those troops have no advantage at all.
And the Yue army was not invincible, during the Battle of Xucheng in 38 years.
The main combat force of the North China Front is concentrated in the Shandong Province area, and the second theater is to cooperate with the fifth theater.
Under the command of Wei Junru, a large number of troops launched counterattacks in southern Shanxi.
The 20th Division of the First Army deployed for defense in southern Shanxi almost suffered a devastating blow.
"Ma Zai contacted the aviation unit and dispatched immediately to carry out carpet bombing in the Cuoyangcun area."
"At the same time, send electricity to the nearby garrison troops and ask them to enter combat mode to prevent the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army from attacking."
"In addition, a detailed report was quickly made to the front army headquarters to explain the situation of the independent mixed fourth brigade."
"One thing is very clear. I'm asking the Front Army Section 2 for assistance. They need detailed information on Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei, and Chen Ziyun."
After a moment of silence, Yoshio Shinozuka decisively gave the order.
Being able to serve as the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka is certainly not an ordinary person.
At this time, he didn't have any anger, but was very calm.
Because the situation was unclear, he did not arrange for his troops to launch immediate retaliatory actions, but instead took advantage of his aviation force to conduct bombings.
"Hi, Commander Kadou." Kusuyama Hideyoshi replied with a salute.
Immediately afterwards, the communications staff of the First Army Headquarters began to arrange for the communications troops to generate electricity immediately.
One message after another was sent out one after another, and at the same time, the aviation units outside Shanxi Province began to dispatch.
That time they dispatched about thirty aircraft. In addition to bombers, those aircraft were also reconnaissance aircraft.
After arriving in the Yangcun area, the planes began to lower their flying altitude and directly launched carpet bombing.
The positions of the New 1st Regiment in Yangcun and the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army were attacked by aerial bombs one after another.
Fortunately, by now all the troops have finished cleaning the battlefield and retreated to their respective defense areas. They are ready for defense.
Therefore, when the Lunar Air Force carried out bombing, all departments were prepared.
They suffered a certain amount of casualties and losses, but they were not within control.
If the Imp bombers bomb when each regiment is cleaning the battlefield, then their bombing power will be used.
If Bu Xin fails Li Yunlong's new regiment or Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment, they will surely suffer heavy losses.
At about ten o'clock in the afternoon, the Moon Army's North China Front headquarters was there.
Lieutenant General Commander Tada Shun stood in front of the microphone. At this time, he was talking to the headquarters of the dispatched army.
"Hi, please tell Commander-in-Chief Ge Dong and Chief of General Staff Ge Dong that they will organize the First Army to launch combat operations in the near future."
"They will concentrate their forces to attack southern Shanxi, thereby diluting the troops in the first theater to fight and ensuring that they cannot mobilize troops to leave."
Shun Tada said respectfully into the phone, and then he hung up the phone directly.
Currently, the 11th Army of the Moon Army is in a very passive situation after seizing the important town of Hankou.
There are troops from the 3rd, 5th, and 9th theaters surrounding them. Overall, the 11th Army is surrounded by those theaters.
The 11th Army is a strategic mobile combat corps, and its commander, Okamura Neiji, has super command capabilities.
Therefore, during that period, the 11th Army fought very frequently. They launched combat operations in the fifth and ninth theaters one after another in an attempt to annihilate the main force in the theaters.
Okamura Ning has been planning to launch attacks on the fifth theater in May, thereby breaking the strategic encirclement of the 11th Army in those theaters.
The fifth theater is currently adjacent to the first theater, and they may receive support from the first theater at any time.
Therefore, the dispatched army headquarters has already dispatched heavy weapons to the First Army, preparing to fight in Zhongtiao Mountain in southern Shanxi.
At that time, the four Liao-made 77MM field guns attached to the independent mixed fourth brigade were specially strengthened for the First Army to attack Zhongtiao Mountain.
The Moon Army planned to attack Zhongtiao Mountain to attract and contain the First Theater Zone in the western Henan region and prevent them from supporting the Fifth Theater Operation.
Tada Shun made this mistake and naturally he would not refuse, so he readily agreed to Donglai.
Or maybe he didn't know that the First Army suffered heavy losses, and the Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade also suffered a devastating blow.
"Commander Ge Dong, the First Army sent an urgent message."
"Their sweep and encirclement and suppression operations in the Yangcun area have ended."
At that time, Masahiro Hirata, the deputy chief of staff of the front army, walked quickly and saluted with a solemn expression.
