The Lieutenant General Commander of the Little Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was extremely angry at this time. For him, all the combat plans of the Army Headquarters were completely shattered.
Originally, Shinozuka Yoshio planned to use the Sato detachment and the Harada detachment to launch a north-south pincer attack, thereby completely annihilating the Shanxi-Sui Army troops commanded by Chen Ziyun.
However, now that the two detachments have suffered varying degrees of casualties, it has become very difficult for them to fight a battle of annihilation.
What the two forces can do now is to quickly coordinate everything and make every effort to ensure the absolute security of the occupied area.
In addition, they need to maintain the smooth flow of the Tongpu Railway. After all, the railway is the lifeline for the Yuan army to survive.
As for the battle in the southern Shanxi area, the artillery shells that came with the support of the Kwantung Army were captured.
The frontline troops in southern Shanxi could not be replenished for the time being. Their attempt to force Wei Junru's troops to fight in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was obviously impossible to achieve.
Therefore, if Yoshio Shinozuka can do it, please ask those troops to attack and advance as much as possible.
Of course, when encountering a strong defense, they need to stop attacking in order to avoid excessive losses.
After all, if the Moon Army dispatches the army headquarters, just ask them to contain Wei Junru's troops.
Because the First Army received a large number of artillery pieces supported by the Kwantung Army, its combat effectiveness was enhanced, and they wanted to achieve greater results.
But now that they don't have enough artillery shells and artillery, it will naturally be difficult to advance with minimal casualties.
As long as Yoshio Shinozuka gave up his idea of fighting, it would be enough to complete the diversionary war mission.
"Contact Lesson 2 and ask them to figure out who the commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army is in the shortest possible time."
"They dare to sabotage their combat operations, then they will definitely beg the wrong people to retaliate wildly."
"After the battle in the southern Shanxi area is over, they want to gather the main force of the army and completely annihilate them."
"The battlefield in Jin Province is here, and there must be no place for Chu Yunfei's 48th Independent Brigade to gain a foothold!"
"Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Li Yunlong all want to be completely dealt with."
Yoshio Shinozuka pointed to the Xinxian area where the sand table was and said with a gloomy face.
Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi immediately agreed to come to Japan, and he quickly began to make arrangements for power generation.
At about three o'clock in the morning, six bombers appeared in the Suohe Town area.
Aerial bombs began to be thrown eastward one after another, and as the bombs fell on the ground, deafening explosions sounded.
At that moment, it was as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, dust and smoke were flying all over the sky, and the scorching air waves instantly raised the air temperature.
The powerful shock wave quickly spread in all directions, and the remaining houses collapsed instantly after being hit by the shock wave.
Huge craters began to appear on the ground, and the entire town of Suohe was bombarded continuously, almost razing it to the ground.
There are no houses left, and everything is in ruins.
After the Moon Army aviation bombed Suohe Town to the ground, they began to bomb Yangpo Village and Xihui Village.
Of course, they dropped the few remaining aerial bombs there, then lowered their flying altitude and directly used aerial machine guns to launch intensive strafing.
It didn't take long for Yangpo Village and Xihui Village to be bombed into a mess. At 4:30, six Japanese bombers left the battlefield in a show of force.
Of course, they would not know that Chen Ziyun had already directed the troops to move from Suohe Town at noon.
By the time the Moon Army launched carpet bombing in Suohe Town, their troops had already reached the area north of Suohe Town.
Has Chen Ziyun currently received a large amount of artillery shell replenishment, and has the number of their artillery been greatly increased?
The artillery battalion was supplemented by two Liao-made 77MM field guns and five Type 94 75MM mountain guns.
Based on that situation, Chen Ziyun reported to Chu Yunfei on the one hand and requested to send reinforcements to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.
On the one hand, Chen Ziyun is temporarily absent from the artillery battalion for adjustment. Sun Xiong, the company commander of the mountain artillery company directly under the 358th regiment, and Chen Ziyun are planning to transfer back.
Chu Yunfei quickly called back to Chen Ziyun, and he transferred the 7th Battalion of Zhang Fuyin Independent Infantry.
At the same time, the supply company troops are arranged to quickly transport relevant combat materials, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Due to Chen Ziyun's arrangement with the artillery battalion, Chu Yunfei directly approved the eastward journey without any hesitation.
At this time, the artillery battalion had two mountain artillery companies in the east, each equipped with six Bofors mountain guns and five Type 94 mountain guns.
At the same time, there is a field artillery battery, equipped with four Liao-made Type 14 77MM field guns.
Chu Yu's guard company and Zhang Wu's cavalry company captured a lot of artillery shells that time. The shells for those artillery pieces were sufficient for the time being.
At about six o'clock in the morning, Chu Yunfei sent troops to the Qicun Town area north of Suohe Town, and they met up with Chen Ziyun's troops.
The baggage company replenished supplies to Chen Ziyun's troops, and then left directly with the seriously wounded.
Mortars, artillery shells and some trophies that were temporarily unused by other troops were also taken away by them.
Currently, there are quite a few troops under Chen Ziyun's command, including three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and a hundred heavy troops.
Of course, after a fierce battle, Wu Ziqiang's fifth independent infantry battalion consisted of about 500 people.
Shi Yujie's 6th Independent Infantry Battalion currently has more than 500 people.
Zhang Fujun's 7th Battalion of Independent Infantry remained at full strength, with a strength of about 800 men.
The artillery battalion is currently strengthening its establishment. It has three artillery companies, one cavalry company and one guard company.
However, their number of soldiers currently exceeds 700, and the overall number has not improved much.
The expanded artillery units are all drawn from artillery battalions.
And even that time, Sun Xiong came with the baggage company and served as the company commander of the second mountain artillery company.
But if the three artillery companies are expanding on the original artillery basis, this will lead to a decline in the overall level of the three artillery companies.
Li Yangshan Artillery Battery is very good. Their artillery core is still there, so I just need to add some ammunition legs.
However, many artillery pieces, including Sun Xiongshan's Second Artillery Battery and Zhou Wenbo's Field Artillery Battery, lacked a certain number of artillerymen.
This will lead to their overall combat capability being weakened.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Wenbo of the observation team was directly promoted by Chen Ziyun to the position of company commander of the artillery battery.
The overall level of the observation team is currently very high. Even if Zhou Wenbo leaves, their strength will not be affected.
On the contrary, due to the shortage of artillery officers, Chen Ziyun was able to promote Zhou Wenbo in an unusual way.
Can the range of four field guns exceed 10,000 meters? It would be safer to control such long-range artillery by oneself.
Zhou Wenbo is also part of Chen Ziyun's old team. He is naturally the most suitable person to serve as the commander of the artillery company.
The artillery battalion has undergone a brief reorganization, and the troops currently under the command of Chen Ziyun number nearly 3,000.
Taking on the combat mission from the east, Chen Ziyun naturally tried his best to complete the mission issued by the commander-in-chief, destroy the fortresses and artillery towers along the railway, and destroy the Tongpu Railway.
For Chen Ziyun, who owned fifteen artillery pieces, the task was not too difficult.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Ziyun directly found Zhang Furun and assigned him a combat mission for the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion.
"Batalion Commander Zhang, I am taking two infantry companies and one machine gun company to the artillery camp to assist the artillery troops in combat."
"The other two infantry companies will be directly commanded by him and serve as the general reserve team for combat!"
"We went to the artillery battalion to ask for tasks, including transporting artillery shells and assisting artillery operations, thereby enhancing the artillery battalion's combat effectiveness."
"Of course, when we encounter a crisis, we must also assume the responsibility of protecting the safety of the artillery battalion."
"Battalion Commander Zhang, this time the brigade has authorized him to unified command the operations of all departments. Do you know him?"
"Just ask me to obey the order, and everything will be easy."
After Chen Ziyun found Zhang Fuyun, he directly gave him the combat order.
To be honest, Chen Ziyun felt a little bit complaining because Chu Yunfei sent the 7th Battalion of Zhang Fuyin Independent Infantry here by mistake.
The 7th Independent Infantry Battalion is Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuli has the old foundation of the 1st Battalion.
In the entire 48th Independent Brigade, no one knew that Chen Ziyun and the others were good friends.
Chu Yunfei sent Zhang Fu's camp over, which did not create any problems for Chen Ziyun.
How could Chen Ziyun dare to send such troops to the battlefield? Who knows what Zhang Fuyun would do at the critical moment.
If he comes to a battlefield to defect, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Chen Ziyun agreed to dispatch Zhang Fuyin to the artillery battalion and let them undertake tasks such as transporting troops and bombardment legs.
At the same time, the five companies were also separated to prevent them from having different intentions.
If he was wronged by Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuli, could Chen Ziyun have a hundred thoughts and be on guard against them at any time?
After all, Chen Ziyun's troops were exposed in advance that time, and they probably leaked the secret.
If there is not enough evidence now, otherwise, Chen Ziyun would have the heart to kill Zhang Fuyun.
Of course, Chen Ziyun, who has lived for two generations, is very aware of the chaos in the Jinsui Army. Qian Bojun and Zhang Furun have followed Chu Yunfei's old boss for many years.
In the original drama, the two people Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were also suspicious.
However, they did not arrive at Lijia Town and were almost killed.
The only risk they faced in being shot dead was whether they could find evidence that the two men sought refuge with the Japs.
From that point of view, there is no complete evidence. It is completely a dream to kill Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuyun.
Especially if Chu Yun is now the posthumous Major General and Brigade Commander, many things need to be balanced.
"Commander Chen, his battalion was ordered to rush to the rescue this time. I would like to ask Commander Chen to give them a chance to fight."
"What's more, both Battalion Commander Wu and Commander Shi's troops have suffered casualties. He, Mr. Zhang, is not willing to lead his troops in a decisive battle with the Moon Army."
"Assisting the artillery in operations, it is enough to have heavy equipment. Let them independently use the 7th Infantry Battalion to work as heavy equipment. Wouldn't it be overqualified and underutilized?"
Zhang Fu ran looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him, smiled slightly, and said with a righteous face.
Chen Ziyun almost couldn't help laughing after hearing those words. Zhang Fuyun wanted to ask for a joke about beating the Japanese. Is there a funnier joke than a mule?
The reason why he made such remarks was simply because he wanted to give Chen Ziyun a soft nail.
Zhang Fujun directly refused Chen Ziyun's arrangement without saying anything, saying that he wanted to lead his troops to fight the Japanese.
If Chen Ziyun really arranged for him to fight the Japanese, I'm afraid Zhang Fuyun would not achieve any results.
"Zhang Fuyan, if he looks at me, he's a bitch, so shut up with me. I don't understand. I have to scold me a few times."
"Did he discuss it with me? Did he give me a direct combat order? If I disobey the order, I will kill me now!"
"When I came over, my head was kicked by a horse's hoof, and I didn't even look at the situation to the east."
"The Fifth Battalion, Sixth Battalion, and Artillery Battalion of the Independent Infantry all obey my orders. What kind of trouble can I, the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Infantry, stir up!"
"I really want to fight the Japanese on the battlefield. That's fine. I'll give me an order for the Eastern Army."
"As long as I command the troops and don't get any results, I don't have to come back. I can just commit suicide."
"As long as I dare to establish the Eastern Army Order, I will grant it to you now and let me lead the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion on the battlefield immediately!"
Chen Ziyun looked at Zhang Fuyan, who looked like a dead pig afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and his temper immediately grew.
He raised his eyes, pointed directly at Zhang Fuyan's face, and cursed loudly.
Can Qian Bojun, Zhang Fuyun and Chen Ziyun always pay well?
However, Chen Ziyun considered that they had been Chu Yunfei's old brothers for many years, so he always controlled his emotions.
After all, it was inevitable that Chu Yunfei would be embarrassed if he embarrassed them.
If Zhang Fuyun really wants to challenge herself, then Chen Ziyun is welcome.
When Zhang Furun heard Chen Ziyun wrongly scolding her in public, her brows wrinkled slightly and the mustache on the east side of her nose trembled slightly!
His right leg accidentally or intentionally touched the holster of the shell gun, and he looked at Chen Ziyun coldly with his eyes.
"Zhang Furun, what's the matter? You're not convinced, and you really want to ask for a shot, right?"
"Come on, come on, the insurance is on. Give me all the money you have. I beg you, man, shoot now."
"Don't say he looks down on me. Even if Qian Bojun is there, he wouldn't dare to fight me."
"As for me, Zhang Fuyan, I'm a bitch. Don't say he won't give me a chance. Come on, shoot me."
Chen Ziyun saw Zhang Fuyun's actions, he took out the rifle, opened the safety, and handed it to Zhang Fuyin.
Did he keep touching Zhang Fuyun's bottom line? This time, Chen Ziyun had the idea of provoking him.
Please ask him to shoot directly, Chen Ziyun is also prepared.
Of course, Zhang Fuyin asked whether he could attack the East by himself, and directly wanted to take his troops to join the Japs. That would not be any easier.
Qian Bojun and Zhang Fuyun decided to deny the time bomb and solve it as soon as possible, which would be beneficial and harmless.
Zhang Fu ran stood where he was. He never expected that Chen Ziyun was so fierce.
If you have the perfect advantage, Zhang Fuyin will definitely have the courage to shoot.
But now, my eight hundred people are far more powerful than Chen Ziyun.
What's more, Chen Ziyun didn't come alone, and he was surrounded by soldiers from the security company.
Zhang Fuyan knew how powerful the security company was. He knew that if he wanted to beg for a shot, he might not have the chance.
"Commander Chen was joking, he just suggested it or not."
"Since Commander Chen insists that his battalion go to the artillery camp, he will definitely obey the arrangement."
"Commander Chen, I wonder if you have any other arrangements?"
Zhang Fu's face continued to smile, he looked at Chen Ziyun and said.
"He can just tell me if I'm a bitch. I won't know if I'm good or bad until he scolds me."
"Follow the order obediently. He will continue to contact me if he has other arrangements."
Chen Ziyun put away his rifle and glanced coldly at Zhang Fu.
Immediately afterwards, he left the station of the 7th Independent Infantry Battalion directly.
After Chen Ziyun left, could Zhang Furun vent his anger at the camp headquarters?
He smashed everything that could be smashed, but before that he had led the troops to the artillery camp to report.
