Chapter 303 Chen Ziyun’s strategic development suggestions
Beginning on the morning of May 15th, the Japanese Air Force's Third Flying Group Lieutenant General Toshi Kinoshita issued a series of orders.
Akiyama Toyoji's First Flying Group and Endo Saburo's Third Flying Group dispatched bombers one after another to carry out carpet bombing.
A large number of Japanese aviation troops were dispatched frequently and continued to bomb the positions of the 14th Army.
Along with the deafening explosion, thick smoke filled the eastern part of Zhongtiao Mountain.
Dust was flying all over the sky, and positions began to be destroyed everywhere.
Of course, because the Japanese and puppet troops had orders from the North China Front Army Headquarters, they did not take any action, but were resting and recuperating.
A large amount of ammunition was replenished to the frontline troops through heavy equipment, and various departments of the Japanese and puppet troops also made immediate adjustments.
Some reconnaissance troops were sent out, and they wanted to know the detailed deployment of the garrison troops.
Kazuki Yamamoto directed the special team members to take successive actions, hoping to use bombing to quickly attack the command structure of the 14th Army.
Chen Ziyun sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and sighed heavily.
Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun were also disciples of the Emperor and natives of Jin Province.
Both parties saluted each other and began to take their seats.
"We now have a small force of 30,000 troops. With such a number of troops, it is not difficult to gain a foothold here in Zhongtiao Mountain."
The Eighth Army currently has 43rd Army and 61st Army under its jurisdiction. At the same time, Yan Laoxi is preparing to incorporate the 201st Division into the Eighth Army's battle order.
As long as the 201st Division is annexed, this unit will be dismantled and scattered.
The 201st Division is completely able to gain a foothold in Zhongtiao Mountain, as long as they stay here to develop.
"Our independent detachment is poor and has almost run out of ammunition, but we will definitely not be ambiguous in cooperating with Brother Ziyun and Brother Yunfei in the battle."
"Hey, what's the big deal? Isn't it just cooperating on the periphery to fight?"
"If it weren't for our old comrades-in-arms relationship, who would be willing to stop you."
"Li Yunlong, you fucking don't know good people's hearts."
Chen Ziyun was exceptionally promoted to the position of chief of staff of the Eighth Army, and will also continue to serve as the infantry artillery commander of the 201st Division.
But faced with these situations, not to mention Chu Yunfei, even Chen Ziyun had a headache and didn't know how to make a choice.
"Look carefully at the telegrams from the division headquarters, general headquarters, etc., and see which one does not emphasize that we must obey the command of the commander of the guard."
"Our troops are here, no more, no less, just right."
"The current focus of the operation is here in the east of Zhongtiao Mountain. The west of Zhongtiao Mountain is completely empty. We can take the opportunity to gain a foothold here!"
The North China Front Army Headquarters has been established here in Pingyang City, and Shun Tada led Yukio Kasahara and others to personally command it.
Li Yunlong said seriously, as if he didn't care about weapons and equipment at all.
"You have fought several times, but you have gained a lot. You led thousands of stragglers before, but this time you have made a fortune."
It is still very difficult for the special forces to attack these command organs.
"It's inconvenient for me to come out, so you can go to the independent detachment yourself."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyun immediately set off for Jiangcheng.
"Brother Ziyun, don't worry, even if our troops are the only ones left in Zhongtiao Mountain, our independent detachment will still cooperate with you in the battle."
Li Yunlong and his party sent Chen Ziyun away directly, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately came to Li Yunlong's side.
"Master, if we reject Commander Yan rashly, the consequences may be beyond our imagination."
"There are eight 20MM machine guns, more than thirty light and heavy machine guns, and some grenade launchers here."
"This Lao Li is a fucking dog-faced person. He will change whenever he says."
"Master, this might not be a good idea."
Kong Jie couldn't help but muttered, and not long after, Chen Ziyun came to the room accompanied by Li Yunlong.
No matter what, Li Yunlong was not allowed to mobilize his troops, and several people almost got into a fight because of this.
There are more than 30,000 people in the 36th Division, 37th Division, the 16th Brigade, and the 2nd Division of the Royal Association Army in the area west of Zhongtiao Mountain.
At this time, the Japanese troops still did not attack, but continued to bombard various positions.
Hundreds of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops are nothing. No matter how many Japanese and puppet troops there are, they can't scare us, Lao Li. We will definitely cooperate with you in fighting."
Now Yan Laoxi has nothing to do with the 201st Division. As long as he finds an opportunity, the unit will also be dismantled.
No matter what choice you make now, it will obviously be manipulated by others.
They can even use Zhongtiao Mountain to continuously expand their strength.
Shun Tada sent Yoshio Shinozuka to the front line, obviously hoping that the First Army Headquarters could come up with a specific combat plan.
I'm afraid that Chen Ziyun, Chu Yunfei and others will be separated by then. This is a common method used by the direct line troops.
In these years, Chu Yunfei was also suppressed by the Jinsui Army.
When he heard that Chen Ziyun was coming, Li Yunlong smiled, his mood completely changed, and he ran directly outside.
"The Jinsui Army, our direct line troops, can we compare with others?"
The commander of the First War Zone, He Jingzhi, Wei Junru, and Guo Jiqiao, sent a telegram requesting the 201st Division to join forces with the independent detachment to defend the positions from Zijin Mountain to Yuanqu County.
"Especially after the First War Zone gradually abandons Zhongtiao Mountain, they will almost completely cut off contact with it."
After Chen Ziyun saw Zhao Gang and others, he smiled and said hello directly.
In addition, Yan Laoxi directly revealed his thoughts. He planned to dispatch the Eighth Army to secretly go to the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southeastern Shanxi.
In the original drama, Chu Yunfei was transferred to his direct unit as division commander, and he and Fang Ligong separated.
"Leave one regiment behind for symbolic defense, and the main force of our detachment will look for opportunities to fight against the Japs."
However, as the messages from each department were sent one by one, Chu Yunfei showed a solemn expression, and for a while he didn't know how to make a decision.
At this time, the headquarters of the 201st Division was established here at Henglingguan, south of Jiangcheng.
But if they don't leave, staying here in Jin Province and offending Yan Laoxi is not a rational behavior.
This means that the first theater troops will gradually withdraw from Jin Province and return directly to the area south of the Yellow River.
When Chen Ziyun came to Jiangcheng, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
When Li Yunlong heard about weapons and equipment, his eyes lit up.
Fang Ligong looked at the message on the table, with a solemn expression on his face, and reminded him softly.
In Yan Laoxi's opinion, after this battle is over, all the troops deployed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area of southern Shanxi will definitely evacuate to the area south of the Yellow River.
Chen Ziyun stood up, looked directly at Li Yunlong and said.
It was precisely because of Chen Ziyun's appearance that the troops achieved amazing results one after another, and Yan Laoxi and others gradually paid attention to Chu Yunfei.
However, at this time, various departments of the 14th Group Army have strengthened their defenses against the division headquarters, military headquarters, and the group army headquarters.
"It's not like you don't know the relationship between Chief Wei and the boss."
"Don't do this next time. This small favor is worth so many weapons and equipment."
Then they will definitely become the key targets for the first and second theaters to win over.
"When we were in the most difficult times, the guard chief extended a helping hand time and time again, and you have at least heard of the amount of ammunition given."
These weapons and ammunition were found by Chen Ziyun using the system's treasure hunting ultrasound.
Li Yunlong felt aggrieved. He was not willing to fight such a defensive battle.
"Have you seen the message sent by the brigade commander himself? The brigade commander is already gathering the troops of the 386th Brigade and will be here soon."
After Chu Yunfei was promoted to Army Commander, Fang Ligong was able to recruit him and continue to serve as Chief of Staff.
Even here in the first theater, Wei Junru may not continue to serve as the commander-in-chief of the first theater.
"Lao Zhao, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, you should just keep talking. When all the fucking ammunition is used up, you will regret it someday."
Of course, Chen Ziyun also knew that whether it left or not, the 201st Division would still face a lot of troubles.
If the 201st Division left directly with them, it would be easy to say that all future supplies would be provided by the First Theater Zone.
It is impossible for such a large number of troops to stay in the Zhongtiao Mountain area for a long time, they must leave.
"As long as we can take root in Zhongtiao Mountain, no matter it is the first war zone or the second war zone, we will be treated as meat and potatoes."
Li Yunlong looked at the message on the table, and the expression on his face changed.
Li Yunlong stood in front of the map with his eyes wide open, showing a very unhappy expression.
"Among so many troops, Brother Yunlong's independent detachment is obviously the best choice."
"When this battle is completely over, I will still have generous gifts to give you."
Li Yunlong swore to make a guarantee. In this regard, Li Yunlong must mean what he says.
"Master, I promise to complete the mission." Chen Ziyun saluted directly and replied.
"Brother Ziyun, how are you doing? Do you have any news about war over there?"
Instead of doing this, it's better to take the initiative yourself.
Army Commander Yoshio Shinozuka also kept picking up the microphone and directly contacted various divisions on the battlefield.
After these troops reunited, they directly used Purple Mountain as their base to launch guerrilla operations on the periphery, supporting the 14th Group Army of the First Theater Zone in its operations.
After Fang Ligong listened to Chen Ziyun's suggestion, he thought for a while and then immediately agreed. Chu Yunfei looked back at Chen Ziyun and then at Fang Ligong, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Old Li, this is not an ordinary combat order."
"Our division now has nearly 30,000 troops. Although weapons and ammunition are temporarily supplied, there is a large consumption of military supplies and food."
When they come here, they will definitely deal a fatal blow to the 14th Army.
However, Yan Laoxi, the commander of the Second War Zone, sent a different message. He asked the 201st Division to quickly join forces with the 43rd Army.
Chen Ziyun didn't know what Li Yunlong was thinking, but he didn't make excuses, but directly explained his purpose.
Li Yunlong looked at Chen Ziyun and said with a smile.
"Ziyun, if we want to stay and develop here in Zhongtiao Mountain, we must have troops outside to carry out supporting operations."
Chen Ziyun proposed to search westward to see if there would be any harvest of weapons and ammunition.
The general headquarters has been advanced to the First Army Headquarters in Jincheng, and they sent staff officers directly to the front line to understand the situation of each department.
He could have taken him away at that time, but considering the situation of the independent detachment, Chen Ziyun deliberately stayed here in Zijin Mountain.
Chu Yunfei knew very well that his ability to serve as lieutenant general and division commander was entirely due to Chen Ziyun.
He stepped forward and gave Chen Ziyun a hug, grinned widely, and smiled with his front teeth exposed.
"Even if there are hundreds of thousands of defenders here in Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be very difficult for the first theater to replenish them."
"The amount of ammunition is not too much, but it is definitely enough to sustain the current operation."
However, they only issued an order for all-out bombing. The specific combat plans of each department and the front army headquarters have not yet been drawn up.
As the battle progresses, a lot of ammunition has been consumed, but the harvest has not been much, which makes Li Yunlong very dissatisfied.
"You are all stubborn and can't move."
"And since we are based on Zhongtiao Mountain, we can also serve as the bridgehead of the first theater, and they will also support us as much as possible."
"Zhengwei Zhao, Commander Ding, and Commander Kong are all here."
"They are all biological sons. They will give them whatever they ask for. Our family resources have been wiped out. Who can make up for it?"
Several minutes passed before Chu Yunfei nodded slowly and agreed.
The Japanese army now seems to have a strong force, but these troops have been drawn from various places.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Hanatani Masaru, Chief of Staff of the First Army, also went to each division on behalf of the army headquarters.
He often adopts Chen Ziyun's suggestions without hesitation.
"It's not good for this to spread out. It seems that we, Mr. Li, are helping because of these weapons and equipment."
Judging from the deployment of the First Theater Command Headquarters, they have given up on the idea of Zhongtiao Mountain.
"Thank you so much, Brother Yunlong."
What made him even more depressed was that Brigadier Chen sent a series of telegrams demanding that the independent detachment obey Wei Junru's command.
Of course, going to the first theater is risky, and staying here in the second theater is also risky.
Ding Wei came over, handed Li Yunlong a cigarette, and directly comforted him.
After Chen Ziyun drank the tea, he came to Chu Yunfei and said with a serious expression on his face.
Kong Jie pointed to the telegram on the table, looked at Li Yunlong angrily, and shouted loudly.
He originally planned to directly disobey the order, but Zhao Gang and others tried their best to stop him.
"Taiyue Regional Headquarters, Division Headquarters, General Headquarters, and messages from Shaanxi Province!"
Yan Laoxi's meaning is very obvious. As long as Chu Yunfei nods, the 61st Army will come over quickly.
"So this matter must be treated with caution, otherwise Chief Yan will cut off the military food supply and we will starve."
This army includes Jinsui Army troops and direct line troops.
The 43rd Army Commander Zhao Chuanbi, the 201st Division Commander Chu Yunfei, and the Infantry Artillery Commander Chen Ziyun jointly commanded these troops to conduct operations.
Chen Ziyun smiled and said nothing, but no one knew Li Yunlong better than him.
Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 201st Division, was promoted to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, and concurrently served as the commander of the 201st Division.
Without Wei Junru, who can keep the 201st Division from being annexed?
Chu Yunfei blew on the ink and gave the two lines of words written by himself to Chen Ziyun.
"Ziyun, success or failure depends on you!"
"In this case, we can travel between the two war zones without making an immediate choice."
"Looking at the current situation, except for Chief Yan, I'm afraid no one can provide us with military supplies."
From ancient times to the present, even if we are in the same camp, due to the sophisticated nature of the world, it is always inevitable for different forces to compete.
"Keep your eyes open and take a look at the signatures of these telegrams!"
"But if we act in full compliance with their orders, the initiative will be in their hands."
"Brother Ziyun, you know that we, Lao Li, don't have weapons and equipment as important as our relationship."
"I'll be honest with you, brother, I fought several times, not to mention weapons and ammunition, even bullet boxes."
The situation of the 201st Division is very complicated, especially now that it has accommodated a large number of stragglers.
He spoke with the division commanders of each division of the Little Devils to learn more about the current battlefield situation.
Although Kong Jie is usually an honest person, when his temper comes up, even nine cows can't control him.
It's just that this suggestion now makes Chu Yunfei hesitate.
Safety will eventually require fighting, and we must share the joys and sorrows when they come!
"The special forces, field supplementary regiment, and artillery regiment and mountain artillery battalion are under your command."
Yan Laoxi doesn't want to rub sand in his eyes. The 201st Division has about 30,000 troops, and they must all be the Shanxi-Sui Army.
The room became quiet. After Kong Jie and Ding Wei's persuasion, Li Yunlong finally calmed down.
Chu Yunfei stood in front of the map, frowning slightly and saying nothing for a long time.
Even though this unit had strong combat effectiveness, it achieved shocking results.
After continuing to chat with Li Yunlong, Chen Ziyun began to return. After all, he still wanted to lead his troops towards the west of Zhongtiao Mountain.
It was at this time that Chen Ziyun came to the detachment headquarters of the independent detachment.
Chu Yunfei came to the desk, looked at Chen Ziyun and said.
At present, the artillery regiment has been supplemented with artillery shells, and the artillerymen no longer have to worry about the problem of artillery shells.
"These troops will gather quickly, wait for you to return from the independent detachment, and lead them to secretly advance towards the west of Zhongtiao Mountain."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei picked up the brush, swung the pen and wrote two lines of words.
Liang Guoping's baggage regiment mobilized troops to search and found some cannonballs. Of course, these cannonballs were rewards from Chen Ziyun's extraction system.
At present, the 201st Division has strong troops and well-equipped weapons and equipment.
Therefore, Yan Laoxi planned to wait until the troops in the first theater area evacuated and the Little Japanese troops left, and then the Eighth Group Army stationed in the Zhongtiao Mountain area.
Seeing the determined expressions of Zhao Gang and others, Li Yunlong was so angry that he scolded his mother directly.
"Look at you, Brother Ziyun, why are we brothers so polite?"
By that time, the initiative will be in the hands of the 201st Division.
He sat on the chair, lit the cigarette and took a deep breath.
"As long as we have military power, Commander Yan will inevitably have concerns."
"I suggest that elite troops be deployed secretly to establish a guerrilla zone in the west of Zhongtiao Mountain to serve as the retreat for our division."
"You have to disobey orders at this time. Who can protect you? How many of you, Li Yunlong, dare to disobey the headquarters and Shaanxi Province issued a combat order!"
"You are being disobedient and disrespectful at this time. Hehehe, even if you are a cat, your nine lives are not enough to kill you."
"Teacher, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. Let's just not follow our instructions."
As long as the 201st Division abandons its garrison at Hengling Pass and reaches Yuanqu City, the puppet troops of more than 30,000 days will be able to advance to the east of Zhongtiao Mountain to join the battle.
However, Chu Yunfei did not agree for a long time because he knew what the consequences would be after his troops withdrew.
"Of course we can't let Brother Yunlong's work go in vain. We moved from Wenxi City to Zijin Mountain before, and some weapons were hidden here in Zijin Mountain."
"Old Li, weapons and equipment are not as important as feelings. This is what you said."
"We have been comrades-in-arms for many years. Please share this batch of weapons and ammunition with us."
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and spoke hurriedly.
