Chapter 424 Please remember, I will make the following deployment adjustments! (Subscribe)
“Have you heard that generals in various war zones have reported to the Military and Political Department that the military rations they received are moldy.”

“Supplies at all levels of military depots basically go into officers’ pockets. This is the norm.”

“That is to say, we don’t have this kind of situation in the Second War Zone.”

Chu Xichun put his hands behind his back and concluded: “It is under the leadership of Chief Yan that we have worked together to eradicate corruption.”

Old Man Yan happened to pass by the operations room.

Hear the discussion among the staff below.

I felt very relieved for a moment.

While other war zones were still withholding military rations and sucking the blood of their soldiers on the front lines.

He, Yan Laoxi, has passively begun to crack down on corruption with an iron fist.

Now that the situation has basically become clear.

Those blood-sucking bureaucrats in the mountain city couldn’t even understand the situation.

Ha ha.

Wait until these bloodworms are fattened.

It’s time to uproot.

By then.

As the chairman, he will be able to obtain some military funds again to make up for the financial gap.

Da~da~
The sound of powerful footsteps was heard.

The accompanying adjutant stepped forward quickly: “Commander Yan is here!”

After hearing the voice, the staff officers immediately stood at attention.

Yan Laoxi nodded with satisfaction: “Qingbo, what were you guys talking about just now?”

Chu Xichun smiled and walked over, looking calm and composed, as if he was telling a funny story: “Guan Linzheng, who had just been promoted to the commander of the group army, used an excuse to punish Huang Wei, who had just taken over the 54th Army.”

“Guess what?”

Yan Laoxi raised his eyebrows and said, “Could it be that Chen Cixiu and He Jingzhi are fighting again?”

“This sour and corrupt officer went over the head of the military and political department and reported it directly.”

“For some reason the news leaked out, and troops in various war zones reported similar problems.”

Yan Laoxi thought about it carefully, and then slowly said: “I am afraid that He Jingzhi will think that these people below are challenging his power and deliberately making things difficult for his military and political departments. I am afraid that Huang Wei, who is the first to come forward, will get into trouble.”

Chu Xichun scratched his head: “Isn’t it possible that the chairman thinks so highly of him?”

“Because of the reorganization of the army, Chen Chi-hsiu is in power again. Will the chairman not give him a warning?”

Chu Xichun naturally thought of it.

But don’t be too obviously smart in front of Old Xi Yan.

Chu Xichun seemed to suddenly understand.

Yan Laoxi was also much happier: “How is the situation on the front line in northern Shanxi?”

“According to last night’s telegram, the garrison troops are further shrinking. According to Chu Yunfei’s orders, they have retreated to the Great Wall defense line.”

“The people along the route have completed their evacuation and relocation.”

“Proper placement is currently underway.”

“Even so, our troops are still relatively sparsely populated compared to the Japanese troops at Yangfangkou and Pingxingguan.”

“How long will it take for the reinforcements to arrive?”

“It will take at least three days. According to Yun Fei’s latest battle plan, we will not launch a counterattack even after the reinforcements arrive.”

“I guess Yun Fei should wait for the arrival of American aid and the completion of the formation of the artillery unit before making further plans.”

The Japanese offensive was swift.

The original disadvantage was reversed overnight.

In Yan Laoxi’s opinion, this is the gap in national strength.

It cannot be made up overnight.

If he were to make the decision.

Just one word, drag.

Keep dragging it on.

Until the Japanese directly and proactively attack Southeast Asia.

Or it could delay until the Japanese divided their forces to deal with the Soviets.

But Chu Yunfei just didn’t want to delay.

What else can Yan Laoxi do?

The people’s strength and productivity in Shanxi have reached their limits.

Under limited conditions.

Even if Yun Fei came to command personally, what could he accomplish?
“Forget it. Let me make the military decision. Where is this batch of aid?”

“Waiting to be loaded and unloaded at the ferry.”

“Because the heavy artillery is too heavy, the transportation efficiency is very low, and the number of ships we can use for transportation is still too small.”

After occupying the advantageous defensive terrain.

The Japanese army was never able to advance any further.

Plain area.

If the attacking force could not keep up.

Chu Yunfei would not choose to engage in a small-scale, continuous tug-of-war.

Deplete the Japanese army’s manpower.

It is to reduce the difficulty of the tough battle.

It’s a pity that the Japanese didn’t give him this opportunity.

Heavy artillery arrives.

It also takes at least one month to carry out corresponding adaptive training.

It would be great if these Americans were willing to send their artillery units over.

In the blink of an eye.

Just one week passed.

Support troops arrived.

After the 2nd Infantry Regiment, the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th and 13th combat units arrived one after another.

Except for the 9th Infantry Regiment, which suffered relatively less casualties.

The remaining 7th and 8th Infantry Regiments’ defense lines were rotated.

After a large number of combat troops were sent to the front line.

The originally sparse defense line suddenly became extremely tight.

just.

The Japanese military did not realize this.

Still launched a tentative attack.

Under Chu Yunfei’s command, the newly rotated combat troops fought very restrainedly.

But in the eyes of the Japanese army.

This group of defenders, who had been generally restrained, could be considered to be fighting back bravely.

The offensive was immediately halted, waiting for reinforcements from heavy artillery and air force units.

In this way, the two sides entered into a confrontation.

“Hello, sir!”

“Hello, sir!”

Outside the headquarters of the 9th Infantry Regiment, there were noisy footsteps and greetings.

Gong Yuxin scratched his greasy hair.

Put on the military cap on the table.

Before he had time to leave the command center, Chu Yunfei and his group had already walked in.

“Sir!”

“Ah.”

Chu Yunfei nodded and didn’t look at Gong Yuxin who looked a little embarrassed.

He just looked down at the battle map on the table.

I want to understand the command and combat ideas of a mid-level military officer.

The most intuitive way is to do the homework by looking at the pictures.

Thanks to Zhang Dayun’s teaching.

The two people’s way of thinking is almost exactly the same.

Although Gong Yuxin was not from Huangpu.

But at least the work on the picture is acceptable.

He stood aside with a slightly embarrassed look.

It’s like a student welcoming the teacher to check his homework.

Chu Yunfei said nothing.

There was neither praise nor criticism.

It’s average, there’s room for improvement, but no need for improvement.

He stood up and walked to the observation post.

He raised the telescope in his hand and looked in the direction of the position.

At Chu Yunfei’s instruction, Zhao Pengcheng started checking the telephone line.

“Hello, 9th Infantry Regiment Headquarters, connecting with the 1st Battalion…”

“Second Battalion”

“Connect the Third Battalion”

“Reporting to the Lord, the telephone line is clear. Except for the acting commander of the first battalion who is not at the command post, the commanders of the remaining battalions are all at their command posts.”

“Acting battalion commander? Captain Gong, where is Captain Zhu from your first battalion?”

“Reporting to the commander, Captain Zhu was injured and admitted to the hospital. The current acting commander of the First Battalion is the former deputy commander of the First Battalion, Meng Fanle.”

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and immediately reprimanded: “Casualties among battalion-level officers must be reported in a timely manner. It is not enough for the junior officer to just take over.”

Gong Yuxin subconsciously stood at attention: “Yes.”

Chu Yunfei put away the telescope and said slowly, “Accompany me to the front line to take a look.”

“The snipers from both sides are still fighting each other. From time to time, shells will fall into the trenches. It is quite dangerous. What do you think?”

Chu Yunfei waved his hand nonchalantly.

Gong Yuxin looked at his adjutant Zhao Pengcheng with a pleading look.

Zhao Pengcheng seemed to have seen nothing and completely ignored Gong Yuxin’s gaze.

You don’t listen to what the chairman says.

Dare I advise?
joke.

Besides, Junzuo is not a fool, why would he run to the forefront?
With the clothes he’s wearing, any sniper on the opposite side with a little bit of common sense would not let go of such a high-value target!
Under the leadership of Gong Yuxin, they arrived at the command post of the first battalion.

He raised the telescope in his hand and observed the situation on the front line.

Chu Yunfei now tries not to zoom in on the perspective in three-dimensional combat as much as possible, and rarely changes the perspective.

Now he had too many combat units to focus on when commanding a battle.

There were so many that he was exhausted and couldn’t pay attention to them all.

It will also limit the number of times he can use his skills each day.

Save as much energy as you can.

Use the limited energy and physical strength you have on using your skills.

“Captain, given our current position, we are in a situation where we are attacking from a high position.”

“If the Japs want to attack, they will have to lie on their backs.”

“If we throw a grenade, the Japanese won’t dare to charge too hard.”

“Would you like to ask the regiment for more grenades?”

“What battalion commander? Call him acting battalion commander!”

Meng Fanle corrected the address of the communicator beside him, and then continued: “In the previous battle, the consumption of grenades was too great. Judging from this, at least 10,000 or 20,000 more are needed. Damn, it seems that these damn Japanese devils can’t be killed.”

After stepping into the command post.

Meng Fanle then noticed Chu Yunfei sitting on the chair.

Subconsciously, he stood at attention and said, “Commander in Chief, the acting commander of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Infantry Regiment, Meng Fanle, reports to you.”

“Well, graduate of the Sixth Officer Training Class, I am very impressed by you.”

Chu Yunfei smiled, propped himself up with both hands, and stood up directly: “The defense line is well built, and the details are well done, but don’t be complacent, continue to strengthen the fortifications and prepare for the attack of the Japanese invaders.”

“Yes, sir.”

Chu Yunfei left under Meng Fanle’s annoyed gaze.

Until the group disappeared at the end of the trench.

Meng was annoyed and then put down his raised right hand.

Hao Weihao on the side whispered: “Deputy Battalion Officer, do you feel that Commander Chu’s condition seems a little bit off?”

“What do you mean?” Meng Fanle was a little confused.

Hao Weihao scratched his head and said, “I always feel that the commander seems very tired, as if he hasn’t slept all night.”

“I do not know.”

Meng Fanle touched his chin and said, “However, I seem to have heard the regiment commander say a few days ago that since retreating to the Great Wall defense line, the commander has basically been constantly inspecting the front line. Commander Chu seems to be under a lot of pressure.”

every day.

Chu Yunfei basically has to run around on the front lines.

Communicate with the soldiers on the front line with the most enthusiastic spirit.

Understand their current state of mind.

Expectations and opinions on the direction of this battle.

What made Chu Yunfei very pleased was.

Even if they voluntarily abandoned many positions.

The morale of the officers and soldiers was not greatly affected.

They firmly believed that this was his plan.

After all, Chu Yunfei ordered the evacuation of the people in advance.

They are full of confidence in a possible counterattack in the future.

We join the army and fight to defend our country and our fellow countrymen.

If the common people were left where they were, they would be brutally slaughtered by the Japanese.

Naturally, they felt sorry for the military uniforms they were wearing.

When we returned to the Shanxi-North Front Headquarters again.

Chu Yunfei’s mental state has improved a lot.

this process.

A full ten days passed.

Ten days of attack.

The Japanese army was unable to advance and instead suffered heavy casualties.

The artillery troops came to the rescue from time to time under Chu Yunfei’s orders.

With the help of artillery guidance skills.

Carry out targeted strikes on the Japanese artillery positions and the combat forces launching the attack.

Hit and hit.

The attacking Japanese troops realized that something was not right.

Their attack became increasingly difficult.

Especially when you are about to seize a defensive position.

The artillery fire would reach their heads quite coincidentally.

This feeling.

This brought back bad memories for Yoshio Shinozuka, and he became deeply worried.

Datong.

Shanxi First Army Headquarters.

“Commander, the intelligence from the North China Front Command is very critical. This perfectly matches your previous judgment. We only need to maintain the offensive until the enemy completes its supply.”

At this time, Ushijima Mitsuki was sitting opposite Shinozuka Yoshio, and he was extremely excited.

It seemed as if the opportunity to defeat Chu Yunfei was right before his eyes.

The combined forces of the 41st and 20th Divisions have begun attempting to attack the Yangfangkou line.

Although no breakthrough progress was achieved.

However, the battle for each village also put considerable pressure on the defending troops.

In front of his subordinates, Yoshio Shinozuka also showed full confidence at this time.

He said in a rather confident tone: “Captain Ushijima, this is clearly stated based on the latest intelligence we have obtained.”

“The new batch of material aid Chu Yunfei’s troops received mainly includes large-caliber heavy artillery.”

Ushijima was speechless, slightly surprised: “Commander, the enemy’s artillery will pose a great threat to our attack!”

“Don’t worry, Ushijima-kun. According to intelligence, these equipments are not only difficult to transport, but also no artillery in the Second War Zone can use such heavy artillery. Even with the help of the Americans, they will need a lot of time to familiarize themselves with them.”

“so!”

“The next supply cycle will be at least one month later.”

Seeing Shinozuka Yoshio so confident, Ushijima smiled and said, “According to the report from the front line, the enemy’s light weapons firepower has dropped a level compared to a month ago, and they also have some problems with their ammunition supply.”

“The biggest problem right now is how to deal with Fu Zuoyi’s troops in the Eighth War Zone. If we can successfully defeat them, the entire North China Front Army will have more energy to deal with the attack of Chu Yunfei’s troops.”

“Commander, as for the national counterattack plan reported by the North China Front Army Headquarters.”

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand nonchalantly: “We don’t need to consider the authenticity of the intelligence. We just need to fight at our original pace.”

In Yoshio Shinozuka’s opinion.

If we really have the ability to launch a nationwide counterattack.

Then why adjust the strategic counterattack zone? Why prioritize resource supply?

The logistics situation of Chu Yunfei’s ace combat unit is currently quite bad, and ammunition is in short supply.

This was completely Chang Ruiyuan’s bluff.

However, he needed the 20th Division to continue the attack to confirm his guess.

If Chu Yunfei’s troops are really accumulating strength and intending to counterattack.

Then the offense needs to stop.

Yoshio Shinozuka would rather the two sides enter into a confrontation rather than wasting resources in such a tug-of-war.

This is true for both sides and for this war.

There is actually no meaning at all!
“Jingle Bell!”

The General Headquarters of the Northern Shanxi Front.

Zhang Dayun stepped forward quickly and answered the phone: “Former Commander, please speak.”

“Reporting to the deputy commander, I am Zhou Daxing, the commander of the Fifth Infantry Regiment. The enemy has launched a large-scale offensive, with the cover of armored vehicles and tanks. Their artillery preparations are also quite fierce. It seems that they have launched an all-out attack.”

With a phone call to the Shanxi-North Front Headquarters.

Chu Yunfei and others were also a little surprised.

These little Japanese devils actually dared to launch a large-scale offensive!
How dare he?

During these ten days of fighting.

Chu Yunfei’s troops have been in a relatively active war situation.

It looks like they are preparing for war and counterattack.

These little Japanese devils actually dared to test us like this.

Do you really think they have no ammunition or shells?
Chu Yunfei’s consciousness was immediately immersed in the three-dimensional combat map.

as predicted.

The military badge representing the 20th Division was also divided into many smaller ones at this time.

Basically, they are all at the regiment level, and there are even brigade level military badges.

Fighting in dispersed groups, each one is attacking the target.

It was like a very strict attack plan had been formulated.

Just as Chu Yunfei expected.

The telephone at the command center kept ringing.

Basically, each regiment was reporting on the situation of the Japanese attack.

Less than ten minutes passed.

The 14th Army also called Chu Yunfei’s command center.

The 41st Division also launched an attack on them.

The artillery fire was well prepared and there was fighter jet support in the air.

He looked as if he wanted to break through Ru Yuekou in one go.

Suddenly, the battle situation became interesting.

Chu Yunfei immediately turned around and looked at Fang Ligong who was standing aside, and said, “Chief of Staff Fang.”

“Have!”

“Please remember this. I will make the following deployment adjustments.”

Fang Ligong immediately looked serious, took out his small notebook from his pocket and unscrewed the cap of his pen.

Jian Fangligong is ready.

Chu Yunfei immediately said: “Use the 9th and 10th Infantry Regiments to continue to defend the Yangfangkou line.”

“The 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 4th Infantry Regiments, 30th Artillery Regiment, and 31st Mountain Artillery Regiment are the left-wing attack forces. Immediately launch a counterattack in the direction of Shuo County. After defeating the enemy, immediately launch a pursuit. The offensive end line is the area around Shanyin County.”

“The 11th, 12th, and 13th Infantry Regiments and the reserve force, totaling 16,000 men, will serve as the right-wing attack force and launch an attack in the direction of Ying County to support the battle of the 14th Army Group.”

“The second and third regiments are the reserve.”

“Also, send a message to the 14th Army Group.”
