Qi Guangyang asked: "What's going on? Could it be that Chu Yunfei's headquarters has been taken away by the Japanese army? Otherwise, why didn't they send a telegram asking for help?"
The chief of staff said: "Sir, the possibility you mentioned is extremely high. A miscellaneous unit like Chu Yunfei's 358th Division cannot possibly stop the powerful Japanese 14th Division. There is a great possibility that it is Chu Yunfei's 358th Division." Something has happened at the headquarters. Should we send reinforcements?"
Qi Guangyang shook his head and said: "If something happens to Chu Yunfei, it will be an advantage for him. Otherwise, if he loses the battle, I will also deal with him militaryally. Chu Yunfei is so incompetent, I really don't understand why Shangfeng values him." ?And placing his troops into our Ninth Corps obviously lowered the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Corps.
At first I argued hard that I didn't want them, but Shangfeng suppressed them forcefully. Now I see what else Shangfeng can say. "
The chief of staff said with some worry: "I didn't expect Chu Yunfei's 358th Division to collapse so quickly. If the 25th Army collapses like this, do we have to send troops to clean up the mess?"
Qi Guangyang shook his head and said: "Wait and see. The 25th Army is still an army after all. Even if they have no combat effectiveness, they can still consume part of the Japanese army. When the Japanese army has almost eaten them, send our direct troops to stop the Japanese army. At this time, the Japanese army has just gone through a fierce battle and has lost its vigor. It should be at the end of its war effort and its attack power has been greatly weakened. Our direct troops will definitely be able to block the Japanese attack."
The chief of staff nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Let's see if this Chu Yunfei and his troops can fight? If they don't have the ability, they deserve to be consumed. If they can fight, it won't do us any harm. If there's a hard nut to crack in the future, just send them in. Let's watch a good show here."
Just when everyone was ready to watch the fun with the idea of gloating about their misfortune, a communications staff officer appeared at the door of the war room with a telegram. He handed the telegram to the director of the operations department. After reading it, the director looked weird. A look of disbelief.
The chief of staff who was accompanying Qi Guangyang to talk saw the face of the director of operations and asked: "Where did the telegram come from? What happened?"
The director of the operations department came forward and said: "Reporting to the participants, this is a telegram from Chu Yunfei of the 25th Army, saying that they have achieved a great victory."
"What? A great victory?" The chief of staff took the telegram in confusion. After reading it, his face looked in disbelief, and then handed the telegram to Qi Guangyang.
Qi Guangyang was also in disbelief after reading it, and said to him: "How is this possible? Chu Yunfei only used one division of the 358th Division, and he was able to block the Japanese attack and achieved a great victory. He quickly sent someone to check and see Are they lying about military information? If so, I will definitely deal with them under military law."
The chief of staff nodded towards the director of operations and motioned for him to investigate quickly.
The director of the operations department went over and made a phone call, and then everyone waited for the news. Soon after, the communications staff came in again holding a telegram.
The Chief of Operations stepped forward to receive the telegram, glanced at it hastily, and submitted it to the Chief of Staff.
After reading the telegram, the chief of staff said: "It turns out that the matter is true. This telegram was sent by the liaison team of the 25th Army sent by the Corps Command Headquarters, confirming the content reported by Chu Yunfei."
Qi Guangyang, the chief of staff, the director of operations and others were whispering here, which had attracted the attention of others in the war room. They all set their sights here, wondering what happened.
Qi Guangyang hesitated there, wondering whether he should announce this good news.
The chief of staff thought for a while and then said: "Si Ling, this matter cannot be hidden. The 25th Army was able to achieve a great victory only under your leadership, Siring. This is also a great victory achieved by our Ninth Corps, or is it Report it truthfully.”
Qi Guangyang woke up, and with a smile on his face, he said: "Yes, the 25th Army was ordered by the Corps to fight the Japanese army. The Corps also gave strong support to their operations, so they obtained This victory.
Chief of Staff, please prepare a report and submit it to the Ninth Theater Command. "
The chief of staff handed over the writing of the report to the director of the operations department, looked for Qi Guangyang's opinion with his eyes, and when he nodded, he cleared his throat and said to everyone in the war room: "Everyone, I want to announce something now. Good news. Under the command of Commander Si Ling and the guidance of the Corps' Si Ling Department, Commander Chu Yunfei's 25th Army won a great victory at Waibaziling. They defeated a Japanese brigade, annihilated a Japanese infantry regiment, and captured The commander of the regiment has been appointed. At present, the Japanese troops have withdrawn across the board."
The staff officers of the Ninth Corps did not have much confidence in fighting the Japanese army. After hearing the good news, they were a little unbelievable for a moment, but they were still happy that the Guo army troops could win the battle against Japan. After a while, The war room burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Chu Yunfei's 358th Division achieved a great victory at Waibaziling, and both the 25th Army and the 9th Corps were commended by their superiors.
Chu Yunfei was arranged by Shangfeng and handed over to the Ninth War Zone. Originally, the generals in the Ninth War Zone who were mainly from the civil engineering department were not optimistic about the 358th Division from the Jinsui Army. Unexpectedly, they had just arrived here and had not fully rested. They were not even familiar with the enemy situation and terrain, so they rushed into the battle. Under such circumstances, they could actually annihilate an infantry regiment of the Japanese army and capture the Japanese infantry regiment leader. great victory.
Chu Yunfei and the 358th Division immediately impressed everyone. To be honest, such a record has never been seen in the ninth theater. They studied the situation carefully and learned that Chu Yunfei had been fighting side by side with Xu Dalong before. They concluded that the reason why Chu Yunfei was able to fight so well must be the experience he gained from Xu Dalong. Otherwise, there is no way to explain that Chu Yunfei, who was also a graduate of Huangpu, led the Jinsui Army from a miscellaneous army, and could actually achieve a more brilliant record than the Zhongyang Army. If it weren't for Xu Dalong, there would be no way to explain it.
Such remarks from the Ninth War Zone quickly reached Chu Yunfei's ears. Chu Yunfei did not feel frustrated or uncomfortable. To be honest, Chu Yunfei has really learned a lot of advanced tactics from Xu Dalong in recent years. In fighting the Japanese army, he not only gained experience, but also gained confidence. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has taken advantage of Xu Dalong.
No matter what, after this great victory, Chu Yunfei still gained a firm foothold in the ninth theater.
The Japanese army is very arrogant, and they must retaliate after suffering a loss. Shortly after the battle at Waibaziling, the Japanese army once again dispatched an infantry brigade, strengthened artillery, engineers and tank troops, and launched another attack on the 25th Army.
Due to the great victory of the 358th Division, the morale of the other two divisions of the 25th Army was also improved. They cooperated with the 358th Division and under the command of Chu Yunfei, they once again repelled the Japanese attack. Although this time they annihilated the Japanese army unorganized and fought a war of attrition, the Japanese army did not take advantage and lost more than 2,500 troops. Not only did they fail to capture the 25th Army's defense area, they also suffered a counterattack from the 25th Army.
The Japanese army hastily withdrew from Cangwu County. During the retreat, they were attacked by a battalion of the 358th Division Guard Regiment. The division's field hospital was destroyed and a Japanese major general was captured.
Chu Yunfei's 25th Army won consecutive battles, which completely established Chu Yunfei's position in the ninth theater. The commander of the war zone greatly encouraged him and said that he would treat Chu Yunfei as his direct troops from now on.
Because of the relationship between Xu Dalong and Chu Yun'er, Xu Dalong was also very concerned about Chu Yunfei. Since Chu Yunfei's troops were transferred, he had been worried about Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei has an arrogant personality and is not good at interpersonal relationships. Xu Dalong secretly paved the way for him, hoping to help Chu Yunfei gain a foothold in the Ninth War Zone.
Xu Dalong received the telegram from Chu Yunfei and was happy for him when he saw his current situation. Xu Dalong sent a telegram to express his congratulations and told Chu Yunfei that no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would just send a telegram and he would do his best to help.
Chu Yunfei really needed Xu Dalong's help for something. The Japanese army was extremely vindictive. They launched two attacks on Chu Yunfei's 25th Army but failed to take advantage. They were very angry about this and requested air force support. The Japanese Seventh Air Force stationed in Changsha bombed the positions of the 25th Army many times.
Chu Yunfei asked Xu Dalong to send a special force to clear out the Japanese airport. Xu Dalong did not hesitate and handed over this task to the Fourth Squadron of the Special Warfare Brigade. The Fourth Squadron, with four 107mm rocket launchers, secretly lurked near Changsha Airport and bombarded the airport with rocket launchers. As a result, more than 60 Japanese combat aircraft were blown up, and the airport facilities were also severely damaged. In a short period of time, No more bombing can be carried out within this period.
This attack did not reveal the identity of the Eighth Route Army and was carried out in the name of Chu Yunfei's 25th Army Guard Regiment. As a result, the 25th Army once again won the Ninth Theater Award.
This morning, Xu Dalong was reading documents in the office, and Zhao Gang walked in.
Seeing Zhao Gang's happy face, Xu Dalong made tea for him and asked, "Commissioner Zheng, what's the good news?"
Zhao Gang sat down and said: "There are more than one good thing. The first is that the students assigned to us by the Anti-Japanese University have arrived. You are really proud of us. You have assigned 37 students to us in one go. I have already inquired about it. Among all the military divisions, we have the most students assigned to us. It seems that your last trip to the Anti-Japanese University was really not in vain, hehehe."
Xu Dalong made the tea and placed the teapot in front of Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang reached out and took it, nodded, and expressed his gratitude. He continued: "My teacher introduced more than 20 graduates of Yanjing University from Peking and they have entered our base area. The underground party in Peiping also sent us more than 20 young workers and came with them. "
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This is all good news. Our base area is too short of talents. This time we have added so much to us, which is really a thing worth celebrating. But this matter must be kept secret for the time being, otherwise it will be The superiors are targeting us, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep many of them.”
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Don't worry. These students and workers from Peiping are coming to our Mawushan base area. We had already made an agreement before they came, otherwise they wouldn't come. So. , It’s useless for others to be angry about this matter, haha.” Zhao Gang laughed a little proudly.
Xu Dalong said happily: "This is really great. There has been a lot of good news in our base area recently. The regiment commander and the others have captured the No. 1 military station. Although the supplies captured are not that much, most of them have been destroyed, but still The harvest has been great. The Taiyuan Arsenal has also been destroyed by us. More than 30 technical backbones have been mobilized to our base area, and it will be here in the next two days.
Those graduates from the Anti-Japanese University, as well as the students and young workers from Peiping, please settle down first. When the regiment leader and others come back, we will have a good celebration. "
Zhao Gang picked up the tea vat, gently blew the floating tea leaves, took a sip, and said: "There is another good news. The county brigade of Ying County reported that the armed workers team they sent rescued a man in the enemy-occupied area. The troupe. After mobilization, they are willing to come to our base area. I thought we were going to hold a celebration, so I notified the Ministry of Human Resources and Armed Forces and asked them to send someone to send the troupe to us. We will sing the opera for a few days. "
Although there are already movies in this era, after all, they can only be seen in big cities. Although the Mawushan Military Division also organized a screening team, the number of films was limited after all. Most of the films seized were self-proclaimed and promoted by the island country, and there were not many to watch.
Everyone can only watch those few movies over and over again. Even so, many units can't take the turn to watch them. A relatively high-end form of entertainment in this era was theater, and theater troupes were very popular.
Xu Dalong came from a later generation and had seen a variety of forms of entertainment. He was not very interested in the slow rhythm of the babbling troupe, which was a form of entertainment.
However, he knew that everyone except himself was very interested, and said: "This is also a good thing. If the troupe is of high quality, we can find a way to keep them. We can also let them cooperate with our publicity team and film Some new anti-Japanese dramas.
These people have been studying acting since they were young, and their acting skills are higher than those of our art troupe members who became monks halfway. Everyone can learn from each other and improve our literary and artistic level. "
Zhao Gang said: "That's what I think. If possible, I will mobilize them to stay. And I also have an idea. During the Chinese New Year, we will invite a group of opera troupes to sing in advance and hold a literary performance. Select from them. Find a few high-level people and mobilize them to join our Eighth Route Army."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "These are all your duties. If you look at the arrangement, I applaud it with both hands." (End of Chapter)
