Li Yunlong's analysis is basically consistent with Kong Jie's view.
Kong Jie was still a little emotional, "Old Li! Don't you think it's interesting? An hour ago, it was him, Chu Yunfei, who was standing on the top of this city tower, watching the battle between us and the Japanese at Cangyunling. The roles in front of him were reversed. Now, it’s Chu Yunfei’s turn to fight the Japanese, let’s just watch the excitement here.”
Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie with a strange smile, "Old Kong, I just discovered that you are quite good at deceiving others. If you hadn't lured the little Japs to the defense area of the 358th Regiment, would there have been the battle in front of us? ?”
Kong Jile said: "You are a typical example of an emperor who is not anxious and an eunuch who is anxious. Maybe Chu Yunfei will thank me from the bottom of his heart!"
"Did he thank you?"
"What's not clear about this? Chu Yunfei is also a man. We kill Japanese here. Do you think he doesn't feel itchy? I brought the little Japanese to his mouth. This is a piece of fat. This is If the battle is over, just watch! His reputation as the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army will be established."
"That's right!" Li Yunlong said: "We are not afraid of giving Chu Yunfei a great service. After this battle, the little devil will probably be thinking about more than just our Eighth Route Army."
Kong Jie smiled. Li Yunlong was indeed cunning and thought of going together with him.
Didn't the Jinsui Army like to watch the excitement? When the Eighth Route Army was fighting the Japanese, they just stood aside and watched, hanging up the "war-free card"!
Just use your own tricks to divert trouble to the east.
It’s up to Chu Yunfei if you don’t want the military exploits delivered to your door.
If not, the Jinsui Army will lose face, and Chu Yunfei will lose even more face.
If necessary, the feud between the Jinsui Army and the Japanese Army has been forged.
If the Shanxi-Sui Army still wants to make a big fuss through the battle of the 358th Regiment that severely defeated the Bantian Regiment, the anti-Japanese momentum on the surface will naturally have to be sufficient.
And even if the Jinsui Army doesn't want to make a fuss about this matter, the Eighth Route Army's propaganda department will still do it for them.
At that time, even if the Jinsui Army pinches its nose, it can only stand on the opposite side of the Japanese.
This is a conspiracy!
"Old Li, you are right. This Bantian United team is a piece of fat. We personally delivered it to Chu Yunfei's mouth."
"But we can't just watch this kid eat alone, no matter what, we should get a share of the pie!"
Li Yunlong immediately became interested, "Damn it, Lao Kong, you and I peed into the same pot! I think so too, you see, the Japs in the Bantian Alliance are really tough, even if they eat a little in front of you Unfortunately, Chu Yunfei may not be able to take on this Japs."
"Just now we saw many Japs rushing out of the last line of defense of the Jinsui Army. It seems that the little Japs are not stupid. They don't want to be shut down and beaten by Chu Yunfei, so they rush out in a hurry. What do you think if we do it again at this time? Kill him with a single shot, hehe, it’s enough for the little devil to drink a pot.”
"Really?" Kong Jie asked.
Li Yunlong said happily: "I chose to break out of the siege from the front. I didn't even care about the orders from my superiors. Are I afraid that I will fail again?"
"Then do it!" Kong Jie said.
The two hit it off immediately and took action as soon as they were told. They immediately mobilized the main combat forces of the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment, preparing to fight back with carbine.
Captain Xu of the 771st Regiment hesitated, "Old Li, Old Kong, we have already violated the order of our superiors. Now according to the arrangements of our superiors, we should choose to evacuate immediately. If we take the initiative to start a war, I'm afraid..."
Before Kong Jie could speak, Li Yunlong said impatiently: "Xu Luosuo, why are you still so nagging? In the previous battle at Cangyunling, I almost lost all the wealth of the new regiment. Now I will kill you." Go back and get some books. If you don’t want to go, then you can take your group of seven and seven to watch from behind, Lao Kong, let’s go.”
Seeing that Li Yunlong was about to pull Kong Jie away, Captain Xu hurriedly said: "Old Li, what you said, I didn't say I wouldn't do it!"
Li Yunlong immediately changed his smile and turned around enthusiastically to pull Captain Xu, "Tell me earlier! Lao Xu, the three of us will do this deal together. Afterwards, we will split the account 30/30, and no one will lose to the other!"
Li Yunlong still cares about Xiao Jiujiu. The 771st Regiment is also the main force of the 386th Brigade. In the previous battle at Cangyunling, he violated the orders of his superiors, and he actually felt guilty.
Just like bad boys always want to get good boys to work with them.
The law does not hold everyone accountable!
In this way, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the 771st Regiment each brought their main combat forces, turned their guns, and shot back towards the Bantian Regiment, which was fighting a fierce battle with the 358th Regiment.
The battle at the 358th Regiment's outer fortifications has entered a fever pitch.
The sudden attack of the 358th Regiment, coupled with the advantages of artillery and sophisticated equipment, the Japanese of Sakata Regiment did suffer a lot.
The Japanese temporary headquarters immediately noticed Chu Yunfei's intention, so in order to avoid being forced back to the outer fortification area by Chu Yunfei's artillery fire, they ordered the forward troops to brave artillery fire and continue to break through the 358 under the cover of counterattack fire. The second node of the regiment's outer defense zone.
However, the fierceness of the artillery offensive of the 358th Regiment greatly exceeded the Japanese army's expectations.
This was completely different from their previous opponent, the Eighth Route Army, in Cangyunling.
Under the fierce bombardment of the 358th Regiment regardless of the consumption of artillery shells, many of the Japanese forward troops rushed out of the second node, but the rest were driven back by the artillery fire. The Japanese army also lost two troops due to the forced charge. Three hundred people.
The Japanese who failed to break through the second node had no choice but to retreat, and then suffered a surprise attack from heavy machine gun fire ambushing the second-line defenses of the 358th Regiment.
Casualties of the Sakata Regiment spread rapidly again.
Of course, the Japanese are not vegetarians. They can quickly stabilize their position even if they are suddenly attacked, and then launch a fierce counterattack against the Jinsui Army.
The two sides started a duel between artillery and artillery, machine gun against machine gun, and infantry against infantry.
It's just that the 358th Regiment had the advantage of the right time and place, so the casualties were slightly smaller than the Sakata United Regiment.
After the two sides fought for about ten minutes, the Japanese temporary headquarters realized that the battle situation here was unfavorable and it was not suitable to stay for a long time, so they issued a strategic transfer (retreat) order.
At this time, for the Japanese army, the best way to retreat was very clear.
It is the second node of the Jinsui Army's outer defense zone that is right in front of us.
As long as they can escape from the Jinsui Army's defense zone, the Bantian Regiment can escape smoothly. The Japanese command headquarters is very confident in this. Once they leave the defense zone, even with Chu Yunfei's courage, he will never dare to lead his troops to attack.
The fact is that Chu Yunfei is indeed powerless against the Japanese who choose to retreat.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, once the scale of the Japs became too large, there were almost no examples of battles that could completely annihilate the Japs.
Chu Yunfei's previous statement that he would eat up Bantian United in one bite was just a morale booster. In fact, Chu Yunfei's best guess was that it would only hurt Bantian United, not a serious injury.
If the Japanese were really so easy to fight, the Central Army would not have been retreating steadily, and even half of China would have been lost.
Chu Yunfei led the 358th Regiment and was able to repel the Bantian Regiment. If word spread, it was enough to make him famous throughout northwest Shanxi.
In order to reduce his own casualties and reduce the pressure of the confrontation, Chu Yunfei even ordered the artillery battalion to hold back a little.
Let a group of Japs leave from the second node, and the remaining Japs will be easier to deal with.
If you can't swallow it in one bite, take half a bite first.
