It turned out that Chu Yunfei had gained insight into the changes in Zhongtiao Mountain.
In particular, the Kuomintang-controlled area's external propaganda stated that three Japanese arsenals in Zhongtiao Mountain had recently been blown up, and troops were about to be sent to Zhongtiao Mountain to regain the lost territory.
Chu Yunfei, who had a keen military sense, realized that this was an excellent opportunity to take action. He immediately mobilized his troops and secretly deployed his troops, preparing to seize two important Japanese towns around the base of the 358th Regiment in one fell swoop.
Those were two nails driven into the base of his 358th Regiment by the Japanese army. Chu Yunfei had long wanted to get rid of them.
In this regard, Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was a little worried.
He persuaded: "Commander, this matter is of great importance. Do you need to apply for a combat order from the commander's department before sending out troops?"
Chu Yunfei held the opposite opinion and said: "The officers are busy, how can they be more efficient? The application orders come and go, and the day lily is cold.
This opportunity must not be missed, the time will never come again, success or failure depends on this one move, brother of meritorious service, this time I am determined to go to war, all the consequences will be borne by Chu Mou, so please stop trying to persuade me. "
Fang Ligong sighed. He knew that Chu Yunfei was a very upright person. Now that Chu Yunfei had made up his mind, as the chief of staff, it was impossible for him to stop him.
Fang Ligong, who did the opposite, simply expressed his attitude and assisted Chu Yunfei:
"Now that the group has made up its mind, brothers will naturally fight to the death."
Speaking of this, Fang Ligong said on the sand table: "Tuanzuo, over the past year or so, although the Japanese army and our Shanxi-Sui Army have been on the surface to be on the same page, they have lost control of the two important towns controlled by the Japanese army and the advancing troops. Judging from the base, the Japanese have been wary of our group!
These two important towns are like two nails, driving hard into our hearts, leaving us tied up and unable to move. "
"If these two important towns can be eliminated in one fell swoop this time, it will definitely be of great benefit to the development of our regiment's subsequent base areas."
Chu Yunfei agreed: "Yes, this is one of the reasons why I decided to send troops this time. If I miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find another opportunity."
"Tuanzuo, I'm just worried about the Japanese army's retaliation, and I won't just watch the loss of these two important towns." Fang Ligong said.
Chu Yunfei shook his head calmly, "Don't worry, the Japanese army will never attack our regiment because they lost these two important towns."
"Oh, Tuanzuo, why is this?"
Seeing Chu Yunfei's confidence, Fang Ligong said doubtfully.
Chu Yunfei analyzed: "The Central Army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. The original situation in Shanxi, which was similar to a tripartite confrontation between the Japanese Army, the Central Army, and the Eighth Route Army, became turbulent."
"The Japanese army is determined to capture Zhongtiao Mountain, open up the north-south passage, and advance towards Luoyang."
"However, after opening up the Zhongtiao Mountain Pass, the Japanese army was also afraid that with the end of the Central Army, it would force the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army, which had already become a serious thorn in their side, to join forces to fight against Japan."
"The attitude coming from Chief Yan these days has shown all this."
"Fortunately, the joint anti-Japanese alliance on the surface is not as stable as it is in reality. However, if the Japanese army is forced by external factors at this time, such as attacking our 358th Regiment and completely breaking up with our Jinsui Army, this will be Our Jinsui Army was completely pushed to the side of the Eighth Route Army.
By then, this apparent joint anti-Japanese war will become a real show. "
He shook his head, with some self-deprecation in his words:
"The situation that Chu Mou wants to see more is that after our 358th Regiment captured these two important towns, the Japanese army dared to attack our regiment in a large scale."
"It's so cold! When will the officers of the Chief's Department truly understand this truth?"
After two days of preparations, Chu Yunfei worked hard to quickly capture these two important towns.
What Commander Chu also wants to show to the world is the powerful combat effectiveness of his 358th Regiment.
It's quite a bit like doing nothing but making a big splash.
As soon as he took action, it was immediately shocking.
The artillery battalion was divided into two groups, and both groups attacked together. After a round of artillery bombardment, the Japanese defensive position at the city gate collapsed.
Coupled with the fact that Captain Chu secretly controlled the puppet troops in the town in advance, the two parties cooperated internally and externally, and in less than an hour, they easily captured the two important military towns.
The whole battle was as fast as lightning, and a total of more than 400 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out.
By the time the Japanese army came to their senses, the flags of the 358th Regiment had been planted in the two important towns.
At this time, all the forces in northwest Shanxi realized that in addition to the Iron Triangle of the Eighth Route Army and the hungry wolf of the Independent Regiment, there was also the sleeping group of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army. Tiger.
When the news reached the new regiment, Ding Wei was quite surprised, "It's really rare that the Jinsui Army can do something like this."
As for Kong Jie, although he was surprised, after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable.
Just when the battalion commanders in the regiment were applauding Chu Yunfei and praising Chu Yunfei as a man, Kong Jie said from another perspective:
"Look carefully at the deployment situation around the 358th Regiment. The Japanese army controls two important towns, which can be said to have strangled the 358th Regiment by the throat.
Chu Yunfei destroyed these two important towns in one move, and he revitalized the entire 358th Regiment. If it were me, I would have to fight, no matter what. "
"But he chose this moment well! The Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain had just ended, the Central Army had suffered a huge defeat, and the Jinsui Army had just shown goodwill to our Eighth Route Army. If we take action at this time, the final effect will be completely different. ”
"So, everyone needs to see Chu Yunfei's side as an iron-blooded soldier, and also needs to see Chu Yunfei's strategy and insight. This is what you should learn from."
…
When the news reached the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong clapped his thighs and applauded, with some emotion in his words.
"There are not many officers in the Jinsui Army who can fight. This Chu Yunfei is a man. He fights when he wants to and never drags his feet. This is how he behaves like a soldier!"
…
No matter what, Chu Yunfei made a lot of money from this battle.
Not only did he pull out two nails in the base area, he also won a great reputation for himself.
He only thought about stabilizing the Jinsui Army and first freed up his hands to focus on dealing with the little devils in the Eighth Route Army. This was a mistake.
Afterwards, he watched helplessly as two important towns were taken away by Chu Yunfei, without even a follow-up counterattack.
There was no place to vent my anger.
Headquarters of the 358th Regiment.
Three days have passed since the 358th Regiment captured two important towns. There was no movement around, but the reputation of the 358th Regiment was completely spread out.
Chief of Staff Fang Ligong was so impressed that he said, "The leader's foresight is far worse than mine!"
…
…
On the other hand, it was said that when the news came out that three arsenals in Ji County, Yuan County, and Meng County in Zhongtiao Mountain were blown up by Han Feng and his combat team.
Yamamoto has taken the last elite of the special agent team and followed the main force of the First Army on its way back to Taiyuan City.
When the news came, Yamamoto felt incredible.
"Baga, this is absolutely impossible. The three arsenals are heavily guarded and tightly defended. How could the other party sneak in quietly and blow up the arsenal?"
"Even if they can really do it, they will never disappear without a trace after the matter is exposed."
The communications soldier who brought back the news explained with a bitter look:
"Sir, after the arsenal was bombed, the whole city was immediately sealed off and house-to-house searches were conducted in the city, but nothing suspicious was found."
"According to information from the investigating gendarmerie, the enemies who were lurking in secretly should have withdrawn from the county when the explosion occurred."
Yamamoto was silent, which reminded him of the situation when Mingbao Airport was bombed, which was somewhat similar to what he saw before him.
"Could it be someone from that guerrilla group who did it..."
Yamamoto speculated so.
But the signal corps then told Yamamoto that it had been investigated and found to be the guerrillas of the national army.
In addition, the national army has also admitted and publicized that it had blown up the empire's arsenal and was preparing to attack Zhongtiao Mountain and regain the lost territory.
Yamamoto expressed great doubts about this. How could those idiots in the national army do this?
But already on the way back, Yamamoto had no choice but to put aside his confusion and return to Taiyuan City.
Zhongtiao Mountain.
A few days later, forced by public opinion, the national army dispatched two troops, two regiments of troops, approaching Zhongtiao Mountain from two directions.
Information obtained by the Intelligence Ministry has repeatedly stated that due to the bombing of three arms depots, the Japanese garrison at Zhongtiao Mountain currently lacks ammunition and should not be able to fight a protracted war that consumes ammunition.
If we can take advantage of the enemy's lack of firepower to attack, we may be able to regain a few towns.
Who would have thought that the outcome of the battle would be shocking.
One of the National Army's regiments was suddenly ambushed by the Japanese troops on the way, and the firepower displayed by the Japanese troops was quite fierce and abundant. It did not seem like they were short of ammunition at all.
The commander of the National Army who led the team was stunned on the spot and called the Intelligence Department for doing harm to people. He immediately went to Qifen with great fighting spirit and was beaten by the Japanese and fled in panic.
The battle ended in less than an hour, and more than one-third of the Chinese army's casualties were lost.
The other group of Chinese troops was even more interesting. After hearing that the first group of Chinese troops had been defeated by the Japanese, they hurriedly turned around and retreated for fear of being left alone.
In this way, the battle that the national army vigorously promoted to the outside world to retake Zhongtiao Mountain in one fell swoop ended in an anticlimactic manner.
In the mountains and forests.
Han Feng, Zhang Min, and Du Zhongcheng were lurking here with the mountain company, watching the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Chinese army from a distance.
The Japanese army's powerful firepower and abundant ammunition indeed aroused doubts among Han Feng and the others.
Zhang Min said suspiciously: "Logically speaking, the Japs should not have such firepower, but this battle has lasted for nearly half an hour, and the Japs' firepower has not shown any signs of weakening.
Does this little devil have a hidden arsenal or spare ammunition? "
There seems to be only one explanation.
The national army was obviously panicked. Even if the Japanese had plenty of ammunition, they would not dare to attack Zhongtiao Mountain even if they had ten courages.
Han Feng waited in silence for a while, then suddenly came to his senses and shouted immediately: "Lao Zhang and Lao Du, gather your troops immediately, let's attack Yuan County now!"
"ah???"
Zhang Min and Du Zhongcheng were dumbfounded on the spot and did not go around the corner at all.
With our small force, can we go directly to attack the county town? …
