In addition to our command structures at all levels receiving the news that the independent regiment had captured Heyuan County, the telecommunications room of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army also received telegrams from their internal line lurking in Heyuan County.
The telegraph operator quickly sent the telegram to the war room of regiment leader Chu Yunfei.
He had been told by the regiment chief of staff Fang Ligong before that as soon as there was news from Heyuan County, he would send it immediately.
At this moment, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were wearing neat Jinsui Army uniforms and sitting in the war room drinking tea.
Chu Yunfei hasn't slept since he was woken up by Fang Ligong. If he didn't sleep, how could Fang Ligong dare to sleep?
I can only endure it here.
Their thoughts were all about the small Heyuan County.
Chu Yunfei never forgets to help out.
Fang Ligong, on the other hand, wished that the Eighth Route Army would be repelled by the Japs as soon as possible, so that the 358th Regiment would not have to run all the way to fight the Japs at dawn.
Obviously in Xipan Town, it’s so comfortable to have delicious food and drink!
I have nothing to do to help the Eighth Route Army. What are you doing?
The kid didn't even pass by their 358th Regiment's defense area!
"Regiment leader, chief of staff, there is a telegram from Heyuan County."
"Bring it here quickly!"
Chu Yunfei stood up, took the telegraph operator's telegram, and waved him out.
When Chu Yunfei read the telegram, his eyes widened.
Screaming out loud:
"Is this Li Yunlong again?"
When Fang Ligong heard this, he immediately asked curiously:
"Tuanzuo, what happened to Heyuan County?
Isn't Li Yunlong in southeastern Shanxi? "
Chu Yunfei handed him the telegram in his hand, shook his head and sighed:
"Our 358th regiment is really destined to be with this Li Yunlong!
Insiders said that it was Li Yunlong's independent regiment that attacked Heyuan County, and that they had already captured the county seat.
I, Chu Yunfei, can't help him in this situation! "
"What? Li Yunlong's independent group?
They actually came from southeastern Shanxi to northwest Shanxi?
What do their superiors want to do? "
Fang Ligong was also very surprised.
Read the telegram carefully.
After a moment, he said with disbelief:
"Tuanzuo, this is too evil.
It is simply unbelievable that a regiment from Tubal Road was able to capture the county town where the Japs were heavily stationed in a few hours.
According to previous reports from insiders, there are enough 1,100 people in the first brigade of the 225th Infantry Regiment in Heyuan County.
Moreover, the Heyuan Railway Station, which is only 2 kilometers away from Heyuan County, is also garrisoned by a squadron of Japs. Such a powerful force, if it were to be fought by a division of our Jinsui Army, we might not be able to win it in such a short time! "
"yes!
It is indeed unbelievable and inexplicable!
However, according to what was said in the telegram, the independent regiment used more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces to continuously bombard the city wall for at least an hour before finally destroying the city wall and breaking through the county seat, which is acceptable.
It is not unusual to use such ferocious firepower to attack the county defenders who lacked artillery power and quickly capture them. "
Chu Yunfei had a look of fascination on his face.
How much he hoped that it would be his 358th Regiment Chu Yunfei who took over Heyuan County now?
If that's the case, Commander Yan and the principal will no longer turn a blind eye to their own merits and refuse to promote themselves to the rank of major general and brigade commander, right?
He has been wearing this brand of colonel leader for several years, and he is a little tired of it!
"Tuanzuo, where do you think there are so many cannonballs on this Tuba Road?
If the bombardment continues for an hour, at least it will take hundreds of rounds, right?
Even our Jinsui Army would not dare to waste artillery shells like this!
I heard that the border arsenal on Tubal Road can only reload bullets. Can it now produce artillery shells? "
Fang Ligong felt a little doubtful about life.
Could it be that those eight-year-olds with ragged clothes and wooden blocks stuffed in their bullet bags that I had seen before were all deliberately disguised?
That's not right. On the battlefield before, they really fired three rounds of bullets before charging forward. It didn't look like they were pretending!
“Maybe it was seized.
Last time at the Huting stronghold, I saw with my own eyes that Li Yunlong's special agent company seized more than a dozen artillery pieces and hundreds of boxes of artillery shells.
It's like robbing a little devil's arsenal! "
Chu Yunfei couldn't help but feel chills in his heart when he thought of the sharpness of the special agent company.
He boasted that he was no weaker than anyone in his life, but there were really no soldiers under his command who could fight, which made him feel a little disappointed that he couldn't help his teammates.
"Hundreds of boxes of artillery shells were seized in World War I. Did this little devil deliberately aid the enemy?
Could it be that before their entire army was annihilated, wouldn't they have exploded the artillery shells? "
Fang Ligong's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it at all.
Such stupid behavior is really not something a little devil can do!
"Humph, then you have to ask the little devil.
But this is something I have witnessed with my own eyes, and there is absolutely nothing false about it! "
Chu Yunfei also couldn't figure out why the little devil seemed to be outwitted when facing the independent group.
"Tuanzuo, this independent group has also come to northwest Shanxi, and it has been so strong since its arrival. I am afraid that the peaceful days in northwest Shanxi will be gone in the future!"
Fang Ligong really doesn't want to fight with the little devils, he just wants to be a minister in peace!
How many of them were beaten and killed, and a regiment, a division, or even an entire army was wiped out?
"Hmph, we, the soldiers, are still afraid of war?
It doesn’t matter if this little devil doesn’t come to mess with me. If there is a chance, I, Chu Yunfei, will have to tell them that not only the Eighth Route Army can fight, but also our 358th Regiment is not easy to mess with!
If there is a sufficient supply of artillery shells, our artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment can also use artillery to blow down the city wall! "
Chu Yunfei was aroused by the outstanding performance of the independent group and was eager to win. He couldn't help but want to cause trouble for the little devil and promote Chu Yunfei's power.
After hearing his words, Fang Ligong was a little speechless and thought to himself: Tuan Zuo, Tuan Zuo, just calm down!
Don't think that because Commander Yang is protecting you, you can do whatever you want.
You really ruined Commander Yan’s plan. No one can save you!
He quickly reminded:
"Commander, I think there may be some meaning behind Commander Yang's transfer of us to northwest Shanxi this time."
"What's the meaning?"
Chu Yunfei was puzzled.
"Maybe Commander Yang wants us to keep an eye on this independent regiment!
After all, in our Jinsui Army, you know Li Yunlong best. "
Fang Ligong expressed his guess.
"Oh, what Brother Ligong said is interesting."
Chu Yunfei nodded.
He instantly thought of the next war, immediately walked to the map, made two gestures, and then said with emotion:
“Commander Yang and Chief Yan are really far-sighted.
But I guess they definitely not only want us to keep an eye on Li Yunlong, but they may also have another meaning, that is, they are ready to let us occupy Shuiquan at any time. "
"Yes. Very possible."
Fang Ligong also agreed with Chu Yunfei's idea.
They are both smart people, and although they don't say it explicitly, they understand each other's meaning.
Chu Yunfei immediately ordered:
"Send someone to find out where Li Yunlong's independent regiment is stationed. I'm going to find another opportunity to meet Brother Yunlong."
"Tuanzuo, what do you want?"
Now it was Fang Ligong's turn to be confused.
“Now that we are still friendly forces, of course we must get along in a friendly manner.
Next time Brother Yunlong has something big like attacking the county town, I, Chu Yunfei, will still have to help out.
I believe that if something happens to our 358th regiment, Brother Yunlong will not stand idly by. "
Chu Yunfei looked inscrutable and did not reveal his innermost thoughts to Fang Ligong.
Fang Ligong didn't know whether he understood it or not, but just nodded and agreed.
