Perhaps everyone thought that it would take a long time to consolidate Xie Baoqing's newly acquired such a large territory, including Chu Yunfei who received the news.
On the surface, Chu Yunfei made a profit from this business. He conquered and secured Pingyuan County, but he lost most of the original defense area.
Originally, Chu Yunfei had a battalion stationed on the front line of Yanfeng Village in Yuwangdong, but Xie Tian deployed an entire armored infantry regiment here, including 6 Type 97 tanks, 3 Type 94 tanks, mortars, light and heavy machine gun grenades. There were countless barrels, and three battalions with one to two thousand men surrounded his battalion on three sides, leaving only one direction facing Yangqu that could be freely entered and exited.
But Yangqu is a Japanese war zone.
The most annoying thing is that they also cut off the battalion's telephone line to the regiment headquarters. When the battalion commander went to negotiate, Li Changshun, the commander of the Armored Infantry Regiment, explained that it was accidentally cut off.
Damn it, if I accidentally broke it, you should reconnect it for me.
If it breaks, it breaks, and I can't even try to connect the door.
What else did Li Changshun say? Since your Jin-Sui army doesn't dare to fight Yangqu, then just step aside and watch us fight.
Chu Yunfei became depressed, I don't dare to fight Yang Qu, how dare you Xie Baoqing?
Yangqu is a satellite city of Taiyuan. Attacking Yangqu is equivalent to attacking Taiyuan. Even if you have a few tanks, you will not dare to provoke the Japanese in Taiyuan.
It's just a matter of grabbing territory. Why do you find such a big excuse?
Chu Yunfei was angry: "Get me a car, I'm going to meet this Xie Baoqing."
Without the threat from the air, Chu Yunfei now travels by car. After all, riding a car is much more efficient than riding a horse.
Fang Ligong hurriedly dissuaded: "Regiment leader, since Xie Baoqing dares to blatantly rob our defense area, he must have something to rely on. You must not be involved in danger. We'd better report it to the Second Theater Commander's Headquarters and take a look at the Second War What are the orders from the district commander’s department?”
Chu Yunfei laughed: "Brother Ligong, Xie Baoqing robbed me of my territory, and I have to report to the Second Theater Commander's Headquarters. I, Chu Yunfei, don't want this face anymore?"
After saying that, the smile on Chu Yunfei's face instantly disappeared, he tugged on his white gloves and strode out of the door towards the car. He ordered the adjutant: "Drive to Zhangzhuang."
Fang Ligong hurriedly chased him out: "If the group must go, then bring more people with you."
Chu Yunfei sneered: "When I go to see Xie Baoqing, do I need to bring the whole group with me? Brother Ligong, don't worry, Xie Baoqing won't do anything to me."
Fang Ligong smiled bitterly. That's right. Xie Baoqing is in the limelight now. He has won several great victories one after another. Now he has reached the point where he has an armored infantry regiment. Even if we bring the whole regiment up, we probably won't be his opponent. , so what is the difference between taking one person and taking a company of guards?
If Xie Baoqing wants to harm the group, it will be useless no matter how many people he brings.
It was a smooth journey from Pingyuan County to Zhangzhuang. Even Chu Yunfei himself did not realize that since Xie Baoqing raised his team in Dagu Town, the strategic situation within a radius of several hundred miles has completely changed.
Zhangzhuang, Pingyuan County, Shanyin County, and ancient towns have been taken back from the Japanese one after another, and fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and Xie Baoqing's People's Liberation Army. Although they all appear to be inseparable, they are all Chinese after all.
In the past, would Chu Yunfei dare to travel in a car with such arrogance?
Dream on.
Chu Yunfei didn't know that even Yanmen Pass had been recaptured by the Eighth Route Army. Now only the big cities in northwest Shanxi are still under the control of the Japanese, such as Taiyuan, Yangquan, Qizhou, Datong, etc. From a strategic point of view, Look, the ministries of the Second War Zone have successfully cut off the main force of the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi, realizing the great idea of encircling the city from the countryside proposed by Mao in Yan'an.
It wasn't that Chu Yunfei didn't have an overall view, or it was because of the poor communication of information. He had only just received the news that the Eighth Route Army had recaptured Shanyin County.
Compared to them, Xie Tian paid more attention to the collection and transmission of information. As early as the beginning of the occupation of Zhangzhuang, he had already arranged for Qin Fen to build an information intelligence network.
Just limited to the current communication equipment and traffic conditions, the information transmission is still not that smooth, but it is much better than the information transmission of Chu Yunfei and the Eighth Route Army. Even Gao Ernuo who was sent to Qizhou brought an engine. The telegraph machine goes over, and if there is any situation, a telegram will be sent back.
Chu Yunfei came to Zhangzhuang aggressively and was stopped by the sentry on duty outside the village.
Chu Yunfei got out of the car and looked at the sentry who patted the dust on his uniform with his white gloves, and said with a straight face: "I am Chu Yunfei, and I want to see Xie Baoqing."
When Chu Yunfei dusted him off, he was actually reminding the sentry to see clearly who I am. I am a colonel of the national army. What do you think, you are just a miscellaneous army.
When he heard that the person coming was Chu Yunfei, the sentry didn't dare to neglect him. He gave a military salute and said, "Please wait a moment. I'll call for instructions."
The sentry walked into the guard box to make a call, quickly turned around and came out, saluted Chu Yunfei again and said: "Our division commander invites you to come in. He is at the training ground. From here, walk straight ahead through Zhangzhuang and walk out of Zhangzhuang. You will see it." .”
Teacher?
Chu Yunfei laughed.
This kid even promoted himself, the regiment leader became a division commander.
Chu Yunfei nodded and turned back to the car to tell the adjutant: "Keep moving forward."
The sentry moved the roadblock and Chu Yunfei's car drove into Zhangzhuang.
When we were outside the town, there were hills and trees blocking our view. When we entered Zhangzhuang, Chu Yunfei grinned secretly when he saw Zhangzhuang Town reduced to a flat land in front of him.
After the war in Pingyuan County, you can still see the appearance of the county seat. The houses were only 50% damaged. This village was simply destroyed. How harsh was the attack?
The car drove very slowly, and you could see many soldiers in camouflage uniforms and ordinary people working together on the ruins of Zhangzhuang, picking up the materials that could be used in the ruins.
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, why were there so many soldiers busy on the ruins? How many people did Xie Baoqing have now?
At this time, the adjutant shrugged his nose and said to Chu Yunfei: "What is Xie Baoqing burning? It smells so bad."
In fact, the fire that had burned the corpses for several days had long been extinguished, but the smell still took a long time to completely dissipate.
Chu Yunfei said expressionlessly: "It's rare but strange. This is the smell of burning corpses."
The adjutant secretly grinned. How many people would have to die to dispose of the body by burning it? It seems that Xie Baoqing's battle at Zhangzhuang was more difficult than our battle to capture Pingyuan County.
The car passed through Zhangzhuang Town slowly. It was very rare for a military vehicle with the national army logo to appear in Zhangzhuang, so it naturally attracted many people's attention.
Pang Yuan was standing on the ruins talking to a few friends he had called in letters. When he saw a national army military vehicle approaching, he couldn't help but take a second look. As a result, he was looking at Chu Yunfei who was looking over. .
Chu Yunfei saw Pang Yuan's appearance clearly, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ordered to the adjutant: "Stop the car."
