In Pingyuan County, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were studying the upcoming siege of Qizhou and Yangqu in front of the Tuanzhi sand table.
The siege of Qizhou has nothing to do with the 358th Regiment, but the siege of Yangqu is closely related to the 358th Regiment. After all, according to Xie Tian's promise, after Yangqu is defeated, it will be the territory of the 358th Regiment.
Faced with such a huge temptation, and with Xie Tian's troops as the vanguard, Fang Ligong no longer persuaded Chu Yunfei to be cautious.
One regiment occupies the land of two counties, which is unique in the second theater.
And even if it is not defeated, there will be no loss for the 358th Regiment. In this battle, the 358th Regiment only plays an assisting role, and there is a lot of room for free play.
Chu Yunfei took off the flag of the Second Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army, thought for a while and planted it very close to Qizhou. He frowned and asked, "Brother Ligong, how do you think Xie Baoqing will fight in this battle?"
Fang Ligong looked at the flag planted by Chu Yunfei and said: "The outpost called back last night to report that Xie Baoqing's troops have passed the outpost. The marching speed of the Second Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army exceeded my expectations. This commander of the Ma Regiment It's too reckless. Marching like this will cause the soldiers to be tired and will directly affect morale. The Art of War says that a tired army will be defeated. With all due respect, if Xie Baoqing's troops did not rest outside Qizhou City for a day or two, even if he had a plan, I would not I’m not optimistic that he can successfully capture Qizhou.”
Chu Yunfei frowned and looked at Fang Ligong. Fang Ligong continued: "Although the Qizhou Miura Regiment is only a Category C unit, the commander of the Regiment Miura Yuzo graduated from the 87th batch of the Japanese Army University and ranked among the students in the same period. One hundred and fifty people ago, it is said that he is very good at positional warfare. In a siege, he must use three times the number of troops to surround him to have a 70% chance of winning. Although Xie Baoqing mobilized two regiments to attack Qizhou, he still had a 70% chance of winning. It is roughly the same strength as the Qizhou Sanpu Regiment and the assisting appeasement army. Xie Baoqing can only suppress the Qizhou Japanese army to a certain extent in terms of weapons and equipment, but he only has two aircraft and cannot play a big role. effect."
Chu Yunfei nodded thoughtfully: "If he also transfers the armored infantry regiment to attack Qizhou together, then there will be no suspense in the peripheral battle."
Fang Ligong hummed: "Xie Baoqing is too arrogant. Even if he captures the outskirts of Qizhou, street fighting in the city will still be difficult. I guess..."
At this time, the phone on the desk next to him rang. Fang Ligong stopped talking and walked over to answer the phone. As soon as he heard the sentence, Fang Ligong exclaimed in shock, and even his voice changed: "What? What did you say? Xie Baoqing has already Did you defeat Qizhou?"
Chu Yunfei was stunned for a moment and quickly walked over and snatched the phone from Fang Ligong, who was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "I am Chu Yunfei, how did Xie Baoqing capture Qizhou?"
With Xie Tian's consent, Chu Yunfei dispatched an observer to the Second Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army. He was a staff officer of the 358th Infantry Regiment and acted with the Second Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army.
It took Xie Baoqing's troops only three hours to capture the well-defended Qizhou City.
How can this be?
Could it be that the Japanese Miura Regiment in Qizhou were all made of paper, and they were all blown down by blowing their breath?
Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei who was answering the phone with a pale face, with patches of red and white on his face.
This slap in the face came too fast. Just now, he was not optimistic about the Qizhou battle organized by Xie Baoqing.
As a result, it only took three hours to capture Qizhou.
Three hours.
Even if you are singing and walking into Qizhou City, it will probably take you so long, right?
After a long time, Chu Yunfei put down the phone. He stood there for a while and was stunned. Then he suddenly picked up his military cap and strode out the door.
Fang Ligong hurriedly caught up and asked, "Tuanzuo, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Quzhou for a visit. You stay home and don't follow me."
"Group seat..."
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and got into the car and ordered to the adjutant: "Go to Quzhou as fast as possible."
The adjutant was startled and hurriedly drove out of the old county government office, his heart pounding.
Quzhou is the Japanese war zone, and Xie Baoqing's team is about to attack Quzhou. What are the two of us doing rushing there?
Chu Yunfei rushed all the way to Quzhou. The smoke on the battlefield had cleared, but it could be seen that the battle was fierce. The Japanese peripheral fortifications were almost reduced to rubbish, and all the fortifications on the surface were flattened.
Outside the city, the Second Infantry Regiment and the Engineer Company of Madong were cleaning the battlefield and clearing mines. I am afraid it will take several days to clear the large minefield.
Chu Yunfei's car was stopped by PLA soldiers on guard. Chu Yunfei got out of the car and looked at the sentry and said, "I am Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment, and I want to see your division commander."
The sentry saluted Chu Yunfei and said with a smile: "Hello, Commander Chu, I know you. I was originally from the fifth battalion, and I was captured by you as a young man. In Dagu Town, I surrendered to the People's Liberation Army with Commander Wu, and now I am also in the platoon. It’s grown.”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Chu Yunfei's face: "The nation is about to perish. Everyone has the responsibility to protect their homeland and the country. It is helpless to arrest young men."
The sentry smiled and said: "Our People's Liberation Army has never captured young men. My division commander said that carrying a gun to fight is to fight the Japanese. Farming at home and performing one's duties at home is also a contribution to the country. Therefore, our People's Liberation Army only recruits those who are willing to carry up the task. Someone who goes to the battlefield with a gun to fight the Japanese."
Chu Yunfei was speechless. He didn't want to discuss this issue with a sentry anymore. He looked at the battlefield and asked, "Where is your division commander? Is he here?"
The sentry shook his head: "The division commander is not here. There is no airport here. He should have returned to Zhangzhuang or Dagu Town. My regiment commander is here. Do you want to see him?"
Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment, nodded, and replied: "Okay."
Even though I didn't get to see Xie Baoqing as I wished, I would still like to meet his regiment leader. At least I should have a clear understanding of how they fought this battle.
The sentry ran to the side, picked up the telephone on the ammunition box, and shook it. After the call was connected, he asked for instructions, turned around, ran back, waved to his men, moved away the roadblock, saluted Chu Yunfei, and said: "My regimental commander is waiting for Chu at the regiment headquarters. Commander, the regiment headquarters is located at the Japs Baochao Bureau. You can see it by walking straight after Commander Chu enters the city."
Chu Yunfei nodded, returned a military salute to the sentry, turned around, sat back in the car, and ordered to drive.
Returning a gift to a sentry was something that had never happened to Chu Yunfei. This gift could be regarded as an apology for catching a young man.
The car drove all the way into Qizhou City and saw the Japanese corpses piled up by the People's Liberation Army outside the city gate. Chu Yunfei suddenly regretted that he had not asked the sentry about the casualties of the People's Liberation Army in this battle. The information he got from the sentry should be the closest to the truth. situation.
Such a large-scale battle ended in three hours, which is incredible in itself.
What's even more incredible is that when Chu Yunfei just passed by the health team's tent, he saw through the open tent door that it was empty, not even a wounded soldier.
