Chapter 414: Restoring the County
"You actually understand military affairs?" Sakamoto Takaichima felt a little surprised. "Can you see that Heyuan County and Fu'an County are already difficult to defend?"
Hiroo Akai smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, Pan Sang is also a member of the Imperial Army."
Takaichi Sakamoto turned his head and saw a map of northwestern Shanxi sticking to the wall of the military police.
At that moment, Takaichi Sakamoto walked to the map and asked, "Pan Sang, can you understand the map?"
"I haven't learned it." Pan Ren smiled and shook his head, then turned the subject and said, "But I can understand it."
"You can understand the map even if you haven't learned it?" Sakamoto said in surprise, "Can you be the legendary military genius?"
"Military geniuses must not be considered a military genius," said Pan Ren. "But the first time I saw this thing in the regiment headquarters, I thought it was actually quite simple. Without anyone to teach me, I could see where it is a mountain, water, railway, and bridge? Our regiment commander didn't believe it, but I pointed it up and was right."
"Yoxi." Sakamoto nodded and said, "Then combine with the map, you can continue talking."
"Hayi." Pan Ren paused his head suddenly, then walked to the map and pointed at the map, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, Shini Taijun, please see, the north and south sides of Heyuan County and Fu'an County have been severely squeezed, and the north and south width of the entire security area is even less than ten miles. As long as the Eighth Route Army is willing, it can cut off this narrow area at any time."
"Then, Heyuan and Fu'an County will lose their connection with Anhua."
"At present, the Eighth Route Army has just finished a big battle and is still unable to attack for the time being."
"But after this year, when the Eighth Route Army recovers, Fu'an County and Heyuan County will completely become two pieces of fat meat at the mouth of the Independent Corps, and you can eat it whenever you want."
Takaichi Sakamoto frowned and said, "So, are you proposing to give up these two prefectures?"
In the plan envisioned by Takaichi Sakamoto, what needs to be given up is only remote strongholds such as Xiji Fortress, and Heyuan County and Fu'an County cannot be given up.
But now after Pan Ren's analysis,
Sakamoto Takaichi suddenly realized that it seemed better to give up?
Give up these two counties and towns, it will be more conducive to the 69th Division concentrating its superior forces and launching more powerful attacks in any direction around.
As for the disadvantages caused by the loss of these territories, it seems that it is not worth mentioning.
Pan Ren smiled slightly and said, "Give up the two counties, Heyuan and Fu'an, not only to help the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army concentrate their precious forces, but also has an additional benefit."
Yoshio Akai continued: "Get apart from the relationship between the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Central Army!"
"Yes." Pan Ren said with a flattering look, "As Shin-Yi Taijun said, after the Jinsui army occupied Heyuan and the Central Army occupied Fu'an County, the three controlled areas of their three families were all together. This is like the rural areas in our hometown. There are always the most conflicts between neighbors, and sometimes they can fight because of a drainage ditch."
He paused and smiled grimly, "Even if they can tolerate each other, we can add more information. In short, it is not difficult to provoke a fight among them."
"Yo Xi." Sakamoto Takaichi said happily, "Pan Sang is indeed as Ai Kishi said, with great ability."
"I dare not." Pan Ren said quickly, "I am just a little clever, and I can't compare with the Chief of Staff and Tae-kun Ai."
"Haha, Pansang, you are too modest."
Takaichi Sakamoto laughed twice and said, "From now on, you will be the commander of the 7th Division of the Imperial Army."
"Yes!" Pan Ren was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately touched his legs and expressed his determination, "Please rest assured, Chief of Staff, I will definitely rectify the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association in the shortest time."
"Yes." Takashi Sakamoto nodded, "Originally, I wanted to give you a suggestion to teach you how to rectify the troops, but now I think there is probably no need for this. Pan Sang, you don't need others to teach you at all. Just let it go. Even if you leak the sky, there will be Kan Ai and I will take care of you."
...
A few days later, Chongqing Huangshan official residence, Yunxiu Tower.
Liu Fei is explaining to President Chang and a group of senior generals of the Party and the country the latest enemy-to-me situation in the Second Battle of Changsha.
Liu Fei pointed to the map with a wooden pole in his hand and said, "As of today, my 58th Army and the 72nd Army have advanced to the entire line along the Xinyun River and completely restored their pre-war positions."
"This battle killed more than 17,000 Japanese invaders."
"Okay!" Chang Kaishen said heavily, "Beat beautifully!"
The senior generals also nodded, thinking that Xue Boling could still fight.
Chang Kaishen said again: "Bree, immediately call Xue Boling in the name of the attendant's room and commend him."
"Yes!" Chen Bulei responded and hurriedly left.
As soon as Chen Bulei left, Dai Yunong came in.
"Principal." Dai Yunong said respectfully.
Chang Kaishen understood it and said to everyone: "You guys continue, I'll lose my companion first."
Immediately took Dai Yunong to the small conference room next door and asked, "Yunong, what's the matter?"
Dai Yunong whispered: "Principal, the student just received a secret message from the Military Commission Taiyuan Station."
"The secret telegram from Taiyuan." Chang Kaishen said with a stern expression, "Is the Japanese army in Shanxi going to take action again? This time, the Zhong was against the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi, or the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi? Or the Jinsui Army? Central Army?"
"No, not either." Dai Yunong said, "Taiyuan Station said that the Japanese army in Shanxi is ready to shrink."
"The Japanese army in Shanxi are about to shrink?" Chang Kaishen didn't understand and asked, "Yunnong, what does it mean?"
Dai Yunong whispered: "That means that the Japanese army had to give up two county towns because of insufficient troops, but they did not want the Eighth Route Army to take advantage of it, so they hope that the Party and the country could send troops to take over."
"So that's the case, this is a good thing." Chang Kaishen said happily.
Dai Yunong whispered: "What the principal means is to send troops to receive them?"
"Of course I have to accept it." Chang Kaishen suddenly said, "Wait, it's not the Japanese trap, right?"
"That won't happen." Dai Yunong said confidently, "If my people can't even tell whether the Japanese are sincere, then it's better not to stay in Taiyuan as soon as possible."
"That's good." Chang Kaishen nodded happily and said, "What two county towns are there?"
Dai Yunong said: "The Heyuan County in northwest Shanxi also has Fu'an County, among which Heyuan County is located between the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment and the Chu Yunfei Division of the Shanxi Sui Army, while Fu'an County is located between the Lianggang Division of the Central Army and the Independent Regiment."
"So that's how it is." Chang Kaishen said, "It's not appropriate for you to come forward."
Dai Yunong's face suddenly froze when he heard this. The reason why he actively promoted this matter was because there was a benefit in the middle.
No matter what, Heyuan County and Fu'an County are two counties, especially Heyuan County, which is an important town in northwest Shanxi. Since ancient times, agriculture and industry and commerce have been very developed.
So it is completely imagined how much benefit you can have after taking over the county town.
According to his wishful thinking, the glory and military achievements of "restoring" Heyuan County and Fu'an County can be distributed to Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, but the actual benefits of these two counties must be returned to the Military Control Commission.
In this way, the Military Commission Taiyuan Station can make a fortune.
The military commander Taiyuan Station made money, which was equivalent to the fact that he made money in Dai Yunong.
But now, Chang Kaishen broke his wishful thinking with just one word.
Chang Kaishen saw this and comforted him: "Yunnong, don't think too much. I don't mean that I don't trust the Military Affairs Bureau. It's just that I understand Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang's character."
"These two people have the ability."
"But I can't help but become a little arrogant."
"Apart from Huangpu students, it is difficult for others to see them."
"The prejudice is particularly deep for people from your Military Commission system."
"So if this matter is promoted by your Military Affairs Bureau, I am worried that Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang will not cooperate, and in the end they will have to take advantage of the Eighth Route Army."
Speaking of this, Chang Kaishen patted Dai Yunong on the shoulder and said, "Yunong, you have to understand it, but don't worry, I will compensate you."
What else can Dai Yunnong say?
I can only say that the students obey the order.
...
Yunqi Town, Sanduotang backyard.
Chu Yunfei and Liu Shiyin stood sideways, Liu Shiyinping raised his right hand and held a Browning pistol, while Chu Yunfei gently held Liu Shiyin's little hand.
Judging from this posture, I was teaching Liu Da reporter to shoot a pistol.
During the teaching process, the two people's bodies are inevitably in contact.
Chu Yunfei's chest and abdomen almost touched Liu Shiyin's back and buttocks.
Chu Yunfei lowered his head slightly, and the thin fluff on Liu Shiyin's neck swept on Chu Yunfei's face, and a faint fragrance penetrated into his nose, making Chu Yunfei feel particularly happy.
It was not until the "pa" gunshots sounded that Chu Yunfei was awakened from his intoxication.
When I looked closely, I saw that Liu Shiyin's two shots just now hit Hongxin.
"Not bad," Chu Yunfei praised, "It's progressing very fast, and it's such a high hit rate in just two days."
"It's because you are holding my hand." Liu Shiyin looked back and glanced charmingly, and said, "If I were to fight by myself, I would definitely not know where to go."
"That won't be." Chu Yunfei smiled and lowered his head.
The two people's noses were almost against one piece.
Then the eyes were connected and they immediately stuck together.
When Fang Ligong came in, he happened to see the erotic scene of his ears being scrupulous.
Seeing this, Fang Ligong subconsciously turned around and tried to exit the hospital.
But Chu Yunfei had already broken free from the beauty and called out, "Brother Li Gong, why are you leaving?"
Fang Ligong turned around and smiled awkwardly, saying, "It seems that the time for me to come here is not the same. I will wait half an hour before reporting on your work."
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "Military situation is urgent, how can it be delayed due to affair between children?"
While speaking, Liu Shiyin had already gotten up and left. When she passed by Fang Ligong, she smiled embarrassedly. Fang Ligong also smiled embarrassedly.
Chu Yunfei said: "What's the matter?"
Fang Ligong said: "That's right. The attendant's office and the Second World War Zone chief have just issued a combat order to us, requiring us to send troops to retake Heyuan County within two days."
"Is there something wrong? That's amazing." Chu Yunfei said, "The attendant's office and the chief officer of the Second World War Zone actually issued combat orders to our unique brigade at the same time, and asked us to retake Heyuan County?"
"This matter is indeed a bit strange." Fang Ligong nodded and said, "Because the attendant's office did not understand the actual situation, it only issued a specific combat order to our unique brigade before, which was to attack Taiyuan, but that was because of the reason, and it was to support the main force of the Central Army on Zhongtiao Mountain. Why is this time?"
After a pause, Fang Ligong said again: "The chief of the Second World War Zone often issued orders, but most of them just ordered us to attack here and there, but this time it was abnormal and actually asked our only brigade to directly restore a large county town guarded by the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"This is simply a matter of asking a widow to have a son, which is a big deal."
"Brother of meritorious service, be careful of your words." Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "The reason why the Chief Office issued such a combat order must be their consideration."
Fang Ligong said: "Hi Shi, do you mean obedience?"
Chu Yunfei said: "Of course, the orders of the Chief Office must be obeyed."
In fact, Chu Yunfei's subtext is that the principal's orders must of course be obeyed.
Fang Ligong was immediately anxious when he heard this. Chu Yunfei did not consider the Du Yi Brigade, but he, the chief of staff, had to consider the Du Yi Brigade, the troops of Chu Yunfei and the Du Yi Brigade.
This is the foundation of their two.
"Board, think twice!" Fang Ligong said, "Heyuan County is a strong city. Although the infantry corps of the 41st Division has been transferred, the remnants of the former Sixth Guard Infantry Regiment have returned to Heyuan. In addition, the puppet troops in the city have a total of four or five thousand troops, and our advantage is not great!"
"So what?" Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice, "If the Independent Regiment can be defeated, our Jinsui Army can do the same!"
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Tell me the order, in addition to the third regiment, the first regiment, the second regiment, the first and second regiments of the mountain cannons and the second battalion gathered immediately!"
...
Tiandagang, the Central Army's 94th Brigade Department.
Chief of Staff Guo Guanying quickly walked into the war room and reported to Liang Gang: "The Brigade has just received orders from the attendant room and the head of the Second World War Zone."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Liang Gang's eyes did not move away from the map.
Guo Guanying said in a deep voice: "The attendant's office and the chief officer ordered us to take back Fu'an County!"
"What?" Several combat staff members who were following Liang Gangtu were stunned.
Recapture the Fu'an County Town? Or is it an order issued by the attendant's office and the chief's department at the same time. What kind of fucking divine order is this? Isn't this intention to let them die in the 94th Brigade of the Central Army?
Liang Gang suddenly looked up and looked at Guo Guanying in disbelief.
Guo Guanying was also a veteran who followed him from the Central Military Academy Teaching Corps. Liang Gang was sure that Guo Guanying would not joke, but this order really surprised him.
Guo Guanying didn't say much, but just handed over two telegrams.
After reading the telegram, Liang Gang fell into a long silence.
At this time, a staff officer said angrily: "The brigade will not accept the orders of the lord outside. I forgive us for not being able to obey this order!"
"Yes, I can't obey!"
"Isn't this intention to kill us?"
"The principal must have believed the slander of the villains around him."
"Many things about the party and the country are ruined by these treacherous villains."
"The Battle of Songhu, Nanjing Defense, Xuzhou, Wuhan, and later Lanfeng, if it weren't for the villain's work, there wouldn't be the current crisis!"
Several combat staff members remembered the past and were in a state of anger.
"Shut up!" Liang Gang's eyes sternly and said in a deep voice, "Soldiers should take obeying orders as their duty. Since this is the order of the attendant's office and the chief's office, we must obey unconditionally!"
"Even if you pay for the entire Ninety-Fourth Brigade, you will be willing to pay."
After a pause, Liang Gang said in a deep voice: "Because overall victory requires local sacrifice. As soldiers, we do not have the qualifications to be picky. From the day we put on this military uniform, we must be prepared to sacrifice for the country at any time, and we cannot refuse to admit it when this day really comes. That is shameless!"
Guo Guanying and several combat staff members were speechless.
Liang Gang said again: "Tell me my order, and the whole brigade will gather in an emergency!"
...
That night, the main force of the Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade left the Yonggu Fortifications that had been held for several years and marched along the highway towards Heyuan County.
During the march, Chu Yunfei's sword eyebrows were always furious.
Although he was calm and confident in front of his subordinates, Chu Yunfei was also very panicked deep in his heart. He was really unsure.
It has been less than a year since the Taiyuan battle.
Although Heyuan County is not as strong as Taiyuan City, the Japanese army has much more troops than Taiyuan!
Fortunately, there is no good news at all. One is that the unique brigade of the Jinsui Army is no longer the same as before, especially the artillery firepower has been greatly strengthened, and now there are two mountain artillery battalions.
Another good news is that the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi just suffered a big defeat and their morale was definitely depressed, so their combat effectiveness was inevitably affected.
In view of this, the unique brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army was not completely unavailable for the acquisition of Heyuan.
However, the price that needs to be paid is probably beyond imagination. Chu Yunfei is worried about this. The unique brigade of the Jinsui Army really does not have the ability to fight against the Japanese.
But what can I do? This is an order issued by the principal!
It is actually not far from Yunqi Town to Heyuan County, only about thirty kilometers.
By the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army's Unique Brigade was smoothly advanced to the outskirts of Heyuan County.
The entire march was so smooth that it exceeded Chu Yunfei's imagination. He was not blocked on the way. Several strongholds and artillery towers that were originally stationed by the Japanese army were empty.
But Chu Yunfei still did not dare to be careless at all, but was more cautious.
Because this may very likely mean that the Japanese army had already noticed their intentions in advance, so they reduced the forces of various outer strongholds and artillery towers to Heyuan County in advance to strengthen defense.
By around 1 a.m., the first regiment of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army's Unit Brigade and the Second Regiment had been fully launched.
Chapter completed!
