Li Yunlong's expression changed and he said: "With Brother Chu's 358th Regiment joining us, haha...then we will be more confident!"

Ding Wei also said: "Captain Chu Gao Yi, Ding admires him."

At the moment, Chu Yunfei doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve, he only wants to resist Japan, serve the country on the battlefield, and wants the nation to be independent and free.

However, in the later stages of the Anti-Japanese War, seeing that little Japan was about to be doomed, the Independent Regiment was stationed in northwest Shanxi, adjacent to the 358th Regiment.

There was no room for others to snore on the side of the bed, not to mention seeing the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army, a sense of crisis for the party and state spread in Chu Yunfei's heart.

That's why the 358th Regiment had a lot of friction with the Independent Regiment, and Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong were at odds with each other.

This is a contradiction between the capitalist class and the proletariat, which cannot be reconciled at all. Either you die or I die.

Chu Yunfei smiled slightly and asked, "How are you planning to fight this battle?"

Li Yunlong said: "This battle is mainly about cavalry versus cavalry. Commander Chu can just keep an eye on it. Tomorrow will be a fierce battle. Today you can just recharge your batteries."

"Cavalry versus cavalry?" Chu Yunfei said, "We also have cavalry in the 358th Regiment. How about letting my cavalry company join us?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "That's fine!"

Since Chu Yunfei said so, Li Yunlong couldn't refuse.

If he refuses, it may dampen Chu Yunfei's enthusiasm.

The cavalry company of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army joined in, giving them greater confidence in dealing with the Japanese cavalry regiment.

Chu Yunfei's move probably also wanted to show his determination for this joint operation and make the Eighth Route officers let down their guard.

Chu Yunfei turned around and shouted: "Yang Zhiquan!"

"have!"

Yang Zhiquan, commander of the 358th Regiment Cavalry Company, immediately replied.

Yang Zhiguo has a straight face, a medium build, and sharp eyes. He is a brother of Yang Zhiguo, the commander of the 358th Regiment Artillery Battalion.

The two brothers only followed Chu Yunfei's lead.

Chu Yunfei ordered: "From now on, you and your cavalry company will be under the command of the commander of the Horse Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

Yang Zhiquan immediately replied: "Yes, Tuanzuo!"

Then, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment Cavalry Company dismounted and checked their weapons and ammunition on the spot to prepare for battle.

Chu Yunfei asked again: "How are you planning to fight this battle?"

Li Yunlong said: "It's very simple. We are going to catch fish from the Japanese cavalry regiment. Commander Chu, please look at the map..."

…

After Li Yunlong briefly introduced the plan, he left the cavalry company outside the city gate. Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Sun Ming returned to where the soldiers of the 358th Regiment were.

This time Chu Yunfei brought all the main forces of the 358th Regiment and prepared for a big fight.

In the temporary regiment headquarters, Fang Ligong adjusted his glasses and said worriedly: "Regiment leader, if we really fight jointly with the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid...it's hard to explain to Commander Yan."

Chu Yunfei put on his armed belt, and put on the Browning gun and the Zhongzheng sword presented by the Chairman of the Generalissimo, one on the left and one on the right.

He said nonchalantly: "It all depends on how well your report is written, brother Ligong."

"Forget it!" Fang Ligong sighed, "Anyway, it's all for fighting the Japanese. If the war zone commander really pursues the case afterwards, I am willing to share the responsibility with the regiment."

Chu Yunfei ordered: "Brother Ligong, please send a report to the war zone commander's department, saying that Yangquan was captured by the Eighth Route Army an hour ago."

Fang Ligong said: "I will ask the Communications Department to send a telegram to the Chief Department."

…

Kenanpo, Yan Bochuan's Second Theater Command Headquarters.

It is located 10 kilometers upstream of Hukou Falls on the Yellow River and 30 kilometers away from Jixian County.

This is a gourd-shaped independent mountain ridge facing a ditch river on three sides and a plateau on one side. It is a dangerous place where one man can block it and ten thousand people can't get through it.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Kenanpo was also known as "Little Taiyuan".

After a busy day, Yan Bochuan was preparing to have lunch and dinner together. The meal was very simple, including a few steamed buns, two dishes and one soup.

I had just picked up the steamed bun and had two bites of it, but before I even moved my chopsticks, a voice full of excitement but also surprise came from outside the door.

"Commander, great victory, great victory!"

Yan Bochuan's chopsticks suddenly stopped, and when he looked up, it was Yang Aiyuan, deputy commander of the Second War Zone, who walked in with a happy face and a telegram.

Yang Aiyuan and Yan Bochuan were from the same hometown, so they were highly regarded as direct generals and one of the Thirteen Taibao.

He was a loyal and honest person, and he always followed Yan Bochuan in his campaigns in the east and west, and even refused to be bribed by Chiang Kai-shek.

Yan Bochuan then said: "Aiyuan, how come you are so victorious? Don't make fun of me, Liao. You haven't eaten yet. Come and have something together."

"Commander, it's really a great victory." Yang Aiyuan said with joy on his face, "And it's also a great victory in Yangquan."

Yang Aiyuan added: "Commander, this is the telegram sent by the 358th Regiment ten minutes ago. The Eighth Route Army's 386th Brigade Independent Regiment, the 772nd Regiment and the New First Regiment, as well as the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong Cavalry Regiment, captured the Japanese military more than an hour ago.

In the important town of Yangquan, the first section of the Japanese Watanabe Regiment and the 5th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Japanese Army were completely annihilated."

"Oh?" Yan Bochuan was suddenly startled and put down his steamed buns and chopsticks, "Can you show me the telegram?"

Yan Bochuan picked up the telegram and read it immediately. His pupils shrank slightly and he quickly asked: "Is this news true? Have you verified it with the Eighth Route Army headquarters?"

"Commander, we have just verified it with the Eighth Route Army Headquarters." Yang Aiyuan said happily, "The news is true!"

"Okay, okay!" A smile burst out on Yan Bochuan's face, "It's very satisfying, very satisfying!"

"Huh?" Yan Bochuan said in surprise, "How come this 386th Brigade Independent Regiment is so familiar?"

"Commander, have you forgotten?" Yang Aiyuan said: "This is the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment. Not long ago, it completely wiped out the Japanese Black Island Cavalry Regiment and captured Yushe County twice. You also rewarded it with 3,000 yuan."

"Oh oh oh, I remember Liao." Yan Bochuan suddenly said, "The leader of the independent group is called Li Yunlong, right?"

"That's right, Commander, his name is Li Yunlong." Yang Aiyuan said, "In the past year, this man has led his troops to win consecutive battles and won many great victories."

Yan Bochuan sighed: "It's a pity that such a powerful general can't be used by me. It's such a pity Liao."

"By the way, this telegram is from the 358th Regiment..." Yan Bochuan frowned slightly, "Did Chu Yunfei also get involved?"

"Commander, there shouldn't be." Yang Aiyuan said, "This telegram does not mention that the 358th Regiment participated in the siege. It should be that only the Eighth Route Army attacked Yangquan."

Yan Bochuan's expression softened and he nodded slightly.

Yang Aiyuan's expression changed slightly, and then he said worriedly: "Commander, I remember when we first crossed the Yellow River eastward, the Eighth Route Army only had three divisions with tens of thousands of people. In just a few years, it has grown to more than a hundred regiments. Last year, it was just a fight.

Strongholds, this year they are not only attacking the county town, but also the important military town of Yangquan. The Eighth Route Army's strength has grown too fast. Commander, I'm worried..."

Yan Bochuan said with a smile: "Aiyuan, I know what you are worried about. The stronger the Eighth Route Army is now, the safer our Jinsui Army will be."

After Taiyuan fell and the main force of the Jinsui Army retreated to the Luliang Mountains, the Japanese army also concentrated its forces to attack several times, but they were all repulsed.

Later, the Japanese army also discovered Yan Laoxi's negative attitude against Japan, and the Japanese First Army Headquarters turned to its attitude towards the Jinsui Army to appease and win over.

However, Yan Laoxi also did not want to be accused of being a traitor and be stabbed in the spine by the people of Shanxi, leaving him in infamy for thousands of years.

So they dealt with Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese army, taking advantage of each other and colluding with each other for their own benefit.

Yang Aiyuan immediately understood the reason, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Yan Bochuan added: "On the one hand, I sent a commendation telegram to the Eighth Route Army, and on the other hand, I sent a good news to Chongqing, asking the Chairman to allocate food, weapons and ammunition to the Second War Zone. There was such a big victory in the front, and he

Chairman, you should express your opinion."

"Commander is brilliant!" Yang Aiyuan said with admiration: "Victory against the Eighth Route Army, the honor and rewards belong to our Jinsui Army, my subordinates will do it now!"

After Yang Aiyuan exited, Yan Bochuan picked up chopsticks and steamed buns, and while eating, he shook his head and sang: "I was watching the mountain scenery from the tower, and I heard the chaos outside the city..."

…

Shuangqing City, National Government, Huangshan Official Residence.

In the war room, a group of senior officials were sitting in attendance.

As the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was in full swing, Shun Tada, who was promoted to the commander of the North China Front, was ordered by the Japanese base camp to serve as the first commander of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. He assembled 6 divisions and a total of 63 brigades to carry out aircraft and artillery operations.

Under cover, they launched a fierce attack on Zhongtiao Mountain.

However, in just a few days, bad news on the front line of Zhongtiao Mountain came one after another.

Even the main forces of the National Army's 14th Army and the 5th Army in Nakatiao Mountain were surrounded by Japanese troops.

As a result, Principal Chang had to personally come forward to boost the morale of the anti-Japanese soldiers on the front line, but it was of no use. The situation in Zhongtiao Mountain had reached an extremely anxious moment, with more than 100,000 national army soldiers at stake.

At this time, the Jinling Wang Puppet Government once again advocated curves to save the country.

Principal Chang sent several telegrams in succession to urge the commander of the Second War Zone, Yan Bochuan, to send troops to assist Zhongtiao Mountain. However, Yan Bochuan superficially agreed, but did not send a single soldier. Only the Eighth Route Army sent a few regiments of troops to assist the Eastern Front.

A section of the national army surrounded on the battlefield.

However, at this time, just when the senior generals of the national army were feeling overwhelmed, and even Principal Chang was preparing to think that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain might be the greatest shame of the Anti-Japanese War, an exciting news came from Zhongtiao Mountain.

On the Eastern Front battlefield, when the 14th Army of the Chinese Army was under fierce attack by the 41st Division of the Japanese Army, an unidentified bomber group suddenly attacked the 41st Division of the Japanese Army, causing heavy losses to the 41st Division of the Japanese Army. The 14th Army of the Chinese Army continued to

The flight turned into a counterattack and achieved considerable results.

In particular, the two divisions of the 14th Group Army of the Chinese Army, under the remote command of master micromanipulators, Principal Chang, and the air support of unidentified bombers, defeated the 137th Regiment of the Japanese 41st Division. Even Wei Dayong did not know.

This time he actually engaged in a joint battle with Principal Chang from afar.

What is even more exciting is the telegram sent by a senior spy of the Chinese army who was hiding in the top brass of the Japanese army.

Under the two bombings of the Japanese 41st Division, including Lieutenant General Goro Mano, commander of the 41st Division, and Colonel Nobuhiro Nobuhiro, commander of the 137th Regiment of the 41st Division, a total of no less than 5,000 Japanese soldiers were killed.

of casualties.
