Chapter 421 Chu Yunfei refuses to admit defeat!
"Is there something big happening again with gods and demons?"
Yan Bochuan frowned, looking a little unhappy.
Seeing that Chu Yunfei was also there, Yang Aiyuan was stunned.
Chu Yunfei then wisely said: "Commander, deputy commander, I have resigned from my humble position."
Contrary to Chu Yunfei's expectation, Yang Aiyuan said: "Yunfei, you don't have to leave, it's not a secret."
At this time, even Chu Yunfei's face showed a curious look.
"Commander, inside information." Yang Aiyuan's face showed joy, "The special plane on which Jun Tada was riding was shot down over Taiyuan, and Jun Tada was killed."
"What do you mean?" Yan Bochuan's face was full of disbelief, his eyes widened, "Tada Shun... is dead?"
Although Shun Tada was only a lieutenant general, he served as the commander of the North China Front and was able to mobilize and command 300,000 Japanese troops at his peak.
Although he was slapped last year, in this battle of Nakajoyama, Tada Shun also commanded 100,000 Japanese troops.
In the entire battle sequence of the Japanese invasion of China, Shun Tada was definitely the number two figure, his status second only to the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces.
However, the lieutenant general commander, who played an important role in the Japanese army, actually died?
Yan Bochuan was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
Chu Yunfei was shocked when he heard the news, his face full of disbelief and disbelief.
"Has the news been confirmed?" Yan Bochuan asked in a deep voice, "Is this true?"
"Commander, it's confirmed." Yang Aiyuan said, "It is said that after the plane shot down Tada Jun's special plane, it also dropped an aerial bomb at the crash site. When the Japanese army arrived, not even Tada Jun's intact body was found, along with
The ashes of Yoshio Shinozuka were also taken away on the special plane, and now the Japanese North China Front headquarters is in chaos."
"Okay, okay!" Yan Bochuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and shouted "ok" three times in a row.
Yang Aiyuan asked in surprise: "Why is the commander applauding?"
"Another Japanese lieutenant general died on the Chinese battlefield, in our second theater." Yan Bochuan asked with a smile, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Pass my order to have a big banquet tonight. I want to celebrate it well."
"I just don't know who shot down Tada Shun's plane?"
However, Chu Yunfei's expression changed and he said: "Commander, I am humble enough to guess who did it."
"Oh?" Yan Bochuan looked at Chu Yunfei in surprise, "You know?"
"Yes." Chu Yunfei nodded, "This should be done by the Eighth Route Army."
"Eighth Route Army?" Yan Bochuan shook his head and said flatly, "This is impossible. Their equipment is rudimentary and they don't even have an anti-aircraft gun. How can they have a plane?"
Chu Yunfei secretly thought that the commander was really ill-informed. The Eighth Route Army not only had anti-aircraft guns, but also howitzers, cannons, and even fighter jets.
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army not only has aircraft," Chu Yunfei said, "it is also equipped with anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns."
"How is it possible?" Yan Bochuan didn't believe it at all, "Where did they get the plane and the pilot?"
As early as 195, Yan Bochuan started to establish an air force and even established an aircraft factory under the Taiyuan Arsenal.
However, Yan Bochuan was unwilling to spend high prices to buy high-performance fighter jets and bombers from Europe and the United States, and only bought some defective products for assembly.
In the Central Plains War, when faced with the advanced fighter planes imported from Europe and the United States by Principal Chang, they were unable to even fight back, and they were useless even against the poorly equipped Red Army.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the air force of the Jinsui Army was helpless against the advanced Japanese fighter jets, and was completely destroyed soon after.
The Yangmingbao Airport that was blown up by the Eighth Route Army was the original airport built under Yan Bochuan's order. The airport's fuel was not even transferred in time, and it all fell into the hands of the Japanese army.
The Japanese aviation force took off and landed at Yangmingpu Airport and provided air support to the Japanese infantry in the Battle of Xinkou, causing heavy casualties to the Chinese army.
"This is what I saw with my own eyes." Chu Yunfei said, "During the attack on Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army dispatched aircraft for air support and dropped leaflets on the Japanese and puppet troops."
"More than that, as far as I know, the reason why the Eighth Route Army successively captured Niangziguan and Yangquan in a short period of time was entirely dependent on air support."
"In addition to aircraft, the Eighth Route Army also has two 75-caliber anti-aircraft guns, two 105-caliber cannons and one 150-caliber howitzer."
"What do you mean?" Yan Bochuan and Yang Aiyuan looked at each other. When did the Eighth Route Army become so wealthy?
Judging from the way Chu Yunfei spoke with certainty, it didn't look like he was lying.
Yan Bochuan felt unhappy when he heard the news.
Although I hope the Eighth Route Army will be stronger now, I don't want the Eighth Route Army to be too strong.
Being stronger can attract the attention of the Japanese army, allowing the Japanese army to deal with the Eighth Route Army with all its strength, while the Jinsui Army can rest and develop in the rear.
Yan Bochuan's thinking is the same as "afraid of his brother's hardship, but also afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover."
"Where did the Eighth Route Army planes come from? Where did the pilots come from?" Yan Bochuan muttered to himself with his eyes wide open, in disbelief.
"Where did the pilot come from? I don't know what his job is." Chu Yunfei said, "However, I can probably guess where the Eighth Route Aircraft came from."
Yang Aiyuan quickly asked: "Yunfei, where did the Eighth Route plane come from?"
Yan Bochuan also quickly looked at Chu Yunfei, if the Eighth Route Army can get planes, can the Jinsui Army do it?
Although the Jinsui Army does not have aircraft, it still has a number of pilots.
Chu Yunfei said: "Li Yunlong, the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, has a chief of staff and battalion commander. This man's name is Wei Dayong. Not long ago, he led a unit to surprise attack on the Japanese Yuncheng Airport. The Eighth Route Army's aircraft should have come from
The Japanese military obtained it at Yuncheng Airport.”
"So, the commander of the Japanese 41st Division, Goro Mano, was also killed by the Eighth Route Army?" Yan Bochuan's mind raced very quickly, and he immediately thought of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.
The Japanese 41st Division was bombed by planes and suffered heavy losses. Even the division commander, Lieutenant General Mano Goro, was killed.
Both the National Government Military Commander and the Central Commander-in-Chief are investigating who did it, but so far they have no clue, not even the slightest clue.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right." Chu Yunfei nodded and replied, "It was indeed the Eighth Route Army that did it."
After receiving Chu Yunfei's affirmative reply, Yan Bochuan and Yang Aiyuan both looked surprised.
Now all the doubts were cleared up instantly like clouds and fog.
Yang Aiyuan hurriedly asked: "Where did the Eighth Route Army's large-caliber heavy artillery come from?"
Chu Yunfei said: "It was also Wei Dayong who, after successfully attacking the Japanese Yuncheng Airport, captured the Japanese Kamikaze armored train during the retreat. It was with the large-caliber artillery firepower on the armored train that the Eighth Route Army blasted through the Taiyuan city wall.
, otherwise with the dozens of small-caliber artillery on the Eighth Route, even if all the infantry is exhausted, Taiyuan will not be captured."
"It's amazing." Even Yan Bochuan couldn't help but praise, "This Wei Dayong has actually accomplished such a feat. Could it be that he has three heads and six arms?"
Yang Aiyuan also asked curiously: "Where did this Wei Dayong come from? Why have I never heard of him before?"
"According to what I know, Wei Dayong was born in Shaolin in Songshan Mountain. He has strong martial arts skills, extraordinary courage, and excellent marksmanship."
Chu Yunfei said: "I used to work in the Central Army. Later, for some unknown reason, I took a company of soldiers to join the Eighth Route Army. His battalion was called something different from other troops. What was it called a special operations battalion? This person
He also has a small force called the Wolf Fang Special Forces."
"Special forces?" Yan Bochuan looked suspicious. This was not the first time he had heard this term.
During that period, unconventional troops such as engineers, communications troops, and logistics troops were called special forces.
That is to say, they are different from conventional troops, but the combat effectiveness of unconventional troops is low and they do not even go to the battlefield.
Why are the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army called special forces?
Chu Yunfei explained: "The special forces of the Eighth Route Army specialize in carrying out special operations. They are all the best of the best. They are extremely powerful in terms of combat literacy and tactical coordination. The Yamamoto special agent team of the Japanese army was defeated by Wei Dayong.
The one who got rid of it, I guess, was Wei Dayong who was behind the plan when the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army ate up the Black Island Cavalry Regiment."
When Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming went to the Independent Group to observe and learn, they were not idle. They basically saw everything about the Independent Group.
However, Chu Yunfei didn't pay much attention at that time, and even sneered at it.
But I didn't expect that only a year later, Wei Dayong and his special forces had achieved such great results.
"Special Operations?"
"What do you call special operations?"
This was the first time Yan Bochuan heard the term special operations.
After Chu Yunfei thought for a while, he said: "Unconventional combat methods similar to this time when a small group of the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese airport unexpectedly are called special operations."
Chu Yunfei also heard this word from Wei Dayong. If he really asked him to say it, he really couldn't tell one, two, or three.
Although special operations were not taken seriously by various countries during World War I.
But by World War II, the special forces of the major European and American countries had already demonstrated their skills in the European and North African battlefields.
However, special operations is still an unfamiliar military discipline to the Chinese army. Even though Chu Yunfei graduated from China's top Whampoa Military Academy, he didn't know much about it.
"Wei Dayong is so brave, but he can't be used by me." Yan Bochuan shook his head and said, "What a pity for Liao, what a pity for Liao."
"Commander, there is no need to regret." Chu Yunfei said confidently, "We can also follow the example of the Eighth Route Army and form a special force belonging to the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"Oh?" Yan Bochuan and Yang Aiyuan's eyes lit up, and they immediately became interested.
Yan Bochuan asked: "Yunfei, can you also form a special force?"
"Can."
Chu Yunfei said: "But Beizhi hopes to get the full support of the commander and deputy commander, so that Beizhi can select the most elite soldiers from the entire Shanxi-Sui Army to create a special force!"
Chu Yunfei knew very well that the 358th Regiment alone could not create a special force like Langya. At most, it could pull up a commando team.
The Eighth Route Army was able to capture Yangquan and Taiyuan this time, and most of the credit was due to Wei Dayong and his special operations battalion.
Li Yunlong's ability to stabilize his own position almost entirely depends on Wei Dayong and his special forces.
Chu Yunfei was a proud soldier who refused to admit defeat. He couldn't accept that a top student of Whampoa Military Academy could not compare to Li Yunlong, who was born with a mud-legged background.
