Chapter 294 Zhongtiao Mountain Attack Corps (please subscribe)

Chen Ziyun still has more than a thousand troops on hand, and he hopes to unite the 10th Division for combat.

The overall combat effectiveness of the 10th Division is not too bad. With the cooperation of a small force like Chen Ziyun, it will definitely be able to play a greater role.

For this reason, Chen Ziyun specifically reported this matter to the commander of the First War Zone and Wei Junru, who was commanding from afar in the capital.

The commander of the 10th Division, Chen Munong, was from Huangpu Phase I. After all, if he didn't want to, it didn't matter if Chen Ziyun took him.

It is relatively safe to have a call back from the Chief Executive Department and Wei Junru.

Chen Munong listened to Chen Ziyun's combat explanation in detail, but he was obviously not very willing to cooperate with Chen Ziyun in combat.

It is true that Chen Ziyun is famous, but Chen Munong is worried that if he does not go back, he will inevitably be held accountable.

Secondly, Chen Ziyun's operational ideas were too risky for him. If the troops suffered heavy casualties, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Commander Chen, the main force of our group army is under great pressure. If we leave, I'm afraid there will be problems."

"What's more, the Ninth Army has been encircled and annihilated now. Once the Ninth Army collapses, we will definitely bear the brunt."

All departments immediately mobilized and quickly assembled towards the designated area.

"Brothers, Chen Ziyun, the infantry and artillery commander of the Glory First Division, will personally lead his troops to support our breakout soon."

After Wei Junru's message was sent, Brigadier Chen of the Eighth Route Army directly conveyed the order from the general headquarters to the independent detachment.

This force, strictly speaking, is an elite force jointly created by the first and second theaters.

They cannot fully represent the Jinsui Army, so Yan Laoxi must send the Jinsui Army to assist in the battle.

At around seven o'clock, Ikegami Kenkichi commanded more than a thousand troops to actively attack the east side.

Fortunately, Chen Ziyun has a resume from the Army Artillery College and is considered a disciple of the Emperor.

However, eight mountain guns and twelve field guns continued to carry out precise bombardment of the city.

At nine o'clock, they retreated to Jiangcheng in embarrassment and continued their defense.

More than 30,000 troops attacked from both sides, and the Japanese troops were caught off guard.

After all, so far, the 41st Division has made almost no progress except for breaking through the Henglingguan position.

After Wei Junru coordinated in many aspects, he organized the Zhongtiao Mountain Attack Corps in the Jiangcheng area.

There is no way, Chen Munong is from Huangpu Phase I, even if Chu Yunfei comes over, he is still his younger brother in front of him.

"Bagaya Road, all ministries must continue to launch attacks and do not give them any chance to adjust."

At this time, the 41st Infantry Division was independently formed into the 9th Brigade, with a combat strength of only about 16,000 people.

After seeing these two messages, Chen Munong frowned slightly and agreed somewhat reluctantly.

Otherwise, Chen Munong, as the division commander, would be lifeless and completely unwilling, and it would be difficult for the 10th Division to display its combat effectiveness.

The worst person in the Huangpu Phase I is now the corps commander, and he has even served as the commander-in-chief of the group army.

In an instant, Yan Laoxi felt confident.

But let's say he doesn't have any ability. As a division commander of a unit like the 10th Division, he obviously won't be a loser.

In addition, Chen Ziyun is counting on the 10th Division now, so he definitely cannot fall out with him directly.

Qingshui commanded the troops to evacuate all the way. After five o'clock, they retreated directly to the Jiangcheng area and then stabilized their position.

Starting at around 11 o'clock in the evening, Chen Ziyun's troops and Chen Munong's 10th Division began to advance towards Shunwangping.

The 41st Division here in Jiangcheng is an independent ninth brigade unit. Currently, there are only 16,000 people.

When he saw that his troops were making little progress, he immediately picked up the microphone and directly contacted the officers commanding the operations on the front line.

Especially when faced with the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the reconnaissance company and guard company, the Japs would suffer considerable losses.

Chen Ziyun commanded the first battalion, reconnaissance company, guard company and other troops to launch an attack from the rear.

Otherwise, Chen Munong may not be able to think highly of him, even if he has won many battles.

"We must completely defeat their outer positions before dawn, and then advance operations towards the core from multiple directions."

The four heavy machine guns fired continuously to attack the little Japanese infantry.

As a member of the first phase of Huangpu, Chen Munong must be said to be capable, but up to now he is just a division commander.

Especially Jin Suijun, because of Wei Junru's relationship, he was also very unhappy.

So I still sent a message asking the 43rd Army and the 1st Glory Division to represent the Shanxi-Sui Army and fight a victory here in Zhongtiao Mountain, and let the capital have a look.

Qing Shui couldn't help but take a breath of air. The total casualties of their troops here were almost several times the casualties of other troops!

However, the situation was unclear now, and he did not dare to act rashly. He could only stand still and wait until daybreak before taking action.

In the field artillery camp, six Liao-made field guns and six Japanese-style field guns also launched bombardments.

The 14th Army, 93rd Army, and 9th Army currently in Zhongtiao Mountain are all direct troops.

Chen Ziyun is inevitably a little embarrassed, after all, he is also a member of the Jinsui Army.

However, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to pursue them all the way and continuously carried out interspersed strikes.

This means that their 20,000 troops have already suffered 4,000 casualties.

These little devils tried to stabilize their position at Hengling Pass and then launch an attack.

The total strength of the Attack Corps exceeds 40,000. Gao Peiwu, commander of the 17th Army, serves as commander of the corps, and Zhao Chuanbi, commander of the 43rd Army, serves as deputy commander of the corps.

Chu Yunfei, a member of the fifth phase of Huangpu, has already sat on the throne of the commander of the elite division directly under the second theater.

Qingshui Ruijie had clearly felt the irritation of the military headquarters, and he also knew that he had to quickly produce results.

"However, I suggest that we go south to support the Ninth Army in its operations. After all, the Ninth Army is a direct force."

The cannon platoon of the guard company, the cannon platoon of the reconnaissance platoon, four Japanese 81MM mortars, two Type 92 heavy machine guns, and four MG13 machine guns started firing.

Qing Shui's face was gloomy. He raised his telescope and observed the battlefield situation from time to time.

Chen Munong commanded the 10th Division and detoured to the east to launch an attack.

At this time, fierce fighting was still going on here at Shun Wang Ping, with the 41st Division Lieutenant General Qing Shui Ruijun, the commander of the division, personally taking command.

More than 1,000 artillery units provide support, more than 1,000 troops are attached to armored units as mobile units, and 3,000 troops are on hand as reserve units.

As for Shun Wangping's 17th Army, which belonged to the Northwest Army, and the 43rd Army, which belonged to the Shanxi-Sui Army, he was unwilling to rescue them.

Chen Ziyun was a little speechless and could only explain patiently.

If he could not break through Shun Wangping's position, it would be inevitable that the military headquarters would accuse him of ineffective combat.

"Attack quickly and launch a wave-like tactical impact."

The commander of the 41st Division, Qing Shui, and the commander of the independent ninth brigade, Kenji Ikegami, were instantly dumbfounded.

"Although there are little Japanese troops here, their strength is at a disadvantage. We may win a moderate victory."

More than four hundred Japs suffered casualties, and even Kenkichi Ikegami, who was commanding the battle, was wounded.

"Up to now, other troops have launched encirclement and annihilation operations, but we are the only one here who has never achieved any results."

The independent detachment and the 10,000-strong troops of the 10th Division were deployed in Zijin Mountain, and they launched an attack from the north.

At the same time, they quickly counted the strength of the troops and learned in detail about their losses.

All three divisions of the 43rd Army were mobilized, even the wounded were mobilized.

They tried to take advantage of the armored forces to quickly defeat the mobile group in the east, and then defeat the 43rd Army from the flank.

Chen Ziyun has won many battles and achieved amazing results.

"So for now, it is safer for us to quickly return to our formation, hold our position, and block the Japanese attack from the northeast."

Yan Laoxi also sent a message requesting the 43rd Army to actively carry out operations in the Jiangcheng area.

Gao Peiwu immediately established the Corps headquarters here at Hengling Pass and quickly established contact with various ministries.

Chen Ziyun looked at Chen Munong in front of him and continued to persuade him that he needed to mobilize Chen Munong's enthusiasm.

At this time, the 43rd Army and other troops quickly restored their first-line positions at Hengling Pass and Shunwangping.

"The situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is obvious now. All the ministries are losing battles. If Master Chen has any military exploits, he will definitely stand out from the crowd."

His troops are also stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain, and he also understands what is happening in Jin Province.

The capital side even stated that if the Jinsui Army had an agreement with the Japs, they would join forces with the Eighth Route Army to completely annihilate them!

Seeing the quarrel between the two sides, news came that the 43rd Army was holding its position at Shunwangping.

Chen Munong politely rejected Chen Ziyun's idea, but before he finished speaking, Chen Ziyun took out two messages.

The Zhongtiao Mountain Attack Corps consists of the 17th Army (84th Division), the 43rd Army (temporarily designated 45th, 46th Division, and 70th Division), and the 10th Division of the 93rd Army.

The front troops were repulsed, and the rear troops quickly followed up.

The 43rd Army, which is also the Jinsui Army, can still hold on to Shunwangping. Who says that the Jinsui Army does not fight the Japanese?

Yan Laoxi originally planned to let the 43rd Army break out, but he did not expect that the 43rd Army actually blocked the Japs attack.
