Chapter 101: Yan Laoxi is worried

Looking at the corpses of the cavalry all over the ground, the devil commander was so angry that his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.

wanted revenge, but was worried about following in the footsteps of the cavalry brigade, so before dawn, he didn't dare to cross Xiangyuan and launch a pursuit to the east.

just stayed in Xiangyuan to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of their companions.

Therefore, Li Yunlong and the others were able to go smoothly and returned to the temporary base area with a full load.

In other aspects, Yang Chen and Liao Yong also led their own troops and took advantage of the night to return to the base of the Tiger Ben Regiment in Lingchuan.

On the other hand, 358, with the assistance of the Tiger Ben Regiment Special Service Battalion and the Hoe Brigade, took Changzhi Airport and wreaked havoc on it, resulting in the Japanese army not immediately putting it into use even if it was re-occupied.

They also evacuated.

……

Second Theater Command.

The headquarters will be star-studded.

After hearing that the intelligence department had passed back the good news one after another, Yan Laoxi, as the commander-in-chief, finally showed a long-lost smile.

But soon, Yan Laoxi seemed to think of something, his face sank again, and after looking around, he said, "At a critical time, Yang Chen and his tiger group are reliable!"

If you all have Yang Chen's command ability, why can't you drive these Japanese out of Shanxi, or even out of China? ”

When all the officers heard this, they all drooped their heads in shame.

There is no way, this Yang Chen, they really can't compare, this girl is simply not a person, how can she compare with him?

After a while, Wei Junru spoke: "General seat, it is undeniable that Commander Yang Chen Yang is indeed brilliant, and his ability to lead the army in battle is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

However, it seems that the credit for yesterday cannot be fully attributed to Yang Chen and his Tiger Bentuan.

Not to mention our main force, the main force of the Japanese army was pinned down in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain.

If the 358th Regiment of the 65th Division had not attacked Changzhi Airport, Yang Chen and his Huben Regiment would not have had the opportunity to ambush the 4th Wing of the Japanese Independent Cavalry and the Tengchuan Wing.

Not to mention taking the opportunity to raid Binh Thuan County.

Moreover, in last night's battle, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army also seemed to have contributed a lot.

We can't discredit them for some reason.

If it weren't for their independent regiment intercepting and annihilating the Japanese reinforcements from Xiangyuan at Sanxikou, it is still unknown whether the 358th Regiment could capture Changzhi Airport. ”

Another lieutenant general said: "As far as I know, this independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army not only annihilated an infantry wing of the Japanese army at Sanxikou, but also took the opportunity to capture Xiangyuan, and then another cavalry reinforcement with a total strength of more than 1,000 people. ”

"Oh? This Eighth Route Army is so powerful? ”

"Uh-huh-"

Yan Laoxi's right finger bone tapped the table: "Don't go off-topic!" ”

After everyone calmed down, Yan Laoxi spoke: "You only know that this Eighth Route Army annihilated an infantry wing and a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army, and captured Xiangyuan County by the way.

But do you know that there is also the participation of the Tiger Ben Regiment? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

This Yang Chen is a little too terrifying, it seems that even the reason why Changzhi Airport was successfully captured in the end was because of the arrival of reinforcements from the Tiger Regiment.

Yan Laoxi was able to become the king of Shanxi, and he also had his own way of controlling people, and after a pause, he said: "Of course, as Junru said, the reason why our army was able to win consecutive victories last night was not all due to Yang Chen and the Tiger Bentuan.

It was also one of the indispensable conditions for the units to contain the main forces of the Japanese army on the front line.

Even, if you count the first merit, you should also count the 358 regiment.

Because last night's series of victories were all based on the fact that the 358th Regiment raided Changzhi Airport and gained a suppressive advantage.

Otherwise, there would be no reinforcements from all the Japanese troops, and there would be no matter of the Tiger Ben Regiment and the Eighth Route Army behind. ”

Fu Yisheng also said loudly: "What the general seat said is right, last night's victory was not the victory of one army of the Tiger Regiment, let alone the victory of Yang Chen alone, but the victory of all the armies of the Second Theater, and even all the Chinese armies!"

As long as our troops cooperate sincerely, use tactics properly, and soldiers who are not afraid of death on the battlefield, everyone dares to risk their lives.

Then the victory in the battle of Nakajo Mountain will definitely belong to us in the end! ”

Everyone nodded their heads, and their confidence increased a lot.

Especially the commander of the 65th Division, his self-confidence is about to burst.

The 358th Regiment is under his command of the 65th Division!!

After a pause, Fu Yisheng said again: "General seat, I suggest that we should immediately report the news of last night's successive victories, so that the front-line soldiers know that the Japanese army is not invincible."

At the same time, the generals and troops who were awarded were commended.

Especially the head of Yang Chen, Yang Tuan, and the head of Chu Yunfei Chu of the 358th Regiment. ”

"Hmm!"

Yan Laoxi nodded, how could he disagree with this proposal that could improve the morale of the generals of the three armies?

However, then Yan Laoxi began to worry about how to commend Yang Chen's military exploits.

It's really Yang Chen's combat exploits are too high, so high that he doesn't know how to reward them.

Even giving him the position of commander-in-chief of the second theater of operations is not enough.

The most troublesome thing for Yan Laoxi is that he repeatedly wanted to promote Yang Chen's military rank and rank, but Yang Chen was rejected.

Just now, Yang Chen rejected his promotion again.

Yang Chen is also very helpless, it's not that he doesn't want to be a brigade commander, but a division commander...... I don't want to be a major general or lieutenant general.

The system doesn't let him be, what can he do?

Of course, Yang Chen also seized this opportunity and knocked Yan Laoxi hard.

In addition to military rations and money, he also asked for an arsenal.

At that time, the Shanxi Arsenal was particularly awesome, known as one of the three major arsenals of the Republic of China.

And the existence of this arsenal is also one of the confidence of Yan Laoxi to be fearless of the chairman.

Yan Laoxi attaches great importance to military production, because he knows that if he buys from others, where can he compare with his own production?

In 1927, he reorganized the Shanxi Military Craft Training Factory into the Taiyuan Arsenal, which had a gun factory, a gun factory, a shell factory, an ammunition factory, and various supporting factories.

Before the Central Plains War, the Taiyuan Arsenal produced 350 light and heavy artillery pieces, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, and 900 submachine guns per month.

In its heyday, the Taiyuan Arsenal had as many as 4,300 machines, and at one time it also manufactured aircraft.

In particular, the imitation of the American Thomson M1921 submachine gun is one of the fist products of Yan Laoxi Arsenal.

According to the actual situation of the Jin Suijun, an improved version of the barrel was designed, which can be roughly divided into two models according to whether there is a foregrip or not.

This submachine gun was even popularized in every infantry squad of the Jin Sui Army, and it can be said that the weapons and equipment of the Jin Sui Army at that time were the most sophisticated existence except for those German divisions.

Even the average Central Army cannot be compared with it at all.
