Fu Zuoyi still knows a lot about his eldest brother, although he is slightly deficient in military affairs, but he is still very good in dealing with people, whether it is the officers of his faction or the bigwigs of the Central Army, he has some friendships with Li Fuying, including Tang Shengzhi, He Yingqin and others. Thinking about it, at this critical juncture, Li Fuying will not make any jokes with himself.

"Xinghe County Security Corps, Xinghe County Security Corps" Fu Zuoyi frowned and muttered as he walked.

"Brother Xinwu, you go and find out who the head of this Xinghe County Security Regiment is, and then ask where this unit is now." Commander Fu said with a frown.

"Junzuo, don't check, this head of the Xinghe County Security Regiment is called Chen Feng, you probably don't remember, you personally appointed him as the colonel a few months ago." Although Fu has now been appointed commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army, old subordinates like Ye Qijie are still willing to call him a military seat.

"It's him, Li Jingyuan is back, if he comes back, let him come to see me quickly." After being reminded by Ye Qijie, Commander Fu finally remembered who Chen Feng was.

Soon, the guard came in and reported: "Commander, Director Li is still inspecting the troops below and has not yet returned, but he sent a telegram to the commander a few days ago. ”

"Telegram, what telegram, why didn't I see it?"

"That's the case, Commander, you don't give an explanation, the military affairs on the front line of Zhangjiakou and Tianzhen will be given priority in the past few days, and the rest will be postponed, so the telegram sent by Director Li has not been reported to you for the time being." Wang Jinshan, the chief of the Seventh Army in charge of intelligence and communications, stood up and replied.

Fu Zuoyi remembered that he had indeed given such an order, so he said: "Hurry up and bring me Li Jingyuan's telegram, and send another report to Li Jingyuan, so that he can immediately go to the headquarters to return to his life." ”

"Yes"

Soon a telegram with a copy of Lu was sent to Fu Zuoyi, the telegram only had more than 100 words, but it was these more than 100 words that made Fu Zuoyi look at it again and again, and the most reluctant, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu said with a smile: "What a Chen Feng, what a security group!" I, Fu Yisheng, didn't look away, the value given by the colonel's regiment commander. ”

"Junzao, what's wrong, this Chen Feng actually made you so happy." Ye Qijie asked with a smile.

"See for yourself, hehehe!" As he spoke, he handed the telegram to Ye Qijie.

After reading the telegram sent by Li Jingyuan, Ye Qijie was also full of surprise, and then said: "This Chen Feng has a good strategic vision, he actually bought so many weapons and equipment out of his own pocket before the outbreak of the war, and also formed such a large army, amazing, amazing!" Then Ye Qijie asked suspiciously: "But how can Chen Feng have anything to do with the 61st Army, and why did Li Junzuo make a special trip to ask you to thank Chen Feng for him?" ”

"I think it's this Chen Feng who stabbed the little devil in the back with his security regiment, and directly or indirectly helped the 61st Army a big favor." Fu Zuoyi said with a smile.

"Then we should immediately ask, if we really win the battle, it will be the first victory of the Chinese army since the Anti-Japanese War!" Ye Qijie hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes, we should call and ask, can our headquarters contact Chen Feng's department?" Fu Zuoyi asked.

"Yes, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, all our counties in Suiyuan were equipped with radio stations, and after the outbreak of the war, we ordered all security regiments to immediately take over the defense of the county, including the order that the radio station was under the direct management of the troops. Ye Qijie replied.

"Then immediately send a report to ask where Chen Feng is now, is his security team attacking, and what are the results?" Fu Zuoyi ordered.

Stone Buddha Temple. Temporary Command.

"Report to the commander, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, a total of an infantry wing and a cavalry division of the puppet army, with a total strength of more than 5,500 people, and they are now encamped in front of the positions of the third battalion, and may launch an attack at any time."

"Keep watching!"

"Report to the commander, the Japanese army has launched an attack on the position of the third battalion, please instruct!"

"The three battalions were ordered to return fire immediately. However, only one-third of the firing points and troops were allowed to be exposed, and after the enemy was repulsed, everyone immediately entered the anti-artillery holes, leaving only a few observation posts. ”

"Yes"

"Report to the commander, the first wave of the Japanese attack has been repulsed!"

"Continue to monitor"

"Report to the commander, the Japanese launched an artillery bombardment of the positions of the three battalions, and the Japanese army had an artillery squadron, armed with eight mortars and two Type 92 infantry guns."

"Order the artillery battalion to find an opportunity to return fire, and be sure to kill the Japanese artillery in the first round of attacks."

"Yes"

"Report to the commander, the guard battalion sent a telegram, Commander Fu asked where you are now, and asked us if the security regiment had attacked the Japanese army, and what were the results?" The operator reported.

"Deputy Commander, that Deputy Commander?" Chen Feng asked without raising his head.

"It is Commander Fu Zuoyi, commander-in-chief of the Seventh Army and chairman of Suiyuan Province."

"Commander Fu, why is he in the mood to care about our security regiment?" Chen Feng asked in surprise.

"Commander, it should be reported by Tianzhen, and Li Fuying's sixty-first army will belong to the battle sequence of the Seventh Army." Li Wensheng said.

"Well, let the guard battalion send the password of the radio station of Commander Fu's headquarters, and send a report to the headquarters of the Seventh Army in the name of the security regiment, the message is as follows: The Japanese invaded the border, attacked Tianzhen, an important town in the north of our Jin, and threatened the safety of Xinghe, where we are stationed, and led the Xinghe County Security Regiment of the Ministry of Finance and yesterday to the south to reinforce the defenders of Tianzhen, and on the way to the march last night, they took Xinping Fort, the northern gateway of Tianzhen, and annihilated more than 160 defenders, of which the Japanese army had a complete infantry squad. This morning, more than 1,000 men of our regiment secretly attacked the Japanese artillery positions, eliminated the two brigade headquarters of the Japanese artillery brigade, killed more than 1,300 Japanese officers and officers, destroyed 24 Japanese large-caliber artillery pieces and countless ammunition, and attracted a wing of Japanese infantry and a division of pseudo-cavalry to go north, directly and effectively supporting the battle of the 61st Army. However, the headquarters also suffered heavy losses, including 522 dead soldiers, 811 wounded, and more than 30 missing, totaling more than 1,400 people," Chen Feng quickly dictated the telegram sent to the headquarters of the Seventh Army.

At this time, Chen Feng couldn't imagine how much waves his telegram would make, in his opinion, it was just an ordinary telegram that could not be more ordinary, but when this telegram entered the eyes of the Seventh Army and even the high-level leaders of the Second World War Zone, this ordinary telegram became the first good news since the Nationalist Government's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Yanmen Pass. Command of the Seventh Army.

"Military seat, the Xinghe County Security Corps sent a good report, destroying more than 1,300 enemies."

"What, more than 1,300 enemies have been annihilated, hurry up and take it!" Fu Zuoyi hurriedly said.

The telegraph operator did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly handed over the telegram.

Fu Zuoyi took the telegram and read it carefully, and after a while, a hearty laugh came out of Commander Fu's mouth, and at the same time, he kept saying: "The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!" ”

"Junza, what did Chen Feng say?" Ye Qijie was also very concerned about the situation in Xinghe, and hurriedly asked.

"Very good, last night the security regiment attacked Xinping Fort at night and wiped out more than 160 defenders. This morning, they attacked again and attacked the Japanese artillery positions, completely annihilating 2 Japanese artillery brigades and an infantry squadron, posing a fatal threat to the safety of the Japanese flank, forcing Hideki Tojo to divide his troops to the north. Fu Zuoyi said excitedly.

"Great victory, this is the first major victory of our Chinese army against Japan since the Anti-Japanese War, which can be regarded as breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army and stripping the coat of the gods raised by those sons of bitch." Ye Qijie also said excitedly.

"Immediately send a report to the marshal to report the victory, and at the same time send a report to Li Fuying's 61st Army, ordering the 61st Army to hold for another 7 days, and wait for the order after 7 days." Fu Zuoyi said loudly.

After giving the order, Fu Zuoyi said to Ye Qijie again: "Brother Xinwu, although Chen Feng, a bastard boy, gave the Japanese a stick, his own casualties were not small, and he lost nearly half of his men and horses. And now that the Japanese army has sent an infantry wing and a cavalry division of a puppet army to the north, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the security regiment to resist. ”

"Then let them withdraw, anyway, their goal has been achieved, not only threatening the flank of the Japanese army, but also forcing Hideki Tojo to divide his troops north, and now that he is withdrawing from the battle, no one will say anything, besides, how can a security regiment with more than half of his casualties be the opponent of so many devils." Ye Qijie said.

"Now the retreating troops also have to take a lot of risks, now the security regiment is blocking the Japanese army from going north on the front line of the Shifo Temple, and the bayonet of the little devil has reached the chest of the security regiment, and the retreat at this time is likely to cause a big rout." Fu Zuoyi said with a frown.

"Then what should we do, we can't just send a good news to the headquarters of the Second War Zone and then tell them that this heroic unit has been eaten by little devils, right?" Ye Qijie said.

"In this way, draw out a regiment from Dong Qiwu's department, and then assemble the Jining Security Regiment and the early security regiment, and let them rush to Xinghe overnight to replace Chen Feng's department." Fu Zuoyi said.

"I think it's okay, the combat effectiveness of the 218 Brigade is not bad, plus two security regiments, the total is almost 4,000 people, and it should be no problem to replace the Xinghe County Security Regiment. But the only thing to worry about now is whether Chen Feng's troops can hold out until the arrival of reinforcements. You must know that what they are facing is a complete Japanese infantry wing, and even a division of the Central Army may not be able to carry it head-on, let alone a half-crippled security regiment. Ye Qijie said.

"Send a report to Chen Feng's subordinates, ordering them to rely on the favorable terrain to stand for reinforcements, as long as they hold on for eight hours, the reinforcements can arrive. Tell Chen Feng that when he comes back alive, I will promote him to be a brigade commander. Fu Zuoyi said.
