Chapter 599: Flying Thunder Cannon
Wang Ye said: "The first step of the plan, due to the provocation of Chi Dianyuan's department, our northwest Henan detachment decided to launch a minimum retaliatory action, striving to eat one or two battalions of Chi Dianyuan's department, and put on the illusion that the army was pressing the border, then Chi Dianyuan will definitely ask for support from the commander's department of the First War Zone under pressure." β
After a pause, he said: "Chu Shizuo has offended Tang Enbo now, so there is a high probability that the First War Zone Commander's Department will let Chu Shizuo lead the 89th Division to aid northern Henan, which is nothing more than using the 89th Division as cannon fodder." β
"Counselor Wang, don't say irlevant." Chu Yunfei interrupted, "Let's get to the point." β
Wang Ye smiled and said: "After Chu Shizuo led the 89th Division to arrive in northern Henan, he can carry out an iron-fisted purge of the officer corps of Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi in the name of holding a military meeting. β
"You don't have to worry about this." Chu Yunfei said, "What if Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi don't come to the meeting?" β
Wang Ye said: "It stands to reason that in the face of the pressure of our army in the northwest of Henan, Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi would never have imagined that Chu Shizuo would dare to attack them at this time, so there is a high probability that they will attend the meeting, but there are no absolutes, and I dare not guarantee that these two people will definitely attend the meeting with their henchmen, but I believe that Chu Shizuo will definitely be able to think of a solution." β
Li Yunlong also laughed and said: "Xiao Wang also mentioned this worry to me yesterday, so I told him directly, Brother Yunfei, if you can't even clean up Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi, then what else should you be the commander of the 89th Division?" Ha ha. β
"Hmph, Brother Yunlong, what you said is really light." Chu Yunfei snorted and said, "Then let's talk about the next move." β
Wang Ye continued: "When the Chu division has cleaned up the Chidian Yuan Department and Zhao Xunqi Department, our two armies can start a brutal repeated tug-of-war, and use the line from Qingliang Mountain, Erlang Town to Goutou Mountain as the tug-of-war line, today our northwest Henan detachment will control the tug-of-war line, and tomorrow it will be your 89th Division's turn to control." β
"Positions can change hands more frequently over time."
"Every time a position changes hands, a large number of corpses of your own personnel are lifted from the position."
Speaking of this, he said: "In this tug-of-war process, we will hand over that batch of US weapons and equipment to the 89th Division, and Chu Shizuo also needs to hand over 4 million rounds of 7.92mm caliber Mauser rifle cartridges to us." β
"That's fine." Chu Yunfei snorted, "What Chu promised will definitely be done." β
Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei stared at Li Yunlong again and said: "Chu is not like some people, who stole the weapons and equipment of a regiment of Chu someone, and said that they would return it, but they never returned it. β
"Harm, Brother Yunfei, why do you still remember these things about Chen Guzi sesame seeds." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "Let's not mention the past, hehe, hehe." β
Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said: "You can not mention the past, but if there is a second time, Brother Yunlong will not blame Chu for turning his face and not recognizing people, and singing this fake drama true, you and my brother will really fight to the death in northwest Henan, so please Brother Yunlong must be true to his word." β
"Definitely." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It must be." β
Li Yunlong said in his heart, if there is a chance, you must continue to black, you didn't discuss, don't black, who is Chu Yunfei? Who made you dog day is the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the Standing Committee and the rich man of the land?
Wang Ye then admonished: "Master Chu, if you want to sing this good show well, the tug-of-war at this stage is the most critical, and the most difficult point is a high degree of secrecy!" β
"So during the tug-of-war, a strict mutual supervision mechanism must be established."
"No matter who it is, no matter what level, no one is allowed to act alone, even if it is to relieve the hand, three people need to be together, once it is found that someone wants to leave the team without permission, they will be killed!"
Speaking of the last meal, Wang Ye said solemnly: "Please pay attention to Master Chu." β
"Our 89th Division will definitely not have problems." Chu Yunfei snorted coldly and said, "As long as you don't leak secrets." β
"I will take Master Chu's words as encouragement." Wang Ye smiled and said, "During our repeated tug-of-war, Master Chu should not forget to report more battle damages. β
"Report war losses directly to the Standing Chairman."
"Tang Enbo will certainly not be willing to supply personnel and supplies,"
"But as long as the Standing Chairman sends telegrams again and again, I am afraid that Tang Enbo will not be able to hold on."
Speaking of this, Wang Ye said again: "When begging for supplies, Chu Shizuo must remember to ask for more explosives, the more the better, these explosives will be of great use in the future." β
"Dynamite?" Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "And then?" β
Wang Ye said: "Then it's just waiting, waiting for the devil puppet army to bite the hook by himself." β
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Okamura Ningji has always been cautious, and he will definitely let the devil puppet army in northern Henan watch the fire from the other side, and strictly prohibit them from attacking, but if it lasts for a long time, as long as the devils in northern Henan ask for battle, the old devil will also be moved, and there is a high probability that the 163rd Infantry Wing of Anhua will come to the back." β
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Brother Yunfei, Xiao Wang has already reconnoitred, the fortifications built by the devil puppet army outside Anxian County and Shanyang County are really not ordinarily perfect, if you attack head-on, even if you combine the strength of your 89th Division and our Northwest Henan Detachment, I am afraid there will be no chance." β
Wang Ye said: "But if the devil puppet army abandons the strong fortifications, it is definitely not the opponent of our northwest Henan detachment, if there is still the 89th division of the Chu division to help the battle, it is also a high probability event to completely annihilate the devil puppet army, and then you can take advantage of the victory to recover nine county towns such as Anxian and Shanyang in northern Henan." β
After a pause, he said: "Of course, when it comes to external propaganda, the Chu division can be said to be the 89th Division's recovery, because our northwest Henan detachment has been heavily damaged by the 89th Division in the previous tug-of-war, and in this battle, the Chu division led the 89th Division to first severely damage our northwest Henan detachment, and then completely annihilated the devil puppet army, and finally recovered the nine counties in northwest Henan. β
Li Yunlong continued: "Brother Yunfei, propaganda can be promoted, but in fact, the four northernmost counties have to belong to us, which we said before. β
Chu Yunfei snorted coldly in response, and then asked Wang Ye: "Staff Officer Wang, are you sure that your Northwest Henan Detachment plus our 89th Division can completely annihilate one wing of the Japanese army plus two divisions of the puppet army?" β
"I'm sure." Wang Ye said affirmatively, "There is absolutely no problem. β
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Of course, the premise is that the 4 million rounds of ammunition promised by Chu Shizuo must be in place, otherwise our northwest Henan detachment will not have rice to cook, and it will be difficult to exert its combat effectiveness." β
Chu Yunfei glanced at Sun Ming and asked, "How many of you are now?" β
Wang Ye turned his gaze to Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wang, Brother Yunfei and I are brothers in life and death, and there is nothing to hide from him, just say it." β
Wang Ye said to Chu Yunfei truthfully: "Chu Shizuo, when our detachment first arrived in northwest Henan, there were only nearly 4,000 veterans, but now it has expanded to nearly 7,000 people. β
Considering the need for cooperation, Wang Ye told the truth this time.
"Seven thousand?" Chu Yunfei was secretly surprised in his heart, and asked again, "Is there artillery?" β
Wang Ye replied: "There is only one Shanghai-style 82mm caliber mortar, and there are only less than 20 shells. β
"What? Only one Shanghainese 82mm caliber mortar? There are only a dozen shells left? Chu Yunfei said angrily, "Just like this, you still dare to boast about eating an infantry wing of the Japanese army?" β
Sun Ming also said: "That is, without artillery, this battle can't be fought at all." β
Wang Ye said with a smile: "That's why we asked Chu Shizuo to ask the prefect's department for enough explosives. β
Chu Yunfei said: "What's the use of explosives? Can you still throw explosives bags into the devil's position? β
Wang Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said: "It's worthy of Master Chu, I can even guess this, I really let you say, we really plan to throw the explosive bag into the devil's position." β
"Just kidding." Sun Ming said, "The lightest explosives bag is also a five-pound bag, how far can you throw it?" β
"This doesn't bother Captain Sun Ming, in short, we have a way." Wang Ye smiled and said, "As long as the explosives promised by Chu Shizuo can be in place, we can throw them on the devil's position, not only the position, but also when attacking Anxian, Shanyang and other county towns later, these explosives can also play a role." β
Chu Yunfei said: "How many explosives do you need?" β
Wang Ye said: "At least 10,000 catties, 20,000 catties is better." β
Of the five-kilogram explosives package, 10,000 kilograms is only 2,000 flying thunder cannons.
Two thousand rounds of flying thunder cannons are used to fight one wing of devils and two divisions of the puppet army, which is more than enough, but if it is used to storm the nine county towns in northern Henan, it will inevitably be a little stretched.
Chu Yunfei stared at Wang Ye silently, as if evaluating what he had just said.
After a long time, Chu Yunfei slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll be responsible for getting you 20,000 catties of explosives!" β
"Master Chu is really refreshing!" Wang Ye smiled slightly, and said, "However, Master Chu, please rest assured, these 20,000 catties of explosives will definitely not be taken in vain, and you will definitely be able to reap a piece of battle exploits!" β
Li Yunlong asked Wang Ye to put the map away again, and said with a smile: "Brother Yunfei, can you drink now?" β
Chu Yunfei also took Sun Ming to sit down again, and said, "Brother Yunlong, I, Yunfei, have never drunk, but today I made an exception for your brother, you and my brother will not return if they are not drunk!" β
"It's refreshing." Li Yunlong laughed.
β¦β¦
Full of wine and food, Li Yunlong took Wang Ye out of Xingyang City.
Outside the city, Ge Erdan and Duan Peng, who acted as horse stakes, met Ge Erdan and Duan Peng, and the group of four crossed the Yellow River on the ice, and then returned to the headquarters of Erlang Town overnight.
Early the next morning, the northwestern Henan detachment suddenly launched an attack.
The two battalions of Chi Dianyuan's temporary 1st Brigade at the forefront were caught off guard and were completely annihilated by the northwest Henan detachment.
After receiving the report, Chi Dianyuan was surprised, but also a little dumbfounded, why did the Eighth Route Army really come? Haven't the two sides reached a tacit agreement to stop creating friction?
At that moment, Chi Dianyuan gathered troops to confront the Eighth Route Army, and at the same time asked for help from the Commander's Department of the First War Zone.
The reaction of the First War Zone Commander's Department was really as Wang Ye expected, and he really used Chu Yunfei's 89th Division as cannon fodder, and strictly ordered Chu Yunfei to lead his troops north to aid Sen County within three days.
And Chu Yunfei's reaction was also consistent and resolute.
After receiving the order from the Theater Commander's Department, Chu Yunfei immediately gathered his troops and headed north.
By the evening of the next day, Chu Yunfei led the main force of the 89th Division to the outside of Erlang Town, and by this time, the strength of the 89th Division had recovered to 5,000 people.
Three thousand of them were veterans of the 89 Division.
The other 2,000 were newly recruited.
It should also be noted that the morale of the 89th Division was very high.
Because after crossing the Yellow River to Erlang Town, the food standard of the 89th Division was higher.
Originally, when he was stationed in Xingyang, he had two dry meals a day, but after arriving at the front line in Erlang Town, it was upgraded to a wartime ration of three dry meals a day, and pickles were often eaten.
This can make Chi Dianyuan's department and Zhao Xunqi's department envious.
Looking at the smoke rising from the position of the 89th Division, and smelling the aroma of rice and vegetables wafting in the cold wind, the saliva of the officers and men of Chi Dianyuan's department and Zhao Xunqi's department dried up.
β¦β¦
Zhao Xunqi was so anxious that he found Chi Dianyuan again.
"Brother Chi, what do you call this?" Zhao Xunqi said, "He Chu Yunfei is a proud protΓ©gΓ©, and the 89th Division is also a descendant of the Central Army, and all kinds of supplies are given priority, you and my brother's two temporary brigades can't compare with them, but Chu Yunfei, this kid is good, he deliberately made such a big move when cooking and eating, isn't this deliberately burying the two of us?" β
"Who's to say it's not." Chi Dianyuan said with a dark face, "The brothers have already scolded us behind our backs. β
Zhao Xunqi said: "Brother Chi, it's not okay to go on like this, within ten days, the people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will not be able to take it." β
"Ten days? Brother Xunqi, you are too optimistic. Chi Dianyuan shook his head and said, "Today, there are already people who want to secretly go to the 89th Division to eat, but Chu Yunfei has scruples and doesn't dare to accept it, otherwise there may be few people left in Lao Tzu's brigade, so let alone ten days, you and my brother will become the commander of the light pole in three days." β
Chi Dianyuan's words are a bit exaggerated, but they are basically true.
At that moment, Zhao Xunqi asked again: "It's not okay to go on like this, we have to think of a way." β
"What can be done?" Chi Dianyuan said, "We can't get any extra food. β
In fact, there is still food, and Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi have deducted a lot of grain in their hands, but they are all ready to sell this grain at a high price to make money, and it is impossible to take it out for the troops to eat.
Zhao Xunqi said again: "Why don't you borrow some food from Chu Yunfei?" β
Chi Dianyuan said angrily: "Do you think Chu Yunfei will borrow it?" β
"I'm definitely not going to borrow it." Zhao Xunqi sighed and said, "You said that this matter is complete, we were originally worried that Chu Yunfei was ordered by Lao Chang to incorporate our two brigades, and after arriving in northern Henan, he might attack us, so he did not hesitate to provoke friction with the Eighth Route Army, but he didn't want to do such a thing." β
Chi Dianyuan said: "No, for now, Chu Yunfei doesn't want to say that he has absorbed us, maybe he will think that our two brigades are a burden, right?" Anyway, I definitely don't want to have more than 10,000 mouths to eat. β
While he was talking, Chi Dianyuan's adjutant came in and reported: "Brigade seat, Chu Shizuo has sent someone to pass the word, let us take care of our own troops, and don't always run to their positions to eat." β
"Look, I ran over to eat again, it's really a shame." Chi Dianyuan said with a dark face.
Zhao Xunqi said: "Isn't it like this bird over there?" Anyway, I can't fucking control it, he Chu Yunfei can just take a gun and drive people if he has the ability. β
As soon as the words fell, a burst of gunfire really rang out outside.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xunqi's adjutant ran in panting.
"Brigade, something happened." The adjutant gasped and reported, "When a group of brothers ran to the 89th Division's position to eat, they clashed with the men of the 89th Division, and in the end both sides fired their guns, and one died each. β
"Holy." Chi Dianyuan glared at Zhao Xunqi, "You crow's mouth." β
"Damn." Zhao Xunqi slapped himself hard in the mouth and said, "What's wrong with my mouth being opened?" β
Immediately afterwards, Chi Dianyuan's adjutant came in and reported: "Brigade seat, Chu Shizuo asked us to gather all the officers above the battalion level, and he wants to give a lecture." β
After speaking, he turned his head to Zhao Xunqi and said, "Zhao Luzao, the officers of your temporary 2nd Brigade will also come over to receive a lecture. β
"Grandma, why?" Zhao Xunqi snorted, "He, Chu Yunfei, is not Lao Tzu's boss, why should Lao Tzu and the officers of the 2nd Temporary Brigade listen to his teachings?" Don't listen! β
Chi Dianyuan's adjutant said: "Master Chu will send a batch of grain after the lecture." β
"What, send food?" Zhao Xunqi immediately turned his anger into joy, "That's coming." β
At that moment, Zhao Xunqi returned to the position of the temporary 2nd Brigade and brought officers above the battalion level.
Zhao Xunqi didn't think much about Chu Yunfei's move at all, because the training location was in the position of the temporary 1st Brigade, and on Chi Dianyuan's territory, he was not afraid of Chu Yunfei's actions at all.
As for Chi Dianyuan, he is two grasshoppers on the same rope.
Therefore, no matter who Chi Dianyuan betrayed, it would never be possible to betray him.
β¦β¦
Erlang Town, Headquarters of the Northwest Henan Detachment.
Wang Ye said: "Commander, Chu Yunfei has succeeded. β
Li Yunlong raised his head when he heard the sound and asked, "This is a success?" β
Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao on the side also looked up.
Li Yunlong said again: "Xiao Wang, tell me quickly, how did Chu Yunfei get this kid?" β
"Actually, there is nothing." Wang Ye said, "Chu Yunfei took advantage of the fact that the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division could eat enough, but Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's troops were hungry, which caused a small friction, and then proposed that he could give Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi's troops a batch of food, but he wanted to lecture all the officers above the battalion level in the two brigades. β
Speaking of this, he said: "Then I took advantage of the training to give all the officers above the battalion level under Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi, and then took out Chang Kaishen's secret order to easily take over the two troops." β
"It's that simple?" Xing Zhiguo was stunned and said, "Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi and the officers under them don't have a little defense? Chu Yunfei asked them to go to the position of the 89th Division, and they really went obediently? β
"Didn't go to the 89th Division position." Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Chu Yunfei is moving from the position of the 1st Brigade for the time being. β
"Huh?" Not only Xing Zhiguo, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were also a little surprised, "Chu Yunfei actually dared to make a move on the position of the 1st Brigade?" Didn't Chi Dianyuan resist? β
Wang Ye laughed and said, "Chu Yunfei didn't give him a chance to resist at all. β
"What does that mean?" Zhang Dabiao said, "In the position of the 1st Brigade, on his own territory, how could Chi Dianyuan not even have a chance to resist?" β
Li Yunlong said impatiently: "Xiao Wang, just say it directly, what's going on?" β
Wang Ye said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple, Chu Yunfei first only brought Sun Ming and a few guards into the position of the Temporary 1st Brigade, which made Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi relax their vigilance, and really called all the officers above the battalion level together as Chu Yunfei wished, and then in the middle of Chu Yunfei's lecture, Fang Ligong took a company to escort the grain into the position of the Temporary 1st Brigade, and directly sent the grain to the scene of Chu Yunfei's lecture. β
"Since Chi Dianyuan and Zhao Xunqi, the next thing is the ceremony of giving food."
As a result, Chu Yunfei directly turned his face and ordered that company of people to take down Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi and others.
After a pause, he said: "Zhao Xunqi was directly dumbfounded, Chi Dianyuan wanted to resist, but found that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Temporary Brigade did not listen to his orders at all!" Instead, he applauded Chu Yunfei! β
Zhao Gang nodded abruptly and said: "I understand, Chu Yunfei has made full use of the weakness of human nature, because Chi Dianyuan and the officers and soldiers of Zhao Xunqi's department have seen what kind of life the officers and soldiers of the 89th Division are living, and they have no choice before, so they can only endure the oppression and humiliation of Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi and the dogs of the two people, but when they have the opportunity to choose, they will not hesitate to abandon Chi Dianyuan, Zhao Xunqi and the doglegs of the two. β
The commissar in the words. Wang Ye nodded with a smile, "That's it." β
Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "But Chu Yunfei dares to do this, which shows that he is still quite courageous." β
"Needless to say." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "If Chu Yunfei didn't have a little courage, how could he get into the eyes of our old Li?" Our Lao Li is easily unconvinced. β
"Again." Zhao Gang couldn't help but roll his eyes again.
Li Yunlong laughed and said again: "Chu Yunfei has made a good start over there, and we have to hurry up." β
"There are no problems on our side." Wang Ye said solemnly, "The boss has sent someone to send 50,000 catties of gunpowder and 100 gasoline barrels, and the boss also said that if the gunpowder is not enough, he can send it again." β
"That's enough." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "50,000 catties of gunpowder is more than enough." β
After a pause, he said: "Since everything is ready, let's start quickly, I am worried that the New Year is coming soon, and Lao Tzu also pointed to the devils who slaughtered Anxian County and the puppet army to have a good New Year." β
"Slaughtered for the New Year?" Zhao Gang smiled, "Lao Li, do you treat the devil puppet army as a pig?" β
"Not really." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "For our Eighth Route Army, the devil puppet army is the New Year Pig. β
