Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 189 The Observation Group Is Coming
After Fang Ligong talked with Chu Yunfei, he immediately reported the news that Hirata Ichiro and others were killed in Juxian Tower to the World War II District Chief's Department.

In fact, they didn't need to report. The World War II District Chief's Department had already learned what happened in Heyuan County through the news sent back by the spies.

It's just that they don't know who killed Hirata Ichiro, that's all.

WWII Zone Chief's Department.

Yan Laoxi had just had breakfast, and came to his office to sit down for a while.

Zhang Riming, the adjutant of the guard, suddenly took a translated message and rushed in from the outside: "Boss, good news, good news!"

Yan Laoxi raised his head, looked at Zhang Riming suspiciously and asked, "Oh? What good news?"

Zhang Riming: "Last night, there was a riot in Heyuan County, and the Japanese Gendarmerie Captain Hirata Ichiro, the Japanese 19th Infantry Battalion Commander Kameda Koji, and a group of Japanese and puppet officers have been found out."

Yan Laoxi: "Who did it?"

Zhang Riming: "Chu Yunfei, head of the 358 regiment!"

After speaking, Zhang Riming handed over the telegram in his hand.

"Is it Chu Yunfei?"

Yan Laoxi was taken aback for a moment, then picked up the telegram and began to read it.

Although the contents of the telegram were simple, Yan Laoxi read it for more than a minute. There was no other reason.

In the past, the world said that the Jinsui Army was useless and could not fight devils. Recently, the Eighth Route Army has even taken the limelight.

This made Yan Laoxi very upset. If it was the Central Army, it would be fine, but even the Eighth Route Army was riding on top of their Jinsui Army.

If it weren't for his intention to preserve his strength, if he really beat the devils, what would happen to their Eighth Route Army?
Although Chu Yunfei acted on his own without asking for instructions this time, which violated the military order in principle, he did not dispatch a large force after all, and achieved quite good results.

What's more, Chu Yunfei is Yan Laoxi's favorite general, and he is in a good mood, so naturally he will not pursue Chu Yunfei's crimes.

After reading the telegram, Yan Laoxi immediately instructed Zhang Riming in front of him: "Riming, send this matter to the whole army immediately, so as to boost the morale of our soldiers in World War II!"

"In addition, instruct the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs to immediately replenish the 358 regiment with 2000 weapons and equipment!"

Zhang Riming thought for a while and said: "Boss, Chu Yunfei failed to manage the army a few days ago, causing his battalion to be rebelled by the Japanese army. Just act on your own.

It's fine if you electrify the three armies about this matter, but if you supplement Chu Yunfei's equipment now, will it cause some people's dissatisfaction. "

"After all, Chu Yunfei is the head of the regiment. He has 5000 troops under him, and his strength exceeds that of many brigade-level combat units. This has already made many people jealous."

Yan Laoxi didn't take it seriously and said: "If anyone has an opinion, let him also kill a Japanese gendarmerie captain and an infantry captain!"

Originally, after Yan Laoxi learned of Qian Bojun's betrayal, he was going to supplement Chu Yunfei's equipment. After all, in the Jinsui Army, there were not many commanders like Chu Yunfei who were capable of fighting.

Moreover, Chu Yunfei has followed Yan Laoxi for more than 10 years, and has always been loyal.

It was only because he was afraid that others would gossip that Yan Laoxi suppressed the plan for the time being.

Now Chu Yunfei single-handedly assassinated Hirata Ichiro and a group of Japanese and puppet army officers in Heyuan County, which can be said to have made a huge military exploit.

Yan Laoxi is naturally not afraid of other people's gossip.

That's right, in this battle report, Fang Ligong deliberately omitted Wang Chengzhu, not because he was afraid that Wang Chengzhu would steal his military exploits, but mainly because it was unnecessary.

Because even if he reported it, the Ministry of Ministers would not reward him.

Perhaps because Chu Yunfei and Wang Chengzhu were too close, Yan Laoxi would become suspicious.

"Yes!"

Zhang Riming promised and turned around to leave, but Yan Laoxi stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

Zhang Riming turned his head in doubt, and asked, "President, do you have any other instructions?"

Yan Laoxi: "In a few days, we will have a military exchange with the Eighth Route Army. You tell Chu Yunfei to prepare, and then go to the Eighth Route Army headquarters with the exchange team from the Minister's Department."

Chu Yunfei did such a show of his face, so Yan Laoxi naturally wanted him to show his face again, in preparation for his promotion.

"Yes!"

Zhang Riming agreed abruptly, and waited for a while to make sure that Yan Laoxi had no other instructions before turning around and leaving.

……

the other side.

Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the Japanese First Army, also learned of the assassination of Ichiro Hirata.

Unlike Yan Laoxi who was smiling all over his face, this old devil was so angry that his face was blue.

"Baga! Ichiro Hirata is such an idiot, it's fine to hold a birthday party, but he hasn't set up a defense yet, so he was taken away by the Chinese army. It's really a pity to die!"

The chief of staff Miyano Jun next to him comforted him: "Your Excellency, Commander, Hirata Ichiro's birthday party was not held for fun, but to raise military expenses for the empire. It's just that I didn't expect that the Chinese army would dare to launch an attack at this time!"

The death of Hirata Ichiro was not a big loss to the entire Japanese First Army. Yoshio Shinozuka's anger gradually calmed down. He asked, "Have you found out who did this?"

Miyano Jun: "According to the news from the special high school, it seems that Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, did it. Just now, the Second War Zone of the China Army has telegraphed the matter to the three armed forces."

"Baga! Hirata Ichiro, this idiot, failed to instigate the 358th Regiment's battalion, and instead lost his own life. It really embarrasses the face of my First Army!"

Shinozuka Yoshio cursed again, and then said, "Go and call Yamamoto-kun over here."

"Yes!"

Miyano Jun promised, turned around, and went to make a phone call himself.

After about 10 minutes.

Kazuki Yamamoto hurried to the Headquarters of the First Army. After he gave Yoshio Shinozuka a sharp pause, he asked for instructions, "Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for me?"

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded and asked, "The observation group of the Front Army will arrive in Taiyuan in five days. How are your preparations going?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said to himself: "Return to Your Excellency Commander, I'm ready, and I guarantee nothing will go wrong!"

"This time, the target of my special agent team is the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army of China. At that time, the observation group only needs to go to the Huting stronghold to observe the whole process of our operation."

Originally, Kazuki Yamamoto's goal was the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, or the new regiment, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he had to settle for the next best thing and choose the independent regiment as his target.

Because the purpose of their plan this time is not to eliminate how many Eighth Route Army, but to prove the feasibility of special operations to the Front Army Command.

Therefore, it is enough to destroy a regiment headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The arrest of Zhu Ziming, the security officer of the independent regiment, is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
