People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chu Yunfei, commander of the 201st Division, had a simple idea: to repel the troops of the 52nd Division and ensure that the northern Henan region could return to its pre-combat state.

Then Chen Ziyun and other troops quickly returned to Zhongtiao Mountain for defense to prevent the two elite regiments of the Laoxiong Mountain Japs from going south to fight.

As for Li Yunlong, he wanted to take advantage of the main force of the 52nd Division to gather in the area west of the Qinhe River, while the Jaap-occupied area in northern Henan was empty to launch operations.

He wanted to command the independent detachment to cross the Qin River and march directly eastward to fight in towns such as Shanyang City to achieve victory.

Li Yunlong's independent detachment is currently expanding, and they are short of weapons, ammunition and combat supplies.

At this time, Li Yunlong had such an idea, and obviously wanted to supplement it by seizing it.

Whether it was Chu Yunfei or Li Yunlong's thoughts, Chen Ziyun could understand them.

However, the situation now is far more serious than they imagined. There are two elite field regiments in Laoxiong Mountain, the 53rd Division in Southeast Shanxi and the 52nd Division in Northern Henan.

As long as these troops have sufficient time to rest and replenish, they will all be restored to full strength.

Subsequently, they can launch attacks with the cooperation of the 36th Division, 37th Division, 41st Division and other units.

If such a number of little devils unite to fight, it will be a great threat.

By that time, even if all departments coordinate defense, they may not be able to gain an advantage.

Even the little devils can mobilize other troops to strengthen their strength, and they can also mobilize enough aviation troops to assist in the battle.

Chen Ziyun was worried about this, so he wanted to take the opportunity to deal a certain blow to the 52nd Division.

As long as the 52nd Division pays a certain amount of casualties and cannot return to full strength in a short period of time, they will be able to take the initiative in subsequent operations.

"Chief of Staff Fang, the Chu Yu Special Agent Group has always been deployed here in Wangwu Town. They have not gone to the Qinhe area to fight."

"The regiment can return to Zhongtiao Mountain for combat at any time, thus strengthening the combat power in the Zhongtiao Mountain area."

"Can you please inform the division commander that this time, I am afraid that the troops in the northern Henan region will not be able to return to Zhongtiao Mountain in a short period of time."

"We are going to continue to fight in Zhongtiao Mountain, and the goal of this operation is to bring a certain degree of losses to the 52nd Division."

Chen Ziyun had a serious expression on his face. He came directly to Fang Ligong and immediately expressed his thoughts.

Fang Ligong originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Chen Ziyun's firm expression, he nodded.

After all, they have worked together for a long time, and Chen Ziyun's character Fang Ligong is still very clear.

As long as Chen Ziyun makes a decision, it is difficult to change it.

Let alone Chu Yunfei, I am afraid that even an order from the superior officer will not be able to change Chen Ziyun's mind.

"Brother Yunlong, I know the situation of your independent detachment. You formed a new third regiment, and the overall strength has declined."

"Both weapons, ammunition and military supplies are in short supply, and you have no replenishment channels except relying on seizures."

"This time you insist on marching eastward to fight, just because you want to supplement it by capturing."

"But you also know the current situation. If we divide our forces to fight, we may be able to win, but the result will not be too great."

"I can promise you that if you stay here to fight, you will have priority in the spoils obtained."

"And as long as there is food, drink, and clothing for our Zhongtiao Mountain Guerrilla Command, your independent detachment will be there."

"You have run out of ammunition. We will replenish it for you right away."

"Brother Yunlong, you and I have been old acquaintances for many years."

"You should know best whether what I, Chen Ziyun, say counts."

Chen Ziyun looked at Li Yunlong in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.

When Li Yunlong heard Chen Ziyun's sincere words, he smiled sheepishly. "Brother Ziyun, everything in our independent detachment needs to be replenished through seizures. This time we fought in Wencheng, but we didn't gain anything at all."

"You also know our situation. We cannot seize spoils when we go out to fight. It will have a great impact on the army in the future."

"But your brother Ziyun has said so. If I insist on having my own way, wouldn't it hurt our relationship?"

"I haven't said anything yet. Brother Ziyun tells you how to fight, and our independent detachment will fully cooperate."

"The conditions you mentioned are completely unnecessary. Just based on your brother Ziyun's words, our independent detachment can be at your disposal."

"Even if we don't get anything back, we, Lao Li, will admit it!"

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Ziyun in front of him, patted his chest and said.

He still cares about weapons, but Li Yunlong knows how to prioritize.

Of course, if it were someone else, no matter how much they promised, they wouldn't be able to change Li Yunlong's decision.

But Chen Ziyun can do it, because the independent detachment can have everything it has today, which is directly related to Chen Ziyun's secret help.

On this point, Li Yunlong felt the same as Ming Jing.

What's more, he also knows that if he fights with Chen Ziyun, he will definitely not suffer.

If it hadn't been for their expansion this time and the lack of much gains from the Wencheng battle, Li Yunlong would not have taken the initiative to propose different battle suggestions.

But now, Chen Ziyun's words directly made Li Yunlong give up his thoughts.

With Li Yunlong's statement, Chen Ziyun was completely relieved. After all, the independent detachment's full cooperation in the next battle could play a decisive role.

Fang Ligong did not delay here and immediately contacted Chu Yunfei and explained the situation in detail.

Chu Yunfei responded quickly and directly transferred Chu Yu's special agent team to assist Chen Ziyun in the battle.

Chen Ziyun quickly contacted the troops staying in the southeastern Shanxi region and asked them to directly report to Chu Yunfei to command the defense.

Time is passing and night is falling.

At nine o'clock in the evening on May 17, Chen Ziyun held a combat meeting in Hanoi County.

Currently in the northern Henan region, many troops have been assembled one after another.

Li Yunlong's detachment has three regiments and two guerrilla brigades.

The Kongjie detachment has one regiment and four guerrilla brigades.

The Zhongtiao Mountain Command dispatched five regiments of troops.

The 201rd Brigade had two regiments of troops, and the st Division also sent a regiment of troops to participate in the battle.

At this time, in the Qinhe area in northern Henan, there were twelve regiments and six guerrilla brigades from various ministries assembled.

On average, each regiment still has about 3,000 troops.

Each guerrilla brigade has about a thousand troops.

Of course, the overall losses of some participating ministries were not small, and their military strength was still sharply reduced.

However, with such a large number of troops, facing the 52nd Division, they still have an absolute advantage in strength.

This time, Chen Ziyun gathered all the officers and cadres of each regiment together.

After they all arrived, Chen Ziyun did not hesitate and announced on the spot that he would launch a siege operation against the main force of the 52nd Division in Ziling Town. (End of chapter)
