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

Chapter 94 Artillery Battalion Commander

In order to retaliate against the two disastrous defeats in Cangyunling and Yangcun, the First Japanese Army must mobilize heavy troops to carry out encirclement and suppression.

However, before their heavy troops were fully assembled, the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy casualties.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka was furious. He clamored to wipe out Chu Yunfei's 358th regiment and Li Yunlong's new regiment before the end of the month!
A series of combat orders began to be conveyed from the army headquarters, and the independent and mixed fourth brigade began to advance rapidly towards the front lines of Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town.

In addition, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army, which was hit hard, also began to accommodate troops, reorganize them, and prepare to assist in combat.

Although the Ishikawa Brigade was wiped out, the fourth independent and mixed brigade, the core of the Japanese army's operations, was not hit at all.

Therefore, the First Army continued to encircle and suppress the Yangcun area according to the original plan.

At ten o'clock that morning, the main force of the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade advanced to Qingshan Town.

Major General Shotaro Katayama, head of the brigade, set up the brigade department directly in Qingshan Town.

Immediately afterwards, they began to communicate with the First Army Command, and immediately established contact with the nearby Japanese and puppet troops.

The Independent Mixed Fourth Brigade is only a defensive brigade, but this time they have received a series of reinforcements from the First Army.

At present, their thousands of troops have eight mountain artillery, eight field artillery, 36 mortars, and dozens of heavy machine guns.

With such a large number of heavy weapons, Major General Shotaro Katayama, head of the brigade, is full of confidence in this operation.

What's more, they can also get support from the Fujita Brigade and the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

In Katayama Shotaro's view, as long as the attack is launched, they will soon be able to completely annihilate the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army!
It was at this time that the various ministries participating in the war in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town had already returned to their respective camps.

After Li Yunlong returned with his troops, he immediately formed a cavalry company.

Looking at more than 100 cavalry troops, Li Yunlong grinned stupidly, not to mention how happy he was.

And here at the 358 regiment's station, after Chen Ziyun returned with his troops, he was greeted by Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and other officers in person.

Originally Chu Yunfei and others thought that Chen Ziyun had just completed the task of capturing the puppet cavalry, but when they saw the troops, they were completely dumbfounded.

After listening to Chen Ziyun's detailed report, Chu Yunfei and his party froze in place, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"It was the first time to attack Qingshan Town, wiped out 500 Japanese troops, and rescued more than [-] prisoners of war!"

"The second attack on Qingshan Town, wiped out a brigade of the Japanese army, and seized countless weapons and ammunition!"

"You also defeated a regiment of the Imperial Association Army, captured two hundred puppet cavalry, and captured the cavalry's weapons and equipment!"

"Chen Tuanfu, the cavalry battalion of the puppet army is not in Wanjia Town, why did it go to Qingshan Town again?"

Rao Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the regiment, was thinking hard, but he couldn't figure out how Chen Ziyun obtained this series of victories.

Chu Yunfei carefully inspected the prisoners brought back by Chen Ziyun, as well as the captured weapons and equipment.

He looked at Wu Ziqiang, the second battalion commander, and gradually, a smile appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.

"Okay, Ziyun, I asked you to deal with the cavalry battalion of the puppet army. It's good for you to kill the puppet army for more than 2000 days!"

"Ziyun, you can always bring me surprises; you are the lucky general of my 358 regiment!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops have been hit to such a degree that their attack power has been greatly weakened. In the next battle, we have a better chance of winning!"

"Everyone says you, Chen Ziyun, are the god of guns, but I think you, Chen Ziyun, are the god of war!"

Chu Yunfei smiled happily, and he praised Chen Ziyun without hesitation.

Following Fang Ligong and Chu Yunfei's words, the other officers sent a wave of rainbow farts one after another.

Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion, stood not far away with a gloomy face and said nothing.

Of course, if you look closely, you can see the hatred deep in his eyes.

On the contrary, Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Liang Guoping seemed to have completely disregarded it, and directly joined the ranks of sycophants.

After some awards, Chu Yunfei took the officers back to the regiment headquarters.

At this time, the 358th regiment can be said to be strong and strong, and Chen Ziyun has won victories one after another, which gives him enough confidence.

"Now our regiment is quite chaotic, so I plan to reorganize the whole regiment!"

"The whole regiment has been expanded to seven infantry battalions, and each infantry battalion has four infantry companies and one machine gun company under its jurisdiction, with a staff of about 700."

"The first battalion added an additional mortar company, and at the same time, Qian Bojun, the commander of the first battalion, served as the infantry commander of the 358th regiment!"

"Zhang Fugui, the former deputy battalion commander of the first battalion, was transferred to the third battalion as the battalion commander!"

"The regiment is directly under the [-]st artillery company, the [-]nd artillery company, the observation team, the guard company, and the cavalry company are directly under the artillery battalion!"

"Chen Ziyun also served as the major of the 358 regiment, the commander of the artillery battalion, and the infantry commander of the major!"

Soon, in the regiment headquarters of the 358th regiment, officers gathered.

Chu Yunfei looked at the crowd, and he directly issued the reorganization order.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Yunfei directly announced the appointment of the regiment headquarters without giving the officer any time to react.

Qian Bojun took the position of infantry commander and also served as a battalion commander.

Wu Ziqiang served as the commander of the second battalion, Zhang Fugui served as the commander of the third battalion, and Shi Yujia served as the commander of the fourth battalion...

After this reorganization, the 358 regiment has seven infantry battalions and one artillery battalion.

The communication company and the supply company in the other battalion were taken back and belonged to the command of the regiment headquarters.

Lieutenant Colonel Liang Guoping also has real power, and is responsible for managing and commanding the two companies.

Of course, from the perspective of organization, the artillery battalion is only a nominal artillery force.

In fact, there are guard companies and cavalry companies, which means that they are not just artillery units.

Moreover, Chen Ziyun's artillery commander was also changed by Chu Yunfei to the infantry commander, and there is a way to do this.

"Chief of Staff, immediately contact the Seventh Army Headquarters and ask for credit for Ziyun."

"At the same time, declare the latest establishment and personnel appointment of the 358 regiment, and ask the commander-in-chief to approve some weapons and ammunition!"

"Notify the whole regiment that the infantry commander Qian Bojun can command the infantry of the whole regiment to fight with the approval of the regiment headquarters!"

Chu Yunfei stood up, with a serious expression on his face, and spoke again.

"Yes, group seat." Fang Ligong replied immediately with a salute.

He started to call in the communications corps, and immediately sent a power signal to contact the Seventh Army General Headquarters.

Qian Bojun frowned and sat on the chair without saying a word.

He knew that his first battalion was completely disintegrated by Chu Yunfei.

But he couldn't say anything more, after all Chu Yunfei gave him the position of infantry commander!

And nominally, this is a position that can command the entire infantry regiment to fight.

Qian Bojun had nothing to say, so the others naturally wouldn't say much.

All the officers stood up and expressed their support for Chu Yunfei's decision.

In the following time, the 358 regiment began a major reorganization.

Chen Ziyun, on the other hand, chose the soldiers first and directly added them to his artillery battalion.
