After reading these notes, Chu Yunfei immediately burned them.

"Now that our brigade has suffered heavy casualties, I want to hear everyone's opinions on how to make a decision."

There was silence in the brigade headquarters. A few minutes passed and no one spoke.

Yan Laoxi had a serious expression on his face and decisively issued the battle order.

Yan Laoxi must have some ideas for this arrangement, but Chen Ziyun is very clear about the situation in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in a few months.

Yan Laoxi was worried that the Japs would take revenge, so he diverted the trouble to the Eighth Road.

Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun were from Jin Province and were disciples of the Emperor.

"So going to a stable area to rest and replenish is obviously the best choice."

Chen Ziyun and Fang Ligong sat next to Chu Yunfei. They were silent and did not make any statement.

This time Yan Laoxi sent Zhang Fengji to convey the order, and his meaning was obvious.

The heads of each regiment, regiment affiliates, and some battalion commanders of the directly affiliated troops all attended the meeting.

To the west of Pucheng is Jicheng, where Yan Laoxi's official department is located, and to the east is Pingyang City, an important town in southwest Shanxi.

Not long after, Chen Ziyun and Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei.

To the west of the railway is the Luliang Mountains; to the east of the railway is the Taihang Mountains.

Even if the Japs mobilize their aviation forces for continuous bombing, hundreds of planes can completely eliminate the 48th Independent Brigade.

Even some troops still have wounded soldiers following them.

"The brigade headquarters is temporarily under the acting command of Chief of Staff Lin Zhiqiang, and the headquarters of each regiment's regional commander will send a follow-up message."

After Yang Xingru's suggestion, he thought it was time to let Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun take a stand.

Instead, go to Pucheng and cultivate your health for a period of time. They may be able to play a major role during the battle at Zhongtiao Mountain.

"Your Majesty, Commander Yan seems to take us very seriously, but he has never stopped doubting us."

However, as Chu Yunfei's troops gained victory one after another, Yan Laoxi wanted to win over them.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the 31st, the 27th Division held an entry ceremony in Jingle City.

To the west of Pucheng is Jicheng, and to the southwest of Jicheng is Kenanpo, where the headquarters of the Second War Zone Commander is located.

He has been exhausted during this period, and now he can take a good rest.

By the early morning of December 31, the 71st Division and other troops had withdrawn from the battlefield.

"Taking a seat in a hotel or sitting in a hotel room may not be the best choice for us, no matter where we go."

Chu Yunfei's troops were initially deployed in the northwest area of ​​Shanxi, mainly because Yan Laoxi wanted to clear up the relationship.

Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun, and Fang Ligong went to different cars.

Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong and then at Chen Ziyun.

"If our troops, which we finally recovered with great difficulty, suffer heavy losses, the gains will not be worth the losses."

At the same time, Hao Shiwen's First Guerrilla Column, which was cooperating with the 48th Independent Brigade in Lancheng and other areas, also began to receive orders.

The infantry was relatively okay, but the march of the field artillery battalion and other troops was very difficult.

However, he would never have imagined that he would send Chu Yunfei and Chen Ziyun to the Eighth Route Independent Detachment to learn and exchange.

The little devils carried out a series of propaganda, reporting that they had won a great victory this time.

By that time, the defense of Zhongtiao Mountain no longer had loopholes, it was just a sieve, with holes everywhere.

Whether to carry out the orders of the chief minister has become the focus of their discussion.

They will also go to Pucheng to wait for follow-up combat orders from the commander's department.

"At the same time, contact the 48th Independent Brigade to get them out of contact with the Japanese army and quickly move to Pucheng."

At three o'clock in the morning, the commander of the Second Theater Command began to make arrangements and asked all ministries to release the 48th Independent Brigade.

"The 48th Independent Brigade, the 71st Division and other units defended tenaciously. After inflicting a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet troops, each unit took turns to cover and retreat to deep positions for defense."

After fighting until now, Yan Laoxi feels that his combat goal has been achieved.

Yang Xingru is currently at the Chief's Department, assisting Yan Laoxi in commanding.

"Sir Yan, even the 48th Independent Brigade is unable to withstand this attack. I'm afraid our troops will be even less capable."

In the Jin-Sui Army, Yang Xingru had a very high status and was deeply trusted by Yan Laoxi.

Regardless of whether Chu Yunfei and others are willing to do so, they must go to Kenanpo immediately.

At one o'clock in the morning on January 1, 1941, Chu Yunfei began to call back to the Second Theater Command Commander's Department, stating that the 48th Independent Brigade would carry out the order.

"Our invincible imperial army defeated the elite independent 48th Brigade, 71st Division and other units of the Shanxi-Sui Army in Lancheng and Jingle City."

At the same time, they also promoted the captain of the alliance, Nobutetsu Sakata, and captured the alliance flag of the third alliance.

Chen Ziyun and others did not have any guards following them at all. Now they were nothing more than fat meat on the chopping board and could only be slaughtered by Yan Laoxi.

"In this battle, the Jinsui Army fought with less than 20,000 troops against the Japanese and puppet troops of more than 40,000 troops, and achieved significant results and captured a lot of goods!"

However, Chen Ziyun had made preparations in advance. He arranged for Zhang Wu to command the cavalry battalion and quickly brought back the artillery of the two battalions.

Wei Junru personally sent electricity to Chu Yunfei, Chen Ziyun and others, asking them to direct the troops to move to Zhongtiao Mountain through the Eighth Route Army area.

In addition to the driver, the co-pilot was followed by a captain in the car.

Lancheng and Jingle City were fighting, and Yang Xingru was always paying attention.

It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that both parties became quiet.

The identity of this colonel is not simple. He is Zhang Fengji, the chief of guards around Yan Laoxi, who is responsible for Yan Laoxi's personal security.

"Let them withdraw to Pucheng for rest and replenishment, and at the same time I will reward them heavily."

But as soon as they arrived in Pucheng, the troops had not set up camp yet, so they were taken away.

The 48th Independent Brigade, the 71st Division and other units successively participated in the battle, and also suffered heavy casualties.

Yan Laoxi deployed the 48th Independent Brigade here with many thoughts.

They suggested going to Yan Laoxi, but in the end they went to Wei Junru. If Wei Junru knew about this, the consequences would be obvious.

This general is Yang Xingru, who is Yan Laoxi's right-hand man.

"Although the 48th Independent Brigade bears the designation of the Jinsui Army, they may not be the real Jinsui Army troops."

After Fang Ligong was silent for a while, he looked towards Chu Yunfei and spoke first.

Wei Junru is a subordinate of Principal Du Du, and has always had a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army.

Three cars were ready, and Zhang Fengji made an invitation gesture.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the 48th Independent Brigade held a combat meeting at the brigade headquarters.

Naturally, the 48th Independent Brigade cannot take the railway. They have to march along the Luliang Mountains.

At five o'clock in the morning, when it was still dark, the 48th Independent Brigade set off and headed directly to Pucheng.

The 48th Independent Brigade has just arrived in Pucheng, and the brigade headquarters has not yet been established.

Not long after, Chen Ziyun fell asleep.

This time Yan Laoxi deployed the 48th Independent Brigade in such a location because of many considerations.

Chu Yunfei looked at everyone and said with a serious expression on his face.

"Based on the current situation, if the fight continues, the Seventh Army may suffer heavy losses."

The officers immediately understood what it meant and began to write out their own suggestions.

Yan Laoxi made the arrangements personally, and Chief of Staff Chu Qingbo did not dare to delay and quickly arranged for power generation.

After Chen Ziyun got in the car, he ignored it completely and went to sleep with his eyes closed.

Zhang Fengji did not stop him, but followed Chu Yunfei directly.

A colonel quickly came to Chu Yunfei, holding Yan Laoxi's warrant.

"With our current strength, if we continue to stay here, I'm afraid we will be surrounded and attacked by the Japanese and puppet troops sooner or later."

The commander of the Second War Zone has been generating electricity one after another, asking them to leave immediately and quickly go to Pucheng in southwest Shanxi to rest.

After all, the Jinsui Army currently only occupies some towns in southwestern Shanxi, and the area they control is not very large.

The development of this unit has also received strong support from Wei Junru of the First War Zone.

As Wei Junru's message was sent, Chu Yunfei and others became even more difficult to make a decision.

There were some bumps along the way, but Chen Ziyun slept soundly.

I don’t know how much time passed before Chen Ziyun was woken up by the captain.

Chen Ziyun opened his eyes, and it was pitch black outside.

He started to get out of the car and soon saw Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong.
Chapter completed!
