Volume 1 Chapter 006 Reward
The communicator quickly replied.
"The 358th Regiment of the Sixth Army of the Second War Zone of China, the commander is Chu Yunfei!"
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka turned his head and looked at Major General Miyano, the Chief of Staff of the Military Department. "Chu Yunfei? Do you have detailed information about this person?"
Major General Miyano nodded and said, "Yes! Chu Yunfei, from Wutai Mountain, Shanxi. Graduated from the fifth term !"
In order to invade China, Japan spent a lot of effort to investigate detailed information about China.
The Japanese army had maps of almost all of China, and their maps were even more detailed and accurate than those of the Republic of China government.
In addition to detailed and accurate maps, all important people in China are registered in Japanese intelligence agencies.
Especially among the military and political leaders of the Nationalist Government, which was full of loopholes, I am afraid they even knew .
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka shouted, "Send me his detailed information!"
"yes!"
"Chu Yunfei!" Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka whispered the name, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The Communist army is difficult enough to deal with.
If the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were to rise, it would be terrible!
This Chu Yunfei must die!
Lieutenant General Yoshio Yuzuka shouted, "Notify the Intelligence Department to gather all the information about the base of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"
"Yes!" Major General Miyano turned around and walked out to organize the information, and at the same time ordered the intelligence department to collect information on the 358th Regiment.
The Shanxi North China Expeditionary Force's First Army has already regarded the 358th Regiment and Chu Yunfei as a serious threat!
After returning to the regiment headquarters, Fang Ligong drafted a telegram reporting the victory to Commander Yan in the Second World War Zone.
"At 3:30 pm, our troops wiped out the main force of the enemy's Sakata Regiment at Cangyun Ridge. The statistics are as follows. We wiped out more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, killed Colonel Sakata Nobutsu, seized a regiment battle flag, and a colonel's sword!"
Kenanpo, Ji County, Shanxi Province.
After the fall of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Second War Zone was moved to Qiulin County, Shaanxi.
But Yan Xishan was not at ease staying in Shaanxi, the Communist Party’s territory.
After two years of preparation, the Second War Zone Headquarters moved to Kenanpo, Ji County, Shanxi in 1940.
Kenanpo is a loess hilltop where originally six families lived.
This hilltop is composed of five ridges running parallel from west to east and sloping from north to south. Each ridge has an alluvial plain where crops or peach trees are planted.
Later, Yan Xishan designated this place as a camp and started construction. After more than two years of construction, he finally turned this tiny place into a large mountaintop city with stacked cave dwellings that could accommodate more than 20,000 people. It became an important military town in the Second War Zone and the political, economic, and cultural center of Shaanxi Province.
Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the 6th Army Group Yang Aiyuan was stunned for a moment after receiving the telegram.
He simply couldn't believe his eyes.
He didn't believe that the 358th Regiment could defeat an entire Japanese regiment by itself.
The first thought that popped into his mind was that this was a false report of military intelligence.
But when he saw that the 358th Regiment killed Colonel Sakata and seized the regiment's flag.
Now he no longer doubted the battle results of the 358th Regiment!
How many devils were killed?
This kind of battle report is always exaggerated.
However, Colonel Sakata was killed and the battle flag was seized.
This is absolutely impossible to fake!
This time, Yang Aiyuen was really sure that the 358th Regiment had really destroyed the Sakata Regiment.
A regiment actually wiped out an entire squadron!
this……
He hurried to the Second War Zone Headquarters.
"What did you say?"
Yan Xishan, commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, seemed to have not heard it clearly and actually couldn't believe it.
He stared at his henchman with wide eyes and asked again.
Yang Aiyuan immediately repeated: "Commander-in-chief, our 358th Regiment annihilated the Japanese Sakata Regiment and killed Colonel Sakata!"
"Sakata Regiment?" Yan Xishan murmured twice, and when he thought of the information about the Sakata Regiment, he suddenly raised his voice happily.
"Great! They actually wiped out an entire regiment of the Japanese, and it was the Sakata regiment! It's really amazing!"
The theater commander, chief of staff and confidential secretary nearby also looked excited.
Yan Xishan thought for a moment, then ordered Yang Aiyuan: "Inform the entire army immediately. No! Inform the entire country!"
Yang Aiyuan responded in a low voice: "Commander-in-Chief, the telegram also wrote that in order to destroy the Sakata Regiment, the 358th Regiment suffered heavy casualties , and most importantly, the ammunition was almost exhausted. I hope we can resupply it in time!"
"The commander of the 358th Regiment is Chu Yunfei, right?" Yan Xishan said thoughtfully, "I have an impression of this person. Is he from Shanxi?"
Yang Aiyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, it's Chu Yunfei. He's from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi!"
Fellow Shanxi natives!
We need to win over this talented person!
"Hmm..." Yan Xishan groaned for a moment, then turned to Yang Aiyuan and said, "The 358th Regiment is the main force of our army. This time they killed another Japanese regiment. They have made a great contribution. I will reward Chu Yunfei with 5,000 silver dollars and supply him with the ammunition he needs!"
"Yes! Commander!" Yang Aiyuen turned around to deal with the matter.
…
Chongqing, the wartime capital.
At 6:15 in the evening, it was already dark.
Japanese fighter planes would no longer bomb Chongqing.
Nanjing fell and Wuhan fell.
Can Chongqing still be defended?
The president was also unsure.
In order to defend Chongqing, the main forces of the National Army gathered in Guilin, Changsha and Changde, and almost all the central troops were mobilized.
If all these are gone.
I'm afraid Chongqing is not far from falling.
By then, China might really be destroyed!
The president was thinking about something when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
"President, this is the message the attendant's office just received, sent back from the front line by the Second War Zone!"
Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard a hint of joy in the voice of Lin Wei, the director of the first department of the attendant room.
He immediately turned around and took the phone from Lin Wei. When he saw it, he was overjoyed and cheered.
The CEO said in Ningbo Fenghua accent: "Lin Wei, go check right away to see who this Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment is?"
Lin Weilai had already found out everything before.
He smiled and said, "CEO, this Chu Yunfei graduated from the fifth term of Huangpu Military Academy and is your student!"
Although the Whampoa Military Academy has trained more than a dozen classes of students, only the graduates of the first five classes would call themselves the principal in front of them and regard them as their favorite students. Only then would they be qualified to join the Whampoa faction of the Kuomintang!
Hearing that Chu Yunfei was a student of the fifth term of Whampoa Military Academy, the president immediately smiled and said, "Great! Great! Immediately send a telegram to the whole party, the whole army, and the whole country to commend him. The Second War Zone launched an active offensive, killed the Japanese invader Colonel Sakata, and dealt a heavy blow to the enemy! The whole party is excited! The whole army is excited! The whole country is excited! We must commend him! Um... a reward of 20,000 silver dollars! Tell Chu Yunfei that he did a good job. I, as the principal, am very pleased!"
It’s no wonder that the president is so excited, it’s because the party and the country need this good news so much!
The Chinese people really need this exciting good news!
The good news that the 358th Regiment eliminated the Sakata Regiment came at the right time.
Although it was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, it was also considered part of our army, not to mention that the commander was a student of the fifth term of the Whampoa Military Academy.
As long as you put in some effort, it shouldn't be a problem to win over Chu Yunfei.
Lin Wei knew that the president always liked to bribe people with money.
This time he was thinking of using money to bribe Chu Yunfei!
"Yes!" Lin Wei echoed.
At the president's order, newspapers still under the control of the Nationalist government immediately reported the event with all their might.
Almost the entire Chinese land received the broadcast of Chongqing Central News Agency. For a time, Chu Yunfei's name resounded throughout the country!
…
Although his fame spread far and wide, Chu Yunfei was in no mood to care about it at all.
He has a headache!
It’s such a headache!
A very, very big headache!
