Chapter 172: Renowned and Famous

Nishio Toshizo's plan was shattered.

Terauchi Hisaichi would not agree to withdraw the 10th Division to defend the rear.

Everyone could only hope now that the Sichuan Army was truly as Commander Terauchi Hisaichi had described.

That was, the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army would not launch an attack toward Zhuozhou.

"Gentlemen!"

"After the meeting adjourns, be sure to pay attention to every move on the front line."

"If there are any abnormal issues, report to me immediately."

"I was muddled for a moment, and I hope Brother Chu will not take offense."

When Chu Yunfei of the Jin-Sui Army 356th Regiment learned that Commander Yan was pulling a battalion from his regiment to escort Marshal Liu to the Niangziguan front line.

If the dispatched troops were intercepted by the Republic of China Army halfway.

"The 22nd Group Army is currently a heavy punch, hitting the devils hard enough to make them spit three liters of blood."

"You say that clenching a fist makes it more powerful when retracted and thrown out; that really fits when describing the Sichuan Army."

At the 2nd War Zone headquarters, several people also held a friendly consultation.

Seeing Huang Shaohong pull from his own guard, Yan Laoxi also said he would dispatch a battalion to escort Marshal Liu to the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army headquarters.

After Xiangyue Qingsi received the telegram, his head ached as well.

The Chuan'an Corps' ammunition and provisions were already running low.

Deng Xihou and the others waited for the arrival of Marshal Liu.

"The morale of the military and civilians in my Jin Province is soaring now."

Just like that!

Huang Shaohong's Adjutant Sun Ming and the Guard Company Commander followed Marshal Liu to the 22nd Group Army headquarters.

"Brother Yu, I would like to stay with the Sichuan Army for a while."

Without ammunition and provisions, the Chuan'an Corps had no choice but to stop, even if they wanted to attack.

Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen praised him one after another, saying this was all due to the Marshal's capable leadership.

They had long since received the order that the Marshal's special car would arrive tonight.

After Marshal Liu arrived at the 22nd Group Army headquarters, he laughed heartily.

The Pingjin Area Army meeting adjourned.

Yu Hua grinned: "Hahaha..."

The sun in the sky gradually set, and the curtain of night hung overhead.

The sky grew dim, and the devils' planes returned to the airfield.

Yan Laoxi's initiative to befriend Marshal Liu this time was because he saw the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army strike the devils hard in Jin Province.

"If Commander Huang had committed my 22nd Group Army to Niangziguan one regiment, one brigade, and one division at a time back then."

Kawakishi Bunzaburo sent a telegram to the 1st Army Commander Xiangyue Qingsi, requesting follow-up troops to deliver supplies.

The current combat situation was unfavorable to the Imperial Army; it was best to focus on defense.

"Jinkang, De Cao!"

"Calling me Regimental Commander Chu still makes it seem like there is distance between us."

"We've met before; do you still have an impression of it?"

"We will definitely hold our posts."

Marshal Liu dared not head directly to the Niangziguan front line during the day.

Yan Laoxi and Marshal Liu also discussed for a while, and both exchanged views on the future direction of the war.

At most, in one week, the fighting on the Songhu Battlefield would end.

To actually make his corps stop attacking and focus on defense was simply an insult to the prestige of the Imperial Army.

"Please rest assured, Commander."

Kawakishi Bunzaburo did not yet know the news that the Pingjin Area Army was weak in strength.

"I do!"

Chu Yunfei... how could Yu Hua not have an impression of him? This was also a famous character in "Drawing Sword".

Just as Sun Ming and Yu Hua were chatting happily, Chu Yunfei interjected: "Brother Yu Hua!"

The meeting was terminated.

"You fought well in Jin Province; my Sichuan Army has finally held its head high in front of our countrymen."

He sent a telegram to Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen, stating that he would arrive at the front line at dusk.

In the direction of Niangziguan, the Chuan'an Corps should not be in a hurry to attack.

"Brother, you are truly impressive; you are the most formidable Captain I have ever met."

Upon learning that Marshal Liu had arrived, Huang Shaohong also took the initiative to come and see him.

He volunteered to pull a company from his own guard to help escort Marshal Liu.

However... he was from the 5th Class of Whampoa, a good student of Principal Chang, and furthermore, Du Yuming and Chu Yunfei had a slight connection.

The devil officers stood up one after another, bowing and scraping as they said: "Hai!"

These Sichuan Army soldiers immediately reported to the 22nd Group Army headquarters that they had discovered the Marshal's motorcade.

On the road to the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army headquarters at night, cars roared by one after another.

"You Sichuan Army soldiers are really amazing; entering Jin Province, you have won battle after battle!"

Regarding this order, Kawakishi Bunzaburo felt he did not want to obey it.

The 1st Army Commander Xiangyue Qingsi sent a telegram to the Chuan'an Corps.

Isn't this aiding the enemy?!

Therefore, Xiangyue Qingsi had no choice but to ask how much longer the Chuan'an Corps' supplies could last.

Kawakishi Bunzaburo replied by telegram that they could hold out for one more week.

Because the Sichuan Army was strong and could block the devils' edge in Jin Province, Yan Laoxi took the initiative to befriend Liu Dashuai.

"Good food is worth the wait."

However, after receiving reports from subordinates, the troops in the direction of Zhuozhou had not sent supplies in time.

"Prepare to observe and learn a bit, to see how the Sichuan Army fights."

Sun Ming nodded: "Not bad!"

This would have to wait until the end of the Songhu Campaign for the Pingjin Area Army's strength to be replenished.

The generals of the 22nd Group Army exchanged pleasantries with the personnel accompanying Liu Dashuai for a while.

Xiangyue Qingsi knew very well that once the 10th Army landed at Wanzhouhang, the Republic of China Army on the Songhu Battlefield would definitely not be able to hold on.

"Brother Yu!"

Annihilating a large number of little devils caused the pressure on the Jin-Sui Army under his command to drop sharply.

One week, for Xiangyue Qingsi, was already enough.

He also hoped that the Sichuan Army would join the Jin-Sui Army to resist the devils' offensive, thereby protecting his own lair... Jinyang.

Yu Hua indicated there was no problem: "Brother Chu, you can rest assured."

After receiving Xiangyue Qingsi's reply, Kawakishi Bunzaburo had no choice but to drop the matter.

The vehicle headlights illuminated the highway, appearing very dazzling in the night sky.

He told Kawakishi Bunzaburo to conserve ammunition; currently, the Pingjin Area Army lacked sufficient strength and could not spare troops to transport supplies.

"At the time, he actually dared to talk back to the Deputy Commander of the 2nd War Zone."

"There absolutely wouldn't have been such a great battle result."

In the 1st War Zone, at the headquarters of the Sichuan Army 22nd Group Army.

After Kawakishi Bunzaburo received this telegram, he was so angry his nose was about to smoke.

People of the new era all know Chu Yunfei, courtesy name Fengxian, sometimes also referred to as Lv Yunfei.

"Regimental Commander Chu, at the Yellow River Ferry, the two of us even fought the devils' airplanes together."

Currently, the strength in Zhuozhou was already low; it was simply impossible to send supplies to the Chuan'an Corps.

"You can stay as long as you like, as long as you don't mind the food of my Sichuan Army?"

Hearing this, Yu Hua feigned patting his own head: "Brother Chu, look at this head of mine."

Honestly obeying orders, the two divisions of troops were stationed in the direction of Niangziguan and did not take the initiative to provoke the Republic of China Army.

As for the troops that came to escort Liu Dashuai, Yu Hua took a look and discovered an acquaintance.

"During this period, I will still have to trouble Brother Yu."

Because the devils' airplanes had been carpet-bombing the Niangziguan line during the day.

Seeing Yu Hua call him Chu Yunfei, he grinned and said: "Brother Yu, you aren't being a good friend here."

He took the initiative to volunteer, and Yan Laoxi also agreed.

When Huang Shaohong learned that the Sichuan Army had only left two companies of troops in Jinyang to escort Liu Dashuai to the 22nd Group Army headquarters.

Chu Yunfei was a character; Yu Hua felt that if this kid could join the Sichuan Army to fight the devils, it would be even better.

Inside this group were not only Huang Shaohong's Adjutant, but also the Regimental Commander of the Jin-Sui Army 356th Regiment.

Liu Dashuai is coming to Jinyang!

This talk lasted for one or two hours, and in the end, Liu Dashuai used the excuse of needing to head to the 22nd Group Army.

Chu Yunfei waved his hand, "It's no bother!"

Deng Xihou and the others hurried to welcome them.

The Sichuan Army's security troops soon discovered the motorcade.

"Brother Sun, look, I told you last time."

After Sun Ming saw Yu Hua, he took the initiative to step forward and greet him.

It is estimated that this guy is single-mindedly determined to listen to Principal Chang.

After all, Principal Chang can remember his Whampoa Clique students very clearly.
