As we all know, in "Bright Sword", after Chu Yunfei graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, he has been serving in the Jin Sui Army in Yan Xishan, starting from the platoon leader until he was the leader of the 358 regiment. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chu Yunfei, a Huangpu disciple, was deeply worried about President Jiang, so Chu Yunfei was sent to the Lu General Class to study, and after graduation, he was assigned to the 89th Division of the Central Military Department as a division commander and awarded the rank of major general!
From the miscellaneous troops, jumping to the major general division commander of the Central Army," this is not a common thing, Chu Yunfei can also be regarded as bitter, even Li Yunlong was deeply surprised by Chu Yunfei's mobilization. Chu Yunfei's 89th Division is known as the ace of the aces, all American equipment, casually moving, there are aircraft, tanks to support. The other 89th Division belonged to the 5th Army, one of the five main forces of the Nationalist Army, and the 5th Army should have no less than 40,000 horses, according to this calculation, Chu Yunfei's 89th Division should have more than 10,000 people.
At the same time that Chu Yunfei was promoted to division commander, Li Yunlong's independent regiment was expanded into a division, and Li Yunlong was also promoted to division commander. As early as the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were many contradictions between Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong, especially in the later period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the two often conspired and quarreled continuously. With the outbreak of the civil war, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong completely tore their faces, and they did not hesitate to fight each other, and the scale of the battle became bigger and bigger. Especially during the Battle of Huaihai, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei's troops fought a bloody battle in the Zhao zhuang area.
Chu Yunfei was ordered by qiu Qingquan, the commander of the corps, to capture Zhao Zhuang, which was the only place to pass through the Huang Baitao Corps, and if Chu Yunfei attacked here, then the Huang Baitao Corps, which was surrounded by Huaye's main force, would most likely escape. The importance of Zhao Zhuang was self-evident, and in order to block Chu Yunfei's 89th Division, Commander Huaye urgently dispatched Li Yunlong's 2nd Division to hold Zhao Zhuang.
In order to take Zhao Zhuang, Chu Yunfei used almost all modern weapons and equipment, such as the caliber of howitzers, which were larger than one, and even had planes and tanks to cover the attack, not only that, Chu Yunfei also specially formed a death squad. However, Li Yunlong's 2nd Division was not a soft persimmon, and with its amazing combat effectiveness and strong fortifications, Li Yunlong repelled Chu Yunfei's attacks again and again. After holding out for a day and a night, Li Yunlong successfully waited for reinforcements from the commander, that is, 4 artillery regiments. With the other side's reinforcements arriving, chu Yunfei had no point in attacking Zhao Zhuang again, on the contrary, he might even put himself in danger of being surrounded, so Chu Yunfei was forced to order a retreat!
So the question is, after the bloody battle of Zhao Zhuang, how many troops are left in the 89th Division? Chu Yunfei told the truth! First of all, there are two points that need to be explained, first, how many people did the commander's 4 artillery regiments kill Chu Yunfei? On this point, it has been explained in the play that it should be one of the regiments of the 89th Division that was shelled, and even the regimental commander was almost killed under bandages, that is to say, the regiment was estimated to be reimbursed. Second, although Chu Yunfei was ordered to reinforce Huang Baitao's corps, Qiu Qingquan would not let him do his best, because Huang Baitao and Qiu Qingquan had contradictions. In addition, the Yellow Corps was a miscellaneous army, and the Qiu Corps was all of the Concubines, and with this alone, Qiu Qingquan would not let Chu Yunfei fully reinforce.
From the perspective of the above two points, in addition to the one regiment reimbursed, plus a death squad, Chu Yunfei should also have a strong strength. After the Battle of Zhao Zhuang broke out, Chu Yunfei had tried his best to avoid a short handover with Li Yunlong, and he gave full play to his own artillery superiority, coupled with Qiu Qingquan's instructions, so the 89th Division should not have broken his bones. Moreover, when Chu Yunfei ordered the withdrawal of Zhao Zhuang, he also said something like this, "Li Yunlong, whose hand the deer died does not know!" Obviously, from this sentence, it can be seen that Chu Yunfei did not lose many people in Zhao Zhuang, and the main force of the troops is likely to be there!
In summary, after the bloody battle of Zhao Zhuang, the main force of the 89th Division should still be there, and it is estimated that there are at least seven or eight thousand people left!
