Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

"Just study it thoroughly. Let the troops get ready here. Come with me to the headquarters."

Lin Tian patted Fang Zheng's shoulder and said.

Suddenly he had an idea.

In the headquarters.

In the first division headquarters.

The leaders of each group have arrived.

Lin Tian specially gathered them together.

"Everyone, Yandu has been surrounded. The main force of the Japanese has retreated to the east, as well as to several surrounding provinces."

"I have decided to temporarily postpone the attack on Yandu and focus on siege."

"Yandu is an important city. The Japanese will definitely not be willing to be occupied by us. They will definitely send troops to rescue us. Then we will surround them and attack their reinforcements."

"I will report this plan to the headquarters. The Eighth Route Army will allocate 100,000 troops, plus some of our troops, to continue the siege of Yandu."

"All other troops will attack from the east and south to wipe out the main force of the Japanese North China Front Army."

"Then annihilate the subsequent Japanese reinforcements and expand the liberated area to the utmost of our ability."

Lin Tian held a brief military meeting at the headquarters.

Since we cannot launch a large-scale attack on Yandu now, we might as well delay it. The Japs will never surrender until they are at the end of their rope.

After they have annihilated the main force of the Japanese, they will turn back to deal with the Japanese in Yandu.

At that time, even if we fail to persuade them to surrender, there are other ways to minimize the losses.

"It still has to be the commander. This way our strategic goals will be much clearer."

"Commander, this idea is very feasible. I think so too."

Zhou Weiguo grinned.

"Don't flatter me..." Lin Tian pointed at Zhou Weiguo with a smile.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone in the command center laughed heartily.

"Commander, our regiment has requested to attack the main force of the Japanese!"

At this time, Chu Yunfei, who had been silent all the time, saluted solemnly.

"Brother Yunfei, why are you so solemn? We are all comrades, and we don't have so many rules here." Lin Tian hurried forward and pressed down Chu Yunfei's hand.

"No, we can be friends and brothers in private, but we still have to call each other by our titles at work."

"I am a soldier, so I must respect my superiors... respect my chief..."

"You are the commander, so you are naturally my superior. The rules cannot be broken."

Chu Yunfei looked at Lin Tian seriously.

He is a professional soldier, a graduate of the fourth class of Whampoa Military Academy, and has this concept of superiors and subordinates in his bones.

In fact, it's just that people are too straight...

Moreover, he came from the enemy camp halfway, so he needed to be more cautious.

Unlike others, they all followed Lin Tian.

So Chu Yunfei still felt a little bit unable to fit in for a while.

"Well, I just need you to remember that you and I are always brothers, so don't feel any burden in your heart."

"Don't worry, your brother Chu will definitely be able to use his skills this time. After this battle, you will be the commander of the 1st Armored Division of my 1st Division."

Lin Tian held Chu Yunfei's hand and said firmly.

The position of the commander of the armored division was the result of a bet between him and Chu Yunfei.

Now, Chu Yunfei has arrived as promised and joined a division, so Lin Tian must also fulfill his promise.

The commander of the 1st Armored Division must be Chu Yunfei.

This time the incident happened suddenly. When Chu Yunfei joined the first division, Lin Tian was in the rear.

The war started as soon as I came back.

He also didn't have time to reorganize the troops, otherwise Chu Yunfei would have been appointed as the commander of the armored division long ago.

This was also his own negligence. After Chu Yunfei came to the division, he only had 1500 people under his command, all of whom were his former subordinates.

Although it is also a regiment of troops, the number of people is too small compared to other regiments.

Fang Zheng had more than 10,000 people, Zhou Weiguo and Kong Jie had more than 6,000 people.

Zhao Dahai’s machine gun regiment also has more than 3,000 people.

The artillery regiment also has more than 4,000 people.

No wonder Chu Yunfei felt uncomfortable.

Today, Lin Tian is going to solve this problem.

After this battle, the troops will begin to reorganize.

Many people here will become teachers in the future...

"Thank you, Commander..." Chu Yunfei said, holding Lin Tian's hand with emotion.

"Congratulations, Captain Chu."

"What a great event, Old Chu..."

"Hahaha, Commander Chu, from now on your tanks have to cover our charge..."

For a moment, everyone in the command center congratulated.

No one was jealous, this was what Chu Yunfei deserved.

Everyone was happy for Chu Yunfei from the bottom of their hearts.

"I...I thank you all!"

Chu Yunfei was moved by everyone's sincerity and saluted excitedly.

To be honest, he was really worried at the beginning, as he was an outsider and was immediately appointed as the commander of an armored division.

Maybe other people are really not convinced and will slander him and try to trip him up.

Because this is a very common thing in the national army.

Take his previous position as the commander of a reinforced regiment in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, for example. Many people had complaints about him, and there were countless overt and covert criticisms.

But, after another look, he saw the most intimate relationship between people, without intrigue, flattery, or sycophancy.

We are all working towards the same goal.

He was deeply moved by this.

He has been in Division 1 for more than a month, and to be honest, the experience is very good.

Officers and soldiers in the First Division are equal and everyone is a close comrade-in-arms.

He felt very relaxed here, not as upset as he was before in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

It was after this day that Chu Yunfei truly integrated into the larger collective of Division 1.

"Report to the commander, there is an urgent telegram from headquarters!" Suddenly, a radio operator stood up and reported.

Everyone in the command center was stunned. The headquarters had sent an urgent telegram, which was a serious matter. It must be a big event.

“Oh? What’s the matter? Just read it out directly.” Lin Tian asked doubtfully.

The headquarters received an urgent telegram at this time, which might mean that the Japanese had made new moves.

To be honest, Lin Tian is not afraid of anything now. He has liberated so many areas and the supply of the troops has also been resolved.

We are one family, the military and the people. The people in the liberated areas spontaneously gave their food to the Eighth Route Army to thank them for driving away the Japanese invaders and to support subsequent battles.

Moreover, the Japanese warehouses were also opened, and all the food and supplies inside were distributed, along with the logistics supplies for the first division.

There is no problem in providing logistical supplies for an army of 50.

So Lin Tian is not afraid of anything.

"An urgent telegram from headquarters, the Kwantung Army urgently dispatched 100,000 troops to travel south by train to support the Japanese invaders in North China. When the First Division learned of this, it responded quickly." The radio operator read out.

"Kwantung Army?"

"An army of one hundred thousand?"

"Going south by train?"

Hearing this, everyone in the headquarters was shocked. They didn't expect that the Kwantung Army would be dispatched...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Well done!"

"Just when I was worried about the lack of meat and too many wolves, the Japanese came to my doorstep!"

"How come there are only 100,000 troops? The Japs are looking down on us!"

"That's right, who can defeat 100,000 devils..."

A few seconds later, laughter broke out in the command center.

Everyone said that there were fewer devils coming...
