Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

"Great, this batch of heavy artillery is finally coming!"

"Our artillery can't wait any longer. The two heavy artillery commanders ask me every day when the heavy artillery will arrive."

"Don't even mention them being anxious. I'm anxious and looking forward to it myself." Having said that, he immediately said, "Let Dayong and Tiezhu come back!"

"With such a large-scale arrival of supplies, we must personally dispatch forces to open a safe passage."

Chu Feng's happiness was not fake, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Although the 1st Independent Division had two artillery regiments, it only had 12 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 150 mm.

Chu Feng also wanted to see the spectacular scene of dust flying all over the sky when more than a hundred 150mm heavy artillery roared at the same time.

Originally, Chu Feng and others discussed ordering only 50 152mm heavy cannons, but with the arrival of the 100 million ruble interest-free loan from the Bear Country, they discussed adding another 50 cannons, making a total of 100 cannons.

Coupled with the 200 105mm heavy artillery pieces, these 300 heavy artillery pieces and 1500 rounds of ammunition for each gun cost Chu Feng a total of 8 million US dollars.

The biggest expense was artillery shells, and 300 artillery pieces cost only $1.3 million.

"Okay, Commander!"

Li Mingqiang smiled happily when he heard this, nodded immediately, and waved to a combat staff officer and said a few words of blessing. The combat staff officer went to inform Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu.

"Commander, with so much supplies coming back, I'm afraid it will take a while to transport them!"

Although he was very happy about the return of the supplies, Li Mingqiang couldn't help but feel a little worried: "I'm worried that the Japanese will harass us while we are transporting them."

"hehe!"

Hearing Li Mingqiang's words, Chu Feng sneered and said, "Harassment? Are we afraid of harassment?"

"After more than two months of training, the troops have been clamoring to fight the Japanese. I'm just hoping they'll launch a massive sweep."

"If it weren't for this batch of supplies, I would have launched an attack on Yingxian, Yanggao, and Tianzhen counties long ago."

"I'm putting my words here. If the Japs dare to come, we'll keep them all here!"

When Chu Feng said this, Li Mingqiang was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, laughed at himself, and said, "Look at me, I always think that the Japanese are very powerful, but I forget that our Independent 1st Division is not weak either."

At this point, Li Mingqiang looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Commander, should we mobilize the entire division?"

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly upon hearing this and said confidently, "The entire division will be dispatched. As for the defense of the various passes, it will be handed over to the four county garrison regiments. At the same time, the armored infantry brigade, two cavalry regiments, and the 2nd Artillery Regiment will serve as the general reserve. If the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops make any moves, they will provide support."

Soon, Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu came back.

At the division headquarters, the four of them sat together. Chu Feng didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. He said, "Fifth Uncle sent back news that our six heavy artillery regiments, along with a large amount of weapons, ammunition, and supplies, have already set out from Jincheng in the northwest."

"Three days later, the first batch of six heavy artillery regiments arrived first."

"Because there are so many supplies, we need to go to the Yellow River in person to meet them. Except for the Armored Infantry Brigade and the Second Artillery Regiment who will remain behind, all the troops of the 1st Independent Division will set out to open a channel from Yuan County to the Yellow River to transport supplies."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Old Li just told me that the railway from Yuan County to Ying County is almost complete, and it is only 10 kilometers away from Ying County."

"Because the journey is not short, it needs to pass through Yingxian, Shanyin County, Pinglu, and Pianguan, which will cut off the Tongpu Railway for about ten to 15 days."

After listening to Chu Feng's words, the expressions of the other three people became serious.

Maintaining such a long transportation channel is not an easy task. The Japanese will definitely not give it up so easily and will definitely give some reaction.

Looking at the expressions of his partners, Chu Feng's voice rang out again: "In order to ensure the safety of transportation, we need to capture all the counties along the way, including Ying County, Shanyin County, Pinglu, and Pianguan, within three days."

"Moreover, once the supplies are delivered back, the troops will continue to fight."

"We are strong enough now. It's time to take back the remaining three counties in the Jincha Special District." More than three months have passed since the six months given by the system.

Chu Feng was not going to wait any longer, as he was really greedy for the large power plant and medium-sized pharmaceutical factory.

There is no need to ask about the power plant. This thing is related to the development of industry. With this power plant, we don’t need to worry about electricity within two years.

Pharmaceutical factories are also important. Penicillin has been discovered. Once a pharmaceutical factory is obtained, it can produce penicillin.

Whether this thing is used by oneself or sold to others, it is a machine that can print money continuously. After the outbreak of World War II, it will be Chu Feng's weapon to reap the wealth of the world.

“Good guy!!!”

Upon hearing Chu Feng's plan, Li Mingqiang felt that Chu Feng was being generous, but Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu became excited.

This was no small matter. They had full sight of the Japanese's actions in Tianzhen and Yanggao counties.

At this time, the Japanese had built a large number of fortifications and trenches in Yanggao and Tianzhen counties. There was no one in the county towns, and they were all stationed with Japanese and puppet troops. It can be said that they were developing into fortresses.

The number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the two county towns reached more than 30,000, of which more than 10,000 were Japanese devils.

The 1st Independent Division had fought so many battles, including many ambushes and annihilation battles, but this was its first time fighting a decisive battle.

The reason they didn't take action was because of the lack of heavy firepower. If they had forced a fight, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.

But once this batch of heavy artillery arrives, the situation will improve.

"Commander, give the order!"

Excited, Ge Dayong and Wang Tiezhu spoke at the same time.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly after hearing this, then looked at Wang Tiezhu and said, "Tiezhu, you will take our combat staff and senior staff to formulate a combat plan immediately."

"Let's proceed with the first step first. After the supplies come back, we'll formulate a second-step battle plan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiezhu immediately stood up and shouted, "Yes, Commander!"

Next, everyone started to get busy.

Chu Feng was in charge of the division headquarters, and Ge Dayong was responsible for conveying orders, asking the five main infantry regiments of the Independent 1st Division, the engineering regiment, the guard regiment, the 1st Artillery Regiment, the 3rd Artillery Regiment, and the chemical defense battalion to quickly gather in the direction of Ying County.

Li Mingqiang commanded the baggage brigade and a large number of new recruits to start delivering supplies to each regiment. At the same time, he mobilized all the vehicles, maintenance units and field troops that could be mobilized to provide logistical support and the upcoming supply delivery mission.
