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

Just when all the troops were making good progress, Chu Feng also left Ying County with the front-line command and moved to Daluigou.

"Commander!"

Seeing Chu Feng coming, the Third Regiment Commander Li Hougu, the Fourth Regiment Commander Luo Yuanlang, and the 1st Artillery Regiment Gao Changfa and others hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng saluted in return and walked towards the temporary command post, asking, "What's the situation? Where are the Japanese and puppet troops? Is the army ready?"

Hearing Chu Feng's three fatal questions.

The commander of the Fourth Regiment, Luo Yuanlang, hurriedly said, "Division Commander, our First Battalion is responsible for blocking and slowing down the Japanese and puppet troops. At this time, according to their speed, it will take them between noon and 1 p.m. to reach Daluigou."

"Because the Second Regiment launched a feint attack in Ying County, and our troops blocked it, the Japanese and puppet troops had no suspicions. In addition, they were moving south along the Tongpu Railway, and there was no place to hide troops or launch an ambush."

"So this Japanese and puppet army did not doubt or retreat, but continued to attack southward."

At this point, the Fourth Regiment Commander, Luo Yuanlang, paused and continued, "The troops are ready and have formed an encirclement. Once the Japanese and puppet troops arrive and engage in battle with our Fourth Regiment, the Third Regiment will encircle them from the left, right, and rear, blocking their escape routes."

"At the same time, we have integrated the two artillery battalions of the 3rd and 4th Regiments, as well as the two battalions of the 1st Artillery Regiment, and the artillery positions have been completed."

Hearing Luo Yuanlang's answer, Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right, send a telegram to your first battalion and ask them to continue attacking at the current pace. We are not in a hurry."

Little David was still on the way, so Chu Feng was not in a hurry to turn around and go back to attack Ying County. Even if it was tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, it would not be too late to take Ying County. With Little David's cooperation, it would be more convenient and simple to attack Ying County.

It takes time to transport supplies, and it will take at least two days for the first batch of supplies to arrive.

He has plenty of time and is in no rush.

"Yes, Commander!"

The fourth regiment commander, Luo Yuanlang, immediately nodded in response.

At twelve o'clock, the Japanese and puppet troops led by Chu Feng did not come, but received good news from Ge Dayong and the commander of the fifth regiment, Gao Dagu.

That's right!

This kid Gao Dagu, with the fifth regiment of people, directly captured Dai County.

Moreover, this guy was still not satisfied and asked Chu Feng for permission to continue southward and attack along the Tongpu Railway, wanting to attack Yuanping.

"Send a telegram to Gao Dagu. What I want is safety, not the county seat. Tell him to keep it for me and not to enlarge any Japanese and puppet troops in the original direction."

Faced with Gao Dagu's fighting spirit, Chu Feng had to send a telegram to reprimand him.

Chu Feng captured five counties in northwest Shanxi and surrounded Ying County. General Terauchi Hisaichi was somewhat confused when he received the news.

Although he guessed that Chu Feng would attack Yingxian, Yanggao and Tianzhen counties, he did not expect that Chu Feng would attack five more counties.

However, looking at the battle map, when he saw Shenfu County in Sanqin Province, which was across the Yellow River from Pianguan County, he immediately understood that Chu Feng was building a transportation channel to deliver supplies.

"idiot!!!"

After knowing Chu Feng's other plan, General Terauchi Shouichi was very angry, but he had no way to deal with it.

Seventy to eighty percent of his own air force had just been destroyed. Not to mention retaliatory bombing, if he dared to make any move, he would probably lose the last bit of air force.

For the sake of his own few remaining troops, General Terauchi Hisaichi ordered these planes to be transferred directly to the Central China Front Army to avoid the limelight.

The air force cannot be relied upon, let alone the army.

The troops stationed in Mongolia have been tied up. As for the First Army stationed in Shanxi Province, they can only withdraw more than 10,000 people, but these more than 10,000 people pose no threat to Chu Feng.

In the end, they could only send a telegram to the commander of the First Army, Kozuki Seiji, asking him to ensure the defense of the Yuanping and Xinzhou lines, as well as the safety of the Tongpu Railway.

As for the counties that were captured, General Terauchi Hisaichi chose to ignore them.

"Major General, the division commander sent a telegram!"

At the same time, among the Japanese and puppet troops supporting Ying County, a young Japanese second lieutenant excitedly handed a telegram to the major general leading the team.

"Nani?"

The Japanese major general was a little surprised when he heard this. He reached out and took it and took a look, and found that this telegram was actually forwarded by the division commander to General Terauchi Hisaichi.

The content was to let him pay attention to safety, and if things became impossible, he should ignore Ying County and immediately retreat to Yungang City.

"Order the troops to be alert!"

Looking at the proposals of the division commander and General Terauchi Hisaichi, as well as their fear of Chu Feng, the Japanese major general also became much more serious.

Time passed little by little, and it was already 1:30 in the afternoon!

Thanks to the slow blocking of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment, 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops finally arrived at Daluigou.

"Major General, we have discovered the Chinese blocking position."

The Japanese major battalion commander who was leading the way in front ran back quickly and reported loudly.

"Nani?"

Upon hearing the news, the Japanese major general was stunned for a moment, then walked forward quickly, and began to observe with a telescope, and saw the defensive position built by the Fourth Regiment.

"well!"

After observing for half a minute, the Japanese major general couldn't help but say: "It seems that this should be one of the main forces of the Chinese Chu Feng's army."

"There are more than 3,000 people." As he said this, his eyes swept around.

This is an open area, with mountains on both sides, at least eight or nine kilometers away from them.

This terrain does not allow for the construction of an ambush position, so there is no possibility of being ambushed.

"Give me the order!"

Feeling relieved, the Japanese Major General felt that there was no threat and gave the order directly: "Order the 12th Regiment, with the cooperation of the artillery battalion, to launch an attack on the Chinese troops!"

With the order from the Japanese major general, the Japanese troops began to move.

At the same time, Chu Feng also issued an attack order in the temporary command center: "Order the artillery to launch a wave of covering artillery bombardment on the enemy in front in three minutes. Don't save the shells, bomb them to death!"

"After the artillery fire begins, the Third Regiment will immediately attack to block the Japanese and puppet troops' retreat, but don't rush to attack."

"Send another telegram to the flight base and ask them to send bombers to cooperate with us in the battle."

Following Chu Feng's order, the artillery group consisting of four artillery battalions immediately became busy, and this semi-encirclement and annihilation battle was about to break out!
