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

Losing more than half of the injured troops at once, and they were all main forces, caused serious damage to Lieutenant General Jun Hougong's 26th Division, which was full of regret.

When the telegram was delivered to the North China Front Army Headquarters, General Terauchi Hisaichi also had a very ugly expression on his face.

After all, it was he who gave the order to provide support, and if things were to be investigated, he would be to blame. At this time, General Terauchi Hisaichi also reacted.

His order was so ignorant. Although Yungang County was not far from Ying County, supporting Ying County was no problem. But Chu Feng had already started to attack the surrounding counties, and he was just rushing to deliver food to Chu Feng.

As a last resort, General Terauchi Hisaichi had to personally call to appease Lieutenant General Jun of the Harem.

"Don't worry, the 26th Division is the main force of our Mongolian Army. The stability of the Mongolian region depends entirely on the Mongolian Army."

"A batch of reinforcements will arrive soon. I'll prioritize the 26th Division."

"During this period of time, you must defend Yungang City to the death. You can also temporarily abandon counties like Huairen and move all your troops into Yungang City."

What General Jun of the harem wanted was General Terauchi Hisaichi's statement. He also knew very well that the crying child gets the milk, and he had to cry when he should, otherwise he would have to cry.

After comforting Lieutenant General Jun Harumiya, General Terauchi Hisaichi stood alone in front of the map for an hour.

An hour later, telegrams came flying out.

First, order the First Army to defend Yuanping County and not attack without orders.

Secondly, he ordered the troops stationed in Mongolia to guard Yungang City, and at the same time ordered the troops in the direction of Suiyuan Province to be on guard, but not to take the initiative to advance towards Pianguan County.

Then he ordered Yanggao and Tianzhen counties to continue digging trenches, building fortifications, and seizing every opportunity to improve their defense capabilities.

Finally, a telegram was sent to the domestic headquarters to inform them of the incident, and then they asked the military for money, weapons, equipment, and personnel.

After doing all this, General Terauchi Hisaichi looked at Ying County on the map.

"Hopefully, the Ying County defenders can hold out longer and use their own defenses to inflict maximum casualties on Chu Feng's forces."

General Terauchi Hisaichi had already given up Ying County and it had become his discarded pawn.

The Japanese and puppet troops in Huairen County quickly evacuated and returned to Yungang City, and the news was passed back.

"Luo Yuanlang, you take the Fourth Regiment and build a defensive position with Huairen County as the core."

"I'll have someone provide you with supplies and build more fixed firing points and permanent fortifications, turning this defensive position into the northwest gate of our Jincha Special District."

Faced with the Japanese's initiative to surrender, Chu Feng did not hesitate. Since the Japanese gave up the county town, he had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, after the recovery of Ying County, the Tongpu Railway was basically cut off.

Chu Feng did not want the Japanese to control the Tongpu Railway transportation channel, and in order to increase the depth of defense, he planned to make Huairen County the first line of conflict between himself and the Japanese and puppet troops in Yungang.

At the same time, Shuozhou County was also included in the scope of his own Jin-Cha Special District. Like Huairen, Shuozhou and Ying County would become the frontline positions facing the Japanese First Army in the south.

By then, the entire northern Shanxi basin would be included in Chu Feng's sphere of influence. With the Eighth Route Army's Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region at its back and the Eighth Route Army's Jin-Northwest Military Region on its left, it cut off the connection between the Mongolian Army and the First Army stationed in Shanxi Province.

Especially the Tongpu Railway, which is one of the two major arteries into Shanxi. After it was cut off, only the Zhengtai Railway in the south remained. The Japanese 1st Army in Shanxi Province would definitely have a hard time.

"Yes, Commander!"

The fourth regiment commander, Luo Yuanlang, didn't waste any words and immediately saluted to show that he understood.

The Fourth Regiment was also very familiar with this matter. In the past few months, apart from training, they had been digging trenches and building fortifications.

After cleaning up the battlefield, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Two hours ago, the Fourth Regiment had set out, occupied Huairen County, and quickly occupied the surrounding traffic arteries, and began to dig trenches with great effort.

In the evening, people brought a large amount of supplies, and fellow villagers were mobilized to come and help.

At this time, Chu Feng also returned to Ying County with the 3rd Regiment and two battalions of the 1st Artillery Regiment.

The captured materials were sent back to Yuan County, while the prisoners were sent directly to Huairen County, where they were formed into a prisoner-of-war camp to do hard labor and reform.

"Master!"

Seeing Chu Feng coming back, Zeng Erniu, the second regiment commander in charge of the feint attack on Ying County, saluted Chu Feng.

"how is the situation?"

Looking at the second battalion commander Zeng Erniu, Chu Feng asked with a smile.

"The Japanese have built quite a few fortifications. We have launched five feint attacks from this morning until just now."

"With our firepower, we destroyed some of the Japanese and puppet troops' firing points, but some fixed firing points were too thick, and our 155 heavy artillery had no effect on these fortifications."

"To avoid causing excessive casualties, each attack will be a tentative one, with firepower as the main focus."

At this point, Second Regiment Commander Zeng Erniu changed the subject and said, "However, although it was a feint, we still managed to blow down the East City Gate, leaving a gap of about ten meters."

"From this, we can see that the Japanese have indeed put in a lot of effort and built many firepower points, but the walls of Ying County are all made of brick and earth. As long as we can break through those newly built fixed firepower points, taking Ying County will not be a problem."

At this point, the Second Regiment Commander Zeng Erniu's face showed a trace of worry. He said, "Division Commander, these newly built fixed firepower points are as strong as iron. They are a tough nut to crack. Our artillery is too weak to blow them open!"

Hearing Zeng Erniu's answer, Chu Feng smiled, and smiled happily.

Obviously, Zeng Erniu's answer made him very satisfied.

It also shows from the side that the team leaders under his command are gradually maturing.

Chu Feng issued the feint attack order in the morning. If Zeng Erniu was just feinting to cooperate with him in the battle and could not provide any useful intelligence when he came back, Chu Feng would not blame him, but he was still very disappointed.

Because many times, giving orders is one thing, and following orders is another, but as a commander, he still needs to have some foresight and initiative.

You can't just act according to combat orders and do whatever you are told.

Zeng Erniu obviously completed not only the task assigned by Chu Feng but also his test very well. He couldn't help but think, "Not bad, Erniu has grown up. He should have no problem being a brigade commander."

Just as Chu Feng was about to say something, a combat staff officer came over quickly and said, "Report to the division commander, Director Li said that a batch of super-large caliber mortars have arrived in Yuan County."

Upon hearing the combat staff's words, Chu Feng's eyes lit up: "Here comes my siege weapon!"
