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

"Commander, invite the foreigners to come and watch?"

After hearing Chu Feng's words, not only Li Mingqiang was stunned, but others were also a little confused.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded when he heard this, saying, "Don't we have 12 giant cannons? After this battle, this kind of cannon will be useless."

"Let these foreign devils watch the battle and see the power of our cannons."

"For the foreigners, their country's fortifications are very complete, and they have a demand for super-large-caliber artillery. I thought of using an actual battle to sell our artillery."

"We sell one gun for $3 million. If we sell half of that, that's $18 million. That's enough to buy 200 150mm heavy guns and the corresponding ammunition."

"For us, leaving behind two of the super-large caliber cannons is enough."

"Selling ten guns would be $3000 million, and we could buy back several heavy artillery production lines."

After hearing Chu Feng's explanation and ideas, everyone who was a little confused at first suddenly understood.

"Oh, don't tell me, if that's the case, this deal is really worth it!"

"That's right, that's right. If we keep these huge cannons, they will just sit there gathering dust. It would be better to exchange them for money."

"Thirty million dollars, you can do anything with it. It's not a small amount of money!"

"..."

When everyone had finished talking, Chu Feng clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and said, "Next, let the Chief of Staff tell everyone about the next battle plan."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone sat up straight, their eyes full of anticipation.

The previous attack on the county town was just a small-scale battle for them. Although they eliminated many Japanese and puppet troops, it was not difficult at all.

Yanggao County and Tianzhen County are different. These are two really tough nuts to crack.

The Japanese once again provided support to Yanggao County and Tianzhen County. At this time, the total number of Japanese and puppet troops in the two counties was nearly 60,000.

This does not include the fact that the Japanese and puppet troops can continue to provide reinforcements if necessary.

In addition, the walls of the two county towns were reinforced, and a large number of permanent fortifications were built inside and outside the city, making it a completely fortified county town.

No unit of the 1st Independent Division wants to miss this battle.

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu approached the battle map, baton in hand, and announced, "Because the main force has withdrawn, to protect the counties we've recovered, four garrison regiments, a guard regiment, and a reconnaissance regiment will be stationed in Wei County, Huairen County, Dai County, Shuozhou County, Shanyin County, and Xiyu Town."

"Responsible for guarding and preventing Japanese and puppet troops from Yungang, Suiyuan, Dayuan, and the eastern Hebei Province."

"The Armored Infantry Brigade, the Third Artillery Regiment, and two Cavalry Regiments will serve as the general reserve, stationed in Yuanxian and Guangxian counties, ready to support the other counties at any time. The Eighth Route Army will also provide us with support and assistance."

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu paused and continued, "The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments, the Engineer Regiment, the 1st Artillery Regiment, and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Regiment are responsible for attacking Yanggao County. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th Regiments, the 2nd Artillery Regiment, and the 1st Heavy Artillery Regiment are responsible for attacking Tianzhen County."

"The artillery regiment split into two, heading to Yanggao and Tianzhen counties respectively to establish defensive positions."

"The Supply Brigade and the New Recruit Unit are responsible for the logistics support of the entire army."

After hearing Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu's words, some of the regiment commanders and brigade commanders who were named smiled happily, while others were somewhat silent.

For example, the reconnaissance regiment, the guard regiment, and the 3rd artillery regiment were the real main forces, but they did not get the opportunity to attack Yanggao County and Tianzhen County.

But the reconnaissance regiment and the guard regiment are light infantry regiments, and the 3rd Artillery Regiment is a 75mm light grenade regiment. In such a battle, they really have no room to play.

After assigning the general combat tasks, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu went on to talk about the specific combat tasks and combat directions of each regiment.

After Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, Chu Feng looked at the excited crowd, the smile on his face slightly restrained, and said: "Although we have a cannon that can smash the Japanese turtle shell, it does not mean that we can successfully eliminate them."

"Don't forget, these are nearly 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops."

"Moreover, we are fighting alone, but the Japanese are different. Not only do they have troops stationed in Mongolia, but they also have Japanese and puppet troops in Shanxi and Hebei provinces, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung troops stationed in the Northeast."

"Once we take action, I don't believe the Japanese will watch it this way."

"So, we can't afford to delay this battle. Everyone must be prepared for a tough fight and strive to completely annihilate or defeat these more than 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops within three days. Otherwise, we will face a multi-front siege."

After hearing Chu Feng's words, everyone's expressions became serious and the smiles on their faces disappeared.

"Yes, Commander!"

The meeting lasted three hours before it ended. The group leaders did not have time to exchange greetings and quickly left to go back and make preparations.

At twelve noon, each group set off on time and arrived outside Tianzhen and Yanggao counties around six in the afternoon.

The sun was setting at this time, and it was seven kilometers away from Yanggao County and Tianzhen County.

A group of engineers were busy digging a pit in preparation for the installation of the Little David giant mortar.

The various infantry regiments have not shown up, but the artillery regiments assigned to each county have begun to build artillery positions.

They don't plan to rest tonight, and the Japanese and puppet troops in the county town don't even think about resting.

Indeed! Some permanent fortifications and 150mm caliber heavy artillery can't be attacked, but city walls, some semi-permanent fortifications, and houses in the county town can't be attacked.

While the Independent 1st Division was busy preparing for tomorrow's formal attack, on the other side, the Japanese lieutenant general in charge of commanding the two county towns, who was also the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, also reported the situation as soon as possible.

"Yoshi, it's finally here!"

"Hurry up, pack up, let's go."

"I will personally supervise the battle this time and have a good meeting with Chu Feng!"

“Bagya Road!!!”

Upon receiving the news, General Terauchi Hisaichi did not hesitate and immediately took his men and headed west by train overnight.

More than 20 days ago, Chu Feng took away several county towns and lost tens of thousands of people. He was very angry and wanted to take back the ground in Yanggao County and Tianzhen County.

When leaving, General Terauchi Hisaichi reported the news to the military headquarters.

When the Japanese local military headquarters received the news, they were stunned at first, and then became excited.

"idiot!"

"Has Chu Feng finally lost his temper?"

"Chu Feng, you are too young anyway."

"Two fortified cities. How can he possibly conquer these two fortresses?"

"Our chance has come, we must act!"

"Since he's given the opportunity and wants to hit a wall, we'll make him understand that young people shouldn't be too impulsive, otherwise they'll die without knowing how, damn it!!!"

For a moment, all the Japanese army generals and field marshals gathered together. There was no more gloom and unhappiness on everyone's face. There was only excitement, excitement, and complacency.

The Japanese Emperor also received the news. He was about to take a rest, but he hurried over. Although he was like this every time, he had an excuse, didn't he?
