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

Logically speaking, one battle would not alarm the Japanese emperor. The fact is that in all these years of invasion, the Imperial Japanese Army has never suffered so many losses at the hands of one person.

Moreover, the losses he suffered became greater each time, and the setbacks he suffered became more severe each time. In the end, His Majesty the Emperor could no longer bear it, and he remembered the name Chu Feng more clearly in his heart than his own son's name.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing the emperor coming, a group of old Japanese soldiers hurriedly knelt down and saluted. The emperor sat in the first seat and waved his hand gently. Without much nonsense, he said three sentences.

"This is a good opportunity. I hope to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Chu Feng in one fell swoop."

"The military and even the entire country will cooperate."

"I don't care how you fight, I just want to see the result."

After saying this, His Majesty the Emperor stood up and left without even waiting for his butt to warm up. Today, he planned to sleep in a side hall for the night.

After seeing off His Majesty the Emperor, the other old devils gathered together and began to discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity to truly kill Chu Feng, the empire's biggest threat, once and for all.

In fact, even if the emperor did not come, they did not want to miss this opportunity.

As high-level officials, they didn't want to see their troops being beaten by Chu Feng every time. This feeling was indeed unpleasant, and it would also bring shame to them.

Of course, in addition to this reason, Chu Feng’s current position also makes the Japanese very embarrassed.

With Chu Feng's current strength, if he is not contained, it will not be as simple as cutting off the Tongpu Railway and the Pingsui Railway. It is very likely that he will develop westward and take Suiyuan into his pocket. He may also move eastward and threaten the Pingjin area and the stability of the Northeast.

Nowadays, Northeast China has become a base for raw materials, food, etc. that the Japanese cannot obtain. Once there is turmoil in Northeast China, the Japanese will definitely not be able to accept it.

They have been operating here for so many years and have invested so much, they will never allow a force that can threaten the foundation of the country to emerge.

"This opportunity is rare, we must seize it!"

A Japanese army marshal, also a Japanese prince, said, "It's too late to mobilize troops from the mainland, and we can't withdraw troops from Central China. We can only find a way from the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army."

As soon as the prince marshal finished speaking, the old Japanese soldiers nodded in agreement.

"Currently, the closest and fastest force is the Kwantung Army. However, the number of troops mobilized should not be too large, and the time required cannot be too long."

"In my opinion, we should use the Mongolian Army and the First Army of Shanxi Province, draw one division from the North China Front Army, and draw two divisions from the Kwantung Army, plus some artillery units."

"Combined with the troops from Yanggao County and Tianzhen County, we can gather at least 15 troops and launch an attack on the Chinese Chu Feng forces from multiple directions."

At this point, an old Japanese soldier couldn't help but speak, shaking his head and saying, "It's a pity that the planes we ordered haven't returned yet. Otherwise, we could have combined them with aviation and advanced on both the ground and in the air."

that's it!

The old devils quickly finalized the battle plan and telegrams were quickly sent to various places.

"idiot!!!"

At the Kwantung Army Headquarters, General Umezu Yoshijiro was somewhat unhappy when he received the telegram from the military headquarters.

Here in Chu Feng, their Kwantung Army had lost tens of thousands of people and hundreds of aircraft.

After finally making up for this shortfall, he is now asked to dispatch at least two divisions, plus an independent artillery regiment, which adds up to more than 50,000 people.

If the Kwantung Army had not begun large-scale expansion at the beginning of the year, based on the size of more than 80,000 people last year, the entire Kwantung Army would have been empty once these 50,000 people were withdrawn.

But even though it is already expanding on a large scale, there are only a few hundred thousand people now, and one-third of the 50,000 people have been directly withdrawn.

The Kwantung Army also had a hard time. Not only did it have to engage in a military confrontation with the Soviet Union, but there were also a large number of Chinese anti-Japanese armed forces active.

Perhaps because he had suffered too many losses at the hands of Chu Feng, General Umezu Mijiro was a little unconfident.

I always feel that if I throw these more than 50,000 people out, they might just end up like a meat bun thrown at a dog, and never come back.

But he couldn't do anything, and even though he was very unhappy, he still had to do it.

"Order the 2nd Division, the 104th Division, and the 31st Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 15th Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade to quickly assemble and travel south by train."

"The troops are under the full command of Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji of the 2nd Division!"

As the order was issued, the Kwantung Army sent a permanent division, the 2nd Division, a special division, the 104th Division, and a heavy artillery regiment, totaling more than 54,000 people. They first went south to the Peiping-Tianjin area and then west to Zhangjiakou.

At the same time, the North China Front Army dispatched the 109th Division to the north to provide support.

As for the First Army, two brigades and a heavy artillery regiment were drawn from each division and marched north along the Tongpu Railway.

At the same time, the troops stationed in Mongolia had to draw on the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade and combine it with 6,000 puppet Mongolian troops to form a force of more than 13,000 puppet troops. They invaded Huairen County and Xiyu Town from the direction of Yungang City, threatening the northwest gate of the Shanxi-Chahar Special District.

In order to seize this opportunity to eliminate Chu Feng, the Japanese devils sent out all their elite troops and mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized.

As a result, the combat plan of the North China Front Army was also affected, and it was difficult to achieve a ceasefire on the front battlefield.

For a time, everyone's attention, both at home and abroad, was focused on the land of northern Shanxi.

Compared with the last large-scale sweep by 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops, this time it can be said that 150,000 to 160,000 Japanese and puppet troops were gathered, of which 130,000 were Japanese troops, and the puppet troops were just over 20,000, two-thirds of which were in Yanggao and Tianzhen counties.

It took time to dispatch the Japanese troops, but telegrams of condolences and inquiries came in from all sides.

Chu Feng ignored these telegrams, and replied with one sentence to everyone who sent one: "Wait until this battle is over!"

of course!

In addition to those who asked, there were many who wanted to help, such as the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army of the Second War Zone hiding in the Hetao area. They both sent telegrams, saying that they could take the initiative to attack, attract firepower to Chu Feng and relieve the pressure.

Chu Feng did not refuse his friends who offered to help. On the Eighth Route Army side, Commander Yang Wu and the head of the 120th Division were still the representatives, and they came together.

As for the Northern Army, Uncle Zhao Wu, who was stationed in Jincheng in the northwest, personally flew to the Hetao area to discuss some details.

For a time, the entire northern Shanxi region seemed to be on the verge of a storm.

As for the Japanese and puppet troops' fierce and comprehensive encirclement and suppression, many people were pessimistic about Chu Feng and his Independent 1st Division.

Many people took the opportunity to publicly publish some remarks of surrendering to the enemy and appeasing the government in the newspapers. The public opinion in the country began to change, and many people were affected. The trend of pessimism gradually rose.
