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

"General Chu, just focus on attacking the county town. As for defense, our Eighth Route Army will definitely help!"

The first thing Commander Yang Wu said when he saw Chu Feng was to pat his chest and guarantee: "This time, we have mobilized 10 regiments, more than 20,000 people."

Because the Eighth Route Army had fought several battles in cooperation with Chu Feng's Independent 1st Division, it could be said that it had tasted the sweetness.

Although they suffered heavy casualties, the firepower of the Independent 1st Division was strong!

It was so comfortable to fight together with the Independent 1st Division. Not only did we have a large amount of artillery support, but we also had aircraft support. The scene and the effect made fighting so exciting.

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Commander Yang Wu's words, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble the friendly forces. Let's fight first and then we can talk about everything after the battle. We will definitely not let the friendly forces make a wasted trip."

At this time, a large number of Japanese weapons and equipment were accumulated in the warehouse of the Independent 1st Division. The Independent 1st Division had no use for these things, and the various troops were not short of weapons and equipment at all.

Not to mention, the arsenal has now begun mass production of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle.

The system just rewarded 10,000 Type 56 submachine guns, which are imitation versions of the AK47.

The Eighth Route Army dispatched ten regiments and more than 20,000 people to cooperate in the battle.

On the other hand, the Northern Army, with Uncle Zhao Wu flying over personally, also expressed that it would dispatch two divisions to attack the Japanese and puppet troops in Suiyuan to reduce Chu Feng's firepower.

of course!

In addition to showing goodwill to Chu Feng, on the other hand, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops in Suiyuan was also reduced because of the withdrawal of more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops.

"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry. Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for a plane to bring you 200 Japanese grenade launchers, 50 Type 92 infantry guns, and the corresponding ammunition."

Since the friendly forces offered to help, and since this was the first time they were cooperating, Chu Feng also showed goodwill and drew a batch of the Japanese grenade launchers and infantry guns from the warehouse.

Chu Feng's Independent 1st Division is also temporarily equipped with Type 92 infantry guns, but it will soon be completely eliminated.

The Type 92 infantry guns in their hands totaled six or seven hundred, which were used to support the Northern Army and strengthen their firepower and combat effectiveness.

"General Zhao, don't worry. Our Northern Army has dispatched two divisions this time, ready to recapture the cities of Guisui and Lucheng in one fell swoop."

"At the same time, I wish you all the best. I'm waiting for good news of your victory in Hetao."

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army did not expect that he would gain some benefits just because he wanted to help his fellow friendly forces. He laughed even more happily.

Uncle Zhao left. At around 8 o'clock the next morning, 10 C-54s landed at the temporary airport built overnight by the Northern Army. From these 10 behemoths, 200 grenade launchers, 50 Type 92 infantry guns, and a full 100,000 artillery shells of various types were transported down.

The Northern Army personnel who were in charge of receiving supplies stared at the piles of neatly arranged grenade launchers and infantry guns with their eyes wide open.

"Good guy!"

"Everyone says the 1st Independent Division is incredibly wealthy, and today I finally got to see it!"

"Not to mention the 200 grenade launchers, 50 infantry guns, and 10 rounds of various artillery shells they brought out in one go, but even these ten huge aircraft alone, no one in the country could produce them, not even the Nationalist government."

Listening to the whispers of his subordinates, he watched as the 10 C-54 Skymaster transport planes took off again, unloading their cargo quickly, like spreading their wings like rocs.

The Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the Northern Army, who led the team, waved to everyone and said, "Alright, hurry up and transport the weapons and equipment back."

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the Northern Route Army's weapons and equipment were slightly better, but only slightly better.

Compared with the Japanese, the Chinese troops, except for the German-equipped divisions, are weaker than the Japanese.

With the addition of this batch of grenade launchers and infantry guns, the firepower of the Northern Army will be upgraded to a higher level, especially the two divisions that are built with emphasis. Each division will have 100 grenade launchers, and each platoon will be allocated one grenade launcher.

Each regiment will be assigned a 6-gun Type 92 infantry gun company.

No sleep tonight!

No, to be precise, tonight, the Japanese and puppet troops in Yanggao and Tianzhen counties are sleepless, as are the four artillery regiments responsible for artillery strikes, and the Little David Regiment that is busy building artillery positions.

The other soldiers of the 1st Independent Division slept soundly.

next day!

It's just dawn!

On the northern wall of Yanggao County, the Japanese and puppet troops, who hadn't slept all night, stared with red eyes at the vaguely visible figures in the distance, cursing uncontrollably.

"Baga, these Chinese have been firing artillery all night, aren't they tired?"

"I'm so sleepy! Hurry up! Why hasn't the shift replacement come yet? I need to sleep!"

"You guys need to sleep, and so do we. Damn it, who dares to sleep? They're afraid a bomb will hit them in their dreams and they'll go straight to hell."

"Damn it, these bastards, why haven't they come yet? I'm so sleepy!"

"..."

Whether they were those on night duty or standing guard, or the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were resting, all of them had obvious negative emotions and kept talking.

Eight o'clock in the morning!

The sun rose. Maybe it was because it rained a little yesterday and the humidity was too low, so there was a white fog outside the city that had not yet dissipated.

General Terauchi Hisaichi, who arrived by train, was in high spirits. The continuous bombardment by the 1st Independent Division all night had little effect on him.

So after arriving in Yanggao County at around seven in the morning, he inspected the position accompanied by a group of high-ranking Japanese and puppet army officials.

At this time, at the Little David artillery position seven or eight kilometers away, six 914mm Little David mortars had all been erected after a night of hard work. At the same time, shells weighing 1.7 tons were loaded into the gun barrels, and all were ready for shelling.

From the direction of Yanggao County, a convoy of jeeps was driving towards this side quickly, and soon stopped when it was still a few hundred meters away from the Little David cannon position.

The Little David cannon position was built in a small ravine. Although it was huge, it could not be seen unless you got close to it.

At this time, these foreign military attachés and ambassadors got off the car and, under the guidance of the combat staff of the Independent 1st Division, headed towards the Little David cannon position.

For sales

Sitting inside were military attachés and ambassadors from various countries who were invited to watch the battle. At this moment, they were in high spirits.

"I know Yanggao and Tianzhen counties, and I've even visited them up close. These two counties have been completely fortified!"

The voice of the military officer from Gaul was heard.

"That's right!"

As the Gallic military officer finished speaking, another foreigner spoke up, saying, "To capture a fortified county like this, you must have large-caliber artillery."

"Ordinary 150mm heavy artillery is like scratching an itch when facing these fixed firing points."

"I think, with the capabilities of General Chu's troops, it will take some time to smash these turtle shells with heavy artillery. It is very likely that he will need to fill them with his own lives by using explosive packs to blow them up one by one."

At this point, the foreigner revealed a pessimistic expression and said, "I have absolutely no expectations for this battle. I think General Chu is going to fail."

For a moment, other foreigners also expressed their opinions.

Major General Ivanov of the Bear Country, who was mixed in among them, had a rather unhappy expression on his face. You know, if Chu Feng failed, their investment in Chu Feng would be wasted.

Because of this, he was ridiculed a lot along the way, and he was also worried that if Chu Feng failed, how could he recover his losses and give an explanation to Ke Gong.

"ah?!!!"

“I bought it!!!”

"Fuck, it's so big? How is this possible?!"

Just as Major General Ivanov was thinking absentmindedly, he suddenly heard a scream. He couldn't help but frowned and looked in the direction of the sound with some dissatisfaction.

But the next moment, his eyes widened and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
