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

Just when Chu Feng collected the system reward and then set foot in Yanggao County surrounded by the crowd.

Lucheng, Suiyuan Province.

"So fast? How is it possible?!"

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army knew that the 1st Independent Division was very strong, but he did not expect that in just one day, the 1st Independent Division would capture the county town that was defended by more than 60,000 Japanese and puppet troops and built as strong as a rock?

As a soldier, his first reaction was to question.

They mobilized more than 20,000 people to attack a city defended by more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops. It took an entire night, six or seven hours, to end the battle.

This was only possible because we were led by fellow villagers and fled into the city in advance. Otherwise, it would have taken another hour or two.

"Commander-in-Chief, that's what the telegram said!"

Looking at the commander-in-chief with a look of disbelief, the combat staff was also helpless. The telegram from the Independent 1st Division was really too simple, just a notification.

How could he answer the commander-in-chief's questions without introducing anything?

"Quick, send a telegram to the 1st Independent Division. I'm curious about the battle process!"

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Army also knew that his request was a bit unreasonable, so he no longer hesitated and immediately told the combat staff.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the combat staff officer did not dare to delay and turned around to send a telegram.

"Order the troops to quickly clean up the battlefield. At the same time, send reconnaissance troops to the Guisui direction. If you encounter Japanese and puppet troops, report immediately."

Immediately afterwards, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army issued another order.

He captured Lucheng, but he knew that he could not hold it with his own strength, so he had to give it up in the end. He would lead his troops back to the Hetao area.

"At the same time, send a telegram to the Second War Zone and the Nationalist government to report our results." The Northern Army Commander-in-Chief paused for a moment before adding, "Increase enemy kills by 10% and casualties by 20%."

The Northern Army's weapons, equipment and supplies still depend on the Second War Zone and the National Government. He does not have the confidence of Chu Feng. Although it is nominally under the jurisdiction of the National Government, it is actually developing on its own.

At the same time, not only the Northern Route Army received the telegram from the Independent 1st Division, but the Eighth Route Army also received it.

Compared with the Northern Route Army's lack of understanding, the Eighth Route Army was not shocked. They were just curious about the battle process. They also sent a congratulatory telegram to Chu Feng and hoped to know the specific combat situation.

"Division Commander, the Northern Army Commander-in-Chief, and the Eighth Route Army have all sent inquiring telegrams."

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu came over with a smile and handed two telegrams to Chu Feng.

"hehe!"

Looking at the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Tell them the specific combat situation, and at the same time remind our friendly forces to evacuate in time."

"Okay, Commander!"

Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu smiled and nodded, then turned around to reply to the telegram.

"The county town has been completely destroyed!"

Looking at the devastated Yanggao County, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"But it doesn't matter. If the old doesn't go, the new won't come!"

"Next, we will rebuild Yanggao County and Tianzhen County. Our Jincha Special District will be complete."

Chu Feng, who has great power in his hands, has no pressure at all to rebuild the county town.

Moreover, in the next few months, these two county towns will become his two northernmost border towns to the outside world.

But Chu Feng did not want to build it into a military fortress. After this battle, the Tongpu Railway and the Pingsui Railway were cut off by him. The Japanese in Shanxi Province could only rely on the Zhengtai Railway to transport materials and supplies.

The Japanese in Suiyuan Province could only rely on roads to transport supplies, but this would not last long.

On the one hand, Chu Feng will not stand still. The army will usher in a wave of large-scale expansion. Expansion and training will take time. In the next three to six months, he will not take the initiative.

In other words, half a year later, he would launch a battle to the north and west, directly recapture Suiyuan Province in one fell swoop, and completely incorporate places like Yungang into his sphere of influence.

On the other hand, if Chu Feng wants to develop, it also depends on whether the Japanese will give him the opportunity. Not taking the initiative to attack for three to six months does not mean that the Japanese will not take the initiative to attack.

"It seems that we should bargain with the government. This Jincha Special District is a bit small!"

Chu Feng didn't say this out loud, but he was already thinking about how to play a game with the government.

"report!"

Lucheng, the telegram from the 1st Independent Division soon arrived. Looking at the reply from the 1st Independent Division, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army couldn't help but sigh and said, "Although there was an uprising on the battlefield, the strength of the 1st Independent Division is really too terrifying."

"Sixty to seventy thousand Japanese puppet troops are no match for us. Even one hundred thousand Japanese puppet troops are no match for us. Fortunately, we are friendly forces. If we were enemies, I wouldn't dare to believe that with only the tens of thousands of troops in our hands, how could we possibly fight against the 1st Independent Division?"

After hearing the commander-in-chief's words, the Northern Army also fell silent.

After a while, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army said, "Now that the battle in the Jincha Special District is over, we don't need to fight for reinforcements anymore. Order the troops to prepare for retreat!"

The situation of the Eighth Route Army was similar. Although they did not attack the county town like the Northern Route Army, they were able to draw large numbers of Japanese and puppet troops from Shanxi Province during their period.

The number of Japanese and puppet troops in various places was greatly reduced, and they launched raids on small-scale Japanese and puppet garrisons such as strongholds and railway stations. More than a dozen regiments were dispatched, and more than a dozen strongholds were captured, four or five railway stations were destroyed, and hundreds of kilometers of railway tracks were torn up.

It provided strong support to the Independent 1st Division. Because the railway was destroyed, the Japanese and puppet troops dispatched from Shanxi Province originally had to take the train, but finally had to move on foot.

The Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army retreated after receiving a telegram from General Terauchi Hisaichi.

The old Japanese soldiers in the Japanese military were very angry, and the Japanese emperor who received the news was also furious.

But I was just furious, and felt powerless in the face of this result.

Finally, they knew that the chance was gone, and forcing a fight would be just giving heads to Chu Feng's Independent 1st Division. After all, the reason they sent troops was based on the fact that the two county towns could attract Chu Feng's main force, which was an opportunistic behavior.

Now that the county town is gone, the chance to fight is gone too.

Peking!

Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji, who had just led his troops south from the northeast and had not yet gotten off the train, received the news of the retreat at this moment, and his expression looked a little unhappy.

"idiot!"

"You are the ones who urged me to leave, and you are the ones who pulled me back. Are you kidding me?!!!"

"Bagya Road!"

Although he was very angry, Lieutenant General Okamura Yasuji had no choice but to accept his fate, but he felt a little sorry for it.

Before coming here, he had thought about fighting with Chu Feng, a rising star in China. Now that his hope was dashed, he felt a little regretful: "It seems that I can only wait until next time!"

"Chu Feng, I hope you can hold on a little longer. I, Okamura Neiji, will definitely destroy you!"

The Kwantung Army led by General Okamura Yasuji retreated calmly, but some Japanese and puppet troops ran a little too fast, fearing that they would be pursued and left behind by Chu Feng.

The northern Shanxi region, which was originally shrouded in dark clouds, suddenly saw all the clouds disperse, and there was no trace of gunpowder, as if the days of peace and tranquility had returned.

Especially the Japanese and puppet troops in the Shanxi-Chahar Special District, each of them was so honest that they didn't dare to say a word and spoke carefully, for fear that the Independent 1st Division would come to kill them.

Among them, the commander of the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army stationed in Yungang was even more so. He repeatedly expressed his hope to withdraw the 26th Division headquarters to a further north, as he did not want to be neighbors with Chu Feng.

No other reason, just stress!
