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

"Um?!!!"

As soon as Chu Feng said this, the eyes of everyone present fell on Chu Feng.

"Commander, you say!"

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Tiezhu quickly spoke.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded when he heard this. He stood up from his chair and said, "I do have a small opinion. That is, since we have decided to fight behind enemy lines, why not choose a farther point? One with more targets? One with more functions?"

"Farther? More targets? Richer functions?" *3? !

As soon as Chu Feng said this, Wang Tiezhu, Ge Dayong and Commander Yang showed a hint of surprise and confusion, and could not help but start muttering and chewing on what Chu Feng had just said, especially the last three requirements.

"Yes, that's right!!"

Looking at the three people who were confused and lost in thought, Chu Feng smiled and nodded, and began to explain to them, saying: "That's right, it's just farther away, with more targets and richer functions!"

As he spoke, Chu Feng walked over to the table, took the command center from Wang Tiezhu, pointed to a place on the battle map, and said, "Can we choose one of the places here? No, to be more precise, this vast area."

Then, the baton in Chu Feng's hand moved again, and it fell on a large area and drew a circle, and said: "And not only there, but also here!" The three of them turned their heads in sync with Chu Feng's voice and the baton in his hand.

Under everyone's gaze, the baton in Chu Feng's hand crossed Chahar Province directly and came to the junction of Rehe Province and Chahar Province.

To be precise, we have already reached Rehe Province.

“Ah?!!!”*3!

As soon as Chu Feng circled the two large areas, Wang Tiezhu, Ge Dayong, and Commander Yang Wu all subconsciously opened their mouths wide.

"Commander, I can understand the first one. That's also the territory of our Jinsui Chaji Special City." Ge Dayong nodded, and asked in confusion, "But the place you mentioned in the second one is not our territory."

"Everyone's going to Rehe Province. Why should we go there? It's quite far from us, and we're caught between the Japanese North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army."

Listening to Ge Dayong's question, Wang Tiezhu and Commander Yang looked at Chu Feng. They also wanted to hear Chu Feng's explanation.

"Haha!" Feeling the gazes of the three people, Chu Feng began to explain to them. He smiled slightly and said, "The three requirements I just mentioned, the choice of these two places meets all three options."

"First of all, we need to stay farther away. Since we need to go deep behind enemy lines, we can't just hang around."

"It's true that we want to train our troops, but I think we can't make training our troops our main goal. Instead, we must fight behind enemy lines and open up new bases behind the Japanese and puppet troops' lines. This is the core."

Chu Feng pointed to the two places he had drawn and said, "Look, this is the Daqingshan line, connecting Chahar and Suiyuan provinces. We will build this place into a base behind enemy lines."

"The advantage is that it is closer to us, so we can attack or defend. If we provide support, we can not only provide support from Yungang, but also from Shuozhou, Pianguan, and Qingshuihe."

"At the same time, it is also adjacent to the Northwest Shanxi Military Region of the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army of the Second World War Zone to the west."

"This place is very suitable for training troops, that is, to implement the plan you have formulated."

At this point, Chu Feng paused slightly, looked at Wang Tiezhu, and said, "It's not that the place you chose is not good. You have considered it very carefully. Everything is based on the purpose of training the troops. While training, you must ensure the safety of the troops."

"But I think this idea is too conservative."

"The army is a war machine, and casualties are a normal phenomenon. Although I have repeatedly stressed the need to avoid large casualties whenever possible, I'm not trying to avoid them just for the sake of reducing them."

“That’s putting the cart before the horse!”

"The reason we chose to fight behind enemy lines was that we didn't want to alert the Japanese and cause them to have a stress reaction."

"Choosing a location so close, even if the scale is small, the old devil Terauchi Juichi will think that we are trying to disperse and disintegrate, or defeat them one by one, which will also make him stressed."

"So the best way is to place the personnel farther away." Chu Feng pointed to the places along the Daqing Mountain that were farther away from home and said, "We'll place them here. They're farther away, so they can focus on fighting behind enemy lines and be small-scale."

"Once we engage in a firefight with the Japanese and puppet troops, because the scale is small, it won't be reported to the North China Front Army Headquarters, and it won't irritate the fragile and sensitive hearts of the Japanese and puppet troops."

At this point, Chu Feng glanced at Commander Yang and said with a smile: "The Japanese probably couldn't imagine that our Independent 1st Division would send troops to fight behind enemy lines. If there is a situation, and judging by their style of action, it is definitely the Eighth Route Army."

"We can use the Eighth Route Army to provide us with some cover, and try not to let the Japanese know that we are the 1st Independent Division, because fighting behind enemy lines is a plan we want to implement long-term."

"It's best not to expose it. This way, the Japanese won't be able to figure out the specific situation."

Having said that, Chu Feng turned the baton in his hand and came to Rehe Province and Chahar Province, saying: "As for Dayong's concerns, this is not our territory. If we rashly enter, we will be in trouble."

"To this, I want to say, wherever I, Chu Feng, want to go, who can stop me?"

"It's not that I have to go wherever the government assigns us to, and I can't go anywhere else. They don't have the ability to do that, and they can't control me, Chu Feng." Chu Feng said this confidently, not caring at all about the presence of Commander Yang, an outsider.

"here!"

Chu Feng's baton moved again, and the eyes of several people couldn't help but follow it. The next moment, the pupils of several people couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

Wang Tiezhu couldn't help but blurt out in horror, "Division Commander, are you going to attack the Kwantung Army?"

As soon as Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, Ge Dayong couldn't help but retort, "Kwantung Army? What Kwantung Army? Our division commander is talking about the Northeast!"

"General Chu, this is a bit too far!"

Commander Yang hadn't expected that while they were still discussing operations behind enemy lines, Chu Feng had already begun targeting the Northeast. "However, now that you think about it, the two places you chose really meet the three conditions you mentioned: farther, with more targets, and more functions."

"Hehehe!"

Looking at his two partners and Commander Yang, who were all in shock, Chu Feng chuckled. Then, in response to Commander Yang's question, he explained with a smile, "Is it big? I don't think it's big at all!!"

"I just laid out plans in Rehe first to prepare for entering the Northeast. I didn't say I would send troops north to the Northeast."

That's right!

Chu Feng's baton slid directly from Rehe Province to the Northeast region, and his ambition was naturally self-evident.

"That's what I'm saying. Since we're going deep behind enemy lines, we might as well be bolder and take a long-term view."

"On the one hand, with Daqingshan as the core, we will establish a short-term combat zone behind enemy lines for military training."

"At the same time, with Rehe Province as the core, we will establish a real base behind enemy lines in the Yanshan Mountains. This base will exist for a long time. Once we gain a foothold here, it will become our bridgehead to enter the outer areas of the Great Wall."

"If we advance, we can take advantage of the situation to enter the Northeast region. If we go down, we can also threaten the Pingjin area."

"So we must occupy this place."

"When the time is right, we will be able to quickly dispatch troops and cut off the connection between the interior and the exterior of the Great Wall. This will leave the Kwantung Army in the Northeast with no other options except entering the peninsula or through our inland sea."

At this point, Chu Feng put down the baton in his hand and said, "Since it is a battle behind enemy lines, if we don't go deep, can it still be called a battle behind enemy lines?"

Wang Tiezhu, Ge Dayong and Commander Yang all showed excitement.

This is a big deal!

When Chu Feng does something, once he has decided on something, he will not make small moves.

Since it has been decided to establish a base in Yanshan, they will definitely not send out one or two troops just for show.

"Iron pillar!"

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Chu Feng's voice rang out: "Follow up on this matter and discuss and formulate a plan to select the first batch of troops to enter Yanshan and who will lead them."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, leave it to me, Commander!"
