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

Wang Tiezhu acted quickly. After Chu Feng finished speaking in the morning, he had come up with a new battle plan in the evening.

"After the revision, our plan this time is to send out three teams. The first team will go to Liangcheng, the second team will go to Jining, and the third team will go to Zhangbei County."

"The first detachment heading towards Liangcheng and Qingshui River is led by Brigadier General Liu Yiyun, accompanied by Commander Gao and his entourage from the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Shanxi Military Region."

"The second detachment heading to Jining and Chayouqian Banner is led by Brigade Commander Zeng Erniu of the Second Brigade. They are accompanied by Commander Zhang and his entourage from the First Division of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region."

"The third detachment heading towards Zhangbei is led by Guard Regiment Commander Zhang Dapao, and they are accompanied by Chief of Staff Luo and his team from the First Division."

"The three detachments have the same personnel, weapons and equipment."

"In terms of personnel, a detachment is composed of five infantry battalions, each with 1050 men, one artillery battalion with 450 men, a supply battalion with 500 men, and a 120-man security and communications support company, for a total of 6325 men."

"Light weapons include rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and sniper rifles. Semi-automatic rifles, automatic rifles, rocket launchers, and other weapons are not equipped."

“每个步兵连，装备5门60毫米迫击炮，每个营装备5门九二式步兵炮，支队炮兵营装备12门82毫米迫击炮和12门九二式步兵炮。”

"Guard Communications Support Company, all personnel are equipped with submachine guns and Mauser pistols."

"Equip each company with a radio, and each company and platoon with a walkie-talkie. To prevent the enemy from seizing these walkie-talkies, I plan to have all troops be prepared. If necessary, the troops must destroy the walkie-talkies immediately and not let them fall into the hands of the Japanese."

Listening to Wang Tiezhu's arrangements, Chu Feng nodded slightly. Since they were fighting behind enemy lines, the weapons and equipment had to be kept simple, especially the weapons and ammunition, which had to be supplied by captured weapons.

So there is no need to carry weapons like sniper guns and rocket launchers.

"How are the personnel selection and deployment for these three detachments arranged?"

Chu Feng looked at the battle plan in his hand and asked.

"Is such that!"

Hearing Chu Feng's question, Wang Tiezhu introduced: "Division Commander, the First Detachment, we have a brigade as the core and have selected 3000 officers and soldiers, with a ratio of 2:1 between new and old soldiers."

"Another 2000 men were drawn from two local garrison regiments and one internal security regiment. 500 men were each drawn from the artillery brigade and the supply corps. The ratio of new soldiers to veterans remains 2:1."

"At the same time, each detachment of the Eighth Route Army supported us with about 100 people." Having said this, Wang Tiezhu looked at Commander Yang beside him.

"Not bad!"

When Chu Feng heard Wang Tiezhu's arrangement, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "We are training our troops. If we recruit too many veterans, it will lose some of the fun."

"Veterans are there to ensure combat effectiveness and keep the troops in order. They are the foundation of the troops."

Having said that, Chu Feng reviewed the battle plan again and found that there was no problem. He waved his hand at Wang Tiezhu and said, "I have no problem with it!"

These three troops are an experiment. As for what he said this morning, Wang Tiezhu still needs to lead his men to perfect the plan.

Wang Tiezhu and Ge Dayong worked very quickly. After more than an hour, orders were delivered via radio waves and relevant personnel began to assemble quickly.

At noon the next day, in the midst of the hustle and bustle, one unit after another left quietly, heading towards the east, west and north.

Five days later, in Quanshuigou, southwest of Liangcheng.

A troop was lying in ambush on both sides, and the captain of the first troop, Liu Yiyun, was sitting on a stool made of ammunition boxes.

"Brigade Commander Liu, are we sure we're going to do something this big right from the start?"

Captain Gao of the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Shanxi Military Region, who was accompanying Liu Yiyun, asked with some concern, "However, that's still over a thousand Japanese and puppet troops."

"But we only have three battalions, one artillery battalion, one supply battalion, and only one infantry battalion."

Two days ago!

Under the leadership of the Eighth Route Army, a group of people came to Liangcheng.

They did not reveal their identities, and when asked by fellow villagers, they said they were a unit of the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Shanxi Military Region.

After adapting for a while, Liu Yiyun dispersed the four infantry battalions. With the help of friendly forces, there would be no big problem.

He himself led the 5th Battalion, the Artillery Battalion, and the Quartermaster Battalion.

Just this morning, they received intelligence from the local forces of the Eighth Route Army, saying that a group of more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops from Horqin County were escorting more than a hundred vehicles of supplies towards Liangcheng.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yiyun said without hesitation that his first battle would be against this Japanese and puppet army.

"hehe!"

Listening to Captain Gao's worried words, Liu Yiyun chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Japanese and puppet troops have more than a thousand people, and we are not far behind. Together we have more than two thousand people."

"Even though there are many new recruits, and half of them are technical soldiers, the combat effectiveness of our 1st Independent Division, even if they are just logistics troops, cannot be underestimated."

At this point, Liu Yiyun pointed to the artillery position not far away and said, "Not to mention, we have more than 30 artillery pieces. We are fighting an ambush, which is enough to give the Japanese and puppet troops a hard time."

Looking at the confident Liu Yiyun, Captain Gao couldn't help but complain, "What are you talking about? Enter the village quietly, don't shoot, are you more aggressive than anyone else?"

Faced with Captain Gao's complaints, Liu Yiyun was thick-skinned and just smiled.

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander!"

Just as Liu Yiyun and Captain Gao were chatting to kill time, a voice suddenly rang out from the walkie-talkie: "We've found the traces of the Japanese and puppet army transport team. They're about 15 kilometers away from us. It will take at least an hour and a half."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyun's eyes lit up immediately: "Finally here, great guy!"

He grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Keep monitoring, and report any developments!"

Captain Gao, who was standing by, saw this scene and his eyes turned red with envy.

"Old Liu, your 1st Independent Division is too arrogant. Our entire regiment doesn't even have a radio, but you guys not only equip every company with radios, but you also have walkie-talkies."

"It's so convenient that we can talk directly within a dozen kilometers."

"I wonder when our Eighth Route Army will have such a good thing." As he said this, he couldn't help but touch the walkie-talkie.

"Ha ha!"

Looking at the envious Captain Gao, Liu Yiyun smiled and said, "Old Gao, if you ask me about this, I don't know. You need to find your Eighth Route Army leaders and ask them to contact our division commander."

"I heard that we are researching this thing ourselves. If we can produce it ourselves and the output is good, we will buy some from you at a lower price."

When Captain Gao heard what Liu Yiyun said, he couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "After this mission is over, I will go back and talk to the leaders. This thing is so convenient!"

Time passed little by little as I waited, and before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed.

Finally, in Liu Yiyun's sight, the Japanese and puppet army transport team appeared on the not-so-wide road.

Leading the way was a vanguard consisting of more than one hundred Japanese and puppet troops, who were conducting reconnaissance activities at a distance of about one hundred meters from the Japanese and puppet troops' transport team.

However, it is called investigation, but it is just a pretense.

They also fought with the Eighth Route Army many times, but generally speaking, the Eighth Route Army would not easily provoke a transport team of their size, so there was no need to worry about being ambushed.

The Eighth Route Army may have the courage, but they do not have the ability to eliminate them in a short period of time.

Once they were delayed, they would receive quick support from the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops.

"Taijun Kameda, when we go to Liangcheng today, we must try the fish from Daihai." A regimental commander of the puppet Mongolian army said to a Japanese lieutenant colonel with a flattering look on his face.

"well!"

Hearing the words of the pseudo-Mongolian army commander, Lieutenant Colonel Kameda was very moved and said, "My, this guy has three hobbies: eating, beautiful women, and money."

"Eating is especially important. It ranks first." He couldn't help but pat his fat belly and said, "Before coming here, the mutton I ate was always smelly and not tasty at all."

"But after eating the mutton from the grassland, I realized that mutton can be so fat and delicious."

"During this period, we have been eating mutton and pork."

"No matter how delicious it is, it's still a bit greasy. Try some fish to change your appetite. Not bad." Having said that, Lieutenant Colonel Kameda couldn't help but pat the pseudo-Mongolian army commander on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Baosang, you are a good citizen."

The commander of the puppet Mongolian army was not a Han Chinese, but a Mongolian, a subordinate of the puppet Mongolian army's King De. This time, he was responsible for escorting supplies with the Japanese, and he brought out a cavalry battalion.

The Japanese and puppet troops stepped fearlessly into the ambush circle set up by Liu Yiyun.

Liu Yiyun's eyes were fixed on the Japanese and puppet army transport team. "Lao Gao, the weapons and equipment of these Japanese and puppet troops are quite good. If we're not lucky, we might be able to defeat a cavalry battalion after this battle."

"Do you have anyone? And the cavalry battalion!" Captain Gao couldn't help but ask back after hearing Liu Yiyun's words.

"hiss!!!"

As soon as Captain Gao said this, Liu Yiyun couldn't help but suck his teeth and said, "This person is really a big problem. If the cavalry battalion can't handle it, then give the equipment to the baggage battalion."

Time continued to pass, and after another ten minutes, a voice came from the walkie-talkie.

"Brigade Commander, the Japanese and puppet troops have all entered our ambush circle."

Hearing this, Liu Yiyun was shocked. Without hesitation, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted, "Attention, all troops, listen to my orders, and fight for me!!!"
