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

Chapter 21: Divine troops descend from the sky! The battle for the airport begins!

After hearing Chu Feng's battle plan, the three partners thought about it and found that there was no problem, so they nodded in agreement.

"I think it's fine, Brigadier!"

"Brigade Commander, I agree!"

"..."

"All right!"

Seeing that everyone agreed, Chu Feng didn't waste any words and said directly: "Then send a telegram to the Second War Zone Command immediately and tell them that I am the Independent 1st Brigade and we will wait for an opportunity to attack."

"At the same time, the troops must prepare immediately. We must coordinate with the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The night they launch their ambush is the night we will attack the airport."

"After I succeed at the airport, Dayong, Tiezhu, you will act immediately."

Following Chu Feng's order, the 1st Independent Brigade immediately entered a state of combat readiness, training was no longer continued, and each unit began to collect ammunition and supplies.

Headquarters of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

Looking at the telegram from the 1st Independent Brigade, the division commander and other leaders were all delighted.

"We were a little nervous when we sent the telegram to the 1st Independent Brigade, but we didn't expect them to be so happy to do so," said the division commander in surprise.

"Yes!"

Hearing the division commander's words, the division chief of staff said with some anticipation: "We've heard from Yang Wu that the weapons and equipment of the 1st Independent Brigade are quite impressive."

"We've sent two artillery battalions, plus the artillery from their infantry regiment. Together, they have at least an artillery regiment."

"With so many artillery pieces, we are more confident in this battle."

The political commissar, who had been silent the whole time, also smiled and said, "Chu Feng wants us to help their new recruits experience the battlefield. After the battle, we must go to the battlefield and see the blood. We must help with this."

Soon, the 115th Division began to take action, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the 1st Independent Brigade while arranging the deployment of the new recruits from the 1st Independent Brigade.

On the other side, the Second War Zone also received a telegram.

"Ok!"

Yan Laokou looked at Chu Feng's telegram and nodded slightly: "Since Chu Feng agreed, let's wait and see what surprises he can give us."

"The Japanese offensive momentum has been quite strong during this period. We also have to thank Chu Feng for eliminating more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers. Otherwise, we would be under even greater pressure."

"Order the troops on the front lines to intensify their defenses. Reinforcements are on the way, including the Nationalist troops led by Deputy Commander Wei. We must stop the Japanese and defend Dayuan City. Defending Dayuan City means we will defend our Shanxi Province."

At this point, Yan Laokou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army?"

Hearing Yan Laokou's question, the adjutant paused for a moment and said, "I heard that he has arrived in Sanqin Province and is coming here by train."

"Ok!"

Yan Laokou's anxious expression also relaxed a little. As the king of Shanxi Province, in order to protect Shanxi Province, he now welcomes any troops to come to Shanxi Province to fight the Japanese.

Of course, we can fight the Japanese, but it is impossible to ask him to spend money and effort.

On the morning of September 24, the troops supporting the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, led by Director Li Mingqiang, headed south towards Pingxingguan.

The next day, early in the morning of September 25, Chu Feng also led the reconnaissance battalion, chemical defense battalion, engineering battalion, and flight squadron in 150 vehicles, heading north to the airport in Yungang City.

The old Japanese devil Hideki Tojo has also learned his lesson, or he has been hurt by Chu Feng. He does not station any troops directly facing Chujiabao, for fear of being wiped out by Chu Feng.

So Chu Feng's journey was very smooth, and the reconnaissance battalion also explored the way ahead.

When setting out in the morning, Chu Feng knew that the Yaozhan blocking battle had already started yesterday, and the leader of the team was the independent regiment led by his old friend Yang Wu.

Not long after setting off in the morning, he received a telegram from his partner Li Mingqiang, announcing that the main battlefield of the Pingxingguan ambush, the Qiaogou ambush, had officially begun.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Feng, who was leading his troops on the road, received another telegram from his partner Li Mingqiang, stating that the Pingxingguan ambush had ended successfully, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers had been wiped out, and a large number of firearms and supplies had been seized.

Before Li Mingqiang sent the telegram, Chu Feng had already received the system prompt.

“叮咚!恭喜宿主的部队配合八路军作战,获得以下奖励:30万大洋,土棉布*300匹!盐*10吨!猪肉*50吨!7.7毫米子弹*30万发!”

In response, Chu Feng smiled and withdrew the rewards and sent them back to Chu Family Castle.

For him, this was a natural thing.

After sending a congratulatory telegram to the 115th Division, he continued to lead the team forward and told the officers and soldiers the good news.

After hearing this good news, everyone's morale was boosted and they walked with vigor.

By the evening of that day, the troops arrived at the designated location.

"Report to the brigade commander, the Japanese airport has been reconnaissanced!"

Just as the troops were resting in the temporary camp built by the reconnaissance battalion, the reconnaissance battalion commander Li Daniu began to report the results of the investigation to Chu Feng.

"The airfield was built fifteen miles from Yungang City. It had 20 Japanese aircraft of various types, a reinforced squadron stationed there, and over 300 ground crew members."

"The nearest Japanese battalion to the airport is about 5 kilometers away."

After hearing Li Daniu's report, Chu Feng nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Yes, it seems that the Japanese have never suffered any loss. They look very strict when defending, but they are actually very careless."

At this point, Chu Feng called over several battalion commanders and began to lay out the battle plan. He said, "The main force for this attack on the airport will be the 1st Company of the Engineer Battalion and the 1st Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion. The Chemical Defense Battalion will send two companies to provide fire support."

"The reconnaissance battalion's artillery is responsible for providing covering fire."

"The 2nd Reconnaissance Company, the 3rd Company of the Chemical Defense Battalion, and the 2nd Company of the Engineer Battalion will be responsible for blocking the reinforcements from Yungang."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at the reconnaissance battalion commander, Li Daniu, and said, "Daniu, you are responsible for leading the team to block the reinforcements. Remember, you must hold out for more than three hours to buy time for our troops to transport supplies."

"Yes!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, the reconnaissance battalion commander Li Daniu nodded vigorously to show that he understood.

"Also, when sniping the Japanese, we need to be more flexible in our tactics. We need to learn how to coordinate with the engineering corps and make good use of the weapons of our chemical defense company. We can use segmented sniping."

"While completing the mission, do not allow the troops to suffer excessive casualties."

When Chu Feng came this time, he brought a batch of heavy machine guns and Type 92 infantry guns to make up for the lack of heavy firepower in the reconnaissance battalion.

"Yes!" Li Daniu nodded vigorously again.

After Chu Feng instructed Li Daniu, his voice continued, "Let's start this battle at 5:00 a.m. on the 26th. It's still dark, and the Japanese are at their lowest alert."

"By the time we took over the airport, it was already dawn and the squadron of planes had just taken off."

Chu Feng looked at the squadron leader Gao Yuan and said, "Captain Gao, let's discuss it. If conditions permit, we can bring ammunition to support Battalion Commander Li Daniu."

"Yes!"

Captain Gao Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He originally thought that he could lead the flight squadron to fly the plane back smoothly, but he didn't expect that he could also carry out the bombing mission.

Without hesitation, he saluted and responded loudly.

After the combat order was issued, everyone had dinner and then set off.

Chu Feng slept well that night. At 3 o'clock on the 26th, he led his troops towards the airport.

Five o'clock is the darkest time of the day and also the darkest time before dawn.

The Japanese airport was quiet. Apart from the Japanese soldiers on duty who were constantly searching with searchlights, no other movement could be seen.

Under the cover of darkness, the 1st Company of the Reconnaissance Battalion and the 1st Company of the Engineer Battalion, two elite troops from the system, were moving rapidly towards the airport under the leadership of their respective company commanders.

The soldiers from the 1st and 2nd Companies of the Chemical Defense Battalion followed closely behind.

As time passed, at five o'clock, a signal flare rose into the sky, and the ambush troops immediately launched an attack on the airport.

The battle for the airport officially begins.
