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

After hearing what the regiment commander said, the Japanese major fell silent. He wanted to refute, but what his regiment commander said was correct and the arrangements he made were normal.

Of course, the Japanese major was also very clear that in addition to the enemy-friendly factors, another big reason why his own regiment commander said this was that the regiment commander did not like to hear it.

The Japanese lieutenant colonel was not the kind of person who would just sit there and wait for a long time even though his superior didn't like what he said. He resolutely kept his thoughts to himself, bowed and said respectfully, "Hey, Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, I was overthinking it!"

"well!"

Looking at his subordinates who had surrendered to him, the Japanese colonel nodded with satisfaction.

As a colonel who was promoted based on his military achievements, he had no military academy experience and knew that in his life, becoming a colonel and a regiment commander was the limit of his life.

Therefore, he naturally had an unfriendly attitude towards his officers who graduated from military academies. Most of the time, he acted very tough and did not allow anyone to refute him.

After a few more hours, the bodies were burned and the puppet soldiers were buried.

It is impossible to dig a hole, so just throw it into the ditch and fill it with soil to bury it.

The Japanese colonel waved his hand to the Japanese major and said, "Okay, I'll take these ashes back, and you guard the county." After that, he took his men away.

As for the troops coming to support from the direction of Yungang City, they received the news halfway and turned back directly.

Liangcheng!

The Japanese garrison battalion headquarters.

The returning Japanese lieutenant colonel looked at the map of his jurisdiction and fell into silence. He couldn't help but think of his guess this afternoon.

"Baga, no, I have to do something."

"Call all the squadron leaders, as well as the regimental commanders and battalion commanders of the Imperial Army to come to a meeting." After feeling annoyed, he immediately turned around and shouted to the outside.

In other places, he was just a major, and above him were regiment commanders, brigade commanders, and division commanders.

But in Liangcheng, he is the highest authority and his words are imperial decrees.

"Gentlemen!"

Half an hour later, at the Liangcheng Japanese Army Garrison Battalion Headquarters, the Japanese Major looked at a group of Japanese and puppet army officers with a very serious expression.

"I believe you also saw it when I went with me to rescue today. A main force of the Eighth Route Army appeared in our defense zone with strong combat effectiveness. The number of its members is currently uncertain."

"This is an unstable factor for us. It may threaten our safety at any time." Having said this, the Japanese major came to the battle map.

"We have a total of 13 strongholds and 12 watchtowers in Liangcheng County. We are cooperating with the county seat and controlling the entire county."

"I have now decided to abandon 12 artillery towers and 5 strongholds and concentrate all our forces in eight strongholds." As he said this, the Japanese major pointed out the eight remaining strongholds on the map.

"These eight strongholds have several things in common. First, they are all semi-permanent strongholds built with reinforced concrete structures, combined with mountain and rock formations."

"Secondly, it's big enough to accommodate more than 300 people."

"Third, if the light and heavy machine guns are properly equipped, the firepower will be extremely fierce. As the Chinese say, it truly achieves the goal of one man blocking the way for ten thousand."

"Fourth, we are close enough to the county seat. Each stronghold is within 15 kilometers of the county seat. If attacked, we can provide rapid rescue within two to three hours."

After listing the above four advantages, the Japanese major looked at the officers and said, "12 artillery towers and 5 strongholds, with a total of about 1000 people."

"At the same time, I will transfer another 200 Imperial Army soldiers from the county seat, so that each stronghold will have about 270 people."

"I will also apply to my superiors for a batch of weapons and ammunition to ensure that each stronghold is equipped with 10 grenade launchers, 5 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and 16 light machine guns."

Following the order from the Japanese lieutenant colonel, the Japanese and puppet troops in Liangcheng began to move.

"Um???"

"What's going on?!!!"

Liu Yiyun, who had just won a victory and was resting with his troops in Gaojia Village northwest of Liangcheng, received intelligence from the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible.

"The Japanese and puppet troops in Liangcheng have actually withdrawn their forces and are searching around the county seat?"

"This little Japanese garrison captain is quite interesting. I only made one move, and he was so frightened?"

Liu Yiyun saw at a glance the intention of the Japanese garrison captain of Liangcheng.

obviously!

He captured more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops and shocked the defenders of Liangcheng.

Being able to capture more than a thousand people means that some strongholds with low defense coefficients can also be easily captured, and although hiding away is a bit cowardly, it is definitely a good way to preserve one's own strength.

"Lao Liu, the Japs are very decisive!"

Regimental Commander Gao also spoke up. He pointed to the eight strongholds on the battle map where the Japanese and puppet troops had chosen to retreat. He said, "These eight strongholds are not only located around the county town, but each one is also very well-built."

"They're all semi-permanent and permanent fortifications built with concrete and steel, and many are built against the mountainside. Without a super-large caliber cannon, you can't mess with them."

"The most important thing is that these eight strongholds also include some important transportation routes, retaining the core parts and giving us some unimportant places."

At this point, Captain Gao smiled and said, "There are some experts in this county!"

"hehe!"

Liu Yiyun chuckled when he heard this and said, "Master? I, Liu Yiyun, am fighting a master!"

"It would be too boring to fight against a fool with no ability at all. Only a master can be my opponent." Having said that, Liu Yiyun took out a cigarette and handed it to Captain Gao.

Then, he lit up a cigarette and took a puff. Then, Liu Yiyun said to Captain Gao, "Old Gao, since Liangcheng doesn't welcome us, let's go to Horqin."

"The Japanese and puppet troops in Liangcheng gave us basic respect, but the Japanese and puppet troops here didn't make a move at all. They are looking down on me, Liu!"

"I'm here to help you. If you respect me one foot, I will respect you one yard."

"The Japs in Liangcheng are very cunning. Let's let them go for now and go find the Japanese and puppet troops in Horqin to have some fun with them."

Captain Gao, who was smoking on the side, was shocked by Liu Yiyun's flexible bottom line.

"I have to say, you're really shameless!"

Captain Gao gave Liu Yiyun a thumbs up: "If you can't beat them, then you can't beat them. And you still say it so nicely."

After complaining, Captain Gao's face became more serious. He said, "I think it's okay. Liangcheng is a tough nut to crack. Let's put it aside for now and eat up the fat meat around it first."

At this point, Captain Gao paused, looked at Liu Yiyun and asked, "Old Liu, how are you going to fight this battle?"
