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

"Deputy Commander, Chu Feng agreed!"

At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the deputy chief of general staff handed the telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief with a smile.

"hehe!"

Hearing the Deputy Chief of General Staff's words, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief chuckled, took the telegram, glanced at it, and said, "Send a message to several military regions."

"Chu Feng said in the telegram that they will soon be increasing the troops fighting behind enemy lines. We will equip each detachment with a regiment of about 2,500 people."

"We need to mobilize eight regiments of troops. We will have each military region and sub-region select the best personnel."

"Whether they are commanders or veterans or new recruits, they have fought alongside the 1st Independent Division in the past. We cannot let them hold us back."

At this point, the deputy commander paused and said, "For the first three regiments, we don't need to send the regimental commander, political commissar, and chief of staff. Our former comrades will take on these positions."

"We just need to equip the battalion, company and platoon level cadres well."

"As for weapons and equipment, normal configuration will be sufficient. Fighting alongside Chu Feng's troops, it won't be long before weapons and equipment are replaced."

As soon as the deputy commander said this, the other leaders present also laughed.

They were naturally very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Independent 1st Division.

"Okay, deputy commander!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff responded with a smile and turned to send a telegram.

"What do you think these Japs would think if they knew that Chu Feng was using the name of our Eighth Route Army?" An Eighth Route Army leader said with a smile as the Deputy Chief of General Staff left.

"I'm so angry!"

Upon hearing this question, another leader laughed and said, "They were fooled the whole time. How could they not be furious?"

Having said this, the commander paused again and said with a smile, "Of course, before they get mad at us, they will be overwhelmed and suffer heavy losses at the hands of our combined forces."

For a moment, hearty laughter rang out again in the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After laughing, the leaders of the Eighth Route Army began to chat.

"Chu Feng is slowly accumulating strength now, and the Japanese are doing the same."

"At least two months, at most three months, a major war will definitely break out between Chu Feng and the Japanese puppet troops." Having said this, the leader looked at the time and said, "It should be in October or November."

The deputy commander, who had been silent since the commander finished speaking, smiled and said, "Almost the same. Moreover, Chu Feng's strength has increased. Even we, as friendly forces, haven't received the latest intelligence."

"I think that once this battle begins, it won't be as simple as retaking a few counties, such as Zhangjiakou and Yungang."

"Once we take action, the Pingjin area may not be too chaotic, and at most we can take back Beiping."

"With the strength of Chu Feng's 1st Independent Division and local forces, he might be able to take back the entire Chahar and Suiyuan provinces."

"The Mongolian garrison will likely become the first army-level unit to be completely eliminated from the Japanese army in this battle." Speaking of this, the deputy commander-in-chief revealed a hint of emotion and said, "Chu Feng's troops are developing at an astonishing speed, and their weapons and equipment are enough to make people drool."

"Once we win this battle against the Japanese, the anti-Japanese war situation in the entire north will be broken."

"The powerful Japanese will be compressed and divided, the connection between the Japanese North China Front Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army will be cut off, and the troops stationed in Mongolia will become a thing of the past."

"If the First Army of Jin Province is cut off from the Zhengtai Railway, they will be completely isolated."

"The North China Front Army will lose large areas of northern and eastern Hebei and retreat to central Hebei, Tianjin and other places."

"Chu Feng's army will dominate the land from the beginning and will be able to touch the ocean."

"He keeps sending all sorts of large-caliber artillery and aircraft. Who knows, he might even create a naval fleet for you."

After hearing what the deputy commander-in-chief said, the other leaders of the Eighth Route Army also nodded slightly.

A leader smiled and said, "This way, the pressure on our Eighth Route Army can be greatly reduced. We don't have to worry about the pressure from the north, and we can focus more on building other bases."

"For us, the better Chu Feng develops, the better it will be for us as friendly forces. As long as we deepen our cooperation, it will definitely be beneficial to us."

"but!"

The commander paused, smiled bitterly, and said, "But if that happens, not only will the Japanese be furious, I'm afraid the one in the temporary capital will also be furious."

"He may be the person in all of China who least wants to see Chu Feng grow up too fast."

"To be precise, he not only doesn't want to see Chu Feng grow stronger, he also doesn't want to see any unit that is not his direct line grow stronger."

"At that time, he will definitely do something weird."

As old rivals, these leaders of the Eighth Route Army knew the man in the temporary capital very well.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, the deputy commander sneered and said, "The accompanying capital does play tricks, but the problem is, when he plays tricks, Chu Feng cares about them? To be precise, Chu Feng developed all of this by himself."

"The accompanying capital is a dispensable existence. Now the accompanying capital needs Chu Feng, not Chu Feng who needs the accompanying capital, so there is no need to worry at all."

"He's a little narrow-minded, but not stupid."

"Even if he's angry and cursing, he won't show it, at least not now."

The deputy commander laughed disdainfully again, and then said, "We have also made preparations here. Once Chu Feng wins, the main force of our Northwest Shanxi Military Region will go to other places to establish a base."

"The troops stationed in Mongolia to the north have been repelled. Suiyuan and Chahar provinces will become the core areas for the 1st Independent Division to vigorously develop. They will also be transformed from occupied areas into the rear area. There will be no Japanese and puppet troops left. We only need to leave some troops to deal with the Japanese First Army in Shanxi Province."

"Besides that, the First Military Division is also doing the same. Besides leaving some troops behind to build a solid line of defense, the remaining main forces will also need to find a new battlefield."

After hearing this, all the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters nodded and agreed with the deputy commander-in-chief's words.

"Why don't we discuss it here first, come up with a charter, and then report it to the border region!" The deputy commander-in-chief made the decision immediately and finalized the matter.

Liangcheng!

The temporary base of the First Detachment, the Detachment Headquarters.

Captain Gao took the telegram and excitedly found Liu Yiyun, saying with a smile: "Old Liu, haha, we Old Gao are not alone anymore, we also have an army."

As he spoke, he handed the telegram that had just been sent from the Northwest Shanxi Military Region to Liu Yiyun.

"Hehehe!"

Liu Yiyun chuckled when he heard this, and while taking it, he handed over the telegram in his hand and said, "I also have a telegram from the division headquarters here, you can take a look at it."
