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

"Ouch!"

Regimental Commander Gao took Liu Yiyun's telegram and, after just one glance, revealed a surprised expression. He said, "Master Chu, this is a very generous gesture!"

"Your three teams haven't even fought for a full month, and you've already decided to send out the second batch? Five teams already?"

In the telegram sent by the Northwest Shanxi Military Region to Commander Gao, it only said that a force of 2,600 people would be sent to join him, and the command of this force would be handed over to him, but the commander-in-chief would be Liu Yiyun.

However, Liu Yiyun's telegram contained a report from the 1st Independent Division, which not only ordered them to expand their troops on the spot, but also informed them that they would send five detachments into Suiyuan and Chahar, the enemy's rear areas.

"hehe!"

Hearing Captain Gao's question, Liu Yiyun, the commander who had followed Chu Feng the longest, smiled and said, "Our division commander has a very decisive style of action. As long as he sees that the situation is good and everything is running smoothly, he will make a decision without hesitation. He does not procrastinate and is very straightforward."

"And these are just five provinces, Chahar and Suiyuan are as big as this."

"For example, there aren't many Japanese troops stationed in those grassland areas. They're all the territory of the puppet Mongolian army. Wait, we'll have to send troops to those areas too. With such a large area, our division commander will need at least a third batch."

"There will be no less than five teams. By then, our first three teams will also be rotated."

"In Suiyuan and Chahar provinces, there must be at least thirteen detachments operating."

Liu Yiyun's words left Captain Gao dumbfounded. He said, "A detachment has nearly 6,000 people, so thirteen of them means nearly 80,000 people."

"You just transfer them away as soon as you say so?"

"What about your main force?"

Commander Gao did not understand the actions of the 1st Independent Division.

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Yiyun couldn't help but laugh at Captain Gao's doubts and said, "Who said we only mobilize the main force?"

"My first detachment. The second detachment is based on our two main brigades. The third detachment is composed of the main force plus local forces."

"In the future, it will be a combination of the main force and local forces." Having said that, Liu Yiyun put the telegram handed to him by Captain Gao on the table, and he looked at Captain Gao with a smile.

"Lao Gao, we've been winning battles one after another, and many people from the surrounding area have come to join the army. The first team, including new and old soldiers, already has about 8,000 people."

"And then there are the 2,600 or so people from the Northwest Shanxi Military Region who are coming soon."

"Our troops have already exceeded 10,000 men. While the troops are training, we two should also discuss how to develop them."

"My idea is, why don't we attack a county town?"

As a member of the 1st Independent Division, Liu Yiyun is nothing but bold.

Before, there were few people, and their weapons and equipment, and firepower were not very fierce.

But now, not counting new recruits, the combat force has reached 9,000 people. With so many people, coupled with dozens of artillery pieces, it seems that none of the Japanese and puppet troops around can fight, and there is no challenge at all.

So Liu Yiyun thought of attacking a county town.

“Attack the county town?!!!”

Captain Gao also finished reading the telegram from the 1st Independent Division. When Liu Yiyun finished speaking, Captain Gao looked at Liu Yiyun in amazement.

"Old Liu, are you crazy?"

"We're going to attack the county? What are we going to use to attack the county?"

"We do have a lot of artillery, but they are all Type 92 infantry guns. They can easily take down a stronghold, but can we really take down the county wall?"

Looking at the obviously unconvinced Captain Gao, Liu Yiyun chuckled, "I don't have any, but I learned from the Second and Third Detachments that they have acquired a batch of 107mm mortars and a batch of 75mm mountain cannons."

"I sent a telegram to the captain of the second detachment, Zeng Erniu, and the captain of the third detachment, Zhang Dapao. They are my half-brothers. If I ask them, they will definitely agree."

After listening to Liu Yiyun's words, Captain Gao was speechless.

Damn it! They're half-brothers, outrageous!

"Let's study it first!"

Captain Gao did not agree immediately, but studied it first. Attacking the county town was a big deal and could not be decided so hastily.

"Lao Gao, what are you even researching?"

Liu Yiyun chuckled and said, "The Japanese and puppet troops in Horqin County are very weak. Even if they can mobilize troops, it will take time. This opportunity cannot be missed!"

"I'll send a telegram to the two detachments and ask them to send over the artillery and guns."

"We'll send out some troops here to scout. Once your troops arrive and the two artillery units arrive, we'll take action."

"Since we want to be like Sun Wukong who gets into Princess Iron Fan's belly, let's give it a good beating."

"The more noise we make, the more firepower and attention we can draw to the five new teams, allowing them to pass through more easily."

"..."

Looking at Liu Yiyun who was determined to attack the county town, Captain Gao shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's make preparations first. I'll send a telegram to the military commander and ask them to move faster."

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing that Captain Gao agreed, Liu Yiyun smiled proudly.

When Old Liu was in the main force, he fought bravely and also liked to do challenging and eye-catching things.

When we are fighting behind enemy lines, we naturally cannot sit idle.

Captain Gao went to send a telegram, and Liu Yiyun also sent telegrams to the Second and Third Detachments.

Second Detachment Headquarters.

"Commander, a telegram from Commander Liu!"

A combat staff officer handed a telegram to the captain of the second detachment, Zeng Erniu.

"Ok?"

Zeng Erniu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand why Liu Yiyun sent him a telegram.

I took it and looked at it, and smiled instantly.

"This Liu Yiyun, damn it, I know he has no good intentions when he comes to me."

"I barely even warmed up the five 75mm mountain cannons I captured when this guy set his sights on them."

"We're still trying to attack the county town! No way! Liu Yiyun has taken all the limelight. What's going to happen to our Second Detachment?" Zeng Erniu scolded with a smile, "Telegram Liu Yiyun back and tell him we can lend him the artillery, but only for ten days at most."

After saying that, Zeng Erniu waved his hand and asked the combat staff to send a telegram, while he called people over and began to discuss what the Second Detachment could do.

Since the destruction of more than 20 strongholds, the Second Detachment has been lying in wait. If they don't take action soon, that old guy Liu Yiyun will definitely give them a bad face when he returns.

On the other side, the same thing happened to the third team.

Detachment leader Zhang Dapao also laughed when he saw Liu Yiyun's shameless telegram.

While cursing Liu Yiyun, he sent his 10 107mm mortars and artillery overnight.

At the same time, Zhang Dapao also began to think about what the third team should do.
