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

"Lao Gao, take a look at this telegram!"

Liu Yiyun handed the telegram in his hand to Captain Gao.

"what?"

Captain Gao took the telegram with some surprise, but after just one look, he was stunned.

"Targeting the puppet army?"

"Attack the puppet troops as much as possible? Force them to surrender?"

The telegram was not long and Captain Gao quickly finished reading it. He said with some surprise.

"Ok!"

Liu Yiyun nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "The divisional headquarters should have seen that in this battle, our three detachments worked together to take down a puppet army division in a short period of time."

"We think the puppet army is a soft persimmon, let us take this opportunity to strike at the puppet army."

"Compared to the Japanese devils, the puppet army is easier to bully."

Speaking of this, Liu Yiyun couldn't help but laugh, and so did Captain Gao.

"But we've taken down the puppet troops here, so we have no choice!"

Captain Gao quickly discovered something was wrong and couldn't help but say to Liu Yiyun.

"Ok!"

Liu Yiyun nodded and said, "We don't have any more here, so I plan to pull the troops out and cooperate with the Second and Fourth Detachments."

"However, we can't leave all the troops. We have to leave one behind."

As soon as Liu Yiyun said this, Captain Gao understood instantly and said with a smile, "Then I will stay with the supplementary team!"

"The replacement regiment just received a batch of weapons, equipment, and ammunition. There are more than 2,500 of them, no more, no less."

"The goal is not too big, so you don't have to worry about not having enough strength to do something."

Hearing what Captain Gao said, Liu Yiyun followed up, "Old Gao, I'll leave you an artillery company."

"I plan to take a break and leave in the evening."

"We discovered that the puppet army was the breakthrough point this time. The Japanese are not stupid either. They are likely to change their tactics as well."

"So we set off earlier, and set off earlier with the second and fourth teams."

"In a joint operation, even if the Japanese and puppet troops undergo some changes, with the advantage in numbers, it is not impossible to wipe out a small Japanese independent mixed brigade."

As soon as Liu Yiyun said this, Captain Gao understood that Liu Yiyun was targeting the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade of Zhuozi County.

"Okay, Lao Liu!"

"I have no objection!" Captain Gao had no objection and nodded immediately to show that he understood.

The two commanders of the first team reached an agreement, and Liu Yiyun led the main force of the first team to jump out and cooperate with the second and fourth teams.

Commander Gao took the 120th Division's supplementary regiment and stayed where he was to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops there.

While one team was resting during the day, the other teams were also fighting on their own, attacking one after another, and were not idle at all.

With the advice from the division headquarters, everyone had the same goal, which was to focus on the pseudo-Mongolian army.

Although the Japanese reacted quickly, they didn't expect that Chu Feng and his men's orders would arrive earlier.

Yuan County!

"Good guy!"

"These guys, seeing an easy target, are all willing to risk their lives!"

"Don't you want to take a break?"

"In the space of a whole day, we killed more than 3,000 pseudo-Mongol troops."

“It’s not a large number of people, but the efficiency is incredible.”

Looking at the new reward, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, these not-so-precious ordinary rewards can be withdrawn.

next day!

At the headquarters of the second detachment, Liu Yiyun led more than 3,000 main forces of the first detachment to join the second detachment.

"Old Liu, the Japanese and puppet troops have really changed their formation!"

The captain of the second team, Zeng Erniu, said to Liu Yiyun with a smile.

"Hehehe!"

Hearing Zeng Erniu's words, Liu Yiyun chuckled and said, "Tell me, Lao Zeng, what do you think?"

"Are you interested in doing something big?"

Zeng Erniu didn't waste any words when he heard this. He said directly, "Of course there is. It's just a small Japanese independent mixed brigade, only five or six thousand people."

After the two people decided on the combat objectives, they began to formulate a combat plan.

An hour later, the combat plan was approved by the division headquarters, and more than 10,000 people from the two detachments set out collectively and headed quickly towards Zhuozi County.

Zhuozi County!

After a day of rest, the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade, which had been tricked and lost five to six hundred people, set out again under the leadership of its brigade commander, Major General Umekawa.

Because the 3rd Division of the puppet Mongolian Army was wiped out, the more than 10,000 puppet troops cooperating with the 18th Brigade were suddenly isolated.

As for the other Japanese and puppet troops in Guisui City, they were circling in the Daqing Mountains with the Fourth Detachment and part of the First Detachment.

This resulted in the Japanese puppet army, which originally had the largest number of troops, becoming a lone force consisting of the 18th Brigade.

12 o'clock in the morning, 15 kilometers away from Zhuozi County.

The 18th Independent Mixed Brigade was forced to stop again and was once again blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops.

"idiot!!!"

Seeing the Eighth Route Army who fought back and then turned around and ran away, Major General Meichuan was furious!

They had set out at seven in the morning, and five hours had already passed.

Even though the mountain road was difficult to walk on, we walked less than fifteen kilometers in five hours.

The speed of progress is three kilometers per hour.

Even if we climb, it will take more than an hour to cover this distance!

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the vanguard has sent news that the Eighth Route Army has retreated, and we have suffered eighteen casualties."

Just when Major General Meichuan looked gloomy, a Japanese soldier hurried over to report.

"Bagya Road!!"

"It's the work of a guerrilla fighter, not a warrior!"

"You only know how to attack by surprise and use shady tactics. If you're brave enough, let's have a real fight!"

Hearing this small but disturbing number of casualties, Major General Meichuan couldn't help but criticize the Eighth Route Army angrily.

But at this time, no one said anything, because not only Major General Meichuan was angry, but they were also angry.

"Commander, if we continue to march at this speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Liangcheng."

At this time, a young Japanese soldier stepped forward and said, "I'm afraid we'll have to stay in Yushu Township tonight!"

We advanced 15 kilometers in five hours, and Zhuozi County is fifty or sixty kilometers away from Liangcheng.

According to their original plan, they would set out in the morning and arrive in Liangcheng in the evening.

After a night's rest, they will be able to meet up with the defenders of Liangcheng on the next day, and then cooperate with the defenders of other counties to carry out a major sweep of this area.

But now, I walk 3 kilometers in an hour, and in six hours in the afternoon, I can only walk half the distance, 18 kilometers.

What a joke!

"idiot!"

Major General Meichuan became even more annoyed. He looked at the winding mountain road ahead and frowned.

"What are the Tubalu going to do?"

He had not received any telegram asking for help, which meant that the Eighth Route Army had not launched an attack on the surrounding troops.

But the Eighth Route Army did not allow them to march properly and kept obstructing them. There must be a deeper meaning behind this.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, is there any possibility that the Tubalu are coming for us?"

Just as Major General Meichuan was thinking about the deeper meaning of the Eighth Route Army's actions, the Colonel Chief of Staff suddenly thought of something and spoke.

"Coming for us?"

Upon hearing this, Major General Meichuan was stunned, obviously not understanding what the Chief of Staff meant.

The Colonel Chief of Staff, who felt he had guessed the Eighth Route Army's intentions, smiled and said, "The Eighth Route Army is likely to hinder our marching speed and prevent us from reaching Liangcheng."

"We can only spend the night in the mountains or in towns and villages. Compared with the defense capabilities of the county town, the towns and villages are naturally much weaker."

"When the time comes, they will use the cover of darkness to launch an attack on us."

"Even if they can't take us down, they'll prevent us from getting a good rest."

"We've been traveling all day, and if we don't get enough rest at night, we'll be exhausted the next day, which will give them an opportunity to annihilate us."

"Of course, I also know that the Eighth Route Army doesn't have the ability to take us down."

"But after a night of harassment, we arrived in Liangcheng the next day and had to rest for a day, otherwise we would not be able to fight at all."

"I think the Tubalu used this method to delay as much time as possible."

It has to be said that the Japanese were not fools. They guessed that the Eighth Route Army might be targeting them, but their arrogance once again made them miss the truth.

"well!"

Hearing the Chief of Staff's speculation, Major General Meichuan's eyes lit up: "Chief of Staff, your speculation is very likely. The Eighth Route Army thinks that we have no choice but to use this method to delay the time for us to launch a large-scale sweep."

"idiot!"

Major General Meichuan couldn't help but curse, "These Eighth Route Army soldiers only know how to do these little tricks."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "Order the First Battalion to split into two."

"The first and second squadrons are the vanguard, and the remaining troops are support forces."

"The vanguard troops are being attacked and harassed. The support troops will immediately attack and outflank from the left and right. We must increase our speed."

"We must not fall into the Tubalu's scheme. We must reach Liangcheng tonight."

Following the order from Major General Umekawa, the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade began to change its formation.

The stagnant troops set out again and after walking for another ten minutes, they heard the sounds of gunfire and explosions.

This time, the captain of the 1st Battalion immediately led his troops to encircle the enemy from both sides.

"This little devil has learned his lesson!"

A company commander of the second detachment looked at the reaction of the Japanese troops and said to his partner with a smile.

"hehe!"

Hearing the company commander's words, his partner chuckled, "After all, we walked fifteen kilometers in the morning, three kilometers an hour. Who wouldn't be furious?"

"Just learn it well!"

"Our mission of attracting fire and blocking the Japanese troops has been accomplished."

"The detachment headquarters sent a telegram saying that the ambush position has been established."

Having said that, the two men waved to the troops and disappeared directly into the surrounding mountains and forests, leaving no chance for the Japanese to surround and distract them.

The Japanese didn't know about the conversation between the company commander and the deputy company commander of the second detachment.

"well!"

Major General Meichuan saw that the troops only paused for a moment due to the change in formation, and then set off again in just a minute or two. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Just do it!"

"Speed ​​up the march, we must reach Liangcheng today!"

Major General Meichuan felt that he had found a way to restrain the Eighth Route Army, but he also felt that the Eighth Route Army could not do anything to him.

He waved his hand with high spirits, and the Japanese soldiers set off again, their steps much lighter.

At this time, in Dongyingzi Village, five kilometers away.

More than 10,000 people from the first and second detachments are setting up an ambush position here.

The two detachments, with sixty or seventy artillery pieces, also built artillery positions, with their muzzles pointing directly at the ambush positions.

"Old Liu, the harassing troops have sent back a message. The Japanese troops are getting anxious and have started changing their formation and marching at full speed."

Captain Zeng Erniu of the second detachment smiled and handed a telegram to Liu Yiyun beside him.

"Hehehe!"

Hearing Zeng Erniu's words, Liu Yiyun chuckled and said, "Let's speed up. Our ambush position has been established anyway."

Having said that, he looked at his watch.

"The Japanese troops are less than five kilometers away from us. With our harassment, they will arrive in an hour at most."

"There are over 5,400 Japanese troops. If everything goes well, the battle can be over in an hour and a half."

"After cleaning up the battlefield, we'll be back just in time for dinner." Having said that, Liu Yiyun handed Zeng Erniu a cigarette.

He lit the cigarette, took a puff, and said with great satisfaction, "We completely wiped out an independent mixed brigade. Our two detachments are considered to have taken the lead."

"In this anti-mopping-up battle, no one can be more powerful than our two detachments."

"After we return, won't our commander give us some kind of reward?"

Hearing Liu Yiyun's words, Zeng Erniu also showed a hint of anticipation and said, "I heard that our division has just received a batch of automatic artillery, and they are the same 155 caliber ones that the division commander sold to the foreign devils last time."

"We've seen the power of this artillery last time. Let's try our best and see if we can divide this batch of automatic artillery equally between our two brigades."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyun didn't even bother to smoke his cigarette. He looked at me like I was a fool and said, "What the hell are you thinking?"

"There are only so many automatic artillery pieces in this batch. How could the division commander possibly give them to us?"

"It must be from the Heavy Tank Armored Brigade."

"I don't have your ambition. I just want to give our brigade some places for further training and some rocket launchers."

Time passed little by little, and the main forces of the first and second teams were waiting silently in Dongyingzi Village.

As time went on, the short and rapid sounds of gunfire and explosions grew closer and closer.

Almost forty minutes passed.

When the time came to 12:20, we finally saw the vanguard of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade 18.

“Here it comes!!!!”

Liu Yiyun shouted excitedly, and Zeng Erniu also came to his side.

Under everyone's gaze, the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade 18th marched into the defensive position without any warning.

The vanguard troops have rushed into Dongyingzi Village.

This village has been deserted for a long time and is in a dilapidated state, so no one has any psychological burden.

"Report to the detachment commander, the Japs have all entered the ambush position."

Soon, a combat staff officer came to report.

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this order, Captain Liu Yiyun of the First Detachment and Zeng Erniu of the Second Detachment looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"Order the troops to attack!"

Liu Yiyun ordered in a deep voice.

Although the second team has the most people here, the commander is still the captain of the first team, Liu Yiyun, and Zeng Erniu did not compete with him.

Following Liu Yiyun's order, the troops that had been prepared opened fire at the same time.

The explosive packs and mines buried in the village and on the roads were detonated, and loud explosions were heard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

Faced with the sudden artillery fire, violent explosions and gunfire, Major General Meichuan subconsciously rolled off his horse.

Lying on the ground, his mind was blank, leaving only one thought: "Baga, are these Tubalu coming for me?!!!!"
