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

"call!"

Because the railway was destroyed, the Japanese Lieutenant General Chief of Staff quickly left the Mongolian Army Headquarters in a car.

Looking at Zhangjiakou getting farther and farther away, the Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Baga, damn, I finally crawled out of this pit."

After saying that, he turned to the driver and said, "Hurry up, work faster!"

The entire convoy, three cars, a dozen troop-carrying trucks, and tanker trucks carrying gasoline supplies, sped along the highway towards Beijing.

The departure of the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff did not cause any commotion.

However, as soon as he came out with more than a hundred Japanese soldiers and drove a dozen cars, he was targeted by the people from the Third Detachment.

"Company Commander, this convoy is so luxurious!"

A platoon leader of a company of the third detachment lying on the ridge was looking through binoculars while speaking to the company commander beside him.

"Ok!"

Hearing the platoon leader's words, the company commander nodded slightly and said, "They didn't pull any supplies. They were all Japanese. They must be protecting a big shot of the Japanese."

At this point, the captain suddenly became interested and said, "Let our men open their eyes and observe carefully to see if there is any big fish in this convoy."

"Yes!" Without the platoon leader saying anything, the senior staff officer next to him responded, turned around and went downstairs to deliver the order with a walkie-talkie.

Three kilometers away, a sniper team was lying in ambush on both sides of the road. The observer was watching the oncoming convoy with a telescope, while the sniper was observing through the sniper scope.

Suddenly, the convoy stopped, and an old Japanese soldier wearing a Japanese general's uniform and two gold stars on his head got out of the car.

"Um?!!!"

The sniper and the observer were all stunned, their eyes focused on the old Japanese soldier.

"Good fellow, the little Japanese lieutenant general!"

The two of them subconsciously murmured in surprise, and then the sniper's voice sounded, saying, "How about we do something?"

Hearing the sniper's words, the observer was a little moved, but still shook his head and said, "Goodbye, we will report this news."

"pity!!!"

The sniper felt a little sorry after hearing what his partner said.

Then the sniper continued to observe, while the observer retreated and began to report with a walkie-talkie.

"Captain, our people report that there is a Japanese convoy coming from the direction of Zhangjiakou."

"There are about 130 Japanese soldiers, equipped with 3 heavy machine guns and 12 light machine guns."

"We found traces of a Japanese lieutenant general in a car. Our people identified him as the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army."

In the temporary headquarters of the Third Detachment, the captain of the Third Detachment, Zhang Dapao, was discussing something with the people around him.

Upon hearing this, the discussion stopped immediately and everyone looked at the operations staff.

"Lieutenant General Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army?"

Zhang Dapao muttered, his eyes gleaming, "Old Liu and Old Zeng are both unscrupulous and have no moral principles. They've joined forces to fight together."

"First they took the 3rd Division of the puppet Mongolian Army, and now they're taking the 18th Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese."

"Our third team missed the initial opportunity and has only been fighting small battles."

"Now a good opportunity has finally arrived, hahahaha!"

Zhang Dapao laughed and said, "Send a telegram to the 8th Company, and tell them to find a suitable position and terrain to destroy this Japanese army."

"If we can capture him, that would be great. If not, killing him is fine."

"Anyway, after taking out a Japanese lieutenant general, our Third Squadron isn't too far behind the First and Second Squadrons."

At this point, Zhang Dapao paused for a moment and continued, "Send another telegram to the Second and Third Battalions, asking them to move towards the direction of the Eighth Company."

Following Zhang Dapao's order, the Eighth Company, which had discovered the Japanese Lieutenant General's Chief of Staff, immediately took action.

Half an hour later!

In a small valley, a small ambush was launched on the spur of the moment.

More than 130 Japanese soldiers, no matter how good their weapons and equipment were, faced a company of the Independent 1st Division, and they had the advantage of the first move.

Not enough!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the explosion of pre-buried explosive packs and mines, more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns, plus grenade launchers, 60mm mortars, and 82mm mortar shells joined the battlefield.

"idiot!!!"

The Lieutenant General Chief of Staff, who was in the car with his eyes closed, resting and thinking about something, was awakened by the explosion.

He subconsciously jumped out of the car door quickly, wanting to use the car as cover.

Because they wanted to capture the enemy alive, all the light and heavy machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers, mortars and the like were kept away from the car.

"idiot!"

"Send a telegram quickly and tell them we were ambushed by the Tubalu!"

The battle-hardened Lieutenant General Chief of Staff had a serious expression on his face and immediately gave orders to those around him.

"I'm ordering the troops to build defensive positions with vehicles and wait for reinforcements to arrive."

"This place is only a dozen kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, and the nearest stronghold is only five or six kilometers away. We can hold on for half an hour and reinforcements will arrive."

The Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff had a good idea, but what he encountered was not the Eighth Route Army, but the Independent 1st Division.

The battle took less than five minutes from outbreak to end.

The Japanese soldiers had no power to resist throughout the whole process and were suppressed and beaten!

As for relying on your car as cover? Sorry!

Which is harder, the car or the shell?

Grenade launchers, 60mm and 82mm mortars, operated by artillery, accurately bombarded these vehicles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Instead of serving as shelters, more than a dozen trucks became large explosive packs that harvested the lives of the Japanese devils.

Especially the tanker truck, no artillery shells were needed, just two heavy machine guns fired at it.

A tanker truck carrying half a truck of gasoline exploded directly. The violent blast wave made it impossible to see any living creature within a radius of 100 meters.

"Dead yet?"

After dealing with the last Japanese soldier, the Eighth Company immediately began to clean up the battlefield.

The captain of the eighth company, who arrived a step later, asked expectantly.

"not dead!"

Hearing the company commander's question, a squad leader from the Eighth Company grinned and said, "A car exploded, and the shock wave knocked him unconscious."

As he said that, the squad leader went up and slapped the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff in the face. The severe pain made the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff slowly wake up from his coma.

"Nani?"

After waking up, the Lieutenant General Chief of Staff looked at the troops surrounding him who were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. He was stunned at first, and then his face changed drastically.

"Eighth Route Army? Tubalu!!!"

"I was captured?!!!"

Looking at the dumbfounded Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff, the eighth company commander smiled happily, waved his hand, and said, "Tie him up for me, don't let him die."

"Clean up the battlefield quickly and retreat!"

Following the order from the company commander, the officers and soldiers of the company immediately got busy.

In less than ten minutes, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and hurriedly evacuated carrying the captured weapons and equipment, including a radio and a Japanese lieutenant general's command sword.

Twenty minutes later, a panting troop of more than a hundred Japanese and puppet troops hurried over.

The Japanese second lieutenant leading the team looked at the situation on the battlefield and his expression changed.

He immediately said, "Hurry up, find His Excellency the Lieutenant General!"

The Japanese and puppet troops, who had barely caught their breath, began to search hurriedly, but as soon as they moved, explosions were heard.

Booby trap!

This thing is mainly characterized by high cost performance!

Whether there are dates or not, let’s hit them with a stick first.

Apparently, the booby trap worked this time.

Seeing more than a dozen of his men injured by booby traps, the Japanese second lieutenant's face became even uglier.

“Bagya Road!!!”

He couldn't help but curse and said, "Everyone, pay attention and clear the booby traps first."

After the order was issued, the Japanese and puppet troops rescued the wounded while tying up corpses or car wreckage with ropes and continuously clearing possible booby traps.

At this time, the Japanese reinforcements from Zhangjiakou also arrived.

There were about five or six hundred people, including the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army, the Major General Chief of Staff and a group of old Japanese soldiers.

"Have you found His Excellency the Lieutenant General?"

After the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army arrived, he asked with an anxious look on his face.

"Report to the Commander, nothing was found!"

The Japanese second lieutenant couldn't help but bite the bullet and report, "We didn't find the body of the lieutenant general."

"Nani?!!!"

This answer surprised the old Japanese soldiers, including the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army and the Major General Chief of Staff.

"Why are there no bodies? Why are there no bodies?"

"Even if the Eighth Route Army killed His Excellency the Lieutenant General, they would only take away his command knife and other things. What do they want the body for?" When saying this, the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army sounded a little excited.

But at the same time, a bad idea came to his mind.

"Could it be that the Chief of Staff has been captured?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army shook his head and thought to himself: "Impossible, impossible, impossible!"

"Even if the Lieutenant General saw that the situation was not right, he would rather commit suicide than be captured."

"The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire, the generals of the Great Japanese Empire, only died on the battlefield, not taken prisoner."

Thinking of this, the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army roared: "Find him for me! I want him to be found alive or dead!"

"idiot!!!"

He is a little overwhelmed now. A lieutenant general was killed by the Eighth Route Army in his own territory and his body was nowhere to be found.

If he died, he would be dead, but if he was captured, then it would be a serious matter.

He will inevitably be held accountable by the headquarters. It won't cause him to lose his job, but his promotion will definitely be affected.

Looking at the angry commander, the Japanese troops immediately began searching and soon found the direction of the Eighth Company's retreat.

At this time, more and more Japanese and puppet troops came over.

At the command of the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army, more than a thousand Japanese and puppet troops were assembled and pursued in the direction of the Eighth Company's retreat.

At this time, the commander of the Eighth Company had already met up with the Second and Third Battalions of the Third Detachment.

"Haha, damn, Huzi, well done!"

The second battalion commander looked at the eighth company commander and smiled brightly.

The Eighth Company is from the Second Battalion.

The Eighth Company captured a Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff. How could the Second Battalion Commander not be excited?

Of course, in addition to being a company of the Second Battalion of the Third Detachment, the Eighth Company Commander is also a subordinate of the Second Battalion Commander in the Guard Regiment of the 1st Independent Division.

The third battalion commander was a little envious, but that was all envy.

There will be plenty of opportunities to fight the Japanese in the future. Isn't he just a Japanese general?

"This is the Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff!"

The second and third battalion commanders, as well as other company commanders, came to the tied-up Japanese lieutenant general, and the second battalion commander asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Hearing the battalion commander's question, the eighth company commander smiled and said, "Originally, I had no hope of capturing him alive, but unexpectedly, this old devil was knocked unconscious by the shock wave, giving us a chance to take advantage."

"Hahaha!"

The Eighth Company Commander's words made the Second Battalion Commander laugh happily. He said, "Okay, as long as we're prisoners, it's good. The detachment commander will definitely commend your Third Company, and even if it's reported to the division commander, it will be the same."

"Hahaha, I'm afraid that with this achievement, you can go to the military academy for further studies when you return."

"No, it's not just you. Everyone else in your Eighth Company may go to the military academy for further studies."

Upon hearing the battalion commander's words, both the Eighth Company Commander and the other members of the Eighth Company showed excited expressions.

Military academy!

Now it is the place that every commander of the 1st Independent Division looks forward to the most.

Because the Independent 1st Division has a large organization and many personnel, there are only a few vacancies.

There are two ways to go to military school now. One is a fast-track training course of three to six months.

This type of training has the largest number of people and is short-term training.

The other option is to become a student and undergo comprehensive learning for a minimum of one year and a maximum of one and a half years.

It is impossible to get promoted directly after returning from short-term training, but you will be given priority for promotion when opportunities arise in the future.

Those who have undergone long-term training will be promoted directly after returning and completing two months of internship.

In addition to these most intuitive things, the military academy’s teaching strength is there. Even if it is just a short-term training, you can feel the intuitive growth and changes after returning.

"Battalion Commander, the people behind us sent word that over a thousand Japanese and puppet troops are chasing us!"

At this moment, a combat staff officer came running over and reported loudly.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, the second and third battalion commanders looked at each other and saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.

"There are over a thousand Japanese and puppet troops. Can we just take them down once and then withdraw?"

The third battalion commander asked the second battalion commander directly.

"I think it's okay!"

The Second Battalion Commander nodded immediately and said, "We have two battalions, more than 2,000 people, which is more than enough."

"And these Japanese and puppet troops are so eager to pursue us, probably just for this old devil."

"When you're anxious, your vigilance will be lowered. This is our opportunity."

The two battalion commanders quickly reached an agreement and decided to set up an ambush on the spot and give the pursuing Japanese and puppet troops a head-on blow.

"Eighth Company Commander, take the entire platoon and escort this old devil back to the detachment headquarters!"

After the decision was made, the third battalion commander took his men to start busy building an ambush position, and the second battalion commander said to the eighth company commander.

"Yes, battalion commander!"

The captain of the eighth company also wanted to participate in this battle, but after thinking about it, he nodded.

Two minutes later, the commander of the eighth company left with a platoon and the Japanese lieutenant general chief of staff.
