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

"I heard that the Eighth Route Army is going to conduct a joint interview with the 1st Independent Division?"

"Did you receive an invitation?"

"What? You didn't invite me either? Aren't you the core newspaper of the National Government?"

"Can you find someone? We also want to participate in this joint interview!"

"I heard that not only the Eighth Route Army and the 1st Independent Division, but also some foreign newspapers have it!"

"Let's go find the 1st Independent Division and ask to participate in this joint interview."

"..."

As the incident of the gold nugget came to an end, before the reporters had even left Yuan County, a rumor spread.

For a time, the entire Yuan County was in an uproar because of this news, and all the reporters, as well as people from various countries and forces, were in an uproar.

"Master!"

Li Mingqiang hurriedly found Chu Feng, with a somewhat excited expression on his face, and said: "According to your arrangement, as the relevant information was released, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized."

"Now everyone is looking for us and asking to participate in this joint interview."

"At the same time, people from many organizations and forces came to me to inquire about various news."

At this point, Li Mingqiang looked at Chu Feng and asked with a smile: "What should we do? Continue the meeting? Or let in some reporters who were not included in the plan?"

Hearing Li Mingqiang's question, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "No need!"

"Let's continue with what we arranged."

"As for the reporters' request? Let them wait. After our joint report is released, we will invite them to our meritorious service conference."

Chu Feng said this with a smug smile, "I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm going to show my cards!"

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Li Mingqiang and Wang Tiezhu both laughed.

They have been waiting for this day for a while.

After laughing, Chu Feng thought of something and looked at Wang Tiezhu beside him and asked, "Tiezhu, how is the meritorious service conference going?"

"Have all the troops behind enemy lines been successfully withdrawn? Also, have those award-winning Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers arrived?"

Hearing Chu Feng's question, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu hurriedly said, "Division Commander, the eight combat detachments behind enemy lines have all been successfully withdrawn."

"The preparations for the meritorious service conference are nearing completion, and the relevant meritorious personnel are on their way."

"The Eighth Route Army personnel are also on their way. They will all be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

At this point, Wang Tiezhu paused and said, "However, Division Commander, the construction of the Martyrs' Cemetery has not yet been completed, so I'm afraid we won't be able to hold this ceremony to honor the fallen officers and soldiers."

"Ok!"

Wang Tiezhu's answer made Chu Feng nod slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There's no rush for this. There's no rush for the martyrs' cemetery. Once it's built, we'll hold a grand memorial ceremony for the fallen officers and soldiers."

"How about this, the interview will be arranged for the day after tomorrow, and the meritorious service conference will be held the day after tomorrow."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Wang Tiezhu and asked, "Is this arrangement okay with the time?"

"No problem, no problem!"

Wang Tiezhu quickly waved his hand and said, "Commander, this arrangement is fine."

"Row!"

This matter was finalized, and time passed little by little.

These reporters, as well as personnel from related organizations and forces, including the Second War Zone and the Nationalist government, were not in a hurry to evacuate.

On the one hand, everyone was very curious about what Chu Feng and the Eighth Route Army were going to do.

On the other hand, they all received requests from the 1st Independent Division to attend and observe the meritorious service ceremony.

time flies!

The joint interview took place as scheduled the day before the meritorious service conference.

However, Chu Feng did not participate in this interview.

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu, Li Mingqiang, a leader of the Eighth Route Army's headquarters, and Commander Yang of the First Military Sub-district of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region attended the meeting.

Early in the morning on the day of the meritorious service meeting.

At 8 a.m., the Eighth Route Army and the 1st Independent Division simultaneously announced the results of two months of fighting behind enemy lines in clear text telegrams.

We captured one Japanese lieutenant general and one major general, and killed one Japanese major general.

An independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army was completely destroyed.

More than 18,000 Japanese soldiers were killed.

Twenty-one thousand puppet Mongolian troops were killed, and the 3rd Division of the puppet Mongolian Army was completely wiped out.

At the same time, the telegram also reported that the Japanese commander of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Okamoto, committed suicide at the Zhangjiakou headquarters due to the defeat in the war.

Along with the release of the telegram, the Eighth Route Army, the 1st Independent Division, and newspapers from the invited countries also introduced these things in more detail in their newspapers that day.

In addition to these achievements, there is also the content of yesterday's interview.

This news came so suddenly~!

The entire Chinese people were stunned by the news.

As everyone knows, some time ago, the Eighth Route Army announced that they had captured a Japanese lieutenant general.

And this lieutenant general is still in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Both the Second War Zone and the National Government are still communicating with the Eighth Route Army, trying to get this Japanese lieutenant general back.

Now, everyone realized that there was not only a lieutenant general, but also a major general.

"Oh my god! There's even a Japanese major general!!!"

"Hahaha, the little devils still have this day!!"

"That's what I was wondering. How come these battles are taking place so close to the 1st Independent Division, and General Chu Feng has no reaction at all?"

“Hahaha!!! I have to have a drink today!!!”

"The war of resistance must be won! The war of resistance must be won!!!"

"Including the lieutenant general who committed suicide, this time, we killed four Japanese generals in one fell swoop!"

"Two lieutenant generals and two major generals!"

"Hahaha, they even wiped out an independent mixed brigade."

"Long live General Chu Feng!!!"

"Long live the Eighth Route Army!!!"

"God bless China!!!"

"..."

The whole of China is boiling!

The common people in the occupied areas are a little slow in getting the news, but the war zones and the rear areas can constantly hear the sound of your firecrackers and the cheers of your fellow villagers.

The 1st Independent Division has always been the center of public opinion in the country, whether it is its usual combat performance or the national treasure incident that just ended two days ago.

Second World War Zone, Commander-in-Chief's Headquarters.

“I don’t know what to say!!!”

Yan Laokou listened to the broadcast, his face full of emotion, and said, "I think we should strengthen our cooperation with the 1st Independent Division."

"After all, Chu Feng is also from our Jin Province, so we are fellow villagers."

After hearing what Yan Laokou said, some high-ranking officials of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army and high-ranking officials of the Shanxi Provincial Government who had hurried over all nodded in agreement.

"Sir, I wholeheartedly agree."

A lieutenant general smiled and said, "Since we purchased weapons and equipment from Chu Feng, the strength of our Jinsui Army has been improved after these weapons and equipment were delivered."

"So I strongly agree to strengthen cooperation with General Chu Feng's 1st Independent Division."

As the lieutenant general finished speaking, another lieutenant general followed suit, saying, "Yes, especially our cooperation with the 1st Independent Division's 1st Air Brigade. We should intensify it."

"We haven't mentioned it since our last collaboration ended. We've been under a lot of pressure during this period."

"Before, with the presence of the 1st Air Brigade, the Japanese planes were much more docile. Now they are becoming arrogant again."
