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

After the celebration meeting ended, the whole of China was discussing this grand celebration meeting.

Yuan County, in a room at the headquarters of the 1st Independent Division.

Chu Feng, Wang Tiezhu, Ge Dayong and Li Mingqiang sat together.

"Commander, Yan Laokou from the Second War Zone asked General Zhao to contact me."

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu looked at Chu Feng and said with a smile, "Didn't we cooperate with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army before? Didn't Mr. Yan spend money to send our 1st Air Brigade to cooperate with them in ground combat?"

"However, since the last cooperation ended, Yan Laokou hasn't mentioned it again. Maybe he feels a little sorry for the money."

"This time, General Zhao said the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wants to restart this cooperation."

Hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Chu Feng and the other two laughed.

"This old Yan is so stingy and sloppy in his work." Ge Dayong laughed and complained, "He's the epitome of a local tycoon from Jin Province."

At this point, Ge Dayong looked at Chu Feng and said, "Commander, you are also from Jin Province, why don't you look stingy?"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Ge Dayong's complaints and inquiries, Chu Feng laughed heartily: "There are many different kinds of people, and even though we're all from Shanxi Province, not all of us are stingy."

After saying that, Chu Feng looked at Wang Tiezhu and said, "You can handle this matter as you see fit. We can cooperate, but we can still follow the previous agreement."

"Anyway, with the presence of our 1st Air Brigade, most of Shanxi Province, Suiyuan Province, Chahar Province, and northern Hebei Province have become no-fly zones for the Japanese air force."

"We are also training new pilots. It's good to train new pilots for bombing and support missions like this."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "Okay, Commander, then General Zhao and I will follow up."

Although such cooperation does not cost much money, it is a small amount for the wealthy Independent 1st Division.

But no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, so I won’t despise it.

"That's right, Commander!"

At this point, Wang Tiezhu suddenly thought of something and said, "Deputy Commander Wei of the Second War Zone wants to meet with you."

"this!"

Hearing this, Chu Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Call Deputy Commander Wei back and tell him that I'm looking forward to it, but now is not the right time."

"After this battle is over, I plan to go to the Eighth Route Army headquarters and then to the Second War Zone Headquarters."

"When the time comes, arrange for us to meet at the Second War Zone Headquarters."

Chu Feng still had great respect for this true patriotic general of the Seventh Route Army, and he was very much looking forward to meeting Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wei.

"Okay, Commander!" Wang Tiezhu nodded and recorded the matter.

After Wang Tiezhu finished speaking, Ge Dayong spoke up and took out some information and intelligence he had brought with him.

"Commander, it seems the Japs can no longer hold back!"

"Our intelligence personnel discovered that two divisions of the Kwantung Army have entered the interior of China and are now gathering outside Peking."

"These two divisions are both permanent divisions, with a combined strength of nearly 50,000 men."

"In terms of artillery, the troops have changed and are mainly equipped with 75mm mountain and field guns."

"However, on top of the original four battalions of the artillery regiment, one more artillery battalion will be added."

"Each artillery regiment has gone from 48 guns to 60 guns."

At this point, Ge Dayong took the intelligence in his hand, looked at it, and continued, "At the same time, the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army has just added two regiments of new soldiers, plus an artillery regiment."

"This artillery regiment is equipped with 38 Meiji 38-year-old 105mm field guns."

"In addition, the North China Front Army has one Type A division, two three-unit divisions, two independent mixed brigades, and one heavy artillery brigade."

"These troops of the North China Front Army were formed by the Japanese using reserve forces drawn from the country."

"Their combat effectiveness is not as good as the two divisions of the Kwantung Army, but their weapons and equipment are very good."

"Among them, the heavy artillery brigade has two artillery regiments, one equipped with the Japanese's new Type 96 150mm heavy artillery, and the other equipped with Type 96 240mm heavy howitzers."

"Forty Type 40 150mm heavy guns and twenty Type 20 240mm heavy howitzers were deployed."

"The North China Front Army's permanent divisions had the same weapons and equipment as the Kwantung Army. Their artillery regiments were reinforced regiments equipped with 60 guns."

"As for the two three-unit divisions, the artillery squadrons will be upgraded to reinforced artillery battalions."

"They are all equipped with Meiji 38-year-old 105mm field guns, a total of 18 guns."

"There are no changes to the two independent mixed brigades."

Listening to Ge Dayong's words, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "This little devil has spent a lot of money!"

"We know that our 1st Independent Division has strong firepower, especially artillery."

"They've also increased the number and caliber of their artillery this time. In particular, having suffered losses in artillery range, they've opted not to equip small-caliber artillery this time."

At this point, Chu Feng showed a disdainful smile and said: "However, the Japs' idea is good, but they don't know the number of artillery we have now."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu, Li Mingqiang and Ge Dayong all laughed.

Like Chu Feng, they knew that the Japanese were making a lot of noise, especially their firepower was even stronger, but the Independent 1st Division was no pushover either.

Everyone knows their own strength.

"Division Commander, in addition to the ground forces, the Japanese air force is also under our close attention."

Ge Dayong's voice rang out again, saying, "We all know that the Japanese bought a large number of aircraft from Hans and Mishima."

"These aircraft have been training all the time, and this is our preliminary count."

"We purchased approximately three hundred new aircraft from Hans and Mishima."

"In addition, they have prepared more than 200 aircraft of their own production."

Hearing Ge Dayong's words, without Chu Feng saying anything, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu smiled and said, "The Japs' air force is nothing to be afraid of."

"It sounds like there are over 500 aircraft, but the aircraft they purchased are still different from ours."

"Now, our 1st Air Brigade has eliminated all of the Russian aircraft and replaced them with our own."

"Some time ago, the division commander bought 25 more. Now we have 210 La-7 fighters and 100 P-47 fighters."

"Although we have fewer planes than the Japanese, we can still defeat three of them with one."

It’s not that Wang Tiezhu is arrogant, but when he went to inspect the 1st Air Force Brigade, he chatted with the officers and soldiers of the 1st Air Force Brigade.

Compared with the specific parameters of their own La-7 fighter jets and P-47 fighter jets, which are only known to the Japanese themselves, the relevant parameters of the aircraft purchased by the Japanese from Hans and Mishima countries have been made public.

to be frank!

The aircraft of Mishima Country and Hans Country are indeed unique among all the aircraft in the world.

But there is still a big difference compared to the La-7 fighters and P-47 fighters of the 1st Air Brigade.

It can be said that the battle of the ground forces still needs to be fought first, and the uncertainty is how long it will take.

But in terms of the Air Force, once the battle started, it was definitely the 1st Air Brigade that would win, and the Japanese Air Force had no chance.

The 1st Air Brigade is now the world's number one in fighter jets. If there is a weakness, it may be its bombers.

However, this shortcoming is only temporary, and the production lines purchased by the United States are gradually returning.

Once the aviation industrial park completes the production line, we will be able to produce bombers ourselves.

"Division Commander, in addition to the Japanese, the 10 newly trained puppet troops are also being rapidly reorganized."

Ge Dayong's voice rang out again, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly: "According to reports from our infiltrated personnel, it should be over in another week."

"Accepted. They also received news that after the reorganization is completed, they will be sent to Peking or the Mongolian garrison area."

As soon as Ge Dayong finished speaking, Li Mingqiang, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and said, "Commander, Dayong mentioned these puppet troops."

"We've implemented a chicken-and-egg scheme, and with our financial support, 21 people have become deputy division commanders, division chiefs of staff, brigade commanders, and deputy brigade commanders."

"There are 124 people at the regimental and battalion level, 298 at the company level, and the rest are mostly squad leaders and platoon leaders."

"As long as we take the lead in the uprising, the 100,000 puppet troops can bring back at least 60,000 people."

"It can be said that every one of these newly established puppet army units has our personnel."

Hearing Li Mingqiang's words, Chu Feng laughed: "Hahaha, not bad, not bad, this is really good news."

"I really want to see what that old devil Terauchi Juichi's expression will be like when the battle begins and more than half of the 100,000 Japanese and puppet troops revolt on the battlefield."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, the three partners also laughed. They were also looking forward to seeing how angry the Japanese would be if this situation really happened.

At this time, Ge Dayong concluded: "The unusual movements of the Japanese and puppet troops mean that the decisive battle between us is imminent."

"We'll have to wait for at most half a month until the Japanese and puppet troops are ready to deploy."

Having said that, Ge Dayong looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Commander, what do we need to do now?"

"The movement of the Japanese and puppet troops will soon be discovered. When that happens, there will surely be a wave of public opinion. How should we respond?"

As soon as Ge Dayong asked this question, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu and Li Mingqiang both focused their eyes on Chu Feng. They were also looking forward to what Chu Feng would do.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Ge Dayong's question and feeling the gazes of his partners, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "How to deal with it? Of course, we should deal with it actively!"

"As for public opinion, those monsters and demons will definitely jump out and criticize us crazily."

"Don't think too much about it. These monsters will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"So my idea is just to ignore it and let them run wild."

At this point, Chu Feng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain, and said: "The more they jump around now, the greater the damage we will cause to them when we win."

"More importantly, the traitors who have been hiding themselves, not showing their true colors, will also jump out at this time if they think we are no longer able to do so."

"By then, we will be able to identify the traitors who are hiding deeper."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Old Li, you arrange for someone to carefully identify those who are hiding deeper during this period of time."

"After the battle is over, we will settle accounts with them one by one."

"Although our 1st Independent Division doesn't proactively provoke others, not everyone can come up and slander us."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, the three partners' eyes lit up, and they strongly agreed with this arrangement.

"Commander, how do we settle the accounts?"

Wang Tiezhu was even more eager to try and asked: "How about, after the battle, we arrange someone to give these to them." At this point, Wang Tiezhu made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"can!"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded when he heard this. "We don't have time to play with these traitors. We'll find a crime and put them all in jail. We'll give them a proper lesson first, collect evidence, and then conduct a public trial."

At this point, Chu Feng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these scum."

"We don't need to do anything to respond to the actions of the Japanese and puppet troops. We just need to do our own thing."

"However, we must always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese air force."

"Before the battle begins, we will send out the 1st Air Brigade to wipe them out directly."

"We must seize control of the air. Once we have control of the air, the Japanese and puppet troops will be at our mercy."

Having said that, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Old Li, contact the Eighth Route Army. Let's build a temporary airport at the Eighth Route Army's base."

"It would be best if it could be built within a week, and the address could be in central Hebei or southeastern Shanxi."

"The Japanese have learned their lesson this time. They have deployed their aircraft in East China, Central China, Shandong, Henan and other places."

"Several temporary airfields will be built, each of which can temporarily accommodate two fighter squadrons."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Li Mingqiang nodded vigorously and said, "Commander, no problem, I will contact the leaders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in a moment."

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded slightly when he heard this. He looked at Wang Tiezhu beside him and said, "Tiezhu, during this time, you should organize the garrisons in various places."

"Once the battle between us and the Japanese and puppet troops begins, it will be a decisive one."

"We will take advantage of the situation to recapture the entire Suiyuan Province, Chahar Province, and part of Rehe Province."

"When the time comes, the main force will be fighting in the front. These local garrison regiments and internal security regiments will follow behind the main force, responsible for maintaining stability in the recovered areas, and clearing out and eliminating bandits and other armed forces."

Speaking of bandits and horse bandits, Chu Fengyou said to Wang Tiezhu, "You should collect more information on bandits and horse bandits. The bandits in Suiyuan Province are very arrogant."

"Once we have taken these territories, we will have the local garrisons immediately launch a campaign to suppress the bandits and horse bandits."

"When the time comes, we can join forces with the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army of the Second War Zone."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Commander, I understand!"
