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

"Leave behind a portion of the Internal Security Regiment to maintain security and patrol within our base to prevent the enemy from sabotaging at this time."

"At this time, the Japs will definitely not miss this good opportunity. They will definitely send people to cause trouble, hoping that we will lose our composure." Chu Feng showed a hint of disdain when he said this.

Then, Chu Feng continued: "Just replace them with the garrison regiment."

"At the same time, a group of unassigned recruits will be drawn out to supplement the various garrison regiments participating in the battle."

"Replenish each garrison regiment with 1000 new soldiers."

"Of the remaining recruits, leave 10,000 for the Engineer Brigade and transfer 20,000 to the Supply Corps."

"The remaining ones will be temporarily incorporated into the garrison and internal security forces that will be deployed with the main force."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu quickly took note, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, Commander!"

After recording Chu Feng's words, Wang Tiezhu put down his pen and continued, "According to our previous combat arrangements, we will fight outside the base."

"So this time is no exception. Once the time is right, we will take the lead in launching an attack."

"I have already communicated with the Eighth Route Army. Commander Yang of the First Military Sub-district of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region is also here during this period."

"If the Japanese and puppet troops come from the direction of Yuansu and Lingqiu, the First Military Sub-district and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region will do their utmost to stop the visiting Japanese and puppet troops."

Wang Tiezhu paused and said, "Secondly, we have received telegrams from various forces, including the Northern Route Army of the Second War Zone, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the National Government, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wei."

"They said that if the Japanese and puppet troops took action, they would provide us with varying degrees of support in their own way."

"Like the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Route Army, they both said they would send troops to participate in the battle."

"The Eighth Route Army is our old partner. The Eighth Route Army headquarters said they have prepared at least ten regiments for us and will support us in combat whenever we need them."

"The Northern Route Army stated that they would once again launch an attack from the Hetao area to contain the Japanese and puppet troops in Suiyuan Province."

Listening to Wang Tiezhu's words, Chu Feng and the other two nodded slightly, and the smiles on their faces softened a little.

Although they didn't care much about the Japanese and puppet troops, their Independent 1st Division could easily take them down.

But at this time, everyone is willing to help, which is also a very happy thing.

Especially on the Kuomintang side, although there were some unpleasantness between the two sides due to some things, everyone was still able to stand together when it came to major issues of right and wrong.

After reporting the specific combat arrangements, Chu Feng coughed lightly, attracting the attention of his three partners.

"Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on this battle plan?"

Wang Tiezhu was fine after hearing Chu Feng's question. After all, this battle plan was drawn up by him and the General Staff. It was the result of his hard work, so naturally he had no objection.

Li Mingqiang and Ge Dayong shook their heads and said at the same time: "Commander, we agree!"

"Row!"

After hearing what his partners said, Chu Feng smiled and nodded. He turned to look at Wang Tiezhu and said, "Now that this battle plan has been finalized, let's announce it at the battle meeting tomorrow afternoon."

Having said this, Chu Feng paused slightly, organized his words in his mind, turned to look at Ge Dayong, and said: "Dayong, this battle, you are responsible for the relevant matters and command of the Eastward Column."

"Tiezhu, you are responsible for the command of the troops in the Jin Province direction and related matters."

"Old Li, you will be stationed in Yuan County and responsible for the dispatch of supplies and the command of the local troops following the main force."

"I am responsible for the command and operations of the Mongolian garrison troops stationed in Yungang and two divisions of the Kwantung Army."

Hearing Chu Feng's arrangement, the three of them nodded vigorously and responded loudly: "Yes, Commander!"

"Ok!"

Chu Feng nodded when he heard this and said with a serious expression: "This battle is our first decisive battle with the Japanese in North China."

"If we win, we can take control of Suiyuan Province, Chahar Province, part of Rehe Province, and part of Hebei Province."

"This is very important for the development of our Independent 1st Division. We have actually always had many shortcomings in our development, the first of which is that our strategic depth is too shallow."

"If our fighting capacity was not strong enough, we would not have much room to maneuver if the Japanese attacked us."

"Secondly, the territory is too small. It's mostly mountainous, with very few plains, and it can't support too many troops and people."

"Although we have the protection of our Independent 1st Division, it has attracted many people to come here."

"But everyone knows the problem. With so many people and so little land, we can't support them. We have to rely on importing grain and other non-staple foods from abroad, which is unhealthy."

"After we take over Suiyuan Province, we can take advantage of the two rare large plains in the north and northwest, the Qiantao Plain, the Urat Grassland, and the rich mineral resources here."

"We can see great development in agriculture, animal husbandry, and industry. We don't have to have all these industries crowded together like we do now. To ensure safety, we have to let them develop in the mountains."

"It's safe, but there are also problems. It requires very high infrastructure and roads."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at Li Mingqiang and said, "Old Li, during this period, the construction of some newly returned factory equipment can be temporarily suspended."

"Some plans still involve building factories, which can continue, but the equipment does not need to be installed."

"After we take over Suiyuan Province, some of the industries and equipment here will be moved to Suiyuan Province for construction."

"In my future plan, Yungang, Yuanxian, Guangxian, and Weixian counties will develop heavy industries such as petroleum, coal, steel smelting, and electricity, becoming one of our heavy industrial city clusters."

"All the rest will be placed here in Suiyuan Province. A portion will be left behind, and the rest will all be moved to Suiyuan Province."

At this point, Chu Feng thought of something and quickly said to Li Mingqiang, "Old Li, the heavy-duty 10,000-ton forging press should still be under construction in the factory!"

"Continue construction of the factory, but forget about the installation and commissioning of the forging machines. They will all be located in Suiyuan Province."

Hearing Chu Feng's words, Li Mingqiang, who was frantically recording, replied without even looking up: "Okay, Commander!"

Chu Feng didn't say much about future plans. After giving Li Mingqiang some instructions, the meeting ended.

A speechless night!

The next day, the brigade commanders gathered in Yuan County. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they all gathered together to chat and brag.

This is also the time Chu Feng left for everyone to reminisce about the past while waiting for someone.

"Old Liu, you've done a great job fighting behind enemy lines this time!"

Guard Regiment Commander Zhang Dapao looked at the First Brigade Commander Liu Yiyun and teased with a smile.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing Zhang Dapao's words, Liu Yiyun quickly waved his hand and said modestly, "We just fought together with our brother troops and achieved some small results."

"When it comes to doing big things, it's you, Zhang Dapao, and Lao Luo who are the real winners. Not only did you capture a Japanese lieutenant general, you also captured a Japanese major general."

"..."

Just when these brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the Independent 1st Division were bragging, the North China Front Army Headquarters.

General Terauchi Hisaichi was also holding a meeting. At this time, he was sitting in the first seat, with brilliant generals on both sides of his hands.

In addition to the Japanese lieutenant generals and major generals, there were also some generals of the puppet army.

General Terauchi Hisaichi, who was sitting in the first seat, was now a little complacent, although he had suffered a lot at the hands of Chu Feng in the past year.

Some time ago, they even lost a lieutenant general chief of staff and their partner was gone.

The suicide of an army commander and the capture of an army chief of staff made the Japanese somewhat embarrassed.

However, there have been good news during this period, and the army has already gathered in place.

Looking at his own powerful army, the cannons, the navy's aircraft carriers cruising on the sea, and the brand new and latest foreign fighter jets, Admiral Terauchi Hisaichi felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

In particular, this time because His Majesty the Emperor was angry, the Navy and the Army, two enemies who had always been at odds with each other, had to sit together and fight side by side.

Of course, the navy's side-by-side combat only involved carrier-based aircraft, without any support from other aspects. But even so, Admiral Terauchi Hisaichi was very satisfied and happy.

As the commander-in-chief of all this, General Terauchi Hisaichi was very inflated.

"Gentlemen!~"

General Terauchi Juichi, brimming with confidence and poised to sweep everything away, looked at everyone present, his head held high, and said excitedly, "For this battle, the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor have given tremendous support."

"For us, this battle is a battle of revenge, so our only goal in this battle is to destroy Chu Feng's tribe."

"In this battle, we must establish the absolute superiority and rule of the Great Japanese Empire in North China."

"We must make all Chinese troops and Chinese people understand one thing: if they oppose the Great Japanese Empire, they must be prepared to be annihilated by us."

As soon as General Terauchi Hisaichi opened his mouth, he raised the tone of the entire meeting.

The other Japanese officers and puppet army officers had no doubts and smiled brightly.

For them, they were full of confidence in this battle. They couldn't believe that they had gathered so many troops and mobilized hundreds of large-caliber artillery pieces. If the Type 92 infantry gun was included, there would be a total of thousands of artillery pieces, not to mention more than 600 aircraft.

Chu Feng is very powerful, and his Independent 1st Division is also very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot withstand the attack of such a powerful force.

"Don't worry, Commander, we will fight to the death!"

The newly appointed commander of the Mongolian Army, Lieutenant General and commander of the 26th Division, was the first to speak.

Other Japanese soldiers and puppet troops also spoke up, expressing their confidence and self-confidence.

"well!"

Hearing everyone's words, General Terauchi Juichi smiled even more happily. He nodded reservedly, his face full of pride, and said, "Now, all kinds of weapons, equipment and supplies will be in place in three days."

"By then, after everyone has prepared for about four days, that is, a week later, we will be able to launch the attack."

"If everything goes well, we can end the battle in ten days. At that time, you and I will hold a celebration banquet in Chu Feng's lair, Yuan County."

"Chu Feng is very rich. I agree with you that you can move freely in the various territories managed by Chu Feng during the attack."

"The military and His Majesty the Emperor have also stated that they will use 20% of the seized money as a reward for us."

When General Terauchi Hisaichi revealed this secret, the entire combat command room fell silent.

After three or five seconds, the entire combat command room was filled with an uproar, and the sound of people chatting excitedly was heard.

"What? Twenty percent? That's so much!!!"

"Hahaha, I heard that Chu Feng is very rich, with at least hundreds of millions of dollars in assets."

"If it's 20%, I can have hundreds of thousands of dollars?"

"Free time? Hahahaha, this is my favorite."

"Ono-kun, how about we have a killing competition?"

"Yoshi! Not just us, Okamura-kun, are you participating?"

"well!!!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"BOARD!!! BOARD!!!"

"The Empire of Japan is aboard! His Majesty the Emperor is aboard!!"

"Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere onboard!!!"

"Long live the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere!!!"

"..."

Looking at his subordinates who were so excited, General Terauchi Hisaichi couldn't stop smiling.

He could see from his subordinates' excited, excited and greedy faces and eyes their desire for victory, war and blood.

"Gentlemen!"

General Terauchi Juichi didn't interrupt everyone's excitement. Instead, he waited for more than ten minutes. When he saw that everyone had finally calmed down, he continued with a smile, "Of course, in addition to these, the military also expressed the Emperor's intentions."

After hearing what General Terauchi Hisaichi said, all the Japanese generals and puppet army generals present pricked up their ears and looked at General Terauchi Hisaichi with their eyes full of expectation. They wanted to know what would happen next.

"His Majesty the Emperor has stated that those who achieved the greatest success in this event will be promoted one rank and awarded an imperial title."

"In addition, His Majesty the Emperor also stated that he would personally confer honors upon him in the Imperial Palace when the time comes."

As soon as General Terauchi Hisaichi said this, the puppet army officers were fine. They knew that this had nothing to do with them and they were just playing a supporting role.

But the eyes of these Japanese generals were all wide open, full of greed and excitement.

Award!

This is a supreme honor!

Even though they are all generals in the Imperial Army now, they are only generals and high-ranking officials in the army.

But in China, they can never reach the level of true nobility.

This means that in the end they can only become a wealthy man or have some influence in the military.

But they will never step into the most noble class in the country, but if they obtain a title, they will be nobles.

There is a difference between nobility and non-nobility.

It can be said that this is the lifelong pursuit of all non-aristocratic Japanese devils.
