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

"pretty!!!"

At the Yangyuan County Front Command, Chu Feng was responsible for commanding the battles in the Yungang and Zhangjiakou directions, but he had always been paying attention to the battles taking place in the Eastward Column.

When the telegram from the 1st Air Brigade came, Chu Feng couldn't help but shout, his words full of excitement and excitement.

"Hahaha!!"

"The 1st Air Brigade fought well!"

“Great fight!!!”

Originally, Chu Feng would receive a system reward after the battle of Air Brigade 1 ended, but this time Air Brigade 1's battle was to cooperate with the Eastward Column.

The Eastward Column is coordinated with the entire battlefield, so rewards can only be obtained after this large-scale battle is over.

Chu Feng is not in a hurry!

Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal!

Chu Feng can wait.

Chu Feng immediately said to the combat staff, "Tell Director Li Mingqiang this good news. We can promote this great air combat victory together."

"Yes!"

The operations staff saluted and turned to make a phone call.

"In this battle, the Japanese air force in North China was completely destroyed. The Central China Front Army and the Kwantung Army wanted to provide support, but with those old-fashioned aircraft, they probably couldn't even protect themselves."

"As for the navy?"

"Indeed, they have a number of aircraft carriers, but can they make it in time?"

"I've destroyed the Longxiang aircraft carrier, and 90% of the aircraft on the other three carriers."

"Right now, in terms of the air force, the strongest is the 1st Air Brigade of our 1st Independent Division."

At this point, Chu Feng smiled from ear to ear and said, "Send a message to the frontline. We've been playing with the Japs for so long, it's time to attack."

"Have them prepared to attack the enemy immediately once the 1st Air Brigade arrives to support them."

"The eastward column has already begun, and we can't fall behind." Having said this, Chu Feng looked at his watch and said with high spirits: "Today we must march to the gates of Yungang and Zhangjiakou."

"If the Japs retreat wisely, that'll be fine. If they don't, we'll launch an attack tonight and capture these two important towns."

Chu Feng did not take the Mongolian garrison and the two Kwantung Army divisions seriously at all, even though they had each added a large number of artillery units.

But compared with the 1st Independent Division, it is still far behind!

crazy!

As Chu Feng's order was issued, the attacking troops went crazy in an instant, shouting frantically: "Brigade Commander, there is no need for the air force, I will lead my men to take Yungang City for you!"

"We have to wait until nightfall to capture Yungang City."

"Zhangjiakou? At night? No need. Brothers, just go easy on us and we can capture Zhangjiakou before nightfall."

"..."

Of course, the brigade commanders on the front line did not dare to do this. If they dared to do so, Chu Feng would dismiss them from their positions and send them to military academy to learn pig farming.

But because of Chu Feng's order, commanders and fighters at all levels fought more vigorously.

The 1st Air Brigade did not make the front-line fighting troops wait too long. Before the fighter jets arrived, the bomber troops arrived.

At this time, the Mongolian troops stationed in Yungang were facing the highly aggressive 1st Independent Division, and their positions were crumbling.

"idiot!!!"

"The battle has only just begun for over an hour, and you're already telling me to retreat? Can't you hold on any longer?"

"Bagya Road!"

In Yungang City, the newly appointed Lieutenant General Commander of the Japanese Army stationed in Mongolia listened to the report from the front line, his face ashen.

"Tell them that retreat is impossible. They must hold this place. Do you understand?"

"Step back, or I'll subject you to military law!"

"idiot!!!"

As he spoke, the Japanese lieutenant general commander abruptly hung up the phone. His breathing did not calm down after the end of the call, but became more rapid.

"Your Excellency Commander!"

At this moment, his chief of staff came up and said, "I think we should make preparations for both scenarios."

"The aviation troops, we haven't seen any of them yet. It's obvious that the 1st Air Brigade of Chu Feng's unit is fighting for air supremacy."

"We don't know how long this battle will last, but we've already lost the upper hand by abandoning our defensive positions."

"The Chu Feng tribe that attacked us was larger than we expected, and their numbers were not much smaller than ours."

"We are not in an advantageous position, and if we fight them head-on, we will consume all our manpower."

"It would be better if, when the opportunity arises, we could withdraw some troops and rely on the fortifications we have built around Yungang City to engage them for a while."

"Even if they have those super-large-caliber artillery, we don't have to be afraid!"

"Otherwise, we will lose our manpower and forget about reinforcements. Right now, General Terauchi Hisaichi is even more anxious for reinforcements than we are."

"At this time, we still need to be more stable."

The chief of staff's words calmed down the Japanese lieutenant general commander who was a little too angry. He quickly walked to the battle map.

Looking at the troops that were almost half-surrounded, he was silent for a long time and said, "Yoshi!"

"Chief of Staff, what you said makes sense. It was me who got carried away by my emotions."

"Please make a plan here and have the troops in front steadily retreat to Yungang City."

"Anyway, we've been operating Yungang City for over a year, and the fortifications we've built are still very solid. It's not as good as a military fortress, but it's at least a semi-military fortress."

At this point, the Japanese lieutenant general commander looked towards Suiyuan and asked, "How are the troops attacking from the Qingshui River?"

This sudden inquiry startled the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff, but he then responded: "The troops here are only a little over 10,000 strong, not many in number. Now they are being pinned down by the Eighth Route Army, and it's difficult for them to retreat even if they can't move."

"idiot!"

Upon hearing this news, the Japanese lieutenant general commander couldn't help but curse, and his face became more depressed.

He had originally thought about cooperating with the two divisions of the Kwantung Army, but he didn't expect that after the battle started.

Not only was the pressure on him great, but the two Kwantung Army divisions, with more than 50,000 people, were also having a hard time fighting.

Forget about cooperating, they are all busy and busy with their own affairs.

Just when the Japanese lieutenant general commander figured it out and issued orders to various units, the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of various units began to plan their retreat.

Reinforcements from the 1st Air Brigade have arrived!

20架B-29轰炸机，搭配30架SB轰炸机，以及30架P-47战斗机飞临晋北、察南、绥东这片地方。

"Brigade Commander Zeng, I'm Li Xuewu, deputy commander of the 1st Bomber Regiment of the 1st Air Brigade."

当李副团长率领10架B-29轰炸机，10架SB轰炸机和10架P-47战斗机组成的临时编队飞临战场的时候，李副团长第一时间同负责指挥云冈方向部队的第二旅旅长曾二牛联系上。

"Hello, Deputy Captain Li!"

When Brigade Commander Zeng heard this voice, he immediately became alert. He had been waiting for too long.

"We've already taken off and will arrive at the battlefield in eight minutes!"

The voice of Deputy Regiment Commander Li sounded like the sound of heaven in the ears of Brigade Commander Zeng.

"it is good!"

Brigade Commander Zeng didn't waste any words and immediately said, "We will cooperate with you and launch an attack on the enemy!"

After the call ended, Brigade Commander Zeng quickly walked over to the battle map, thought for a moment, and said, "Order all regiments to prepare for battle!"

"In eight minutes, the 1st Air Brigade will come over for aerial bombing to support our attack!"

"The Fifth Brigade and the Second and Third Battalions of the Second Artillery Regiment are responsible for the frontal attack. My request is that you utilize the Fifth Brigade's superior mobility and firepower to penetrate boldly."

"Disrupt the Japanese and puppet troops' formations. Don't let these main forces retreat back to Yungang City."

"The Reconnaissance Regiment will command the 11th Internal Guard Regiment to launch an attack from the Huairen line. Only one person is required. The Reconnaissance Regiment will be responsible for the rapid attack, while the 11th Internal Guard Regiment will be the rearguard responsible for gathering and eliminating the fleeing troops."

"Go straight to Yungang City as quickly as possible, that is, behind the Japanese and puppet troops."

"The 12th and 13th Internal Guard Regiments, in coordination with the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Artillery Regiment, quickly make a detour and head straight for Yungang City."

"Then Li Daniu from the reconnaissance regiment was responsible for commanding the 11th, 12th, and 13th Internal Security Regiments to cut off the retreat routes of the Japanese and puppet troops."

"I will surround the 26th Division of the Mongolian Army and the three puppet army divisions and deny them the opportunity to retreat to Yungang City."

At this point, he glanced at Yungang City and said, "As for those old devils in Yungang City? They've run away. I want his main force, not these old devils."
