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

"Nani?!!!"

"Our troops collapsed?!!"

"There are two more troops rapidly encircling our main force from behind?"

"The aviation force of Chu Feng's unit is here too?!!!"

Soon, one piece of bad news after another continued to pour in. In Yungang City, the Lieutenant General Commander of the Mongolian Army asked angrily in disbelief, "Where are our troops? Why did they collapse? Damn it!!!"

"Hi Yi!"

Hearing the question from the Lieutenant General Commander, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Commander, Chu Feng's attack is too fierce!"

"Especially the troops stationed at the front, with Chu Feng's tank troops leading the way!"

"The temporary trenches we built couldn't withstand such an onslaught."

"Not to mention the fierce firepower of Chu Feng's troops and the planes that kept dropping bombs in the sky."

Speaking of this, the Japanese Major General Chief of Staff was also full of anger: "If it were only our 26th Division, we could still hold on in the face of such an attack and would not collapse so quickly."

"However, facing the high-density firepower of the Chufeng tribe, as well as the tanks and troops that covered the sky and the sun, the Mongolian army could not withstand it."

"Even though our commander immediately ordered the military police to kill many who tried to escape, they still couldn't stop them."

"Under the onslaught of these fleeing Mongolian troops, our defenses became riddled with holes and we were completely unable to resist."

"If we retreat, our two legs can't outrun the wheels and tracks of Chu Feng's troops."

"They also ordered artillery and aviation to coordinate and continuously bombard and drop bombs on the rear of our retreat."

"Especially those special bombs. When they fall, a large area will be turned into a sea of ​​fire."

The Chief of Staff's words finally made the Japanese Lieutenant General Commander unable to hold back. He slammed the table and shouted, "Bage Yalu!!!"

"Chinese people, they are unreliable at work!!!"

"idiot!!!"

The furious Japanese lieutenant general really wanted to complain, but he knew that now was not the time to curse.

"How many troops do we have now?"

Upon hearing the commander's question, the chief of staff immediately replied, "There's also a supply corps and some other directly affiliated units. Together, they number around 3000 men."

As soon as the Chief of Staff said this, the Lieutenant General Commander said without hesitation: "Yoshi!"

"You, quickly organize the troops and quickly support the enemies coming from Huairen and Yanggao."

"We can't let them get through and cut off our connection with the main force, nor can we let them cut off the main force's retreat route."

"As long as the troops can retreat to Yungang City and rely on the defensive positions and fortifications we have built, we can hold on."

At this point, the Japanese lieutenant general commander pondered for a moment, looked at the chief of staff, and said, "Send a telegram to the garrisons in the surrounding counties, asking them to quickly organize their troops and support Yungang City."

After hearing the commander's words, the Japanese chief of staff responded and turned around to convey orders and assign tasks.

however!

Although the Japanese lieutenant general commander knew that the situation on the battlefield was a bit unfavorable, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

As the aircraft of the 1st Air Brigade began to return one after another, the 1st Air Brigade not only withdrew some aircraft to continue cooperating with the attack of the Eastward Column.

There will also be more planes to support the battlefields in northern Shanxi, Yungang City, and Zhangjiakou.

His troops encountered Chu Feng's troops in the wild. Although there were mountains everywhere, they were faced with the powerful firepower attack from the air and the ground, and they were stuck with artillery and had no time to organize their troops.

He only thought about not letting Chu Feng's troops cut off the retreat route of his main force, but he never thought about whether his main force could come back.

Of course, the order from the Japanese lieutenant general commander was not wrong, as he did not have many troops at his disposal.

If the main force can hold on and wait for the defenders of the surrounding counties to come to support, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Now, both sides can be said to have revealed all their cards as soon as the battle begins, and it depends on who breaks the deadlock first.

At this time, Zeng Erniu of the temporary command center received news from various troops. Seeing that the progress was very rapid everywhere, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Brigade Commander, if we continue at this rate, we will definitely be able to wipe out the main force of the Mongolian army before dark."

The Chief of Staff of the Second Brigade said to the Brigade Commander Zeng Erniu with a smile.

"That's right!"

Luo Tianming, deputy commander of the Second Brigade, also said, "We are racing against time with the Japanese. Will we break through first, or will they collapse first?"

As time passed, more than ten minutes later, a combat staff officer hurried in and said, "Brigade Commander, the 1st Air Brigade called. Their reconnaissance aircraft discovered a large number of Japanese troops in the direction of Yungang City, heading towards Huairen and Yanggao to provide support."

"At the same time, some Japanese and puppet troops were seen in Fengzhen and other county towns heading towards Yungang City."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Erniu instantly understood the Japs' idea: "It seems that the Japs want to stop the reconnaissance regiment and the three internal security regiments and complete their encirclement."

"Wait for rescue from the surrounding county defenders and support the main force in retreating to Yungang City!"

Zeng Erniu thought for a moment and said, "We absolutely cannot let the Japanese retreat back to Yungang City."

"Send a telegram to each unit, asking them to speed up the attack."

"On the front lines, have the 2nd Brigade hold onto the Japanese and puppet troops, preventing them from retreating. At the same time, we will penetrate their ranks like crazy and carve our way through them."

"Then send a telegram to the 1st Air Brigade. Only one bomber squadron is needed on the front lines. Focus on supporting the reconnaissance regiment and the three internal security regiments."

"Cooperate with them to advance quickly and cut off the enemy's retreat."

"Send another telegram to the 12th and 13th Internal Guard Regiments, asking them to dispatch a battalion of troops to the north for security."

At this point, Zeng Erniu said in a firm tone, "It's twelve o'clock in the morning, and there are still seven and a half hours until dark."

"We must completely wipe out the main force of the Mongolian army before dark. We won't give them the chance to retreat to Yungang City, nor will we give them the chance to engage in street fighting."
