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

The battle continues!

The various Japanese and puppet troops are still struggling and holding on!

As time goes by, the sun sets and night is approaching.

"call!"

In the city of Beiping, at the headquarters of the North China Front Army, General Terauchi Hisaichi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief!

"call!"

"In three more hours, it will be dark!"

"At that time, Chu Feng's aviation force will not be able to provide support. At that time, the pressure on each unit will be relieved."

"I just don't believe it. Chu Feng's troops are made of iron. Don't they need to rest? Damn it!!!"

So many things happened on this day, too much and too densely!

First, he was awakened from his sleep and told that the 100,000 Imperial Army troops he had trained had betrayed him.

Then, at dawn, the battle between the air forces began.

The air force, which he had placed high hopes on, was defeated. For the first time, all its airports and half of its strength were lost.

When the second air battle broke out, not only were all the old forces lost, but all the carrier-based aircraft on the four aircraft carriers were also lost.

This resulted in the entire North China Front Army no longer having any air force.

Lieutenant General Tokugawa Yoshitoshi, the head of the air force, is now left alone.

Then Chu Feng's troops launched an attack. Because of his own order, the main force of the North China Front Army fell into a passive position.

Not only were there heavy casualties, but the situation suddenly became precarious for them as they were already at a disadvantage.

"time!"

"Baga, we need time now, we need time for reinforcements to arrive!!!"

General Terauchi Juichi stared with red eyes, looking exhausted. The pressure was too great and he kept smoking, which made him even more decadent.

"report!"

At this moment, a combat staff officer hurried over and said, "Commander, the 110th Division stationed in Shimen has arrived in Baofu County."

"With the help of the 110th Division, the retreating troops stopped their decline and began to rely on defensive positions to confront Chu Feng's troops."

Upon hearing this news, General Terauchi Hisaichi finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"idiot!!!"

"Finally, there's some good news!"

General Terauchi Hisaichi no longer cared about anything at this time. He mobilized all the troops he could to frantically support this group of troops of the North China Front Army.

"Where are the reinforcements from Dongshan Province? Where are they?"

"Where are the troops from Tsu City? Have they arrived yet?"

General Terauchi Hisaichi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but ask.

Hearing General Terauchi Juichi's question, the Japanese operations staff quickly replied, "Commander, the 27th Division in Tsu City has called and said they have established a defensive position 40 kilometers from Tsu City."

"They didn't want to make contact rashly because our main force has been stuck by Chu Feng's troops. If they go rashly, they will definitely be overwhelmed."

"The commander of the 27th Division stated that they had incorporated the garrisons of the surrounding counties. Combining the 27th Division's 1st Regiment, 27th Logistics Regiment, and 27th Engineer Regiment, they formed three 5,000-man units, which were dispatched in three directions to support the retreating troops."

The operations staff officer paused briefly before continuing, "The 12th Army of Dongshan Province stated that they have already dispatched most of the 32nd Division stationed in Yanzhou, as well as the 10th Independent Mixed Brigade in Tai'an, to quickly support Jidong."

"The 10th Independent Mixed Brigade has passed Dezhou and will reach Jinshi before dawn. The 32nd Division has also reached Tai'an and will arrive in Jinshi around 10 am tomorrow."

"The 1st, 7th, and 8th Independent Mixed Brigades directly under the Front have also set off."

"The 1st Independent Mixed Brigade will arrive in the Hofu area around 8:00 PM."

"The 8th Independent Mixed Brigade will link up with the 110th Division in the Hofu area in two hours."

"As for the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, they'll depart from Ju County and reach Jinshi in another three hours."

After hearing the words of the combat staff, General Terauchi Hisaichi completely relaxed.

"Where are the reinforcements from the Kwantung Army and the Central China Front Army?"

General Terauchi Juichi's expression eased considerably and he continued to ask.

The combat staff officer looked at the information in his hand and said, "The reinforcements from the Central China Front will take at least two days. The reinforcements from the Kwantung Army will arrive before dawn. The first batch of one infantry brigade and 10,000 Imperial Army troops will arrive."

"well!!!"

Hearing the good news, General Terauchi Juichi couldn't help but light a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said, "Send a telegram to our troops, telling them to hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!"

At this point, General Terauchi Juichi thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to the 110th Division, asking them to reinforce their positions and do a good job of defense. At the same time, it would be best if they could take the initiative to attack and tie up Chu Feng's troops in front of them."

"At the same time, order the defenders along the way to ensure that the railways and roads are open and that reinforcements can arrive as quickly as possible."

After hearing what General Terauchi Hisaichi said, the combat staff quickly recorded it and saluted: "Hi, Commander, I will report to the Chief of Staff right away!" After that, he turned around and left quickly.

Soon, this combat order was sent to various armies through the Chief of Staff.

The morale of the Japanese and puppet troops finally stabilized a lot, especially the troops being pursued by the main force of the heavy tank armored brigade, who also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Japanese division commander in charge of the command was also decisive. He immediately arranged his troops, blew up a bridge, used the river as a barrier, and retreated with more than 8,000 Japanese soldiers.

As for the tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops on the other side of the river? Abandon them!

Abandon the car to save the handsome man!

At the same time, another Japanese division commander not far away did something similar. He was the only Type A division of the North China Front Army. He retreated with 10,000 Japanese soldiers and abandoned the rest.

As for the artillery, the moment they were caught up, they had already abandoned their equipment and retreated.

"These little devils run so fast!!!"

Soon, Ge Dayong learned about the Japanese's strategy of sacrificing the car to save the king. He was not disappointed at all because this was within his expectations.

He was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but now he was able to strike later but get ahead and wipe out 30,000 to 40,000 Japanese and puppet troops in one fell swoop, which was already a great profit.

As for the escaped Japanese devils?

Ge Dayong naturally wouldn't let them get away so easily.

Jinshi? Want to rely on Jinshi for defense? Wait for reinforcements?

Absolutely not!

Now, if the Eastward Column wants to break the deadlock, relying on its own strength is not enough.

But don't forget that the 1st Independent Division is more than just the Eastward Column.

As long as the troops commanded by Wang Tiezhu, Chief of Staff of Northern Shanxi, and the troops attacking Yungang can quickly eliminate the opponent, at least two main brigades and at least ten regiments can be withdrawn.

At that time, a brigade will go to support the division commander Chu Feng and try to capture two Kwantung Army divisions, or drive them out and defeat them.

If the remaining troops come to support him, he will have enough manpower.

At that time, we will use the rebel troops to clear out and seize the territory, and at the same time prepare for defense. We will then mobilize all the main forces and local forces to have a decisive battle with the Japanese in Jinshi.

As for the reinforcements that kept arriving?

Ge Dayong had noticed this a long time ago, and he sent a telegram directly to the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The Eighth Route Army does not have many troops in the plains, but they are enough!

After dark, they would begin destroying railways and roads to support the Japanese reinforcements.

You don’t need too much!

As long as he could buy himself twelve hours, as long as he could complete the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Peiping-Tianjin area and cut off their way to the south, it would be enough.
