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

(A 3,000-word chapter, with another 3,000-word chapter tonight)

Faced with all this, the Japanese and puppet troops in the trenches and strongholds were powerless. They could only watch the front-line troops being broken through and watch a large number of Chinese troops moving quickly in the east and west directions.

They wanted to report it, but they had no radio and could not communicate.

As for sending people?

Liu Yiyun did not give them this opportunity. When the main force quickly broke through and rushed towards Mancheng County and Qingyuan County, the 4th and 5th Regiments of the 2nd Brigade also sent a battalion each to rush through the breakthrough point, cooperating with the frontal attack force to attack the three strongholds and the entire defensive position from the front.

Because the BT fast tanks of the 1st and 2nd Brigades did not arrive at the front line, the troops could only rely on cars to travel. At the same time, to increase some offensive capabilities, machine gun mounts were welded to the cars of the entire Independent 1st Division.

Although there were no tanks, the heavy machine guns with their black muzzles were also intimidating. They split into two and quickly penetrated into the rear of the two county towns in the east and west of Baofu County.

Simultaneously,

Faced with the sudden change, the Japanese and puppet troops in the three strongholds and defensive positions were in chaos, and the already shaky defense line was on the verge of collapse.

"idiot!!!"

Under the harassment of the aircraft, the commander of the 110th Division and his men could not run fast at all.

Just over ten minutes later, they felt the ground shaking. They stopped and looked back, and everyone's legs suddenly went weak!

As they watched, a dark mass of trucks with heavy machine guns mounted on their roofs were chasing them aggressively.

There were rampaging planes in the sky, and behind them was a steel torrent consisting of hundreds of cars, rolling towards them.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers who had escaped in the county town were in despair!

Really desperate!

“Da da da da!!!”

“Chuchu chuchu!!!”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

"..."

These Japanese soldiers had no power to fight back and were swept away. The Japanese generals mixed in the team were not spared either.

Crunch! !

With the sound of brakes, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade jumped out of the car and walked over quickly. He heard the battalion commander report: "Report to the regiment commander, we caught a big fish. One Japanese lieutenant general, three Japanese major generals, and more than a dozen colonels and lieutenant colonels."

"The identities have been confirmed. They are a Lieutenant General, Commander of the 110th Division, a Major General, Chief of Staff of the 110th Division, and two Major Generals, Brigade Commanders of the 110th Division."

After hearing the battalion commander's report, the 1st Regiment Commander showed a satisfied expression and laughed heartily, "Well done!!!"

"I, the first group, took a bite of fat meat, hahahaha!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a signalman came running over with a walkie-talkie on his back. The regimental commander didn't waste any time, and immediately grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, "Connect me to the brigade commander!"

Soon, Liu Yiyun's voice sounded on the walkie-talkie.

"I'm Liu Yiyun!"

Upon hearing Liu Yiyun's voice, the regimental commander excitedly said, "Brigade Commander, we've caught a big fish! The commander, chief of staff, and two brigade commanders, both major generals, of the 110th Division have been killed!"

"Not a single one escaped. Those Japanese soldiers who retreated from Baofu County were completely wiped out. Not a single one escaped!"

Liu Yiyun, commander of the 1st Brigade who was at the temporary command center, burst into laughter when he heard the words of the regimental commander, and his hearty laughter rang out over the walkie-talkie.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

“Well done! Well done!!”

"Keep working hard and try to end the battle as soon as possible. I'll take you to Jin City to participate in the annihilation battle!"

As soon as Liu Yiyun said this, the regimental commander, as well as the other battalion and company commanders, officers and soldiers around him were shocked and excitement appeared in their eyes.

"Yes, Brigadier!"

The regimental commander did not waste any words and immediately shouted loudly: "We must speed up the pace of the attack and not let the Japanese in Mancheng County escape."

After saying this, he ended the call, then turned to look at the people around him and said with a smile, "Spread this good news to each battalion. Tell them to run, speed up. If you want to participate in the big battle, the decisive battle, you must end the battle quickly."

After saying that, he looked at the regiment commander and said, "You leave one company behind and wait for the baggage train to take over." After saying that, he got into the car and led the large troops to stride quickly towards Mancheng County.

Soon, the news spread to the three regiments of the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade. Everyone's morale was boosted. They were already running very fast, and now they increased their speed even more.

Nothing else!

In order to participate in subsequent battles and eliminate the main force of the Japanese North China Front Army entrenched in Tianjin.

Towards Baofu County!

As the main forces of the 1st and 2nd Brigades quickly penetrated and advanced rapidly to the rear of Mancheng and Qingyuan county towns in the east and west directions.

Outside Baofu County, the three strongholds extending on the east and west sides and the defensive positions several kilometers long were currently being attacked from both sides by the 4th and 5th Regiments of the 2nd Brigade.

The already shaky defensive position could no longer withstand the attack from both front and back, as well as the bombing coordinated by ground artillery units and the 1st Air Brigade. It completely collapsed in less than half an hour.

"Ha ha!"

Looking at the baggage troops and new recruits cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Yiyun smiled with great pride.

"Brigade Commander Liu, the 4th and 5th Regiments of the 2nd Brigade have successfully completed their combat mission. Please direct the next combat plan, Brigade Commander Liu!"

The commanders of the 4th and 5th regiments of the 2nd Brigade hurried to the temporary command center as soon as the battle ended, found the commander of the 1st Brigade, Liu Yiyun, to report the battle situation, and waited for further instructions.

"Hahaha!"

Liu Yiyun looked at the two regimental commanders, his face full of joy as he patted their shoulders and said, "Not bad, you fought well. You didn't embarrass Old Zeng. You showed the momentum of our 1st Independent Division!"

After that, without giving the two a chance to be modest, Liu Yiyun's voice sounded again: "However, the battle is not over yet, and you can't rest yet."

Hearing these words, the fourth and fifth regiment commanders stood at attention and looked at Liu Yiyun with firm eyes.

"You must quickly replenish supplies and ammunition. The 4th Regiment will head west, and the 5th Regiment will head east. Keep up with our attacking force as quickly as possible."

"Together with other troops, we will quickly capture the Japanese and puppet troops in the two county towns of Mancheng and Qingyuan."

Upon hearing Liu Yiyun's words, the two regimental commanders showed ecstasy on their faces. Without any nonsense, they saluted and said loudly: "Yes, Brigade Commander Liu!" After that, they strode away.

"What a good soldier!"

After watching the two group leaders leave, Liu Yiyun smiled and praised: "Compared to my three groups, they are only a little bit behind!"

Hearing Liu Yiyun's words, the chief of staff of the first brigade laughed: "Brigade Commander, if Lao Zeng heard what you said, he would definitely have a good argument with you."

"Don't forget, the last time you two drank, you didn't drink with Lao Zeng."

The smile on Liu Yiyun's face disappeared instantly because of the chief of staff's words, leaving only embarrassment.

"Chief of Staff, as the old saying goes, don't hit someone in the face, and don't expose someone's weaknesses when scolding them!"

"Fighting and training troops are one thing, and drinking is another. Can they be confused?"

"Besides, last time it was Old Liu who was in a bad state, so Erniu took advantage of the opportunity. Look, after this battle, I can't kill him with alcohol!"

The chief of staff and the deputy brigade commander chuckled and said nothing more about the brigade commander who had been strong-willed and stubborn all his life.

Liu Yiyun's drinking capacity is so high that even dogs would shake their heads when they hear about it!

The 4th and 5th Regiments were very fast. After quickly replenishing their weapons and ammunition, they set off quickly and chased in the direction the main force left.

The battle here in Baofu County is over!

The baggage train and new recruits were cleaning up the battlefield. However, as for the situation in Baofu County, Liu Yiyun did not rush to send people to the county to check the situation. Instead, he asked the baggage train and new recruits to be more vigilant.

People were asked to stay away from downwind areas, and the troops were on guard to prevent people who were unaware of the situation from entering and being accidentally injured by poison gas bombs.

Mancheng County!

Because they could not contact the 110th Division Headquarters, the Japanese here sent a small team, driving a car, and quickly came to Baofu County.

This confused Japanese squad ran headlong into the arms of the 1st Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade!

There was no need to report to the 1st Regiment Commander. This reconnaissance team consisting of an infantry squad and five light trucks was quickly wiped out in less than three minutes from the start to the end of the battle.

While destroying a squad of Japanese soldiers, the five Japanese light trucks were also successfully retained and incorporated into the combat sequence of a regiment.

Because the battle was so fast, the Japanese had no time to warn. At the same time, the battle was also in full swing in Mancheng County, and the sound of gunfire from this side could not be heard at all.

Therefore, the Japanese soldiers in Mancheng County knew nothing about what was happening here. They had no idea that the small reconnaissance unit they sent out had been captured, and they had no idea that more than 10,000 officers and soldiers of Chu Feng’s army were marching towards this side.

The 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Brigade had a smooth journey, as if they were in an empty land.

This also shows that the Japanese did not attach importance to the defense of their rear areas.

At 12:30 noon, when the 1st and 2nd Regiments of the 1st Brigade appeared behind the Japanese and puppet troops in Mancheng County like divine troops descending from the sky, completely blocking their way of retreating to the south, the Japanese and puppet troops in Mancheng County finally reacted.

"Baga?!!!"

"Why did the Chinese appear behind us?"

"Where did they come from?"

The Japanese lieutenant general division commander felt his scalp tingle. He had never expected that he would be surrounded while fighting!

There was no news from the friendly forces around, and there was no news from their own guard troops either!

At this moment, not only the Japanese lieutenant general in Mancheng County felt his scalp tingling, but the Japanese and puppet troops in Qingyuan County on the other side also felt their scalps tingling.

They were also filled with disbelief as Chu Feng's troops appeared behind them like a ghost, cutting off their retreat route to the south.
