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

Wang Tiezhu handed over the task of taking over the city of Beiping to the logistics unit and a garrison regiment and two internal security regiments that came from home.

He led the 1st Brigade, the Guards Regiment, the Cavalry Brigade, and two garrison regiments, a total of about 2 people, and marched eastward towards Tangshan and Shanhaiguan.

By the time he circled the city of Peking, it was already dark and there were no more planes from the 1st Air Brigade in the sky.

"Report!!!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the walkie-talkie: "Japanese and puppet troops have been spotted in Baodi County. The number is unknown, and the defense is very tight."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tiezhu immediately understood that, just as he had guessed, the Japanese had gathered their troops and were devoting all their efforts to defending their retreat route.

"Zhang Dapao!"

Wang Tiezhu narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke.

"chief of staff!"

When the guard regiment commander Zhang Dapao heard the chief of staff calling him, he immediately stood up and spoke loudly.

"Baodi County is yours. I will deploy an artillery battalion from the 1st Brigade to support you."

Wang Tiezhu checked the time on his watch and said, "It's seven o'clock in the evening. Be prepared for battle and don't expose yourself for the time being."

"We can launch an attack at 2 a.m. and try to finish the battle within two hours. Do you have the confidence?"

When saying this, Wang Tiezhu looked at the guard commander Zhang Dapao!

"Report to the Chief of Staff, ensure the mission is completed!!!"

Zhang Dapao responded without hesitation.

"Ok!"

Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly, looked towards the cavalry brigade, and said, "Bao Zhiguo!"

When the cavalry brigade commander Bao Zhiguo heard the chief of staff calling him, he stood up without hesitation and shouted, "Here!!!"

"Immediately lead your cavalry brigade, bypass Baodi County, and march directly to the rear of Tangshan County, harassing the county seat in the rear."

"I want you to act like Sun Wukong and disrupt the Japanese and puppet troops in the rear so that they don't know your exact location and how many people there are."

Hearing Wang Tiezhu's order, the cavalry brigade commander Bao Zhiguo's eyes flashed with excitement and said, "Yes, Chief of Staff!"

"Ok!"

Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly and said, "I've replenished your supply of rocket launchers. I've also replenished your artillery regiment's supply of 107mm rocket launchers."

"Beat them to death if you're having fun, and show me the mobility of your cavalry brigade."

"This night, we must make it impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops to sleep or eat peacefully, and make them run around exhausted."

"Remember, the goal of your cavalry brigade is to harass, not to destroy any unit."

"Of course, if the opportunity permits, it's not impossible."

"But you must ensure that the battle ends within half an hour. It is strictly prohibited to exceed half an hour. Do you understand?" Wang Tiezhu put a tight ring around Bao Zhiguo, fearing that Bao Zhiguo would lose his temper.

"Chief of Staff, just wait and see!"

Bao Zhiguo didn't feel that it was a tight curse at all. He smiled and patted his chest to assure Wang Tiezhu.

Then, Wang Tiezhu looked at Liu Yiyun, the commander of the 1st Brigade, and said, "Liu Yiyun, your brigade has a heavy task!"

"One brigade, one regiment, and one artillery battalion will immediately march straight to Ninghe County. Upon arrival, launch an immediate attack and strive to capture Ninghe County within two hours."

"The Second Regiment is lying in ambush between Ninghe County and Tangshan County."

"Once the battle breaks out in Ninghe County, the Japanese and puppet troops will absolutely support us at all costs. The Second Regiment will be responsible for surrounding and attacking the reinforcements and eliminating the Japanese and puppet troops' reinforcements."

"As for the third regiment, they are lying in ambush between Jinshi and Ninghe County, also ambushing reinforcements coming from the direction of Jinshi."

Wang Tiezhu did not think about wiping out the Japanese and puppet troops in these dozen counties in one fell swoop.

One is that time does not allow, and the other is that there is a shortage of manpower.

His mission was only to cut off the northward advance of the Japanese and puppet troops in Jinshi, so it would be enough to take Ninghe County and Baodi County.

There was no need to fight all the way to Shanhaiguan. The Japanese and puppet troops withdrawn from the city of Beiping, as well as the Japanese and puppet troops in these dozen or so counties, could withdraw whenever they wanted. After all, there were not many of them.

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

Liu Yiyun, commander of the First Brigade, also stood up without hesitation and responded loudly.

Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly, looked at the two garrison commanders, and said, "You will serve as the reserve team and follow me!"

The two garrison commanders were a little disappointed, but expressed their understanding.

"Okay, let's go!"

After formulating the battle plan, Wang Tiezhu waved to everyone and the troops left quickly.

Half an hour after the troops left, Wang Tiezhu also led two garrison regiments and headed towards Ninghe County.

Time passes little by little!

Before I knew it, it was past midnight and it was 2 a.m.

When the time came, the guard regiment, under the command of its commander Zhang Dapao, launched an attack on Baodi County.

Just half an hour after the battle of Baodi County started, the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade, along with the 2nd Artillery Battalion, rushed to Ninghe County and immediately engaged in battle.

Afterwards, the cavalry brigade that had been deployed began to demonstrate its mobility and break down into smaller units.

Cavalry Brigade Commander Bao Zhiguo led a cavalry regiment and a 107 rocket artillery regiment.

The remaining two cavalry regiments, organized into battalions, armed with mortars, rocket launchers, and other weapons, began harassing various county towns and strongholds.

For a time, the land north of Tianjin, east of Beiping City, and south of Shanhaiguan was filled with smoke of gunpowder.

"idiot!!!"

As soon as the battle of Baodi County broke out, the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, who had retreated to Luanzhou County, was awakened by the combat staff.

Looking at the telegram for help, he felt annoyed. He had already guessed the result.

“No reinforcements!!!”

The chief of staff cursed and said, "Let them hold on and fight to the last soldier!" At the same time, he immediately ordered all counties to be on alert and prepare for battle.

The battle of Baodi County has begun, which means that the main force of Chu Feng’s troops has arrived.

For a moment, the Japanese Chief of Staff was uneasy, his expression became heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the battle map: "I have a bad feeling!"

He couldn't help but think of his commander, General Terauchi Hisaichi, who had been arranged to leave by ship and return to the mainland. He couldn't help but curse: "Baga!"

"A bastard who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!"

"You ran away, but you left me with a mess. I'm not a tinker, and now I'm afraid I have to take the blame!"

"Bagya Road!!"
