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

Luanzhou County!

When the battle of Xiaodong Village broke out, the Japanese chief of staff heard it!

When the dense gunfire rang out, his heart was lifted up. He knew that the reinforcements must have been attacked by the main force of Gao Feng's army.

But then the sound of gunfire disappeared.

The sound of cold weapons naturally could not be heard in the county town more than ten miles away.

"Why is there no sound?"

"Why are the gunshots so intermittent? There aren't many left?!!!"

This sudden change made the Japanese chief of staff a little restless, and he shouted with a ferocious expression.

No one could answer his question!

"Hurry up, send a telegram and ask what's going on?!!!"

The Japanese chief of staff couldn't believe that his troops of more than 5,000 were wiped out in just over ten minutes.

No matter how strong Gao Feng's troops were, it was impossible to cause their collapse with just that little firepower.

But since the troops have not collapsed and have not been destroyed, where are the sounds of gunfire?

Is it a bayonet fight?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, it was driven out by the Japanese chief of staff.

If it was the Eighth Route Army, he might still believe it, but this was the 1st Independent Division, Gao Feng's troops. Their firepower was so strong that even the Russian Bear Country in the north could not match it.

Therefore, a bayonet fight is impossible.

The Japanese chief of staff actually guessed half right. It was indeed impossible to fight with bayonets, but it was almost the same!

The cavalry harvested with sabers, which were also cold weapons, but with the help of a horse.

I can’t figure it out, the radio station can’t be contacted!

For a moment, the Japanese chief of staff fell into panic.

He took a desperate gamble and sent out 95% of his troops, leaving less than 500 people in the entire Luanzhou County.

If something goes wrong with the reinforcements and the Chinese attack, what will these 500 people do?

Defense?

Such a big county, five hundred people?

How to defend!!!

"idiot!!!"

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. The Japanese chief of staff suddenly felt that Luanzhou County had become extremely unsafe. If he stayed here, he would be destroyed in one attack.

He doesn't want to die!

Even if he were to take the blame for the defeat in this battle, it wouldn't ruin his own future.

Thinking of this, he could no longer suppress his inner fear and said, "Pass on my order. Arrange the troops immediately and quickly withdraw from Luanzhou and retreat towards Shanhaiguan."

He didn't want to wait any longer for the Japanese chief of staff who had no trump cards. As long as he could survive and not put himself in danger, he could still try.

Terauchi Hisaichi also returned to his country in a vegetative state. As the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, he was the second-in-command of the entire North China Front Army.

He couldn't let himself get into any more accidents!

After the order was given, the Japanese soldiers did not hesitate. They had already been scared out of their wits. Besides, they were not front-line field troops, but staff members of the headquarters.

Half an hour later, the Japanese chief of staff led his men out of the north gate and retreated quickly towards Shanhaiguan in the dark.

Bao Zhiguo didn't know that the Japanese chief of staff saw that the situation was not good and slipped away while the troops were still cleaning up the battlefield.

at the same time!

Temporary command post outside Tangshan County.

"Hahaha, the Cavalry Brigade fought well!!"

"This time, I actually caught a big fish!"

"Although cavalry is increasingly unsuited to modern warfare, its combat effectiveness cannot be overstated. Over 5,000 Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out in half an hour."

Wang Tiezhu was so happy to see the victory report from Bao Zhiguo that he couldn't stop smiling. He praised him profusely and turned to look at Liu Yiyun, the commander of the 1st Brigade, and asked, "Liu Yiyun, can your brigade capture these 5,000-plus Japanese and puppet troops in half an hour?"

Hearing the Chief of Staff's question, Brigade Commander Liu Yiyun pondered for a moment and said, "Half an hour is a bit tight. Even if we have a regiment of 107mm rocket launchers, plus the artillery and firepower of our 1st Brigade, it will take at least forty minutes to an hour."

At this point, Liu Yiyun paused slightly and said, "Of course, if we can send our first brigade of tanks and armored vehicles over, we can end the battle in half an hour without any problem!"

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Liu Yiyun's words, Wang Tiezhu laughed heartily and said, "It seems that this cavalry unit will still exist in our Independent 1st Division for a while."

"At critical moments, the cavalry brigade still has a special role to play, especially in long-distance, covert raids. Their tolerance for error is greater than your mechanized forces."

"Of course, we're still a little short of tough battles."

"After this battle is over, we can discuss expanding the cavalry unit and increasing their firepower."

"Forget about the mortars. We can add a rocket artillery regiment. After all, they don't need continuous firepower. They need instantaneous firepower coverage to buy them time to attack."

Liu Yiyun nodded in agreement with Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu's words. "Indeed, both our five light tank brigades and heavy tank brigades still have some limitations. Cavalry is still an indispensable part of our Chinese battlefield."

Xiaodong Village!

"What? There are only over 500 Japanese troops in Luanzhou County?"

The cavalry brigade commander Bao Zhiguo's eyes widened, and then he said excitedly: "Okay, okay!"

"I was originally thinking of having the rocket artillery regiment fire a salvo to give the Japanese a taste of the shock of the rocket artillery!"

"But with a force of about 500 people, if we don't take down a county town, we'd be doing the Japanese a disservice!"

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Leave one company to clean up the battlefield and guard these prisoners, and the rest of the troops, follow me to Luanzhou County."

"Let's go attack the county town!!!"

Ten minutes later, the cavalry brigade commander Bao Zhiguo led his troops and quickly headed towards Luanzhou County.

Among them, a cavalry company served as the vanguard and rushed towards the county town.

The cavalry company moved very quickly and arrived outside the county town twenty minutes later.

"Captain, why can't I see anyone?"

Outside the county town, looking at the quiet Luanzhou County, without a single light or figure, a platoon leader asked in surprise.

"what?"

At this moment, they saw that the tightly closed west city gate suddenly opened, and some people came out from inside with their heads poking their heads out.

After discovering these people, the cavalry company was even more stunned.

"This is? Fellow villager?"

"No, even if there were about 500 Japs, there wouldn't be any villagers who could open the city gates!"

At this moment, a thought came to the cavalry company commander's mind: "Could it be that the Japanese in the county town have escaped?"

He hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Fellow villagers, why are you out? Where are the Japanese? We are from the 1st Independent Division!"

His sudden shout scared the villagers who opened the door. Many of them felt their bodies tense up and almost peed.

But when they heard the familiar words and the 1st Independent Division, these fellow villagers reacted instantly.

"Sir, Sir!"

"The Japanese in the city ran away. We realized something was wrong and bravely walked out."

Upon hearing this, the cavalry company commander instantly realized that his guess was correct. He immediately grabbed the mobile phone and shouted, "Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, the Japs in the county town have escaped!"

Bao Zhiguo, the cavalry brigade commander who was rushing over with his troops, was stunned when he heard this: "What the hell? Ran away?!!!"

"Damn it, these bastards, don't they follow the code of bushido?"

"Why don't you stay and fight me for three hundred rounds? Why are you running away?!" Bao Zhiguo, who originally wanted to bully the Japanese, was suddenly told that he had no chance and his defense was directly broken!
