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

Ge Dayong didn't expect that these bastards would actually play such a trick!

Just create a Xu Jin barrage!

Although he was surprised, he did not blame him too much. He was the commander, not a nanny. Within the scope of his ability, he only needed results and did not need to hang on to any details or processes.

As long as you can complete the task smoothly, it will be fine.

Moreover, what made Ge Dayong feel a little relieved was that his troops were able to finalize and implement the plan in such a short time, and the results were quite good. This showed the professional ability and strong self-confidence of the officers and soldiers of the Independent 1st Division.

"Hahaha!"

"I have to say, this Xu Jin barrage is really pleasing to the eye!"

Watching this scene on the battlefield, Ge Dayong couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly the pinnacle of infantry offensive tactics!"

After hearing Ge Dayong's words, several senior staff officers nearby nodded in agreement.

A senior staff officer smiled and said, "Indeed, the fact that Xu Jin's barrage was finalized within this period of time without the help of our staff is a testament to the capabilities of our forces."

"Even the Japs wouldn't be able to do it!"

As the senior staff officer finished speaking, another senior staff officer followed up, "The Japanese should be able to do it, but while their artillery equipment is much larger than that of other Chinese troops, it's still too small compared to the first- and second-tier military powers in the world."

"Besides, there's no chance for them to use Xu Jin's barrage on the Chinese battlefield."

"This should also be our 1st Independent Division. It has been used in actual combat, and it has happened several times during training."

"..."

Ge Dayong and a group of senior staff officers kept saying something to Xu Jin in the barrage. Their words were very relaxed and comfortable, with indescribable confidence and happiness.

Compared to Ge Dayong's comfort and happiness, the commander of the 27th Division fell into deep despair.

"idiot!!!"

"Xu Jin Danmu!!!"

"Can Chu Feng's Chinese army actually achieve this?"

"Where is our intelligence department? Why do they only say that Chu Feng's troops have strong firepower and good weapons and equipment?"

"Damn it! Is Xu Jin's barrage just about having strong firepower and good weapons and equipment?"

"This means that the quality of Chu Feng's troops is no less than that of the imperial army."

"These bastards who are just sitting in their positions and doing nothing are ashamed!!!" For a moment, the commander of the 27th Division was thrown into disarray.

He didn't expect that after the air bombing and large-scale artillery bombardment ended, the Chinese troops launched an attack and showed off a wave of extremely difficult Xu Jin barrage right at the start.

He had originally had no hope of winning this battle, and now, he felt that this defeat was inevitable and he had no chance of winning!

So when he saw Xu Jin's barrage with his own eyes, he originally thought that the Empire of Japan could also do it. Now that all this is in front of him, he is surprised, shocked, and at the same time, there is only despair.

Only after witnessing the terror of the 1st Independent Division can one know how true the phrase "well-deserved reputation" is.

“Bagya Road!!!”

After cursing again, the commander of the 27th Division looked at Chu Feng's troops who launched the attack, his eyes full of cruelty.

No matter what, the battle has begun. Even if he knows he will lose, he still wants to struggle and compete with Chu Feng's troops.

He can't just admit defeat like that. As a general of the Empire of Japan, he can't afford to lose face!

"Division Commander!"

The Major General Chief of Staff of the 27th Division naturally noticed it as well. His expression and mood were exactly the same as those of his own division commander.

The Major General Chief of Staff couldn't help but look at his own division commander. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, how about you withdraw first!"

"Not in a hurry!"

The commander of the 27th Division sensed the chief of staff's concern and understood his thoughts. He raised his hand slightly, paused, and said, "I'll send a telegram first!" He then said directly, "Record it. Send a telegram to the North China Front Army Headquarters."

"The Chinese are powerful and have fierce firepower. Their soldiers are even better than the Imperial Army. We request support from the Navy!"

The commander of the 27th Division didn't waste any words, because now the only one who could support him was the navy.

Soon, this telegram flew through radio waves and reached the hands of the chief of staff of the North China Front Army who had retreated to Shanhaiguan.

"hiss!"

The Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, who had been running all night, took a deep breath when he saw the telegram: "Baga!!!"

"This battle was so frustrating!"

"It's all the fault of that bastard Terauchi Juichi. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be so passive and wouldn't have been defeated so miserably!"

After cursing Terauchi Hisaichi in his heart, the Japanese chief of staff did not hesitate and sent a telegram directly to the mainland.

Because he had no other choice at this time. The reinforcements were still twelve hours away from the Jinshi battlefield. Based on the current situation, Jinshi could not hold on at all.

He was just a chief of staff, not a commander. If he couldn't handle it himself, why would he insist on doing it? The most important thing was to quickly pass on the blame.

Soon, the telegram traveled across the ocean via radio waves and reached the Japanese homeland.

After it was translated, it was immediately delivered to the hands of the Japanese military leaders!

The war situation in North China naturally concerned the old Japanese soldiers and the Japanese emperor in the Japanese local military.

Because he was too worried, the Japanese emperor could no longer sit still and went to the military headquarters in person.

Just as the Japanese Emperor arrived, this telegram also arrived.

Looking at the contents of the telegram, the Japanese emperor's face turned ashen, and the other old Japanese soldiers also had unhappy expressions.

For a moment, the whole room fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, seeing that everyone still didn't want to speak, the Japanese emperor had no choice but to speak first and break the peace.

The Japanese Emperor took a deep breath, looked at his old ministers, and asked, "What do you think about the situation in Tsu City?"

"Can the army's reinforcements arrive faster? Are there any more personnel available from the Kwantung Army?"

As soon as the Japanese Emperor said this, several old Japanese soldiers in the army looked at each other and finally looked at an army marshal.

"His Majesty!"

Feeling everyone's gaze, the old Japanese marshal didn't play dead, and said directly and frankly: "The situation in Jinshi is beyond redemption!"

"It took too long, the retreat was too slow, and General Terauchi Juichi was seriously injured and unconscious, and now he's in a vegetative state."

"As the commander of the North China Front Army, his injury and coma directly worsened the already uncertain war situation."

"As for the reinforcements, they came from Dongshan Province, Nanhe Province and other places, and they encountered the full force of the Chinese Eighth Route Army."

"The reinforcements from the Central China Front Army also encountered resistance from Chinese troops along the way, and various Chinese troops simultaneously launched attacks on various locations."

"This has stretched our military strength to its limits."

"As for the Kwantung Army, they have lost three divisions of troops. They are unable to withdraw any more troops now. They can only gather some troops to defend Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall to prevent Chu Feng's troops from moving north."

At this point, the Japanese Army Marshal couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's difficult, difficult!"

The Army Marshal's words made the Japanese Emperor look even uglier. He looked at the naval representatives standing by and asked, "Navy, can you offer any support?"

"His Majesty the Emperor!"

When the Admiral heard the Emperor call his name, he knew the navy couldn't play dead. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "It's not that our navy doesn't support us, but in the previous battle, our navy's carrier-based aircraft suffered heavy losses."

"Even though we want to provide support, we are powerless!"

At this point, the Admiral pointed to the battle map and said, "The most important thing is that the commander of the 27th Division did not deploy his position in Jinshi, closer to the sea, but instead placed it more than ten kilometers west of Jinshi."

"Our navy ships, even the largest Yamato-class battleships, have a main gun range of only 40 kilometers. We are completely unable to provide support."

"As for the Marine Corps? Due to some reasons, our Marine Corps has never been developed. It is composed of crew members temporarily transferred from ships."

"A few thousand people are of no help at all in a battle involving over 200,000 people!"

At this point, the Navy Marshal spread his hands helplessly and said, "The most important thing is that we don't have air superiority. If the warships appear in a concentrated area and are discovered by the 1st Air Brigade of the Chu Feng Division of China, it will be a disaster for us."

"The day before yesterday we lost a small fleet, including an aircraft carrier."

"It's true that there are a large number of Imperial troops in Tsu City, but Your Majesty is well aware of the cost of naval vessels. If we don't have the ability to deal with the Chinese Air Force, then our fleet will be a sitting duck in their eyes."

"If we assemble a large force to support them, and then lose a number of warships, the money spent on rebuilding them would be enough to rebuild the weapons and equipment of ten Type A infantry divisions."

As soon as the Navy Admiral said this, the Japanese Emperor showed a look of helplessness.

This is the fact, and he also wants the navy to go to the rescue, but obviously the situation does not allow it.

"idiot!!!"

The Navy's words immediately infuriated the Army. An Army Marshal immediately stood up and yelled, "What do you mean by that, Navy? You've got the largest military budget in the country, yet you claim to be the number one fleet in Asia and the third in the world?"

"At this critical moment, you tell me you can't do this or that? Then what use does the Empire of Japan have to you?"

"Why, your navy ships are treasures, but our army soldiers are not treasures?"

"If our army had the same military budget as your navy, we would not only be able to conquer China, but also the entire Southeast Asia and Siberia of the Bear Country."

"It seems to me that your navy is only concerned with taking up the most military funds and spending all the money on food, drink and entertainment. Look at all the wine you drink and the food you eat."

"The food expenses for one sailor are enough for our army to feed an infantry unit."

"You navy soldiers are under a lot of pressure. You need to eat and drink good things, including Western wine, top-grade sake, and shochu. Don't we in the army have much?"
