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

Ohara Castle!

It was dark, but the arsenal and the railway station were bustling with activity.

With the help of workers and technicians from the Dayuan Arsenal, a large amount of mechanical equipment was loaded onto trucks and then sent to the train station to start loading.

As for the train drivers needed to drive the train, they were also found.

When the train drivers and loaders heard that it was Chu Feng's Independent 1st Brigade, everyone was very enthusiastic and busy.

Tens of thousands of people were busy working together. As long as dozens of carriages were filled, the train would set off immediately, whirring out of the train station and heading north.

Arsenal. While everyone was busy, Chu Feng also watched the Dayuan Arsenal.

Someone nearby introduced this large-scale arsenal, one of the largest in the country during the Republic of China era, to Chu Feng: "Brigade Commander, all the weapons and equipment produced by the Dayuan Arsenal were taken away by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"But there was no time to transport the machinery and equipment, so a lot of it was left behind."

"We are now moving some mechanical equipment from the artillery factory. Over the years, Yan Laokou has continuously invested in the Dayuan Arsenal."

"There are old mechanical equipment, but also many of the latest equipment." The person who introduced Chu Feng was the director of the arsenal recruited by Uncle Zhao Wu for Chu Feng.

His name is Shi Lei. He is also an old man of Dayuan Arsenal. He witnessed the development of the arsenal. He left the arsenal for some reasons.

When he heard that his brigade commander was going to do something big, he followed him over.

Although Chu Feng brought him a complete mortar production line and a complete rifle production line, as well as a lot of materials and mechanical equipment, there was still a gap compared to the Dayuan Arsenal.

As he spoke, Director Shi patted the equipment being dismantled and said, "This thing is used to process gun barrels. Although our arsenal can produce 60mm mortars, it cannot produce artillery of other calibers."

"Because the production of large-caliber artillery, including artillery shells, cannot be hammered out by a blacksmith, it must rely on mechanical equipment."

"By shipping these back, we will have the ability to produce larger-caliber mortars, such as 82mm mortars and 75mm mountain guns."

"And a lot of technical data was also left behind, along with a large number of workers and technicians. These are all treasures." At this point, Director Shi's eyes were full of anticipation. "Brigade Commander, your unexpected operation this time was truly worth it. The greatest achievement of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's development over the years has been won by you."

"Hahahaha!"

Listening to Director Shi's words, Chu Feng laughed happily: "Old Shi, this is the first time I've heard such disgusting flattery from you."

"hey-hey!"

Upon hearing this, Director Shi chuckled. He didn't seem embarrassed by the teasing, but said sincerely, "This is not a joke. Which of the things you did was unrealistic?"

"Although I am an upright person, I disdain those who are boastful, opportunistic, or take shortcuts. I like those who are down-to-earth."

"I may not be convinced by others, but I am completely convinced by the Brigade Commander!"

In response to Lao Shi's sincere words, Chu Feng chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "I did this because, on the one hand, I really liked these good things and didn't want them to fall into the hands of the Japanese."

"On the other hand, it's also for our own sake. I'm not a saint, I'm just an ordinary person."

At this point, Chu Feng looked at the busy crowd and said, "Okay, Lao Shi, I won't disturb you from working. As I said before, time is short and the task is heavy. Take away everything that can be taken away, and blow up anything that can't be taken away and don't leave it to the Japanese."

Leaving Lao Shi here to preside over the work, Chu Feng went to the train station, took a look at the work there, and then directly set up a temporary command center.

While Chu Feng had basically controlled the situation in Dayuan City, when the first train left Dayuan City, the Eighth Route Army and the Independent 2nd and 3rd Regiments ambushed along the Beitongpu Railway also launched an attack on the target enemy.

They did not start fighting all at once, but instead began attacking from the place closest to Ohara Castle.

For a time, Dayuan City and the Japanese troops along the Beitongpu Railway and highway near Dayuan City were in chaos, with explosions and shouts of fighting everywhere.

In Dayuan City, the Jinsui Army and the intelligence personnel of the Second War Zone who were left behind were a little at a loss in the face of the chaos in Dayuan City. They wanted to go and see what was going on, but they did not dare to act rashly.

The chaos in Ohara City could only be reported back via the radio.

"what?"

Yan Laokou, who was in a bad mood after losing Dayuan City, received a telegram from the intelligence officer. He was a little confused: "Other troops? We still have troops in Dayuan City that have not been withdrawn?"

Old Yan looked bewildered, not knowing what was going on.

"Commander, we no longer have any troops in the direction of Dayuan City, or in the entire north." Hearing Yan Laokou's question, the visitor hurriedly replied.

"Then this is?"

Yan Laokou pointed at the telegram and asked.

"That's not clear!"

The major general shook his head upon hearing this, his eyes full of confusion.

Just when Yan Laokou was confused and didn't know what was going on, the same thing happened on the Kuomintang side.

They also didn't know which troops appeared in Dayuan City. As for the outbreak of fighting on the Tongpu Railway, neither Yan Laokou nor the National Government had received any news yet.

On the other side, several old Japanese soldiers such as Hideki Tojo and Seishirō Sakagami received news that the reinforcements they sent to Ohara Castle were defeated by a Chinese army, and they also said that several Chinese armies were attacking them.

"Nani?"

This fantastic news made the old Japanese soldiers even more confused.

"idiot!"

Lieutenant General Tojo Hideki suddenly drew his command knife and cursed, "Hurry up, go find out for me which unit this arrogant Chinese unit belongs to?"

Despite his anger, Tojo Hideki quickly issued an order: "Pass my order and mobilize two battalions immediately. I want to see how powerful this Chinese army is. Can it be more powerful than Chu Feng's Independent 1st Brigade?"

Just when Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo was angry, the Tongpu Railway also sent a telegram.

After receiving the news, the Major General Chief of Staff did not hesitate and hurried over, saying, "Your Excellency, the garrison of Xinzhou has sent a telegram saying that our railway station and Xinzhou County have been attacked by Chinese troops."

"During the fight, they saw the Eighth Route Army. These Chinese troops had very strong firepower."

The angry Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo was stunned when he heard the Chief of Staff's words.

"Eighth Route Army?!!!"

He thought a lot about this mysterious opponent and guessed many possibilities. Even Chu Feng's Independent 1st Brigade was included, but the Eighth Route Army was not among his considerations.

Even with the facts before him, Lieutenant General Tojo Hideki subconsciously retorted, "Impossible! It absolutely cannot be the Eighth Route Army! What can they use to fight us? How many artillery pieces do they have?"
