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

"Report to the Brigade Commander, Division 1 has sent a telegram, saying that all Japanese and puppet troops from Yuanyuan and Lingqiu counties have been dispatched and are heading towards Yuanxian in two directions!"

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance battalion sent a telegram saying that the Japanese and puppet troops from Yungang City have been dispatched, with a puppet army corps and a Japanese battalion as the vanguard."

"The Japanese and puppet troops from Weixian and Guangxian have also been dispatched. They are expected to engage our defensive forces in three hours."

In the combat command center of the 1st Independent Brigade of Yuan County, information continued to converge on Chu Feng.

This time, Brigade Commander Chu Feng did not go to the front line. He stayed in the command center with Li Mingqiang. Deputy Brigade Commander Ge Dayong went to the direction of Yungang City and was responsible for commanding the 1st and 2nd Regiments and other troops.

Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu went to the Guang-Wei front line and was responsible for commanding the troops there.

"Has any news come back from the flight base?"

Listening to the news one after another, Chu Feng didn't need to make any arrangements. Everything had already been planned out in a predetermined combat plan, and he could just hand it over to Commander Yang Wu, Chief of Staff Wang Tiezhu, and Deputy Brigade Commander Ge Dayong.

Chu Feng looked at it and saw that there was no news coming from the flight base. He couldn't help but ask.

The importance of air supremacy is self-evident. Whoever controls the air supremacy will have the advantage in battle.

Chu Feng has high hopes for the flight base and the flight brigade.

On the one hand, we hope to win the air battle, completely gain air supremacy, and ensure the victory of this battle.

On the other hand, Chu Feng wanted to use the pilot as a technical branch of the army to gain a more specific understanding of the help provided by the system buff and the effect of auxiliary growth.

You know, now he has given everyone, both combat and non-combat, a boost. Everyone's concentration, learning ability, memory, and recovery have all been enhanced.

The improvement of these capabilities will bring about an increase in combat effectiveness.

The disadvantage may be that there will be more casualties.

"no!"

Hearing Chu Feng's question, the combat staff officer responded.

"Send a telegram to the flight base and report any situation immediately."

Chu Feng nodded after hearing this, gave a word of instruction, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water, his expression very calm.

He is very calm now and is not in a hurry at all.

In small-scale battles, the battlefield situation can be clearly seen from the command center, and orders can be issued in a timely manner.

The combined strength of the enemy and our forces in this battle now exceeds 100,000, which is equivalent to a large-scale battle, and personnel deployment cannot be so casual.

In battle, not only frontline commanders and fighters competed, but so did commanders in the rear. What they tested was patience and strategic fortitude, not constant micromanagement.

The war in northern Shanxi was reignited, immediately attracting the attention of people across the country, especially the Second War Zone and the National Government.

Because Chu Feng didn't tell them anything, they knew nothing about the situation here. Even if there were people left here with Chu Feng, they were now excluded. Chu Feng would not reveal any information until the battle was over.

However, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the border areas in the rear were able to obtain a steady stream of new information from the front line.

"Chu Feng, why didn't you report such a big thing?"

Yan Laokou has now learned that Chu Feng led his team to cause trouble in Dayuan City and moved the equipment of his arsenal back. This made him feel relieved but also a little painful.

Now that he sees the battle in northern Shanxi starting again, he is a little anxious. Chu Feng is considered the most combat-capable one in the Second War Zone and is now behind enemy lines, but he does not want to see Chu Feng being eliminated by the Japanese.

As long as Chu Feng exists, his life will be a little easier, and the Japanese must allocate a certain amount of troops to guard against Chu Feng.

"Send another telegram to Chu Feng and ask for the specific situation." Yan Laokou couldn't help but say again.

It's not just Yan Lao who is stingy, the Kuomintang government is the same.

Compared to Yan Laokou's purpose of attracting firepower for himself, the Kuomintang government was afraid that Chu Feng would be eliminated by the Japanese devils, which would undermine the confidence of the people across the country in the war of resistance.

In particular, the situation in the League of Nations has improved a bit during this period, all due to Chu Feng's victory.

However, facing the telegrams from the Nationalist government and the Second World War Zone, Chu Feng threw them directly into the trash can: "The fighting has already started here, and you are still sending telegrams asking about the situation. What is there to ask? Can you support me by asking?"

At the air base, compared to the time-consuming confrontation between ground forces, the fight for air supremacy began at dawn. It can be said that the air battle was probably the first battle to break out in this war.

Before the Japanese army troops were deployed, the planes of both sides began to fight.

At daybreak, three Japanese air squadrons took off from the airport and headed for Yuan County, while the La-7 fighter jets, as usual, helped Chaoyang Chenxi take off for reconnaissance and patrol.

The flight base has been on full alert since yesterday. Every aircraft has been inspected several times, fuel has been refueled and ammunition has been loaded, and the pilots are fully rested and ready for battle.

At eight o'clock in the morning, as the reconnaissance La-7 fighter sent back a telegram that it had discovered a large number of Japanese aircraft, a shrill air defense alarm sounded over the flight base.

"Ooo ...

Gao Yuan, the boss of the flight base, immediately handed over the command of the base to Li Tang, and he personally led the team into the air to fight.

When the air defense alarm sounded, the pilots who had gathered their energy rushed out of the duty room, quickly arranged their tasks on the plateau, and then boarded the plane with the help of the ground crew.

Then one after another La-7 fighters and P-47 Thunder fighters took off. Both La-7 fighters and P-47 fighters were equipped with radios, which could be used for formation communication and ground-to-air communication.

The 53 new fighter jets were divided into three groups, one heading northeast, one heading east, and one heading southwest.

The captured Japanese planes could not fight together with advanced fighter planes due to performance and other reasons, so they were divided into several formations and took off to guard over the flight base.

As for the 20 PO-2 trainer aircraft and 20 B-17 bombers, they continued to stand by, awaiting combat orders from the brigade headquarters.

The air defense regiment also sent a battalion to cooperate with the air defense forces of the flight base to be on high alert for any possible appearance of Japanese aircraft.

To the northeast, Gao Yuan led two understaffed La-7 fighter squadrons with 16 aircraft flying at a rapid speed.

At the same time, the two La-7 fighters responsible for reconnaissance immediately reported the news back after discovering the Japanese flying group. At the same time, the two skilled and courageous pilots did not retreat.

Instead, they took the initiative to meet the challenge. The excellent performance of the La-7 fighter would be unrivaled in the world even six or seven years later, not to mention now, it was two generations ahead of the Japanese.

The Japanese air force naturally also saw these two advanced Chinese aircraft that were teasing them.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!

Not to mention the shame and anger of being teased during this period, there is also the revenge of the last ground-to-air battle. New and old grudges surged in their hearts. The Japanese pilots relied on their large numbers and felt that they could win by numbers.

The man and the woman were in love, and they came together in both directions.

The two pilots were skilled and brave. They cooperated with each other to cover each other and used their superior performance to confuse the Japanese pilot with one maneuver.

"Baga, where are the Chinese planes?"

"Damn it! He actually ran behind us!"

"What? Dodge, dodge!"

The Japanese pilots were so nervous that they were made fun of as soon as the two sides came into contact with each other.

"Da da da!!"

"Da da da!!"

After going around the back of the Japanese plane, the two pilots cooperated and the onboard machine guns opened fire instantly, and 20mm shells flew out.

"boom!"

The Japanese plane failed to dodge in time and was directly blown up in mid-air.

The battle officially began with the sound of machine guns.

The most important thing is that the first wave of attack achieved the first victory, which set a good start for the entire campaign.
