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

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, a telegram from Commander Terauchi Hisaichi!"

Soon, this telegram reached the hands of the Japanese brigade commander, Major General.

"Nani?"

The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, was stunned at first, then he reached out to take it and took a look. His originally gloomy expression eased a lot.

General Terauchi Juichi's telegram was simple: "I order your troops to immediately launch an attack on the enemy in front of you. Be sure to find out the specific number of personnel and weapons and equipment of Chu Feng's troops."

General Terauchi Hisaichi had a good idea, but his order lacked the most crucial part, which was to inform the Yungang City authorities of the annihilation of the Japanese and puppet troops.

This caused the Major General Brigade Commander at the front line to misjudge the enemy situation. Although Chinese troops had appeared behind him, he did not think much about it.

After all, there are three routes to attack Yuan County. Even if he is surrounded, there are still two other armies.

The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, originally wanted to report that Chinese troops had appeared behind him and that the artillery unit had been completely wiped out, but coincidentally, General Terauchi Hisaichi's telegram arrived first, so the Japanese brigade commander, Major General, decided to report after the test was completed.

Both sides have considered this, and there is nothing wrong with it from their respective standpoints, but the problem lies here. Effective information is not circulated, which leads to an information gap between the two sides.

"It seems that Commander, you think the same as we do!" The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, said to the chief of staff beside him with emotion.

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese Chief of Staff also nodded in agreement and said, "In my opinion, it's probably because the other two routes are blocked that we need to exert pressure."

After more than ten minutes, the pre-war preparations were completed.

In order to adapt to the range of the Type 92 infantry gun, more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops' attacking force were divided into two and assembled directly one thousand meters away from the position.

As for the artillery unit composed of the entire army's Type 92 infantry guns, it was deployed at a distance of about two kilometers. At the same time, in order to prevent the artillery of the Chinese troops, these artillery officers gave orders one by one.

After firing five or six shells, they immediately moved their position.

The Type 92 infantry gun is light and easy to move, and orders are also easily executed.

"Chief of Staff, news has come from the front line that more than 4,000 Japanese and puppet troops are ready to attack." A combat staff officer reported loudly.

"Ok!"

Wang Tiezhu also saw this scene. He nodded slightly and said, "Send a telegram to the front line and tell them to take it easy. We can't let the Japanese take advantage of us, nor can we scare them."

"Our main goal now is to buy time for reinforcements."

Thinking of this, Wang Tiezhu paused for a moment and said, "All regimental artillery battalions and battalion artillery companies should refrain from opening fire. Let the company and platoon firepower handle the firepower."

"At the same time, hide two-thirds of the light and heavy machine guns and half of the personnel. You can put the Japanese and puppet troops 100 to 50 meters in front of the position. Remember, you must show the enemy weakness."

At this point, Wang Tiezhu paused and continued, "Order the 1st Battalion of the 1st Artillery Regiment to have some fun with the Japanese artillery."

Wang Tiezhu took great pains to make the Japanese and puppet troops feel at ease in confronting him.

As Wang Tiezhu's order was issued, the front-line positions became busy. The relevant personnel led the weapons and equipment to retreat quickly. The third and fourth regiments each deployed a battalion on the first line of defense.

The light and heavy firepower has weakened, but the company and platoon firepower has not weakened. We should show the enemy weakness but not too much weakness.

Soon, the Japanese artillery bombardment began, and the attacking troops began to advance under the cover of artillery.

Yuan County!

Chu Feng, who was in charge of the brigade headquarters, was very happy at this time. Good news was coming in from the battles on the three fronts.

After the victory in the battle of Yungang City, he was grinning from ear to ear. When he heard Li Mingqiang ask if he wanted to release the information in clear code, he smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No hurry, the battle is still going on. We'll release it together after the battle is over."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, send a telegram to Commander Yang Wu and tell them to clear the main road without worry, so that the Japanese and puppet troops can advance in large strides. The main force will be deployed along the ancient porcelain kiln line."

"At the same time, send one or two regiments to the enemy's rear to cut off the Japanese and puppet troops' retreat."

Chu Feng couldn't help but stand up and said confidently: "The Japanese and puppet troops in Yungang City have been eliminated. The annihilation battle of the Japanese and puppet troops in Guangxian and Weixian has not yet begun, but it will be soon."

"Once the Japanese and puppet troops of the 67th Brigade are eliminated, General Terauchi Hisaichi will be alert and react. We must take advantage of this opportunity to let in as many Japanese and puppet troops as possible from Lingqiu and the source."

"That's what they call, easy to get in, hard to get out."

At this point, Chu Feng paused slightly, took a sip of water, and said, "Give orders to the motorcade again. They are the main force in transporting personnel, weapons, and equipment."

"Once the Japanese puppet troops, led by the 67th Brigade, are captured, our main force will be immediately transported southward to reinforce the First Military Division."

"When ordering the logistics troops, they must ensure the supply of materials, the transportation of wounded soldiers, etc., and promptly replenish ammunition and food to each unit after the battle. The cleaning of the battlefield will be left to the new recruits."

"Order the Yuanxian Garrison Regiment to depart in three hours. After the main force has eliminated the 67th Brigade, it will, with the support of the 1st Battalion of the 1st Artillery Regiment and the Reconnaissance Battalion, recapture Guangxian and Weixian counties and garrison the pass from Weixian to Yangyuan and Zhuoxian counties."

Since receiving advanced infantry command training, Chu Feng's strategic vision and tactical level have developed by leaps and bounds. Sitting in Yuan County, he looks at the battle map and progress, and he feels at ease and confident in controlling the overall situation.

"Yes, Brigadier!"

Li Mingqiang nodded vigorously upon hearing this and turned to give orders.

Time passed little by little, and the battle on the Guangxian and Weixian fronts lasted for more than 40 minutes. With the intentional cooperation of Wang Tiezhu, the Japanese and puppet troops attempted to attack twice. In the second attack, they had approached about 80 meters in front of the first line of defense.

The Japanese and puppet troops and the people from the 1st Independent Brigade were already able to see each other.

Finally, facing the tenacious resistance of the 1st Independent Brigade and the fire support of the 1st Artillery Battalion, the Japanese and puppet troops were repelled.

"well!"

After receiving the first-hand information and battle report summary after the battle, the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander smiled arrogantly: "Although we suffered a great loss at the beginning and lost our main artillery, we have already figured out the strength of the Chinese."

"The Chinese are just a name for nothing. They don't have many troops and their firepower isn't strong. We were just testing the waters, and we almost reached their positions. If it weren't for their artillery bombardment, we would have succeeded."

Having said that, he confidently leaned on his command knife and said proudly: "It seems that we will be the first of the three armies to enter Yuan County and capture Huaxia Chu Feng alive, hahahaha!"

The other Japanese and puppet troops were also infected and laughed wildly and confidently.

"Chief of Staff, please send this information to the Commander-in-Chief. Also, please wait for good news from the 67th Brigade."

The Japanese brigade commander, Major General, was very inflated, as if Chu Feng had become his prisoner.

"Hi Yi!"

The Japanese chief of staff responded and turned to forward the telegram.

At this time, just when the Japanese Major General Brigade Commander felt that everything was under control, he did not know that the Reconnaissance Battalion, the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the 2nd Artillery Regiment had surrounded him from the north and south sides.

While the Japanese brigade commander, Major General, was waiting for a reply from the North China Front Command, he was organizing his troops to launch another attack.

This time, he directly invested more than half of his troops, preparing to break through the defense line of the Chinese troops in one fell swoop.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, our troops have been deployed!"

At the front-line command, as the troops moved into place, Ge Dayong also met up with him more than ten minutes ago, and the opportunity for a general attack finally arrived.

"Order!"

Wang Tiezhu didn't waste any words and shouted confidently, "Three flares will be launched. All troops, attack the enemy in front of you!"
