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

"Gentlemen!"

Wiping away the crocodile tears from the corners of his eyes, General Terauchi Juichi's deep voice rang out.

"Shh!"

In the room, the eyes of all the senior Japanese and puppet army officers were focused on General Terauchi Hisaichi.

"I bear the primary responsibility for this failure!"

As soon as General Terauchi Hisaichi said this, everyone felt relieved. They were afraid that they would become the scapegoat, especially the old Japanese soldiers in the Special High Technology Bureau.

"Chu Feng has grown to a point where we can no longer ignore him."

"I will report this defeat and the specific situation of Chu Feng's tribe to the military and His Majesty the Emperor. We can't let Chu Feng continue to grow like this."

"More than 50,000 troops were killed this time, so how many troops should we use next time?" At this point, Terauchi Hisaichi looked at the person in charge of the Special High Technology Department and said.

"Sato-kun, you, the Special High Technology Department, must intensify your infiltration of the Chu Feng Division during this period of time and obtain as much information about them as possible to obtain intelligence support for our next move."

Hearing General Terauchi Juichi's name being called, General Sato, who was in charge of the Special High Technology Division, immediately stood up and loudly and respectfully responded, "Hi, Commander, we in the Special High Technology Division will definitely work hard."

"well!"

General Terauchi Juichi was very satisfied with General Sato's attitude. He nodded slightly, stood up from his chair, and said, "This defeat will make us unable to launch any more attacks for a period of time."

Terauchi Shouichi pointed at the map and said, "According to current intelligence, Wei County and Guang County have been captured by Chu Feng's forces."

"According to our intelligence, the Huaxia government has taken Yuan County, Wei County, Guang County, Yanggao County, Yangyuan County, Tianzhen County, and Ying County."

"Among these seven counties, Ying County is crucial to the smooth flow of the northern section of the Tongpu Railway, while Yanggao and Tianzhen counties are crucial to the smooth flow of the Pingsui Railway."

"These two railways are two major arteries for us. If Yingxian is lost, the northern section of the Tongpu Railway will be cut off unless we bypass Yingxian."

"If Yanggao and Tianzhen counties are lost, the Pingsui Railway will be cut off. Not only will the railway into Shanxi Province be lost, but the supply to Suiyuan Province and the various minerals, grain, cattle and sheep we need will also be affected."

At this point, General Terauchi Hisaichi's expression grew serious. He said, "The Mongolian garrison has now been established. According to the plans of the military and the Imperial Headquarters, the Mongolian garrison will be placed under the jurisdiction of our North China Front Army."

"I can accept the loss of Guangxian, Weixian, and Yangyuan County, but I absolutely cannot accept the loss of the other three cities along the railway line."

"So I plan to withdraw the troops from Yangyuan County and reinforce them in Tianzhen and Yanggao counties. At the same time, I will dispatch a brigade to Ying County."

"When we no longer have the ability to launch another large-scale attack on Chu Feng's forces, we must switch from an offensive stance to a full-scale defensive one."

At this point, he looked at the person in charge of logistics for the North China Front Army and said, "Mitsu-kun, you should mobilize a group of workers and construction materials, such as cement and steel bars, to build a large number of permanent fortifications in Yingxian, Yanggao, and Tianzhen counties to prevent Chu Feng from retaking these three counties."

Major General Mitsui, who was called upon, immediately stood up and replied respectfully, "Hi, Commander, please rest assured. I will arrange this matter immediately and will commence the construction of the three county towns as quickly as possible."

"well!"

General Terauchi Juichi was very satisfied. He nodded slightly and said, "Instruct the garrisons in the counties surrounding Chu Feng's army that their main task is to stay in the city and not to fight outside the city without orders."

As General Terauchi Hisaichi's order was issued, the Japanese and puppet troops around Chu Feng suddenly became obedient.

December 4th, 7:00 a.m.

Chu Feng and his team have returned to Yuan County, the headquarters of the 1st Independent Brigade.

"Brigade Commander, can we make the announcement now?"

The casualties and spoils of each unit are still being counted. Li Mingqiang, who stayed behind in Yuan County, couldn't help but ask.

"Ok!"

Hearing Li Mingqiang's words, Chu Feng smiled and nodded: "We can announce it now. This time, our 1st Independent Brigade, in conjunction with the Eighth Route Army, has killed so many Japanese and puppet troops. We must also let our Chinese compatriots and our overseas compatriots who care about our domestic war of resistance know this good news."

At this point, Chu Feng seemed to have thought of something, and said to Commander Yang Wu and the representative of the 120th Division beside him, "This time, we have to inconvenience our Eighth Route Army brothers."

Although we acted together with the Eighth Route Army this time, for some reasons, the word "Eighth Route Army" could not appear in the publicity. Therefore, as the party that contributed manpower and manpower, we were unable to enjoy this honor.

"fine!"

After hearing Chu Feng's words, Commander Yang Wu and the representatives of the 120th Division shook their heads. They agreed with this and there was no such thing as grievance. They understood it, and what's more, it was they who brought it up first.

"Old Li, send a telegram to the Second War Zone and the Nationalist government first and report the results of the battle!"

"Then we will send a telegram to inform fellow citizens across the country of this good news."

Following Chu Feng's order, the 1st Independent Brigade began to move.

In the Second War Zone, Yan Laokou, who had retreated to Linfen, finally received the telegram from Chu Feng.

"Sir, sir, telegram, great victory, great victory!"

The adjutant ran in excitedly with a telegram, shouting, "General Chu Feng sent a telegram saying that over 1 Japanese and puppet troops launched a three-pronged encirclement campaign against Yuan County. The 1st Independent Brigade, led by him, and the people of Yuan County rose up in resistance, winning three battles and three victories, completely annihilating the invading Japanese and puppet troops, killing one lieutenant general, four major generals, and dozens of colonels."

"We seized a large amount of supplies and five Japanese infantry regiment flags, and recaptured Guangxian and Weixian in one fell swoop."

Hearing the adjutant's words, Yan Laokou stood up suddenly, took the telegram with a look of shock, and after quickly reading it, he couldn't help but show an ecstasy.

"Well, well done, well done!"

"You are worthy of being the sons of Shanxi Province. You have shown the style of our Second War Zone and the bloodiness of our people in Shanxi Province."

Yan Laokou also knew his own limitations and did not say anything about the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

"This Chu Feng is amazing, so amazing!!!"

"More than 50,000 Japanese and puppet troops, and a tank battalion, were all wiped out by him." When Yan Laokou said this, he thought of the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Dayuan, and then thought that the entire Shanxi Province was about to be in danger, and he couldn't help feeling sad.

"Why is it that our Jinsui Army, with over 100,000 soldiers, can't defeat Chu Feng, who has only risen to prominence a few months ago?"

"Why is it that our weapons and equipment are not bad, but we keep losing again and again?"

“I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out!!!”

Yan Laokou was in a state of joy, surprise, reflection and melancholy, and the government was in a similar mood.

At this time, the coded telegram from the 1st Independent Brigade was also sent out. While the message was still being transmitted and fermented, the consulates of various countries in China also received the coded telegram.

Ambassadors and military attachés from various countries were shocked and incredulous, but they immediately reported the news back home. At the same time, some reporters with a keen sense of smell also passed the news back.

For a time, this victory attracted the attention of the whole world.
