War of Resistance: Wipe out a Japanese infantry battalion at the start.

"Yes, Commander!"

The chief of staff was slightly surprised, but he understood and nodded immediately, "Yi County called and said they were attacked by the main force of Chu Feng's army. They are equipped with hundreds of artillery pieces."

"There are at least 20,000 people. The Yixian wing commander has requested support. They can't hold out for much longer."

"Shh!"

General Terauchi Shouichi stood up suddenly. He couldn't sit still any longer. "Baga, what is Chu Feng going to do?"

"Our Imperial Japanese Army didn't provoke him, and it would have been great if we had all lived in peace. Why did he take the initiative to attack? Does he really think I, Terauchi Hisaichi, am made of clay?"

At this point, new and old grudges surfaced in his mind, and General Terauchi Hisaichi could no longer hold back.

He turned around suddenly, his eyes turned red, and he said with a dark face: "Send an order to the surrounding counties of Yi County to send out rapid support to Yi County immediately."

"In order to prevent Chu Feng's troops from moving eastward, we have deployed nearly 20,000 troops here, waiting for this day."

"Tell the defenders of Yi County that even if the city walls are breached, they must fight street battles to hold back Chu Feng's troops and buy time for our reinforcements."

"Even if we all die in battle, we won't hesitate. Once we complete the encirclement of Chu Feng's tribe, they will be heroes and meritorious officials of the empire. The empire will definitely provide the best compensation for their descendants."

"The Empire will also take good care of their families."

When the Chief of Staff heard what General Terauchi Hisaichi said, his expression did not change at all. He just quickly recorded General Terauchi Hisaichi's orders.

General Terauchi Juichi's voice rang out again: "At the same time, order our second- and third-line troops to immediately support Yi County."

"The preparations we made to prevent an eastward advance from Chufeng are finally being put to use." General Terauchi Juichi's face was filled with anger, and now it was filled with confidence. He said, "Tell the garrisons of Yi County and the four surrounding counties to hold Chufeng's forces at bay."

"As long as they can hold out for half a day, the second-line troops will arrive. Then, by cooperating with the second-line troops and holding out for a day, the third-line troops will arrive."

"By then, my army of over one hundred thousand will gather together. Without the advantage of terrain, what will Chu Feng use to fight me?"

"He has good weapons and equipment, and we are not much worse."

"Even if we can't wipe them out completely, we can still force them back and tear off a piece of flesh from Chu Feng."

"For us, the Empire of Japan, this result is completely acceptable. We can use it as an opportunity to undermine China's resolve to resist."

After the chief of staff finished recording, he hurried away to convey the order.

As for General Terauchi Hisaichi, he was not in the mood to eat. He wiped his mouth, put on his coat, and walked towards the combat command room, where he would sit and command the battle personally.

The last failure made him feel very frustrated. He misjudged that Chu Feng actually had super-large caliber artillery.

But it’s different now. Fighting in plains is different from fighting in the mountains. The Japanese Empire is easily ambushed in the mountains and forests. The Chinese can use the terrain to fight, but what can they use on the plains?

Terauchi Hisaichi was determined to win this battle.

Terauchi Shouichi didn't have the confidence to achieve a great victory, but the blows had caused Chu Feng to suffer setbacks and small failures, and he felt that victory was in his grasp.

As General Terauchi Hisaichi issued the order, the tranquility of the entire Pingjin area was broken, and a large number of Japanese and puppet troops began to move out. Japanese and puppet troops in Peking, Tianjin, Shimen, Baofu and other places were all mobilized.

They began to move towards Yi County. If the movements of the Japanese and puppet troops were marked on the map, we could see that a three-level semi-encirclement was formed with Yi County as the core, and it was rapidly shrinking towards the core of Yi County.

Chu Feng didn't know what General Terauchi Hisaichi was thinking. At this time, in a small town ten kilometers away from Yi County, it became a temporary front-line command center.

As soon as the Japanese and puppet troops in the other four counties made any movement, they were discovered by the reconnaissance team, and the telegram came into Chu Feng's hands.

"Report to the division commander, the Japanese and puppet troops in the other four counties have been dispatched!"

"The Japanese and puppet troops in every county were deployed in full force, each with around 5,000 men, leaving less than 200 to 300 men behind in the county."

"They are all making rapid strides toward Yi County."

Listening to the combat staff's quick report, Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Well done, well done!"

"I'm also worried that these Japanese and puppet troops will need to observe before moving out."

Thinking of this, Chu Feng said directly: "Send a telegram to the staff, Deputy Division Commander Ge, and tell them to proceed according to the original plan."

"Yes, Commander!"

The operations staff officer responded, turned around and quickly went to send a telegram.

"Report to the division commander, telegram!"

At this moment, another combat staff officer came over and handed the telegram to Chu Feng.

"Ok?"

Chu Feng took it and took a quick glance, his brows raised slightly. "How could the Japanese and puppet troops react so quickly? They were all dispatched from more than a dozen surrounding counties and headed towards Yi County."

"I understand that the Japanese and puppet troops in Baofu were alarmed, but are the Japanese and puppet troops in Shimen and Jinshi also alarmed?"

Having said that, Chu Feng stood up and walked to the map. At this time, the combat staff had already drawn all the counties mentioned in the telegram. Chu Feng smiled after just a glance.

"Hehehe!"

"Okay, I'm still quick. The Japanese and puppet troops moved so quickly."

"It seems our General Terauchi Hisaichi is no fool. He has put a lot of effort into countering the eastward advance of our Independent 1st Division!"

Listening to Chu Feng's words, Commander Yang Wu beside him also read the telegram, nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right, these little devils actually set up three encirclements to prevent the Independent 1st Division."

"It seems that this old devil Terauchi Juichi is scared by you!"

Chu Feng chuckled upon hearing this, and without refutation, he said with a smile: "The Japanese are coming with great force, and their idea is good, but how can they be sure that the garrisons of these five counties can hold back our Independent 1st Division?"

"If they hadn't rushed out and sacrificed Yi County, I might have stayed a while to expand my victory. But now, my target has taken the initiative to come out and crawl into my arms."

At this point, Chu Feng sneered: "In this case, I won't be polite!"

"Otherwise, Terauchi Shouichi will despise me for not understanding romance."

Commander Yang Wu also laughed when Chu Feng finished speaking. He also felt that this Terauchi Hisaichi was a little cute.

Originally, Chu Feng and his men were worried about how to lure the Japanese and puppet troops in the other four counties if they didn't take the bait, so they set a two to three-day combat mission.

They also made a plan to launch a direct assault if the Japanese and puppet troops did not take the bait. Now the subsequent assault plan is no longer useful.
