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

After listening to the major general's addition, everyone looked at this guy coldly.

The lieutenant general who was refuted did the same. He withdrew his gaze and looked back at Yan Laokou, saying, "Sir, these little devils may be very powerful, but we all know the weapons and equipment, firepower density, and personnel training of the Independent 1st Division."

"In my opinion, the Japanese and puppet troops have a 50-50 chance of winning this battle against Chu Feng!"

Having said that, the Lieutenant General of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army paused and continued, "This is based on the strength of the Independent 1st Division. Let's put aside the strength and talk about Chu Feng and the importance of the Independent 1st Division to our China."

"Everyone knows that Chu Feng and the 1st Independent Division have become a signboard of our Second War Zone and a point of confidence for the victory of the War of Resistance. We know what the Japanese are thinking, and they want to destroy Chu Feng."

"So we must not let this happen. We must send troops to support the 1st Independent Division at this time."

With the lieutenant general's opening remarks, others also spoke up and expressed their opinions.

Everyone had the same opinion that their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army must take action.

Even if we cannot send troops to the Independent 1st Division's territory to participate in the battle, we must be prepared. Once the battle starts, we must give the Japanese First Army a powerful counterattack.

"Ok!"

After hearing everyone's analysis and ideas, Yan Laokou nodded slightly and said, "Okay, this is settled. You guys finalize a battle plan and send it to me."

Yan Laokou knew very well that it was impossible for him to stay out of this matter at this time.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army held a meeting, not to mention the Eighth Route Army, which was one of Chu Feng's closest partners.

The safety of Chufeng’s south gate depends on them.

"This time the Japanese and puppet troops came with ill intentions and on an unprecedented scale."

At the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief had a serious expression on his face and said, "We have already spoken with General Chu Feng and the 1st Independent Division several times."

"Our mission in this battle is not easy. If the Japanese attempt to attack the 1st Independent Division from the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, we must stop the invading enemy at all costs."

"We can't let them get close, even if it means losing all our troops."

At this point, the deputy commander paused and said, "At the same time, we will draw 10 main force regiments from other bases to go to the Jin-Cha-Ji base area to participate in the battle."

"Our headquarters' First and Second Artillery Regiments will also participate in the battle."

According to historical developments, the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army has just been released. Veterans are leading new recruits, and the strength of the troops has increased several times since they crossed the Yellow River to participate in the war.

But weapons, equipment and ammunition have always been the Eighth Route Army's weaknesses.

But in this life, we have Chu Feng, whether it is weapons and equipment that Chu Feng provides to the Eighth Route Army.

In order to cooperate with Chu Feng in the battle, the weapons, equipment and ammunition allocated for the battle have made the Eighth Route Army's weapons, equipment and ammunition reserves undergo earth-shaking changes compared to the previous life.

Take the artillery for example. In this life, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters alone formed two artillery regiments.

And they were not small regiments. Each regiment had more than 50 artillery pieces, all of which were 75mm mountain guns and the like. There were no Type 92 infantry guns or the short-range Japanese mortars to make up the numbers.

Not only did the Eighth Route Army headquarters have an artillery regiment, but the three main divisions, each with an artillery regiment, and each brigade with an artillery battalion, were all equipped with Japanese equipment.

The other regiments also had artillery, equipped with the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun and other artillery.

Among them, the First Military Sub-district of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, which is closest to Chu Feng, has the advantage of being close to the water and getting the moon first.

Not only does it have the most in-depth cooperation with Chu Feng, but it also has the largest number of personnel among all the second-level military regions and third-level military sub-districts of the Eighth Route Army.

Commander Yang now has a total of fifteen regiments, all of which are main force regiments with 2,500 people.

Among them, there are thirteen infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry regiment.

The artillery regiment's artillery firepower was quite luxurious. In addition to two battalions of Japanese Type 2 mountain guns, there were also two battalions of 120mm heavy mortars and a Soviet 105mm howitzer battalion.

An artillery regiment consists of 5 artillery battalions and a total of 72 artillery pieces.

Just as the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was holding a meeting, Commander Yang had already arrived in Yuan County.

The national government also hurriedly held a meeting to study the matter.

Although Chu Feng had embarrassed the government in the last incident involving the national treasure, the government did not dare to take the opportunity to retaliate at this time.

"Tell me, the Japanese are coming with such force this time, how should we support Chu Feng?"

Looking at everyone, the government asked, and as soon as he spoke, he confirmed the matter.

He did not ask for everyone's opinions first like Yan Laokou did.

"Sending troops is a bit inappropriate!"

An army general spoke up and said, "One reason is that the distance is too far, and mobilizing personnel is a big problem."

"No one knows when the Japs will launch an attack."

“So in my opinion, we can cooperate with the frontal troops, take the initiative to attack, attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, and thus achieve the goal of supporting Chu Feng.”

As the admiral finished speaking, everyone else nodded in support.

Because in combat, this is the only way.

"Ok!"

The government nodded slightly and said, "Let's put it this way. The battle plan will be handed over to the General Staff."

"In addition to actively attacking on all fronts to attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops, we can also relieve the pressure on Chu Feng."

"At the same time, our propaganda department must also begin to control domestic public opinion to prevent some people from jumping out and stirring up trouble at this time."

"Besides that, Chu Feng has no shortage of supplies, weapons, equipment, and ammunition."

"We'll start with food, daily necessities, and medicine."

"In the name of the National Government, support them with 100 million French francs worth of supplies."

"We contacted the 1st Independent Division and asked them what supplies they needed. We sold them at cost price."

Having said that, the government pointed to the battle map and drew a circle in the northwest with a baton.

"Let the Northern Route Army of the Second War Zone and the warlords in the Northwest contribute their strength. Once the battle begins, take the initiative to attack from Suiyuan Province."

There were no problems with the national government, so the relevant matters were finalized.

As for other local warlords and various forces that were on good terms with Chu Feng, they also contacted Chu Feng as soon as possible.

Like the Sichuan warlords, they could not support the troops, so they prepared a batch of supplies.

There is also a group of 2 soldiers.

The Guangxi clique, the Yunnan clique and other places also contacted Chu Feng by telegram, expressing their willingness to send manpower and supplies.

Among them, the Guangxi clique and the Yunnan clique each raised more than 100,000 oceans worth of supplies and 10,000 soldiers.

Chu Feng also personally sent a telegram to express his gratitude to everyone for their support.
