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

Ge Dayong didn't expect that these bastards would actually play such a trick!

Just create a Xu Jin barrage!

Surprised as he was, he didn't criticize him too much. He was a commander, not a nanny. Within his capabilities, he only needed the results and didn't need to nitpick over every detail or process.

Moreover, the fact that the 1st Independent Division was able to go from finalizing the plan to implementing it in such a short time demonstrates the professional capabilities of its officers and soldiers.

"I have to say, this Xu Jin barrage is really pleasing to the eye!"

Watching this scene on the battlefield, Ge Dayong couldn't help but sigh, "This is truly the pinnacle of infantry offensive tactics!"

In contrast to Ge Dayong's comfort, the commander of the 27th Division was plunged into deep despair.

He felt that this defeat was inevitable, but no matter what, he could still go toe-to-toe with Chu Feng's troops.

But when he saw Xu Jin's comment, he thought, "Even the Great Japanese Empire can handle this, but the Chinese troops? I don't think they can!"

Now, with all of this laid out before him, he was surprised, shocked, and filled with nothing but despair.

Only after witnessing the terror of the 1st Independent Division can one know how true the phrase "well-deserved reputation" is.

"Division Commander!"

The Major General Chief of Staff of the 27th Division looked at his own division commander, his meaning clear: why don't you retreat first!

"Not in a hurry!"

The 27th Division commander slightly raised his hand and said, "I'll send a telegram now!" After saying that, he directly said, "Record it and send a telegram to the North China Area Army Headquarters."

"The Chinese are powerful and have fierce firepower. Their soldiers are even better than the Imperial Army. We request support from the Navy!"

The commander of the 27th Division didn't waste any words, because now the only one who could support him was the navy.

Soon, this telegram flew through radio waves and reached the hands of the chief of staff of the North China Front Army who had retreated to Shanhaiguan.

"hiss!"

The Chief of Staff of the North China Front Army, who had been running all night, took a deep breath when he saw the telegram: "Baga!!!"

"This battle was so frustrating!"

"It's all the fault of that bastard Terauchi Juichi. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be so passive and wouldn't have been defeated so miserably!"

After cursing Terauchi Hisaichi in his heart, the Japanese chief of staff did not hesitate and sent a telegram directly to the mainland.

Japanese military headquarters!

The war situation in North China naturally concerned the old Japanese soldiers and the Japanese emperor in the Japanese local military.

Overwhelmed with worry, the Japanese Emperor could no longer remain seated and personally drove to the military headquarters.

"What kind of support can you provide from the navy?"

The old Japanese soldiers who were discussing the matter received a telegram from the Chief of Staff of the North China Area Army. After reading the telegram, all the old Japanese soldiers present fell silent.

Left with no other choice, the Japanese Emperor broke the silence and looked at his group of veteran ministers, asking them a question.

"His Majesty the Emperor!"

When the admiral heard the emperor call his name, he knew that the navy could not play dead, so he immediately said, "It's not that our navy is unwilling to provide support, but in the previous battle, our naval carrier-based aircraft force suffered heavy losses."

"Even though we want to provide support, we are powerless!"

At this point, the Admiral pointed to the battle map and said, "The most important thing is that the commander of the 27th Division did not deploy his position in Jinshi, closer to the sea, but instead placed it more than ten kilometers west of Jinshi."

"Our navy ships, even the largest Yamato-class battleships, have a main gun range of only 40 kilometers. We are completely unable to provide support."

"As for the Marine Corps? Due to some reasons, our Marine Corps has never been developed. It is composed of crew members temporarily transferred from ships."

"A few thousand people are of no help at all in a battle involving over 200,000 people!"

At this point, the Navy Marshal spread his hands helplessly and said, "The most important thing is that we don't have air superiority. If the warships appear in a concentrated area and are discovered by the 1st Air Brigade of the Chu Feng Division of China, it will be a disaster for us."

"The day before yesterday we lost a small fleet, including an aircraft carrier."

As soon as the Navy Admiral said this, the Japanese Emperor showed a look of helplessness.

This is the fact, and he also wants the navy to go to the rescue, but obviously the situation does not allow it.

"idiot!!!"

The army personnel were immediately enraged. An army marshal stood up and shouted, "What do you mean by this? You receive the largest military budget in the country, yet you claim to be the number one fleet in Asia and the third largest in the world?"

"When it really matters, you tell me you can't do this or that?"

"If our army had the same military budget as your navy, we would not only be able to conquer China, but also the entire Southeast Asia and Siberia of the Bear Country."

The battle between land and sea is an old tradition of the Japanese army!

Sure enough, the Japanese Army Marshal's words angered the navy.

"idiot!!!"

"Are you, a bunch of idiots in the army, worthy of such a huge amount of military funds? Are you too rigid in fighting a war?"

"Since you know that there are only disadvantages without advantages, why not take the initiative to retreat? Preserve your manpower and wait for the next battle?"

"Now, you made a strategic command error. Do you want our navy to take the blame?"

"Bagya Road!!"

"Our navy's attitude is very simple: if you can do it, go for it. If you can't, don't bother."

For a while, the army and navy quarreled in the military room, and everyone blamed each other.

The Army said that the Navy took the money but did not do its job, wasting national resources and money.

The navy said that the army's combat command was rigid, and its advantage was turned into a disadvantage. It refused to retreat even though it was at a disadvantage. Everyone looked at it as a traitor, and it was sent specifically to be eliminated by Chu Feng.

The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in at all. When they got excited, they started fighting.

The Japanese emperor, who was sitting at the top, watched a group of old men fighting each other below, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"idiot!!!"

"You are all high-ranking officials of the Great Japanese Empire, senior commanders of the army. Look at yourselves! What are you thinking? What kind of behavior is this?!"

“Bagya Road!!!”

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was angry, the group of old Japanese soldiers also became more subdued.

But the atmosphere was still very tense. They looked at each other with a look of dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the Japanese emperor being here, they would probably have fought again.

"That's how things are now."

"If the reinforcements can't arrive, then send a telegram to the North China Front Army and ask them to withdraw as many troops as possible."

"At the very least, we must evacuate those high-ranking officers and our future pillars of society. As for those who cannot evacuate, let them fight to the death."

"Kill as many of Chu Feng's troops as possible and provide them with some support for our next decisive battle with them for revenge."

Having said that, the Japanese Emperor looked at the navy and said, "You guys should also prepare and send a ship to pick up these people."

The Japanese Emperor's words made the old Japanese soldiers in the navy and army all breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that this hurdle was temporarily over.

"Hi! Your Majesty is wise!"

All the old Japanese soldiers stood up and knelt down respectfully.
