After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

at the same time!

In the entire Second War Zone, after the command from the headquarters was issued, the Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, local armed forces and various forces have all entered the first level of combat readiness!

The news that the Japanese had dispatched five field divisions and hundreds of thousands of elite troops had spread throughout northwest Shanxi.

For a time, the hearts of countless Xia people were shrouded in gloom.

Just when everyone was on high alert and ready for battle, they received a clear text telegram from the headquarters of the Japanese First Army!

"Within ten days, sweep across northwest Shanxi!"

Suddenly, one stone caused a thousand waves!

......

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Daxiawan.

"boom!"

"Damn it! This damn Japanese has such a big mouth!" The deputy commander-in-chief slammed his big hand on the table, and his face turned extremely pale.

"Clear the entire northwest of Shanxi within ten days? Do you really think you can defeat me?"

The content of the telegram was very arrogant and presumptuous, saying that all Xia armed forces would be wiped out within ten days and northwest Shanxi would be incorporated into the territory of Japan.

Any Xia citizen with blood in his veins would be indifferent to this!

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Kazuo Shinozuka is plotting something!" the Chief of Staff couldn't help but speak.

Kazuo Shinozuka declared this in a telegram, saying that this was a strategy to attack the hearts and minds of the people, hoping to undermine the confidence of the anti-Japanese armed forces in northwestern Shanxi.

If he really succeeds, it will be an extremely heavy blow to northwest Shanxi and even the entire Xia Kingdom!

Even if he failed, Kazuo Shinozuka would not suffer any loss.

But his chances of winning were very high, as the strength of the five field divisions was more than enough to sweep across the entire northwest Shanxi in a short period of time.

Even so, the deputy commander was still furious: "Do the Japanese think we are soft persimmons or dough? Do they really think they can do whatever they want?"

"I really don't believe it! This little devil can defeat me within ten days!"

"Pass on my order! All troops disperse and start fighting. Order the New Fourth Division to quickly intercept the Japanese Third Division and completely block them outside the base!" The deputy commander-in-chief ordered quickly, holding back his anger.

"Yes! Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"

......

Second World War Command.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the huge command center was extremely solemn!

After receiving the clear text telegram from Taiyuan, all the senior officers in the headquarters were filled with indignation!

Kazuo Shinozuka was so arrogant that he even threatened to eliminate the entire Xia State armed forces in northwest Shanxi within ten days!

"You son of a bitch Kazuo Shinozuka, do you really think that my Second World War Zone is a vegetarian?" Commander Yan, commander of the Second World War Zone, was furious and slammed the table with his fist.

"Commander Yan, don't be angry!" The deputy beside him immediately asked someone to bring a cup of tea.

"I don't want to drink!" Commander Yan turned his head to the staff officer without even looking at him, "Pass on my order, the Second War Zone will fully engage in the battle! All Shanxi Suiyuan troops will be dispatched to intercept the 101th, th, and st Divisions for me!"

Commander Yan's expression was already chilling at this moment. This telegram from Kazuo Shinozuka had already pushed the Second War Zone to the forefront. If he did not respond, he would probably be stabbed in the back!

As the supreme commander of the Second War Zone and having been operating in northwestern Shanxi for so long, he knew very well that he must not lose his composure.

Besides, the situation is still unclear and it is not certain who will win!

The deputy stepped forward and said, "Commander Yan! The Eighth Route Army has already started a firefight with the Japanese Third Division!"

"In this battle, Kazuo Shinozuka deployed five divisions, but the last one, the 4th Division, the Osaka Division, was left unstopped."

"If the Fourth Division rushes in, it is very likely that the entire Second War Zone will be strategically divided!"

"In this situation, we..." the deputy said solemnly.

Commander Yan waved his hand: "There is no other way. This is the mobilization of all forces!"

"All the equipment produced by the military factories should be distributed to the troops below as soon as possible!"

"I don't ask for much. Ten days. As long as we can hold out for ten days, no matter what the cost, the entire Second War Zone must hold out for me for ten days!"

"We must never let the Japanese or even the people of Xia country laugh at us!" Commander Yan took a deep breath and said.

"Yes! Commander Yan!"

......

A key point in the operation of the mountain city.

A middle-aged man was sitting in the office and was furious. The newspapers on his desk were scattered all over the floor.

"This Shinozuka Kazuo is going too far! This little devil deserves death!"

"Send a message to the Second War Zone Command. All equipment requirements are not a problem, but they must hold out for ten days, even if they have to use their heads!"

"Did you hear that clearly?" the man roared angrily.

"Yes, sir!"

All war preparedness agencies were immediately mobilized and telegrams were sent to all parts of northwestern Shanxi.

According to the instructions, the entire northwest of Shanxi will enter a state of full mobilization. Even at all costs, they must hold on for ten days!

......

Cangyun Mountains, Independent Brigade Headquarters.

During this period, a series of links including infrastructure, training, production, etc. were proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the expanded command center, a huge map of northwest Shanxi is hung on the wall.

Qin Feng was standing in front of the map, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Brigade Commander! Kazuo Shinozuka has launched a full-scale attack. The soldiers below have discovered that the Japanese Third Division has already engaged in a battle with the Eighth Route Army. The situation is not optimistic!" Wang Ke said solemnly.

"What about the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?" Qin Feng didn't even turn his head.

"The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has also been fully deployed, but with its current strength, it can only contain the 101th, th, and st Divisions!"

Qin Feng: "Are there any orders from the division headquarters?"

Wang Ke: "There is no clear order, but the Second War Zone Command has ordered everyone to stop the devils, all troops must obey!"

"The Japanese are coming with great force this time. They have already set up three blockade lines on the periphery. It seems that Kazuo Shinozuka is determined to clear out the entire northwest Shanxi within ten days!" Wang Ke said with a bitter face.

Although there were many troops in the Second War Zone, the only one that could really fight the Japanese head-on was the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. However, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was not as strong as before, and the maximum firepower it could mobilize was only five artillery regiments!

This kind of firepower is completely incomparable to that of the Japanese. A Class A division alone is equipped with a divisional artillery regiment, and there are also a large number of grenade launchers and artillery battalions under each regiment and other firepower configurations!

This kind of firepower is simply beyond their reach!

"Even if the devils are determined, I won't let them succeed!" Qin Feng raised his head suddenly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, "Pass the order down, all officers above the battalion level of the independent brigade, assemble immediately within five minutes!"

“Also, let Wei Dayong and Leng Yue come over to see me!”

"Since the Japanese is so arrogant, I will burst his stomach and let him know what it means to cut off the source of the trouble!" Qin Feng said with a grim expression.
