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

Faced with Li Yunlong's slightly joking question, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Yunlong! To be honest, I am indeed curious!"

"But I see Brother Yunlong is here. Could it really be that the Eighth Route Army is fighting the Osaka Division?"

"Could it be that the 386th Brigade is responsible for the main attack?"

As soon as Chu Yunfei said this, he rejected this guess in his heart. The strength of the 386th Brigade was indeed good, but it was only relative to the Eighth Route Army.

And the heavy firepower he has seen so far is definitely not something that a brigade can possess!

"Haha! Brother Chu, you only guessed half right." Li Yunlong said slowly, "It is indeed a brigade, but it is not our 386th Brigade."

"If I were to tell you that this battle was fought by your army's independent brigade, how would you feel, Brother Chu?"

......

At this moment.

Second World War Supreme Command.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang from the desk, and various documents and office supplies were thrown to the ground.

"Damn it! The Japanese are going too far!" Commander Yan didn't care about his palms that were red from being slapped, his expression was filled with uncontrollable rage.

The adjutant also said bitterly: "Commander Yan! The Japs' attack speed is too fast!"

Up to now, almost all the main forces of the entire Shanxi-Suiyuan Army have been forced to retreat, and more than 30 positions have been lost.

It's been less than two days and the situation has turned out like this.

The most fatal thing in this situation is morale. The morale of the entire army has plummeted and is almost hitting the bottom!

Commander Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He turned to look at his adjutant and asked, "What's the situation on the Eighth Route Army side?"

The adjutant shook his head: "Commander Yan, the situation is not optimistic either."

"According to the intelligence we received, the Eighth Route Army is clearly determined to fight the Japs to the death. Not only have they dispersed their main forces, but they have also built hundreds of small positions on the Japs' path!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Yan's face was moved: "The Eighth Route Army is using the lives of their soldiers to forcibly delay the Japs!"

Dispersing the main force is a taboo on the battlefield!

But this is enough to show that this battle can no longer be won, it is just a matter of delaying for a certain period of time.

If Kazuo Shinozuka really clears out northwestern Shanxi within ten days, the entire Xia country's voice in the international community will only become lower and lower, and the backbone of the Xia people will be forced to bend!

Commander Yan stood up suddenly and said, "Pass my order! Order all troops to follow the example of the Eighth Route Army and disperse!"

"No matter the number of casualties or the heavy losses, we must hold off the Japs' advance!"

"Within ten days, you are not allowed to take even a single step back. Do you understand me?"

The adjutant took a deep breath and straightened his back suddenly: "Yes! Commander Yan!"

Just as the adjutant was about to go out, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the door.

"Report to Commander Yan!"

"Chu Yunfei's unit of the 358th Regiment is calling!"

The signalman walked quickly into the office with a telegram in hand.

"Chu Yunfei?"

Hearing these three words, Commander Yan's heart subconsciously tightened, and he hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and tell me!"

The situation in northwestern Shanxi at this time was based on the fact that the Osaka Division had not yet penetrated deep into the hinterland of northwestern Shanxi. Once the Osaka Division entered, the time they could hold on would be greatly shortened.

The Dongyaosi Heights held by the 358th Regiment was undoubtedly the first barrier to block the Osaka Division.

The signalman quickly reported: "Commander Yan! The 358th Regiment reports that they have successfully arrived at the designated location and completed the deployment!"

"But so far, they haven't found any trace of the Osaka Division."

"At the same time, there were signs of a large-scale battle taking place in the Cangyun Mountains!"

Hearing this report, Commander Yan frowned subconsciously: "Didn't find the Osaka Division? Large-scale battle?"

The adjutant at the side also quickly spoke up: "Commander Yan, it can't be that there are troops fighting with the Osaka Division, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the adjutant realized that he had said the wrong thing.

That’s the Osaka Division, the Japanese’s Class A division, the ace elite!

At present, we have only discovered the movement of a battle, which does not mean anything yet, after all, the Osaka Division has not appeared yet.

"Not sure!" Commander Yan also shook his head.

The situation has developed to this point. Logically speaking, the Osaka Division should have entered the Cangyun Mountains at least a day ago, but now...

"Cangyun Mountains..." Commander Yan chewed on this place carefully, he always felt that it seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, he said out of the blue, "If I remember correctly, the 65th Division Independent Brigade is stationed in the Cangyun Mountains, right?"

After thinking for a moment, the adjutant quickly gave an answer: "Commander Yan, that's right! The main forces of the entire Second War Zone are on the main battlefield. This independent brigade is a newly formed unit and has not been directly dispatched by the headquarters. It should still be in the Cangyun Mountains!"

"That's strange!" Commander Yan frowned immediately.

Of course, he was deeply impressed by this independent brigade. If the troops of this independent brigade had not arrived in time, his safety in Daxia Bay would have been seriously threatened.

Especially the sharpshooting company whose every shot was deadly and whose combat power was extremely strong, which opened his eyes!

Now the Osaka Division's movements are a bit strange, and the Independent Brigade is near the Cangyun Mountains. Will there be any conflict between the two...

Commander Yan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't come up with a definite answer.

He knew that even if he racked his brains here, it would be of no help in getting to the truth of the matter.

So he simply took a deep breath and said, "Notify the Communications Department to pay close attention to the telegrams from the Independent Brigade and the 358th Regiment!"

"If anything happens, report to me immediately!"

"Yes! Commander Yan!"

......

"Brother Yunlong! Are you serious about what you said?"

After listening to what Li Yunlong said, Chu Yunfei subconsciously widened his eyes, and even his breathing became disordered.

Six main battalions?

The strength of each battalion has exceeded 3000, and some are almost catching up with a brigade?

Seeing Chu Yunfei's reaction was exactly the same as his before, Li Yunlong couldn't help but find it funny. He finally found someone who shared the same pain as him.

"Brother Chu, please don't disbelieve me! This is the Osaka Division. If you think what I said is false, can the independent brigade stop the attack of the Osaka Division?"

"Not to mention that the firepower is evenly matched and the fight is difficult to determine!" Li Yunlong shook his head.

He understood Chu Yunfei's thoughts at the moment. No matter who heard this situation, they would have the same expression.

Three or four thousand people in a battalion?

Chu Yunfei suppressed the shock in his heart and said, "Then Brother Yunlong! If what you said is true, then the strength of this independent brigade must be more than 20,000 people, right?"

There are six main battalions, each with more than three thousand troops. If the extra people are included, wouldn’t the total number be more than twenty thousand?

"No!" Li Yunlong shook his head.

"To be exact, it's over thirty thousand!"
