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

"We won?" Commander Yan stood up suddenly, a look of disbelief on his face, "The Japanese lost more than half of their forces?"

No matter what, he never expected that more than half of the Japanese tank brigade would suffer casualties.

In other words, nearly fifty tanks were eliminated by the independent brigade?

The signalman wiped his eyes and nodded: "Commander Yan, the information is true!"

"What is the specific situation? Tell us clearly!" Commander Yan quickly spoke and gestured.

Afterwards, the signalman told all the information he knew, and the armored battle outside Taiyuan City was also fully presented to the command center.

...

"You mean, the independent brigade not only has an armored unit, but also a battalion?" Commander Yan's face turned pale instantly.

According to the battle report, the tank battalion of the independent brigade was extremely powerful and was able to achieve such amazing results even when facing an opponent that was several times its size.

This means that this armored battalion not only has advantages in performance and armor, but its command and combat as well as individual combat qualities are also far stronger than those of the Japanese!

So the question is, he himself doesn't have any of these things, so how did he come up with the independent brigade under his command?

Tank sourcing channels, tank technician training, tank maintenance and logistics supplies, are these things something that an independent brigade commander can handle?

To make an analogy, it is like he himself has no wife, but his son has married and has a grandson.

I have no clue and am at a loss!

"Thoroughly investigate the connection between the military and Shancheng, and focus on finding out who Qin Feng met when he was in military school." Commander Yan suddenly said.

He is not a fool, and he does not think that Qin Feng can develop to such a scale in such a short time. The only possibility is that someone is supporting him secretly.

"Yes! Commander Yan, I will do it right away." The deputy took a deep breath and said.

Then, the deputy looked a little hesitant: "But Commander Yan, judging by the time, the four divisions of Shinozuka Kazuo will probably be assembled soon. Do you think the independent brigade can really survive these seven days?"

In fact, according to the schedule, there are still two and a half days left for the independent brigade.

Previously, neither the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army nor the Eighth Route Army, and even the entire Xia State were optimistic about the Independent Brigade's move, believing that it would be defeated after only one day.

But now it seems that everyone was wrong!

Counting the time so far, the Independent Brigade has held out for four days, and the only thing left is the last hurdle!

That means the independent brigade only needs to stop Kazuo Shinozuka's four field divisions?

Commander Yan pondered for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "It's hard to say, but we should start preparing."

The deputy shuddered: "Commander Yan! What do you mean?"

"After this battle, the people in Shancheng will definitely not sit idly by." Commander Yan's expression gradually became solemn.

"Pass on my order! The Second War Zone has activated the first-level combat readiness. All members of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army are on standby and are ready to go into battle at any time!"

With the performance of the Independent Brigade in this battle, this is no longer just an opportunity for northwestern Shanxi, but also an opportunity for the entire Xia Kingdom!

Now the international community has turned its attention here. If we can win this battle, the international status of Xia country’s soldiers will increase significantly!

For the Xia Kingdom today, this is undoubtedly a huge help!

"Yes! Commander Yan!" Although still a little doubtful, the deputy suddenly stood at attention.

......

The Supreme Headquarters of the Japanese First Army.

"Damn it! How could things have developed to this point?"

Kazuo Shinozuka's face was extremely ugly, and his facial features were even beginning to distort due to anger.

The tank brigade he had tried his best to mobilize suffered more than half casualties, and its combat effectiveness was severely damaged!

Now there are news of casualties on the front lines coming in all the time. Is this still their empire's invincible armored force?

"General...General!

"Your Excellency Brigadier General Okamoto did not expect that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army actually has a complete armored unit, and a tank battalion at that!" said the deputy with a gloomy expression.

"This is not the reason why Okamoto was defeated!" Shinozuka Kazuo clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

In order to solve Taiyuan's problem as soon as possible, he even gave up the pride he had always held on to.

He did not hesitate to spread the news of his failure and escalate the situation, hoping that he could get rid of this damn Xia army in a short time!

But now...it's all over!

The entire Xia country, and even the whole world knows that their offensive has been thwarted today, and he, Kazuo Shinozuka, and the First Army will become a huge laughing stock!

"Baka!" Shinozuka Kazuo became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He slapped the table hard, and even though his palm was burning, he remained indifferent.

"How long will it take for the army to assemble?" Shinozuka Kazuo turned his head and glared at his deputy.

"Your Excellency the General! There is still half a day!" The deputy wiped the sweat from his head.

"Then let them live for another half a day! I will make them completely shattered to pieces and buried with Yamamoto-kun, the Yamazaki Battalion, and the Osaka Division!" Shinozuka Kazuo roared with red eyes.

"Hayi!"

......

Independent brigade command operations room.

At this moment, in the operations room, backbones and cadres at all levels of the brigade gathered together!

Sitting at the top were the commanders of the main combat forces, including Wang Ke, Yang Song, and Zhou Weiguo.

Below them are Leng Yue, Sun Debiao, Wang Chengzhu and other brigade-affiliated personnel.

Going down further, there are battalion and company level cadres such as Duan Peng and Wei Dayong. As for those at the lower level, they are completely not qualified to attend this meeting.

In addition to the main cadres of the independent brigade, there is also Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment, followed by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Cheng Xiazi and other main regiment commanders of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

"Brigade Commander!"

"Brigade Commander!"

"Brigade Commander!"

When Qin Feng appeared in the operations room, everyone stood up and spoke.

"Everyone sit down, we are all family."

Qin Feng slowly walked to the main seat, looked around and nodded.

Then, his eyes fell in one direction.

"Leng Yue."

"Here!" Leng Yue stood up quickly and straightened his back.

"In this battle, the armored battalion showed its power!" Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Brigade Commander, there are actually still many shortcomings. If we can encircle the rear route as soon as possible, I can block the enemy's retreat direction." Leng Yue said with regret.

The strategic direction is correct, but the way the strategy is implemented is also not well thought out.

When the armored battalion was about to launch a stranglehold on the Japanese tank brigade, the Japanese used their numerical advantage to gain a retreat and left the battlefield.

The Japanese army was about to complete its assembly, and the artillery positions in the rear were also ready. Leng Yue had no choice but to retreat.

All I can say is that this battle is not perfect enough, they can do better!

"You've done a very good job. After all, this battle is not an encounter." Qin Feng looked at Leng Yue with satisfaction.

In fact, his original intention was only to defeat the Japanese, not to annihilate them completely. After all, with more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers watching covetously, it was unrealistic to annihilate the tank brigade completely!

"Yes! Captain!" Leng Yue, who was praised, showed a rare happy expression.

His handsome face was praised in front of everyone, and his expression also showed a little difference.

But even so, no one present, whether it was Li Yunlong or Chu Yunfei, dared to underestimate this young man.

They all understood the gap between the two sides. Being able to lead an armored force to achieve such an amazing result in a short period of time showed that the other party had outstanding capabilities, which was unique in Xia Country!

This kind of officer who understands mechanized combat command is a sought-after commodity wherever he is!

After encouraging Leng Yue, Qin Feng turned around and looked at everyone.

"Since we have called this meeting today, I will keep it short."

"After the decision of the Brigade Headquarters, the Independent Brigade will be fully deployed in three hours!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present could hardly believe their ears.

"Full-scale military deployment?!"

"Brigade Commander! Kazuo Shinozuka's army is about to gather! If we send out a full-scale attack now, won't we run into him?" Yang Song couldn't help but speak.

"No!" Qin Feng shook his head. "The Japs want to launch a large-scale, all-out attack, which requires coordination. Otherwise, they would have been at the gates of the city long ago."

"And this period of time in between is the only time we can grasp!"

When these words were spoken, not only the people in the independent brigade, but also Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, Chu Yunfei and others standing by were confused.

Li Yunlong frowned: "But Lao Qin, even if we seize this time, what can we do?"

More than 100,000 Japanese troops were assembled and mobilized, but they took the initiative to send troops?

What exactly does Qin Feng want to do!
