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

When Qin Feng slowly finished speaking these words, the entire command room had fallen into dead silence.

Obviously, almost everyone was shocked by Qin Feng's remarks!

If the Japanese could counterattack so easily, then the independent brigade's control of Taiyuan City would not have caused any shock throughout the country of Xia.

This is the general environment. Even on the front battlefield they are losing ground. What can they do in the Second War Zone?

"Report to the brigade commander!"

"The Japanese have deployed artillery positions fifteen kilometers outside the defense line and are expected to launch an attack in twenty-five minutes!"

At this time, the voice of a communications soldier sounded from outside the door.

Upon hearing this news, Kong Jie was immediately shocked: "Twenty-five minutes? Lao Qin, we still have time to retreat now!"

The Japs' current actions are nothing more than trying to gather all their forces to capture Taiyuan, and then free up troops to clear out the supporting forces, so as to achieve the goal of wiping out the effective forces of the Second War Zone.

Five hundred heavy artillery pieces!

This is simply a formidable artillery force!

In response, Qin Feng remained expressionless: "Monk!"

"exist!"

"Immediately give orders to Wang Chengzhu of the exclusive artillery regiment to suppress the enemy's heavy artillery at all costs!"

"Yes! Commander!" Wei Dayong immediately stepped forward and responded.

"Also, notify Leng Yue that the armored battalion will attack in ten minutes and break through Shinozuka Kazuo's encirclement!"

"As soon as they move, the independent brigade will launch a full-scale counterattack!" Qin Feng ordered in a deep voice.

Everyone present was stunned. They thought they might have heard it wrongly.

Even if the armored troops were dispatched, it would be impossible for them to break out within ten minutes, right?

After all, the Japs have 500 heavy artillery pieces ready to go!

The strange expressions on everyone's faces did not affect Wei Dayong. He responded without hesitation: "Yes! Commander!"

......

The buffer zone outside the city.

A yellowish sandstorm is sweeping towards this side.

Behind the Japanese, soldiers in khaki uniforms were appearing on the battlefield in large numbers.

They gathered together like a tidal wave, becoming more and more numerous and denser, and one could not even find the end at a glance.

Along with these devils, there also appeared a large number of military green heavy trucks.

Hundreds of heavy trucks were lined up in a line to form formations, and the Japanese kept adjusting them up and down until all of them were assembled.

Looking around, motorcycles were leading the way, and behind each heavy truck was a heavy artillery.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. So many devils are enough to create a visual sense of oppression!

"General! The 21st Brigade Artillery Regiment, the 17th Brigade Field Artillery Regiment, and all independent artillery units have assembled!"

A Japanese deputy quickly walked up to a thin Japanese general wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

This person was Hinakawa Okazaka, who was ordered by Kazuo Shinozuka to coordinate these heavy artillery units.

Contrary to the stereotype of his name, Richuan is not a big guy and can even be considered a little thin.

But even in such a thin body, there is extraordinary cruelty.

On the battlefield, Hinakawa Okazaka is never merciful to his enemies, nor does he show any mercy, and he will never let go of any Xia soldier.

"Notify them! This is our only chance to avenge our humiliation!"

"If they fail to capture Taiyuan, I will personally send them to see His Majesty Tianhuang!" Hikawa Okasaka suddenly turned his head with a gloomy look on his face.

After nearly five days of hard attack, they still failed to break through the defense line of the Xia army.

Osaka Division, Tank Brigade...

This level of battle damage was unprecedented even in their most difficult battle in Xia State - the Battle of Songhu.

"But fortunately, all this is finally coming to an end." Hinakawa Okazaka murmured.

Now General Shinozuka has mobilized all the heavy firepower of the four divisions, a total of 500 heavy artillery pieces, to complete all-round firepower coverage in the shortest time possible.

Unless the Xia army could disappear out of thin air, they would be unable to escape such heavy firepower.

And Hikawa Okamoto also secretly made up his mind that once the defense of the independent brigade was broken, he would annihilate them all and never let the dignity of the empire be tarnished again!

"Ha!" The officer lowered his head suddenly.

"Also, tell them that General Shinozuka will be following up on this battle in real time. If they fail, I will personally commit seppuku for them!"

"Launch the attack in two minutes!" said Hinakawa Okazaka expressionlessly.

The officer shuddered subconsciously: "Ha Yi!"

......

On the Taiyuan city wall at this time.

Around Qin Feng, various generals had gathered. Except for the cadres of the independent brigade, the friendly troops of the 386th Brigade accounted for the majority.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Cheng Xiazi, Xu Chang and others were among them, even the two captains of the county brigades were among them.

In comparison, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong seemed somewhat "isolated and helpless".

"Lao Qin! The Japanese have assembled!" Li Yunlong put down the telescope in his hand and swallowed subconsciously.

The Taiyuan city wall is quite a distance away from the battlefield ahead, but the Japanese heavy artillery units are too numerous and too dense!

Seeing this scene, even though Li Yunlong only glanced at it from a distance, he felt cold sweat on his back.

Within the sight, there were countless trucks stretching for several kilometers, and behind those trucks were towing one artillery piece after another.

The Japanese have organized themselves into square formations and can disperse at any time or assemble quickly in a short period of time. This shows that the Japanese must have been fully prepared.

"The Japs have probably moved out all their arsenal. I've never seen so many cannons in my life!" Kong Jie couldn't help but take a deep breath.

As a soldier, it is really exciting to watch such a scene, but the problem is that he is on the opposite side of these cannons, which is damn annoying!

"I guess Kazuo Shinozuka has suffered a loss before. Look at this scene, they are just trying to prevent the Independent Brigade from catching them off guard again." Ding Wei shook his head helplessly.

This was destined to be an unequal war. Whether in terms of firepower, manpower, or level of preparation, they were inferior to the Japanese.

And what happened next seemed to verify Ding Wei's words.

When both sides had assembled, the Japanese took the lead in launching the first round of artillery fire!

At the same time, the heavy artillery regiment of the independent brigade has successfully built its positions and completed its assembly. Now Wang Chengzhu's heavy artillery regiment has made a leap in strength compared to before.

When a flag signal was sent out.

next moment!

Hundreds and thousands of shells rushed out of the barrels almost at the same time, even the entire sky was covered with them!
