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

"Nani?!"

"The information is accurate? Are you sure it's not wrong?"

Japanese Expeditionary Force Joint Operations Command.

When Kazuo Shinozuka heard the report from his subordinates, he was stunned where he was!

Five hundred heavy artillery pieces were destroyed just like that! ?

"General... General!" The deputy's back was soaked with cold sweat, and his legs couldn't help shaking. "The information is true and has been confirmed!"

Wait until the deputy has finished telling the whole story.

Kazuo Shinozuka seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned back in his chair and his eyes lost focus.

"General! General!" The deputy hurried forward to support him.

But before his hand touched Kazuo Shinozuka, he waved it open.

"Damn it! How could things turn out like this!" Kazuo Shinozuka's eyes were already bloodshot.

After experiencing failure again and again, no matter how good he was at maintaining his composure, he could not withstand such continuous blows.

Who could have thought that a situation that seemed certain to win would turn out like this?

The deputy swallowed and stepped forward boldly: "General! You have to cheer up!"

"We still have four divisions of elite troops. We still have a chance of winning!"

Just as he finished speaking, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded from outside, followed by a communications soldier running quickly into the command center.

"Report to the General! There is an emergency ahead!"

Shinozuka Kazuo took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions: "Speak!"

"Ha Yi!" The signalman said quickly, "General, the Xia country's independent brigade has launched a full-scale counterattack!"

"Moreover, the Eighth Route Army outside Taiyuan City also launched a full-scale counterattack. The Third Division was caught in the middle and suffered heavy losses!"

The signalman's tone was already quite unconfident, and it was obvious that he was also hit by the news.

The Xia army actually dared to launch a counterattack against a field division of their empire. This was simply unimaginable in the past!

When did the Japanese country reach this point?

"What?! Are you saying that the Eighth Route Army launched a counterattack?" Shinozuka Kazuo looked as if he had heard something wrong, his expression full of disbelief.

"Yes! General!" The signalman said without hesitation, "The main reason is that the independent brigade has a very strong offensive capability, with a full range of light and heavy firepower. The front line has lost thirteen positions in fifteen minutes!"

"And...and there's also..." The signalman suddenly paused again.

"Baga! Keep talking!" Kazuo Shinozuka almost drew his command knife and killed the hesitant communications soldier on the spot.

"General! The armored forces of that independent brigade have bypassed the Third Division, and their goal seems to be to advance towards the headquarters!" said the signalman with a pale face.

"What?!" Shinozuka Kazuo's eyes widened suddenly, "Armored troops!"

Hearing the appearance of the 'armored unit', the deputy standing nearby couldn't help himself.

The deputy said quickly, "General! We have received intelligence that the independent brigade's tank tactics seem to be very sophisticated. Their flanking maneuvers and infantry-tank coordination are very sophisticated. If they break through the defense line, our headquarters may be threatened at any time!"

The tank brigade of the Second Army had been defeated and had basically lost its combat capability.

If they do not have large-scale artillery cover, once the independent brigade tanks attack them, they will be like a tiger among a flock of sheep!

"Baga! Quickly get the Field Army and the Matsushima Brigade to me, and have them stop the attack of the independent brigade's armored forces at all costs!"

"Also, give orders to the Third Division, and have them do their best to delay the counterattack of the Independent Brigade and the Eighth Route Army to buy time for reinforcements for their own lives!" Shinozuka Kazuo said with an angry face.

"Ha Yi!" The deputy nodded quickly.

Just as he was about to leave and give the order, Kazuo Shinozuka, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly spoke as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Also, connect me to the Marine Division!"

"Hayi!"

......

"Commander! Are you sure you have thought it through?"

The rear position is the area belonging to the 358th Regiment.

Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei standing aside with a complicated expression on his face.

"Brother Ligong, this matter can no longer be delayed any longer." Chu Yunfei shook his head, his face full of determination.

"If my trip can contribute to a great victory in Taiyuan, then I, Chu Yunfei, will have a clear conscience."

Fang Ligong looked embarrassed: "Commander..."

"Brother Ligong, the 358th Regiment will be handed over to you temporarily." Chu Yunfei patted Fang Ligong on the shoulder, then turned around resolutely.

"Guard!"

Hearing the call, a guard quickly arrived beside Chu Yunfei: "Commander!"

Chu Yunfei: "Is the car Brother Qin gave you ready?"

The guard nodded: "We can leave at any time."

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath: "Go to the headquarters!"

"Yes!" the guard suddenly stood up and said.

......

The rear headquarters of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army in the Second War Zone.

"What the hell is going on? There are wars everywhere! Are these Eighth Route Army soldiers trying to save their lives?"

Commander Yan, who was standing in front of a huge sand table, had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

"Commander Yan! If we launch a general attack at this time, either these Eighth Route Army soldiers have gone crazy, or Taiyuan can't hold on any longer!" The deputy quickly stepped forward and expressed his guess.

Just recently, they received news that Kazuo Shinozuka had assembled all the heavy artillery units of the four divisions, and the number had exceeded 500!

The Japanese did this simply to prepare to capture Taiyuan as soon as possible.

Now the actions of the Eighth Route Army seem to confirm this point. Taiyuan seems to be in real danger!

"Even so, there's no such way of fighting!" Commander Yan said with an extremely cold expression.

Although the Eighth Route Army also belongs to the Second War Zone, there is basically no need to explain the relationship between the two sides. He will not interfere in the deployment of the Eighth Route Army, and the other side will not obey his orders completely.

But now, he really couldn't understand what the Eighth Route Army was doing!

Commander Yan took a deep breath and turned to look at his deputy: "Has the battle situation in Taiyuan been reported back?"

"Commander Yan! The Taiyuan battlefield has entered a white-hot stage, and our intelligence transmission cannot be too timely!" The deputy shook his head helplessly.

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had dispatched troops, they had not yet engaged in a full-scale battle. Even the front-line battlefield was not too close to Taiyuan City.

Currently, most of the troops near Taiyuan City are from various parties of the Eighth Route Army, so the intelligence information comes much slower than that from the other side.

Although Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment and Qin Feng's Independent Brigade were both in Taiyuan, the headquarters had been disconnected from the two parties for a long time and had no way of obtaining first-hand intelligence.

Judging from the reactions of the Eighth Route Army and its various forces, Taiyuan City is probably in imminent danger!

After all, those were 500 heavy artillery pieces of the Japs!

Even if their entire Second World War were combined, they would not have so much heavy firepower.

Faced with such heavy artillery firepower, even if the independent brigade expanded the front line outward and gained enough strategic buffer, it would still be of no avail.

"Ah!" Commander Yan rubbed his temples with great exhaustion.

The current situation is completely messed up!

Currently, there are three forces in Taiyuan. Among them, the Independent Brigade has become a powerful faction, equivalent to its own faction. The other two are the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese devils.

Among these three forces, he, the commander of the Second War Zone, did not control any of them, so even he was completely clueless about the situation.

"Report to Commander Yan! Urgent information from Taiyuan City!"

Just when Commander Yan was having a headache and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, a signalman's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
