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

For the First Army, this was a series of battles.

Although their troop losses were not too severe, their heavy firepower units suffered huge damage.

At the same time, this is also a process of gain and loss. The independent brigade will quickly digest all the results of the battle, and the development speed is terrifying!

The most terrifying thing is that now not only the independent brigade, but also the entire Eighth Route Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and even the entire Second War Zone have been fully involved in the battle!

Although they gathered a large number of troops to defend Luohuangpo, given the powerful firepower suppression of the Independent Brigade, it was only a matter of time before they lost Luohuangpo.

"General! According to the division commander at the front, the independent brigade's artillery power seems to be even greater. With the same number of troops, we are no match for them at all!" The deputy reported in a muffled voice with his head down.

In all his years of military service, this was the first time he learned that the Empire's firepower could be suppressed by the Xia army.

What is even more incredible is that it is said that the independent brigade’s artillery, using the same type of artillery, is more powerful than ours.

"Damn it! This is an excuse! It's totally an excuse they made up!" Shinozuka Kazuo's eyes were bloodshot and he slammed his fist on the command table in front of him.

The full-scale counterattack by the Xia army was all caused by the so-called independent brigade!

However, both their heavy firepower and their armored forces were defeated by the enemy!

Even though he still had 100,000 elite troops and four field divisions.

But the independent brigade also has a lot of troops, plus the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and other armed forces. If we really talk about military strength, the Xia people have already surpassed them!

"General! Although we have stopped the armored forces of the independent brigade, judging from their target, I am afraid that our command location has been exposed."

"For your safety and the overall situation, I suggest that we retreat temporarily." The deputy hesitated for a moment, but still began to persuade.

In any battle, no matter what the current situation is, as long as the commanding chief is still there, there is a possibility of turning defeat into victory.

But if something happens to General Shinozuka, then more than 100,000 imperial soldiers will become headless flies.

If this situation really happens, it will be a total collapse, a true defeat!

"Baga! Do you know what you are saying?!" Kazuo Shinozuka glared at his deputy.

The deputy wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

"Okay! Has the Marine Corps given a response?" Shinozuka Kazuo said with an extremely ugly expression.

"Your Excellency the General! The Marine Corps has issued a combat order to Commander Umezu in Kanto. According to Commander Umezu's telegram, the Army Aviation Corps is being urgently mobilized, and the fastest journey will take more than half a day!" the deputy reported hurriedly.

In fact, if the situation overseas had not been somewhat tense, and the Empire had needed to gain air superiority in the Pacific battlefield, and therefore mobilized most of the Xia Kingdom's aviation forces, the battle would not have turned out like this.

Fortunately, as the strongest Kwantung Army, the aviation force under Commander Umezu is undoubtedly very powerful, enough to change the situation in a short period of time.

"Half a day?" Shinozuka Kazuo frowned suddenly.

The deputy swallowed his saliva and said, "General! In fact, Luohuangpo may not be able to hold out for a long time. I suggest that we should..."

Just when the deputy was halfway through his words, he felt the temperature in the entire command center drop sharply until he felt a chill on his back.

He looked subconsciously and saw General Shinozuka's pair of cold eyes!

And a general's sword with half of the blade already pulled out, the blade edge was cold and reflective!

"General...General!" The deputy's legs were shaking with fear.

"This is my last warning to you!" Shinozuka Kazuo slowly retracted his general's sword, his face grim.

Luohuangpo must not be lost, otherwise the troops will suffer a large-scale defeat!

By then, even if the Army Aviation Corps arrived and gained air superiority, it would be impossible to reverse the situation.

And he will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and everyone will know that he was defeated by the Xia people and the Xia army!

"Ha Yi!" The deputy bowed quickly and didn't dare to say anything more.

He really felt that his life might be in danger at any time!

"Report...Report to His Excellency the General!"

"Xia...Xia's troops are coming!"

Suddenly, a member of the guard team ran into the command center nervously, stammering.

"What? Xia country's troops? How is this possible?" the deputy exclaimed in surprise.

If the Xia army appeared here, wouldn't it mean that Luohuangpo had been lost?

"It has been confirmed! It's just a battalion from the Xia country. They are well-equipped and are now conducting an armed siege on the city!" The guard quickly told the situation outside.

Hear the news.

"General! This should be the special force of the independent brigade!" The deputy quickly matched the information.

In the previous raid on Taiyuan City, it is estimated that the Independent Brigade dispatched this kind of small force.

They are more like the special forces team trained by Colonel Yamamoto Ikki before, but their combat effectiveness is much stronger!

"Baga! Kill them right now!" Shinozuka Kazuo's eyes were almost on fire as he gritted his teeth.

"Destroy them all! I want to see them die with my own eyes!"

Now it seems that the location of the command center has definitely been exposed.

Although it is unclear how this force bypassed numerous firing points and reached Qingshui County.

But it was obvious that they had no heavy firepower and were completely unable to break through the city's defenses.

"Hello!" The deputy quickly bent down and prepared to go down.

"Da da da!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

Suddenly a series of gunshots rang out one after another.

As dense and fast as popping beans.

Mixed in with the sound were the wails of the guards.

"What? What's going on?" Shinozuka Kazuo was subconsciously shocked.

The gunshots came from far away and were definitely not coming from the direction of the city wall. Judging from the sound, the distance was definitely no more than twenty meters!

"Your Excellency the General! Your Excellency the General!"

"Enemy...enemy attack! The Xia people broke through our defense directly from the city wall area!" Another guard ran over in a hurry, his face pale, as if he had witnessed something horrible.

"Baka! What are you talking about?" Shinozuka Kazuo was already very angry, and when he saw him panicking and talking nonsense, he just slapped him in the face.

The guard was knocked so hard that he staggered and almost hit the wall.

"City wall? Could it be that those Xia people can fly?" Shinozuka Kazuo roared angrily.

"General! It's true! Just when the Xia army launched an attack at the city gate, another group of Xia army on the east side climbed up the city wall with ropes!"

"They wore steel helmets and had powerful submachine guns in their hands. Our guards suffered heavy casualties!" The guard covered his red cheeks and quickly described the situation.

Those Xia soldiers cooperated very well and moved at an extraordinary speed. By the time they noticed it, it was already too late.

The other party has quickly dealt with the patrol personnel and is heading towards the headquarters!

"General! There are two troops? Could it be that the troop in the front is just to attract firepower?" The deputy next to him reacted suddenly and was instantly shocked.

The troops in front of the city gate were only responsible for a feint attack, the purpose of which was to attract their own firepower.

The troops at the back are the real killer, or the real special operations force of the independent brigade!

After the deputy finished speaking, Kazuo Shinozuka felt as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant. He felt dizzy and collapsed in his chair.

After a while!

He finally came to his senses and stood up abruptly: "Withdraw from Qingshui County!"

Kazuo Shinozuka clenched his fists, his expression distorted.

He lost!

Completely lost!

Defeated by a so-called brigade commander from Xia State!

"Don't retreat in a hurry!"

"Shinozuka Kazuo, we finally meet!"

Suddenly, a slightly teasing voice suddenly sounded from outside the command room.
