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

When Qin Feng finished speaking, Zhao Gang and Wang Ke fell into silence.

The combat mission of the independent brigade is very clear, which is to take the initiative to attack and block their progress before the Kwantung Army enters the pass!

This is obviously impossible to do inside the pass.

Moreover, the troops in the mountain city were deploying troops and it was obvious that they were not taking the initiative to reinforce the independent brigade.

They can only build a group of mother-and-child fortifications and will never take the initiative to attack!

However, this may be a way out for the independent brigade. If the troops really cannot gain an advantage, they can retreat to Shanhaiguan and temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

"Wang Ke, do you know that there is another purpose behind Shancheng's military mobilization this time?" Qin Feng spoke slowly, as if he had seen through Wang Ke's thoughts.

"Is there another purpose?" Wang Ke was puzzled.

Zhao Gang next to him also cast a puzzled look at Qin Feng.

"Yes! That is to prevent the independent brigade from entering the country for the rest of their lives after they leave!" Qin Feng said meaningfully.

"hiss!"

Everyone present gasped and their faces turned pale instantly!

If what Qin Feng said is true, then the purpose of the mountain city is to both stop the Kwantung Army and block the retreat of the independent brigade?

Taking in everyone's expressions, Qin Feng couldn't help but shook his head.

The independent brigade has grown to its current size. It is no longer important whether or not it is from the Whampoa Military Academy. A unit that is beyond control, even if someone wants to win it over, will inevitably find ways to split and disintegrate it and place his own people in the unit.

The size of the independent brigade is like an innocent man who is guilty of possessing a treasure!

It is impossible for Qin Feng to accept the high position and generous salary calmly, nor is it possible for him to turn a blind eye to it!

Therefore, either the independent brigade will fall apart and be dispersed, or they will tear their faces apart and start a war at all costs!

There is absolutely no third option.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng took a deep breath.

"Wang Ke! After I leave, you must remember to hand over Taiyuan City to Commander Yan as soon as possible!"

"No delay, and no obstruction!"

"You must remember, this is the only way for us to return to the interior of the country!" Qin Feng said solemnly.

Now the mountain city has begun to deploy troops. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely use the entire Second War Zone as a backup to build a defense system.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the Shancheng side will definitely issue orders quickly to let the direct troops enter Taiyuan and take control of Taiyuan!

Once this strategically important town is controlled by Shancheng, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the independent brigade.

"Commander Yan?" Wang Ke knew the seriousness of the matter, and she nodded very seriously.

"Any other orders, sir?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then said: "Also, during the time I'm away, the troops will be fully expanded. The independent brigade must have as many soldiers as possible, and we are open to recruiting!"

"Gather all these new recruits and send them to the Cangyun Mountains for training! Secondly, we must quickly digest the spoils of this battle and have the military industry produce war technology and weapons at full capacity. It would be best if we could replace the soldiers' equipment in batches!"

Qin Feng ordered in a deep voice.

The strength of the Kwantung Army must be far beyond the several divisions that Kazuo Shinozuka had originally commanded.

Therefore, although the individual qualities of the independent brigade soldiers have been improved, they also need to strengthen their weapons and equipment.

Manpower, equipment, and training level are three essential factors for victory.

If the independent brigade can expand to the size of an army again in a short period of time, then this battle will be worth fighting!

"Yes! Captain!" Wang Ke agreed seriously.

"Monk!"

"To!"

"Notify Leng Yue and Yang Song to assemble at the brigade headquarters within 20 minutes!"

"Let's go to the mountain city!"

"Yes! Captain!" the monk quickly stepped forward and responded.

"My Minister Wang! The following matters are left to you." Qin Feng then looked at Wang Ke next to him and said earnestly.

"Yeah!" Wang Ke nodded vigorously.

......

Mountain city!

As the current center of Xia State, both its military strength and people's livelihood are much better than other cities.

The atmosphere of the streets here is as if from another world. Except for some places that were urgently repaired and demolished due to the Japanese bombing, there are basically no traces of the Japanese war.

"Excuse me!"

"The Second War Zone has won a great victory! The spoils of war are being displayed in Taiyuan City, and the Japanese prisoners are being paraded. Even the lotus feet and the old ladies who walk with their legs spread wide have come out to watch the Japanese!"

On the street, several children selling newspapers were holding piles of newspapers and selling them by the roadside.

They prepared a lot of newspapers today because the people in the newspaper office told them excitedly and incoherently that today's newspapers were absolutely in short supply.

As expected, as soon as the content above came out, passers-by all gathered around and rushed to hand over banknotes.

"I'll buy one! Give me one!"

"Kid, give me one! No need to give me the change!"

"Don't squeeze me... Come on! Give me one!"

"..."

When people got the newspaper, the content did not disappoint them at all.

A group of photos of the spoils clearly show a dazzling array of rare items, including cars with plaster flags, three-wheeled motorcycles, gas masks, Japanese puppet army flags, artillery mirrors, lieutenant's swords, yellow tweed coats, etc.

There are also photos of dejected Japanese prisoners being strung together and paraded through the streets of Taiyuan.

"It will strengthen our Great Xia! If we can witness such a great victory with our own eyes, we will die without regrets!" After reading the newspaper, several young students felt a lump in their throats.

Now that they were losing ground on the front battlefield, they could not help but feel tears welling up in their eyes when they heard that the Xia people had fought such an inspiring battle.

Not only students, but also soldiers passing by, upon hearing the special edition, also bought a newspaper.

After seeing the above content and the authentic photos, an officer immediately said angrily: "Where are our troops? Why is there only a trophy exhibition in the Second War Zone! I want to question our superiors!"

...

In the crowd, there was an ordinary officer who happened to pass by and he also bought a newspaper.

After taking a quick look at the content, his expression suddenly became serious.

So he put away the newspaper and quickly headed in a certain direction.

Soon, he walked into a magnificent office.

"Sir! This is today's newspaper, please take a look." As he spoke, the officer handed over the newspaper.

The man turned his office chair, picked up the newspaper, and held it to his chest.

"..."

After a long time, he let out a long breath.

"Nearly 100,000 elite Japanese troops were wiped out. In just two hours, nearly 20,000 prisoners were taken..." The man shook his head, and his eyes became extremely complicated.

The officer next to him also sighed: "At this speed of counterattack, I'm afraid the Japanese can only hold out for three hours at most."

It is conceivable that this battle will truly go down in history and leave a significant mark in the history of war!

Five divisions!

Just like that, it was all solved!

The independent brigade truly emerged out of nowhere and its reputation has reached a peak!
