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

"...During the Battle of Taiyuan, the first special operations platoon of the independent brigade risked their lives to cover the evacuation of nearby civilians, attracting a large number of Japanese firepower. In the end, after several hours of fierce fighting, all 67 members of the platoon died."

"According to military practice, the platoon should be disbanded."

"However, the people under his protection firmly opposed it, and 67 young and strong men joined the army on the spot, and the organization was finally saved."

At this time, the officer was reading the contents of the newspaper as required. When he read this paragraph, his Adam's apple moved subconsciously.

"Keep reading." The man said expressionlessly.

"...On the front battlefield of Luohuangpo, the heavy artillery unit of the independent brigade needed to continuously suppress the Japanese division. The supply of artillery shells was once in short supply. Upon learning of the situation, the surrounding people spontaneously organized to transport ammunition for the independent brigade."

"A father and son walked a day and a night on a mountain road, carrying four artillery shells on their shoulders for the independent brigade, and they insisted on watching the shells being fired at the enemy positions."

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Officer Dai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He could already imagine how much of a sensation this would cause when people all over the country saw the content in the newspaper.

I have to say that Qin Feng is really smart. He actually uses his tremendous military achievements and other means to build momentum for himself.

"Qin Feng is a very smart guy!" the man also took a deep breath.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to intervene, but the problem is that the Second War Zone had such a glorious victory that he couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to.

"Okay, let's not talk about this newspaper anymore. Let's talk about the situation in the Second War Zone."

"Yes, sir!" Officer Dai paused.

"Now the independent brigade has gradually given up the front battlefield, and the main force has begun to be handed over to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

"It seems that Qin Feng is very clear about the current situation." The man narrowed his eyes, "What about Taiyuan City?"

"Replying to the commander, the Taiyuan City Independent Brigade should have no intention of settling in. According to Commander Yan's report, Qin Feng had no intention of taking Taiyuan City from the beginning."

"However, this kid Qin Feng used the entire Taiyuan City to exchange for a regiment-level organization, two American-equipped regiments, and the Taiyuan Arsenal from Commander Yan." Officer Dai reported.

He was also clear about this regimental organization. It was the 358th Regiment under the 65th Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Its commander Chu Yunfei and Qin Feng were close friends.

When the third major mopping-up operation was launched, the 358th Regiment was ordered to go north to block the Osaka Division in the Cangyun Mountains.

But later, he followed the independent brigade to raid Taiyuan.

Afterwards, he even sent a plain text telegram to pry the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army into joining the battlefield!

According to the inference, the 358th Regiment will definitely not have a good end. Given Commander Yan's character, he will definitely not escape the reckoning!

Obviously, Qin Feng's exchange was to save Chu Yunfei of the 358th Regiment, but he asked for so many things afterwards, which seemed a bit like blackmail.

"Sir, do we need to give orders to Commander Yan?" Officer Dai looked at the man.

Now the Fifth Army of Shancheng and the troops of Li Zhongren and others are heading north in an all-out effort to build a solid defense line from Shanhaiguan to Taiyuan City.

The northern city of Taiyuan is extremely important to them, as it can serve as both a command front and a logistics center.

"No need, he won't give up Taiyuan City easily." The man waved his hand.

As long as Qin Feng is willing to go north, he can accept all of this.

"By the way, how long will it take Qin Feng to reach the mountain city?"

The man asked seriously.

The war in northwest Shanxi is about to end, and Taiyuan City has been ceded to the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Feng should be on his way, right?

"Sir, we will arrive soon."

......

mountain city.

When Qin Feng and his group arrived, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Unlike the northwest of Shanxi, the mountain city at this time is still bustling with people, and the sounds of shouting and hawking are endless.

It is worth mentioning that due to the blackout, basically all shop owners and vendors lit tung oil lamps as the main means of lighting. At the same time, red lanterns representing air raid alerts were hung at various commanding heights in the city.

"Commander! There is a spy behind us!" Yang Song approached Qin Feng from behind and whispered.

"Yeah." Qin Feng nodded slightly. In fact, he had noticed it as soon as he entered the mountain city.

Yang Song showed a fierce look on his face: "Captain, do we want to do it?"

Leng Yue on the side had a calm expression, but his movements had already responded to Yang Song's and he reached towards his waist.

They are all people who command large troops in battle, but their reaction in battle is just as good as before!

"No need to cause trouble, just go directly to the mountain city agency!" Qin Feng waved his hand to interrupt the two.

If he wanted to cause trouble in the mountain city, he would not have brought just these few people.

"Yes!"

......

"report!"

"Qin Feng, commander of the 65th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, wants to see you!"

Inside the office, a guard's voice sounded from outside.

"Bring him in."

"Yes!"

Then the guard walked in quickly, and the person following behind him was Qin Feng!

"Hello, sir!"

"Qin Feng, commander of the 65th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

Qin Feng stood at attention and saluted seriously.

"Yes, here I come." The man nodded slightly, and a hint of joy flashed across his face imperceptibly.

However, this joy disappeared as soon as Qin Feng said the next sentence.

"Commander! I heard that you want to give the independent brigade an army-level organization bonus. May I ask if this is true?" Qin Feng's voice sounded first.

After these words were spoken, not only the man, but even Officer Dai standing next to him was dumbfounded!

"An army?"

"award?"

The entire Eighth Route Army is just one army.

This meeting was more than just extortion, it was simply asking for too much!

"Qin Feng! Do you know what you are saying?" the man said with a twitching mouth.

He was fully prepared to start the fight right from the start, but he never expected that this guy wouldn't play by the rules.

He provoked the war without authorization, forcing the entire Second War Zone to join the war, and the combat coverage was so large that it almost exceeded half of northwest Shanxi!

If Kazuo Shinozuka had not been captured alive, this battle would probably not have ended in a short time.

Moreover, the Kwantung Army's reinforcement aviation force is already on the way!

Although it is too late to save the situation even if we arrive now, no matter how to put it, although Qin Feng’s actions were meritorious, his faults were greater!

At most, the merits and demerits will offset each other, so how can we talk about rewards?

"Sir, the Independent Brigade has no choice but to send troops. After all, the Second War Zone is in danger. If the Independent Brigade does not raid Taiyuan, the Japanese's third sweep plan will succeed!"

Qin Feng said calmly.

With just one sentence, he was shirking the responsibility of the independent brigade.

As for the large number of troops that subsequently joined the battle, they were all organized spontaneously and were voluntary.

He never forced anyone to send troops, nor did he specify which troops to send out.

"Nonsense! It's all nonsense!"

"Do you know that although the threat from the Second War Zone has been lifted, there is still a bigger crisis coming!"

"The contradiction between the enemy and us has further escalated. The Japs will not give up. The 700,000 Kwantung Army will soon march south to attack the pass!" the man shouted angrily with a face full of anger.

Faced with this violent storm, Qin Feng remained unmoved.

"Sir, the reason why the Kwantung Army entered the country is related to the Second World War, but it is not very relevant."

"The Japanese are running out of steam on overseas battlefields. These troops will be mobilized into the country sooner or later." Qin Feng said meaningfully.

The other party was very good at putting the blame on others. If an ordinary person didn't understand the situation, he would be fooled.

The reason why the other party did this was obviously to increase their bargaining chips and bargain with Qin Feng!

"okay!"

"Either you bring your troops to the mountain city, and I'll organize them for you!"

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to organize an army! At most, it would be a division!"

The man said seriously.
