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

"Correct!"

"Then Commander-in-Chief, I will speak frankly!"

"For weapons like rocket launchers, the single-shot firepower is definitely the strongest, and the mobility is not weak. As for the disadvantage, it requires a large number and consumes a lot of shells. After all, the accuracy is not high, so it is only suitable for large-scale combat."

"At the same time, the target is also very large, so we need to do a good job of concealment before the battle. For example, outside Taiyuan City, if Shinozuka Kazuo knew that we had this kind of weapon, he would never have concentrated 500 heavy artillery pieces to forcibly attack Taiyuan City."

"Maybe he will call for an Army Aviation plane at all costs!"

"Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Wang Chengzhu analyzed his views in an orderly manner.

"Well, go on!" Qin Feng nodded.

"Commander-in-Chief! In fact, there is another point. Although rocket launchers are also a type of artillery, their combat methods and various aspects are very different from ordinary artillery!" Wang Chengzhu paused and then said.

"Well, this is actually the main reason why I called you here this time." Qin Feng looked at Wang Chengzhu and said slowly, "If I say that I want to separate the rocket artillery unit from your independent artillery brigade, are you willing?"

"Separate?" Wang Chengzhu was stunned. "Commander-in-chief, what do you mean?"

"Establish a separate branch of the military!"

Wang Chengzhu was stunned again: "A separate branch of the military? This..."

After a brief moment of contemplation, Wang Chengzhu nodded: "Commander-in-Chief! If you look at it this way, it's a good thing!"

Establishing a separate branch of the military not only makes it easier to mobilize, but also makes it easier to conceal.

By not operating with an independent artillery brigade, the risk of exposure can be greatly reduced.

Secondly, the purpose of the operation is also clearer, which is to destroy the enemy's important defensive positions with heavy and intensive firepower when necessary in large-scale operations!

"If you don't mind, then I'll leave the separation to you!"

"You will be responsible for establishing the command system, arranging the backbones at all levels, and the specific division of organization, etc!" Qin Feng said very accurately.

"Ah? Commander-in-Chief, aren't you trying to trick me?" Wang Chengzhu was dumbfounded.

Isn't this definitely being sold out by the commander? And now I have to count money for the commander?

The rocket artillery unit is now under the jurisdiction of his independent artillery brigade, which not only requires separation but also requires him to deal with a series of tedious matters.

Isn't this pure cattle and horses?

"Commander-in-Chief, how about letting Minister Wang handle this matter?" Wang Chengzhu looked at Qin Feng cautiously.

"No!" Qin Feng refused.

"What about this?" Wang Chengzhu looked bitter.

"You kid! I'm not taking advantage of you for nothing. I'm telling you, your independent artillery brigade needs to form an air defense force." Qin Feng glared at the pillar fiercely.

"Air defense force? Commander-in-chief, have you promised to form an anti-aircraft artillery regiment for me?" Wang Chengzhu's depression was immediately swept away and he became excited.

He had mentioned this matter to the military many times, saying that the New First Army must form its own air defense force, but he had never received a response.

"Ahem, Commander-in-Chief, I do have this idea, but the problem is that our New First Army currently does not have the corresponding weapons and equipment." Wang Chengzhu coughed a few times pretending to be embarrassed.

The anti-aircraft gun is different from all the artillery currently in service with the New First Army. It is an anti-aircraft gun!

The caliber is not large, but the rate of fire is fast and the range is long. This is a key link in improving the artillery system of the New First Army.

"Don't worry about that. The New First Army has made great achievements in retaking Fengtian this time. All the anti-aircraft guns will be transferred to you."

"But I have another request, which is that you have to expand the anti-tank artillery regiment for me!" Qin Feng said seriously.

During the Battle of Taiyuan, Leng Yue's armored battalion fought against Shinozuka Kazuo's tank brigade, catching the Japanese off guard, and anti-tank guns seemed less important.

But it is different now. There are 700,000 Kwantung Army and hundreds of tanks. Even if Chu Yunfei’s 10th Division completes the mechanization construction, it is impossible to suppress it in terms of numbers.

The only means of counterattack is the anti-tank artillery regiment!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief! We will ensure the mission is accomplished!" Wang Chengzhu responded loudly.

Although the rocket artillery unit was separated, the anti-aircraft artillery regiment and anti-tank artillery regiment were also expanded. The overall strength of his independent artillery brigade has been improved more than just a little!

......

Taiyuan City.

Second World War Zone Supreme Command Headquarters.

"Commander Yan, this is the current situation!" The deputy stood in front of Commander Yan and said with embarrassment.

"Damn it! Taiyuan was captured by me, and I won't give in to anyone who comes!" Commander Yan's face was extremely ashen.

You want him to give up Taiyuan with just one telegram. Do you really think he is a weakling?

"Commander Yan! According to the content of the telegram, this battle is to resist the entry of 700,000 Kwantung Army into the pass. Li Zhongren's troops are responsible for building the last line of defense. If we do not give up Taiyuan, will they..." The deputy hesitated to speak.

Li Zhongren's troops went north to build the third line of defense, but in fact they were just trying to build the most important logistics supply line.

This is no ordinary matter!

"Why should I care about him? The fact that Shancheng allowed the New First Army to go north shows that he doesn't take me seriously!"

"Now you want Li Zhongren to pick the peaches? And give up Taiyuan? Let him come and talk to me himself!" Commander Yan was furious.

Although the northward movement of the New 1st Army was a tacit agreement among all parties, the original independent brigade came from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army after all, and the expanded New st Army also fell under the jurisdiction of the Second War Zone.

That’s all!

Judging from the various actions taken by Shancheng, they not only want to let the New First Army go north, but also want to keep the New First Army outside the Great Wall forever!

And now, Li Zhongren wants to take over Taiyuan with just a telegram?

What a fucking daydream!

"Commander Yan..." The deputy actually wanted to dissuade him with a few words, but he swallowed the words back in the end because Commander Yan was very angry.

"Okay! What's the situation over at Qin Feng's end?" Commander Yan asked with a cold face.

"Commander Yan, the New 1st Army's march northward is a top secret, and the north is a weak point in our intelligence, so there will be a great delay in the news."

"However, according to indirect speculation, the New First Army must have reached the three provinces of Kanto, and has even engaged in battle with the Kwantung Army under Umezu Michijiro." The deputy replied quickly.

"Has the battle started? Who will win and who will lose? Is there any clue about this?" Commander Yan also became interested and asked quickly.

At this moment, his previous annoyance was no longer important in light of this news.

What he really wanted to know was what kind of collision there would be between the New First Army, which represented the highest reputation of the Xia Kingdom, and the Kwantung Army, the strongest army of the Japanese Kingdom!
