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

When the New First Army entered the pass and arrived in Taiyuan, he did not do nothing, but ordered his men to closely monitor the battle situation in Taiyuan.

Du Yuming was very concerned about this army that was famous overseas, and he analyzed various battle examples of the New First Army with the military staff.

Looking back at all the previous battles, the New First Army fought mostly large-scale battles and was good at using its firepower advantage to suppress the opponent and thus win positional battles.

But the situation is different now. Chasing the Japanese is very different from positional warfare. It requires strong mobility and execution. Blindly chasing and attacking will not work.

"Commander! Now the Japanese are fleeing to the north. Aren't we going to be attacked from both sides?" the deputy couldn't help but remind him.

"Not necessarily! On the contrary, I think this is a godsend opportunity!" Du Yuming frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?" The adjutant looked puzzled.

"No time to explain! Call your superiors immediately, I have an urgent war situation to report!" Du Yuming ordered decisively.

"Yes, sir!"

......

Heavenly gold.

The city is located in the lower reaches of the Haihe River, bordering the Bohai Sea to the east, Yanshan Mountain to the north, and Beishi City to the west.

Tianjin is an important hub that connects the inside and the outside, the north and the south, and the east and the west.

However, the atmosphere in Tianjin at this time was extremely tense.

After all, when the Kwantung Army moved south, it had already broken through the first line of defense, and the second line of defense with Beishi and Tianjin as barriers was also in danger.

Although most of the Kwantung Army had been dispersed, the 600,000 troops heading south were still a considerable force, even if they were dispersed.

"Commander! The entire Xia Kingdom has become a mess!" The deputy held the battle report document in his hand and looked at Bai Chongxi with a serious expression.

First, the war broke out in Taiyuan, and then the New First Army rushed into the pass to join the war, and now the Fifth War Zone has also been involved.

Currently, part of the Central Plains Japanese Allied Forces has broken through and is approaching the direction of Taipei.

The direction in which Xue Yue's First Army retreated was exactly Taipei City.

Although Du Yuming's large army is stationed in Taipei, the Kwantung Army is about to arrive, and even if he wants to send troops, he will worry about being attacked from both sides.

Although in comparison, their Tianjin side is still calm, it is only a matter of time before the war spreads here.

"What's the situation in the Second War Zone?" Bai Chongxi turned his head and looked at his adjutant.

"Report to the commander! The Second War Zone has been ordered to go north to provide support!" The adjutant looked a little hesitant.

"But Commander, according to the military chess simulation of the General Staff, even if the Second War Zone moves north, the fall of Beishi and Tianjin is only a matter of time." The adjutant hesitated.

The strength of the enemy and ours is not at the same level at all. Only the New 1st Army has good combat effectiveness and may produce unexpected results.

But the problem is that the New First Army has only 20,000 to 30,000 troops, which is basically a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, as a staff officer, there are some things that he cannot say openly. For example, there are a lot of variables in the mountain city. Once the war goes unfavorably, he may directly order the front line to retreat to preserve strength.

In this case, how could these military commanders swear to fight the Japanese to the death?

You can retreat when the fight is almost over. Who would be willing to die in vain?

Bai Chongxi looked uncertain, his eyes darting back and forth as if he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the voice of a communications soldier came from the door.

"Report to the commander! A group of military vehicles have arrived outside, saying that the New First Army's top commander, Qin Feng, wants to see you!"

"Who?" Bai Chongxi was shocked when he heard the announcement. "Are you talking about Qin Feng?"

Not long after, the guard and a young officer walked quickly into the command center.

Regardless of his identity for now, Bai Chongxi recognized him at a glance just from the aura of this young officer!

Qin Feng, commander of the New First Army!

"Commander Bai, I've heard a lot about you!" Qin Feng walked up to the other party and bowed.

It's not that he hadn't had contact with Bai Chongxi before. A secret report from before showed that the two of them were already in contact.

But this time, it was his first time meeting her.

"I've heard for a long time that Brother Qin has made great achievements at a young age. After meeting him today, I find that his reputation is well-deserved!" Bai Chongxi bowed quickly.

Today, Qin Feng's reputation is at its peak. Not only is he famous in Da Xia, but his achievements are also being spread overseas.

He would never dare to neglect such a person.

"Commander Bai, let's not be polite. I came here today to be frank with you. Is that convenient?" Qin Feng looked at Bai Chongxi and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chongxi turned around and gestured to the side, and the others then left the command center one after another.

When there were only two people left, Bai Chongxi looked at Qin Feng and said, "Commander Qin, I'm all ears."

At this time, Bai Chongxi actually still had a lot of questions. For example, isn’t the New First Army now in the Second War Zone? How did Qin Feng appear here?

Also, how did Qin Feng and his convoy of military vehicles reach Tianjin directly without being noticed by any unit?

Bai Chongxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.

"Commander Bai, I won't be polite and will get straight to the point." Qin Feng went straight to the point and made his point clear.

"Commander Bai, you have spent your entire life trying to promote the formation of a unified war zone in Daxia. Although I, Qin Feng, do not have much experience, I am willing to lead the New First Army to help."

As Qin Feng said this, Bai Chongxi's expression changed slightly: "Daxia War Zone? Commander Qin, are you kidding me?"

Seeing Bai Chongxi's expression change, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel happy. At least he was 90% sure this time.

"Commander Bai, no one will take this as a joke. I am willing to be frank with you this time. Commander Bai, there is no need to beat around the bush with me. Just say what you want to say!" Qin Feng said meaningfully.

Bai Chongxi stared at Qin Feng for a long time without saying a word. He seemed to want to see clearly what this young man wanted to do.

After a long time, he finally shifted his gaze elsewhere, and his tense back slowly relaxed.

Bai Chongxi said quietly: "Commander Qin!"

"Just take me as the one who speaks the truth. Although your New First Army has been active in recent battles and performed well, you may not be qualified to establish this Great Xia War Zone!"

To be honest, the New First Army was just a unit that broke away from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The attributes of its team are limited to the Second War Zone. At best, it is just a local force in northwestern Shanxi. It doesn't even have its own base, so how can it get involved in the Great Xia War Zone?

"Commander Bai, don't be so decisive. What if I say Commander Yan is also on my side?"

Qin Feng's expression was indifferent and his tone was calm. After he finished speaking, he just looked at Bai Chongxi.

"Commander Yan? Commander Qin, do you mean that the Second War Zone will also support you?" Bai Chongxi was becoming more and more uneasy. He didn't expect Qin Feng to throw out a trump card right at the start.

"Yes! The New First Army includes the Second War Zone. This bargaining chip should be enough, right?" Qin Feng said slowly.

"Can I ask what the conditions are?" Bai Chongxi swallowed secretly.

"It's very simple! Commander Bai only needs to provide some conveniences to the Second War Zone, and after the battle is over, hand over Tianjin!" Qin Feng spoke without taking a breath.
