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

Second War Zone Temporary Headquarters.

At this time, Yan Laoxi was standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on a map on the table.

Around him, several high-ranking figures of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army surrounded him, looking like the moon surrounded by stars.

At present, although this map is a map of the headquarters, the locations of the subordinate troops of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army marked on it are not very clear.

At present, the movements of many troops are chaotic and cannot be marked on the map in the first time, so this can only be a reference for Yan Laoxi.

Looking at the map, Yan Laoxi suddenly asked, "How is the retreat of the subordinate troops? Have they suffered any major losses?"

The staff officer did not reply immediately, but after silently integrating the recent intelligence sources in his mind, he responded: "Sir, most of the troops have carried out your retreat order and have not suffered serious losses."

Upon hearing this news, Yan Laoxi breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace: "What about the remaining small number of troops? How are they doing?"

"This..." The staff officer considered for a moment and chose a gentler response. "There are still a small number of troops who need to retreat. They may need to hold their positions to resist the enemy's attack and provide sufficient strategic buffer for the rest of the troops."

Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted the staff officer's narration: "What strategic buffer? Isn't it just letting people sacrifice their lives in exchange for time?"

Everyone present cast their eyes towards the speaker. How dare he speak like that in such an occasion? He must be fed up with life!

Yan Laoxi also frowned, and was about to scold the speaker, but when he looked at the other person, his gaze gradually softened.

The other party was Chen Changfeng, the commander of the 65th Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and also a close confidant of Yan Laoxi.

Yan Laoxi said in a gentle tone: "Chen Changfeng, why are you speaking so harshly?"

The commander of the 65th Division, Chen Changfeng, took a deep breath and said, "Commander Yan, I just feel a little uncomfortable. All three regiments under my command have been assigned to carry out the task of resisting the Japanese. This is not the way to bully people!"

Hearing Chen Changfeng's complaint, Yan Laoxi frowned: "Is that true?"

As the supreme leader of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, Yan Laoxi generally would not care about the deployment of the regiment-level organization, but since Chen Changfeng said so, he had to take it seriously.

The staff officer at the side hurried forward to explain that he didn't want to be scolded by Commander Yan in front of so many people.

"Commander Yan, the 357th and 358th Regiments under Commander Chen are fine. According to the latest news from the headquarters, their current organization is still relatively complete. They even successfully joined together at Cangyun Ridge and repelled the enemy's attack."

"Oh? Is that so? Why didn't you tell me the news immediately?" Yan Laoxi stared at the staff officer.

The staff officer immediately replied: "There has been too much and too much information recently, and our staff department has just sorted it out."

After hearing the staff officer's explanation, Yan Laoxi's brows finally relaxed.

Although this news is insignificant, but in the current situation of overall defeat, being able to preserve the organization and even repel the Japanese attack is also a very good news.

Although Yan Laoxi was satisfied, Chen Changfeng still refused to give in: "What about my 359th Regiment? Did you just eat it up?"

"Chen Changfeng!" Yan Laoxi scolded.

In such an occasion, it was already considered extremely presumptuous for Chen Changfeng, a mere division commander, to speak like this.

But Chen Changfeng was also getting angry now: "Commander Yan, forgive me for being rude, but can my 65th Division tolerate others pointing fingers at us at will? Some people took advantage of my inattention and sent a temporary commander to shit on the heads of my three regiments. If I don't do anything, am I worthy of being the division commander?"

Obviously, Chen Changfeng was very dissatisfied with some people within the organization. Some people even dared to lay hands on his 65th Division. Did they really think he had no temper?

He only found out afterwards that the 357th, 358th and 359th Regiments under his command were ordered to hold their positions to the death to buy time for the retreat of certain troops.

If this is concealed afterwards, will Chen Changfeng still have the final say over the 65th Division?

Chen Changfeng's anger made Yan Laoxi silent for a while.

Yan Laoxi thought for a moment and said, "Is the leader of your 359th Regiment Chu Yunfei?"

He knew that Chu Yunfei was in the 358th Regiment, but now he was a little unsure, because if it weren't for the loss of Chu Yunfei, Chen Changfeng shouldn't have been so excited, right?

Chen Changfeng: “No.”

Yan Laoxi was stunned, and then he was a little confused: "If it's not Chu Yunfei, then why are you so angry?"

Although this is a bit cruel, for someone in Yan Laoxi's position, a regiment is really nothing.

As long as those capable fighters are not lost, Yan Laoxi will not be upset because of a regiment.

How could Chen Changfeng not know this truth?

What actually makes him most angry now is that someone bypassed him and gave orders to his troops!

But since this topic has come up, Yan Laoxi naturally couldn't help but ask: "Chen Changfeng, who is the leader of your 359th Regiment?"

Chen Changfeng was just about to answer, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps were heard outside.

As the hurried footsteps appeared, a signalman walked hurriedly into the command center holding a telegram.

Signalman: "Report to Commander Yan! A telegram has been sent from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters!"

Yan Laoxi raised his eyebrows; "A telegram from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters?"

The staff officer immediately stepped forward, took the telegram and quickly handed it to Yan Laoxi.

Yan Laoxi didn't hesitate and picked up the telegram and began to scan it quickly.

After a moment, Yan Laoxi's expression froze.

"The Eighth Route Army chief thanks me? The 359th Regiment saw through the enemy's plan and successfully stopped the enemy from beheading their elite troops?"

Hearing the words '359th Regiment', everyone in the command center looked at Chen Changfeng. The 359th Regiment was the unit under his command.

Chen Changfeng was also stunned. The 359th Regiment did not suffer any sacrifices?

Although the current information is still unclear, he has gradually come to his senses. It seems that the three regiments under his command have not only not encountered any problems, but have also made considerable contributions.

Especially the situation of the 359th Regiment was beyond Chen Changfeng's expectations...

Everyone on the field began to whisper to each other, and the topic of their discussion was naturally the current battle situation.

Among them, there are also voices of opposition.

A division commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stepped forward and said, "Commander Yan, is this information reliable? Could it be that the people below are falsely reporting the battle situation and exaggerating the facts?"

This statement actually does not make sense, because the various troops in the mountain city camp often exaggerate the battle situation and results when reporting them.

Even the single-digit number of Japanese soldiers killed could be exaggerated several times, and a hundred could be "polished" into hundreds or even nearly a thousand.

It can be seen how watered down their internal battle reports are. Basically, the battle reports reported by subordinates have to be reduced in value.

But this time, Chen Changfeng will not tolerate the other party. The credit of the 359th Regiment is his credit, and he will never tolerate any questioning voices.

"This telegram was sent by the Eighth Route Army. There should be no need for the Eighth Route Army to polish it for us, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly quieted down.

Yes, there is no need for the Eighth Route Army to exaggerate the battle reports to their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The facts are what they are, and the authenticity of this telegram is beyond doubt.

A touch of joy instantly appeared on Yan Laoxi's face, and a rare smile appeared on his face: "Well done, it's really well done. If the devils succeeded in their plan, I guess the gun would be pointed at my head."

"By the way, Chen Changfeng, you didn't answer me just now. Who is the leader of your 359th Regiment? You have made such a great contribution, you must be rewarded!"

Chen Changfeng hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered a name: "Qin Feng."

Hearing this name, everyone present fell silent again, and now the whole place was almost silent.

Yan Laoxi narrowed his eyes. His first reaction at this moment was a little bit of disbelief, but as a person in a high position, he tends to accept things faster than others.

In an instant, a myriad of thoughts came to his mind. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his eyes seemed to be thoughtful.

"Tell me the truth, did you intentionally let him hide his abilities before?"
