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

As if he knew what these devils were thinking, Wei Dayong couldn't help but sneer.

"That's right, just as you thought. Our brigade commander has the blood of two brigade commanders on his hands. That general's sword is the sword of your devil general!"

As soon as these words came out.

These surviving Japanese soldiers all gasped, their expressions full of disbelief.

If they didn't know the other party's origin just now, now they know it completely!

General Dao, Brigade Commander, and the major events that happened recently are almost vivid in the minds of these devils. As long as they are mentioned, they can quickly match them in their minds!

Meanwhile, Wei Dayong continued, "The Fourth Brigade, Wanjia Town, and the observation group were all done by our independent brigade. Even the supplies that Shinozuka Kazuo coveted were snatched away by our independent brigade!"

When talking about the history of the independent brigade, Wei Dayong knows it like the back of his hand.

Although he had not joined the independent brigade when these things happened, after joining, the stories about Qin Feng leading the group had already spread throughout the brigade.

After hearing this, the soldiers who joined later were all yearning and wished they could join Qin Feng's army as soon as possible to witness that gratifying scene in person. Wei Dayong was no exception.

"Now that I've told you all this, you can die with your eyes closed, right?" Wei Dayong looked at Yamazaki Zhiping provocatively.

"Baka!" Yamazaki Zhiping gritted his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulged, and he wished he could skin and pull out the tendons of this hateful Xia countryman in front of him.

"You guys, go and help this devil up and make him kneel down!" Wei Dayong directed the soldiers nearby.

"Yes! Company commander!"

The two soldiers quickly stepped forward, each holding one hand to drag Yamazaki Shihei up, and forced the Japanese soldier to kneel on the ground.

Wei Dayong looked at Yamazaki, a trace of cruelty on his face: "Just now it was you, old man, who tried to sneak attack our brigade commander, right? The brigade commander doesn't care, but that doesn't mean I don't care."

As a soldier of the independent brigade, he knows best who is the core of the entire brigade.

He believed that he had an obligation to severely punish this old devil on behalf of the brigade commander.

Wei Dayong's words made Yamazaki Zhiping shudder. He knew that he would not be able to leave alive today.

He immediately raised his head and shouted loudly: "Serve the First Army! Serve General Shinozuka! Serve the Empire!"

"The Empire's plan will succeed! The General will pay for our blood debt with blood!"

Yamazaki Shihei shouted hysterically, trying to let himself and other devils know one thing, that is, their death was not meaningless.

"Success?" Wei Dayong looked at him jokingly, "Do you think our brigade commander didn't expect this?"

"Otherwise, why do you think he left after winning the battle? He was heading to the next battlefield, idiot!"

When Yamazaki Zhiping heard this, his face turned pale instantly.

"Get started!" Wei Dayong waved his hand.

Da da da!

The fire from the submachine gun broke out instantly.

At such a close distance, the remaining Japanese soldiers of the Yamazaki Battalion had no way to dodge and could only be shot into sieves.

Seeing this, Wei Dayong nodded: "Come on, clean up the battlefield!"

Before his soldiers could respond, a soldier quickly came up to him.

"Report to the company commander! Several Eighth Route Army soldiers have arrived outside. The leader claims to be the commander of the 386th Brigade and said he wanted to come in to thank the brigade commander."

"Thank you, Commander?" Wei Dayong was stunned. Qin Feng was probably gone by now, so where could he go to thank him?

However, he also knew that this matter concerned the relationship between the two armies, so Wei Dayong could not let the people outside wait for a long time and just waved his hand.

"Invite them in quickly!"

"Yes!"

quickly!

Under the leadership of the soldiers, the commander came directly to Wei Dayong.

Seeing this Eighth Route Army officer wearing black-framed glasses and with an intimidating look, Wei Dayong was the first to salute.

"Wei Dayong, commander of the 6th Company of the Special Operations Battalion of the Independent Brigade, sends his greetings to you!"

In response to the salute, Chang nodded and subconsciously prepared to return the salute.

But just as he raised his hand, his movements suddenly became stiff.

"Wait! Captain of the Sixth Company?"

The chief's expression began to look a little strange.

He originally thought that the person who led the troops to directly attack the Yamazaki Battalion was the commander of the independent brigade Qin Feng or some other senior official.

But now when he looked over, he saw that the one who led the troops to kill the Yamazaki Battalion was just a mere company commander?

Since when did a company commander become so powerful?

What is even more incredible is that this company is very likely to have thousands of soldiers!

Because the captain saw that all the soldiers coming and going were led by the man with a crew cut in front of him!

The chief of staff beside him was also shocked. He came to the side of the commander and said in a very low voice: "Commander! These thousands of troops, could it really be just the size of a company of the independent brigade?"

"Do you remember that the first news we received was that the 65th Division sent a reserve force. A company-level unit was almost exactly the size of the reserve force."

The chief of staff's speculation made the commander more and more uneasy.

At first he thought that the more than 1,000 people in front of him would be the main force of the independent brigade, but now it seems that they might just be a company!

But if we really calculate it this way, a company would have more than a thousand people, and a battalion would have more than three thousand people, right?

So if a regiment or even a brigade...

Thinking of this situation, Chang quickly came back to his senses. This idea was really too ridiculous!

...

Wei Dayong did not pay much attention to the whispering between the commander and the chief of staff at this time. After all, it was normal for the Eighth Route Army to discuss things internally without letting him hear.

Soon, after calming down, the chief looked at Wei Dayong and asked, "Excuse me, where is your chief?"

"I am deeply grateful to the friendly troops who came all the way to support me, so I want to express my gratitude to your commander in person."

At this moment, the commander really wanted to meet Qin Feng, who had an outstanding military record. Perhaps the many doubts in his heart could only be explained by Qin Feng.

When asked, Wei Dayong told the truth: "Sir, our brigade commander just led us to capture the Yamazaki Battalion and then left. I don't know the specific arrangements of the commander."

Hearing Wei Dayong's answer, the chief couldn't help but frowned.

The current situation is chaotic, and the entire northwest of Shanxi has begun to be in turmoil. It is conceivable that the appearance of the Yamazaki Battalion is just the beginning.

After this, the enemy's movements and deployments will definitely become more frequent and more fierce!

At this critical moment, Qin Feng, who was the person who could best help him understand the current situation, had just left, which made the head feel a little regretful.

"Captain!" The Chief of Staff spoke at the right time, "Our top priority right now is to return to the brigade headquarters immediately."

"Have you forgotten? This Yamazaki Brigade inexplicably appeared in Lijiapo. There are many doubts about it, and we need to figure it out."

The chief of staff's words reminded the commander of the Yamazaki Battalion.

Indeed, the appearance of the Yamazaki Battalion was too coincidental. The various heavy firepower equipment and large ammunition reserves were really a bit abrupt, and did not seem like what an ordinary Japanese battalion would carry.

The head of the sect had a vague feeling that there was definitely more to this than meets the eye.

"Thank your commander for me. Whenever you are free, you are always welcome to visit our Eighth Route Army!" The commander looked at Wei Dayong and expressed his gratitude solemnly.

After saying these words, the commander immediately turned around and left with the chief of staff.

His top priority next was to return to the brigade headquarters immediately and find out the truth of all this!

......

The Japanese Expeditionary Force's First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.

At this time, Kazuo Shinozuka was looking at the map in front of him, and his expression seemed quite confident of victory.

On the map, countless blue and red marks are densely arranged on it, symbolizing the deployment of troops from both sides.

This was the force that Kazuo Shinozuka deployed from the entire northwest of Shanxi, and it was also the basis for him to launch the third major sweep.

Among them, as long as any one of the arrangements is triggered, the other arrangements will react like a chain reaction, completely dragging the entire northwest Shanxi into the vortex of war, and the atmosphere of a war is about to break out!

Among them, Kazuo Shinozuka believes that the best place to get off to a good start is at Lijiaopo!

Just as his eyes fell on the location of Lijiaopo, suddenly!

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then a signalman quickly walked into the headquarters.

"Report to General! The signal of the Yamazaki Battalion...the signal was inexplicably interrupted!" The signalman looked a little panicked.

"What?" Kazuo Shinozuka turned his head suddenly, somewhat unable to believe his ears.

"What did you say? Signal interrupted?"

Just twenty minutes ago, the headquarters received good news from the Yamazaki Battalion.

Such a short period of time has passed, how could the signal be interrupted?

The Yamazaki Battalion had arranged a solid defensive position, and now the signal was suddenly interrupted, which meant that the Yamazaki Battalion's position had been directly captured!

"General! According to the latest intelligence, after the two main regiments of the 386th Brigade were defeated, a unit of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, numbered the 65th Division Independent Brigade, appeared at Lijiapo and launched an attack on the Yamazaki Battalion!"

"Jinsui Army? Independent Brigade?" Shinozuka Kazuo narrowed his eyes. "Where is this army from? I have never heard of it."

The staff officer at the side stepped forward at the right time to explain: "General! This independent brigade should be a newly formed unit of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. According to the intelligence obtained by the Special High Section, its organization is composed of the previous 357th and 359th Regiments. Their commander is named Qin Feng. He once led his troops to capture the headquarters of the 4th Brigade and attacked the military station of the 11th Brigade. After that, he crossed the mountainous area for thousands of miles to support Cangyunling, and even hindered the Yangcun decapitation plan..."

"After that, although Qin Feng himself was promoted for meritorious service and became the commander of an independent brigade, the organization under his command was severely damaged."

"It turned out to be him!" Shinozuka Kazuo also had a deep memory of Qin Feng's deeds. The last sweep had flaws because of Qin Feng, so that he failed to achieve the results he wanted.

but......

"You mean, this independent brigade is just a battalion that was defeated?" Shinozuka frowned subconsciously. "But if that's the case, how could they defeat the Yamazaki Battalion?"

According to the staff officer, this independent brigade was clearly understaffed, and its two regiments, which had suffered heavy losses, were completely unable to support the framework of the brigade.

Moreover, it has not been long since the battle of Cangyunling, and logically speaking, this independent brigade is still in the process of restoring its organization.

What exactly happened to the destruction of the Yamazaki Battalion?

Just as Kazuo Shinozuka frowned and thought deeply, thinking about the relationship here.

There was another noisy sound of footsteps outside.

I saw a communications soldier rushing in quickly from outside, his expression full of anxiety.

"Your Excellency the General! Report to Your Excellency the General!"

"A large number of Jinsui Army troops were spotted near Jiangjunling!"

"What?" Shinozuka Kazuo's expression froze. "Are there any signs of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army activity?"

But before he could figure out the situation, reports came from outside one after another.

"Report to His Excellency the General!"

"A large number of traces of the Jinsui Army have been found in the area around Wanjia Town, and the exact scale remains to be investigated!"

"Report to His Excellency the General!"

"A large number of Jinsui Army troops were spotted near Luohuangpo, and their destination is unknown!"

"Report to His Excellency the General!"

"A large number of Shanxi-Suiyuan troops suddenly appeared outside Ping'an County! It seems that their target is Ping'an County!"

"Report to His Excellency the General!"

"Report to His Excellency the General!"

"..."

Countless reports rang out in succession, instantly making the entire command center extremely noisy.

Although the intelligence they reported was from different locations, the contents were basically the same, that is, a large number of Shanxi Suiyuan Army troops appeared and were discovered by the troops in various strongholds!

"Damn it! Where did the Shanxi Suiyuan Army come from? How dare they take action at this time?" Shinozuka Kazuo's face was gloomy.

Based on his understanding of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's infiltration over the years, he knew that once he launched a large-scale sweep, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's troops would basically not dare to come out, not to mention their ridiculous counterattack plan.

But now, there are so many signs of activities of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army in the entire northwest of Shanxi, and it also concerns the Ping'an County City that is part of his major plan!

This made Kazuo Shinozuka feel that things were beyond his expectations.

Could it be that his plan had already been discovered by Commander Yan and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and that they had made such arrangements?

As this thought flashed through his mind, a gloomy look appeared on Shinozuka Kazuo's face.

This is irrelevant to the overall situation. The war situation in northwest Shanxi is getting bigger and bigger. The more troops the Shanxi Suiyuan Army invests, the more likely it is that a full-scale battle will be launched!

By then, the war situation will become more and more complicated, and the three blockade lines he set up outside will all be closed, and finally the Xia State armed forces in northwest Shanxi will be completely destroyed!

Immediately, Shinozuka Kazuo spoke directly: "Pass my order!"

"Hurry up and have the reinforcements from Shuiquan and Luyang change their route and head to Ping'an County to provide support!"

"Ha Yi!" The staff officer nodded immediately.

Now that the Yamazaki Battalion has been taken down, the Lijiaopo area is no longer important.

His top priority was to ensure that nothing went wrong in Ping'an County and to prevent any unplanned incidents.

At the same time, he sent out troops from Shuiquan and Luyang to make Ping'an County the center of the vortex in the entire northwest of Shanxi and completely stir up the war situation in the entire northwest of Shanxi!

Thinking of this, Kazuo Shinozuka's face showed confidence that everything was under control!
