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

In Commander Yan's opinion at this time, the independent brigade has finally recovered its strength, so it should avoid a head-on confrontation with the Japanese and focus on preserving its strength.

If we really want to fight the Japanese with real weapons, we have to wait until he returns to the Second War Zone Command and then allocate all supplies to the independent brigade!

But in response to his words, Leng Yue shook his head: "Sir, our brigade commander has said so."

"Once the Japs launch their third sweep, it will start immediately and there will be no stopping!"

"Even if the Yamamoto Special Forces' plan fails, the sweep will still be the general trend until it affects the entire northwest of Shanxi!"

As Leng Yue finished speaking quickly, the whole audience fell silent.

The tragic scenes of the second major mop-up operation are still vivid in people’s minds. Both the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses.

If the situation is not handled properly, the entire Xia State armed forces in northwest Shanxi will be wiped out.

After a long while, the Chief of Staff shook his head bitterly: "We are really too passive!"

Hearing this, the deputy commander who had been listening silently the whole time took a deep breath and said, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Since the devils want to fight, let's fight them vigorously!"

Since the entire northwest Shanxi has been involved in the battle and the situation is irreversible, instead of waiting to die passively, it is better to fight head-on!

War is never static, and the courage to fight is also part of victory!

"But the deputy commander-in-chief!" The chief of staff hesitated, "That being said, there is only one troop sent by the independent brigade in Ping'an County."

"Their main force is currently fighting in Lijiapo, and now in Ping'an County. In this situation, attacking Ping'an County is tantamount to..."

This is indeed the case. The newly formed independent brigade has to resist the offensive of the Yamazaki Battalion and send troops to attack Ping'an County!

Fighting on two fronts is tantamount to chronic suicide on a large-scale battlefield!

An independent brigade is completely inadequate, unless they have the strength of an entire division, that would make sense.

And there must be enough heavy firepower to pose a certain threat to Ping'an County!

But unfortunately, everyone had regarded that independent brigade as a reserve force for digging and filling holes!

Under such circumstances, I'm afraid that no one within the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army took this emerging independent brigade seriously!

Commander Yan took a deep breath and said, "Oh! I should have paid more attention to this independent brigade earlier..."

Just as Commander Yan was feeling annoyed, Leng Yue couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Commanders!"

"In fact, if it's Ping'an County, there's nothing to worry about!"

"What do you mean?" Commander Yan, the deputy commander-in-chief and others all looked sideways.

Leng Yue paused and said, "Before the brigade commander set out, he ordered an artillery company to reinforce Ping'an County. Calculating the time, it should be arriving soon!"

"Artillery battery?"

"Qin Feng also sent out an artillery company?" Commander Yan shouted subconsciously.

"Yes!" Leng Yue nodded.

At this time, the operations room had fallen into silence again.

In theory, although an artillery company is very valuable to ordinary troops, it is not that important to Commander Yan.

Why was he so surprised at this moment?

This is precisely because this matter has a premise!

That is Qin Feng’s independent brigade, which Commander Yan actually never took seriously!

The reason was that in the last military survey, he found that only one in ten of the independent brigade remained, and he thought Qin Feng was just drawing a salary without doing anything, so he directly sent him to the reserve team.

It is precisely because of this that he is so surprised by the tremendous changes in the Independent Brigade!

The Yamamoto special forces team that made the elite guard battalion helpless was actually solved by the independent brigade's sharpshooters in just a few hits!

Now a cannon company appeared from nowhere?

This was too unbelievable for Commander Yan. Could it be that Qin Feng had managed to lead the entire independent brigade by relying on self-sufficiency?

"It seems that I don't pay enough attention to your independent brigade!" Commander Yan shook his head, looking quite annoyed.

If he had paid more attention to Qin Feng earlier, he might have discovered the true strength of the Independent Brigade!

If the independent brigade had not sent troops in advance, the Japanese decapitation plan would have been completely successful!

By then, the top commanders of the Eighth Route Army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will be wiped out, and they will be in a situation where they have lost their backbone and are leaderless!

Commander Yan immediately made up his mind to return to his headquarters immediately.

Under the current situation, only if he personally returns to the headquarters to take charge of the overall situation can the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army be fully mobilized!

......

Not long after, Commander Yan left with his men.

The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief of staff were left standing there staring at each other.

"It seems that we should pay more attention to Qin Feng." The chief of staff suddenly said.

The deputy commander nodded. This was true. If it weren’t for Qin Feng, there would have been a big mess today.

Qin Feng had made preparations for both the Yamazaki Battalion and Ping'an County, which made it seem that their headquarters and Commander Yan had nothing to do!

at this time!

There was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief! Urgent message from the 386th Brigade!"

"The 386th Brigade?" Upon hearing the news, the deputy commander-in-chief frowned subconsciously.

He immediately walked quickly towards the communications room, and the chief of staff followed immediately.

As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard the extremely happy voice of the headmaster on the other end.

"Deputy Commander! I have a piece of good news to report to you first!"

"Happy event?" The deputy commander was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted, "You mean the Yamazaki Battalion?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you!" The excited voice of the commander came over, "Report to the deputy commander! The Yamazaki Battalion has been completely wiped out, a total of 1134 devils!"

The message contained in the chief's tone could be clearly felt even through the phone line.

Although the deputy commander was prepared, he still couldn't help but be shocked: "They were all killed? So quickly?"

Originally, the deputy commander thought that the battle would last for a long time. After all, he now knew that the Yamazaki Battalion had planned this.

Thinking of this, the deputy commander-in-chief couldn't help but become interested in this battle: "The Yamazaki Battalion is a tough nut to crack. Tell me how you defeated them?"

"If I remember correctly, the two main regiments under your command have been severely damaged by the Yamazaki Battalion, right?"

"Ahem!" When mentioning this, the chief couldn't help but cough twice in embarrassment.

"It's a long story. In fact, the reason why this battle was able to achieve such a result was that the reinforcements from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Independent Brigade deserve the most credit!"

"It's the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army that has helped our Eighth Route Army many times."

"You don't know, they were originally assigned to the reserve troops, but they fought so fiercely! When their equipment was unveiled, my jaw almost dropped!"

"There were a total of thirty-six grenade launchers. Not to mention the Japanese, even I was dumbfounded at the time!" The chief said to himself.

But he waited for a long time and still didn't get any response from the deputy commander.

"Deputy commander-in-chief? Deputy commander-in-chief?"

It's been a long time!

"What did you just say? That independent brigade deployed more than 30 artillery pieces? At Lijiapo?!"

The deputy commander-in-chief's voice suddenly sounded, but there was a hint of urgency and even trembling in the voice!
