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

At this moment.

A troop of soldiers in gray uniforms are lined up in a long line and marching quickly forward!

The leader of this team is naturally Ding Wei, the commander of the New Second Regiment.

"How long will it take to reach Ping'an County?" Ding Wei frowned and looked to his side.

"Captain! After we pass the slope ahead, we will reach Ping'an County!" The deputy quickly flipped through the map, "The estimated journey time is about ten minutes!"

"Ten minutes!" Ding Wei's brows furrowed even more. He knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was urgent and the longer the time, the more difficult it would be to estimate.

"Old Ding! Listen, the sound of artillery fire seems to have stopped!" Kong Jie on the side suddenly said.

As early as a few minutes ago, they heard artillery fire coming from the direction of Ping'an County. As they got closer, the artillery fire should have become louder.

How come it suddenly stopped?

In this situation, there are probably only two possible results. One is that Ping'an County is broken, and the other is that the New 1st Regiment is completely wiped out!

"Old Kong, don't worry. It's useless to worry now. Old Li will be fine!" Ding Wei forced himself to comfort Kong Jie.

"But the density and intensity of this kind of artillery fire definitely cannot be the fire from the New 1st Regiment!" Kong Jie was pessimistic.

How many guns did the New 1st Regiment have? How could he not know?

Ding Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order! Everyone, speed up!"

"We must get to Ping'an County within five minutes!"

Ding Wei looked a little anxious. He knew that this situation was absolutely abnormal. It was very likely that Lao Li had been bombarded by heavy artillery from the Japanese.

After all, no one knows whether the Japanese have any backup plans in Ping'an County.

"Yes! Commander!" Ding Wei's deputy responded suddenly.

......

In the Ping'an County position.

At this time, only Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and other backbone members of the New 1st Regiment were left here.

They all stood there in a daze, looking confused.

"Captain! This... This is too outrageous, isn't it?" Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but look at Li Yunlong, "We saw the pillars with our own eyes on Cangyun Ridge..."

Could it be that this pillar is reborn? !

At that time, there were Japanese soldiers pretending to be dead who fired the gun. They saw with their own eyes that Zhuzi was shot by the Japanese and then fell to the ground.

Moreover, the situation on the battlefield was urgent at the time. All the soldiers were charging and had no time to check the pillars. Everyone was hanging their heads on their belts, and no one knew who would follow closely behind.

"No wonder I didn't find Zhuzi's body at that time." Li Yunlong frowned, trying to recall the situation in Cangyunling at that time, "Perhaps it was really the Shanxi Suiyuan Army Field Hospital that took Zhuzi away and rescued him."

Hearing this possibility, Zhang Dabiao nodded: "If this is the case, Zhuzi is really a blessing in disguise!"

It’s a whole artillery regiment directly under the brigade!

Moreover, it can be seen from this reinforced artillery company that the gold content of this independent brigade artillery regiment is definitely not low!

Judging from the current situation, that exclusive artillery regiment has more than twenty guns, and they are large-caliber heavy artillery!

"Captain! Tell me, since Zhuzi is not dead, can we..."

"No! Damn it! What are you thinking about?" Before Zhang Dabiao could say anything, Li Yunlong waved his hand and suddenly interrupted his narration.

"But Captain, no matter what, Zhuzi used to be a member of our New 1st Regiment!" Zhang Dabiao said tentatively.

"Don't even think about it!" Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Zhu Zi is now a member of the independent brigade. This time, a reinforced artillery company was mobilized to support us. It's already quite good for us to get some benefits!"

"Don't think so much!" Li Yunlong impatiently told Zhang Dabiao to shut up.

Putting aside other things, just for the sake of face, Li Yunlong couldn't bring himself to ask others for help.

Moreover, when Li Yunlong thought of this kid Zhuzi, who was now in charge of an artillery regiment with at least twenty guns, he felt powerless.

He himself can't master any of them now!

Moreover, he almost caused a disaster inadvertently, and almost caused trouble at the headquarters!

If Qin Feng hadn't predicted everything behind the scenes, Li Yunlong would probably not have deserved to die today!

Just when Lao Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

suddenly!

"Report to the leader!"

"Captain Ding Weiding of the New Second Regiment is here!" A soldier quickly came to Li Yunlong and reported loudly.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong turned around and looked into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Ding Wei riding a horse and leading his troops, galloping towards this side. At the same time, next to Ding Wei, there was a very familiar face!

"Lao Ding! Lao Kong! Hahaha, why are you here?" Li Yunlong glanced at them and burst into laughter.

"Li Yunlong! Damn you! How can you still laugh?" As soon as Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong, he felt furious and started to curse angrily in public.

Seeing Kong Jie speaking anxiously, Li Yunlong also laughed awkwardly: "Old Kong, why are you here?"

"Nonsense!" Kong Jie said angrily, "If I wasn't afraid that no one would collect your body after you, Li Yunlong, died, I wouldn't even want to come here!"

"Hahaha!" The smile on Li Yunlong's face became even more intense.

When he saw Ding Wei appear, he understood that it must be Kong Jie who ran to Ding Wei to seek reinforcements and come to Ping'an County for support.

I have to say that the friendship between these two old brothers is truly beyond words.

"Let's not change the subject for now, Old Li, what's going on in this Ping'an County?" Ding Wei interrupted the two of them and asked Li Yunlong.

He rode his horse at full speed all the way here, and when he saw the ruins, to be honest, his heart sank and he almost fainted.

But then, after he came over and observed carefully, he found something obviously wrong!

Looking up, I saw groups of soldiers in green military uniforms cleaning the battlefield skillfully, while the Ping'an County not far away had collapsed into ruins!

It seemed as if the city had suffered a severe blow, and the outer city wall had become a pile of broken bricks and tiles!

"Old Ding, everything is fine. Ping'an County has been taken!" Li Yunlong said with certainty.

"You took it down?" Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, "Don't you dare fool me!"

Kong Jie next to him was also confused. He could still hear the extremely obvious roar of artillery fire for the first ten minutes or so.

And now you tell him that you have taken it down?

How could it be so fast? Even if they were attacking a bandit camp, it wouldn't be so fast!

Not to mention Ding Wei and Kong Jie, even if it was anyone else, they wouldn’t dare to believe it!

"I'm telling the truth." Li Yunlong said with certainty.

"Don't joke with me. With the few troops you have, can you capture Ping'an County?" Ding Wei stared at Li Yunlong and said word by word.

He was well aware of the general situation of Li Yunlong's New 1500st Regiment. Its strength definitely did not exceed , and it did not have any decent heavy firepower!

"Ahem, actually the reason why Ping'an City was captured wasn't actually because of me." Li Yunlong coughed twice and said rather awkwardly.

"What do you mean? Can you speak some human language?" Ding Wei couldn't help but curse, he was playing guessing games with him!

Li Yunlong took a deep breath and said, "Old Ding, Old Kong, let me be frank. The reason why I, Old Li, can stand here safely is thanks to the Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army!"

"Jinsui Army?"

"Independent Brigade?"

"Old Li, are you talking about the newly formed independent brigade composed of the 357th and 359th Regiments?" Kong Jie asked with a frown.

"Yes! It's that independent brigade. They sent out a reinforced artillery company, and a round of heavy artillery fire blew up the city gate tower!" Li Yunlong pointed to the Ping'an City tower that had been smashed into pieces not far ahead.

"Jinsui Army, that's not surprising... Wait! Are you talking about heavy artillery?" Ding Wei's brows also tightened.

It's not surprising that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has artillery, after all, their entire army is quite wealthy.

But the meaning of heavy artillery is different!

No matter who is here, everyone knows what heavy artillery means!

"Old Li! I heard that the independent brigade has been incorporated into the reserve force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Are you sure it is them who are coming to support you?" Kong Jie confirmed again with a very serious expression.

"It's absolutely true! They are now clearing out the remaining Japanese invaders in the city. If you don't believe me, I'll introduce you to their Captain Yang later!" Li Yunlong pointed to Ping'an County.

From the direction of the city, sporadic sounds of submachine gun fire could be heard, and it was obvious that the other side was cleaning up the battlefield.

"That's great. Please introduce Qin Feng to me later. I've heard of your great name for a long time." Ding Wei couldn't help rubbing his hands.

But in fact, only he knew that what he wanted to see most was the heavy artillery, which was a rare item in northwest Shanxi and was rarely seen by ordinary people!

"I don't need that. I knew him much earlier than you did in Yangcun." Kong Jie waved his hand.

Seeing that Kong Jie looked indifferent, Li Yunlong became unhappy. You have known Qin Feng for a long time, and you are the only one showing off?

Li Yunlong: "Old Kong, you're right. You should know that the independent brigade has more than just an artillery company."

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong and asked.

"It's really strange. Qin Feng has only been the brigade commander for a short time, but he has not only an artillery company but an entire artillery regiment!"

"And it's a heavy artillery regiment!" Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Old Ding, Old Kong, we should all carefully examine how to contact Qin Feng!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to utter a word for a while.

......

In the Cangyun Mountains, inside the Independent Brigade’s base.

At this time, Wang Ke had a serious look on her face and kept walking back and forth in the command center. Next to her was the cadre in charge of the base construction.

"Report to the quartermaster!"

"The technical arms training base is almost complete. The next step is to wait for the technical weapons to arrive!"

"Yeah." Wang Ke nodded.

This was what Qin Feng specifically told her to focus on before he left, and he also said that it was essential for their independent brigade to expand its combat effectiveness.

Wang Ke generally never questions the brigade commander's orders, but only carries them out conscientiously.

After all the construction, training, logistics and production aspects have been reported.

Next, Wang Ke looked at the signalman at the brigade's independent command center: "Has the brigade commander returned? Also, where are the other units that have returned?"

"Report to the Quartermaster General! We have contacted the returning troops and are now on the way back!"

Hearing the communicator's words, Wang Ke nodded slightly: "Tell these returning units to be careful and not bring the tail back to the base."

"Yes! Quartermaster!"

At this time, the entire independent brigade was extremely busy. All affairs of the brigade were controlled by Wang Ke, and his power was astonishingly great.

Qin Feng has handed over all affairs to her, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Ke is now the second-in-command of the independent brigade.

Corresponding to power is a sharp increase in pressure.

What's more, the brigade commander Qin Feng didn't care about anything. He arranged the affairs one foot and ran to Lijiaopo the next, treating her like a beast of burden!

But the most important thing is that the entire northwest Shanxi is now in unrest. There are exchanges of fire in various places to varying degrees. The war has begun to spread from the central part of northwest Shanxi to the surrounding areas. This seems to be some kind of sign, and even a beginning!

Fortunately, their brigade headquarters was located in the Cangyun Mountains, so they were not affected by the war.

But this is not a short-term solution, they must prepare early!

The good news is that the speed of base construction is much faster than Wang Ke had imagined, and the soldiers' enthusiasm and enthusiasm for work are rare.

At this rate, they could even start digging further into the mountain according to the blueprints...

...

at the same time.

The sentry post position outside the independent brigade’s base.

Several soldiers who had just joined the independent brigade were looking into the distance and chatting during the shift change.

"Brother Zhao, you've been in the army longer than me, can you tell me how many people there are in our army?"

A young soldier was approaching an older, more mature-looking soldier, and he looked a little curious.

The soldier whom he called "Brother Zhao" also had a helpless look on his face.

"Are you an idiot? We are an independent brigade, and you're still asking how many people there are in our brigade?"

The young soldier scratched his head and replied, "A brigade must have at least three regiments, which means there are 5,000 people, right? But the problem is, I haven't heard which regiment we belong to!"

"I counted and counted, and there are only two regiments under our brigade. I only know one regiment commander, Yang, among them. Where is the other regiment commander?"

"Brother Zhao, do you think our brigade commander may have falsely reported the establishment and collected salaries without paying them?"

The young soldier's words immediately made Brother Zhao completely confused.

He gave the young soldier a slap on the face and glared at him fiercely: "What are you talking about? If you say something like that again, I'll beat you up!"

Just as the little soldier was covering his head in pain and preparing to say something in grievance.

Brother Zhao waved his hand to interrupt him: "Shh! Don't talk!"

"Listen to the noise, it's coming!"

The young soldier was confused and had no idea what Brother Zhao was talking about, so he could only follow Brother Zhao's example and look in that direction!

You won’t know until you see it. As soon as he looked over, the scene in front of him made him stunned!

“Zhao…Brother Zhao! What is this?!”

On the horizon right in front of the base, I saw a huge team forming a long dragon and marching towards this side!

Just one glance is enough to see how huge the number of people is!

Countless human figures, densely covering the mountains and forests, flashed one after another on their retinas!
