The news of the "77 Incident" shocked China and foreign countries! The Japanese army brazenly attacked Wanping City, and the 37th Division of the 29th Army of the Chinese defenders bravely resisted. In addition to informing the League of Nations and protesting to the Japanese government, the Nationalist Government that received the news also ordered all armed forces in the country to enter a state of emergency combat readiness!

Shanxi's mountains and rivers, majestic terrain, location close to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Shanxi Province's director of the Pacification Office Yan Xishan is one of the few people in the country who hold real power! There is such a big incident in Beiping, of course the chairman of the committee in Nanjing must inform Director Yan as soon as possible!

In fact, there is no need for a notice from the Military Commission, Jin Suijun's own eyeliner has already put first-hand information on Yan Xishan's desk long before Nanjing issued the notice.

Japan has always been a thief to China! Director Yan has always been a little wary of this neighbor in the East and overseas, and after he received the first-hand information sent from Beiping, the first thing he thought of was to report it to General Fu Zuoyi, chairman of Suiyuan Province.

Although General Fu has already set up his own door and worked alone, after all, he has had the righteousness of the monarch and the minister with Director Yan for so long, and the Jin Sui army is talking about the army of the two provinces of Jin and Sui. At this critical juncture, Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces are advancing and retreating together, and it is inevitable that Director Yan and Chairman Fu will work together to resist the strong enemy.

After informing Fu Zuoyi, Yan Xishan immediately ordered all the troops under his command to enter a state of emergency. All ministries are on alert on the spot, build national defense fortifications, and prepare for a bloody battle with the Japanese invaders to the end!

The defense area of the 61st Army was near Tianzhen and Yanggao, and after receiving the order of the Pacification Office, General Li Fuying began to arrange defenses with Tianzhen as the center. Dig trenches, repair bunkers, set up defensive positions, and do your best to prepare for the upcoming big war!

The cavalry brigade is now also a member of the 61st Army's battle sequence, and of course the order was also given to Hu Fei. Hu Fei's troops were basically cavalry, and horse raiding was his old profession. If he makes a surprise attack and charges into battle, then he can do it, if he lets Hu Fei dig trenches and repair fortifications, he will be a layman.

The layman has to do it, too! You can't do it, you will always learn, right? You'll always see it, right? See how others dig it, and then go back to practice after reading it!

Ji Jinbiao, Gou Tianxiao, Xiong Wei, these bandit-born officers picked up shovels and began to dig the ground! Fei Ge said, you have to learn if you don't know! If you don't even learn, then you are not a member of the independent cavalry brigade! You didn't look, Hu Fei was still digging trenches with shovels all day long.

If you want to say that Hu Fei's subordinates really have someone who can dig trenches, this person is Yang Jinsheng. Company Commander Yang has been to Fengtian's lecture hall and served as a captain and company commander in the Fengjun army, and the trenches he dug may not be particularly strong and beautiful, anyway, it will not be wrong to be much stronger than Ji Jinbiao's gang!

Hu Fei led Ji Jinbiao and his gang to observe Yang Jinsheng digging trenches every day. Anyone can dig with a shovel, but how deep do you dig a trench? How wide? How long? Where to turn? You have to learn all of this! When Yang Jinsheng was in school in the lecture hall, he had learned the course of digging trenches, and it was certainly more than enough to teach this group of old men who had never even seen what trenches were.

Hu Fei was learning to dig trenches, but the fighting between the Chinese and Japanese armies in the Pingjin area was going on. On July 30, the Japanese occupied Pingjin. The Pingjin War ended with the loss of two major cities in China and the loss of large swaths of the country.

When the Pingjin War entered the middle and late stages, the Nationalist Government's peace talks with Japan broke down, and the whole country was immediately divided into five major theaters, and Yan Xishan, director of the Shaanxi Provincial Pacification Office, concurrently served as the commander of the Second Theater. It is in charge of the three provinces of Jin, Sui and Cha, and has jurisdiction over the Sixth Group Army of Yang Aiyuan, the Seventh Group Army of Fu Zuoyi, and the Eighteenth Group Army of the Communist Party of China.

In August, the Japanese invaded Nankou. The 13th Army of Townenbo's headquarters fought fiercely with the Japanese at Nankou. After 19 days, the Chinese army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and finally retreated. Although the Battle of Nankou failed, the heroic and tenacious spirit of our Chinese soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice will always be worthy of praise from the Chinese people. On the 27th, Zhangjiakou was lost!

The Japanese attack on Shanxi was imminent. The various units of the Jin Sui army entered a state of imminent battle. General Wei Lihuang led the 14th Group Army to temporarily join the Second Theater of Operations and served as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, preparing to resist the Japanese invaders.

Elite soldiers from all walks of life gathered in Shanxi, and an unprecedentedly fierce battle seemed to be imminent.

Tianzhen, located at the junction of Shanxi, Hebei and Mongolian provinces, is the gateway to Shanxi. If the Japanese invaders want to attack Shanxi, the first battle must be Tianzhen! General Li Fuying and the 61st Army had been pushed to the top of the storm, and Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade were also part of this tip.

The war is coming, and all the Chinese soldiers are looking forward to spilling their blood on the battlefield, and they are all looking forward to fighting for the country and the nation, and fighting the Japanese invaders on the battlefield! As a veteran of 20 years in the army, General Li Fuying's ambition to serve the country is not less than that of a young man.

This time, knowing that the Tianzhen he was guarding was likely to be the first battle of the Japanese invasion of Shanxi, General Li Fuying was even more cautious. Tianzhen is in, then Shanxi is in! In order to better resist the Japanese invaders, Commander Li deployed various troops under his command according to the terrain near Tianzhen. After all the troops that should be arranged were arranged, Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade fell into Li Fuying's eyes, and Commander Li was embarrassed.

The cavalry brigade has thousands of cavalry, and has experienced the battle of Bailingmiao, and has the experience of fighting against the Japanese invaders, so it is said that it should be a mobile force that has always been strong. If used well, this cavalry unit will most likely build miracles on the battlefield in the future! But what if you don't use it well?

General Fu Zuoyi said that Hu Fei, the captain of the cavalry brigade, was born in the Hu bandits in the northeast, and most of the backbone of the cavalry brigade also followed Hu Fei from the Hu bandits! Don't think about it, Hu Fei's gang must be a group of people who treat military discipline as nothing and are used to doing what they are used to. Who would dare to use such a force with confidence? Others don't know, anyway, he doesn't dare to use it!

If there is a war, let them go west instead of east, let them defend them have to move, wouldn't it be a dead man?

However, not daring to use it does not mean that you will never use it. Fighting devils is the responsibility of a husband, and as long as Chinese are Chinese, they have the right and duty to resist Japan. The cavalry brigade is the country's armed forces, and there is always a place for them on the battlefield of resistance against Japan! Anyway, as soon as the battle begins, these thousands of cavalry must not be idle until the rear.

The main positions did not dare to be handed over to them, and the less important positions could still be given to them. Li Fuying searched for a long time on the map of Shanxi, and finally found a place called Shishitun near Tianzhen.

Shishitun is located in the southwest of Tianzhen, which belongs to the edge of the mountainous area, and the geographical location is relatively not too important. However, if you don't send troops to defend it, it's a loophole. Using Hu Fei and his cavalry brigade to plug this loophole is obviously a good choice.

After confirming it again, Li Fuying set the defense area of the cavalry brigade to Shishitun.
