After listening to the report of Mrs. Li and the old shopkeeper who were in charge of the daily necessities warehouse, Chen Feng got up and concluded: "Everyone, the army has just been formed, and it has collided with the Kwantung Army, the most elite of the Japanese army, so there are indeed a lot of difficulties. But there are always more ways than difficulties, and no matter how difficult it is, it is not a reason for us to retreat. In the battle of Tianzhen, our security regiment spoke with strength, played its own prestige, annihilated nearly 6,000 elite soldiers of the little devils, and also annihilated two puppet cavalry divisions, which are inseparable from everyone here, so I hope that in the next time we can still fight against the Japanese with the same enemy. ”

"Fight against the same enemy and fight against the Japanese invaders!" Everyone said in unison.

After the meeting, Chen Feng inspected all the factories and warehouses on the mountain, although he was not on the mountain during this time, but his father and Xu Hu did a very good job, the order on the mountain was orderly, but the defense on the mountain was not strict enough. Thinking that the little devil also has his own special combat team, although it is not too professional, but the rock climbing raid is not a problem, so Chen Feng instructed Xu Hu not to just stare at the road up the mountain, and the cliff side and other directions should not be negligent. In any case, the safety of these factories must be guaranteed, and when the steel output comes up, Chen Feng still hopes to rely on this base to make money for him.

In the afternoon, after inspecting the arsenal, Chen Feng took out the construction of the Type 75 antiaircraft machine gun, and then used it in the cave where the antiaircraft machine gun had been prepared in advance.

Everyone was shocked by Chen Feng's ability to make something out of nothing, but everyone was very interested and never asked, whether it was Old Man Chen or Xu Hu, they buried this matter silently in their hearts.

In the evening, Chen Feng also used the mining farm construction order, to Chen Feng's delight, the mining field actually used a crawler conveyor, all the mined ore was sent out of the mine with a crawler trip, and the workers only needed to transport the mined ore to the steel plant one kilometer away.

Chen Feng is recruiting troops to expand production capacity, and he is very busy. However, the Japanese Chahar Dispatch Corps is a gloomy cloud on this side, the Tianzhen operation is simply a nightmare for the Chahar Dispatch Corps, after the war statistics, the Chahar Dispatch Corps lost 7,681 soldiers, including 1 major general, 1 Dazuo, 4 Zhongzuo, and 9 Shaozuo. In addition, there were more than 4,000 light and serious wounded, and the number of casualties was nearly 12,000, accounting for more than one-third of the Chahar Corps. This is not counting the puppet Mongol army, which fought in coordination with the Japanese army, also suffered a lot of losses, two complete cavalry divisions were annihilated, two were disabled, and the loss of more than 8,000 soldiers was lost.

What made the entire Chahar Dispatch Corps even more unable to step down was that the vast majority of such huge casualties were caused by a local security regiment in China.

Hideki Tojo, who was not favored by the Ministry of War in the first place, received a telegram of reprimand from Sankoku this time, and was directly denounced by Lu Xiangbin Yamamoto and Prince Kanin Miyakihito, the actual controller of the base camp, for his incompetence.

As a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army and chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Japan's largest military group, Hideki Tojo's days were not as nourishing as outsiders imagined. Although his senior, Nagata Tetsuyama, trusted him, calling him "a figure who will shoulder the Japanese Army in the future." At that time, in the Japanese Army, Nagata Tetsuyama was known as the first brain in the army for his intelligence, and he was very politically capable, and he was recognized as the boss of the control faction, and he was well known as "the important person who shouldered the future of the Japanese Army".

However, Nagata Tetsuyama did not become a decisive figure in Tojo's later success. As for Hideki Tojo and his person, the opinion within the Japanese Army can be described as mixed. A group of people represented by Nagata Tetsuyama attached great importance to his ability to act, but at the same time, a considerable number of people questioned his ideological ability, and the most representative figure was Ishihara Wanji, who was known as Japan's first military strategist.

In Ishihara's eyes, Hideki Tojo is not only immoral and incompetent, but even his appearance makes him unbearable. Behind the scenes, Ishihara said that it was commonplace for Tojo to speak ill of him, and that Tojo could only keep ten machine guns, and if he exceeded ten, he couldn't do anything. Ishihara once called Hideki Tojo, who had been promoted to lieutenant general, "Tojo Senior Soldier" to his face, which caused everyone who heard this to laugh.

It is said that after receiving a telegram from Chahar to send troops to retreat from Huailai, Prince Zaihito of the Kanin Palace shouted at a high-level meeting of the base camp that "Tojo is a superior soldier", which made many officers of the command faction unable to step down.

Hideki Tojo, who was rescued, ignored the sharp pain in his chest and held a brigade-level military meeting at the temporary headquarters in Huailai on the morning of September 14.

When these high-ranking officers in the conference room saw Hideki Tojo, they all noticed that the previously serious Commander Tojo seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden.

"Gentlemen, in the battle of Tianzhen, our Imperial Japanese Army returned with a crushing defeat, and I, the commander of the dispatch army, have to bear an unshirkable responsibility, and I have reported to the base camp to ask for punishment. Today we are going to discuss how to destroy that hateful Chinese army, whose existence is a shame that cannot be washed away by our Kwantung Army and the entire Imperial Japanese Army. Hideki Tojo gasped.

"Before that, I'll introduce someone to you, come in, Plains Jun!" Hideki Tojo continued.

At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and a large Zuo in an earthy yellow military uniform walked in, first bowed to the senior officers present, and then found a seat at the end of the round conference table and sat down.

"Pingyuan-kun, please come here!" Hideki Tojo said, pointing to a spot under his head.

Osa, who was known as Hirahara-kun, was not polite, and strode over to Hideki Tojo, and sat down next to Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade.

"Gentlemen, this is Pingyuanjun, the person in charge of the North China side of the special high-tech department. They had been paying attention to that army for a long time, so let him tell us about that army. "Hideki Tojo.

After listening to Hideki Tojo's words, all the officers present were relieved, it turned out to be a person from the special high-tech department, no wonder a small army commander needed Commander Tojo to be so courteous.

"Senior commanders, I am Eichi Plains, the head of the North China Region of the Special High-tech Branch, and we have been paying attention to the Shina unit that suddenly appeared on the front line of Tianzhen for a long time, and we have also obtained some very valuable information. Sun Tzu, a great military strategist in China, once said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and this time the imperial army was defeated under the city of Tianzhen, which was to suffer an unknown loss to the enemy. After easing the atmosphere, Hirahara Eiichi continued: "Xinghe County Security Regiment, a local unit under the jurisdiction of the Security Department of Suiyuan Province in China, the unit was established in March of Showa 12, and the commander is called Chen Feng, the only son of Chen Binggong, the largest grain merchant in the north of China. Before the full-scale outbreak of war, this unit had purchased large quantities of weapons and equipment and medicines from German arms dealers on two consecutive occasions, and according to later investigations, the two batches of weapons and equipment were quite large and were estimated to be able to equip a complete infantry brigade. ”

"Our special high-tech team once sent an elite special team to intercept this batch of weapons and equipment, but it failed, and all the 123 members of the special brigade were shattered. Originally, we thought that this Chen Feng should be the transaction representative sent by Yan Xishan in Shanxi, and the final destination of that batch of weapons and equipment should be Shanxi, so we reported the information to the base camp and asked them to pay special attention to the possible appearance of German weapons in Yan Xishan's Jin Sui army. But now it seems that Chen Feng is the buyer, and that batch of weapons and equipment should be equipped in that security regiment, otherwise a newly formed Chinese army would not have such strong combat effectiveness. ”

As soon as Eiichi Hihara's words fell, Hideki Tojo said loudly: "The Battle of Tenjin had a great impact on our Great Japanese Empire, and as soon as the news was reported, the whole country rejoiced. Chiang, the leader of China, has officially ordered the promotion of the Xinghe County Security Regiment to the independent 222nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army of China, and Chen Feng is the commander of the major general. This unit is also advertised as an invincible heroic force, and to put it mildly, this Shina Security Regiment has become the banner of the Chinese rebels, so we must destroy it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more Chinese troops who will become resolute resisters, become the second and third security regiments. Moreover, the bad impact of this war on our Great Japanese Empire was not limited to these, and the combat effectiveness of the countries of the world against the imperial army had dropped a lot because of this war, and the Red Soviet Union in the north even openly clamored that as long as their heroic Soviet Red Army went to war, they could completely annihilate the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army stationed in Manchukuo in less than a month. ”

"Your Excellency Commander, this branch of the Chinese army must be annihilated, otherwise our Kwantung Army will be completely disgraced, and all of us here will have no shame to face Commander Ueda." Norihide Abe said loudly.

"Yo Xi, Lieutenant General Abe Norihide deserves to be the flower of the famous generals of the empire, our Chahar sent corps from the Kwantung Army, our shame will definitely affect the honor of the Kwantung Army, so it is imperative to eliminate the Shina Security Corps!" Hideki Tojo.

"Pingyuan-kun, how many troops are there in this branch now, and who are the main military commanders, do you have a record of this?" Major General Masatomi Yasuoka, the new commander of the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade, asked.
