On the morning of November 10, when the soldiers in Datong City got up in the morning and prepared for the drill, they found that Datong had changed overnight, and all the people had grown their mouths, and they didn't know what language to use to describe the Dao. Ordinary people can't see the changes in Datong, how can they not see that the city wall that is more than three meters wide has become eight meters wide, and such a change is not ordinary.

After many people reacted, they knelt on the ground for the first time, and their mouths were chattering, what to thank the Buddha and Bodhisattva, thank the Jade Emperor, thank the Queen Mother, thank the King of Jizo Bodhisattva, and thank the Lord of Yama

In the eyes of everyone, the change in Datong is a miracle, and such a huge project cannot be completed in a day or two, and it cannot be completed at all without three or five years.

The most direct effect of such a miracle is to raise the worship of Chen Feng to a new height by all the officers and soldiers, and those recruits who have just joined even worshiped Chen Feng, and their fanatical worship makes Chen Feng himself feel ashamed.

The changes in Datong are no secret, the city wall is placed there, and the discerning person can see its main changes at a glance, especially the four huge city gate towers are particularly conspicuous. Originally, the four gate buildings in Datong were not bad, more than ten meters high, but now they have suddenly become not only a majestic building twenty meters high, but also the shape of a defensive fortress, with firing ports everywhere, and even places to place fortress cannons on them.

What is the situation, how could such a majestic fortress suddenly appear in a small city in northern China overnight? Although it is only four easts and easts similar to the city gate towers, it is not possible to build it in a day or two. Is it really a miracle from heaven as the Chinese general advertised, Datong is a city of miracles and a city of heavenly blessings.

However, there is a rumor circulating within the 61st Army that their Lord Commander is a messenger sent by Heaven to save the world, and this miracle was given to Lord Throne by God

Peiping. Command of the North China Front.

"Yaga, how is it possible, how can such a huge fortress be formed overnight, Yaga, order the intelligence department to investigate this matter immediately!" The commander of the North China Front, Terauchi Shouichi, threw the information sent by the intelligence department to the ground with hatred, and yelled at Major General Naosaburo Okabe beside him.

"Hay!"

Nanking. Presidential palace.

"Niang Xipi, what's going on, how can there be such a large fortress in Datong, could it be that Yan Xishan sent someone to build it secretly, and the money for the national defense fortifications he applied to the government a few years ago was used for this? Yunong, what is your Military Command Bureau doing, and there is no news in advance about such an important matter? Chairman Jiang said angrily.

"Principal, this incident happened extremely strangely, it must not have been done by Yan Baichuan, all the funds he applied for from the government were misappropriated by him to the major merchants to make money, and they were not used for the construction of national defense fortifications at all, and our spy personnel lurking around Yan Xishan sent back the news that Yan Xishan was also angry yesterday because of this matter, and asked his intelligence department to investigate this matter thoroughly." Dai Li said in a cold sweat.

"Then what the hell do you say about this, did such a huge fortress run out of itself?" Chairman Jiang asked angrily.

"I think this matter should have something to do with that Chen Feng, if the big colleague had such a majestic fortress first, then Li Fuying, who was originally stationed in Datong, would not have left his troops and fled back to Taiyuan, and all this happened after Chen Feng took office as the commander of the 61st Army and the commander of Datong City Defense, and it was absolutely inseparable from him, in addition, Chen Feng's rise is really a bit weird, and some intelligence collected by our intelligence officers shows that this Chen Feng is far from being as simple as it seems, It is not unreasonable for the Japanese army to lose two times in a row on his hands. And these four things like fortresses definitely didn't appear suddenly, this should be Chen Feng sent people to build, our intelligence officers got accurate information, Chen Feng closed all the coal kilns outside Datong City not long ago, and sent people to take all the workers in the coal kilns away, and then these things appeared, and our intelligence officers also found that a large number of soldiers are building fortifications in the past few days, not only outside the city, but also inside the city, this thing should be made by Chen Feng himself. Dai Li explained.

"Then what kind of propaganda is he promoting from heaven is a miracle from heaven, and what good is it for him?" Chairman Jiang asked again.

"As the saying goes, kill 10,000 enemies and lose 8,000, although Chen Feng's troops have won two big battles, but they have also suffered great losses, it is already commendable to hold on to the present, he is likely to use this slightly superstitious method to inspire the soldiers under his command, unite the army's morale, and prepare for the defense of Datong, which is also a way out of the way." Dai Li continued.

"Hey, it's hard to be sorry for that kid, Yan Xishan is really a wreck, dozens of divisions can't resist the attack of less than 50,000 little devils, and he just let Chen Feng's remnants go up to be bait, it's just Niang Xipi!"

The results of all aspects of the investigation are not much different from those analyzed by Dai Li, and they all believe that the so-called miracle from heaven is just Chen Feng's own head, and it is just a method for Chen Feng to inspire soldiers.

But in fact, when Chen Feng took all the senior officers of the 61st Army to visit the entire fortress, all the officers were shocked and inexplicable, they always knew that this commander of theirs had extraordinary abilities, such as those production lines and various factory equipment on Daqing Mountain suddenly appeared in the cave almost overnight. But such a huge fortress project really surprised them, especially those like Li Wensheng and Xu Hu, who had been following Chen Feng's side.

At the same time, Li Wensheng is even more confident in defending Datong, grandma, this is a real land fortress, not to mention 100,000 little devils, even if it is 500,000 people, don't think about this fortress, this will definitely become a meat grinder for the Japanese army.

The next time was to transport a large amount of ammunition to Datong, the last time the captured Japanese army dozens of cars came in handy, three days and three nights in a row, thousands of wagons and dozens of cars, almost all the ammunition in Daqing Mountain was emptied, enough for more than 10,000 people in Datong City to use every day and night for two months.

At the same time, with the assistance of the large army, the masses in Xinghe, Shangdu, Jining and other counties also completed the transfer in a very short period of time, anyway, these counties are all small counties, and the population of each county is at most more than 100,000, and as early as when Chen Feng took over the defense of these places, he had already issued an order to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness, so the speed of transfer was not ordinarily fast.

On November 14, the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army captured Datong County outside Datong City, and on the same day, the 21st Brigade also captured Zuoyun and Youyu Counties. Then the 26th Division of the Japanese Army in Mongolia captured Zhangbei, the 4th Cavalry Brigade captured Shangdu, and the Chinese Tun Brigade entered Tianzhen, and in just a few days, the Japanese army occupied all the more than ten counties in Suinan, northern Shanxi.

But to the frustration of the Japanese army, the place was taken, but it was all empty. Not only is there no army in the city, but there are not many ordinary people in China. It's not that there are no people, it's just that there are no young men and women, and all the towns are left with old men and women who can't walk.

If it weren't for the intelligence department's repeated confirmation that all the Shina troops had withdrawn into Datong Castle and were preparing for a duel between the Japanese Imperial Army and the Datong Castle, Seishiro Itagaki and others would have really thought that the Shina army had fled.

On November 16, the Japanese Fifth Route Army finally met outside Datong City and completed the encirclement of Datong City and Chen Feng's headquarters.

Shilipu Town, Datong County. Joint Command of the Japanese Army.

The joint headquarters of the Japanese army was set up in a large manor in Shilipu Town, Datong County, which was originally the old residence of Qiao Tianyuan, a famous big landowner and businessman in Datong, not long ago I heard that there was going to be a war here, and Lao Qiao fled to Shaanxi with his wife and concubines, children and a large group of sons and daughters, so this mansion was cheaper for the Japanese army.

Qiao's living room has been transformed into a huge conference room, which is no different from the ordinary combat command room of the Japanese army, with a round conference table in the middle, neatly arranged tables, chairs and benches on both sides, and a huge map of North China hanging on the wall of the living room.

In addition to Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki on the main seat, there are also Lieutenant General Jun **, commander of the 26th Division of the Japanese Army, Major General Noboru Kunisaki, commander of the 9th Brigade, Major General Toshiji Miura, commander of the 21st Brigade, Major General Yamashita Fengfumi, commander of the Chinese Tun Brigade, Major General Seiichiro Yuhara, commander of the 15th Independent Mixed Brigade, and Major General Takamori Takamori, commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after more than four months of fighting, our Japanese Imperial Army swept through most of China, and won a decisive victory in the Battle of Songhu in the Southern Imperial Army, and now hundreds of thousands of imperial troops are attacking Nanjing, the capital of China. The Imperial Army in North China was also invincible, and Beiping, Tianjin, Hebei, and Chahar in China had been completely occupied by the Imperial Japanese Army, and most of the three provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, and Suiyuan had also been captured. Now the only branch army in the North China region has been surrounded by our army in Datong City, as long as this branch army is eliminated, then there will be no more regular army north of Taiyuan. ”

Before Seishiro Itagaki finished speaking, the conference room burst into warm applause.

"Gentlemen, which branch of the Zhina army is in Datong City, you must all know the Dao, that's right, it is the original 222nd Division of the Zhina. I just got the news that Chen Feng, the commander of this army, was promoted to lieutenant general of the 61st Army by the Second Theater of China, responsible for the defense of Datong, and now this person is in Datong City. Chen Feng, the general of China, should have heard of it compared to everyone here, and the humiliation he brought to the Imperial Japanese Army was the most profound since the Meiji Emperor, so the base camp instructed us to completely annihilate this branch of the army and capture Chen Feng alive. Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki said loudly.
