It is no wonder that Yan Laoxi is so emotional, the performance of the Chinese army since the start of the war is really blushing, although many heroes of the Anti-Japanese War have emerged, such as Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division. But on the whole, the performance of the Chinese army can only be described as unsatisfactory, not to mention the total annihilation of the Japanese infantry wing, not even a complete infantry squadron.

In addition, Yan Xishan had another layer of luck in his heart, originally this old man planned to rely on his relationship with Seishiro Itagaki and others who had studied in Japan and were classmates, hoping to protect his territory in Shanxi Province and be able to finish the eggs under the nest.

It's a pity that the Japanese don't sell Yan Laoxi's face, nearly 100,000 Japanese puppet troops gathered in Tianzhen, and attacked the gate of northern Shanxi, and at the same time, his old classmate Itagaki Seishiro's Fifth Division went south to take Wei County, and then went down to Guangling and Lingqiu, which could attack the hinterland of Shanxi at any time.

Although the Jin Sui army had more than 200,000 people, they were all scattered in other parts of the two provinces, and they could be gathered for a while, not to mention that the Jin Sui army obviously did not have an advantage in terms of military strength. Speaking of combat effectiveness, the Jin Sui Army was even worse than the Central Army of the Nationalist Government, and it was even worse than the Japanese army. Seeing that Tianzhen is about to be lost, it will be difficult to protect Datong if Tianzhen is lost. If Datong is lost, then the Japanese army can attack to the south and north, the south can attack Liao County, Dai County, and then go straight to Taiyuan, the north can go out of Feng Town, Pingdiquan, Jining, and then go straight to Sui Baotou, and the most can capture the entire territory of Mongolia and Xinjiang, and even threaten the five western provinces.

Not to mention, once Tianzhen Datong fails, the national government will not have an easy time. A few years ago, Yan Xishan asked the Nationalist Government for a large amount of money in the name of building national defense fortifications, the most important of which was the fortifications from Tianzhen to Datong. It's a pity that all the money was sent by him to the sons of major merchants, and it was not used to build national defense fortifications at all.

So he had prepared for the worst, once Tianzhen and Datong were lost, then he would take the commander of the 61st Army, Li Fuying, to the top post.

Although this is a bit unauthentic, Li Fuying has a credit to himself and the entire Jin Sui Army, and is known as the head of the thirteen Taibao of Yan Xishan, even Fu Zuoyi and others have to respectfully shout big brother when they see him, in addition, many senior officers in the Jin Sui Army are recruited by Li Fuying for him, if Li Fuying is killed, it will definitely cause many people to chill.

But Lao Jiang can't help but give an explanation, if he casually catches a few generals to take the blame, Lao Jiang will definitely not do it, and in desperation, he Yan Laoxi can only make this decision.

Fortunately, Chen Feng's security regiment was pleasantly surprised, and the successive combination punches directly beat the Japanese army to dizziness, not to mention the heavy losses, and the cowhides were punctured one by one, which made Yan Xishan have a strong interest in Chen Feng, a little-known little person, and the bull fork security group he led.

Overnight, the headquarters of the Second World War Zone issued instructions to send elite intelligence officers to investigate the reasons for the sudden retreat of the Japanese army, and at the same time verify the results of the security regiment. In addition, the establishment of the 7th Independent Brigade was directly upgraded to a reinforced brigade, and the brigade had two infantry regiments plus a cavalry regiment and a reinforced battalion, and the required weapons and equipment were directly transferred by the headquarters of the Second World War Zone Commander. In addition, eight recruit companies were transferred to supplement the Seventh Brigade of the Du, and countless materials such as oceans and military uniforms were numerous, and at the same time, Chen Feng, a fiery anti-Japanese hero, and the Xinghe County Security Regiment, a heroic unit, were vigorously publicized in Jinsui and Sui Provinces.

Everyone can see that this is Yan Laoxi's example, he wants to make it clear to everyone in the Jin Sui military system that I, Yan Xishan, am not a person who picks the door, as long as you can fight a war and win a big battle, then it is needless to say that you will be promoted and make a fortune, and there is no problem in upgrading and expanding the army.

On September 12, the Commander's Department of the Second War Zone and the Nanjing Military and Political Department successively received a secret report from the intelligence department that the reason why the Japanese troops in the direction of Tianzhen retreated was because the commander of the first brigade of the Japanese Chahar Dispatch Corps, Sakai Hoji, and the main force of the brigade, the Honda Wing, were killed and annihilated by the Xinghe County Security Regiment of the Jinsui Army in two days, and more than half of the artillery and all the ammunition and oil of the Dispatch Corps were destroyed. More importantly, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, the commander of the Chahar Corps, was so angry that he fell unconscious, and the morale of the troops was low, so he had to withdraw his troops as a last resort.

After receiving the report from the intelligence department, Nanjing and Taiyuan were all kinds of surprises and disbelief, but these pieces of information were all desperately collected by the intelligence department of the Military Command Bureau and the Jin Sui Army, and it happened that the security regiment sent more than ten Japanese prisoners of war and the command knife engraved with the name of Shinichi Honda to the headquarters of the Second War Zone Governor, and the human and material evidence were there, so everyone had to obediently shut up and admit the achievements of the security regiment.

This time, without waiting for Yan Laoxi to react, Nanjing made the first move, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government parachuted into Xinghe with a letter of appointment, and the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Jinsui Army was immediately upgraded to the 222nd Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Chen Feng was promoted to major general and division commander, and the 222nd Division was still subordinate to the second theater of operations.

At the same time, Nanjing gave the 222nd Division 100,000 yuan in military funds, 3,000 new rifles and 20 light and heavy machine guns, and transferred 20 cadets from the 10th Infantry Section of the Central Military Academy to serve in the 222nd Division.

Nanjing's actions were indeed fast, and it was regarded as a bloody investment, and this was the upgrading and expansion of the troops, and it was also given money and guns, which really made many people envious. The 23-year-old major general division commander, although only a type B division, is already a miracle in China.

Chen Feng is cool, but Yan Laoxi is not happy here, Lao Jiang is here to pick peaches, seeing the repeated achievements of the security group, Lao Jiang is going to label Chen Feng and this security regiment as the Central Army, digging the foot of the wall directly dug into his name Yan Laoxi, uncle can bear it and aunt can't bear it.

But Yan Laoxi has no way to take Lao Jiang, who makes the family now the boss of China, and the order given by the veteran is a holy decree. Besides, people are now rewarding meritorious people, and the one who can talk nonsense, even if he Yan Laoxi can only shut up obediently.

But you have your Zhang Liang, I have my ladder to cross the wall, this old man's movements are not slow, and soon the Seventh Group Army sent a telegram, and Fu Zuoyi, the chairman of Suiyuan Province and the commander of the Seventh Group Army, will marry Yan Changxi, the daughter of Yan Xishan, chairman of Shanxi Province and commander of the Second War Zone, to Chen Feng as his wife.

Of course, this Yan Changxi is not Yan Laoxi's biological daughter, but her birth is not bad, she is the baby daughter of Yan Laoxi's third brother Yan Xiqi, and Yan Laoxi's niece.

In this way, Lao Jiang's plan to mix sand and label it is a complete miscarriage, and now Chen Feng is a member of the old Yan family, and others don't want to get involved.

And Chen Feng himself can't say what he is suffering, not to mention that there are already two women in the family, and there is another cousin he has never met, and now there is another Yan Changxi, his whole head is about to explode. Besides, once he marries Yan Xishan's niece, he doesn't have to say anything, he is already a member of the Yan family in the eyes of everyone, which has a negative impact on Chen Feng's plans.

But now he can't twist his thighs with his small arms, he is a hegemon and a big warlord, he can barely be regarded as a small shrimp, unless he wants to be a traitor, Yan Xishan must face this level in a short period of time, Chen Feng is called a tangle in his heart.
