During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

Li Yunlong seemed to be referring to something.

After all, there are still regimental-level units within the New Third Regiment, such as Zhu Zi's heavy artillery regiment, which has not yet been deployed!

"This is still only a small portion?" the brigade commander asked instinctively, puzzled.

"Li Yunlong!"

"Tell me honestly, how many soldiers does the New Third Regiment actually have?" The brigade commander took a deep breath and looked at Li Yunlong with a serious expression.

"brigadier!"

"The exact number is unclear, but it's definitely over 30,000!"

Li Yunlong paused for a moment before speaking.

"How many?"

"Thirty thousand?" The brigade commander felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and stumbled, but was immediately supported by the deputy chief of staff!

“Actually, Brigade Commander, the 30,000 men of the New Third Regiment are not quite the same as the ordinary 30,000 men…” Li Yunlong said hesitantly.

In fact, when he first heard the news, he, Chu Yunfei, Lao Ding, and Lao Kong were all in the same boat!

I never expected the brigade commander to be like this!

"What do you mean?"

The brigade commander abruptly broke free from the deputy chief of staff's arm and waved his hand in a gesture of respect.

"brigadier!"

"The 30,000 troops of the New Third Regiment can be described as 30,000 elite soldiers!"

"It is a truly powerful army!"

"Their light and heavy firepower is countless, their command system is sophisticated, and their individual combat skills far surpass those of the Japanese elite!"

"But the most formidable weapon is the heavy firepower of the New Third Regiment! They probably have no fewer than three hundred artillery pieces now!"

"So we can't generalize!" Li Yunlong shook his head and said.

Of all these people, he was the one who felt it most deeply!

After all, he was the first to arrive in Qingshan Town and witnessed firsthand how Lao Xie dealt with the Osaka Division!

The current Third Regiment is more than 50% stronger than it was back then!

The supplies for an entire division!

It's all been completely digested and absorbed!

In the past two days, Yoshio Shinotsuka has sent at least a brigade to reinforce the area!

But he was beaten so badly he couldn't even get a chance to fight back!

So the New Third Regiment may seem to have 30,000 men, but in terms of actual combat power, it is far more than that! Putting aside everything else, if the New Third Regiment were to face the Jin-Sui Army, the Jin-Sui Army would have no choice but to be defeated!

"Three hundred cannons?"

The brigade commander felt as if something had struck his chest, and his breathing became rapid.

Thirty thousand people?

Does the New Third Regiment have 30,000 people?

And three hundred cannons?

You have to understand that even if Yan Xishan had all the cannons in his hands, he wouldn't have three hundred!

And who is Yan Laoxi?

Supreme Commander of the Second World War Zone, Supreme Commander of the Jin-Sui Army!

"Actually, it's the brigade commander!"

"It wasn't this exaggerated in the New Third Regiment before!"

"There are two artillery regiments!"

"That's why our strength has increased so quickly!"

"It's still because of the Osaka Division!" Li Yunlong shook his head and said.

"The Osaka Division?"

"Li Yunlong! You're not going to tell me, are you?!"

"You really wiped out an entire division of Yoshio Shinotsuka, didn't you?"

Provisional headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jin-Sui Army!

"Duanzao!"

"Are we really going to send it?" Fang Ligong stood next to Chu Yunfei, his face solemn.

"Send it!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Chu Yunfei shook his head.

"But Commander!"

"Once we send this telegram, there will be no turning back!"

“Even after the war ends, Commander, you will definitely…” Fang Ligong said with a bitter expression.

Bind the Jin-Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army together!

In the entire northwestern Shanxi province, no one except the regimental commander dared to do this!

And the purpose is very clear!

"It doesn't matter!"

"Brother Fang! You saw it too!"

"Given the current strength of the New Third Regiment, I think it's not impossible!" Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice.

In the past few days, the 358th Regiment has not participated in the battle on a large scale, including after Qingshan Town.

The purpose is to observe the new Third Regiment!

no doubt!

This new Third Regiment far exceeds anyone's expectations!

"But Commander..."

"Brother Fang!"

"Why do you think Xie Jinyuan brought the 358th Regiment!" Fang Ligong was about to speak when Chu Yunfei interrupted him.

"With the 358th Regiment?"

"Ok!"

"If it's Brother Fang!"

"Do you believe me if I say Xie Jinyuan's plan from the start wasn't to go to Taiyuan City?"

Chu Yunfei spoke thoughtfully.

"Not Taiyuan City?"

"Commander! I'm getting more and more confused!" Fang Ligong said, frowning.

"Actually, Brother Fang, it's very simple!"

"Xie Jinyuan's true target is the entire First Army!"

“It’s five field divisions under Yoshio Shinotsuka’s command!” Chu Yunfei said slowly after taking a deep breath.

Five field divisions?

Fang Ligong suddenly shouted.

"But Commander! His New Third Regiment is powerful! But it's five—no, four—field divisions!"

"That's impossible!" Fang Ligong said, frowning.

"It was indeed impossible before!"

"But as long as we hold Taiyuan City, there is a chance!"

Chu Yunfei shook his head.

The two open-text telegrams from the New Third Regiment served the same purpose as those sent by Yoshio Shinotsuka!

In ancient Chinese terms, it's a situation where neither advancing nor retreating is an option!

As long as the New Third Regiment can defend Taiyuan City!

Yoshio Shinotsuka will continuously mobilize troops!
