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

"Brigade Commander! What's going on?" Xie Jinyuan looked completely bewildered!

"Thank you, Jinyuan!"

"In the end, the disparity in troop strength was simply too great in this battle!"

"The New Third Regiment's strength is far from sufficient!"

"Although the 386th Brigade, apart from your New Third Regiment, only has a fraction of its original strength left!"

"But that's all I could do!"

"Thank you, Jinyuan!"

"Don't blame me!" the brigade commander sighed.

"brigadier!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke subconsciously.

Just as I was about to speak, the brigade commander waved me off.

"Li Yunlong!"

"exist!"

"Ding Wei!"

"exist!"

"Blind Cheng!"

"exist……"

"..."

"From this moment forward, all units of the 386th Brigade shall obey Xie Jinyuan's orders!"

"Disobeying orders will be punished according to military law!"

"Did you all hear me clearly?" the brigade commander suddenly shouted.

"Yes, Commander!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Yes, Commander!"

A group of regimental-level officers spoke up one after another.

"Ok!"

After nodding, the brigade commander glanced at Xie Jinyuan again and slowly walked out of the command room.

It looks rather long and narrow under the sunlight!

Lonely yet exceptionally upright!

……

Headquarters in Daya Bay!

"What did you say?"

"Armored forces?"

"The First Army?"

Upon hearing the deputy chief of staff's words, the general suddenly stood up and said.

"Correct!"

"Boss! We just received a message!"

"And judging from their movements, they're probably heading towards Taiyuan!"

The deputy chief of staff shook his head, his face grave.

"What about the quantity?"

"Sir! We need at least one tank regiment!"

"A tank regiment?"

"Has Yoshio Shinotsuka gone mad?"

The boss stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

A tank regiment?

"Boss! There's no other way!"

"That telegram from the New Third Regiment!"

"And Chu Yunfei's telegram!"

"Taiyuan City cannot afford to wait any longer!"

The deputy chief of staff spoke slowly.

These two telegrams directly brought the two sides to the brink of war!

I have to say, Xie Jinyuan's move was very satisfying!

But the reality is...

"What is the current situation in Taiyuan City?"

The boss quickly spoke up.

"Boss! It appears that fighting has broken out in multiple locations in Taiyuan City!"

"But Yoshio Shinotsuka has been unable to break through Taiyuan City's defensive positions!"

"That should be the main reason for deploying armored forces!" the deputy chief of staff explained.

The battle did not take place within Taiyuan City!

It's the area surrounding Taiyuan!

Xie Jinyuan is a smart guy; he has to be said to have left enough strategic buffer!

But the downside is that!

It would be dangerous if we encountered such a weapon of mass destruction, or even armored forces!

After all, tanks were developed specifically for positional warfare!

Sufficiently thick armor is impervious to most attacks unless subjected to concentrated bombardment!

"Ok!"

The boss frowned and nodded.

However, he did feel a little surprised, after all, Taiyuan City really held out for a day. Not only that, but it also forced Yoshio Shinotsuka to deploy armored forces.

"Boss! Do you really mean it..." The deputy chief of staff paused, then hesitated before continuing.

"No way!"

"Compare this to a new Third Regiment! Hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Second World War Zone!" The commander shook his head and said.

Xie Jinyuan did save him, he saved the Eighth Route Army, and even rescued the entire Shanxi-Northwest region from the quagmire of war!

But now, even if he wanted to, he was powerless!

Regardless of the orders from the Second War Zone Command, once they launch a full-scale attack on the provincial capital!

It's like walking right into the mouths of Yoshio Shinotsuka's hundreds of thousands of field troops!

Most importantly, the moment he moves!

No one in the Second World War zone can escape!

This involves hundreds of thousands of armed troops in northwestern Shanxi, and even more tens of millions of civilians in northwestern Shanxi!

He can't afford it!

"Ugh!"

After the boss finished speaking, the deputy chief of staff shook his head helplessly.

It does!

Even though the 386th Brigade is now confirmed to be based in Taiyuan, the headquarters still cannot be moved!

After all, a change at headquarters is a completely different matter!

It involves too many aspects!

I'm just getting ready to leave!

"Report! Boss!"

"Official statement from the Japanese!"

The messenger's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door, and then a messenger quickly walked to the boss's side and stood at attention.

"Official statement?"
