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

"Yoshio Shinotsuka's tank regiment has been defeated!"

"Less than half of the tanks in the entire regiment were left, and they fled in panic!"

"If it weren't for Yoshio Shinotsuka's quick reaction, they would probably have all been wiped out!" Director Dai said, taking a deep breath.

Even when he first received the order from the Chairman, he didn't take the "February 27th Incident" seriously at all!

After all, even if they launched a surprise attack on Taiyuan City, it wasn't enough for him to take it too seriously!

It's just a regimental-level unit!

But after continuous investigation, he was completely shocked.

First, let's talk about the origins of this new Third Regiment. They were originally bandits!

They can be completely powerless!

Moreover, he had only been a member of the Eighth Route Army for a month and a half!

But just after Yoshio Shinotsuka began his sweeping operation, this new Third Regiment first appeared on the Elm Ridge battlefield to fight against the Yamazaki Battalion!

The Yamazaki Battalion was completely annihilated with a force of 400 men!

Moreover, the investigation revealed that the new Third Regiment deployed nearly thirty grenade launchers during the Yushuling incident!

Then the large-scale sweep began, and we faced a grim situation!

Almost all the armed forces in northwestern Shanxi were committed to the battlefield, but the New Third Regiment suddenly appeared in Taiyuan City!

A telegram!

Not only did it force Yoshio Shinotsuka back to Taigen!

And they achieved excellent results!

After all, it was a tank regiment, and now it has been almost completely wiped out!

"So Taiyuan has held its ground now?" the committee leader said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Chairman!"

"Moreover, judging from the time the telegram was sent, this new Third Regiment has been guarding Taiyuan for four and a half days!" Director Dai said, taking a deep breath.

You should know that Taiyuan is no longer just a county town!

It is the Taiyuan of Yoshio Shinotsuka's hundreds of thousands of elite field troops!

Let alone a regimental-level unit!

Even the mountain city army might not be able to hold out in Taiyuan for more than two days!

"Incredible!"

After pondering for a moment, the chairman frowned and shook his head.

A regimental-level unit!

The Osaka Division was annihilated!

They even created a tank battalion?

Is this really a group?

"Committee!"

"However, judging from various sources..."

"This new Third Regiment is very likely to have a large number of troops!"

"In other words! He's not even a regimental-level unit!" Director Dai said, seemingly noticing the chairman's confusion.

"Not a regimental-level unit?"

"Correct!"

"After all, multiple forces have emerged in Taiyuan now! There are the Eighth Route Army and the Jin-Sui Army!"

"But judging from the battlefield, the total number of troops definitely exceeds that of two divisions!"

"That means this new Third Regiment has at least the strength of a division!" Director Dai said in a deep voice.

After Director Dai finished speaking, the chairman frowned for a moment and then nodded.

If it really is a regimental-level unit, this is highly illogical!

That's also unlikely!

Moreover, the chief of staff had a vague feeling that there might be more than one division!

After all, the Osaka Division was gone just like that!

And there's also an armored battalion!

This kind of organization at least shows that the main force of the New Third Regiment is definitely not small, otherwise such additional organization would have been developed!

"Committee!"

"Actually, there's one more crucial thing right now!" Director Dai paused, then hesitated before continuing.

"speak!"

"Committee!"

"After two telegrams in plain text from the New Third Regiment!"

"The situation in the entire Shanxi-Northwest region is no longer under control!"

"The crowd is in a frenzy!"

Director Dai then quickly recounted the events in northwestern Shanxi.

"That is indeed a problem!"

"What are they doing in the Second World War zone right now?" the committee leader asked, frowning.

"Committee!"

"Commander Yan hasn't made any move!"

Director Dai shook his head.

"Baichuan is still a bit hesitant!" the committee leader said, seemingly implying something.

"Committee!"

"Shinotsuka Yoshio is about to assemble his forces, and he will probably launch a full-scale attack within half a day at the latest!"

"Do we really have to..." Director Dai paused before speaking.

"If this battle is successful, it will not only dampen the arrogance of the Japanese, but also give a strong boost to the entire Chinese armed forces!"

"It also plays a significant role in securing international aid!" the Chairman said solemnly.

"Then, Chairman! What do you mean?"

"Draft a commendation telegram immediately!"

After a moment of contemplation, the committee chairman spoke.

"A commendation telegram?"

"Chairman! What's going on here?"

Director Dai, who was standing to the side, was suddenly stunned. Wasn't the Jin-Northwest region, or rather Taiyuan, in need of reinforcements more right now?

After all, Yoshio Shinotsuka's hundreds of thousands of elite field troops were about to be assembled!

"It's not the right time yet!"

"Go!"

Then the committee leader waved his hand and said...

His deep eyes clearly indicated that he was plotting something.

……

Command Center of the New Third Regiment!

"Captain!"

"Big news!"

At this moment, only two people remained in the command post. Xie Jinyuan was facing the map of northwestern Shanxi on the wall!

And standing next to him was a monk!

Zhao Gang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
