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

The area in front of Fengtian City was already packed with people.

It's roughly the size of two regiments!

However, their clothing and weaponry were quite different. While the Eighth Route Army's equipment was poor, it was still simple. But these people were anything but simple; their clothes were all tattered and ragged.

The weapons and equipment they had were a motley collection, including Japanese rifles, but mostly old-fashioned rifles. At first glance, the entire unit did not have any heavy firepower!

The only heavy weapon should be the large-caliber mountain gun in the middle of the formation!

However, judging from their imposing presence, they do resemble a regular army!

Is this really the Northeast Army?

Or did Lao Xie guess wrong?

“Old Xie! Look at this…” Zhao Gang couldn’t help but look at Xie Jinyuan and say.

But he only got halfway through his sentence!

The monk reappeared, followed by a burly man of similar height!

"This must be Commander Xie, right?"

As the burly man approached, he saw Xie Jinyuan standing in the middle and spoke with gleam in his eyes.

"Ok!"

"Who are you?" Xie Jinyuan looked him up and down and asked.

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Han Zheng, former commander of the 35th Division of the Northeast Army!" The nearly 1.9-meter-tall man suddenly straightened his back and saluted.

My hands were trembling slightly.

……

"Commander Han!"

"I never imagined that the living conditions in the three northeastern provinces were far worse than we thought!" In front of Fengtian City, three figures gradually grew longer under the sunlight.

A powerful voice kept speaking, and Zhao Gang couldn't help but shake his head.

My eyes were filled with helplessness.

Compared to the current Northeast Army, let alone the New Third Army, even the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi had a much better living environment.

With the three northeastern provinces now essentially completely isolated, there is absolutely no supply of materials or military provisions!

There was also the constant encirclement and suppression by the Kwantung Army.

Most importantly, at this time the Northeast Army could be said to have completely become a guerrilla force!

After all, when a large number of elite troops entered the pass, those who remained on this black soil had long been prepared.

It was alright during the Anti-Japanese United Army period, but it was ultimately just a flash in the pan.

After all, war is essentially a huge money-burning machine.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"To be honest, I'm truly ashamed!"

"The entire three northeastern provinces are getting worse year by year!"

"Brothers, they've even given up hope!"

"But as men, we can't even protect our own homes!" Han Zheng said, his eyes red.

"Commander Han!"

"You've managed to hold on until now! You're true soldiers!"

"I, Xie Jinyuan, also have to say a few words from the bottom of my heart!"

"But as Commander Han said, things are getting worse year by year. After all, war is a process of ebb and flow!"

"At the same time, you're attacking weapons and equipment, and military supplies! You've done your best, and I'm sure the people of the three northeastern provinces won't blame you!" Xie Jinyuan couldn't help but shake his head and say.

It's hard to determine who the Northeast Army troops who entered the pass were, since a soldier's duty is to obey orders. But what about those who remained in the three northeastern provinces?

That's admirable; firstly, they truly love this land.

Secondly, they persevered in such harsh conditions, which is something most people could never do.

"Oh, right! Commander Han!"

"How did you get to Fengtian City?" Zhao Gang suddenly realized and asked.

It should be noted that the attack on Fengtian was a surprise attack, and it did not take long to capture Fengtian. As for the telegram that was sent, it was not long ago. According to their calculations, it would take at least three days for it to cause a stir in the three northeastern provinces.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"Actually, we know quite a bit about not only the three northeastern provinces, but also news from within the Great Wall!" Han Zheng chuckled and said.

"Han Zheng! You're not going to tell me you also have an intelligence agency, are you?" Xie Jinyuan looked him up and down and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Commander!"

"It's not exactly an intelligence agency, but it's pretty close!"

"Otherwise, we would probably have been completely annihilated by the Japanese long ago!" Han Zheng said, rubbing his nose.

“That’s true!” Xie Jinyuan nodded.

Given the harsh environment in the three northeastern provinces, it would have been impossible to survive without intelligence support!

However, according to Han Zheng, he also knew a lot about things inside the Great Wall, especially the news about the New Third Army, which was quite shocking!

After all, they did send telegrams in plain text during the New Third Regiment period!

But now the entire Kwantung Army probably doesn't have that thing anymore!

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Since Fengtian is safe now, it's time for the brothers to retreat!"

“But this time we really are…” Han Zheng shook his head helplessly.

In fact, he had already received the news when the New Third Army attacked Fengtian, so he led several nearby troops to prepare to provide reinforcements!

After all, he knew very well that the Japanese had left an entire division of troops in the entire Fengtian area.

But I didn’t expect it!

The war ended before they even reached Fengtian City?

Moreover, he just learned through inquiry that not only Fengtian City, but the entire Fengtian region had been captured.

It has to be said that this level of combat power is simply unbelievable.

Furthermore, soldiers ahead have reported that armored units have been discovered within the New Third Army's camp!

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating!

"Commander Han is very thoughtful!"

"The entire New Third Army is deeply grateful for your presence!" Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice.

The fact that they brought their only heavy artillery speaks volumes about their purpose.

"Thank you, Commander!"

"It is I who should be thanking Commander Xie on behalf of my brothers!"

"We should be even more grateful to Commander Xie on behalf of the tens of millions of people in the three northeastern provinces!"

"Fengtian region!"

273 "And the Fengtian Arsenal!"

"Commander Xie! Before Commander Feng retired, he dreamed of recapturing the Fengtian Arsenal!"

"After all, this is the biggest legacy left by the old marshal!"

"It is also the lifelong goal of the many brothers who still stand firm on this land of the three northeastern provinces!"

Han Zheng choked up, his eyes bloodshot.

He then suddenly took a step back, preparing to kneel down.

But just as he was kneeling halfway down, his entire body was clamped down and he couldn't move.

When he subconsciously looked up, he saw that Commander Xie had arrived in front of him at some point, gripping his shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Commander Han!"

"Restoring China is my lifelong ambition. Your arrival shows that in the three northeastern provinces, it is not just the New Third Army fighting alone!"

"But Commander Han! The Northeast Army is currently in such a disorganized state!"

"It's completely useless!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke expressionlessly.

"Commander Xie! You mean...?" Han Zheng was stunned. Commander Xie's tone had suddenly changed, and there was definitely something else behind his words.

"Join the new Third Army!"
