"Form a new united front!"

"Retrace Commander Feng's Old Route of the Anti-Japanese United Army!"

"Let's reclaim the three northeastern provinces that belong to our China from those damned Japanese devils!"

Xie Jinyuan stared intently at Han Zheng and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Chapter 139 Rebuilding the Army, Navy, and Air Force? [Please subscribe automatically!]

"Join the new Third Army?"

"Commander Xie! You're not joking, are you?" Han Zheng swallowed subconsciously.

You should know that the man in front of you is the commander of the New Third Army who fought in the Battle of Taiyuan. And through intelligence, he knows that during the Battle of Taiyuan, the so-called New Third Army was actually the New Third Regiment.

A true regimental-level organization!

Not only did it severely damage Yoshio Shinotsuka's armored forces, it also wiped out Yoshio Shinotsuka's heavy artillery forces in one fell swoop!

The great victory achieved in the Battle of Taiyuan was entirely due to the crucial role played by the New Third Army!

A surprise attack on Taiyuan!

Two telegrams in plain text forced Yoshio Shinotsuka to return!

and many more!

All of this news is truly shocking!

The new Third Army now numbers over 60,000, and its weaponry and combat capabilities span the entirety of China.

but now?

Join the new Third Army?

"Commander Han!"

"I'll say it again! Taking back the three northeastern provinces is definitely not something a single new army can accomplish!"

"And driving the entire Japanese devils out of China is not something the new Third Army can accomplish!"

"You should understand the principle that one person's skill is limited, but two people's skill is superior better than mine!" Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice.

The Northeast Army today can be described as a rough gem waiting to be unearthed. If the Northeast Army used to be outwardly sharp, it is now completely inwardly restrained. But its edge is not dulled; it is just hidden, waiting for the moment to be revealed!

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Northeast Army is now completely disorganized. After Commander Feng retreated to the north, there was no leader, and it was only relying on its spirit to keep going.

"Thank you, Commander!"

"That's the logic!"

"But to be honest, you've already seen the current state of the 35th Division!"

"We are out of weaponry and equipment, and we have absolutely no military supplies!"

"Although it's not the entire force of the 35th Division in Fengtian City, it still numbers five thousand!"

"This is a tremendous pressure for any unit!"

Han Zheng spoke with a bitter expression.

What Commander Xie said made sense, but he was unwilling to become a drag on the entire new Third Army.

After all, although the 35th Division has dwindled to less than 5,000 men over the years, that's still a significant number for any unit...

"Han Zheng! If you're worried about these two issues!"

"Then I can only tell you the truth!"

"Throughout the entire New Third Army, there are only two things we don't lack!"

"Moreover, the brothers of the 35th Division will not be treated differently when they join the new Third Army!"

As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools!"

"Without the right tools, I, Xie Jinyuan, wouldn't dare make such a boast!" Xie Jinyuan said slowly.

"In that case!"

"Thank you, Commander! I, Han Zheng, will follow you!"

"Even if the 35th Division dies, it will only die on the way to the charge!" Han Zheng gritted his teeth and said, as if he had made up his mind.

Take back Fengtian and destroy the Fengtian Arsenal!

The New Third Army was already a great benefactor to the brothers of the entire Northeast Army!

What does it matter if I die?

"Ha ha!"

"It's not that serious!"

“Meijin can’t do anything to me in the short term!” Xie Jinyuan said with a smile.

"But Han Zheng!"

“I don’t think your 35th Division alone is enough!” After a pause, Xie Jinyuan looked at Han Zhengdao.

"Commander Xie! You mean..."

"Han Zheng! After the elite troops of the Northeast Army entered the pass, it seems that the original Northeast Army's air force and navy did not follow them into the pass, right?" Xie Jinyuan frowned.

"Yes!"

"Although the Northeast Army was once known as the first combat force in all of China with a complete army, navy, and air force, its strongest force was still the army!"

"As for the air force and navy, although they are quite strong, the gap is still very large!"

"And they weren't taken with them when they entered the country!"

"Most of them were disheartened and retired to civilian life, while some were reorganized into the army!"

"For example, I know many of my naval brothers have been reorganized into the army!" Han Zheng said after a moment of contemplation.

But even though many people survived on the Kwantung battlefield, so many years have passed, and they are probably all...

"Reorganized into the army?"

"What about the Air Force?" Xie Jinyuan suddenly asked, his breathing quickening.

"The Air Force is about the same! As far as I know, Lao Shen has some former Air Force units under his command!"

"But Commander Xie! What are you going to do?"

Han Zheng swallowed subconsciously.

A particularly terrifying thought even flashed through his mind: Could it be that Commander Xie is going to...?

"Han Zheng!"

"If we were to gather all the armed forces of the three northeastern provinces, that is, the former Northeast Army!"

"How confident are you now?" Xie Jinyuan suddenly asked with a serious expression.

"Including the former Air Force and Navy?"

"."Um!"

"Commander Xie! You're really not joking, are you?"

Han Zheng was slightly stunned. The armed forces of the three northeastern provinces generally referred to the former Northeast Army!

But this force numbers at least 60,000!

After all, the elite troops that entered the pass back then numbered only over 200,000, while the entire Northeast Army's regular army numbered nearly 400,000!

Many have died in battle over the years, and many have also retired to their hometowns!

But 60,000 is definitely the minimum amount!

What Commander Xie wants now is to reorganize the entire remnant of the Northeast Army?

But the New Third Army only has around 60,000 troops, right?

"Ha ha!"

"Han Zheng!"

"Let me tell you the truth!"

"The new three services will not stop at the army! There will also be an air force and a navy!"

"Weapons and equipment are not a problem either!"

"If we're going to fight, let's make it big!"

"Small-scale scrambling is meaningless!"

"What do you think?" Xie Jinyuan said calmly.
