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

"Once the testing is complete, it's time for mass production!" Zhao Gang said, suppressing his excitement.

They were originally given seven days, but now?

It's only been five days!

"Do you, Lao Zhao, still feel sorry for the equipment of that entire regiment?" Xie Jinyuan laughed loudly.

After all, with established production lines and blueprints, everything is ready, so even if you just copy the design, you can still complete it.

However, the fact that he was able to arrive two days early is enough to demonstrate Zhang Qing's excellence as the chief engineer of the Huangdong Arsenal.

The equipment this regiment has is truly excellent.

However, it depends on who wants him. If it's someone else, or even Yan Laoxi, who spends a lot of money to poach him, they'll lose everything.

After all, there are no hard and fast requirements.

"Thank you!"

"Do you think we can complete full mechanization before the Kwantung Army launches a major offensive?" Zhao Gang ignored Xie Jinyuan's teasing and swallowed hard.

Although he did not lead troops into battle, Lao Xie had said that the New Third Front Army must complete half of its mechanization process before he would have the confidence to fight the Kwantung Army.

"impossible!"

"Even if the tests are passed and all indicators are met, the maximum production capacity for full-scale mass production is only twenty vehicles per day!"

“But the war can’t drag on that long!” Xie Jinyuan shook his head and said.

Before the great battle, at most, Chu Yunfei's troops will be the first to complete mechanization, which is the most likely outcome. Even Chu Yunfei himself may not be able to complete complete mechanization!

"What should I do?"

"Didn't you say...?" Zhao Gang's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"It doesn't matter!"

"Firstly, all parties have reached a critical point, and no one dares to be the first to open the battlefield!"

"Secondly, the battlefield is ever-changing, and seizing opportunities is often even more important!" Xie Jinyuan said, frowning.

If everything depended on weaponry, there would be no wars where the few could defeat the many or the weak could overcome the strong.

Moreover, even if the new Third Front Army has not completed 50% of the mechanization process, it may still have a chance to turn things around if it seizes the opportunity.

"Fine!"

After Xie Jinyuan finished speaking, Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly.

The new Third Front Army is now ready in every way except for the time it takes.

If the battlefield can be dragged out for ten days or half a month, the new Third Front Army will definitely undergo a qualitative change.

But that's clearly impossible in reality.

After all, according to Lao Xie, the Japanese soldiers on the entire Chinese battlefield had been utterly thrashed, and the fact that they could be held back by the fighting nation was already the limit.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"A sudden change has occurred within the Great Wall!"

Just as Zhao Gang turned to leave, Sun Chuanfu's voice suddenly rang out from outside the command room.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Gang's heart skipped a beat.

It should be noted that Sun Chuanfu controls the command and intelligence systems, but he usually just hands over messages to his communications officers instead of personally delivering them like he is doing now.

"Sun Chuanfu! What on earth happened?"

Zhao Gang swallowed subconsciously.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"A major incident has occurred inside the pass!"

"We've figured out the movements of those Japanese devils in the Central Plains Theater; they're heading north!" Sun Chuanfu said with a grave expression.

"Heading north?"

"Yes! Commissar Zhao!"

"And that's not all. We've received information that the order from the mountain city is for the Second World War Zone to intercept these Japanese devils who are heading north to cause trouble!" Sun Chuanfu took a deep breath and quickly said.

"What did you say?"

"The Second World War Zone?" Zhao Gang shouted out in disbelief.

"Correct!"

1.5 "Currently, the Central Plains Theater has gathered 120,000 troops and is heading north, and Commander Yan of the Second Theater has probably also received the news!"

“As for the war…” Sun Chuanfu hesitated before speaking.

"Old Xie! Look at this..."

"I underestimated the chairman!"

Xie Jinyuan took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.

He wasn't puzzled by the movement of the Japanese troops in the Central Plains War Zone, but rather by the man in the mountain city.

Now that things have progressed to this point, it is quite clear that the troop movements in the Central Plains Theater were not done arbitrarily.

Instead, the decision was made very early on.

This decision naturally means abandoning the entire World War II zone, or to put it more bluntly, the World War II zone will become a pawn to be sacrificed in this major game of power.

"Bullshit!"

"Let me be the one in front!"

"Aren't soldiers in the Second War Zone soldiers?"

Inside the Supreme Command of the Jin-Sui Army in the Second World War Zone, Yan Laoxi suddenly swept everything off the table.

The anger on his face almost solidified.

Did the Second World War Zone deploy all its troops to resist the northward advance of the Central Plains Theater Allied Forces?

Anyone with eyes to see clearly is that the troop movement in the Central Plains Theater was the fault of the commander of the mountain city committee. By transferring Bai Congxi's troops away from the Central Plains Theater, the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops originally in the Central Plains Theater would definitely move north.

After all, while many people in China might not be aware of the troop movements in the mountain city, the Japanese knew everything about it.

This group of hastily assembled Japanese soldiers had only one purpose: to cooperate with the Kwantung Army, which was about to march south, to completely destroy the three lines of defense built by Chongqing with the combined strength of all of China.

"Commander!"

“That’s true! But…” Yan Laoxi’s deputy said with an unpleasant expression.

If the Second World War Zone disobeys orders at this time, it will inevitably lead to very serious consequences.

The first point is that passive resistance is unavoidable.

The second point is national righteousness. If the Second World War Zone refuses to send troops, it will not be able to stand firm even in northwestern Shanxi.

The third point is the post-battle reckoning. The meaning conveyed by the telegram from Yamashiro was already quite clear: even if the entire Second World War zone was wiped out, the flames of war could not be brought into the three lines of defense.

After all, those three lines of defense were the main force for the entire Chinese resistance against the Kwantung Army.

"Commander!"

"According to reports from the forward observation posts, the advance troops of the Central Plains 17th War Zone Allied Forces are about to arrive at our southeast defense zone!" After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but continue.

"Son of a bitch!"

"I've never suffered such an injustice in my life!" Old Yan said, his eyes bloodshot.

Based on the Japanese marching route we have obtained, their first step will inevitably be to capture Taiyuan, and then use Taiyuan as a key rear base to threaten the security of Taipei and Tianjin.

The strategic objective is quite clear.

But he had no choice!

The Japanese troops, numbering over 100,000, were even more formidable than Yoshio Shinotsuka's forces.

"Commander!"

"If we rely on Taiyuan, we might be able to fight!"

“But what about Commander Li…” the deputy shook his head.

"Even with the Taiyuan, it's impossible!"

Yan Laoxi said expressionlessly.

Do they want to replicate the miracle created by the New Third Regiment in Taiyuan?

That's impossible. The reason why the New Third Regiment was able to hold Taiyuan and completely contain Yoshio Shinotsuka's 150,000-strong army was that...

It's not just a matter of timing, it's about strength!
