The entire World War II zone was completely scattered, and guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare were used to delay the Japanese advance. This strategy and tactic could only be used under two conditions: first, when there was a large difference in troop strength between the enemy and ourselves; second, when guerrilla warfare and harassment warfare could cut off the battlefield over a large area, thereby carrying out annihilation strikes.

Secondly, the enemy's forces are too dispersed to effectively achieve a sweeping advance.

Clearly, neither of these two points has been achieved.

Judging from the current situation, if the elite troops of the entire Second World War zone are gathered near Taiyuan, relying on Taiyuan, they can hold out for a little longer.

After everything was scattered, it created an opportunity for them to take advantage of the situation.

"really!"

Zhao Gang nodded solemnly.

Even if the Second World War zone could hold out for another ten days or half a month, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the overall situation. Taiyuan's location is too important. Just as Lao Xie said, taking Taiyuan would be equivalent to planting a time bomb within the three lines of defense of the mountain city.

"besides!"

"That old devil Umezu is very quick!"

After a pause, Xie Jinyuan spoke again.

"What do you mean?"

"Clearly, we all underestimated Umezu!"

"Although we were in the Kanto region, the overall strategic direction began the moment we captured Fengtian, or rather, after that erroneous troop movement in the mountain city!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head.

If you say that Meijin didn't know the New Third Front Army belonged to the Eighth Route Army, I would never believe it even if you beat me to death.

Now, this has presented him with a difficult problem.

After all, according to the original plan, relying on the defense facilities in Fengtian, even if they couldn't win, there wouldn't be any problem in establishing a foothold in Fengtian.

They were even prepared to engage in a protracted war with the Kwantung Army in the Fengtian area.

With the Chinese battlefield ahead and the Japanese eager to enter the pass, they were able to find opportunities to fight on the battlefield.

But now it seems that the situation in northwestern Shanxi has become a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the new Third Front Army.

"Thank you!"

"Then what should we do now?"

After a pause, Zhao Gang said, his face pale.

The new Third Front Army had reached its most difficult moment, at which point all the efforts made before entering the pass were rendered useless.

The Second World War zone clearly wouldn't last much longer.

Moreover, the entire Eighth Route Army camp is currently embroiled in battle. If the mountain city sends troops, all will be well; if it doesn't, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Another possibility is that Yamashiro's original plan was to sacrifice the World War II zone?

"there is always a solution to a problem!"

"That guy from the mountain city has a very good plan!"

"But to be honest, it might not be a bad thing for us!"

After a pause, Xie Jinyuan spoke thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?"

"Old Zhao!"

"Even if the entire New Third Army were to enter the pass now, what do you think the attitude of Chongqing would be?" Xie Jinyuan asked, seemingly implying something.

"What attitude?"

"Old Xie! I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" After pondering for a moment, Zhao Gang shook his head and said.

The three lines of defense were less about resisting the Kwantung Army and more about the Kwantung Army and the New Third Area Army.

After all, after the New Third Army marched north, Shancheng secretly mobilized Du Yuming and others to march north.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

"That would be incredible!"

"Wait! Old Xie! The more you talk, the more confused I get!" Zhao Gang interrupted him, waving his hand.

"Ha ha!"

"In other words, that guy in Yamashiro has a very clever plan!"

"But Yan Laoxi's side is now at the tipping point of explosion!"

"If I go through the pass to rescue them, the mountain city won't let me through!"

"What do you think Yan Laoxi will think?"

Xie Jinyuan spoke in a deep voice.

Yan Xishan was no coward, nor was he a muddle-headed person. The reason why the Second War Zone was fully committed to the battle and willing to be used as a pawn was because, firstly, the Japanese were going to attack Taiyuan.

Yan Laoxi has a very deep connection with Taiyuan, and he will not give up Taiyuan unless absolutely necessary.

Secondly, the command structure of the mountain city was based on the interests of 400 million Chinese people, and Yan Xishan had no choice but to obey.

However, if the new Third Front Army enters the pass, it will also be standing on the highest position.

The man from the mountain city had no reason to refuse.

Of course, he would prefer to fight to the death, which would be tantamount to pushing the entire Second World War zone and the entire Jin-Sui Army to the side of the New Third Front Army.

It should be noted that although the Jin-Sui clique was not large, with its main force numbering only a few hundred thousand, and including the entire Second World War zone, it had no more than 1.5, Yan Xishan was still one of the most prominent figures in China, with numerous protégés.

Even Xue Yue came from the Jin-Sui clique.

His words carry considerable weight in China.

Therefore, this is a good thing for the new Third Front Army. It is a great thing that allows them to enter the pass in a just, aboveboard and rightful manner!

"This..." After Xie Jinyuan finished speaking, Zhao Gang frowned deeply.

It seemed like I understood some of it, but not all of it.

"okay!"

"Old Zhao!"

"Pass on my order: all division-level and above commanders, assemble at the Marine Corps headquarters in ten minutes!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke quickly.

Clearly, this sudden change is a tremendous opportunity for the entire New Third Front Army.

However, how to seize the opportunity, or even how to use it to break the deadlock in the three northeastern provinces quickly, are all issues that require further study.

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang spoke at the same time.

Chapter 153 The Second Army Group Enters the Pass! Chu Yunfei's Military Order! [Please Subscribe Automatically!]

The Marine Corps of the New Third Army in Fengtian City.

The Marine Corps headquarters was already overcrowded, but it was 80% less than the last time.

Leading the pack were army group commanders such as Yang Liansheng, Li Yunlong, and Zhou Weiguo.

The following are key personnel from each army group.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, everyone stood up and called out loudly.

Over the course of a few days, everyone made a fortune, especially Li Yunlong and his men, whose forces doubled!

The total strength of the new Third Front Army now exceeds 150,000.

For example, the First Army Group had a strength of over 30,000, which can be said to have fully met the expected requirements.

Most importantly, the news of the New Third Front Army's capture of the Fengtian area continued to spread throughout the three northeastern provinces. In addition to the various units of the former Northeast Army, many self-armed and patriotic young people were constantly gathering in Fengtian.

It's only a matter of time before each department reaches full staff.

"Ok!"

"I asked you to come here today!"

"There are two main things!"

After sitting down in the middle, Xie Jinyuan quickly spoke.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Has something happened inside the pass?" After a pause, Ding Wei couldn't help but ask.

After Ding Wei finished speaking, everyone subconsciously perked up their ears.

It should be noted that there is no easy task within the entire New Third Army Group, including Han Zheng's Fifth Army Group. The disappearance of the original Northeast Army in recent years is simply due to the prevailing trend.
