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

The deputy said, his voice choked with emotion.

If the entire Jin-Sui Army were wiped out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To some extent, the existence of the Jin-Sui Army was the foundation for the commander's foothold in the Second World War Zone, or rather, his position in China.

"Their casualties are already heavy enough!"

"Moreover, the Eighth Route Army can't all be wiped out here. Xie Jinyuan is quite good; he left me Taiyuan City!"

"But he doesn't know what Taiyuan symbolizes to Laozi!" Yan Laoxi shook his head with a bitter expression.

For the entire nation of China, Yan was the supreme commander of Shanxi Province, having controlled the province for over thirty years. Taiyuan was essentially the seat of his dignity.

However, he was decisively defeated by the Japanese invaders, suffering a crushing defeat in the Battle of Taiyuan.

Having lost Shanxi Province, they fled in disarray.

The entire Shanxi province was occupied by the Japanese, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army became a laughing stock.

After years of recuperation, the Jin-Sui Army was slowly recovering its strength, but only he himself knew that taking Taiyuan was nothing short of a pipe dream.

Everything was accomplished amidst the changing winds and clouds; Xie Jinyuan handed Taiyuan City over to him.

Regardless of how others see it, Yan returned to Taiyuan once again.

They recaptured Taiyuan from the Japanese.

The Jin-Sui Army once again stood tall before tens of millions of people in Jin Province.

Now the Japanese devils are clearly trying to break his backbone once again!

"Commander!"

"How about heading towards the mountain city?"

After a pause, the deputy said in a deep voice.

If Li Zhongren's troops were willing to send troops, it would be somewhat possible to stop the advance of these Japanese soldiers in the Central Plains War Zone.

"impossible!"

The deputy was interrupted by Yan Laoxi's wave of his hand before he could finish speaking.

If Shancheng wanted to send troops, it would have done so long ago; it wouldn't have waited until now.

"Give the order!"

Then Yan Laoxi spoke with a weary expression.

Whether or not the main force continues to resist after the initial attack has failed is no longer important.

"Ugh!"

"Yes, Commander!" The deputy shook his head helplessly.

I was just about to turn around and leave!

"Report! Commander!"

"The Eighth Route Army commander requests an audience!"

Just then, the messenger's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The Eighth Route Army? Boss?"

Yan Laoxi suddenly stood up and said.

"Commander Yan!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out quickly inside the room, and the boss's figure appeared in the command room.

"Commander Yan! Why should the Jin-Sui Army be the main force?"

The boss stepped forward, straightened his back, and began to speak.

"Commander!"

"The Eighth Route Army... sigh!" After the Eighth Route Army commander left, Yan Xishan's deputy couldn't help but sigh.

Rather than saying they're here to compete for the main force.

The subconscious message was that the Eighth Route Army would stand with the Second World War Zone no matter what.

In contrast, over in the mountain city...

It should be noted that, under the direction of Shancheng, the Second War Zone has been intentionally or unintentionally curbing the development of the Eighth Route Army over the years.

Although the sudden emergence of the new Third Regiment made the Eighth Route Army in the entire Shanxi-Northwest region very famous.

However, the subsequent actions taken by the mountain city against the new Third Regiment, as well as the second-war zone's renewed instructions in the mountain city, all aimed to strictly control the organizational structure of the Eighth Route Army.

In the end, when it really came to danger, only the Eighth Route Army stood by the commander's side.

"Commander! Are we really going to give up most of the positions?" After a pause, the deputy spoke again.

Just now!

The Eighth Route Army commander also gave a comprehensive account of the strategic issues.

"Give it up!"

"Withdraw all main forces!"

"Launch operations within a 30-kilometer radius of Taiyuan!"

"All non-main force units should be transferred to logistical operations!" After a moment of contemplation, Yan Laoxi suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, Commander!"

"But Commander!"

"Our military supplies are running low!" the deputy said in a deep voice.

The fact that the battle is being fought within a 30-kilometer radius of Taiyuan indicates that the war could escalate to a fever pitch at any moment. In other words, this battle of Taiyuan might be even more intense than the one fought by Yoshio Shinotsuka.

Without a large reserve of military supplies, the entire campaign would be lost if it were lost.

"Then let's go rob them, let's demand them!"

"Go rob us? Go beg us?"

"Commander, what do you mean?" The deputy was stunned.

In the entire Taiyuan hinterland, or rather, in the entire Second World War zone, apart from the Japanese, the only other troops left were Li Zhongren's unit.

In other words, what does the commander mean?

"Shancheng will not reinforce the Taiyuan Campaign, but that doesn't mean they won't reinforce our weapons and equipment!"

Yan Laoxi spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Commander!"

"If a fight breaks out..." The deputy swallowed subconsciously.

The message is clear: this is tantamount to snatching a piece of fat meat from the mouth of the King of Hell.

"Li Zhongren doesn't have the guts!"

"He has no choice but to swallow this bitter pill!" Old Yan said meaningfully.

"Yes, Commander!"

……

"commander!"

"Commander Yan! This is preparing for a bloody battle with the Japanese devils in Taiyuan!"

In the temporary command post of the Fifth War Zone and Second War Zone, Li Zhongren stared intently at a huge map behind him.

Numerous red dots have been marked on it.

The deputy spoke up from beside him.

The troop strength in the Second World War zone has been drastically reduced, and the purpose is quite clear.

Troops including the Eighth Route Army once gathered near Taiyuan.

It must be said that the Jin-Sui Army fought with all its might this time, stubbornly holding off an army of over 100,000 and defending Taiyuan to the death.

"Yan Laoxi won't last long!" Li Zhongren said calmly after turning his gaze away.

First, there was a disparity in troop strength between the two sides. Although the Japanese army numbered 120,000, they were all field troops, and most of them were elite soldiers who had fought several major battles in the Central Plains Theater.

On the other hand, only the Jin-Sui Army was the main force in the Second World War Zone, although its strength was also over 100,000.

However, the casualty ratio between Chinese soldiers and Japanese soldiers was never one to one.

Secondly, the difference in weaponry and equipment is too great.

"commander!"
