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

The brigade commander quickly spoke up.

"brigadier!"

"Boss!"

"This entry into the pass was ordered by the Marine Corps on behalf of the Second Army Group!"

"The entire Second Army is what you see here, and as for me, I am the supreme commander of the Second Army!"

Taking a deep breath, Li Yunlong spoke in a deep voice.

The highest-ranking commander of the Second Army Group is naturally the commander of the Second Army Group.

"The Second Army Group?"

"Marine Corps?"

"Wait! What did you say? You're the highest-ranking commander of this unit?"

The brigade commander's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes widened like saucers.

It's been more than half a month since I last saw you.

Li Yunlong has become a commander-in-chief?

And the Second Army Group?

This is still the organization of an army group.

"Correct!"

“Not just me, but also Lao Ding and Chu Yunfei!” Li Yunlong quickly said.

"Ding Wei? Chu Yunfei?"

The brigade commander took a deep breath and said in disbelief.

"Yes!"

"Old Ding is the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army Group, and Chu Yunfei should be the same as him, barring any unforeseen circumstances!"

Li Yunlong spoke slowly.

It was a foregone conclusion that Chu Yunfei's Eighth Division would become the Sixth Group Army within the entire New Third Front Army.

It hasn't come to his attention yet; Chu Yunfei just has a big mission to complete.

"They're all commanders now?" The brigade commander felt a wave of dizziness. He knew that Ding Wei, Li Yunlong, and Chu Yunfei were all just the highest-ranking commanders at the regimental level before.

“Not entirely!”

“Old Kong and Old Cheng are not qualified enough right now, so they are temporarily serving as division commanders!” Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.

"Teacher?"

"Kong Jie? Blind Cheng is a division commander now?" The brigade commander subconsciously swallowed.

He knew his two subordinates best. Although they were good at leading troops and fighting battles, they were still far inferior to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei. Even so, they both became division commanders.

"Correct!"

Li Yunlong nodded helplessly.

This was the reason for the earlier hesitation, and it was probably the biggest blow to the brigade commander.

His former subordinates are now at least division commanders; Lao Ding and he have both become the highest-ranking commanders of an army group.

"and many more!"

"Li Yunlong, are you saying that the force we're facing right now is just your Second Army Group?"

The commander waved his hand to interrupt the brigade commander, his voice rapid and his breathing quickened.

He had assumed that the New Third Army had fully entered the pass, while Xie Jinyuan was still outside the pass, and that it was Xie Jinyuan who ordered Li Yunlong to command the New Third Army in full-scale operations. But now it seemed that something was not quite right!

This seems to be Li Yunlong's own troops?

Second Army Group?

"Correct!"

"So you mean you already have nearly 30,000 troops under your command?" the boss asked incredulously.

"Boss!"

"The main combat force of the Second Army Group is less than 30,000, it is more like 27,000!"

"Our brothers from the Rocket Force are among them!"

"But if you include non-combat units such as logistics and communications, the Second Army Group's strength does indeed exceed 30,000!"

Li Yunlong spoke truthfully.

"What about the rest of the troops? For example, how many soldiers does Ding Wei's Fourth Army have?" the commander asked hurriedly with a serious expression.

Even his hands, which were behind his back, were trembling slightly.

Clearly, a lot has happened in the two weeks since the new three armed forces left the pass. First, there was a large-scale reorganization of their organizational structure...

If the Second Army Group did not bring most of the New Third Army's forces into the pass, in other words, if each of the other army groups Li Yunlong mentioned was roughly the same size as the one under Li Yunlong's command.

In other words, the strength of the new Third Army exceeded 100,000 in the half month since it left the pass? It was expanded by nearly 40,000?

"Commander! I don't know the exact number of the Fourth Army under Lao Ding's command, but it should be about the same as, or even more than, the Second Army!"

Li Yunlong spoke in a deep voice.

When the troops were divided, the strength of the First to Fifth Army Groups was not much different. The largest was Yang Liansheng's First Army Group, with nearly 40,000 troops, while the smallest was the Fifth Army Group, with less than 30,000 troops!

But now it's hard to say!

After all, the entire Second Army Group entered the pass, while the other brother units continued to complete their reorganization and expansion tasks in the Fengtian area.

According to what Lao Han said, nearly 20,000 troops from the Northeast Army would eventually return to their posts.

There are also new recruits from all over the three northeastern provinces who have joined the army.

In other words, as long as they are still in the Fengtian area, each army group has more than enough strength to expand to the level of a brigade.

After Li Yunlong finished speaking slowly, not only the brigade commander but also the general were dumbfounded.

More than the Second Army Group?

That would mean each army group has more than 30,000 troops.

"Li Yunlong, doesn't that mean your New Third Army now has four army groups under your command?"

"The total troop strength exceeds 100,000?" the commander asked, taking a deep breath.

Ding Wei was in the Fourth Group Army, which means there are at least four 1.5 Group Armies.

Even at the very least, each army group has a total strength of over 100,000 troops.

And no wonder Li Yunlong called Xie Jinyuan the commander-in-chief; it's true, he had four army groups under his command!

And what Li Yunlong called the New Third Front Army, has all been sorted out now.

In just half a month, the 60,000 troops have doubled!

It has to be said that Xie Jinyuan always manages to surprise people.

This time, however, it was an even bigger surprise.

"Boss!"

"Actually, you're only half right!"

"What do you mean?"

"Commander! According to the organizational structure issued by the Marine Corps, the entire New Third Front Army should have six army groups, but currently there are only five!"

"The Sixth Army Group, which is the unit where Chu Yunfei is located, should also be established soon!"

Li Yunlong spoke thoughtfully.

"Six army groups?"

The commander and brigade commander exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"Li Yunlong!"

"Just tell me honestly, how many troops does the entire New Third Army, or rather the New Third Front Army, have!"

The boss couldn't help but gasp.

In every respect, the situation of the new Third Army outside the Great Wall seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.

Six army groups—what does that mean?

Moreover, the Second Group Army, which Li Yunlong is currently in, does not have the largest number of troops.

"Commander! The exact number is unclear because the strength of the entire New Third Front Army is continuously expanding, but when the Second Army entered the pass, the total strength of the entire New Third Front Army exceeded 170,000!"

"What did you say?"
