"Seventeen thousand?"

"Seventeen thousand?"

"Still expanding?"

The general and the brigade commander couldn't help but speak at the same time.

170,000?

The entire Jin-Sui Army had only 140,000 to 170,000 troops.

The most important thing is the speed of expansion of the new Third Army. In just half a month, it expanded by nearly two-thirds.

"Yes!"

"However, it definitely won't be entering the country in the next few days!"

Li Yunlong nodded in a deep voice.

If Taiyuan hadn't been in dire need of help, the Second Army Group wouldn't have been in such a hurry to enter the pass.

This moment truly represents the greatest opportunity for the entire New Third Front Army.

The reorganization and expansion of the remnants of the Northeast Army and the mechanization of the Eighth Division.

Without a doubt, once Chu Yunfei's Eighth Division completes its mechanization, the New Third Front Army will once again usher in a new era of development.

"Li Yunlong!"

"What exactly did Xie Jinyuan do outside the Great Wall?"

After a moment of contemplation, the boss couldn't help but speak up.

This is simply incredible.

It is said that the Eighth Route Army expanded rapidly, and that the Eighth Route Army consistently focused on infiltrating the masses, so the speed was understandable.

But what about the new three armies?

This kid doesn't seem to have done anything, does he?

"Boss!"

"Actually, this is very easy to understand!"

"The new Third Front Army captured the Fengtian area, including the Fengtian Arsenal, as soon as it left the pass!"

Li Yunlong spoke with a pointed tone.

In the three northeastern provinces, which were heavily affected by the Japanese invasion, capturing the Fengtian region was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth. However, at the same time, it was also a shot in the arm for the tens of millions of people in the three northeastern provinces who had been suffering from oppression.

Therefore, expanding the military force is not a big deal!

After all, in such a vast region as the three northeastern provinces, can't we find tens of thousands of passionate young people?

"Take over the Fengtian region?"

"And the Fengtian Arsenal?"

The boss frowned and said.

The importance of the Fengtian Arsenal to the Kwantung Army, or rather, to the entire Japanese army, is self-evident.

The Fengtian region was the heartland of the Japanese. Although these two places were very effective and inspiring, the expansion of troops would not be so fast!

In less than half a month, the troop strength was expanded by nearly 100,000?

Seemingly sensing his commander's doubt, Li Yunlong continued, "Commander, the rapid increase in the strength of the new Third Front Army is actually thanks to the Northeast Army!"

"We have reorganized most of the original Northeast Army's forces!"

……

"Boss!"

"Xie Jinyuan's luck is just too good!"

After Li Yunlong left, the brigade commander took a deep breath and said.

Through Li Yunlong's words, the two also figured out the reason for the rapid expansion of the new Third Army's strength.

The vast majority of them were remnants of the former Northeast Army.

It should be noted that when the Northeast Army entered the pass, it was not all of them; at least tens of thousands remained in the three northeastern provinces to form the Anti-Japanese United Army.

At one point, they were on par with the Japanese, but the war was not only about buffer zones, but also about logistical resources.

Ultimately, the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army was defeated and withdrew from the stage of the three northeastern provinces.

Meanwhile, the Anti-Japanese United Army quickly disintegrated and scattered throughout the three northeastern provinces.

"It wasn't luck!"

"It's Xie Jinyuan who has enough courage and confidence!" the boss said, shaking his head.

"Boss! You mean?"

"The new Third Army has just emerged from the pass. Even with 60,000 troops, would you dare to set your sights on the Fengtian region if you were in their shoes?"

"And those former Northeast Army soldiers are people who have seen big scenes. If it's just luck, it won't work at all!" the commander interrupted, waving his hand.

All I can say is that Xie Jinyuan had planned everything out in advance.

The capture of the Fengtian region and the Fengtian arsenal are both things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

After all, once these two areas are captured, the 700,000-strong Kwantung Army outside the Great Wall will definitely not sit idly by, and will certainly face a barrage of attacks.

But the reality is that this kid actually messed with the Fengtian Arsenal.

Following closely behind, the vigorous campaign to recapture Fengtian was launched.

The methods were extremely clever, which gave them the confidence to reorganize the remnants of the former Northeast Army.

Otherwise, it's highly unlikely that a mere title would be enough to persuade someone to surrender.

Another point is that even Meijin probably didn't expect Xie Jinyuan to actually dare to take action against the Fengtian region.

The subsequent events had already occurred, but due to various matters related to 290, most of the Kwantung Army was tied down. After all, the Kwantung Army was about to enter the Central Plains, and if they were to engage in a protracted war with Xie Jinyuan in the Kwantung region, the Japanese in China would obviously not be able to hold out.

In any case, Xie Jinyuan's move was a way out of the most desperate situation!

After the commander finished speaking, the brigade commander also fell silent.

They were clearly also pondering the meaning behind the boss's words.

"Now I actually think that Shancheng really suffered a huge loss this time!" the boss muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Clearly, the new Third Army has now established a firm foothold in the Kwantung region.

The force of 170,000 is still rapidly expanding.

At this rate, in a few days, or when the new three armies have fully entered the pass!

The total troop strength could even exceed 200,000!

Two hundred thousand troops!

Moreover, the main source of personnel for the expansion was all remnants of the original Northeast Army, veterans who had experienced the era of the old marshal and the Anti-Japanese United Army!

In terms of combat experience and combat quality, they far surpass any conventional troops!

Add to that Xie Jinyuan's incredibly wealthy military supplies and weapons depot, and it's safe to say that within two days, they could muster a powerful army that's in no way inferior to the elite troops of the Mountain City Army!

It can only be said that the person from the mountain city this time completely shot themselves in the foot!

"really!"

After the boss finished speaking, the brigade commander nodded thoughtfully.

Judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Second Army Group alone, the entire new Third Army has expanded rapidly, but it does not seem to have fallen into the aftereffects of rapid expansion of forces.

Of course, the brigade commander also knew that there was a tacit rule in the new Third Army that both new recruits and veterans had to undergo rigorous recruit training.

This should be the main reason why the new three armies can still maintain strong combat capabilities after rapid expansion.

"Old Huang!"

After a moment of contemplation, the boss suddenly turned his head and said.

"Commander!" the deputy chief of staff stepped forward and said.

"Notify me!"

"The entire army is ready for battle at any time!"

The boss said in a deep voice.

"Sir! What do you mean?" the brigade commander asked after a pause.

Now that Li Yunlong has taken over Taiyuan, even if they participate in the battle, that will be the responsibility of the Jin-Sui Army.

The purpose of the order issued by the boss is self-evident.

Mountain city!
