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

"Ok!"

"But it's not certain yet!"

The boss shook his head.

It can only be described as taking precautions.

If Shancheng doesn't act, fine, but once Shancheng makes a move, he will definitely have to make a statement.

Although Xie Jinyuan currently has over 170,000 troops under his command, in a few days that number will surpass 200,000.

But if the mountain city is still targeting the new three armies, then he will definitely have to stand up.

No matter how strong the new Third Army is, it is still the Eighth Route Army in the final analysis.

Xie Jinyuan was also his subordinate.

This has nothing to do with strength.

"Yes, sir!"

The brigade commander and the chief of staff stood at attention simultaneously and began to speak.

……

On the gate tower of Taiyuan City.

Unlike before, there were now more than twenty commanders of the Jin-Sui Army standing in rows on the city gate tower.

Their movements were uniform, and they even carried the same type of binoculars.

"Commander!"

"Xiaoqing River has been saved!"

"The 29th Division suffered heavy casualties!"

Yan Laoxi's deputy put down his binoculars and took a deep breath.

The battlefield was changing faster than anyone could have imagined.

Ten minutes ago, the Xiaoqing River location became the most serious breach threatening the security of the entire Taiyuan area.

Now, the situation has completely stabilized.

The 29th Division was hit by more than five or six rounds of rocket artillery.

They were completely stunned!

Following closely behind was a large-scale deployment of armed forces.

Without a doubt, they were all wearing the same gray military uniform.

By this point, the unit's designation was quite obvious.

First, there were those weapons of mass destruction, which were only possessed by the New Third Army in the entire Shanxi-Northwest region, or even in the entire China.

Secondly, their reinforcements came from the direction of Shanhaiguan.

And that telegram too!

Therefore, they can only be the new Third Army.

"I never expected this!"

"That kid Xie Jinyuan has really made it through!" Old Yan couldn't help but shake his head.

If he was still doubtful before, he is now completely certain!

Among the entire Eighth Route Army, no one except the New Third Army possessed such combat capabilities.

"Commander!"

"The heavy firepower of the new Third Army is too strong!"

They were at a disadvantage in terms of troop strength. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the newly reinforced Third Army only had about 30,000 men, while the Japanese had a whole war zone's worth of troops, exceeding 120,000.

This is a troop strength gap of one to four.

In terms of firepower, both the Japanese 29th Division and the entire Allied forces were undoubtedly under heavy suppression.

It should be understood that insufficient firepower was not only a curse hanging over the Eighth Route Army, the Second World War zone, and even the entire China.

But at this moment, it all vanished.

The scales of victory are now tipping ever higher.

The 29th Division was the strongest unit in the group, and its defeat would inevitably trigger a chain reaction.

"Commander!"

"I have a question. How exactly did the New Third Army arrive in Taiyuan?" The deputy paused, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

The northward march of the new Third Army was orchestrated by the mountain city.

Now that the Kwantung Army has not yet entered the pass, can the mountain city allow the new three armies to enter the pass?

“It’s the one in Shancheng who gave his approval!” After a moment of contemplation, Yan Laoxi spoke.

According to the telegrams sent from near Shanhaiguan, it was clear that Xue Yue did not allow the New Third Army to enter the pass at the beginning, which led to a standoff that lasted for ten minutes.

The fact that the new three armies later appeared in Taiyuan clearly indicates that Xue Yue had communicated with the person in Shancheng.

Without the permission of the mountain city, Xue Yue would not dare to let the new three armies enter the pass even if he had a hundred lives.

"Commander!"

“But isn’t Shancheng…” The deputy’s words trailed off, but he suddenly realized it was inappropriate and swallowed them back.

"Shancheng must allow Xie Jinyuan to enter the pass!"

Yan Laoxi shook his head and said.

The new Third Army entered the pass from a moral high ground; they could accept the mountain city's obstruction, but if the entire Second World War zone was wiped out...

The man from the mountain city will also become the target of everyone's condemnation.

As for Xie Jinyuan, based on his understanding of Xie Jinyuan, he dared to attack Taiyuan when he was still in the same regiment.

Sixty thousand men dared to take the initiative to head north and cause trouble for the Kwantung Army.

In comparison, Xue Yue was far inferior.

This is also the main reason why the road was cleared after a ten-minute standoff.

In this world, the rich fear the ruthless, and the ruthless naturally fear those like Xie Jinyuan who are fearless.

"Commander! What should we do now?" After a pause, the deputy quickly asked.

"Give me the order!"

"The Jin-Sui Army, including all forces in the Second War Zone, has been deployed in full force!"

"Tether the rest of the Allied forces of the 29th Division!"

"Buy time for the new Third Army to open up the situation and annihilate the 29th Division!"

After a moment of contemplation, Yan Laoxi suddenly spoke.

With the troops Xie Jinyuan currently has, it is undoubtedly insufficient.

It is impossible to wage a full-scale war. The only way to win is to mobilize all the troops at his disposal and fight a war of attrition.

At the same time, the New Third Army's abundant firepower was sufficient to capture the 29th Division in a short period of time.

We're taking them down one by one.

This led to victory in the great war.

Of course, another point is that this battle not only severely damaged the Jin-Sui Army, but also the entire Second War Zone, with more than half of the troops killed or wounded, and some units losing more than one-tenth of their strength.

This is a blood feud that must be avenged!

"Yes, Commander!"

The deputy suddenly straightened his back and said.

I was just about to turn around and go downstairs.

"Report! Commander Yan!"

"I have a secret report for you!"

The communicator's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Secret report?"

"who?"

Yan Laoxi looked puzzled.

It's important to understand that communication is now primarily done via telegram, and secret communications are rarely seen anymore.

And this is done in the form of a letter!
