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

After all, back in Aoyama Town, he had personally witnessed the New Third Regiment annihilate the entire Osaka Division.

"Hmm!" Xie Jinyuan nodded, his brows furrowed.

"But Commander!"

"If the Japanese don't provide support, it will only take four days at most for the Second Army to completely wipe out the 29th Division and end the entire Taiyuan battlefield."

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued.

The 29th Division was the backbone. Once the 29th Division was completely wiped out, what was left was just a rabble, which would be much easier to deal with.

"Four days?"

"no!"

"I'm only giving you two days!"

"We must control the Taiyuan battlefield!" Xie Jinyuan said, shaking his head after putting down his teacup.

"Two days?"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"These are over 100,000 Japanese soldiers!" Li Yunlong swallowed subconsciously.

Two days is too rushed.

Compared to the hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, annihilating them one by one was simply impossible.

"This is already the fastest time possible!"

"The Kwantung Army has arrived at Shanhaiguan!"

"We have engaged in combat with the First Army!"

Xie Jinyuan said with a solemn expression.

"Have you arrived?"

"So fast?" Li Yunlong asked in disbelief.

The Second Army Group entered the pass in just four days, including today.

In other words, the two basically entered the country one after the other.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"What's the situation with the battle?"

Li Yunlong subconsciously continued to ask.

But he realized something was wrong halfway through his sentence. After all, if there were no problems on the front lines, the Taiyuan battlefield wouldn't be in such a hurry to end.

"Xue Yue will definitely have to retreat within four hours at most!"

"The first front will also cease to exist at the same time!"

Xie Jinyuan took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.

As it turns out, all schemes and tricks are nothing but a thin sheet of paper in the face of absolute power.

The mountain city had painstakingly planned to make a big move in the heart of Shanhaiguan, but who knew that the Kwantung Army would not play by the rules at all.

With tanks and armored vehicles leading the charge, along with air force, Xie Jinyuan knew that Xue Yue wouldn't last long, even as the battle was just beginning.

"No way!"

"Four hours?"

Li Yunlong stared wide-eyed.

"You think I'm really joking with you guys?"

"The Kwantung Army's armored forces and air force are no joke!"

Xie Jinyuan glared at Li Yunlong and said.

Despite the fact that the Second Army Group could withstand the Japanese Allied forces of over 100,000 men head-on, it might not be so certain against an equal number of Kwantung Army troops.

After all, the Kwantung Army surpassed any Japanese unit in terms of mobility, battlefield adaptability, and even firepower.

But what was even more serious was that the Kwantung Army had an air force, and the vast majority of the defensive facilities on the first line were destroyed by the air force.

"But Commander-in-Chief!"

Four hours!

"Is this Xue Yue...?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask.

Even with nearly 130,000 troops in the First Army Group, when they were facing off at Shanhaiguan, he still managed to frighten the entire Xue Yue force into immobility.

"Xue Yue's command ability is beyond question!"

Xie Jinyuan waved his hand to interrupt.

Xue Yue's command ability, including his battlefield skills, is not to be underestimated in China. He has commanded dozens of battles, both large and small.

They also won many battles with fewer troops.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"If we go by what you say!"

"Is it highly likely that Xue Yue will retreat to the second front?" Li Yunlong asked, frowning.

As for how much can be withdrawn, that's unclear.

But there will definitely be heavy casualties.

"Ok!"

"However, the second front won't last long either!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Isn't Du Yuming on the second front?"

"The Fifth Army under Du Yuming's command..."

"Du Yuming's Fifth Army is quite strong, but don't forget!"

"The Kwantung Army also has an air force!"

"Once the Fifth Army shows up, they'll be sitting ducks!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke in a deep voice.

The Fifth Army is known as the first mechanized force in all of China, and the entire army uses the latest combat methods.

To establish the Fifth Army, the man from Yamashiro expended countless hours and resources.

Even its supreme commander, Du Yuming, had studied abroad.

But in reality, Du Yuming didn't dare to show his face at all during this battle.

Yoshijiro Umezu wasn't stupid; he wouldn't waste such a huge advantage as the air force.

"That's true!"

"But Commander-in-Chief!"

"If the air force problem isn't solved, there's no point in us heading north!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said with an embarrassed expression.

The Battle of Taiyuan ended quickly, and the commander-in-chief's intentions were already very clear.

The new Third Front Army is about to enter the battlefield in this war that will sweep across half of China.

However, even with powerful weapons like the Rocket Force, it was useless against the Japanese air force's superiority.

After all, the Rocket Force is a powerful ground-attack force, but completely useless against air targets.

"Who says it can't be solved?"

"If I told you that the Kwantung Army's air superiority would be gone in a few days, would you believe me?"

Xie Jinyuan said with a joking expression.

"Commander-in-Chief! What do you mean?" Li Yunlong asked, looking puzzled.

"It's easy!"

"The Kwantung Army's air force system will be completely paralyzed, including logistics and supplies!"

Xie Jinyuan seemed to be referring to something.

There was one more thing he didn't tell Li Yunlong!

That means by then, the Kwantung Army's air force will become the air force of the New Third Area Army!

As for the batch that has already entered the country, they are obviously parked at various airports within the country, which he cannot control.
