After all, if there is any military force in the entire country that commands respect, it is only the newly formed Third Army.

Even with only a regimental-level unit, it dared to confront five divisions of Yoshio Shinotsuka.

Now that the army has been formed, it is only natural that it should defeat the 29th Division.

"Commander Xie! Well done!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Thank you General!"

"The New Third Army!"

Rumors spread throughout China, with tens of thousands of people rushing around, sharing stories of General Xie's legendary life. Some even went so far as to claim that General Xie had four eyes.

He is the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Guandong, who saved the country.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"The rumors outside are getting more and more outrageous; they're saying you have four eyes!"

Inside the command center, Duan Peng stepped forward and couldn't help but speak.

In the past few days, news about the new Third Army has been constantly being unearthed. Its predecessor was the New Third Regiment, and the time of its establishment has been revealed. The New Third Regiment was established in just one and a half months, and it has grown from a single regiment to more than 30,000 troops.

However, after the New Third Army marched north and entered the pass, all news came to an abrupt halt.

If they knew that the new Third Army was no longer the 30,000 troops in front of them, but a full 200,000, they would probably all go crazy.

"okay!"

"There's nothing to say about that!" Xie Jinyuan waved his hand and said.

In his view, this was a good thing. After all, what makes China different from other places is that China has a faith-based system, and this faith is different from that of other countries. They believe in their ancestors and in themselves, which can generate a powerful fighting force in a very short time.

The situation is different abroad.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"That guy from Yamashiro did a good job this time!"

Li Yunlong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

The frontline battlefield had been stabilized at 307, so he stayed in the command center.

"Just going with the flow!"

"The chairman isn't stupid; winning people's hearts is his forte!"

Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"You mean this is to legitimize the Second World War zone?" Li Yunlong paused and asked.

"That's one reason!"

"More importantly, this makes it even more certain that the Second World War zone will move north!"

Xie Jinyuan seemed to be referring to something.

The telegram wasn't intended to have any effect; Yan Xishan was certain to head north no matter what. "But this telegram of mine has unearthed a big fish!"

After a pause, Xie Jinyuan slowly began to speak.

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"You mean the Fifth War Zone?" Li Yunlong asked, initially puzzled, then suddenly realized what he meant.

"Ok!"

"Li Zhongren has already sent out troops, hasn't he?" Xie Jinyuan quickly turned to look at Li Yunlong and asked.

"Correct!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"You don't know until you fight him, Li Zhongren is quite powerful!"

Li Yunlong swallowed subconsciously.

With 80,000 troops, well-equipped and armed, and the war zone where Li Zhongren was stationed was known for its fierce soldiers.

When it comes to fighting, they are just as formidable as the New Third Army.

"That's for sure!"

Xie Jinyuan nodded.

Li Zhongren is no ordinary figure in the Chongqing clique; comparatively speaking, he wields even more influence than Yan Xishan.

This was all thanks to the Guibing soldiers in his hands.

"But Commander-in-Chief! I don't understand why Li Zhongren, with such strength, didn't send troops earlier to resolve the Taiyuan issue?" Li Yunlong asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Zhongren's forces were not weak. If a battle broke out, he could at least maintain a balance of power, if not defeat the 29th Division's allied forces.

But the reality is that so many people sacrificed their lives in vain in the Second World War zone.

"The mountain city isn't standing still! It's just that the timing was just right!"

"This was originally the last resort, but it was something we were prepared to use beforehand!"

"After the new three armies entered the field, they were completely submerged at the bottom of the lake!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke meaningfully.

The fact that Li Zhongren's Fifth War Zone dispatched troops at this time made its intentions all too clear.

The Fifth War Zone's inaction was merely a last resort to hinder the New Third Army's northward advance.

They were able to reach a strategic alliance with Du Yuming, Xue Yue, Bai Congxi, and others to completely contain the new Third Army.

In other words, regardless of whether the Kwantung Army can win or not, if they can't, they will abandon the second front, but the premise is that the New Third Army will definitely be buried in the second front.

This time, however, he casually fried fish and actually caught a big one.

"Chips?"

Li Yunlong frowned sharply, clearly pondering the meaning behind it.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.

"but!"

"Commander-in-Chief! What about the Kwantung Army's air force?" Li Yunlong paused for a moment before quickly asking.

Compared to what the Commander-in-Chief said, he valued this more, since the Kwantung Army had already broken through the first front and the battle on the second front had begun.

Although the distance to Taiyuan is not short, it certainly won't have much impact on the Air Force.

Once the air force arrives, even if the Fifth Theater Command simultaneously surrounds them from the rear, they may not be able to gain any advantage.

"Old man Meijin is not stupid!"

"If we sacrifice the 29th Division, we can completely wipe out an elite army in the mountain city!"

"Which is more important: to simultaneously break through three lines of defense and complete the mission assigned by the Marine Corps?" Xie Jinyuan asked meaningfully.

"Elite troops?"

"Commander-in-Chief! You mean Du Yuming's Fifth Army?"

"Ok!"

"If the Kwantung Army air force is mobilized, Yamashiro isn't stupid; he'll definitely order Du Yuming to send troops to support Xue Yue's retreat!"

"Given the speed of armored forces, seizing this opportunity will be difficult!"

"If we can't take down Du Yuming's Fifth Army, it will be a big problem even for the Kwantung Army!"

"After all, the buffer zone between the first and second fronts is too large!"

"Enough to hold off the mountain city for a sufficient amount of time!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head.

A direct confrontation would be impossible, but by using terrain advantages and various tactical harassments, it was possible to keep most of the Kwantung Army tied down on the second front for several dozen days.

In ten days, the Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield will likely face an even more dangerous situation, possibly even a severe shortage of supplies.

"That's true!"

After Xie Jinyuan finished speaking, Li Yunlong nodded subconsciously.

"But Commander-in-Chief!"

"Do you think Du Yuming will send troops?" Li Yunlong swallowed hard.

"I don't know!"

"But there's an 80% chance!"
