"How is this possible?" Du Yuming asked in disbelief.
"Commander!"
"Didn't the Fifth War Zone also join the battle?"
"And the 29th Division of the Allied Forces has already been decimated!"
The deputy couldn't help but speak up.
Everyone knew what Taipei would face next: the arrival of the Kwantung Army.
But have the Japanese troops in Taiyuan broken through the encirclement?
Come over here and try to smooth things over?
"He was indeed severely beaten!"
"However, the 29th Division has too many troops!"
"The Fifth War Zone can't possibly take on that many!"
Du Yuming pondered for a moment before speaking.
Before the Fifth War Zone joined the battle, the entire 29th Division of the Allied Forces still had more than 80,000 troops!
The current output of 20,000 is clearly the limit.
He just didn't expect that Chiang Kai-shek would play such a trump card, but in the end, it still couldn't stop the 29th Division's Allied forces from advancing north.
Seemingly sensing the commander's melancholy, the deputy paused before speaking, "But Commander!"
"It takes at least a day to travel from Taiyuan to Taipei!"
"Moreover, judging from the telegrams, the New Third Army is making every effort to pursue and annihilate the remaining troops!"
· ·······Request flowers· ·····
"They might be wiped out before they even reach Taipei!"
The deputy swallowed hard.
"Unlikely!"
"The new Third Army is strong, but that's about it!"
Du Yuming shook his head.
After the New Third Army arrived in Taiyuan, he also kept a close eye on the Taiyuan battlefield.
It must be said that he had heard of the so-called New Third Army before and had some understanding of the development of the last Taiyuan Campaign. The New Third Army had shown remarkable performance.
However, looking at their battles as a whole, they were all large-scale battles.
The situation on a large-scale frontal battlefield is different from the current one. If the Japanese are determined to retreat, the new Third Army really has no way to deal with them.
After all, pursuit warfare is different from positional warfare.
In positional warfare, the new Third Army could annihilate tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, but in pursuit warfare, it certainly couldn't.
"That commander!"
... 0 .......
"Aren't we going to be attacked from both sides?" the deputy blurted out instinctively.
"No!"
“I think this is an opportunity!” Du Yuming said thoughtfully, his brows furrowed.
"Chance?"
"Ok!"
"Contact the Chairman immediately!"
"I have something to report!"
Du Yuming abruptly waved his hand to interrupt.
"Yes, Commander!"
……
Heavenly gold!
It has been the gateway to Taipei since ancient times, with a superior location, abundant resources, and convenient transportation.
But at this moment, Tianjin was also in a state of solemnity.
After all, the Kwantung Army was about to march south and had already broken through the first line of defense.
Next, we will surely conquer the second front, led by Taipei City and Tianjin.
Although most of the Kwantung Army was dispersed, 600,000 troops, even if dispersed in some places, was still a considerable number.
"commander!"
"The whole of China is in complete chaos!"
Bai Congxi's deputy put down the telegram in his hand, took a deep breath, and said.
First, the Battle of Taiyuan broke out, followed by the entry of the new Third Army, and then the Fifth War Zone also participated in the battle.
The 29th Division of the Allied Forces has now broken out and is retreating towards Taipei.
The situation is even more chaotic in Taipei!
Xue Yue's First Army Group retreated towards Beishi, which was guarded by Du Yuming's Fifth Army.
But the Kwantung Army was about to arrive.
Now they are facing the northward advance of the 29th Division Allied Forces.
On the contrary, Tianjin is currently unaffected by the war.
But in the end, it's just a matter of time.
"Has the Second World War zone also moved north?"
In the middle seat, a commander slowly turned his head to face a refined man with striking features.

"commander!"
"Heading north!"
"But even if Commander Yan's troops arrive in Taipei!"
"I'm afraid there's not much we can do!" the deputy shook his head and said.
If you count the entire Taipei City area, you'll find that nearly a million troops have been gathered here.
Just Taipei!
The extent of the fighting there is unimaginable.
"Ok!"
"commander!"
"Do you think the New Third Army can annihilate the 29th Division before it arrives in Taipei?" After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but ask.
If the remnants of the 29th Division are annihilated, then the entire Taipei City will still be a formidable force. Otherwise, if we are attacked from both sides, the battle will be even more difficult!
"The new three armies are quite strong!"
"His highest-ranking official, Xie Jinyuan, is the only person among the '307' whom I have not yet seen through!"
"But in this battle, regardless of whether the remnants of the 29th Division can be completely annihilated!"
"It's only a matter of time before Taipei City falls!"
"After Taipei City's defeat, Tianjin Financial Holdings will also be defeated!"
"This is something that cannot be changed!"
Bai Congxi took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.
The Kwantung Army had 600,000 troops, including the army, navy, and air force. The new three armies were quite powerful, but their numbers were too small. If the new three armies had 200,000 troops, they could have fought this battle, but with only 30,000 troops, they couldn't make a dent in the water!
Moreover, he was well aware of Yamashiro's thoughts; he wouldn't gamble everything.
The most likely scenario is that the fighting will reach a certain point, at which point a complete withdrawal will be implemented.
They preserved their strength while also gaining a good reputation.
Since the higher command held this view, it was clearly unlikely that he would fight the Japanese to the death.
"commander!"
"You mean?"
The deputy was already deathly pale.
"report!"
