But only he knew that Yamashiro could not fight to the death against the Kwantung Army when they entered the pass.

First, the strength of the mountain city was insufficient. The three war zones plus the Fifth Army and the First Army Group were only roughly equal in terms of troop strength, but what about the Japanese? A full 600,000 fully armed elite Japanese soldiers.

Armored forces and air force units are everywhere.

What to fight with?

Therefore, the final result will definitely be that after a few days of resistance, it will come to nothing.

A complete retreat.

But now it's clear that Commander Xie is preparing to...

"Ok!"

"Thank you, Commander!"

"Excuse my bluntness, but the Kwantung Army's entry into the pass this time is a great calamity. Even if all the troops of China were gathered together, it would be impossible to stop them!"

"Keep in mind that this is a mechanized force of 600,000, plus the air force!"

Bai Congxi hesitated before speaking.

Instead of engaging in pointless resistance, he preferred to preserve his strength. After all, in his view, the Kwantung Army's entry into the pass was only temporary, and they would definitely return to Kwantung after fully opening up the supply lines.

"Ha ha!"

"Commander Bai! Thank you for the reminder!"

"However, since the New Third Front Army dared to enter the pass, it must be because they were not without any confidence!"

"In terms of army strength, the Kwantung Army may be strong, but it can't do anything to me!"

"As for the air force! Its fate was sealed the moment the Kwantung Army left the pass!" Xie Jinyuan said meaningfully.

However, without giving Bai Congxi time to ask questions, he quickly left the command room.

Upon reaching the door, he abruptly turned to look at Bai Congxi, "Commander Bai!"

"Three days from now, the Second World War Zone will come to take over Tianjing!"

"Thanks……"

Bai Congxi was about to speak when Xie Jinyuan quickly turned and left.

"commander!"

"What happened?"

Bai Congxi's deputy quickly walked in, looking puzzled.

"fine!"

"Notify me!"

"Withdraw from Tianjin completely in three days!"

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Congxi seemed to have made up his mind and spoke.

"Withdraw from Tianjin?"

"Commander! This..." The deputy was taken aback and asked in confusion.

"Relay the order!"

Bai Congxi abruptly waved his hand to interrupt.

"Yes! Commander!"

……

"General Murakami!"

"The new Chinese army is following too closely!"

"We suffered heavy casualties!"

After reaching a dangerous spot, the village's deputy quickly followed, panting heavily.

At the same time, a clear scratch on his right cheek was a full five centimeters long, and his previous composure was completely gone.

"Bagya Road!"

"Damn Chinese pigs!"

Murakami slammed his fist into the dirt mound in front of him, his face covered in dirt, and his anger seemed to solidify into a tangible form.

"General!"

"We have no way out now!"

"How to do?"

The deputy said with a bitter expression.

This northward march was entirely a spontaneous military operation by the 29th Division Allied Forces, and it remains to be seen whether General Umezu will receive reinforcements.

Moreover, there's no way to retreat now; behind us are the ferocious Chinese New Third Army.

Heading north is Taipei, which is now only about 30 kilometers away.

"Enter Taipei!"

After taking a deep breath, Murakami quickly spoke.

"Enter Taipei?"

"General! You mean from the direction of Mentougou?"

The deputy suddenly realized what was happening and said.

"Ok!"

A ruthless glint flashed across Murakami's face.

"General!"

"If General Umezu's side hasn't joined the battle yet, then we'll be facing a two-pronged attack from the Chinese army!"

"And will this affect General Umezu's strategy...?"

"idiot!"

"Did the empire lose so many soldiers?!"

"Should we still seek his opinion?" Murakami asked his deputy, his eyes cold.

The northward advance of the 29th Division Allied Forces was entirely the idea of ​​the Marine Corps, which ignored the fact that its own forces were under mortal threat.

Since they are unkind, we cannot blame them for being unjust.

After all, he has always been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, not the Ground Force, and certainly not Yoshijiro Umezu.

"Hai!"

The deputy bowed deeply.

"But General!"

"Also, we're now entering Mentougou!"

"The Chinese troops stationed in Taipei will definitely find us and will surely intercept us!"

The deputy paused for a moment before speaking.

Entering Taipei is indeed the only way, but it is also extremely dangerous.

"uncertain!"

Murakami spoke expressionlessly.

The current 29th Division of the Allied Forces still has the strength of one division, while as far as he knows, the number of troops stationed in Beishi in the China Mountain City is only over 80,000.

Although they were the elite troops of the mountain city, he was not afraid at all!

To intercept your own forces, at least half of your troops must be diverted. Once those troops are diverted to block you, it will take a long time for them to devour you in a short period of time.

At this point, if the main force were to advance into Taipei, these Chinese would only face the option of losing Taipei.

So he was betting that the Chinese wouldn't dare to launch a large-scale military operation at this time.

"Full speed ahead into Mentougou!"

"Hai!"

The deputy bowed and said.

……

"Commander!"

"Urgent intelligence regarding the location of Mentougou!"

Inside the rear command center of the Fifth Army in Taipei, Du Yuming's deputy quickly arrived in front of him and spoke anxiously.

Mentougou?
