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

"Duan Peng!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

Upon hearing the shout, Duan Peng suddenly spoke up.

"How much longer until they arrive from Wei?"

Then Xie Jinyuan spoke with a solemn expression.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"We're already moving at full speed, and it'll probably take at least another twenty minutes!"

After a moment of contemplation, Duan Peng said.

Although Tianjin and Taipei are close in distance, they are not air force bases.

Based on the time, there are about twenty minutes left.

"."Um!"

"Think of a way for me!"

"I need to see Xue Yue and Du Yuming!" After a moment of contemplation, Xie Jinyuan spoke with a hint of something.

"Xue Yue?"

"Du Yuming?"

"Commander-in-Chief! You're not planning to enter Taipei, are you?" Duan Peng seemed to have misheard and froze on the spot.

Now, Taipei City is no longer a viable option. It's surrounded by Japanese troops on all sides, and the buffer zone three kilometers ahead is engulfed in constant artillery fire.

Let alone people, even a mosquito would probably be blasted to smithereens.

However, seeing the Commander-in-Chief's expression, Duan Peng cautiously asked, "Commander-in-Chief, you wouldn't really mean to..."

"Ok!"

Xie Jinyuan nodded in a deep voice.

……

"Yu Ming!"

"It's going to be gone!"

On the city gate tower, Xue Yue leaned against the city wall, sighed, and slowly said (okay).

"Xue..."

"Commander!"

"The front lines are in dire need of help!"

Just as Du Yuming was about to speak, his deputy's voice rang out from behind him.

"I saw!"

"How many troops do we have left?" Du Yuming took a deep breath and asked.

"Commander! We don't have many troops left to deploy!"

"More than 50% of the First Division's troops were killed or wounded after they returned to reinforce!"

"The Second Division's main force has been completely wiped out!"

"Only the two guard companies under the commander's command are still intact!" the deputy said with a bitter expression.

"Commander! We can no longer hold Taipei!" After a moment's hesitation, the deputy choked up as he spoke.

Although it sounds harsh, it is the truth: the Fifth Army had run out of troops, and the First Army Group had also suffered heavy casualties.

Keep in mind, they haven't even lasted twenty minutes!

"Shut up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Yuming turned his head sharply and looked at his deputy, You, with a cold expression.

Chapter 200 Is this an armored vehicle? A tank? Du Yuming was dumbfounded! [Please subscribe automatically!]

The deputy looked at Du Yuming as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately choked back his words.

Six hundred thousand armored troops—that was the limit of what the Fifth Army could do, and the Taipei defense line was attacked and bombed by the air force.

"Commander!"

"And our ammunition and supplies are already..." The deputy paused, then forced himself to continue.

The Kwantung Army has completely surrounded Taipei and cut off the supply lines of the Third Front.

Right now, all they can do is rely on the existing military supplies within the Taipei front, but that's simply not enough.

Fighting against 600,000 Kwantung Army troops requires not only a large number of soldiers, but also a continuous supply of military supplies.

"Then figure something out for me!"

"Even if you have to do it bare-handed, you have to defend Taipei for me!"

Du Yuming said, his eyes bloodshot.

The Fifth Army is known as the strongest force in China. If it can't even stop the boast that the Japanese can take Taipei in half an hour, then what face does it have?

"Commander!"

"I'm afraid I really will have to do it bare-handed!"

"We've run out of artillery shells, and our ammunition stockpile is pitifully low!"

The deputy spoke with a bitter expression.

The Fifth Army has been fighting for a long time, and the number of weapons consumed in such battles is always astronomical.

"What a bastard!"

After his deputy finished speaking, Du Yuming slammed his fist into the city wall in front of him, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xue Yue next to him, seeing the embarrassment in her eyes.

Clearly, the First Army Group's supplies have also run out!

"Commander!"

"Why don't we retreat?"

"With the forces we have, we still have time to break through!"

After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but speak up.

The Fifth Army cannot be completely wiped out in Beishi, as it is the only mechanized combat force in China.

It represents the hope of all of China.

But the words had barely left his mouth!

boom!

Boom boom!

Suddenly, a barrage of cannon fire erupted in their ears, followed by a shaking sensation beneath them.

And subconsciously looked down from the city gate tower.

Before anyone knew it, dozens of tanks had broken through the defenses and reached the front of Beishi City.

A large number of shells were fired at a speed visible to the naked eye toward the city gate.

Countless explosions erupted in an instant, and the massive city gate collapsed with a deafening roar.

"Commander...Commander!"

"The Japanese devils have broken in!"

A messenger stumbled over, his face full of anxiety.

"Ok!"

Du Yuming nodded.

"Commander!"

"Taipei City is really doomed!"

The deputy said in a deep, bitter voice.

The Japanese devils have already reached our doorstep; even the commander probably couldn't have predicted that the defense line would collapse so quickly.

Now they will face the Japanese armored corps that have broken through the encirclement.

"go!"

"You go!"

After a moment of contemplation, Du Yuming suddenly turned to look at his deputy, his eyes bloodshot.

"Commander..."

"Commander Xue!"
