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

After all, although there was a greater cause to be done, the direct consequence of this incident was that the orders of the mountain city were disregarded.

If it weren't for the Taiyuan Campaign preceding the main event, the imminent southward advance of the Kwantung Army, and most importantly, the fact that the New Third Army's strength had been halved, they would not have been allowed to enter the pass.

If any of these conditions are not met, the direct confrontation will inevitably result in Chongqing using a grand pretext to directly attack the New Third Army.

Although they eventually succeeded in entering the pass, it must be said that this was a truly risky move.

"Ha ha!"

"You're absolutely right!"

"But you've overlooked the most important point!"

"what?"

"So, has Xie Jinyuan, leading the New Third Army, suffered a single defeat in his continuous battles?"

"In other words, Xie Jinyuan would never rashly send troops out!"

"Once we send out troops, it means we are certain of victory!" Bai Congxi said in a deep voice.

From his initial emergence to the numerous battles that followed, each battle seemed to involve coincidences!

But all of these together constitute strength!

Whether it was the "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao" strategy during the first Taiyuan Campaign, or the elimination of Yoshio Shinotsuka's two trump cards.

The 29th Division Allied Forces then marched north in full force.

In conclusion, that's the impression Xie Jinyuan gives off.

He rushed to Taipei City because, firstly, Tianjin had already given him permission to leave.

The second point is naturally to investigate the truth of Xie Jinyuan's claims.

"A sure thing?"

"Commander Bai!"

"To be honest, no matter how much you value the new three armies, it doesn't change the fact that they are understaffed!"

"Placing all your hopes on the New Third Army? You can't do it!"

Du Yuming shook his head.

"Who told you that the new Third Army is short-handed?"

"Furthermore, Xie Jinyuan won't stand by and watch his troops be completely surrounded by the Kwantung Army!" Bai Congxi said pointedly.

"Commander Bai!"

"The Battle of Mentougou is over!"

"Commander Bai!"

"You're not talking about the unit in front of us, are you?" Du Yuming was interrupted by Xue Yue's wave of his hand before he could finish speaking.

Bai Congxi's words clearly had a hidden meaning, and judging from his words, the two had obviously had contact before.

Seemingly sensing Xue Yue's guess, Xie Jinyuan said, "Before the Battle of Taipei broke out, Xie Jinyuan went to Tianjin to see me!"

Bai Congxi laid his cards on the table.

"Looked for you?"

"Correct!"

"Therefore, the new three armies have already exceeded your expectations!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this unit in front of us should be the Third Group Army of the New Third Front Army?" Bai Congxi said in a deep voice.

"The Third Army?"

"Commander Xue!"

"That Zhou Weiguo can't really be?" Du Yuming subconsciously took a deep breath and asked incredulously.

If it’s true!

Then wouldn't Zhou Weiguo really be the commander-in-chief, with more than 30,000 troops under his command?

Two more tank regiments?

"Yu Ming!"

"We actually guessed this a long time ago!"

Xue Yue shook his head.

If Bai Congxi hadn't mentioned the Third Army Group, he wouldn't have been able to confirm it.

But now it is quite certain that the Eighth Route Army in front of us is undoubtedly the Third Army Group.

In fact, two tank regiments appeared first, followed by a large-scale main force.

There is only this one explanation.

However, everyone remained skeptical, as it was all too unbelievable.

"Does that mean Xie Jinyuan has two army groups under his command?"

"Sixty thousand troops?"

Chapter 206 More Than Two? Six Army Groups? Xue Yue and Du Yuming were dumbfounded! [Please subscribe automatically!]

Du Yuming suddenly realized what was happening.

At the same time, the shock on his face could no longer be maintained.

Zhou Weiguo claimed to be the commander of the Third Army Group, which also had a fully-fledged armored force.

The army has a strength of up to 60,000.

In other words, the new Third Army not only suffered no damage during its northward march, but also significantly improved its armored forces.

The combat capabilities of the two tank regiments are now vastly different.

"I don't know about the other one!"

"But it should be the Second Army Group, and its commander seems to be named Li Yunlong!"

"He was promoted from the regimental-level units that Xie Jinyuan took with him when he went north!"

Bai Congxi frowned and said.

Although he didn't know Li Yunlong before, once he got to know him, he realized that Li Yunlong was indeed a talented person.

Without Xie Jinyuan, Li Yunlong would undoubtedly have been the most dazzling star on the Jin-Sui battlefield.

But things aren't bad now either. I'm the commander-in-chief of the Second Army Group, a peak that many people can only dream of reaching in their entire lives.

"Even if Xie Jinyuan will arrive at the battlefield in Taipei soon!"

"But two army groups, with 60,000 troops, still can't possibly affect the overall situation!"

After taking a deep breath, Du Yuming shook his head and said.

Xie Jinyuan's strength did indeed surprise him, but 60,000 troops versus 600,000 troops was a ten-to-one difference in strength.

There is absolutely no way to make up for it, not even if the new three armies have armored units and heavy firepower units.

"Who told you that the new Third Army only has two army groups?"

"Second Army Group, Third Army Group!"

Bai Congxi spoke in a deep voice.

"second?"

"third?"

"Of course there's a first place!"

"Commander Bai! You don't mean Xie Jinyuan has the strength of three army groups, do you?" Xue Yue, who was standing to the side, could no longer remain calm and suddenly spoke up.

Everyone focused their attention on the strength of the new three armies, while ignoring the so-called Second Army Group and Third Army Group.

Obviously, whether it is the new three-army or any other unit, they must be organized according to serial numbers.

In other words, it is impossible for a second army group to appear out of thin air without a first army group.

"No!"

Bai Congxi shook his head.

"Xie Jinyuan has a total of six army groups under his command!"

"More than 200,000 troops!"

After taking a deep breath, Bai Congxi slowly began to speak.

The words just fell!

Everyone in the room froze in place.

Even Du Yuming's deputy was completely bewildered and shocked!
