"Commander Bai!"

"How much did you just say?"

"Six army groups?"

"Two hundred thousand troops?" Du Yuming's eyes widened in disbelief.

"This is still the most conservative estimate!"

"That's what Xie Jinyuan said, but based on my conversation with him, this person definitely has something up his sleeve!"

"That means it could exceed 200,000, or even more!"

Bai Congxi spoke in a deep voice.

"Even more?"

Du Yuming felt a sudden dizziness.

To know!

Two hundred thousand troops?

Six army groups!

Even the entire Eighth Route Army didn't have that many troops.

The six army groups under Xie Jinyuan's command were clearly not ordinary combat forces.

After all, judging from the two army groups that entered the field, both the Second Army Group and the 29th Division Allied Forces were able to break the siege of Taiyuan.

This Third Army Group possesses considerable strength, including well-established tank and armored units.

In other words, even if the remaining army groups have different combat capabilities, the differences will not be too great.

This cannot be described as a force of 200,000 troops; it should be described as a powerful army of 200,000.

No wonder Commander Bai kept emphasizing that holding back was the greatest help to the new Third Army.

After all, the new three-army has now initially acquired the resources to confront the Kwantung Army head-on.

And just as everyone was subconsciously breathing heavily!

"report!"

"Commander!"

"Report from the forward observation post!"

"A large number of armed forces have appeared on the outskirts of Taipei!"

"They have a large army!"

"It has already exceeded 140,000!"

A messenger hurried up the city gate tower, walked up to Du Yuming, and said, panting heavily.

"How many?"

"140,000?"

Du Yuming suddenly shouted out.

Then, she subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xue Yue, who was not far away, and both of them saw shock in each other's eyes.

140,000!

This must be the new Third Army unit that Commander Bai mentioned.

... . ...

With the addition of the Second and Third Army Groups that entered the battlefield earlier, the total force has indeed reached 200,000!

"correct!"

"I forgot to tell you!"

"Xie Jinyuan seems to have said that the six army groups of the New Third Front Army will not all enter the pass for the time being!"

"The Sixth Army seems to be carrying out some important mission!"

At this moment, Bai Congxi suddenly remembered something.

The words fell to the ground!

The entire venue fell silent once again; even the sound of everyone's heartbeats could be clearly heard.

……

at the same time.

Northeast of Taipei.

Countless figures quickly appeared in sight.

They were all dressed in uniform gray military uniforms, moved with light steps and quick movements, and carried only standard equipment.

A large number of artillery pieces followed closely behind.

Of course, the equipment was secondary; the most important thing was the excitement on their faces.

They were all clearly yearning for something.

"report!"

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"The Fifth Army Group requests permission to fight!"

Han Zheng quickly walked up to Zhao Gang, his eyes gleaming, and shouted loudly.

This was the Fifth Army Group's first battle, but even more so, it was the first battle fought by the former Northeast Army in many years.

They've been longing for this battle for far too long!

So long that everyone forgot that this group of people even existed in the three northeastern provinces.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"And us!"

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"The Third Army Group has already joined the battle ahead of schedule!"

"The Kwantung Army's strength is too large!"

"Commissioner Zhao! We must join the battle as soon as possible!" Ding Wei, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

Old Zhou's forces were not weak, and it was only after the assembly that he learned that Old Zhou also had two tank regiments of armored troops under his command.

It has to be said that this move surprised everyone.

But now the Third Army Group is facing 600,000 Kwantung Army troops.

Every second wasted made the Third Army Group even more vulnerable.

"okay!"

"I'm neither blind nor deaf!"

"Monk!"

"Have you made contact with the Commander-in-Chief yet?" Zhao Gang interrupted abruptly.

"Reporting to Commissioner Zhao!"

"Commander Zhou replied with a telegram on March 13th, confirming the position of Commander-in-Chief!"

"There are no safety issues!"

"That's good!"

Zhao Gang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
