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

"Damn Chinese!"

Umezu slammed his fist on the command table in front of him and roared with bloodshot eyes.

Clearly, by this point, he understood the whole story. The so-called heavy firepower unit of the new Chinese army was constantly changing positions, which was just to lure his own air force to a pre-arranged ambush location.

"Is this really China's new Third Army?" Umezu then turned his head and stared intently at his deputy.

"Reporting to General Meijin!"

"According to the investigation, this powerful Chinese Eighth Route Army is indeed the new Third Army!"

The deputy spoke with a bitter expression.

"Baka yarou!"

"How can this be?"

"How could the new Third Army possibly still have so many troops?" Mei Jin said angrily.

"General!"

"We've all been fooled by that damned Xie Jinyuan!"

"The new Third Army has indeed entered the pass, but only a portion of its forces have entered!"

"Most of their troops were scattered throughout the Fengtian area and only regrouped a few days ago!"

"And in the Fengtian region, we..." the deputy said bitterly, hesitating to finish his sentence.

General Umezu was not unprepared, but the damned New Third Army was too cunning, scattering the entire army ahead of time and leaving behind an empty Fengtian City.

After the Fengtian region was captured by the new three armies, the empire's control over it had already become very weak.

That's why this crucial message took so long to arrive.

"idiot!"

"It can't be the new Third Army!"

"They couldn't possibly have that many troops!"

"Meijinsen said with a cold look in his eyes."

He knew the exact strength of the New Third Army when it left the pass; it was impossible to fake. At that time, there were only about 50,000 to 60,000 men, and only about ten days had passed.

Expanding the workforce several times over?

"General!"

"The new Third Army has most likely completed a large-scale expansion in the Fengtian area!"

After a pause, the deputy spoke in a deep voice.

"Expansion?"

“No! You mean those places in the three provinces of Kanto?” As soon as his deputy said that, Umezu immediately realized what he meant.

It's not impossible that the new Third Army truly reorganized them.

After all, in the eyes of the whole of China, the three northeastern provinces had long become their own personal fiefdom.

But only he knew that there was still a considerable military force in the three northeastern provinces.

However, years of encirclement and suppression have long since dismantled them into pieces, posing no threat to the empire's great cause.

This is the Northeast Army of the former Huaxia.

But even a centipede doesn't die easily; these people are not without fighting power, nor are they incapable of forming an organization again. They are just missing a alpha wolf.

Once someone takes the lead, a formidable fighting force can be formed instantly.

"Hai!"

"General Umezu!"

"Our men did indeed discover quite a few scattered units of the former Northeast Army during the battle!"

The deputy nodded.

There was also a team that seemed to be composed entirely of former Northeast Army soldiers; everything was already self-evident.

But it's still incredibly unbelievable!

After all, the New Third Army previously had only 50,000 to 60,000 troops, but now it is obviously going to reach 200,000!

In other words, the new Third Army has tripled its troop strength.

This would be impossible in any reorganization, since reorganizing so many units would affect the purity of the original troops, and more importantly, it would be impossible to win the support of the masses.

But in reality, the new three armed forces have achieved this!

"Baka!"

After his deputy finished speaking, Umejin couldn't help but curse.

Although the matter is not yet settled, it is very close to the final outcome.

There's an old Chinese saying: "Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass."

That's exactly the situation I'm describing.

The planning of the New Third Army was obviously not that simple. It is likely that the expansion was already being prepared when the telegram for the New Third Army was sent!

Or rather, the telegram they sent after capturing Fengtian was not directed at themselves at all, but rather aimed at making a name for themselves throughout the three northeastern provinces, thereby further consolidating all the original Northeast Army forces scattered throughout the three northeastern provinces.

It should be noted that the original Northeast Army of China had nearly 200,000 troops remaining in the three provinces of Northeast China. After years of encirclement and suppression, only 70,000 to 80,000 troops remained scattered.

This is an extremely large pool of manpower!

However, I was kept in the dark the whole time.

This mistake allowed the New Third Army to grow into a behemoth capable of confronting our side in a short period of time.

It must be said that Xie Jinyuan is an extremely difficult opponent!

His temperament and strategy far surpassed any Chinese soldier he had ever met!

"General!"

"What should we do now?" After a pause, the deputy forced himself to ask.

"Give me the order!"

"The entire Imperial Air Force is deployed!"

Chapter 215 Meeting Up? Is this really... the New Three Armies? [Please subscribe automatically!]

"Hai!"

"General Umezu!"

"Also, notify the Imperial 17th Brigade Artillery Regiment, the Kurokawa Brigade Artillery Regiment, and Kameda Ichiro!"

"At all costs, swiftly annihilate the new three-army heavy firepower positions!"

Yoshijiro Umezu said with a sinister look in his eyes.

He did not take all of the air force with him when he left the country this time.

There is also an Air Force Command in the three northeastern provinces, with more than two hundred fighter jets under his command, which is the core strength of the Imperial Air Force.

However, this time he did underestimate the Chinese soldiers.

That's why they suffered such a huge trauma.

But he is no longer prepared to give them another chance; he must strike decisively and eliminate the new Chinese army completely!

"Hai!"

The deputy bowed and said.

……

"Boss!"

"Are these... really all the new Third Army?" On the city gate tower of Beishi, Xue Yue looked at the gray military uniforms that filled his entire field of vision and subconsciously looked at the commander-in-chief.

Everyone turned to look at the CEO.

Everyone present knew beforehand that the true strength of the New Three Armies was completely different from what it appeared to be.

Everyone knows that the new Third Army has 200,000 troops, comprising six army groups!

But when it actually happened, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock!

Everyone present had commanded a force of 200,000, including the commander-in-chief at his peak, when the Eighth Route Army in the entire Jin-Sui region exceeded 80,000.

But it was nothing compared to the shock of what was happening right before our eyes!

This force of 200,000 is truly a formidable army!

They were equipped with standard-issue gear, possessed a large number of light and heavy firepower, and moved in a neat and orderly manner, demonstrating clear distinctions in combat tactics.

Especially the force of over two thousand men at the front, who were all armed with heavy individual weapons.

With over two thousand submachine guns, their power at close range far surpasses that of any artillery shell, turning them into harvesters.
