They relentlessly reaped the heads of the Kwantung Army, and in just a few breaths, they forcefully tore through the Kwantung Army's defenses.

After all, the artillery fire from not far away had been relentlessly bombarding the main force of the Kwantung Army for more than three rounds.

This is also the best time to attack.

This also demonstrates that there is no distinction between strong and weak in this army; even the weakest army group is several times stronger than the troops under the command of any individual present!

"I don't know either!"

"But Xie Jinyuan really wasn't lying!"

"Two hundred thousand troops!"

The boss laughed loudly.

There are four army groups near Taipei, with a total strength of over 140,000. Adding the 30,000 troops under Li Yunlong's command, the total is around 170,000.

If we also include the Sixth Army Group, which Xie Jinyuan mentioned had not yet entered the pass!

That was indeed an army of 200,000!

After the boss finished speaking slowly, Du Yuming's face turned a deep shade of liver.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that all those words were meant for him!

It was even more of a mockery of what he had said earlier.

"But boss! What is Xie Jinyuan trying to do?" After a pause, Xue Yue frowned and asked.

From a strategic perspective, the New Third Front Army held an absolute advantage at this time, encircling the Kwantung Army from the north and south.

However, the disparity in troop strength between the two sides was too great, making it impossible to achieve.

"Slice the battlefield!"

"Perhaps there's another reason, it's probably the reunion!"

Before the boss could speak, Bai Congxi shook his head.

Cutting the massive Kwantung Army in half is undoubtedly the best strategy at present, preventing the Kwantung Army from joining forces at both ends, and making it more effective to divide and annihilate it!

This is also the most common combat tactic used by the Eighth Route Army, only applied to such a large-scale war.

This is probably the first time such an event has occurred not only in the Eighth Route Army but also in the entire country of China.

After all, no one could withstand the Kwantung Army's attack head-on, let alone cut them off!

"Cut off the battlefield?"

"Meet up?" Du Yuming paused, his face turning extremely grim.

The sudden appearance of the new Third Army solved Taipei's predicament, but it also put him in a dilemma.

If these 200,000 troops were not so well-equipped and had such combat power.

He can even turn a blind eye!

But this army of 200,000 is a true army of 200,000, fully equipped with both light and heavy firepower.

Over a thousand artillery pieces in the entire army!

Standardized equipment!

Moreover, he could tell at a glance that these troops were basically all elite soldiers capable of fighting on the battlefield!

They are not just green recruits with numbers but no combat effectiveness.

In other words, all 200,000 of them are elite troops!

"chief of staff!"

The boss glanced at Du Yuming meaningfully, then turned around and shouted loudly.

"Boss!"

The deputy stepped forward and abruptly stood at attention.

"Give me the order!"

"All troops, assemble immediately and engage in battle!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm going to tear a piece of fat off the Kwantung Army!"

The boss spoke loudly, as if pointing something.

"Yes, sir!"

The deputy straightened his back and said.

"Everyone!"

"Xie Jinyuan's North-South strategy is nearing success!"

"The majority of the Kwantung Army is about to be ceded; if we delay any longer, we will miss a golden opportunity!"

"I'll take my leave now!"

The boss then turned around, bowed briefly, and quickly descended the city gate tower.

"Xie Jinyuan is truly unbelievable!"

After the boss left quickly, only Xue Yue, Du Yuming, and Bai Congxi remained at the scene.

Xue Yue couldn't help but shake his head.

With an army of 200,000, no one in the entire country can rival them.

In other words, the new three armies are now unparalleled in China.

"Commander Bai!"

"You know more about the new Third Army than we do!"

"The new Third Army has expanded its strength several times in such a short period of time, which is simply unbelievable!"

Du Yuming paused for a moment, then couldn't help but speak.

The exact number of troops the New Third Army had when it left the pass was clear. At the same time, the New Third Army was heading north to fight the Kwantung Army, but its strength has increased instead of decreased.

They achieved this level of combat power in such a short time!

"Actually, I only know a little more about the new Third Army than you do!"

That's all!

"However, there is probably only one explanation for the rapid expansion of the new three armies' forces in such a short period of time!"

After a moment of contemplation, Bai Congxi shook his head and said.

"Commander Bai, please speak!"

Du Yuming spoke up, indicating that...

"There are no greenhorns here!"

"Judging from their fighting style, they are undoubtedly veterans!"

"Commander Bai!"

"You mean reorganize?" Du Yuming suddenly realized and asked.

"Ok!"

"But Commander Bai!"

"In terms of troop strength, if reorganized, this already exceeds a full-strength army!"

"Whether it's outside the pass or inside the pass, you can count the number of troops with this strength on one hand!"

"Moreover, their troop strength far exceeds that of the original New Third Army. Who would willingly be reorganized into the New Third Army?" Du Yuming said, frowning.

Most importantly, a force of 60,000 men, roughly twice his own strength, is something Xie Jinyuan, even in his madness, would never do.

After all, this will diminish Xie Jinyuan's influence within the new Third Army in some respects!

The best outcome would be the emergence of multiple voices within the new three-army system; the worst outcome would be the collapse of the new three-army system from within.

"No!"

"Commander Du!"

"It's not impossible!"

"Xie Jinyuan is resourceful and decisive!"

"Also, they might not be available inside the pass, but it's hard to say outside!"

Bai Congxi hesitated before speaking.

"Outside the pass?"

Du Yuming frowned, clearly deep in thought, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "Commander Bai!"

"You're not talking about the former Northeast Army, are you?"
