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

"This Commander Xie is unfathomable!"

Song Zeyuan shook his head at the same time.

To put it bluntly, this battle was a unique showcase for the new Third Front Army.

The cornerstone that ultimately laid the foundation for victory was the New Third Front Army's decisive victory over a large number of tank units under Umejin's command.

Another factor was the sudden appearance of the air force by the new Third Front Army, which seized air superiority.

The firepower of the New Third Army was far superior to that of the Kwantung Army.

In addition, it has considerable military strength!

A full two hundred thousand!

Even Song Zeyuan couldn't figure out where the New Third Army had gotten its 200,000 troops from.

"really!"

"But Commander!"

"According to the telegram, the Kwantung Army has already completely retreated!"

"It will definitely pass through our defense zone!"

"Look at this..." The deputy paused, then hesitated before speaking.

Judging from the direction of retreat, the Kwantung Army was bound to retreat to the Hata Island area.

The 29th Army knows better than anyone what's in the Qindao area.

There were at least two Japanese fleets in Qindao Port.

Once most of the Kwantung Army safely retreated to the Qin Island area, all their efforts would have been in vain.

"The Chairman has arrived in Taipei!"

After taking a deep breath, Song Zeyuan spoke with a solemn expression.

Although the 29th Army has long since left Taipei, it still has many informants in the city.

He was very clear about the person from the mountain town who had arrived in Taipei.

As for what to do?

it goes without saying.

"That commander!"

"what do you mean?"

Should we remain inactive?

The deputy couldn't help but speak up.

"commander!"

"With the current strength of the new Third Army, plus our understanding of Commander Xie!"

Seemingly noticing the commander's hesitation, the deputy continued.

"report!"

"commander!"

"Important intelligence!"

Just as Song Zeyuan was silent for a moment, the messenger's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"speak!"

"commander!"

"This is...this is terrible!"

"Wow...so many Japanese devils!"

"A large number of Japanese soldiers have appeared in our defense zone, about thirty miles away!"

"A large number of Japanese soldiers?"

"Correct!"

"The troop strength is constantly increasing, and it is probably no less than 100,000 now!"

"However, Commander, their behavior is rather unusual, as if they've suffered a defeat!"

The correspondent spoke tremblingly.

Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers, and the number is rapidly increasing.

Nobody knows exactly how many Japanese soldiers there are!

"Commander! Could this be..."

"No need to say it!"

"It must be the Kwantung Army!"

Song Zeyuan waved his hand to interrupt.

"Really the Kwantung Army?"

"So fast?"

The deputy swallowed hard, almost unconsciously.

It was only two days before they were able to hold onto the battlefield in Taipei.

In the past two days, most of the Kwantung Army has already withdrawn from Taipei to the vicinity of the Qindao area.

"commander!"

"What do we do now?" After a pause, the deputy asked, forcing himself to speak.

Letting the Japanese invaders retreat into the Qindao area is a betrayal of their military identity.

We feel even more sorry for the 400 million people of China.

But what if we send troops?

Judging from the battlefield situation, the remaining strength of the entire Kwantung Army was probably no less than 450,000.

That is to say, their troop strength is nearly fifty times that of our side.

"How far are the Japanese devils from our defense zone?" After a moment of contemplation, Song Zeyuan quickly asked.

"Return to the commander!"

"Less than thirty kilometers left!"

"so!"

"Notify all departments to construct minefields and booby traps along major roads!"

"At the same time, we will take advantage of the terrain to block the retreat of the Kwantung Army!"

Song Zeyuan spoke slowly.

As soon as Song Zeyuan finished speaking, his deputy's eyes lit up instantly.

Since neither side can be offended, the commander's current measure is the most appropriate.

After all, even if Commander Xie of the New Third Army came, he could still make an excuse to intercept him.

However, the Kwantung Army was too powerful.

As for the mountain city, they won't make a big deal out of it, since the entire 29th Army didn't deploy a large number of troops.

"But Commander!"

"I think we should give it a try..."

"There's no chance!"

The deputy was interrupted by Song Zeyuan's wave of his hand before he could finish speaking.

He understood his deputy's meaning perfectly; as a soldier himself, he was constantly thinking about this situation.

After all, Commander Xie of the New Third Army had laid all the groundwork, and now the final encirclement and annihilation was about to begin.

If the encirclement and suppression is successful, this is a force of 600,000 Kwantung Army soldiers.

This is enough to leave a significant mark on the history of China.

But the fact that the 29th Army has survived to this day is because he is still clear-headed.

With the strength of the 29th Army, there was no way it could stop the majority of the Kwantung Army in front of it.

Of course, there is another reason: the new three armies and the mountain city could not possibly be safe and sound.

Whether or not the 29th Army should send troops into this battle was a huge problem.

Even if we win, there will be no benefit to us.

And if you lose, there are...!

The mountain city will surely be purged, and even he faces the risk of being executed.
