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

Special operations forces?

The deputy looked puzzled.

This is the first time I've heard this term.

"I don't know the specifics either!"

"But all indications suggest that this force is more like an elite combat force from ancient times, or even the elite of the elite!"

"Each one is one in a million!"

"In other words, there is absolutely no danger without large-scale battlefield coverage!"

"This must be the source of Commander Xie's confidence, and Zhang Dabiao's confidence as well!"

After a moment of contemplation, Song Zeyuan began to explain.

His understanding of the special forces was also superficial, limited to some clues that had emerged in recent wars involving the new Third Army.

This special forces team also performed exceptionally well, having destroyed the command center led by Yoshio Shinotsuka during the previous Taiyuan campaign.

You see, when he first heard the news, he didn't take it seriously. After all, according to intelligence, this special forces team only had about a hundred men. But now it seems to be true.

"commander!"

"If that's the case, then what exactly is Commander Xie going to Qindao for?"

At this moment, the deputy couldn't help but ask curiously.

The two divisions stationed in the Qindao area have been reinforced to the front lines, so to be honest, the Qindao area is now vulnerable in the rear.

Going there wouldn't make any difference.

This is one of them.

Secondly, it is even more impossible that Commander Xie infiltrated the Qindao area in advance to lay the groundwork for later battles or to build defensive positions to intercept the retreating Japanese troops.

Although the commander is right, a force of a hundred or so men, no matter how strong their individual combat capabilities are, cannot possibly withstand a force of hundreds or thousands of times their size.

"I don't know!"

"Bian Yong!"

"Did Zhang Dabiao mention that he used to be your subordinate?"

Then Song Zeyuan turned to look at Bian Yongdao, who was standing to the side.

"commander!"

No, not at all!

"You know! Although Zhang Dabiao came from the Big Sword Team, that was a long time ago!"

"And now Zhang Dabiao is also..."

Bian Yong smiled bitterly.

The chief of staff of the Second Army Group had a higher rank than him.

"But Commander!"

"Although this matter wasn't mentioned, Zhang Dabiao did mention something else!"

At this moment, Bian Yong suddenly remembered something.

"what's up?"

"commander!"

"The new Third Front Army may not be as simple as it seems!"

Bian Yong paused, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What do you mean?"

"commander!"

"The total strength of the New Third Front Army should be far more than the two hundred thousand we know!"

Bian Yong took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.

"More than two hundred thousand?"

Song Zeyuan seemed not to have heard clearly, and asked again with wide eyes.

"Yes!"

"commander!"

"If what Zhang Dabiao said is true, the total strength of the new Third Front Army should now be around 25 to 28!"

Bian Yong said in a deep voice.

"25 to 28?"

Song Zeyuan was instinctively shocked.

He frowned immediately, then quickly shook his head, "That's impossible!"

He clearly remembered the last telegram, sent from Shancheng, which described the entire strength of the New Third Front Army.

How long has it been since?

Expansion by more than one-fifth?

Or perhaps there was a problem with the telegrams from the mountain city?

This is even more impossible.

"commander!"

"It should be true!"

"Because I heard about the 23rd Group Army from Zhang Dabiao!"

Bian Yong quickly spoke up.

"The 23rd Army Group?"

"Commander! Isn't the 23rd Army a Sichuan Army?"

The deputy couldn't help but interject.

"It's the Sichuan Army!"

Bian Yong nodded in a deep voice.

"This shouldn't be the case!"

"commander!"

"The fighting power of the Sichuan Army..."

The deputy frowned.

The Sichuan Army had a large number of troops, but its combat effectiveness was not satisfactory.

First, their combat skills were poor; second, their weaponry was subpar; and third, their performance in combat was extremely poor.

He was even known as the "Double-Gun General".

And what about the new Third Front Army?

With guns and men, they won battle after battle.

It can be said that everyone in China knows him.

According to Zhang Dabiao, is the new Third Front Army really going to reorganize the 23rd Group Army of the Sichuan Army?

"Not necessarily dust!"

"The new Third Front Army has a large stockpile of weapons and strong combat capabilities!"

"Even if the Sichuan Army is reorganized, it will not have a significant impact on the New Third Front Army!"

"But if Commander Xie is really determined to reorganize the Sichuan Army, then this battle might not be so simple after all!"

"Commander! What do you mean?"

"After this battle, the 29th Army will only have one way to retreat!"

Song Zeyuan took a deep breath and shook his head.

"The only way out?"

"Commander! What is this?" Song Zeyuan's words stunned not only his deputy but also Bian Yong, who was standing to the side.

"nothing!"

"Follow the plan!"

"No matter what happens in the future, not a single member of the Kwantung Army must be allowed to retreat into the Qin Island area!"

Song Zeyuan waved his hand to interrupt with a solemn expression.
