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

He was very familiar with Xiaofengkou, as it was a strategically important and dangerous area.

The area suitable for marching was very narrow, low in the middle, and high on all sides.

Once subjected to widespread bombing, landslides and collapses are inevitable.

The suffering of General Inoue was probably even more severe.

After all, he knew Inoue's personality very well. He was a very strong-willed imperial soldier. If he hadn't been unable to march, he would never have said that he needed time to rest.

"Bagya Road!"

"Damn it!"

"That piece of trash Inoue!"

Umezu slammed his fist on the command table in front of him.

My eyes are splitting!

China's new Third Army had a large air force, so reinforcements would have required detachments, not the current situation.

"General!"

"What do we do now?"

After a pause, the deputy took a deep breath and said.

The situation has deteriorated to this point, and the outcome of the battle is now extremely unfavorable.

Moving forward or retreating both seem like dead ends.

"Notify me!"

"At all costs, completely destroy the defensive perimeter of the 29th Army of China!"

"Withdraw into the Qindao area!"

Umezu spoke with a fierce expression.

He can only gamble now, betting that the Chinese air force will not be able to carry out large-scale bombing again in the short term!

"Will……"

The deputy was about to say something, but when he looked up, he saw the coldness on the general's face.

He then suddenly straightened his back and said, "Hai!"

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"Things have changed!"

Inside the temporary land forces headquarters of the new Third Front Army, Duan Peng quickly pushed open the door and stood at attention in front of Zhao Gang.

"speak!"

Zhao Gang spoke up, indicating that...

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"Urgent intelligence from the front!"

"The Japanese have mobilized almost all of their troops to the vicinity of the 329 defense line!"

Duan Peng took a deep breath and said.

"Line 329?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback at first, then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"The 329th defense line was the main battlefield for the 29th Army!"

"It is also the best route into the Qindao area!"

"And Zhao Zhengwei, according to reports from the forward observation posts, the Japanese have once again abandoned their heavy equipment, and a large number of their heavy troops have switched to light equipment!"

"Currently, the friendly forces are facing considerable military pressure at the 329 defense line!"

Duan Peng paused for a moment before speaking.

In fact, it's not just bigger; compared to the main battlefields of the new Third Front Army, the pressure has become much less.

"No wonder!"

Li Yunlong, who was standing to the side, nodded in a deep voice.

Based on intelligence from the main battlefield, the Japanese have lost more than 80% of their forces; those remaining are merely there to buy time.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

Something's not right!

At this moment, Ding Wei couldn't help but interrupt.

"Old Ding! What's going on?"

"Old Li!"

"Judging from the situation on the battlefield, the main force of the Kwantung Army that we are holding back is definitely no less than 80,000!"

"And judging from their current movements, it seems more like..."

Ding Wei took a deep breath and said.

This is an elite force of 80,000. Although the Kwantung Army is large and powerful, it is probably not very likely.

Seemingly noticing Ding Wei's confusion, "Old Ding!"

"You can't reason with those Japanese devils!"

"In my opinion, those 80,000 Japanese soldiers are probably going to become cannon fodder!"

Zhou Weiguo paused for a moment before speaking.

"Wei Guo! You mean cannon fodder?"

Li Yunlong spoke up instinctively.

"Ok!"

"But that's not entirely accurate. Rather than cannon fodder, they were more like people cutting off an arm to survive!"

"Compared to the majority of the Kwantung Army, it's only 80,000 troops. As long as the main force is still intact, Umezu will have a day when he can rise again!"

"After all, abandoning a lot of weight and switching from heavy to light equipment is obvious enough!"

Zhou Weiguo shook his head.

This is a major taboo on the battlefield, and it is also a last-ditch effort, further demonstrating that the Japanese soldiers have lost their fighting spirit.

"Ok!"

Zhao Gang nodded in a deep voice.

"Commissioner Zhao!"

"The situation of the 29th Army is worrying, even though Old Li's tank regiment is still there!"

"But there are just too many troops!"

"Our air force cannot reinforce position 329 again in a short period of time!"

After a moment of contemplation, Ding Wei spoke with a solemn expression.

It's not that the New Third Front Army isn't providing reinforcements, but rather that the troop deployment of the entire New Third Front Army has reached its limit.

At the same time, due to the limitations of marching speed, the main force was unable to cross the rear of the Kwantung Army to provide reinforcements.

The tank regiment of the Second Army Group was already at its maximum capacity.

After all, the entire New Third Front Army is now implementing the comprehensive encirclement and suppression strategy issued by the Commander-in-Chief, which emphasizes the balance of forces among its various units.

The Japanese are clearly planning to make a large-scale breakthrough from this point.

After Ding Wei finished speaking...

Everyone's expression changed drastically in an instant.

If the 29th Army really can't withstand the pressure, then everything it has done will be in vain.

"Notify Zhang Dabiao!"

"We can't hold this position any longer, we must abandon it!"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Gang slowly spoke.

"Abandon the position?"

"Abandon the position?"

"Abandon the position?"

"Commander-in-Chief Zhao! You don't mean to let the Japanese retreat into the Qindao area, do you?"
