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

"Don't even mention Li Zhongren, ten Li Zhongrens wouldn't be enough to defeat the New Third Front Army!"

"Don't worry! This battle won't break out!"

"And it doesn't affect us at all!"

Bai Congxi waved his hand to interrupt.

Deploying troops at Shanhaiguan was more like deploying troops than actually defending it!

It's more like a performance for Chongqing!

However, overall, Li Zhongren's situation is a problem!

"Report, Commander!"

Just as the deputy was about to speak!

The communicator's voice suddenly rang out again.

"speak!"

Bai Congxi frowned and gestured.

"commander!"

"A large combat force has been spotted ahead!"

"Combat troops?"

"Could it be the Japanese devils?"

The deputy spoke up instinctively.

But then he shook his head.

After the Kwantung Army was defeated and withdrew from the area outside the Great Wall, there was no trace of the Japanese soldiers near Shanhaiguan!

"Speak quickly!"

Bai Congxi said with a displeased expression.

"commander!"

"It looks like Commander Li's troops!"

The correspondent scratched his head and said.

"Commander Li?"

"Li Zhongren's Third Army Group?"

"Correct!"

"Commander! Judging from the timeline, Commander Li should have already crossed Rehe Province, arrived at Shanhaiguan, and deployed his troops!"

"How is this going?"

The deputy looked on incredulously.

After the messenger finished speaking, not only the deputy but also Bai Congxi were dumbfounded!

Could it be that Li Zhongren deserted his post?

I'm thinking about it!

"Report, Commander!"

"Commander Li requests an audience!"

The communicator's voice rang out again.

……

"What did you say?"

"29th Army?"

Inside the temporary command room, Bai Congxi shouted out instinctively!

Even after he tried countless explanations, he still couldn't come up with one.

Everything before our eyes is related to the 29th Army!

Although the 29430th Army was also part of the mountain city combat order!

But it has always remained on the fringes!

They withdrew from Taipei as early as after the first Battle of Taipei!

The next time news of the 29th Army was received was during the Battle of Qindao!

The 29th Army intercepted the remnants of Yoshijiro Umezu's troops who were trying to retreat into Qindao Port!

Despite the heavy casualties, they ultimately made a remarkable contribution!

Subsequently, the New Third Army launched a swift and decisive attack, wiping out the entire Kwantung Army.

They withdrew from the Qindao area!

Could it be that the 29th Army is deploying in the Qindao area?

Seemingly sensing Bai Congxi's guess, Li Zhongren nodded and said, "The Qindao area is indeed the garrison area of ​​the 29th Army!"

"Not only that, but they also built a large number of defensive positions!"

"I have negotiated with Song Zeyuan to take over the Qindao area!"

"But he rejected me!"

"But just yesterday! The 29th Army, for some unknown reason, ordered us to withdraw from the Qindao area!"

"And the two sides were locked in a standoff for over an hour!"

Li Zhongren suppressed his anger and said.

"Confrontation?"

"yesterday?"

Bai Congxi frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"Zhongren! Song Zeyuan shouldn't have the guts, right?"

"And then there's the strength of the 29th Army..."

"No! The 29th Army today is no ordinary force!"

"Or rather, even if you and I combined our strengths, we might not be able to gain the upper hand from him!"

Then, as if remembering something, Li Zhongren said with a solemn expression.

"You and me combined?"

"That's unlikely!"

Bai Congxi immediately frowned as well.

Everyone knows the true strength of the 29th Army; in terms of weaponry and equipment, it was only slightly better than the previous Eighth Route Army.

After all, everyone knows that the Eighth Route Army now consists of more than just the group from northwestern Shanxi!

And then there's the behemoth that is the New Third Front Army!

They were genuine Eighth Route Army units!

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes!"

"I won't believe it either!"

"But the fact is, the 29th Army far surpasses you and me in both manpower and weaponry!"

"The most important thing is Song Zeyuan's attitude!"

Li Zhongren said in a deep voice.

"So what do you mean?"

Bai Congxi said in a deep voice.

The sudden strength of the 29th Army must have been due to a large amount of weaponry and equipment, coupled with the fact that the 29th Army had once sent troops to intercept the Kwantung Army at Qindao Port!

He was already certain that the New Third Front Army was involved!

As for whether the 29th Army is like us, I estimate there's an 80% chance!

Therefore, Bai Congxi was not too worried at this moment!

"Let's contact the mountain city by phone first!"

After a moment of contemplation, Li Zhongren spoke.

To go to war with the 29th Army?

First of all, let's set aside whether he could win or not. Even if he could, he wouldn't dare!
