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

"Using China as a fulcrum, we can quickly leverage the entire Chinese continent!"

"And even the whole world!"

MacArthur spoke meaningfully.

"The whole world?"

Not only William, but also many of the commanders standing nearby were stunned!

"Will……"

"The Chinese are arrogant, thinking they can get the empire's soldiers to do their bidding!"

"And even reap the benefits without sowing!"

"But they could never have imagined that the empire's strategic target was never the island nation!"

MacArthur began slowly.

After MacArthur finished speaking, all the commanders were dumbfounded once again!

But excitement followed immediately!

"General!"

"So that's what they were after!"

William said, his face full of excitement.

I initially thought the Empire's military campaign was a complete waste of resources and manpower, but now it seems...

Especially after the general finished speaking, the empire's previous actions became clear!

This includes stationing troops at the 440 key passes in Changsha, all in preparation for future operations!

"Ok!"

"But General!"

"So, are we now fighting the island nation's army?" William suddenly realized and asked.

After all, although the outcome is now decided, our side is still pursuing the troops under Gangcun!

But this action is clearly inconsistent with the general's statement!

Moreover, the real beneficiaries will be the Chinese, and even the fighting nation and European countries!

"continue!"

"The time is not right yet!"

MacArthur shook his head.

"Yes! General!"

William nodded and said in a deep voice.

I was just about to ask something!

"Report! General MacArthur!"

The messenger's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"speak!"

Seeing the communications officer standing at attention in front of him, MacArthur spoke up.

"Reporting to the General!"

"Breaking intelligence: A large number of troops have been redeployed from the western front of the combat nation!"

"And troops are also rapidly assembling in other areas!"

"The total troop strength has exceeded 400,000!"

"Their specific movements are unclear!"

The correspondent quickly spoke up.

"Four hundred thousand?"

"General, what is the Battle Nation planning?"

William was interrupted by MacArthur's wave before he could finish speaking.

"William!"

"General!"

William suddenly straightened his back.

"Send the order!"

"All troops shall advance north and capture all major cities and strategic locations in China!"

"Abandon the southward march!"

"With Changsha as the southernmost point, construct a north-south defensive line!"

"Expand strategic depth!"

MacArthur spoke in a deep voice.

"General!"

"Then what about island nations?" William subconsciously swallowed.

Giving up the southward expansion is tantamount to giving the island nation a chance to catch its breath.

You have to understand that island nations will definitely insist on keeping their supply lines open!

But after subconsciously meeting the general's cold gaze!

"Yes!"

William then shouted.

……

"asshole!"

"Song Zeyuan has gone too far!"

Along the Qindao area leading to the border of Hebei Province, figures were rapidly retreating!

And behind!

They were just huge lumps of steel!

Without a doubt, it was Li Zhongren!

"commander!"

"We have reached the border of Hebei Province!"

"If we're judging by the timeline, the Jin-Sui Army should be arriving soon!"

The deputy subconsciously took a breath and said.

As the commander had predicted, the battle ended after the 29th Army's heavy firepower arrived!

The original positions had not been bombed at all!

Fortunately, the commander finally ordered the abandonment of the position and a rapid retreat!

However, the 29th Army fought very hard and suffered heavy casualties!

"How many of us are left?"

Li Zhongren suddenly turned his head, his eyes already bloodshot!

Although he lost this battle, he was unwilling to accept it!

Ultimately, it was Bai Congxi who tricked him!

This led to a hasty deployment of troops!

But it's no use thinking about these things now!

"Return to the commander!"

"The 29th Army is holding on very tightly!"

"After their heavy firepower caught up, we suffered more than a third of our casualties in several positional battles!"

"As for our heavy firepower, it was almost completely wiped out!"

The deputy said with a bitter expression.

By now, the casualties are probably more than a third of the total, since it's even more impossible to count casualties at this point!

Once morale wavers, utter defeat is not far off!

"Asshole!"

"Song Zeyuan is courting death!"

Li Zhongren said with a gloomy expression.
