After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

"But there is another problem. Many of our troops are scattered all over Kanto, and they have to face the pursuit and interception of the Japanese. Our speed will definitely be much slower."

"But I guarantee that they will arrive one after another!" Chen Zheng straightened his back and said confidently.

He was not worried about the safety of those troops. There was no need to worry. Those who had been able to survive the Japanese encirclement and suppression for so many years were not easy to deal with.

At most, the Japanese would notice it and there would be a large-scale troop mobilization across the three provinces of Kanto.

"Good! Well done!" Wang Ke also had a smile on his face.

These 70,000 troops do not include many newly expanded troops.

This converts to 70,000 regular troops!

Once the weapons and equipment catch up, we can fight the Japanese head-on!

From the perspective of organization, the highest-level unit is Chen Zheng’s 35th Division, and the rest are mostly brigade-level and regiment-level units.

For the New First Front Army, all of this can be absorbed and reorganized without any pressure.

Once the troops are reorganized, it will be an elite force of nearly 160,000!

In the Battle of Taiyuan, the Independent Brigade had only 60,000 troops, but it dared to go head-on with Kazuo Shinozuka's five field divisions.

Compared to today, the overall strength has more than doubled.

Of course, the biggest problem right now is time.

It will take time for the New First Front Army to reorganize and absorb this group of troops, and it will also take time for Chu Yunfei's 10th Division to mechanize.

"Haha! Wang Ke, don't be too happy. You will be busy when the time comes!" Qin Feng smiled slightly.

He was certainly happy about the arrival of 70,000 Northeastern troops, but what really made him happy was that the Northeastern Army's fighting spirit had not been worn out by years of hard struggle, but had become even more determined!

Weapons and equipment can be obtained through various means, but a troop with fighting spirit is precious!

This kind of troops are truly elite!

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I've been ready for a long time!" Wang Ke's eyes were filled with smiles.

She put in a lot of effort to receive the remnants of the Northeast Army. Although the number of people fluctuated, it had no overall impact.

"Okay!" Qin Feng nodded and turned to look at Chen Zheng.

"Chen Zheng, let me ask you, do you have the confidence to continue the glory of the Northeast Army?" Qin Feng asked seriously.

Chen Zheng was stunned: "Commander Qin, what do you mean?"

"The New First Army has been reorganized into the New First Front Army during this period. I believe that the spirit of the Northeast Army should not be lost in the dust of history!"

"Even if you join the New First Front Army, my decision is to retain an army group combat organization composed mainly of the former Northeast Army in the New First Front Army!" Qin Feng said slowly.

"Captain Qin... No, Commander-in-Chief!" Chen Zheng was stunned in place, "What do you mean?"

At this moment, Chen Zheng felt an inexplicable surge of surprise in his heart!

Keep their establishment?

Originally, he was mentally prepared after agreeing to Commander Qin in front of him. After all, the Northeast Army is now in name only, and the largest organization is the 35th Division in his hands.

Although everyone was reluctant, they were also prepared to be incorporated into the New First Front Army after being disbanded.

After all, since you have joined them, it is the most normal situation.

But now?

"Cooperate well with Minister Wang and carry out the work." Qin Feng patted Chen Zheng on the shoulder.

After a pause, Chen Zheng responded loudly, "Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

......

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

After Chen Zheng left, Qin Feng looked at the other two unfamiliar faces.

The other two were also very sensible and spoke at the same time.

"You two are Peng Hong and Feng Tiancai, right?"

Qin Feng looked the two of them up and down and spoke.

"Peng Hong, former supreme commander of the Northeastern Navy!"

"Feng Tiancai, former captain of the First Flying Squadron of the Northeastern Air Force!"

The two stood at attention and saluted, then introduced themselves loudly.

Before coming, they were clear about the unit they were going to join, and after agreeing to come to Fengtian, they had already considered themselves as part of the New First Front Army.

When the New First Army recaptured the Fengtian area with lightning speed, this force, which seemed to be sent down from heaven by God, was also investigated by some interested people.

I won’t say much about the battle of Taiyuan. He became famous in one battle and was feared throughout Daxia!

Captured alive the Japanese Lieutenant General Commander, Kazuo Shinozuka, the supreme commander of the First Army!

After that, he went north and took back the Fengtian Arsenal which belonged to the Xia Kingdom, and took advantage of his power to recapture the Fengtian area in one fell swoop!

Even without his previous glorious military exploits, this alone is enough to make all the soldiers in the three northeastern provinces follow the commander-in-chief without hesitation!

"I didn't expect that Chen Zheng would actually invite you out!" Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Peng Hong, who was in charge of the navy, had already transferred to the army, and Feng Tiancai of the air force had even left the military.

When the Northeast Army left, they not only lost a large number of weapons and equipment, but also a batch of fighter jets purchased by the old marshal from abroad, which was equivalent to giving them all to the Japanese.

But more importantly, the backbone and fighting spirit were lost!

"Commander-in-Chief! We have waited for this day for too long! I originally thought that I would never get this opportunity again in my lifetime!" Feng Tiancai clenched his fists and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Don't worry, this opportunity was earned by us Xia people ourselves!" Qin Feng looked at Feng Tiancai and said seriously.

"Feng Tiancai, let me ask you, if you were asked to form an air force, how long would it take to recover to its peak and fight the Japanese?"

Feng Tiancai quickly replied, "Commander-in-Chief! Although the air force stayed here when we entered the country, some have sacrificed their lives or left the battlefield over the years, and the overall number has dropped sharply. If they were all gathered together, there would probably be only two or three flight squadrons."

At its peak, the Northeast Army Air Force had more than 300 fighter planes and five aviation corps!

Compared with the past, the gap now is not a little bit.

What's more, so much time has passed. Even for the most skilled pilot, it will take some time to get back on track after so many years.

"Two or three flying squadrons?" Qin Feng frowned.

A flying squadron consists of 12 aircraft, so by this calculation, there are probably less than aircraft at most.

This is basically enough for the current Xia Kingdom, but it still cannot satisfy Qin Feng.

For the Air Force, it is too little!

As if he could see Qin Feng's disappointment, Feng Tiancai continued, "Commander-in-Chief, I heard from Lao Chen that the New First Front Army is planning to develop an air force, right?"

"Yeah." Qin Feng nodded.

Feng Tiancai paused for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not!"

"Say it!"

"Then I'll be frank!" Feng Tiancai organized his words and then said, "The organization of the Air Force is completely different from that of the Army!"

"To put it simply, the New Front Army can build a strong land force of more than 100,000 people in a short period of time, but the air force cannot!"

"The first thing that matters about the size of the air force is the pilots, which are a very scarce resource in the world. The training of any pilot requires a lot of material and financial resources!"

"The second thing is the aircraft! This not only requires quantity, but also the advancement of the aircraft, the command system, etc.!"

"Although the Northeast Army was known as the strongest in Xia Country, its combat effectiveness is..." Feng Tiancai hesitated to speak.

There are only a few factors that affect the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, and each of them is very important. No matter how skilled the pilots are, they cannot make up for the gap in aircraft performance and other aspects.

As if seeing Qin Feng lost in thought, Feng Tiancai spoke again: "Commander-in-Chief! In fact, the most important thing here is money, or resources!"

"The new First Front Army has good combat effectiveness, but after all, it was formed too recently and lacks accumulation and precipitation!"
