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

Chapter 240 Time to dispatch troops! The Wan Guandong Army is not a force to be reckoned with!

Faced with the man's confusion, Officer Dai nodded affirmatively: "Yes, sir!"

"The firepower of the New 29st Army is too strong. The th Division was suppressed and had no power to fight back!"

With a force of just over 30,000, they managed to defeat an elite division of the Japanese!

You must know that before this, the entire Taiyuan had reached the most critical moment. Once the red soil slope was opened, each unit would be forced to block the muzzle of the gun with their chest.

Just after the arrival of the New 1st Army, the situation on the Hongtuopo battlefield was immediately under complete control under five or six rounds of intensive firepower.

The most benefited from the powerful firepower unit in the hands of the New First Army, also known as the Rocket Force!

Their Shancheng General Staff, including the United States military advisers, have been able to assert that this weapon has become the most lethal weapon in large-scale combat systems in the world!

It is hard to imagine how Qin Feng managed to equip himself with such advanced equipment in large quantities.

When Officer Dai finished speaking, the man frowned, obviously thinking about something.

"Sir, do you think we should intervene?" Officer Dai asked tentatively after a slight pause.

It was he who persuaded his superiors when the New First Army entered the Pass, but now he no longer dared to say good things about the New First Army.

"Report sir!"

"There is important information!"

Suddenly at this moment, the voice of a communications soldier suddenly sounded from outside the door.

Then he turned pale and trotted up to the man.

"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" Officer Dai frowned and said unhappily.

"Commander...Commander! I just received a telegram that the Kwantung Army has begun to move. They are on the move!" said the signalman breathlessly.

"What did you say? The Kwantung Army is about to enter the pass?" The man stood up suddenly and said in disbelief.

"Sir! They haven't left the border yet, but their vanguard has already left Jilin Province in a big way!" said the signalman with a pale face.

"How could it happen so fast?" Officer Dai also began to panic. "Sir, what should we do now?"

The Kwantung Army's entry into the pass was a foregone conclusion, but no one expected it to happen at this critical juncture. After all, the Taiyuan Campaign had not yet ended.

"I'm afraid Umezu Mijiro can't hold it back anymore!" After pondering for a moment, the man shook his head and sighed.

According to their previous inferences, even if the Kwantung Army entered the pass, it should be after the end of the Taiyuan Campaign, or after Taiyuan was captured by the 29th Division.

At least the situation has to be clear, right?

But what was unexpected was that Umezu Mijiro did not play by the rules at all and started to mobilize troops without any warning.

"Commander! You said that the New First Army just entered the pass, and the Kwantung Army followed closely behind. The two troops actually entered the pass one after the other." Officer Dai frowned.

For some reason, he would subconsciously associate many things with the New First Army.

"You mean, the New First Army and the Kwantung Army reached some kind of agreement?" The man narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

But then he waved his hand again and said with certainty: "There is no way Qin Feng will have any problems."

If there is something wrong with Qin Feng, it would be impossible for him to reinforce Taiyuan.

Moreover, the number of Japanese soldiers who died at Qin Feng's hands was basically counted in the thousands or tens of thousands.

"Sir! That's not what I meant. What I wanted to say is that the Kwantung Army seems to be deliberately avoiding a head-on confrontation with the New First Army." Officer Dai spoke quickly.

Prior to this, they learned that the New First Army seemed to have fought several major battles in the Kanto region.

"That's unlikely!" The man shook his head. "The New First Army is certainly strong, but that's 700,000-man Kwantung Army!"

Although the New First Army was strong, many signs showed that it was not doing well in Kanto and did not achieve the desired results.

In terms of military strength, there were also many casualties.

Although they entered the pass at the same time, there is an explanation, that is, it was a coincidence, or Umezu Michiro intended to liquidate together with the Yamashiro troops and the New First Army in the pass.

"Forget it! There is no point in saying more. Pass the order to Xue Yue immediately!"

"Order the First Army to be fully prepared for all-out war to deal with the Kwantung Army troops heading south!" the man said in a deep voice.

The most important thing now is to deal with the 700,000 Kwantung Army heading south. Everything else can be put aside for the time being!

"Yes! Sir!" Officer Dai said quickly.

......

Kwantung Army Provisional Headquarters.

"Report to the Commander!"

"Colonel Yoshimoto's advance troops have arrived in the Fengtian area, and will conduct a large-scale investigation of the Fengtian area in a short period of time!"

"No evidence of Xia's armed forces was found!"

The deputy stood respectfully in front of Umezu Mijiro and reported quickly.

As if seeing that the commander was still in deep thought, the deputy continued: "General!"

"According to the intelligence analysis we have obtained, the New First Army has about 30,000 troops in Taiyuan."

"This should be the vanguard that arrived first. The rest of the New First Army is still on the way."

Three days ago, the Battle of Taiyuan broke out. The Xia armed forces entrenched in the Fengtian area quickly entered the pass and took away all weapons and equipment, including the strongest firepower unit.

"Thirty thousand people? That shouldn't be the case!" Umezu Mijiro frowned slightly and said to himself.

The other side worked so hard to take over the Fengtian area, but they just gave it up like that?

You should know that there is also a Fengtian Arsenal that produces equipment continuously.

His original plan was to gather 600,000 troops and directly push forward to encircle and wipe out the Xia State’s armed forces in the entire Fengtian area.

It doesn't matter if he can't annihilate them in the first place. He can still force them back into the pass. After defeating the New First Army, he can take advantage of the situation and destroy the first line of defense set up by Shancheng at Shanhaiguan!

"Commander! As far as I know, most of the Xia Kingdom's new army comes from Jin Province, and in this battle, the Central Plains War Zone coalition forces almost destroyed the entire Taiyuan."

"It is impossible for the New 1st Army not to return to provide support," the deputy added.

"Yeah!" Mei Jin nodded calmly, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Commander, do we need to send a large army to sweep the Fengtian area next?" the deputy continued.

"Leave enough troops behind to conduct a thorough investigation, and the rest of the army will directly bypass Fengtian and enter the pass!" After thinking for a moment, Mei Jin waved his hand.

Now the Fengtian area is deserted, and there is no need for a large force to spend time doing things in Fengtian.

As for thoroughly investigating the entire Liao Province, the first thing is that they don't have much time left.

The second reason is that he has enough confidence that even if there are remnants of the Xia army, they are destined to be of no consequence!

"Hayi!"

The deputy bent down suddenly.

......

New First Front Army Marine Department.

At this time, inside the Marine Division, a group of commanders were lined up neatly.

Sitting at the front were the army group commanders, and behind them were the chiefs of staff of each army group.

Zhou Weiguo, Ding Wei, Yang Song, Chen Zheng, Wang Chengzhu and others are all very familiar faces.

There are also some new faces.

"Commander-in-Chief! Just received a telegram!"

"Mei Jin has mobilized 600,000 troops to march south, and their vanguard is about to leave Liao Province!"

Zhao Gang quickly came up to Qin Feng and reported loudly.

"Six hundred thousand? Commander-in-chief, this old devil Mei Jin is so brave!" Yang Song couldn't help but frowning.

The total strength of the entire Kwantung Army was only over 700,000, and 600,000 were directly mobilized to enter the pass, which means that there were still about 100,000 Japanese soldiers left in Kanto.

"Commander-in-chief! This is a rare opportunity!" Zhou Weiguo stood up suddenly and spoke.

As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, he seemed to have given a signal, and everyone present became excited unconsciously.
