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

"Then Commander-in-Chief, I don't understand, since Li Zhongren is quite powerful, why didn't he send troops earlier?" Li Yunlong asked puzzledly.

With the troops in Li Zhongren's hands, even if he could not defeat the 29th Division Coalition Forces, he could at least enter a stalemate phase and prevent the Second War Zone from suffering heavy losses.

But the reality is that the Second War Zone resisted alone and sacrificed so many soldiers in vain, while the Fifth War Zone just stood by and watched!

"I guess Shancheng had given the order in advance, but he just used Li Zongren as a trump card and hid after the New First Army entered the pass. After all, Shancheng was on guard against us." Qin Feng shook his head.

He saw very clearly the intention of the Fifth War Zone. It was nothing more than a backup plan to contain the New First Army when it was preparing to march north.

By then, with the Fifth War Zone behind, Du Yuming, Xue Yue and Bai Chongxi will join forces to completely encircle the New First Army.

No matter whether the Kwantung Army can resist in the end, if it cannot, it will release the Second Front. But the prerequisite is that the New First Army must be buried in the Second Front!

What’s interesting is that Qin Feng can catch a big fish with just a random move!

"Oh, right, Commander-in-Chief! The Japanese are now fleeing to the north. If we attack them rashly, will something unexpected happen?" Li Yunlong paused and said.

In the process of reaching the second front from Taiyuan, the Third Army alone was unable to defeat the remaining Japanese coalition forces.

By then, their First Army will not only have to face the Japanese coalition forces in the Central Plains theater, but will also have to confront the Kwantung Army in advance!

The risks are enormous and it is also very unfavorable to their strategic deployment.

After all, judging from the telegrams sent back by various units, the other four armies of the New First Front Army would not enter the pass that quickly.

"No! It's just what I want that these devils are heading north. Otherwise, I don't know when Du Yuming will take action!" Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Commander-in-chief, are you saying that we should use this group of devils to force Du Yuming's Fifth Army to take action?" Li Yunlong suddenly reacted.

"Yes! As long as Du Yuming's Fifth Army is dispatched, the Japanese Army Aviation will definitely move!"

"Once the Kwantung Army mobilizes its aviation force, we will have an 80% chance of winning this battle!" Qin Feng said with great certainty.

Michijiro Umezu was targeting the Fifth Army, but wasn't he also targeting the Kwantung Army Aviation?

"Monk!"

"To!"

"Tell someone to prepare the car immediately. It's time to meet Bai Chongxi!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

......

"Commander Yan! There's a telegram from Shancheng!"

"It's a commendation telegram!"

In the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army’s Supreme Headquarters, Commander Yan’s deputy quickly walked into the office with a telegram in hand.

"This kid Qin Feng is really interesting!" Commander Yan said meaningfully.

If he didn't understand Qin Feng's plain text telegram before, what was his plan?

Now it seems that he has figured out something.

"And Commander Yan, in addition to the commendation order, you also have to order the Second War Zone to move north immediately!" said the deputy with a bitter look on his face.

Now more than one-third of the casualties in the Second War Zone have occurred, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, as the main force in the Second War Zone, is in an even more serious situation!

All the family assets and trump cards were exposed and basically drained out!

Shancheng is planning to push the Second War Zone to death!

"Yeah!" Commander Yan nodded expressionlessly.

He glanced at the commendation letter again, his expression becoming even more gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"What's Qin Feng doing?" Commander Yan said with a grim face.

"Commander Yan! I am just about to report to you! The New 1st Army has already moved forward!" the deputy spoke quickly.

"Pass on my order! The Second War Zone must assemble at full speed and follow the New First Army northward. There must be no mistakes!" Commander Yan said suddenly.

"Yes! Commander Yan!"

"But Commander Yan, what about the Eighth Route Army?" the deputy suddenly thought.

"No need to notify! Qin Feng will handle it naturally!" Commander Yan waved his hand to interrupt.

Qin Feng had discussed this with him before. Although the Eighth Route Army was quite powerful, it was obviously not enough to get involved in this vortex!

After all, Li Yunlong's generals who were from the Eighth Route Army had already gone north, so even if we wanted to investigate in detail, it was completely understandable.

To put it another way, he believed in Qin Feng's decision.

"Yes! Commander Yan!"

......

The Fifth Army Supreme Headquarters in Taipei.

At this time, Du Yuming was standing in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.

"How far is the First Army from us now?" Du Yuming suddenly looked up and looked at his deputy.

"Commander! We are less than 40 kilometers away now!" the deputy replied quickly, then paused and said, "Commander, are we really going to stay put?"

Currently, the closest army to the First Army is the Fifth Army, which can quickly dispatch to rescue Xue Yue's troops.

Now, the First Army is suffering from casualties every minute and every second. If this continues, it won’t be long before this unit is declared to have lost its combat effectiveness!

"Alas! Although I am reluctant, my superiors have given orders that we cannot act rashly without the order to send troops!" Du Yuming shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

"But Commander!" The deputy was about to say something, but was interrupted by Du Yuming's wave of his hand.

"I know what you want to say! But military orders are as heavy as mountains and cannot be taken lightly!" Du Yuming said solemnly.

He knew clearly what his deputy was thinking. He simply felt that their Fifth Army was a mechanized force with great mobility, so they would not necessarily suffer any loss even if they sent troops to rescue.

This is also the pride of the Fifth Army from top to bottom, because they are the first and only mechanized force in Xia Country, with mobility and combat effectiveness far exceeding ordinary forces!

Moreover, Du Yuming had not said one more thing, that is, the Japanese army's aviation was still eyeing them covetously in the air, and if the Fifth Army were to go out, it might be bombarded at any time!

"Report to the commander!"

"There's an update!"

Suddenly, a communications soldier rushed in from outside the door, came to Du Yuming and reported loudly.

"Say it directly!"

"Report to the commander! The Central Plains War Zone devils in Taiyuan were defeated by the New First Army. The majority of the troops fled, and some of them retreated towards the direction of Beicheng!"

"How could this be possible!" Du Yuming was shocked. "Are you sure the news is true?"

The Taipei area belongs to the second front and will soon face the arrival of the Kwantung Army.

And now that the Japanese have broken through from the Taiyuan direction, doesn't this make the battle situation even more confusing?

"Commander! As far as I know, Commander Li's Fifth War Zone has also joined the battlefield."

"Besides, the New First Army has already crippled the Japanese in the Central Plains War Zone. Maybe you are worrying too much!" The adjutant comforted Du Yuming.

"Also, it will take at least one or two days to travel from Taiyuan to Beicheng. Meanwhile, the New First Army is also chasing and besieging the Japanese. Perhaps these Japanese will not be able to have an impact on the war situation."

Although the adjutant was not sure about this, but now that things had come to this point, he could only think positively.

"This is not possible!"

"Although the New 1st Army is very powerful, it may not be good at pursuit warfare!"

"In my opinion, the fact that the New 1st Army was able to let these devils escape shows that this unit still has shortcomings and its performance is not satisfactory!"

Du Yuming shook his head.
