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

"General!"

"We have no way out now. What should we do next?" The deputy's face was pale and he looked at a loss.

Their Central Plains Theater Allied Forces were first defeated by the New First Army, and then faced the risk of being annihilated. Isolated and helpless, they could only place their hopes of survival in the north.

But the problem arises again. This was a spontaneous act of theirs and did not receive any approval from the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

What if Commander Umezu of the Kwantung Army does not support them after they have escaped through hardships?

"Baka! Don't you see that we have no way to retreat?" Yamashita Fengwen glared at his deputy fiercely.

In this situation, he was very dissatisfied that his adjutant was so weak.

"Ha...Ha Yi!" The deputy bowed repeatedly, not daring to make any complaints.

"Our only way to survive right now is to enter Taipei City!" Yamashita Fengwen pondered for a moment and spoke directly.

"Bei City? General, if we advance rashly, will it ruin Commander Umezu's plan?" The deputy swallowed subconsciously.

They went north without permission and did not report to the Marine Corps. If this disrupted the Empire's mission to open up the continental transportation line, then...

"We can't care about so many things! Otherwise, our entire coalition will be destroyed and become stepping stones for the Xia country's new army!" Shanxia Fengwen had a gloomy face.

His loyalty to the Sky Locust does not mean he is loyal to the Marine Corps.

So what if the underdog overthrows the superior? Being treated as a chess piece to be discarded at will would make anyone feel dissatisfied!

"Ha Yi!" the deputy responded loudly.

"But General! Now that we are approaching Beishi, the Xia country garrison stationed in Beishi will definitely intercept us."

"idiot!"

"If our opponent is not the New First Army, would those Xia people have any troops that can stop us?" Yamashita Fengwen said angrily.

Although they suffered heavy losses, they still have the strength of a division at present.

With a division under his command, he is not afraid even if the garrison is the elite troops of the mountain city!

"Approach Beishi at full speed! Launch an attack from Xuanyang Pass!"

"Ha Yi!" the deputy responded quickly.

......

"Report to the commander! There are Japanese movements coming from the direction of Xuanyang Pass!"

In the rear headquarters of the Fifth Army in Taipei City, Du Yuming's deputy quickly walked up to Du Yuming and reported loudly.

"Xuanyang Pass? Japs?" Du Yuming's heart skipped a beat and he stood up immediately.

"Commander! A large number of Japanese troops have appeared in the direction of Xuanyang Pass. The size of the troops is about 30,000, which is about a division!"

"According to intelligence analysis, these should be the Japanese soldiers from the Central Plains War Zone fleeing northward from the Second War Zone!" The deputy quickly told all the information.

"What?!" Du Yuming was shocked when he heard that, and his expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, how can we defend this city?

"Commander! What should we do next?" the deputy asked hurriedly.

"We can't hold on! We must get rid of these devils before the Kwantung Army arrives!" Du Yuming took a deep breath.

The pressure from the Kwantung Army was already great enough, and now there was another coalition of devils from the Central Plains.

If he doesn't get rid of this group of Japanese devils, his Fifth Army will be attacked from all sides and will have to bear the brunt of the defeat!

Moreover, Xuanyang Pass is an important link in the North City and absolutely no mistakes are allowed!

"But, sir! What about the First Army? If we send troops to stop them, what should we do when the Kwantung Army's aviation arrives?" the deputy asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry about all that, send troops immediately!" Du Yuming waved his hand and gave the order decisively.

He knew this truth, but sooner or later they would have to face the Kwantung Army's aviation force.

Instead of hesitating, it is better to give it a try. At least he will not allow the First Army to be wiped out.

"Yes! Commander!"

......

"Report to General Yamashita! Urgent information ahead!"

In the temporary command post of the 29th Division in the rear, the voice of the signalman suddenly sounded from the rear.

Immediately afterwards, a communications officer stumbled in front of Yamashita Tomoyuki.

"Damn! You're so flustered!" Yamashita Tomoyuki stepped forward and slapped the signalman hard in the face.

"Snapped!"

The huge force caused the signalman to spin around on the spot, dizzy, and a bright red slap mark appeared on his cheek.

"Tell me! What's the matter!" Yamashita Fengwen said with a cold face.

"Report...Report to General Yamashita! Tanks...tanks! Armored forces!"

"There are a lot of armored troops ahead!" the signalman covered his face and stammered.

"What? Where did the armored troops come from?" Yamashita Tomoyuki frowned suddenly, looking confused.

"Reporting to General Yamashita! These are the troops coming out of the city of Beishi! They have already started fighting with our vanguard!" the signalman said hurriedly.

"Baga!" Yamashita Fengwen cursed angrily, then pushed the signalman away and went to the high ground ahead.

At the same time, he took the telescope from his deputy and looked forward.

In sight!

Rows of tanks blocked the road into Taipei City like a steel barrier.

Along with the mighty tanks, there are also a large number of armored vehicles!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Artillery shells fell on their own positions in an extremely dense manner.

"Boom!"

Explosions rang out everywhere, and the violent force tore down the hastily built positions of the 29th Division.

"General! If I'm not mistaken, this is the only armored unit of Xia Country!"

"The Fifth Army of Xia Country's Mountain City!" said the deputy with a pale face.

The Fifth Army of Xia State is quite famous. It is an ace force built up with countless real gold and silver. It is also the only mechanized force in Xia State.

"Bagya Road!"

"I don't care what Fifth Army he is! As long as he dares to stand in the way of the Imperial Warriors, he must be dealt with!"

"Try every possible way to open up the road to Taipei City! Even if we can't, we must hold it firmly!" Yamashita Fengwen roared loudly with bloodshot eyes.

For them, the only way to survive is to break through the North City. At the very least, they have to defend Xuanyang Pass and take root there.

If they retreat, they will inevitably face a head-on clash with the extremely oppressive New First Army.

Comparing the two, he would rather choose a weaker opponent.

"Hayi!"

......

"commander!"

"We just received intelligence! Du Yuming led the Fifth Army to engage in a fierce battle with the 29th Division coalition forces!"

Inside the rear command post of the Third Army of the New First Front Army.

Zhang Dabiao pushed the door open and walked in quickly, came in front of Li Yunlong and reported loudly.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but speak up after hearing this: "The commander-in-chief really expected this. Du Yuming couldn't help it after all!"

Zhang Dabiao nodded and continued to report: "The Fifth Army is now divided into two groups, and a part of the most mobile troops are mobilized to support the retreating First Army."

"The rest of the troops will be stationed in the Xuanyang Pass area to block any Central Plains devil coalition forces that attempt to enter the North City."
