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

Li Yunlong suddenly felt depressed.

It turns out that Zhou Weiguo's First Army in their New First Front Army has already embarked on the path of mechanization?

"By the way, Commander-in-Chief! Will ordering the troops to march quickly affect the subsequent battle situation?" After calming down a little, Li Yunlong immediately raised the question.

Normally the journey would take five hours, but the commander-in-chief directly asked everyone to march quickly, which might affect the troops' subsequent combat effectiveness.

"The battle situation changes rapidly. Only by reaching the battlefield as quickly as possible can we seize the initiative!"

"Moreover, Meijirou Umezu has waited too long for this moment. When the Fifth Army appears on the battlefield, the Kwantung Army will certainly deploy heavy troops to capture the city of Beishi in one fell swoop!"

"After Beishi is taken, the next one will be Tianjin. We can't be negligent for a moment!" Qin Feng looked serious and his tone was very solemn.

"Also, don't think that the Kwantung Army won't send the Army Aviation Unit to bomb just because the Fifth Army and the Central Plains Japanese Allied Forces are in a melee."

"I tell you, that old devil Mei Jin doesn't care at all. Even if all these devils are killed, he won't have any hesitation!"

Qin Feng looked at Li Yunlong and warned him.

He didn't want his subordinates to have any luck, and it was better not to judge the Japs as human beings.

The Japanese in the Central Plains War Zone are at best sacrifices in the eyes of the Kwantung Army. As long as they can use this opportunity to destroy the Fifth Army, it will be a total win!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!" Li Yunlong immediately stepped forward and said.

He knew the commander-in-chief's good intentions.

At this moment, the door of the headquarters was quickly pushed open, and a communicator rushed in quickly and came to Qin Feng to report: "Report!"

"The Commander-in-Chief! He's here!"

"The Japanese aviation unit is here!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's face suddenly changed.

"What's the scale? And the exact location?" Qin Feng asked quickly.

"Commander-in-Chief! The number of fighter planes is about fifty, and the specific location is in the Xuanyang Pass area!" the communicator replied quickly.

"It's over! It seems that the old devil Mei Jin has already made up his mind!" Li Yunlong was shocked.

Even if the 29th Division devils were within the bombing range, the old devil Umezu would not hesitate to kill them!

"Li Yunlong! Order people to get ready immediately!" Qin Feng ordered.

Now the Kwantung Army's aviation force has just been deployed, and the real battle is about to begin!

Whether we can reverse the situation or even seize the initiative depends on how long it takes for the troops to arrive!

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief!"

......

At this moment.

There is still a long way to the Taipei City.

At this time, a large number of troops were fleeing in all directions, and several senior officers who were protected in the center were also in a somewhat embarrassed state.

"Commander! I just got the news that Commander Du's Fifth Army has been dispatched!"

"They are heading in our direction now. We will be able to contact them in about ten kilometers!"

The adjutant hurried to Xue Yue's side and quickly told him the news.

"Oh!" Faced with this 'good news', Xue Yue sighed deeply.

He knew very well that this was not a good thing for the overall situation.

Even though he has escaped now, Xue Yue seriously suspects that this was done intentionally by the Kwantung Army.

The purpose is to drive away these defeated soldiers and force Du Yuming in Taipei to make a decision!

Now it seems that Du Yuming has sent troops after all!

"How many available troops do we have at the moment?" Xue Yue turned his head and asked.

"Report to the commander! After continuous fighting, the troops below have suffered more than 20,000 casualties, of which more than one-third have been forced to disperse or lost contact. Our First Army has suffered heavy losses in this battle!"

"And Commander, we are running out of supplies, and we urgently need to replenish them before we can fight!" said the deputy with a very difficult expression.

The shortage of ammunition and supplies is enough to cause any troop to collapse or even mutiny!

It is already very difficult for them to survive until now in the hands of the mechanized Kwantung Army.

"There is no other choice! We can only quickly meet up with the Fifth Army and retreat to Beicheng!" Xue Yue gritted his teeth and gave the order immediately.

He has no choice.

"Yes! Commander!"

......

Inside the Kwantung Army's rear headquarters.

Meijin Mijiro's deputy quickly walked into the command room and stood respectfully beside the main seat: "Report to the general!"

"Your plan is flawless indeed. The Xia people have taken the bait!"

Mei Jin's expression became even more sinister when he heard this: "Then order the troops to prepare. Once the Xia Kingdom's Fifth Army appears, pour out all their firepower!"

The deputy nodded quickly: "Ha Yi!"

"By the way, General Umezu! The First Flying Squadron you sent has arrived in Beishi. Will we carry out the bombing as planned?"

The deputy actually knew that his question was unnecessary, because the flying squadron was originally here to bomb the Xia country’s troops, so why did he need to ask again?

But the problem is that the terrain of Xuanyang Pass is narrow, and the Fifth Army and the Central Plains War Zone Allied Forces are in a melee. Once bombed, many imperial soldiers will inevitably be killed.

"Hmm?" Mei Jin narrowed his eyes and glanced at his deputy casually, "Are you afraid of taking responsibility?"

The deputy felt cold sweat pouring down his face when the general's gaze swept over him. He quickly bent down and said, "General! I just have some concerns..."

The deputy had already begun to regret why he had said so much, since as long as he followed orders, there would be no problem.

"Forget it!" Umezu Mijiro waved his hand, letting his deputy go.

"Fifteen minutes later, the army will arrive and attack the North City!"

"We have planes, tanks, artillery, and troops. I hope that 600,000 troops can end the battle within an hour!"

Umezu Mijiro's tone was very calm, as if he was enjoying afternoon tea.

"Ha Yi!" The deputy nodded repeatedly.

......

"Commander Xue!"

Du Yuming felt relieved when he saw Xue Yue, whose body was just a little messy but generally fine.

"Commander Du!"

When Xue Yue saw Du Yuming appear in front of him, he felt as if his throat was blocked.

He opened his mouth, but could only hold back a sentence from his throat: "Yuming, you should stick to Beishi!"

Du Yuming smiled helplessly: "There's nothing I can do! I can't just watch my comrades being wiped out."

"Alright! I won't say any more. Let's retreat to the North City now. There is still room for negotiation!"

Xue Yue took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

"Report to the commander!" Suddenly, Du Yuming's deputy walked over quickly with a hurried tone.

"Report to the commander! An emergency has occurred on the front line!"

Du Yuming's expression changed slightly: "What's going on?"

"Commander! The Japanese are spending a huge amount of money! There are at least 20 to 30 artillery positions and hundreds of guns are pointing in our direction!"

???

Du Yuming was shocked all over, and a creepy feeling suddenly came over him!

He immediately stepped quickly onto an armored vehicle to stand on a high place, and at the same time took out a telescope to look around.

Within sight!

Densely packed Japanese soldiers were setting up artillery. Unlike the khaki uniforms of ordinary Japanese soldiers, the Kwantung Army's uniforms were dark green, making them more conspicuous!

Dozens of artillery positions appeared at some point, each equipped with black cannons.
