During the War of Resistance Against Japan: After being scattered at Cangyunling, he brought back a

"Commander-in-Chief, what do you mean?"

Li Yunlong subconsciously swallowed hard, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"report!"

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Appeared!"

"The Japanese air force has appeared!"

Just as Xie Jinyuan was about to speak, the communications officer's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"What did you say?"

"Did it appear?"

Li Yunlong looked at the communications officer and quickly said.

"commander!"

"It has indeed appeared!"

"And it's not small in scale, with no fewer than fifty fighter jets!"

"What did you say?"

"Fifty fighter jets?" Li Yunlong suddenly shouted.

"Where's the location?"

"Where are you headed?" Xie Jinyuan interrupted abruptly.

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief!"

Mentougou!

"Commander-in-Chief!"

"Umezu is really going to make a move!"

"Du Yuming is finished!"

Li Yunlong swallowed hard in disbelief.

Umezu's final decision was still to launch an air raid on the Fifth Army!

Even though the Fifth Army is now engaged in battle with the 29th Division's combined forces.

"It's not Du Yuming!"

"It's Taipei!"

"The all-out offensive has begun!"

Xie Jinyuan shook his head thoughtfully.

Mentougou was just an appetizer; the real strategic objective has already been achieved.

The battle for Taipei will be fully underway in two hours at most. Whether it can be held depends on these two hours.

……

at the same time.

It is located more than 20 kilometers away from Taipei City.

A large number of troops fled, led by two high-ranking commanders.

"commander!"

"Telegram received!"

"The Fifth Army has moved out! They're less than ten kilometers away now!"

From behind a cover, Xue Yue's deputy quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Yu Ming has sent out troops?"

"Confused!"

After catching his breath, Xue Yue couldn't help but sigh.

"commander!"

"Sigh!" The deputy wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

Because he knew the current situation, the Kwantung Army was relentlessly pursuing him, and that was their purpose.

This forced the Fifth Army to send troops to the rescue!

This dealt a heavy blow to the Fifth Army.

"How many people do we have left?" Xue Yue interrupted, waving his hand.

"commander!"

"In the Battle of Shanhaiguan, we suffered more than 25,000 casualties!"

"Including the retreat over the past few days, the casualties have exceeded ten thousand!"

"Nearly one-third of the First Army Group suffered casualties in the entire campaign!"

"Most importantly, Commander, we've run out of military supplies!" the deputy said with a bitter expression.

This is the most terrifying thing: all military supplies have been depleted, and they have even reached the point of running out of ammunition and food.

In addition, the Kwantung Army was a mechanized fighting force, and without terrain advantage, it would be impossible to break free in a short period of time.

A breakout attempt in split formation would be even more impossible, as that would expose the Kwantung Army's Achilles' heel.

"asshole!"

"Pass down the order: full speed ahead, retreat into Taipei!"

After a moment of contemplation, Xue Yue suddenly spoke, his eyes bloodshot.

Retreating to Taipei to recuperate is now the only way out.

"Yes! Commander!"

……

"General Umezu!"

"The Chinese soldiers really fell for the trap!"

Inside the Kwantung Army rear headquarters, Umezu's deputy stepped forward and spoke.

At the same time, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Ok!"

"Notify the 23rd Brigade Artillery Regiment!"

"The Shigeno Division will launch a full-scale bombing campaign after the Fifth Army of China enters the field!"

"We must annihilate them completely!"

Umezu spoke with a gloomy expression.

"Hai!"

"But General Umezu!"

"The First Flight Squadron has arrived at the Mentougou location!"

"Are we really going to launch a full-scale attack?"

After a pause, the deputy couldn't help but speak up.

After all, the 29th Division Allied Forces have already clashed with some units of the Chinese Fifth Army.

The terrain of Mentougou is suitable for covert strikes, but the drawbacks are also obvious.

If an indiscriminate attack is launched, many of the Empire's soldiers will inevitably be killed.

"idiot!"

The deputy had barely finished speaking when he was met with a cold, piercing gaze from Umezu.

"Ha...hai!"

"Notify me!"

"A full-scale attack on Taipei in twenty minutes!"

"We must capture Taipei within half an hour!" Umejin said with a grim expression.

"Hai!"
