"Commission, although Jiang Li is proud of his achievements, the troops sent to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War are the essence of the 15th Route Army, and they have already sent people to investigate, Zhang Zhibang's 2nd Division under the jurisdiction of the 1st Army, and Weng Zhaoyuan's 2nd Brigade. Each of them was equipped with a 36-gun 75MM divisional artillery regiment and an 18-gun artillery battalion. In addition, there is an additional anti-aircraft unit, which is a newly purchased anti-aircraft weapon from Europe. IN ADDITION, A 36-GUN 105MM HOWITZER REGIMENT WAS DEPLOYED AT THE MILITARY HEADQUARTERS. For the time being, the 1st Army's civil war anti-artillery has been equipped to the regimental level, and there are a lot of them, which can restrain the Japanese army's armored vehicles. With several times the number of troops, coupled with these ordnance dispositions, although it was difficult to encircle and annihilate a brigade of the Japanese army, it was still possible. ”

Chen Cheng, as Chairman Chiang's confidant, directly told the foundation of the Provisional 1st Army sent by Jiang Li, and it would be a good thing if Chairman Chiang could increase his investment in the army because of this. Although there is a saying that Jiang Li will allocate the essence of the 15th Route Army to the Temporary 1st Army, the lineup of the Temporary 1st Army armed to the teeth is really terrifying. Compared with the Temporary 1st Army, Xu Tingyao's Central 17th Army going north is more like a miscellaneous card, and the combined firepower of an army is not as good as Zhang Zhibang's division, not to mention that the Temporary 1st Army also has an additional heavy artillery regiment. As for the more than 50 planes, they were all newly purchased from Europe, and Nanjing took out all its own air forces.

"What about the loss of Wang Tiehan's temporary 1st Army in Luo Wenyu this time?" Chairman Jiang sat back and asked.

"It lost 15 aircraft of various types, 13 heavy artillery pieces, and more than 10,000 casualties. Division. Brigade artillery losses were also not small. Air defense forces suffered more than half of the casualties. Chen Cheng replied.

"Don't fool me with that useless set, good equipment is one thing, but the 15th Route Army only lost 17 planes, and as many as twenty or thirty Japanese planes were blown up at Jinzhou Airport alone, and more than 10 Japanese planes were shot down in the air battles of Luo Wenyu and Xifengkou. Wang Tiehan can achieve such a result with more than 20,000 people in the 1st Provisional Army, even if I allocate so many ordnance to the front line, can I fight such a decent battle? Chairman Jiang asked rhetorically.

The troops on the front line are being constrained too much. Even the Central Army sent out by Nanjing was mostly influenced by Nanjing's attempts at peace talks during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they were also tied down when they fought. Even if they were given these guys, Chen Cheng was really not sure that he would be able to win a battle like Luo Wenyu's victory and Jinzhou's air raid. Regarding Chairman Jiang's questioning, Chen Cheng could only keep silent and remain silent.

Relatively speaking, most of the foundations that Jiang Li can take out at this time are still the family foundations that Zhang Xueliang saved in the Northeast before, once these foundations are exhausted with the Japanese army, the 15th Route Army is not afraid. It is absolutely impossible for the northwest corner to resist the central government. After being silent for a while, Chen Cheng comforted Chairman Jiang from this aspect.

"Jiang Li's actions in the northwest are far beyond your expectations." Chairman Jiang glanced at Chen Cheng. Then he waved his hand and said, "You go out first." Regarding the anti-aircraft weapons and heavy artillery that appeared in the 15th Route Army, I will find a way to allocate them to the troops. ”

The combat strength displayed by the 15th Route Army at this time was amazing, and Chairman Chiang also hoped that there would be such an army under his command, but when he thought of the heavy artillery regiment and the huge investment of the aviation troops, he couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.

"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low, and I don't know when I will be able to see all this in front of me in the future." Li Du looked at the grass outside the plug with great fascination, and the grass was already flying.

"It's time to go, we have to reserve a little vitality for the troops of the Anti-Japanese War." Ma Zhanshan sighed, looked at the far west and said, "The Japanese army is too difficult to deal with, there are hundreds of battles of size and size, and there are very few who can really bargain. ”

"Then let's go, I hope Su Shanwen and them can be auspicious and escape." Li Du glanced gloomily to the south, between the anti-Japanese volunteers from all walks of life, there were him and Ma Zhanshan presiding over the main battlefield, and there were also some people who launched a relatively small war with the Japanese army in various places, more than ten days ago I heard that Su Shanwen, Wang Delin and others were forced to a dead end, and had to pull the war horse into the mountains and forests to get rid of the pursuit and encirclement of the Japanese army.

"Yes, Su Zhiwen, Wang Delin, they will definitely be able to escape, Commander Jiang said that he will invite them to drink when he returns to Fengtian in the future." Ma Zhanshan said with a firm gaze.

"Speaking of which, let's go to Commander Jiang now, it's really a little embarrassing, when Commander Jiang retreated west, we strongly advocated staying in the Northeast. Unexpectedly, the strength of the Japanese army was far beyond our expectations, a battle of Fengtian would kill and wound more than 100,000 people, but only hurt its skin, and then attack Changchun, Harbin strength has not been weakened at all, after we left Fengtian City, the troops collected before and after were as many as 60,000 or 70,000 people, and they suffered defeats, and now there are only less than 14,000 people left in front of them. On the contrary, it was Commander Jiang who not only blocked a division of the Japanese army in Shanghai, but also almost annihilated a brigade of the Japanese army in Luowenyu. The team has risen instead of falling, and now it has become the most resolute anti-Japanese force in China, and we are dwarfed by the two. Li Du said with a bitter face.

"A little thing, presumably Commander Jiang won't mind. Otherwise, we won't be able to withdraw from Zhang Luoxi. With Commander Jiang's mind, as long as it is a team of the Anti-Japanese War, it can be tolerated, not to mention that there are still some past ties. If it weren't for the commander's insistence on retreating westward, retaining the vitality of the Northeast Army and the capital of the comeback, where can I manage such a situation now, the commander has fought a lot in recent years, and the plate is getting bigger and bigger. Even the Japanese army now regards the 15th Route Army as the number one enemy. Ma Zhanshan was a little more open than Li Du, but the spirit of the person who had lost weight was quite uplifted, and he was not slightly depressed because of the successive setbacks.

"That's right, with the mind of the commander, he will always accept these anti-war teams." Speaking of this, Li Du also cheered up a little, as for Jiang Li's vision, Li Du never doubted it, but he was reluctant to abandon his hometown in the Northeast under the iron hooves of the Japanese.

"Let's go, if we delay any longer, I don't know when the Japanese planes will come again."

Ma Zhanshan nodded, tens of thousands of people frequently turned back, looking at this homeland that had been fighting for several years, their eyes were affectionate and firm, and they were going west today, but one day they would fight back to this land again, and wash away today's shame with the blood of the Japanese army.
