"After all these years, I really don't know what I'm doing in Nanjing!" The war situation in Songhu and the war situation in North China are one south and one north, which determines the direction of the future war of the entire Republic of China, and Jiang Li's eyes have naturally been watching the war process on the Songhu side.

"Although Nanjing has increased the construction of the army in recent years, and the scale has expanded a lot, after all, the vision is a little behind, and the construction of technical arms is quite lagging behind. WANG TIEHAN ALSO SIGHED ANGRILY, AT THIS TIME, EVEN AS AN ELITE MORAL ARMOR DIVISION IN NANJING, A DIVISION WAS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH 3 4-GUN 75MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY COMPANIES AND 1 4-GUN MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY COMPANY. One sapper, one baggage, one spy, one communications battalion. One brigade has two infantry regiments. THE REGIMENTAL HEADQUARTERS ALSO HAD ONLY A 6-GUN 82MM MORTAR COMPANY AND A 6-GUN 20MM MACHINE GUN COMPANY. A REGIMENT HAS THREE BATTALIONS, AND A BATTALION HAS ONLY TWO 82MM MORTARS, WHILE THE HEAVY MACHINE GUNS, WHICH ARE THE IMPORTANT PILLARS OF THE BATTALION'S FIREPOWER, HAVE SIX AND 27 LIGHT MACHINE GUNS.

Relatively speaking, the density of machine gun fire was no worse than that of the Japanese army, but the heavy weapons of the German armor division were pitiful, and the mortars were only a few dozen guns, so it was easy to be suppressed by the Japanese army. Even worse is that after the artillery is suppressed. Most of the 36 heavy machine guns of a brigade were killed by the Japanese army's anti-aircraft guns, after all, the range of heavy machine guns was limited, and the general heavy machine gun positions could not resist the bombardment of the Japanese army's 37MM anti-aircraft guns. In just three or four days, dozens of heavy machine guns were destroyed one after another by the Japanese army's anti-aircraft guns, and the situation of other units of the national army was not much better. The heavy firepower was completely suppressed, and the heavy machine guns were accurately knocked out by the Japanese army one by one, as for the light machine guns that were not a small number, they were suppressed under the combination of the Japanese army's light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers. The Battle of Songhu has also completely become a flesh and blood melting furnace.

According to the information transmitted from Songhu, the ratio of casualties between the Kuomintang army and the Japanese army almost reached an astonishing 9 to 1, or even 10 to 1. It took almost ten people to lose ten people in exchange for one Japanese army. For Wang Tiehan, who has become accustomed to the northwest combat mode, even if he is in a different camp, he can't help but feel heartache for the soldiers of the Nationalist Army in Shanghai. These soldiers are young and strong, in the prime of their lives. But because of the government's mistakes, they are consumed like mustard.

"When will the next batch of planes from the Soviet side arrive?" Jiang Li looked at Feng Zhanhaidao.

"It will take about half a month, and the Soviet Union will also replenish its own aircraft, and the I15 we want are all their cutting-edge fighters, and the obsolete goods over there will not be wanted, and the Soviet Union may not be very happy." Feng Zhanhai smiled helplessly and said, Nanjing has Nanjing's troubles, and the northwest also has the northwest's helplessness.

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, nine times out of ten people who were unsatisfactory in life, and at this time he also knew a little about the helplessness of Jiang in Nanjing. Compared with self-manufacturing, it is convenient and worry-free to buy from abroad, and it does not require a large amount of investment in the early stage, and it is likely that these investments may not be able to support a complete industrial chain. Therefore, although the batch of Vladivostok machinery has been on the train at this time, it will be at least a month or two before it is transported to the northwest to be installed, debugged and put into production. At present, the consumption on the battlefield can only rely on the production of full horsepower by the various arsenals in the northwest working overtime.

But war is always the best catalyst for weapons, and after the first month or two of hectic activity, the industrial layout of the Northwest is also rapidly adjusting at a much faster pace than before. With the existing equipment, we will make reasonable adjustments to the production and process. Production has also risen considerably.

"The weapons and equipment on the Nanjing side determine the tactics they use on the battlefield, and it is nothing to be suppressed by the Japanese army, I think we have the strength to care about Nanjing now, so it is better to spend more time on North China." Ma Zhanshan said.

"Although North China is more favorable to the enemy's attack than Shanghai, the situation in North China is slightly better in comparison. There's nothing too much to worry about. Feng Zhanhai said with a smile.

"Now the Japanese North China Front is opening the bow in three ways. All the way to Shanxi, all the way along Pinghan Road, all the way south along Jinpu Road. Now that Chairman Chiang had ordered Liu Zhi's 8th Army in Henan to fight against the enemy on the Jinpu Road, the terrain of Shanxi was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the equipment of the Jin Sui Army had always been good. If you want to conquer Shanxi, the Japanese army does not have more than 100,000 people to fight for a few months, which is not realistic. The entire North China Front Army was about 300,000 or 400,000 troops, and tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Beiping, Tianjin, Zhangjiakou and other important places to be occupied, and they also had to guard against the counteroffensive of our Northwest Army from Suiyuan to the east. The Japanese troops that can really be used to fight on the Pinghan Road and the Jinpu Road should be around 200,000 people, not much, not much, not a few. Now in North China, we have directly dispatched two group armies, the Sichuan Army, which is subordinate to the 6th Group Army, Yu Xuezhong's 51st Army has successively opened Tongguan, and the remaining 5th Army in the northwest has also been initially mobilized. Compared with the Japanese army in North China, our army is still abundant in strength. ”

For the several group armies that arrived in the Central Plains one after another, the scale of each time was larger and larger, and Zhao Tieshu's 2nd Group Army had only two directly subordinate armies, and a mechanized 2nd Brigade was strengthened. Yang Hucheng's 3rd Group Army directly pulled out the elite of the Shaanxi Army, equipped with an independent heavy artillery regiment, and the 8th Artillery Brigade of the Northeast Army. It has jurisdiction over the establishment of 3 armies. With the allotted artillery and the cavalry divisions directly under the command of the group army, it was only a little short of 100,000 men.

The newly established Wang Tiehan's 6th Group Army, the three armies under its jurisdiction are all three divisions, Deng Xihou and Sun Zhen's three divisions of the Sichuan Army are all reorganized, each division has reached more than 10,000 troops, each division of the Northeast Army also has more than 10,000 troops, the three divisions of the Northwest Army headquarters have more than 13,000 troops, and the 6th Group Army is equipped with the 3rd Mechanized Brigade, the 1st Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, and a baggage transport brigade with 1,200 transport trucks. The 2nd Northwest Cavalry Division, and the military headquarters of Zhao Yi's 5th Army in the Northwest Headquarters also additionally equipped an independent heavy artillery regiment. Plus the air defense units, anti-chemical warfare troops, and engineers assigned to the armies. The strength of the 6th Army has exceeded 150,000 people, which is also where Feng Zhanhai and others have confidence.

"It's a bit of a favoritism." Sun Wei also heard about the situation of the 6th Group Army at this time, and he couldn't help but sigh while sitting in Yang Hucheng's headquarters, compared to Wang Yishan, who usually complains a lot, Sun Wei rarely said this.

"It's nothing, after all, Jiang Li, who has made great efforts, and the formation of the group army in the northwest is gradually improving. That's what it looks like at most. Yang Hucheng wiped his face with the warm towel handed over by the guards. (To be continued.) )
