"No, although Chairman Jiang has a lot of problems, he is still fundamentally different from the one surnamed Wang. Slap it, and then give Nanjing a little sweetness. Now the defeat of Songhu is obvious, and if Songhu is defeated, Nanjing is bound to lose. Chairman Chiang also needs me to help him stabilize the situation in the north and at the same time let him gain a firm foothold in Wuhan. ”

Jiang Li said indifferently. At this time, Jiang Li also took advantage of Chairman Jiang's chaos to attack, and in addition, as the deputy director of the northern camp, it is reasonable for him to forcibly dispose of a defeated general. After all, compared with the records of the Northwest Army, and even the 29th Army and the 41st Army, Liu Zhi's group army was defeated by most of the Japanese army's divisions in a few days, and it is reasonable to punish the crime of defeating the army, how can the future war situation in Henan be handed over to such a person.

At this time, Nanjing was busy preparing for the Battle of Xuzhou, as well as the defense of Wuhan, and was unable to compete with the Japanese army in Henan. Although it is not as good as Sichuan, Henan's population of more than 30 million, plus a large number of refugees who fled from the war zone to Henan, is more than the total population of the entire northwest at this time. Jiang Li did not want to use the historical tactics of crowds to block the advance of the Japanese army. During the entire Anti-Japanese War, the number of soldiers who died in the hands of the Nationalist Army and the Red Army was only about 500,000, while the Republic of China paid more than 35 million heavy casualties. This kind of exchange ratio is absolutely unacceptable to Jiang Li.

At least for now, Henan will be included in the rule of the northwest as soon as possible, and the northwest will be able to make more effective use of Henan's manpower and material resources. The exchange ratio between the Northwest Army and the Japanese army should be controlled within a relatively reasonable range, as long as the aircraft and tank production capacity in the northwest gradually increases, even if the industrial scale of the Japanese army bursts out with greater energy. Jiang Li only needs to control the casualty ratio to no more than three to one exchange. It was a great success.

And the previous Battle of Pingjin. The current battle of Shibao. Jiang Li took out the fist troops in his hand. Zhao Tieshu, Liu Zhanxiong, Liu Zhendong, and Li Chunrun are all generals who can fight, and they have played a super-level record. The casualties of the soldiers and horses in the northwest headquarters were due to the use of the most elite mechanized brigade in Langfang, and the subsequent encirclement and annihilation battle also caused a considerable number of Japanese casualties.

Excluding the losses of the 29th Army, the 41st Army, and the Northeast Army, the headquarters of the Northwest Army actually had fewer soldiers and horses than the Japanese army killed. Of course, this exchange ratio cannot be sustained forever. After all, the foundation accumulated by the two sides is different, and the foundation of the Japanese army is not only this, but the most solid foundation in the northwest is now on the hundreds of thousands of Northwest Army, which is the elite trained by rushing for time over the years.

Although some reserve soldiers have been prepared in the back, there is still a certain gap in quality compared with these veterans. That is to say, after this group of veterans consumes a part, the recruits who are replenished later will reduce the combat power of the entire army. As a result, in the battle with the Japanese army, the losses of the Northwest Army will also skyrocket, and some people will grow up in battle, but more people will also die in battle. This process will last a long time. However, Jiang Li had a certain amount of psychological preparation, and although the casualties of the Northwest Army had been rising for a long time. But it will not last forever, when the military industrial system in the northwest grows again, through the improvement of armaments, as well as training, a large number of veterans grow up in the battle, the casualty ratio of the two sides will tend to be equal again, if the quality of weapons, especially the improvement of aircraft, can allow the northwest army to occupy air supremacy, maybe the casualty ratio can recover faster to a ratio that Jiang Li is satisfied with.

However, the war was determined by the scale of the industries of both sides, and it cannot be expected that there will be a significant change all at once. The so-called heroes saw the same thing, and those in northern Shaanxi and the Northwest Staff Headquarters proposed to first do everything they could to delay the advance of the Japanese army at all costs, and then use superior forces to continuously consume the elite veterans of the Japanese army and consume the war potential of the Japanese army. Japan's foundation is indeed strong compared to the Republic of China, but it also cannot withstand attrition, as long as more than 400,000 Japanese troops come, the subsequent war will be greatly improved.

At this time, relying on the population of the northwest alone, even if the control of northern Sichuan was obtained, compared with the booming industry, road mining, and land in the northwest at this time, the population was far from dense. The integration of more than 10 million people in Shaanxi has brought the northwest to a higher level, and after Henan is brought under control, the northwest is truly like a tiger with wings. After all, Sichuan is still the world of the Sichuan army, and Jiang Li can only use indirect means, which are completely different concepts from direct control.

"D-class personnel have been arranged!" A pair of slender white hands pressed on Jiang Li's shoulders and said as he pressed.

The so-called D-level personnel are actually the fourth group of spies deployed overseas, and A, B, C, and D are the code names of spies. Some of these spies were sent to Europe, some were sent to the Soviet Union, and some were sent to Japan, and these people Jiang Li did not directly use his network to make these meanings grow too quickly, but put them overseas in a free-range state, allowing them to grow on their own. Now these spies have entered all walks of life, but since most of them are still young, they don't expect to play much role for the time being, and a few or two even become front-line fighters, maybe one moment is still there, and the next moment when the war breaks out, they will be killed. However, Jiang Li doesn't mind this, spies can't be without casualties, maybe most of these people can't even play a role in the war years, but Jiang Li's layout is not just in the war years. Also included is the post-war period. In the post-war reconstruction of Europe, it means a lot of business opportunities, Jiang Li needs to build a huge business empire, because in the process of laying out South Asia, it is not only military strength is needed, perhaps due to the development of the later situation, it will be a good choice to exert influence on South Asia and Southeast Asia through some indirect means.

After all, the situation in the Republic of China has changed greatly, and it is impossible for Japan to regain its historical superiority over China, and Jiang Li is now uncertain whether Japan will declare war on the United States in accordance with the course of history. If this is the case, Jiang Li is not even opposed to pushing back the time of ending the Anti-Japanese War a little bit in his heart. Perhaps this meant that the people in the occupied areas would have to live in the shadow of the Japanese army for an extra year or two, but the military power of the Republic of China could expand its influence to South Asia and Southeast Asia in the process of fighting in South Asia. Even if the army is withdrawn later, the Chinese forces supported by the Republic of China have enough time, space, and a chance to grow up in this catastrophe. (To be continued.) )
