Chapter 373: Warlord

"What a bad fight this is. Are the Japanese muddy, after experiencing the last Great Wall War of Resistance, and being so careless, he really put his head on the muzzle of the Japanese! Jiang Li saw the telegram sent by Zhao Tieshu, and he was so angry that he threw the telegram out.

"Lost at the front?" Tibetan Shiyi walked in from the door, saw Jiang Li's face was furious, and picked up the telegram from the ground, and said in the same shock.

"Almost, I really don't know how Song Zheyuan did it this time, he fought well in the Great Wall War of Resistance last time, but this time the Japanese haven't started fighting, and the interior is in a mess." Feng Zhanhai shook his head and smiled bitterly, if it weren't for the continuous withdrawal of machinery, personnel, and cultural relics from the Pingjin area at this time, he would have doubted whether it would make sense for Jiang Li to insist on keeping the Pingjin defense line for a short time. After all, the entire Northwest Army of the Second Mechanized Brigade now has only three. Let Sun Li carry it with the Japanese in Langfang like this, and it would be a loss to be too close to the Japanese supply line. It is not easy for the northwest to build such an elite force.

"Aren't all warlords like this? The staff sent a telegram to Song Zheyuan, isn't his military headquarters going to be withdrawn, his own defense line is full of holes, and the basket poked out by the 29th Army should not be blocked by that group of students. Jiang Li smiled coldly, in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, the Northwest Army was able to work together because the Northwest Army at that time was no different from the Huazi, even if it was for himself, he had to fight for his territory, so he would use his life so hard, Song Zheyuan was also a calculating person, since the fall of Feng Yuxiang, he struggled to maintain the banner of the old Northwest Army, and later Zhang Xueliang's main force of the Northeast Army was transferred by Chairman Jiang to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, and Chahar and Hebei became Song Zheyuan's territory. This is tantamount to going from hell to heaven for the 29th Army since the defeat of the Central Plains War. And the gap within the 29th Army came out at this time. Liu Ruming, who was quite capable of fighting in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, was still in Chahar at this time. In the face of the chaotic 29th Army, the Japanese army came carefully this time.

"Relatively speaking, the Northwest Army has solved this problem for the time being, but if you want to integrate the Northeast Army, the Shaanxi Army, and the Northwest Army in our headquarters, I'm afraid it will still be protracted." Feng Zhanshan also climbed up from the bottom, and the powerful relationship between them can also be seen.

"There's no other trick. Win over a group and suppress a group. The battle with the Japanese army was a long one, and tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, dead and wounded. As long as the northwest grasps the army, the ordnance is replenished, and then the replenishment is seized, sooner or later, this barrier will be broken. Although Tibetan Yi has not been in the army for a long time, after all, he is in a high-level position and is in charge of Jiang Li's money bag. After hearing that Zhao Tieshu's Second Army had not yet been defeated. Tibetan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said that it was not uncommon for the front-line army to lose under the attack of the Japanese army. Tibetan Shiyi has become numb to all this bad news.

"That's right, grab the money bag with one hand, grab the gun with the other, and give money and food obediently, like Tan Zixin, these disobedient ones are a shot." Hearing Tibetan Yi's words, Jiang Li also lost a little breath for the time being, there is a reason why the Japanese army can grow straight into nature in history, and Jiang Li did not expect to be able to block the Japanese army on the Pingjin line. It really hurt my vitality to use the liver fire in vain.

"The matter of the young marshal, the negotiation with Nanjing is a bit eyebrow-raising." Tibetan Shiyi sat down and poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Nanjing is a big mouth, the equipment of the five divisions, and we have to give up Sichuan, it's really a dream, after talking for so long, I agreed to lower the standard to the equipment of three divisions, and the forces in the northwest must stop at northern Sichuan, and must not go south again." ”

"It's been more than half a year now, and I still refuse to give in, and Nanjing is really calm." Jiang Li sneered, "Then drag them for a while, I really think that if you hold the young marshal, you will be able to ask for a price." The equipment of at most two divisions, on the issue of Sichuan, can jointly develop Sichuan, and can recruit troops in Sichuan, as for the grain produced in Sichuan, if he has the ability to get it from Liu Xiang's hands, then he is considered very powerful. If you want to stop in the northwest and northern Sichuan, you can't do it anyway. ”

"Commander, with the current strength of the Northwest Army in northern Sichuan, there is no need to promise Nanjing at all." Tibetan Yi said urgently. Sichuan's strategic position in the northwest is extremely important, and at this time, not only the two divisions reorganized by Chuankang, but also Jiang Wenhao's North Sichuan Group Army are in battle. The forces in the northwest have been operating in central Sichuan for several years, and there is no need to make excuses about Nanjing.

"Now is a critical period, the Japanese army moves frequently in Shanghai, the northeast is changing drastically, and Nanjing needs a place to stay."

"What, the commander means that Nanjing will be lost!" Tibetan Shiyi and Feng Zhanhai were shocked at the same time, although the northwest did not deal with Nanjing, but Nanjing was still a signboard of the Republic of China at this time, if it was lost, it would definitely be a major blow to the morale of the Republic of China.

"Nine times out of ten, it was too convenient for the Japanese army to send troops to Shanghai. Aircraft and naval guns, if you want to fight the Japanese army in Shanghai, Nanjing is still a lot behind, there is not enough air power, unable to resist the Japanese air force, as long as Shanghai and Nanjing are taken, it will be difficult to hold it again. Therefore, we have to press down the price with Nanjing, but we can't press it too hard, and we have to let them join hands with the northwest to promote the construction of Sichuan. If the northwest occupies Sichuan, I am afraid that they will not be at ease when they settle in Yunnan or Guizhou. Jiang Li said indifferently, the Japanese Navy has a more powerful flying corps than the Army Airlines, and with the strength of the Northwest Air Force at this time, it is still very difficult to deal with the Army Airlines, and I am afraid that the Japanese Navy will also be embarrassed. Even if the performance of the Flying Dragon 1 at this time is outstanding, the newly developed monoplane has not yet formed an overwhelming advantage over the excellent biplane of the 96 Ship Battle in terms of performance, and the proportion of the Flying Dragon 1 in the Northwest Air Force is still relatively low. However, with the production of more and more Flying Dragon fighters later, the improvement of monoplane performance will qualitatively regain the Japanese army's quantitative advantage.

Tibetan Shiyi and Feng Zhanhai gasped at the same time.

"How, how is this good?" Compared with Feng Zhanhai's composure as a soldier, Tibetan Shiyi valued the terrible impact of a country's capital being occupied by the enemy.

"I don't know what to do, it's just my personal speculation, maybe things won't be that bad. In any case, this battle will always be fought, and now it is a contest between the Republic of China and Japan, and this war will last for several years, and the victory or loss is no longer about the gains and losses of one city or one place, nor is it about the victory or defeat of one or two battles and a half. When the sky falls, there are still 780,000 troops to be commanded in the Northwest Group, and as long as they survive these few years, Japan will become the end of the crossbow. The war potential of the Japanese was not very strong, and they wanted to force the Republic of China to surrender by taking Nanjing, and the Republic of China had succumbed to them countless times, and this time it was going to disappoint them. For the future war, Jiang Li is not very worried, at the moment the northwest has been a group, the army that can be directly commanded is as high as seven or eight hundred thousand, and now the northwest has carried out the first mobilization, the first batch of supplementary troops has two or three hundred thousand, and then mobilize a few times, plus the people in Sichuan, that is, the northwest plus Sichuan, and a corner of Henan, it is not difficult to recruit three or four million people in a few years. As long as their airspace is not completely occupied by the Japanese army, even if the Japanese have stronger firepower, they will consume the invading Japanese army, which is the so-called protracted war.
