The previous practice of adding one more deacon and one more chapter was no longer adhered to.
Hammer is deeply sorry.
However, as a working person, I am sometimes a little busy.
I have not stopped updating until now, and I am persevering.
The data of the book is a bit bleak.
But Hammer will insist on finishing this book.
Well, the budget is at least a month or two away.
Well, let’s stop talking nonsense and let’s talk about the key points now.
During the May Day holiday, Hammer took advantage of the holiday to save some manuscripts.
Let's have a little blast tomorrow.
Well, it starts at 0:05 after the outbreak.
At least 6 chapters in half an hour.
It depends on the situation throughout the day.
Whether there will be more depends on the outbreak tomorrow.
Book friends please pay attention.
Yan Xishan also repeatedly shied away from Zhao Shoushan's supplementary orders at this time.
On the one hand, Yan Xishan did have selfish motives, and on the other hand, the situation in Shanxi was really too embarrassing at this time.
The defenders on all fronts were under fierce attack by the Japanese army.
The losses were heavy.
All the troops were reaching out to him, the theater commander, to ask for ammunition, food, and additional troops.
Yan Xishan is also somewhat unsustainable.
Zhao Shoushan led the 17th Division and fought fiercely with the Japanese army for nine days and nights.
The entire division of more than 13,000 people was beaten to the point where there were only 3,000 people including the wounded.
It was no longer possible and could only retreat with the remaining troops. , At this point, Niangziguan fell, and the entire Xinkou front was shaken.
After paying nearly 40,000 casualties, Xinkou was finally captured.
At this point, Taiyuan has been completely opened to the Japanese army.
"It's been a troubled time."
After receiving the telegram, Li Du personally greeted Jiang Li in Baotou.
At this time, he was wearing a military coat and a long cloak.
Northland in December.
The cold wind is already quite biting.
Even if it is wrapped in a woolen coat produced in the northwest.
Wearing combat boots.
Under the cold wind, there was not much warmth on the body.
"It's winter now.
Before we came here, there was a light snowfall in Lanzhou."
When Jiang Li spoke, white air came out of his mouth.
It won't be long before the North Country will turn into a land of snow and ice.
The troubled times Li Du mentioned happened in the past month.
The Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Songhu failed successively.
Then the two armies of Yang Hucheng and Zhao Tieshu, as well as the troops of Song Zheyuan and Sun Dianying, also withdrew from Baoding and Cangzhou, and retreated to Shijiazhuang.
The 5th Army led by Li Du fought with the Japanese army no less than a hundred times, and eventually gave up Guisui and temporarily withdrew westward.
Battle of Guisui.

It ended with the Japanese victory.
As for Nanjing, they fought fiercely with the Japanese army in Songhu for several months.
The previously expected intervention from the great powers has not yet come.
It ultimately failed.
The Republic of China's successive battles in four directions failed, which indeed boosted the morale of the Japanese army that had been frustrated in the attack.
Although the Republic of China's will to resist the war was still resolute, a pessimistic atmosphere did not go away.
"Over in Nanjing, the Battle of Songhu failed.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were crowded on the way to retreat.
Everything was in chaos.
Then a Japanese plane exploded from the sky.
It completely collapsed.
Hundreds of thousands of people were struggling to catch up.
Rushing eastward, the casualties will not be counted.
Those soldiers who did not die on the battlefield died on the way to escape.
Even if they retreat, It’s hard to regain our strength even when we get to Nanjing.
I’m afraid Nanjing really won’t be saved this time.”
Li Du sighed heavily.
Although the Northwest had deduced the war situation between the Republic of China and Japan countless times, it had already anticipated the outcome of Nanjing’s fall. , but at this time, Nanjing was still the political center of the Republic of China, and this moment was about to come.
I feel somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"The Jinsui Army, Wei Lihuang's 14th Group Army, and General Zhu's 18th Group Army suffered heavy losses in Shanxi.
Especially Yan Xishan's spirit was also defeated in this battle.
Now he just wants to take advantage of Taiyuan as much as possible.
If we move out, it will only be a matter of time before Taiyuan falls.
"Xing Zhanqing continued, "In comparison, our Northwest Army's current losses are relatively small, and we still have the strength to arrange large-scale battles.
Moreover, now that the cold winter has arrived, the Japanese army will definitely not be able to maintain its previous advancement speed. .
It’s the greatest blessing among misfortunes.”
"The Japanese army's three-axe attack is only the first one, and the difficult days to come are still far away."
Jiang Li shook his head.
He might not understand every war against Japan in history, but Jiang Li still remembered the general process of history.
According to the original course of history, Taiyuan and Shanghai had fallen half a month ago, while Shijiazhuang and Handan had already fallen into the hands of the Japanese army.
The Japanese army took Hebei almost effortlessly.
In the Battle of Baoding, the Japanese army once again suffered nearly 7,000 casualties, plus more than 28,000 wounded.
At this time, the Japanese army directly killed nearly 30,000 people in Hebei alone, and nearly 70,000 were lightly or seriously injured.
In history, it was because of Song Zheyuan's lack of preparation and because of Liu Zhi's sudden collapse.
The Japanese army captured the whole of Hebei with less than 3,000 men.
At this time, the Japanese army spent more than ten times the price to capture half of it.
It took the Japanese army three months to fight all the way to Taiyuan.
They captured most of Suiyuan with about a hundred casualties.
Now, the Japanese army paid almost the same price to secure the Xinkou front.
More than 6,000 Japanese soldiers were killed before Guisui was captured.
"In the entire northern war zone, the Japanese army lost nearly 60,000 lives.
The loss of land and people was also considerable.
If we include the losses of the Japanese army in Songhu, nearly 80,000 Japanese soldiers were killed in less than half a year.
Thousands of people, the Japanese army completed both The set strategic goals have been completed, and our combat plan has been completed.
In a few more years, the Japanese army will be exhausted."

After talking about the bad news, compared with the current gloom in public opinion, Li A smile appeared on Du's face.
One or two hundred thousand Japanese troops can be consumed in a year.
After a few years, the elite veterans of the Japanese army will be almost exhausted.
The quality of the Japanese army will inevitably decline significantly, and the casualties will only increase.
The situation Li Du mentioned is also what the Northwest General Staff hopes to achieve.
"Let's go, let me go and see how the fortifications in the Baotou area are being built.
If they are not built well, the blame will fall on you."
Jiang Li strode forward.
Li Du fought the first battle in Suiyuan cleanly and easily.
He easily defeated five to six thousand Japanese and puppet troops, and completely knocked out the courage of the puppet troops in one battle.
It also forced the Japanese army in Shanxi to dispatch reinforcements for reinforcements.
The rest of the war was quite satisfactory, with no major moves.
On the one hand, there is Hebei.
Henan involves too much energy in the northwest.
On the other, more important aspect, Jiang Li did not really want to have a big showdown with the Japanese army in Guisui, but took advantage of the opportunity of fighting the Japanese army in Guisui to build a defense line for Baotou's peripheral positions.
Operate the permanent fortification group here, and at the same time, make preliminary preparations for the development of Baotou Iron Mine.
While the Japanese army was carrying out the Battle of Baoding and the Battle of Xinkou, they did not have the energy to launch another large-scale offensive in Suiyuan.
After capturing Guisui and realizing that the strength of the Northwest Army in Suiyuan still existed, they had no energy to launch another large-scale offensive.
Further west.
After all, at the Xinkou front line, if the side attack on Niangziguan had not been successful, the Japanese army might have suffered more heavy casualties.
At least until they captured Taiyuan, they would not have the energy to deal with Suiyuan's Northwest Army for the time being.
At this time, the most important task of the 5th Army was not to start a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Suiyuan, but to protect the security of the Baotou front line and hold back part of the Japanese army, so that the North China Front always needed to mobilize a force to guard the rear passage
