"The ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, I didn't expect to be here again now, but only now it seems that it has some signs of revival."
Yan Xishan looked through the car window and saw the Lijing Gate in front of him.
There was a bitterness in my heart.
I remember how powerful the Jin army was when they attacked the Central Plains and Hebei and brought Luochu under their control.
It is now less than ten years since the Central Plains War.
The Jinsui Army has now been commercialized into the Jin Army.
It can only live in the mountainous area of Southern Shanxi.
There is no day to come forward.
"It may not be possible to revive.
Although the Northwest Army is in full swing right now, the continuous battles with the Japanese army will definitely consume a lot of money.
This time Jiang Li personally took charge of the Central Plains and made it clear that he would fight the Japanese army to the end.
I am afraid that the central government wants to fight the Japanese.
It's a delaying strategy, and Jiang Li won't agree to it now," Zhou Dai couldn't help but smile in the car.
"You are half right.
It is impossible for the northwest to cease the war now, and the central government dare not stop, otherwise the people's hearts will completely go to the northwest.
Generally speaking, Jiang Li can hold on in the Central Plains, and the same can be said for us.
It's good.
Otherwise, if the Japanese army frees up its hands and sends some troops into Shanxi, our life will be even more difficult."
Yan Xishan is naturally more transparent than his subordinate Zhou Dai.
At present, the entire northern war situation is already a situation where everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers.
Besides, the 18th Army is now squatting in southern Shanxi.
Its strength has surpassed the Central Army to which Wei Lihuang belongs.
Naturally, Yan Xishan can see clearly.
The car drove past the ancient Lijing Bridge, and there were soldiers standing guard everywhere inside and outside the city walls.
Under extraordinary circumstances, almost all vehicles and pedestrians entering the city must be inspected.
Of course, Yan Xishan's car is an exception.
Soon, someone came to greet Yan Xishan.
The same scene happened with Li Zongren and Han Fuju, but after a few people entered Luoyang, Jiang Li didn't make any move for a while, and he felt relieved for a while.
After just one night's rest in Luoyang, the military meeting began at nine o'clock the next day on time.
The meeting was held in the former palace city of Luoyang.
At this time, it was only decorated in an extremely simple manner, with some tables and chairs added.
Apart from a large number of soldiers in charge of sentry posts, there were almost no other changes.
Even since Jiang Li moved here, Not much trimming was done either.
After all, this was a time of war, so Jiang Li naturally had to lead by example and save resources as much as possible instead of engaging in situationalism.
Of course, the real arrangement is far more than that simple.
Planes at at least four to five airports are ready for use at any time, and the air defense troops stationed in Luoyang are also on nervous alert.
Japanese aircraft are also deadly.
But even so, the magnificence of the Northwest Army made Li Zongren and Han Fuju who came to attend the meeting speechless.
After all, even the central government would only dare to hold a military meeting of such a standard in Yeyin to avoid being attacked by Japanese aircraft.
All served in one pot.
Looking at the entire Republic of China, the only one with such confidence is the northwest.
"The Shijiazhuang battle ended in failure and was captured by the Japanese army.
Our army withdrew all the way through Xingtai and other places, and did not stabilize its position until Handan.
A large area of land was lost.
A total of 38,621 soldiers were killed, 315 were missing, and 61,922 were lightly or seriously injured.

People.
The estimated casualties are over 100,000.
A total of 33 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, 518 vehicles of various types, 173 artillery pieces of various types including combat anti-aircraft guns, and 69 aircraft were lost.
More than 397.16 million rounds of artillery shells of various types were lost.
It consumes more than 40,000 tons of gasoline, diesel and various types of oil."
"After preliminary statistics, the actual results of our army are as follows: more than 17,320 Japanese troops were killed and 327 captured. 83 Japanese aircraft of various types were shot down, 11 Japanese artillery pieces were captured, at least 190 Japanese artillery pieces were destroyed, and various Japanese tanks were destroyed.
Armored vehicles, 106 in total, and 151 cars.”
Hearing the casualty reports from both sides, Li Zongren, Han Fuju, Yan Xishan and others all took a breath.
Yan Xishan was even better.
In the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of Taiyuan, the casualty ratio was still three to one after all, and even three people were killed in the battle. to four Soldiers can be exchanged for one soldier of the Japanese army.
Of course, if you really want to say it, it pales in comparison to the Hebei battlefield hosted by the Northwest Army.
The total number of tanks that appeared in Shanxi was not as many as those destroyed by the Northwest Army in this battle.
The Jinsui Army had only experienced Xinkou and Taiyuan and was now unable to organize a frontal battle against the Japanese army.
However, the main force of the Northwest Army and the Japanese army fought all the way from Pingjin, Baoding, and Shijiazhuang.
Even if Han Fuju and Wan Fulin were hindered, they could still stand firm in Handan.
And even if it fails, it can still cause such shocking casualties to the Japanese army.
And Yan Xishan was more aware of the Northwest Air Force's retaliation against the Japanese airfields in Shanxi after the Jiyang massacre.
However, Japanese aircraft did not appear in large numbers over the Shanxi-Sui Army for quite some time.
This allowed the Jinsui Army to calmly deploy a defense line in southern Shanxi.
When Yan Xishan glanced at Li Zongren and Han Fuju, Han Fuju's expression changed the most.
Li Zongren was also surprised.
However, this record is indeed shocking.
Yan Xishan felt a little more at ease.
After all, the Jinsui Army was struggling to support itself in southern Shanxi, and it was difficult to get ahead for a while.
The stronger the Northwest Army was, the more Japanese troops it would attract.
Even with the Northwest Army, it would naturally attract more Japanese troops.
It's not quite right, but Yan Xishan doesn't want the Japanese to win.
Just from Jiang Li's eyes flashing from time to time, Yan Xishan felt a little gloating.
The protagonist of today's meeting was destined not to be him.
He would wait and see how Jiang Li vented his anger.
However, Yan Xishan did not expect that Jiang Li's reaction would be far away.
Far beyond his expectations.
"It's really unbelievable."
Li Zongren muttered to himself.
At first glance, the Northwest Army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties this time.
However, excluding the casualties of Shang Zhen, Sun Dianying and other troops, there were actually not so many. .
Li Zongren did not expect that the record would be too watered down.
Judging from several invalidations, the Northwest Army did not bother to use puppet troops to fill up its numbers.
When he came to Luoyang yesterday, he had seen the newspaper that was spread everywhere in Luoyang.
The whole page of the tank wreckage could not be faked.
After all, there was no such thing as S in this era.
But what really shocked Li Zongren was that while the Japanese army paid heavy casualties, the Northwest Army's casualty ratio was still less than three to one despite its retreat.
The casualty ratio of aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles was even lower than that of the Japanese army.
If the losses were excessive, it was the Northwest Army's cars and trucks.
The amount of losses is too high.

In fact, Li Zongren and even the Soviet Union at this time did not know that thousands of new cars and trucks of various types were produced from automobile factories in the northwest every month.
The reason why the Northwest Army can achieve such a record is also inseparable from these relatively smooth transportation
