?Before the battle in Xi'an, the North China Front Army had ten divisions and sixteen brigades of combatable forces. According to the order of the Japanese base camp, nine reinforcements were prepared to enter the pass to fight in the first and second batches of reinforcements in the Kwantung Army.--. Among them, the permanent divisions alone had five, namely, name 9, 10, 11, 12, and 14.

Although most of the permanent divisions have been reduced to the Third Regiment Infantry Division, considering that the artillery, cavalry, labor, and logistics regiments to which they belong have not been weakened much, the permanent divisions are still much better than the new divisions in terms of troop size, equipment quantity and quality.

In addition to a strong attack power, the 2nd Division of the chariot with strong attack power, and the three divisions of the 23rd, 57th and 71st Divisions with strong combat power, the Japanese army about to enter the pass is equivalent to two-thirds of the North China Front Army's troops before the Xi'an operation.

The nine divisions alone came to the aid to the aid to greatly reduce the pressure on Okamura Yanji. The various fighter jets from the Kanto Army made Okamura's old devil happy and saw the dawn of solving the crisis in North China. With this air force, Okamura was confident that the situation in the North China airspace that had previously been arbitrarily traversed the People's Party Air Force would be about to change.

"The base camp has more support for the front army. As long as the Kanto Army's troops can enter the pass, the situation in North China can still be under control!" After receiving a telegram from the base camp and the Kanto Army, Okamura swept away his previous depression, and his face was a little red, and he became excited as if he was injected with chicken blood. However, after the people's hearts were not enough and the pressure was greatly reduced, Okamura was delusional and shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that there are not many new fighter jets in the Kanto Army's aviation. If all those entering the pass are Zero fighters, then the front army can start to recover the lost ground with its cooperation!"

"Your Excellency, although Zero War can be used for land warfare, it is now the main force of carrier-based aircraft. Almost all new aircraft produced in China are invested in Nanyang, and in Australia, there are very few who can get to us." After sighing, Ogito Miji turned to look at Anda 23 and said with some envy, "It's Anda Jun, after going to Australia, he should be able to get the cooperation of Zero War in the battle. At that time, he will definitely add new achievements to the empire!"

"If new achievements are not new achievements, that is the future. Let's deal with the current difficulties first." Anda 23 waved his hand and changed the topic, "Although there are only a few new fighter jets among the Kwantung Army fighter jets, the unit will not be obstructed by the passage and will appear over North China early tomorrow morning. With the cooperation of air forces, will the front army's previous order to shrink the defense line be adjusted? This will also be conducive to subsequent counterattacks."

According to Okamura's order, after the escort army marched northward, the Japanese army in central Hebei, southern Hebei and other places had begun to shrink completely, retreating to the north of the Yongding River and the Pingjin Railway. Although the shrinking force could preserve the strength of the Japanese army and strengthen the defense force in the Pingjin area, the guards could also drive straight into the northward. In this way, even if the North China Front Army could receive timely reinforcements from the Kwantung Army, it would inevitably increase the difficulty of restoring control of North China in the future.

"Before the Kwantung Army's troops entered the pass, the front army had too few troops to defend the area south of the Yongding River, so they could only shrink their troops first. As for the troubles that followed, they could only be solved after the Kwantung Army's troops arrived..." Thinking of the series of sufferings that they will face in the future, Okamura Yasuji was very distressed, shook his head and sighed, "I just hope that the arrival of the aviation army can win enough time for the heavy troops to enter the pass south."

"In addition to the Kwantung Army organizing engineers to step up construction in Gubeikou, Wang Yitang's North China Government Committee has instructed Wang Yitang to organize manpower and material resources to carry out emergency repairs in the southern part of Gubeikou. Advance north and south, and the passage can be repaired at noon the latest day." After introducing the relevant situation, Miji Ogoto further said, "The Kwantung Army's aviation team can fight for one or two more days when the south moves south! After all nine divisions arrive, it should be no problem to consolidate the existing defense zone and gradually expand outward."

After the People's Party armed forces launched a major move against North China, Okamura Yanci and others were worried about the heavy blow to the Japanese army in front, but in addition to the old and Japanese devils, the Han jiāns represented by Wang Kemin, Wang Yitang, Zhu Shen and others were even more terrified, fearing that the People's Party armed forces would attack Pingjin and severely punish them.

But since he got on the pirate ship, and the People's Party listed Hanjiān and Japanese war criminals as the target of "death even if they are far away" a few years ago, Wang Kemin, Wang Yitang, Zhu Shen and other hard-core Hanjiāns worked wholeheartedly for the Japanese. After the Mitsuji of Oshiroto made a request to the North China Government Affairs Committee in the name of the North China Front Command, Wang Yitang, who was then the "Chairman", patted his xiongjia to ensure that he would spare no effort to repair the pass through Gubeikou. In fact, Wang Yitang even offered to repair the pass through Xifengkou and the pass through cold entrance to facilitate the Kwantung Army to enter the pass.

The lackeys were able to understand the master's intentions, which made the old devil Okamura feel very good. He nodded and smiled: "Yo Xi! Wang Yitang and the North China Government Affairs Committee are still useful. If they want to do their job well, the North China crisis will be resolved after this battle, and the benefits they will be given will inevitably be given to them!"

Okamura Yasuji and others were excited about the reinvigorating of their base camp to increase their troops in North China. Although the People's Party, who learned the news through deciphering the telegram, was alert to this, they were not too nervous because of the Kwantung Army's upcoming participation in the war. Even Zhao Zhenzhong, Zhou Mingyuan and others also had the excitement and expectation to annihilate the main force of the Kwantung Army.

"Even if the Japanese base camp can successfully arrive outside the pass through other aspects, it will not be able to adapt to the geographical conditions and severe cold climate outside the pass through in the short term!" Zhou Mingyuan said excitedly, "If the nine divisions of the Kwantung Army were destroyed, not only will North China be successfully captured, but our army will have much less resistance."

"If we can annihilate nine divisions of the Kwantung Army in one battle, it will indeed be of great benefit to solving the North China and Northeast problems. However, the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army were divided into two batches, and the time for the first batch to enter the clearance has been basically determined, but the second batch has just begun to gather. Once the first batch is destroyed, the second batch of Japanese devils must retreat!" Zhao Zhenzhong said regretfully, "In this way, at best, it is certain that the first five divisions are destroyed. It's a pity!"

"It's really a pity!" Zhou Mingyuan smacked his lips as if he was still unfulfilled, and said, "But fortunately, the Japanese even gave him a big shot. It would be good to be able to eliminate the air force that entered the Kwantung Army."

"Although it's a big deal, if you let it attack on the ground, it will still cause a lot of losses to our guards going north. Let the three aviation divisions of the Jinan War Zone be dispatched early tomorrow morning and swipe these more than 200 flys first, so as to save more trouble in the future!" Zhao Zhenzhong tapped the table in front of him with his hand, thus confirming the fate of the Kwantung Army's aviation troops entering the pass.

Seeing that it was almost dusk outside, Zhao Zhenzhong smiled lightly again: "From the early morning of the 9th to now, our army has been dispatched for nearly three days. Not only has our army recovered Guanzhong, but it is about to open up the Longhai Line, but it has also disrupted the three provinces of Jin, Jamaica and Hebei! There are many speculations at home and abroad in the past few days. Later, we call Yun Yi, Yunshan, and Tang Ming. Several of our Standing Committee members in Lanzhou also held a press conference, and it is time to officially issue a communiqué on the relevant situation."

The People's Party's armed forces have attacked for three days and the results have been brilliant.

In the direction of Henan and Shaanxi, the People's Party armed forces not only occupied Guanzhong, northern Henan, eastern Henan, and middle Henan, but also annihilated the 3rd Division to form the 7th, 9th, 15th, and 4th cavalry brigades, and caused nearly half of the Japanese army to fight in Guanzhong.

In Jin, the People's Army not only occupied most of the northern part of Shanxi, but also led its troops eastward to advance. Its front line was less than 100 kilometers away from Peiping. In the past three days of combat, the People's Army even annihilated most of the troops stationed in the Méng Army. It forced the commander of the Méng Army, Ichiro Nada, to lead the remnants to retreat into the mountains of the Great Wall area to defend.

In the central and southern Hebei direction, although the Guards went north for less than a day from launching an attack, the progress speed was not slow due to the weak local Japanese forces and the effective cooperation in the air. On the West Road, the main force of the Third Army of the Guards went north from the Weihe area along the Pinghan Line, and all the way divided troops to capture Handan and Xingtai, approaching Gaoyi, and advanced more than 240 kilometers; on the middle Road, the Lu Xueyi unit of the Fifth Army went north from the Gucheng area, advanced more than 160 kilometers to reach Renqiu; on the East Road, the Gaofeng School of the Second Army went north from Ningjin, advanced more than 180 kilometers to north, and arrived at Jinghai, and Tianjin was already in sight.

In just under three days, the People's Party armed forces wiped out more than 126,000 Japanese troops in a series of wars and caused a large amount of damage. With the absolute advantage of air and ground equipment, especially the advantages of large-scale deep assault operations of armored clusters, the People's Party armed forces paid a total of about 20,000 casualties, and only more than 8,000 of them were sacrificed.

Faced with this huge gap, the proportion of our enemy that was amazing after the announcement, Zhao Zhenzhong was still a little dissatisfied with the proportion of our war losses. In addition to Jiang Bin, the First Army of the Guards, and Ye Sheng, the two units of the two units were in Zhengzhou and Luoyang respectively, the biggest casualties were not in the attack, but because of landmines buried by the Japanese army during the pursuit.

Tanks and armored vehicles are not afraid of ordinary landmines buried by the Japanese. They can carry infantry to follow up cars but have no such protection capabilities. In addition, there are many differences between the width of the tracks of tanks and armored vehicles and the wheelbase of the car. Often, tanks and armored vehicles are fine when they pass, but the car will explode when it comes to press. This situation has occurred in almost all attack directions.

If you want to thoroughly check whether there are landmines on the road along the way, you will have to strengthen the investigation. In this way, in addition to tanks and armored vehicles that can force pass, the infantry following the motorcycle will be difficult to walk. This leads to the fact that if you want to seize the main force of the Japanese army, you will inevitably suffer losses. If you want to avoid losses, you will have to face the situation where the Japanese army will take the opportunity to escape. After some consideration, Zhao Zhenzhong had decided to organize relevant forces to produce special rocket mine demining vehicles as soon as possible to be assigned to combat units at various division levels to further reduce casualties.

"It's true that some news should be made public." After hearing Zhao Zhenzhong say that he was going to hold a press conference, Zhou Mingyuan laughed, "In the past few days, not only Ge Lin, but also Kan Cheng and other party newspapers, military newspapers, and daily reporters surrounded the relevant personnel of the General Staff to get the news as soon as possible. Althorp and Bai Xiude, who had just arrived in the northwest, all heard from me about the news and wanted to get the exclusive news. If there were a few days, these guys would probably come to you to find news!"

"Then it's set at 6 o'clock in the evening. After dinner, let everyone listen to the good news and eliminate food." Zhao Zhenzhong said with a smile.

Although it was already evening, it was heard that the main leaders of the People's Party were going to hold a press conference. The Chinese and foreign journalists who received the notice could not contain their excitement and brought their own equipment. After inspection by the security department, they came to the brightly lit press conference site early to wait.

After Zhou Mingyuan briefly introduced the results of the People's Army and the Guards' Army for three days as the chief of staff of the People's Party's armed general staff, the on-site personnel, whether they were reporters or staff, or the representatives of the people who came here to listen, and government officials, burst into bursts of exclamations and cheers!

"God! Chongqing fought with the Japanese army for more than two months, but it continued to retreat and lost a large area of ​​land. But the People's Party drove the Japanese army out of Guanzhong within three days. This was incredible!" In the years since coming to China, although Bai Xiude had heard of the powerful combat power of the People's Party's armed forces from many sources, he still couldn't help but exclaim after hearing the amazing series of results.

"I'm numb now!" Some time ago, Althorp, who accompanied Bai Xiude on his visit to the northwest as a "pioneer", shrugged and said, "In my opinion, as long as Zhao's leader, there is nothing that the People's Party can't do!"

"Joseph! Don't forget! The Allied forces led by the US military have not made great progress on the Pacific battlefield so far. The Battle of Midway was defeated, the Battle of Guadalam was unfavorable, and the Battle of Australia was still unfavorable, and the Japanese army was not that easy to deal with!" Bai Xiude couldn't help but widen his eyes and lower his voice. "But the People's Party armed forces actually defeated more than 300,000 Japanese troops in less than three days! This means that the Allied forces' combat power is not as good as the People's Party armed forces!"

"White! To be precise, it's not three days. But one day!" Althorp shook his head, sighed lightly, and corrected, "On the first day, the People's Party armed forces won the victory of the Battle of Guanzhong. They occupied a vast area of ​​Henan, cut off the Pinghan Railway, and even won the decision-making victory in Shanxi, Chahar and other places! Since then, the situation in North China has basically been determined!

However, the People's Party armed forces fought with more and less in this battle, while the Allies often fought with less and more in the Pacific and Australia. We cannot say that the Allies are inferior to the People's Army and the Guards!"

The People's Party invested a total of more than 1.1 million troops in this battle, while the total Japanese army in Henan, Shaanxi and North China was only about 400,000, which was indeed the more to fight less. However, on the Pacific battlefield and the Australian battlefield, the Japanese army had 700,000 or 800,000 troops, and the United States-led Allied forces were more.

After thinking carefully, Bai Xiude nodded and agreed: "Joseph, what you said makes sense. You cannot simply compare the Allied forces with the People's Party's armed forces."

After Zhou Mingyuan briefly introduced the achievements of the People's Party over the past three days on behalf of the military, Tian Yunyi introduced the preparations and transportation of disaster relief materials on behalf of the People's Party government, and briefly explained the policy preparations of the People's Party to be in the newly occupied areas such as Jin, Cha, Hebei, Henan, and Shaanxi.

The next one was an hour of free question and answer time. Although there were not many reporters present, they all rushed to raise their hands to signal.

Zhao Zhenzhong glanced at the reporters present, pointed to a thin man in his forties and fifties, who seemed more capable and capable, and said, "The elders are respected, so let's go first!"

The man was overjoyed, suppressed the movement in his heart, stood up and said, "Good evening, Chairman Zhao, I am Wang Songnian, editor-in-chief and reporter of Xi'an Zhengyan Daily. According to the news from General Staff of Zhou, Pilu, the People's Army and the Guards have formed a pincer attack on the Japanese army in North China. What I want to ask is, when will Pingjin be captured? Will it continue to march into the Northeast after capturing Pingjin? How long will it take to liberate the Northeast?"

"Wang Songnian?" Zhao Zhenzhong frowned and said suspiciously, "I remember there was a reporter from the Ta Kung Pao before named Wang Songnian. He was the first reporter to report on the September 18th Incident. Could it be the same name and surname?"

"It's so that Chairman Zhao learned that I am the one Wang Songnian you mentioned! After leaving Ta Kung Pao this year, I founded the tabloid "Zheng Yan Bao" in Xi'an, hoping to promote righteousness and express the voices of the people." Seeing that Zhao Zhenzhong mentioned his deeds in person, Wang Songnian became even more moved and said with a red face, "September 18th is the national humiliation, and it is also the beginning of the Japanese invasion of China. The People's Party takes it as its responsibility to safeguard the interests of the people. Now it has the powerful force to defeat enemies in one battle. I wonder when it will be able to avenge the national humiliation?"

"Mr. Wang is the first reporter to report on the September 18th Incident. Now he has founded a newspaper to speak for the people. This is great!" Zhao Zhenzhong looked at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him, and felt respect. After pondering for a moment, he said, "The Pingjin problem should be solved soon. Overall, it will be only in these ten days and half a month. It is the unshirkable responsibility of our party and our army to march into the Northeast and rescue 30 million elders from the Japanese bayonet. This will be carried out after the Battle of Pingjin. As for the specific time to liberate the Northeast, it is not easy to determine now, but it will be within the next two years!"

"Ming, the next two years!" Wang Songnian repeated the words, and when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with tears. He trembled with politeness and asked anxiously, "I finally saw the dawn of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan! Then when can I march into Jiangnan and drive all the Japanese out of China?"

"In terms of my personal mood, I hope to eliminate all the Japanese devils overnight! But this is unrealistic." Zhao Zhenzhong sighed and explained, "South of the Yellow River Flood Zone, not only the Japanese army, but also the corrupt and reactionary Chongqing authorities, as well as the Nanjing pseudo-government that recognizes thieves as their fathers and sells the country for prosperity. If our army does not solve the problem in the north and is fully prepared, it will be difficult for our army to move south rashly. It is estimated that the time will be postponed."

Thinking about the thieves and corrupt officials in Nanjing and Chongqing, Wang Songnian bowed to Zhao Zhenzhong and said sadly: "The vast China and the great mountains and rivers are so beautiful that they were harmed by those thieves! I hope that your party and army can clear the world as soon as possible and return the bright world of China!"

"Mr. Wang is so optimistic about our party, our army?" Zhao Zhenzhong couldn't help but smile.

"Since your party recovered Shannan in 37 years, I think that it is your party who can lead the people to fight against the invasion of the great powers and revival of China! All of the achievements of your party since the War of Resistance and the various actions of saving the people are proof!" Wang Songnian said, "When Pingjin is recovering, there will be many people who can have the same views as me!"

"Mr. Zhao, I protest!" Bai Xiude, who had been sitting on the side for a while, couldn't help but raise his hand and shouted, "This is a press conference, not an exclusive interview, and you can't give all the opportunities to this Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Wang, since someone has protested, we will talk again in the future if we have the chance!" Zhao Zhenzhong smiled apologetically, and pointed at Bai Xiude and said, "Since this gentleman protested, then you can ask."

"I am a reporter from the American Times magazine in China. My name is Bai Xiude!" Bai Xiude first smiled proudly for his chance, and then continued, "My question is, after this battle, how much time will your party take to restore local production? Can we reporters accompany us to the rescue and resettlement of disaster victims and refugees?"

"The work on disaster relief and production recovery is under the responsibility of our party and government. Chairman Tian Yunyi will answer you about this issue." Zhao Zhenzhong nodded to Tian Yunyi, and the topic was then responded to Tian Yunyi.

...

An hour passed quickly, and the entire press conference was a complete success. The reporters, who were already impatient, hurried back to their base, busy sorting out the records and writing press releases so that the relevant news could be published in major newspapers and magazines at home and abroad as soon as possible tomorrow morning. The news posted by the People's Party at this press conference is destined to cause another sensation at home and abroad!!!
