The long-term poverty and weakness of the Jinsui Army was not caused by one or two days. During the Central Plains War, many people were bribed by Principal Jiang, and some of the Jinsui Army were also bribed. However, when Chief Yan saw that the momentum was wrong and retreated faster, he did not let the sentenced officers destroy his army. Otherwise, he would have to give Feng Yuxiang the same as that of Feng Yuxiang and be the vice chairman of the military committee in the central government. Apart from that, there was no other rights.

Every time Chief Yan saw Feng Yuxiang, he sighed that he had moved faster at the beginning. Otherwise, it would be the same now. Some time ago, Feng Yuxiang served as the commander-in-chief of the Third War Zone, and Yan Xishan served as the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone. On the surface, both of them were on equal terms, but what was the situation? They both knew in their hearts that Feng Yuxiang had basically an empty name in the Third War Zone and could not do anything they wanted, but Yan Xishan had the final say in the Second War Zone.

Although there were the Sichuan Army and even some other local warlords in the Second War Zone, the most powerful army in the Second War Zone was the Jinsui Army. The combat effectiveness of the Central Army was slightly stronger than that of the Jinsui Army, but the number of the Central Army was far from the Jinsui Army. The Jinsui Army had been operating here for many years, and all kinds of forces were mixed from top to bottom, so they were very powerful here.

Chief Yan once proudly believed that the mountain area he managed was not able to do anything to the central government. It would be useless to install a person here. But now, all this has become a bubble. No matter how powerful you manage it, what can you do if you can't stop the Japanese attack? Just like now, the Japanese will not bid you directly. Your army can't resist the Japanese attack at all. The Japanese's iron hooves are approaching Taiyuan.

What's going on? Chief Yan is thinking about this issue in his headquarters at this moment. Usually, he is very concerned about this army. The central government has sent people to intervene in this army several times and has been blocked by him. But now the central government has something to say. The Ministry of Military Affairs has sent several telegrams to ask how the counterattack of the Jinsui Army was like?

In fact, the Ministry of Military Affairs also has its own spy in Shanxi. They had known for a long time that the battle had failed. The reason for sending such a telegram was to hit Chief Yan in the face.

"Commander, something is wrong. The Japanese devils' vanguard troops have arrived at the Taiyuan front line, only thirty kilometers away from us." A division commander hurriedly ran in from outside. His army was the 1st Division of the Jinsui Army under Chief Yan. It turned out that the 1st Division of the Jinsui Army in the Battle of North China was the most eye-catching army among all the Jinsui Army troops, because they resisted the attack of the Japanese Fifth Division for up to three hours. Although the entire division lost half of the division, it also earned a lot of reputation for the Jinsui Army.

At that time, the nine infantry divisions sent by the Jinsui Army to the North China War Zone were all lost except the First Division of the Jinsui Army. Only the First Division of the Jinsui Army dragged their troops back to Shanxi with heavy casualties. This was also the strongest combat effectiveness of the Jinsui Army. After they retreated on the battlefield, Chief Yan carried out a large-scale adaptation of them. Now the army can be said to be strong in the army. Even if they heard the Japanese devils approaching Taiyuan, they did not panic at all.

"These damn bastards usually tell me how powerful their army is and that they are better than anyone else. Now the Japanese are really here, and they run faster than rabbits. Send me orders and set up defensive positions on the front line. If anyone dares to retreat, they will directly hit them." Chief Yan suddenly threw his teacup. He was so angry that he was extremely angry now. Not only because he lost his own face, but the most important thing is that if it depends for survival, he would have to go to the central government like Feng Yu, and be honestly assigned to a false position, and he couldn't do anything he wanted.

"Yes, please rest assured, the entire division of my First Division will surely resist the Japanese attack to the death." Gao Mingxiang, the commander of the First Division, said loudly.

"You can just take the 357th Regiment of the 358th Regiment of the First Division. I have other uses for keeping the 356th Regiment for me." When the Commander Gao of the First Division was about to go out, he heard that Chief Yan issued such an order. He looked at Chief Yan behind him in disbelief. He was going to say that he would resist to the end just now? Now he wanted to keep the 356th Regiment, the strongest combat power among the First Division.

Among the First Division of the Jinsui Army, the 358th Regiment and the 357th Regiment were newly formed. The 356th Regiment was the remaining group of veterans in the last battle. It can be said that the combined combat power of the 357th Regiment and the 358th Regiment could not keep up with the 356th Regiment. Now that he wants to leave the 356th Regiment, the strongest combat power, he certainly understood what his old commander meant. More than 100,000 troops were all collapsed overnight. What he could do now is to leave an elite army to stay when he retreated. He had already made plans in his mind. When he had no choice, he would give up Taiyuan.

This is also impossible. For an old fox like Yan Xishan, what kind of resistance on the front line is not the thing he cares most about, and he must maintain his status. Now he feels chills all over when he thinks of Feng Yuxiang's situation in the central government, and even sweats coldly. He doesn't want to be like that too. In a desperate situation, he wants to keep the most elite army in his hands. Even if he is a local tyrant in the future, he will not be the vice chairman of the military committee who has no power in the central government.

"Why are you still stunned? Why don't you take your army up quickly?" Yan Xishan saw that Commander Gao did not move, so he shouted quickly. Commander Gao went out, but his pace was not as firm as before.
