to find the answer

looked at the error message, and saw that there was a 404 in the file download. Then I searched for the file and found the hosts file. I thought it was a python problem, and then I reinstalled various versions of python…

took 3 hours, tried countless answers on the Internet, no solution

solution

improved the version number of sass-loader and node-sass to the latest version, the current latest version is as follows (July 12, 2019)
“sass-loader” : “^7.1.0”,
“node-sass” : “^4.12.0”,

as shown in the figure, modify the package.json file

then execute the following command to install

npm i sass-loader
npm i node-sass

2020-05-06 update

the problem is often the cause of the Node – sass version problem, may be one reason for this is that: because version too old so will cause some dependencies have already can’t find it, the company has a four years ago old projects is this kind of problem, the modified Node – sass version 4.12 is not necessarily suitable for all projects, can test several versions, if the above version failed can try this version

"node-sass": "^4.13.1",
"sass-loader": "^4.1.1",

What if

still fails?

my answer may not be right for you, but you have to believe in the bright side.
