For the whole day on November 1st, the Jinghai area was calm. In Tangshan, north of Tianjin, the vanguard army and the devils are in a stalemate. The vanguard army occupied the railway station, but there were not many troops to send. The 16th Wing of the Shanhaiguan devils is harassing again. Although the devils of Zunhua were difficult to protect themselves, they rushed through Fengrun and directly supported Tangshan under the dispatch of Shouichi in the temple.

Terauchi Shouichi knew that if Tangshan was breached, Tianjin would be even more dangerous. Since the troops were insufficient, he gave up directly in other places, and the surrounding devils were concentrated in the area of Tangshan and Tianjin, while the devils supporting in the north were firmly guarding the area of Chengde.

Because Tangshan is relatively close to Tianjin, new reinforcements are constantly being added. Zhao Junmai once captured most of Tangshan all the way, but the continuous arrival of reinforcements made the devil even more crazy. The devils in the surrounding mining areas, the expatriate armed forces, also organized people to participate in the attack.

Some hardcore Han Annihilation also participated in the attack, and they also knew the measures of the vanguard army, the devils had occupied it for so long, and they could not escape the final punishment if they were not clean under their hands. Although the Vanguard declared that there would be no death penalty as long as the Vanguard did not actively resist when it entered, the loss of power and wealth was also unbearable.

He said that the fierceness of his counteroffensive actually brought the Marines' offensive to a halt. The base camp could no longer bear the outcome of consecutive defeats, and gave the devil a death order, and all the jade shatters could not retreat. It was the madness caused by this that made the devils squeeze the vanguard out of part of the Tangshan neighborhood with a huge casualty rate.

However, the overall situation of Beiping has been decided.

In the evening, there were only sporadic gunshots in the city.

"Tonight, we can cheer!" After ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Xiang smiled and said, and his words were immediately transmitted through the airwaves.

It was not only the vanguard army that cheered together, but the whole country fell into a carnival again.

Beiping is the first city with the significance of the capital recovered by China, although Qingdao and other places have also been recovered before, and even this morning, Xuzhou has also been recovered, but the meaning of Beiping is different. As the capital of several dynasties, it was once the center of Chinese politics and culture.

His recovery was a great victory for the Chinese resistance.

"Today's drinks are all free, celebrate the recovery of Beiping!" Many taverns and teahouses put up signs like this to entertain the drinkers who waited all night by the radio to follow the progress of the Vanguard.

Some people have already run out on the streets of Peking and started setting off firecrackers. The sound of firecrackers in the city was loud, and there was a fierce shootout that made people suspicious.

"The base is built in place!" At this time, Meng Xiang was constantly busy with the affairs of the base. The coal resources near Xinxiang are very rich, and when Zhang Lingfu captured Xinxiang, a prepared base car also arrived near Xinxiang. In the direction of Jiaozuo, a new sub-base was launched.

At the same time, under the assault of the tank armored force, Pang Bingxun's 39th Division had already assaulted under the city of Handan, and the 3rd Wing of the 27th Infantry Regiment of the Devil's Garrison Regiment near Handan immediately shrank in Handan City, preparing to fight street battles with the vanguard army. The previous battles with the Vanguard Army have made the devil understand that there is not much chance of winning in a battle with the chariots of the Vanguard Army in the wilderness, and the scattered forces are easy to be broken by each one.

"Even if it is reduced to ruins, it cannot be easily won by the vanguard army!" This devil's words from Tangshan also made the captain of the 3rd Wing, Tomio Miyazaki, deeply agree.

Like Shouichi Terauchi, he abandoned the surrounding county seats, concentrated his forces on Handan, and guarded Yongnian to maintain the access to the Pinghan Railway in the direction of Shijiazhuang.

Although the devils of the 4th Reading Force Mixed Brigade in Shijiazhuang reinforced Beijing and Tianjin, the defense of Shijiazhuang did not fall, and after hearing the attack of the vanguard army, the devils in the north of Shanxi took the initiative to attack and strengthened the defense around Shijiazhuang.

Meng Xiang was not in a hurry to attack it, but ordered the 39th Division to occupy the surrounding county seats, and divided his troops to attack south, cooperating with the 74th Division to capture the northern Henan region.

Back then, Pang Bingxun directly defeated the famous Northern Henan Red Gun Society in northern Henan, and under the encirclement and suppression, the Red Gun Society disappeared. They were very familiar with the northern Henan region, so they transferred them to the south to participate in the operation to stabilize northern Henan.

The vanguard army expanded too quickly, and it took time to digest the excessive amount of land occupied.

Under the cover of night, a base car also quietly drove to the Fengfeng area in the southwest of Handan, and under the command of Meng Xiang, it was launched and began to be built. The Fengfeng Coal Mine there was also a well-known large coal mine in later generations. With energy, there is the development of the base.

Although Beiping was occupied, all kinds of military supplies needed to be airlifted from the Special Administrative Region, and without the support of the base, it was difficult to guarantee the large amount of military supplies consumed.

Jinghai remained calm, but the line of defense between it and Xiongxian was broken through by the armored forces of the vanguard army of more than sixty T-34 tanks, and then cut off the connection between Bazhou and Tianjin. But the vanguard army did not attack the city, but went straight to Langfang. The devils there have been guarding the direction of Beiping, but they didn't expect the vanguard army to attack from behind. was caught off guard, if it weren't for the unfavorable street fighting of the armored forces, I was afraid that it would be broken by the vanguard army.

However, the strength of a battalion accompanying the armored forces controlled Yongqing. In the night, a base car also passed through the passage occupied by the vanguard army first and came to the vicinity of Langfang, and unfolded under Meng Xiang's instructions.

In the area of Beijing and Tianjin, except for the Kailuan coal mine, Meng Xiang does not remember where there is coal. Later, according to the information provided by Rat Er, there were many coal resources in Mentougou and Fangshan, and most of them were seized by himself. There is also a Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant, which was later known as Capital Iron and Steel.

It was a factory that was built during the Beiyang period when the price of steel was high in World War I, but after the collapse of the Beiyang political axe, because of the large investment in steel mills and the fall in steel prices after World War I, the unfinished factory has been idle. At that time, the layout of the Beiping area was controlled by Zhang Xueliang, that is, in the hands of Song Zheyuan.

On the contrary, after the occupation of Beiping, he immediately organized prisoner laborers to repair and rebuild. In four months, the No. 1 blast furnace with an effective volume of 389 cubic meters began production. In the next few years of occupation by the devils, the 260,000 tons of steel produced in this place alone will almost catch up with more than half of the steel production in the central military control area.

After Peiping was occupied by the Pioneer Army, the workers here, also at the instigation of the Third Propaganda Brigade and with the cooperation of the Reading Brigade, occupied the factory and captured the technicians and managers of the devils. According to the advice of relevant experts in advance, once the blast furnace stops down in the middle of the process, it is very likely that the blast furnace will be destroyed. So throughout the battle, blast furnace No. 1 was not discontinued. While the iron and steel workers are producing, they are guarding the safety of the Shijingshan Iron and Steel Plant.

The reason why Meng Xiang chose to build a sub-base in Langfang was mainly because the sub-base in Langfang could control Beiping and Tianjin at the same time, and the largest saving was the number of sub-bases, and the limited number of sub-bases made him have to be careful in his calculations.

At the beginning, the first power station was built near the Jingfeng Railway from Beiping to Tianjin, and the train was directly opened to transport coal supply. At first, the buildings of the base were temporarily suspended, and after the scope of the upgrade was expanded, the mining plant and power plant could be directly relocated to Fangshan and Mentougou.

At this time, in order to hurry up and stabilize the Beijing-Tianjin area as soon as possible, we had to do this.

The devils contracted to defend Shijiazhuang and Baoding, and the 81st Division garrisoned in Texas also took advantage of this to attack and conquer all the way until the Fuyang River approached the city of Hengshui. However, near Dezhou, Mengxiang did not have information about coal mines, but near Hengshui, there were rumors of large coal mines in later generations, and the geothermal resources in Shenzhou, Jizhou, Wuqiang and other places there were also very rich.

In order to combat and stabilize the surrounding area of Shijiazhuang in the later period, Meng Xiang also placed a sub-base here.

After the construction of the first power station in a geothermal outcrop of the discovered geothermal outcrop, the Hengshui base also began to be built rapidly.

Overnight, Meng Xiang built four sub-bases.

The location of some bases is not ideal, but in order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, using known energy sources, such an arrangement is available. As the territory of the vanguard army expands, the base may be adjusted again. At this time, the base has really become a forward base, take a step to place a base, and push forward. This is also better than being safe, and it is enough to make up for the shortcomings of logistical support difficulties.

At this time, the three overseas sub-bases, one in Linyi and Tancheng held the southern front, one in Caoxian held the southwest, and one each in Gaomi and Qixia held Jiaodong. Jinan also has another that can be adjusted, so that 8 sub-bases, plus the newly built 4, the sub-bases are all completed. Coupled with the main base in Qidu, all 13 places are occupied. In the future, if you need to defend the city, you can only adjust it from here.

So far, the Jinan sub-base can be adjusted, and the sub-base in Kalimantan Island in the South Ocean can also be adjusted. In addition, the others were all tight, which made Meng Xiang feel extremely resentful of this restriction in his heart.

The number of places is limited, one is to be careful in budgeting, and the other is to upgrade desperately, after being promoted to a third-level base, it can be expanded to 36 sub-bases at once, plus it may be a direct jurisdiction of 1,000 kilometers, easily covering all of Huaxia. Besides, when the time comes, get rid of the remote control limit of 10,000 kilometers, and it may reach 100,000 kilometers, so that the sub-bases can be directly spread all over the world.

"Upgrade! Keep upgrading! Meng Xiang couldn't help but shout after watching the merit value of the continuous attack on the territory that had risen sharply for a while.
