Ten seconds later, everything returned to a moment of tranquility, and then a large number of devils cried and fled in all directions with the flames and blood on their bodies, and the devils' army completely collapsed.

"Attack!" Zhang Lingfu shouted, with the first shock, everyone was prepared in their hearts, and when the tiger roar of the rockets that crossed their heads stopped, the vanguard took the initiative to attack. More than thirty BT-7 tanks rushed out first. It was crawling with soldiers accompanying them.

Take advantage of the devil's failure to react and rush to the devil's side as quickly as possible, and make up for a shot is a call to victory.

But at this time, the devils can no longer be expected to organize an attack, the main force of the devils is also a group of hot-blooded recruits, and after being ruthlessly poured ice water by Blizzard's rocket artillery, it collapsed all of a sudden. No matter how much the officers shouted and reprimanded, everyone just wanted to leave that hellish place and not be overwhelmed by the flames that roared in the sky.

The boundless sea of fire brings only helplessness and helplessness, and the sense of powerlessness that makes human beings extraordinarily small makes people desperate.

"It's snowing!" Zhang Lingfu didn't rush forward this time, his heart was still in the shock just now. He raised his head and watched the white snowflakes fall one by one. Each snowflake fell around him like a fragment of memory. From his own study, entering Whampoa, receiving the principal's training, to later killing his wife and going to prison, pardoning and killing Yukou, until he entered the vanguard army, all kinds of scenes flashed through his mind with the falling snowflakes. In the end, the acquaintance came to negotiate with him and led the team to the center. The man's smile was so familiar, and it seemed to be far away, and that contradictory feeling made his heart like the flame that he had just looked at from afar, and it was about to burst.

A snowflake fell on his forehead, and the cold sensation made him wake up suddenly.

"Defend Huaxia and swear to kill the Japanese Invaders!" A soldier ran past him not far away shouting slogans he had personally taught.

"Huaxia?" Zhang Lingfu muttered to himself in a low voice. Looking at the snowflakes that fell in the palm of his hand, he clenched his fists suddenly, the snowflakes melted quickly, Zhang Lingfu looked at the vanguard soldiers who were constantly advancing in the direction of the devil's escape in the distance, and couldn't help but firm his choice, his body shook up, and shouted: "Defend Huaxia and swear to kill the Japanese invaders!" ”

In his heart, the shadow of Huaxia is getting bigger and bigger, and the allegiance to someone that he used to recite has gradually dimmed.

"This thief, my God, was fine just now, why did it suddenly snow?" Hu Minghe wiped a snowflake that fell on his eyebrows, and the armored vehicle under him was constantly rushing forward, but there was no roof, allowing the snowflakes to pour in with the wind whistling in his ears.

"The weather in the area of Zhuhong Temple, we have asked, there are not many times when it snows so early!" Yang Bo, a staff officer of the brigade headquarters who accompanied him, was recommended by his old friend Li Tiexia. This time, the 50th Division served as a defensive errand again, which made Li Tiexia continue to be depressed, but he easily recommended Yang Bo to experience the experience.

Yang Bo looked at the sky and said, "The rapid convection of hot and cold air is prone to produce abnormal weather, and the attack just now is too amazing!" He was also amazed in his heart, the attack just now in a short period of time was comparable to the bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, and the intensity of such an attack was unprecedented even abroad.

"This kind of artillery fire will gradually take up a part of the position of ordinary artillery! What would be the effect of such an attack on a ship? What about the sky? He pondered.

"What?" Shouichi Terauchi sat back in his chair weakly. In this way, the four divisions were defeated in just over an hour, to be precise, in two blows of less than a minute from the vanguard army. The field was full of soldiers fleeing like headless flies, and the officers who couldn't contain them couldn't count the casualty rate, but the original place had been piled up and full of severed limbs and stumps.

Terauchi Shouichi couldn't help but feel a burst of fear in his heart: "What kind of weapon is this, which actually made the heroic imperial soldiers escape, and let the four divisions be defeated in an hour or two?" If they were to be used in Tianjin or elsewhere, how many divisions and regiments would the empire have to support it? ”

"Evacuate in the direction of Zhengzhou! All retreat in the direction of Zhengzhou! Sugiyama Yuan roared loudly, "Wait until the vanguard army rushes over and prepares to carry out the Yellow River plan!" ”

After roaring, he sat down weakly as if he had been drained of all his strength.

"How did the Vanguard become so powerful? That's four divisions! ”

"I just ran away like this?" Meng Xiang was also surprised when he heard the news, and in the cheers of everyone in the command, he shook his head slightly and said in surprise: "Not really, right?" When did the devil become so vulnerable? ”

Although the 13th and 16th divisions were only half, they also added up to three divisions. Even if it is attacked by 200 rocket launchers, it will not be affected by all of them, so why will it collapse all at once?

The news from the front kept coming, and the devil really fled without caring about anything, and there were piles of things discarded on the road.

"Is this still the crazy army of Yuben?" Meng Xiang couldn't figure it out.

In fact, he ignored that the 10th, 16th, and 116th divisions were mostly composed of recruits after several battles. When things go well, it's good to say, courage makes those veterans ashamed. But if there is a headwind, they will follow the crowd when they are at a loss. Once the rout is formed, under the panic of the devil's recruits, no one can control the fleeing collective**, and those devil officers are no matter how capable they are, they can't stop it immediately.

At this time, the vanguard army was rushing behind them, and they couldn't organize it. The small resistance teams formed one by one with dozens of people were rushed by the tanks behind and dissipated. The rout of the devil re-demonstrated the defeat scene of the Central Army back then, and everyone only cared about fleeing, only to fall under the guns of the vanguard army chasing after them one by one.

In the sky, the planes of the vanguard army took advantage of the fire to rob, and after forcing back the devil's plane, they directly dived down, and drove their machine guns over the devil's head, like chasing ducks, driving them farther away.

This situation did not last long, after all, the devil's officer system was sound, and the usual training was strict, after a period of fear and confusion at the beginning, in the face of the pursuit of the vanguard army, they gradually gathered together and began to use the surrounding terrain to fight back. Especially in Shangqiu, a period of blocking made the pursuit of the vanguard army stagnate. And the devil took the opportunity to gather the soldiers.

As long as there is a large-scale counterattack, it will slowly affect other people. The devils fled without dropping their weapons, and more and more soldiers joined the counterattack, and under the orders of officers of all ranks, they regrouped into formation.

Maybe there was no longer the threat of rockets, or maybe it was because he was ashamed of his escape just now, and the calm devils resisted very frantically, and the meat bullets collapsed one by one, blocking the pursuit of the vanguard army for a while.

The tiger's roar sounded again, and seeing the fire clouds in the sky reappearing, the newly organized devil army immediately collapsed again. Although there were many fewer people scattered this time, under the leadership of these people, the army of the devils was forced to retreat backwards by the vanguard army that took the opportunity to rush up, the 10th Division directly withdrew from Shangqiu, and the 116th Division and the 16th Division evacuated Lankao.

"One more round! You don't need us to fight, the devil will run away by himself! Wang Erxi stood on the ruined city wall of Shangqiu, looked at the devils who were slowly integrating in the distance, and sighed.

But the Katyusha rocket launcher was fired for the time being. Just now, it was just Katyusha who caught up with the speed of the delivery vehicle, and there was such a round of shooting, but the ammunition was insufficient. At that time, when it was defending, the ammunition equipped to fire ten rounds was prepared nearby, which could be solved nearby, but after rushing out, the ammunition trucks that were replenished were even less supplied.

Although there are not many personnel working in a Katyusha, more than a dozen people are required to serve the logistics of transporting ammunition and loading ammunition. Just now, some of the rocket launchers rushed out, carrying only one round of ammunition, and after firing, they had to turn around and rush back. Even if some rocket artillery still has ammunition, it is not fired in clusters, so it does not show the deterrent power of rocket artillery at all.

When he was already a little numb from the three rocket attacks, Sugiyama Moto's order came down.

Almost at the same time, Meng Xiang's order also came down. Hu Minghe's brigade stabilized its position, and after occupying the first-line county of the Longhai Railway, it no longer pursued, stabilized the Longhai line, and took over the defense line of Zhang Lingfu's brigade, and Zhang Lingfu's brigade crossed the Yellow River to attack Xinxiang.

This plan Meng Xiang and others have already discussed, if Beijing and Tianjin are stabilized in North China, they must consolidate the north of the Yellow River to protect the land of Beijing and Tianjin. Entering the Central Plains, the land of four wars, and at the same time dealing with the surrounding forces, this is obviously not in line with Meng Xiang's intentions. Crossing the Yellow River, attacking Xinxiang, and going north to attack Hebei became the follow-up part of Plan No. 1.

The long-prepared sapper corps was already erecting pontoon bridges at the beginning of the battle near Lankao in Cao County. More than 200 large and small civilian boats from the canal and Weishan Lake also set out together, from Dongming to Liangshan, and soon set up eight pontoon bridges on the Yellow River.

Zhang Lingfu's brigade crossed the river from Dongming to attack Xinxiang, the 74th Division crossed the river from the Liangshan area and went straight to Puyang, and Pang Bingxun's army attacked Handan from near Liaocheng, which was aided.

After the battle in Linyi, there were only about 3,000 people left in Pang Bingxun's team, which were filled by the vanguard army, but the transformation was the first to be completed. Lao Pang is also very familiar with current affairs, Meng Xiang did not squeeze out his position, and he also cooperated to complete the transformation. If you don't cooperate, you can't do it, as soon as you join the vanguard army, the soldiers under your hands are attracted by the policies of the vanguard army, and the soldiers under your hands are gone, so what's the use of only a few dozen hardcore people?

In front of these three teams were more than 200 tanks of the 2nd Tank Regiment that charged. Especially in front of Pang Bingxun's team, more than 100 tanks crossed the river in advance and lurked in the area of Guanxian, and after receiving the signal to attack, they immediately attacked, attacking all the way, Liankeguan Tao and Feixiang, and approached the city of Handan.

The original 116th Division stationed in Xinxiang was hit hard this time, and as the 16th Division retreated to Zhengzhou, Xinxiang was empty, and only one brigade was defeated by Zhang Lingfu's brigade who crossed the river. The soldiers forced the reinforcements of the 109th Division of the devil who came to the rescue from Jiaozuo.

At this time, Wei Lihuang's sortie plan also started as early as 5 o'clock in the morning, which attracted most of the devil's troops at once, which was also a reason why Zhang Lingfu successfully conquered Xinxiang, which was originally supposed to be defended by the 109th Division. Wei Lihuang's attack made the vanguard army pick up a bargain.

After the expansion of the 74th Division, especially after the implementation of the SAR subsistence allowance policy, Li Hanzhang already felt that he could no longer control the team. The policy of the vanguard army was most attractive to the soldiers and the middle and lower rank officers, and the high-ranking officers were not as good as before because of their extra money. But the soldiers below no longer obeyed the call, and there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, Meng Xiang did not wantonly cut the domain, and Li Hanzhang had no other ideas for the time being, and he still worked hard to fight the national war.

Their attack this time was to attack Puyang, and under the full attack of Li Yizhi's brigade, Puyang, which was defended by a brigade, was broken by the vanguard army after holding out for a day. At this time, the other two brigades of the 74th Division had already attacked the vicinity of Tangyin.

"How could they not attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou?" Sugiyama Motohiro jumped.

Although the halt of the attack by the vanguard army allowed the four defeated divisions to gather the remnants of the army and stabilize it, a plan to turn defeat into victory was also aborted. Also because the 116th and other divisions were defeated too quickly, the other teams that took over the defense were beaten by the vanguard army before they could arrive, and seized the land north of the Yellow River.

Stealing chickens does not become a counter-erosion of rice, which is exactly to describe Sugiyama Yuan's depressed mood at this time.

"Emergency!" Rat Er walked in quickly, and when he came to Meng Xiang, he handed him an urgent telegram.

This kind of urgent message with five red stars was the first time that Meng Xiang had encountered it since he determined that the number of stars should be used to process message information.

"Ahh After Meng Xiang read it, he was also taken aback.

The emergency telegram was sent by the decryption team, and the deciphered message was passed, and the decipherment team decrypted a plan that the devil intended to execute.

Inspired by Lao Chiang, Sugiyama also developed a similar plan. Although it is already early winter, the Yellow River has not yet frozen, even if the amount of water is small, if the embankment is blown up, it will be no problem to break the vanguard army to attack Kaifeng and Zhengzhou. As a backup plan, the devil's people who blew up the dam have been waiting there, and it was Sugiyama Gen who heard that the devil's four divisions were defeated, so he sent this secret telegram, which was intercepted and decrypted by the decryption team.

Meng Xiang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat after reading it, fortunately, he was not interested in capturing the Central Plains at that time, and when the time came, he was not interested in entangled with Lao Jiang and several surrounding forces, and chose to cross Hebei to attack, otherwise he would impulsively chase the devil to the death, and maybe he would fall into the trap of the devil.
