All five new sub-bases have been upgraded. More tank factories, barracks, logistics equipment centers, repair shops, and air command centers are being built.

Defensive weapons such as guard guns, machine gun bunkers, and French cannons have also been expanded, allowing them to directly participate in the attack when necessary.

When everything was already running according to plan, Meng Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and the occupied territory could be stabilized. With the proximity of the base's logistical support, even recruits can defend an enemy who can be killed with ammo.

After the vanguard army conquered Beiping, it obviously aroused a craze for joining the army at once.

The students who had been left behind, the soldiers of the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army, the landless peasants, the unemployed workers, and the unemployed craftsmen all at once flocked to the ranks of the vanguard army. In just one week, it exceeded 50,000.

"If you are qualified, you will stay, and for the time being, we will expand according to the scale of 500,000!" Meng Xiang instructed Niu Yiyi, who was in charge of conscription.

After fighting this war, we have to deal with the three-front battle and maintain the stability of the SAR and the newly occupied territory, and the 300,000 troops that seem to be too large are not enough, and the expansion of the army has become inevitable.

The completion of the various buildings of the base also made it possible to provide logistics directly to the front line.

"Attack!" Soon after sending Kenji Tsuchihara away, Meng Xiang issued an order to attack.

Kenji Dohihara came to provoke the suspicion of many people. For the stagnation of the vanguard army, many people naturally did not know the huge amount of materials needed to fight the war. As a result, there were rumors that the vanguard army and Yue himself had the intention of making peace and becoming self-reliant. Meng Xiang did not defend himself, and responded directly with actions.

There is still no movement near Tianjin. Meng Xiang found that as the base of the old Beiyang, there are many concessions that have been retained so far, and places where the wealthy in the north gather, and there are too many relationships involved in one Tianjin.

Even Lao Chiang came and ordered a suspension of the attack on Tianjin. One reason is that it involves international diplomacy, and the other is to ensure the peaceful recovery of Tianjin's prosperity, and he advocates talking first and then fighting.

"The many old people in Tianjin are not small! It must have been a joint pressure. Besides, the recovery of Beiping is already our credit, at this time Tianjin is surrounded by all sides, and it is not a way to say that I have been alone in Tianjin for a long time, but it is possible to recover it through negotiations! Someone is playing with such an idea! Pharmacist Tang shook his head and sighed.

"There are still people who don't give up!" Meng Xiang snorted coldly. Although this is not necessarily Lao Jiang's idea, Lao Jiang will definitely not oppose suppressing the edge of the vanguard army.

Old Jiang Ming's order had been given, and many eyes were staring at Meng Xiang to see how he reacted.

At this time, Meng Xiang occupied most of North China, but he had the strength to establish a reading power regime. But if Meng Xiang does this, he will immediately be unanimously condemned by the whole country, and then some people will imitate it in the same way, and many places will read out under the control of others under various excuses, and in the end it is Yu himself who benefits.

In the original history, no matter how much trouble was made within China, no one jumped out to blatantly make trouble with the reading power regime. Meng Xiang was also reluctant to set such a precedent. In addition, many complicated relationships have not yet been straightened out, so Meng Xiang suppressed the attack on Tianjin according to Lao Jiang's orders. But there are no scruples elsewhere.

On November 10, the Vanguard Army's war machine was once again operational.

The first attack this time was Shijiazhuang. The 11th and 15th Infantry Brigades of the 4th Reading Mixed Brigade were stationed here, and the others were transferred to the vicinity of Tianjin. The 109th Division, which was stationed in the Taiyuan and Lishi areas of Shanxi, came to support a brigade. For the vanguard, they did not dare to be careless.

The commander of the 109th Division, Shigehou Yamaoka, was eventually removed and replaced by Lieutenant General Yuki Anami. In order to show that the 109th Division had not been annihilated by the Vanguard Army, the numbers of the other brigades and regiments were still in the original arrangement. The chief of staff of the 109th Division, Kuramo Shuzo Daisa, personally came with the 118 Brigade.

However, the south of the vanguard army relied on the support of the Handan sub-base, and attacked the Zhang Lingfu Brigade of the 41st Division, the 74th Division of Li Hanzhang, and the 39th Division under Pang Bingxun along the Pinghan Railway, and the 81st Division of the Zhanshutang with the support of the Hengshui Base in the east. Although some of the troops remained, at least more than half of the troops attacked.

He was accompanied by more than 250 tanks and more than 600 artillery pieces. The vanguard army did not hide its actions, and with this strength, it was enough to push it straight over. After Cangmao Zhouzang heard the news, his face turned white.

"Shrink the defense, shrink the defense!" He shouted loudly and ordered the surrounding soldiers to shrink to Shijiazhuang, judging from the experience of fighting with the vanguard army, street fighting could better offset the opponent's advantage. In addition, the first line of the Shitai Railway has also strengthened its defense.

Shitai Railway is just changed by the name of the person, that is, the original Zhengtai Railway, from Yanjing Zhengyangmen to Taiyuan, because the section from Zhengyangmen to Shijiazhuang is part of the Pinghan Railway, in October this year, I said that in order to transport coal from Shanxi conveniently, I officially launched the project of changing the narrow gauge of this section of the railway to the standard track, and also changed its name.

As soon as the project began, it was attacked by the vanguard army. The re-railing project came to a halt. The railways at both ends of Shijiazhuang were cut off, and nothing could be transported.

The first war began again with the Air Force.

The Vanguard Army dispatched 24 Ju-88s and 50 Thunderbolts to attack the Daguocun airfield in Shijiazhuang. In 28 years, Yan Xishan built this lawn airfield near Daguo Village in the northwest of Shijiazhuang, because there were few planes and were not commonly used, and the local people changed to cultivated land again. In 35 years, the puppet political axe was changed back to the airport, and in 38 years, the devil has been using it. Because of the Pioneer Army, more than 50 planes were stationed here, and these people were the ones who intercepted the Pioneer Army's transport planes at that time. Always following the movements of the Vanguard Army, they noticed the Vanguard Army planes coming early.

In the face of the 50 Thunderbolt fighters of the Vanguard Army, the devils with a total of less than 30 fighters can only face the battle, but they are no longer able to stop the bombing of the airfield below by Ju-88. More than a dozen other planes that did not take off were blown to pieces, and the twelve land bombers that took off were also beaten down by lightning.

Even if it is the more than 20 planes of the Devil Army Airlines, if it involves the aircraft of the vanguard army, it is okay, but directly fighting with thunder and lightning is purely looking for abuse.

The thick-skinned Thunderbolt is not afraid of their 7.7mm machine guns, but six large-caliber machine guns can directly smash the devil's plane to pieces. After continuous training, the pilots of the Vanguard Army who participated in the battle also grew up and were no longer rookies. Many people's flying skills are no worse than these devil pilots of the Army Airlines. In addition to the superiority of the planes, in the course of nearly half an hour of air combat, from an altitude of more than 7,000 meters to a land skimming flight of 1,200 meters, the thunder and lightning of the vanguard army were seen everywhere driving the devil's plane to escape.

"Go back to Taiyuan!" Hasegawa gritted his teeth and ordered. There were more than 20 fighters, and there were only 10 left, and while the devil was receiving the order, another devil's plane dragged black smoke to the ground.

The Vanguard planes took the opportunity to shoot down the water dogs, using their speed to attack behind them.

"There's a plane ahead!" Kiyu Ragawa, who was flying high in the sky, reminded. Plus two bombers that followed. There are only eleven planes of the devils now.

Hasegawa looked fixedly, and the three-headed bird transport plane of the vanguard army of the brigade appeared in front of him.

"They, where are they going?" Chang Gu said in horror.

The planes escorted by the "Da Da Da" began to shoot first. This time they took off directly from places such as Handan and Hengshui, and instead of using Hellcats, they used the shorter-range Thunderbolt and BF-109.

Only pilots who have no major suspicions after the investigation will be allowed to fly the more advanced Thunderbolt. The vast majority of these pilots are still clone pilots. Although more than 30 clone pilots have died, the total number of trained clone pilots in the Vanguard Army still exceeds 300. In addition, there are more than 500 phoenix warriors who have received ordinary training in hand, and are preparing to take off the hat of a novice.

Sixteen of the escort planes rushed over at once, and the agility of the eight BF-109E immediately blocked the way for the devil planes to try to escape. The swooping Thunderbolt was launched with full firepower, and the two bombers that followed the fleeing were the first to be bombed down.

The thunderbolts who were chasing after arrived, and Hasegawa's fate was already sealed, although Hasemotogawa shot down a BF-109E in the air and damaged a thunderbolt, but his plane turned into a big firework directly in the air.

In this air battle, the vanguard army completely annihilated the enemy planes, and they themselves were shot down 6 planes and 2 people were killed. The transport plane continued to fly, and the heavily armed paratroopers saw the scene of the air battle from the portholes.

"We are also the pride of the air!" Zhang Lingfeng clenched his fists and said.

The paratroopers were effective, and a new paratrooper team was formed, and in just these days, more than forty clone paratroopers were trained again, plus the clones and ordinary paratroopers who had been trained before, a new paratrooper brigade of more than 100 people was formed again. Immediately after a brief adaptation, they have a new task.

When they encountered the devil fleeing the plane, the plane was almost where they were going.

"You've arrived at your destination, ready to skydive." Feng Sanbai's cold voice echoed in the cabin.

Zhang Lingfeng followed his teammates to the cabin door, the cabin door was opened, and a cold wind poured in. The cold wind on the ground in November has already iced your hands, and at this time, it is like a knife cut in the high air, making people unable to reach out their hands.

"Jump!" The team leader next to him, Niu Erqian, roared and jumped down first. The teammates jumped down one by one in order, Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the ant-sized scenery under his feet, although he had been training for more than half a month, he still felt a little dizzy. He shook his head violently, looked at a white cloud in the distance, and secretly encouraged: "We are also the pride of the sky!" Then he gritted his teeth and jumped out of the cabin.

The cold wind was howling in my ears, but the well below was getting closer and closer.

At the same time, along the Taihang Mountain, the Fourth Regiment of the Mountain Brigade, which had just completed its training in the Special Administrative Region, was also advancing here. At this time, the 2nd and 3rd regiments of the Mountain Brigade fought with the Reading Division in Jiangnan. The First Regiment, which had just been withdrawn from Jiangnan, is still resting in the Jiaodong Hills and Luzhong Mountains in the Special Economic Zone. Soon they will strike again.

"Grab that place!" Under the scattered anti-air fire of the devil's rifle, Niu Erqian, who had two bullet holes in his clothes, rushed towards a flat place near Weishan as soon as he landed. Jingcheng is mountainous and flat, and this is a flat place that can be arranged in advance.

"You're finally here!" Lin Baoxi ran over with a box cannon in his hand. There was only an eighteen-man guerrilla squad, but it was well armed, with a box gun and a 38 rifle.

There are many types of weapons in the guerrillas. Rifles generally use Garand, a little Mauser, and there are places where ammunition is insufficient, so use the ammunition resources of the devil to use the 38-type rifle nearby. But the pistols are very uniform, generally Mauser pistols.

It is powerful, has many bullets, and can be used as a submachine gun according to the sweeping style that the Chinese people have figured out.

Some partisan squads will be armed with Czech ZB-26 light machine guns, but some will not have machine guns for ammunition security.

Also according to the situation, the number of guerrilla squads was not constant, sometimes less than ten, sometimes more than thirty or forty.

Although Lin Baoxi's guerrilla squad has only 18 people, it is quite famous around with good weapons, and this year, it is good to have guns in the guerrillas, and Lin Baoxi's squad is equipped with two guns per person in the eyes of many people. However, the main task of these guerrilla squads is not to eliminate devils, but to collect intelligence and carry out various non-combat missions, and the elimination of devils is only incidental. The main force to destroy the devils is the Reading Brigade that fights with them, and if there is a suitable opportunity in the information obtained, the Reading Brigade will concentrate its forces to attack and gnaw away one by one the devil strongholds.

At this time, there was no Reading Force Brigade here, and Lin Baoxi's eighteen-member team directly opened fire with the devils. And around them, paratroopers are constantly falling.

The devil already knew about the existence of the paratroopers, and when he saw the white flowers in the sky, he was just stunned for a while, and then began to attack, but what was ushered in was the strafing of the large-caliber machine guns of thunder and lightning.

It was not enough for more than 100 people to control Jingcheng County, but the more than 30 fighters accompanying the escort had been attacking a squadron of devils defending the Weishan area in the air, completely suppressing their firepower.

The devils around the clearing were quickly cleaned up, and one after another Junker aunts fell one after another, and more than 200 airborne soldiers jumped down in full armor.

At the same time, the vanguard of the brigade did not immediately engage in street battles with the devils, but bypassed the city and rushed straight to other places.
