"The situation is very serious for us!" Fan kept comparing a military map hanging on the wall, and the 1:250,000 scale map clearly showed the confrontation between the enemy and us.

"We are seriously understaffed, but we have to face a two-front battle! Even the defense line of the Yellow River in the north from Jinan to Weixian should be taken into account! ”

"How's it going south to buy grain?" After listening to Fan Chong's words, Meng Xiang did not speak directly, and after being silent for a moment, he asked Zhou Baidao.

Zhou Bai, who has passed the test of base reconnaissance, is the first time to participate in such a military meeting, and it may be a little novel at first, but then he was a little worried by a series of descriptions by Fan Chong, and only after hearing Meng Xiang's inquiry, did he raise his head and answer: "The central army is gathering in Lianghuai, and it is also constantly collecting grain, and the price over there is very high, and we have bought a batch at a high price a few days ago." The west has also purchased a batch from Anhui and Hubei, totaling about 30,000 tons, which is being transported here. It is estimated that it will arrive in the next three days, but it is still seriously insufficient! ”

Meng Xiang has been calculating the money consumed by 30,000 tons of grain in his heart, and he can't help but feel another pain in his heart, this grain usually looks cheap, but the amount is large, it is definitely a surprising amount. On average, a ton of grain costs more than 60 yuan, and more than 2 million yuan of this grain and freight alone have already been shipped. At present, the money must first be used to produce weapons for self-protection, and after two or three months, there is no need to buy food, and then a large number of people will go to the devils to grab food.

"Temporarily stop purchasing grain, and first concentrate on building channels to transport grain!" Meng Xiang looked at Fan Chong and said, "The personnel and equipment are ready?" ”

"It's all ready!"

"It's time to fight back!"

"Boom, boom!"

The heavy artillery bombardment of the vanguard army made Ryosuke Isoya very helpless. In the past few days, the 10th Division has filled the Yellow River to the city of Jinan, there are nearly 3,000 people, and the wing of the main attacking Nagano Yoshikuma has only a little more than one brigade left, and such a high casualty rate makes him angry. What is even more hateful is that the heavy artillery cannot cross the river for the time being, but the heavy artillery of the vanguard army is fighting more and more vigorously.

"Have you found the source of their heavy artillery?" Ryosuke Isoya asked Sakata to return to the second way.

"We don't have a very detailed grasp of the arms transactions of various countries, and we are investigating them!" Sakata Guiji is also helpless, these transactions are the secrets of various oligarchs, can they be easily leaked? The investigation on the vanguard side has also been delayed and has not been heard back for a long time, how can it be investigated?

Ryosuke Isoya also understands, but he is just talking at this time. What if you know this thing? If the forces that dare to reach out to the empire behind their backs, how can they be afraid of the empire's protests? At most, it's just passable on face.

"Slowly, I'll see if they have enough ammunition!" He gritted his teeth and said, in fact, this is another angry sentence, the temple has been urging to go south, how can it waste time here?

There was a sound of shaking mountains, and Ryosuke Isoya hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The adjutant staff officer immediately called to inquire, and after a while, he took the earpiece and blinked before saying: "The vanguard army has counterattacked!" ”

"Counterattack? Hold your ground! Ryosuke Isoya also seemed a little surprised by the sudden counterattack of a vanguard army that had retreated from the defense, but he was not surprised. In defense, there is offense and defense, and it is taboo to defend.

On the ground of dawn, the smoke of gunpowder confused the color of Xuyue, making it a little black and dark.

The roar of the engine came from behind the smoke.

"Chariots!" Numata Takazo Osa has a lot of experience, and he immediately heard the source of this sound. His 39th Wing had just replaced the Nagano Wing, which had suffered heavy losses, and looking at the Nagano Yoshikuma who was carried down with gauze on his head, he could only sigh in his heart, who had made them unlucky and hit a reef.

"Be careful, anti-tank guns ready!" Numata Takazo shouted that the 37mm anti-tank guns had been used to suppress the Vanguard machine-gun fire. After the baptism of mortars of the Vanguard Army, there was not much left.

The roar of the engine shook the thick curtain of gunsmoke, and a T-26S tank broke straight out.

"It's that damn Russian tank again!" Numata Takazo knew that the vanguard army had a lot of tanks in their hands, and they were always on guard. However, he didn't have much weapons to deal with tanks, so he could only test the courage of the Imperial soldiers.

Another T-26S tank broke out, followed by three or four. Behind the smoke and fog there was the rumbling of engines.

"So much!" Although Numata Takazo sighed, he did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered his anti-tank guns to take the lead in firing.

"Boom!" A T-26S tank was shot and smoke rose from it, and the two tankers inside quickly crawled out with another unconscious companion in tow, and escaped the attack of the devil's machine gun with the help of the suppression of the companion's tank. The lack of talent makes Meng Xiang's order to protect people first.

Immediately, three more tanks immediately turned their guns and began shelling the positions of the anti-tank guns. Without seeking any precise accuracy, the two anti-tank guns were directly blown into parts with continuous bombardment.

Immediately two other anti-tank guns of the devil also opened fire, directly breaking the track of one T-26S tank.

Behind the thick curtain of gunsmoke, the T-26S tank constantly appeared.

"Nine!" Numata Taka sighed in his heart, there were only six anti-tank guns in his hand, and three more were destroyed just now. There are only five infantry guns left, and only two of the 75 mountain guns are left in the rear, so how can such firepower deal with these combat vehicles that are still appearing.

The artillery fire in the rear of the vanguard army did not stop, and two more infantry guns and one anti-tank gun were knocked out.

"Death squad, prepare!" Numata Takazo shouted, without artillery support, he could only rely on the courage of the imperial soldiers.

Three squads of death squads were already lying in the trenches, bundled with cluster grenades.

A strange roar of the engine came, like the roar of an ancient beast, directly tearing open the thick curtain of gunsmoke, revealing a hideous steel body.

"What a chariot!" Numata Tazo gasped. On the big guy in front of him, the five turrets with reading power were particularly dazzling.

Two levels of turrets, three guns, five machine guns.

"Oh my God! What a monster this is! Kono Fuki, a staff officer next to him, gasped and asked.

"This is a secret tank of Soviet Russia!" Numata Tazo stabilized his fluctuating emotions and said, he couldn't name it, but he had just seen a picture of it. The appearance on the picture is far less terrifying than what you saw at the scene.

Even more terrifying was his firepower, although his speed was very slow, but there was not a single living thing around the deep tracks.

His 10-35 mm armor may not have escaped the fate of being trampled on in the future Soviet-Finnish and World War II Europe, but at this time, it was already a shield of death in front of the devils who lacked anti-tank weapons.

The bullets that struck the steel monster only splashed a few sparks, but it provoked the five machine guns on the monster to fire in unison, constantly reaping the lives of the soldiers everywhere. From time to time, the soldier jumped up with excitement, like a donkey rushing towards a dragon, and then was broken to pieces by a machine gun.

Everyone was startled by the steel monster, and the feeling of powerlessness that had nowhere to start quickly spread to each soldier's head.

"Anti-tank guns!" Numata Tazo shouted loudly that this feeling of powerlessness could not be allowed to continue, or the morale would be over.

He turned around to see the last anti-tank gun blown away by a T-26S tank gun.

"Infantry artillery!" He pushed away Kono Fuki, who wanted him to bend down, and stood around.

But the three guns of the Iron Monster bombarded together, and had just destroyed a 70mm infantry gun that was about to shoot at him. Another lone infantry gun was aligning its muzzles, but there were already at least three tanks with their muzzles pointed there.

"Boom!" The infantry cannon fired a cannonball that landed next to the slow-moving steel monster, causing his form to falter suddenly. Several machine guns on the top also stopped firing.

"Hit!" Kono next to him blows excitedly clenching his fists. There was also a burst of cheers from the surrounding trenches.

The cheering didn't last long before it stopped abruptly. The steel monster began to move again, and although it only took one step, it seemed to be crushed into the devil's heart. Five machine guns rang out for four, but no one was glad that one of them had not yet turned.

The barrage of four machine guns had already shattered the shell of the fragile minds of the devils present at close range.

The rumbling sound came from behind the smoke curtain again, and when another identical steel monster came out, the mental shells of all the devils present were directly smashed with a hammer.
