The battle in Jiaodong has ended, and most of the devils in Yantai Port were killed and wounded under the joint attack of aircraft, tanks and submarine torpedo boats. The commander of the 133rd Brigade, Major General Mitake Tsuda, was killed by an aircraft bomb, and the wing commander of the 110th Wing, Shinichi Yanagawa was wounded and unconscious, and the soldiers escaped with him in a speedboat. Less than a hundred fled with them.

The entire 110 Wing's two brigades in Longkou and Yantai have been completed, and one brigade is still stationed in the Weihai area.

Sang Mu Chongming, who escaped from Qingdao, decisively ordered the devils to start shrinking their defenses, abandoning Jimo and Haiyang, which were attacked by the vanguard army, and retreating all the way to Weihai. With the scattered strength of the devils, they will definitely be defeated by the vanguard army. Even hiding in the pillbox, it could not stop the artillery of the vanguard army. Only by concentrating forces will it be possible to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

The vanguard army pursued all the way until Wendeng, and after receiving the order from above to stop attacking and defending on the spot, they confronted the devil troops in the Wendeng area in the area of Kunyu Mountain.

At this time, the 110th Division Wing of the devil was still intact, that is, the 140th Wing, plus a brigade of the 110th Wing, the 110th Cavalry Brigade. The rest even the sapper and light and heavy wings lost more than half.

The Devil planes that came to the rescue from Tianjin and Dezhou were shot down 18 and then retreated, while the vanguard lost only 6 planes, and the pilots were killed and wounded. With the improvement of the level of pilots in the vanguard army, coupled with the great surpassing of the aircraft surname, the advantage of facing the devil is more obvious.

The 116th Division, which had pressed over on the north bank of the Yellow River, had been circling around the north bank of the Yellow River since it was bombed by the planes of the Vanguard Army. The devils in the west and south also moved, but they were immediately stopped by the vanguard army.

Huang Baitao also took the opportunity to recover the guard of only one wing of the 114th Division, and guarded the Lanshan area, confronting the 114th Division in Lianyungang.

It was not until the third day that the Vanguard Army and the remaining men and horses of the 110th Division confronted each other in Wendeng for a day, and the fighting between the two sides gradually subsided.

In less than three days, the vanguard army had recovered most of the Jiaodong Peninsula. And with the help of the people, it took less than a week to quickly clear the remnants of the enemy. To this end, Meng Xiang announced that the people in these areas would also be included in the subsistence allowance policy, and the people were thunderous.

Compared with the people's attention to the stationing of the task force, Meng Xiang is more concerned about the safety of the newly acquired areas.

With the expansion of the territory and the necessary movement of the army to prevent the hilltops, the defense zones between the various units also need to be readjusted.

After the adjustment, Huang Baitao took the 50th Division to garrison the Jiaodong area; Sun Liren's performance in the battle at this time has been preliminarily recognized by everyone, and after Long Yi is arranged, he can replace Long Yi as the new commander of the 18th Division. The 18th Division was responsible for defending the northern front of the SAR, all the way to the Dongping area to the west.

The 41st Division was responsible for Zaozhuang and Linyi in the south, and Jining in the west.

The trained 81st Division is responsible for assisting in the defense of the 41st Division, while the 22nd Division is assisting in the defense of the Weifang area. The 74th Division is still being reorganized.

"I order, build a shipyard." As soon as Meng Xiang occupied Longkou and Penglai, he issued an order to build a shipyard factory, conquered Yantai and Qingdao, and built one each. Now the threat of the devil's army and air force to the vanguard army is not very great, but at sea, the devil's fleet group is coming, and it is really difficult to defend.

The first thing to do in the construction of a shipyard is naval guns and submarines, especially naval guns. There is still a great shortage of naval personnel, but after a large amount of training in artillery personnel, there are quite a few talents.

"Is this still a cannon?" Deng Dayan circled around the British-made MKI 18-inch naval gun in front of him a few times, measured it with his hands a few times, and still sighed loudly.

"Why isn't it a cannon, or you climb in and take a look, the 457 mm caliber will be fine with both of you!" Kong Ci next to him joked about the thin Deng Dayan. He is now the commander of an artillery division with more than 10,000 men in the vanguard army, and his command has expanded to three brigades.

The smallest caliber of the artillery division is 105 mm, and the 75 mm mountain artillery and field artillery are directly assigned to the regimental and brigade artillery units, and even the divisional artillery is 105 mm.

There were nine regiments of the artillery division, and each regiment had three battalions.

There were four 105-mm howitzer regiments, two regiments armed with 36 Le.FH16 howitzers, and the other two regiments with 36 Le.FH18 howitzers.

The two regiments were 36 150-mm K16 cannons, and there was a 24-gun regiment of 203-mm heavy artillery, which still used the 203 heavy guns of the British. They are all artillery from the First World War, mainly cheap and affordable, and the artillery that suppresses the devil is more than enough.

Two more regiments are being formed, and most of the old artillery has begun to be phased out and sold. New artillery is still vacant due to the need to crowd the production line with tank vehicles. But even these artillery, together with the artillery units directly under the various units, are already the first in China. Although there are quite a few artillery pieces of the Central Army, with nearly 1,000 guns, most of them are 75 mm and smaller calibers, and many of them are sold by Meng Xiang. Where can the superior firepower of the large-caliber artillery of the vanguard army be compared?

In addition, because it involved the secrets of the base, Meng Xiang separately listed the special artillery units and merged them into the Second Artillery Corps to form a reading artillery brigade, and the brigade commander was Tiger Ten.

There are two anti-aircraft artillery regiments, one with 48 German-made 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, and the other is a British regiment of 24 133-mm MAK1RP10 anti-aircraft guns with proximity fuses.

A special artillery regiment, train guns and guard guns, as well as the Paris cannons, are among them.

And then there was the shore artillery regiment.

The 18-inch naval gun they saw at this time belonged to the shore artillery regiment. This cannon was built in the shipyard in Giejiaogou, where there were not many production tasks, and it was impossible to build large ships to go to sea, so it was necessary to use some small-tonnage gunboats, torpedo boats, and crocodile-class landing craft as cargo ships. It took a lot of effort to build the gunboat and move it to Yantai. This made Meng Xiang decide to build a shipyard on the spot and solve it on the spot.

At the same time, Meng Xiang also realized that it was not good to have a large caliber, and the construction of the battleship Nagato made him put his idea on the 406 mm naval guns on the Nagato, which was also a product of World War I, and the surname price was relatively high.

Yantai, Qingdao, Longkou, Penglai and other places all need shore guns to defend, before the shipyards through the sheephorn ditch only built a dozen or so, and now the shipyards have only begun to produce naval guns, but also to transport them to the destination, it is a laborious and laborious thing, hundreds of tons of naval guns are not so easy to move.

"It's hard to transport it to the mountains!" Kong Ci sighed. How do you get such a big guy?

The 380-mm barrel on the Bismarck battleship alone had more than 32 tons, while the total weight of the gun was 111 tons, and the weight of the entire twin turret was about 1064 tons.

The weight of the 457 mm caliber naval guns is even more perverted, and it is especially cumbersome to transport. It needs to be disassembled and then installed. Even then some parts are very heavy, tens of tons. It was a little worse to take the sea route when it arrived, but it was very troublesome to send it to the mountains. Fortunately, the vanguard army began to use construction machinery early, but it was also difficult for these machines to haul these big guys in the mountains, and the construction speed was greatly reduced.

"There's not enough time!" Meng Xiang sighed, with such progress, I am afraid that it will be impossible to establish a defense system for a while. And the latest intelligence shows that the navy has unified its voice and intends to retaliate. Whether it is the Central Army or Soviet Russia, there are not many forces that can be involved in this navy. At this time, it was said that the United States was friendly and could draw a lot of attacking forces to deal with the vanguard army.

The vanguard army blew up and sank several of their ships, even including an aircraft carrier, a flagship of the Huaxia fleet, and at this time occupied Qingdao, giving them several heavy slaps in the face.

From the time Meng Xiang bombed and sank the devil's aircraft carrier, he had already expected that the devil's revenge would definitely be endless.

If the power at sea is not comparable, then use shore artillery to solve it. At this time, the installation progress of shore artillery was slow, and Meng Xiang had to consider using the third plan.

Abandonment of two ports and protection of two. As long as you keep the next two and slowly use naval guns and aircraft, the other two can be quickly recovered. It is impossible for the devil to always put Penglai, and Meng Xiang was first crossed out with a red pen.

The port of Qingdao is very suitable for arranging artillery batteries, cooperating with torpedoes to blockade the port, and with the cooperation of aircraft, the hope of holding is greater.

Because the sub-base is in Zhaoyuan, the advantages of Longkou's construction and defense are better than those of Yantai. Yantai is also too close to Weihai, where the devils are entrenched. It's just that Yantai is also fast and fat, and it has a great influence in China, so it is also suitable for retention.

"Success?" When Meng Xiang was constantly making trade-offs in his heart, suddenly Rat Er reported him a piece of good news: that one was called El. The mechanical automatic bomb feeder copied by the French in Duras succeeded.

Meng Xiang hurriedly opened his brain to check, and sure enough, it was a success, and the column of the French cannon appeared in the red police building that could be built.

"I order, start building the French cannon!" Meng Xiang pointed a little and hit Qingdao's Fort Mountain, where there is a group of fortresses left by the Germans, and the fort built on the hill more than 100 meters high can overlook the entire Qingdao Port and Qingdao City from a high position.

The star value occupied by the French cannon is four stars, but Meng Xiang still did not hesitate to build a French cannon in Qingdao's Xiaozhanshan Fort, Xiaozhanshan North Fort, Central Fort, Taitung Town Fort, and Coastal Fort. The ports of Yantai and Longkou were also built with three or four French cannons, and for this reason, the two barracks in the Zhaoyuan sub-base were also deleted because of the lack of star value.

Although Meng Xiang has not seen the real thing, according to the style of the base, the production of the base must be a high-quality product.

"The vanguard army recovers Jiaodong!"

"Qingdao Yantai victory!"

"Resistance is a patriot!"

In the past few days, various reports on the vanguard army have begun to stir up again. Earlier reports that Meng Xiang was a great warlord disappeared, replaced by a much-praised patriotic general.

"Niang Xipi!" Lao Jiang was also a little helpless, he thought that the vanguard army would come to Zhengzhou to help him hold the army of devils, and his elite troops would be able to transfer manpower to return to Wuhan. However, the vanguard army took advantage of the gap between the devil's forces and directly captured Qingdao and Yantai.

But Lao Jiang was also glad in his heart that the vanguard army intervened this time, and he was afraid that the devils would turn their attention to them.

"Don't give up halfway, attack Zhengzhou with all your might, and open a gap there first!" Shouichi Terauchi ordered.

Zhengzhou has both the elite of the Central Army and the hub of the Pinghan Railway, and in the case that the Jinpu Railway was cut off by the vanguard army and there was no hope for a short time, the important surname of the Pinghan Line to communicate with the north and the south was highlighted. Zhengzhou and the vanguard army are horns of each other, even if the devils occupy this passage between eastern Henan and Luxi, they do not dare to press on the army, once it is cut off, it will not be able to support back and forth.

Compared with the vanguard army, the Central Army, which was more numerous, seemed to be better at fighting. Their planes are at a disadvantage, their artillery is at a disadvantage, their personal weapons are at a disadvantage, and even if there are bloody killers, they will not flinch from their own fanaticism.

In order to prevent the air force of the Pioneer Army from supporting Lao Chiang, Terauchi Shouichi sent planes to the territory of the Pioneer Army every day to harass them, which involved the energy of the Pioneer Army's flying team and made them dare not relax easily. Although the radar station can show it in advance, who can guarantee that the devil's air force will not come to retaliate in a big way?

"Got it!" The surrounding crowd cheered as people salvaged the Ashigara and other shipwrecks in the port of Qingdao in the past few days. Many sunken ships are not places, and they need to be rearranged to form a new blockade line, with mine shore artillery, which is definitely a headache for the devils.

Two days ago, the Izumo had also been salvaged, and it was staying in the newly built shipbuilding center in Longkou.

Ship repairs do not go through repair shops, but directly occupy the production lines of shipbuilding centers.

"Start repairing!" Meng Xiang said calmly. The shipyard can be used to repair not only the ships built in the base, but also ordinary ships. To this end, Meng Xiang also specially experimented with three small gunboats. After confirming that everything was correct, there was a salvage plan for the Izumo and Ashigara.

The Izumo is an old battlecruiser from the former Qing Dynasty, and its surname is much worse than that of the First World War. If it is repaired, it will not be possible to go to the battlefield again. But what Meng Xiang values is the name of the Izumo, which has too many traces of humiliation and rust in China. As the flagship of his own fleet in Huaxia, Meng Xiang just wants to repair it, put it there and change its name as a training ship, and humiliate the devil.
