After the devil's train cannon withdrew to a place about 50 kilometers away from the Pioneer Army's cannon, as soon as the cannon fired, the shells of the Pioneer Army's cannon fell again.

Ten minutes later, when they finally fired the second shot, the Vanguard Army's huge artillery shells had already fallen three rounds around them, and the error of each round did not exceed 200 meters around the train gun.

"Why is the deviation so accurate?" Second Lieutenant Staff Officer Hirano Yoda was full of helplessness at this time, the train cannon was such a big target, and the huge cannon couldn't hit, how could it all fall on the head of the devil soldiers who only served as guards who avoided in the distance? More than 100 soldiers had fallen to the ground, and more than half of their bones were gone, leaving Hirano Yoda worried all the time, not knowing where to hide.

"Why don't you hide from the train guns?" Hirano hesitated for a moment, and was about to lean over.

"Boom!" But the fall of the fourth giant cannon shell made Hirano Yoda feel that the world was still normal, and he was secretly glad that he didn't run over timidly just now. The shell landed on the tractor behind the train gun. The entire front of the tractor twisted for a while, and with the explosion, it scattered into countless fragments of large and small pieces. In an instant, the devils who were guarding around fell again.

"Hide near the train cannon and get bombed!" Hirano Yoda looked at the sky appointedly, encountering this kind of giant cannon, it can only rely on luck.

"The supply wagon was loaded with craters, and the ammunition wagon was not damaged." Listening to the report from his subordinates, Umegawa Dihori breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the ammunition car was hit and caused a martyrdom, I was afraid that the people here would be doomed.

"Their range is really more than fifty kilometers. It's not safe here either. He looked up overhead, the devil's reconnaissance plane had been driven back by the Pioneer Army's Thunderbolt fighters, and the artillery reconnaissance balloon had been put away early. Without aerial reconnaissance, they could only rely on the map to attack, anyway, the bullet point at a range of 50 kilometers had long since deviated from it. Such a bombardment of the vanguard's artillery had little effect.

"Evacuate. Changed the bombardment target to the garrison on the Shanhai Pass. ”

He said that he wanted to withdraw, but the railroad tracks behind him were blown up, and the most important thing was that the two tractor noses were blown up.

The rails were blown up, and the sappers who followed them immediately removed the rails in front of them to repair the blown up parts, and the huge crater made a temporary detour. There is no traction power, so I have to use war horses and vehicles to tow, and at critical times, many devils also have to go up to help.

"They're rushing to repair the damaged rails." Feng Ershun reported on the reconnaissance plane of the vanguard army in the sky while dodging the bombardment of ground artillery fire.

Although the personnel of the 12th Division suffered a loss of more than 8,000 people, its powerful artillery team did not suffer much damage. It has the 5th and 6th Wings of Field Heavy Artillery, the 24th Wing of Field Artillery, the 3rd Wing of Yulishan Artillery, and the Shimonoseki Heavy Artillery Wing. The bit of artillery lost in front of Shanhaiguan was nothing to its five artillery wings.

The 1st and 12th Tank Wings in its possession suffered heavy losses, but its 4th Anti-aircraft Gun Wing remained intact. At this time, more than a dozen of the anti-aircraft guns were blocking the reconnaissance planes of the Air Pioneer, and at the same time, some of the planes of the 4th Wing of its flight were also engaged in a struggle with more than a dozen lightning planes of the Pioneer Army.

At this time, there were not many pilots of the vanguard army near Shanhaiguan who could withstand the rain of anti-aircraft guns, and other personnel were temporarily mobilized to Beiping to serve as instructors for new pilots. In order to deal with the threat of devils from the sky in the future, the vanguard army recruited another 3,000 flight cadets in one go. Some of them may become excellent pilots, some may become ground crew, and some will be eliminated outright.

Although these trainees in various places had planes to take turns to work, there was a shortage of flight instructors, and a large number of pilots from various places had to be transferred to serve as instructors.

This time, the devils dispatched only one train cannon, and it was not worth making a big move to summon them back. Therefore, in the face of his own anti-aircraft artillery wing, the pilots who stayed behind only forced the devil's plane and did not attack it in a big way.

Meng Xiang had also instructed that the devil's train cannon would have a giant cannon to deal with it.

Just as the devil plans to use the train cannon to deter, Meng Xiang also wants to use the giant cannon to deter the devil. If the problem of the giant artillery is not solved, it will be like a shadow over the troops of the Kwantung Army attacking Shanhaiguan, making them fearful. It can also buy time for the war zone.

The train cannon cannot retreat, but it can move forward. It temporarily moved more than 300 meters ahead of the curve, avoiding the bombardment of a single shell. Only the devil sappers who rushed to repair the railway were affected, and more than a dozen died.

"Get around! Get around! "The train cannon, which feels that it can't compete with the opponent's firepower, can only remain silent for the time being, as long as there are no definite coordinates in the sky, the giant cannon can't bombard. The planes of the 4th Wing of the Devil Flying continued to expel and attack the reconnaissance planes of the vanguard army, and the reconnaissance planes of Feng Ershun and his companions were damaged and could not be dodged backwards, which also made the giant artillery temporarily lose its guiding target. The radar station shows obvious to the moving target, and the detection effect of this kind of ground fixed target is poor, unless it is the bombardment of the devil's train, and its specific coordinates are analyzed through the artillery radar.

But the devil's train cannon remained silent, and the giant cannon could only rely on the coordinates of the map to bombard the railroad tracks at this time. If the rails are cut, the train guns will not be able to run.

The speed of the devil's sappers is far less than the speed of the destruction of the cannon.

"It doesn't work! Their reconnaissance aircraft will soon find out where we are. Their cannons will come at them like a cannon. Umegawa Dihori said anxiously, he now thoroughly realized the power of the vanguard army's giant cannon. Ultra-long range, high rate of fire in three or four minutes. The train cannons, which could only attack fixedly, could only be beaten passively, and if he had known that the Vanguard Army's giant cannons had a range of more than 50 kilometers, he would not have said anything that close.

The reconnaissance aircraft of the vanguard army cannot be relied on, and all kinds of fighters can also temporarily replace the role of a reconnaissance aircraft, according to the aggregated ground information. The approximate location of the train guns was also determined.

"Boom" When a cannonball blasted through the tracks in front of the parked train cannon, Umegawa Dihori already knew that the vanguard had spotted them.

The train cannon cannot be dragged from the field like a normal cannon, nor can it dodge with a warship like a naval gun, and when the railroad tracks are snapped in front and behind, it has nowhere to hide. It took time for the sappers to repair the railway, and the intensive and frequent firing of the vanguard artillery could not spare more time.

"Since you can't hide, let's be loyal to the country!" Umegawa Dihori shouted loudly with red eyes.

"The target of the attack will be changed to the head of Shanhaiguan City." Umegawa Dihori shouted violently. There is no hope of attacking the giant artillery, and attacking Shanhaiguan can at least cause panic among the people.

"Determine the coordinates of my train gun." The bombardment of the train cannon exposed his position to the scanning of the radar station, and the position of the train cannon was more accurate compared to the information sent back by the aerial reconnaissance.

"It is said that the army train artillery attacked the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan." Meng Xiang quickly got the information.

"What about the casualties?"

"The residents of Guancheng have already evacuated, five houses have been destroyed, and one guard has been injured."

Meng Xiang was a little relieved, and immediately instructed, "The little devil is in a hurry." We don't have to be polite, the two cannons bombarded it together, and directly beat it down. ”

At the beginning, only Hu Yi was making a giant cannon alone, but at this time, seeing that the devil was in a hurry, Meng Xiang asked Rat Er to also start making a giant cannon.

"Boom!" "Boom!" The continuous roar of huge artillery shells dropped one shell in less than two minutes, and before the devil's train artillery bombarded the second shot, the vanguard army had already dropped five rounds.

He didn't have a chance to fire the second shot, and the fifth shell fell on the turret of the train gun. Although there was also a thick layer of protection on the top, it was faced with 280 mm shells.

With a strong explosion, Umegawa Dihori, who was covered in blood, flew upside down. He fainted happily without seeing the barrel of the falling train cannon, and then was directly evaporated by the explosion of the ensuing cannon bomb without pain.

Several subsequent cannon shells fell again, turning over the surrounding ground again, leaving only the broken parts of the train cannon and the mutilated corpses of many devils scattered in several large craters.

"Good thing I wasn't there!" Hirano Yoda said soberly in his heart. At this time, he followed the river side and had already left early. Kawabe Shozo also sensed the insecurity around the train cannon, the kind of passive bombing that can only be resigned to fate, making people vomit blood. He used the excuse that he needed to evacuate the troops who were still 30 kilometers away, and he ducked early.

In fact, I knew that it was not safe at 30 kilometers, and the places where I was stationed were all in underground fortifications or hidden places such as mountains and forests, and it was forbidden for people to gather in piles of people who were active outside, and the logistics materials were far away, which also made the giant artillery not have too many targets worth attacking. The devils built the fortifications to the anticline of the mountain, and also made the giant cannon powerless.

"Let's use the Navy's cannons." Someone in Ben's base camp suggested here.

This time the Army remained silent. The train guns were all blown apart, and the giant cannons had a range of more than 50 kilometers and maintained an amazing rate of accuracy, what else is there to say. They can't do it anymore.

"I heard that the Germans had a range of more than 60 kilometers from their train guns!" Someone chimed in.

"Will they sell it?" Someone scoffed and replied.

Before World War II, it was the era of giant artillery, the role of aircraft had not yet occupied the mainstream of people's thoughts, and the giant cannon was a strategic weapon, and it was common for a giant cannon to block an army or even destroy a city. The development of giant artillery is the overall embodiment of the country's industry and belongs to cutting-edge high technology. It's not that you can shoot shells if you enlarge the caliber. It is not uncommon to study accidents such as explosions of giant cannons every year.

"Where did the Vanguard get its cannons?" No one would believe that it was made by the Chinese themselves.

"Maybe it's still that copycat company!" Now many people know that the Pioneer Army has a close relationship with the copycat company, and it is likely that he is an armed force supported by the copycat company, otherwise it would not be possible to explain where the cost of the Pioneer Army's soldiers comes from. After all, the resources and money consumed by such a huge army are no longer explained by the overseas Chinese donations mentioned by the vanguard army.

"We can also buy weapons from that copycat company, if they're willing to sell them." The person who spoke also knew that according to the relationship between the copycat company and the vanguard army, there were not many opportunities to sell weapons from them.

"Maybe they'll sell it too, what do they need? If we need the resources of China, we will distribute them as well. "Some people think that the copycat company's support for the vanguard army is for all kinds of resources in Huaxia, otherwise where would they send weapons and cultivate agents so much?

Even in China, there are people who are hyping up that the vanguard army is an imperialist comprador regime and wants to betray the interests of China. But they could not say which imperialist comprador the vanguard army was, and they had gone through several major countries, but none of them were exactly like it. Moreover, the actions of the vanguard army did not betray the interests of China.

But after all, every statement will be believed, even rumors. This is also the reason why some scholars and elites are reluctant to go to the side of the vanguard army, because they feel that the rise of the vanguard army is too abnormal, and they are afraid that they will become pawns of others to cultivate puppet regimes.

"You can give it a try. In addition, we can also manage the relationship with the umbrella company. After all, confrontation is not beneficial for either side. Someone agreed, and suggested another umbrella company that has recently risen.

After the Umbrella Company launched the Nagato-class battleships, the business was hot for a while. Everyone knew that they were willing to sell even battleships, so naturally they were strong and came to seek more arms deals. The expansion of the vanguard army has made weapons and ammunition scarce, and it is naturally insufficient to rely on the production of weapons from two bases in the Nanyang region, and it is necessary to build up its own local armed forces. What's more, the world's arms trade is controlled by a few major powers, and it is easy to be counterattacked if they intervene in one hand. Therefore, the transaction of the umbrella company still stays in the ship transaction.

He said that since the last protest was fruitless, although he has repeatedly investigated the umbrella company, he has not been able to get to the bottom of them. During the investigation, they used some disgraceful means to make Meng Xiang lose two spies, and it was for this reason that the umbrella directly claimed revenge, and once again launched his own Bailu-class destroyer, which said that he had just equipped the destroyer leaked, and once again disgusted himself.

For such a two-thousand-ton ship, there are more countries in demand. The cheap price and good surname can make the umbrella receive orders for more than a dozen ships at once. Both the Germans and the Russians bought three ships at once, and the Americans bought one. Some of his secrets were suddenly exposed to the world. Some of the details of the navy can also be seen on some small ships, and this is where some countries are interested.

The Umbrella's retaliation for the launch of the Bailu-class destroyer also made other countries vigilant, and this umbrella company had great powers and unwittingly stole two of his own ships. Moreover, with so many search warships, the strength is strong, and it cannot be easily offended. After that, the tail that followed behind the umbrella was much more constricted.

As for the umbrella, he said that he had verbally protested, and there was no other way. No one can be found, and they don't know who to turn to. I had no choice but to clean up the interior again, and some people with abnormal behaviors were also pulled out, but more than a dozen agents from other countries were caught.

At this time, someone raised it, but it caused a silence among the others. The leaks of the Nagato-class and Shiro-class were like two slaps in the face, and coupled with the defeat in the battle against the vanguard army, the navy is still rectifying.

"We can buy them two Nagato-class battleships for about the same price as we make them, or even cheaper. So that we have more battleships. Someone suggested.

"What about the domestic shipyards? There are still a whole bunch of workers to work on. Someone objected.

"The shipyard is building new ships, all with tasks. What we lack now is time and production capacity. We only need to shell out money and get a new Nagato-class battleship right away. The Nagato-class is still our pride, the armor of the Nagato-class can resist the bombardment of the Vanguard cannons, and his naval guns can completely suppress the Vanguard cannons. To deal with the giant artillery of the vanguard army, now it can only be the Nagato and the Mutsu. Someone retorted.

said that at this time, I could only rely on the thick skin and thick flesh of the Nagato-level to resist the giant cannon of the vanguard army in the past.

"I agree to buy Nagato-class battleships." Someone chimed in.

"But does the Umbrella Company sell it to us?" Someone asked.

"They'll sell! They are businessmen. They also need to have a good relationship with us. Our world's second-largest navy is a huge market. Someone said proudly.

"If they don't sell it, the battleships in the hands of other countries may also be sold, at most at a higher price." Someone hit the idea on the countries that had already bought the Nagato-class. It is very expensive to maintain such a warship, and some countries will sell it when their finances are tight.

"We can also lend, and when our new battleships come out, we will have a new battleship master." Someone talked about the Yamato, which was being built. He had no idea that in the shipyard of the base, the huge bodies of the two Yamato were constantly condensing. After the base account was slightly relaxed, Meng Xiang ordered the construction of another one.

He said that he discussed for a long time, and decided the tone of the navy's attack to destroy the vanguard artillery, and made the decision to establish a good relationship with the umbrella company.

I immediately went to contact the umbrella company and conveyed my willingness to reconcile. The news also quickly reached Meng Xiang's ears.

"What? Said that I was going to buy Nagato-class battleships? And you want to buy two at once? Meng Xiang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
