Chapter 85: The cannon fires

The blood on the banks of the Yellow River has not yet dispersed, and under the city of Jinan, Sun Tongxuan's face is red and blue for a while.

These twenty-nine words were thought out by Meng Xiang after being awkward for a long time. But at this time, it made Sun Tongxuan sigh for a long time. In the end, Sun Tongxuan sighed, folded the piece of paper, put it in her personal pocket, and said nothing.

Three hours later, Sun Tongxuan, who had given up the order to burn important buildings in Jinan City, handed over the city defense with Rat San, who was waiting under the city, and then withdrew with his division.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and Meng Xiang specially pointed out a road to him.

The Confucian family in Qufu.

He said that he had long aimed at the house of the sage, and no matter how much the impact of Western civilization was, there was always a group of diehard Confucian culture who revered that ancient family. Once it is said that he has taken the lead and threatens the name of morality, that kind of embarrassment can hit people more than losing a city or a place.

"Vanguard! 41st Division! It's hard to guard the Yellow River! ”

Sun Tongxuan, who had been well defended, sighed in his heart, and looked back at the city gate from time to time, which did not play much role, and the unique banner of the vanguard army was fluttering over the city of Jinan.

It is indeed difficult to defend the Yellow River defense line, and I am afraid that it is even more difficult for the vanguard army at this time.

The long Yellow River defense line was full of holes, and the few thousand men of the vanguard army were scattered on it, and there were not many to be seen.

At this time, the radar technology was not yet able to detect the soldiers, and some places were out of the direct jurisdiction of the base, so it was impossible to detect them in time.

"Telegraph the 41st Division, advance quickly!" Meng Xiang was also so anxious at this time that he was like grabbing his hair.

"Armored patrol vehicles speed up patrol density!"

"The JU52 patrol aircraft increases the patrol range!" In order to make up for the shortage of manpower, Meng Xiang specially sent out the two Junkers old aunts who had just been produced, which was to use its long stay time to expand the scope and time of the inspection.

Referring to Juncker, he couldn't help but think of a patient who was urgently sent from Jiangbei by Juncker's old aunt two days ago.

Xiong Xiling! The name is a little familiar, but I don't understand it. But the intelligence provided by Rat Er shows that this is definitely a big bull, he has been known as a prodigy in Hunan since he was a child, he has served as the country's finance minister, prime minister and other positions, the key is that this person is particularly proficient in finance and economics, and was an indispensable figure around Yuan Shikai. It's just that after opposing Lao Yuan's claim to be emperor and being forced to resign, he saw through the changes in the political arena, withdrew from officialdom, and devoted himself to charity.

In the original history, Xiong Xiling went to Hong Kong to ask for donations in order to set up a refugee center and a hospital for wounded soldiers in Shanghai, but unfortunately died of cerebral hemorrhage.

At this time, he ran for the refugees in Nanjing, fainted while inspecting the Jiangbei refugee camp, and was treated by the already famous medical team. For this reason, when Aunt Juncker was transporting supplementary supplies to the new 41st Division, she brought back Xiong Xiling, who was in urgent need of treatment.

Fortunately, he did not have a cerebral hemorrhage and was diagnosed a few days early. Therefore, after treatment at the base hospital, his condition was stabilized and temporarily out of danger.

"Finance?" Meng Xiang, who came from later generations, naturally knew the important surname of finance. Without a pocket, everything is nonsense. He was tortured by the base, and he deepened the important surname of the money bag.

"Commander!" Huang Tao saw Meng Xiang walk into the ward, and couldn't help but whisper. Ever since he heard Rabbit San talk about how well-equipped the base hospital of the Vanguard Army was, he had always wanted to see it. This time, with Xiong Xiling, he also came to the base hospital. When he first came in, he was startled.

In his imagination, a military hospital is a little better than his private practice. But in front of him, it has expanded to hundreds of acres, and all the base hospitals in the world are the world's top, which completely subverted his cognition.

Is this in Huaxia?

Is this a hospital for the Chinese people?

This is a local military hospital in Huaxia?

The answer to everything was finally determined after he pinched himself twelve times. It's just that the only thing that feels unreal is the young man in front of him, who is said to be the leader of the vanguard army. He was too young, even the many young marshals who were praised had never seen such a young man, and he seemed to be a little immature.

Hearing that the soldiers beside him and the rabbit who rushed back were all in his command, he also shouted the commander with the crowd.

Meng Xiang saw Huang Tao walking over lightly, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Old Xiong, is he in good health?" ”

"It's no big deal, thanks to Dr. Sun's acupuncture!"

"Traditional Chinese medicine also has its own uniqueness, which is accumulated little by little with thousands of years of practice and observation in China, and it also has its own science." Meng Xiang sighed. When Xiong Xiling first arrived, his condition worsened due to the turbulence of the plane. At this time, when Western medicine did not have a good way, Li Ting, who came with him, introduced a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the provincial capital, Sun Heling.

A character who had never heard of in his previous life actually used acupuncture to alleviate Xiong Xiling's illness, and with the cooperation of Western medical treatment, he finally passed the dangerous period.

"Mr. Meng is here!" Xiong Xiling on the hospital bed woke up at some point.

"Old Xiong!" Meng Xiang and Huang Tao hurriedly walked over.

"Mr. Meng has countless people living in Nanjing, such a great kindness, the old man is deeply admired!" Xiong Xiling opened his mouth, but he said the rescue behavior of the Nanjing Pioneer Army.

"Where, where, this is what a Chinese person should do!" Meng Xiang didn't understand the etiquette at this time, and he didn't know the weight of letting Xiong Xiling say this, at least he coped with it politely.

Xiong Xiling also changed his words, and the two became polite.

After a dozen polite words, Meng Xiang felt deeply depressed, and at this moment, Rat Er pushed the door and walked in, raised his hand and made a gesture.

"There is military affairs in the body, and Yu Bai is temporarily out of company!" Meng Xiang saw the gesture that Rat Er had something important, and hurriedly replied with the conversation etiquette imitated in film and television works. In order to better integrate into this era, Meng Xiang, who vowed to use artillery fire to completely make the red sun of Yuben white, also took the word "Bai" for himself.

"Goodbye!"

Meng Xiang, who was half-polite, didn't wait for others to be polite, stood up and left in a hurry, so that Xiong Xiling and Huang Tao, who were left in the ward, couldn't help but stare at each other, and could only think about whether there was a major military incident.

"What's the matter?" Meng Xiang asked as soon as he left the door of the ward.

"The county magistrates of several nearby counties have run away in advance!"

"What? All gone, not a single one left? Meng Xiang was amazed.

"Not a single one left!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh, when is the most well-informed official! He didn't know that in history, Shandong ran with Han Fuyu and ran more than 100 county magistrates, giving up most of Shandong.

Rat Er stood silently beside him.

"Taken it all?" Meng Xiang asked again.

"All the twelve surrounding counties are occupied." Rat II replied.

"Are there enough people? Nothing went wrong, did it? Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the problem of manpower shortage.

"It's business as usual!" Rat Two replied quickly.

Meng Xiang's heart was relieved, and then he asked: "Is the money and goods in the various counties still there?" ”

"The financial cash has been emptied, and all kinds of materials are being counted."

"It's another donation absconding! They should all be shot! Meng Xiang said angrily. I finally have a place to eat finances, and I don't want to take over the bottom warehouse at the beginning.

"Do you want them to intercept it?" Rat Two asked.

"No!" Meng Xiang was busy, there must be a lot involved, now is not the time to sort this out, "How is the Yellow River defense line?" What are the actions of the devils on the other side? ”

"There is no abnormality in the Yellow River defense line! The army on the other side of the strait still has no abnormal behavior! Rat Er opened his mouth, opened the briefcase he was carrying, and took out the photos taken by the BF109 reconnaissance aircraft model on the opposite bank. The above clearly shows some of the situation of the devils on the other side, and on the picture of one of the stations, there is also a plane that has just taken off, which seems to be trying to intercept the reconnaissance plane.

Meng Xiang couldn't help laughing and said, "This, how did you get rid of it?" ”

"That Kawasaki Type 92 fighter is a little slower!" Rat Er was very familiar with the information, and said directly.

"Hehe, Type 92, an old plane. Not even the BF109. At most, it's okay to bully local warlords who don't have many planes. Deal with us, this time you must make them deflated! Meng Xiang smiled when he heard this.

Meng Xiang also wondered why the devils on the other side had not moved for the past two days? Even the brigade that rushed to Jinan stopped advancing, building fortifications on the spot and looking like they were waiting for reinforcements.

In this regard, Meng Xiang also pondered for a long time. Naturally, he did not know that the heavy shelling and tanks of that day had confused the devils on the other side, especially the tanks. On that day, the people on the other side of the river observed at least thirty tanks. When I didn't figure out what was going on behind this, I didn't dare to act rashly.

Meng Xiang is naturally happy to delay for a while, as long as the 41st Division comes tomorrow, all problems can be alleviated.

"How's the construction of the No. 5 tank factory at the base?" This time, Meng Xiang asked Xiaohua.

Since the radar station has been in place, as long as it is within the direct jurisdiction of the base, Xiaohua can be transmitted at any time through a small meter communicator. This greatly expanded the scope of Meng Xiang's activities, but for the sake of safety and base production, Meng Xiang stayed at the base most of the time.

In this regard, when Meng Xiang also asked if there was an invincible mode like the Iron Curtain, Xiaohua just gave a self-aware reply after being promoted to the third level. This gave Meng Xiang infinite reverie, but at this time, he couldn't put on the most primitive steel plate body armor provided by the base and wandered around. That's a shame!

"86.3% complete!" Xiaohua replied in a timely manner.

After taking over the defense of the Yellow River, the most important thing was not only manpower, but also artillery.

Without the support of artillery, it is unimaginable that the Yellow River defense line will be held. The original artillery pieces were directly pulled away by Han Fuyu after firing a hundred cannons on the other side. The few doors that are left occasionally are also some broken old goods. After all, in China, the value of artillery at this time is of great significance to the gun regime.

In this regard, Meng Xiang is not afraid, as long as there is time, artillery production is easy for him. The responsibility of the tank factory is increasing, especially when a tank factory is still producing vehicles. After the upgrade, the main base no longer needs to occupy all the resources of the base center when building base vehicles.

Because of this, Meng Xiang invested another 500,000 yuan to build a chariot factory. Soon, it will be possible to have five tank factories operating together for production, and the speed will naturally not be slow. Although two of them have not yet been upgraded, the production of ordinary artillery does not affect it, and the cannons of the First World War era are already very powerful.

Combined with the live broadcast of the shelling he heard that day, and then thinking of the scene of hundreds of cannons firing at the same time not long after, Meng Xiang couldn't help but boil his blood, and said with a smile: "The cannon is open, boom damn it!" ”

(Novice out of the village, ready to fire!) The second update! )
