"Start attacking!" When the time came to 6 a.m. on January 29, the Vanguard gave the order to attack.

Zhang Zizhong's 38th Division and Sun Liren's 18th Division attacked together.

The direction of Zhang Zizhong's 38 attack was Zhang Bei outside the Saiwai. Sun Liren's 18th Division, which was transferred back, attacked Datong.

These two teams are veterans, and they don't need to run in more, so they can attack directly. After a period of recuperation, both teams have returned to their best.

The movement of the vanguard army cannot be concealed from the devils, but the vanguard army has no intention of hiding more, so it relies on strength to push over.

Among the five people analyzed, especially the devils in the north are the weakest, and the Mongolian Corps has only one 26th Division and the 2nd Reading Mixed Brigade. The 3rd Reading Power Mixed Brigade was stationed in Datong. The 2nd Brigade was held in Zhangbei, and they were supported by the 8th Wing of the 32nd Division of the Kwantung Army. But in general it is still the weakest.

Taking advantage of the fact that the reinforcements from the devil's homeland had not yet arrived, Meng Xiang didn't mind eating all the way here first.

At the same time, Pang Bingxun's 39th and 106th Divisions of Shijiazhuang attacked from the Jingcheng area and feinted to contain them.

The 74th Division attacked Jiaozuo directly.

He said that he was guessing the direction of the main attack of the vanguard army. According to the location of Shijiazhuang, although the attack of the two divisions made him feel uneasy, the road from Jingcheng to Yangquan was difficult and should not be breached. On the contrary, it is in the direction of Datong, because after passing Huai'an, there are almost no too many blocks, and you can push all the way through.

"Datong is in danger!" Even if Datong already had the support of the 136th Wing of the 109th Division and the support of the 12th Wing of the 26th Division, the 3rd Reading Mixed Brigade was somewhat unable to stop the onslaught of Sun Liren's 18th Division. The 18th Division was joined by attacking a tank battalion from the training corps brought by train.

Because of the establishment, the tank units of the vanguard army are all very large. A tank is organized into a group, a squad has three tanks, a squadron and a brigade are all three or three, and a battalion has nearly 100 tanks.

Now with the rapid development of the vanguard army engineer corps, the tank has also begun to transition to the T-34\76, which has the highest surname-to-price ratio at this time. Out of the Huai'an boundary, all the way to Datong, there are no too steep mountains, and the role of the tank is played at once.

With thick armor and sharp cannons, how can the devil resist it?

It is not that they are not desperate, but they use Yan Xishan's fortifications to stubbornly resist.

In advance, Meng Xiang had already obtained these defense maps from Yan Xishan, and corrected the coordinates through high-altitude reconnaissance and analysis. Before the attack, a hundred heavy artillery guns were mobilized to bombard together, and all the dozens of large and strong fortresses of the main ones were destroyed. The other small fortifications were knocked out one by one by the tank guns. The rest of the devils couldn't stop the impact of the tank troops with that little jade spirit alone.

Sun Liren took the 1st Brigade of the 18th Division to Lianketian Town and Yanggao County for one day.

At the same time, Li Hong's 3rd Brigade attacked from the Huaxiao Battalion, broke through the defense of the Yue army, and under the rapid assault, it also conquered Yangyuan County in one day.

The two armies directly aimed the spearhead at Datong.

Fu Yucheng's 2nd Brigade set out from Huai'an and crossed the mountains and mountains to attack Xinghe County, which was weakly defended.

"The 18th Division is mainly attacking the city, while your 38th Division is mainly destroying the enemy, and you must destroy all the devils in the Zhangbei area. If there is one more devil who dies, there will be one more sacrifice to the dead people, and there will be one less scourge in the world. Zhang Zizhong's ears still had Meng Xiang's voice echoing.

"Blasting a way out of the way for me, rush over!" He personally came to the front line of the battle, looked at the steep cliffs of Wild Fox Ridge, and ordered in a deep voice.

The 18 203-mm guns accompanying the 38th Division continued to bombard the fortifications built by the devils on the mountain. The fragments of the fortifications rolled down together with the rocks, and in a hurry, how many fortifications could the devils build in the cold winter season? It didn't take long for almost all the fortifications to be bombarded by the artillery of the vanguard.

The troops of the 38th Division took the opportunity to quickly occupy the choke point of Yehuling. As long as there are devils who resist, it will be directly bombarded by artillery.

"There's a devil's machine gun there, knock him out for me." A devil's machine gun point suddenly attracted the attention of He Sanmin, the commander of the 3813 regiment, and immediately ordered.

Immediately three shells from 80 mortars bombarded it, and after only one round, there was no sound over there.

One of the mortars received a signal for support, reversed its muzzle, and fired continuously at the back of a large rock. There were three devils there who were shooting cold shots, and the path was narrow, and two Vanguard soldiers had already fallen to the ground.

After five or six shells in a row, the smoke had not yet cleared, and under the cover of the other two fighters, the sturdy body of one soldier rushed over. Suomi's voice rang out, and after a miserable scream, there was no sound. The two soldiers behind hurriedly followed, until the first soldier who rushed over showed half of his body and beckoned, and He Sanmin, who was paying attention behind, was not relieved.

"It's still convenient. Devils use guns, let's use cannons. Before the devil could take the bayonet, he burped. He Sanmin said with emotion.

This Wild Fox Ridge, when the devils rushed in a few years ago, he participated in the defense here. At that time, you could only fight with a big blade. Their entire battalion had a total of two machine guns. There are only four guns in the regiment, and the grenades in the company platoon are heavy firepower. And now, a squad is equipped with a machine gun, and there are three 45mm mortars in the platoon.

This thing is much more powerful than a grenade, and some of the places where the grenade can't be thrown, a few quick shells, the devil's grenadier has no chance to speak again.

Soldiers of the 38 regiment of the 1 brigade of the 3 division passed quickly. On the other side of the mountain, more than thirty Stuka flying in the sky also began to dive and attack. In many places on the anticline, the artillery could not do anything. They need to move a little bit as they are bulky, and Stuka's attack becomes the main force.

The scream that Stuka emitted was already well known to the devil, and as soon as he heard its distinctive whistling sound overhead, the devil's heart began to feel cold.

It is said that his anti-aircraft firepower has little effect on Stuka, coupled with the lack of anti-aircraft artillery of the devils, although it is constantly being produced, there are not many scattered here, and three or four 20 anti-aircraft guns have little effect on the thick armor of Stuka D. It didn't take long for more than a dozen anti-aircraft artillery pieces to blow up parts all over the place.

The rest was time for Stuka to ravage the Devil's fortifications to his heart's content. The fortifications on the anticline were knocked out by Stuka one by one. The vanguard soldiers who rushed up quickly seized the advantageous terrain.

A devil stretched out his 38 rifle from behind the rock, aimed at a soldier who was holding a strafing shot, and before he could shoot, a crisp Mauser sniper shot was masked by the roar of explosions everywhere, but the bullet pierced straight through his eyebrows. Without waiting to carefully check the results of the battle, Zhang Taochun quickly put away his gun, leaned down and hid behind a rock on the side, and the bullets from the devil's Taisho 11-type machine gun hit the place where he was ambushed just now.

At this moment, there was a roaring sound in the air. An Il-2 rushed down. One of the Taisho-3 anti-aircraft machine guns hidden by the devils immediately opened fire, but the devils didn't seem to know that the Il-2 was immune to 7.62 mm machine guns, not to mention, the 6.5 mm of the Taisho III. And this Il-2M3 attack plane that rushed over, ignoring the sparks on the fuselage, turned the nose slightly, and the two 23mm cannons bombarded together, killing the Taisho 3 first.

Zhang Taochun took the opportunity to shoot and killed a devil who was putting away the machine gun, and at this time, the Il-2 flew back in a circle, and bombed the Taisho 11 into broken parts from a distance.

The vanguard soldiers who were watching the battle immediately rushed over, and in the sound of Suomy's suppression, one soldier rushed to the fortification.

"Yaga!" A wounded devil picked up a Type 38 rifle, got up and stabbed it.

"Da-da-da-da." The muzzle of Suomi's gun jumped slightly, and the devil who had been shot several times in his body fell to the ground like a cloth bag, and he didn't move after a convulsion. The soldier ignored the 38 rifle that fell at his feet, and immediately took the muzzle of the gun and made up a few shots on the fallen devils. This way of dealing with it has become a habit of veterans of the vanguard army, just to prevent some devils from dying with grenades or something.

"Wild Fox Ridge has been captured!" Zhang Zizhong, who was watching the soldiers pass by quickly in the telescope, received He Sanmin's voice from the walkie-talkie next to him.

"Keep going!" After Zhang Zizhong issued the order, he looked at the time, and the entire battle only took more than four hours, and the vanguard army passed through the Yehu Ridge, which was heavily guarded by devils. At the beginning, it was in the lower garden area of Xuanhua, but it was blocked by devils for a long time. After training in mountain operations, the 38th Division's operational cooperation in this environment has become more tacit.

"Now it seems that the devil is more vulnerable, but it turns out that our 29th Army has suffered heavy casualties and can't stop the devil's attack!" Huang Weigang, commander of the 38th Division, sighed.

"It's not that the devil is vulnerable, it's that we've become stronger. One is that the tactics are appropriate, and more importantly, the weapons we have now are far from being comparable to those of the past. Even the advantages of the devil can't be brought into play. Zhang Kexia, chief of staff of the 59th Army, said with a smile, "Look at it, which of the devils is okay?" In the past, devils were not as good as us in fighting bayonets, and now they are even worse. Without us having to carry machetes, these submachine guns and pistols would have knocked the devil to the ground first.

The devil's veterans shot accurately, but we had a machine gun to kill them from a distance, and our snipers were no worse than their marksmanship.

If the devils use grenadiers, our mortars will be more numerous than theirs, and they will hit farther and better than them.

The devil's artillery is really powerful, and the level of our artillery is higher. But their artillery is far worse than ours. Where is their 75 mountain artillery comparable to our 76 field artillery, we still have 105 heavy artillery. There are even heavier artillery pieces of larger calibers, and there are several times more of them, how can they compare with us?

Not to mention that we still have so many planes. In the past, the devils had to catch up with a plane and we had nowhere to hide, but now we let it go. It's all our planes flying in the sky. He said that his plane was blocked in Shanxi and could not fly.

If it weren't for the stubbornness of the little devils, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for more than four hours, and if there was a division of the Central Army on the opposite side, we would have been able to take it in an hour. Zhang Kexia crossed his fingers and analyzed Huang Weigang one by one, and finally mentioned the Central Army unceremoniously.

Huang Weigang didn't care, at this time, the vanguard army looked down on the combat effectiveness of the original Central Army. But he didn't know Zhang Kexia's other identity, even if he knew, it didn't matter, this was not banned in the vanguard army for the time being, and this could not be banned. In this era, all kinds of brands are popular, how can all private actions be banned? Meng Xiang can only strengthen the clone soldier's grasp of the surrounding situation, and only prevent those who secretly form a party and camp to let them have access to the core secrets. Whether it is in the army or in society, all kinds of laws and regulations are tending to be perfected, and if you don't step into it, you won't be held accountable.

With subsistence allowance, clone soldiers, and pensions, Meng Xiang doesn't care about the infiltration of others at all. With the exception of those who seek the truth, the vast majority of soldiers understand what they and their families need most.

At this time, in Huaxia, even Lao Jiang may not have more cash than him. Who else can implement those preferential policies? Who would be willing to shell out so much money for these policies? What seems to be an unrealistic policy, with the support of his abundant funds, has become a reality little by little.

"Keep attacking north! Don't let the little devils run away! Zhang Zizhong shouted.

While the northern and western fronts were fighting, the scattered gunfire on the southern front suddenly intensified. But the defense remains. The 41st and 22nd Divisions each defended their positions and had no intention of attacking.

But the dense front-line clashes made the devils dare not take it lightly, lest the rapid assault of the vanguard army fall on their heads again.

Even the Kwantung Army near Shanhaiguan was on alert. The rapid assault of the vanguard army does not give people much time to be prepared, and if they are not careful, they will be caught off guard. When they did not find out the true intentions of the vanguard army, they did not dare to attack rashly.

"Their target is Shanxi, and if they get it, their depth will expand far inland, and it will no longer be limited to the vulnerable coastal areas." The commander of the First Army, Lieutenant General Tada, said.

"I think it could be Saibei!" Kenji Dohihara said with a solemn expression.
