Although the losses were not small, Seya Kai was still keenly aware of the weakness of the Central Army, and he was unwilling to rest his team, and the next day he tentatively attacked Lincheng.

His adventure was successful, and he attacked the city.

The offensive momentum of the devil has not decreased, and he went straight to Zaozhuang, and it was also easy to start.

Townenbo's 20th Army Corps let go of the blockade of the Laigu detachment and let them advance all the way, fighting with the same idea as the vanguard army, and preparing to make dumplings against the Laigu detachment.

After the Seya detachment captured Hanzhuang, it was like a bamboo, which made Seya Kei regain his arrogant confidence. Until April 1, he attacked all the way to the vicinity of Taierzhuang.

"To attack or not to attack?" After Taierzhuang, it is Xuzhou. The honor of being the first to occupy Xuzhou beckoned to him, but since being attacked by the vanguard air force, he was a little more cautious.

"Let's take a look for a moment!" Ryosuke Isoya had already given him the order to pause the attack and wait for the other teams, making his choice in his mind more conservative.

The forward defense of the Lai Gu detachment was left with Sun Lianzhong's Second Army. Li Zongren's order to Sun Lianzhong was to stick to Taierzhuang.

As the ragtag army in Xuzhou received the support of the vanguard army, the army's combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger. The south side of the Huai River temporarily blocked the attack of the three dissatisfied divisions of the devils, and the offensive force to the north of the devils was also involved in the vanguard army, which was slightly weak. Lao Jiang saw hope in this, and transferred the troops in his hands early on, preparing to win a battle and boost the people's morale. The worst can block the devil for another three months, and play enough time for the deployment of Wuhan and Kaifeng in the future.

Li Zongren was also unceremonious to the people transferred by Lao Jiang, and directly arranged them in key positions. Although some troops did not listen to the rules, they put the orders there and had to listen to them. It's just that the implementation intensity is a little different, and Wang Mingzhang's delay in sending reinforcements is a clear example.

"Let's all share our opinions!" Another core meeting of the Big Six of the Vanguard Army was held.

"I think we'll have to wait a little longer, wait until the fighting is a little more intense, and then suddenly attack them from behind." Niu Yi's speech represented Meng Xiang's opinion. Whether it is the devil or the Central Army around him, it will not make the vanguard army feel better.

Li Delin has been urging by telegram, asking the vanguard army to send more air support. The last battle of Tengzhou was exciting! Fan Chong lamented that he had only recently studied the air force's ground attack on the enemy. The last time we dealt with Noboru Kunisaki, the propaganda of the Vanguard Army was deliberately low-key, so that others did not pay too much attention to the large-scale air-to-ground attack.

And this time, under the propaganda of the retreating 41st Army and the watchful eyes of everyone, the effect of the attack on Tengxian by the Air Force Wing of the Vanguard Army made everyone's eyes shine. Li Zongren directly asked the air force of the vanguard army to participate in the war, and Lao Chiang even vaguely proposed the intention of supporting the Central Army.

"This time the battle of Tengxian County has leaked to the bottom!" Meng Xiang knew that his plane was attracting attention, so he sent a squadron to the banks of the Huai River early to help stop the devil's air force. It not only alleviated everyone's rhetoric, but also tempered the team through continuous rotation. But in Teng County, another 24 were sent at once.

Although after the loss of some planes of the Central Army in the air battle and the support of some planes of the Central Army, and the trading of twenty or thirty planes, everyone in Pingyue was able to find out the information that there were many planes of the Vanguard Army. But because the vanguard army is still blocking the devils in the north and east, there is no good excuse to mention it. Now that I have seized this excuse, I know that the vanguard army still has the strength to spare, so I naturally want to say it again.

"It's a pity! The economy of the SEZs has just begun to pick up a bit. Zhou Bai sighed beside him, it must be the finances that are tight in a war.

"Yu Kou is a little hesitant!" Pharmacist Tang interjected with a smile. After this ground attack by the vanguard army, the pace of the 10th and 5th divisions suddenly converged a lot. In less than half an hour, most of the artillery and armored tanks of the Seya detachment were gone, can this not make them scruples?

"As soon as the devil hesitates, his plan to reap the benefits of the fisherman will fail." Meng Xiang also felt a pity, looking at Pharmacist Tang's increasingly chubby smiling face, he suddenly had an idea. An sat there and thought about it for a moment, and the more he felt that it was feasible.

"How about we continue to attack east?" Meng Xiang's heart was broken, and he smiled at everyone.

"Qingdao?" Fan Chong frowned slightly.

"The whole Jiaodong!" Meng Xiang waved his hand.

"The navy of the Yue army is too strong!" Fan disagreed.

"Fight, and then withdraw! At this time, Jiaodong had less than one division. It's harvest season! Meng Xiang glanced at Pharmacist Tang, who was still smiling. The search of the devils, a large amount of wealth has been concentrated in Qingdao, Yantai and other places, and the matter of sharing the spoils is being discussed, and it has not yet been shipped out, and it has been opened for the vanguard army at this time.

April 3 at 2 a.m.

The night before dawn was still cold.

A cool breeze blew, and Zhao Sanwan, who was on duty with a gun on his back, did not shiver, and subconsciously shrank his neck.

"What's wrong? Do you feel like this wind is drying? A voice sounded behind him, Zhao Sanwan hurriedly turned his head to look, and the Suomi submachine gun in his hand was habitually opened with the surname of the safe.

"Zhao Er...... No-hello sir! Zhao Sanwan is accustomed to standing upright, and the harsh three-month recruit training has made his body memorize some habits and become instinctive reactions.

"Okay, take a break." Zhao Tiedan, who had been patrolling all the way, raised his hand first and gave a military salute, and the superiors of the vanguard army needed to salute their subordinates first.

"No one else, no need to be so nervous." After seeing Zhao Sanwan return a military salute, he smiled at the corner of his mouth. He also went through three months of recruit training, and the rigid instructors tried to train everyone to be like them through harsh training.

Most of the people have just put down their hoes, and after three months of training, it is good to have a preliminary discipline. But it's still a little short of what the commander said, to integrate discipline into the blood and bones. Zhao Tiedan couldn't help but think of it, but he pinched Zhao Sanwan's shirt in his hand and said:

"What's wrong? Didn't you get a new coat on duty at night? Why aren't you wearing it? ”

"Report sir, I'm not cold."

Zhao Tiedan looked at Zhao Sanwan, who lowered his head slightly, and smiled again: "Are you reluctant to wear it?" Sanwa, the army will issue new ones every year, and the military salary will not be less than yours. When you send the money to your family, you can also settle down in your family for a while. In the future, you have to put on the coat on duty, and you will suffer from the cold, but no one will tell you about your daughter-in-law! ”

Zhao Sanwan looked at Zhao Tiedan's honest smile and couldn't help asking, "Third Brother Zhao, do you think our vanguard army can hit our hometown?" "Although the actions of the vanguard army have not yet been said this time, so many people have been mobilized, and they are near Weixian, there will definitely be a big battle. Maybe it's a counteroffensive? He speculated. Thinking of the possible direction of the vanguard counterattack, he couldn't help but think of his hometown again. Hebei's hometown is still occupied by devils.

"Yes! One day, we will definitely be able to fight back to our hometown! Zhao Tiedan couldn't help clenching his fists and said, he watched the vanguard army grow step by step, and he also sat from a small soldier to the position of company instructor, for the future of the vanguard army, he firmly believed that it would be better.

Zhao Sanwan was also infected by the bright eyes in Zhao Tiedan's eyes, and his heart couldn't help but yearn for it. When the time comes, she will gather three hundred oceans and go to Qiuhua to propose marriage, her mother of that power will not regret it again, right? She guarded what everyone said, when will he, a poor boy, take out 300 yuan of ocean, and when will he be able to lead the autumn flowers through the door. So many people listened, although he was so ashamed that he wanted to get into it in an orderly way, but there were so many people who testified, and she couldn't help but regret it later.

Zhao Sanwan kept thinking in his heart. In the training of recruits, it is not only about physical strength and skills, but also about learning to read and count. Zhao Sanwan quickly learned arithmetic within 10,000, won the appreciation of the student instructors who taught mathematics, and personally named him 30,000, no longer the three babies and three babies.

He has a military salary of 10 yuan a month, and he is in charge of food, clothing, and daily necessities in the army, and he almost does not have to spend a penny, and he saves at least 8 yuan a month. In a year, I will definitely be able to save enough 100 yuan. If you work hard to become a first-class soldier, you can have 20 yuan a month, and you can save 300 yuan in less than two years. If you become a lieutenant like Second Brother Zhao, you can have 130 yuan a month, how nice it would be!

Zhao Tiedan couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Zhao Sanwan's somewhat wandering gaze. It is really difficult for this instructor to do ideological work for the soldiers and care about the lives of the soldiers. It's better to be a platoon commander for that month. This time, thanks to Zhao Sanwan, who is a fellow villager, I roughly understand his thoughts and can talk to him more, if it is someone else, I have never been very good at talking, how should I speak when the time comes?

I don't know why the head of the regiment at that time valued him and asked him to be an instructor? Zhao Tiedan looked at Zhao Sanwan with a slight smirk on his face and couldn't help but scratch his head.

He naturally didn't know about Meng Xiang's distress.

The clones are loyal and strict in enforcing military orders, but they are rigid in communicating with ordinary soldiers. The military police and law enforcement officers composed of the clone soldiers have always been admirable. However, there can be no more than orders in the army, and in this era and even in later generations, the role of political commissars who guide ideology and care about the lives of soldiers is 100,000 powerful. Meng Xiang naturally will not give up this method. But due to the rigidity of the clones, a large part can only be selected from ordinary soldiers. Because the team is relatively chaotic at this time, the selection of instructors is particularly important, and people who have not performed well and passed the test cannot hold this sensitive position, so they are still dissatisfied with the editor.

Ideological education in military academies has not yet been systematic, and the current work is only to care for the lives of soldiers, strengthen patriotic education, and so on. As long as you talk to the soldiers more, their morale will be higher.

"Second brother, you said that big guy is an ironclad car?" Zhao Sanwan pointed to the behemoth parked on the railroad tracks and asked.

"Hmm!" This is not a secret, many people already know it. Zhao Tiedan nodded slightly, his eyes looking at the behemoth was already full of small stars.

"Second brother, that thing is really powerful? Cannonballs can't be broken? Zhao Sanwan was even more curious.

"Huh? Almost! Zhao Tiedan wasn't sure. The armored train has been refitting its weapons and has not yet opened, but the bullet scratches in the experiment still prove that its iron armor is not afraid of bullets.

In the end, he added: "You can't beat it, the little devil can't do anything about our ironclad train!" ”

Since the Russians' heavy armored trains were already somewhat backward, after they were produced, they were being studied and modified in a railway repair workshop in Qidu. The wheels and rails were adjusted, the armor was thickened, and some weapons were replaced, which immediately changed the armored train.

The new armored train had a total of nine carriages. The first section is equipped with a disassembled T-34\76A turret. There was a clearing shovel in front, and considering that the devils did not follow the habit of mines on the railway and the sudden surname of the attack, there was no flat car in front of which to induce mines.

The second and eighth sections are based on the Russians' 360-degree rotating turret, and the original 107 mm gun is replaced with a 105 mm Le.FH18 light howitzer. At the rear is 4 FLAK38 20mm anti-aircraft guns, this anti-aircraft gun is powerful, and the third and seventh carriages are passenger compartments, mainly carrying the infantry and the equipment used by them.

The fourth car is a tank-mounted vehicle. Tanks can be mounted on the top, and tanks can be used for clearing operations. On this trip, they were equipped with fast and agile BT-7 tanks.

The fifth carriage was equipped with two 4-pack FLAK38 20mm anti-aircraft guns, and some railway maintenance equipment such as spare rails were installed. Once the railway breaks down, it can be repaired immediately. The railway from Weixian to Qingzhou has been repaired, and the section from Weixian to Qingdao has been carefully cared for. Under normal circumstances, there is generally no problem.

The sixth section is the power locomotive, which is the core that drives the entire armored train forward, because the original power is still used, which causes the speed of the train to drop a lot, but this still does not affect the power of the armored train.

The last ninth carriage is the same as the first, with a T-34\76A turret.

Two twin M2 Browning large-caliber heavy machine guns were mounted on each carriage, which could be used to kill infantry in the air or in the air.

This modification, in addition to a slight lack of power, can be said to be so strong that it makes people feel cold. Because it is based on the heavily armored trains of the First World War, it has an additional one-third discount, so the price is very cheap, and even if the cost of modified weapons is added, it is cheaper than the armored trains before World War II, and it is more powerful.
