"There are thousands of vanguard soldiers in Beiping City who have fallen from the sky?" Shouichi Terauchi couldn't imagine how so many people could come out.

When Soviet Russia had a paratrooper unit, he had calculated in detail that the money spent on airplanes, silk parachutes, personnel training, and so on was enough to build ten times the elite infantry. He also had a team with an experimental surname, but it never went beyond the level of the battalion. It seems that both the Germans and the Americans were also very small and experimentally caste-like.

"Why does the vanguard army have so many such airborne troops all at once?" Terauchi Shouichi is still entangled in the unexpected attack of the vanguard army.

The paratrooper regiment of the Vanguard Army has now had more than 1,300 specialized paratrooper fighters. More than 400 people from the first battalion were sent to Shanhaiguan, and more than 1,100 people from the special operations battalion of the second battalion, the third battalion, and other personnel, plus some members of the security regiment, were airdropped to Beiping City.

The core part of Project 1 broke out ahead of schedule in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

More than 1,000 people don't look like much in the flat ground, but after opening the parachute from the sky, the sky is full of white umbrella flowers and the eyes are getting bigger and bigger.

After landing, in the street battle in Yanjing City, Suomi submachine gun began to wield. There is no heavy artillery bombardment here, and in short-range engagements, Suomi and the powerful Browning are the soldiers' most trusted companions, and the MK2 grenade is the devil's nightmare. The warplanes in the city of Beiping were whistling, the guns were continuous, and the smoke of gunpowder and the fire ignited by the explosion was constantly blown away by the north wind in the air, just like a giant beast spreading its teeth and claws in mid-air.

The devil army in Peiping only had one wing left. It was the 82nd Wing of the 21st Division, and the wing commander at this time, Tomitaro Otaro, was also shouting anxiously.

The 82nd Wing was also selected by Shouichi Terauchi and a brigade was deployed in the Langfang area. A brigade was still in the barracks in the Fengtai area outside the city, and at this time, a brigade could not take care of itself in the face of the onslaught of the vanguard army shouting and killing everywhere in the city.

"Tell Wang Kemin to tell his men to go out."

"Inform Akato Shoji Nakasa that we need expatriate support organized by the gendarmerie!" Tomitaro kept ordering, and the sound of Suomy's submachine gun was already ringing outside his command post.

Yesterday, as soon as the notice asking the diaspora to organize was issued, today the vanguard army fell from the sky. The list of those expatriates has not yet been organized, let alone trained. However, after hearing the news of the attack of the Pioneer Army, many expatriates still rushed out with weapons and sniped at the Pioneer Army behind various hidden buildings.

Qi Xieyuan, who manages public security, can't care about the chaos in Beiping City at this time. He didn't have many soldiers on hand at this time, and he relied on his die-hard subordinates to gather more than a thousand soldiers, and most of them were scattered by the machine guns of the vanguard army. The news of the vanguard army spread quickly, and the handling of the puppet army in the SAR was also known. At this time, the vanguard army is coming, who is still working hard?

There was also a fierce battle at the gate of the puppet North China Temporary Political Axe, and Wang Kemin and others were blocked inside and never came out. Their die-hard subordinates had been guarding the door with the help of the terrain, and a dozen soldiers of the Reading Brigade were shooting inside with short box cannons, dressed in different costumes.

In this attack, the soldiers of the Reading Brigade and the soldiers of other teams of the Vanguard Army mixed in early, but they did not know what to do. It wasn't until this morning that the order was issued, which surprised them who thought they were just robbing and destroying. Their main task is to destroy the air defense positions, and the rest is to help the vanguard army guide the way with the help of their familiarity with the local geography, and even directly attack those strategic points.

At this time, these dozen or so people were arranged by Wei Hanchao to interfere with the puppet military and political axe. Although the attack is not good, it blocks the people inside and does not dare to come out easily.

"The Chinese people don't fight the Chinese people, the puppet army brothers, the muzzle of the gun has always been outside, aimed at the Kou, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions. Those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded, and those who continue to resist will be severely punished, and everyone who has betrayed the country will be punished. ......" A Junker lady in the sky was full of loudspeakers, constantly playing encouraging words. made the puppet army even more unwilling to face the fierce firepower of the vanguard army.

The scene when the vanguard army appeared just now suppressed every puppet army, and the vanguard army with hundreds of planes faced the empty Beiping City, no matter what the final outcome was, it showed that the vanguard army was definitely not easy to mess with.

"Uprising, we are uprising to fight devils!" There were also people who shouted loudly to rebel before the battle, and rushed directly to the expatriates who ran out from everywhere.

Although it was just past noon at this time, the thick smoke rising everywhere completely obscured the day, and the cries and shouts were mixed in the smoke of gunpowder, just like being in a hell where ghosts cry and howl.

"The surrounding teams of Beiping quickly supported Beiping." Shouichi Terauchi had to order. At this time, the vanguard army bloomed on all sides, but it made Terauchi Shouichi a little headache and his feet hurt by surprise.

However, there were at most two wings of men and horses gathered around Beiping, and most of the troops were concentrated in Tianjin.

At this time, a battle was also breaking out on the outskirts of Tianjin.

The vanguard army attacked all the way north from Cangzhou, and even if the devils destroyed the railway, they still couldn't stop the vanguard army from continuing to advance. When the vanguard army landed in Beiping, the 59th Army had already broken through Qingxian and attacked Jinghai. The 18th Division, which had taken a short break in the rear, rushed up again to take over the attack, and engaged directly with the defensive positions set up by the devils near Jinghai.

"The vanguard army is only more than 200,000 horses, they have to attack and defend at the same time, it seems that everything is going well, but every place may be a gap. The lack of troops is their greatest fatal wound. Terauchi Shouichi constantly judged the intentions of the vanguard army, and at this time, the goal of the vanguard army was directed to Beiping, and the entire offensive plan had been exposed.

"Whether it is blocking the Shanhaiguan Pass or the more than 200 heavy artillery pieces on the southern front, Beijing and Tianjin are their ultimate goal. The vanguard army has limited strength, and can only focus on one for attack and defense. The momentum of the attack on Beijing and Tianjin is so fierce, then their defense must be a bluff! Shouichi Terauchi shouted at Naosaburo Okabe, "They attack, we attack too!" Directly attack the lair of the vanguard! ”

"The 16th Division, the 10th Division and the 116th Division attacked together to attack the southwestern part of Shandong." Shouichi Terauchi gambled everything.

Except for half of the 16th Division's men and horses who stayed behind in Zhengzhou and other Central Plains places, the rest of the men and horses all attacked eastward with the 10th Division.

Terauchi Shouichi did not dare to touch the more than 200 heavy artillery pieces on the southern front, nor did he intend to involve the manpower of the Central China Dispatch Army, but pressed the two and a half divisions of the North China Front Army to attack the Heze area together, in order to open a passage again and threaten the hinterland of the vanguard army. The most important thing is to get a victory here to step down with dignity.

The two brigades defending there were Hu Minghe and Zhang Lingfu, and most of them were veterans of several battles. And to the south were the weakest troops of the Vanguard, most of whom were recruits. It's just that more than 200 overtly heavy artillery pieces frightened the devil's footsteps, and the roar that fell on the devil's position was not fake.

"Don't stop the heavy artillery in the south, it doesn't matter if it's scrapped, don't let the devils advance half a step, and press the devils south of the Longhai line!" Meng Xiang instructed. As soon as the battle between Beijing and Tianjin broke out in the north, it was already clear that the south side was on the defensive, but the defense also had to show momentum, that is, to beat the devils with artillery fire so that they did not dare to take a step forward.

It was not only these heavy artillery that were bombarded, but also about 200 75 mountain guns made by novices, and the gunners of the vanguard army were limited, and the skilled personnel went to make heavy artillery, and these mountain guns were just for those novice artillerymen to come to live ammunition training. I don't ask for accuracy, I just need to make a little more noise.

But such a price is also a sharp consumption of ammunition. As soon as the shells in the tank factory came off the production line, they were immediately pulled and blasted out. To this end, Meng Xiang built four tank factories near his positions on the southern front and reduced the number of barracks.

Four repair shops were also arranged near the front line, and the artillery barrels were scrapped, and they were directly taken for repair, replaced with another one, and continued to bombard.

In this way, you can either return fire with more heavy artillery fire. But where did the devils concentrate so many artillery? Either it was bombardment from the air, but the thunder and lightning of the vanguard army were concentrated in the SAR, there was no sortie, and they were always guarding the vicinity. With the protection of the vanguard aircraft, the dense heavy artillery positions made the devils completely lose their minds.

The heavy artillery moved forward in turns, pressing forward step by step. On the opposite side, the 101st Division and some of the 3rd Division could only retreat step by step. After half a day, the devil's position retreated more than ten kilometers until it retreated to the area of Shuyang and Xiangshui.

And Xuzhou has become a lonely city. At this time, the French artillery was still unhurriedly beating Xuzhou City every ten minutes, and the reconnaissance plane flew over during the day, and there was no longer a figure of a devil. Although the bombardment interval of the giant cannon has been long, the accuracy rate has been high, and after such a long cannon, the new hand has become more proficient.

It seemed like a long interval of ten minutes, but when the devil took the opportunity to run out, the bombardment density of the giant cannon immediately increased. After one or two times, the devil also learned to behave, just squatting in hidden places everywhere and waiting for the shells to fall. Those devils who couldn't stand this kind of mental torture and ran out crazy have all become cannon fodder, but the rest of the devils are also on the verge of mental breakdown. It's been two or three days, so many devils in Xuzhou City have been blocked in the city by a few giant cannons and can't move, and they are passively beaten, and anyone wants to go crazy.

Now the devils in Xuzhou City want to wait until the vanguard army rushes into the city and have a good fight. But the vanguard army attacked everywhere on the southern front, but it didn't attack Xuzhou City.

Many buildings in Xuzhou City have not been bombarded by the giant cannon, at first the devils noticed this situation, and crowded into those buildings, and when the inside was crowded with people, the shells of the giant cannon fell again, and two at a time, and the people and the buildings were blown into ash in the deep pit.

After two or three times, there were no more devils pouring into the buildings that were still standing. Meng has the intention of protecting cultural relics, but he will definitely not cling to every building and cast a mouse at the devil. Breaking one or two vases made the devil lose his support. In the original history, the city of Xuzhou, which had been destroyed by the war, was more visible, and the buildings left behind after the bombardment of Mengxiang's giant artillery at this time were more intact.

By the time the pointer reached three o'clock in the afternoon, the fighting had already entered a white-hot state everywhere.

The vanguard of the Southern Front was consolidating new positions with the help of heavy artillery. After arriving near Shuyang, it has already been out of the direct jurisdiction of the Tancheng sub-base, and with the increase in logistical pressure, it is the most important thing to stabilize the defensive line.

The devils in the north and the 18th Division, which had just taken over the baton of attack, were deadlocked near Jinghai. The devils here are just as crazy. Under the limited force, Terauchi Shouichi adopted the key attack and defense, attacking southwest Lu and defending Jinghai and Tianjin. Sitting in Tianjin in person, he no longer cares about the affairs of Beiping.

At this time, the news of the fall of Luanxian County had already come, and the vanguard army had also appeared around Tangshan and Qinhuangdao, and the news of the danger in Beiping came one after another.

He needed to make a choice, and in the end he chose Tianjin and abandoned Beiping.

"It doesn't matter if the vanguard army captures Beiping, as long as Tianjin is held, the imperial army will rush to Beiping at any time and occupy it again. At that time, the vanguard army that has stretched the front will show more flaws, and when the imperial army will encircle it from Kwantung, Tianjin, Chahar, Central Plains, Shanxi and other places, it will inevitably completely annihilate the vanguard army's army in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The vanguard army that left Shandong would have been easier to deal with. Shouichi Terauchi explained.

Either way, his downfall is a foregone conclusion. The domestic strife will use his ouster as an opportunity to redraw power. Keeping Tianjin may be able to retain more benefits.

The 116th Division and the 10th Division on the Western Front have begun a joint attack, and the 16th Division is also rushing towards that side. Shouichi Terauchi, who gambled on everything, was under pressure, and although most of them were recruits, the offensive of the devils continued to surge like a tide. Those devil recruits kept shouting the slogan of long live, and rushed to the machine gun position of the vanguard army with their youthful impulse and not afraid of death, which made Hu Minghe and Zhang Lingfu on the opposite side immediately feel the pressure.

The most critical on all fronts is Shanhaiguan, even though the number of people in Beiping is not large, but the support of fighters has been continuous. The vanguard army, which had gained air superiority, had at least gained a foothold in the city, and the Nanyuan airfield had also been captured. After clearing the remnants of the enemy, the first big bird had already begun to land.

The pulled out weapon was immediately equipped with a battalion of the Reading Brigade that rushed over to support, blocking the counterattack of the troops near the devil.
