"Such an attack is too simple. There is only one word to describe it, smash! The vanguard army purely used its strength to smash the Japanese to the ground! Looking at the heavy artillery of the vanguard army from a distance, there were big gaps everywhere on the city wall of Jinzhou, Tang Enbo shook his head and sighed, and added, "There is no new strategy!" ”

"The big sword has no edge! The most practical is the best. War is supposed to be based on the final victory! Yang Jie glanced at him and pointed out.

"The Japanese bayonet charge tactics were like hitting an impregnable wall of bullets and shells! And the accurate artillery fire of the Japanese was also suppressed by heavy artillery and aircraft early, and there was no chance to use it at all. Du Yuming smiled bitterly. Recently, the pressure on the Central Army from the Japanese has been greatly reduced, and as members of the second group of observation groups, Du Yuming, Tang Enbo, and others heard that the vanguard army was fighting again, and flew directly to Qinhuangdao to catch up with this battle. However, although everyone saw the vanguard's style of play, it could only be an eye-opener.

Even Tang Enbo was attracted by the vanguard's style of play, but he did not let go.

Lao Jiang had already heard about the vanguard army's efforts to woo the members of the observation group, and at this time, the members of the second group had the meaning of supervising and beating.

"It's just that we can't imitate!" Du Yuming breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Yes! Their style of play is too ammo-intensive. Towne shook his head again.

The crowd was speechless, this is the gap. Either way, this alone is enough to make people sigh.

"Watching the vanguard army rain down bullets, it's really enviable! If only we had these gears! Liao Yaohui sighed bluntly.

"You just have to join the Vanguard Army. They are now called the Wehrmacht, but they advocate not fighting a civil war! Qiu Qingquan rolled his eyelids and said. Unlike Tang Enbo's side, they were surrounded by low-ranking members of the observation group, who got together to discuss and speak with little scruples.

"The vanguard army doesn't seem to be short of copper!" Dai Anlan diverted his words, and some words were still not suitable for joking in front of everyone.

"Most of their metal tickets are made of brass, and they are never short of bullets. It is reported that their bullets have been partially self-produced. Although it is partially self-produced, such quantities will not be small. One million rounds of ammunition cost 14 tons of copper, and their own ammunition is hundreds of millions of rounds a year, if not half of them. In addition, they can also produce some of their own artillery shells, and tens of thousands of tons of copper for ammunition alone are needed in a year. Could it be that they have found the Great Copper Mine? Dai Anlan shook his head slightly.

"I suspect they've found gold. Look at these weapons, either airplanes or artillery, some countries in Europe and the United States cannot compare, let alone the Japanese. They're not your average rich! Liao Yaohui joked that there are really many rumors among the people that the vanguard army has dug up a gold mine. It is also rumored that Meng Xiang made his fortune by finding undersea treasures at the beginning.

"You can't just see that they are well equipped, their soldiers' technical and tactical level is very high, and they can be included in the ranks of elite soldiers." Dai Anlan said, "Their recruit training is at least 300 rounds of ammunition, and many people practice shooting more than 1,000 rounds of bullets. ”

"This 1,000 rounds of ammunition will cost more than 100 yuan. Not to mention that there are other expenses. If you don't have money, you can't train soldiers. Qiu Qingquan shook his head and said, "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no place for heroes!" ”

As soon as the words came out, he felt speechless, and said with a smile: "Another day, I need to exchange some good things from the vanguard army, I heard that they often exchange some second-hand good equipment here." It's much more affordable than the stuff of foreign companies. ”

"The Germans have tank No. 3 for them, and I heard that the old man bought a hundred of them in one go, and he wants to build another mechanic." Liao Yaohui also diverted the topic and aimed at Dai Anlan with an inquiring gaze.

"Tanks are easy to buy, although the vanguard army does not want food, but it can use strategic materials such as tung oil to offset part of the payment, plus Britain and the United States supported part of the funds, but they were bought. But this personnel and oil are difficult to get! Dai Anlan smiled bitterly, he was the one with the best call for the division commander of the new mechanic, and he also participated in the preliminary preparations.

"Didn't the officers hire Americans as instructors? I heard that this time the tank was bought, but the Americans supported it from behind. Liao Yaohui pointed out that the Americans wanted to know some secrets of the German No. 3 tank, and the vanguard army that participated in the development and improvement work also had relevant equipment. Although the copycat companies that were also involved in the improvement work were not allowed to sell to the outside world due to the contract of the Germans, it was still no problem to sell in China. So with part of the subsidy from Britain and the United States, Lao Chiang bought the 100 No. 3 tanks. The Americans also took advantage of the situation to become tank instructors to familiarize themselves with tanks.

In this regard, Pharmacist Tang had already reminded him, but Meng Xiang laughed at it. It is not only Lao Chiang who purchases the No. 3 tank in China, since the German tanks swept across Europe, the eyes of the Chinese people have also been focused on the German tanks. Similarly, the Germans exchanged a batch of machines for the Vanguard's promise not to sell abroad, but did not hinder the purchases of other Chinese powers.

The Gui family bought thirty cars, and even Long Yun bought twenty cars in those places in Yunnan, and Meng Xiang waved his hand and did not make mistakes. As long as there is money to bring it, these equipment will be given in the same way. From time to time, he also preached two sentences about the benefits of motorized and mechanized armies. It's just that Meng Xiang has always been very strict with the control of aircraft, and he does not mention the role of air supremacy.

Some simple truths in later generations are still in the exploration stage at this time. The mechanized units of the various warlords who are still groping their way forward are rarely noticed that the planes in the air will be the greatest enemy of the armored forces on the ground.

"Those tanks are oil tigers, and they can't afford to consume them!" Dai Anlan sighed.

"It's a lot of fuel guzzlers, so I'm running out of gas!" Qiu Qingquan couldn't help but sneer when he heard Dai Anlan's words.

Dai Anlan was speechless, the beauty of such a construction mechanic is indeed something that everyone wants to take a bite of. When the devil was pressing, he was still able to unite, and there were even those who broke the family and the country, but because the vanguard army was in front of him, there was gradually no such worry about the loss of the country, but it made many people sprout, and the wind of corruption blew again.

The money to buy tanks is not much water because of dealing with the vanguard army, but there is a lot to be done with this fuel.

Everyone is also an old oilman in the army, so they naturally know this kind of thing. There are a lot of direct involvement, and it is not clear in one sentence or two.

In the silence of the crowd, a detachment of T-34 tanks of the vanguard army drove past them not far away, raising a cloud of dust. The roar of the engine dragged the black smoke away.

"It's really enviable to see that the tankmen of the Vanguard Army often drive tanks for a 100-kilometer trek for training!" Liao Yaohui sighed, "There is not much fuel allocated to the army, and if it is filtered layer by layer, how many training opportunities can there be?" A large barrel of fuel won't last a single training session. If hundreds of tanks run together, without the need to gnaw on the fuel guzzler, these oil tigers alone can eat up all our fuel. You should put in more fuel to strengthen your training. ”

"No matter how much oil you get, someone will dare to swallow it all. You don't see those cars on the streets of Chongqing, where does their oil come from? Few people bought oil from the right way. Qiu Qingquan snorted coldly. Although the passage between the vanguard army and the national control area has been opened, because of the European war and the reduction of British and American transportation to China, the oil is still a little tight.

"The vanguard army has the Yumen Oilfield, which can be regarded as holding a baby, and I heard that it has produced more than 100,000 tons of oil in half a year. It's a pity that the equipment that went in the center at the beginning. Next to him, Sun Yuanliang leaned over and said with a smile.

"The vanguard army has invested a lot of money in it and transported a lot of American equipment, which is the current scale, otherwise 50,000 tons a year will reach the sky, where can it quadruple?" Qiu Qingquan's mouth was full of gunpowder, and his speech was prickly, originally he was angry when he visited and saw the gap between the Central Army and the Vanguard Army getting bigger and bigger, and when he heard Sun Yuanliang's words, he was very disdainful.

"The vanguard army is still doing practical things, it's better than some people who are corrupt and play tricks behind their backs!" Qiu Qingquan snorted coldly. This time the vanguard army also had wooed him, although he refused again, but some rumors spread. The meaning of the second group of expeditions is also understood by everyone.

Liao Yaohui and Dai Anlan also stopped talking, and continued to look at the offensive of the vanguard army in front.

The guns at the head of Jinzhou City were already weak, but from time to time there were bursts of sound of somi and grenade explosions in the city. The screams of the devils and the screams of dying resistance also faintly reached the ears. Columns of smoke from mortar shells rose from time to time above the city, and were swept away by the fierce winds of the vanguard attack aircraft.

"Let's continue to watch the battle, we won't see any better things here! I heard that the vanguard of the vanguard army hit Panjin. Let's see! Yang Jie shouted at this time, and accompanied by some staff officers of the Pioneer Army around him, he got on several newly equipped multi-functional armored personnel carriers of the Pioneer Army and rushed forward.

Although the multi-functional combat vehicle has only one level, its performance is even more superior, and it has become the equipment of choice for the mechanized division of the vanguard army. However, the German SDKFZ251 armored vehicles were not canceled, and together they constituted infantry assault vehicles for armored units.

"With this thing, can the vanguard attack not be fast? It is no wonder that the vanguard army assaulted Panjin in two or three days, and the Japanese rear line did not have much time to prepare for defense at all. Those improvised positions can be directly crushed over. Liao Yaohui first exclaimed. He studied some theories of armored forces in France, although some theories were outdated, but he did have a vision, and he was influenced by the German blitzkrieg, and he immediately understood the truth.

"With this pursuit, just like the cavalry of ancient times, the opponent has nowhere to escape. It seems that when you encounter this, it is right to defend the city. Dai Anlan sighed,

Qiu Qingquan next to him was a sergeant of the Vanguard Army who was driving an armored car, and said with envy on his face: "I heard that when those officers of the Vanguard Army were fighting, they were also doing this to command on the front line. It would be nice if we could have one too. ”

"This thing is much more expensive than the Volkswagen cars produced by the Pioneer Army, but if you want it, you can just come to the Vanguard Army as a soldier. You don't see, in their mechanized troops, small soldiers sit on this! Liao Yaohui laughed back at him.

"If I really fight the devil and don't have a civil war, I'm really happy to be a pure soldier!" Qiu Qingquan sighed. When I was studying in Germany, I realized that the gap between China and those old powers in Europe is so big. But when I returned to China, I saw pieces of unenterprising. How not to let him sigh. If it weren't for Lao Jiang's kindness to him back then, I'm afraid that he would really want to join the vanguard army.

The multi-purpose armored vehicle they were riding in did not have a canopy, and they saw the troops of the vanguard army hurrying forward all the way. The heavy guns fell behind, but the barrels pointed forward. All the while pointing in the direction in which the vanguard was heading.

At the urging of the members of the Mission, they were very fast. The Japanese have also repaired the roads in this area, and although there are some bumps, the speed has also soared to more than 40 kilometers, and from time to time it has surpassed some military vehicles transporting troops.

The trucks that had been detoxified of the Opel or General Symbols were full of soldiers who had just finished the battle and were resting and hurrying away, there were no devil planes in the air to disturb them, some soldiers were already asleep, and some of the cars were still filled with the cheerful singing of the soldiers from time to time.

"Just as the wildflowers are blooming all over the world, the river is floating with a soft veil, and the sweetheart is standing on the steep bank, singing like a bright spring light,......"

"What song is this? The style feels a little special! Yang Jie listened attentively and heard that the melody of the song containing the joy of victory was very beautiful, and it seemed to have some familiar taste.

"There is no official name for that song, but many people call it 'Little Flower'!" An ensign officer driving the car said as he watched the road in front of him drive smoothly.

"Little Flower?" Yang Jie was a little surprised how he had a name, and he felt a little cheesy. He didn't know that Meng Xiang sang the song "Katyusha" at the beginning, and after it was recorded by Tang Mingyue, he refused to say his name alive or dead, he could only say that he was humming, and later Tang Mingyue added the lyrics, so that there was this song with a somewhat unique style.

"The name is a bit cheesy, but the soldiers like it, and there is a song called "Little Grass" with a very common name, but it is also very good, but it is not suitable for singing at this time!" The second lieutenant had already glanced at the faces of the people behind him from the rearview mirror, and explained with a smile, "According to other people's rumors, these are all spread from our Commander Meng. ”

"I remember that the song defending the Yellow River also came from Meng Ribai." Du Yuming also smiled.

"I remember that I heard that this piece was later edited by Meng Ribai and became a chorus of the Yellow River. At that time, when the literary and artistic circles visited Wuhan, I watched Xian Xinghai's performance there, which was very good! Yang Jie praised.

"We are all sharpshooters, every bullet kills an enemy ......" In an instant, they overtook a military vehicle, but the soldiers in this vehicle were singing another song.

"There are a lot of military songs in the vanguard, and there are seven or eight songs that I have never heard along the way. However, this guerrilla song composed by He Luting was sung in the north and south of the river a few years ago. It's just that it sounds like you've changed the lyrics a little bit? Du Yuming said with a smile.

"It's changed a little, but Professor He Luting has no objection." The second lieutenant of the vanguard laughed. At this time, He Luting was a professor at the Conservatory of Music in Jixia Academy, and he laughed at the matter of changing the lyrics.

"After winning the battle and singing the military song, the morale is even higher!" Yang Jie sighed beside him.

Du Yuming was silent, and their soldiers also sang military songs, but most of them were sad and angry. War cannot bring them victory, it can only bring them humiliation, how can there be such high morale?

Even the engineers and laborers on both sides of the road often shouted neat trumpets, breaking through the fainter and fainter smoke in the sky.

"It's the song of the victors!" Du Yuming listened to the joy contained in the song through his slightly tired voice, and couldn't help but say silently in his heart.

The Mission's convoy galloped all the way to the Shuangtaizi River.

By the time they arrived, the large forces of the vanguard army had already crossed the Shuangtaizi River through the pontoon bridges built on the river and gathered at Panjin. The sound of explosions in Panjin City has already erupted, but more lively shelling has unfolded on both sides of the Liao River. The artillery of the vanguard army, which was the first to arrive, was bombarding the devils across the Liao River, with the support of the planes in the air.

The devil's reinforcements were cut off by the planes of the vanguard army, and as soon as they crossed the Liao River, they were driven back by the armored troops rushed in front of the vanguard army.

"There is no news from the troops who went to support Jinzhou, and it seems that there is a lot of bad luck. The troops guarding outside the city have also been defeated, how can the remaining troops be able to support them? And reinforcements may not come. At this time, Uemura Toshimichi, who was muttering to himself, still served as the division commander of the 29th Division, but because the 14th and 16th Divisions of the 38th and 50th Divisions had been completely annihilated, the newly established 29th Division was a new rebuilt wing. However, the wing, which has only been in existence for more than three months, is also in danger of being destroyed.

The head of Panjin City is also rumbling with cannons. The heavy artillery came slowly, but the four elephant self-propelled guns that followed behind the tank were already firing first. Although the muzzle of the elephant is only 88 mm, when the shell passes through 71 times the length of the barrel, it becomes a typical battering ram. After a few shells, the walls collapsed. As soon as the devil blocked the gap in the broken city wall, he was smashed nearby by the M2 heavy machine gun, and even the fragmented corpses flew out sideways, leaving only the blood sprayed like a pillar to continuously wet the splashed dust, rolling in the ruins into maroon mud.

The difficulty of conquering Panjin City is much worse than that of Jinzhou. When three 150-mm Grizzly assault howitzers from the rear also participated in the siege, the Panjin city wall was already riddled with holes.

"Don't fight a positional defensive war with the vanguard. In the city, the use of all buildings to engage in street battles can effectively reduce the artillery superiority of the vanguard army. Uemura Toshimichi remembered the tactics explained by Umezu Mijiro, and couldn't help but immediately let the devils who had suffered heavy losses at the head of the castle withdraw and enter the various buildings in the castle.

As soon as the members of the Observation Mission had chosen a vantage point for observation, they saw the infantry of the vanguard army pouring in through the gaps in the broken walls.

"It's as simple as that, Panjin City is broken again?" Du Yuming was stunned for a moment, looked up at the sky, under the billowing gunsmoke, the sunset was shining, hanging next to an ancient tree that had lost its branches and leaves in the distance.

The soldiers of the vanguard army who entered the city immediately began to cooperate in small groups and squads.

Due to lack of preparation, the devils did not have many fortifications in the city, and the only thing they could rely on was those houses. Although the houses in the north are not reinforced concrete structures, the thick earthen houses can also shield and slow down the damage of bullets and shrapnel. In such an environment, it was possible to eliminate the power of shells and machine guns, and the close effect of the bayonet began to come to the fore.

Umezu Mijiro has the impression that the ability of the vanguard to fight bayonets has not been very prominent. However, what he didn't know was that the shortcomings that restricted the street fighting of the vanguard army had become a strong point under the skilled street fighting training of the soldiers.

The screams and roars of the devils from time to time came to an abrupt end with the crisp sound of submachine guns.

When the sun sets off its last rays, the light of the flashbang pierces the night sky like lightning hitting the ground, and also illuminates the last moment of the lives of the nearby devils, and the Browning high-powered pistol will send them on their last journey at any time.

In the sky, the searchlight column of the plane pointed down, and the muzzle of the machine gun danced with bewitching orange flames in the night, blocking the streets and forming a huge net to harvest the lives of devils.

"Killed Toshimichi Uemura!" A sound of surprise echoed in the night sky of Panjin City in the middle of the night, accompanied by the heavy artillery bombardment that was still roaring near the Liao River.
