Seishiro Itagaki rudely pushed away the paramedic who had bandaged his head, and while staggering along his leg wounded by shrapnel, he couldn't help but cry as he looked at the corpses piled up everywhere.

The commander of the 37th Division, Kenyoshi Hirata, knelt on the ground and howled. His cry was not for his left arm, which had been severed by shrapnel from the bomb, but for the corpses of the soldiers of the 37th Division scattered all over the ground. For this farewell, the soldiers of the 37th Division lined up in the most neat square to receive the cheers of the surrounding people and the flashing lights of the media.

Before they could board the ship, bombs rained down from the sky. The flames and smoke obliterated the entire squad of soldiers who had no time to dodge.

Those soldiers fell before they could enter the battlefield, and in a short period of time, most of Hirata's division was lost, how not to make Hirata's Kenyoshi sad.

Ryosuke Isoya let someone bandage the wounds on his body, his eyes constantly scanning around. The sight of the desolation made him feel sad in his heart. Although there are many lives and deaths on the battlefield, I am afraid that this is the first time that I have seen such casualties on the mainland. Even during the war with Soviet Russia, the mainland did not suffer such casualties.

But he was more thinking about the consequences of this incident, the expeditionary force was wiped out by the vanguard army in the port before it set off, this kind of red fruit slap in the face will definitely cause changes at the top, and someone needs to be pushed out to carry the black pot at this time. At the same time, there will be more opportunities in front of you. After this incident, he said that he would definitely take revenge, but it was not a great opportunity to get involved in such a thing.

"If you want to defeat the vanguard army, where is it so easy!" Ryosuke Isoya has realized that the vanguard army is stronger than when he was defending Shandong.

"The vanguard army has never exposed the bottom of the planes bombed this time, but there are nearly 100 of them as soon as they are shot. Such a large bomber, even the Empire has never had one, is there any other killer weapon in the Vanguard Army? Ryosuke Isoya thought of a blizzard used by the Vanguard Army that also killed tens of thousands of soldiers. Then he thought of the kind of airship that the Vanguard Army now appeared in Suiyuan, Huaxia.

"Could it be that Shandong has a secret production base of a copycat company?" Ryosuke Isoya had such a thought in his mind, but he was immediately vetoed by himself, "How can they produce those weapons without steel and materials?" The Empire's intelligence services were also very tightly controlled about the situation of raw materials such as steel, and there was no reason why there was a huge inflow of raw materials without being aware of it. Moreover, it is not as convenient to ship raw materials as finished products. ”

From time to time, silent soldiers carried the wounded by him, and the cries of the people could still be heard in his ears. When they send their relatives to invade others, they should be mentally prepared to be knocked on the door. But none of them thought of this ending of recovering the bodies of their loved ones before they even began.

The large and small collapsed and broken buildings in the harbor are still burning and emitting smoke. Some of them were caused by bombing, and some of them were lit by themselves to obscure the sky with smoke. There were not many people left in the port before, all busy rescuing the wounded, and no one went to put out the fire. It wasn't until the police and firefighters from Nagasaki City arrived that they began to stop the fire, but they still heard the roar of flames sweeping through everything in the north wind.

"This time the loss is too great!" Ryosuke Isoya shook his head slightly.

"This time we have a big result! I just don't know what the specific record is, but it's definitely uncomfortable enough for the little devils. Ha ha! Ronan Xu laughed.

"Just a few more times!" Hu Zongren was a little unfinished.

"It's Huaxia ahead, and we're finally back!" Navigator Chang Ruimin reminded.

Flying all the way to get rid of the pursuit of devils over the Korean Peninsula, we finally arrived at the Shandong Peninsula.

"We're home!" Tong Yanbo couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It was noon, and the forecast weather was indeed a sunny day, suitable for aircraft take-off and landing.

One after another, the expeditionary war eagles roared down from the sky one after another, returning to the airport in Weihai with the sand and dust of the journey.

"That's? Commander Meng? Before the plane stopped, Gu Jun saw that there were many people standing on the airport waiting, and a tall figure in front of the queue was Meng Xiang.

"Commander Meng personally greeted us!"

King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya slowly opened his eyes, and he was already in the hospital in Nagasaki at this time.

"How's the loss?" He asked, enduring the pain all over his body.

The colonel's staff officer next to him, Tosa Goro, had his head bandaged like a big rice dumpling. He was one of the few surviving members of the underground bunker.

"The specific situation is still being counted, and the preliminary statistics of the number of soldiers who died have exceeded 20,000! More than 10,000 others were wounded. Fortunately, some of the troops did not set off at that time," Tosagoro said with a painful frown, "The facilities in the port of Nagasaki were almost destroyed, and sixteen ships in the port were sunk. In addition to the three ships that were completely destroyed, they could also be salvaged and repaired. ”

He looked at King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace, whose pale face was covered with iron, and said, "Sasebo has lost nearly 80,000 tons of oil and nearly 10,000 tons of ammunition. ”

"What about the losses of the Vanguard?" King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace sighed and asked again.

"Shot down two bombers, a two-hull fighter. But the planes all fell into the sea, and one of the bombers directly sank an eight-thousand-ton cargo ship. Tosagoro replied, "Sasebo's side shot down a bomber, and it also crashed directly into an ammunition depot. ”

"That's all!" King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace was annoyed in his heart, and he couldn't help but touch the wound and grinned. He may not have felt the anesthetic just now, but at this time he felt a hot pain in his lower body, and it seemed to be a little different.

He struggled to reach out and touch it, only to find that something was missing from the place where his lower body was wrapped.

"W-what's going on?" He was horrified.

Tosago's scalp was numb, but he still stubbornly persuaded him: "General, your lower body was cut off by the shrapnel of the bomb. ”

At that time, King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya insisted on maintaining the royal prestige and insisted on staying by the entrance of the cave to watch, but when the bomb fell, although the guards next to him covered it, the thing in the lower body was just cut off by shrapnel.

"Why didn't the doctor pick it up? Where is this doctor? King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace said angrily, the superb doctors in Europe and the United States can already suture the severed limbs that have fallen, and as far as he knows, several doctors in his country can also. He already had one leg lame, but he would rather be lame one more than lack a third. Even if it is short and concise, it is a symbol of men.

"That one fell to the ground and was charred." Tosa Goro whispered.

"Get out!" After King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace drank violently, he fainted again.

Meng Xiang was also drunk.

The pilots returned victoriously, and Meng Xiangyi, who had been waiting for a day, met them one by one.

At this time, the battle can be said to be a great victory, and the intelligence officers who are lurking in the book have already obtained the news that they have suffered more than 30,000 casualties. The losses of the Vanguard this time were only four bombers and one P-38. Three of the bombers crashed into the city, and one wounded bomber made a forced landing at sea when it made its way to the vicinity of the East China Sea. was rescued by the submarine that received it.

The minor injuries of the other planes were not worth mentioning, but the 35 soldiers killed and missing in battle made everyone mourn in silence.

But in addition to remembering the living, the merits of the soldiers also need to be rewarded. After they and their families communicated with each other to ensure their safety, Meng Xiang entertained these warriors with a celebratory wine in the local area that night.

realized the dream in the hearts of generations of Chinese people, and Meng Xiang, who was happy in his heart, let go of the amount of alcohol and rested as soon as he got drunk.

The last time he was drunk was in August last year, when he entertained Li Huitang and their Chinese football team. At that time, the Chinese football team lost 2:3 to the third-place Brazil team in the World Cup in France and won the fourth place. But the fourth place was already a breakthrough in history, and Meng Xiang couldn't help but get drunk with excitement at that time.

After being drunk, Meng Xiang was naturally guarded by loyal clone soldiers, and he didn't have to worry about leaking the secret when he was drunk. The burden on his shoulders was suddenly lifted in drunkenness, and Meng Xiang drank extraordinarily without scruples. Although relying on the strengthened body and the stimulation of Xiaohua through the wrist communicator at any time, he still maintained normalcy on the spot and did not make a fool of himself, but after he went back, he was drunk and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

As soon as I got drunk, it was dawn.

"It's bad, there are still a lot of things to deal with, I'm afraid I'm going to accumulate a lot of them." Meng Xiang woke up and sighed as he touched his head. There are many things that need to be understood even if he is not responsible for handling them. But those who are in a high position, first of all, must have more comprehensive and real information than others, so as to make correct judgments. The amount of information on a daily basis, even after being filtered, is still massive. The strategy of seeking the country must not be sloppy.

"It's just a relaxation, but in the future, you must not get drunk and greedy, it's easy to make mistakes!" Meng Xiang secretly warned himself. I have never seen that leader drink and get drunk, and there is still a long way to go, and such a weakness is easy to criticize.

He was not the only one who was drunk that day, as the news spread the next day, the taverns around the country were full, and I don't know how many Chinese people fell to the ground drunk. Even those who don't drink alcohol are drunk.

"Extra, extra! The Pioneer Army bomber formation bombed the island of Kyushu yesterday! ”

"The prestige of the Chinese nation has been greatly enhanced, and the vanguard army has made miraculous achievements. Yesterday, the vanguard army bombed the island of Kyushu, which is the mainland of Japan. ”

"Outside, outside, the vanguard army is attacking the mainland!"

The next day in China, the streets were again full of newsboys of all sizes, and under the reflection of the rising sun, they began to sell the newly issued numbers.

By the time the Vanguard planes went to bomb them, they had already received a little strange news. However, the military operations of the vanguard army have always been very strict, and they are not sure of the information they have received. It was not until after the Vanguard bomber formation returned from landing in the air that the media stationed nearby received the latest news at a press conference held by the Vanguard Army in the evening.

"China's first counterattack on the mainland! It is also the first time since their reform and restructuring that the local area has been attacked by outsiders! Such news can't help but make them a little unbelievable, but the facts are in front of them, and some photos and images are available. Even the silhouette of the Sky Thunder bomber dropping bombs in the air was there, and in ecstasy, they immediately wrote and printed it, and the news appeared on the front pages of the major newspapers the next day.

Newspapers were snapped up by people who flocked to them.

"Is this true? Have we hit the devil's hometown in Huaxia? Someone asked excitedly.

"Of course it's true, you see there's a picture here. This is our Sky Thunder bomber, don't you think this is not dropping bombs in the air? The harbor down there, this is Nagasaki, right? "Everywhere you can see several people gathered together and pointing at the pictures published in the newspaper.

"God has long eyes. The little devil was also punished. Sky Thunder, good name! You should have laid down a few more thunderbolts to kill a few little devils. ”

The news is also getting more and more crooked, and it is also being talked about in the countryside slang.

On that day, Meng Dashuai of the vanguard army raised the order flag, and immediately 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals came from the sky. After receiving the order, they drove the golden cloud and flew to Yuben, that is, the hometown of the little devil, and with a move, countless heavenly thunders immediately fell, blowing up the little devil is crying father and mother. Immediately, a storyteller compiled this into a storyteller.

"Nonsense, huh? Why didn't there be heavenly soldiers and generals to help us before? Someone didn't believe it, "If there are heavenly soldiers and generals, can they watch the little devils kill people and set fire everywhere in our China?" ”

"You know what it is? This is a catastrophe! Every once in a while, a calamity arises and grinds the world. Didn't Tang Sanzang also need to go through eighty-one difficulties? This China is also divided and combined, and has experienced thousands of disasters. Fortunately, the storyteller said a lot about the gods, Journey to the West, the Three Kingdoms, etc., and he used this to block it when he opened his mouth, "But all disasters need someone to lead the people through the disasters." There is only one saint in 500 years. ”

"Oh! No wonder! Those people in the past couldn't recruit heavenly soldiers and generals, because they were not the ones who helped Huaxia cross the catastrophe, and they didn't have this ability, it seems that this Meng Dashuai is the saint! Before he finished speaking, someone next to him suddenly realized.

"Isn't Chairman Chiang also a saint?" Someone questioned.

"Definitely not, if the saint had already beaten him away, would we still need to be bullied by those foreigners?" Someone said angrily.

"Isn't Mencius the sub-sage? So no matter how big Meng Dashuai is, he can't be a saint, right? "Someone directly pulled Meng Xiang into the descendants of Mencius.

"Isn't it better to be better than blue? Even if he is not a saint, he can recruit heavenly thunder and heavenly soldiers and generals, he should be a true dragon and heavenly son, right? Someone dragged a sentence.

"Yes, Meng Dashuai is more like a real dragon than Chairman Jiang!" Someone immediately chimed in.

"Have you seen Meng Dashuai?" Some people questioned that although Meng Xiang made frequent appearances in the military, he rarely appeared in other public places. Meng Xiang is against a cult of personality, and there are not many photos even if they are circulated.

"My brother-in-law's cousin's nephew's third uncle's neighbor's eldest aunt's son has seen it, and he told me it himself!"

Different from the folk idle talk, some of the trends of the upper class have also shifted.

The Vanguard Army's actions this time greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese people. In the past, he was only passively beaten, but now he can fight back. The nature of surnames has been very different. From another aspect, it also reflects the strength of the vanguard army.

"How many bombers did the Vanguard Army drive from Weihai all the way to Kyushu for bombing? Hundreds? Lao Jiang was also a little worried at this time, not only because the reputation of the vanguard army would rise again, but also because of the strength of the vanguard army.

"So, from Shandong, they can easily fly to the sky above Chongqing?" Lao Jiang was a little restless. This is not his feeling alone, and many people share the same idea as him. If a politician neglects to take precautions, then he is not far from death. They will never believe the statement of the vanguard army that they will not take the initiative to fight a civil war, and even if they do, they will not take the initiative to fight a civil war, and they will still fight it passively. This statement of who fired the first shot has always been a trick of a window paper.

Other warlords, big and small, were also worried in their hearts, and for a while, some days ago, they scolded the vanguard army for not obeying orders, and the sound of crossing the border to attack the enemy slowly fell silent. Instead of backing down, they needed to take other steps to deal with the expansion of the vanguard army.

Unlike these high-level politicians and warlords, the vanguard army's achievements in attacking greatly encouraged the country's elites from all walks of life, and people saw a kind of hope for a great power.

The prestige of a great power is not only limited to the domestic market, but also the majesty of a great country when it goes out to show its strength to the outside world. How many years has it been that Huaxia has attacked a foreign country for the first time, and it is a sworn enemy, how is this not exciting and exciting? In addition to the excitement, everyone began to re-examine the rise of the vanguard army. The vanguard army, which has crossed the land of seven provinces, is no longer a simple warlord. His strength can already compete with the Central Chamber.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Huaxia that the choice of fortune is not only a person's life, but also a century-old bet on the rise and fall of a family. The rise of the vanguard army made many unambitious people see hope and rushed to defect. Even for industry and commerce, there are all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes to be paid in the national control area, and from time to time there are also additional fees for the immortals from all walks of life.

As a result, various industrialists and businessmen also planned to set up new factories and enterprises on the territory of the Pioneers. However, before that, it needs to be determined, is the territory of the Vanguard absolutely safe? Although there are many disadvantages in Yucheng and other places, at least they are absolutely safe, and devils can't get in. However, on the territory of the vanguard army, whether it is Shandong or Beijing and Tianjin, it is easy to be attacked by himself. Especially this time, he said that he had suffered a big loss and would inevitably retaliate.

The revenge that began this time was bound to be stormy, and it is difficult to say whether the vanguard army could carry it through. So some people chose to watch from the sidelines and wait for the next development of the situation, but some people rushed to the Seventh War Zone early to contribute to the vanguard army.

It is not only the Chinese who choose to pay attention, but also several major foreign forces are also watching.

The long-range bombardment of the vanguard once again surprised the world.

London.

"We, the British Empire, are in a crisis. The new bombers could fly from Berlin directly to London and drop bombs in the teapot for our afternoon tea. ”

"Don't worry, Your Excellency Prime Minister has brought us peace for twenty years!"

"It's just a piece of waste paper, and you expect a rope of straw to tie up a lion."

"But don't forget that the Bavarian lion is still in a cage enclosed by the nations of the continent. And we're not those stupid monkeys, our secret weapon can detect their planes long in advance. Whether it is the sea or the sky, it will always be the back garden that belongs to the knights of the British Empire. ”

Berlin.

"That young Huaxia general has got a new weapon again, this time a long-range bomber!"

"We already have a more advanced version of the Ju-88 in cooperation with Shanzhai companies, which can fly 2,000 kilometers per hour at an average speed of 500 kilometers per hour with a load of 2 tons, which is enough for us to fly to Paris and London."

"But if it's Moscow, it's going to be a long way."

"Moscow? We need more tanks and artillery! The weather there was terrible, it was too cold high in the sky. ”

Paris.

"The Chinese have long-range bombers? I see, baby, I'm not talking to you. Okay, let's go eat that roast chicken from Zhonghua House in the evening. Well, that's it. You're good to go. ”

"General, what about this information?"

"Let's put it on my desk first, we have the Maginot Line, which can't gnaw at steel teeth, and the planes are helpless in the sky. Rest assured, that little egg under the plane will definitely not break our heads! ”

Moscow.

"Don't worry about the Chinese, the long-distance bomber across Siberia has not yet been born! The north wind would make their wings fall into the mud of the permafrost. Ha ha. ”

"Yes!"

"Still, their airships are quite interesting, and I've heard that I have a headache with them. And they are not afraid of white phosphorus bullets? ”

"Yes, they use helium, not hydrogen! So not afraid of the threat of white phosphorus bullets. ”

"Does that mean it's possible for the airship to go to war again?"

"I'm afraid it's hard. Helium is expensive, and they are far less cost-effective than airplanes. Their speed is also very slow, and although they are not afraid of white phosphorus bullets, the huge explosion destroys the airship. Practical surnames are not strong. said that his plane was not good, so he was suppressed by the airship. But if it were us, our anti-aircraft artillery would have directly beaten them into torches. ”

"In that case, let's focus on the kind of bombers of the Chinese first. Comrade Torbaslov, I will give you a task to do everything possible to get the information on their bombers! I am sure that you will live up to the expectations of the people. ”

"Yes, guaranteed mission."
