Chapter 211: It's not time to close the net yet
In fact, there were two railway stations in Jinan at this time. One is the Jinan Station of the Jiaoji Railway built in 04, and the other is the Jinan Station on the Jinpu Railway built in 11 years.
Fu Yucheng and Li Hong attacked the Jinpu Station where the devil set up the headquarters. When Meng Xiang heard that the train station was safe and sound, he was also overjoyed.
Jinan Station in Jinpu is home to the famous German architect Hermann. A typical German-style station building designed by Fischer. It used to be the largest railway station in Asia, the only Gothic complex station in the world, and it was featured in the architecture textbooks of Tsinghua University and Tongji, and in the tourist brochure published by West Germany after World War II, it was recommended that the first stop in the Far East was the most noteworthy.
However, this station, which carried the vicissitudes of modern history, was demolished in 92 because the green roof resembled the hat of the Hitler's army, despite the strong opposition of citizens and scholars.
Herman. Fischer's son once led experts to Jinan every year to overhaul it free of charge, and when he came to Jinan in 92 years, he saw that his father's work was no longer there, so he was very sad and angry and left Jinan, and never came to Jinan again.
At that time, Meng Xiang was still young and didn't know that the butt and the head were sometimes unequal. But he understood now, and he felt a little more embarrassed about the building.
In this battle, because the vanguard army has always occupied most of the urban area of Jinan, many old buildings have been preserved.
With the full start of Jinan City, the development of the entire city needs to be considered as a whole, and various restoration work will also be started.
He wouldn't just use the forts to destroy the overall beauty of these buildings, and the bases could be recovered after the battle. Of course, compared to the half of the cost recovered, the overall planning of the city is more important.
Meng Xiang does everything in his mind, he thinks of it, there are too many things in his mind, and he will forget it when he gets busy, even if he is reminded by others, it is easy to forget many things. For this reason, he immediately sent someone to invite Liang Sicheng, who studied the ancient Chinese architectural culture, and he also brought his wife, Lin Huiyin, who was called the first beauty by later generations.
Thinking about the age between them, Meng Xiang also faded more interest in this beauty like Sister Lin, but Lin Huiyin's erudition and talent made Meng Xiang understand the shallowness of the first beauty under the many flashes in later generations.
"The general is going to use the ancient Chinese architectural style to plan Jinan City in a unified manner?" Liang Sicheng asked with interest.
"It's not just the city of Jinan, it's the entire Special Economic Zone. It is not only the ancient Chinese style, but also some Western buildings with aesthetic value can also be retained, but they need to be different from the surrounding buildings, and the style will not be too different, resulting in special abruptness. What I need is not only the unique Chinese beauty of the ancient building, but also the practicality and safety of the building are the first considerations. Special attention should be paid to the fire prevention surname of ancient Chinese buildings, and the advantages of earthquake resistance can also be retained, and brick and wood buildings and modern concrete structures can be combined. One is the skeleton and the other is the table, complementing each other. You can't just chase retro, and you can't just be the same! "I finally saw an eye-catching beauty, although I didn't have many ideas, but the increase in hormone secretion of the male surname still made Meng Xiang say it in one breath and some thoughts of later generations.
"That's a good plan! I think a lot of people will be interested in this. I'm going to invite them here. However, this plan may take a long time, and there is also the problem of investment, the investment may be very large, at this time, the War of Resistance is the first, I am afraid of ......" Liang Sicheng said excitedly, but he turned to the current situation and couldn't help but hesitate.
"It's about planning ahead so you don't have to get scrambling. You can take a closer look. All localities have their own historical and geographical environments, and they should plan their layouts according to the specific conditions of each locality, take into account the precipitation symbols of history in various places, the influence of the geographical environment, and take into account the layout of future economic development. Many urban functional projects, such as tap water, gas, electric cables, drainage of rain and sewage, and military air defense, should be considered in advance, so as to avoid having to be renovated and rectified in the future. There are also roads, public transportation and greening should be taken into account, and the future development of transportation should be fully considered, and the expansion space of the road should be reserved. The future expansion trend of the city should also be planned in advance, and the increase in urban population needs to be considered in an all-round way, expanding the area outward, expanding the living space to the sky, expanding the public facility space to the underground, and the sunlight and air need to be taken into account......"
When Meng Xiang stopped talking, he found Liang Sicheng and Lin Meinu who were in a daze, and many of the contents described by Meng Xiang have involved the accumulation of experience in the future city over the past hundred years, some of which are not systematically considered by modern people at all, but Meng Xiang's affectionate remarks have brought them a great impact.
"Well, you can take your time. Communicate more with other professionals, and strive for a unified and thoughtful approach to function, practicality, aesthetics, and safety! Don't worry about the funding, the construction time is not a year or two that can be completed in a hurry, we have to leave a perfect answer for future generations! Meng Xiang also knew that some of the things he said were a little too far behind this era, and they needed to be changed slowly and little by little. Construct the framework first, and slowly fill it in.
As soon as Liang Sicheng and his wife were sent away, Rat Er handed over the new news of the Tai'an battle situation.
"Only intercepted the enemy's baggage troops? The little devil ran too fast, and even Huang Huamin only intercepted a tail. It's okay to keep everything that the little devil snatched, and it doesn't hurt to lose. Meng Xiang automatically skipped the matter of eliminating more than 300 devils in the back, and the record of more than 300 people really made him uninterested at this time.
"Tai'an starts, and the position in the south is also revitalized. How was the battle near Taierzhuang? Meng Xiang asked.
The situation in Taierzhuang was very bad, the 10th Division and the 108th Division went to the vicinity of Taierzhuang together, the 16th Division and the 109th Division were also stationed near Jining and could move south at any time, and a wing of the 16th Division that crossed the canal had already occupied Jiaxiang County. On the other side, the 5th Division and the 114th Division had already begun to launch a fierce attack on Linyi. Although they lacked a lot of strength, the total of three wings was much stronger than the 40th regiment of Pang Bingxun's 5th Army Corps. Even if Zhang Liyuan's more than 2,000 militia groups and Shi Yousan interfered with the sneak attack next to him, it was useless, and he could only rely on the advantage of Yishui to resist to the death.
"I asked for reinforcements, and I was sent a pickpocket. It's killing me! Pang Bingxun said angrily. During the Great War in the Central Plains, he collected Lao Jiang's money and waited for Lao Feng to be defeated and dispersed. When they separated, they had the intention of annexing Zhang Zizhong's troops who were in the camp, attacked the camp, and almost killed Zhang Zizhong with a mortar, so the two became inseparable enemies from then on.
"I'm here today for nothing else, just to kill the enemy and fight the devil. Now I want to repay the motherland in case of emergency, you and I have grievances put aside for the time being, and everything is based on state affairs first. Zhang Zizhong, who arrived by urgent march, temporarily put aside his personal hatred under the mediation of Xu Zuyi, and said coldly to Pang Bingxun, who greeted him with a smile.
"Good. With Brother Zhang's words, I, Pang someone, set up a drink today to apologize! Pang Bingxun still has confidence in Zhang Zizhong's reinforcements, although Zhang Papi has an enmity with him, but his strength is very strong, with him, he will not have the end of the whole army.
"No alcohol in the army!" Zhang Zizhong still dismissed Pang Bingxun's overtures with a cold face, years of personal hatred cannot be dissolved at once, when Pang Bingxun attacked the camp, how many brothers he died, it is not a sentence or two that can be reversed. If it weren't for Pang Cripple's stubbornness, he put the headquarters on the front line to resist the enemy, and categorically rejected Xu Zuyi's proposal to withdraw the headquarters, he didn't even want to talk to him.
"I'll go to the front line first!" Zhang Zizhong said and strode out. After the 77 Incident, his attitude of advocating a solution on the spot was mainly and factional, and there was a dissatisfaction with the saying that "the 37th Division fights, and the 38th Division watches", which makes him feel aggrieved. Zhang Zizhong, who planned to use the facts to clear his suspicions, came with the mentality of fighting to the death for the country from the beginning.
But even if the 59th Army attacked, Linyi was still in danger. Whether it is the 59th Army or the 40th Army, they are not even as good as a first-class division of the Vanguard Army. The three main divisions of the vanguard army at this time were all three brigades and nine regiments of more than 30,000 people. Coupled with the backwardness of the equipment, it was indeed a little difficult to face the attack of the three wings at this time. Even with the support of the Vanguard, most of them were from light weapons. There are not many artillery pieces in the north and south, and only three 75 fast guns are left in Linyi.
"Linyi is not easy to keep. The 150th Wing of the 114th Division is rushing towards Linyi, and his 118th Cavalry Brigade is now estimated to have arrived in Linyi. The 5th Division, after the 41st Wing Flag was captured by us, has already gone to this formation, temporarily three Wings. The 42nd Wing was crippled by us again in Yantai. The combat effectiveness of the remaining two wings supplemented with new recruits is obviously much weaker, but with the addition of the two wings of the 114th Division, the pressure on Linyi is still very great, which is no better than the elite of the Central Army near Taierzhuang. If there is a problem, it must be Linyi that has the problem first. I heard that Zhang Pang and the two were not in harmony, so I was afraid that something would go wrong! Fan Chong judged.
Meng Xiang knew a little about Zhang Zizhong's later generations, and knew that in the battle of Linyi, although he lost the city later, Zhang Pang and the others put aside their personal grievances and won the battle in front. But he can't say it to others, and the history has changed greatly, and the four wings of the devil are no longer comparable to the original detachment. Linyi is critical!
"Near Taierzhuang, Li Delin still has the strength to do so, so don't worry. A large number of the Central Army is still around, harmless to Xuzhou, and now is not the time to close the net. Pharmacist Tang saw a hint of hesitation from Meng Xiang on the side and interjected. At this time, he had already identified Meng Xiang, the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the weaker the Central Army, the better.
"The battle situation on the south side of Xuzhou was also unfavorable, the devils attacked with the 13th Division as the main attack, and part of the troops of the 9th and 3rd divisions and the 6th Division also participated in the attack. I'm afraid that within a few days, there will be variables. Fan Chong is also a little helpless about this, but he has already been labeled as a pioneer army, and he is in a high position, so he is afraid that he will have to serve the vanguard army for the rest of his life.
"At this time, the Central Army has gathered more than 700,000 people in the Xuzhou area, and it has the strength to fight with the army, and it will not be defeated in a short time!" Fan Chong continued, "What I'm worried about is that there will be other strategic changes in the Central Army! ”
"This time, the vanguard is too sharp. At this time, the Jinpu line was cut off by the vanguard army, and the important surname of Xuzhou was greatly reduced. If the central government retreats, according to the Kaifeng Zhengzhou area, they are afraid that they will hang the vanguard army in front and fight, and they will reap the benefits of the fishermen. Fan Chong sighed, "This time, we have been pushed to the front desk." ”
"It doesn't matter, there are more opportunities to stand at the front desk! We need more great people! Meng Xiang couldn't help but think of the fact that because the reputation of the vanguard army was not obvious, it was more convenient to recruit people because of the lack of reputation in the vanguard, and it was more convenient to stand at the front desk and have more obvious lights. The vanguard army has exceeded 100,000 at this time, and the vanguard army with sophisticated weapons and equipment is no longer afraid of the small-scale attack of devils, and has the ability to expand outward.
The Central Army and Soviet Russia were still a huge threat to it, and he did not dare to go all out to attack the vanguard army. With an army of less than two or three hundred thousand, Meng Xiang was not afraid at this time. The Jinpu railway is not the only option for the devils, and the threat of the Pinghan line going straight to the hinterland of China is even greater.
The Jiaodong Peninsula will be abandoned at that time, as long as it does not affect the smooth flow of the sea route, he said that he is facing the vanguard army armed to the teeth, and after suffering some more hardships, he may still face the confrontation and siege.
When the time comes, what the vanguard army needs is to attract a large number of talents, develop the foundation of the base areas, and explode another 100,000 soldiers. When the training of the air force and tank troops has been sufficient, they can expand outward.
"The next step is to pay close attention to Linyi. If there is a critical situation, call the 41st Division to help. Tell Ma Yi to send some artillery there, just transfer it from the 41st Division. Air defense gives them a little bit of strengthening. Meng Xiang turned his head to the rat.
After that, he smiled and said to Fan Chong: "This Linyi is destined to be ours!" This time, the devil's iron army was completely eliminated. ”
He looked up at the first military map hanging on the wall, nodded and said, "It's time for our vanguard army to expand its territory." The east side asked them to hurry up and move, and first stabilize the front to the area of the Jiaolai River. Since the 114th Division is heading south, we will accept Zhucheng unceremoniously. And, to the west, we're going to push to the canal in the next step. There's a lot of coal there! ”
