Before 4 p.m., the battle in Qingdao was over, and there was no suspense. The strength of a wing of devils in the urban area of Qingdao is insufficient, and it cannot stop the strong attack of a brigade of the vanguard army. The puppet army didn't have to count on it, those people in the Qingdao Public Security Maintenance Association hid directly when they heard the dense gunfire and couldn't find a shadow.

At this time, only sporadic gunfire was heard from the city.

The commander of the 114th Division, Shigeharu Suematsu, was preparing to commit suicide by disembowelment in the headquarters, but was hit in the head by shrapnel when several grenades were thrown by the soldiers who rushed in. He, the lieutenant general, is the highest-ranking soldier in the vanguard army so far.

Seishiro Itagaki was lucky enough to escape again. When the vanguard army rushed into the city, he was negotiating with several senior generals of the navy in Laoshan, and after hearing the news from the staff officers of the city headquarters, he left directly in an armored car in advance and ran towards Weihai.

Huang Baitao, who assaulted Jiaozhou, regrettably did not move forward, and the newly received order was to defend on the spot, protect the safety along the Jiaoji line, and block the enemy who might come from Zhucheng. He took the part-time 1st Brigade of the 50th Division, and now he is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the devils in Zhucheng. But until dark, the devil did not appear.

"Temporarily return to Weihai!" Deputy Toyoda commanded with a straight face. A simple plan to divert the tiger from the mountain actually made him go out with all his might, resulting in Qingdao being attacked, and the remaining Okishima was also blown and sunk.

Those four submarines can no longer see their shadows, but it is clear that they are related to the Vanguard Army, and may even be the submarine of the Pioneer Army.

Hearing that there were at least 50 planes in the vanguard army, he immediately dismissed his plan to return to Qingdao. It's all in vain to go. The air defense capability of his own Ashigara is not strong, and if he goes, he will only have greater losses.

With the news of the underwater fast submarine, his sins can be absolved somewhat. Although Yamamoto Isoroku hates him, there is also a big guy standing behind him. In this defeat, the army will let the vanguard army easily enter Qingdao, and the responsibility will be heavier. Perhaps, with the threat of the Vanguard aircraft, the strength of the Fourth Fleet will be greater in the future, and he will still be the commander of the Fourth Fleet.

"Bastard, how did you let the vanguard army rush all the way to Qingdao? Didn't anyone notice it? Shouichi Terauchi said angrily, he knew that this time, he was afraid that he would be impeached. Even though Qingdao may fall into the hands of the navy, it is his responsibility to let the vanguard army rush to Qingdao unimpeded.

"They have ironclad trains! All the way along the station, there are people at various stations where they pick up. None of the many staff officers made a sound, all bowed their heads and stood solemnly, and the chief of staff, Okabe Naosaburo, had to explain on the side, "Most of the main forces of the Suematsu Division have moved to the south, and the 23rd Division that the Kwantung Army promised to dispatch has been temporarily canceled because of the abnormal activities of the Soviets and Russians in the north. The number of troops deployed all the way from Weixian to Qingdao was less than three wings. This time, the vanguard army is probably pouring out. ”

He paused, looked at the softened face of Shouichi in the temple and said, "Do you want the 16th Division to attack Jinan?" ”

Shouichi in the temple sat down slowly with the armrest of the chair, and swept the crowd: "Order the 128 Brigade of Zhucheng to immediately command the whole team to go south and attack Linyi directly!" ”

"As for the 16th Division, one wing was left in Jinan, and the rest of the army went directly south to attack Taierzhuang; The 108th and 109th divisions suspended the attack on southwest Lu and also attacked Xuzhou; The First Army was ordered to continue its advance along the Pinghan Railway. Shouichi Terauchi squinted his eyes and looked at Naosaburo Okabe, "Jinan has no taste for food." Qingdao, I hope the vanguard army can stay! ”

"What a pity! Such a good city, but can't stay! Li Tiexia stood in the customs building, looking at the magnificent Western decorations around him, and couldn't help but sigh.

As long as Qingdao is still in the hands of Yue Kou, their navy will continue to fight with the army, and they will not go all out to attack. Only a limited offensive by the army and navy will put less pressure on us. Yang Bo, the accompanying captain and staff officer, said with a smile.

"You kid, the brain is the spirit! Even the devil army and navy dog-eat-dog want to get it. Li Tiexia exclaimed, Yang Bo smiled and said nothing, this brigade commander understood it in his heart.

"In that case, we're welcome! I've dismantled some of this here and shipped it back! Yes, the crystal chandelier was also dismantled for me and packed back! Li Tiexia shouted at the busy soldiers around him again.

In this regard, Meng Xiang has already instructed: "Demolish, move, and transport light, leaving only an empty city for the devil!" ”

"If the people are willing to follow, take them all!" Li Tiexia shouted again, muttering this somewhat troublesome order in his heart, fortunately, the last time the devil landed, there were only 50,000 people left in Qingdao City, and after a period of gathering, the number of people has not increased much.

Yang Bo looked out the window at a group of workers lined up to help dismantle the workers, and sighed in his heart, these skilled workers are the cornerstone of Qingdao's industry, after the vanguard army looted this time, even if the devils occupied Qingdao, the machines were emptied, and there were no skilled workers, such Qingdao, it was necessary to start construction from scratch.

"Whew!" With a whistle, a train full of machinery and goods slowly drove out of the platform in all directions, under the opening of a motorized armored car in front of it. Not far behind it, another train was already full of goods and was about to depart.

"Qingdao is really rich!" At this time, Meng Xiang was also sighing that this time the vanguard army attacked too quickly, and it only took half a day to attack Qingdao from Weifang. Let those devil expatriates and Han Jian have no time to escape, and they will be rounded up together.

Before the Anti-Japanese War, the investment in Qingdao's textile enterprises reached 900 million yuan, second only to Shanghai, and 20,000 overseas Chinese in Qingdao gathered.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, these overseas Chinese were repatriated, but with the landing of the devils, they came back and intensified their search everywhere.

Qingdao has been cleaned up by the devils, and many assets have become his property, and now they have all become the vanguard as soon as they are handed over. Regarding Han Jian's property, Meng Xiang has always been unceremonious. He said that his foreign bank, factory, and bank had all moved away. All the property of the expatriates was deprived and gathered together.

"When they leave, bring them all back to the Special Administrative Region to be reformed through labor to atone for their sins. If the devil has any special actions against the people of Jiaodong, we don't mind killing thousands of them first. There are nearly 20,000 expatriates in your hands, don't worry, kill slowly! Meng Xiang also specially instructed.

"Is the equipment in the port going to be blown up?" Li Tiexia asked directly.

"What are you doing with the explosion? Waste! Everything that can be dismantled is dismantled and shipped back! Meng Xiang unceremoniously instructed that although the vanguard army is not available now, it can also be diverted for other purposes. Even if you can't use it, it's not bad to dismantle it as scrap metal. You don't need to recycle it to the base, you can just hand it over to the steel plant in Qidu.

"Those ships that sank in the harbor, if they can be easily salvaged, try to dismantle the parts on them, and don't leave them to the devils."

"Damn, this vault is so hard to get!" It's been an hour since the three hands were made, and the steel door of the vault of the Zhengjin Bank still hasn't been opened, "The devil manager was also so angry that he threw the key away and committed suicide." Otherwise, I have at least fifteen ways to get him to speak. ”

"Do you need to pry their mouths open? There are capable people in the gendarmerie! One eye thought of those iron faces, and couldn't help but have a cold war.

"Why are you so troublesome? Just blow it up! Tear down this vault door and take it with you! It's a good thing too! "Li Tiexia cares about the treasury. The vault of the North Korean bank has been blasted open by the clones, and the clones have always chosen only the most simple methods to deal with these.

"That's right! Why are we so stupid, this is not stealing, this is hard robbery! Three hands patted their heads and said.

The cloned pig warrior demoman in the special squad directly calculated the blasting point, and with a loud bang, the vault hole opened.

"Ahh What a baby! "The vault full of gold, silver, and jewels has not been moved, and bundles of counterfeit coins that have not yet been issued are neatly stacked there. The fruits of the devil's plundering for several months have not yet had time to be transported away, and all of them have been cheapened by the vanguard army. A team of clones walked in, ignoring the tempting treasure and throwing bricks into boxes together.

"Wait, let me touch it!" The three hands reached out and touched the big gold brick, and then reluctantly put it down.

Holding a large gold brick in one eye, he took a bite, "Real gold!" The goods are full of color! ”

"Good things, let's touch them too!" Li Tiexia stepped forward with a smile, picked up a big gold brick, checked it in his hand, and said with a smile: "In the future, if you pay the army, just give me such a gold brick in January." Hahaha! ”

The clone soldier next to him continued to pack, ignoring it.

"Demolition! These are all dismantled. All metal will be shipped back! Meng Xiang instructed while listening to Qingdao's information.

"We are the glorious demolition people. Isn't the Navy of the little devils planning to construct a Qingdao-centric theory? For the sake of face, how many things do they have to fill in an empty city again? When they're done, we'll plunder it again. No, next time, it's my place. Meng Xiang laughed smugly again.

"Report to the commander that the preliminary statistics of the 37 large and small grain depots found exceeded 300,000 tons." Rat Two reported.

"What? So much? Meng Xiang was also surprised, at this time it was a time when food was in short supply, but he didn't expect the devil to scavenge so much food. The lists of some grain depots indicate that some of this grain is used as military rations, and more than a third of it is intended to be transported back to the capital.

"His grandmother's, the Chinese are hungry, come to feed you parasites!" Meng Xiang scolded, but his heart blossomed. At this time, the food shortage on the ground was alleviated at once.

"Take out 50,000 tons and distribute them to the people everywhere, and all the rest will be shipped back!" Meng Xiang ordered, it's useless to send more to the people, and the devil's next step will only get more and more powerful. As long as they do not starve to death for the time being, it will not be very long for the vanguard to counterattack again.

"As for the coal, how much can it be transported!" Meng Xiang thought of the coal piled up in Qingdao, and could only shake his head helplessly. According to the ground, almost all the means of transportation have been used to pull supplies, but it is still far from enough.

Eight trains were running continuously, drivers from all over the country were mobilized, and more than 3,000 cars of various types were running together on the road from Qingdao to Weifang. The common people were all mobilized, pushing small carts, driving horse-drawn carts and donkey carts to carry little by little. During the period, there were also sneaky interceptions, but at this time, they couldn't take care of these, and it was better to leave them to the people than to leave them to the devils.

"We're going to join the Vanguard!" A group of students stopped Li Tiexia and surrounded him.

"Welcome, welcome! There's a military registration office over there, so you can go there and sign up first! Li Tiexia couldn't be entangled, pointed to the distance, and gave Yang Bo a color.

"I can take you!" Yang Bo said to the students with a smile.

"Which school are you from?" Yang Bo asked a leading student wearing glasses.

"They were from the National Shandong University, and they didn't move west with the school at that time. Some of them set up guerrilla detachments in the Laoshan area, heard about the vanguard army, and rushed over to ask to join the army! Rat Er delivered the news to Meng Xiang in time.

"Good! We don't refuse to come, no matter who they are or what kind of identity they are. Isn't 100,000 soldiers full? Now that we have money again, we can recruit another 100,000! Meng Xiang lit a cigarette, took a puff and laughed.

"I'm not afraid of what role you are, as long as you are a Chinese and really fight devils, we are not afraid." Looking at the larger and larger vanguard army, Meng Xiang was also a little worried in his heart, the expansion was too fast, there were too many foreign forces, and there were already some discordant voices inside.

"It's time to get things in order! But can the devil give us time to recuperate? Meng Xiang thought of the news of the transfer of the devil he received, and he kept guessing the devil's intentions.

"It's really not good, you hit yours, I'll beat mine! It's still feasible to make trouble! Meng Xiang's eyes couldn't help but look at the area of Xuzhou.
