"Zhengzhou has been captured. The commander of the 16th Division, Keisuke Fujie, committed suicide. The tone of Rat Er's statement was always so flat. However, this did not affect Meng Xiang's mood in the slightest.

Towards dusk, Zhengzhou had basically been taken. All that's left is to clean up. As the evening approached, it was not easy to clean up, so we could only first send troops to various important places to block off various neighborhoods and gradually clean up.

At this time, the large army of devils has been defeated, and the tragedy of the battle of Zhengzhou this time was beyond Meng Xiang's expectations. The vanguard army fought so many battles with Yue himself, and this time he fought the most ferociously. It's a completely lethal way of playing. With the help of the night's attack, they also caused a lot of losses to the vanguard army. The souls of more than 5,000 Pioneer warriors are engraved in the city's history.

The little devils did not get a bargain, and the 16th Division never evacuated. With the exception of scattered and scattered resisters in various places, the rest of the army was wiped out. Together with the 10th Wing supported by the 63rd Division, the bodies of more than 20,000 people were left in Zhengzhou.

The transport plane on which they selected to carry the flag of the Wing flew into the air when they were struck down by the lightning of the Vanguard. A squadron flag of the 38th Wing was found in the wreckage, which was still in good condition. After the 38th Wing was sunk by the submarine of the Vanguard Army during transportation, the devil fished out the Wing flag. But today it is again in the hands of the vanguard. This is the second wing flag captured by the Vanguard.

"In the future, we need to strengthen the training for night battles!" The capture of the Wing Banner did not make Meng Xiang much happy, and most of the more than 5,000 people in the vanguard army died in the counterattack of the night devils. Even with the moonlight, the darkness of the night deprived the vanguard of most of its advantage in firepower.

"Another point, when operating, walkie-talkies can be centrally equipped to the platoon level!" The S-38 transceiver, adopted by the Vanguard, was deployed directly to the company. The army has been expanding, and the number of communication tools produced by relying on the radar stations of the base is limited after all, and the lack of productivity has barely reached the company. You must know that it has only been more than a year, and the vanguard army has expanded to 700,000 people. In addition, civilian telephones, telegraphs, and other equipment were added, and at this time, even one level in the military had not yet been popularized.

Meng Xiang also holds the SCR536 handheld radio walkie-talkie and the SCR300 high-frequency FM knapsack walkie-talkie, which were developed by the former Galvin Manufacturing Company of the American Motorola Company for the US Army Signal Corps in the 40s. This kind of thing often seen in film and television works has become the standard equipment of American World War II soldiers. You can report your position and summon air support at any time.

None of this equipment has yet become widespread and is only used in special forces. One is limited to production capacity, and the other is also worried about technical leaks. If such a technology is popularized to the company, it will not be able to guarantee that technical secrets will not be leaked at all. It is said that I have to go a little bit, and their production capacity is limited. If Soviet Russia and the Americans had gotten it in advance, the resulting changes would not have been worse than the role of guns. Technology that is too advanced can be launched half a step earlier, but it doesn't need to be a big step. At this time, there is no need to call for fire support.

However, at this time, with the entry of 39 years, the technological generation gap is not very large. Moreover, the shadow company that Meng Xiang has also established in the United States has begun to produce electronic products. Since there were only the titles of Galvin Manufacturing Company and Motorola Radio at this time, Meng Xiang unceremoniously took the name Motorola as the name of the company, and invited a group of electronic experts to participate in the development of civilian and military electronic products, including Daniel, the pioneer of radio communications. Noble. They can't invite Huaxia to come, but they are often surrounded by more than a dozen Chinese students, learning about technology and management.

Motorola's SCR536 handheld radio walkie-talkie was made in 40 years, so it can be released at this time. Although its communication distance is only 1.6 kilometers, it is still very convenient to use in general battles, and you can directly apply for support.

The rescue signal transmitted through the signal flare cannot explain the problem in time. There is no way for the commander to judge the priorities, after all, every part of the battlefield is a life-and-death emergency. Fortunately, the three thousand tigers carried the radio station, and the news that they occupied the large grain depot also alarmed Meng Xiang. As a result, the machine gun fortress secretly built in the city of Zhengzhou was launched, and two HS-123 attack aircraft were specially dispatched.

Meng Xiang arranged machine gun forts in six key locations in Zhengzhou, which can be regarded as another little devil. However, one is that the star value controlled by the brain is limited, and the other is that the provenance of the machine gun fortress is suspicious. In general, he will not use it, just as an emergency preparedness. It was only the devil who resisted stubbornly in Zhengzhou City, delaying the road of the vanguard army's attack, and he had no choice but to start it.

There are not many people like Hu Sanqian who carry radio stations, and you must know that there is only one company in one company. So Meng Xiang is definitely ripe, it's time to perfect air support and land communications.

The SCR536 and SCR300 can also be appropriately presented, knowing that Motorola can scoop up $250 million from the American political axe in just three years in World War II. How could Meng Xiang let it go?

"Another issue is the issue of attack aircraft." Meng Xiang narrated, and the rat next to him made a record, although every word Meng Xiang said, he could repeat it with his excellent memory, but he still recorded it. This record needs to be sorted out, and as a reservation, Meng Xiang still needs to make some adjustments and considerations on this basis before it is officially issued. Some secrets involve the base, and Tang Mingyue is not qualified to audit, so these records are still held by Rat Er.

"The HS-123 is somewhat outdated, and the attack aircraft has been upgraded." Meng Xiang sighed. In the battle in Zhengzhou, the dispatched HS-123 brigade accompanied the ground attack, 2 aircraft were shot down, and the pilot was killed and 2 were wounded. HS-123's protection was too weak, and damage began to appear after he increased his air defenses. Although there are only two of them, if the air defense of the future is stronger, and even with the help of Zero fighters, the HS-123 will be a little dangerous at that time.

The Germans can afford to be injured, but Meng Xiang, who has not many pilots, can't afford to be injured.

"Let's switch to the IL-10!" Meng Xiang's mind quickly filtered through the well-known attack aircraft in World War II.

The vanguard army was also equipped with Il-2 at this time, equipped with a squadron of 16 aircraft; There was also a squadron of Havoc attack aircraft 16 units. The HS-129 surname can really be a little bad, and besides, my tank can directly bombard the frame without a large-caliber cannon at all. As for the technology of the clawed eagle's jet plane, it was still early to appear, and it was used by Meng Xiang as a killer feature.

As an improved version of Black Death Il 2, the last name can be stronger than Il 2. Although it is not a lot, with the all-metal structure, it is stronger and stronger than the Il-2. After all, the Il-2 aircraft before 42 years ago lacked a rear-seat machine gun and had poor defense. Mengxiang is also the same model after 42 years. So the cost is about the same. In order to be safer, Meng Xiang chose the Il-10.

In World War II, the name of the Black Death of the Il-2 was even louder, and even the Su-6, whose surname was much better than it, was squeezed into obscurity. Its improved Il-10 was later introduced by Huaxia and withstood the test of the Korean War, where it was used until the seventies. The improved Il-10 was also intended to be used to bomb the special train of the Red Great Man, and it was this incident that made Meng Xiang understand it a little.

"It doesn't matter if the price is higher, start saving slowly from now on, otherwise it will be too late when there is something temporary." Meng Xiang finally said.

At this time, the equipment of the vanguard army has generally stabilized, at least it is no problem to use it to fight away the little devils. The foundation of the vanguard army is too weak, and even if the pilot corps is greatly expanded, it is not as profound as the foundation accumulated by other countries for more than ten years. Then quality can only fill the quantitative gap. Issues such as the cost of weapons and equipment are much less important than the cost of pilots.

On the third day, as soon as the sky was bright, the streets of Zhengzhou City, where gunshots rang out all night, were full of gray military uniforms of the vanguard army. At this time, it is also necessary to clear out the scattered remnants of the enemy. It's just a brigade.

After the 57th Army conquered Zhengzhou, it quickly attacked Xinzheng in the south.

At this time, the news of the Battle of Zhengzhou had spread throughout the country. It is known that the vanguard army has conquered Zhengzhou. All kinds of admiration have risen one after another, and according to this development, it is inevitable that the invincible vanguard army will drive Yu back to him, and even some pessimistic people have changed their thinking. This makes the roots of Wang Jingwei's pseudo-political axe even more unstable. Even those who join the pseudo-axe are thinking about the way back.

This day is March 8, the first women's festival promulgated in the war zone. On this day, the women can take a day off.

But representatives of the women's sector launched a campaign in support of the war effort, giving up their vacations and using their work and enthusiasm to inspire the war zone, which had already entered an orange state of readiness.

The battle ahead did not stop because of this false word that was not taken seriously by the world, and the fierce battle all day made Meng Xiang realize that he was a little different from before. He said that he had exhausted the idea of underestimating the enemy, and he had always been desperate with the way he dealt with strong enemies. They can't help but work hard, the 16th Division of Zhengzhou has been filled in, and the only passage in Shanxi to contact the outside world is about to be closed, where there are nearly 100,000 devil soldiers.

If the Central Plains were to be recovered by the vanguard army, even if Wuhan was conquered, it would be threatened from the north and unstable.

The most important thing is that his consecutive defeats made the upper side finally give instructions to fight to the death.

At this time, the brainwashed generation of soldiers rushed towards the metal bullets of the vanguard army with the idea of being loyal to their emperor. But the spiritual victory ** cannot fail to take into account the difference in strength between the two sides. These **s just slow down the speed of the bullet.

The devils of Xinzheng, whose forces were all transferred to Zhengzhou and the Yellow River defense line, were still broken through after desperately resisting for more than two hours, and so far, the 16th Division was completely annihilated. One of the culprits who did many evils in the city of Nanjing was finally punished for his destruction.

The 13th Division was blocked between Kaifeng and Zhengzhou by the 57th Division of the 112th Army, but it couldn't rush through, and when it heard that Zhengzhou had been captured, it immediately withdrew to Kaifeng. It is difficult for them to protect themselves, as soon as Zhengzhou is captured, their position is in the bulge, the east, west and north are the vanguard army, if the vanguard army is outflanked from the south, I am afraid that they will be dumplings.

The devils in Shanxi are dealing with the attack of the 18th Division in the north, and they still need to break through the blockage of the 74th Division in the south. Yan Xishan and Wei Lihuang were also taking advantage of the fire to loot and loot the surrounding cities. In the east, Pang Bingxun's 39th Division was also constantly harassing, directly threatening Taiyuan, Changye and other places from Jingcheng and Handan.

Hu Minghe's 81st Division was transferred to the southern front, starting from Shangqiu, and became the main force to conquer Kaifeng. The 41st Division needed to concentrate on dealing with the enemy on the southern front.

"Withdraw the 13th Division!" Seishiro Itagaki suggested. The situation of the 13th Division can be seen, the 16th Division is gone, and it still has little impact on the vanguard army, and the armored troops of the vanguard army have already arrived near Xuchang. At this time, Xuchang was only defended by the 27th Division that rushed to support. They also need to deal with the robbery of Tang Enbo and others on Funiu Mountain.

There is no need to count on the 14th Division, Li Zongren is so shrewd that he will naturally not let go of this opportunity, and he will continue to attack and contain the 14th Division. As soon as the vanguard attacked, plans and proposals for cooperation were sent. Although they are not expected to destroy the army, they will not lose their strength if they are contained. Maybe there's some benefit to be gained.

"Once the 13th Division is withdrawn, it will be difficult to conquer it in the future!" Tada Jun sighed and said, at this time, the strength of the army is also stretched, after the main force in Central China was transferred to attack Wuhan, these troops in North China were close to the original, and they could not stop the attack of the vanguard army at all. If you don't lose your car and protect your commander, I'm afraid that the 13th Division will also be unsafe.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a staff officer hurriedly deliver an urgent report.

"Jiaozuo is surrounded?" Tada Jun felt a little anxious, and the vanguard army also came out from behind and was blocking the connection with Shanxi.

"The vanguard army is attacking Xinmi and Dengfeng. Their intention is not to occupy territory, but to encircle and annihilate our divisions. Seishiro Itagaki smiled bitterly.

"Where do they have so many people? Can they eat our three divisions in one go? When Sugiyama heard that the 16th Division had been completely wiped out, he still didn't believe it. The 16th Division is no better than those new divisions after the 100th, these permanent divisions are elite troops. But the facts are in front of you. At this time, it was not the time for him to feel distressed and sad, the 10th and 13th Divisions and the 116th Division were in danger.

"The latest intelligence shows that the vanguard army also participated in the Jiaozuo offensive with a mountain division." Kenji Dohihara has been busy with the establishment of Wang's puppet regime these days, and his intelligence on the vanguard army is a little lagging behind. But he knew something about the mountain divisions of the Vanguard Army, these units specialized in mountain warfare, and the original one reading division became three divisions. Although it is not part of the Central Army, it is also the style of the regular army.

They traveled lightly along the hidden mountain road of the Taihang Mountains, and after receiving supplies from the base in the mountains, they directly inserted themselves into the back of Jiaozuo. Jiaozuo's 116th Division made the same mistake, and the defensive side was all facing the Xinxiang side, and the result was also tragic. Although the 74th Division in front did not attack much, the firepower of the 2nd Mountain Division in the rear was very fierce, and it was not something they could resist.

Jiaozuo is also unfortunate to be covered by the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base. Meng Xiang kept this and didn't fight, even if it was for fishing. It's a waste not to take advantage of such a good terrain of pit people. Logistics centers and tank factories have been built in the surrounding mountains. There were a lot of weapons supplied to the 2nd Division of Reading Power in the past to use, which made Deng Shaohu, who had just become the division commander not long ago, very happy.

Deng Shaohu is also an old man in the vanguard army, and when he became a brigade commander, he was withdrawn again because he hugged a small group too much. After grinding for a while, he was used and became the commander of the 2nd Mountain Division, the 1st Division was still the fifth Huwu concurrently, and he also served as the deputy commander-in-chief of the 3 divisions of the Mountain Army. The commander-in-chief is still Wu Xinhua's. It was not too abrupt that this mountain regiment was given the title of the third column of guerrillas.

At this time, the first division was still active in the area of Tianmu Mountain and Huangshan Mountain in the south, and it was under the jurisdiction of the first side of the rat.

The area of activity of the Second Division is in the area of Taihang Mountain.

The 3rd Division is in the process of reorganizing and training recruits.

Deng Shaohu and they trekked through mountains and rivers, and under the guidance of the map scanned by the radar station, and with the help of the local people, they rushed to the designated place with light equipment.

The weapons they got were the ones that Meng Xiang had been preparing for a long time, and they were all better than the weapons they usually used, Garand directly switched to Suomy, and the mountain artillery also became a larger-caliber heavy artillery. All of a sudden, the glow of metal warheads and the smoke of gunpowder flooded the positions of the 116th Division. They had to send out an urgent message asking for help.

Such an urgent report went directly from Tada Jun to Sugiyama Moto.

"Can't hesitate, the 116th Division is in danger!" Reading between the lines, you can see the urgency of the 116th Division at this time.

The 10th Division has also fallen into encirclement, the south and east are the vanguard army, the west Luoyang Wei Lihuang is resisting to the death, only the north and the 116th Division echo each other across the Yellow River.

"According to the latest battle report, the 106th Division of the Vanguard Army has also rushed to the vicinity of Zhengzhou, and they have already moved south to Xinzheng." The staff officer sent new information.

"106th Division?" This number Pang Bingxun received was also the first time he participated in the attack mission after the reorganization, but there were not many young novices in the official army in the vanguard army. Those recruits came out of the new barracks, and they had been on the defensive on all fronts for months, listening to the sound of artillery. Like the 57th Army, the backbone of the 106th Division is also veterans and clones who have gone through the battlefield.

"The 106th Division may seem inconspicuous, but it is also a first-class division." This information from Kenji Dohihara is very timely. The 106th Division is in the hands of Niu San, so he is naturally not afraid of making trouble.

Sugiyama Yuan took a breath of cold air in his heart, the first-class division of the vanguard army was more than 30,000 people. A division is blocked in the south, plus the 57th Division of the 111th Army, so it will be very difficult for the 10th Division and the 116th Division to break through. It's all plains. There are tanks and planes of the vanguard army that are eyeing each other, and they must peel off a layer of skin when they come.

"The 13th Division will abandon Kaifeng and withdraw to the area of Taikang and Fugou." Sugiyama also did not forget the 13th Division that was in crisis, the local rescue troops had not yet arrived, and the main force of Central China had not been withdrawn, so these divisions in Henan could only retreat to protect themselves. The annihilation of the 16th Division, which was on the top of the dead, proved that even an elite division could not be destroyed under the attack of the vanguard army.

"As for the 10th Division, let them go north to support the 116th Division." Sugiyama ordered decisively. Zhengzhou was lost, and it no longer made sense for the 10th Division to guard the surroundings of Gongxian. After the 116th Division was annihilated, it must be next.

"Jiaozuo and Jiyuan are not easy to keep!" Tu Feiyuan reminded. The road from Jiaozuo to Shanxi has been blocked, and the guard cannons and machine gun forts built there have directly sealed the narrow junction where the devils attacked. The intersection of Jiyuan has not been blocked, and there is no cooperation of soldiers, but these fortresses are also dead targets.

"If the defense is unfavorable, then let them retreat into Shanxi!" Sugiyama Yuan also took the opportunity to make a decision, and if he couldn't do it, he simply abandoned the land of Henan and increased the strength of Shanxi.

Although Shanxi's resources cannot be transported out, the supplies inside are sufficient. The arsenal in Taiyuan began to resume production again under the key integration of Yue. For this, they also sent hundreds of technicians. There is no shortage of other resources such as food, and the local people are self-sufficient. Otherwise, Lao Yan would not have shrunk in the nest for so long.

There are many wealthy households in Shanxi. This is not like Henan, which has been war-torn and so poor that it can still produce a lot of oil and water. Before the property there was thoroughly searched, I said that I was reluctant to give it up. With an empty pocket, he said that he was in urgent need of money now, which was also one of the reasons why Sugiyama Yuan refused to give up Shanxi. Besides, Shanxi is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as those passes are sealed, it is difficult to exert troops on narrow mountain roads, which is also an environment that is often used to defeat the strong with the weak and fight more with less.

Besides, Sugiyama Yuan also had to mobilize troops to support Shanxi, and Sun Liren's 18th Division conquered Daixian and threatened Xinzhou. The devils in Shanxi have a hard time dealing with the surrounding armies. With the attack of the vanguard army, the Jin army, the Central Army, and the Red Party's army took the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits. Shanxi's devils also look precarious.

"Shanxi is not a dead land. It seems that there are many armies in the surrounding China, but they belong to various factions, and they are all intriguing with each other, and we are not without a chance to survive. Besides, the vanguard army is a little stronger here, and the other armies are not too threatening. If Shanxi can't hold on, we can still rush out. Sugiyama Yuan thought of the remnants of the 26th Division that had just returned to Taiyuan from Shaanxi, and couldn't help but say with confidence.
