Meng Xiang finished his busy Middle East sub-base, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the oil wells are still under construction within the direct jurisdiction of the sub-bases, and three of the 30 will be allocated to supply several power stations, these outputs have solved the financial problems of the base at once.

In the future, there is no need to invest money in the base, and it is enough to spend weapons by virtue of mining and oil mining.

At this time, the base was based on the use of metal military tickets to distribute military salaries and local political axe salaries, but everyone had no opinion, after all, this is a real hard currency. From this, the vanguard army suddenly saved a huge piece of expenses. In particular, copper rounds and copper, which are the main currencies in circulation, cost very little.

During the war, military spending accounted for the lion's share, some of which even exceeded fiscal revenues, and they had to borrow heavily and issue bonds.

The vanguard army does not have to worry about military spending, and the people's livelihood is much easier.

"Future planning can be adjusted appropriately." Meng Xiang looked at the development on the ground and couldn't help touching the beard on his chin.

"Report to the commander, the 10th Division has arrived near Taierzhuang." Rat Two knocked on the door and came in to report.

"Taierzhuang has finally started fighting!" Meng Xiang put aside other things for the time being, and turned his gaze to the vicinity of Taierzhuang.

Because of the Vanguard, history has been distorted.

The 10th Division was afraid of the vanguard attacking from behind, so it moved very slowly, and it did not reach Tengxian until the 21st.

Although it received the weapons assistance of the vanguard army, the 41st Army was still unable to stop the all-out attack of the Laigu detachment of the newly reorganized 10th Division. After the withdrawal of the 45th Army, the 41st and 124nd Divisions of the 124th Army entered the county seat of Tengxian. The former enemy commander defending the city was Wang Mingzhang, the commander of the 122nd Division.

The reinforcements of Tang Enbo's department were blocked by the devils and dispersed, causing Tengzhou to be cut off from the outside world. Wang Mingzhang sent a telegram of "determined to fight to the death to repay the country." This made Meng Xiang's impression of Wang Mingzhang aggravated, and he suddenly thought of what he said in his memory. Anyway, he was a famous general who died before the Battle of Taierzhuang. It seems that it is Tengzhou that he is defending.

Meng Xiang was not very familiar with Wang Mingzhang, and the difference between simplified and traditional Chinese made him not immediately impressed by some lists. So at first, I didn't really care.

According to the information about Wang Mingzhang collected from Rat Er, this person's surname is Ge Gangyi, brave and good at fighting, and he is a famous general.

At this time, the 41st Division of the Vanguard Army was still facing the devils of Pingyi County across the Yi River, more than 100 miles away from Teng County. According to the telegram description of the medical team dispatched, it seems that the situation is unfavorable, and the devils have already invaded the city.

In the calculation of the vanguard army, Tengxian is not the main one, and when Taierzhuang is the central point to attract devils to entangle with the central army, it is a good opportunity for the vanguard army to attack. Seeing that this famous general might be damaged, Meng Xiang felt a pity. Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find. Even if he can't win over his command in the end, he is still a person from Huaxia.

"Attack!" The Laigu detachment mobilized ten armored vehicles and a large number of artillery to continuously attack, and the southern city wall and Dongguan fell into the hands of the devils.

"There are no more reinforcements." Zhao Weibin said to Wang Mingzhang. He had already received a telegram that Town's troops were blocked and could not be rescued.

"Without reinforcements, we have to fight too! The outside is already surrounded by devils, what else can you do but fight to the death? My Wang Mingzhang has been fighting horses all his life, and it is worth dying in the national war. Wang Mingzhang picked up his hat as he said and strode out.

"Bell, where are you going?" Zhao Weibin walked out quickly and asked.

"Crossroads in the center of the city! I'm just standing there and seeing if the little devil can pass me? ”

"Which one is Master Wang Mingzhang?" As he spoke, someone came in from outside. The guard stopped, and the man asked with a smile.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Weibin couldn't help but ask when he saw that the person was also wearing a military uniform and wearing the rank of major.

"I'm Lu Yu, the liaison officer of the Vanguard Army. I came to contact Master Wang about the breakthrough. Lu Yu cooperated and handed over his pistol to the guards with a smile. He had been in Tengzhou for a long time, but not long ago he suddenly received a secret telegram, asking him to contact Wang Mingzhang to discuss the breakout.

He has seen Wang Mingzhang's photo, and he has also seen him from a distance, and the person with the lieutenant general star hanging in front of him is the person he is looking for.

"Vanguard? Breakthrough? Zhao Weibin was surprised. At this time, the devils have already surrounded them, but I am afraid that when the soldiers break through, they will be pursued by the devils and suffer even worse losses.

"It's a breakout!" Lu Yu nodded, "Reinforcements can't arrive." You have delayed the attack here, and your mission has been accomplished. For the sake of the soldiers, in order to continue to fight against the Yue Kou in the future, and wait until the day when the country is recovered, I think Senior Commander Wang needs to think about breaking through now. His gaze was very keen, and he immediately locked on Wang Mingzhang's body.

"I'm Wang Mingzhang, how can I break through?" Wang Mingzhang was also not polite, and asked directly.

"Cooperate with our Air Wing!"

The momentum of the devil's attack was very violent, and the soldiers of the 41st Army consciously contracted, and the devils occupying the south city wall pressed from the southwest corner to the west city wall under the cover of machine gun fire, and the devil's artillery also concentrated fire on the West Gate Tower, West Gate, and Railway Station.

"Yanxi, today, we can celebrate in Tengxian County!" Looking at the on-site offensive in the telescope, Lai Guqi nodded.

Two brigade commanders of the 10th Division committed suicide and one was transferred.

After the transfer of the former brigade commander Eijiro Tahata, the 33rd Brigade was replaced by Major General Kei Yoriya, who had previously served in the 3rd Division. In this southward assault, the Laigu Detachment was formed with the 33rd Brigade as the main group.

Kei Seya, who had never fought against the Pioneer Army, had heard a lot about the Pioneer Army, but he had never thought so.

"The strongest elite of the Central Army has been defeated by us under the city of Nanjing, how strong can they be?"

"Go on the offensive. Order the artillery to come again to the bombardment! ”

"Boom, boom, boom" Before he could finish speaking, he heard a series of roars from the artillery position.

Kei Seya sounded that something was wrong, and when he looked over there, he saw twenty or thirty planes hovering in the sky over the artillery position of the detachment with thick smoke. From time to time, planes swooped and skimmed with a sharp whistling sound to attack.

"This is the Chi Na's plane?" He hesitated and was a little unsure, but the shout of a staff officer next to him gave him an accurate answer.

"It's the vanguard! That's the plane of the Vanguard! The staff officer's frightened face was amused to watch, but none of the people around him wanted to laugh. The smoke from the artillery positions was already a sign that the situation was bad.

"I said earlier, it's better to use this plane!" Huang Chaoyang, who had just destroyed a 20-mm anti-aircraft gun position of the devil, laughed.

He flew the HS-123, which was a biplane, but it was the best strike aircraft at this time. After Meng Xiang inspected its surname Neng experiment, he did not hesitate to produce 36 planes.

Huang Chaoyang looked at the artillery positions below, as well as the three scattered air defense positions, and couldn't help shouting: "There is no good target, let's go fight the infantry." ”

"Get down!" Fujiwara Quercus grabbed his cousin Hase.

"What are you doing?" Haseki broke free from Fujiwara's hand.

"Idiot, that's a plane, that's a Vanguard plane, you know? Are you standing there trying to be a target? Fujiwara, who had fought against the Vanguard several times, was particularly familiar with the logo of the Pioneer Army, and he could see at a glance that those planes belonged to the Pioneer Army.

"And what happened to the planes of the Vanguard? What good plane can the people of China have! You see, they're still biplanes! "Hase, who had just been added to the 10th Division, had a general understanding of airplanes when he went to school, and knew that the development trend of airplanes was towards monoplanes.

"Boom, boom", and threw a cluster bomb under the HS-123 they were flying in. The continuous explosions covered a large area around it, and the unprepared devils fell to the ground one after another.

Nagatani, who had regained his feet, fell to the ground again. Fujiwara shook the dirt off his head and hurriedly crawled over to inspect it, but a piece of shrapnel stuck in Hase's chest had stopped him from breathing. The bubbling blood stained half of his body, and there was still an uncanny dim sparkle in his sky-facing eyes.

Meng Xiang has been fond of this kind of bomb that is super cool against infantry since the last time he used cluster bombs against Kunizaki Deng, and now most of the HS-123 is carrying this kind of butterfly bomb.

Another HS-123 dropped a cluster bomb on a place where there were many devils. The larger the number of people, the better the effect of cluster bombs, and hiding in simple bunkers cannot stop the bombardment of cluster bombs that can deal with armored forces.

Three of the ten armored tanks of the Laigu detachment had been blown up by the 41st Army, and five of the seven tanks that had been flaunting their might just now had been blown up by two cluster bombs.

"Don't use bombs, use machine guns, let's compete between the two to see who can kill the devil's Douding tank first." Dong Changhe said to Xu Zhiman.

"You're going to lose!" Xu Zhiman said with a smile that when he was in Europe, he always used a biplane, and he was even more handy after training with the HS-123 at this time. In the air battle on the Yellow River, his confrontation with the devil made his grasp of this speed more keen.

The two HS-123s opened the throttle to the maximum at the same time, swept towards the devil's position at a low altitude, and the sharp whistle broke people's hearts.

Quickly locked on a tank that was fleeing in front, Xu Zhiman's mouth curled, and two 20mm MGFF cannons highlighted the tongue of fire at the same time, spraying directly at the ** type Peanding tank. Xu Zhiman slowly pulled up, the plane flew quickly, and an explosion came from behind him.

There was no need to look back, Xu Zhiman was very confident in his attack, and the black smoke rising from the tank had also confirmed his confidence.

"Alas, one step behind you again!" Dong Changhe also solved his opponent, and when he saw Xu Zhiman, who had already pulled up, he couldn't help muttering.

"Don't compare to me, look at Captain Liu, he is the target we are chasing." Xu Zhiman looked at Liu Zhesheng, who had already shot down the second plane in the sky, and said enviously.

This time, the devils attacked Tengxian and dispatched 12 planes. They had already bombed twice in the previous two days, and when they were ready to attack a third time, 12 Vanguard fighters appeared behind them.

It's still the BF-109B, which has an advantage over the devil's plane, and it's much cheaper. Due to the fact that there are too many foreign personnel in the flight wing, more advanced aircraft have not yet been unveiled. But it's been constantly producing. Now the number of aircraft in the Vanguard is already more than twice as many as pilots.

12 against 12.

The vanguard air force, which seized the opportunity, made a direct surprise attack and killed three planes of the devils. The devil didn't expect the vanguard army to make a move this time, and most of them are still old-fashioned double-winged ninety-one style, facing the BF-109B, which is inferior to others in terms of speed, flexibility, and firepower, and can only be abused.

After three rounds of mutual attacks, the result was 7 to 1, and the vanguard army, which had to train hard every day, was greatly surpassed.

"Be careful!" The staff officer beside Kei Seya pushed him down and fell on top of him.

"Boom, boom" as HS-123 screamed, and a cluster bomb landed nearby, and the smoke from the scattered sub-bomb explosion covered the surrounding sky.

"Yaga!" Seya Kai got up, glared angrily. The staff officer lying on top of him could no longer answer him, and a piece of shrapnel the size of a walnut was stuck in his temple, long since he lost his breath.

After repelling the remaining planes of the devils, the planes of the vanguard army blasted a passage directly at the south gate. The remaining soldiers of the 41st Army, who had already memorized it, pulled the wounded with the only three cars they had and rushed straight out.

"Yaga!" Seya Kai roared again, but it could only be an angry roar, and there was no order to chase it. The Vanguard plane, still hovering overhead, brought his sanity back to a normal level. He could only watch as the soldiers of the 41st Army broke through the encirclement and rushed towards Zaozhuang.

Meng Xiang changed history again, and Wang Mingzhang survived. Also surviving were the chiefs of staff, Zhao Weibin and Zou Shaomeng. However, Wang Mingzhang and Zhao Weibin were both seriously injured and were directly pulled to the hospital of the Pioneer Army by the Pioneer Army's plane for treatment.

"Keep attacking!" Watching the plane hovering overhead fly away, Seya Qi unwillingly pointed to the county seat of Tengxian and ordered.

On the 25th, Teng County fell.
