Winter nights are long in the eyes of those who are anxiously waiting.

In order to best cope with tomorrow's battle, after half the night, after hearing that there was no major battle on several fronts, Meng Xiang went to bed early, but woke up three times in a row. When he saw that the lights of the headquarters next to him were always on, he couldn't sleep anymore. Fan Chong is sketching something on a map.

"You haven't slept yet?" As soon as Meng Xiang asked, he felt that he was a bit of an idiot. At this tense moment, it is you who can sleep.

After Fan Chong said "um", he continued to sketch at the desk.

Meng Xiang consciously didn't bother anymore, just looked at the only window that was not very big.

The moonlight outside was bright, and the moon in the wax moon looked cold. The cold light came in, Meng Xiang stretched out his hand, and the moonlight shone half of his palm. At this time, Meng Xiang's heart suddenly flooded with longing. The recent busyness has made Meng Xiang, who has been seriously lacking in sleep time, rarely dream of his family. But today, the accumulated thoughts suddenly broke down the emotional defense line in his heart.

Fan Chong raised his head slightly, looked at the young general who was sitting with his hands stretched out, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Report!" The silence was broken by the voice of the second rat, and this clone officer who seemed to never have to sleep, and had super energy, walked directly towards Meng Xiang with an urgent report in his hand.

"Oh, the 109th Division has been transferred?" Meng Xiang asked lightly, and handed the telegram to Fan Chong as he spoke.

"The 16th Division is understaffed, and it is not unusual for the 109th Division to call back now! Now that the Jinpu line has been opened, the next step is to accumulate troops and go straight south, and I am afraid that the 16th Division is a little powerless! Fan Chong looked at it and smiled.

"What about the 108th Division?" Meng Xiang asked. Not knowing how to pretend to understand is a big taboo, Fan Chong and others also know that their military level is not very good, and they are not afraid of other people's jokes, and they can continue to improve by constantly learning and mastering.

"I'm afraid they're going to move! As soon as the Tianjin-Pudong railway is opened, we are not the most important goal! Fan Chong shook his head slightly.

"Is there really a devil?" Han Fuyu confirmed again.

"The north gate of Jinan City has been breached, and the devil has entered the city! The devil asked a brigade to go south directly! The adjutant reported directly

Han Fuyu nodded and said no more.

"Commander, let's fight!" Li Shuchun said softly beside him. When evacuating from Jinan, he and He Siyuan both advocated defending the city and not retreating, but in the end, He Siyuan stayed, but he followed Han Fuyu south because he had to deal with big and small things. A few days ago, the central government held a military meeting in Kaifeng, but Han Fuyu did not attend it under Li Shuchun's persuasion.

He didn't know that if he went, history might still run according to the original trend, and on the 11th he was paved, and on the 19th he was directly shot.

Although his army was still stationed in the Tai'an area, and only half of Shandong was lost, the conspiracy between him and Liu Xiang to overthrow Chiang had indeed been leaked.

As soon as Liu Xiang's Sichuan army left Sichuan, he could no longer preside over it. Yan Xishan was still holding the army and retreating, and Gui Jun took the opportunity to ascend to the front of the Anti-Japanese War, and his reputation was incomparable. With the outstanding performance of the vanguard army, Han Fuyu, who felt a little helpless, immediately realized his crisis.

He is no longer irreplaceable. One abandoned Jinan, it was nothing, but compared with the vanguard army that defended it, the recent public opinion was not favorable to him, and it was likely that Lao Jiang would knife him. Although I don't know the depth of the stab, Lao Jiang has always been extremely ruthless.

"Hit!" Han Fuyu nodded and said, "A brigade still wants to be arrogant!" "He had to fight, since the vanguard army pulled up the banner of resistance and defending the territory, there have been many soldiers in the army. Many of the local soldiers had their homes near Jinan, and they were homesick and fled back directly, and even some young officers enthusiastically defected to the vanguard army. If you don't fight again, people's hearts will be scattered. This is not something that can be controlled by military law.

"It's a bit of a hassle!" Li Zongren rubbed his forehead gently, the defeat of the vanguard army had long been expected by him and Bai Chongxi, and it was not bad that he could hold on to it until now. Because of Han Fuyu and Lao Jiang, his idea of transferring troops to support was also persuaded by Bai Chongxi. That place in Jinan is ventilated everywhere, and it's really hard to keep. On the contrary, the Tai'an area is much easier to defend with the help of geographical advantages.

"Send a telegram to Han Fuyu and persuade him to keep Tai'an Tianha." He stood up, took two steps and moved his body, and said, "Forget it, let's send Huang Minqi to go in person!" This time, shouldn't Lao Han have a lot of shirks, right? Lao Jiang is going to sharpen his knife and kill chickens and monkeys. ”

Regarding Lao Jiang's attack on Han Fuyu, Li Zongren also roughly guessed. The loss of the city of Nanjing needed someone to calm the people's anger. Compared with Nanjing, he also fought for a period of time, but Han Fuyu gave up Jinan without a fight and lost his old bottom, which is the most suitable for surgery. Han Fuyu's fall is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Gui family. When Lao Jiang divided the princes, it would naturally be the turn of the Gui family, but with the fall of Han Fuyu, the land of Qilu was vacant, and at this time, the land of the two Huai was strong, this was definitely an opportunity.

As for the vanguard army, it won several battles with blood, but the staying power was never good. In this regard, Li Zongren has a deep understanding after suffering several losses in the Gui department. Fighting a war is not only for soldiers, but also for having some good weapons, and it is necessary to have a solid foundation in the economy and politics. But the vanguard army is too tender after all.

"Why do you say I'm too soft-skinned?" Meng Xiang shook his head and asked Pharmacist Tang. At this time, there were only two of them in the large living room.

"We must thicken our skins, continue to ask for military salaries, and we must compile them!" Pharmacist Tang said with a smile.

"Jinan City has just been breached, so I asked the central government for something, this is too cheeky, right?" Meng Xiang asked himself that he still couldn't do it.

"The saint is envied, and the villain is praised!" Pharmacist Tang sighed, making Meng Xiang a little dizzy, this conversion is too fast, right?

"It's not good for the vanguard army to be undefeated. Undefeated, the Japanese on the opposite side are staring closely, and the immortals behind are also staring closely. As soon as Jinan City is broken, these pressures are all small! Pharmacist Tang shook the white paper fan and said, "Didn't you also propose to expand the organization some time ago, but did the central government agree?" ”

Without waiting for Meng Xiang to say anything, he smiled again: "Under the vanguard army's consecutive victories, others are watching it closely, and it is not easy to expand!" At this time, under the defeat and retreat, it is simpler and no longer taboo. With the achievements of the previous games, it's time to improve! ”

Meng Xiang was speechless.

"You try again, if you want an army, maybe someone will give it directly! They are all waiting for you to withdraw from Jinan, so that they can be co-opted! Pharmacist Tang smiled.

Meng Xiang is still speechless, what kind of political routine is this? He seemed to understand at once one of the reasons why the war of resistance took eight years.

This is not something that he can completely understand after being familiar with the conspiracy for a few days under the guidance of Tang Yaoshi, Meng Xiang could only be speechless, so he had to divert his attention and continue to think about the actions of the tank troops after dawn.

In Nanjing, more than 30 soldiers and trainees of the tank battalion were rescued by the vanguard army, plus some drivers recruited by the pioneer army, after being familiar with the basic operation of the tank, they could cooperate with the cloned tank soldiers, which led to the establishment of the armored regiment.

Since the main energy of several tank factories is devoted to the production of artillery, there are not many tanks that need to occupy two production lines, and the armored regiment is still not yet formed. In addition to the partially damaged, only 83 were destroyed.

Thirty-two vehicles of one of the battalions were transferred to the Yellow River defense line to the north and defended on a mobile basis.

In the east of Jinan, there are still 121 vehicles of the 121st Brigade of the Second Battalion on standby, just in case.

The other more than 40 vehicles were all sent to the Shouguang area in the northeast. It was a plain and a smooth road, and according to intelligence, the 5th Cavalry Wing of the 5th Division and the chariot units in the division were planning to bypass from there. It can not only attack the area of Guangrao Linzi, but also flank the vanguard army defending the Yellow River with the 108th Division.

Meng Xiang waited for a day before he got the news that the devil had arrived in Shouguang. At this time, due to the tightness of the Eastern Front, Meng Xiang diverted his attention, but then the news also came. After dark, the devil had no intention of taking advantage of the darkness to advance. This made Meng Xiang, who had been squatting on the big screen and waiting, a little disappointed. Even at night, it does not affect the display of the big screen, and at most a little more service fee is charged, which makes Meng Xiang extremely hopeful that the devils can take advantage of the night to sneak attack. The radio station of the sub-base was directly connected to the radio on the tank command vehicle, and Meng Xiang was about to play a war game of commanding a tank night battle, but he didn't expect to get stuck all of a sudden.

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow, come quickly! Meng Xiang muttered to himself, "It's the same during the day." ”

At this time, the commander of the 5th Cavalry Wing of the Fifth Division, Xiao Di Shifan, was looking at the map and constantly thinking, where to attack tomorrow?

The news on the radio had already let him know that the first round of attack of the 108th Division had been beaten back, and the Fifth Division had suffered heavy losses, how should he choose? Attack Boxing, and 108 flank? Or do you want to take Linzi directly?

His hesitation didn't last long, and a telegram from Seishiro Itatsune arrived.

"What? Did the 16th Division enter Jinan City? When Xiao Di heard the news, he understood the order of the commander of the division behind him and went straight to Linzi.

"Linzi! The glory of the Fifth Division is here! "Xiao Di threw a heavy punch to the red-circled sign on the map.
