After suffering heavy casualties, the 116th Division in the Jiaozuo area has been shrinking in the Jiaozuo area and has not made any further sorties. It's good for those people to hold Jiaozuo, and they want to attack again? The 120th Wing was about to withdraw, but after two rounds of rocket bombardment by the Vanguard, it retreated. They didn't know that they had missed the opportunity to evacuate. Meng Xiang had circled their names on the map.

With the continuous expansion of the vanguard army, the establishment was killed by the old Jiang Ka. Even when the vanguard is so strong, it is still so. Now, as long as Meng Xiang is willing, the vanguard army can easily expand into an army and easily expand by thirty divisions. But the consequence of this was that the prestige of the central political axe was discredited, and with the actions of the vanguard army, the warlords in various places immediately followed the example of their respective reading power and became kings, and the most advantageous was Yue himself.

In this step, the vanguard army will lose part of the popular support and the convenience of recruiting talent under the banner of the Central Army. After discussing with Tang Yaoshi and others for a long time, Meng Xiang still felt that it was not the time to form an army alone. The existing strength of the vanguard army has been expanded and is still sufficient for the time being. In order to expand in the next step, it is also constantly negotiating with the Central Army.

The vanguard army has made so many contributions, and it cannot be said that it is not rewarded. The establishment of the vanguard army was also fueled by other warlords, which made Lao Jiang very passive. After rounds of negotiations, and in the disputes of many bigwigs, a consensus was reached: no matter who it is, a wing can get an extra division number by annihilating a wing.

This is not only for the Vanguard, but also for other forces, but you must first have the strength. Total annihilation and annihilation are also two concepts, and in the historical records of later generations, it seems that the situation in which he came out with a red face and admitted that he was annihilated has never appeared. The difficulty of annihilating the Devil United is also conceivable.

Of course, when the central political axe is codified and miscellaneous cards, it will be issued as it should be issued. The vanguard didn't care, all they wanted was nominal recognition. At this time, the 120 team is the first bean sprout on their plate. If it weren't for the approaching Spring Festival, they would have been immediately divided by the knives and forks of the vanguard army. Even so, under the blockade of the artillery fire of the vanguard army, the 120 wing was not much supplied. There was no water on the small dirt slopes, and all they had to do was the snow and ice.

They nibbled on hard shells and energy cakes, some used snow water to melt a little bit of marching food containing sugar and skim milk powder, and some nibbled on dough cakes and ate rice balls. After the battle in Huaxia began, the instructions of the base camp on the issue of food were to be self-sufficient on the spot, and the simple thing was to rob. said that his life was not like that of later generations, and many of them were also poor. With this on-the-spot supply, the people's chickens and other things will suffer. In the garrison in peacetime, those things that steal chickens and dogs are indispensable.

The army of any country will become a hungry wolf without supplies, and the strong logistics of the Americans make them gentlemen. But at the same time the Soviet-German army already had horns on its head. Of course, there is also a problem of proportion, and a scourge like Xiang Yu himself has deviated from the meaning of supplemental provisions. They are already in trouble.

When the army is in the army, it is a scourge, but when it is on the march, such food is not available. It can only be seen in the logistics of the troops. Don't look at the vanguard army sending dumplings to the front, without strong logistical organizational capabilities, hot dumplings will not appear in the hands of every soldier.

He said that his logistics had always been very poor in World War II, and the army's food was the worst among all branches of the military, and even the little devils themselves scolded and complained. At this time, after the supplies sent by the 116th Division in the rear were cut off by the artillery fire of the vanguard army, the 120th Wing could only rely on the food it carried to maintain. In peacetime, the standard set by the army is to eat only seven or eight minutes full, so as to exercise the soldiers' ability to endure hunger and cold in wartime. In order to be light during the war, there was not much food to carry. For several days in a row, the food carried by the 120 Wing also bottomed out.

At this time, smelling the aroma of hot rice wafting from the position of the vanguard army, they salivated.

"There's meat. There is sugar. There is milk. And wine? Yuji Aoki sniffed the diffuse aroma wafting from the vanguard positions in the air, and closed his eyes, imagining the source of the scent. He was envious of the food provided by the Vanguards, but prisoners of war generally did not enjoy these in the past.

There was a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, but it sounded like a gunshot in the ears of Yuji Aoki. He opened his eyes violently, and there was still nothing strange around him, only the noise of the Great Wall in the distance.

"Eat fast! We're going to attack in the night! Iijima inada wiped his lips and shouted. Thinking of the night battle, it was not only Tsukada who attacked, and after many defeats of the devils, they would also pick up the trick of night fighting.

"The year is over, and the cannon is still fighting!" Meng Xiang stood in front of the window, listening to the sound of firecrackers in the distance, and after standing for a long time, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The little devil won't let us have a good New Year, so we'll bombard the fuck with a cannon." ”

The devil's moves, the vanguard army has also been paying close attention. Seeing the appearance of himself, it seems that he will not be good at night. It's better to wait for the enemy to attack, give them a lesson, and let them be honest.

"You little cubs, all listened well and finished the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Let's go up to the fort and shoot at the little devils. During the Chinese New Year, you have to light a few cannon battles. On the Shanhai Pass, Liang Qitang was eating dumplings with an aluminum marching lunch box in one hand, and kicked Yu Linguan, who was bragging, with a smile and scolding.

"Yes, Company Commander. Let's go to the artillery battle in a moment. Let's eat dumplings, and the little devils eat cannons! Yu Linguan rubbed his buttocks and jumped away, making a grimace and laughing.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the alerts in the Seventh War Zone were marked yellow. As soon as it was dark, the sound of firecrackers rang out everywhere. The subsistence allowance in the theater has basically been distributed. Many families in Shandong and other places have accumulated their surplus wealth in the autumn harvest. The people who have surplus food in their hands are much more relaxed in their hands, and the number of firecrackers at the end of the year alone can be heard that the joy of the people is more than in previous years.

At this time, the place where the vanguard army confronted Yue himself also sounded a burst of crackling sounds showing the atmosphere of the New Year.

Based on the information collected by the devils before, the vanguard began to bombard this valuable target.

From Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Yanmen Pass, to Jingcheng, Jiaozuo, Zhengzhou, Xuzhou, Lianyungang and other places, the bombardment of giant cannons or heavy artillery sounded.

Artillery rang out at the border, but apart from the artillerymen and some of the soldiers who were on guard, the rest of the soldiers were sleeping peacefully. The sound of artillery disturbs the devils, and there is a mission tomorrow. There are dogs who don't need to be on guard for the New Year, and they sleep peacefully on Chinese New Year's Eve.

At this time, in those villages within the Great Wall, the people were keeping the New Year. Some don't sleep all night. There are still beautiful singing voices wafting around the city, and the first Spring Festival Gala of Pioneer Radio has been broadcast.

The Spring Festival Gala of the first radio station adopted the method of recording and broadcasting before the Spring Festival. But under the auspices of the hosts Zhao Lin, Zhao Zhengxiang, Song Shixiong, and Yang Lan, it is as natural as the live broadcast.

In this era, there is no such thing as a sketch, and what brings joy to the public is cross talk and other musical arts.

Zhang Shouchen, Ma Sanli, Hou Baolin, Liu Baorui and other shouzi generations, Baozi generation, Rong Jianchen, Xie Ruizhi, Chang Shutian, Tan Fengyuan's four major single strings, Gao Fengshan, Li Runjie, Wang Fengshan's allegro, Liu Baoquan, Bai Yunpeng, Zhang Xiaoxuan's drums, and other classic repertoire appeared together.

Hua Yanjun, also known as the blind A Bing, was invited to the Conservatory of Music in Jixia School Palace a few years ago, and the Spring Festival Gala also played the song "Erquan Reflecting the Moon".

Because the Beijing-Tianjin area was recovered, Mei Lanfang and others also began to resume performances. A song of Farewell My Concubine made Meng Xiang, who heard it on the radio, very emotional, and other three famous Dans such as Cheng Xunshang, as well as Ma Lianliang, Gai Zhaotian, Xi Shengrong and other old students, martial artists, Xiaosheng, Lao Dan, and all kinds of famous artists sang. Because, the Beijing-Tianjin area itself is a place where the music and art circles gather, so this party was regarded as a classic by later generations of ticket holders.

Not only Peking Opera, Meng Xiang moved out of "Mulan in the Army" by Chang Xiangyu of Henan Opera, "Sister Lin Fell from the Sky" and "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" of Yue Opera of Sanhua, Yijuan and Gui according to the customs of the evening party in later generations. Originally, he still wanted to move out of Yan Fengying's Huangmei Opera, but later found out that there was no such person as Yan Fengying at this time, Yan Fengying is a stage name, born in 30 years, so naturally he couldn't find it. As a result, the performance of Huangmei Opera was temporarily stopped.

In addition, he also moved out of Shandong Lu Opera, Northwest Qin Opera, Sichuan Opera, Hunan Opera, Kunqu Opera and Bangzi Opera from various places. Some of these popular folk operas are not very complete and are limited to local operas. But this time, with the broadcast of the radio, it was suddenly delivered to the ears of the people of the whole country. Although there are usually sporadic broadcasts, this concentrated feast has feasted the ears of the people.

In 37, he filmed the Angel of the Road, and Zhou Xuan, who was popular at this time, sang a song "Song of the Four Seasons". Meng Xiang sang "Yimeng Mountain Minor" with an itchy throat during the Battle of Xuzhou, which was also covered again. made Meng Xiang feel ashamed.

Plagiarism is not only an immoral act, but it can affect the fate of the original creator's life, and may cause him to lose more of his or her classics. It is an invisible weakening of the Chinese literary and artistic circles, so Meng Xiang generally does not use these thoughts of plagiarizing the creation of quyi when he has no actual need.

The party was not only joyful, but also the rebuke of the brutality of the devils, the blessings to the soldiers guarding the border, the chorus of defending the Yellow River, and the March of the Volunteers to inspire the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country for the war of resistance, interspersed with a peaceful and beautiful description of the territory of the vanguard army, and a vision for a better future. Some of the sensational methods that Meng Xiang knew in later generations were blended in, making the first Spring Festival Gala an unprecedented classic. And a documentary film shot for this whole process has also become a classic in the hearts of many people in that era in China after it was screened in the future.

The surrounding artillery did not interrupt the festivities of the New Year in the war zone.

The armies assembled by the devils in some places quickly dispersed under the sound of artillery and began to continue to defend the fortifications in case of the attack of the vanguard army. But the artillery rang out all night, and the vanguard army never attacked.

The devils, who had been tired all night, finally ushered in the dawn.

"It's the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we have to have a good luck. The little devil stayed up all night and helped us stay all night. We're going to go back today. Go to the devil to give them an early greeting, and by the way, you have to ask for a few red envelopes or something. Listening to the Spring Festival Gala, Meng Xiang, who fell asleep after the bell of 12 o'clock, rarely slept peacefully for more than three hours. After coming to the command hall, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Fan Chong, who was still immersed in analysis.

"Today's offensive plan is ready, wait a while, and when I am a little tired, I can launch an attack from several ways and reclaim a few areas." Fan Chong rubbed his reddened eyes and responded.

Before he could finish speaking, Rat Er had already hurriedly walked in from outside, walked directly to Meng Xiang and handed him a piece of information. Meng Xiang took it with a smile, and after a few glances, his face couldn't help but change. After looking at it carefully, he casually handed it to Fan Chong, who was standing quietly next to him. Fan Chong took it and frowned as he looked at it.

"Alas, they were so derelict in their duties!" After Fan Chong finished reading it, he couldn't help but sigh, "Could it be that when they saw that Yu himself came to attack us, they relaxed their vigilance?" lost so many lines of defense in vain. ”

Meng Xiang also sighed in his heart: "Is the habitual surname of history so big? Wuhan is not good if it doesn't twist and turn? ”

The intelligence said very clearly, the defense line of Qichun and other places was broken all the way by Yu himself at about 2 o'clock in the morning today. Wuhan is in jeopardy.

Originally, because the troops of the Yue Army were transferred to Anhui and Henan on a large scale to prepare for dealing with the vanguard army, the Central Army was able to get a respite. But in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Okamura Ningji returned with the 6th and 9th Divisions. However, some of the officers on the defensive line had been poured down by the wine sent by Han Jian, who was bought by him.

As soon as the battle began, the Central Army, which had not the slightest defense, suffered a heavy loss. The Central Army has always been without the command of an officer, which can easily lead to a rout. This time is the same, plus there are people inside who have been bought by devils, under the indulgence and leadership of those Han anniversaries, the two divisions led by Okamura Ningji have been breaking through the Jiangbei all the way to Xishui.

"This time, the defense line of the 200,000-strong army was broken by two divisions of the said man. The central political axe is a big loss of face and its majesty is swept away. Pharmacist Tang said nonchalantly.

Meng Xiang raised his head and looked at him, how could he not know what Medicine Master Tang meant. Only when the prestige of the Central Army is discredited can there be a vanguard army. But at this time, he didn't care about this, but another thing was constantly churning in his mind, the original history of Wuhan was given up by the old Jiang Zhengaxe after learning that after the fall of Guangzhou, he cut off the supply line of the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway. With this preparation, most of the stuff was shipped away.

But this time, everyone felt that with the cooperation of the Vanguard Army and the Central Army, it was no problem to hold Wuhan. Even the Central Army is full of confidence. As a result, many machines are being produced locally, and they have not yet had time to move to Chongqing. And with the fall of Wuhan, the surrounding Changsha and other places were also tragically destroyed. The fall of Wuhan was not just a city, but meant that central China opened its doors to the excesses.

"We can take the opportunity to recover Henan and the land of Lianghuai, and the army will suppress us." Pharmacist Tang said again.

"Even if we attack south with all our strength now, the devil's army will not turn back. The significance of capturing Wuhan is very different. Fan Chong frowned and thought for a long time, and vetoed this statement similar to encircling Wei to save Zhao, "Even if I lose the battle against us, as long as they capture Wuhan, it will be a victory." After all, Jiang Zhongzheng's central political axe is there! ”

"What? Okamura Ninji attacked the periphery of Wuhan? Sugiyama was also surprised to hear the news in the early hours of the morning. The shadow of Okamura Ninji appeared in his heart, followed by the figure of Shunroku Hatata.

Okamura Ninji's surprise attack was beyond everyone's expectations. Even he, the commander-in-chief, has concealed it, but he has transferred two elite divisions, and he will definitely not be able to hide it from Shunroku Hatata.

Today's preparations for another assault on the Vanguard have not yet begun, when they are interrupted by this news. Attacking the periphery of Wuhan, what this means, Sugiyama Gen knows very well. If Wuhan is a moment, and the army led by him has been losing against the vanguard army, then the only thing left is to change people. The people in the country don't care whether the vanguard army or the central army is the central army, in their eyes, the central army that can defeat Lao Chiang can make them more excited.

"If Wuhan is stopped, Jiang Zhengaxe may collapse. When the time comes, the fragmented China, even if there is a vanguard army, will not matter. The consolidation of the Zhina alone required the Vanguard Army to exert its energy. Dealing with the people of China is the direction of the empire in the future! Sugiyama suddenly thought of some of the words that Tohi Yuan had said to him, and he couldn't help but make a quick decision in his heart.

"Hurry up and support them!" Sugiyama Mototo.

At a time when it was difficult to break through the vanguard army's giant artillery and heavy artillery positions, since Okamura Ninji had already made an operation, he could only support his operation. In 918 of that year, there was also a similar incident. The 27th Division, which had been withdrawn from Tianjin in North China to Nanjing, was transferred by him to support Okamura Ninji. In addition, the 106th Division, which had been damaged in defending Jiujiang and other places, and the 15th Division in Anqing and other places, were all transferred to increase the success rate of this operation.

It seems that I have returned to the old ways. I felt the threat of the vanguard army before, and I thought that while they had not yet become bigger, they would be eliminated in the initial stage. But the facts tell them that the vanguard army has grown up, and it is not something they can easily defeat. This requires a realignment of the strategy. If you lose both sides in a fight with the Vanguard, it will only be cheaper for others. He said that he was crazy, but he was not a fool.

As soon as Okamura Ninji attacked Wuhan, most of them immediately turned around and supported the orthodoxy of dealing with Lao Chiang. Suppressing the orthodoxy of Lao Jiang can make Huaxia chaotic again.

Almost on the same day, the base camp also made a decision to support Okamura Ninji's action after some quarrels. As for the vanguard, they went on the defensive, waiting for negotiations later.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of five divisions, the 200,000 Central Army, which retreated to the garrison near Xishui, was also under great pressure. He said that he felt that there was too much difference between dealing with the Central Army and dealing with the Vanguard Army. The luxury armament of the vanguard army is not something that anyone can equip with, even if some bigwigs in the central government are cheeky and ask for it, and exchange some of the vanguard army's human resources or something, but the vanguard army's style of raining bombs cannot be learned.

The military strength of the Central Army has improved after the weapons have been supplied by the copycat company, but it is still worse than that of himself. With the help of the geographical advantages of the Xishui River, it was still broken through by the elite 6th and 9th Divisions in many places, and the defense line was precarious.

"Order them, speed up the evacuation." At this time, Lao Jiang, who was still in Yucheng, was also very annoyed.

The devils in the north are blocked, and there is no danger in the south, so why is there something wrong with this heavily guarded Yangtze River defense line? The vanguard army has been defending for so long, but those heavy artillery are like hedgehogs, so that I have nowhere to start. But as soon as he arrived at the Central Army, how could the Yangtze River Fort, which also had heavy artillery purchased from the cottage company, be captured by Yu himself overnight?

He said that he was deflated by the vanguard army, and he already knew it. But he turned the finger at him, but he was also a little surprised. He originally thought that this process would still require him and the vanguard army to fight for a while, but he said that he was instigated halfway.

"He said that his 100,000 troops are attacking the defense line on the periphery of Wuhan, and there will be troops coming over in the future. How do we keep it? Lao Jiang's bald head looked at Chen Chengdao, who was in charge of the Wuhan garrison.

Chen Cheng had no good way, and in the face of the sudden attack of the devil, he could only defend it. Waiting for the nearby reinforcements to arrive, but the reinforcements of the Central Army will come, and it is said that my own reinforcements will also come in a steady stream. Eventually, it will evolve into a previously anticipated Armageddon.

"If we fight again, what are our odds?" Lao Jiang obviously also knew about the devil's intentions, and when he attacked Wuhan last year, all kinds of situations had already been analyzed. But now the armament of the Central Army has been greatly improved after receiving the support of Soviet Russia and purchasing some from copycat companies.

"The odds are slim!" Chen Cheng said. The weapons of the Central Army have increased somewhat, but after several battles in Songhu and Nanjing, the elite soldiers have been lost, and even if they are left, many of them have gone to the vanguard army. There were many new recruits in the Central Army temporarily, but their combat effectiveness could not be raised all at once. Most of these recruits, who have not received much training, go to the front line as cannon fodder.

At present, there is still a big difference between the battle loss rate of the Central Army and Yue himself.

"My army is being transferred from its own territory on a large scale, at least 100,000 people!" Chen Cheng said again.

"Hmm!" Lao Jiang nodded slightly, and asked again, "How is the 54th Army?" ”
