"What? Lao Jiang withdrew like this? Although Meng Xiang knew that Lao Jiang was not safe, he didn't expect Lao Jiang to retreat like this.

The Yellow River is not a natural danger, pontoon bridges have been erected in the places occupied by devils near Kaifeng, and the devils of the brigade have come from the north. Even the vicinity of the garden entrance has been occupied by devils. After the people spontaneously organized a night guard, the troops of the vanguard army there had obeyed the orders of the Central Army and were transferred to Luoyang.

And now, the Central Army has also withdrawn. retreated all the way to the south, originally planning to retreat to Xinzheng, but when the Central Army retreated, it always took care of the head and tail, and the devils who followed up chased all the way to Xuchang, which was heavily guarded.

retreated all the way to Luoyang, and also directly swept past Gongyi and retreated directly to the Yanshi area.

In this way, the people of Zhengzhou have almost run away, and those who should have been burned have been burned, and those who should have been destroyed have also been destroyed. After the devil rushed in, he found that it was an empty city again. The Gongxian Arsenal also moved a lot in advance. This is also one of the reasons why Lao Jiang gave up Zhengzhou. So many days of defense have provided a guarantee of time for evacuation.

This is just like the Battle of Songhu, and later generations saw that Songhu was just a simple battle. But if you can't bear it in those three months, Huaxia is really not far from the country. The three months exchanged for the flesh and blood of more than 100,000 people ensured that the machinery and materials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were transported to the rear in time, becoming a solid cornerstone for laying the economic foundation during the Anti-Japanese War.

Wuhan was also evacuating at this time. Lao Jiang already had the consciousness of evacuating in advance, so as not to panic when he got it.

The fall of Guangzhou has sounded the alarm for Wuhan, and the fall of Zhengzhou has made Lao Jiang understand that Wuhan is likely to be unable to hold on. There's not much need to hold on to it. The only thing to do is to have enough time to evacuate the factories and supplies in Wuhan, large and small.

This time, the vanguard simply held its position and did not attack again. At this point, there is no point in attacking. What the vanguard needs is to hold their ground.

"No shrinkage, just nail there! How many devils come, how many fights! Meng Xiang said categorically that the Heze sub-base has been upgraded, and the chariot factories, logistics supply centers, air command centers, and hospitals that have been built one after another can already support the battle of an army.

"There's no rush! Now Zhengzhou stands firm! When the adjutant reminded him of what he had said before to deal with the vanguard army, although he was annoyed, he also knew that Zhengzhou had only been captured and that he needed to stabilize the surrounding situation.

The vanguard army is also stable, in addition to building pillboxes and defense lines, Meng Xiang also announced that he will also implement the subsistence allowance policy in southwest Lu.

As soon as this move came out, it immediately made the people who were watching fall to the side of the vanguard army. Even those who would join the party or something broke up, the people below ran away, and the leader at the top became the commander of the singles.

At this time, Meng Xiang had already deeply felt the power of the land policy of later generations, and with one move, no matter how great Jiang Jiang was at that time, he could not save the defeat. The people below have run out, and what's the use of relying only on those die-hard officers to rush? After all, there are only a few people who don't have to worry about food and clothing, and there are only a few people who Lao Jiang can use gold and silver utilitarianism. Benefiting the people and winning the hearts of the people is the king.

"Be sure to stay there!" Lao Jiang urged vigorously at this time.

lost hundreds of miles of territory in a few days, which made him very faceless. But it gave up Zhengzhou, preserved its strength, and suddenly highlighted the territory of the vanguard army, making it fall into the complete encirclement of devils. With the existence of the vanguard army, the devils did not dare to attack the retreating Central Army with all their might.

"Urge the people below to pay close attention to building a defense system in the areas of Funiu Mountain, Tongbai Mountain, and Dabie Mountain." Old Jiang remembered a staff suggestion sent by Jiang Baili. Lao Jiang still recognizes Jiang Baili's strategic vision, and knows that it is not only the safety of Wuhan that is at stake.

It doesn't matter if Wuhan is lost, but if the land of the two lakes is occupied by devils, then Lao Jiang will not have much chance to turn around.

"Why did this Jiang Baili go to the vanguard army?" Lao Jiang sighed.

"What a big plan!" Meng Xiang took the plan formulated by Jiang Baili and Fan Chong's master and apprentice, and sighed after reading it for a long time. This is the plan for Jiang Baili to advance northward.

"It's a pity that there is not enough time!" A little bit of time, if the development of the vanguard army had been advanced by a month, this plan might have been able to take a risk. But by this time the situation has been reversed. Soviet Russia and the devil temporarily compromised, and Lao Jiang also withdrew from Zhengzhou in advance. At this time, the vanguard army was more than defensive, and the offensive attack still lacked many conditions.

"Our logistics need to be readjusted and developed, and we still lack a large number of political cadres! The implementation of the subsistence allowance policy in the Special Administrative Region will not be completely stabilized until at least the first quarter. Meng Xiang said to Fan Chong.

At this time, the vanguard army did not have the kind of logistics support for advancing thousands of miles. A large amount of supplies can only rely on the step-by-step advancement of the sub-bases, little by little.

Then there are the political workers, and these management tasks cannot be done by just one person. The reason why the subsistence allowance in the SAR has been able to continue smoothly is inseparable from the participation of more than 6,000 clone soldiers, who have achieved selflessness and do not bend the law for personal gain. Not only set an example, but also supervise others. Coupled with the enthusiastic encouragement of young students, one cold and one hot form a perfect match.

However, this model is constrained by the limited number of human cloning, and it is not enough to rely on the enthusiasm of young students, and sometimes good intentions do the wrong thing.

In fact, as long as a place is stable, the local economy will naturally be developed, but each place needs to have a supervisor, and one of Meng Xiang's thoughts is the citizens' congress, and the other is those political cadres who can be controlled in their hands.

The Department of Political Science and Law of the Jixia School Palace focuses on law and political theory, while the rural construction faction that was invited to come is weak, and the small-scale implementation is okay, and the large-scale implementation is too much, and there are too many external and internal influences.

When Meng Xiang realized this, he decisively set up his own political work school. The basis of this is the vanguard army.

Under the influence of these clones, many soldiers in the vanguard army have also learned the demeanor of model soldiers from these old squad leaders, and discipline in the army has slowly penetrated into their bones. They are both excellent veterans and faithful enforcers of discipline. The number of clones may be small, but their numbers are increasing.

"Chen Baoguo" Chen Ergou wrote his name on the test paper with a pen.

At that moment, he felt the solemnity of his name and looked at his comrades-in-arms who were immersed in studying.

"I've learned a thousand words!" Chen Ergou was a little surprised when he thought about it. He didn't even know how to write his own name before, but now he can already write a thousand words, and he can be promoted directly from sergeant major to second lieutenant, and even lieutenant by virtue of military merits. He couldn't help but think of the old squad leader who taught him to read, and he didn't know how he was doing now?

At this time, Tiger 100 was already a battalion commander. The military exploits of the clones are not tolerated by a little sloppiness, and several battles have allowed him to accumulate his military exploits, which he deserves.

Clones can read and write, and they can read both simplified and traditional characters. They can directly help their subordinates learn to read words.

The education established by the Pioneer Army is not only compulsory education for children, but also literacy classes in society and in the army.

Especially in the army, Meng Xiang's requirement is that officers must know at least 1,000 words, unless they have special military merits.

Although this did not completely seal the path to promotion for illiterate soldiers, it made the passage for promotion much narrower. Every soldier doesn't know a thousand words, and it is much more difficult to be promoted than others, and the military merits of special contributions are not so easy to earn, and sometimes they may not be exchanged for their lives.

Moreover, the current recruits don't know three hundred words, they can't count a hundred numbers, unless they are special talents, or they can't even get out of the recruit camp.

I learned 300 words from being illiterate for three months, and there are a large number of teachers who are teaching at any time, as long as the students are willing to learn, this is not too difficult.

After the officer knows the thousand words, there are not too many special requirements, after all, the duty of a soldier is to fight, and promotion depends on military merit, not a diploma. The main purpose of learning to read and write is to avoid mispronouncing messages. In addition, it is necessary to promote the improvement of the quality of the entire vanguard army, and in the next step, how can you fly tanks and planes if you don't know how to read and write? Meng Xiang can deeply understand the future battle, and the army that does not master the culture can only be a grass coward.

It is only after the soldiers of the army have learned the culture that it is easy for them to understand the meaning of the state and the nation. It opened up another world in books for them. They learned to think more, because they were more than just soldiers who absolutely obeyed orders. Later, they were the backbone of nation-building. They should not only know how to destroy, but also how to create.

The territory of the vanguard army was fought by them, and as harvesters, they should have the right to pick. But they need to know what to do and what not to do. There is military law in the army, and there is also law in society. In the future, I will not start to enjoy Qingfu and rob my wife as soon as I enter the city.

Meng Xiang just wanted to make them understand all this through the melting pot of the army. Because his school of political work was built in the army. Those good soldiers will later be the scaffolds that support the vanguard military regime. The 200,000 troops will be 200,000 regiments of tinder, sprinkled all over the country.

The 200,000 troops of the vanguard army were mostly locals, but Meng Xiang had already considered the local balance in advance, and the amount of locals was always suppressed at about half. It is not a good thing for a place to have a pile of soldiers and a monopoly of power, just like the navy. Being a warlord is okay, but it definitely does more harm than good to the country.

At this time, in the vanguard army, there were more than 10,000 Sichuan troops in various battlefields, nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Liangguang region, and more than 20,000 soldiers in Yanzhao in Hebei. There are also nearly 20,000 soldiers in the Lianghuai region, more than 10,000 people from the northwest such as Gansu and Shaanxi in the Northwest Army, more than 10,000 people from the Northeast Army, nearly 10,000 soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, nearly 10,000 soldiers from Henan, and more than 10,000 soldiers from other regions.

And that's not even counting the Readmen and the Readpower Brigade, where the locals make up a lot of the staff, but it's as complicated as the stragglers everywhere.

Although this brought management difficulties, it swept away a lot of troubles in the future. At this time, the Chinese people directly called the vanguard army, not the Lu army, which is also one of them. If the local warlord is confirmed, he will be able to exclude the surname in other places in the future.

The majority of the new recruits are locals, especially after the subsistence allowance, and in order to defend the fruits of this victory, a large number of local young people have joined the army. The number of local soldiers in Shandong suddenly increased by more than 30,000.

Also the main force of political work cadres are those young students. Most of them were also incorporated into the vanguard army and became a major force in the army's political work. For others who were not incorporated into the vanguard army, Meng Xiang also let them study and train together with the army's political work school.

This work in the SAR is a kind of training for them. When the subsistence allowance work in the Special Administrative Region came to an end, these young student soldiers had also been trained and matured. Together with the political, industrial and military personnel, they can lead many novices to face various problems in a broader territory.

"Don't worry, the time for this plan is not now!" Fan Chong said with a smile. Jiang Baili has been paying attention to the international situation, and he predicted that there would definitely be a big war between Soviet Russia and Yue himself, and he also expected that Yue himself's greed would not stop. This is why this plan was introduced, but the changes were too fast, and Zhang Gufeng ended hastily.

"The timing of Zhang Gufeng and Zhengzhou is not necessarily the best timing. It is said that the contradictions between the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union are irreconcilable, and there must be another large-scale conflict, and it is more appropriate to implement this plan at that time. Fan Chong affirmed.

Meng Xiang's heart moved when he heard this, the Battle of Nomenkan was about to break out next year. But Meng Xiang held 200,000 troops in his hands, and he was a little unwilling in his heart.

If we wait until the first quarter of the SEZ has passed, and the expectations of the people come true, the people will take the initiative to stabilize the situation, and the system of citizens' assemblies can be implemented and the base areas can be stabilized. But by that time, it was already close to October, and it was no longer possible for Soviet Russia to launch a large-scale offensive at that time. It is said that the Kwantung Army will move south at any time. At least until May next year, it is possible to find an opportunity to involve the main force of Yue.

During this period, it was a bit cramped to hold a single place in Shandong, and the devils could also use the more than half a year to loot and grow. Next year, the strength of the devil will improve even more.

Hit this year? Or will it be played next year?
