Chapter 110: Come on, Fifth Division
The long list alone took nearly two hours.
Seeing that it was almost noon, a long column of people was escorted and lined up.
"Too many people, right?" Staff Officer Pang, who was sent by Li Zongren to discuss specific cooperation matters, witnessed all this throughout the whole process, and when he saw the long list of 312 executions, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"The traitor and the dog are annihilated, and everyone will be punished!"
"Execute!"
"Phew! Bang! Bang! ”
Meng Xiang didn't see the ugly appearance of the Han anniversaries who were frightened by the sound of gunshots. He was now standing on the roof of a four-story building, and the sky around him was empty. The warm sun shining on his body at noon made his eyes want to be confused after staying up all night, but the sound of gunfire from the east shocked his heart again. He took a few steps forward to the edge of the building and looked into the distance. The splashing north wind that bypassed the obstacle was already a little biting, but it still couldn't dissipate the depression in my heart.
"Conspiracy! All of them are conspiracies! Do I need conspiracy? Meng Xiang kept asking himself. He looked up at the sky, then raised his right index finger and looked at it in the sunlight for a long time. Under the sun, the shadows are already very light, and even the backlit side of the finger has a red streamer shining.
His left hand was then raised, and his outstretched middle finger shouted to the sky: "Come quickly, go quickly!" ”
"The Han annihilation team betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, and attacked the river defense; The vanguard army retreated to Quancheng and tried the Han annihilation! Li Zongren looked at the Ta Kung Pao in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled at Bai Chongxi opposite: "This vanguard army is also a good means!" If it weren't for the approaching of Kou, I'm afraid that Jinan City would have been their world a long time ago! ”
"This time, I can't get much benefit! I saw the battle report sent from below, this vanguard army is very strong! Ryosuke Isoya jumped to his feet. Not only do they have planes and heavy artillery, but they also have no shortage of weapons, but I don't know whose handiwork? If you give him three or five years of development, I'm afraid of ......"
"Someone has more headaches than us, ignore these for now!" Li Zongren smiled and looked at the map on the wall, "Right now, we need them to delay ourselves for a while, so that we can set up a position in the Huai River area and deal with the Yue Kou in the south and east." ”
"Don't worry about this, their roots must be in that area, if they don't leave, I won't be too rampant to go south. Han Fuyu also smelled the benefits, and at this time, he actually set up a position in Tai'an, ready to take the opportunity to make up for his reputation! In this way, even if he occupies Jinpu, the number of people who leak to our side has been greatly reduced. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be embarrassed! ”
"What if the vanguard is defeated? The East Road is also here! ”
"Then someone needs to be on the east side to help them decompress! It's just that I'm afraid there are some twists and turns! ”
Things really had a twist and turn as Bai Chongxi said, and the Fifth Division actually advanced all the way at a rapid pace, so that the reinforcement orders that had not yet been authorized by the final authorities were frustrated. In just five days, their vanguard had already broken through to Weixian. This made a large number of people in Jinan who had evacuated to the east panic, but the public trial meeting that day made many people destined to be unforgettable, and the strength of the vanguard army was close to the best implementation of the order to evacuate Jinan.
Songs, cross talk, storytelling and other means constantly spread the idea of the main theme among the people through loudspeaker broadcasts produced by the base, and the strict discipline of the clone soldiers and the enthusiasm of the student volunteer team also made this panic slowly subside. The most important thing is that they saw a cannon pull past them, straight to the east.
Meng Xiang didn't expect the Fifth Division to be so fast, he didn't know that in his previous life, it was after the navy of Yuben occupied Qingdao that the War Department sent the Fifth Division to Qingdao. However, he knew that it was only after a long time that the navy and army had been fighting each other for a long time before the Fifth Division began to advance westward. At this time, the strong rise of the vanguard army made the Fifth Division come ahead of schedule.
"Don't be afraid to come!" Meng Xiang looked at the extra 12 million yuan on the account, and was full of pride for a while, "They come here, I will bombard them with cannons!" ”
The family property of these Han Jians is very rich, and those who do not have family property are not afraid of turmoil. In addition to gold and silver cash, there are other real estates such as land and real estate, which cannot be sold at a high price in the chaos of the war, and are temporarily shelved and handed over to the sheep to take care of together.
With the money, the recruitment process has also gone much smoother. Before, Meng Xiang didn't dare to open his mouth to recruit people, although the weapons and equipment were cheap, but there were more people, and the military salary was enough to make the money bag empty. Moreover, the vanguard army's generous pension system, Meng Xiang regards it as his bottom line, and he is absolutely unwilling to give up. Once there are major casualties, I am afraid that Meng Xiang will go bankrupt first.
It's still easy to use clones, although their sacrifice also deducts the merit points they brought to the base commander, but they still retain the merit points of other superior officers, and in general, it's still very cost-effective.
"Recruitment! Lots of recruitment! There are a lot of people, what are you afraid of! At this time, with money, his confidence is much harder.
"How many people do you need to recruit?" Niu Yi, who is in charge of recruiting and training recruits, asked.
Meng Xiang calmed down suddenly, and after calculating with his fingers for a long time, he said: "The initial upper limit is 50,000, and according to the future situation, it will be expanded to 100,000." ”
"How many people have been recruited now?"
"More than 32,000 recruits have been recruited!" Niu Yi has learned to use the word more.
"Yes, if you continue to train, if you don't meet the specified requirements, you'd rather be dismissed than go to the battlefield!" Meng Xiang instructed here. He kind of understood the bitterness of the Americans who would rather exchange shells for human lives. Coupled with the later pension compensation, human life is much more expensive than artillery shells, and even the ultra-low-cost pension of the current Chinese people is high in the face of the cost of cheap ammunition at the base.
In this regard, Meng Xiang has no complaints, human life must have a high value evaluation.
"Also, the student soldiers of the teaching team, give me a good look. None of them can be sent to the battlefield. It's not their turn to go to war yet, and they're turning on the role of wisdom much more than simple cannon fodder. Meng Xiang sighed, they are the most enthusiastic in history, but the talents who have been trained hard for more than ten years are only buried with a bullet on the battlefield.
How many national elites gave up all their identities when the nation was most dangerous, and went to the battlefield with their chests held high, and the blood of 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops made them sacrifice their lives for the motherland. It turned out that the helpless choice in history allowed their cannon fodder to fatten only a corner of the land of China, but with the opportunity to change their fate, how could Meng Xiang make such a low-level mistake. At the critical juncture, the duty of these student soldiers is to teach. In the future, once a firm foothold is established, the construction of the site needs the support of a large number of talents.
A huge steel monster took advantage of the night to drive out of the tank factory in the main base, and slowly drove onto the Jiaoji Line to the east, and the 380-millimeter barrel more than 17 meters long was even more chilling.
"This is the train cannon?" Meng Xiang, who came over, led the people to board this special train.
"It's a pity that the railroad tracks and roadbed can't be used to drive too fast!" With the arrival of Kong Ci, the big eyes of Kong Ci have already narrowed into a line with a smile.
"This one doesn't seem to be as good as the armored train ahead!" Meng Xiang looked at an armored train driving in front of him and muttered quietly.
Ever since he saw the power of the giant cannon and did not lose ground in air combat, Meng Xiang had the idea of producing a larger artillery. It's a pity that the land artillery is too big, it's too clumsy. As a last resort, Meng Xiang's eyes turned to the train cannon. He remembered that he had a train cannon himself. Although he didn't know that the train cannon had been lying in the northeast, what if the train cannon came in?
The train cannon is used to attack fortified positions, and it is definitely a great weapon in this era.
Under such a crisis, he invested more than 200,000 yuan in the production of a Max train cannon during World War I. Although the German K5 train gun seems to be more powerful and can be produced, after the base is discounted, the price of more than one million still makes Meng Xiang retreat.
Although the maximum firing range of Max's train gun is only more than 23 kilometers, the shells of more than half a ton will definitely give the Fifth Division an unforgettable memory. Although the biggest use of the train cannon is to attack fortifications, at this time Meng Xiang relied on his deterrent effect.
He looked at the twenty K16 cannons on the train behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.
"Come on, Fifth Division!"
