Chapter 333: The German Airship Is Coming
"Such a little devil in Shijiazhuang is still worth us to use such a big formation?" Meng Xiang said with a smile.
When the vanguard army bypassed Shijiazhuang to attack everywhere, the devil realized that the vanguard army was planning to prune the branches first, and then dig the roots.
Subsequently, Sun Tongxuan's 20th division, which set out from Cangzhou, took Renqiu directly. The 81st Division began to control the highway from Shijiazhuang to Cangzhou, which was converted into a railway embankment, and Jinzhou and Wuqiang, who did not have many devils, conquered one after another. The 39th Division bypassed Shijiazhuang, conquered Dingzhou on the same day, and then broke through Wangdu and attacked Baoding with the 20th Division.
The vanguard army of Beiping also sent troops to continue the attack outward, first to the south. With the support of the air force, Zhuozhou was also conquered on the same day.
The battle of the Pioneer Army immediately provoked the people who were waiting in front of the Pioneer Radio. The news of Lianke City continued one after another, allowing the audience to feel the exciting atmosphere when the vanguard army attacked from all sides some time ago. The teahouse, restaurant, and restaurant were immediately full again. The brand of Mo Talking about State Affairs has been replaced with a drink discount.
Terauchi Shouichi also felt helpless when he heard about the attack of the vanguard army, and the devil army was insufficient and the arrangement was stretched. If the city is occupied everywhere and the troops are scattered, it is easy to be broken by the vanguard army with strong mobility ability. Guarding Shijiazhuang and Tianjin, at least they can withstand the rapid impact of the vanguard army, or they can protect themselves. Beiping and Cangzhou have been occupied, and the connection between Tianjin and Shijiazhuang has been cut off by more than half. He had already made up his mind that Shijiazhuang would rely on Shanxi to defend and Tianjin to rely on the navy to defend, so he could only take care of his own affairs.
The Central China Dispatch Army wandered around Wuhan, reluctant to leave this piece of fat that was about to arrive. Far water can't quench your thirst. The Kwantung Army, on the other hand, was involved in most of its energy by Soviet Russia, and it could not send too many manpower.
The attitude of Soviet Russia had eased, but when the Kwantung Army mobilized another wing to support the 16th Wing, it was blocked by two huge cannons. Meng Xiang specially relied on the Luanzhou sub-base to build two French giant cannons, and temporarily authorized Long Liu and Feng Liu at the Luanxian base to take turns. More than a dozen artillery pieces blew up the 30-kilometer Jingfeng Railway outside Shanhaiguan into sections, including two trains.
"Why are you still blowing up? It's so far away, and it's still booming? Retreat ten miles back! Katayama Segetaro of the 15th Brigade looked at the reconnaissance plane flying high above his head, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and said sadly. The garrison of the 16th Wing was attacked by huge artillery, and more than 300 people were killed and wounded by the five artillery, and it had to retreat more than ten miles. But as soon as he settled down, he received three more shots, and more than a hundred people died. The main thing is that the first unguarded cannon is directly bombarded in a place where unsuspecting people are concentrated.
The 16th Wing ran 25 kilometers away from Shanhaiguan before the artillery stopped bombarding. The bombardment is too far, too eye-catching.
The new weapons of the vanguard army continued to appear, and Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany and other countries had long noticed it, but the golden light of the two secret gods of the cottage and the umbrella covered the limelight of the vanguard army. Although Meng Xiang also pushed all the problems on these two companies, there were still people on the territory of the vanguard army who continued to come to find out the news.
The French giant artillery bombarded the devil at a long distance, and the devil himself knew about it, and he kept quiet, and kept spying on intelligence in private. Meng Xiang didn't dare to be too presumptuous, the distance of 100 kilometers with a high hit rate was too amazing, in this era without missiles, the opponent could only be beaten passively.
As the 16th Wing retreated, it encountered newly sent reinforcements.
The new support was the 14th Wing of the 12th Division, which was mainly an anti-Japanese organization in various parts of the puppet Manchurian Qing Dynasty. The 14 Wing was just nearby. They rushed to support the 16th Wing.
But they were also greeted by the bombardment of huge artillery, and after the three cannons killed more than 100 people, they retreated together. In this way, all the way to Shanhaiguan, the dead bodies had to be lined up.
"Planes go blow up their cannons!" Katayama Kekutaro hated.
But when more than a dozen planes of the Kwantung Army were stopped before they could reach Shanhaiguan, an air command center was built near Qinhuangdao, and after receiving an early warning from the radar station, eighteen thunderbolts took off. After nineteen minutes of fighting, the devil's plane was defeated, and the vanguard won 7-2.
"Bombard them with our gunboats!" Katayama Shoutaro shouted wildly.
"They still have the Canglong in Qinhuangdao!" Matsushita Hiranfumi reminded in a whisper next to him.
"Canglong!" Katayama couldn't help but be discouraged. The matter of the Canglong is known to the whole people. It was first blown up and sunk by the Pioneer Army, and then picked up and repaired by the Pioneer Army, and then used it to sink the Fengxiang and Longxiang of the Navy. Ordinary gunboats did not work at all, only the thick armor of battleships could block it. In the last naval battle in China, although the aircraft carrier was in the limelight, the Mutsu was unharmed under the bombing of the aircraft, which made people believe in the strength of the battleship.
But ordinary people, even Matsushita Heifumi, don't know what happened to the King Kong, which was almost sunk, is said to have been attacked by an ultra-long-range cannon. Katayama was a little frustrated when he thought of this.
"Wait for your boss's orders!" Katayama Sentaro lamented in his heart.
Matsushita Hirafumi was a little strange, how did this boss, who had always been tough and harsh, suddenly become a little frustrated. But he didn't ask in detail, and hurried to find out the casualties of the soldiers, leaving only Katayama Shutaro there with a long sigh.
In sighing and sighing, there is also Terauchi Shouyi, who has already received the passage that Jingcheng County was occupied by the vanguard army and blocked the retreat of the Shijiazhuang army. He suddenly thought of Tianjin, and it was not safe to evacuate by sea. It is said that the aircraft carriers at this time are almost gone, either they have sunk, or they are being overhauled, and some are under construction but have not left the shipyard. Even if the battleship was sent over, when he thought of the Nagato-class battleship of the Vanguard Army, Shouichi Terauchi couldn't help but feel a little frightened. He knew that compared to Yue himself, who had earned too many Chinese interests, Britain and France and other countries actually preferred the Chinese to manage Tianjin, but in the face of this young general of the vanguard army, they needed to give him a little color. In the end, the balance of diplomacy must be tilted in favor of the Chinese.
In this way, the battle in Tianjin can only be fought on the outside and small on the inside. Outside, he was not sure, and the end in the city was still a cheap vanguard. He couldn't help but think of what Kenji Dohihara said to him, and his heart couldn't help but be a little shaken. He doesn't expect anything anymore, in the face of the strength of the vanguard army, no one will take over this hot yam for the time being, so he can only resist alone, which is why he has always been the commander-in-chief of the North China Front.
The bad news continued one after another, and Gaobeidian was breached after a while. On the 12th, Baoding was lost and Langfang was lost. Bazhou is in a hurry.
Shijiazhuang, which was half captured by the vanguard army, was in a hurry. Two brigades of the 74th Division and one brigade of Zhang Lingfu, a total of more than 30,000 people, pressed the 118th Brigade of the devil and beat it fiercely.
"There, there's a situation!" Bao Baisheng saw the reaction of the dog in their class and knew that there were devils lurking nearby.
Following the direction of the dog's toothy mouth, they touched the door of a building.
"Bang dang" After Bao Baisheng kicked the door open, he hid behind the wall next to him, and a bullet flew past him.
"Bones!" A melon-sized thing was thrown in, Bao Baisheng hurriedly turned his head sideways, a dazzling white light flashed, and there were two exclamations in the dark room, and Tong Guanshan, the squad leader next to him, immediately rushed in, Suomi's voice sounded inside, and it was silent for a while.
"It's only two devils! Keep searching! Tong Guanshan nugged the corners of his mouth and waved forward.
In this street battle of the vanguard army, more than a thousand dogs were mobilized. The dogs' sense of smell and hearing played a role in the bioradar in the buildings of the city, and with the special effects of the Pioneer Army's dense rain of bullets and flashbangs, they were like bamboos all the way to capture most of Shijiazhuang.
Terauchi Shouichi only sighed bitterly when he heard this, but at this time, Meng Xiang smiled as exaggerated as Jeremy Bear who stole honey.
The Germans came and brought their gifts. The Count Zeppelin that Meng Xiang had been thinking about.
After the news of Meng Xiang's conquest of Beiping reached Germany, Hitler's instructions came down. For the sake of friendship with the Vanguard, the Germans agreed to the Vanguard's request. Two million marks were sold to the Vanguard for this airship.
After the First World War, under the influence of many promoters, the financial crisis broke out in 23 years, and the inflation rate was even more exaggerated than that of the later old Chiang Zhengaxe. At that time, a dollar could be exchanged for 136,000 marks, even to the point where the price of a loaf of bread was equal to the price of a house before. Worthless banknotes have become children's toys.
It was in this wave that Hitler came to the stage of history. A large number of Jews in the financial sector were the main drivers of this trend, especially those of the financial oligarchy.
It wasn't until the implementation of the New Deal that things got better. The value of the new mark was very high, and when the domestic economy had not fully recovered and the German people were still struggling, in 25 to 26 years, the Germans donated 2 million new marks to help the Zeppelin company build the LZ-127 airship, that is, the Count Zeppelin.
On the 6th, the Count Zeppelin had already lifted off and began to fly towards Huaxia.
The continuous explosion of the airship has brought most of the world's airship shipping to a halt. The flight of the Count Zeppelin was also eye-catching.
When it is 100 kilometers per hour, it can sail 16,955 kilometers normally, and for the distance between Qidu and Berlin, which is only more than 8,000 kilometers in a straight line on the map and 10,000 kilometers in actual range, it is easy to fly directly to Qidu in China. After 6 days of sailing, it finally flew over Qidu.
