Chapter 259 Who should I hit first?

"We are the ones in the army who are dedicated to defending the country! The Japanese are here. If your new 8th Division is a coward who dares not face the Japanese, our vanguard army will come. Our vanguard army is still in Shandong and has not retreated!" Zuo Paohui shouted loudly at the bottom of the embankment, and the guns of the soldiers of the New 8th Division below have long been hung.

"Be careful!" someone suddenly shouted.

Then a bombardment sounded, and a shell fell on the embankment.

"The division commander has set off fire!" someone shouted at the New 8th Division below. In history, after digging a section of river embankment, Jiang Zaizhen used two flat-firing cannons to bombard the embankment at Gardenkou.

The two guns were ready long ago. Hearing that the vanguard army ahead was very powerful, the gunfire was first bombarded and supported.

Another "boom" sound, and the soldiers of the New 8th Division below were in a stir. The bomb fell near the soldiers who charged and fell to the ground, and two soldiers were blown up on the spot.

"Come on, carry these brothers to a safe place and treat them quickly!" Zuo Paohui did not hide, but stood up, ran to the group of wounded soldiers of the New 8th Division, and shouted to the soldiers on both sides.

"Boom" another shell fell nearby. As soon as the soldiers of the New 8th Division hesitated, more than a dozen soldiers had already run out of the Pioneer Army to help with the transport. A medical team from the Pioneer Army began to prepare for treatment.

The 50mm mortars of the Pioneer Army also began to fight back, and the six mortars were bombarded together to make the two 75 guns pause for a while.

But after all, the two guns were a bit far apart, and the mortars were bombarded at long distances, and the accuracy was very poor. Not long after, when the Pioneer Army was transporting the wounded personnel of the New 8th Division, a shell fell into the crowd again. Zuo Paohui fell down on the spot, and several other soldiers also fell to the ground.

The shortcomings of air transport were revealed because of the tight manpower and the transportation was more. The heavy weapons were fewer, and the mortars with only 50 mm were unable to suppress the two 75 guns. However, the two 75 guns only fired these four guns. The vanguard's reconnaissance aircraft had already flew over their heads and pulled the machine gun. Although there was only one machine gun on this reconnaissance aircraft, the two guns had no way to go. The gunners were shot by the machine guns and ran away.

"Send out all the manuscripts and photos!" Meng Xiang lay there and directly instructed Shu Er.

With the arrival of the surrounding people, the conflict on the Yellow River embankment ended. Even Jiang Zaizhen did not dare to dig the embankment in full view of everyone.

In this conflict, five people died in the Pioneer Army and 11 people died in the New 8th Division, mainly injured in the artillery bombardment behind.

"The Central Army wants to dig the Yellow River embankment to retreat! Use water instead of troops, where will the people in Henan, Hui and Su provinces be placed?"

"With water instead of soldiers, is the helpless plan of the Chiang government or the intentional move? What is the intention of the Central Army to preserve its strength?"

"Where is the sorrow of a weak country? Who can determine the life and death of a million people in just one word?"

"If there are 10 million victims, who will support them? Who will they vote?"

"150,000 Central Army chased and annihilated 20,000 Japanese troops in Tuehara but failed. The elite troops of the direct descendants abandoned the city and fled, and the cause and effect of the dam breaking incident!"

On June 13, major newspapers published the incident of the Yellow River Breathbreak. In this era, there were not many secrets in the Central Army. Some things, even if some senior officers didn't know about them, the newspaper industry had known them. Some orders about Breathbreaking were turned out. Although there was no name for Chiang Kai-shek, the spearhead had already pointed at him.

Before the vanguard army could attack, many forces had already begun to question Chiang Chiang's government about breaking the dam. The bombardment made Chiang Chiang's head full of anxiety.

The Pioneer Army also took the opportunity to shake off the attacks of the Central Army because it was stationed near the Yellow River embankment and was worried about the Japanese army's destruction and helped protect the embankment at the request of the people. It also slapped another time.

He Yingqin had to come forward to explain, claiming that these were just individual plans and were not adopted by the central government. The Zhaokou dam breaking incident was just a personal behavior, and the Huayuankou incident was purely caused by misunderstandings and minor personal frictions. The relevant responsible persons will be severely punished.

Faced with the pursuit of Japanese invaders, the Central Army was defending Zhengzhou to the death and defending the Pinghan Line. They also sent people to protect the Yellow River embankment from destroying the Japanese invaders.

After hearing the news, the Japanese immediately stopped attacking and advancing, and began to think about moving the troops in higher terrain.

Few people believed He Yingqin's words. The people around were still guarding the dam, and the crops that had been in the half-year were about to return to the warehouse. At this time, they did not dare to be careless. The Japanese did not dare to believe He Yingqin's guarantee. Their spies found it more in detail, and the two divisions almost made fish and shrimp underwater. At that time, the personnel might be able to run some, but a large number of heavy artillery, armor and equipment, horses and grass were flooded. After lifting the siege of the 14th Division, they began to rest temporarily and stabilize their positions before talking.

On the 13th, the 13th Division of the Japanese occupied Xuzhou, while the three Japanese divisions that were sieging the city of Linyi were still confronting the city of Linyi. Because Junan and Ju County had both fallen into the hands of the vanguard army, they moved their command to Lianyungang. A section of Longhai line from Lianyungang to Xuzhou had been opened. The 57th Army responsible for blocking the Japanese army and the 8th Army guerrillas, mainly powered by the northern Jiangsu salt police, evacuated to Tancheng, Shandong.

After occupying Xuzhou, due to some gap between North China and Central China, the three divisions of the Central China dispatched troops temporarily stopped heading north.

The 13th Japanese Division, occupying Xuzhou, tentatively sent a corps to attack the vanguard army stationed near Taierzhuang, and was beaten back by eight 203 heavy artillery and 16 150 heavy artillery placed there. But as soon as the Japanese retreated, news came out that the Niu 13 who was stationed in Zaozhuang had a battle with the 81st Division.

Nearly 100 casualties were suffered on both sides, and some people have seen the battlefield, and they can still see the broken arm and broken body there.

Tang Pharmacist issued a document to condemn Niu 13, but Niu 13 held high the banner that only obeyed Meng Xiang and refused to listen to the mobilization above. He even occupied a large amount of supplies evacuated from Xuzhou, which gave the Central Army people responsible for handling these items a headache.

Liu Jihei's bandits were also causing trouble everywhere and looting big families, but unlike Liu Heiqi, Liu Jihei was more rules-abiding, and the robbers were all rich and unkind. Although they did not help the poor, they did not harm the people. Also, because of the banner of revenge for killing their father, some forces that had a feud with the vanguard army also moved closer. Even the support of the *** people, Liu Jihei agreed. He had a weapon treasury left by himself, and he did not have to worry about weapons and ammunition, but the food and grass were not enough. So he asked for one million yuan of food and grass to raise soldiers as soon as he opened his mouth.

Faced with his nearly 10,000 people's strength, the Japanese were very moved and agreed to the one million conditions.

For several consecutive days, it was rumored that the upper class of the Pioneer Army was unstable. At this time, according to reliable information, General Meng was still in a coma from time to time, and the Pioneer Army was asking superb doctors to treat it from Europe.

"It's better to invite a few more. It's best to stay here. Improve the level of the medical school. Our medical level is not very high now, especially in internal medicine and other aspects." Meng Xiang nodded and recognized the matter of hiring a doctor. Most of the training centers trained are soldiers, and the auxiliary talents are mainly spies. The number of doctors has always been in short supply. Even cloning doctors are mainly based on field medical skills and focus on shells. If it weren't for the medical team's generous medicine, they wouldn't have created a big name. Some diseases cannot be cured by minhuang, and penicillin works immediately as soon as it comes out. But this medicine is more expensive than gold and ordinary people can't afford it.

But when the base was upgraded to the third stage of level 2, Meng Xiang clearly saw that the production cost of penicillin plummeted and became much cheaper.

"Control penicillin is not the time to use it on a large scale. We just got the patent from Fleming. The shadow company has not yet been fully prepared, and the method we developed on the ground has not yet been made. I hope this drug can be spread from the Chinese." Meng Xiang was very cautious about penicillin. It was too early to say that penicillin resistance was, but the huge role of penicillin in the war cannot be seen by one or two countries. Before we gain a firm foothold, Meng Xiang was not sure to resist the swallowing of wolves.

It is best to talk about the wolves fighting each other and then talk about it. Now, in addition to a few rich people, Chinese people don’t get much benefits. The profits of sulfonamide and other drugs are also not low, and the supply is in short supply. The production capacity of base hospitals is limited. It is not advisable to issue new drugs without extracting the maximum value of sulfonamide and other drugs. Patents are in hand, and it is not too late to launch them after World War II begins.

At this time, this Chinese magic medicine was used to treat some wealthy families. The profits made were not low at all. But because the people who were treated were either rich or noble, or some famous bulls who were cheaply rescued, the reputation of the Pioneer Army Medical Team and the Pioneer Army Hospital was considered to be open.

"This method is just to fool the Japanese for a while. Let's see where the Japanese will attack next. I have to step forward as well, otherwise it will be troublesome if the internal chaos is messed up. In the past few days, the ones that should be made have also come out, and the ones that should be jumped will also jump, and it will be cleaned in two days." The ones that jumped out faster than Meng Xiang thought, and some plans must be advanced.

"In addition, the Yellow River dam breaking is a good opportunity now. If we use this as an excuse to draw a clear line with the Central Army, do you think the Japanese will attack us first, or the Central Army first?" Meng Xiang asked Tang Yaoshi.

“这些都不影响日寇的决定,影响日寇决定的在他们国内!”这个问题却是很难说,没有一个定数.***人的面前就摆着两条路,先打先锋军,还是先打中央军?

"We must first fight the vanguard army and solve the worries. Only after we are connected north and south can we steadily attack the Chinese Central Army in the mainland." Lieutenant General Hiroshi Ni, the commander of the 2nd Army, said that the 2nd Army no longer has the ability to go to the west. He was unwilling to give up and hoped that while solving the vanguard army, he would slowly make up for the strength of the 2nd Army and finally participate in the Central Army's feast.

“中国中央军在我们手下接连败北,正是疲惫之机,适宜乘胜追击!”也是刚上任的第1军司令官梅律美治郎中将却是支持继续西进攻打中央军,14师团和16师团胜利在望,已经占据了开封,虽然因为受到黄河决堤一事的影响,正在休整准备.但准备好后,就可以一鼓作气配合着黄河北岸攻过去的援军攻下郑州,占据平汉线和陇海线的交汇点了.

"The vanguard army is also having constant internal problems at this time. Their commander is in a coma again, and the morale of the army is unstable, so it is suitable for attack!" said King Hiroshi Ni Guantao.

"At this time, it is because there is a problem within the vanguard army and it is not possible to send troops. It is suitable to concentrate its forces to attack the Central Army in Zhengzhou. If Zhengzhou is conquered and the Pinghan Line and Longhai Line are opened, the vanguard army can be fully surrounded. At that time, whether it is to attack the vanguard army or to attack Wuhan south, it can be easily decided!" Meiru Mijiro did not give in at all. Both of them had support groups behind them. At this time, the performance of the 2nd Army suffered heavy losses and could not be supplemented for a while. It was the time when the 1st Army took the lead.

"The vanguard army is not easy to fight. Although their morale has been affected, their combat effectiveness is still very strong! Two days ago, the 13th Division's temptation was not optimistic. Their heavy artillery was very powerful. And their planes, and the sky still belongs to them now." Zheng San, chief of staff of the Central China Expeditionary Army, interjected,

"According to the analysis of the base camp, it takes at least five divisions to be sure of attacking the vanguard army! And it will take at least three months. Even if the German government has agreed not to provide the Chinese weapons, their relationship with the Soviet Union is closer. During this period, even if the Chinese Central Army did not interfere in our attack on the vanguard army, in three months, the Chinese government can use the power of the Soviet Union to arm 300,000 elite troops. If we attack Wuhan again, we will find that there is already a wall of iron! The troops mobilized by the Central Army from all walks of life can turn it into our Verdun." He said it exaggeratedly, and even he did not believe that the Central Army would attack a Verdun, but three months later, it is certain that it is said that the Central Army is more difficult to fight than it is now.

The goal of the Central China Expeditionary Army is to point directly to Wuhan. The rich Yangtze River coast is their goal. The plundering in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has made them rich. The Yangtze River coast is also rich, which is their goal to pursue. Opening up the upward channel in China also requires the support of money. The soldiers and officers below also hope to continue to fight to the west and plunder more wealth.
