Chapter 381 Did the Japanese escape the Yellow River?

"We still lack a lot of things now! We need a little bit of establishment. This requires time, not just money." Meng Xiang sighed.

There was a bank run in Japanese banks across China. The initiator was Meng Xiang and others, but although they had formulated plans, they lacked manpower to complete it. Although the power of the Pioneer Army had controlled every township in the Seventh War Zone, the penetration capacity of large areas outside could not be compared with that of the Central Party and the Red Party. In many places, even some local community gangs were not as good as that of them.

If you set up intelligence organizations in various places and spend money, you can still get a lot of information, but in terms of employment, it is not possible to establish information points in various places that have only been established for less than a year. And even if it can be done barely, Meng Xiang did not intend to expose those information points in this matter. So this time, Meng Xiang spent another money again, and the Central Party and the Red Party one million yuan in the cost of one million yuan. Using this money to deposit it into the Japanese bank for three or five yuan, they organized people to withdraw the money together, and it would be theirs. In addition, the rumors of gouging from people around him, a bank run immediately formed.

In addition, the news that the Japanese suffered a great loss on the military tickets of the Pioneer Army was heard, and everyone pushed the wall together. The temporary run caused many Japanese banks to close. Even those who were not closed were drained by the crowd who came to run.

This made the Japanese attempt to stabilize their positions in the military ticket market of the Pioneer Army the next day fail. The defeat was like a mountain of decline. A large amount of funds from the Pioneer Army began to show their power and kept pouring down. Coupled with the reverse change of the people, the points returned to the normal 10 points, and even exceeded. Then there was news that the Pioneer Army attacked Guisui. The news came that the Japanese wanted to borrow Britain and the United States to slow down.

Seeing that the delivery was about to come, the Japanese had no chance to carry it up again. In the end, they had to lose more than 40%, abandon more than 50 million US dollars, and return in a big defeat.

Kobayashi Mitsuji shouted three times to the sky and committed suicide by cesarean section.

Kenji Doihara was severely scolded by the superiors. However, this plan was made by the base camp, so he did not lose his official position and continued to be his spy leader.

This time, it was not counted as others earned. The Pioneer Army alone won not only this 50 million US dollars, but also the hot money from the outside domestic and foreign countries, and the harvest exceeded 200 million US dollars in one fell swoop. Many foreign banks in China entered at 7 or 8 o'clock after watching, and when they were sold, they were already 9 o'clock, and some of them were even sold until 10 o'clock. They also suffered a great loss. Some foreign banks were squeezed to the brink of bankruptcy and had to sell their assets to maintain it. This made the Pioneer Army make a fortune from it.

The 10-point duration was not too long. After all, the appreciation of the copper circle was a general trend. After relying on the rebounding force, the vanguard army slowly retracted, making the exchange rate of the copper circle stable to around 9.6.

At this point, this bronze round battle has come to an end.

Meng Xiang relied on arms transactions, government financial funds, various money plundered by traitors, funds obtained from auction assets, war bonds and other funds, as well as some loans borrowed from the Czech Republic, Poland, French and Germans in advance, and a total of billions of dollars were gathered. With the value of the military tickets themselves and the support of the people, he overcomes this difficulty in one fell swoop.

Originally, Meng Xiang estimated that one billion was not enough, but he didn't expect that the hot money in China would have invaded so much. If it weren't for the publicity later, it was the Japanese who were making trouble, which made many people choose to watch, withdraw, or even turn against each other, the vanguard army would not have won that easily. Meng Xiang couldn't help but sigh again that there were too many people and great power.

In a few days, both sides invested more than 3 billion US dollars. The party that bought the market lost more than 400 million US dollars this time, and many apartment owners and old people in Beijing and Tianjin were also selling sellers who had lost all their money. Speculators in other places received late news. They rushed to observe and bought it at around 7 o'clock. As a result, they were trapped in large amounts of funds and lost a lot of losses. Even the activities of some gangs were reduced a lot. It is said that some big shots in the central government also swear and suffered a lot of losses.

At this time, Meng Xiang ignored these things completely and was very moved by taking stock of the gains and losses of this action.

"I understand why I'm called a financial tycoon. This kind of eating appearance is really unforgettable!" He sighed. Selling two Yamato may not necessarily make any profit. Now he makes it back and forth in a few days.

"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the US stock market for 29 years!" I remembered that in less than a month of 29 years, US$26 billion of assets were destroyed, and Meng Xiang was still insignificant. But he was more wary of financial wars. Only by personally experiencing them will he feel its tragic. The opponents he faces in the future will not only be careless Japanese. If it is Britain and the United States, the scale of the attack will be more than these, so the system must be improved so that the opponents can't take advantage of it.

This is the game of capital. One of the criteria for measuring capital is to compare how many things are used. Therefore, strength is the most important thing. Without strength, everything is empty talk.

"At this time, the Pioneer Army must have received strong support from the counterfeit company. I didn't expect that they could gather so much money so quickly. That counterfeit company is rich enough to rival the country and should not be underestimated." Fumikoto sighed. The 50 million US dollars lost by the Japanese at this time also had a great impact. This is real liquidity. Using this reserve can obtain 500 million yen without affecting the domestic economy, but it was all wasted at this time. Misjudging the relationship between the Pioneer Army and the counterfeit company is one of the reasons.

"They spare no effort in supporting the Pioneer Army. We need to re-understand the strength of the Pioneer Army. In this way, with the full support of the Bizarre Company, we will no longer face a force without a foundation. The empire will be more difficult in the future." Fumi Omen said a little depressed.

Faced with the failure of the Pioneer Army several wars, someone needed to bear this responsibility. Koewe Fumi, the emperor's favorite minister and the palace nobleman, one of the five photographers, was excluded by the army and took the blame for this time.

"Then our attack?" Kiichiro Hiranu hesitated. Fumizu Konomi, who retreated to advance, recommended Kiichiro Hiranu as the new prime minister, and changed his position with him, becoming the new Speaker of the Privy Council. His power remains, becoming an important weight for the balance between the Japanese royal family.

"The arrow is on the string, and I have to fire!" Koewe Fumi sighed softly. The people need a counterattack to maintain confidence. Otherwise, according to the domestic economic situation, once they lose confidence in the war and lose the transfer of external contradictions, they are afraid that all kinds of contradictions will break out immediately internally and the government will collapse immediately.

"Continue to press forward and fight until Baotou." After receiving the news that the 38th Army of the Pioneer Army had occupied Guisui, which the Japanese abandoned, Meng Xiang ordered again.

"Continue the attack!" Zhang Zizhong, who had been following the team, waved his hand.

The Pingsui Line has extended to Baotou, and even if the Japanese are destroying it, the hurry is not very serious. This has also brought convenience to the vanguard army's advance. In a remote mountainous area near Guisui, a chariot factory and a logistics command center have been built, and weapons and ammunition and supplies are immediately filled with newly produced trucks and transported over. The Pingsuiyuan Railway behind is even full of various supplies transported. One is to conceal the source of weapons and ammunition, and the other is to transport some civilian supplies to maintain social stability in the occupied areas.

"The Pioneer Army is catching up again!" Major General Ishi Benin, the chief of staff of the Mongolian Corps, said in deep pain. The Pioneer Army was too fast, and a squadron that blocked the tail of the Pioneer Army was caught up by the vanguard troops. The firepower of the two Kirov airships turned them into single digits without blocking in the field.

Lieutenant General Renzuoba, the commander of the Mongolian Corps, was speechless. He withdrew according to the instructions of the base camp, attracting the attacking forces of the vanguard army to the west. But the vanguard army's rapid attack followed directly to their heels. As soon as they arrived in Baotou, the vanguard army's airship came with them.

The static bombing at high altitude caused heavy losses to the 26th Division, which was responsible for air defense, to suffer heavy losses. Originally, their air defense weapons and ammunition were insufficient, and at this time, they were helpless in the face of the airship at high altitude. The airship fully played the role of the bomb bay, and the carpet bombing was staged again.

It stopped in just three minutes, and there were not many attack targets on the ground.

The last carpet bombing used a large number of bombs, but the Japanese army was about to counterattack, and the supply of ammunition was still relatively in short supply. After all, the base's output per unit time was limited. A big deal like this could no longer be used for a long time. Three minutes of raindrops were enough to shock the Japanese troops below.

The rest of the time is the performance time of the plane.

After replenishing fuel at the simple airport in Guisui, the escorted plane began to attack with the airship again. With the whistle of Stuka d, the lightning was the first to fire and attack the scattered Japanese on the ground with machine guns. The Japanese who scattered in groups of three or three during the airship bombing were not worthy of Stuka's bombing.

"We cannot win this battle without restricting the power in the air. Their infantry is less than fifty kilometers." Insumi Ishimoto reminded.

The Japanese attached more and more importance to the power of the Pioneer Air Force. Without the cover of the plane, their infantry and navy have become pitiful targets in front of the Pioneer Army. Those old-fashioned aircraft not only fail to work, but also lose a large number of pilots. So far, the losses of more than 200 pilots have made the Japanese feel pain.

So, the Japanese who made up their minds began to vigorously develop air power. The Zero aircraft was not only born early, but also after replacing the engine, it became a model used by both sea and land. Mitsubishi, Nakajima, Kawasaki, Tachikawa and other major aircraft manufacturers were produced together, and the production scale expanded to six per day.

But so far, there have not been a hundred aircraft, let alone support the Mongolian army.

"Continue to evacuate!" Lian Zhuobo, commander of the Mongolian Corps, was silent for a while, and suddenly spoke, "We crossed the Yellow River overnight and went to Shaanxi." At this time, the remaining personnel of the Mongolian Army, including some engineers, light and heavy corps and artillery corps, were left with less than 7,000 people. Facing the 38th Division of the Pioneer Army, they had no chance of victory at all.

On the west is Fu Zuoyi's army. Even if he rushed all the way, the vanguard army behind him followed him. If he did not receive support, the entire Mongolian army would eventually become history. In the west, there were no reinforcements in the north and the east could not pass, so they could only choose to go south. Go south and move quickly, you can contact the Japanese troops in southern Shanxi and go to Shanxi. You can even continue to rush south into the Guanzhong Plain.

Some people plan to sacrifice the Mongolian army, some people want to save them. As long as they have military achievements, the shame of the Mongolian army will be washed away.

"Look south!" He looked at the winter dusk and the sky with a golden vanguard airship wrapped in the sunset light, and said in a deep voice.

"What? The Japanese crossed the Yellow River overnight?" In the middle of the night, Meng Xiang, who received the news, was also surprised. He originally wanted to slowly dismantle the troops stationed in Mongolia. After all, there were not many combatants from them. But he didn't expect that the Japanese crossed the Yellow River overnight. Many places in the Yellow River in February were frozen and thick, and people could cross the river. But the situation of the army crossing the river was different. So many people and supplies could easily cause collapse if they were not careful.

Because it was getting late, the plane had already returned to Guisui. The airship that lacked the escort was worried that it would be attacked by the Japanese plane, so it also returned to the vicinity of Guisui and replenished ammunition.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Zizhong, who received the news, led the 38th Division to the Yellow River in Baotou. They were originally repairing the Pingsui Railway and marched slowly, but the instructions they received were to keep steady and steady without being impatient. This was mainly because Meng Xiang had been considering the relationship with the Second War Zone.

It was a good thing when the Pioneer Army went to Zhangjiakou when they were in Zhangjiakou. Lu Zhonglin's cooperation matters had been agreed upon, and he also turned to the Pioneer Army. Therefore, the central government could not say anything.

However, this raid on Datong and conquering Jining, and although the lost land was recovered, neither the central government nor Yan Xishan agreed to the cooperation.

Yan Xishan had been paying attention to the changes in the territorial territory of the vanguard army for a long time and knew it clearly. He knew very well that if the vanguard army captured Shanxi, they could spit out the meat in their mouths? Even if Yan Xishan had been in charge of Shanxi for more than 20 years, he would still be destroyed in the face of the vanguard army's minimum living allowance storm.

He also has no good way to deal with them for the time being. This method cannot be said to be wrong with others. This is not the Soviet Union's approach. Privatization still exists. From top to bottom, everyone is welcomed. It is impossible to be better than them. If you want to be better than them, you can't do it.

The problem of food distribution involved in the minimum living allowance is not too serious in normal times. The only thing to worry about is the distribution issue and the balance of interests involved in major forces. But at this time, a large amount of money still needs to be invested in military spending to protect themselves, so how can we care about people's livelihood?

The only thing to expect is that the Pioneer Army has limited financial resources and is limited to one place.

Unexpectedly, they expanded rapidly, and soon expanded from Shandong to Beijing and Tianjin, and then recovered Hebei, Chahar and other places, and jointly implemented the minimum living allowance policy. This made Yan Xishan feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, the Pioneer Army quickly sent people to contact the cooperation matters. At that time, it was just some cooperation matters near Taihang Mountain, but Yan Xishan did not let go at all.

If you want to cooperate, how can you cooperate? Unless it is agreed that the territory captured will be managed by Lao Yan Xishan. Even if that is not safe, if the Pioneer Army comes there, after a long time, a vote of all citizens will be held. Yan Xishan will still have to step down. If it falls into the hands of the Japanese, there will be a chance to counterattack. But if it falls into the hands of the Pioneer Army, there will be no great righteousness of the national war, and it will be slim to take it back.

The best way at this time is to stay away until we come up with a better solution. Therefore, Yan Xishan has always been smiling and polite to the personnel who went to negotiate with the Pioneer Army, but he is always practicing Tai Chi and going around in circles, but he is not clear about his statement.

Chiang Kai-shek did not want the vanguard army to expand, and it had already threatened the central government at this time. Will it be that half of the country be in their hands if it expands? Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek also put aside the vanguard army's request for the attack on the outside.

Meng Xiang had known about some of Yan Xishan and Lao Jiang's affairs for a long time, and was not surprised by this. He directly used a move to kill first and then report, and did not care about Lao Yan's attitude, and directly attacked. This is also a reason why the Japanese were not prepared for it.

As soon as the vanguard army captured Datong, a political storm was ignited.

Among the bigwigs in the central government, almost all the spearheads began to point to the vanguard army. They destroyed the unspoken rules.

Ming Dynasty, everyone accused the Pioneer Army of not abide by military orders and dispatching troops privately. But in fact, everyone was afraid of the expansion speed of the Pioneer Army. If he did not fight like this, he would expand rapidly, and one day he would burn the heads of various warlords. At this time, he had not yet fully baptized by the War of Resistance, and the strength of various warlords was still very strong.

At this time, the vanguard army infringed public anger. So, after the vanguard army captured Datong, it stopped its attack and focused on adjusting internal problems.

But the dispute about Datong continues, but how could Meng Xiang care about this? The Datong Pioneer Army is occupied and refused to let go. This is taken from the Japanese, and he has the ability to snatch it away by himself. Not taking the initiative to attack others does not mean that others will be bullied and will be honest and passively beaten. If anyone is not convinced and wants to practice troops, the Pioneer Army will never be polite.

When the base stabilized, it was considered to have settled in Datong. Meng Xiangcai began to continue attacking outside.

Suiyuan Province is Zhu Shaoliang's eighth war zone, and it also governs Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia. Meng Xiang will discuss cooperation first as usual. But at this time the vanguard army was on the verge of the storm. How could Zhu Shaoliang talk about cooperation with him? Moreover, the troops stationed in Mongolia were almost beaten at this time, and the remaining more than 10,000 people could fight for a while as long as they worked hard, and they might be able to expel them and recover them.

This is naturally a delay in laughing and joking.

How could Meng Xiang not know his idea? Seeing the last step, he was about to make wedding dresses for others. The large chess game set up by Meng Xiang would not let others get involved. He stopped dealing with it and directly ordered the vanguard army to start fighting. He captured Guisuiyuan in one day and rushed to Baotou overnight. He was bound to seize these two places. At this time, the army gathered by Zhu Shaoliang had not yet accumulated. Gansu and Ningxia in the Eighth War Zone were filled with warlords of all sizes and big and small even Fu Zuoyi's troops, who were close to Wuyuan, were separated from Yan Xishan's Jin army. None of these people would easily listen to his orders.

Fu Zuoyi was determined to attack the Mongolian army, but the more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers who were blocking Baotou were also a big threat. He was also taken to Shanxi to attend a meeting to criticize the Pioneer Army. When he came back to mobilize the people, news of the Pioneer Army conquering Guisui had already been heard there.

Meng Xiang was not very polite about Yan Xishan and Zhu Shaoliang. After all, they were old warlords. But as a brilliant general in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Meng Xiang was still very concerned about it. However, Fu Zuoyi was already the commander-in-chief of the Northern Road of the Second War Zone at this time, commanding the 35th Army, the newly formed Damage Division, the 1st Cavalry Army and the 2nd Cavalry Army. He was already the overlord of one side, and it was difficult to gather the command of the vanguard army.

Even so, Meng Xiang didn't want to have a relationship with him too much. Baotou and Guisui were necessary for Meng Xiang, but he still didn't mind giving it to Fu Zuoyi who was negotiating cooperation with him. So those Japanese, Meng Xiang planned to slowly drive them out of Baotou and hand them over to Fu Zuoyi to clean up the shrimps.

But the Japanese gave up fighting and crossed the Yellow River and ran southward.

"Plant a cannon and blow the ice of the river open!" Zhang Zizhong waved his hand. He didn't expect that the Japanese had no plans to fight and continued to retreat directly.

"Boom boom boom boom!" Although the follower's heavy artillery did not arrive, the 76mm tank gun of the tank that quickly followed up first went to the Yellow River to bombard the Yellow River.

As the shells exploded on the ice, the ice of the Yellow River made a crackling sound. Hundreds of Japanese soldiers who were running to the ice to cross the river exclaimed in unison, and they rushed towards the shore.

Muyou and Ji also ran with the crowd, and ignored the abandoned cart behind him. It was a victory to be able to run to the other side.

"Boom!" A shell fell to the front. Although the splashed ice did not hurt anyone, the ice in front had broken open. Mu You and Ji looked at a long white mark winding and cracking to his feet. The crackling sound made him frightened.

"Don't come here!" He shouted loudly at the dozen Japanese rushing over from behind in horror, "The ice is cracking!"

As if in response to his words, the white mark immediately deepened, and with a crisp sound, hundreds of square cubes of ice around it shattered into pieces with countless cracks.

"Ah!" More than a dozen Japanese around screamed and fell into the turbid Yellow River water that surged up.
Chapter completed!
