Piao Tianwen    The role of the Red Square incident finally appeared. The Soviet army was covered with a shadow of failure.

Instead, the German army boosted its morale and broke through Moscow's third line of defense in one fell swoop.

Since then, all three defensive fronts of the Soviet army set up 300 kilometers west of Moscow were lost, and 1.8 million German troops invaded Moscow in early December.

But this is just the beginning, and the cruel street battle in Moscow has just begun.

Lao Xi was very optimistic and had already attacked the core of the Soviet Union. His confidence was extremely inflated. With a command, the tank troops that were not very effective in street fighting were transferred out.

Guderian continued to explore the south with his armored troops and participated in the conquest of the Caucasus. The army in Moscow quickly reduced to 1.2 million, reducing the logistical pressure accordingly. However, when the German army invaded the periphery of Moscow, they were dragged down by the Soviet soldiers who kept shouting Ula out of the ruins.

Faced with the severe cold and the continuous surge of reinforcements from the Soviet Union from other places, the German army was in a stalemate in Moscow.

The Japanese attacks were still advancing sharply. In early December, they attacked Java and captured Bandung on the 7th.

On the same day, the 55th Japanese Division defeated the British Seventh Armored Brigade in Bogu. The British commander in Myanmar Alexander had no choice but to order the army to evacuate Yangon. More than 3,000 British and Indian troops retreated to Dongxu. At this time, Dai Anlan's 200th Division had arrived in Dongxu, that is, Tonggu or Donggu, and launched defenses nearby.

Alexander was always worried about the troops in Chongqing and did not want to hurry up to participate in the Yangon defense battle. When Yangon was facing loss, he remembered that there were still reinforcements to be used as cannon fodder. The 200th Division had more than 16,000 people. In the rear, there were 100,000 expeditionary troops from Chongqing that had entered Myitkyina and Mandalay. This made the British more courageous.

On the 9th, the Japanese army easily took over Yangon, which the British had abandoned, and began to divide troops into three groups. They continued to advance westward and northward.

It was not that they didn't know that the Chinese army participated in the war, but after hearing that it was not the vanguard army but the Chongqing side, the Japanese base camp breathed a sigh of relief and ordered a direct attack.

The Japanese at least knew that the Pioneer Army and Chongqing were not in conflict, and now they directly entered the war step from friction.

When the world's eyes were staring at the Soviet Union and Southeast Asia in December, a war broke out in the south of China.

On December 1, the vanguard army in Anning was suddenly dispatched, and the three armies of the three places were divided into three groups, including Shuicheng, Panxian and Xingyi, rushed straight into Xuanwei, Qujing and Luoping areas in Yunnan.

In addition, there were two vanguard troops from Guangxi from Baise and Napo, directly attacking Pu'ai and Funing.

The vanguard army guarding the Mangkang area also sent troops to Dekan and other places.

Wherever the Pioneer Army passed, the situation was unstoppable. Whether it was the Central Army, the Yunnan Army or the spontaneous militia, they all surrendered in sight.

Originally, Meng Xiang had set up a settlement base in the Wumeng Mountain area in eastern Yunnan.

Whether it is Liupanshui in the east, Zhaotong in the north, Qujing in the south, they are all coal-resource-rich areas in the southern region, which are suitable for resettlement of sub-bases. However, this time the sub-base layout did not make much use, and there was no need for internal and external echo.

Both the Yunnan army and the people in Yunnan are already looking forward to the vanguard army coming to liberate them.

Not to mention the various good policies promoted on the radio, just looking at the changes in Guangxi and Guizhou, the people of Yunnan have long been unable to calm down. Even in the army, if it were not for the suppression of superior officers, they would have gone to the Pioneer Army to serve in the army. But even so, many soldiers fled, and a large number of people often rushed to the checkpoints and fled to the Pioneer Army's territory with their families.

They had long been looking forward to the vanguard army coming, giving them land, duty-free clothing, and allowing the treatment of compulsory education and cheap medical care to fall on them. Unfortunately, the vanguard army was busy digesting, absorbing and regaining the territory, and balancing the forces of all parties, and never continued to march to the southwest.

After all, the local forces in various places are too large, and various policies also require huge funds and sufficient policy personnel to implement them in place so that they will not become another formalism. The Chongqing government is standing there, and there has always been a comparison. It has been a target for the release of various contradictions.

And now, it is time for the Chongqing government to devote itself.

The six armies of the Pioneer Army were dispatched together and directly opened the gates on the east and west sides of Yunnan.

The vanguard army had no time to advance slowly, and the airborne troops performed over Dali and Kunming again, and guerrilla teams infiltrated from all over the country also emerged. While Long Yun and Lao Chiang were surprised that the border was lost, they put the counties and important places in various places under control.

"It is obvious that the people shown in the information came in empty handed. But now they even got the tanks out. They were defending forward and defending themselves, but they still couldn't defend themselves!" Long Yun looked at the umbrella falling outside the headquarters and pointed the muzzle at the five Sherman tanks at the door, sighed and issued an order to give up resistance.

The Pioneer Army had already had contact with him, but the Pioneer Army would never allow the local warlords to continue to exist, which made Long Yun, who was born in the Yi people, more scruples. In addition, in order to win him over, Chongqing promised him to give him more freedom, allowing him to lean towards Chongqing and maintain a somewhat transcendent position.

But now everything is gone. In the radio station in the headquarters, urgent electricity from various places has continued to be heard, but except for some people asking for help, almost all of them are falling.

"There are hundreds of planes in the sky, covering the clouds and the sun. There are more tanks outside the city than all our artillery. They blasted the city gate with one shot. How can I shoot?"

"As soon as the umbrella flowers fell, the militia and the people here opened the city gate first. The brothers refused to touch the gun. What can we do?"

The defending generals from all over the country were also full of complaints, and after hearing the reprimand of the headquarters, they also complained.

After joining the Pioneer Army, the interests of middle and lower-level officers will be further improved, and the more impact is the privileges of senior officers. Long Yun and others may lose more power, but the officers below don’t have much to do with each other, so how could they take the risk to shoot at the Pioneer Army?

"There are more machine guns than our rifles, can you kill a bird?" A battalion commander kicked down a company commander who came to ask for instructions to fight back. Before the guerrillas of the vanguard army that emerged from the mountains and forests outside the city rushed to the city gate, he raised his flag and revolted first.

He directly surrendered and joined the Pioneer Army. He was treated well and had high honors. He knew how to choose between the two sides. If he did not surrender, he would be killed in vain if he was regarded as a reactionary person. Even after surrendering, he might be aimed at by his guns and be a deadly devil for nothing.

In just one week, most parts of Yunnan were already controlled by the Pioneer Army, and the recovery speed also surprised Meng Xiang.

In fact, as long as he saw where the vanguard army passed, the people would know that his various preferential policies had finally played a big role.

The minimum living allowance and various policies of the Pioneer Army were directly exposed to everyone, and it was clear at a glance and was very simple, but neither the Central Army nor the local warlords or the Red Party nor other forces could do it, nor could they use more preferential policies to block the replacement.

The key is only one word, money! Two words, lack of money!

It turns out that in history, the Chinese army faced the pressing of the Japanese invaders and could not even afford to support the army, so how could they care about people's livelihood? Meng Xiang relied on the huge profits of the base, first eliminated the military spending, and then used arms and external plunder to complete the original accumulation of domestic industrial foundation, thus avoiding the embarrassment of people's livelihood and benefiting the people with various benefits.

This should have been the benefit that the next generation of China, and even the next generation can only enjoy after completing the original accumulation of two or three generations, but Meng Xiang benefited the Chinese people in advance.

This is a pure plot, where everyone knows it, but no one can imitate it.

A good cook cannot cook without rice.

Meng Xiang directly used absolute strength and used a lot of money to slowly kill his opponents. No matter which force in China is, whether it is red or blue, it doesn’t have to rely on the army, but it is enough to overwhelm them with the hearts of the people.

Now the details of all forces in the country are placed in the archives of the Pioneer Army, but Meng Xiang did not clean up in one fell swoop. Apart from some restrictions, the way to deal with the enemy is not to directly eliminate it. Being able to set up chess games, let hostile forces jump in, become their own chess pieces, use them for themselves, and slowly consume them, is a higher level of dealing with the enemy.

Moreover, no matter which force in China is taken seriously, Meng Xiang is no longer regarded as his great enemy.

"The chess game in the south has begun, it's time for us to enter the game!" Meng Xiang no longer cared about the situation in Yunnan. With Lu Han's uprising and surrendering, Long Yun gave up his resistance, and Yunnan was already controlled by the Pioneer Army. The Pioneer Army even landed directly on board Xichang, Sichuan, and took all Panzhihua and other areas south of Xichang into their pockets.

A complete set of smelting equipment exchanged from the Germans with military coats and other supplies has been shipped from Europe, and the final destination will be Panzhihua, which is still desolate at this time.

The roads there are difficult to travel, the infrastructure is poor, and when transported from the Yangtze River, it is necessary to pass through the Three Gorges area controlled by the Central Army. In order to block the possible attack of the vanguard army, Xue Yue led heavy troops to guard the Yangtze River.

Similarly, Hu Zongnan guarded Guangyuan, and many well-known Republican generals from later generations were still in the Central Army. They were unwilling to meet with them directly, hoping to lead their attack power to foreign countries, Meng Xiang was not in a hurry to attack Sichuan. They continued to boil the toads in warm water and ran away Chiang to death little by little.

Once Yunnan was captured by the Pioneer Army, the agreement between the Chongqing government and the British, trapped around the Pioneer Army, was already half destroyed. (To be continued)
