The train slowly stopped at Weifang Station. The railway station on the Jiaoji Railway Line has been taken over by the military. In order to accommodate more trains to stop and turn around, engineers snatched six temporary tracks, but they still seemed overcrowded.

Miao Luo held Yang Qiu's arm with a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was very happy as long as he could be by his side. Rui Yao, who was worried about her safety, also followed her. Although her heart had long been plunged on Yang Qiu, she still kept a little distance in front of everyone, and her resentful eyes stopped on the two arms holding each other, pursing the corners of her lips.

They had arrived in Beijing the day before yesterday, but before they could say a few words, Yang Qiu started to take the special train south to Shandong. Since this section of the railway was under the control of the National Defense Force, the two of them also came to Weifang. In addition to them, there were hundreds of students from universities in Southwest and more than a thousand condolence groups from all walks of life. Even though the railway was overloaded, the military still gave them the green light first.

If anyone supports the National Defense Forces the most, it is undoubtedly the eight southwestern provinces that began reforms. After the land reform is widely implemented in the northwest, the land reform can be destroyed, and the power of local gentry will not touch the south with the heaviest conservative thinking. After the war is over, the heavy troops in the northeast can be quickly calmed down, so that the old southeast forces that are attacked in the middle can slowly collapse.

Jiang Baili, who was sitting opposite to explain the battle, was completely immersed in this battle, and he didn't even notice that the vehicles arrived at the station, nor did he notice that Yang Qiu had begun to conceive a national layout after the war, and continued: "Fengtian has entered a strategic stalemate. Yue Peng has sent a brigade to support the Marine Corps of the Dagushan Fortress. The terrain is complicated and the Japanese army cannot take it down unless the brigade-level attack is launched. The Japanese 20th Division cannot cross the river. In addition, Feng Huafu's two infantry divisions are behind. If they attack Dagushan, they have to consider the danger of being surrounded by us. In the past few days, Chen Shaokuan has been in North Korea and Tsushima Strait. It has been confirmed that four Japanese ships have been sunk. In addition, the Japanese army is mainly attacking Shandong, and the maritime transportation capacity has reached its limit. Before the Japanese 2nd Division did not dare to carry out large-scale cross-sea landings, so Masahi Shinachi can only ensure that he is entrenched in Yingkou and Gaizhou.

In the direction of Jinzhou, Otani Kijiuzang was also short of troops and could only defend the city.

It is no longer possible for the Japanese army in Qingdao to capture the fortress in a short period of time, and even began to experience weakness in succession. During the day, they could only carry out long-range strikes with naval guns and cooperate with some army artillery. The competition was fierce at night, except for the three main frontiers, the rest of the fortresses were basically repeatedly fought over several times. Last night, the first urban street fighting broke out. After Cai E joined two regiments, he drove the Japanese army out of the city.

Kamio Mitsumon has arrived in Li Village personally to command the battle, but Qingdao's terrain is narrow and his troops cannot be spread out, so they can only fill it up little by little! So Laiyang has become the key to the competition these days. Shirakawa Yoshino led 20,000 Japanese troops to surround the 103rd Division and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade in Laiyang. The evening before yesterday, a small group of troops attacked Jimo for the first time, but were repelled by the 102nd Division and retreated to Laiyang.

Judging from the information we currently have, the top Japanese troops are already very dissatisfied with the battle situation. There are rumors that Aitoto Yama Prefecture wants Kuroki Weizhen to replace Kamio Mitsuko to command the Shandong battle. So I think the time for a big counterattack has come! If three infantry divisions can be gathered to launch a general attack on Shirakawa Yoshino's troops and press them back to Longkou and Penglai, Qingdao will have the opportunity to carry out a large-scale counterattack, and cooperate with the 102nd Division to defend Laoshan to take down Fushan in one fell swoop! As long as Fushan is lost, whether it is Kamio Weizhen or Kuroki Weizhen, they either jump into the sea by themselves or they must go into the Laoshan Mountain area and retreat to Weihai."

"So, Brother Baili, do you think the time for a counterattack has come?"

In the face of Yang Qiu's inquiry, Jiang Baili nodded seriously: "I personally think the time is ripe, the Japanese army in Qingdao is already weak, and Shirakawa Yoshinori's 20,000 troops have been helpless in the direction of Longkou and Penglai. During this period, 10,000 new forces have been gathered one after another. If they are allowed to pounce smoothly, then the pressure on Laiyang and Jimo will be greater."

Miao Luo could not understand the combat situation chart, but he could also hear the decisiveness in Jiang Baili's tone, and couldn't help looking around. Yang Qiu also felt that it was time to launch a big counterattack, but when he was about to speak to Mr. Cai, he ran over: "Vice President, Commander Cai and others are here."

Yang Qiu and Jiang Baili ran out of the car quickly and saw that Cai E took He Xi and Zhang Xiaozhun and were waiting outside. After seeing each other for so long, Yang Qiu almost couldn't recognize the few people. Cai E's cheeks were exposed, and his eyes were red and his expression was listless and bright, his official uniform became wrinkled and covered with mud. Zhang Xiaozhun and He Xi were the same. The latter's military boots simply opened a hole, revealing the yarn and socks inside.

Miao Luo and Rui Yao who came out behind him were shocked by the appearance of the few people, and the fog in their eyes suddenly rose. What kind of men are they? What a tragic war that can torture these originally handsome and free and easy men into this!

Cai E was about to salute Yang Qiu, but quickly walked up and hugged him hard. He was stunned for a moment and his eyes became redder: "Commander-in-Chief!" In his words, Yang Qiu hugged the remaining two again before solemnly raising his right arm: "Thank you, let me see the unyielding backbone of this country! From you, I saw the hope of the country! Salute!"

Just a few words made the three of them feel numb all over. The guards who saluted each other behind them made them feel that their efforts were in vain. After saying hello to Miao Luo, Cai E began to introduce the situation of the war. The former took Rui Yao to the middle of the condolence groups from all over the country to help. After they left, Cai E took the lead in introducing the situation in Qingdao: "The casualties are still relatively large. At present, the statistics have exceeded the deaths, and the number of injuries is also equivalent. The huge part was killed by the Japanese Navy artillery fire in the competition.

But the morale of the troops is still high, and the rotation system gives us an advantage over the Japanese army. So we are discussing preparing to take a large-scale counterattack against Fushan. As long as we can take down Fushan, even if we do not use heavy artillery, the supply line from Licun to Qingdao will be under the attack of 120mm mortars."

Hearing him say that Qingdao also needs to launch a big counterattack, Yang Qiu immediately told the story that Jiang Baili thought he should start a counterattack. Cai E pondered for a moment after hearing this: "I also think the time is almost done! There are 4 reserve divisions arriving in Shandong, and the number of 5 divisions currently invested is more than twice that of the Japanese army! Even if the Japanese army cannot be broken, it is even more impossible to echo each other. At present, we need to consider whether to fight Qingdao first or Laiyang first."

"Qingdao is backed by Laoshan. Not only does it have naval support, but it is also complicated to deploy too many troops. But as long as it drives him to the mountainous area, Qingdao's threat will be lifted. Laiyang is surrounded by plains, suitable for large troops to carry out encirclement and annihilation wars. Also, because there are many retreats in Shirakawa Yoshino, the most likely one is to meet more than 10,000 ° people from Longkou to guard Longkou and Yantai."

After listening to his introduction, Yang Qiu looked around the map and waved to Lei: "Take the guard armored company and go to Laiyang!"

It rains for three days and cloudy for two days, and there are two more days to look at your mood.

This is the Jiaodong Peninsula at the end of August. The rainy season makes wars consume each other. Compared with the quagmire that has already appeared in Europe, the scale of the Far East War quagmire is much smaller, but its intensity is not much worse than that. Two Haidongqing aircraft flying from Weifang, like gulls flying in the sky. The rare good weather makes the pilots rush to the sky and fly to their respective targets. The mission of these two Haidongqing aircraft is to investigate the Laiyang War Zone, which is crucial to reconnaissance.

On the third day after Qingdao started, there was also a intensive explosion in Laiyang. After landing from Longkou, Shirakawa Yoshinobu was hit by a head-on attack here. The 9th Brigade and Guard Division, two infantry corps, two cavalry corps, an artillery corps and a siege heavy artillery brigade, had more than 20,000 people. After driving thousands of captured Chinese men to surround them all the way, they found that the 103rd Division had already built this place into an insurmountable natural barrier.

Hai Dongqing quickly arrived over Laiyang. Since the distance was far away, the pilots could not stay for too long, so they immediately dispersed and investigated the enemy's movements.

Looking down from the sky, Laiyang, located in the center of the Jiaodong Plain, has completely become a fortress. Three wave-shaped infantry trenches surrounded the county town. The periphery of the trench is a circle of dense anti-infantry mines. A 150-heavy artillery battalion in the open space in the central area of ​​the county town faces the sky, and a howitzer battalion on the left and right wings. A 160-heavy mortar battalion that arrived before the fire was fired was also deployed on the front of the county town. In addition to heavy artillery, the pilots can also clearly see infantry artillery and light mortars deployed in various places of the trench. The number of machine guns is even more uncalculable. There are many 127mm poisonous heavy machine guns that have only been equipped with short-term 127mm fangs mainly used for armored vehicles.

When Haidongqing was walking around the county town at a low altitude, countless army comrades below stood up and waved. The excited pilot also deliberately made a turn of Yu Lei, who had just become famous in the world and was imitated by European pilots. Compared with the bulky sparrow, Haidongqing seemed much lighter when doing this action, and rolling back and forth was even more shocking. After playing around, the pilot began to fly northeast, and as his vision gradually passed through the trenches, his face gradually became heavier. He saw a charred patch on the ground. Everyone familiar knew that it was a scar left by heavy artillery bombardment. The charred patch was covered with corpses. There were both Japanese soldiers and their own army comrades, and hundreds of dead war horses.

The plane continued to head north, with dense Japanese positions along the way. When the oil meter was about to arrive at the cordon, the pilot saw the Japanese camp stationed in Kikhanghe Village 20 kilometers east of Laiyang. Although he wanted to use a double heavy machine gun to avenge the army, the oil meter told him that he had not been waiting for a long time, so he immediately took out his camera and took dozens of photos, and recorded the pen that he saw and threw it to his comrades' position on his way back.

Shirakawa Yoshinosa, nicknamed Wild Boar, was wearing military uniform, holding his hands behind him, staring at Haidongqing who was constantly circling until he left.

He hates planes!

With these flies, the Army seemed to have stripped naked and had no secrets. What's even more annoying is that the enemy can see him, but he can't see him because he has no match for the plane.

"Damn it! You must break through Laiyang as soon as possible." The unfavorable news from Qingdao made Shirakawa Yoshino more and more unable to suppress his temper, but he didn't know that Lei Meng's hob meat was rolling up his sleeves and Yang Qiu's personal guard armor company's face turned red.

"Wild boar? Let's see why your grandpa Lei pulled out the wild boar skin and went home to stew it!"

When the hob was grinning and turned the 127mm fang heavy machine gun, one command after another, and radio waves began to spread rapidly on the peninsula. One after another, troops walked out of the trenches and left the camp and rolled towards Laiyang.
