Chapter 132: The Northern Defense Line
Two hundred kilometers north from Xijing City is the Yellow River, which is known as the mother river of the Chinese nationality.
As for why this clear river is called the Yellow River, it is said that at a certain time in the history of the Chinese people, due to soil erosion, the river contained a large amount of sediment, so that the river took on an earthy yellow color.
On the rolling Yellow River, a bridge flies north and south.
This all-steel iron bridge has the upper layer of the Jingnan Expressway from Beijing to Nanhai, and the lower layer is the Jingxi Railway from Beijing to Xijing.
Since the invasion of the Ni people, due to the erosion of the war situation in the Central Plains, the southern theater and the Central Plains theater with the Yellow River as the boundary have built multiple defense lines around the Yellow River, of which the two main defense lines are the Yellow River defense line south of the Yellow River and the northern defense line located in the Zhongtiao Mountains north of the Yellow River.
At present, the south of the northern defense line is still under the control of the southern theater, and the vast land of the Central Plains after leaving the Zhongtiao Mountains has almost all fallen into the hands of the Ni people, and only in the Taihang Mountains west of the Central Plains, there are still 200,000 troops in the Central Plains theater.
Most of the Ni people in Central Plains Province are concentrated in the northern defense line, after all, after all, after the northern defense line, is the railway bridge over the Yellow River.
Because here, for us, is a major artery connecting the north and the south.
For the Ni people, under the dual pressure of the Yellow River and the well-defended Yellow River defense line, this is the only way to enter Qinxi Province.
I stood on the bank of the Yellow River, watching the rolling river go eastward, silent for a long time.
Tiffany said behind me, "This month, it's time to go." ”
I turned to look at the convoy behind me and asked Zhuo Zhuo, "Where are the monks and little oranges?"
Zhuo Zhuo said: "It should have entered the Nakajo Mountains. ”
I boarded the bus and said, "Inform Gong Xue that the material train can depart." ”
By the time we reached the northern defensive line, the battle was already heating up.
From time to time, shells crossed the line and landed on the hillsides on either side of the bus.
Dong Changhao hurriedly ran over, saluted me and said, "Commissioner Xu, the Ni people have very strong combat effectiveness, and the pioneer regiment has not rushed down after three times. ”
The attacking forces were blocked at the exit from the Nakajo Mountains, which had only a small marker on the map, known locally as "Hulukou".
Hulukou is a small valley with an average of about 10 meters higher than the intake. The slopes on both sides have a slope of about 60 degrees, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The air force and artillery had plowed the exit more than ten times, so much so that there was about a metre of floating earth on the entire hillside.
However, relying on the terrain and numerical superiority, the Ni people managed to hold the three charges of the vanguard regiment.
Dong Changhao said: "Why don't you send someone over to inform the special brigade?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "There are still a million Ni people in the back, and it is not cost-effective to move the special brigade now." ”
Turning around, I asked, "Which unit is ahead?"
Dong Changhao said: "It's the 188th Division. ”
I said, "Oh, Lin Fengcheng's troops?"
Dong Changhao said: "The division commander is Lin Fengcheng. ”
I took two steps, turned around and said, "Tell Lin Fengcheng that for one hour, I will only give him one hour, and if I can't capture the valley pass, I will come down and let my escort team get up." ”
After Dong Changhao left, Zhuo Zhuo walked up to me and said, "Master, isn't an hour a bit short?" ”
I smiled and said, "Let's try to see if this top division in the Southern Theater is as tough as the legend says." ”
Turning around, I said to Zhu, "Tell the escort team to get ready." Let's go ahead and have a look. ”
Ascending the hill, I took the telescope handed over by Excellence and looked at the position ahead.
I saw that in the rumbling cannon, smoke rose from the position of the Ni people, and the floating earth on the ground flew up.
Before the sound of the cannon stopped, I saw a large red flag rising from the trench at the mouth of the valley, followed by a group of soldiers wearing steel helmets and camouflage uniforms, rushing forward with bayonets.
Almost stepping on the bombing point, the warriors rushed up the slope, but the position of the Ni suddenly came to life, and more than a hundred tongues of fire erupted towards the attacking troops.
The losses of the attacking troops, who lay down at the first time, were not large, but the momentum of the offensive was contained.
The troops were pinned down on and down the hillside, barely able to lift their heads.
I put down my glasses and was about to speak, when I heard the whistling of cannonballs.
Hurriedly raised the telescope again and looked forward, only to see that the cannonballs hit the position of the Ni people, the smoke was filled, and the vitality of the Ni people suddenly weakened.
The red flag was waved again, and the warriors rushed to the position at the same time as the bombs, and engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the Ni.
I put down my glasses and said angrily, "What kind of battle is this Lin Fengcheng fighting? Let the soldiers go to the cannonballs?"
Zhu, who was holding the binoculars, laughed and said, "Your Highness, this Lin Fengcheng is really a ghost, he is shooting empty bombs and smoke bombs. ”
I hurriedly raised my binoculars to take a look, and sure enough, there was no shrapnel flying on the position, except for a large amount of smoke.
The Ni people also seemed to react, and the Ni troops that were originally hidden in the woods began to continuously converge on the Taniguchi position.
But by this time the attacking warriors had taken the upper hand, and had set up heavy weapons, and were constantly bombarding the valley, and the follow-up troops, who were also constantly climbing the slope, jumped into the trenches of the Ni, and began to shoot.
I put down my binoculars, smiled, and said to Excellence, "There's still a way." ”
Several ground attack planes whizzed over our heads, and soon the characteristic explosion of cluster bombs rang out outside the valley mouth. The flames rose into the air, and even from a kilometer away, we felt as if we were feeling the heat wave.
When I arrived at the valley, Lin Fengcheng, who was full of swarf, saluted me and said, "Commissioner Xu, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”
Dong Changhao and I looked at each other and smiled, and Dong Changhao asked, "Why didn't you think of this method at first?"
Lin Fengcheng said: "This is also a matter of no way, the nun's goblin, we used this method for the first impact, but the follow-up troops were a little slower, and they were beaten back by the troops rushed up by the nun." The second and third times were useless, the Niren relaxed their vigilance, and the fourth time they used it again, the Niren were really fooled. ”
I nodded and said, "You are not tired of cheating, you are doing a good job." ”
Dong Changhao said: "Do a good job of summarizing the battle, I will ask for credit for you." ”
Lin Fengcheng said happily: "Yes." ”
After leaving the valley, Lin Fengcheng led his troops and immediately headed east.
Dong Changhao held my hand and said, "Commissioner Xu, take care." I have informed the troops of the Central Theater that they have left the Taihang Mountains and are advancing towards the railway line, and it is expected that they will be able to fully occupy the railway line today. ”
I shook Dong Changhao's hand tightly and said, "The more ferocious you attack, the less pressure there will be on the railway line. Occupy Wusheng Pass, hold it to the death, the Ni people in Central Plains Province, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Dong Changhao said with a smile: "Help me bring a good one to No. 1, just say that I didn't embarrass him." ”
I smiled, pulled him over and hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "I will, brother, your father will be proud of you." ”
Yes, Dong Changhao is the son of the one in the capital, it's a secret. This is also the first piece of information sent to me by Li Minhong's intelligence network.
As for why he didn't disclose this secret, I didn't inquire, because the leader has his own ideas of leadership, and I am not a person who is very curious about other people's family affairs.
Dong Changhao looked at me in amazement, then smiled and said, "Cherish." ”
I smiled and said, "Cherish." ”
A few hours later, Zhuo Zhuo, who went to meet the left-behind troops in the Central Plains Theater, came back, and with him came a staff officer named Zhenyun from the left-behind troops in the Central Plains Theater.
I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly when I saw that the camouflage uniform on his body had rotted into pieces, his eyes were red, and his hair and beard looked like a soldier growing together.
The remaining troops were all driven into the Taihang Mountain, which can be imagined the cruelty and hardship of the battle, and the Taihang Mountain, even before the war, was an underdeveloped area, and their supplies must be difficult to obtain.
After returning Zhenyun's salute, I didn't ask about the situation of the troops in Taihang Mountain, I just said: "How is the situation of the troops?
Zhenyun said: "Commissioner Xu, we have 200,000 people, all of whom are demobilized soldiers and reserve forces, and another 100,000 militiamen and migrant workers. Now that they have occupied the railway line, the Nepalese have demolished a large part of the railway, and we are currently rushing to repair it. ”
At this time, Zhuo Zhuo said: "Your Highness, almost all of the one million Ni people outside the valley have pursued Commander Dong and them. In addition, half of the Ni people along the railway, about 500,000 people, also went east. Coupled with the Ni people in the east of Central Plains Province, Commander Dong is under a lot of pressure. ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "What do the Central Plains Theater troops on the border between the Central Plains and Hebei say?"
Zhu said: "A telegram from the Southern Theater said that the troops in the Central Plains Station Area had divided 100,000 troops to the south and attacked and advanced in the direction of Wusheng Pass, hoping to relieve the pressure on Commander Dong. ”
I nodded and said, "As planned, we'll leave in an hour." ”
Just as he was about to turn around and get into the car, he heard Tiffany on the roof of the car shout, "Little orange." ”
I turned around sharply to see that sure enough, it was the little orange stepping on the fairy sword and flying towards me in a hurry.
Jumping off the fairy sword, Xiao Chengzi said eagerly: "Master, the great monk was surrounded by thousands of winged nuns, and he threw me out and told me to come and report the news. Go quickly, I'm afraid that if I go late, the great monk will be finished. ”
I grabbed him and said, "Thousands of winged nuns?"
Little Orange said: "Yes, yes, I didn't lie, you see, my clothes were broken when the big monk threw me out." ”
I didn't look at his clothes, and said to Zhu, "Assemble and go immediately." ”
Zhu's off-road vehicle drove to full speed, and I stood in the car, eagerly looking ahead.
Carelessly, the high-end combat power of the Ni people has never appeared, so it was waiting for me.
It is no wonder that when I arrived in Qinxi Province, Qiu Chunan must have informed the Ni people at the first time.
And to catch me is to grasp the lifeblood of the Immortal God Realm.
The Ni people should be well aware of this.
However, I am completely different now than I was two years ago, do you know the news?
Thinking of this, I sneered in my heart.
After crossing a large forest, an open plain appeared before our eyes.
Yes, from here to the north, thousands of miles of fertile land, is the Central Plains that has been competing with heroes since ancient times.
On the edge of a small village, I saw through the telescope a large group of Ni people cooking in pots, and sure enough, they all had wings, most of them were four-winged and six-winged Ni, and there were very few two-winged Ni.
Tiffany looked ahead and said worriedly, "Monk shouldn't ......?"
I let out my fairy power, but I couldn't detect the situation in the small village.
My immortal power detection range is about three kilometers, and within this range, there is a high probability that I can detect the monk's talisman in a small village two kilometers away, and bounce back.
Now, however, nothing can be detected.
I smiled and said to Tiffany, "There are two possibilities, the first is that the monk is not guarded, and may be reciting the death mantra with the leader of the nuns. The second possibility is that the monk is cool. ”
When the little orange on the side heard this, he was stunned at first, and then sat on the ground and cried. While crying, he said: "I don't know if the master is a good person, he threw me out desperately, and stopped the nun, otherwise I would have become a dish of the nun." I wish these dead men and nuns to choke to death after eating the relics of the master. My monk brother, you died so miserably......"
Qi Ming, who had just arrived from the rear, heard the cry, hurriedly climbed to the roof of the car, and when he saw the little orange like this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I don't know what's wrong with the master?"
I kicked him angrily and funny, and said, "I said that maybe, the monk Dawei Tianlong protects the body, and it is likely that he is reciting the mantra of the death to the nun." ”
When the little orange heard this, he got up and said, "Master, really?"
I said, "Do you dare to go in with me and see how the monks chant Buddha?"
The little orange was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Dare, what don't you dare?"
I smiled and exclaimed, "Tiffany." ”
Tiffany was already at the Wings of Fantasy and said with a smile, "Let's go." ”
I said to Qi Ming: "You stay here, Zhuo Zhuo and Little Orange follow me, the three of us master and apprentice will fight thousands of Ni people today." ”
The speed of the Fantasy Wings was fast, and ten minutes later, we were already above the village.
Dozens of Hexapnees spotted us at the first time, but they only took off to form an encirclement in the air and did not attack us.
I smiled, pointed to the little square below and said to Tiffany, "That's it, go down." ”
In the small square, the monk's big bald head appeared in my field of vision a few minutes ago.
After getting off the wings of fantasy, I walked up to the monk with a smile, and unceremoniously picked up the teacup in front of him and drank the tea.
Then he spit all the tea leaves on the ground with a "phew", and said while spitting: "Monk, what are you drinking?"
Ignoring the monk's surprised eyes, I turned my head to the nun sitting opposite me and said, "Are you in for a treat?
The nun on the opposite side smiled slightly and said, "His Royal Highness the Heavenly King Wuzhong, please take a seat, the mountain village is ugly, please forgive me." ”
I smiled, turned my head to the stunned Tiffany and said, "Tiffany take the two of them back, the boss of this place is too picky, and the treats are all third-level flower tea, nothing fun." ”
The seated nunes smiled and nodded to the nits around them, and Tiffany rode on the wings of fantasy and took the two of them into the air.
The nun on the opposite side smiled: "Your Highness has good eyesight. ”
I smiled and said, "You can obviously put away your wings, but you have to take them out to show off, aren't you afraid that I don't know that there is an eight-winged one among the Ni people?"
