Just when Yan Xishan and the others were anxious because they couldn't answer He Jian's message, the battle in Xinyang City began.

Because of the important strategic location of Xinyang, it is an important passage connecting Nanjing, Beijing, Zhengzhou, and Nanjing, the Northeast Army, the Northwest Army, and the nest of the Jin Army, so the elite Northeast Army stationed here is Zhang Xueliang's elite Northeast Army - the 57th Group Army, and the army commander Miao Zhengliu is stationed here.

The size of this army is very strong, with five divisions and three brigades, and the number of people is as high as 70,000.

And the attacking side was the Second Army of the Red Army, commander Peng De-Huai.

Although the Second Army had not yet been fully formed, especially the armored units remained in Sichuan because of training and strategic secrecy, the number of people under Peng's command was as high as 20,000.

This was the first major battle in which the 57th Group Army had participated after it fled into Guannai after the 918 Incident, and it was also the first battle of the Second Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army since the formation of the Fourth Sichuan.

For the first time, the Red Army underwent a comprehensive redress, with excellent weapons, high morale, and plenty of food and grass, and the whole army hoped that Tongguò would play a majestic and famous battle. The headquarters of the Red Army hoped that the Second Army would be able to cut off the connection between Nanjing and Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hebei through this battle, and that Yan Xishan, Zhang Xueliang, and others would become trees without roots and water, so that they would be left without a master and completely undermined their confidence. Let them thoroughly understand that the army they rely on is not reliable, and they should obediently hand over the army and honestly go to Hong Kong or foreign countries to be their apartments.

Of course, the leaders of the Red Army did not expect that Tong Guò would make Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang surrender in this battle. I only hope to leave a very deep impression on them, and at the same time give other small power warlords a great deterrent.

In order to ensure that these battles are won cleanly. The central side not only let General Peng's Second Army serve as the main force of the offensive, but also agreed that Guo Zhuocheng, who was actively inviting the battle, would personally lead part of the infantry and artillery of the Third Army as a reserve to act as a blocking force at any time and cut off the connection between the 57th Group Army and other units.

Guo Zhuocheng led his troops to Yichang overnight by warship, and then caught up with Peng's Second Army (for the same reason, his troops were infantry and artillery).

Because the development of the shape shì greatly exceeded the expectations of the leaders of the Red Army, especially the complete annihilation of the Hunan Hunan Army, they unanimously agreed that as long as they could destroy the armies entrenched in the vicinity of Nanjing. The process of reunifying the whole country will be greatly accelerated, and perhaps it will be true that as Guo Zhuocheng said, it will only take a few months to establish a new China.

Therefore, Mao Rundong, Zhou Luolai, and Zhu De agreed to Guo Zhuocheng's invitation to fight after some careful consideration: Guo Zhuocheng can not only command his Third Army when he goes to the front, but more importantly, he can supply weapons, ammunition, and military supplies to all units engaged in fierce battles at any time according to changes in the situation on the battlefield, which can greatly speed up the process of war.

Everyone knows that war is all about logistics. When Guo Zhuocheng arrives at the front line, he will know where supplies are urgently needed, and he will be able to greatly meet the needs of the battlefield and ensure victory in the battle.

Although Xinyang's strategic position is important, Xinyang in this era was still a small town, which could not accommodate tens of thousands of troops at all, and the military commander Miao Zhengliu was stationed in this small city. And the five divisions under his command were scattered around Xinyang, and only one brigade was qualified to be stationed in the city as the guard force of the group army headquarters.

Another brigade of the group army was stationed in the town of Gan'an, northwest of Xinyang, which was the key point from Xinyang to Zhengzhou.

One of the combat missions of the troops led by Guo Shucheng was to seize the town of Gan'an, defend it like a nail, and use the Huai River south of the town to completely cut off the retreat of the defenders of Xinyang. It also blocked the reinforcements of the Northeast Army from Zhengzhou, etc.

The special combat team led by Song Jun was responsible for this advance mission.

For the special combat team, Guo Zhuocheng divided it into three parts. The first part is the international special combat team, which fights against European and American countries, and the members of the team must not only be proficient in English and German, but also be proficient in maps of European and American countries, and understand the customs and habits of European and American countries. These team members are now being led by Sun Xingguo and are undergoing closed training in a secret place, and the selected special combat personnel are not necessarily tough soldiers, but they are very demanding in terms of culture, and they are all young men and women with language talents selected from various units, universities, and even middle schools, and they are now eating European and American food, wearing European and American clothes, and speaking European and American languages (for the time being, only English and German are being trained).

They trained not only military skills, not only language skills, but also knowledge in the fields of mechanics, chemistry, physics, history, etc., Sun Xingguo required them to learn the knowledge of junior high school graduates in that time and space in 1993, and once integrated into European and American countries, they were almost "experts".

Fake experts, of course, but enough to cope with the inquiries of ordinary people, and even a simple exchange with real experts.

And he also targeted training for some of them in music, painting, and even cooking, flower arrangement, and agriculture. Strive or force them to become a well-rounded talent, so that they can approach European and American countries without letting the locals feel that they are left behind.

The second part of the special forces is the East Asian special forces team, which mainly fights against Japan and the Soviet Union, and they study Russian and Japanese. Comparatively speaking, this part of the population has lower requirements and spends more time training combat skills. As Guo Chengcheng predicted, there are now many people who are studying Russian and Japanese, and many of the selected people can speak Russian and Japanese themselves. This part of the people was led by the Song army.

The third part of the special combat team is the domestic special combat personnel, who do not emphasize any language talent, but have high military literacy and combat skills, and they are very suitable for conducting special operations in the country. It's not that they can't go abroad for special operations, as long as they are equipped with the right interpreters, they can be invincible abroad. They were guided by Sun Xingguo, Song Jun, Liu Xiangyang and others in turn, and Guo Zhuocheng also joined in from time to time. Although they did not stipulate their own leaders like the other parts of the special combat team, they did not lack excellent commanders and excellent lesson plans, but their combat skills improved faster than the other two parts of the special forces.

Now participating in the battle in Gan'an Town are the domestic special combat team members and a small number of East Asian special combat team members, and the commander is the Song army. The reason why special combat team members from East Asian countries are sent is to increase the actual combat experience of these team members, and the battlefield is the place where combat skills are most cultivated.

They are now lurking on the outskirts of Gan'an Town, time is passing minute by minute, the night is getting darker and darker, seeing that there is only more than one minute left before the Northeast Army changes its guard, the sound of various "insects" of the Song Army knows that the detachments have been in place, so they gently let out the cry of partridges.

The two groups of special operators guarding outside the town immediately took out the grenade from their waists and unscrewed the waterproof cover.

Waiting for the Song army to cry again, the soldiers slammed down the fuse and waited a few seconds before throwing it towards the front position. With a loud and violent explosion, a terrible cry immediately rang out from the opposite position, and the special combat team immediately rushed in with the smoke of gunpowder like a lion, and a team of three people continuously used submachine guns to shoot at the soldiers of the Northeast Army who had just been awakened by the grenade explosion.

The Northeast Army, which was preparing to withdraw from its position and was preparing to carry out the handover of its position, was stupid, and most of them were killed and wounded at once, and they almost lost their combat effectiveness before the special combat team could charge.

They really don't know how the enemy lurks under their noses, they really don't know when the enemy came, how did they get to the distance of dropping bombs? Our patrols haven't stopped, huh? Did they come out of the ground?

The battle has begun, and no one answers their questions.

With the explosion of grenades and the strafing sound of submachine guns, Gan'an Town exploded, and the Northeast Army suddenly came to its senses, and a group of soldiers who came to change their guard quickly rushed towards the place of battle.

It has to be said that the Northeast Army is well-trained, the troops are neatly paced, the slogans are loud, and the guns in their hands are not fired indiscriminately, they are all shooting at the targets they identify according to the orders of the commanders.

However, what they didn't expect was that the Song Army's special combat team had already infiltrated it, and what they had just thrown grenades and strafed with submachine guns was just a feint force, the purpose of which was to transfer the troops in the town out, and the Northeast Army did not have any special operations concept at all, and they still charged in strict accordance with the requirements of the infantry drill and dealt with the enemy's sneak attack in strict accordance with the requirements of the infantry drill code.

In terms of the reason for their advance, the special combat members of the Song army had set traps and established crossfire, and the snipers had already aimed at the commanders in the team.

After the troops who rushed out left the town for a certain distance, an electronically controlled mine quietly planted in the middle of the road suddenly exploded, and the powerful blast wave of air lifted the dirt high, and the huge air wave also washed the troops of the Northeast Army that had just approached to pieces, and countless shrapnel harvested the lives of several unlucky soldiers at once, and a miserable scream sounded from the ranks.

While they were confused, the special operators lurking everywhere took the opportunity to occupy some points that could not be occupied in quiet times, or where their whereabouts could be easily revealed.

Soon, countless children shot out of these places, and the light and heavy machine qì began to roar happily.

"Ah——, the Red Army is here!"

"We are surrounded!"

"Get out of here! Ahh

……

The first company to rush out was cleaned up by the special operations team before it could get close to the outlying position, and except for a few clever guys who crawled back into the town with rolling belts, the rest of the soldiers became corpses.
