Chapter 1218: The Battle of the Central Plains (1)

The huge airship hovered in the air of Lufu, more than a dozen ropes were lowered, and more than a dozen special combat team members quickly slid down the airship along the ropes, and the first person was Wang Xiaojie.

After he landed, he saw Zhong Dahai and the person in charge of the intelligence station of the Ministry of Intelligence in Xuanfu Town. Wang Xiaojie hurriedly walked over and shook hands with the two, and then said with a smile: "How is the situation?" ”

Zhong Dahai nodded and said, "General, our family has drunk a lot of wine today, and it is estimated that we will wake up tomorrow." ”

"Old Zhong, it's hard work, then please take Master Lu out immediately and send him to Shenyang, Liaodong overnight, and you can arrange for two trustworthy family members to follow you."

Zhong Dahai nodded, and then led people into Lu Xiangsheng's house to carry people out, and then sent people to the airship with a hanging frame, and the airship left here with a roar, and slowly flew towards Liaodong.

"Lao Li, can your intelligence department control the situation in Xuanfu Town now?"

The stationmaster of the Xuanfu Town Intelligence Station said with a smile: "We have won over most of the generals of the Tianxiong Army, and if the operation goes well, we will be able to control Xuanfu Town tonight." Let's go now, and go to the Tianxiong army garrison in the city, where I have sent an intelligence officer in advance. ”

When Wang Xiaojie and the special combat team rushed to the Tianxiong Army's station, the intelligence officers of the Far East Company had basically completed their task, and some rebellious generals led nearly 1,000 Tianxiong officers and soldiers to control other generals of the Tianxiong Army, and quickly launched attacks on various key positions in Xuanfu Town.

More than a dozen special combat personnel led by Wang Xiaojie and more than 100 intelligence officers organized by the Xuanfu intelligence station also participated in the battle to occupy the town of Xuanfu. In addition, an airship of the Air Boat Unit provides air support, directs and guides the ground forces, and provides bombing and strafing support when necessary.

In the past few years, the intelligence officers stationed in the Xuanfu Town Intelligence Station have done a lot of work, and they have already drawn up a plan, and the situation of the government, treasury, military camp and other important targets in Xuanfu Town has been clearly reconnoitred, and there are nearly 1,000 Tianxiong soldiers who are familiar with the environment in the city, so it took almost no effort to control Xuanfu Town before dawn.

At the same time, other special operations teams also took airships deep into the territory of Daming, and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Intelligence, launched surprise attacks on various predetermined targets.

The special combat personnel of the Far Eastern Army possess the capability of special operations of the modern army, and the Ming Army, which has rotted to the roots, basically collapsed at the touch of a button in the face of the Far Eastern special combat personnel who suddenly fell from the sky in the dark night, and all the special combat squads basically completed their tasks before dawn.

The northern coast of Daming was also crowded at this time, and the officers and soldiers of the southern corps gathered in Jeju Island, Lushun and North Korea had already come to the coast of Daming by boat.

Officers and men of the Admiralty's Special Operations Brigade, the Air Force's Special Service Brigade, and the Southern Field Army's Special Operations Brigade also landed in advance by airship and landing craft, and with the cooperation of the Intelligence Department and the support of the Air Boat Force, they launched attacks on various important targets along the Daming coast, and the coastal forts and water villages were also cleared one by one.

The Far Eastern Intelligence Department's intelligence station in the Central Plains also took action in advance. In recent years, through various means, they have successively won over many military leaders from all walks of life in the nine-border military towns of the Ming Dynasty, and the general staff officers and generals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in recent times, not only the generals of the Ming Dynasty, but also many civil officials, eunuchs and gentry have taken the initiative to contact the intelligence stations of the Far East in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to take refuge in the Far East.

More than a dozen base areas in the Far East in the Ming Dynasty also sent their own guerrilla detachments and militia forces to launch attacks in various places, and with the cooperation of the Intelligence Department, they quickly took control of the areas around the base areas.

The entire northern region of Daming became lively overnight. There were no telephones and telegraphs in this era, and it was late at night, and the chaos that had occurred in various places could not be conveyed to the state capitals in time.

At four o'clock in the morning, in the north of the border wall of the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Far Eastern troops had already entered the starting position, and stationed troops at the Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Dushikou, Zhangjiakou, Killing Tiger Mouth, Zhenbian Fort, Rejection Wall Fort, Victory Fort, Shuiquanying Fort, and Laoniuwan Fort of the Ming Border Wall...... Wait for the pass castle to be attacked, at any time.

For a while, the Ming side wall was in flames, and the entire nine sides were completely chaotic. A large number of border troops simply threw away their weapons and fled south with their wives and children, many of whom were run away with their subordinates. Of course, more border troops simply opened the border passes, sent people to contact the Far East, and led the Far Eastern army into the pass.

At the Central Plains Campaign Headquarters in the Hetao Base Area, Li Ming, Song Tao, Lin Hua, and others were standing in front of a huge sand table, and a large number of staff officers in the headquarters were nervously waiting for Li Ming's orders.

Li Ming raised his hand and looked at his watch, then turned to Lin Hua and said in a deep voice, "Let's start......

Following Li Ming's order, a large number of staff officers of the Central Plains Campaign Headquarters rushed to the radio station and issued orders for a general attack to all participating units.

One after another, radio waves were transmitted from the Hetao base area, through wireless communication relay towers in various places, and a large number of communication relay airships in the air, to the various units participating in the battle of the Northern Corps.

At the same time, the commanders of the Eastern Corps and the Southern Corps, Qiang Quansheng and Hao Changfeng, also issued orders to their respective participating units.

A large number of cavalry units of the Far Eastern Army took the lead in the attack, followed by mounted infantry, armed police units, and militia forces, which followed closely behind the main cavalry units to launch an attack on the Central Plains.

Only a few of the border troops in the pass castles on the border wall of the Ming Dynasty still held on, but when a few shells of the Far Eastern Army fell on the side wall, the border troops who had no morale instantly dispersed. More border armies, led by their respective army leaders, defected, took control of the military town and opened the border pass, leading the Far Eastern army into the pass.

On the eve of the war, the governors, generals, and officials of the main battles of the nine military towns of the Ming Dynasty were beheaded by the Far East Intelligence Department and the special operations team, with the cooperation of the rebels, who had defected to them, so that the border towns of the Ming Dynasty became leaderless, and the military towns fell into extreme chaos.

The officers and soldiers of the Northern Corps of the Far Eastern Army almost bloodlessly passed through the various passes and castles, crossed the border walls and entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In particular, the newly built cavalry divisions, which were assault troops, were interspersed with dozens of kilometers in a few hours.

They met almost no resistance along the way, because the speed of the assault was too fast, and a large number of fleeing border troops threw away their weapons in despair, and simply knelt on both sides of the official road and waited for the attack.

Li Ming's order to all the troops participating in the Central Plains Campaign was to deal a fierce blow to the Ming army that dared to resist. However, captives who surrender must not be mistreated or plundered of their personal belongings.
