Chapter 464: Rushing to the aid of Tianjing Pass
In order to cooperate with Fu Zuoyi and the Central Army to seize Tianjing Pass, Yang Aiyuan also ordered his front-line troops in Changzhi, and when Fu Zuoyi launched a surprise attack on Tianjing Pass, he launched an attack on the field defense position of the Northeast Army in the north of Jincheng City.

Therefore, when Liu Jianguo's 100,000 urgent telegrams were sent to Jincheng, Zhang Xinghan was still supervising the battle in the north of the city.
When the communications soldiers rushed to the position in the north of the city on a three-wheeled motorcycle and found Zhang Xinghan, nearly half an hour had passed.
"What's wrong? What happened? Zhang Xinghan saw that the person who came looked flustered, out of breath, and asked urgently.
"Total, Chief, the big thing is not good, a Jin [pig] [pig] [island] novel Sui army suddenly appeared behind Tianjing Pass, General Liu Jianguo was leading his troops to resist the frontal attack of the Central Army, and was caught off guard and was attacked by the Jin Sui army.
Now that the defenders of Tianjingguan have fallen into a dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy, General Liu called to ask if Jincheng was safe and whether the general seat was safe. The signal soldier said with a little shortness of breath.
"What?" Zhang Xinghan was stunned on the spot as if he was electrocuted, as if the hustle and bustle of the battlefield in front of him had been cut off.
"How is this possible? It is impossible for the Jin Sui Army to have airborne troops, so how did they climb over the vast expanse and the danger? Zhang Xinghan was puzzled, but quickly thought: "The path, there must be a mountain path that we don't know, yes, it must be like this." No wonder, Yang Aiyuan has not moved on the frontal battlefield for a long time, so it is, so it is! ”
"Soza, what are we going to do now? Is it to rush to the Tianjing Pass immediately? Guo Zhong next to him came back to his senses from shock and said.
Zhang Xinghan didn't think too much about it, and immediately said sharply: "Zhongzi, immediately gather the guard battalion, add another tank battalion, and immediately rush with me to help Tianjing Pass, no matter what, we must rescue Jianguo." ”
"Yes." Guo Zhong didn't dare to delay, and immediately stepped forward to respond. He immediately turned around and took the order.
Guo Zhong left, Zhang Xinghan looked up at the starry night sky, and secretly said in his heart, Jianguo, you must hold on, Tianjing Pass can be lost, we still have Jincheng, you must not have anything to do.
Zhang Xinghan still has a deep affection for Liu Jianguo, he was the first time he was still the battalion commander in Peking University. Just follow yourself.
Earlier, he was the deputy platoon commander and the battalion commander, he was the deputy battalion commander, until the Battle of Shenyang, the Battle of Tongliao, the Battle of Changchun, and countless battles of all sizes came side by side with him.
Although he can be called his absolute confidant. The veteran, but only served as the deputy commander of a group army, but he did not have any complaints, and he was loyal to Zhang Xinghan.
Zhang Xinghan talked to him in private. Liu Jianguo said that as long as he can follow Zhang Xinghan, he will have no regrets even if he is a small soldier.
With such a subordinate who is so loyal to himself and almost equivalent to his own brother, how can Zhang Xinghan sit back and ignore him while he is in danger?
Not to mention. Zhang Xinghan also thought that if the situation allowed, maybe he could recapture Tianjing Pass. If he takes 10,000 steps back, even if Tianjing Pass is lost, he can still retreat to Jincheng.
Of course, with Zhang Xinghan's eyes, it is impossible not to see what kind of predicament Jincheng will fall into if Tianjing Pass is lost.
It's just that he can't care so much about it now, and it is important to rescue Liu Jianguo.
Soon, the troops were assembled, and Zhang Xinghan jumped on a side three-wheeled motorcycle and rushed towards Tianjing Pass with reinforcements.
In Tianjing Pass, the fierce battle between the two sides has entered a very tragic point, under the onslaught of the absolute strength superiority of the Jin Sui army, the two reserve companies and guard platoon around Liu Jianguo suffered great losses, and they were forced to retreat to the first pass wall to hold on.
Nearly 2,000 people were trapped in the south wall and city gate building of Tianjing Pass, and the situation had reached a critical moment.
However, after withdrawing to the wall, the firepower of the defenders also increased greatly, relying on the wall to occupy a condescending position, occupying the advantage of the terrain.
However, in fact, they have already fallen into a desperate situation, once the ammunition is exhausted, or the casualties are too heavy, both the Jin Sui army and the central army may attack and destroy them all.
The battlefield was full of fire, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, and explosions intertwined to play a magnificent death war song.
A large number of veterans of the First Division of the Reorganized Division who followed Zhang Xinghan to death and some middle- and grass-roots officers who came out of the Longxing Military Academy played a great role at this moment.
The infinite loyalty and worship of Zhang Xinghan inspired them to lead their subordinates to fight bloodily, and became the only driving force and belief for them to support.
With their leadership, the morale of the vast number of soldiers who were in a desperate situation was greatly consolidated, and there was no situation that caused the situation to collapse in an instant.
Liu Jianguo held a submachine gun in his hand, and kept firing fiercely at the Jin Sui army that was swarming under the pass, as were the soldiers around him.
The bombardiers threw each grenade as fast as they could, and it landed in the crowd of Jin Sui soldiers and exploded, killing and wounding one another.
A communications soldier ran over quickly from the city gate building, came to Liu Jianguo, and saluted: "Commander, Jincheng has called back." ”
"How?" Liu Jianguo asked eagerly.
"Jincheng has not been lost, the head seat is safe and sound, and the head seat also said in the telegram that the sneak attack of the Jin Sui army must have bypassed the mountain path that we don't know.
Let's not panic, stick to the help, the head office has personally led the reinforcements to arrive, and they will arrive soon! "Signal Soldier said.
Hearing that Jincheng and Zhang Xinghan were safe and sound, Liu Jianguo felt a big stone in his heart, and he was so relieved that he was full of pride in his heart and immediately shouted at the top of his throat: "Brothers, hold on, the general seat has personally led the reinforcements to arrive, and they will arrive in a moment, take out our strength to kill the little devils, and let these Shanxi turtles see the power of our Northeast Army!" ”
Liu Jianguo's shout was full of strength, and the loud voice almost overshadowed the noisy battlefield, and most of the officers and soldiers heard it clearly, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was immediately greatly boosted, and the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly relieved.
All kinds of weapons opened fire in unison, and the casualties of the Jin Sui army and the central army attacking from both sides in the front and rear increased greatly.
Outside the pass, on the position of the 25th Division, Guan Linzheng, the commander of the 25th Division, and Du Yuming, the deputy commander of the 25th Division, were supervising the battle in the rear.
Seeing that the morale of the Northeast Army on the wall had increased in vain and the firepower had increased, Du Yuming couldn't help but sigh: "This Northeast Army is really extraordinary, and it is particularly valuable that it can still maintain such combat strength when it is caught in the desperate situation of our army's attack on both sides!" ”
"Yes, this is a real elite division, even if they are under siege, even if their lives are hanging by a thread, they are still fighting with all their might, fighting with the enemy until the last moment, it is very admirable!" Guan Linzheng couldn't help but nod in praise.
"The most important thing we need to guard against now is that after Zhang Xinghan learns that Tianjing Pass is in danger, he may send reinforcements to reinforce it, and we should remind Fu Zuoyi to pay more attention to it." Du Yuming said.
"Didn't you say that Yang Aiyuan would storm Jincheng after Fu Zuoyi's attack began to contain Zhang Xinghan? How many troops can he use to rescue Tianjing Pass? Guan Linzheng was a little unimpressed.
"Everything is in case, it's better to be careful, after all, Tianjing Pass is too important, Zhang Xinghan is likely to rush to reinforcements at any cost, and I am very skeptical about the combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui army, they really have the ability to completely contain Zhang Xinghan's main force?" Mr. Du voiced his concerns.
"Okay, I'll immediately ask someone to send a message to Fu Yisheng and remind him to prepare for precautions." Guan Lin Zhengdao.
"As long as we can block Zhang Xinghan's possible reinforcements, then the fall of Tianjing Pass is only a matter of time." Du Yuming's meaningful lookout was blazing, boiling over the patio gate.
In the pass, Fu Zuoyi was furious at the failure of repeatedly attacking the wall, and at the same time secretly scolded the central army outside the city for deliberately not attacking the city with all its might, which led to his repeated failures.
A communications soldier ran over with the marching radio on his back and saluted Fu Zuoyi: "Military seat, the 25th Division of the Central Army on the opposite side is calling." ”
"What advice do they have?" Fu Zuoyi said a little impatiently.
"The 25th Division reminded us to strengthen the defense of the lower northern wall, in case the Northeast Army in Jincheng might come to reinforce it.
In the telegram, they also said that we only need to use a part of our forces to contain and attack the defenders on the wall, and the main force is best used to hold the wall in the north, as long as the reinforcements of the Northeast Army cannot enter the pass, then it is only a matter of time before the Tianjing Pass is lost. "Signal Soldier said.
Although Fu Zuoyi felt that the reminders and suggestions of the 25th Division were very correct, the prejudice in his bones made him snort with some disdain: "Send a telegram to the enemy's 25th Division, how our Jin Sui Army will fight, don't worry about them, just ask them not to attack with all their conscience." ”
The communication soldiers were a little stunned, but seeing that Fu Zuoyi had no intention of changing his mind, he had to take the order and leave.
Although he didn't like the Central Army's over-the-top reminders, Fu Zuoyi still called a battalion commander after the signal soldiers left: "Take your people and give me the north wall immediately, before the south wall is captured, not a single mouse can be put in for me, you can bury more mines or mines at the city gate to guard against the tanks of the Northeast Army." ”
Although Fu Zuoyi did not deal with the Central Army, he was still sober-minded, but he did not think that Zhang Xinghan could still divide his troops to rescue Tianjing Pass, which was already in a completely desperate situation.
The battalion commander of the Jin Sui Army who was ordered to hold the northern wall was obviously the same as Fu Zuoyi, and he didn't think that the Northeast Army could still come at this time.
After leading the troops to the north side of the wall, they only sent some soldiers to lay mines outside the city gate in accordance with the order, neither urging nor supervising.
So he went up to the city wall and looked south at a sea of fire and a battlefield where guns were roaring, and he was annoyed that he could not lead his troops to the battle.
It didn't take long for a shrill rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the north wall, and the battalion commander of the Jin Sui Army turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked around blankly: "What sound?" (To be continued......)
