Due to the special geographical location of Jincheng, it is not like other ordinary small county towns, with low walls and disrepair. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because this is the southern gate of Shanxi and the gateway of the Three Jin Dynasty, Yan Xishan not only stationed a force of two regiments here, but also repaired and heightened the city wall of Jincheng County every year.

So far, the walls of Jincheng have reached as high as five zhang (about 17 meters high), which can basically reach the height of three or four story buildings.

With the terrain around Jincheng, coupled with the tall and majestic city wall, it is a steep place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, as mentioned earlier, there is a patio pass in front of Jincheng, which is more dangerous than Jincheng: pig: pig: island: novel 3w. The majestic pass of Jun, it is precisely with this steep pass, so the defenders of the Jin Sui army stationed in Jincheng, although they are guarding the fortress of Jiancheng, but their vigilance is extremely poor.

This is also the reason why there has been no war in southern Jinnan for several years, and the defenders not only did not build field defensive positions outside the city, but also did not even send a guard patrol sentry.

It is no wonder that with the psychology of the defenders of the Jin Sui army, anyone who wants to attack Jincheng from the Central Plains must first pass through the Tianjing Pass, and in addition, the Taihang Tianbao on both sides can't even fly a bird. If the patio closed the police, they had plenty of time to prepare, so they relaxed their vigilance.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the night sky is dotted with stars, and the half-round crescent moon sprinkles the soft moonlight on the earth, making the dark night sky slightly clear.

In the night, Wang Longxiang led more than 1,000 elite soldiers of the airborne brigade to quietly approach Jincheng from the mountain path under the cover of night.

During the period of seclusion in the mountains and forests, Wang Longxiang personally brought some elite soldiers to reconnoiter the defense of Jincheng.

Coupled with the information that should be provided by the agents of the Secret Bureau, I have some understanding of Jincheng's troops, deployment, and patrol strength.

Because he did not have an advantage in troops, and the purpose of this trip was to seize the strategic place of Jincheng, not to annihilate the enemy, Wang Longxiang formulated a battle plan to concentrate his forces to break through from the south gate.

Sneak over the moat dug by the defenders and reach the area near the wall.

"Captain. I'll take someone first, and you postpone. A lieutenant colonel, the deputy captain, straightened the steel helmet above his head.

Wang Longxiang thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, be careful." ”

The lieutenant colonel's deputy captain nodded immediately, then waved his hand, and led more than 100 heavily armed airborne troops to the base of the city wall under the cover of night.

"Whoosh...... "Whoosh" There was a muffled sound of bow and crossbow strings, and more than a dozen thick hemp ropes flew up to the city under the leadership of the iron claw flying hook.

"Bang bang bang bang...... "Iron claw hooks hung on the battlement wall without incident.

The airborne soldier who fired the hook pulled hard to make sure that the hook was really hooked, and immediately began to climb up with his hands and feet as fast as a flying ape.

This skill of climbing the city wall is a basic skill that every paratrooper must have. The requirements for physical strength and arm strength are extremely high.

This is also the benefit of the strict requirements of the paratroopers in a thousand, and all the selected paratroopers must far exceed ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, physical strength, and arm strength.

After Zhang Xinghan's all-out balanced nutritional supply and modern high-intensity physical training, the paratroopers have created a miracle of outstanding skills.

However, the city walls of Jincheng are indeed a little too tall, and the city walls are not as high as cliffs, and some protruding depressions can be used by paratroopers to step on, and the walls are all made of blue bricks and ash asphalt. The whole is smooth and there are no gaps to borrow, so this height is almost the limit of what paratroopers can bear.

About ten minutes, the first batch of twelve paratroopers. Among them was the lieutenant colonel, the lieutenant captain, who finally made it to the top of the city before he was about to run out of energy.

The twelve nights were as swift as a cheetah, quickly spreading along the waist of the female wall cat, and the MP38 submachine gun in her hand was fully opened. The expression is vigilant and vigilant.

The paratroopers below continued to climb.

"It's too slow, Demolition Team. Prepare to blow up the city gates. Wang Longxiang looked at the time and said a little anxiously: "Add more explosives and strive for success in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes." About four or five paratroopers carrying large bags of explosives and detonators responded with a bang, and rushed towards the city gate with swiftness like a leopard.

More than a dozen packets of high explosives and detonators were piled up on the south gate of Jincheng.

The city gate is the kind of old iron and wood gate, and most of the corpses inside the whole are inside, but the outside is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and the four corners are inlaid with steel plates, in order to prevent the wooden door from rotting and rotting after a long time of wind and rain.

The high explosive pack, which had the equivalent of a heavy aerial bomb, exploded violently as one of the Demomen pressed the detonator in his hand.

The explosion was so violent that the paratroopers present felt as if the ground was shaking under their feet.

The blazing flame rose to the ground accompanied by thick smoke, engulfing a large area including the city gate tower.

The huge shock wave destroyed the old city gate in an instant, and in the firelight, the fragments of the city gate that shattered into countless large and small pieces shot out in all directions.

Seeing this, the lieutenant colonel and deputy captain at the head of the city immediately led the first batch of more than ten subordinates who climbed up to the head of the city to rush towards the city gate building.

Although the fire was unexpected, the defenders inside the city gate tower did not suffer any substantial damage.

This will be choked by the thick smoke of gunpowder and rushed out in a panic.

"Da Da Da ......" Lieutenant Colonel, deputy captain, and several subordinates fired at the same time as the submachine guns in their hands.

The defenders in the confusion were immediately shot and fell to the ground, and when they got closer, several paratroopers threw several grenades with all their might.

"Boom, boom, boom......" The city gate building was suddenly engulfed by fire and smoke again, this explosion was different from the explosion of the city gate just now, and the shrapnel that shot in all directions directly caused devastating damage to the defenders who had not had time to run out of the city gate building.

At the same time, Wang Longxiang, who was outside the city, waited for the fire at the city gate to fade, and with a wave of his big hand, he led the main force of the airborne brigade into the city like a tide.

……………………

"What sound? What's going on? In a compound next to the Jincheng County Government, a middle-aged officer with a fat head and big ears ran out of a bedroom in disheveled clothes, howling wolf.

This is the brigade headquarters of the Jincheng Garrison Brigade, and the voice is from Zhao Mingxiang, the commander of the garrison brigade.

Although the time was just seven o'clock in the evening, people in this period, especially in a small border city like Jincheng, did not have a so-called nightlife.

Therefore, Zhao Mingxiang, the commander of the garrison brigade, like the majority of soldiers and the people of Jincheng, after eating dinner as soon as it was dark, he hurriedly hugged Xinna's concubine and got into the bed.

In his opinion, this garrison is really a chore, and the only pleasure is to make a big show on the mother-in-law kang at night, galloping back and forth.

However, Zhao Mingxiang had just entered the concubine's body and was about to do a big job, but he was frightened by the sudden violent explosion and instantly collapsed.

The sound of dense gunfire explosions and shouts of killing that followed made the commander of the garrison brigade, who may have been frightened and wilted, hurriedly run out of the bedroom.

Several guards and adjutant officers were also awakened and ran out into the courtyard.

Seeing the frenzied brigade commander, one of the adjutant hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brigade seat, it seems that this gunshot is coming from the south gate." ”

"South Gate? Send someone to see what happened at the South Gate? Zhao Mingxiang commanded.

"Yes." The adjutant hurriedly bowed his head in response.

In a short time, the people sent by the adjutant rushed back and forth.

He was accompanied by an officer with a panicked look and a black and gray face.

Zhao Mingxiang recognized the person, it was a subordinate on duty at the South Gate, and immediately asked: "Kong Er was stunned, why do you look like this, what happened?" ”

The major officer surnamed Kong suddenly cried with an aggrieved face: "Brigade seat, it's not good, there is a night attack by the Northeast Army, and this will already be attacked." ”

"What?" Zhao Mingxiang was shocked when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "What's the matter? How is this possible? How did the Northeast Army pass through Tianjing Pass? Could it be that they flew in? ”

"I can't tell you what I wanted, they quietly climbed up to the top of the city, and blew open the city gate, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and they couldn't resist it at all, and the south gate had been captured by them." The lieutenant colonel surnamed Kong said in a panic.

"Kill, rush......!" Suddenly, there was a shout of killing.

Zhao Mingxiang's heart trembled when he heard this, and an adjutant hurriedly said: "Brigade seat, what should we do, don't you retreat quickly while the Northeast Army has not yet been killed?" ”

"Retreat?" Zhao Mingxiang was a little moved, but after thinking about it, he said: "No, no, Jincheng is the barrier of the Three Jins, and the strategic location is extremely important, if it is lost from my hands, Chairman Yan will definitely not spare me." ”

"But, Brigade seat, the enemy situation is unknown at the moment, and it may be a dead end to hold on, so it's better to take the brothers to withdraw first, and then talk about it, it's a big deal that we go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and it's just as happy!" An adjutant said eagerly.

Zhao Mingxiang fell into contemplation when he heard this, obviously moved by the adjutant's words, he was used to enjoying glory and wealth, the blood of a soldier had already been consumed on the belly of his mother-in-law, and now he has become a person who is completely greedy for life and afraid of death.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Mingxiang gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Kong Er was stunned, bring the remaining brothers and withdraw for me!" ”

"Yes."

……………………

At the same time as Wang Longxiang attacked Jincheng at night, the offensive and defensive battle of Puyang also came to an end temporarily.

Outside the city were the bodies of soldiers on both sides, rivers of blood flowing, and a disgusting smell of blood filled the air.

Craters, bullet casings, mutilated weapons and the wreckage of some tanks and combat vehicles all highlight the fierce and bloody battles that have just taken place here.

"General, the Central Army has retreated into the city on all fronts, and it seems that it is planning to fight with us in the streets." Liu Jianguo, who was covered in blood, came to Zhang Xinghan with a slightly tired expression, and just now he personally led his troops to start a tragic white-knuckle battle with the Central Army.

"Street fighting?" Zhang Xinghan was in a heavy mood, the tenacity of the defenders was beyond his imagination, and he knew that once he entered the street battle, the advantages of his air force, artillery and tanks would be gone.

So he turned his head and asked Guo Zhongdao: "Zhongzi, is there any news in the direction of Jincheng?" (To be continued......)
