readx;?“ What do you think? Bai Chongxi saw that Zhang Lingfu's analysis was very reasonable, and turned to ask Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's opinions, although he was here to supervise the battle, he held Shang Fang's sword. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it is still very important to have a good relationship with the two powerful generals, after all, at the moment of the war, the disagreement between the generals and commanders is not conducive to the development of the war.

Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming also felt that Zhang Lingfu was right, as for the problem of the minefield, even if it was filled with human lives, it had to be swept away, otherwise what would those soldiers under him do?

Eating food and fighting wars is a matter of course.

Bloodshed and sacrifice are even more commonplace, as long as they can attack Jincheng, annihilate the defenders under Zhang Xinghan, and capture or kill Zhang Xinghan alive "pig" pig "island", no matter how much sacrifice is paid, it is worth it.

At that moment, the division commander Guan Linzheng said: "Brother Lingfu, this method is good, we completely agree to do it, Chief Bai, do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?" ”

It can be seen that Guan Linzheng is also well versed in the way of dealing with people.

Bai Chongxi's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded happily and said, "I have nothing to add, Master Guan, please give an order." ”

"That's good, Guangting, the attack at night is still under your personal command, and the specific matters will be arranged by you," Guan Linzheng said to Du Yuming.

"Yes." Du Yuming stepped forward and turned to take the order.

………………

Both times the central army in the south of the city ended in defeat and suffered heavy losses.

The performance of the Jin Sui army in the north of the city was even more unbearable, and the first attack encountered a minefield, and the flesh and blood of the bombing were blurred, and the casualties were heavy.

For the second attack, it was hit by intensive machine-gun and artillery fire from a tank unit of the Northeast Frontier Army and the defenders outside the west gate.

Hundreds of corpses ended in a gloomy and dismal end, ending the first day of the official assault.

Towards evening, the former enemy headquarters of the Jin Sui army.

After Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, who had just arrived, learned that their troops were performing so badly, they were angry and summoned the brigade commander of the Jin Sui Army who was in charge of the attack.

This will be angrily reprimanded.

"A group of rice buckets, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. Without even touching a single hair, you lost nearly a thousand people in vain, are all the guys in your hands burning sticks?

It's all stupid pig command! Yang Aiyuan scolded loudly with a black face.

The brigade commander of the Jin Sui Army who was trained was silent, did not say a word, lowered his head, and was full of shame.

Seeing this, Sun Chu on the side came out to play a round and said: "Brother Xingru, you can extinguish the fire, it's not all Brigade Commander Wu's fault, I heard that the Central Army in the south also suffered a big loss in today's attack, and the Northeast Army is too strong to blame." ”

"Brigadier Wu. Don't take it too seriously, Jincheng is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of three Jin soldiers, Commander Yang shoulders the heavy trust of Mr. Yan, he is anxious, and his tone is heavy, you have to be more considerate. ”

"Don't dare to be humble, the defeat during the day is indeed an improper command of the lowly position, please ask Chief Sun and Commander Yang to punish him." See Sun Chu playing a round for himself. Descending the steps, how dare the brigade commander surnamed Wu hold it up, and hurriedly respectfully admit his mistake.

Yang Aiyuan was also deliberately stricter, so as not to fear the death and injury of the front-line soldiers. If you don't do your best, it also means killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

But seeing that Brigade Commander Wu's attitude was quite respectful and honest, he sighed, so he said: "I still know that you are wrong." Give you a chance to make meritorious service for your crimes, and your position will be reduced to the position of regiment commander and acting brigade commander. If there is no real progress tomorrow, we will be held accountable! ”

"Yes, thank you Commander Yang for not killing." Brigade Commander Wu stood up respectfully and saluted, then turned around and left.

After witnessing the departure of the brigade commander surnamed Wu, Sun Chu saw Yang Aiyuan's intentions, and was afraid that Yang Aiyuan would have another killing intent, so he persuaded: "Brother Xingru, it is a taboo for soldiers to kill generals in battle, and we can take other measures to deter generals." ”

"I don't know, it's just that if this Jincheng doesn't go down for a day, we won't be able to return north to support Yanmen Pass and Jingcheng Pass, and time is too precious for us.

The Central Army can afford to wait, but we can't afford to delay, otherwise, once the time passes, the Northeast Army breaks through and enters Taiyuan, and the troops are in Taiyuan, everything will be too late! Yang Aiyuan said helplessly.

"I understand your feelings, but if you want to hurry, you should be patient." Sun Chu said: "But then again, the combat power of the Northeast Army is indeed too strong, this is only a partial division of less than 20,000 people, I just can't believe how amazing the combat power of the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Yanmen Pass is." ”

Suddenly, a communications adjutant came over with a telegram in his hand, stood up and saluted the two: "Sir, General Fu Zuoyi is calling from the south. ”

Although Fu Zuoyi's sneak attack on Jingcheng Pass was successful, the losses of his subordinates were very large, and Jincheng was blockaded by the Northeast Army, given that his less than 1,000 men returned to the north, it did not have much effect on the war situation.

After Yang Aiyuan discussed with Sun Chu, he asked Fu Zuoyi to lead his troops to continue to be stationed at Tianjing Pass to make plans for the future.

However, the Central Army obviously also took a long-term view, and seized the southern wall of Tianjing Pass and most of the barracks in the pass, and the remnants of Fu Zuoyi could only be used as a foothold by the city wall.

At the moment, the goals of both sides are Jincheng and Zhang Xinghan, and they have no intention of clashing.

But one thing can be predicted, once Jincheng is captured, the Jin Sui army and the central army will have a battle at Tianjing Pass.

Because for Jin Suijun, Tianjing Pass is too important.

However, this is only if, if the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army want to break through Jincheng, the difficulty is by no means less than that of ascending to the sky, and as for capturing Zhang Xinghan alive, it is even more impossible.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that even if Jincheng can't be held because of the heavy casualties of the defenders, Zhang Xinghan can fight his way out of the encirclement and escape into Taihang Mountain under the cover of the guard battalion and the airborne brigade.

The two ace elite special forces under his command, which are ranked at the top of the world, are not blown out.

"What did Fu Zuoyi say in the message?" Yang Aiyuan didn't think much about it and asked.

General Fu Zuoyi called and said that there was news from the Central Army that attacking during the day would be vulnerable to the air force and artillery fire of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Therefore, the attacking forces should choose to attack at night, so as to offset the opponent's air and artillery superiority to the greatest extent.

We will be able to give full play to the advantage of our large number of troops. The communications soldier replied truthfully.

Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"That's right, the attack during the day is really not that the soldiers of my Jin Sui Army are not brave enough, but the firepower of the Northeast Army under Zhang Xinghan is too strong.

This kind of strength is enough to make up for the disparity in numbers between the two sides. Sun Chu couldn't help but slap the table and praise.

Yang Aiyuan immediately ordered: "Immediately dispatch elite troops to prepare for a night attack, this time we will make the Northeast Army look good and find the field during the day!" ”

………………

After repelling the two attacks of the Central Army, Zhang Xinghan returned to the city, and learned that the attack of the Jin Sui Army was also thwarted, so he returned directly to his headquarters in the city.

Guo Zhong, commander of the guard battalion, and Wang Longxiang, captain of the airborne brigade, also returned.

Standing beside Zhang Xinghan on the left and right, seeing Zhang Xinghan's frowns, Wang Longxiang couldn't help but ask: "Boss, it looks like you're anxious?" Didn't we play well in the afternoon? If the combat strength of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army has been above this level, we can hold on to Jincheng for more than a month. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan came back from his contemplation, turned his head and said, "In the afternoon, the brothers fought very well and gave full play to our firepower advantage, but we can't be careless for a moment.

The strength of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army was ten times that of mine, and the losses in the afternoon were nothing to them at all, far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

My concern is that they suffer during the day and will certainly not rest at night.

After nightfall, our air force could not take off to participate in the battle, and the artillery was blinded, and this was the moment when the enemy and the enemy really competed. ”

After listening to Zhang Xinghan's words, Guo Zhong and Wang Longxiang couldn't help but nod in agreement.

They had just been clearly confused by the easy win in the afternoon, and had little awareness of the crisis at hand.

Guo Zhong frowned and said, "Boss, do we have any good way to prevent it?" ”

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "If we fight at night, we can only ask all troops to be vigilant and strictly defend to the death, and I don't have any good way to do anything else." ”

In fact, Zhang Xinghan already had a brilliant plan in his heart, if this plan was adopted, then the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army that came to attack at night tonight would definitely suffer heavy losses.

In the next few days, you can also be afraid and powerless to attack again.

However, Zhang Xinghan was unwilling, and it could be said that he couldn't bear to use it.

Because this plan was nothing else, it was to use poison gas bombs, and the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army would definitely not have expected it, if before they attacked, all the defenders were asked to wear gas masks and suddenly release poison gas bombs, they would definitely be able to kill them by surprise.

None of the units of the Central Army nor the Jin Sui Army are now equipped with poison gas bombs, because they are not the veteran units of the Anti-Japanese War that fought against the Japanese in history.

There is still a lack of sufficient awareness of prevention against poison gas bombs, so as long as Zhang Xinghan uses poison gas bombs, then not only can he severely damage the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army that may attack tonight.

It will also make them afraid to attack again for a short time because they are afraid of gas bombs.

However, as a Chinese soldier, the ultimate goal of launching the Southern Expedition War from Zhang Xinghan was to unite the forces of the whole country and the whole nation as soon as possible, unanimously declare war on Japan, and achieve a strategic blockade against Japan to prevent its resurgence.

If it wasn't for the last resort, Zhang Xinghan didn't want to confront the Jin Suijun and the Central Sabre, who were also sons and daughters of China.

Not to mention the use of gas bombs, an inhumane weapon of mass destruction.

Against the Japanese and other foreign invaders, Zhang Xinghan could use these poison gas bombs on a large scale without blinking an eye and without scrutiny.

But for his compatriots, Zhang Xinghan is really ruthless, and he can't cross the threshold on his conscience. (To be continued......)
