Chapter 462: Crisis Comes
In a certain winding secret mountain path leading from Changzhi to Jincheng, about two or three thousand Jin Sui troops were struggling to walk. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A middle-aged officer led by him looked at him coldly, and waved his hand to his subordinates behind him from time to time.
Under his urging and encouragement, the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army, who were physically and mentally exhausted, cheered up one after another and continued to move forward.
A young adjutant next to the middle-aged officer said: "Military seat, according to the map, we still have twenty kilometers to get out of this small road and go straight to the back of Tianjing Pass." ”
"Very good, Brother Xingru is clever, and I learned that the mountain path can directly bypass Jincheng and go straight to Tianjing Pass.
Island > Novel/> Zhang Xinghan attacked Tianjing Pass with airborne troops, and today I Fu Zuoyi also gave them a combination of inside and outside, and when we captured Tianjing, the regiments surrounded Jincheng, and he Zhang Xinghan could not escape even if he inserted wings! "The middle-aged officer is Fu Zuoyi, the commander of the 35th Army.
The Jin Sui Army, like the Central Army, was also full of factions, including Yan Xishan's Wutai, Dingxiang faction, Xu Yongchang's Laoxian faction, and Fu Zuoyi's Jinnan faction.
It turned out that Fu Zuoyi was ordered to garrison the Jinsui border, but since most of Suiyuan was captured by the Northeast Army, Fu Zuoyi and Zhang Xinghan had an arms deal.
In order to block the truth of other generals under his command, it is not ruled out that he was really afraid that Fu Zuoyi would collude with Zhang Xinghan and betray the Jin Sui army, so Yan Xishan replaced Fu Zuoyi with Xu Yongchang to guard Yanmen Pass.
Transferred Fu Zuoyi to the old territory of Jinnan, this time Yang Aiyuan was ordered to organize the army to counterattack Jincheng, and its main composition was Fu Zuoyi's 35th Army.
Yang Aiyuan is good at employing people, and has a high reputation among the generals of the Jin Sui Army, and Fu Zuoyi is no exception, and he is very cooperative with Yang Aiyuan's command.
Only then did Fu Zuoyi lead one of the most elite infantry regiments in his department, starting from Changzhi, under the leadership of the local hunters, over the mountains and mountains, and found this mountain path that Yang Aiyuan accidentally learned.
Plans to surprise the patio pass.
Yang Aiyuan and Fu Zuoyi both knew that as long as they succeeded in the surprise attack on the patio. With the Central Army, then the entire Jincheng will fall into the siege of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army on all sides.
Whether it is Yang Aiyuan or Fu Zuoyi, they all believe that under the siege of hundreds of thousands of Central Army and Jin Sui Army, Zhang Xinghan will definitely not escape.
As long as Zhang Xinghan is killed or captured alive, then the once-powerful Northeast Frontier Army will fall apart in an instant, and it will be a matter of time before it is destroyed.
For the sake of secrecy, Fu Zuoyi did not even inform Hu Zongnan's Central Army of this action before he set off. Instead, he planned to wait until he reached Tianjing Pass, and then send a power to contact the Central Army outside the pass to flank and flank the front and rear when he was about to start.
Fantasizing about the world's fame after conquering Tianjing Pass, and being highly respected, Fu Zuoyi felt that the fatigue all over his body was gone, and he was full of infinite strength.
With the adjutant in stride, he continued to march.
………………
Changzhi, the headquarters of the Jin Sui army's counterattack on Jincheng.
Yang Aiyuan, who was in command as the commander-in-chief, was dressed in military uniform, and at the moment he was carrying one hand on his back, standing in front of the door and looking at the sky in the courtyard.
Sun Chu, a close friend, walked out of it and came to Yang Aiyuan's side. muttered to himself: "I don't know if Fu Yisheng can succeed in one fell swoop this time, if he can really succeed, the powerful Northeast Army will definitely collapse, and the ice will melt." I really don't know what kind of situation will become of the land of China at that time. ”
Yang Aiyuan said lukewarmly: "If Zhang Xinghan can be annihilated in Jincheng this time, the Northeast Frontier Army he formed will be destroyed, and the situation will be dominated by the Central Army." ”
"Nanjing's family is dominant?" Sun Chu was a little reluctant to accept such a result, and said unwillingly: "Wouldn't that be very unfavorable to our Jin Sui army." If that's the case, as a star, brother, you shouldn't have come up with this plan. Trapping Zhang Xinghan in a desperate situation. ”
"Without this method, the Jin Suijun army will be wiped out in a blink of an eye, and the entire national government will be Zhang Xinghan's world, with this method, although the Central Military Council is dominant, but as long as we don't make too many mistakes, it shouldn't be a problem to recapture Suiyuan, and it may even take Chahar and Rehe.
There should be no problem in maintaining the current position of the Jin Sui Army. Yang Aiyuan said.
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved. Sun Chu nodded as if he had realized.
……………………
At Tianjing Pass, the fierce battle between the Northeast Army and the Central Army continued.
Outside the pass, blood flowed and corpses were scattered all over the field, and even the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and some soldiers of the Central Army who were not psychologically good could not help but retch.
Of course, these people must have been reservists who had not been pushed into the line of fire, and the officers and men of the Central Committee who were really used as assault and offensive troops had long been numb.
The young man's eyes were full of anger and hatred, and he hated to rush to the city immediately and kill all the hateful Northeast troops above.
These Northeast Yankees, damn it, are too powerful, too dense, and even the 17th officers and soldiers who fought with the Japanese have never seen such strong firepower.
It's much better than the Japanese.
What made the officers and men of the Central Army hate the most was actually the bombing and strafing of the Northeast Air Force fighters that flew from afar in the air from time to time.
Many times they attacked, but they suffered heavy casualties due to the fierce bombing and strafing of the Northeast Army Air Force, which led to failure.
On the front-line sortie position, Zhang Lingfu stood in the headquarters with a pale, and several adjutants next to him didn't even dare to breathe.
Since the beginning of the attack, the 59th Brigade has basically been the main attacker, and the new reinforcements of the 59th Brigade are almost exhausted.
The casualties of the two main regiments and more than 60 percent.
Suddenly, a herald braved the fierce artillery fire and came to Zhang Lingfu's headquarters along the communication trench.
Still holding a telegram in his hand, seeing Zhang Lingfu who was not moving, the herald opened the telegram and said: "General Zhang, the general headquarters has ordered that in view of the excessive casualties of your unit, Commander-in-Chief Hu ordered that the 59th Brigade immediately withdraw from the battle, withdraw to Jiyuan County to rest and recuperate, and the 25th Division will take over your division and continue the attack." ”
Zhang Lingfu replied without replying: "Got it." 、”
After the herald left, an adjutant stepped forward and asked, "Brigade seat, can we stop the attack?" ”
Zhang Lingfu did not answer immediately, but was silent for a while before turning around and saying indifferently: "Order the troops, stop the attack immediately... Remove! ”
The patio was closed, and seeing that the attacking crowd of the Central Army under the gate was retreating rapidly like a tide again, Liu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the city wall with a sore ass.
Looking at the barrel of the gun, which was already red and smoking, Liu Jianguo took out half a pack of Hademen cigarettes from his jacket pocket and lit one for himself.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the medical staff and stretcher teams in the gate rushed to the city and began to rescue the wounded.
A medical soldier came to Liu Jianguo, and when he saw that it was him, he quickly squatted down and asked with concern: "Sir, are you okay, are you injured?" ”
At this time, Liu Jianguo was covered with blood, which was very scary, but the green smoke that kept spitting out of his mouth still showed that this was a living person.
Liu Jianguo took two more puffs of cigarette, grinned and showed his white teeth, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry, I'm just a little tired, just lie down and rest, you hurry up and save the other injured brothers." ”
The medical staff did not dare to disobey, so they hurriedly responded and got up to leave.
The walls were full of people, and the painful moans and howls of the wounded soldiers were intertwined.
Liu Jianguo was lying behind the battlement wall, looking at those subordinates who were dying, his eyes couldn't help but shed tears, not long ago, they were still a group of young and energetic young men.
However, the perennial military career also made Liu Jianguo accustomed to life and death, and soon he wiped away his tears, threw out the cigarette butts that were about to burn to his mouth, closed his eyes and began to rest, he was very tired, really tired.
Continuous high-intensity battles, even iron-clad men can't stand it.
Many of them, like him, were very tired, and soon there was a deafening snoring on the walls.
Of course, some reserve officers and soldiers also went to the top of the city to serve as guards, responsible for observing the movements of the Central Army that might attack again in front of the pass.
Both Liu Jianguo and the soldiers of the Northeast Army at Tianjing Pass focused their main attention on the Central Army in front of the pass, because behind them was Jincheng, where Commander-in-Chief Zhang, who was similar to the undefeated god of war in their hearts, was in charge.
In their opinion, even if Tianjing Pass is lost, Jincheng cannot be lost, so subconsciously they all think that the rear is safe, absolutely safe.
No one would have thought that danger was looming.
……………………
Like Liu Jianguo, Zhang Xinghan did not know that there was a hidden mountain path that could bypass Jincheng and go directly to the rear of Tianjing Pass.
You must know that the surroundings of Jincheng are all steep Taihang Mountains.
Therefore, although Zhang Xinghan was vigilant and sent a large number of scouts around Jincheng, there were also air force reconnaissance planes in the air that kept circling and reconnoitring.
But he didn't expect that there would be Jin Sui's army in the mountains and forests behind Tianjing Pass, which Zhang Xinghan really didn't expect.
In the evening of the same day, the main force of the Jin Sui army, which set off from Changzhi, finally arrived north of Jincheng one after another.
"General seat, in the past forty kilometers, Jin Suijun's group of boys have walked for nearly five hours, it seems a little unreasonable?" In the headquarters of the Northeast Army in Jincheng, after listening to the scout's report, Guo Zhong questioned.
Zhang Xinghan also felt abnormal, but the reconnaissance units did not find anything abnormal, and the Tianjing Pass was as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock.
Zhang Xinghan could only regard Yang Aiyuan's slow motion as letting the Central Army and the Northeast Army fight first, and the Jin Suijun would make the profit of the fisherman.
………………
Night fell quietly, and in the mountains and forests northwest of Tianjing Pass, Fu Zuoyi and his troops finally walked out of the rugged and winding mountain path.
At this time, he was seizing the time to rest in the dense forest, and taking advantage of the opportunity for his subordinates to rest, Fu Zuoyi called the communication soldier and ordered: "Send a telegram to Hu Zongnan immediately, inform us of our intentions, and ask him to launch troops to attack the city at night, so as to attract the attention of the defenders of Guanshang, cooperate with our actions, and capture the pass in one fell swoop!"
