Chapter 459: Battle of Jincheng I

Bai Chongxi's analysis is very reasonable, but with Chairman Jiang's strategic vision, it is not so quick to understand, just when he hesitates. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Another attendant walked in with a telegram and saluted Chairman Jiang: "Chairman of the Committee, Yan Xishan from Taiyuan is calling. ”

Wang Shihe stepped forward to take the telegram and respectfully delivered it to Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang took the telegram, read it, turned to Bai Chongxi and said, "Jiansheng, it seems that someone in the Jin Suijun coincides with your opinion!" ”

After speaking, he handed the message to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi took the message and read it through, and said, "This must be Yang Aiyuan's plan, can't it?" Pig? Pig? Island? The novel is not the most suitable and correct choice at the moment, please don't hesitate any longer, hurry up and give an order, delay one more minute, and it will be more difficult to recapture Jincheng and Tianjing Pass. ”

With Yan Xishan's urgent telegram, Chairman Jiang immediately made up his mind, nodded, and immediately said to Hu Zongnan: "Shoushan, you go back immediately, the 51st Division and the two divisions of the 17th Army are also under your unified command, immediately launch an attack on Tianjing Pass, and be sure to recapture Tianjing Pass within three days!" ”

"Yes." Hu Zongnan was secretly overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stepped forward to answer the order and left.

After seeing Hu Zongnan leave, Chairman Jiang said with a somewhat depressed expression: "Jiansheng, Zhang Xinghan is so difficult to deal with, how sure are you about the next battle?" ”

Bai Chongxi also said with a solemn face: "Commission, from the heart, if you talk about tactical command and the ability to respond to emergencies, Zhang Xinghan is far above you and me, and he is perfect for the use of modern multi-arm joint operations.

If it weren't for the fact that his identity was well documented, the lowly office would have even thought that he might not be a contemporary of us.

This man has repeatedly taken the opponent by surprise in his operational command, and there are many examples of combat that we have never heard of, let alone experienced firsthand.

I can't imagine that the Northeast Lecture Hall can cultivate such talents, objectively speaking, the country has such talents. The nation has such a hero, very lucky, very lucky.

It's a pity that this person is too ambitious, and the commission and the national government treat him so favorably, and he is already a very popular minister, but he is still not greedy enough, so the current war situation is inevitable.

Unless you are willing to accept his proposal to reorganize the national government and hold a popular vote. ”

"Hmph, no way." Of course, Chairman Chiang would not agree, although the current situation is slightly unfavorable to the Central Army. But he still has hundreds of thousands of elite Central Army under his hands, and he has the support of local warlords such as the Gui family.

"Then we can only do our best and obey the fate of heaven." Bai Chongxi sighed a little helplessly, and suddenly remembered an important matter, and said seriously to Chairman Jiang: "Bench, there is a way to increase the chances of winning. ”

"Oh? If there is any way, Jiansheng will talk about it quickly. Chairman Jiang was interested and said curiously.

"In order to encourage the officers and men of the three armed forces to forge ahead bravely, the chairman of the committee is requested to personally go to Jiyuan County, which is on the front line of Tianjingguan, to sit in town and command the troops to attack. If the officers and men of the three armed services hear that the chairman is here, their morale will certainly be greatly boosted, and the officers and men of the three armed services will be brave and fearless of death with their lives. Going forward and storming Tianjing Pass one after another, maybe it will be broken in ten days. Bai Chongxi said.

Chairman Jiang frowned slightly when he heard this, and looked at Bai Chongxi with some suspicion between his eyebrows, seeing that there was no malice in his eyes. A piece of sincerity, only to slightly relax my heart.

After a pause, he said, "Jiyuan is too far ahead." Security is difficult to guarantee, in my opinion, we should sit in Luoyang and unify the command of the overall operation. ”

An imperceptible trace of disappointment flashed in Bai Chongxi's eyes, and he said in his heart, your old Jiang is still afraid of death, you don't have the courage at all, and you still want to fight with Zhang Xinghan?

But thinking of this, some questions in Bai Chongxi's heart suddenly became clear, no wonder Zhang Xinghan was able to win all battles, and he was invincible.

Good military quality and advanced weaponry are of course important, but the most important thing is Zhang Xinghan himself.

As the commander of the three armies, he has millions of troops, but every time he is ready to fight, whether he is fighting alone, or attacking with heavy troops, whether he is under siege, or going abroad for an expedition, Zhang Xinghan is always fighting on the front line with the army.

Life and death with the soldiers under his command, advance and retreat together, so that the three armies are inspired, and they are invincible.

However, as Chairman Chiang, he had his concerns and deeper considerations.

First of all, he knew that the Gui family and other local powerful warlords were only forced to cooperate with him, and they did not agree with each other, and if they had the opportunity, they would probably fall into the ground, put themselves together, fall into the ground, and replace themselves.

Then there is the terrifying tank assault force and the elusive paratrooper airborne force under Zhang Xinghan.

Although it is said that they want to stick to Tianjing Pass and Jincheng, and Jincheng does not have an airfield, who knows whether Zhang Xinghan will send tank troops to storm Jiyuan County at any cost once he learns that he is on the front line.

In other words, no one knows whether he Zhang Xinghan has a second airborne force.

Therefore, Chairman Chiang, he had to be cautious.

I was afraid that Bai Chongxi and others would sell him at the most critical moment.

………………

In Jincheng, the original Jin Sui Army garrison brigade headquarters.

It has become Zhang Xinghan's temporary headquarters.

Zhang Xinghan left Liu Jianguo to lead a regiment to garrison Tianjing Pass, and he led other troops to enter Jincheng.

In the war room of the headquarters, Zhang Xinghan was listening to Guo Zhong's report on the battle losses and achievements during this time.

Now after removing the troops left behind in Dezhou and other places, as well as the losses in the Battle of Puyang, Zhang Xinghan still has an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment, a baggage regiment, two and a half tank regiments, plus two guard battalions and an airborne brigade.

The total number of troops is about 20,000.

After reporting the battle damage and other matters, Guo Zhong had just sent the documents in his hand, and Zhang Xinghan suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the airdrop of materials for the Air Force?" ”

"Today, the Air Force cumulatively airdropped two tons of gasoline, two tons of food, as well as two bases of ammunition for us." Guo Zhongxing replied rushingly: "Because the south of Jincheng to Tianjing Pass is a safe area, these materials are basically not consumed, and all of them are in our hands." ”

"Well, order the Air Force to continue the airdrop tomorrow, and in the next few days, we may have to hold on to Tianjing Pass for a while, in order to prevent the counterattack of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, we must store as much fuel, food, weapons and ammunition as possible." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction.

"The total seat means. Will the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army counterattack next? Guo Zhong asked curiously when he heard that Zhang Xinghan was going to prepare for a long time.

"Inevitably, we captured Tianjing and Jincheng, just like cutting off the connection and retreat between the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, and the importance of Jincheng and Tianjing Pass is self-evident.

In this way, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army will inevitably counterattack at any cost. Zhang Xinghan said.

"And how long do we have to hold on? We have less than 20,000 men, will there be insufficient troops? Guo Zhong was a little worried about Zhang Xinghan's safety.

"This depends on when Liu Guodong and Huang Xiansheng will be able to break through Yanmen Pass and Jingcheng Pass, as long as they can drive straight into Taiyuan, Yan Xishan will definitely not be able to sit still.

Hundreds of thousands of Jin Sui troops will also be defeated, and then our strategic goal will be achieved. Zhang Xinghan said.

"That's the seat. What do we need to do next? Guo Zhong asked.

"Yes, inform the brethren, stop resting, and immediately go to the valley north of Jincheng to build a field defensive position, and prepare to resist the counterattack of the Jin Sui army.

At the same time, all ministries should also strengthen the fortifications of Jincheng and Tianjingguan, and plan to hold on for a long time, just in case. Zhang Xinghan said. It has been a day and a night since the capture of Jincheng and Tianjing Pass, and the soldiers under him should have almost rested.

The reason why Zhang Xinghan did not let his officers and soldiers seize the time to repair their defensive positions as soon as they captured Tianjing Pass and Jincheng was because the officers and soldiers of all departments were too tired.

Since Cangzhou went south. They have fought thousands of miles, and they have hardly slept well or eaten a full meal, even though they have iron willpower. Even if there are car wheels to travel, they are flesh and blood after all, and they also need to rest.

Fortunately, after a day and a night of carnival rest, the officers and men have recovered their physical strength and spirit. The various suppressed emotions accumulated during this time have also been well vented.

They are the high-spirited and majestic army they were at the beginning, and they have been elite in a hundred battles.

"Yes." Guo Zhong stepped forward to respond. He was ordered to turn and leave.

At the same time that Zhang Xinghan was hurrying to repair the fortifications in Jincheng, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army also began a large-scale mobilization.

A large number of Jin Sui troops marched south from Taiyuan and other places in the starry night, and went to the Changzhi area to assemble, preparing to counterattack Jincheng from the north.

North of the Yellow River, Wang Yaowu's 51st Army of the Central Army, Tang Enbo's 4th Division of the 17th Army, and Guan Linzheng and Du Yuming's 25th Division also moved to Xinxiang and Jiaozuo.

It is worth mentioning that after Xu Tingyao left Tangyin County and returned to the team, Chairman Jiang really ordered Tang Enbo to send someone to escort him to Luoyang to recuperate from his injuries on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries, and then transferred back to Nanjing.

The commander of the 17th Army was temporarily appointed as acting by Tang Enbo.

At the same time that the Battle of Jincheng was about to break out, the offensive of the 1st and 3rd armies of the Northeast Army on Shanxi also entered a white heat.

On the Zhengtai line, Huang Xiansheng benefited from the absolute superiority of his own air force, tanks, and artillery, and the tens of thousands of Shang Zhen's troops had no power to fight back, and they were defeated and retreated.

It has captured Shijiazhuang and other important places on the Zhengtai line three days ago, and now Shang Zhen has received reinforcements from Taiyuan and is holding on to the important places of the Great Wall such as Jingcheng Pass.

Huang Xiansheng oversaw the onslaught of the army, and the two sides fought fiercely, with rivers of blood and extremely heavy casualties.

In the direction of Yanmen Pass, Liu Guodong led his army from the direction of Datong to the south, all the way to the area of Yanmen Pass, where they were met with stubborn resistance from the Jin Sui army.

Moreover, the remnants of Song Zheyuan's 29th Army and Tang Yulin of the Northeast Army repeatedly attacked the transportation and supply lines of the 3rd Group Army, causing Liu Guodong's troops to make slow progress, so the battle situation is still stuck in the Yanmen Pass area.
