Nanpi County, Northeast Frontier Army Headquarters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Xinghan had already slept in a bedroom next to the headquarters, where Liu Jianguo and several adjutants were taking turns on duty.

Suddenly, a sharp knock on the door woke Zhang Xinghan from his sleep, and the instinct of the special forces prompted Zhang Xinghan to reach out and touch the gun he had placed next to the bed before he opened his eyes.

Touching the gun in his hand, Zhang Xinghan asked coldly: "Who?" ”

"The general seat, it's me, the founding of the country." Outside the door, Liu Jianguo's voice was a little anxious.

"The founding of the country." Zhang Xing's "Pig Island" novel Han put away the gun, put on leather shoes and a coat, opened the door, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”

Liu Jianguo didn't care about saluting, and said: "Boss, I just received a call from Guo Zhong, something happened in Dongguang County." ”

"What's wrong? Didn't win? Zhang Xinghan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, it was taken, but there is a tunnel in the city that leads directly to the outside of the city, and some of the defenders fled along the tunnel, Guo Zhong has now led his troops to chase after him, but our whereabouts may have been exposed." Liu Jianguo said.

"It's not possible, it's definitely exposed, it's a big night, once someone escapes, it's tantamount to a fool's dream to intercept everything without leaking." Zhang Xinghan fell into deep thought.

Liu Jianguo said: "Then what should we do now?" ”

After pondering for a while, Zhang Xinghan immediately decided: "We have to change the original battle plan, immediately send a telegram to Guo Zhong, and ask him to stop doing useless pursuits, and immediately go south to bypass Wuqiao Town, raid Dezhou, and do everything to take Texas for me."

In addition, the regiments were ordered to quickly assemble and set off. ”

"Yes." Liu Jianguo snapped forward and responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

Soon, an infantry division and a tank division stationed in the city of Nanpi, totaling about 40,000 troops, were quickly dispatched.

Because the infantry division was also mechanized, all on military trucks and motorcycles, the march was very fast, and it only took half an hour to reach the county seat of Dongguang, 30 miles away.

Zhang Xinghan did not divide his troops into Dongguang County. Directly led the troops to bypass and went straight to Texas.

At the same time, Guo Zhong also received Zhang Xinghan's order, stopped the pursuit of the remnants of Zhou Chuan, turned around and rushed towards Texas.

Fortunately, Zhou Chuan's battalion-level troops were not equipped with radio stations, and they were all on foot, coupled with the haste of retreat, the night march was lost and fled to the northwest.

This direction is getting farther and farther away from Hengshui, Dezhou and even Wuqiao and Jingxian.

In this way, Nanpi. For a while, the news that Dongguang County was attacked by the Northeast Frontier Army was impossible to know about the Central Army in Hengshui and the Shandong Army in Dezhou.

The distance in Texas is no more than fifty kilometers, and for a fully mechanized marching guard battalion, it is not a problem at all.

After receiving Zhang Xinghan's order at about half past one o'clock in the evening, Guo Zhong's troops only took more than two hours to bypass Wuqiao and quietly enter the north of Dezhou City.

At this time, it was not yet four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was not completely bright, with Zhang Xinghan's order to take Texas at all costs.

Guo Zhong did not pause at all, after arranging his own vehicle. Immediately led his troops to attack Texas City.

Located north of the lower reaches of the Yellow River, Dezhou is the northern gate of Shandong Province, where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal runs through the city and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway.

The strategic location speaks for itself. Han Fuqu deployed two security regiments here (Note: During Han Fuqu's administration, the security regiment was the regular army of the Shandong Army, because Chairman Chiang did not give too many regular numbers. Therefore, many of the troops that Han has expanded privately are called security regiments, and many security regiments are even the main elite troops built by Han Fuqu at the expense of a lot of money, and their combat effectiveness is not bad in the general national army. More than 4,000 people in total. Not only were there telephones in the city, but the defenders were also equipped with radio stations.

In addition, there is also a regiment stationed in Binzhou and Liaocheng, which echoes Texas from afar and forms a horn with each other.

Knowing that his troops were not superior, Guo Zhong did not divide his troops to surround the four cities this time, but deployed all the more than 20 grenadiers and mortars carried by his troops outside the north gate, aiming at the north gate and starting to shell.

Since it was not wartime, the garrison of Texas was also very lax, and the defenders did not know that there was an enemy attack, and there were very few sentry posts on the city towers, let alone building defensive positions outside the city.

In addition, it was night, and under the cover of night, Guo Zhong's artillery was able to quietly set up mortars very close to the city gate.

As a second lieutenant quietly waved his hand, more than 20 60mm and 50mm mortar grenadiers suddenly opened fire.

Tom tom ...... The dull sound of cannon discharges rang out one after another, and scarlet flames whistled out from the muzzle of the cannon, drawing dazzling arcs in the low air, smashing towards the city gate.

"Boom...... Boom ......" A series of violent explosions occurred at the city gate, and the dazzling red light almost climbed up the city gate building.

The sudden explosion shocked the entire ancient city of Texas, and the two Shandong Army soldiers who happened to patrol the vicinity of the city wall were so frightened that they hurriedly lay down and shouted bitterly: "Oh no, there is an enemy, the enemy is attacking!! ”

The ensuing explosion drowned out the shouts of the two, and after the second round of violent explosions, the thick and solid city gate was blown to pieces.

Thousands of officers and soldiers from the Northeast armed with submachine guns swarmed up like a tide under the cover of their own grenadiers and general-purpose machine guns.

"Rush, kill!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and the MP38 submachine guns in the hands of the dozen or so guards at the front roared one after another.

The dense rain of bullets knocked to the ground more than a dozen Shandong Army soldiers who had hurried to reinforce in the city.

Before the main force of the Shandong Army in the city could react, the Northeast Army had already rushed into the city like a wolf and a tiger, and quickly attacked the center of the city along the streets.

For the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion similar to the all-round special forces, this kind of street fighting, close combat, is their forte, all like a fish in water, plus the MP38 submachine gun in the hand is a sharp weapon in street fighting, so although the troops are not dominant, but the Shandong army, which is several times larger than mine, is defeated and retreated, and there is no power to fight back.

The fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Shandong army in the city lost half of Thailand, and the remaining Shandong army fled from the south gate in a hurry, but before they could escape far, they found that the road ahead was blocked by a large number of steel chariots.

In the face of the torrent of rolling iron armor and the black muzzles of large-caliber artillery, the Shandong army that escaped from the city was desperate, threw away their weapons one after another, and surrendered on their knees.

Zhang Xinghan arrived in time with his troops and basically annihilated the Shandong army in Dezhou City, but before the city was broken, a regimental commander of the Shandong Army had already sent the news to Han Fuqu, who was far away in Jinan, through a radio station.

After entering the city, Zhang Xinghan sent two infantry regiments to attack Binzhou and Liaocheng respectively.

"General seat, the Air Force has taken off, and it will be able to rush to Binzhou and Liaocheng respectively to participate in the war in an hour at the latest." In the temporary headquarters in Dezhou City, Liu Jianguo reported to Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and continued to focus on the combat map.

"General seat, according to intelligence, Hengshui also has a division of the Central Army, and I am worried that if our main force advances westward, they will attack Texas to cut off the rear route of our army." Liu Jianguo pointed to the map and said worriedly.

Zhang Xinghan was not worried that the back road would be cut off, and the killing value accumulated by his multi-functional watch was enough for the amount of troops in his hand to fight for three and five years.

Therefore, he said: "Our strategic target this time is Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army, the Central Army and the Shandong Army are not important, as for the back road being cut off, there is no need to worry about this, the materials we carry are enough to consume in this battle, not to mention that we still have the air force to carry out airdrops." ”

Liu Jianguo nodded heartlessly: "Then the general seat, when will we leave?" ”

"Tonight." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Tonight? Wouldn't that be a delay of more than ten hours? Didn't you say that the faster the better? Liu Jianguo asked puzzled.

"That's true, but have you thought about the founding of the country, if we march westward in broad daylight, then our strategic intentions are likely to be Yan Laoxi, once he mobilizes heavy troops to Jinnan and joins forces with the Central Army to resist the attack of our partial division in Jinnan, then it will be much more difficult for us to complete the strategic encirclement of the Jinsui army.

Now that the news of the capture of Dezhou by our army should have reached Han Fuqu's ears, it will not be long before Chairman Chiang and Yan Laoxi will know that we will not move for the time being, and I will send two more regiments to capture Binzhou and Liaocheng respectively, which will easily create a false impression to the outside world, that is, we are likely to cross the river and attack Jinan.

This will not only make Han Fuqu jealous and dare not transfer troops north, but also paralyze the attention of Chairman Jiang's Central Army and Yan Lao's Western Jin Sui Army.

At this time, it was time for the alarm bell and Liu Guodong to attack, Yan Laoxi was forced by the pressure from the north to draw troops from Jinzhong and Jinnan to the north to resist the frontal attack of our army, and there was no time to take care of it.

And tonight we will take advantage of the night to march, all the way around, straight to Puyang, Xinxiang, and finally to Jincheng, completely blocking the way for the Jin Sui army to flee south. ”

"Oh, I understand, I'm wise." Liu Jianguo said abruptly.

……………………

Shandong, Jinan.

Han Fuqu's provincial chairman's mansion, old Han just got up, is exercising in the courtyard, Han Fuqu this person had followed Feng Yuxiang in his early years, and then relied on Jin Suijun, and then now he has taken refuge in Jiang Guangtou, the official to the chairman of Shandong Province, for many years has been constantly rejecting Jiang Guangtou's cronies in Shandong, and gradually grasped the military and political power in Shandong.

Suddenly, an adjutant hurriedly ran in from outside in a panic, and when he saw Han Fuqu, he said, "Chairman, the chairman is not good!" ”

"What's going on? So flustered. Han Fuqu asked puzzled.

"Zhang Xinghan's Northeast Frontier Army suddenly launched an attack on our army, and in just two days, Nanpi, Dongguang, and Dezhou were also captured last night, and the defenders of the two regiments either died or surrendered, and the situation was critical!" The adjutant said with an anxious face. (To be continued......)
