readx;?“ This is indeed a hidden danger, the Jin Sui Army in Shanxi is contained by our 3rd Group Army, forgive him Yan Laoxi does not dare to act rashly, but the Central Army in the Central Plains region is really likely to join forces with Han Fuqu and others to start a decisive battle with our army north of the Yellow River! Zhang Xinghan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Boss, in my humble opinion, it is more prudent for us to attack Shanxi, at most it will take some time." Huang Xiansheng said: "With Yan Laoxi's character, even if he forms an alliance with the Central Army and the Shandong Army, he will not let them enter the boundary of Shanxi until the most difficult point, so that our army only needs to deal with the Jin Sui Army, and the pressure is much less."

When the situation is so critical that it can no longer be done, Yan Xishan wants to invite reinforcements to enter Jin, I am afraid it will be too late. ”

&**Pig**Pig**Island**Novel; "Your method is more secure, but if the Jin Sui army loses in the battle, they can completely withdraw to Henan, at most they will force Yan Xishan away." Zhang Xinghan said: "Once hundreds of thousands of Jin Sui troops withdraw into Henan and join forces with the Central Army in the Central Plains, then Chairman Chiang's strength in the Central Plains will be greatly strengthened.

Such an outcome would most likely lead to the failure of our attempt to force the Nanjing Nationalist Government to agree to the reshuffle.

At the same time, it will also make it more difficult for us to advance into the Central Plains, and will eventually make it possible for the whole country to truly achieve unification, concentrate forces on the outside world, and postpone indefinitely the ultimate strategic goal of declaring war on Japan. ”

"What do you mean?" Huang Xiansheng asked.

"In this case, I will immediately send a telegram to Liu Guodong and Shen Ke's 3rd Army, ordering them to send troops at the same time to cooperate with our attack on Shanxi.

Brother Alarm Bell, I will leave you two infantry divisions, you set off from Baoding, Liu Guodong from Datong to the south, and your two armies will storm Jingcheng Pass and Yanmen Pass respectively.

With your attack, the main attention of the Shandong army and the Jin Sui army will definitely be drawn to the Shanxi battle situation. Jianguo and I led an infantry division plus a tank armored division from Cangzhou to Dezhou, and after capturing Liaocheng and Binzhou in one fell swoop, we quickly moved westward and captured Puyang before the Shandong army could react. Xinxiang and other places.

Of course, there is another important point, after our army captured Liaocheng Binzhou, it needed the cooperation of the air force to block the Yellow River Bridge to prevent the Shandong Army south of the Yellow River from going north. Zhang Xinghan thought about it for a while and decided.

"You have to lead your troops in person?" Although this is not the first time Zhang Xinghan has led the team, Huang Xiansheng is still a little surprised.

"It is of great significance to go south to Shandong this time, whether we can successfully complete the strategic encirclement of the Jin Sui army in Shanxi. It has a direct bearing on whether or not our military's ultimate strategic goal can be achieved.

So I had to lead the team myself. Zhang Xinghan said.

Knowing that Zhang Xinghan had made up his mind, Huang Xiansheng no longer persuaded him, and instructed: "Then the general seat should be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Xinghan turned his head to Liu Jianguo and ordered: "Jianguo, you lead the team to the rear, and I will wait for you in Cangzhou first." ”

"Yes." Liu Jianguo stepped forward to respond.

……………………

In Cangzhou, Zhang Xinghan, escorted by the guard battalion led by Guo Zhong, secretly arrived in Cangzhou by train the next day.

Because Cangzhou at this time was located on the edge of the Northeast Frontier Army's sphere of influence, it could be regarded as a "border", so the 1st Group Army stationed a reinforced regiment here. The strength of the army is about 4,000 people.

Cangzhou is located in the east of Hebei Province, north of Tianjin, south of Shandong, more than 110 kilometers south of Dezhou.

Where is the territory of Shandong Hanfuqu. According to the information from the agents of the Shen Xingye Secret Bureau, the Shandong Army stationed two regiments in Dezhou plus some local security teams, with a total strength of about 3,000 troops.

From Cangzhou to Texas in the south, you need to pass through Nanpi on the way. Dongguang, Jingxian and other county seats, most of these counties are occupied by the central army or local security regiments.

In Hengshui, about 70 kilometers west of Texas, a division of the Central Army was stationed. More than 11,000 troops.

With the information provided by the Secret Bureau, Zhang Xinghan had a very comprehensive understanding of the enemy situation in Hebei.

In his opinion, it is not difficult to capture Texas, but it is rare how to capture it quietly so that the news is not known to the Central Army in Hengshui.

In the lounge prepared for him by the Cangzhou defenders, Zhang Xinghan was contemplating the map silently, and Guo Zhong's voice came from behind him: "Boss, let's have dinner first." ”

Zhang Xinghan turned around and saw Guo Zhong walking in with food.

"Eat, eat." Seeing that the dinner was good, with wine and meat, Zhang Xinghan couldn't help but move his index finger, turned around and walked to the dining table and sat down and asked, "Have you eaten, if you haven't eaten, sit down and eat together, and drink with me." ”

"Okay." Guo Zhong sat down happily, stood up and poured a full cup for Zhang Xinghan first, and said with a smile: "Boss, try it, this is the authentic Shanxi Xinghua Village specially prepared for you by the head of the Cangzhou Garrison Regiment." ”

"Really?" Zhang Xinghan took a sip of the wine glass and praised it tastefully: "Yes, the fragrance is pure, the sweetness is long, it is really a good wine!" After saying that, he threw his head up and drank it all.

Putting down the wine glass, Guo Zhong hurriedly poured him another glass, Zhang Xinghan reached out and tore off a roasted fat overflowing, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and feasted on it.

"Zhongzi, come, drink!" Zhang Xinghan picked up the wine glass in his mouth and said vaguely, living off the style of a green forest hero.

Born in the army, he naturally does not have the twisting of literati and scholars, and has always liked to eat meat in a big mouthful, and he has to eat comfortably when he eats and drinks.

Guo Zhong was also infected by Zhang Xinghan, and gradually let go of his prudence and humility, and let go of his superiors and subordinates with Zhang Xinghan, and had a hearty meal and drink.

……………………

Two days later, Liu Jianguo led an infantry division and a tank armored division to secretly arrive in Cangzhou.

Zhang Xinghan did not hesitate and immediately ordered the troops to advance to Texas.

However, before the departure of the large army, Zhang Xinghan had already sent Guo Zhong with his guard battalion to quietly leave Cangzhou at night and go to Nanpi County, the closest county town to Cangzhou.

The Guard Battalion and the Paratrooper Brigade, as well as the secret service of the Secret Service, are the three most elite units of the Northeast Frontier Army.

The guard battalion was formed the earliest, and its combat power was better than the latter two.

Those who can enter the guard battalion are not only iron-blooded veterans who are absolutely loyal to Zhang Xinghan, but also the requirements of all aspects of the conditions are more stringent than the selection of special forces.

Not only is he proficient in the use of various light and heavy weapons, but his skills are also first-class.

It is no exaggeration to say that the more than 700 officers and men of the guard battalion, below the battalion commander level, have a comprehensive personal quality that is no less than that of any country's elite special forces.

Nanpi is only sixty or seventy miles away from Cangzhou, Guo Zhong took the guard battalion to set off in the evening, because there are cars and side three-wheeled motorcycles to travel, the guard battalion only took less than two hours to secretly rush to the northern suburbs of Nanpi.

The terrain here has long been reconnoitred by agents of the Secret Bureau, so Guo Zhong and the others easily found the location of the hiding car.

Because it was night, there was no one outside the city, and the defenders in Nanpi City were very vigilant, so until Guo Zhong quietly surrounded Nanpi City on all sides with the guard battalion, the people in the city were unaware.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, after setting up blockade fire points at the four gates outside the city, Guo Zhong ordered his subordinates to fire signal flares.

In a few piercing screams, three red flares suddenly rose into the air, and in the dark night, the three flares flashed with dazzling light.

After about a minute or two, the originally silent south gate suddenly shouted murder, and an adjutant next to Guo Zhong pointed to the front and said eagerly: "Camp, look, there is a fire, they have done it." ”

"Hmm." Guo Zhong nodded, and involuntarily clenched the handle of the MP38 submachine gun in his hand.

Although the defenders in the city did not arrive, there were less than 500 people, but the number of people in the city was too small after all, and the troops had to be divided into two routes, cutting off the telephone lines in the city to contact the outside world all the way, and seizing the city gate all the way, it is really hard to say whether it can succeed.

In case of failure, then he can only attack, then the general seat is handed over to himself to quietly capture Nanpi, and the task of Jingxian, Dongguang and other county towns is likely to fail.

As time passed, not long after the shouting and killing in the city sounded, gunshots came, and seeing that the city gate had not been opened, Guo Zhong immediately ordered the adjutant: "Adjutant Li, immediately lead an assault team to climb the city to support the brothers in the city, quickly!" ”

"Yes," the adjutant quickly took the order to leave.

In the city, the agent in charge of answering is indeed in trouble.

There is actually only one agent lurking in Nanpi County who is really subordinate to the Secret Bureau, and the others are all his downline and helpers who have been bribed with money.

Since the contact was made through the radio in advance, Neiying's first task was to cut the telephone lines to prevent the defenders from calling the police and exposing the whereabouts of the northeastern frontier troops to the south.

So after arranging everything, the agent took two of his subordinates to cut the telephone line in person, because he knew that as long as the telephone line was cut off, even if his own line could not open the city gate as promised, then with the combat effectiveness of the guard battalion outside the city, it would not be a problem to capture Nanpi City, which was garrisoned by a group of rabble.

And the development of the matter was unfortunately guessed by the agents, his line had no combat experience at all, and when he led people to attack the city gate, he was so excited when he approached that he didn't know what kind of madness he had, and he took the lead in shouting.

It also happened that one of the defender riflemen on the city gate got up in the middle of the night to relieve his hands, and he didn't care about peeing, so the rifleman raised the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand and fired a shot at the line.

One shot killed, this shot also quickly alarmed the defenders of the south gate, and only a dozen people lost the leader of the inner responders who couldn't even open the city gate and fell into a predicament.

Fortunately, the telephone line had been cut off, and Guo Zhong, who was outside the city, found that the momentum was not right, and immediately ordered his commandos to start a strong attack. (To be continued......)
