After the Battle of Tianjing Pass, the infantry regiment stationed with Liu Jianguo lost nearly two-thirds. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fewer than 1,200 people survived the breakout, and most of them were wounded to varying degrees.

After a rough count, Zhang Xinghan's strength in Jincheng was less than 16,000 people, including two and a half regiments of the tank division, and the first division was temporarily reduced to two regiments by Zhang Xinghan because of heavy losses.

The guards, reconnaissance and other units directly under the division headquarters were combined with Guo Zhong's guard battalion and Wang Longxiang's airborne brigade into a reinforced regiment.

That night, before dawn, more than 20,000 people of the 25th Division and the 4th Division of the Central Army crossed the Tianjing Pass and entered the [Pig] [Pig] [Island] novel to arrive five kilometers south of Jincheng.

With more than 20,000 Jin Sui troops north of Jincheng, they formed a north-south flank and officially besieged Jincheng.

Zhang Xinghan deployed two infantry regiments of the reorganized 1st Division to field defensive positions outside the south and north of the city.

The reinforced regiment composed of the guard battalion and other departments is stationed in the city of Jincheng and is responsible for maintaining law and order in the city.

Two and a half battalions of tank divisions, about 240 tanks, were divided into two and deployed in the east and west directions to support the flanks of the main position in the south and north of the city.

Overnight, the troops were quickly put into position, just waiting for the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army to attack.

Early in the morning, dozens of fighters of the Air Force arrived early on the orders of Zhang Xinghan and launched a fierce air attack on the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army.

Although it failed to inflict many casualties on them, it also dealt a severe blow to the morale and morale of the two armies.

Zhang Xinghan ordered Wang Longxiang to take the paratroopers and begin to cooperate with the main regiments to lay minefields outside the field defensive positions outside the city.

Due to the continuous attacks and air raids of the Northeast Army Air Force, the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army were unable to organize an offensive until noon.

This gave the defenders of the Northeast Army great valuable time to calmly lay out minefields and strengthen the fortifications of various firing points.

At noon, the Jincheng headquarters.

Zhang Xinghan was having lunch, although the war was imminent, but as the saying goes, people are iron and rice is steel, and if you don't eat hungry, you panic. Therefore, the rice still has to be eaten.

A signal soldier suddenly walked over, stood up and saluted Zhang Xinghan, "Commander, the chief of staff is calling from Jilin. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised, put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the message and looked at it, only to see Jiang Baili saying on the message:

The general seat, the rest of the battle situation in Jinnan has been fully known, and there is a general seat in Jinnan, although it is under siege, but it is as stable as Mount Tai.

but those who are worried. It was learned that Jiang Zhongzheng had been transferred to Jiangxi, and the central army in Lianghu and other places, plus the army of the Gui system, was no less than hundreds of thousands.

It was heading north along the Jinghan Railway, so Baili suggested that the main seat should use a small part of the air force for the Battle of Jinnan, and the main force should be used to bomb the Jinghan Railway to paralyze it as much as possible.

The delay in the northward movement of the Central Army and the Gui army is conducive to our army's overall strategic situation.

Otherwise. Once hundreds of thousands of the Central Army and the elite of the Gui family went north, the headquarters was insisted on in the south of Jin, and the blood and sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers were all in vain.

After Zhang Xinghan finished reading, Huo Ran got up and patted the table and said, "If it weren't for the chief of staff to remind him." I almost forgot something so important. ”

"Signal troops, immediately send a telegram to the air force, and make an all-out air attack on the Jinghan Railway, within a month. It must not be allowed to flow again! ”

"Yes." The signal soldier hurriedly took the order and left.

Without the Jinghan Railway, with the popularization level of vehicles and equipment of the Central Army and the Gui Department at this time, I am afraid that they could only go north on foot.

And walk north. This distance of thousands of miles, by the time they arrived, the war north of the Yellow River should have already settled.

After arranging the communication troops, Zhang Xinghan had no intention of eating, wiped his mouth, and habitually called Zhongzi.

But only one guard came in from outside, and Zhang Xinghan remembered that Guo Zhong and Wang Longxiang had taken their troops outside the city to assist the main regiment in defending the troops and laid a minefield.

"Take a platoon of guards and follow me to the south of the city." Zhang Xinghan commanded casually.

"Yes." The guard replied aloud, and then turned and took the order.

Soon, a guard platoon of about thirty or forty men was assembled, and left the headquarters in two military trucks and a side three-wheeled motorcycle and headed for the south of the city.

Zhang Xinghan has a multi-functional watch, so there is no need to worry about fuel and ammunition, as well as food and drink, without any worries.

Therefore, he traveled by car, which was also the confidence for him to dare to hold on to Jincheng with less than 20,000 people, and regret the siege of nearly 100,000 central troops and Jin Sui army.

As the convoy walked through the streets of the city, it was time to encounter small patrolling units, and the officers and men carried their guns on their backs and walked in orderly steps, without the slightest panic on their faces.

Zhang Xinghan sat in the car, looking at it in his eyes, and was very satisfied.

With him, the commander-in-chief, personally in charge and fighting side by side with the officers and men, even if they are under siege, the officers and men will not panic and be afraid.

Because of their pride, because of their backbone, they have nothing to fear.

The big deal is that you die, and the whole seat is here to accompany you.

The convoy quickly arrived at the city gate through the southern part of the city, and as a precaution, the cars and motorcycles stopped at the south gate.

Zhang Xinghan walked out of the city with a platoon of guards, which was a much smaller target.

The field defensive positions outside the city had been built long before the Tianjing Pass was lost, and now after a day and a night of emergency repairs, the communication trenches have been dug directly in front of the city gate.

It can be connected to the city, which is conducive to the deployment of reinforcements, and it is also conducive to retreating to the city when the war outside the city is unfavorable.

It is more conducive to ammunition handling, wounded transportation and so on.

As soon as Zhang Xinghan and the guard platoon left the city gate, they entered the shallow traffic trench with a full depth of one person and walked towards the front.

He didn't go far before he ran into some soldiers and civilians in the city who had fortified their bunkers.

Several soldiers hurriedly put down their work and saluted Zhang Xinghan: "General seat." ”

A few ordinary people were a little flustered and stood aside at a loss.

They were all forcibly recruited by the Northeast Army to help dig and build fortifications, although they were paid by the number of days, but they were still a little afraid of these wolf-like Northeast soldiers.

If it was in normal times, Zhang Xinghan would not have asked his subordinates to forcibly recruit people to help with labor, but in extraordinary times, in order to build a field defensive position as soon as possible, he had to take some extraordinary measures.

However, Zhang Xinghan was not as cruel and unkind as other warlords, not only providing the laborers with a rather generous three meals a day, but also paying them two yuan a day per person.

After the completion of each day, the people were also sent home, and the wages were paid on time.

After taking the money, the people gradually let down their vigilance, but they were still a little afraid when they suddenly encountered an official like Zhang Xinghan.

It's not hard to see from the look in their eyes.

Zhang Xinghan nodded to several of his soldiers, and smiled at the ordinary people next to him: "Fellow villagers, you have worked hard, and when this battle is over, our Northeast Army will thank you well." ”

A middle-aged man who was two years older saw Zhang Xinghan's pleasant face and approachable, and said boldly: "Thank you, boss, you are much more generous than the previous Jin Suijun, in the past, they also requisitioned us to repair fortifications and roads, and it was good to be able to stutter, and there was never money to take."

Not only do you manage your food, but you also pay your wages, and the big guys are all talking about the good of your Northeast Army, thinking that it would be great if all the soldiers in the world were like your Northeast Army. ”

Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "This fellow, don't worry, the military and the people are a family, and this time it is also a last resort to bother everyone to help build the fortifications. ”

After a small episode just now, Zhang Xinghan was in a very good mood, with his treatment of the Northeast Army and the level of development under his rule, as well as various policies to benefit the people.

As long as he is given time, I believe that he will soon be able to win the support of the people in the newly occupied areas.

The key is to win militarily as soon as possible and seize control of Shanxi.

But in other words, the people are the water, the army is the boat, the water can carry the boat, and it can also overturn the boat, and anyone in power who is unpopular with the people will definitely not be able to do it for a long time.

The unification of China is the trend of the times, and these corrupt local warlords of the Nationalist Government are a stumbling block that seriously hinders the rise and rejuvenation of China, and it will not last long.

When Zhang Xinghan came to the front of the defenders' position with the guard platoon, he happened to meet Guo Zhong and Liu Jianguo at the headquarters.

Seeing Zhang Xinghan coming, everyone stepped forward to salute and greet: "Boss, you are here." ”

"How's it going, how is the minefield arranged?" Zhang Xinghan asked.

"It's basically all arranged, in front of my forward position, an area five hundred meters long and one thousand meters wide, full of all kinds of mines and mines, if the Central Army dares to come, hehe, enough for them to drink a pot!" Guo Zhong said with a smile.

"Good." Zhang Xinghan nodded with satisfaction, "In this battle of Jincheng, don't be stingy with ammunition, as long as you win this battle, it will be worth it." ”

Everyone nodded approvingly, fortunately, with the airdrop of the air force, the troops did not have to worry about ammunition supply.

They knew that the airdrop was just a means for Zhang Xinghan to cover up, and many ammunition, fuel, and weapons were exchanged by Zhang Xinghan from the multi-functional watch with kill points.

As the commanders of the various units, they do not know the amount of airdropped weapons and ammunition and other supplies, which is not something they need to care about, let alone investigate and investigate.

Therefore, it is impossible to find any anomalies at all.

At this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from in the distance.

Zhang Xinghan changed color when he heard this, "It's not good, it's an artillery bombardment, order all troops, prepare for battle!" ”

Zhang Xinghan's words fell, and as soon as the shells fell, they fell from the air, landed on the main defensive position, and exploded in all directions.

A deafening explosion was heard, the ground shook a little beneath his feet, and dust fell from the bunker above the headquarters.

Zhang Xinghan shook his head, patted the dust off his shoulders, and said to Guo Zhong: "Order the artillery regiment to prepare to return fire, these rabbit cubs rush to get axes in front of Luban, let them see the power of our Northeast artillery!" ”
