Chapter 472: Bloody Battle of Jincheng VI

In Luoyang City, Chairman Jiang was woken up by Wang Shihe, the chief of the guard, overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shihe, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that there is progress on the front line? Chairman Jiang asked, obviously sleepy, rubbing the corners of his eyes.

"Commission, Bai Chongxi called, the 25th Division has already suffered more than half of the casualties, Guan Linzheng wants to withdraw and rest, and let the Commission send the 4th Division up." Wang Shihe replied with a telegram.

Chairman Jiang was so clever that he understood the mystery on the spot, pondered for a moment, and said: "Directly send a telegram to Guan Linzheng and clearly tell him that this battle is related to the fate of the party and the state, and no one should have the mentality of being lucky, and should not be afraid of sacrifice, afraid of bloodshed, and fight the enemy to the end."

&n* pig * pig * island * small * said; The 4th Division will go up sooner or later, as long as this battle is won and one division is disabled, I will make up two divisions for him, and I will give him two regiments if one regiment is disabled! ”

"Yes!" Wang Shihe hurriedly stepped forward and quickly took the order to leave.

…………

Jincheng front, 25th Division headquarters.

Bai Chongxi took Chairman Jiang's reply and said meaningfully to Guan Linzheng: "Brother Yudong, there is such a guarantee from the commission, have you changed your mind now?" The commission attaches great importance to the battle of Jincheng, in this battle, all soldiers should fight bravely to kill the enemy, and perform well, once successful, the future will be limitless! ”

Guan Linzheng nodded solemnly and promised: "Please take a seat, don't worry, Guan and all the officers and men of the 25th Division will swear not to retreat, and fight with the Northeast Army to the last soldier!" ”

Bai Chongxi smiled and nodded, and patted Guan Linzheng's shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

At the same time as the first night attack of the central army in the south of the city failed, the exchange of fire between the Jin Sui army in the north of the city and the defenders of the Northeast Army also entered a white-hot stage.

Like the Central Army, after paying a heavy price in casualties, the Jin Sui Army was finally able to clear the minefield in front of the Northeast Army's position.

At this time, a large number of people are lining up in a dense charging formation to launch a group charge towards the Northeast Army.

The Jin Sui Army, which had not experienced the baptism of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, still had its main operational ideas and concepts at the level of warlord melee warfare.

In order to take the position of the Northeast Army, the officers of the Jin Sui Army who supervised the battle were completely filling in with their lives.

Under the dense and heavy fire of the Northeast Border Guards. The Jin Sui army that charged in clusters was like straw and was thrown down in pieces.

The entire north of the city is boiling in the sky, with corpses all over the field, and blood flowing and drifting, like a boiling purgatory on earth.

With the artillery support of the Ximen tank troops, the attack of the Jin Sui army was finally completely defeated, and the heavy casualties were extremely embarrassed and retreated.

Annoyed and angry, Yang Aiyuan killed the two regiment commanders in one go, urging Sun Chu to personally organize the next larger-scale attack.

And just when the two sides were in the middle of a bloody battle in Jincheng, outside the Yanmen Pass, a team of black shadows followed the edge of the steep foot of the mountain on both sides of the official road, and was quietly entering the Yanmen Pass wall in front.

Along. The corpses of officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army and the Jin Sui Army and all kinds of mutilated weapons and equipment can be seen everywhere on the official road that is not spacious, and the blood has long been coagulated, but there is still a pungent fishy smell wafting in the air.

This group of black shadows was none other than a night attack force sent by Liu Guodong, and just before dark, his 3rd Army had just finished an onslaught on Yanmen Pass.

Under the bloody battle, both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties, but after learning that Zhang Xinghan was now under siege, he strictly ordered him to quickly break through the Yanmen Pass in order to respond.

The anxious Liu Guodong and the deputy commander Shen Ke. Chief of Staff Zhang Tingshu and others decided to secretly send a night attack force composed of elite soldiers selected by the guard battalions directly under the group army and the guard battalions of various divisions after the end of this large-scale offensive battle.

Taking advantage of the slackness of the defenders' battle, they quietly approached Yanmen Pass and suddenly launched a surprise attack. Break through Yanmen Pass.

The Jin Sui Army guard general guarding Yanmen Pass is a famous general of the Republic of China, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Sui Army during the Central Plains War in history, and served as one of the four giants of the National Government in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. On behalf of the Chinese government, he accepted the surrender of the Japanese government aboard the USS Missouri.

Xu Yongchang, who is now the general commander of the 3rd Army of the Jin Sui Army.

As mentioned earlier, the Jin Sui army was divided into three factions, one of which was Xu Yongchang's Laoxian faction.

Sum up. It can be seen that Xu Yongchang's status and prestige in the Jin Sui army.

This person graduated from the fourth phase of the Baoding Military Academy (Army University), and then served as a brigade commander in the direct army, and later rose to the commander of the first division and the commander of the Shaanxi garrison.

In 1927, he led his troops to Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan and participated in the Northern Expedition. Later, he successively served as the chairman of the Suiyuan Provincial and Hebei Provincial Governments.

It can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles, and it is precisely with him in command and supervision that the Jin Sui army can block the onslaught of more than 100,000 elites of the Northeast Army at Yanmen Pass.

Of course, due to the great difference in the strength of the two sides in weapons and equipment, artillery, air force and other arms, the casualties paid by the Jin Sui army were also very large.

No, Xu Yongchang, who had just repelled another onslaught of the Northeast Army, sat in the command headquarters, frowning and silent, not looking at the dinner sent by the cook in front of him, obviously not having a little appetite.

The adjutant on the side said with concern: "Military seat, you better eat first, your body can't bear it if you don't eat, our third army officers and soldiers are all under your command, and your body is more important than anything else." ”

Xu Yongchang raised his hand slightly, stopped the adjutant's kind persuasion, and said: "The Northeast Army is well-equipped, advanced firearms, and well-trained, I'm afraid this Yanmen Pass won't be able to hold it for long!" ”

"Junzao, isn't there news from Taiyuan that Commander Yang has joined forces with the Central Army to besiege Zhang Xinghan, the head of the Northeast Army, in Jincheng?

As long as they can break through Jincheng and capture Zhang Xinghan alive, the Northeast Army outside the pass will definitely be defeated without a fight, and the war should be over at that time. The adjutant said.

"Capture Zhang Xinghan alive?" Xu Yongchang looked at the adjutant, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips: "If Zhang Xinghan is so light-hearted, how can he have today's achievements?" I'm afraid that Yang Aiyuan and Hu Zongnan didn't eat Zhang Xinghan's good teeth! ”

"However, didn't the newspaper say that Zhang Xinghan had less than two people in Jincheng? And the Central Army and our Jin Sui Army together are at least no less than 100,000 troops?

Our strength is more than five times that of the Northeast Army, can't we take a small Jincheng? The adjutant argued with some reluctance.

Xu Yongchang didn't mind the adjutant's argument, but smiled and said: "Adjutant Liu, in the defense of Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan only had less than 10,000 troops under him, while the Japanese increased their troops one after another, reaching tens of thousands at the most.

Do you think that the combat strength of our Jin Sui Army and the Central Army is weaker or stronger than the Japanese army? ”

The adjutant pondered for a moment, and said helplessly: "According to the understanding of the humble position, the Japanese are stronger than our army in terms of training, active weapons and equipment, and logistical support. ”

Xu Yongchang said: "That's not it, in the past Shenyang Defense War, Zhang Xinghan was able to resist the Japanese army with only a few thousand weak brigades for more than a month, and the enemy was not counted, and finally covered hundreds of thousands of Fengtian Father and Lao to retreat safely."

Now he has nearly 20,000 troops under his command, tanks, artillery, aircraft and other modern advanced equipment, do you still think that the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army can capture Jincheng before the Northeast Army breaks through? ”

"Then according to what the military seat said, won't we lose this battle?" The adjutant said with a somewhat gloomy face.

"If we continue to fight like this, it will be our army that will be defeated." Xu Yongchang's eyes also revealed the helplessness and frustration of a soldier.

Suddenly, the adjutant seemed to remember something, and said with some excitement: "Junzao, we all ignored one thing just now, that is, the Central Army and Guangxi's Gui Department are no less than 500,000 troops have gone north.

It won't be long before they can rush to Shanxi to participate in the war, 500,000 troops, and at that time, even if Zhang Xinghan has the whole world, there is nothing he can do! ”

Xu Yongchang looked at the adjutant with some amusement and asked, "Do you think the Central Army is moving north, and Zhang Xinghan will sit idly by?" Let's not talk about whether they can cross the Yellow River north to participate in the war, I estimate that they can't even enter the Central Plains! ”

"What do you mean by the throne? Humble and foolish, please speak clearly. The adjutant looked dazed.

"It's very simple, as long as Zhang Xinghan dispatches the Northeast Army Air Force to bomb the key points of the Jinghan Railway, he can completely paralyze this north-south artery, without the Jinghan Railway, the 500,000 army can only march on foot, which is thousands of miles away, and when they arrive, everything will return to dust and dust, and it will be over."

Xu Yongchang paused, and said: "In other words, even if they can successfully cross the Yellow River north to participate in the war, it will not be a good thing for our Jin Sui army, it is nothing more than a wolf and a tiger." ”

The adjutant pondered for a while, looked at Xu Yongchang in surprise and said, "What does the military seat mean......?" ”

Xu Yongchang interrupted him and said, "It's good to understand some things, you don't need to say more, trouble comes from the mouth, trouble comes from the mouth." ”

The adjutant nodded cautiously and said, "What should we do with the military seat?" Tens of thousands of soldiers of our 3rd Army have to find a way out. ”

"The best way is to conform to the general trend, welcome the Northeast Army into the customs, and respond to Zhang Xinghan's call to reorganize the new government." With Xu Yongchang's eyes, he would not fail to see that this was the general trend, but he said a little helplessly: "However, Yan Xishan treats me well and pins his trust on the heavy responsibility, if Xu welcomes the Northeast Army into the customs, won't he become a villain who is unkind?" ”

The adjutant was shocked when he heard this, and then said: "Military seat, Shanxi is close to the territory of the Northeast Army, and now the Northeast Army is becoming more and more powerful, and even Japan's Kyushu Island has been captured.

The military seat is benevolent and righteous, and he can't bear to turn his back on Mr. Yan, and he admires him for his humble duties, but as the old saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to perch on, and it can't change the outcome than letting tens of thousands of brothers shed blood and sacrifice here.

It is better to contact the Northeast Army outside the customs as soon as possible and let them enter the customs, firstly, to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, and secondly, to find a good way out for tens of thousands of brothers.

The treatment of the Northeast Army is obvious to all. (To be continued......)
