The peak mouth is the Lulongsai Xiongguan that carries hundreds of years of war history. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Han Dynasty had been more than Shuangshu Pavilion Pass. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao fought with Wuhuan in Liaoxi through this fortress. Legend has it that in the past, there were people who fought on the border all year round. There was no news, and his father searched everywhere for thousands of miles to meet. Father and son met at the foot of the mountain, hugged each other and laughed and died of joy, so this fortress is called Xifengkou. Xiongguan is based on the valley of the Luanhe River, the left and right mountains face each other, and it is the 32 important passes built by Xu Da, the general of Hongwu in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in the Yanshan Mountains.
Due to the frequent wars, successive generations have continued to build. Consolidate its defense system. The three gates of Xifengkou are connected by a solid foundation brick wall, and the city wall has six joints, all of which have hollow ground floors. For military reasons. Xifengkou is divided into two parts, the castle is located in the basin surrounded by mountains, the four sides are made of stones, it is very strong, the city wall is more than two zhang high, and there is a thirteen-meter-high town tower built on the gate. Seki Castle was built on the north side of the castle, facing mountains on three sides. One side is by the river, between the pass and the pass, by the solid stone foundation wall connected into a whole, whether it is a car, horse and pedestrian, enter and exit the city to pass through three gates, it can be said that the guard is strict, the solid of the golden soup.
On the towering and majestic Zhenyuan Tower, more than ten generals of the Northwest Army, including Liu Ruming, Zhao Dengyu, and Li Jintian, silently overlooked the officers and soldiers of the independent division heading north under the snowflakes in the sky, and everyone wondered why An Yi's 15,000 men and horses set off lightly and hurriedly with their steps. Carrying only a small amount of dry rations and a base of guns and mortar shells, all the vehicles and air defense brigades remained in the barracks south of Chengguan, and only three infantry brigades and a makeshift cavalry battalion braved the wind and snow to fight without hesitation. And it was dusk, and the wind and snow were biting. It will be a question whether the soldiers can carry it for three days.
The generals and schools talked a lot, and Zhao Dengyu laughed at An Yi, a southerner, who didn't know the depth of the ice and snow in the north, and would travel day and night in this kind of weather. attacked the Japanese army in Qinglong Town, and several generals and colonels also echoed it. Liu Ruming has not spoken. He knew An Yi's cunning, and he had also experienced the speed and ruthlessness of An Jiajun, and thought that An Yi, known as the "Flying Fox General", could not make such a low-level mistake, not to mention that Gu Changfeng's division under his command and the newly formed independent second division were fighting in western Liaoning, and he would not ignore the weather factors, but since this was the case. Why did An Yi still ignore the dissuasion of Song Zheyuan and his brothers in the 29th Army, insist on going his own way, and send the most elite independent division under his command to Liaoxi overnight? Even if An Yi doesn't know, can Hu Jialin, deputy commander of the 17th Army and commander of the Independent Division, a native of Hebei, and Chief of Staff Zhao Rui, a native of Shandong, ignore it? Thinking about it, Liu Ruming still didn't know what kind of medicine An Yi was selling in the gourd, but he was convinced that An Yi's move must have a major conspiracy.
Brigade Commander Wang Zhibang's voice suddenly sounded: "Look, An Yi kid actually met a little soldier with affection, and the two seemed to be talking about something." The military seat also joined in the fun on the side, shaking hands with the little soldier
"Eat people with soft mouths. Take people softly, the military seat is out of courtesy, and it is also appropriate to accompany An Yi to send off the customs soldiers. Li Jintian said with a smile.
The generals hurriedly looked down, Hu Jialin, Wu Liheng and other generals who saluted and said goodbye to An Yi and Song Zheyuan downstairs beat their horses to the north, An Yi raised his hand and fastened the dogskin hat to the last tall young man, as if he was muttering something in his mouth. Song Zheyuan, who was on the side, stared with great interest at the young man's face that was mostly covered by a fur hat. The young man with the submachine gun on his back took a step back, raised his hand and saluted, turned around and ran away, and quickly caught up with the group.
Song Zheyuan watched the figure of the young man disappear into the fast-moving long line, turned to An Yi, and asked in a low voice, "How many brothers are there?" Such a brother?.
"Not much, strictly speaking, there are four, one is named Luo Shaodong, who is a brigade commander in the first division of Senior Brother Hu Zongnan, and is fighting in Hubei, Henan and Anhui; One is called Guan Shan, which is the chief of staff of the main brigade of the Butterfly Ditch Campaign, Wang Xulun Brigade, he has followed his younger brother all the way from Guangzhou, and soon after the end of the Northern Expedition, he entered the sixth phase of the Huangpu Infantry Department with the rank of major for further study, and after graduation, he was favored by Gu Changfeng and transferred to the 44th Division; There is also a good marksmanship and a greater reputation, Brother Ming Xuan saw it when he inspected the Central Military Academy, it was An Jin who showed marksmanship to the commanders of various armies, and he was leading troops in the 24th Army in southern Sichuan at the moment. Only this Li Jun is the youngest, and he graduated from the eighth phase of Whampoa. It is the younger brother who was recognized by the younger brother when he was teaching at the military academy, and now he is the probationary platoon commander of the new 1st Brigade of the Huzi Independent Division. It is the most admired and optimistic one of the younger brothers, if he can't die, he will definitely catch up in less than five years. An Yi was very proud to introduce.
Song Zheyuan was quite surprised: "Brother An is really discerning, these brothers are all people with great achievements, An Jin is your little brother, everyone in the army, Luo Shaodong and Guan Shan, if you don't say it, we don't know that it is your brother, so it seems that this Li Jun is also amazing, although he is young." But his conversation and demeanor are already extraordinary, especially the look revealed in his slender eyes, which is impressive, a bit like the bearing of the tiger general Gu Changfeng, but he is not so aggressive. ā
An Yi shook his head and smiled: "Brother Mingxuan." I beg your pardon for keeping it a secret from your brothers. It doesn't hurt now, this time tomorrow. Hu Zi will lead all the brothers to the Lengkou Pass in the east and return to Beiping via Qian'an.
They are not only in order to contain the enemy's 14th Brigade in Qinglong Town, and make a posture of attacking Yuya to threaten Jianchang, even if the task is successfully completed. ā
"Wait! What the elder brother means is "Table Zheyuan's hand pointed to the northeast, and his face was full of questions.
"I can't hide anything from Brother Mingxuan, haha! The independent division marched day and night, it was precisely in order to respond to the northeast direction Gu Changfeng led the 44th Division, the 17th Division and the 2nd Independent Division 30,000 soldiers to attack Jianchang, if everything goes well, the battle will start at ten o'clock tonight, if Brother Mingxuan has time, how about the younger brother ask Brother Mingxuan to supervise the battle together? An Yi sincerely extended an invitation.
Song Zheyuan was stunned again: "Supervising the war? Let's supervise the war in the pass more than 200 miles away? ā
"Yes, when we return to the temporary headquarters left for us by the Chengguan camp, Brother Mingxuan will understand." An Yi said with a smile.
At ten o'clock in the evening, in the headquarters of the Xifengkou Chengguan battalion, which had just withdrawn the mutton hot pot, the atmosphere was warm, and more than ten generals and colonels of the 29th Army gathered together. Looking at An Yi's staff team, he hung up a large map. Several of them couldn't help but look at the box-type communications command vehicle that was still running outside the side door, at the neatly arranged radio equipment on the wall, and at the more than 10 communications staff officers who were working intensively, and they were envious of the An Jiajun's advanced radio command system and abundant financial and material resources.
An Yi, who was sitting in the front row of the large map, picked up the teacup and politely signaled to Song Zheyuan, who was sighing beside him, and Chief of Staff Zhao Rui took the two telegrams presented by his subordinates and glanced at them, strode to the front of the map, and informed everyone:
"General Gu Changfeng called, a division of the puppet army that rushed to the aid of the Sixth Division had left Jianchang and arrived at the Japanese army's advance base Toudao Yingzi, 30 kilometers to the south, and according to the report of the reconnaissance team, this infantry division with 16 75 mountain guns had been unsaddled and camped. It is estimated that people are tired and tired. ā
"This group of dog mongrels is walking very fast, it is estimated that they will take the train to the Yaowangmiao mining area first, and then go south directly without stopping, otherwise they will not be able to go so fast. Now it's okay, they can't help it even if they want to come back when Jianchang fights, at this time it's wind and snow, and they can't see their fingers, let them turn back and catch up with the thirty-kilometer road, I'm afraid it's dawn when they get there, haha! This Gu madman has no last resort, it's really powerful! Zhang Weifan, chief of staff of the 29th Army, who had a bold personality, drank a few glasses. The sound is louder.
All the generals and commanders also praised one after another, and after a meal of wine, it seemed that An Yi was not so hateful, and the little estrangement in everyone's hearts was also baked by alcohol. Unconsciously dispersed a lot, and An Yi's unique affinity was once again well expressed.
"Report to the Chief of Staff, the Jianchang Assault has begun!" The intelligence staff officer sent a telegram and reported loudly.
Zhao Rui read the message in a cheer, raised his head, and reported to the generals: "After five minutes of shelling, General Lu Yixuan's 17th Division took the lead in attacking a Japanese brigade on White Wolf Mountain, and the 44th Division was divided into two routes, breaking through from the west and north of the city. The other brigade was located in Baita Town, 14 kilometers to the north, which was obviously specially arranged by the Japanese army to prevent a sneak attack by Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao, but this Kumamoto division of today's army was too large. Thinking that there was pressure from the 8th Division in the north, our two divisions did not dare to attack them on a large scale, and more importantly, they did not know that Lu Yixuan's 16th Division had already abandoned its artillery and quietly marched into the Karaqin area in three groups, and there was a fatal mistake in the calculation of troops.
Now Yang Jiuxiao's two brigades have been outflanked and in place, attacking the unprepared 1,100 Japanese troops with 6,000 soldiers, if they can't be defeated. I don't have a face to see people. ā
The generals laughed happily, Song Zheyuan didn't expect it to be on weekdays? Zhao Rui, a smiling Shandong villager, told a joke at this time, nodded appreciatively at the moment, turned to An Yi and whispered, and his mental outlook seemed quite uplifted.
The generals and colonels of the Northwest Army in the command headquarters also felt extremely excited and excited, just like their commanders. Just like watching his own troops beat the Japanese invaders, the discussion buzzed, the praise was endless, and General An's resourcefulness and courage were finally familiar to the generals of the 29th Army.
At 11:20, Zhao Rui excitedly informed everyone: "The officers and men of the 17th Division have completely annihilated the Japanese army in the White Wolf Mountain camp, the 51st Brigade besieged the remnants of the stubborn enemy from the east of the city, the 49th Brigade turned around and went north to support Yang Jiuxiao's independent second division, and the 50th Brigade stayed to clean up the battlefield. It went more smoothly than we originally expected, and it seems that this Kumamoto Division is not much stronger than the Eighth Division. There was no suspense in this battle, and if all went well, in another hour and a half the whole army would withdraw from the battlefield and leave for Kuancheng to the west to rest. ā
All the generals and colonels cheered loudly, Song Zheyuan stood up and shook hands with An Yi, warmly congratulated, and earnestly said that he knocked out half of the brigade of the Sixth Division in one fell swoop, making the central defense line a lot easier at once, at least forcing the Japanese army to not be able to relieve their breath within a week. The generals of the 29th Army sighed, and Liu Ruming, who had prejudices against An Yibao, also stepped forward to shake hands with admiration and congratulate them.
