Chapter 474: All parties react
Taiyuan, Yan Gongguan...
In the middle of the night, a rush of footsteps came from outside Yan Xishan's bedroom, followed immediately by the wooden door being knocked.
Yan Laoxi, who was sleeping soundly with Taiyuan's name in his arms, was awakened in vain. He sat up suddenly and moved the quilt. The white body of the beauty in his arms was immediately exposed.
"Is this virtuous? What's the matter??" Yan Laoxi was extremely dissatisfied with his beautiful sleep being disturbed. Now that he was getting older, he had sex with the beauty next to him before going to bed. His body and spirit were extremely
Tired.
Sure enough, the voice of Yan Laoxi's chief adjutant Xu Youde came from outside the door, saying in a hurry: "Chairman, something bad has happened. General Xu Yongchang just called. Yanmen Pass has been lost, and the Northeast Army has broken through the pass!"
"What?! What did you say?" Yan Laoxi was shocked. He crawled out of bed and opened the door. He panicked and grabbed the shoulders of Xu Youde who was standing at the door and said, "Youde, what did you say just now?"
Xu Youde looked ashen and said: "Chairman, Yanmen Pass has been lost!"
Yan Xishan looked miserable and said with disbelief: "How is this possible? Xu Cichen is a famous general of our Shanxi-Sui Army. With him in charge, how could Yanmen Pass be lost?"
"It's true. This is an emergency message from General Xu." Xu Youde handed the message in his hand to Yan Xishan.
Yan Xishan received the telegram with some trembling, and read it with fear. He was a little confused and said at a loss: "Cichen missed me, Cichen missed me! Yanmen Pass is lost, what should I do?"
Xu Youde suggested: "Chairman, the situation is urgent. Should we send a message to Mr. Yang as soon as possible and ask Mr. Yang to return to Taiyuan to discuss countermeasures?"
Yan Xishan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, power up Xingru immediately, hurry up, hurry up!"
"Yes!" Xu Youde saluted, turned around and walked away quickly.
……………………
Almost at the same time that Yan Xishan received the telegram, Zhang Xinghan, who was supervising the battle in the south of the city, also received a victory telegram jointly sent by Liu Guodong, Shen Ke and Zhang Tingshu.
On the battlefield south of the city, the second attack organized by Du Yuming had begun, and Liu Jianguo, Guo Zhong and others led their troops to fight fiercely.
Zhang Xinghan stood in the command post, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers. Suddenly, a communications soldier took off his earphones and stood up. He turned around and saluted Zhang Xinghan and reported: "General, the 3rd Group Army has sent an urgent message from Yanmen Pass.
Half an hour ago, the night attack force of our 3rd Army, under the personal leadership of Chief of Staff Zhang Tingshu, succeeded in a surprise attack on Yanmen. Now the force has fully captured Yanmen Pass.
Xu Yongchang of the Shanxi-Sui Army retreated towards the Xinzhou area, and the 3rd Group Army is pursuing it with all its strength and marching towards Taiyuan!"
"What?" Zhang Xinghan was also shocked. He turned around suddenly, took the telegram, read it hastily, and praised it fiercely: "Beautiful, what a beautiful job you did. Yanmen Pass fell, and the Jin-Sui Army
The western barrier has suddenly been lost. I wonder what Yan Xishan can do to resist our 3rd Army's hundreds of thousands troops this time.
Immediately send power to Liu Guodong and Shen Ke and order them to attack Xinkou and quickly approach Taiyuan."
"Yes!" the communications soldier responded, turned around, sat down, put on the headphones again, and started generating electricity.
Zhang Xinghan murmured with joy, Yan Xishan, Yang Aiyuan, let me see how you deal with it this time.
At the same time, in the Shanxi-Sui Army headquarters in the north of the city.
Yang Aiyuan read the message in his hand and handed it to Sun Chu who was surprised and confused with a solemn expression.
Sun Chu took the telegram and read it hastily, and was stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he said inarticulately: "Well, what should we do now? Yanmen Pass has been lost, and Taiyuan is in danger!"
Yang Aiyuan frowned and was silent for a long time, then said: "Immediately send a message to Chairman Yan and quickly order Xu Yongchang to lead his troops to defend Xinkou, and then mobilize all the troops left behind in Taiyuan to rush to Xinkou and defend Taiyuan!"
"Then what should we do? Should we continue to stay here?" Sun Chu asked.
Yang Aiyuan thought for a while and said: "We can no longer participate in the battle of Jincheng. Now Taiyuan's troops are weak, Xu Yongchang's troops have suffered too many casualties, and Shang Zhen's troops are also restrained in Jingxingguan and other places. Only we can escape and return to Taiyuan."
!”
"What does Brother Xingru mean by giving up the siege? Retreating directly?" Sun Chu said worriedly: "Then the Central Army..."
Yang Aiyuan pondered for a while and said: "Brother Cuiya, the Northeast Army has broken through Yanmen Pass, and the critical situation in Taiyuan cannot be hidden from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. If you and I jointly send power to Luoyang, we will say that Yanmen Pass has been lost, Taiyuan is in critical condition, and we are in charge of Yan."
Sir, we have ordered an urgent return of reinforcements. The task of besieging Jincheng will put more trouble on the Central Army."
"Okay." Sun Chu nodded, and after instructing the communication troops to generate electricity, the two of them took action and began to prepare for the evacuation of the troops.
…
In Luoyang, Chairman Chiang received the news that Yanmen Pass had been captured by the Northeastern Army and Taiyuan was in danger just a little later than Yan Xishan and Zhang Xinghan.
Chairman Chiang was worryingly meditating on countermeasures when suddenly another attendant came with a telegram and reported to him: "Commissioner, Jin Suijun, Yang Aiyuan, and Sun Chu called jointly."
Chairman Chiang frowned, fearing what might happen. Although Chairman Chiang's strategic vision was not very good, his tactical skills were even worse.
But he still knew what the fall of Yanmen Pass meant.
Then he waved his hand and said: "Nian."
After the attendant finished reading, Wang Shihe could clearly feel that Chairman Jiang's face was gradually getting colder.
Looking up slightly, Chairman Chiang's face turned out to be gloomy and extremely frightening.
Wang Shihe did not dare to ask any more questions, so he had to wait with his head lowered. The other attendant was sitting on pins and needles, standing restlessly, and lowered his head even lower in silence.
During the suffocating wait, Chairman Chiang finally spoke, and told Wang Shihe with a gloomy face: "Reply the call to Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu immediately. Zhang Xinghan is the number one confidant of the party and state. We must not let the tiger go back easily, otherwise there will be endless troubles. Please two of you."
The general attaches great importance to the overall interests of the party and the country. After the event is completed, Zhongzheng recommends Brother Yang and Brother Sun to the Executive Yuan as provincial chairman of Shanxi and Suiyuan provinces."
Wang Shihe did not dare to delay and quickly took the order with his communication attendant.
……………………
As time went by, it was almost dawn, and the lights in Yan's Mansion in Taiyuan were brightly lit. Ever since he learned that Yanmen Pass had been captured, Yan Xishan didn't feel sleepy anymore.
Sitting in the office, anxiously waiting for a call back from Yang Aiyuan, until not long ago, I received a call back from Yang Aiyuan and Sun Chu, saying that they would immediately lead all the troops in the department to withdraw from the siege overnight and quickly return north to rescue Taiyuan. Chief Yan was carrying a
Only when the heart is settled.
He also ordered Xu Youde to send electricity to Xu Yongchang according to Yang Aiyuan's instructions, and asked him to organize troops to defend Xinzhou.
Not long after, the adjutant Xu Youde left and returned. Yan Xishan asked: "Youde, has the matter been settled?"
Xu Youde nodded and said: "Reporting to the Chairman, the telegram has been sent. General Xu Yongchang must have received it by now."
Yan Xishan felt relieved and nodded, saying: "That's good, that's good. As long as Xingru can get to Taiyuan in time, it will be safe."
It was impossible for Yan Xishan not to be afraid. Zhang Xinghan, who had been stabbed a thousand times, sent the air force to attack Taiyuan Military Airport as early as daytime.
Not only did they wipe out the poor airplane fortune that Chief Yan had worked so hard to accumulate, but the airport was also blown into ruins. As a result, Chief Yan's way of quickly escaping by plane in critical moments was cut off.
But, then again, with such a powerful air force of the Northeastern Border Guards ruling the sky, even if the Northeastern Army did not attack Taiyuan Airport by air, Yan Xishan might not dare to escape by plane.
As soon as the master and servant finished speaking, a communications soldier arrived in a hurry.
He ignored the salute to Yan Xishan and said: "Chairman, General Yang Aiyuan has called."
"What? What did Xingru say in the telegram?" Yan Xishan immediately motioned to Xu Youde to take the telegram.
After taking the telegram from Xu Youde and opening it in a hurry, Yan Xishan was stunned on the spot, but Xu Youde, who was careful, noticed that Chairman Yan's expression was quietly changing.
After a while, Yan Xishan's old face turned gloomy and terrifying.
He was so angry that he slapped the table and yelled: "Chiang Zhongzheng, that bastard, he is trying to kill me."
Xu Youde was startled and asked cautiously: "Sir, what's going on?"
"In order to eliminate Zhang Xinghan, he secretly ordered Xingru and Cuiya to give up returning to Taiyuan and continue to besiege Jincheng. He also used his position as chairman of the two provinces of Jinsui as bait.
Fortunately, Xingru and Cuiya are loyal to me, Mr. Yan, otherwise Taiyuan is in danger, and we will die without a burial place!" Yan Xishan was so angry that he had new and old hatreds at this moment, and he had to treat Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
It's said to be filled with hatred.
………………
Xinzhou, Dai County.
After the fall of Yanmen Pass, Xu Yongchang led his troops to retreat to Dai County, and Zhang Tingshu, chief of staff of the 3rd Group Army of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army, commanded two infantry regiments to follow closely.
The attack on Dai County is urgent.
There was loud gunfire outside, and the shouts of killing got louder and louder.
In the city of Dai County, the adjutant said to Xu Yongchang: "Military seat, Dai County is an isolated city and must not be defended for a long time. Otherwise, once the follow-up troops of the Northeast Army arrive, bypass Dai County and attack Xinzhou, cutting off our army's retreat, tens of thousands of soldiers will be killed."
You will be in a dangerous dilemma."
Xu Yongchang nodded in agreement. Just as he was about to order the troops to prepare to continue withdrawing eastward, a communications soldier suddenly walked in with a message in his hand.
Facing Xu Yongchang's questioning gaze, he saluted: "Military seat, Chairman Yan has sent an urgent message from Taiyuan."
"Oh? What does the message say? Read it quickly!" Xu Yongchang stood up.
"Chairman Yan ordered us to stick to Xinzhou and wait for reinforcements. Without orders, we will never be allowed to take a step back. By guarding Xinkou, we will guard the northwest barrier of Taiyuan. I hope Brother Cichen will remember this and Yan Baichuan's instructions!" the communications soldier read.
.
Xu Yongchang felt the urgency in Yan Xishan's words, but he did not blame himself at all for losing Yanmen Pass. He couldn't help but feel even more guilty. He immediately cheered up and said to his adjutant: "Order all divisions to retreat to Xinzhou immediately and hold on to wait for reinforcements."
Chapter completed!
