    Fu Zuoyi said meaningfully: "Bring it up, why don't you mention it if you have suggestions? Either withdraw troops quickly or continue to increase troops, isn't that our suggestion?"

    The deputy seemed to understand something, his eyes lit up, but he asked in a jumping manner: "Can they secure the world?"

    Fu Zuoyi stared at his deputy for a long time before saying, "I don't know, but at least they can fight the Japanese longer."

    The deputy nodded and said: "Yes, hundreds of thousands of Northeastern troops fled into the pass without firing a shot."

    ¡­¡­

    Yan Xishan received the telegram from Fu Zuoyi immediately, summoned Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yuxiang together, and asked: "What should we do now? Those poor sticks have become a problem. Can we  You have to take it seriously.¡±

    Zhang Xueliang said decisively: "Is there any more to say? To mobilize heavy troops to attack, I must ensure that Xinyang is in my hands. Otherwise, we will not even have a way to escape back."

    Feng Yuxiang also echoed: "Brother Yan, we know that the Red Army is powerful. If it were not powerful, would we be able to sit in this position? If they had not defeated Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army, would we want to come to Nanjing?  We came here just to obey Jiang's order. However, no matter how powerful their Red Army is, we will still fight. If we don't fight, they will destroy us and they will come to sit in the Dragon Court. No matter what, we  There is still a fight, and we still don¡¯t know who will win. Even if we use up all our troops, we are still stronger than them. With such a large territory like ours, is it not easy to expand the army? "

    Yan Xishan touched his head, sighed and said: "This position is not easy to sit in. Now there are real internal and external troubles. Jiang is not willing to fail. And the Japanese are ready to make a move. Don't look at them supporting us now. But I  I know. As long as I can't support it anymore, the Japanese will be the first to attack us. I heard that they are increasing their troops in the country now? "

    Feng Yuxiang nodded and said: "Yes, those idiots are even more fucked up than the British and American countries. The British and American countries are now against us and support Chiang Kai-shek, but they are not going to annex our country. The Japanese brats are going to annihilate us, China."  Swallow it on the bone.¡±

    Zhang Xueliang said: "Then we only have to do two things now. The first is to defend Xinyang and ensure that Xinyang does not fall into the hands of the Red Army. The second is to strengthen the Wufu and Xicheng lines.  The construction of two defense lines will prevent the Japanese from making sudden attacks."

    Yan Xishan also knows that more than half of the power of the Nanjing government he leads now relies on the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueliang. If Zhang Xueliang is not appeased, the presidential position he has usurped will be  It was impossible to sit still.  And it was impossible for Zhang Xueliang to be willing to abandon the 60,000 horses in Xinyang.

    Of course, Yan Xishan himself is reluctant to give up like this. At least at this stage, he has to rely on the Northeast Army to support him.

    Soon, the three of them reached an agreement: increase the number of troops!  Send more troops to Xinyang!

    After receiving the telegram from Yan Xishan, Fu Zuoyi thought for a long time.  Then he ordered all the troops that were attacking Dongshuanghe Town to retreat, leaving only a part of the troops on guard.

    I saw the Jin Army and the Northwest Army retreating.  The Red Army did not pursue, but continued to build fortifications in Dongshuanghe Town.  This time, not only were the fortifications inside the town reinforced and expanded, but the fortifications and positions were also built outside the town, completely cutting off the connection between Xinyang and the mainland.  The defenders of Xinyangli - the 57th Group Army - therefore became a lone army.

    Although Yan Xishan and Zhang Xueliang continued to send telegrams strictly ordering them to defend Xinyang, telling them that reinforcements from outside were moving toward Xinyang in a steady stream, the morale of the defenders in Xinyang City continued to decline instead of rising.

    The first reason is that the cavalry troops and infantry divisions in front failed to escape together.

    Although the two troops were deserters, their combat effectiveness can be regarded as a regular breakout, and their escape cannot be described as "rout".  You must know the consequences of being a deserter on the battlefield. If you fail to escape or are caught by the superior officer, you will be sent to a military court even if you are not shot on the spot. They have done well to escape with the 57th Group Army Commander Miao Zhengliu on their backs.  He was prepared to burn everything in the hope of succeeding and escaping.  They had no escape route at all, either they would succeed in escaping or they would die.

    It can be said that their pressure was unprecedented and their determination to fight was huge. However, they still failed and were still blocked by the Red Army.  The Red Army was obviously caught off guard and obviously used a small number of troops to stop them.

    You must know that the Red Army is not a fairy. When the cavalry and infantry troops rushed out of Xinyang City to attack together, their commanders had no idea whether these troops were the main attacking troops or the feint attacking troops, but they had to be prepared for both.  But it is absolutely impossible to transfer the main force of the Red Army guarding Dongshuanghe Town to stop this attack.??"Small troops".

    If this force is just a feint attack force, if the main force of the 57th Group Army follows it and attacks Dongshuanghe Town, then Dongshuanghe Town occupied by the Red Army will change hands, and the 57th Group Army of the Northeast Army will break through and escape.

    What's more, the reinforcements of the Northwest Army led by Fu Zuoyi were already approaching Dongshuanghe Town at that time, and it was even less possible for the Red Army to mobilize more troops to stop this "small force."

    The Red Army can easily block the attack of an infantry division and a cavalry regiment with a small number of troops. Now that they have built positions and strengthened their troops, the 57th Group Army can still escape and defend.  Can you live in Xinyang City?

    With just a little analysis, the Northeast officers and soldiers guarding the city felt less confident, more guilty and more panicked.

    Another reason for the low morale of the Northeast Army is that the Red Army surrounding Xinyang City is too cunning. They either bombard Xinyang City with heavy artillery one after another, which makes the hearts of the Northeast Army officers and soldiers guarding the city jump out of their throats.  Eyes, the whole body is shaking and panicking all day long, or it suddenly calms down and there is no movement at all, which makes people panic. I don¡¯t know what the other person is doing or when the other person will come to me, and my expression is always tense.  , extremely uncomfortable.

    ¡°If the city defenders send reconnaissance troops out of the city, they will often be beaten by meat buns and dogs - they will never come back.  When a company goes out, only one or two people who reported the news often come back, and the other more than a hundred people disappear out of thin air.  What is very strange is that the people in the city can't hear any gunshots or feel any fighting happening.

    But the result was in front of everyone - no one was alive.

    I heard from the soldiers who came back in despair that their companions died for no reason. As long as they walked less than three miles away from Xinyang City, their Northeastern Army felt like they had entered the death zone. From time to time, there would be screams in the team, and people would die.  One after another, some were dead or injured. Some had their heads exploded, some had holes in their chests, and some were shot in the abdomen. However, the bullets fired by the other party basically made no gunfire. At most, it was the sound of bullets piercing the air, or dull.  And a low pop.

    Some smart people said that the Red Army installed a silencer on the muzzle of the gun, so the gunshots could not be heard.

    If you can¡¯t hear the sound of gunshots, it will naturally be difficult to find out the location of the shooter. That means you can¡¯t fire back. The most you can do is hit everything where you suspect.  The constant casualties on one's own side undoubtedly increased everyone's fear. In addition, during this period, the artillery of the Red Army caused a lot of chaos. Therefore, many times when the leading officer was killed by the opponent, the reconnaissance force also scrambled.  They raised their hands and surrendered, shouting for the Red Army to come over and accept them, and stop beating them.

    Those soldiers who came back to report the news were deliberately released by the Red Army. The purpose was to let them convey their fear to every officer and soldier in Xinyang City through their frightened words and deeds, making their morale lower and their fear higher.

    The goal of the Red Army was naturally achieved. The Northeast Army trapped in Xinyang City was now afraid and knew nothing about the outside world. They had no idea about the situation of the Red Army surrounding Xinyang City, and they had no idea how the other side deployed its troops.  Set up your position.

    The only thing they can do is to keep asking for help from Nanjing, keep asking their superiors to send troops, and keep asking General Fu Zuoyi on the periphery to launch an attack immediately to open up the connection between Xinyang City and the outside world.

    At the same time, the Northeast Army, Northwest Army, and Jin Army in the direction of Zhengzhou and Zhumadian were also required to attack Gan'an Town and open the road to the outside world from Tongyang City from the north.

    In addition, they are still praying in their hearts that the Red Army will take action slowly and wait until the Northeast Army, Northwest Army, and Jin Army from the north and south directions have arrived before taking action.

    Although the rhythm of the Red Army cannot be controlled by the besieged Northeastern Army, President Peng and Guo Zhuocheng seem to be really acting in accordance with the wishes of their defenders and have not taken action yet.  It was not until most of the reinforcements sent by Nanjing had approached Gan'an Town and had begun to join forces with Fu Zuoyi's troops that the Second and Third Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army launched a general attack on the besieged Xinyang City.  .

    The Red Army's offensive can be described as overwhelming. With powerful artillery as the forerunner, the defenders' fortifications and positions were cleared for an hour and a half, and then the infantry began to attack in an orderly manner.

    Sharp artillery fire, precise shooting, and high morale were simply not something that the panic-stricken Northeastern Army could withstand. When the infiltrated Red Army special forces appeared in the city and fired at those officers, the Northeastern Army in Xinyang City  Everyone in the army knew that the situation was over, and every one of them had no fighting spirit.

    Many officers and soldiers even breathed a sigh of relief. Instead of organizing a team to resist, they gathered their weapons and lined up to wait for the Red Army to receive them.

    The battle lasted only more than two hours from beginning to end. More than 40,000 Northeastern troops in the city??Surrendered to the Red Army.

    The only thing that made Mr. Peng unhappy was that the commander of the 57th Group Army, Miao Zhengliu, was blown to pieces by a bomb in the first round of artillery fire. It was impossible to collect all the corpses, so it was impossible to capture him head and tail.
