District 9

A raging fire broke out on the wall of Jiujiang's special zone. The location where the transport plane hit not only collapsed the wall, but also caused many of the originally well-ordered defense zones to become extremely chaotic.

The bomb magazine above the wall was ignited by the flames, and the heavy firepower was burned in the explosion. The gasoline sprayed from the transport plane burned everything around the explosion point, so that the soldiers did not dare to approach at all and had no time to repair the defensive loopholes.

Coalition direction.

After Qin Yu learned that Fu Zhen and others had succeeded, he immediately adjusted his plan and ordered Huo Zhenghua's troops and Yang Company's eastern division to join up with the Li Zhan Corps and Lin Cheng Corps at the front respectively, and directly hold on to their original positions. The troops launched a fierce blockade from behind.

This part of the force is mainly to stop the Chen troops who want to support Jiujiang, and the Zhou troops coming from the Luhuai direction.

To put it simply, the rear team changes to the front team and fights with the main force rushing up from the local area. The coalition armored corps, which had already advanced ten kilometers to Jiujiang, and the central troops that had arrived at the Toucheng runway, took advantage of the breach of the Jiujiang Special Economic Zone wall to advance with all their strength and attack the main city.

At this moment, the coalition forces have about 140,000 troops, which are stationed outside Jiujiang for blocking operations. The troops attacking Jiujiang number more than 60,000, including 40,000 armored troops and 20,000 infantry troops, with a huge momentum.

The special zone wall was broken, and the defense area outside Xu City was extremely chaotic. This made Jiujiang's original geographical advantages disappear in an instant. Moreover, due to the constant oppression of the coalition forces, the space for activities of the Xu Department's defenders was reduced. Therefore, as soon as Li Zhan and Lin Cheng's armored forces came up, it was like a torrent of steel, rushing the Xu Department's defense area to pieces. .

Less than forty minutes into the peripheral battle, many defense zones collapsed. As soon as the coalition's armored forces came up, they went straight to the gap in the special zone wall and used armored vehicles and tanks to move forward. Immediately, the infantry combat units in the rear began to penetrate into the city.

Ruan Ming's unit was the main offensive unit in the battle. He gave full play to his advantage of being a local leader. While fighting inward, he shouted to Xu's soldiers: "Resistance means death, but you can surrender." They slept on warm kangs and ate hot meals in the rear camp, and were able to evacuate from the meat grinder-like battlefield in a very short time.”

This condition is still tempting to many grassroots soldiers in the Xu Department. Because they all know how many fraternal troops are stationed near Jiujiang City, and they also know how many offensive troops the coalition forces have entrenched here. The result of continuing to fight is obvious to many people. In addition, the psychological burden on soldiers to surrender is not great, so there are also a small number of people who choose to abandon their guns and become prisoners of war, giving up resistance directly.

…

In Jiujiang City's combat headquarters, Xu Hancheng's mood had reached an extremely low level. From the garrison troops inside and outside the city, a set of battle reports would come out in almost every minute or two, most of which contained news of the loss of the defense zone.

At this time, Xu Hancheng was depressed, but he still had the courage and determination to lead his troops to fight to the death. Because he personally believes that although the Jiujiang city wall is broken, there are still tens of thousands of defenders inside and outside. They cannot be completely consumed by the coalition forces in a short period of time. At worst, the two sides will engage in street fighting in the city. As long as the Zhou and Chen troops in Luhuai attack inward with all their strength and defeat the blocking line established by Qin Yu in the rear, there will be a chance for this battle to turn around.

If you do this, the only ones who will be injured in the end will be your own Xu Department's main force, but if the troops of Luhuai and Chen Department can encircle and advance from the outside, Qin Yu's coalition forces will also be hurt.

Both sides are consuming, so Xu Hancheng is not afraid. He also knew that Jiujiang might be the last battle to tip the scales of war. If we couldn't do it here, then... the Zhou-Chen alliance might be over.

Based on the above reasons, Xu Hancheng still stayed in Jiujiang after the special zone wall was broken, and gave death orders to the generals in the headquarters to defend at all costs and wait for friendly forces to support.

Xu Hancheng is an absolute veteran general in the Seventh District. His die-hard officers and family officers are all convinced by his decision-making, so most of the Xu family's main forces are still fighting the final battle with their blood and lives.

In this battle, many low-level officers died in the battle, and its tragedy was no worse than that of the Beifengkou battlefield. From this point of view, it's not that District 7 doesn't dare to fight, but it depends on who they fight for. When it comes to their own interests, most people are risking their lives.

…

In this way, the battle to encircle Jiujiang City lasted for more than thirty hours. After the coalition forces advanced into the city, they encountered desperate resistance from the enemy. After several waves of charges, both sides suffered relatively large battle losses, so they retreated in stages, and then organized their forces to continue advancing.

In these more than thirty hours, Qin Yu also made several command actions that tested his humanity and soul.

Qin Yu ordered Yang Liandong Division and Li War Department, as well as part of the troops in Lincheng, to only stick to the advance of the Luhuai and Zhou Dynasty troops in the defense zone, but asked Huo Zhenghua's entire army to cooperate with the three brigades of the Northwest Advance Army to take the initiative to attack where they wanted to go. The Chen system advancing on this side.

To put it bluntly, they were defending against Lao Zhou's troops on one side, and ruthlessly fighting the Chen troops headed by Chen Feng and Chen Zhongqi on the other side.

At the beginning, Chen Xi was eager to move forward and relieve the siege of Seoul, so he did not care about the battle losses and fought more aggressively. But more than twenty hours later, after several confrontations with the main force of the coalition, they found that the opponent was too focused on them, so their momentum immediately weakened.

At this time, Chen Zhongqi had already begun to consider that if his troops were exhausted and the siege of Jiujiang was not solved, wouldn't it be wasted in vain?

What will happen to Nanhu then?

Now that the main force of the Chen family is gone, can they still resist in the future?

Yes, Chen Zhongqi started to hesitate again!

At the same time, Zhou Xingli also hesitated on his horse, because the sixty to seventy thousand people on Chen's side were frightened and did not move forward for more than thirty hours. So after all, they were rushing to save Xu Hancheng. Or should we just act there?

Mad, is there an undercover agent?

Who is the undercover agent?

Zhou Xingli, known as the biggest undercover agent in Sichuan, was also confused at this moment. If the Chen side's attack continues to fail, and the main force in Luhuai is constantly being consumed, then Jiujiang will not be able to be saved in the end, and Luhuai will be in damn danger.

In this way, under the circumstances of mutual distrust and mutual suspicion, the two sides became more and more unsure of themselves, so in the end Xu Hancheng was fucked... very miserably.

Because Jiujiang City is at an absolute disadvantage, the special zone wall has been broken, and street fighting requires tenacity, but the reinforcements have not yet arrived. The soldiers and grassroots officers below have no hope at all, and the tone in their hearts is... Been worn away.

After nearly three days of fierce fighting in Jiujiang, almost all the defense zones inside and outside the main city have been cleared.

Xu Hancheng sat in the headquarters and cursed in a hoarse voice: "... supporting... supporting the Chen Clan... is so damn redundant... superfluous! If we stick to Jiujiang alone, we might not be so passive."

The generals were silent for a long time, and the chief of staff said to Xu Hancheng: "Commander, Jiujiang is in danger, you'd better evacuate first!"

Xu Hancheng pondered for a long time, turned to look out the window, and said calmly: "Is... is it a temporary evacuation, or is it never coming back?"
