Chapter 135: Undercurrents surge in Shangjing City, and the Ghost Special Forces strike
The ancient city of Shangjing has too many titles.
For the entire northern region, Shangjing City is definitely the most core city. It is also an important transportation hub in the northern region and the capital of the northern border court.
Yuan Shicheng is now like a trapped beast, fighting desperately and trying to make a final stand in Shangjing City.
Because he knew that whether he surrendered or fought, he would be dead, so he might as well fight directly.
He would also drag more people down with him before he died.
And this will also make Jiang Hua's life difficult.
It would be best if this Shangjing City could be buried with me.
Currently, the Anzhen Army, which ranks first among the five ace armies, is stationed in Shangjing City.
The Anzhen Army has four infantry divisions under its command, including the Northern Frontier Army Training Division, which is known as the best division in the world.
This is also the only mechanized division in the Northern Frontier Army, equipped with more than 200 Renault light tanks.
This Anzhen Army was also the reason why Yuan Shicheng chose to fight to the death.
However, Yuan Shicheng was also very clear that although his mechanized infantry division was equipped with a large number of tanks.
However, the Renaissance Army was equipped with more tanks, so they were never sent out.
He now plans to defend Shangjing City to the death.
If the Fuxing Army wants to attack the capital, then just attack directly.
The 17th Armored Division, 16th Mechanized Infantry Division and 5th Motorized Infantry Division of the 3rd Column arrived in the eastern and southern suburbs of Shangjing City one after another.
At the same time, the 3rd Motorized Infantry Division also joined forces with the 3rd Column in the southern suburbs and deployed defenses in the western suburbs.
The 102nd Infantry Division in the north also chose to go out of the pass and head south at this time, and was deployed in the northern suburbs of Shangjing City.
This also means that the five divisions of the Fuxing Army have completed the encirclement of Shangjing City on all sides.
Even if Yuan Shicheng had wings, he couldn't fly away.
However, after besieging Shangjing City, the Fuxing Army did not launch an attack immediately.
Luo Qing, the commander-in-chief, received a call from the General Office of the Military and Political Committee.
"I am Xue Yun, Director of the General Office.
The Chairman orders that your troops adopt a siege-but-not-attack approach against Shangjing City. Someone inside Shangjing City will contact you, and you will only need to cooperate with him."
Luo Qing was startled when he heard this and immediately replied, "Yes, Director Xue, please tell the Chairman that our Third Column will complete the mission."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Qing had countless questions in his mind.
I didn't expect that they had an insider in Shangjing City, and the level of this insider seemed to be not low.
The internal supporter of the Fuxing Army is naturally Yang Kaitai.
Since Yang Kaitai stayed indoors, he also resigned from all his positions in Northern Frontier.
But this does not mean that Yang Kaitai's influence in the northern border will be weakened.
He has been working in the northern border for so many years that his network of relationships has already spread throughout the entire northern border.
He was even the leader of one of the factions.
That's why, even though Yuan Shicheng was very dissatisfied with him, he still didn't dare to take action against him.
It is because of some concerns that it may cause internal strife among the Northern Frontier Army.
It was this concern of his that ultimately ruined him.
With the Fuxing Army surrounding the city from all sides, the atmosphere in Shangjing City was mysterious and people were in panic, as if they were under attack from all sides.
This also gave Yang Kaitai a rare opportunity.
He understood that the time had come to form alliances and that it was time for him to take action.
If he could save Shangjing City from destruction by war and help the Renaissance Army capture Shangjing City, then this would be considered as his token of allegiance to the Renaissance Army.
His first joint target was the 17th Infantry Division of the Northern Frontier Army located in the defense of Beicheng City.
The 17th Infantry Division does not belong to the five ace armies, but it is also considered an elite force of the Northern Frontier Army.
The commander of the 17th Infantry Division was also one of Yuan Shicheng's trusted generals.
Otherwise, the defense of North City would not be handed over to him.
But Yang Kaitai knew very well what kind of person Gong Yang, the commander of the 17th Infantry Division, was.
Like himself, he is a person who sticks to the interests of his country and family.
It is for this reason that Yang Kaitai has always been in private contact with Gong Yang.
Now this layout of mine finally comes in handy.
At night, Yang Kaitai disguised himself and came to a small courtyard in the north city. The commander of the 17th Infantry Division, Gong Yang, had already been waiting there.
"Commander Gong, we finally meet."
When Yang Kaitai saw Gong Yang sitting upright, he came forward and greeted him with a smile.
"Master Yang, you asked me to meet you here, but do you want me to be a lobbyist for the Fuxing Army?"
Yang Kaitai was not surprised to hear this. During their previous contacts, he had vaguely known about the change in Yuan Shicheng's attitude towards him, so he dared to come to the meeting in person.
"That's right, if it was the previous Yuan Shicheng, I wouldn't be sure I could convince you to join the Renaissance Army, but now I am a little confident.
Commander Gong, you have seen everything Yuan Shicheng has done.
In order to protect his own interests, he was willing to become a traitor. Today's disaster is entirely his own fault.
It was for this reason that Yang was unwilling to work with such people anymore, so he resigned from all his positions and stayed indoors.
Commander Gong, such a person is no longer worth your life.
Moreover, the current situation is very clear, and the Renaissance Army will definitely achieve the final victory.
So many wars have proven how strong they are militarily.
In terms of government affairs, they cracked down on the gentry and distributed land to the poor people. The entire area under their rule was peaceful, the officials were honest and upright, and the country was prosperous.
This is the kind of government and army that is worth serving.
That's all I have to say. I wonder what choice Commander Gong will make."
Listening to Yang Kaitai's narration, Gong Yang's eyes flickered, as if he was still struggling.
After hearing the word "traitor", his eyes suddenly became firm.
When Yang Kaitai finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Yang Kaitai with sharp eyes.
"What do you want me to do?"
At this moment, Yang Kaitai finally felt relieved.
He knew that his plan was half successful, and the next step was to depend on the Restoration Army.
"Have your trusted men stationed at the city gates. Tomorrow night, a troop of the Renaissance Army will enter the city through the gates. You just need to let them in."
Gong Yang nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"
On the way back, Yang Kaitai kept thinking about his plan to make sure nothing was missed.
His plan was actually very simple, which was to kill Yuan Shicheng.
As long as Yuan Shicheng is killed, all the troops will lose their target of loyalty.
Naturally, they had no reason to continue resisting.
Therefore, only by killing Yuan Shicheng can we prevent the war from breaking out in Shangjing City and protect this ancient city from being destroyed by war.
However, there are two biggest difficulties in killing Yuan Shicheng.
The first is to find his location, and the second is who can carry out this task?
It was not difficult for Yang Kaitai to find Yuan Shicheng's location.
Yuan Shicheng owns a lot of real estate in Shangjing City.
After the Fuxing Army surrounded Shangjing City, Yuan Shicheng instinctively felt that his mansion was no longer safe.
So he was secretly transferred to a royal palace in the northern part of the city.
At the same time, he also arranged a substitute in the original mansion.
This created the illusion that he was still in the mansion.
There are no more than ten people who know this, and he, Yang Kaitai, is one of them.
The person who revealed this news to him was another trusted aide of Yuan Shicheng.
The location has been determined, but the person who took action cannot be found. There is simply no one reliable enough.
Therefore, Yang Kaitai felt that if he wanted to complete this task, he could only rely on the power of the Renaissance Army, and they definitely had the ability to accomplish this task.
That is why it is necessary to establish connections with the 17th Infantry Division and let them let the Fuxing Army enter the city.
When Jiang Hua received Yang Kaitai's reply, a smile appeared on his face.
"This Yang Kaitai is really capable. People like him are worth using."
After saying that, Jiang Hua handed the translated secret message to Ling Liang.
"Ling Liang, this mission is now handed over to your General Staff. As long as you can kill Yuan Shicheng, you can easily capture Shangjing City and avoid a major war.
You, the General Staff, must complete this mission."
Ling Liang nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, Commander. We at the General Staff will not let you down."
At this moment, Ling Liang had already locked onto a troop in his mind.
If they want to complete this task, they are probably the only ones who can do it.
This force is the Ghost Special Forces Brigade directly under the General Staff. They are also the earliest special forces established by the General Staff to perform special combat missions.
The entire brigade has more than 800 people, with a 1:1 ratio of combat personnel to logistics, intelligence and other personnel.
That is to say, the entire Ghost Special Forces Brigade currently has more than 400 combat personnel and more than 400 logistics personnel.
These more than 400 combat personnel are also divided into four special operations squadrons.
These people are all elite troops selected from the navy, army and air force.
He is proficient in mountain, urban, landing, airborne and other tactics.
It is also very good at performing combat missions in various complex environments.
So this task belongs to them.
The Ghost Special Forces is headquartered in Chishan County, but their training base is located in Jinyuan.
Because Jinyuan has a complex terrain and environment, it is very suitable as their training ground.
The Ghost Special Forces quickly assembled after receiving the combat order.
This time they will dispatch two squadrons of troops to carry out combat missions and raid the Prince Jin's Mansion where Yuan Shicheng is located.
According to the intelligence provided by Yang Kaitai, due to the need for confidentiality, there are not many guards in Prince Jin's Mansion, only a platoon of soldiers.
However, a guard battalion was hidden in the surrounding buildings, forming a subtle protective posture for Prince Jin's Mansion.
That's why it's necessary to dispatch two squadrons of troops to carry out combat missions.
One squadron is responsible for the raid, and the other is responsible for blocking enemy reinforcements.
As the night of the next day approached, the two squadrons successfully arrived at Desheng Gate in the north city of Shangjing City.
This is also one of the two major gates of the north city.
Yan Ming, the captain of the Ghost Special Forces, sent a light signal towards Deshengmen as agreed.
Gong Yang, who was standing on the Desheng Gate tower, was shocked when he saw the light signal and responded immediately.
