vim how to paste multiple lines insert into another multiple lines?

Question

For example, copy multiple lines A:

'fjalkfjljfllfs' 'dasldkjlasdjla' 'jlfajldjaflajl'

they are random string with same length.

I have multiple lines text B and want to insert A into B's same position (not begin or end):

'xxxx fjalkfjljfllfs xxxxx' 'xxxx dasldkjlasdjla xxxxx' 'xxxx jlfajldjaflajl xxxxx'

in vim, is there a way to do this?

If you mark you lines A via blockwise visual mode (ctrl + V) and copy them with y you can just put them back with p.

To enter blockwise visual mode, the default mapping is just ctrl+v
