At the same time, outside the city, in a hidden mountain col four kilometers away from Chaoyang County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He Lichong and Li Shusen set up their temporary joint headquarters here.

The headquarters consisted of several links of military tents, covered by trees and grass, which were difficult to spot unless approached.

There is a tent in the middle of the war room of He Lichong and others, the right side is the communication station, and the left side is the temporary resting place of the guards.

As for the house, it is in the mountains and forests not far away.

In the war room, He Li Chong Pig-Pig Island-Novel wore white gloves on both hands, dressed in a military uniform, and stood solemnly in front of the map with one hand on his back and was silent.

Li Shusen lit a cigarette, swallowed the clouds and said with a mist: "Brother He, the enemy's firepower is so dense and the strength of the combat power is completely beyond our expectations, in my opinion, this battle is not easy to fight." ”

"If it's not easy to fight, we have to fight, we have to fight if we shoulder the heavy trust of the young marshal, how can we be afraid, cowardly and mislead the country?" He Lichong said with a solemn face.

Li Shusen smiled a little embarrassed and nodded: "That's, that's, I don't know if Brother He has any good way?" The Northeast New Army defending the city has tanks and air force support, and if you attack it, you can see the cost of casualties. ”

He Lichong nodded undeniably, and said in a deep voice: "During the daytime attack, the target is too big, and the enemy army relies on tanks, planes and other powerful firepower to carry out large-scale firepower strikes on our attacking troops, and the casualties are indeed too great.

In this way, we will postpone the attack until it gets dark, and then the enemy planes will not be able to take off, and the tanks and artillery will have to be blinded by light and heavy firepower.

We will be able to give full play to our superiority in forces. ”

"Well, that's very good." Li Shusen smoked a cigarette and nodded.

At this time, a second lieutenant communications officer walked in from the tent on the right, stood up and saluted the two: "Two commanders, the young marshal has called, the main force of our army has been out of the customs. is advancing in the direction of Jinzhou, and the telegram also said that the young marshal has decided to personally come to Shanhaiguan to command the decisive battle with the enemy! ”

He Lichong and Li Shusen were slightly surprised in their eyes, and then asked the second lieutenant of the communication, "Does the young marshal have any latest instructions?" ”

"The instructions of the young marshal are to order us to strengthen the attack on Chaoyang, take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Northeast New Army has no time to look north, break through the enemy's blockade as soon as possible, march to Shenyang, and complete the set strategic goals!" The communications lieutenant replied respectfully.

"yes, I see." He Lichong nodded and waved his hand at him.

After the salute of the second lieutenant of communications. He was ordered to turn around and leave.

"Brother Li, it seems that we are going to speed up the offensive progress!" After the communications lieutenant left, He Lichong turned around and said.

"What do you mean, go on the offensive now?" Li Shusen asked in surprise.

"No, now that the main force of our army has been out of the pass, and the young marshal is personally in command, there is no possibility for the Northeast New Army in the direction of Jinzhou to send reinforcements.

The time and opportunities left for us are abundant.

However, before dark, we have to be well prepared for the attack! He Lichong said and turned around and pointed to the mountains and forests outside and continued: "In the mountains and forests near here. There are a lot of bamboo forests, we can mobilize soldiers to make as many bamboo ladders and other things as possible to attack the city at night! ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for manpower." Li Shusen nodded happily. He immediately got up and said.

……………………

It's night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it's a good time to kill and set fire.

At the head of Chaoyang City, Liu Dongqing learned that Zhang Xinghan and his troops were about to arrive in Chaoyang City. Therefore, the more than 3,000 officers and men in the city were fully armed for battle, and they did not slack off in the slightest.

The city was full of armed Northeast officers and soldiers, and a general-purpose machine gun. Submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles are on the lookout.

The tank crews were all in place, and nearly 100 No. 4 tank crews were ready to attack at the north and south gates in two ways.

In the city, at the headquarters, Liu Dongqing sat dangerously, waiting for the arrival of the main force with a heavy face.

Outside the city, it was pitch black, and thousands of officers and soldiers from the Northeast were quietly entering the west gate under the cover of night.

When they approached a distance of 100 meters from the city wall, dozens of flares suddenly rose from the top of the city where the reinforcements were silent.

The dazzling white light instantly dispelled the night, illuminating the outside of the West Gate as if it were day.

The attacking troops of the Northeast Army suddenly had nothing to hide, and the Northeast New Army on the head of the city opened fire one after another with all kinds of weapons.

For a while, the bullets rained down.

An officer of the Northeast Army, who led the attack and commanded the attack, held a light machine gun and swept at the city.

"Brothers, call Lao Tzu!"

"Rush! Kill! Thousands of officers and soldiers in the Northeast shouted in unison and opened fire one after another, engaging in a dense exchange of fire with the Northeast New Army in the city.

The dense bullets shuttling back and forth were like small meteors in the dark night, which was particularly dazzling.

The commander of the motorized infantry battalion fired a few shots with his pistol, and as if he was not excited, he snatched the general-purpose machine gun from one of the machine gunners, personally operated the machine gun and began to fire fiercely at the city.

While pulling the trigger, he also roared angrily.

The Northeast Army's attack at the West Gate seemed to be huge, but in fact it was only a thousand troops.

Not long after the gunfire rang out at the West Gate, the north gate and the south gate were successively filled with overwhelming shouts of killing and deafening gunfire.

The north gate and the south gate are the main direction of attack of the Northeast Army, and as for the east gate, it is the "retreat" left by He Lichong for the defenders in the city.

Surrounding three queyi, throughout the ages, countless famous generals have used tricks.

Although He Lichong is not a famous general, he still understands this truth.

Because the Northeast New Army was fully armed and prepared, the Northeast Army's attack at the North Gate and the South Gate was also strongly blocked.

In the firelight, from time to time, the Northeast Army rushed to the city with a bamboo ladder at a heavy price, but before the ladder could be erected, it was blown up by the grenade explosives bag that fell from the city.

There were also new officers and soldiers in the northeast who were hit by mortar shells and turned over from the city and fell down.

The fighting between the two sides was at a fever pitch.

"Brother He, the enemy seems to have been prepared, and all the attacking troops have met with stubborn resistance, and it doesn't seem like they were caught off guard at all." On a high ground, looking at Chaoyang City, where the red light was soaring into the sky and the gunshots were loud, Li Shusen turned his head to He Lichong.

"It is not surprising that we did not attack during the day and in the afternoon, and it is reasonable that the enemy army is on guard." He Lichong didn't have the slightest worry.

"It is not difficult to judge from the gunfire of the new army in the northeast of the city that they do not have many troops, but a lot of automatic firearms.

We have an absolute superiority in forces, even if they are prepared? In the dark of night, the power of weapons on both sides is greatly reduced, relatively speaking, the enemy's losses are larger, so the ratio of casualties between friend and foe will be very close, not to mention one for one, even if two for one.

We have won this battle without a doubt! ”

Li Shusen nodded when he heard him say this, a little relieved.

The battle lasted for about two hours, and the besieging units of the Northeast Army still failed to break through the city defenses of the Northeast New Army, and suffered heavy casualties.

Li Shusen couldn't bear to say: "Brother He, the troops have been attacking for two hours in a row, and some companies have suffered casualties, let's postpone the attack and rest for a while, right?" ”

"The troops can rest, but the offensive cannot be interrupted, notify the 620, 621 regiments, immediately take over the attacking troops and continue the offensive! Don't break the morning sun tonight, and vow not to quit! He Lichong solemnly decided.

……………………

Ten kilometers east of Chaoyang County, in a bud field.

"Commander, the Northeast Army's attack on Chaoyang County has lasted for two hours, and the casualties of the motorized infantry battalion responsible for the city's defense have exceeded one-third, should we hurry up and attack?" Liu Jianguo asked a little anxiously.

Zhang Xinghan, who was sitting on the field at the head of the bud rice field and smoking, looked up and smiled unhurriedly: "Don't worry, let the rabbit cubs of the Northeast Army toss and toss, and when they are almost tired of tossing, let's attack again, we will be able to succeed in one fell swoop and encircle and annihilate them!" ”

Liu Jianguo nodded, and Zhang Xinghan lowered his head and continued to smoke.

Suddenly, Zhang Xinghan raised his head again and asked, "Jianguo, you said that if we can surround the two brigades of He Lichong and Li Shusen, is it possible to make a forced landing on them?" ”

"Crash landing? Can't you? It turns out that the old foundation of the 7th Independent Brigade has been brought out by us, and the current Independent 7th Brigade has been transformed by Zhang Shaoshuai, and most of the middle and high-level officers of the 622nd Regiment left behind at the beginning are loyal to He Lichong.

And He Lichong is loyal to Zhang Shaoshuai, this old boy is a tendon, and his loyalty is foolish loyalty, so he made a forced landing......" Liu Jianguo shook his head not very optimistically.

Zhang Xinghan said disapprerovingly: "You look down on the loyalty and willpower of these rabbit cubs of the Northeast Army, do you think they can fight to the death like little Japan and swear not to surrender?"

Along the way, I was thinking that Zhang Shaoshuai's exit from the customs was the slogan of resisting Japan and saving the country and recovering the lost territory, that is to say.

The vast number of officers and men in the Northeast should have been deceived by this banner of justice, and they did not know the true intention of the peak.

If we can surround them, persuade them to surrender with emotion and reason, and expose the conspiracy of Zhang Xiaoliu, we should have at least seven layers of certainty of success.

"I'm afraid that He Lichong and Li Shusen will resolutely refuse to surrender, and they will be trapped and waiting for help, if the time drags on for a long time and Zhang Shaoshuai's 100,000 troops arrive, then everything will be wasted!" Liu Jianguo said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid of this, when Zhang Xiaoliu's troops learn the news, they won't have three or four days, and they don't want to arrive.

We can use all the air force, artillery and tank units at our disposal to deter the trapped Northeast Army first.

After intimidating them and demoralizing them, they will launch a political and psychological offensive to disintegrate them from within, and if they succeed, this will be 20,000 well-trained and high-quality soldiers.

In our hands, within half a year, we will be able to expand a few more motorists on this basis. Zhang Xinghan thought of this and sighed happily: "If the 7th Independent Brigade is eaten by Lao Tzu again this time, I estimate that our young marshal will vomit blood in anger. (To be continued......)
