Zhang Xinghan was afraid of anything, and after sending out the cavalry regiment and armored company last night, he almost stayed up all night worrying.

Before he could take a break, Su Hanyun rushed in, and said with a panicked expression: "The brigade seat is not good, the advance team has encountered a large number of puppet cavalry besieged, at present, the company commander Liu Zhenhu is leading the soldiers to resist desperately, the situation is extremely critical, and the company commander Liu asked the brigade headquarters to send reinforcements to help." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Xinghan quickly reacted: "Call the airport immediately, inform Captain Gao, and ask him to immediately send fighters and bombers to Tongliao to give air support to the advance team as much as possible, and remember to take off in batches for reinforcements to provide air support for the advance team to the greatest extent."

At the same time, reply to the advance team, tell them that reinforcements are already on the way, and let them stick to the end no matter what! ”

"Yes!" Su Hanyun responded and did not leave immediately.

"What, what's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan was in a heavy mood at this time, and there was some displeasure in his tone.

"Xinghua is also in the advance team." Su Hanyun said with a worried face.

"Huh?" Zhang Xinghan was shocked when he heard this, raised his head and stared at Su Hanyun's beautiful face for a while, before he calmed down, waved his hand and said, "I know, you can go." ”

"Xinghua, you must hold on." Seeing Su Hanyun's somewhat sad back leave, Zhang Xinghan said silently in his heart.

Not long after Su Hanyun left, a fighter plane took off from Beiling Airport and flew whistling over Shenyang City in the direction of Tongliao.

Not long after, there was another rush of footsteps in the compound of the brigade headquarters, and Zhang Xinghan looked back when he heard the sound, only to see Wang Yicai, the commander of the third regiment, hurrying over.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you!" As soon as he entered the door, Wang Yicai knelt in front of Zhang Xinghan with a thud.

Zhang Xinghan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said in confusion: "Yicai, what are you doing here?" ”

"Tongliao is besieged, Xinghua is in danger, it is my dereliction of duty, I shouldn't have arranged for him to go to Tongliao." Wang Yicai choked up.

Zhang Xinghan helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yicai, we are all brothers, your intention of sending Xinghua to Tongliao is good, I understand all this." If Xinghua really has any accidents, then it's nothing, we are soldiers, do we step into the coffin with one foot if we don't leave? Dying for the country, since he put on this military uniform, Xinghua should understand. ”

Wang Yicai burst into tears and said hurriedly: "Brother, I'll take someone to help Tongliao in person, no matter what, I have to rescue Xinghua." ”

"No, I've already sent the Air Force and Sabuli's cavalry regiment and armored company to reinforce me. Zhang Haipeng and Yu Zhishan have defected to the enemy, and we must not draw troops from Shenyang anymore, otherwise, Shenyang may be in danger. Zhang Xinghan immediately rejected his request.

"So what do we do now?" Wang Yicai asked eagerly.

"You go back first, assist Mayor Zang to continue to evacuate the people, and I have my own arrangements to block the army." Zhang Xinghan groaned.

Although Wang Yicai was a little reluctant, after seeing Zhang Xinghan's unquestioning gaze, he still nodded and was ordered to leave.

After seeing Wang Yicai leave, Zhang Xinghan shouted outside the door: "Yizhi! ”

"Yes!" Shen Xingye entered in response.

"Pass my order, the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, the Guard Battalion directly under the Brigade Headquarters, and the Artillery Battalion will be assembled immediately, and the 1st Regiment and Artillery Battalion will be stationed in Sujiatun and make all preparations for battle." Zhang Xinghan quickly cut through the mess and commanded.

"Yes!" Shen Xingye suddenly agreed, saluted and turned around to be ordered.

…………………………………… Lushun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

A communications soldier of the Chinese army handed over a telegram he had just received to Ishihara Waner, a staff officer of the headquarters.

Ishihara hurriedly read the telegram, and was immediately overjoyed, and went straight to the war room with the telegram in hand.

In the war room, Seishiro Itagaki is being ordered to discuss the battle plan with Minamijiro.

Seeing Ishihara's happy face, Nanjiro opened his mouth and asked, "Ishihara-kun, what is so happy?" ”

"Your Excellency General, our opportunity has come, the special senior section agent has just reported that the cavalry of the Northeast Army stationed in Sujiatun and the armored combat vehicle unit that made the imperial army suffer enough suddenly left Sujiatun yesterday and rushed towards Tongliao. Also, not long ago, dozens of Chinese air forces at Beiling Airport also took off one after another, and they also flew in the direction of Tongliao. ”

"Oh? Why? Minamijiro asked, puzzled.

"Could it be that Zhang Haipeng's attack has had an effect?" Itagaki Seishiro's eyes lit up on the side.

"It should be, calculate the time, Zhang Haipeng's department should have passed Tongliao." Ishihara nodded.

"Yoxi, here's your chance." Itagaki Seishiro turned his head excitedly and said to Nanjiro: "Your Excellency General, now that the Chinese Air Force, cavalry, and armored troops in Shenyang City have all been transferred south, our opportunity to capture Shenyang has come, please hurry up and order action." ”

"Hmm." Nanjiro nodded, and immediately instructed Ishihara Wan'er: "Prepare a telegram, the 2nd Division, the 20th Division, and all the aviation units, Yu Zhishan Division, immediately attack Shenyang, the aviation troops must grasp the time of sortie, coordinate with the ground forces, and strive to provide punctual and accurate air support for the ground attack troops." ”

"Hay!" Ishihara Wan'er was also very excited, and suddenly bowed his head in response, turned around and took the order.

After Ishihara left, Nanjiro said to Seishiro Itagaki again: "Itagaki-kun, your investigation team should go to the front line immediately and supervise the headquarters of Zhishan for me." ”

"Hay, I'll go right away."

……………………………… Beiping, the Young Marshal's Mansion.

Zhang Xinghan's move to evacuate Shenyang naturally couldn't hide from Zhang Xiaoliu.

At this moment, he was scolding his mother in the office, especially when he got a report from a sleeper agent that Zhang Xinghan actually sent someone to raid his Zhang Shaoshuai's home in Shenyang yesterday.

In Zhang Xiaoliu's opinion, this is simply his mother's rebellion.

"Young marshal, according to the latest news from the humble position, the advance team sent by Zhang Xinghan was besieged by the rebel Zhang Haipeng's department, and at present, Zhang Xinghan has dispatched a tank and chariot company, a cavalry regiment of Sabuli and a large number of aircraft to Tongliao for reinforcements." In the office, Rong Zhen, the chief of staff who came to report to Zhang Xueliang, reported cautiously.

"You deserve it, Zhang Xinghan, a bastard, actually raided my Zhang Hanqing's house, and tried in vain to evacuate Shenyang to Tongliao, supporting the army and respecting himself, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead." Zhang Xueliang scolded angrily:

"There is also Zhang Haozi, an old horseman, an old thief with gray temples, who was so important to him when his father was alive and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, he dared to rebel and take refuge in himself! It's just hateful on the top of the head! ”

"The young marshal is angry, should we do something now?" Rong Zhen tentatively asked: "For example, while the Kwantung Army is preparing to fight with the Shenyang garrison brigade again, we will prepare in advance, and after they are both defeated, we will take advantage of the situation to send troops, reap the benefits, and recapture Shenyang and other lost territories." ”

Zhang Shaoshuai shook his head in frustration and said: "No, as far as I know, I have already begun to carry out large-scale war mobilization in the country, and Nanjing is also seeking peace with grievances. ”

"Oh, so we know to be on the wall?" Rong Zhen was also a little disappointed.

Zhang Xueliang nodded silently without speaking, as if he felt sad that he was about to completely lose the foundation of the three eastern provinces.

…………………… Nanjing, the leader's official residence.

In addition to launching another offensive against the Red Army, President Chiang was also keeping an eye on the situation in the northeast.

"Headmaster, according to the latest information from our agents, it seems that there have been new changes in the war situation in the Northeast, first of all, Zhang Haipeng, the envoy of Taoliao Town, and Yu Zhishan, the envoy of Dongbian Dao, have confirmed that they have defected to the enemy and committed treason.

And Zhang Xinghan did not fully follow the orders of the principal, blow up all the industrial bases, and lead his troops to evacuate Shenyang. Wang Shihe said.

"What? Not fully complied with? What does this mean? Jiang Gong looked at his guard chief in confusion and asked, "Zhang Xinghan is still unwilling to retreat?" ”

"No, he agreed to retreat, but it was not a simple military retreat, according to intelligence, he is urgently evacuating and mobilizing the people of Shenyang to evacuate, in addition, he seems to plan to take away the machinery and equipment of Shenyang Arsenal and other factories." Wang Shihe explained.

"Stupid." After hearing this, Principal Jiang couldn't help but scold: "Niang Xipi, Zhang Xinghan, this kid is smart and confused for a while, and a Shenyang city is less than hundreds of thousands of people, right?" There are so many machines and equipment, he has to move them all, is it possible? Will I sit back and watch him evacuate smoothly? Besides, where can he retreat with so much baggage? ”

"Yes, it's incomprehensible to be lowly, it stands to reason that these Zhang Xinghan shouldn't be unexpected, but why does he still want to do this?" Wang Shihe also asked himself in confusion.

"Forget it, no matter what this bastard wants to do, you will immediately send another telegram to the garrison brigade, asking Zhang Xinghan to lead the garrison brigade to evacuate as soon as possible, as for the citizens and factory equipment, if you can bring it, don't bring it.

Tell him clearly that as long as he can withdraw to Kannai alive, as long as he wants, I can always give him a brigade, no, a division. Principal Jiang waved his hand and commanded solemnly.

Wang Shihe's heart was awe-inspiring, since he followed the principal, he had never seen the principal value anyone so much.

………………………… Tongliao Town, it was evening, and the sun was setting.

Liu Zhenhu and Zhang Xinghua led their troops to resist desperately, and they have repelled no less than ten attacks by the puppet army.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, Zhang Haipeng's cavalry advantage could not be brought into play, and in terms of weapons and equipment, the puppet cavalry equipped with Type 79 horse pistols.

Of course, it could not be compared with the advance detachment, which was armed with Garand semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns and a large number of MG34 general-purpose machine guns.

Rao is so, after nearly half a day of bloody fighting, the advance team still suffered heavy casualties, after all, there are many ants that bite and kill elephants.

Although the advance team has advanced weapons and equipment, it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops.

From the fierce fighting during the day to the evening, the more than 100 gendarmerie police and militiamen who had been recruited before had already died and dispersed.

Now even engineers and technicians are forced to take up guns and join the fight.

The situation is critical.
