"Guards!" In despair, Huang Xiansheng shouted outside.

A burly guard entered in response and saluted, "What do you command?" ”

"Go and inform Deputy Director Wang and Battalion Commander Zhang to come to the headquarters, and I will discuss something with them." Huang Xian said.

"Yes!" The guards complied, turned and walked away quickly.

…………………………………………

At the same time, the temporary brigade headquarters of the 7th Brigade of Dongshan Zuizi Reading.

The commander of the reconnaissance company directly under the brigade headquarters is reporting the situation to Zhao Zhenfan: "Counselor, the Beida Battalion is empty, and the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment is missing, but the inferior rank found a large number of corpses of the soldiers outside the south gate of the Beida Battalion, numbering about five or six hundred, and the uniforms and weapons of these corpses of the soldiers have been looted. ”

"Huh? Five or six hundred? Zhao Zhenfan was obviously taken aback, and said: "Didn't the garrison of the South Manchurian Railway that confronted us before be five or six hundred people, could it be that they were all wiped out by the 3rd battalion?" ”

"I think it's very likely." The commander of the reconnaissance company said.

"So what's going on with Mukden now?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.

"According to the scouts, the battle in Mukden has ended, and the army has been thwarted in its attack and forced to evacuate Mukden." The reconnaissance company commander replied.

"Frustrated attack? Just the thousands of military police organized by Huang Xiansheng? Zhao Zhenfan was surprised.

"That's what the intelligence says, but I don't know the details yet." The commander of the reconnaissance company said.

Zhao Zhenfan fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said to the commander of the reconnaissance company: "In this way, you immediately send someone into the city now, find a way to get in touch with the brigade, and ask us what to do next." ”

"Could it be that the brigade has already evacuated Mukden?" The reconnaissance company commander hesitated

"Probably not, Mukden has not fallen, and it is still early in the morning, I think the brigade is planning to evacuate, and it should also choose to evacuate during the day, after all, the situation outside the city is more complicated at night. You should send someone to find out first, it will be better to be able to get in touch. "Zhao Zhenfan said.

"Yes!" The commander of the reconnaissance company immediately stood up and saluted, then turned around and walked away quickly.

East of Fengtian City, Zhang's house.

After a long and anxious wait, the guards sent by Wang Yizhe to inquire about the news finally returned.

As soon as they entered the house, Wang Yizhe and the others got up one after another, and Wang Yizhe asked anxiously: "How is the situation outside now?" ”

"Back to the brigade, the army outside the city has been repulsed." The guard replied.

"Okay, Brother Alarm Zhong did a good job, with the help of thousands of retired soldiers and police officers temporarily formed a ragtag force to defeat the long-planned elite of the Yue Army, this battle is really beautiful." Wang Yizhe said excitedly after listening to it.

"Brigade seat, it's not Director Huang's troops who are repelling the army." The guards saw that Wang Yizhe had misunderstood and said.

"What? Not Huang Xiansheng's troops? That troop did it? Wang Yizhe was puzzled.

"It's the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of our 7th Brigade." The guard spoke in astonishment.

"What? 620 battalion of the 3rd regiment? You said it was the 3rd battalion led by Zhang Xinghan? Wang Yizhe, Wang Ruoying and others all changed their faces drastically and were shocked.

"Yes." The guard nodded.

"What about the North Daying? Zhang Xinghan: Didn't they stick to Beidaying? How did you come to Mukden City, and how did you repel the 29th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army? Wang Yizhe asked one after another very incomprehensibly.

"Brigade seat, according to the news found by the humble position, Zhang Xinghan did lead his troops to hold on to the Beida Battalion, but they completely annihilated all the Yue troops who invaded the Beida Battalion, and then, Zhang Battalion Commander led the officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to disguise themselves as the Yue Army, went deep behind the enemy, and killed the wing headquarters and artillery positions of Xiao Yue Ben in one fell swoop, and severely damaged the Yue Army, which made the Yue Army have to withdraw to Sujiatun." The guard explained.

Wang Yizhe seems to be listening to a book from heaven, the boss with his mouth open, this is incredible.

In the eyes of Zhang Yuxi and his wife, not only did their son not sacrifice, but also made great contributions, which made them happy and happy.

"Brother Xizi, congratulations on giving birth to a good son!" Wang Yizhe sighed

"You have a good son-in-law, too!" Zhang Yuxi was in a better mood and joked with a smile.

"Yes, he is a good son-in-law, and he should be like Xinghan when he has a son, and it is also her blessing that Ruoying in my family can find a loyal and righteous person like Xinghan as a husband." Wang Yizhe nodded thoughtfully.

"Daddy!" Wang Ruoying glanced at Wang Yizhe with disgust, and then said a little shyly: "Dad, I want to meet Xinghan." ”

"It's the middle of the night now, Xinghan and he have already come back victorious anyway, what are you anxious about, I'll send someone to escort you after dawn." Wang Yizhe said.

"Yes, Ruoying, you've been waiting here for most of the night, rest early, and we'll go see Xinghan together tomorrow morning." Zhang Yuxi also persuaded with concern.

"But......" Wang Ruoying stopped talking.

"Don't be, I didn't see you worry about me so much when you led the troops to fight, and I was so worried before I married him! Alas, what a woman! Wang Yizhe said sourly.

"Daddy!" Wang Ruoying was angry and ashamed, and stomped her feet: "Aren't people worried." ”

"Okay, master, you and Dingfang should also rest early, and I'll take Ruoying to rest." At this time, Liu Liping stepped forward and took Wang Ruoying's hand to relieve the siege.

Mukden Garrison Command.

Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai were ordered to arrive, and saluted Huang Xiansheng at the same time: "General Huang, take a seat." ”

"Battalion Commander Zhang, you're here." Huang Xiansheng waved his hand at them with a somewhat gloomy expression, and motioned for them to come over.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Yicai found that Huang Xiansheng's face was a little wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Huang Xiansheng waved his hand and said, "I'm in a hurry to find you, I have something to announce to you, I just received an order from the young marshal, and the young marshal ordered me to evacuate Mukden immediately and go to the north to teach the opportunity." It turned out that while Huang Xiansheng was waiting for Zhang and Wang, Zhang Xueliang returned to his official residence in Beiping and called in person.

"Place, you're gone, what about Fengtian City?" Wang Yicai asked anxiously: "Also, Xinghan fought a big victory and made great contributions, did you report to the young marshal?" ”

Huang Xiansheng looked at Zhang Xinghan and Wang Yicai, sighed and said: "To tell you the truth, at the same time that we repelled the 29th Infantry Wing, the entire important towns along the South Manchurian Railway from Siping to Yingkou have fallen into the hands of the Yue Army, that is to say, now there is still a Fengtian City along the South Manchurian Railway that we hold has not changed hands, so Fengtian has become a lonely city." ”

"Therefore, although Xinghan first killed a garrison of the Yue army, and then severely damaged the 29th Infantry Wing and relieved the siege of Fengtian, but it was useless in the northeast as a whole, in order to avoid giving the Yue army a pretext, so as to launch a full-scale war, the young marshal decided to withdraw all our troops inside and outside Fengtian City, including the 7th Brigade of Reading Li in Dongshanzuizi and the police corps in Fengtian City." Huang Xiansheng said with a look of annoyance.

"What? Withdraw all? Then Fengtian City just gave up? Wang Yicai obviously couldn't accept such a fact, and said in a sad and angry tone: "Seat, we can't withdraw, we're leaving, what about the hundreds of thousands of hometown fathers and elders in Fengtian City?" What to do with the Shenyang Arsenal? How can the foundation of our Northeast Army over the years be handed over to Yu himself like this? ”

"Why don't I know any of this? Why don't I deplore this? But as soldiers, what can we do if it is our duty to obey orders? Huang Xiansheng paused and said.

"General Huang, in fact, it is the duty of our generation of soldiers to obey orders, but what Xinghan wants to say is that national dignity and national interests are above all else. After pondering for a long time, Zhang Xinghan raised his head and said in a deep voice to Huang Xiansheng.

"Battalion Commander Zhang, I understand what you said, but have you thought about it, even if I, Huang, am willing to disobey orders and stay in Fengtian City, what about the other troops? It is impossible for all of the 200,000 officers and men of the Northeast Army outside my pass not to obey the orders of the young marshal, right?

If they all retreat, what's the point of holding out? Huang Xiansheng asked rhetorically at Zhang Xinghan's angry and reproachful gaze.

Obviously, Huang Xiansheng has no confidence in sticking to Fengtian City alone, which is also human nature.

Zhang Xinghan was indifferent, and still said in a firm and deep voice: "No matter what others do, Xinghan and all the brothers of the 3rd battalion led by me will not easily give up Shenyang City, let alone abandon the hundreds of thousands of people in Shenyang City to flee for their lives alone, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he has done something and has not done anything, since the day he put on the military uniform of Xinghan, I know how heavy the responsibility is on our shoulders, it pins on the hope of 30 million Guanwai fathers and elders, it is something that we must adhere to as a soldier, it is also called faith, protect the family and defend the country, What is the regret of dying? ”

"Defend your family and defend the country, even if you die, what's the regret?!" Huang Xiansheng was obviously touched by Zhang Xinghan's words, repeated them carefully twice, and couldn't help but praise: "Well said, if the young marshal has the idea and determination of Battalion Commander Zhang, how can my Northeast Army become a lost dog overnight?" As a soldier, the loss of the city and the loss of land, so that our fathers and fellow villagers are humiliated and suffered, it is really a crime that is difficult to die, but the young marshal has the grace of knowing Huang, and the kindness is like a mountain, I can't disobey his orders, but I decided to leave the police corps I formed and all the defenders in the city to you, Battalion Commander Zhang, and you will lead them to continue to hold Fengtian City, and after I go to the north to see the young marshal, I will definitely persuade the young marshal to send troops to recover the lost territory, and at that time, I will personally lead the troops to support you! ”

"Sit, I will stay, swear to live and die with Feng!" Wang Yicai raised his head resolutely and said.

Huang Xiansheng did not refuse, but nodded understandingly: "Well, it's okay for you to stay, and you can fully assist Xinghan to take over the troops." ”

"In this way, hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City in the Xinghan Dynasty have thanked General Huang, please rest assured that as long as Zhang Xinghan still has a breath, the little devil will not want to step into Fengtian City for half a step!" Zhang Xinghan was also quite surprised at this moment, and his admiration for Huang Xiansheng arose.

Originally, he knew that in the original history, after Huang Xiansheng led his troops to resist for a while, he received Zhang Xueliang's retreat order, and finally withdrew into the pass with thousands of subordinates, until the outbreak of the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, he was able to re-lead the second cavalry division out of the pass, deep into the northeast hinterland to attack the Yue army.

I never thought that now because of himself, he actually left the troops he had worked so hard to build, which shows how noble the patriotism in General Huang Xiansheng's heart is.

"Don't thank me, this is also the last bit of strength I can do for the fathers and elders of the city, and when I return to Beiping, I will give you the young marshal and ask for credit for you, and you will officially take over the post of commander of the Fengtian garrison." Huang Xiansheng waved his hand.

"Seat, then you just left the troops behind and returned to Beiping, will the young marshal blame you?" Wang Yicai asked worriedly.

"No, the irregular force of the police corps is a self-defense force that I personally formed, and the purpose of my formation of them is to defend Mukden and the Northeast. As for the young marshal, I will explain to him, besides, Xinghan has made great contributions and handed over the troops to him, I think the young marshal will understand. Huang Xian said.

"However, there is one thing, from now on, Battalion Commander Zhang, the number of your Reading Force Seventh Brigade can no longer be used." Huang Xiansheng did not forget to instruct.

"Hmm!" Zhang Xinghan nodded indifferently.
