North of Huludao, near Jinxi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The main force of two divisions led by Zhang Xinghan was advancing westward.

"Commander, the Air Force reconnaissance plane reports that the main force of the Northeast Army has left the customs and is heading in the direction of Jinzhou!" Liu Jianguo, commander of the 4th Independent Division, took advantage of the gap when Zhang Xinghan got out of the car to pee, and ran out of the car to report to him.

Zhang Xinghan shook his body, turned his head and asked, "What about the direction of Chaoyang?" Have you found any traces of enemy troops? ”

"Not yet, according to the report of the reconnaissance plane, the Chaoyang area is mountainous, and the Northeast Army is likely to have penetrated into the mountains and forests." Liu Jianguo replied.

&[email protected]/* */Novel; Liu Jianguo's voice fell, and a communications soldier ran down from the armored vehicle that was temporarily used as a communication vehicle.

"Commander, Division Commander Liu, our troops defending the city in Chaoyang have just sent an urgent telegram, and the Northeast Army has suddenly come out of Phoenix Mountain and is storming Chaoyang County." The Signal Corps saluted and reported to the two.

"What?" Zhang Xinghan was slightly startled, lifted his pants and turned around and asked, "Where is Liu Dongqing's tank regiment?" Have you returned to Chaoyang City? ”

"It's not clear for the time being, the defending forces didn't mention it!" The communications soldier replied.

"Immediately restore the telegram to Chaoyang County, ask about the whereabouts of the tank regiment, and send a telegram directly to Liu Dongqing's department, ordering them to immediately return to Chaoyang County at all costs, and tell Liu Dongqing that Chaoyang County is the gateway to Shenyang, if there is a mistake, Lao Tzu will kill him!" Zhang Xinghan quickly responded to the order.

The communications soldier saluted: "Yes!" "I'm leaving.

Zhang Xinghan suddenly raised his hand and stopped him: "Wait a minute, send a telegram to Gao Zhihang, and order him to immediately send bombers to attack the siege troops of the Northeast Army to assist Liu Dongqing and them in defending the city!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger bowed his head, turned and ran away.

Seeing the signal soldiers leaving, Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and suddenly said to Liu Jianguo: "Jianguo, the main force of the Northeast Army has now been out of the customs, and you know the situation we are facing, so we should only fight quickly." Do you have any good plans for the next battle? ”

Liu Jianguo paused and said: "Commander, judging from the current situation we have, the tactics of the Northeast Army have basically been clear, that is, relying on a large number of troops, the troops are divided into two ways to disperse the forces of our army, so as to defeat us with a large number of people. ”

"Two ways to divide the soldiers? Not so clever, you think too highly of our Young Marshal Zhang. His initial tactical goal was to quietly get out of the pass with an elite force.

Taking Chaoyang, Fuxin penetrated directly into Shenyang, recaptured the city of Shenyang, and cut off the northward retreat of our main force, blocking our contact with North Manchuria.

It's just that we reacted a little faster and seized Chaoyang City in time to prevent them from succeeding.

Next is the main force out of the customs, the partial division to attack Chaoyang City, and the main force to attack Jinzhou. Zhang Xinghan said with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Liu Jianguo nodded undeniably: "The commander's analysis is reasonable. Now we are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of available forces, if we divide our forces to meet them. I am afraid that a war of attrition against the Northeast Army will be unfavorable to us, so I don't think we can sit idly by. We should give full play to our superiority in mobility, annihilate the enemy with mobile warfare, and win the initiative in this battle. ”

"Well said!" Zhang Xinghan patted Liu Jianguo's shoulder approvingly, it seems that after more than two years of tempering. Liu Jianguo's tactical thinking has made great progress and improvement.

"As you said, we are at a disadvantage, and we cannot afford to delay for too long. A quick fix is needed.

It is somewhat unrealistic to completely annihilate the 100,000 Northeast Army, but as long as we can win one or two battles, inflict heavy losses on Major Marshal Zhang's elite troops, and let him retreat in the face of difficulties and retreat to the Guannai, we will be able to free up our hands to continue to deal with the Japanese. ”

"Commander, you mean, take the initiative?" Liu Jianguo asked guessingly.

"It's the initiative, but it's not a head-on attack on the main force of the Northeast Army!"

"Don't face the enemy head-on? Is the commander intending? Liu Jianguo was a little confused.

Zhang Xinghan smiled mysteriously, waved his hand and said, "Follow me." ”

The two came to the armored car in which Zhang Xinghan was riding.

Zhang Xinghan took out a map of the march and battle from it, and spread it out on the ground.

Squatting next to the map, Zhang Xinghan turned his head sideways and smiled at Liu Jianguo, and asked, "Jianguo, look at the map, how far is it from Shanhaiguan to Jinxi?" ”

Liu Jianguo looked at it and said: "The straight-line distance is more than one hundred and twenty kilometers, and the specific marching distance should be about three hundred miles." ”

"Let's see how far it is from here to the rising sun!" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.

"About ninety kilometers!" Liu Jianguo replied again.

"Ninety kilometers, let's count it as one hundred kilometers, with our mechanized marching speed, you calculate how long it will take to arrive at the earliest!" Zhang Xinghan meant something.

"At an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour, we can get there in five hours at most." Liu Jianguo suddenly realized: "Commander, what do you mean, we go north to Chaoyang?" ”

"That's right, it's to go north to Chaoyang, three hundred miles, even if the main force of the Northeast Army breaks its leg, it will take at least one day and one night, and then send some air force air raids and bombings to slow down their marching speed, don't think about arriving for two days, not to mention, Jinxi is still half a day's journey from Jinzhou.

And two days is enough time for us to concentrate our superior forces and encircle and annihilate the partial division of the Northeast Army that is attacking Chaoyang. Zhang Xinghan said eloquently: "All pioneers must be elite, if we can eat up the forward force of Zhang Shaoshuai before the main force of the Northeast Army arrives in Jinzhou, we will definitely be able to greatly reduce its spirit, and the next battle will be easy to fight." ”

"The commander is wise, and the founding of the country is admired!" Liu Jianguo's eyes were full of irrepressible excitement, and he admired Zhang Xinghan even more.

The two were discussing, and the signal corps went and returned, and they stood up and saluted: "Commander, I have contacted Liu Dongqingtuan, and Commander Liu said that he has led the tank regiment back to Chaoyang, and with the cooperation of the air force, he repelled the enemy's first attack."

However, the Northeast Army outside the city has already surrounded Chaoyang County. ”

"Oh? Have you figured out the number and approximate strength of the besieging enemy? Zhang Xinghan asked.

"Commander Liu said in the telegram that according to the captured prisoners, the besieging troops are the 7th and 22nd Independent Brigades of the Northeast Army, and the commander is He Lichong! Nearly 20,000 people. The Signal Soldier replied.

"What? Separate 7th Brigade? He Lichong? Zhang Xinghan was a little surprised.

Although the two main regiments of the 7th Independent Brigade broke away from the formation with Zhao Zhenfan and others, they participated in Zhang Xinghan's Tongliao Garrison Brigade.

It is also the main component of the new army in the northeast.

As an elite unit that Zhang Shaoshuai has always attached importance to, in the past two years, Zhang Xiaoliu has transferred people and guns to reorganize the independent 7th Brigade at any cost.

The commander was also replaced by He Lichong, the brigade attached to the former 7th Independent Brigade and the commander of the 622nd Regiment, who was absolutely loyal to him.

The rebuilt 7th Independent Brigade is well-equipped and strong, and it is still the crown of the Northeast Army.

In order to achieve the battle plan to capture Shenyang. Zhang Xiaoliu sent the 7th Independent Brigade as a trump card, supplemented by the elite 22nd Independent Brigade, which can be described as a bloody investment.

As soon as he heard that it was the 7th Independent Brigade and He Lichong, Liu Jianguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't wait to say to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander, it's He Lichong's grandson, he was the one who detained the old brigade commander in the first place!" ”

"This turtle grandson, this time he is unlucky, let's take him and Li Shusen's independent 22nd Brigade!" Zhang Xinghan immediately decided: "If the order goes down, the troops will immediately change from the rear team to the front team." The whole army headed north and quickly marched towards Chaoyang County.

At the same time, he ordered Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang to send fighters to bomb the main force of the Northeast Army out of the pass, delay its advance speed, and win time for us to encircle and annihilate He Lichong and Li Shusen's troops! ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo and the signal soldier bowed their heads at the same time and agreed loudly.

……………………

Chaoyang County, on the city wall of the West Gate.

Liu Dongqing, accompanied by the commander of the motorized infantry battalion and others, was patrolling the city wall, after all the tank regiments entered the city. The firepower of the defenders was greatly strengthened.

Coupled with the fire support and cooperation of the air force, the defending troops were easily equipped and repelled by the attacking troops of the 7th Independent Brigade, whose firepower was a few blocks behind them.

"Liu Tuanzuo, the momentum of this Northeast Army is quite huge. The south gate and the north gate were also surrounded, but the firepower was a little worse. The commander of the motorized infantry battalion looked at the battlefield outside the city where the smoke of gunfire had not cleared and quipped.

"Compared with us, it's naturally worse than the old nose, but we can't be careless. As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and the commander called back and said that Chaoyang County is the gateway to Shenyang. If there is a bad pool, you want to invite us to eat guns! Liu Dongqing said with a serious expression.

"Hmm!" The commander of the motorized infantry battalion also put away his smile and nodded solemnly, and then asked: "By the way, did the commander say that we should hold on until long?" Will reinforcements be sent? ”

Liu Dongqing shook his head and said: "I didn't give a specific time, I didn't mention the reinforcements, and I didn't ask for reinforcements, with the troops and equipment in our hands, as well as the support of those boys in the air force, it should be no problem to hold on for ten days and a half months."

What's more, before leaving, the division told us that this time we don't have many troops, and we need to cheer up 120,000 points.

We can't disgrace our 4th Independent Division, can we? ”

"Hmm!" The commander of the motorized infantry battalion nodded approvingly.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded behind them, and several people turned around.

I saw a communications soldier trotting up to the city with a document bag, and came to them in three steps and two steps.

Stood up and saluted: "Tuanza, the commander has just sent an urgent telegram. ”

"Huh?" Liu Dongqing and the commander of the motorized infantry battalion glanced at each other and stretched out his hand to take the message.

After reading the message, Liu Dongqing's eyes suddenly filled with irrepressible enthusiasm and excitement.

"Brother Liu, what does the commander command?" Seeing this, the commander of the motorized infantry battalion hurriedly asked.

"Brother, the commander has made a big move, you can see for yourself." Liu Dongqing patted him on the shoulder excitedly and handed him the message.

After reading it, the commander of the motorized infantry battalion also said excitedly: "Great, this time we have to teach these people a good lesson, and they actually helped the Japanese to beat us." ”

"In fact, the majority of grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army still have a bloody nature, and not everyone is determined to join forces with the Japanese to deal with us, and most of them are blinded.

Mainly those who are officers, once they get to the battlefield, as a soldier, sometimes many things are involuntary. Liu Dongqing sighed. (To be continued......)
