Changchun City, the headquarters of the rebels.

Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang walked into the conference room together, and Xiqia, Jixing and others had already arrived.

"Brother Xinshan, Brother Chunchang is here, I have been waiting for you for a long time with Brigade Commander Ji." Xiqia smiled and got up to greet him.

Li Guilin smiled: "Li and Brother Chunchang are late, and I hope that Xi will forgive me." ”

"There, there, please take a seat." Xi Qia smiled and waved his hand.

Li Guilin and Mu Chunchang were also not polite, after everyone sat down.

Li Guilin opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what is the important matter of Xi Shenza's urgent summoning of the lowly ranks?" ”

Xiqia and Ji Xing glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Xinshan, right now we have a great opportunity to defeat the enemy forces outside the city. ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Li Guilin was slightly shocked in his heart, and asked calmly.

"That's right, General Ding Chaoding, the commander of the 28th Brigade of Reading Power outside the city, wants to unite with us to attack Li Du's 24th Brigade of Reading Power and relieve the siege of Changchun, and after discussing with Brigade Commander Ji, I decided to send troops." Xiqia said.

"Could this be a trap? Didn't Li Du and Ding Chao already form a coalition to aid Shen? How could Ding Chao suddenly fight back? Li Guilin said with a puzzled expression.

"I've also considered this, we can delay the attack time for half an hour, and then we will attack after Ding Chao really makes a move." Xiqia said.

"Since the senator already has a countermeasure, then Li should follow it." Li Guilin nodded.

"Well, at half past two in the morning, I hope that Brother Xinshan can lead his men and horses out of the city from the south gate, and Brigade Commander Ji will lead the 28th Brigade of Reading Power out of the city from the north gate, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads will take advantage of the chaos to attack the 24th Brigade and the 26th Brigade of Reading Power outside the city at the same time, and they will be able to win!" Xiqia commanded.

……………………

It was two o'clock in the morning.

Ding Chao led his troops to suddenly launch a surprise attack on the 24th Brigade of Reading Power as scheduled.

Ding Chao was very cunning, he launched a feint attack on the 699th Regiment of the 24th Brigade of Reading Power with the strength of a regiment, and personally commanded the main force to go straight to the brigade headquarters of the 24th Brigade of Reading Power.

The sound of gunfire woke up Li Du, who was already asleep, because when he was on duty, Li Du slept in his clothes, and when he heard the gunshots, he immediately woke up from his sleep, quickly ran out of the temporary tent, and asked urgently: "Adjutant!" What's going on? ”

"Brigade seat, Ding Chao is backwater, this bastard is leading people to attack our brigade headquarters, and the guard company is desperately trying to block it." The adjutant ran to report in a panic.

"What?" Li Du was shocked when he heard this, immediately pulled out his gun, and said loudly: "Pass my order, the 667th Regiment will guard Changchun City, the 668th Regiment and the 699th Regiment will immediately counterattack, give me a hard beating, and send someone to contact Brigade Commander Xing and ask him to cooperate with us to fight back!" ”

"Yes!" The adjutant replied and walked away quickly.

Li Du personally commanded the guard company directly under the brigade headquarters, the reconnaissance company, and other troops to fight back.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident, the 668th Regiment failed to respond in time to return to the brigade headquarters, and the 699th Regiment was also caught off guard and defeated by a regiment of the 28th Brigade of Reading Force.

In the dark night, Ding Chao's troops were unprepared, and after seizing the opportunity, they immediately launched a full-line onslaught against Li Du's 24th Brigade.

The 24th Brigade was caught off guard and soon collapsed, and Li Du had no choice but to lead the remnants of the brigade to retreat.

Xing Zhanqing's brigade couldn't distinguish between friend and foe in the dark night, and at this time, Li Guilin in the city led the 23rd Brigade of Reading Power to suddenly kill.

In order to avoid excessive losses, Xing Zhanqing had to command the troops to retreat while fighting.

An hour later, the outside of the city was completely disrupted, and Ding Chao's 28th Brigade of Reading Power bit the three regiments of the 24th Brigade of Reading Power, and the two sides started a scuffle.

Xing Zhanqing's 23rd Brigade of Li Guilin's Reading Power attacked and retreated, and he was too busy to take care of himself.

At this time, the old and cunning Ji Xing commanded the 27th Brigade of Reading Li to rush out of the north gate and launched an attack on the 24th Brigade and the 28th Brigade of Reading Li at the same time.

After a scuffle until five o'clock in the morning, Li Du's 24th Brigade and Ding Chao's 28th Brigade were both defeated by Jixing's 27th Brigade and suffered heavy casualties.

Xing Zhanqing's 26th Brigade was in slightly better shape, losing only a third of its troops.

At this point, the coalition army aiding Shenyang collapsed overnight.

When Li Du led the remnants of his troops to withdraw to Zhangjiawan, he found that the number of troops was less than one regiment, and most of the officers and soldiers were scattered and defeated.

Li Guilin and Ji Xing led their troops in pursuit without stopping, and immediately launched an attack on Li Du and Xing Zhanqing's remnants.

The situation in Zhangjiawan is critical, and the position of Li Xing's second division is precarious, at this moment.

There was a sudden change on the battlefield, and a new force suddenly appeared in the rear of Jixing and Li Guilin, and launched a fierce attack on them.

Ji and Li were in chaos, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing seized the opportunity to attack, took advantage of the situation, and under the attack from both sides, they turned defeat into victory and defeated Ji and Li Erbu.

Due to the heavy losses of their own troops, Li Du and Xing Zhanqing stopped the pursuit after chasing for a while, and then collected their troops and returned to Zhangjiawan.

The new force also stopped the pursuit and joined up with Li Du and Xing Zhanqing.

"General Li, General Xing, it's too late!" After meeting, a tall middle-aged officer saluted the two of them.

"You are Feng Zhanhai, Captain Feng?" Li Du looked at the middle-aged officer in front of him with some surprise.

"It is the humble position, I heard that the general raised troops to aid Shen, and the humble post specially led all the soldiers of the Jilin Self-Defense Regiment (682 Regiment) to come to help at night, but unexpectedly saw that the general was defeated, Feng Zhanhai was late, please punish the general!" Feng Zhanhai said with a guilty face.

"This battle is thanks to the timely arrival of Regiment Commander Feng, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, Li and the others are too late to be grateful, how can they punish Regiment Commander Feng." Li Du arched towards Feng Zhanhai.

"Brother Zhichu, Commander Feng, time is pressing, let's go back to Zhangjiawan first, consolidate the defense line in case the rebels come again, and then make plans." Xing Zhanqing suggested.

"Hmm." Li Du nodded and said to Feng Zhanhai: "Commander Feng, please also lead your troops to join forces with us and station them in Zhangjiawan." ”

"Yes!" Feng Zhanhai immediately agreed.

……………………

In Nong'an County, northwest of Changchun, Ding Chao led the remnants to retreat to the county seat to count the people, and the army of more than 10,000 people was less than 1,000 at this time.

Moreover, even the communication radio of the brigade headquarters was lost, and in addition to being angry, Ding Chao was full of remorse, in order to avoid the pursuit of Jixing and other troops.

He was forced to lead his troops to move southwest of Ji in order to make a comeback.

Changchun City, Ji Xing and Li Guilin have returned to Changchun with their troops, and although they suffered defeat at Zhangjiawan, on the whole, they still won.

In last night's battle, they basically annihilated the main forces of the two brigades of Ding Chao and Li Du, and also captured a considerable amount of weapons and equipment, and Changchun City was temporarily worry-free.

However, after the defeat of Zhangjiawan, they were temporarily unable to continue to attack in the direction of Harbin.

………………

The situation in Jilin has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the big battle in the direction of Shenyang has finally come.

At nine o'clock in the morning on September 9, Zhang Xinghan had just learned the news of the defeat of Li Du and others aiding Shen, and Liu Guodong, the head of the Second Regiment of Sujiatun, had another bad news.

Scouts learned that a large number of Kwantung Army was marching in the direction of Shenyang along the South Manchurian Railway.

Due to the weather, the reconnaissance planes of the air force could not take off, so when the cavalry scouts learned of this situation, the forward units of the Kwantung Army were already less than 20 kilometers away from the Sujiatun railway station.

When the enemy came, Zhang Xinghan could order the entire garrison brigade to enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and at the same time secretly transport a large number of poison gas bombs to the position of the Second Regiment of Sujiatun for emergency use in war.
