In mid-September, the Northeast has basically bid farewell to the hot weather, and the weather has gradually become colder.

Especially in the early morning, the dew is quite heavy.

At six o'clock in the morning, Zhang Xinghan handed over the matter of cleaning the battlefield, counting the results, and pacifying the wounded soldiers to Liu Jianguo, Wang Yicai and others.

Riding a war horse and leading a few cavalrymen straight into the city, he galloped towards his own house in the east of the city.

At six o'clock, Shenyang City had already bid farewell to the night, and the citizens who had long been frightened by the noise of last night's guns and cannons walked out of their homes as soon as the sky was bright.

When they learned the exciting news of the victory of the city defense army and the defeat of the Yue army, the whole city fell into a carnival.

Zhang Xinghan led several cavalry bloodied horses into the streets of Shenyang, which immediately attracted the attention of countless citizens in the carnival.

Looking at Zhang Xinghan, who was bleeding through his clothes, and several cavalry soldiers behind him rode into the city, the people in the carnival quieted down.

Eyes brushed on Zhang Xinghan and his party, the street was densely crowded, Zhang Xinghan was afraid of hurting the people, so he tightened the reins and slowed down.

Seeing this, the people took the initiative to give way sideways, and wherever Zhang Xinghan and his subordinates went, they were unimpeded.

"What kind of army are they? Why is there blood all over your body? On a corner on both sides of the street, a group of middle-aged people were talking.

"Did you see the leader, he is Zhang Xinghan, the acting commander of our Shenyang City Defense Army, last night he took the city defense army and Xiao Yuben to fight, and the little devil he killed was bleeding like a river, and he fled in defeat." An insightful young student pointed to Zhang Xinghan riding by.

"How do you know?" Several middle-aged people turned their heads to look at him.

"Several of our classmates have participated in the city defense army, and when we went to the labor army, we were fortunate to meet Commander Zhang." The young student said proudly.

"Then this Commander Zhang is really young, and he fucking has a seed, and he is doing it with a real knife and a real gun." A middle-aged man looked appreciatively at Zhang Xinghan in the distance.

"Yes, the young marshal didn't dare to fight with Xiao Yueben for hundreds of thousands of horses, and even the big marshal was killed." Another middle-aged man nodded and sighed.

"Commander Zhang is good! Well done city defense army! It's all guys with handles! The middle-aged man waved his arms a little excitedly and said loudly.

When the other citizens saw that someone was taking the lead, they had already wanted to say something, and they shouted in unison.

In the end, the slogan was directly changed to "Long live Zhang Xinghan, long live the city defense army." ”

Zhang Xinghan listened to the shouts of thousands of citizens in unison, was deeply moved, turned his head, brushed the ground and pulled out his war knife full of the blood of Yukou, and raised it suddenly.

The people who were shouting in unison just now were suddenly silent, and the silence of the needle drop could be heard.

Zhang Xinghan held his sword and looked around, then he said loudly in a loud voice: "Please rest assured that the fathers and elders of the city!" The sword is in the people, and the people are in the city! If Kou dares to invade again, Zhang will use the knife in his hand to cut off their heads. In a word, with me Zhang Xinghan and the city defense army, Shenyang is safe! ”

After saying that, Zhang Xinghan skillfully inserted the war knife back into the scabbard, pulled the reins, and the war horse neighed, spreading its four hooves and galloping towards the east of the city.

It wasn't until Zhang Xinghan and a few of his subordinates rushed away that the citizens at the scene came back to their senses and began to raise their arms excitedly and shout: "Long live Commander Zhang!" Long live the city defense forces! ”

In the cheers of the citizens, Zhang Xinghan and several subordinates rushed to the gate of his house.

At this time, the door of Zhang's house had been opened, and Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping had already heard the sound accompanied by Wang Ruoying.

Zhang Xinghan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said, "Daddy, I'm back." ”

"Okay, it's good to be back." Zhang Yuxi said with a tearful smile.

Wang Ruoying hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Xinghan, looked at his blood-stained military uniform distressedly, and said with concern: "Are you injured?" ”

"No, these are the blood of Xiao Yuben." Zhang Xinghan said with a smile.

"Won this time?" Zhang's mother Liu Liping asked.

"Well, this time I completely defeated the Kwantung Army, and I won a lot, and Shenyang was safe in a short time." Zhang Xinghan said.

"Okay, let's go into the house quickly, Xinghan, you can also wash and change clothes." Zhang Yuxi wiped a handful of tears and beckoned.

"No, Dad, I still have military affairs with me, so I will come to the house to report your safety, and after I am busy with the urgent military affairs at hand, I will come back to have dinner with you in the evening." Zhang Xinghan said, and wanted to turn around.

"Hey, wait a minute." Wang Ruoying stopped him.

"What's the matter? Ruoying. Zhang Xinghan turned his head and asked.

"How's my dad doing?" Wang Ruoying asked.

"He should be in Jinzhou now, everything is fine, don't worry." Zhang Xinghan thought for a moment.

"I'm leaving." Zhang Xinghan turned over and wanted to leave.

"Xinghan, pay attention to safety." Zhang Yuxi and Liu Liping instructed uneasily.

"Don't worry." Zhang Xinghan's voice came, and the man had already galloped away.

…………………………

After returning to the city defense commander, Liu Jianguo and the others had already cleaned up the battlefield and all arrived.

"Commander here!" With a loud shout from the guards, Liu Jianguo and the others got up one after another, and their eyes invariably cast their eyes towards the door.

Zhang Xinghan hurriedly took a shower, changed into a clean military uniform, and strode in.

"Sit down." After Zhang Xinghan came in, he waved at them.

After everyone sat down, Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette and asked, "Jianguo, how are the casualties of each regiment?" ”

"Commander, according to statistics, the losses of our city defense army are as follows, a regiment suffered the largest casualties, wounded about 600 people, and sacrificed more than 400, more than half of the casualties.

The 2nd Regiment suffered 231 casualties and 412 wounded.

The three regiments suffered slightly fewer casualties, eighty-nine killed and one hundred and twenty wounded, while the cavalry company lost thirty-two wounded, and almost all the rest were wounded.

By the way, there is also the airport garrison battalion, and their casualties are not small, with more than 200 casualties.

In this battle, our army lost more than 900 people and wounded more than 1,200 people, accounting for more than a quarter of the total number of our army.

Moreover, of the more than 1,200 wounded soldiers, no more than half can fully recover and demobilize, that is to say, we have lost more than 1,500 people in this battle, and plus the previous casualties, it is more than 2,000 people. Liu Jianguo said.

"So much?" Zhang Xinghan's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, it seems that his weapons and equipment are still not advanced enough, and under such circumstances, the army can still cause such a large number of casualties to his troops.

If you can have more advanced weapons and equipment, then this kind of battle damage will definitely improve.

Not to mention that if you equip all the cavalry with submachine guns, then in close combat, you can only pull the trigger to inflict a lot of casualties on the army.

If you had a sufficient number of tanks and armored vehicles, you might not have to charge with cavalry and infantry.

They just need to follow behind the armored forces to pick up Guala.

"By the way, two pilots of the air force also died tragically." Liu Jianguo suddenly added.

"What? How could anyone die in the air force? At this time, Zhang Xinghan didn't know that last night, the old devil Itagaki Seishiro, took a reckless step and launched another attack on the airport with a partial division when the main force was defeated, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Last night, after the main force of the first regiment and the garrison battalion defeated the main force of the Yue army and took advantage of the situation to launch a pursuit, another army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the position of our regiment and a battalion, and the situation was extremely critical.

However, the devil was unwilling to defeat and used poison gas bombs on our troops at the airport, and two pilots unfortunately died. Liu Jianguo said sadly.

"Ugh." Zhang Xinghan also talked regretfully, as an A-level special forces, no one knows better than him how much cost and time it takes to train a pilot.

Especially at this time, China, which has a backward level of science and technology and a lack of human and material resources.

The cost of training two pilots is exaggerated enough to train a company of infantry.

"The order is to go down and bury all the brothers who have died, and the wounded brothers must be rescued with all their might, at all costs." After Zhang Xinghan finished the order, he waved his hand and said: "Let's dismiss the meeting first if there is nothing to do, and go to visit the wounded soldiers of our own department more often to appease and inspire the morale of the army." ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo and the others got up at the same time to answer, and then turned around and dispersed.

After everyone left, Liu Jianguo suddenly went back and forth, and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Yingzuo, we have achieved such a great victory, do you want to report the victory to the young marshal or the Nanjing political axe?" ”

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and said: "Well, thanks to you for reminding me, although the young marshal has now secretly broken with us, this good news will still be sent, and the brothers should get their due commendation and praise from the people. ”

"Yes, I'll do it right away." Liu Jianguo stepped forward again and saluted, and then left as ordered.
