readx;?“ Commander, flying a regiment of reconnaissance planes reported that a large number of the Northeast Army was moving towards our side. "At the head www.biquge.info of the west gate of Chaoyang County, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Liu Jianguo and others, was looking with great interest at the large number of Northeast Army troops who had just surrendered to Chengcheng, and a communication soldier rushed up to the city and saluted.

Zhang Xinghan put away his smile when he heard this, and turned around and said: "The telegram is empty, immediately dispatch fighters and bombers to carry out air strikes, and delay the enemy's evacuation." ”

"Yes!" The signal soldiers immediately saluted and led the order to rush down the city.

Seeing the signal troops rushing down to the city, Liu Jianguo asked incomprehensibly: "Commander, what did you mean when you just said that the air force should delay the enemy's evacuation?" ”

&nb [Pig_Pig_Island] Novel; "He Lichong and Li Shusen's troops have been wiped out, if my expectations are correct, our Young Marshal Zhang should order his reinforced troops to stop advancing and shrink and retreat, right?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a smile.

Liu Jianguo suddenly realized, and immediately patted his thigh and said: "Commander, please hand over this pursuit task to me, I will personally lead the team to pursue!" ”

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded, and did not forget to instruct: "Remember, we must cooperate closely with the air force, and take advantage of the enemy's chaos to cover up and kill, and we must not rush in, after all, our forces are limited."

Give full play to our superiority in mobility and firepower, and then do not seek to destroy the enemy, just beat them into fear, and they will be exhausted from the attack, and they will have to retreat to the pass. ”

"Yes, Commander, please rest assured, Jianguo must be careful!" Liu Jianguo stood up and saluted: "Commander, take care!" ”

"Take care!" Zhang Xinghan replied with a solemn salute.

Liu Jianguo immediately turned around and walked downstairs quickly and was ordered to leave.

Shanhaiguan, the temporary general headquarters of the Northeast Army.

Zhang Shaoshuai had just gotten out of the car, and He Zhuguo, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Young marshal!"

Zhang Xiaoliu didn't return the salute, but opened his mouth a little impatiently and asked, "How is it?" He Lichong: How are they doing now? ”

He Zhuguo and the others suddenly pale, and lowered their heads.

Zhang Shaoshuai had a sense of foreboding and asked, "What's wrong?" Say it! ”

He Zhuguo raised his head with the courage to reply quickly: "Young marshal, most of the officers and soldiers of the 7th Independent Brigade and the 22nd Brigade mutinied in front of the formation. General He Lichong committed suicide by drawing a gun, and Li Shusen became a prisoner. ”

"What?" Zhang Shaoshuai was shocked when he heard this, his face was full of disbelief, his eyes were red, he stared at He Zhuguo with red eyes, gritted his teeth, and said with a hideous face: "What did you say?" Mutiny? What the fuck is going on? ”

He Zhuguo cautiously reported the situation briefly.

Zhang Xueliang was already so angry that his face was pale, trembling all over, he had just entered the headquarters, kicked a conference table to the ground, was furious, and roared wildly: "Zhang Xinghan, Lao Tzu and you don't share the sky!" ”

"Young marshal, please calm your anger. At present, the reinforcements led by General Zhang (Zhang Zuoxiang) have arrived in the area of Jianchang County, should they be withdrawn? Calmly calculated? He Zhuguo persuaded.

"Immediately send a telegram to Uncle Fu Chen, and order him to immediately lead his troops to advance to Chaoyang, I should personally lead the follow-up troops to follow up and suppress the formation, and I will fight Zhang Xinghan to the death!" Zhang Xueliang said with a hideous expression.

"Young marshal, don't do it, now that our vanguard troops are all wiped out, the morale of all units is low, and the mood of the officers and soldiers is extremely unstable. It's really not worth fighting again! He Zhuguo hurriedly persuaded again.

Zhang Xueliang was furious, and just wanted to reprimand He Zhuguo, when a communication soldier suddenly walked in and saluted, "Young marshal." Deputy Commander Zhang sent a telegram saying that our reinforcements had been bombed by the enemy's air force under heavy air raids, and the morale of the troops had seriously dropped, and he had ordered the troops to retreat to Shanhaiguan. ”

Zhang Xueliang's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying when he heard this. He Zhuguo took the opportunity to persuade: "Young marshal, you have to be calm, our army has no air supremacy. During the day, it is easy to expose the target and invite enemy air raids and bombing.

Even if you plan to fight a decisive battle with the Northeast New Army, you have to wait until after dark to facilitate your action, and now that the main force of the enemy army is gathering in Chaoyang, Jinzhou must be empty.

He suggested that the young marshal should change the attack on Chaoyang to a surprise attack on Jinzhou, as long as Jinzhou is captured, we can attack, retreat and defend, threatening the rear of the new army in the northeast. ”

"Young Marshal, General He is reasonable, please think twice!"

"Yes, please think twice!" Chief of Staff Rong Jin and others persuaded one after another.

Liaodong Peninsula, Wafangdian battlefield.

Thanks to Zhang Xinghan's instructions, Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan commanded the troops to crack the smoke warfare method invented by the Japanese army in Yingkou, following Okamura Ningji.

With powerful firepower and tank armor, the flexible mobility and assault fire of the armored unit held the defensive line.

Repelled one attack after another by three times the size of the Japanese army.

At night, there was no threat from the air force, and the Japanese attack was especially fierce.

At the same time as the victory in the Battle of Chaoyang, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Independent Divisions of Wafangdian were also fighting bloodily against the Japanese attack.

It may be that the fight last night was too fierce, and this morning, the Japanese army did not attack again.

The battlefield of Wafangdian was rarely calm.

In the positional trench of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division, Liu Zhenhu, deputy division commander and commander of the 1st Regiment, was patrolling the position with two guards.

Everywhere he went, both injured and uninjured, they hurriedly saluted him.

Liu Zhenhu comforted them one by one, and unconsciously came to the front trench.

The fighting was most tragic in the forward trenches, where bombed stumps and severed arms were everywhere.

The bodies of many fallen soldiers have not yet had time to be carried, not because they do not want to carry them.

It was really that the officers and soldiers were too tired, and they had been fighting fiercely for days, and they who were able to survive had already seen through everything, and their hearts were numb.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the first thing they thought of was rest, and they hardly bothered to move except for eating.

However, when they saw Liu Zhenhu coming, the officers and men immediately cheered up and dragged their tired bodies to get up and salute.

"Tuanza!"

"Vice-Master!" The cries of the officers and soldiers were mixed.

Liu Zhenhu didn't care, and after returning the salute to them one by one, he said: "Brothers, everyone has worked hard, let's continue to rest." ”

The officers and men were not hypocritical, and sat back in place one after another, leaning on the trenches to rest again.

Liu Zhenhu was standing in a foxhole, and as soon as he raised his binoculars, he found that a warning post set up in front of the position had issued a warning signal.

Liu Zhenhu immediately turned his head and shouted: "The devil is going to attack again, prepare to fight!" ”

The officers and men, who were still sick just now, seemed to have recovered their spirits in an instant, got up one after another, and quickly and quickly prepared for battle.

Liu Zhenhu held up the binoculars and looked over, and he could vaguely see that a large group of Japanese troops were slowly advancing towards them in a wide line of skirmishers.

During the day, the devils did not dare to shell, because they were afraid of exposing the location of their wing-level artillery positions, and they would be retaliated by air raids or heavy artillery by the Northeast New Army.

Therefore, the offensive of the devils during the day is purely based on people, of course, large-scale artillery will not dare, and small-caliber artillery will not be less.

At this time, two guard sentries returned to the forward main trench along a narrow secret communication trench.

Liu Zhenhu immediately waved his hand at them, and when he got to the front and back, he immediately opened his mouth and asked, "Have you seen clearly, is there any abnormality between the devil this time and the past?" ”

The two sentinels shook their heads almost at the same time, and one of them said, "Returning to the regimental seat, no anomalies have been found." ”

"Alright, I see, you guys go into combat positions." Liu Zhenhu waved his hand at them.

After the two sentries dispersed, Liu Zhenhu raised the telescope uneasily, looking at the devil's attack formation as before, Liu Zhenhu muttered to himself: "The little devil held back for a long time and held back such a fart?" Why don't I think it's that simple? ”

As the devil advanced, a second lieutenant officer not far from the trench suddenly said in surprise: "Tuanzao, look, there seems to be a situation behind the devil." ”

Liu Zhenhu hurriedly looked around, only to see several balloon-like things suddenly rising in the direction of the Japanese army's sortie position.

Although Liu Zhenhu has been to the Northeast Lecture Hall, he has never been in contact with military hot air balloons.

"Little devil, what do you want to do?" Liu Zhenhu was puzzled.

"Tuanza, what is this little devil? It's like a balloon. The second lieutenant platoon commander not far away also wondered.

"Why don't we take it down with a machine gun?" A machine gunner next to the second lieutenant platoon commander asked tentatively.

Liu Zhenhu observed it carefully and said, "You don't have to waste ammunition, it's too far away, it's hard to hit." ”

Just as he finished speaking, a shrill whistling sound suddenly came from the sky.

Soon, as the distance approached, Liu Zhenhu, who was holding the telescope, suddenly changed his face drastically, and immediately roared in a miserable voice: "Quick, lie down!" Lie down! (To be continued......)
