While Ge Quanwu continued to advance under the cover of his own tanks, the rest of the 2nd and 4th Divisions of Reading Force were almost in line with him.

He said that he lacked effective anti-tank weapons, and under the close cooperation of the infantry and tanks of the Northeast New Army, he was defeated one after another, and the defense line in the city was lost one after another.

In the whole city of Shenyang, the situation is very good.

At the same time, the fierce battle in the south of Shenyang also reached the last moment.

Under the onslaught of nearly two divisions of the Western Route Army, the main force of the army, which had been exhausted, could no longer hold on.

After losing a large number of living forces, the army finally collapsed in the last onslaught of the 3rd Division, and withdrew along the trenches and into the imperial city.

Thousands of new officers and soldiers in the northeast took advantage of the situation to attack on all fronts, crossed trenches one after another, and pursued them all the way to the gate of the city.

At this time, the first Chinese army to withdraw into the city had already set up a lot of machine guns on the city.

Condescendingly, he suddenly opened fire, and the new officers and soldiers in the pursuing Northeast suddenly fell in a pool of blood one after another.

Liu Zhenhu, deputy division commander and commander of the first regiment who went to the front enemy to direct and organize the attack, was dumbfounded when he saw this, and immediately shouted: "Artillery! Artillery! Blow up the light and heavy machine guns on the city for me, quick! ”

The adjutant hurriedly took the order to leave, and soon notified the artillery directly under several infantry battalions to start shelling the city.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Shells fell into the city and the city, and the devil's light and heavy machine guns and guns were blown out of the city.

The devil soldiers who had just retreated into the city were also blown up and suffered heavy casualties.

Under the cover of artillery, dozens of Northeast New Army troops quickly approached the city gate and fired fiercely with semi-automatic rifles, flower traps and machine guns.

Sweep down a large number of devil soldiers who have just retreated into the city and have not yet entered the fortifications.

The devils had already built barricades in the city, and several light and heavy machine guns opened fire one after another, trying to block the entrance of the city gate with firepower.

The dozens of Northeast New Army troops who took the lead had already rushed to a very close distance, and after the first few comrades fell, the two soldiers in the back each took a German-style wooden-handled grenade from their waists.

After skillfully and quickly unscrewing the back cover and pulling the fuse, he threw it forward with all his might.

Almost at the same time as they threw the grenades, a burst of devil heavy machine gun bullets hit them one after another.

Their bodies were stunned, and then they knelt forward with unwilling faces.

"Boom ......" two grenades were accurately thrown into the devil's ring fortifications, and a violent explosion suddenly occurred.

Seven or eight devil machine gunners were killed instantly.

The soldiers of the New Army in the back did not have time to care about the lives of their comrades, they had already killed them with red eyes, roared one by one, and rushed forward while firing fiercely with their guns.

As they rushed into the city, opening the way with swift and heavy fire, more and more soldiers poured into the city like a tidal wave, and they all crossed the ring barricades of the devils, when dozens of soldiers who rushed to the front were almost dead and wounded.

They took over the task of the commandos, concentrating their submachine guns and machine guns and continuing to charge down the streets with heavy fire.

The other troops entering the city also quickly dispersed and began to advance along every street.

Every time they passed through a narrow alley, they did not stupidly carry their guns into it like the soldiers in later movies, but directly untied a few grenades and threw them in.

After a violent explosion, the ghost soldiers who were basically hiding inside were either killed or injured.

When encountering a blockade by the devil's machine guns, the infantry will stop charging and call for tank and artillery support in the rear.

Taking advantage of the advantages of armored tanks, combat vehicles and artillery fire, they cleared the obstacles in the city one by one and gradually advanced towards the center of the city.

…………………… In the Beida camp, Zhang Xinghan was sitting at the conference table smoking non-stop, and Chief of Staff Zhao Zhenfan and several staff officers were discussing something in a low voice in front of the map.

Everyone was waiting for news of the attacking troops.

Suddenly, the silence of the conference room was shattered by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Including Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others all turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see a communication soldier walking in quickly, saluting Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili and saying: "Report, commander, chief of staff, the Western Route Army has captured the southern position of the Yue Army, and now it has entered the city, and at present, all divisions and regiments of our army are trying their best to attack, while clearing the remnants of the occupied area, while squeezing the remaining main force of the Yue Kou into the center of the city!" ”

"Where are all the troops fighting now" Zhang Xinghan extinguished the cigarette butt when he heard this, got up and walked to Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili combined the latest battle report on the map, and roughly marked the situation between the two sides in the city.

After reading it, Zhang Xinghan immediately said: "This battle cannot be so big, now the occupied areas of our divisions and regiments are almost connected, and the Yue army is also forced to move closer to the middle, so if this continues, in the end, the Yue army will be able to gather considerable forces to resist stubbornly, and it will definitely fall into a tragic offensive and defensive battle with us." ”

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and said, "Order all divisions to immediately dispatch elite small units to attack and detour by separate routes, don't care about the devils in front, give me all to go deep into the rear of the devils, and divide and surround the devils in Shenyang City as much as possible, and annihilate them one by one!" ”

"Now that we have the advantage of troops, the more the situation between the enemy and us is staggered, the more beneficial it will be for us, after all, we can't drag on in Shenyang for too long, otherwise the pressure on Fushun will be aggravated!"

"Well, the sooner the better, to deal with the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible." Jiang Baili nodded happily in agreement.

After the signal soldier quickly finished recording, he saluted and turned and walked away quickly.

…………………… In Shenyang, after receiving Zhang Xinghan's order, the five infantry divisions organized elite troops and began to infiltrate and harass the rear of the army in company and platoon.

Although the small units were ambushed by the small units from time to time, they also posed a great threat to the troops.

It did not dare to retreat with confidence, and there were gunshots everywhere in the dark night, and the devil soldiers had no choice but to fight to the death in the occupied areas and not retreat, and to confront the frontal troops of the Northeast New Army.

As a result, the rate of casualties of the Yue army suddenly doubled.

After fierce fighting until dawn, more than half of the 40,000 or 50,000 troops left behind had been killed or wounded, and the rest were also divided into several pieces by several divisions of the Northeast New Army, and the connection between them was completely cut off, and they fell into a dangerous situation of fighting on their own.

In the early morning, in Beidaying, Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili stayed awake almost all night.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhang Xinghan couldn't stand it, so he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair for a while.

Suddenly, he woke up without being alarmed, listened to the gunfire seemed to have weakened, raised his head and asked, "Chief of Staff, how is it in Shenyang City?" Has the army been completely annihilated? ”

"No, at present, the army in the city has been scattered and surrounded by our army in a large number of houses in the east, north and south of the city, and the communication between them has been cut off by us, and the annihilation of the whole army is a sure thing.

However, these troops are extremely stubborn in their will to resist, and if they want to be completely annihilated, it will take at least a day, or even longer. Jiang Baili said.

"How's the situation in Fushun?" Zhang Xinghan frowned and asked.

As soon as his voice fell, a communications soldier hurriedly walked in: "Report to the commander, Fushun emergency telegram." ”

"Read!" Zhang Xinghan raised his hand to signal.

"The army has been anxious, after the early morning, has been organized no less than 20 fierce attacks, almost never stopped, our defenders have suffered heavy casualties, just now fortunately the air force reinforcements, can still hold on now, but in order to avoid casualties continue to expand, please the commander as soon as possible to join our troops to encircle the army outside Fushun City, it will be wiped out in one fell swoop, Huang Xiansheng, commander of the 1st Division."

After Zhang Xinghan heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he muttered for a while, and said: "Let all divisions and regiments carefully report to me the specific location and area occupied by the remnants of the army in Shenyang City, and then immediately report it to the pilot division, and tell Gao Zhihang to dispatch all bombers to carry out a devastating air strike on the land-occupied area."

In order to solve the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible, the main force quickly marched eastward to encircle Fushun! ”

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Jiang Baili happily agreed, and turned around and left with the signal soldiers.

About half an hour later, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang personally led 80 HE111 medium bombers and 70 Stuka dive bombers to fly over Shenyang.

Depending on the directions provided by the ground forces, a large-scale bombardment began.

In just 10 minutes, the entire city of Shenyang was shrouded in smoke and flames, and nearly 200 bombers dropped nearly 1 million kilograms of aerial bombs of various calibers.

In the area occupied by the army, after the smoke and flames dissipated, there was not a single intact building, and all the buildings were razed to the ground.

The fate of the devil soldiers hiding inside can be imagined.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the people in Shenyang had already evacuated, leaving only misers and traitors.

It will not cause a large number of civilian casualties, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Xinghan temporarily decided to carry out a bombing campaign to destroy the surname.

When the bombing was over, the divisions of the Northeast New Army on the ground almost swarmed up, but they basically became corpse collection teams.

In fact, it is not even a corpse collection team, most of the devils have been reduced to nothing in the bombing, and the bones are gone, how can some of the lucky surviving devil soldiers be able to resist the wolf-like Northeast New Army?

After some sporadic battles, the divisions basically cleared the eastern, northern, and southern parts of the city, and surrounded the headquarters where Shunroku Hata was located.

At this time, there was less than one wing of troops gathered around the headquarters of Shun Hata.

Around the headquarters, about 2,000 devil soldiers were deploying defenses, preparing for the last stubborn resistance.

In the headquarters, Shunroku Habata had already smoked out his box of cherry blossom cigarettes, and the whole person looked extremely decadent.

"General, the people of China have surrounded this place." A young man of the army also walked in with a miserable face, and saluted weakly.

"Has the last moment finally arrived?" Shunroku Hata took off his glasses and asked, "How is Noda-kun doing over there?" ”

"It's not broken yet, but it's fast!" The devil Shaozuo said.

Shunroku Hata nodded, waved at him and motioned for him to leave, then stood up and walked towards the bedroom with his sword.
