At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xinghan gave an order. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The 1st, 4th, and 10th motorized infantry divisions of the Northeast New Army, with nearly 40,000 officers and soldiers, launched a full-scale general attack on Yingkou City.

After a half-day of air raids, bombardment, and artillery bombardment, the Japanese troops who retreated to Yingkou City last night suffered heavy losses.

The most important thing is that it has been more than 10 days since they landed in Yingkou, and although a lot of food has been looted from Yingkou City, the ammunition they carry has almost been exhausted after a terrible battle last night.

Coupled with low morale, the disparity in strength is too great.

&nbs [pig] [pig] [island] novel; Therefore, the general offensive of the Northeast New Army went very smoothly, and all regiments made full efforts to attack, and by the evening, the remnants of the Japanese army in the city had been basically wiped out.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the battle was completely over, and Zhang Xinghan ordered all troops to clean up the battlefield, rest in place, and prepare to continue south.

In the headquarters in the east of the city, Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others were gathering for dinner, and after a small victory, there was still a drop of land left in Dalian on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Zhang Xinghan and his subordinates were very happy, and for so long, they had a lot of hard work in commanding operations for a long time.

Zhang Xinghan gave permission to the cooking class to bring them a few bottles of seized Japanese sake and stir-fry a few simple side dishes.

It can be regarded as adding extra meals, comforting Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Huang Xiansheng picked up the wine cup and took a sip and said, "Commander, can we attack Dalian next?" ”

"Yes, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will set off and march to Dalian." Zhang Xinghan replied with a smile.

"Commander, there is something I must say." Huang Xian said.

"Brother Alarm Bell, please speak." Zhang Xinghan gestured.

"Our divisions have been with the little devils for a long time, and the officers and men of the troops are exhausted.

Moreover, the city of Dalian is high and deep, especially the Lushun Military Port Fortress, which Lao Maozi can start to build before. Later, after the Japanese took over, it has been improved day by day, and now it can definitely be called impregnable.

This point cannot be compared with Shenyang, Changchun, or Jinzhou.

And the strength of the Japanese army is not much more than ours. Huang Xian said.

"The chief of staff told me this last night." Zhang Xinghan took a glass of wine and drank it all, paused and said: "It is difficult to attack Dalian, but we must fight this battle."

And to fight at all costs, so, before the end of this battle. I think first of all, we as commanders should have confidence and not be overly pessimistic.

Today, we soldiers shoulder the duty of defending the country and defending territory and sovereignty.

Even if there is a big difficulty, we must be strong in the face and work hard to overcome it.

In a word, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, only death!

Only with such an attitude and determination can we affirm it. Only then will we be able to win the battle of Dalian.

There is no fortress in this world that cannot be attacked, as long as we are united and not afraid of life and death, victory will definitely belong to us. ”

"The commander is right. A soldier must have the spirit of never being afraid of fighting, not afraid of life and death, and always fearing the head and the tail. It is impossible to win a battle if you are cowardly before you fight. Liu Jianguo immediately spoke.

Zhang Xinghan couldn't get off the stage in order to prevent Huang Xiansheng from getting off the stage, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Don't mention the military tonight." Let's only talk about brotherhood, only drink, come! ”

"!" Jiang Baili, Huang Xiansheng and others followed one after another.

……………………

Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan woke up early as usual, but he drank a little too much last night and his head was a little groggy.

I washed my face with cold water, and I felt much better, after breakfast.

Zhang Xinghan ordered the troops to be drawn out, and at the same time sent a telegram to Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Yizhe, and Gao Chu, ordering them to lead the army first and march to Jinzhou, a periphery of Dalian.

At the same time, the Third Flying Regiment, which was deployed in North Manchuria, was secretly transferred to the south to prepare to concentrate all air forces to participate in the attack on Dalian.

……………………

Dalian Lushun, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese invasion of China.

Okamura Ninji changed into a clean general's uniform and came to attend an emergency military meeting presided over by Commander Hishikari Takashi with a general's sword on his shoulder.

In addition to Chief of Staff Kuniaki Koiso, the meeting was attended by the commanders of various divisions, including the commanders of the 106th and 114th Divisions, who fought side by side with Okamura Ninji at Yingkou, Kentaro Kuroto and Nakajimamura.

Okamura Ninji was not the first to arrive, many of the generals had already taught him to arrive before, and he didn't talk to them too much, but came to his place.

Unlike the other division commanders, who were talking and talking, Okamura sat upright without squinting, waiting for the arrival of Commander Takashi Hishigari.

"Your Excellency the General has arrived!" A loud voice rang out.

Including Okamura Ninji, the seven or eight commanders of the Japanese division and the chief of staff present stood up one after another.

Ryokarataka, an old devil with a saber on his shoulder and shiny boots, strode in with his head held high, accompanied by an attendant adjutant.

A number of Japanese officers, including Okamura Ninji, saluted.

Ryokari came to the first place, and after saluting in return, he waved his hand with a serious expression and signaled, "Please take a seat." ”

After everyone sat down, Ling Karu looked at the subordinates present and said, "Generals, the Northeast New Army of the Zhang Xinghan Department of the Chinese Resistance Army has captured Yingkou at ten o'clock last night.

The imperial army in the inner hall of Yingkou City was shattered, and now, the Zhina army has left Yingkou and is gathering towards Dalian.

Its strategic purpose is very clear, that is, to try to capture Dalian and even the fortress of Lushun.

Before I came to the meeting, I had just exchanged a telegram with the base camp, and the base camp asked us to hold Dalian and Lushun Fortress at all costs.

Defend the last overseas base in Manchuria for the imperial army. ”

Ryokari paused and said, "Next, please ask the generals to express their opinions, and if you have any good defense plans, you can put them forward." ”

Okamura Ninji suddenly got up and said, "Report to Your Excellency General, here is a set of defensive battle plans that were rushed overnight, including specific troop deployment and how to defend the battle plan. ”

With that, Okamura Ninji took out a document and handed it to Takashi Hishikaru.

Ryokari took it, opened the letter suspiciously, and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and finally nodded happily with a look of appreciation: "Yo Xi, Okamura-kun." You made all of this overnight? ”

"Yes General." Okamura Ninji bowed his head respectfully.

"The deployment of troops is even meticulous to the squadron, and Okamura-kun is really hard." Ryokari said appreciatively.

"That's what a lowly job should do." Okamura Ninji bowed his head and said.

"This defensive battle plan, I will immediately study and consider it, if it is indeed feasible, then the Dalian defensive battle will be carried out in accordance with Okamura-kun's battle plan." Ryokarataka Road.

……………………

In the morning, the scorching sun was scorching, and the road from Wafangdian to Dalian along both sides of the railway line was on.

The convoy of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 2nd, 3rd, and 9th divisions of the Northeast New Army stretched for several kilometers.

Due to the lack of vehicles, many soldiers had to march on foot. Carrying machine guns weighing more than a dozen pounds, some soldiers were already sweating profusely.

"Brothers, cheer up, Dalian is ahead, that is our natural ice-free port in the northeast, it has been occupied by Lao Maozi and Xiao Devil for many years, it is time for it to return to the embrace of the motherland." Some junior officers, who were students, began to cheer up their subordinates.

"Brother Dingfang, what do you think of this attack on Dalian?" On a military jeep. Zhao Zhenfan turned his head to Wang Yizhe and asked.

"It's going to be a tough battle." Wang Yizhe said bluntly: "The enemy and us are evenly matched, and our army has a slight advantage in strength, and after these months of fierce fighting, the morale has been depleted. It can be said that it is already negligible. ”

"So, Brother Dingfang is not optimistic?" Zhao Zhenfan asked.

"It's not that we are not optimistic, but the situation is true, and Dalian is very important to us. It is also important for the Japanese.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Kwantung Army has reached the point where there is no way to retreat, and it will definitely fight to the death with all its might. Therefore, the battle of Dalian is bound to be a tragic battle.

To be honest, the outcome is unpredictable. Wang Yizhe said.

"Brother Ding Fang, I don't think so, first of all, our army has absolute superiority in the air force, artillery and tank armored forces.

The individual weapons are also completely ahead of the Japanese army, and I believe that we will be able to take Dalian and completely recover our natural ice-free port. "Zhao Zhenfan said.

"That's right, the Battle of Shenyang, and even the Battle of Tongliao, our army was at a disadvantage in strength at that time, and in the end, didn't it also win the war by being outnumbered." Wang Yizhe nodded and agreed: "I hope we can fulfill the long-cherished wish that generations of Chinese people have not been able to fulfill, recover Dalian, and restore my whole Liao!" ”

"It will work." Zhao Zhenfan said with a confident smile.

"Yes, it will work." Wang Yizhe also nodded.

…………………………

Vladivostok, command of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army.

A Soviet colonel walked into the commander Vasily. Konstantinovich. Blyukhel's office.

The salute reported: "Dear Comrade Commander. ”

"Comrade Reeves, is there anything going on?" Blyukhel asked as he put down the papers in his hand and looked up.

"According to the report of our agents lurking in Beimanchuria, the Northeast Army Air Force stationed in the Jiamusi area suddenly took off one after another in the morning and has not yet returned.

Humble speculated that they might well have been transferred elsewhere. The colonel named Reeves replied respectfully.

"Oh? Where will the Chinese transfer them? Blyukhel wondered.

"If nothing else, I think it should be the South Manchurian front." Reeves Road.

"Oh? Let's talk about the current situation in the South Manchurian region. "Blyukhel came to be interested.

Zhang Xueliang had led his troops out of the pass a few days ago in an attempt to join forces with the Japanese to defeat the Northeast New Army, but unfortunately, in less than five days, his troops were defeated by Zhang Xinghan and retreated to the pass in disgrace.

At present, Zhang Xinghan has no worries, and the Japanese have also given up Yingkou and reduced their forces to prepare to hold Dalian.

Under Zhang Xinghan's instructions, the Northeast New Army has been advancing towards Dalian one after another.

Therefore, a fierce battle between the two sides is about to break out in Dalian in the near future. Reeves said. (To be continued......)
