Outside the south gate of Songyuan City, under the personal leadership of Zhang Xinghan, more than a dozen cavalrymen who can shoot artillery are shelling the south gate with several 60 mortars.

After a muffled sound, a number ......of shells whistled towards the south gate under the coercion of fire.

However, all the shells hit the walls and the head of the city and exploded.

The reason why the accuracy is so poor is, of course, deliberate by Zhang Xinghan.

He didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties to the innocent people in the city because of these puppet soldiers.

The reason why artillery was used was not to break through the city defense of the 28th Brigade of Reading Force, but to deter the defenders and force Ding Chao to lead his troops to abandon the city and flee.

As for the origin of several 60mm mortars, Sabri, who was already occupied by anger, did not think to ask.

As for the other ordinary soldiers, they only have the share of carrying out orders, where did the weapons and equipment come from, this is obviously not qualified for them to ask.

After five rounds of volleys, under the instruction of Zhang Xinghan, the artillerymen stopped shelling, and a soldier with a loud voice was sent out, pulling his voice and shouting loudly to the head of the South Gate City: "Listen to the puppet army in the city, we are saving [***] reading power masters, our division seat for the sake of you are still Chinese, do not want Songyuan to shed blood, immediately lay down the weapon, go out of the city to surrender, accept the adaptation, otherwise, we will attack the city, after breaking the city, it will be too late to surrender." ”

Before the smoke of gunpowder cleared and the fire was not extinguished, the panicked puppet soldiers suddenly thought of the shouting outside the city, and immediately scratched.

At this time, Ding Chao arrived with his adjutant and a group of guards.

The psychological offensive outside the city was still continuing, and after listening to it, the adjutant said to Ding Chao with a miserable face: "Luzao, what should we do?" Surrender or let's surrender. ”

"Shut up the fuck, you pig brain, didn't you hear that Zhang Xinghan's troops were outside the city, this bastard never took prisoners when he fought with himself, if we surrendered, would we still be alive?" Ding Chao angrily slapped the adjutant in the face.

"But can we fight without surrendering? I heard that they still have an air force, even if we can hold it tonight, if Zhang Xinghan mobilizes the air force to bomb it at dawn, then the brothers will not be able to stop it. The adjutant covered the beaten left side of his face and said with a sad face.

The adjutant's words inadvertently reminded Ding Chao, yes, Zhang Xinghan still has the Air Force, if he is determined to attack Songyuan, he will not be able to defend it no matter what.

Surrender to Zhang Xinghan? Ding Chao didn't dare even more, knowing that Zhang Xinghan was dealing with himself's iron-blooded methods, Ding Chao shuddered.

God knows if he will be able to forgive himself for his Han annihilation behavior?

Surrendering did not dare, had no intention of resisting, Ding Chao naturally came up with the best idea, that is, to retreat.

After a long silence, he instructed his subordinates who remained at the south gate, asking him to guard the south gate no matter what.

He hurriedly evacuated the south gate with his adjutant and guards, returned to the brigade headquarters, hurriedly took some belongings, and fled to the north of the city in a hurry.

The reason why they fled to the north of the city was because more than 30 kilometers north of the city was the Nenjiang River, and the Nenjiang River basin had not yet frozen, and as long as they crossed the Nenjiang River, they would be safe.

With the north gate and some subordinates of the brigade headquarters, Ding Chao fled from the north gate in a hurry.

Just as he was about to escape at night, suddenly a piercing scream sounded in front of him, and under the surprised gaze of Ding Chao and his subordinates, one flare after another rose into the air.

Bursting out of dazzling white light, the night was illuminated as if it were day.

Immediately afterward, the deafening sound of horses' hooves galloped from far and near in front of them.

With the blazing light of the flares, Ding Chao and his puppet soldiers could clearly see the sabers that were constantly waving in the hands of the cavalry.

"Shoot, shoot!" Ding Chao said sadly.

However, his subordinates had already been frightened, and they had no intention of fighting, and they subconsciously fired machine guns, which could not stop the surging cavalry torrent at all.

The cavalry was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Sabuli, whose eyes were red, held his saber high and led his subordinates to drown Ding Chao's remnants in the cavalry torrent.

The sharp saber slashed again and again, and with the help of the sprinting power of the war horse, the heads of the puppet army were easily cut off and thrown high.

Ding Chao was also cut off by Sabuli himself, the corpse was in a different place, where the head was broken, hot and red blood shot out, spraying Sabuli's body, and the hemp god of the white war horse under his crotch was also stained red with blood.

The whole person, together with the war horse, is like a bloodthirsty killing god returning from hell, which is extraordinarily infiltrating.

Out of hatred for Ding Chao's Han annihilation, Sabuli did not order his subordinates to stop the attack after hacking Ding Chao to death.

Instead, he did not stop until all the remnants of Ding Chao who escaped from the north gate were slaughtered.

There is no other reason, if you can abandon the city and flee with Ding Chao, you must be a die-hard Han annihilation.

They are all burdened with the blood debt of thousands of officers and soldiers who have come to aid Shen, and the blood debt must be repaid by blood, and this truth will remain unchanged for eternity.

When Sabuli led the cavalry to bring Ding Chao's head outside the south gate, he was already frightened, and he didn't know how to be a good commander of the south gate, and immediately ordered his subordinates to lay down their weapons and go out of the city to surrender to the reading division.

What are you kidding, the brigade commander was cut off by someone, and he resisted a fart.

If you want to be loyal, Ding Chao left them as cannon fodder to block the attack, and he abandoned the city with his cronies and fled, abandoning them regardless of life and death, why should they remain loyal to Ding Chao.

What's more, many recruits are newly recruited by Songyuan, and they are not loyal to Ding Chao.

After easily taking Matsubara Castle, after statistics, a total of more than 1,500 puppet soldiers were captured.

Through screening, all the more than 300 people of the 28th Brigade of the original Reading Force were given two oceans as travel expenses and sent home.

The remaining recruits were all reorganized by Zhang Xinghan into the Songyuan Reading Regiment on the spot, and a cavalry battalion was left to control the situation.

Early the next morning, Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli led a cavalry battalion with Liu Cuigang and other pilots to leave Songyuan and go north along the Nenjiang River to Harbin.

After a day's rapid march, Zhang Xinghan and Sabuli led their troops to Harbin.

Zhao Zhenhe, deputy brigade commander of the 24th Brigade of Reading Li, who was left behind in Harbin, hurriedly went out of the city to greet him in person and sent a telegram to Li Du, who was still on the front line.

After entering the city, Zhao Zhenhe was very polite to Zhang Xinghan, and he warmly hosted a banquet for everyone.

At ten o'clock that night, Zhang Xinghan took Liu Cuigang and other pilots to a shop in Harbin.

This is the Harbin branch of Zhangjia Firm, and the owner is a loyal partner of Zhang's Firm.

During the time when Zhang Xinghan came to Harbin, his father Zhang Yuxi had already contacted the branch manager for him.

According to Zhang Yuxi's instructions, the branch manager found several Russian merchants in Harbin to pretend to be arms merchants who traded with the reader.

The next day, Zhang Xinghan took the pilots and part of the cavalry and the Russian businessmen to the Sino-Soviet border in Suifenhe by train of the Eastern Eastern Railway.

After arriving in Suifenhe, under the lead of the Harbin Zhangjia firm, Zhang Xinghan found the person in charge of his own firm, Suifenhe.

He secretly found a sturdy section of the road where the plane could take off, and the planes of this era were different from those of later generations.

As long as the ground is flat and smooth enough to withstand the weight of the aircraft, the aircraft will be able to take off successfully.

It doesn't matter if it's asphalt, concrete or dirt.

However, when landing, there must be a hard enough surface, otherwise it is very likely to cause damage to the plane, or even destroy the plane.

Zhang Xinghan quietly took out his watch and produced twenty-five Zero fighters from it.

He asked Liu Cuigang and other pilots to come to receive the fighters.

The BF109 is a new fighter Liu Cuigang, and they can easily master it, and the Zero fighter is naturally not a problem.

In the afternoon of the same day, as Liu Cuigang successfully flew the first Zero fighter, the test flights of the other pilots were also successful.

In terms of maximum speed, the Zero is slightly inferior to the BF109, the maximum speed is close to 600 kilometers per hour, but the difference is not much, and the longitudinal is also simpler, and soon Liu Cuigang was ordered to lead the other 24 pilots to fly all the Zero fighters back to Tongliao.

Zhang Xinghan, several cavalrymen, and the person in charge of his own Harbin business took the train back to Harbin in the evening of the same day.

After nearly two hours of flight, they successfully flew to Tongliao Airport, and with the help of ground staff, they refilled with fuel.

Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang were ordered by Zhang Xinghan to personally lead the team and fly 25 Zero, 30 HE111 medium bombers, and 20 Stuka dive bombers.

Fly towards the Lushun Military Port.

Tongliao is more than 530 kilometers away from Dalian Lushun in a straight line, and according to the maximum flight speed of the Zero type, it will not take an hour to arrive.

However, in order to protect the slower bombers, the pilots of the Zero lowered their speed.

After about an hour and a half of flight, the mixed fleet of the Reading Force Masters flew over Dalian.

In an instant, the piercing air defense sirens sounded one after another in Dalian and Lushun Military Port.

As well as the tens of thousands of Japanese troops and a large number of Dalian citizens who had gathered ashore, the overseas Chinese businessmen and merchants of the country were all in a panic.

Dozens of Type 92 fighters of the first batch of more than 100 planes deployed at the Dalian airfield with tens of thousands of reinforcements had just landed on the mainland, and hurriedly took off to intercept them.

Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang each led more than a dozen fighters and gladly met the enemy.

Although they are both airplanes, the gap between the two sides is a full ten years, a whole generation.

Regardless of speed, firepower climb capability, turning radius, the Zero completely blasts all military aircraft.

The result of such a battle can be imagined, as one plane after another was shot down and exploded.

Other pilots flew bombers to the anti-aircraft fire point and the military port, which was busy.

Stuka dive bombers dealt with the anti-aircraft fire points of the Japanese army, and the HE111 bomber group flew over the docks of Arthur Military Port in the sky.

The magazine opened, and heavy bombs began to fall one after another.

The shrill and piercing sound of bombs began to resound over the Port of Arthur.
