I waited for more than ten minutes, until the attack of the Yue army was completely crushed, most of the devil soldiers were burned to charred corpses, and the air was already filled with a disgusting smell of burning.

Zhang Xinghua reacted, turned his head and looked at Zhang Xinghan with a shocked expression, and asked, "Big brother, what kind of weapon are you, so powerful?" ”

"Napalm incendiary, also called napalm." Zhang Xinghan replied expressionlessly.

"Isn't it a little too cruel to use such a weapon of mass destruction?" Zhang Xinghua looked at the charred corpses everywhere and questioned.

Zhang Xinghan glanced at his younger brother and said earnestly: "Xinghua, you remember one thing for me, that is, no matter when, don't be merciful to your enemies, be merciful to your enemies, and be cruel to yourself." ”

Of course, Zhang Xinghan would not tell his younger brother that if the Yue army captured Shenyang and captured the whole of Northeast China, they would unscrupulously use live people to conduct bacterial gas experiments, and would conduct inhumane so-called scientific experiments such as [***] dissection.

Zhang Xinghua nodded as if he didn't understand.

…………………………

The headquarters of the 6th Division of the Army.

The commander of the 6th Division, Masaemon Sakamoto, and the chief of staff, Kotaro Uedanaka, anxiously awaited the results of the 11th Brigade.

In the suffocating wait, Sakamoto Masaemon began to paced back and forth with one hand on his back, and smoked cigarette after cigarette.

Finally, when Masaemon Sakamoto smoked a pack of cigarettes, a communications lieutenant rushed out of the communications room.

Sakamoto Masaemon and Ueda Naka Kotaro both focused their eyes on the communications lieutenant.

"Your Excellency General, the 11th Brigade Urgent!" The Lieutenant of Communications snapped his feet and stood up in salute.

"Hurry up!" Sakamoto Masaemon hurriedly signaled.

"The 11th Brigade urgently reported that the 47th Infantry Wing of our department was suddenly attacked by a large-scale arson and incendiary bomb attack by the Chinese people during the attack just now, and was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, and the attack was frustrated again, and the two main infantry wings of the brigade and regiment have already suffered more than half of the casualties, please give urgent tactical guidance to Your Excellency the commander." The corresponding lieutenant opened the message and read it quickly.

"What? Incendiary arson? Sakamoto Masaemon was shocked when he heard this, and immediately jumped like thunder, and scolded: "Bagaya Road, Zhang Xinghan is cunning and cunning, and I ordered to concentrate all the artillery fire of my division and regiment to immediately retaliate against Sujiatun. ”

"Hay!" The Lieutenant Commander bowed his head abruptly and left.

"General, what are we going to do next? The Chinese have massive gasoline incendiary bombs, and a forced attack will inevitably inflict extremely heavy losses on our attacking troops. Uedanaka Kotaro said with a worried face.

Sakamoto Masaemon pondered for a long time, and said in a surprising voice: "If the frontal attack is frustrated, then send a small force to take advantage of the night to make a detour and flank the rear of Sujiatun." ”

"Well, that's all we can do for now." Kotaro Uedanaka nodded.

"Order, the 11th Brigade withdrew from the attack position to replenish and rest, and the 36th Brigade took over them, and ordered the 36th Brigade to dispatch 500 elite warriors to immediately carry out a roundabout attack on the rear of Sujiatun, so as to respond to the main force of the brigade to break the enemy head-on and capture Sujiatun." Sakamoto Masaemon immediately ordered.

"Hai, I will go and give the order to the 36th Brigade in person immediately." Kotaro Uedana bowed his head in response.

…………………………

Sujiatun Railway Station.

Zhang Xinghan left the front-line trench with the first company of guards and handed over the defense to the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment.

"Guodong, the army has suffered a defeat, and it should not attack again in a short time, but you still have to be vigilant, everything has a case, you must not let the little devil take advantage of the loophole, hold on until dawn tomorrow, and I will send troops to change the guard with you." Walking towards the military truck, Zhang Xinghan did not forget to instruct Liu Guodong, who came to see him off.

"Brigade seat, in order to facilitate command, I have reduced the number of the first and second battalions and temporarily combined them into a reinforced company. As for the position, it is still the same sentence, but there is one person in the second regiment, and the little devil will not want to pass through Sujiatun. Liu Guodong swore and promised.

"Hmm." Zhang Xinghan nodded, patted Liu Guodong on the shoulder to show encouragement, and then turned around and got into the military car.

Shen Xingye commanded the officers and soldiers of the first company of the guard to also wait for the car quickly, and soon all got on the car.

The convoy started slowly, turned around and headed back towards Shenyang.

When Zhang Xinghan returned to the brigade headquarters with a company of guards, Zang Shiyi, who had just been released from prison, had been waiting for him for a long time under the "accompaniment" of Guo Zhong.

Seeing Zhang Xinghan, Zang Shiyi was a little embarrassed, and he didn't sit and stand.

Zhang Xinghan didn't care, but greeted with a smile: "Governor of Tibet, have you gone home to see Lingtang?" ”

"yes, I see." Zang Shiyi nodded hurriedly.

"Is Ling Tang in good health?" Zhang Xinghan walked into the war room and asked back.

"Thank you Brigade Commander Zhang for your concern, everything is fine with Fengjiu's mother." Zang Shiyi replied with deeper guilt in his heart.

"Governor of Tibet, you're polite." Zhang Xinghan suddenly turned around, stared at Zang Shiyi with his eyes like knives, and said: "Governor of Tibet, today Xinghan released you regardless of his previous suspicions, because of the national crisis, I need your help."

Without talking too much nonsense, Xinghan only asked the governor of Tibet to put the interests of the nation and the country first, and the hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in Shenyang City.

I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but there is one thing that the governor of Tibet can rest assured that as long as Zhang Xinghan still has a breath of air, as long as there is still a soldier in our garrison brigade, Shenyang will not be lost.

After all, there are now more than 100,000 homeless people in the city, and we can't let the people sleep on the streets at night.

As for Xinghan's disobedience to the military order of the young marshal, I just want to say that the merits and demerits of the merits and demerits will be determined later, and I hope that the governor of Tibet will think carefully and twice. ”

Zang Shiyi listened to Zhang Xinghan's heartfelt words, nodded busily, and said apologetically with a guilty face: "What Brigade Commander Zhang said is that Zang Fengjiu was confused for a while before, and almost made a big mistake, but now he has to be scolded by his mother to wake up, Brigade Commander Zhang is the barrier of Shenyang, and Zang Fengjiu will do his best to assist the commander to defend Shenyang City." ”

"Well, I believe you." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

"Without further ado, then I will first go to the city to familiarize myself with the actual number of compatriots in the lower city, and then formulate countermeasures." Zang Shiyi asked.

"Yes, but the city is now mixed, for the sake of safety, I asked Battalion Commander Guo to bring people to protect him." Zhang Xinghan said in an unquestioning tone.

"Thank you, Commander." Zang Shiyi knew in his heart, and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"By the way, you can let it go to appease the people first, you first go to the munitions warehouse of the Shenyang Arsenal to find out if there are any raincoats and other rainproof clothing and equipment, and send them to the Sujiatun garrison immediately." Zhang Xinghan suddenly remembered.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Zang Shiyi nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

After Guo Zhong got Zhang Xinghan's nod, he also followed Zang Shiyi and strode away.

……………………

Changchun is nearly 300 kilometers away from Shenyang in a straight line, when Sabuli led the cavalry regiment to bypass Changchun and enter Liaoning.

Due to the fact that the South Manchurian Railway from Siping to Tieling to Shenyang was under the control of the Kwantung Army.

With the fact that the Kwantung Army in these areas did not have many troops, Sabuli still chose to detour.

Because he knew that his task was not to recover the lost territory along these railway lines, but to rush to Shenyang as soon as possible.

Therefore, in order to avoid a fierce battle with the garrisons along the railway line and delay the speed of galloping aid, as soon as he entered the territory of Liaoning, Sabuli led the cavalry regiment to the south through Siping.

After passing through Kangping and Diaobing Mountain, it bypassed Kaiyuan and Tieling, and went straight to Shenyang.

On the dirt road from the Troop Dispatch Mountain to the Liaohe River, Sabuli and more than 1,000 cavalrymen were braving the heavy rain and marching rapidly in the direction of Shenyang.

"Drive! Drive! Sabuli took the lead, whipping his horse constantly.

The war horse galloped in pain and galloped with four hooves and couldn't stop galloping, and where it passed, water splashed and sludge splashed away.

"Commander, we've all been on the road for almost a day, so let's stop and rest." An adjutant rode up to Sabri and said loudly.

"No, if we delay for one more minute, Shenyang will be in more danger." Since there was no radio station, Sabuli didn't know that the battle situation in Changchun had changed at this time, and said with an expressionless face.

"However, the soldiers can stand it, and our war horses can't stand it, if they don't let them rest and eat, they will be exhausted to death before they run to Shenyang, and even if they are not exhausted, they will lose their strength." The adjutant persuaded bitterly.

Sabuli thought for a while and said, "Okay, pass the order, go down, rest when you get to the Liao River, and cross the river early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes!" The adjutant answered, and immediately slowed down his horse, turned his horse's head and gave the order.

…………………………

Beiping City, the residence of the young marshal.

Rong Zhen, the current chief of staff of the Northeast Army, reported to Zhang Xueliang with some excitement: "Young Marshal, Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, and Ding Chao have all been defeated by Li Guilin and Jixing, and the Yue Army has already arrived in Shenyang yesterday afternoon and launched an attack.

Li Du and the others wanted to cross Changchun to rescue Shenyang, but it was already impossible. ”

Zhang Xueliang didn't have the slightest joy, and asked rhetorically with a somewhat gloomy face: "As far as I know, the reason why Li Du and the others were defeated was because Ding Chao launched a sneak attack on them, right?" ”

"It's... It should be. Rong Zhen had a ghost in his heart and didn't dare to hide it.

"Hmph, what kind of wishful thinking is this Ding Chao doing? Could it be that he also wanted to take refuge in Yue himself, so he deliberately took the initiative to attack Li Du in order to show favor to Yue himself? Zhang Xueliang is obviously very smart, in a word.

"This humble position is not clear, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable in times of war." Rong Zhen said vaguely.

"As the saying goes, adversity sees people's hearts, and the road knows horsepower, and now that the national disaster is coming, it is clear who is loyal and who is annihilated, Zhang Xinghan is hateful for violating my military order, but Ding Chao, Jixing, Xiqia and other villains who see the wind and make the rudder are even more guilty of death!" Zhang Xueliang said with some emotion.

He looked at Rong Zhen with some displeasure and said: "Chief of Staff Rong, to be honest, I now regret adopting your previous strategy, although this prevented Li Du and them from reinforcing Shenyang, but it also created an opportunity for Jixing and Xiqia, fortunately, Feng Zhanhai is loyal and appeared in time, otherwise the situation in Jilin will become out of control." ”

Rong Zhen lowered his head a little weakly, and said, "The humble position is not well considered, please punish the young marshal." ”

"Forget it, now that Feng Zhanhai has joined, the situation in Jilin has temporarily maintained a balance, and everything is not out of my control." Zhang Xueliang waved his hand.

"Then young marshal, do you want to organize people to find a way to get rid of the two traitorous thieves Xiqia and Jixing?" Rong Zhen hurriedly asked flatteringly.

"No, Ji Xi and the others, they can be destroyed with a backhand!" Zhang Xueliang said confidently.

"Young marshal, I want to see the young marshal......" At this time, there was a noise and chaotic footsteps outside.
