In the city of Shenyang, the rumbling artillery and violent explosions of the Beidaying enveloped the entire Shenyang, including the headquarters of the Japanese army.

In the army headquarters, Shunroku Hata had an extremely solemn face, and from time to time, staff officers reported the latest battle losses on the front line to him.

"General, the air raids and artillery bombardment of the people of China continues, a wing of the Beida Battalion has lost more than a third, and the second-line troops are in place and can be reinforced at any time." Noda Bugu, chief of staff of the 14th Division, reported to him.

Hata Shunroku lightly raised his forehead, held the command knife in one hand, and said to Noda Bugu: "Noda-kun, accompany me to the north gate of Shenyang to have a look." ”

"General, it's not right, the Chinese Air Force may attack at any time, and it is very dangerous to go to the north gate." Noda Bugu hurriedly persuaded.

Shunroku Hata waved his hand: "It's okay, you and I are around and the agents of my people, don't worry." ”

Noda Bugu couldn't persuade him, so he had to follow Shunroku Hata, escorted by a group of guards, to the north gate of Shenyang.

At this time, the artillery bombardment and bombardment of the Northeast New Army continued, and standing on the north gate of Shenyang, one could clearly see that the direction of Beidaying, which was more than ten miles away, was already in flames and thick smoke.

"Baga Yalu, I haven't seen you for half a year, Zhang Xinghan's troops have become so powerful?!" Shunroku Hata couldn't help but scold.

"General, I think we can call the air force stationed in Dalian to give some air support, at least to hit the unscrupulous artillery of the Chinese army." Noda Bugu said with a worried face.

"The aviation of the Chinese people occupies absolute air superiority, and our air force cannot attack unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous once it leaves the protection of the Dalian air defense fire circle." Shunroku Hata said with a frown.

"Can't you attack?" Noda Bugu was a little disappointed.

"The number of fighters of the Chinese people has obviously increased a lot compared with more than half a year ago, and they can be seen almost everywhere during the day, constantly attacking the defense line, transportation arteries and transportation lines of the imperial army, so our air force is not a last resort, and Commander Muto is reluctant to order them out." Shunroku Hata sighed with some regret.

Noda Bugu was shocked when he heard this, and Shunroku Hatahata couldn't have understood it all too well when it came to this.

It's not that one's own air force can't come out, but as soon as it comes out, it is possible to encounter the air force fighters of the Northeast New Army, and once the two sides do, they will encounter.

There is only one fate for your own fighters, and that is to be shot down.

Suddenly, a deafening shouting sound came from the front of the Beida camp, which had replaced the violent explosion and air raid just now.

Shunroku Hatata, Buya Noda and others hurriedly raised their binoculars to find out, but the entire camp was shrouded in gunsmoke, and their vision was completely blocked, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

"General, the people of China are attacking." Noda Bugu Haruka refers to Kitadaying Road.

Shunroku Hata nodded noncommittally.

……………… On the battlefield of Beidaying, thousands of new officers and men in the northeast took advantage of the extension of their artillery fire to launch an attack on the position of the army filled with smoke and dust.

The attack was also coordinated by dozens of Panzer Division IV tanks and bridge-building tanks.

With the help of the bridge-building tanks, the devil's anti-tank trenches and barbed wire, which had been blown up and collapsed, were completely ineffective.

The officers and men of the Northeast New Army poured over like a tide.

At this time, the smoke had not yet cleared, and the view was completely blocked.

Some of the surviving devils shot blindly based on the shouts of the new officers and soldiers in the northeast.

The accuracy is not without saying anything, and the intensity of the firepower is also greatly reduced.

It is simply not enough to stop the tide of the Northeast New Army.

Just when nearly 2,000 officers and men of a regiment of the 2nd Division of Reading Force were almost all poured into the position.

Thousands of devil reinforcements from the rear of the Beida camp arrived.

The two sides rushed almost to within 100 meters before they discovered each other, and immediately the fire of the infantry and the infantry broke out.

The Beida Battalion, which had just calmed down for a while, burst into gunfire again.

"Dada...... Bang bang bang ......" In the dense gunfire, from time to time, soldiers on both sides were shot and fell, and dozens of tanks attacking with the army immediately opened fire.

The shells fell into the crowd of devils, and immediately exploded the flesh and blood of the devils, killing and injuring a large number of people.

However, the devil's reinforcements numbered in the thousands, and they were pouring in like a tide behind the defensive line, which was more than a kilometer wide.

The officers and men of a regiment of the 2nd Reading Division lay down one after another, leaning on the ruins of the destroyed Devil's Bunker Group, setting up machine guns and starting to fire fiercely.

There are more and more devil soldiers, and dense bullets are pouring back and forth like raindrops, so close to the firepower, even if the Northeast New Army has an absolute firepower advantage.

Casualties on both sides also rose sharply.

After more than half an hour of firefighting, although the army suffered heavy casualties, it did not retreat at all.

In order to avoid further casualties among the troops, Zhang Xinghan ordered Zhao Zhenfan to withdraw the attacking troops.

Without him, he has absolute artillery and aerial firepower, and it is impossible to leave it alone, but instead use his own limited forces that do not have an advantage to fight to the death.

With the withdrawal of the 2nd Division, the devils immediately recaptured and occupied the position of Beidaying.

However, they were greeted by a powerful assault of seven artillery regiments.

Since the shooting of Zhu Yuan had already been calibrated, the first salvo fired, and more than 200 shells accurately fell on the position of the army.

The devil soldiers who had just entered the dilapidated position and had not had time to rush to repair the fortifications were suddenly killed and wounded.

Inside Tieling City.

Zhang Xinghan is deploying combat missions to Li Zhenyuan, and the infantry is attacking head-on, so the tank and armored units naturally cannot be idle.

In order to compress the Yue army to Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan and Zhao Zhenfan and others decided after discussion.

Two tank divisions, supplemented by 3,000 infantry, formed a mixed task force to cross the Liao River to the west, and then along the Liao River to the south, directly into the confluence of the Liuhe, Liaohe and Hunhe rivers, cutting off the connection between the Xinmin Army and the Shenyang Army.

Take Xinmin first, and then concentrate your forces to besiege Shenyang.

Zhang Xinghan pointed to the map and said: "First of all, you have to remember that Xinmin is located north of the Liuhe River and west of the Liaohe River.

The Liao River runs north-south, and the Liuhe River flows east-west, flowing into the Liao River from 20 kilometers southeast of Xinmin! ”

Zhang Xinghan paused, looked up at Li Zhenyuan and said, "Your task is to rely on bridge-building tanks to cross the Liao River in the Tieling section, and then go south along the west bank of the Liao River to attack and occupy Wangjiabao at the confluence of the Qing River and the Liao River.

After capturing Wangjiabao, the Liaohe Bridge can be blown up to cut off the connection between the Shenyang army and the Xinmin army, and then hold Wangjiabao to the death, and cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the Xinmin army. ”

Li Zhenyuan nodded with a solemn expression, and Zhang Xinghan instructed uneasily: "In this battle of Shenyang, whether our army can win or not, Xinmin is very important, so this Wangjiabao has become the top priority, you have to nail me like a nail no matter what, so as to cooperate with the main force to encircle and annihilate the devils in Xinmin City." ”

"Yes, please rest assured Commander, Zhenyuan will go all out and live up to the Commander's expectations!" Li Zhenyuan immediately stepped forward and responded.

Zhang Xinghan nodded and waved his hand to signal him to carry out the order.

After Li Zhen left, Zhao Zhenfan asked, "Commander, the shelling is about to end, can we attack Beidaying again?" ”

"Yes, let the three tank regiments cover the assault with all their might, and this time we must take the Beida Battalion to respond to the actions of the armored group army." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

Zhang Xinghan's voice fell, and Liu Jianguo, the commander of the 4th Division of Reading Power, spoke: "Commander, can you hand over this attack to our 4th Division?" The 2nd Division has already laid down Tieling and killed nearly 10,000 little devils, so it's time for our 4th Division to go up. ”

"Jianguo, you are still competing with me for the main attack." Zhao Zhenfan said with a smile.

"Old Chief of Staff, I'm not competing with you for the main attack, I'm watching the hard work of your brothers in the 2nd Division to continuously attack the city, let you have a good rest and recuperate." Liu Jianguo also said with a smile.

Zhang Xinghan pondered for a while, and immediately decided: "The 2nd Division is a little tired, so let's let the 4th Division go, anyway, this battle, you all have to fight, no one wants to be idle next, it is not difficult to predict that Beidaying will become a place where we and myself have repeatedly fought for it." ”

"Yes!" As soon as Zhang Xinghan spoke, Zhao Zhenfan, Liu Jianguo and others had no objections, and they all stepped forward to respond.

Soon, the fresh force of the 4th Division took over from the 2nd Division and, under the cover of tanks, launched another attack on Beidaying.

Since most of the fortifications were destroyed, the shelling of the Northeast New Army this time caused extremely heavy casualties to the devils.

Before they could catch their breath, dozens of tanks led nearly 1,000 heavily armed infantry of the 4th Division to attack.

After a heavy firefight, the Yue army, which had suffered heavy losses, was once again expelled from the northern camp.

Shenyang City, said to be the commander of the army.

Noda Bugu put down the phone with a solemn face, walked to Shunroku Hata with his saber on his shoulder, and bowed his head to report: "General, the call from the front is coming, and the North Battalion has been lost." ”

"Bagaya Road, Beidaying is the last gateway to Shenyang, it must be recaptured, order the 10th and 11th divisions to immediately histopathologically counterattack quickly!" Hata Junroku was furious when he heard this, and at the same time, he could also deeply understand the situation of the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang City more than two years ago.

However, what he didn't expect was that in just over two years, the change was so great, the attacking side in the past has now become the defending side, and although it has 200,000 troops, it can only hold on and dare not take the initiative to attack.

"Hay!" Noda Bugu bowed his head abruptly.

"How's Xinmin City?" Shunroku Hata called out to Noda Bugu and asked.

"The imperial army has repelled several attacks by the Shina people in Xinmin City, and is currently safe and sound." Noda Cuckoo Road.

Hata Shunroku was relieved when he heard this, he deployed nearly 50,000 troops in Xinmin, and he formed a horn with Shenyang, which was very important for the Battle of Shenyang.
