The night is like ink, outside the camp of Beida, you can't see your five fingers.

On the South Manchurian railway line, which is about seven or eight hundred meters away from Beidaying, Lieutenant Kawashima finally arrived with the main force of the squadron and joined up with a dozen devils of the Wicker Lake task force responsible for sabotaging the railway.

"Your Excellency Squadron Leader, we have completed the mission as scheduled, what should we do now?" The devil lieutenant of the task force greeted Lieutenant Kawashima and asked.

"Immediately launch a surprise attack on the North Camp and capture the North Camp! Lieutenant Kawashima said with a grim face.

{"Attack the North Battalion?"} But Your Excellency, most of the guns and ammunition we carry are empty cartridges for the exercise? And we have only one squadron. The second lieutenant was obviously a little surprised, and looked at Lieutenant Kawashima with a stunned expression.

It turned out that in order to prevent information leakage, when leaving the barracks, Kawashima only announced to the soldiers that he was going to conduct a drill, so the soldiers carried empty ammunition for the exercise.

Moreover, even the devil lieutenant who was in charge of blowing up the railroad only thought that the purpose of blowing up the railroad was to create friction and blame it on the squadron in order to achieve some political or diplomatic goals, and he did not expect to launch an attack on the Beida Battalion, which was stationed with tens of thousands of troops in Northeast China.

"Yes, attack the North Battalion! Fuji Shoujun, have you forgotten that the Imperial Army of this empire is invincible, and without bullets, we can still defeat the weak and incompetent Shina people with bayonets! Moreover, our reinforcements will arrive soon! Lieutenant Kawashima reprimanded Second Lieutenant Fujimori in a loud voice.

Then he waved his command knife into the void in the direction of Beidaying: "Attack!! ”

"Hay!" The devil soldiers, including Fuji Shou, bowed their heads one after another, and immediately held the 38 big cover with bayonets, and the hula rushed towards the northern camp like a tide.

Soon, under the cover of the dark night, Lieutenant Kawashima led more than 150 troops of the 3rd Squadron to enter the south gate of the Beida Battalion, that is, in the small forest in front of the vegetable field outside the 3rd Battalion defense area of Zhang Xinghan.

In the grove, Lieutenant Kawashima ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing, and he took out his binoculars and looked ahead.

But in order to make sure that in case, Lieutenant Kawashima still held the telescope and observed for a while to make sure that the Northeast Army in the northern camp had already slept.

Lieutenant Kawashima waved his sword and rushed out of the grove with more than 150 of his subordinates, who wanted to quickly approach the wall of the Beida camp, rush into the camp, and launch a sneak attack with lightning speed, taking the Northeast Army in the camp by surprise.

However, when Lieutenant Kawashima and more than a hundred imperial warriors under his command were full of ambition, pride, and duty, they had just rushed into the cabbage field cultivated by the 3rd Battalion outside the woods.

The unexpected happened.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions sounded in vain, and the scarlet dazzling fire suddenly appeared, and Lieutenant Kawashima and six or seven devil soldiers who rushed to the front were suddenly blurred by the explosion, and they fell in a pool of blood.

The rest of the devil soldiers were so frightened by the sudden change that they stopped advancing, and the first squad leader, Second Lieutenant Fujimori, quickly stepped forward with several subordinates in panic, and lifted up Lieutenant Kawashima, who was blown up to a bloody pulp, and withdrew.

Retreating to the grove, Second Lieutenant Fujimori shouted with a sad expression: "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, are you okay?" ”

At this time, Lieutenant Kawashima was hit in the abdomen and crotch by the debris from the explosion, and the red blood could not stop gushing out from the wound, and the whole person was already dying and dying.

"Vine, vine Shoujun, the people of China are extremely cunning, you, you must help me avenge and kill all the hateful people of China." Lieutenant Kawashima said in a difficult and intermittent tone.

"Hay, I will, I will." Looking at the fate of the chief who got along day and night, Second Lieutenant Fujimori's heart was like a knife, and he choked up and nodded.

"But, alas, I can't see the beautiful scenery of Mt. Fuji anymore, and the cherry ......blossoms in full bloom," Lieutenant Kawashima muttered to himself with a blank look in his eyes, and before he could finish his words, he tilted his head and lost his breath.

Second Lieutenant Fujimori put Lieutenant Kawashima's body on the ground, picked up the lieutenant command knife from Lieutenant Kawashima's hand, stood up with a solemn face, and raised the knife vigorously: "Warriors of the Empire, avenge Your Excellency the squadron leader, kill Gaga!" ”

"Kill!" The more than 140 devil soldiers, who were also in great grief, suddenly let out a roar of rage, picked up their rifles and charged forward again, completely ignoring the fact that there might be a minefield buried in front of them.

At the same time, in the Beida Battalion, the officers and men of the 7th Brigade of each regiment and battalion, who had already rested, were awakened by the sound of the explosion just now, and the sentries sounded the alarm one after another.

In the headquarters of the Seventh Brigade, Zhao Zhenfan, the chief of staff of the Seventh Brigade, who was the only one left in the Beida Battalion, was awakened, and after asking about the situation and learning that there was an attack by the army, he went straight to the communications company without getting dressed.

Because Wang Yizhe took his daughter to the banquet during the day, and did not return home until more than ten o'clock in the evening after the banquet, he was not in Beidaying at this time, but at home in Fengtian City.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenfan directly called Rong Zhen, then chief of staff of the Lieutenant General of the Office of the Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, and it is no different from history, after Chief of Staff Rong received an urgent call from Zhao Zhenfan.

After thinking about it for a while, he said to Zhao Zhenfan: "The young marshal has made arrangements earlier, if the army provokes, in order to avoid the expansion of the situation and trigger a war, the guns and ammunition will be put into storage, and the conflict with it will be greatly avoided. ”

Zhao Zhenfan, who was on the other end of the phone, was anxious when he heard this, and asked, "Chief Rong, what if I capture the Beida Camp?" Could it be that nearly 10,000 elite soldiers of our 7th Brigade will be captured and become prisoners of the enemy? ”

"This..."Rong Zhen on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment, and continued: "You immediately send an order to the troops, if the army attacks, the troops will withdraw from the Beida camp and retreat to Dongshanzuizi to stand by." I'll report the situation to the young marshal right away, so be it. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhenfan angrily slammed the table next to the phone, "Damn, what a fucking wreck!" Alas! ”

At the same time that Zhao Zhenfan arranged the troops to prepare for retreat according to the order, on the battlefield of the 3rd battalion defense area.

After paying nearly half of the casualties, the Japanese army led by Second Lieutenant Fujimori finally rushed through the cabbage field full of mines and grenades, and rushed to the outside of the trench outside the south gate of the Beida camp.

Because the South Gate Suspension Bridge has already been put away, so if the army wants to rush into the North Daying, it must cross the trench, the trench is three meters wide and one meter deep, although there is no water in it, but the three-meter one is not a weight of dozens of catties, and the soldiers with short legs can jump over.

Just as Second Lieutenant Fujimori ordered the troops to find a way to pass through with red eyes, hundreds of soldiers of the Northeast Army suddenly stood on the originally silent wall, and the muzzles of hundreds of light and heavy weapons were all aimed at Second Lieutenant Fujimori and his subordinates for a while.

"Xiao Yueben, Lao Tzu has been waiting for a long time!" On the fence wall about two meters high, Zhang Xinghan held a Hanyang and shouted: "Fire!" ”

As soon as he spoke, he took the lead in pulling the trigger, and the Hanyang-made rifle in his hand suddenly made a crisp sound, and a 7.92 rifle bullet whistled out from the muzzle like a small meteor, heading straight for a soldier outside the trench.

"Poof!" The bullet hit the target accurately, and the devil's head suddenly burst out with a bloody fluffy ball, and then fell to the ground.

Before Zhang Xinghan's gunfire fell, hundreds of other officers and soldiers of the 3rd Battalion also opened fire one after another, and for a time the gunfire at the south gate of the Beida Battalion was loud, and in the dense rain of bullets, the remaining sixty or seventy devils were almost unable to fight back, and they were all thrown to the ground.

Zhang Xinghan led the three battalions to fight fiercely with the Yue army at the south gate of the Beidaying, while the other troops in the battalion became frightened birds, and after receiving the retreat order from the chief of staff Zhao Zhenfan, the 619th Regiment and the 621st Regiment began to take the lead in evacuating.

Due to the resistance of Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion at the South Gate, the Yue Army failed to rush into the Beida Battalion as historically, so Zhao Zhenfan's order to retreat was smoothly conveyed to Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 620th Regiment, after receiving the retreat order.

Wang Tiehan, who didn't know how to be good, after learning that Zhang Xinghan led the 3rd battalion to exchange fire with the Yue army, sent a herald to inform Zhang Xinghan to lead the 3rd battalion to continue the blockade to cover the withdrawal of the main force, and then left with the regimental headquarters and the troops directly under him.

At the same time of evacuation, Wang Tiehan thought of Zhang Xinghan bringing Liu Jianguo, the deputy battalion commander, to the regiment headquarters during the day, and his heart was furious.

……………………………………

The battle of Beidaying was ignited, and at the same time as the guns and cannons rang out, in the courtyard of the Zhang family at the east small east gate of Fengtian City.

Zhang Yuxi got out of the car with his wife Liu Liping, and walked into his hall with Xiao Lizi, who delivered a letter for Zhang Xinghan.

After sitting down, Zhang Yuxi opened Zhang Xinghan's family letter, and asked with a smile while opening it: "Xiao Lizi, where is your hometown?" ”

{Returning to Master Zhang, the lowly family is from Tieling.} Xiao Lizi hurriedly replied respectfully.

At this time, Zhang Yuxi, who had already opened the family letter, was shocked by the content of the letter, which was as follows:

Father, mother, when you see this letter to the family, you may have already exchanged fire with the enemy, saying that I am a thief and trying to occupy our three eastern provinces for more than a day or two, which can be seen from the fact that they killed the marshal Zhang Zuolin back then.

I remember when I was a child in Xinghan, my father and mother often taught me to study hard, and when I grew up in the future, I would serve the country and do a great career.

Now, as a soldier of the country, he should lead his officers and men to fight back to defend Mukden and defend the northeast.

However, the bullet has no eyes, life and death in the war are unpredictable, such as the unfortunate death of the child, I hope the second elder must not be sad, because the child is fighting for the country and the nation, although the death is still glorious!

The only regret is that the second elder has raised Xinghan for many years, but Xinghan has not been able to repay the situation, let alone be able to fulfill his filial piety for the second elder and send him to the end of his life.

Fortunately, I still have a younger brother, Xinghua is young and intelligent, the surname is kind, and he loves the two elders.

Order, the communication soldier Xiao Lizi sent by the child, followed the son for many years, loyal, read that it was the only seedling of the three generations of single transmission, and could not bear to cut off his family, and specially ordered him to stay in my house after sending the letter, and did not have to return it.

If the child is defeated and martyred, the father and the mother should leave Fengtian as soon as possible, and withdraw to the pass with the retreating troops.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, I hope that my parents will forgive, and the unfilial son Xinghan will cry to my parents, and the evening of September 17 in the 20th year of the Republic of China.

After Zhang Yuxi finished reading this tear-jerking family letter, the whole person sat on the chair as if frozen, his hands began to tremble, and the family letter in his hand fell to the ground.
