After a short time, nearly 300 officers and men of the guards were all waiting for the car, and Zhang Xinghan opened the passenger door of a military truck and got in.

The drivers started their cars one after another, and after the roar of motors sounded, more than 30 military vehicles loaded with soldiers and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns slowly started and headed for the east of the city.

Due to the loss of air supremacy, it was again bombed by carpet air raids by the Shenyang Air Force.

Therefore, the 2nd Division failed to discover the roundabout unit led by Zhang Xinghan in time, but was desperately repairing the damaged position and rescuing the wounded.

Waiting for darkness in fear and anxiety.

By noon, the air group, rereplenished with fuel and ammunition, again dispatched all thirty HE111 bombers to carpet bomb the 2nd Division.

At the same time, the Stuka dive bomber group launched a secondary air attack on the 20th Division.

Thanks to the full assistance of the Air Force, Huang Xiansheng and Zhang Xinghan's detour troops led by Huang Xiansheng and Zhang Xinghan successfully detoured back to the vicinity of the lighthouse at one o'clock in the afternoon.

In a small deserted village near the East Tower, Zhang Xinghan and his guard battalion were temporarily stationed here.

The communications team quickly set up a radio station, and through the radio, Zhang Xinghan gave orders to Gao Zhihang and Liu Jianguo respectively.

Liu Jianguo was ordered to command the main force to immediately launch a frontal attack on the 2nd Division in order to attract the attention of the enemy's 2nd Division and prevent it from fleeing south.

The air force was ordered to dispatch fighter planes to attack the 20th and 2nd Divisions and the county town of Dengta.

In order to assist the frontal attack of the main force of the garrison brigade and the surprise attack of the detour troops on the lighthouse, we can ensure that we can win with one blow, take the lighthouse, cut off the southward escape of the 2nd Division, complete the strategic encirclement of the 2nd Division, and implement encirclement and annihilation.

At the same time, he contacted Huang Xiansheng and Zhao Zhen's headquarters through the radio, and launched an attack on the lighthouse at the same time at the agreed time, and Huang Xiansheng's cavalry team was responsible for intercepting the reinforcements of the Yuejun army in Liaoyang, as well as the Yuejun army that broke through the siege and fled in the county town of Dengta.

After everything was ready, Zhang Xinghan personally led the guard battalion with more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to quietly move to the eastern outskirts of the lighthouse.

It didn't take long for the sky to hear the loud roar of the plane's engines.

Immediately after that, a rapid air raid siren sounded in the city of Dengta County, and the troops of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Brigade of the South Manchurian Railway Garrison who remained at the lighthouse suddenly became a pot of porridge.

The air force dispatched four or five HE111 bombers and seven or eight Stuka dive bombers this time, not because Gao Zhihang did not want to send more bombers, but because most of the bombers had just completed the bombing of the 20th and 2nd Divisions, and they had not yet had time to replenish their ammunition.

However, Rao only had more than ten bombers, which still caused a lot of shock and casualties to the army in Dengta County.

Several city walls were destroyed by the violent explosion, and they collapsed for a long time, and some of the devil soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly blown to pieces.

About ten minutes later, the bomber completed the air attack mission and began to return home.

Outside the eastern suburbs, Zhang Xinghan calmly said that his army was busy coping with the air raids, and pulled four antiaircraft guns and more than a dozen antiaircraft machine guns outside the east gate by car.

And quickly adjusted the shooting angle, and when the air raid just ended, Zhang Xinghan waved his hand.

Four anti-aircraft guns and more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns opened fire, and due to the terrifying rate of fire of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the bullets and shells suddenly rained towards the east city gate.

There were several violent explosions, and the entire city gate was shattered in an instant.

However, Zhang Xinghan did not rush to let the infantry charge, but ordered to stop shooting.

It didn't take long for the army in the city to hear the news, and Zhang Xinghan observed it through a telescope and found that there were hundreds of people.

More than 100 soldiers were shocked when they saw the city gate being blown open, and they built fortifications in the city one after another, and at the same time set up machine guns at the head of the city.

Only then did Zhang Xinghan give the order to open fire, and four 88 anti-aircraft guns were the first to open fire.

Due to the extremely fast rate of fire, the shells of the 88 anti-aircraft guns were like a rain of bullets fired from machine guns, forming dazzling tongues of fire.

It's oversized, though.

Dense shells rained down on the city, producing violent explosions again and again.

The bricks and stones of the city wall were splashed, and the huge shock wave blew up more than a dozen devils with guns who had just landed on the top of the city, and scattered parts everywhere.

The anti-aircraft machine guns also burst out with terrifying power, and a dense stream of bullets swept through the city gate like a torrential wind.

Immediately, dozens of devils who were rushing to repair the fortifications were thrown to the ground like mustard.

"Brigade seat, shall we charge?" Shen Xingye saw that only the first round of salvos, more than half of the more than 100 Yue troops were lost, and he was eager to try with a MG34 in his arms.

"Don't worry, Yizhi, you immediately bring two 88 anti-aircraft guns and five anti-aircraft machine guns to the West Gate to reinforce Director Huang and them," Zhang Xinghan ordered.

It was clear that such bulky weapons as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were not suitable for street fighting after entering the city.

Zhang Xinghan wanted to attract them as much as possible and destroy them in the city, and capture the county seat of Dengta with the least casualties.

Shen Xingye immediately took the order, took an infantry platoon to cover the air defense soldiers, pulled anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, and went straight to the west gate.

Outside the West Gate, not long after the air raid ended, Zhao Zhenfan rushed to the outside of the lighthouse with the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment.

And immediately in accordance with Zhang Xinghan's instructions, the two battalions of the 619th Regiment and the troops directly under it were deployed at the South Gate and the North Gate, and all the 620 Regiment was deployed at the West Gate as the main attack for a feint.

After completing the siege of the lighthouse, Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Tiehan immediately ordered the troops to attack, and the army in the city hurriedly resisted while sending a telegram to the 2nd Division and the Liaoyang army for help.

Outside the west gate, when the two sides were fighting fiercely, Shen Xingye arrived with two 88 anti-aircraft guns and five anti-aircraft machine guns.

With the strong fire cover of the 88 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the resistance of the Japanese army soon collapsed.

The officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the 620th Regiment took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and immediately, the regiment commander Wang Tiehan personally led the second battalion and the troops directly under the regiment to pour into the city with the first battalion and began to expand the results of the battle.

The 619th Regiment also attacked the city at the north gate and the south gate successively, and began to advance to the center of the city from three directions.

The remnants of the defenders were forced to retreat in the direction of the east gate, trying to break through the east gate.

However, it was hit by the fire of the guard battalion.

An hour later, the Northeast Army cleared all the remnants of the city and successfully captured the county seat of Dengta.

During this period, the 2nd Division was too busy to take care of itself due to the onslaught of the main force of the garrison brigade and the bombing of the air force, and it was simply unable to withdraw troops to rescue the lighthouse.

The Liaoyang army sent a reinforcement of more than 500 people under the supervision of Itagaki Seishiro, but it was suddenly intercepted by Huang Xiansheng's cavalry troops.

With more than half of the losses, he hurriedly retreated to Liaoyang City.

At this point, Zhang Xinghan had completed the strategic encirclement of the 2nd Division, and the air force began to bomb the South Manchurian Railway, destroying all the South Manchurian Railway in the Liaoyang-Haicheng section before dark, completely paralyzing it.

That night, Jiro Tamon and Murokanji led their subordinates to break through in the east and west directions in an attempt to escape.

Zhang Xinghan had already prepared, and immediately asked Huang Xiansheng to lead the cavalry unit and an air defense company composed of four anti-aircraft guns and more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns to intercept the 2nd Division.

At the same time, Liu Jianguo was ordered to lead the 1st and 2nd regiments to attack from the front, and Zhao Zhenfan commanded the 620th and 619th regiments to attack from the lighthouse.

A full-scale offensive was launched against the 2nd Division.

A cavalry regiment and infantry regiment in Yuzhishan had been completely defeated in the daytime bombardment and air raids, and at night Duomen Jiro left them to be responsible for blocking the pursuit of the garrison brigade.

The remnants of the puppet army, who had long been frightened by the terrible bombardment and gas warfare, surrendered one after another.

As a result, the two main regiments of the garrison brigade directly caught up with the rear guard of the 2nd Division.

At this time, the 2nd Division had already been disheartened, sleepy and lacking in men, and suffered powerful air raids and artillery bombardments by the garrison brigade during the day, and suffered heavy losses in all units, and had no intention of fighting.

The rearguard was overtaken by the garrison brigade, and before Tamen Jiro could react, the forward troops were again intercepted by the Chinese cavalry.

The anti-aircraft company brought by Zhang Xinghan inflicted unimaginable casualties on the forward troops of Domen Jiro.

Almost at the same time, Zhao Zhenfan commanded the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment to arrive at the right time and immediately launched an attack on the middle troops of the 2nd Division.

The 2nd Division was cut into three sections at once, so that it could not be separated from end to end.

Although the 620th Regiment and the 619th Regiment are not as good as Zhang Xinghan's garrison brigade in terms of weapons and equipment, they are not much worse than the current army.

In particular, they still have a slight advantage in light weapons, and in terms of training, they are also no worse than the army when they are also well-trained.

In particular, the officers and men of these two regiments retreated in a humiliating manner after the September 18 Incident, and at this time they were all working hard to kill the enemy, and their combat effectiveness was much greater than before.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, the 2nd Division was in an unprecedented crisis.

Behind a col, Jiro Domon was facing a dense rain of bullets and violent explosions one after another, and he was personally asking for help from the 20th Division of Murokanji.

However, the 20th Division, which had already lost more than half of its parts, was already frightened by the garrison brigade, and the division commander Kaji was even more frightened.

Seeing that the breakthrough of his troops was very smooth, and when he learned that there was a lot of gunfire in the direction of the lighthouse, he was willing to go back to the rescue, and hurriedly led his troops to flee south along the Liliao River.

Without reinforcements, the fate of the 2nd Division was inevitable.

After two hours of fierce fighting, a disheartened Domen Jiro sent the last farewell message to the commander of the Kwantung Army, and then committed suicide by slashing his abdomen.

The 2nd Division was soon completely defeated, and a feast of pursuit began.

Thousands of officers and soldiers in the Northeast began to unscrupulously pursue and kill the remnants of the fleeing army, and the red light produced by the explosion was everywhere in the dark night, and Huang Xiansheng's cavalry gave full play to the advantage of its speed in the pursuit battle at this moment.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen swung their sabers and instigated their horses, cutting down one devil after another who could not escape to the ground.

At this point, there was no suspense in the battle.
