The South Manchurian Railway runs through the north and south of Shenyang, so when the Yue army launched an attack on Beidaying and Shenyang a few hours ago, the direction of the attack was the south and north of Shenyang.

And Xinmin is in the southwest of Shenyang, if you want to evacuate Shenyang and go to Jinzhou, Xinmin is a must-pass place, so when Rong Ziheng and his guard battalion plan to go out of the city, they will go through the West Gate.

Because he knew that the West Gate might be the last retreat for the soldiers and civilians in Shenyang, when he had just taken over the command from Huang Xiansheng, Zhang Xinghan ordered the second company commander Gao Chu to quickly arrive at the West Gate with the officers and soldiers of the headquarters to take over the defense of the West Gate.

Rong Ziheng wanted to lead the troops to evacuate, without Zhang Xinghan's order, Gao Chu naturally would not let go, the two sides immediately had a confrontation, in terms of numbers, Rong Ziheng's guard battalion after the battle to guard Fengtian, the loss was not small, but there were still more than 500 people, and they were Zhang Xueliang's cronies of the guards, all of them were elite soldiers who had been fighting for a long time, and the equipment was also very sophisticated, and some of the guards also prepared all mp18 submachine guns.

The number of the second company at the beginning of the high school was less than half of that of Rongziheng's guards, and it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, but the second company occupied the city wall and had a condescending momentum.

This is also the reason why Rong Ziheng did not forcibly seize the door, and the two sides have been facing each other all the time.

"Brother, we meet in Pingshui, the well water does not interfere with the river water, what's the matter, please make it convenient?" Rong Ziheng held back the anger in his heart and smiled at Gao Chu at the head of the city.

"Sir Rong, I'm really sorry, I'm on the orders of our camp, oh, no, he should be the city defense commander of Fengtian City now, and he will take over the defense of Fengtian West Gate on the orders of the commander, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the commander's order, so please don't embarrass Sir Rong." Gao Chu said politely.

As soon as he heard Gao Chu mention Zhang Xinghan, Rong Ziheng became angry, and immediately snorted coldly with disdain: "Hmph, what kind of bullshit garrison commander, that's just Huang Xiansheng's own decision, when I return to Beiping, I will definitely report to the young marshal, so that the two of them can't eat and go around!" ”

Saying that, Rong Ziheng raised his head again and said to Gao Chu: "This brother, I think you are also a loyal person, I will tell you the truth, the young marshal did not plan to start a war with Yue Ben at all, and now that he has captured most of the towns along the South Manchurian Railway except for Fengtian, it is meaningless for us to continue to hold on."

Instead of staying here and waiting for death, it is better to be ordered to withdraw to Jinzhou, as long as you let me out of the city, I can take you and your brothers together, and when you arrive in Jinzhou, I will ask the young marshal for your credit, and the future of the brothers will be limitless, and the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible! ”

"Sir Rong, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, my father and mother said when I was a child, I don't have that blessed life in this life, it's a poor life, my father and mother also said, to be a man, you have to have backbone, to be a soldier, we have to have more backbone, we can't insult the word soldier, so, if we want to leave hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City to flee for their lives alone, we really can't do it, because that's what only a bad seed can do without eggs, we are a kind of man with a handle, and we would rather die than be a bad seed!" Gao Chu sneered and sneered.

"You!" Rong Ziheng is so smart, how can he not hear Gao Chu's sarcasm, and immediately said with a dark face: "Okay, since you don't have a shame on your face, then don't blame Lao Tzu's bullet for not being long-sighted, brothers, give it to me!" Get out of town! ”

"I'll see who dares to do it!" At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the direction of the city, and the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion, who had been hesitant, suddenly stopped their actions and looked behind them one after another.

Rong Ziheng was no exception, looking back, he saw a large number of heavily armed Northeast officers and soldiers holding torches in the dark night, rushing towards him violently, and soon rushed to him, and the muzzle brushes of black holes were aimed at them.

Many officers and men of the guards battalion subconsciously turned their guns and confronted them.

"Fence them all up, and don't let any of them go." Zhang Xinghan rode on a military horse and waved his hand and shouted.

"Who are you? Dare to besiege the Young Marshal Guard? Rong Ziheng was not present when Huang Xiansheng summoned his subordinates to cede power to Zhang Xinghan, because at that time, he had already known about the young marshal's non-resistance attitude and the situation in Liaoning through the contact he had made with his father Rong Zhen, and was preparing how to evacuate Fengtian, so he did not know Zhang Xinghan.

"Fengtian City Defense Commander Zhang Xinghan!" Zhang Xinghan replied coldly.

"Ahh Are you also worthy of being the commander of Fengtian's city defense? Who gives you the power? Without the official appointment of the major marshal, ** also dare to call himself the commander of the defense of the city of Mukden? Rong Ziheng scolded angrily with foul language.

"Surnamed Rong, let your fucking mouth clean up Lao Tzu, how can our camp be comparable to your greedy and fearful of death?" Liu Guodong, the commander of the first company, shouted angrily.

Rong Ziheng secretly calculated the comparison of the strength of the two sides when he spoke before, and found that with the people brought by Zhang Xinghan this time, he still had a certain advantage in terms of troops, so he couldn't help but snort arrogantly and coldly: "Hmph! What kind of thing are you? Dare to yell at me here, I am the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, and my father is the chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the Northeast Frontier Army. ”

"The surname is Rong, there is a kind of you try it?!" Gao Chu shouted in a deep voice with murderous intent in his eyes, and before his words fell, more than a dozen light machine guns on the city opened their safes one after another, ready to fire at any time.

"Give me a little peace of mind." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to be impulsive, and then turned his gaze to Rong Ziheng and his subordinates, staring for a while, Zhang Xinghan said: "Captain Rong, for the sake of the young marshal's personal guard, I can not blame the past for this matter today, you can leave alone." ”

"What?" Rong Ziheng was stunned at first, and then immediately raised his head and laughed: "What did you say?" You don't hold me accountable? What are you pursuing me? Don't say that Lao Tzu is not guilty, even if Lao Tzu commits a crime, it is not your turn to care, why should you? ”

Zhang Xinghan didn't speak, but pulled out his pistol with lightning speed, and shot Rong Ziheng in the leg with lightning and flint.

"Smack!" A gunshot rang out, Rong Ziheng suddenly howled miserably, his right leg was hit by a bullet, and the whole person involuntarily knelt down.

Under the severe pain, Rong Ziheng was ruthless, raised his head and his eyes almost spewed fire, "The surname is Zhang, I am your uncle, I will kill you and fire Lao Tzu!" ”

"Rong Ziheng escaped from the battle, I was severely punished by the order of the young marshal, anyone who dares to shoot without authorization will be regarded as the same crime, and they will be punished on the spot!" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly shouted.

When the officers and soldiers of the guards who were about to make a move heard this, they fell into hesitation again, after all, they were now surrounded by Zhang Xinghan's troops in front and back, and they didn't know whether what Zhang Xinghan said was true or false, but they still heard that Zhang Xinghan was appointed by Huang Xiansheng to take over the post of city defense commander.

Zhang Xinghan didn't go to see Rong Ziheng again, but said to a group of officers and soldiers of the guard: "Brothers, the national disaster is at the head, and I don't want to talk too much to you, I just want to ask you, as the guards of the marshal and the young marshal, the marshal was killed by his own conspiracy, and now he wants to seize the land of my three eastern provinces, can you bear to sit idly by?" The blood revenge of the handsome has not been avenged, and the city of Shenyang is in danger, how can you leave? ”

In the face of Zhang Xinghan's heart-to-heart questioning, many officers and soldiers of the guard bowed their heads in shame, among them were basically deeply favored by Zhang's father and son, Zhang Zuolin was killed, as his personal guard, naturally all of them were filled with righteous indignation, always looking forward to revenge.

But they have never had a chance, and now they are attacking the northeast on a large scale, and if they have a choice, they would rather stay in Shenyang City until they die in battle, rather than retreat in disgrace.

"The surname is Zhang, Lao Tzu will kill you!" Seeing that his subordinates didn't do anything, Rong Ziheng endured the severe pain, and raised his gun with difficulty and roared at Zhang Xinghan.

"Bang" was another gunshot, Rong Ziheng was shot in the arm again, and the whole person immediately fell to the ground, blood gushed out from the two wounds, and soon stained a large area of the ground.

"You fucking bitch, you still want to murder the city defense commander when you escape, and the crime is one more degree." Liu Guodong put away the pistol and scolded disdainfully.

"Rong Ziheng, as the captain of the guard, does not want to serve the country, let alone avenge the blood of the marshal, but is bent on escaping, now I arrest him in the name of the city defense commander, and then deal with it after repelling the army, and the other officers and soldiers of the guard will be under the unified command of the city defense headquarters from now on, and swear to defend Fengtian with the defenders of the city, and swear to live and die with Fengtian! Without an order, no one is allowed to retreat half a step, and those who violate the order will be severely punished! After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, with a wave of his big hand, two burly soldiers had already stepped forward and arrested Rong Ziheng.

The officers and men of the guard did not stop it, but bowed their heads and turned a blind eye, not because they were afraid of Zhang Xinghan, but because they were all hot-blooded patriots, and they were full of enthusiasm, and in terms of national righteousness and private feelings, they obviously chose the former.

Would rather die on the battlefield and shroud in horse leather than steal their lives and retreat to the pass, this is the truest thought in their hearts at this time as members of one of the most elite units of the Northeast Army.
