After more than an hour, the elite of the independent 7th Brigade of He Lichong, the city defense of Chaoyang County, was attacked again and again, and it was already in a precarious position. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Commander, it's almost time, isn't it? Liu Dongqing reported that if we don't attack again, the motorized infantry battalion will have to retreat into the city and fight street battles with the enemy! Liu Jianguo said with an anxious face.

Zhang Xinghan threw away the cigarette butts he didn't know, Huo Ran got up, straightened the steel helmet on his head, and said in a dignified voice: "Pass my order, all troops will attack immediately, Jianguo, you and Du Ting will each command each department, immediately encircle the Northeast Army outside Chaoyang City, and at the same time notify Liu Dongqing to lead the tank regiment to attack from the city to deal with the encirclement!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Jianguo immediately stepped forward and happily agreed, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Zhongzi, immediately notify all the guards battalion to assemble, and follow me to meet He Lichong, this old boy!" After Liu Jianguo left, Zhang Xinghan turned his head and instructed Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion.

"Yes!" Guo Zhong suddenly answered, turned around and gave the order.

The order was quickly conveyed, and the two main infantry regiments of the 4th Independent Division (owing a motorized infantry battalion), all three main infantry regiments of the 10th Division, and one tank regiment, attacked six regiments and nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers and rushed towards the Chaoyang Rapid March, which was ten kilometers away.

The heavy artillery regiments of the two divisions were also towed by automobiles and followed the attacking force closely.

In such a assault battle, the artillery unit was unable to provide effective fire support at the beginning.

Their task was to provide artillery support to the attacking forces after the encirclement had been formed, as well as in subsequent offensives.

That's just in time.

Ten kilometers is not close, but for the Northeast New Army, which has all reached tanks, armored vehicles, and military trucks, it is a matter of half an hour at most.

More than 20 minutes later, the 1st Tank Regiment directly under the 10th Division, which took the lead, took the lead in encountering a small alert unit of the Northeast Army in the south of the city.

After a burst of heavy artillery fire and strafing fire, the alert force that tried to use its arms as a vehicle was routed.

I didn't even have a chance to rush back to the police.

From the subconscious minds of senior commanders such as He Lichong and Li Shusen, they all thought that the main force of the Northeast New Army in Jinzhou was lacking in skills.

It is absolutely impossible to appear in Chaoyang, let alone the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army, whose quality is far inferior to that of the Japanese army.

So. The sudden appearance of the tank units of the Northeast New Army was too sudden for them, they were caught off guard and were routed in a hurry.

In general, the vigilance force will set up a guard post in an area that is quite far from the place of engagement.

In addition, Chaoyang City was already full of gunfire and flames, even if a few surviving Northeast Army sentries fired signal flares desperately.

Nor did it serve as a warning.

Naturally, the tank units were able to assault faster than the sentinels.

And it didn't take long for a large number of infantry of the Northeast New Army to jump out of the military trucks that were speeding up.

With weapons in hand, under the command of their respective officers, they swarmed immediately behind the tank regiments.

"Rush, kill!" Tens of thousands of new officers and men in the northeast roared in unison. The momentum shook the sky, like a tide, from the south of the city to the east of the city, the west of the city respectively.

The attacking troops of the Northeast Army in the south of the city were directly overwhelmed by the vast tide of new soldiers from the Northeast.

Among them, the tank regiment detached a company to attack the Northeast Army attack force south of the city and guide the infantry to carry out a surprise attack.

The rest of the main force was to guide and cover the infantry in the direction of the West Gate, for the simple reason that the West Gate direction was the only route for the Northeast Army to retreat, and it was the most important thing.

As for the troops attacking in the direction of the east gate, the purpose was to attack the Northeast Army outside the north gate in a roundabout way.

Meanwhile. The tank regiment of the 4th Independent Division, which had been holding back for a long time in the city, was also personally led by the regiment commander Liu Dongqing from the south of the city, north of the city, and west of the city in three ways.

The officers and soldiers of the motorized infantry battalion, who had already been killed, also took advantage of the situation to follow closely behind.

For a moment, the situation on the battlefield immediately took a sharp turn.

The Northeast Army, which had just been trying its best to attack, was immediately attacked by the Northeast New Army from inside and outside. The South Gate and the West Gate in particular bear the brunt.

On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire and artillery was intensive, shouting and killing, scolding, and wailing. One after another, endlessly.

In the firelight, under the fierce attack of the tank units of the Northeast New Army. The attacking forces of the Northeast Army were quickly defeated, and they fled and retreated in the direction of the west gate.

Only the Northeast Army at the North Gate has not been attacked for the time being.

Four kilometers away, He Lichong and Li Shusen, who had already returned to the headquarters, were alarmed by the sudden sound of shouting and killing and explosions on the battlefield.

"What's going on? What's going on? He Lichong and Li Shusen looked at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes.

After a while, a major officer ran in with a panicked face, forgot to salute, and said in a hurried tone: "Brigade, brigade, no, it's not good......

"What's wrong? Make it clear! He Lichong was shocked, and got up and scolded angrily.

The major officer adjusted his breathing slightly, and said, "Brigade seat, the big thing is not good, the main force of the Northeast New Army is coming!" ”

"What did you say?" He Lichong was taken aback.

"The main force of the Northeast New Army is coming, there must be tens of thousands of people, as well as tank armored troops, and the enemy army in the city has also suddenly killed, and its main force should be combined with the outside, and the two sides are attacked, my siege troops are caught off guard, it is difficult to resist, and they have been defeated!" The major officer replied with a summoning face.

He Lichong was like a mourner, and asked unwillingly: "All defeated?" ”

"Oh, the Northeast New Army hasn't hit the North Gate yet, and the two battalions at the North Gate are still attacking!" The adjutant of the major hurriedly replied.

He Lichong fell into deep thought, and Li Shusen seemed to be talking to himself in horror and seemed to say to He Lichong: "Isn't the main force of the Northeast New Army in Jinzhou?" Isn't our main force already out of the customs? How dare they come to Chaoyang? ”

"Don't say anything, the top priority is how to fight this battle!" He Lichong said angrily.

Li Shusen looked at him and said with frustration: "Our army has been attacking continuously for half the night, coupled with the rapid march in the past few days, the morale of the troops, and the physical strength of the officers and soldiers have already reached the limit, and now these bastards of the Northeast New Army have suddenly killed."

Defeat is inevitable, so I think we'd better gather our troops and wait for help! ”

As soon as Li Shusen's voice fell, a rush of footsteps sounded from outside, and another unkempt captain officer looked hurried and staggered in.

Seeing He Lichong and Li Shusen, he immediately reported with a crying voice: "Brigade seat, it's not good, the Northeast New Army has surrounded our attacking troops, and our contact with the attacking troops has been cut off. ”

"What?" Li Shusen and He Lichong's faces both changed drastically.

"Brother Li, my three regiments have basically been put into the attack, and I ask you to immediately send troops to meet them to break through, and we will retreat into the mountain first and then make plans!" He Lichong knew that there was no hope of recovering the situation, so he immediately said to Li Shusen.

"Well, Brother He, please rest assured, Li will definitely go all out, you and my brother will advance and retreat together!" Li Shusen immediately agreed.

………………

On a field dirt road about 10 kilometers west of Chaoyang, Zhang Xinghan personally led hundreds of guards and officers and men to rush in the northwest direction.

Two snow-white beams of light burst out from the front of the car, which was very dazzling and eye-catching in the dark night.

This time, Zhang Xinghan sat directly on the armored car in which the signal corps was riding, so that the signal corps could report to him the latest battle situation in a timely manner.

"Dididi!" The sound of the radio almost never stops.

The communication soldier quickly translated a telegram and handed it to Zhang Xinghan and said, "Commander, the 4th and 10th divisions have completed the encirclement of the enemy's attacking forces!" The siege is currently underway, but the enemy's follow-up forces are attacking our attacking forces, as if intending to break the encirclement and meet the withdrawal of their besieging forces. ”

Zhang Xinghan took the telegram and looked at it, muttered for a while, and said to the communication soldiers: "Send a telegram to Liu Jianguo and Du Ting immediately, the enemy will never use more than 10,000 troops to attack the city, our goal is not only to eat their attacking troops, tell Liu Jianguo, hand over the task of siege to the 10th Division, and the 4th Division will open its mouth and immediately take the enemy's follow-up troops in a roundabout!" ”

"Yes!" The communications soldier responded with a bang, turned his head and began to generate electricity quickly.
