readx;?“ Deputy marshal, it's over, it's all over, our counteroffensive has failed, and the troops participating in the counteroffensive are all over. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" replied with the same sad face.

"Where's Adjutant Li?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked.

"Adjutant Li was bombarded into slag by the enemy's unknown artillery and died. At present, the enemy army is rapidly breaking through to the south and north of the city, and the city of Jinxian cannot be defended. The soldier said with a sad and disappointed expression.

"Fuck your shit." Zhang Zuoxiang was furious, raised a foot and kicked the soldier to the ground.

………………

To the east of Jinzhou, Yaotun is located on the west bank of the Daling River, and a small town has gradually formed because the railway line passes through here.

Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo came to the west bank of the railway bridge surrounded by several adjutant guards.

Looking at the railway bridge expressionlessly, Yu Xuezhong sighed: "This time, Deputy Marshal Zhang may also be planted in the hands of Zhang Xinghan." ”

"Brother Xiaohou, it's imperative, let's hurry up and find a way to cross the river." He Zhuguo on the side also said helplessly.

"Hmm." Yu Xuezhong nodded, and said: "In addition, inform the young marshal and Deputy Marshal Zhang of this situation, and ask him to insist more, and we will find a way to cross the river." ”

Yu Xuezhong's voice fell, and an explosion suddenly came from not far away, followed by a sparse burst of gunfire.

Not long after, a cavalry of the Northeast Army rushed from a distance.

Yu immediately saluted Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo and said, "Sir, a small group of enemy armored troops has appeared upstream, they have just opened fire on our alert troops, and our reconnaissance troops have lost more than a dozen soldiers. ”

"Small armoured troops?" Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo both changed color and looked at each other.

"Yes, after the attack, they ran away, and we did not dare to pursue them as a precaution." Cavalry Road.

"Inform all units and take strict precautions to prevent a sneak attack by enemy troops." Yu Xuezhong thought of Zhang Xinghan's cunning and Zhang Zuoxiang's current situation. Shocked in his heart, he hurriedly commanded.

………………

In Jinxian County, the offensive of the Northeast New Army is becoming more and more fierce, thanks to the successful breakthrough of the West Gate, the defenders of the Northeast Army in other directions have been shaken, and the city is about to be breached.

Zhang Zuoxiang was already anxious at the moment, like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the command center.

He has sent all the troops he can send, and only God knows how long he can hold out.

Suddenly, a communications soldier took off his headset and stood up, turned to salute him, and said, "Deputy Marshal." The young marshal and Yu Xuezhong called General Yu successively. ”

"What's the content?" Zhang Zuoxiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked eagerly.

"The telegram said that due to the destruction of the Daling River railway bridge, reinforcements were blocked on the west bank of the Daling River, but General Yu has already said that they will find a way to cross the river as soon as possible, so we must persevere." The communications soldier replied.

"What?" The only hope in Zhang Zuoxiang's heart was suddenly shattered, and his whole face was like ashes.

At this time, a major officer ran in with a panicked expression.

Before saluting, he said, "Vice Marshal Zhang." Oh no, the enemy soldiers who attacked the city from the west of the city were divided into two routes, and they had already penetrated into the rear of the defenders of our south gate and the north gate in a roundabout way, dividing and surrounding them.

The enemy offensive at the East Gate was also quite rapid. The situation is critical! ”

Zhang Zuoxiang's whole person suddenly became decadent, staggered two steps, and made his butt on the chair.

As if the soul was not possessed, he said: "Order the troops, let me continue to hold on." Reinforcements arrived in a moment. ”

………………

"Commander, the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division and the Tank Regiment have successfully made a detour, and the enemy in the north and south of the city has been divided and surrounded by us." Outside the city. Liu Dongqing reported to Zhang Xinghan excitedly.

"Okay, order the troops to suspend the attack, launch a psychological offensive, send the officers captured by us into the city, and tell the Northeast Army in the city to surrender immediately, we will treat the prisoners preferentially!" Zhang Xinghan said.

The battle of Jinxian progressed faster than Zhang Xinghan expected, and he still had no time to tell whether the commanders of the Northeast Army in the city were too incompetent, or whether the combat effectiveness of these Northeast Army was too weak.

However, if the Northeast Army in the city really resists to the end, not to mention that the battle damage will increase.

Even tomorrow, the Northeast New Army may not be able to wipe out all the remnants of the enemy in the city, and if the fierce battle continues, it will also affect the innocent people in the city.

Therefore, in public and private, the battle of Jinxian is over as soon as possible.

Soon, the regiments of the 4th and 10th Independent Divisions of the Northeast New Army temporarily stopped the offensive.

began to shout to the defenders: "Brothers defenders, the Daling River Railway Bridge has already been blown up by us, your reinforcements will not come, in order to avoid greater casualties, please immediately lay down your arms and walk out of the fortifications."

Our Northeast New Army treats prisoners preferentially and guarantees that no one will be killed. ”

The defenders of the Northeast Army, who were already struggling to hold on, were in an uproar, and their morale was in chaos.

At the same time, a captured colonel officer of the Northeast Army also entered the city, and after signing up for his identity, he was taken to Zhang Zuoxiang.

"Deputy Marshal, the Northeast New Army outside the city has already said that as long as you order the troops to surrender, you and your brothers will be safe and sound." The colonel's officer looked at Zhang Zuoxiang, who was sitting in a chair with a dull gaze, and said.

Zhang Zuoxiang looked up at him when he heard this, a trace of disdain and anger flashed in his eyes, and said, "Damn, Lao Tzu killed you to eat something outside the house." ”

As he spoke, he drew his gun.

The colonel's face suddenly changed in fright, and he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "The deputy marshal spares his life, and the humble duty is also involuntarily, I still have my father and mother at home, and I really don't want to die."

Moreover, let's not do it with Little Japan, our own people beat our own people, and if we die, we will die in vain, if it is Little Japan that surrounds us today.

Even if you fight to the death, you will fight them to the end! ”

Zhang Zuoxiang finally dismissed the idea of shooting him and put the pistol back in the holster.

After pondering for a moment, he said to an officer on the side: "Pass my order, all troops surrender, today's defeat is all my dereliction of duty, and I can't afford to drag so many brothers to die with me." ”

After speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang pulled out his pistol and looked at it and muttered: "Brother, the brother is here to accompany you." ”

Yan Yan suddenly shot himself.

Others can't stop it.

Half an hour later, all the 20,000 Northeast troops who were still alive in the city surrendered.

Looking at the groups of captives who were pressed out of the city, Zhang Xinghan was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

"Damn, so many soldiers, what a good soldier, I have been ruining in the customs with Zhang Xiaoliu for two years, it's time to play your due role." Zhang Xinghan said secretly in his heart.

Compared with the dawn, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo's reinforcements failed to cross the river, and the river-crossing equipment of the villages along the river within dozens of miles was looted and destroyed by the Northeast New Army.

Second, Zhang Xinghan's several small troops left on the west bank attacked from time to time, and in the dark night, Yu Xuezhong and He Zhuguo's various departments were nervous, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.

In Jinzhou City, Chen Dazhang walked towards Zhang Xueliang with a telegram in his hand with heavy steps.

Zhang Xueliang, who was sitting on the chair, immediately got up when he saw this, staring at Chen Dazhang eagerly, and a sense of foreboding surged in his heart.

"Young marshal, Jinxian is lost." Chen Dazhang lowered his head and said.

"What?" Zhang Xueliang's eyes widened, and his face was full of shock.

"What about Zhang Zuoxiang? What does he eat? An army of 30,000 was wiped out in less than a night? ”

"After ordering the troops to surrender, Deputy Marshal Zhang shot himself." Chen Dazhang replied.

"What? He's dead? Zhang Xueliang's face changed drastically.

Just then, another communications soldier walked in with a message.

He saluted Zhang Xueliang and reported: "Young Marshal, I just received a telegram from Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the Northeast New Army. ”

Zhang Xueliang raised his head suddenly, forcibly suppressed his anger and took the message, and opened it to take a look.

The message reads as follows:

Cheng Shao Marshal Jun Jian, Yu since the 918 incident, has not resisted the Japanese, dozens of battles large and small, and has never been defeated.

The young marshal led the troops out of the customs this time, the intention is that you and I know very well, the battle between Chaoyang and Jinxian last night, the right should be a small punishment, I hope the young marshal will take it as a warning, and the rest of the rate will return to the pass.

In the future, we will not interfere with each other, otherwise, we will tear our faces, and Xinghan will not mind eating the tens of thousands of fresh troops left by the young marshal. ”

After Zhang Xiaoliu silently read the message word by word, he suddenly rushed to his heart, and opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of Yin Hong's blood.

His face turned extremely pale in an instant, and the whole person staggered two steps, and suddenly fainted backwards.

"Young marshal, young marshal!" Chen Dazhang and the communication soldier were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly shouted.

……………………

After dawn, dozens of planes of the Northeast New Army Air Force flew over the vicinity of the Daling River and launched a deterrent air raid and bombing against Xuezhong and He Zhuguo's headquarters.

Because Zhang Xueliang was unconscious, Chen Dazhang and others immediately sent him back to Beiping for treatment.

After discussing with He Zhuguo, Rong Jin and others, Yu Xuezhong weighed the pros and cons, and led his troops to retreat towards the pass in the afternoon of the same day.

Zhang Xinghan sent two tank regiments to follow up, which was regarded as surveillance, and personally led the main force to leave Jinxian with 20,000 prisoners, and crossed the Liao River to meet Liu Jianguo and Du Ting.

In Yingkou City, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

"Nani? What did you say? The Northeast Army was ambushed in Jinxian? An army of 30,000 was wiped out overnight? After listening to the report of the communications staff officer, Okamura Ninji could hardly believe his ears.

"Yes, Zhang Zuoxiang, the commander of the Northeast Army in Jinxian County, shot himself, and 20,000 of his 30,000 soldiers were taken prisoner.

According to the intelligence officer's report, Zhang Xueliang was already unconscious because of this incident, and the Northeast Army was forced to start retreating! The communications staff officer bowed his head.

Okamura Ningji was furious, "Baga Yalu, plus the Battle of Chaoyang, Zhang Xinghan almost captured thirty or forty thousand people just as a prisoner, Zhang Xueliang is a fool, his exit not only failed to cause substantial losses to the Northeast New Army,

On the contrary, it has made it more and more powerful, which is simply unreasonable! ”

"Okamura-kun, what should we do next?" The commander of the 106th Division, Kentaro Kuroto, said with a worried face.

"Yingkou can no longer be defended, we must break through before Zhang Xinghan arrives!" Okamura Ninji said thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
