At 4:50 a.m., the Linghe Iron Bridge broke and decomposed in a series of earth-shattering explosions, and the 30-meter bridge between the first and second piers of the eastern section was blown away, and the middle of the bridge was destroyed almost at the same moment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the thick smoke and dazzling firelight, the fragments of gravel and sleepers shot out all over the sky, making a sharp whistling sound, the heavy and curved railroad tracks rose high, and then smashed on the frozen river, the cracks on the smashed ice surface were vertical and horizontal, under the pressure of the shock wave, there was a sharp friction sound and a frightening breaking sound, the faces of more than 30 daredevils on the ice changed greatly, and they were extremely frightened, and they could no longer care about the Japanese troops who shot to the west, and they had no time to find the bodies of more than ten brothers who carried out the detonation mission, in a desperate call, Desperate to flee for their lives to the south shore.

On the road two kilometers north of the Linghe Iron Bridge, a huge explosion came from the direction of the iron bridge, which made the brigade commander Nakamura lose his soul, and he urgently ordered the truck to stop...... Pushing open the cold car door, I stood on the pedals and looked south, the sky-high flames had turned dark red in the billowing smoke. His heart fell into the ice cave. However, the remaining trace of luck in his heart cheered him up, and he let out a wolf-like wail to the Japanese soldiers who stopped to watch: "Speed up, move forward"

Eight kilometers east of the Linghe Iron Bridge, the fighting has stopped, and the flags illuminate the messy railway line. The surviving sappers are working hard to repair the railway, and more than 100 corpses are gathered on the wide snow on the left side of the road to be disposed of.

At this time, a huge explosion came from the direction of the iron bridge, which woke up the Japanese army wing commander Fumiji Sato and many officers, and the thunderous Fumiji Sato urgently ordered the two brigades under his command to leave the train, run forward, and quickly report the situation to the division. However, as soon as the two brigades had finished assembling and had not yet started, the earth-shattering gunfire rang out from the opposite side of the wide and dangerous glacier, and the dense rain of bullets once again disrupted the formation of the assembled Japanese troops, and the sappers who were sweating like rain on the railroad fell seven or eight more in an instant, several mortar shells whistled in, and the railway that was about to be repaired was once again blown up beyond recognition.

Fumiji Sato, who was hiding on the other side of the train, was furious, and on the one hand, he urgently ordered the two brigades to counterattack with all their strength to defeat the enemy who was attacking and harassing them as quickly as possible, and on the other hand, he ordered the other two. The brigade did not stop, and rushed at full speed to the west iron bridge.

The officers strictly carried out Sato's orders, and the well-trained Japanese troops soon lined up in a neat line under the roar of gunfire and rushed westward, and the two brigades of infantry left behind quickly opened the battle line to the east, light and heavy machine guns and numerous grenadiers and mortars began a fierce counterattack, and one of them, the squadron of Japanese troops under the personal leadership of Shangguan, rushed down the riverbed to the east, and fearlessly stepped on the rattling frozen river, trying to bypass the attackers on the opposite bank.

Lu Yanqing, who was on the high ground on the south bank, had ordered all of them to retreat before the Japanese army could fully return fire. After running for a kilometer, the scouts came to report that they had found that the Japanese had crossed the river at the risk of death and were trying to outflank them from the east.

The bold and careful Lu Yanqing's heart moved, and immediately called the deputy of the machine gun company, together with the only remaining three-cause mortar, returned to the battlefield like flying, hurriedly set up the cannon barrel on the high ground more than 700 meters away from the river, and after a period of nervous busyness, three shells were fired, one of which accurately landed on the white ice, and the fire of the explosion illuminated the Japanese troops who were advancing cautiously dozens of meters away.

In less than half a minute, three shells flew out again and landed accurately in the middle of the Japanese troops, exploding with a bang, beating the Japanese soldiers who were struggling to wade through the river screaming and hurriedly lying down.

Two more rounds of shells hit; The frozen river surface under the Japanese army began to shake, the harsh sound of the ice cracking and squeezing became denser and louder, and the Japanese squadron leader who led the team was frightened and decisively ordered to retreat. Desperate exclamations and cries for help came one after another, and only half of the 160-odd Japanese soldiers in a squadron escaped.

The Japanese commander on the railway, his eyes were broken, and he commanded artillery fire to strike fiercely at the attackers on the opposite bank, and the high where the attackers were located was blown up red, thick smoke billowed out, and the snow and fog rolled up all over the sky, and the round hill was flattened by a burst of shells two meters in a blink of an eye, but Lu Yanqing had already led the brothers who were in the way of the attack to flee two miles to the south.

5:20 a.m. Command of the Japanese army in Yixian.

The division commander Xi Yiyi listened to a series of urgent reports from Anlai at the front, but calmed down. Under the worried gaze of the generals, he slowly walked to the large map, shrugged and observed the film, and shouted in a deep voice: Xiaolin-kun? ”

"Hey!"

The chief of staff, Kobayashi Kakutaro Osa, strode to the side of Saiyoshi.

The picture that Nishiichi was still staring at: "Analyze the situation that happened overnight, what does Kobayashi-kun think?" ”

Hayashi Kakutaro hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully: "It can only be described as unexpected!" A comprehensive analysis of the current situation. The resistance forces in the entire Chaoyang area are not a plate of scattered sand as we thought before, nor are they only three local armed forces with a total of 15,000 people as reported by the military headquarters, but a group with tenacious willpower and fighting The new site of this site has been changed to: Wasaki Mishan, please read after the light!. If the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade still surrounded Feng Zhanhai's department, his subordinates judged that the enemy in the Chaoyang area would not be less than 25,000 men, otherwise the current result would not have been possible. ”

"Well, that's good!"

Nishiichi turned around and looked into Kobayashi Kakutaro's eyes: "The enemy's plan is so close, such an accurate action, can you think of anything?" After receiving the news that the Linghe Iron Bridge had been bombed and Beipiao City had been violently attacked again, I had been thinking about a question: Who among the local armed forces in Northeast China has such excellent command ability? What other armed force has such a powerful and accurate strike capability? Yang Jiuxiao? Or is it Feng Zhanhai who is still surrounded in the Great Black Mountain? No, no, no, no, now I very much doubt that the Northeast Army is likely to secretly send a command team into the western Liaoning region, and only in this way can we explain why the anti-Japanese forces fighting separately can unite as a whole, and can explain why they can launch a large-scale attack on our three units at almost the same time, and they can make a clever decision to take advantage of the situation.

Hayashi Kakutaro sighed admiringly: "The subordinates also have this hazy feeling, and the general woke up his subordinates with a word!" ”

"So, what do we do next?" Xi Yiyi shook his head and asked.

Hayashi Kakutaro puffed out his chest. Just as he was about to make a suggestion, the chief of the intelligence section hurriedly came: "General, the 32nd Wing of Chaoyang has a call, 10 minutes ago it was attacked by a large-scale enemy attack, the enemy fired dense mortar shells at the camp of our army in the city from three directions, and the preliminary analysis showed that the enemy had no less than 40 medium-caliber mortars, and all of them fired advanced high-explosive shells, and the 32nd Wing responded in a hurry and suffered extremely heavy losses. I beg the general to guide! ”

"Report, Sato Daisa sent an urgent call again!" Dwarf's communications staff officer hurried over and handed over the urgent report with both hands.

Hayashi Kakutaro snatched the emergency telegram, read it in a hurry, and when he raised his head, his face had turned pale: "General, Sato-kun is in a hurry, the first line of the twin towers in the south of Chaoyang City has been completely lost, and our army has lost its position under the onslaught of the enemy's more than 5,000 well-equipped regular troops with strong firepower, because the artillery team of the wing is still on the train behind, and all the infantry stationed in Chaoyang are infantry, and the total number of defenders of a brigade of the 7th Independent Brigade originally stationed is less than 4,000 officers and soldiers, so our army cannot resist the attack of the enemy's powerful firepower, Sato-kun said that he would rather break the jade than preserve the dignity of our Japanese army. ”

"What? Regular troops? When did regular troops appear in western Liaoning? Xiyi snatched the emergency power and looked extremely shocked.

Lin replied in a low voice: "Maybe the situation is really urgent, and Sato-kun failed to state the specific situation of the enemy in the urgent report, but judging from Sato-kun's resolute character and the courage of many years of battle, this sudden appearance of a strong enemy is by no means ordinary, and the general and his subordinates suspect that it is very likely that the Northeast Army has secretly left the customs and entered Liaoxi." ”

Xiyichi walked back and forth twice: "Order Sato-kun to withdraw from Chaoyang and preserve his strength; General Lin Maoqing of the 16th Brigade was ordered to urge the 17th Wing to give up the rescue ticket to the north and meet the 32nd Wing to the west as quickly as possible. ”

"Hey!" "Xiyi is his own chief of staff.

"Hey!"

Hayashi Kakutaro motioned for his subordinate officials to go and carry it out, and he walked in front of Nishiyi and stood straight.

Xiyiyi put up his index finger and kept dotting: Kobayashi-kun, I think. The overall situation in western Liaoning has far exceeded the prediction of the military headquarters, and the enemy's numbers, equipment, and combat effectiveness are no longer what they used to be; before we get clear information, all units of our division and regiment should postpone the attack on Lingyuan and oppress Chengde, but should shrink all units and respond to each other. Now it seems that with the strength of our own division, it is difficult to undertake the heavy task of attacking on the Western Front, and if we rashly advance, it is very likely that we will be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy's heavy forces, or they will be broken individually, and then the strategic attack of the other four divisions and regiments on the Central and Eastern Routes will be affected. Only the enemy army may gather in Liaoxi. If our division is dragged down and then divided into eastward advances, the flank of our army's middle and rear divisions will be greatly affected, and the entire huge southward offensive plan "is likely to be frustrated because of this." ”

"The general is right! The subordinates rushed to Jinzhou and personally spoke to the commander. Kobayashi understood Nishi's intentions well.

Xi Yiyi nodded with satisfaction: "I will order General Lin Maoqing to lead his troops to recover the Northern Ticket and temporarily serve as the front command of our division." When you arrive at the headquarters, you can explain the situation of this temporary disposition, just explain this, I believe that the headquarters knows how to deal with the 7th independent mixed brigade

"Got it! Subordinates obey! ”

At 6:30 a.m., the Beiping Zhushan Headquarters.

Gu Changfeng and Yang Jiuxiao's troops jointly conquered Chaoyang, obtained the good news of destroying more than 700 enemies and capturing a large number of guns and ammunition, which made the command hall thunderous and joyful.

Zhao Rui excitedly suggested that An Yi immediately submit this good news to Chairman Chiang and the Military Commission in order to boost morale and boost spirits.

An Yi shook his head, vetoed it, and personally called the young marshal to report the victory. Then he told the brothers to pause their joy and go to the map. And when he took up the baton, he poured cold water on the brethren.
