The roar of the steam engine. Trains are speeding south. More than a dozen cars are more flatbed trailers. Tanks and armoured vehicles were loaded on top, as well as some field guns and ammunition, and in order to drag these heavy wagons, the train had two locomotives, one pulled forward and one pushed backward.

Bu Yunxian sat in the guard car of the countdown section of the train, surrounded by his staff officers and adjutants, who were carefully studying a map and discussing a few words from time to time.

This train was loaded mainly with members of the brigade headquarters of the Ministry of Runxian, as well as some armored combat vehicles and weights, who had just left the south from Xiongyue City in the north, and their destination was Dalian in the south, and they were not forward troops or rear guard troops. But it was the command center of the armored forces.

Speaking of which, the ministry still has some opinions on this transfer.

Originally, according to the original tactical arrangement, Gao Runxian should have commanded his independent armored brigade to march east from Xiongyue City, cross the hilly area in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, and flank the Japanese army in Dagushan with the East Route Column coming from the east, but his independent armored brigade had not even had time to assemble. As soon as Wu Luzhen, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, gave an order, the department had to lead the independent armored brigade south to Dalian and Lushun.

Although this military transfer was a forced action of the former enemy headquarters, in the opinion of the Ministry Runyan, it was difficult for some strong men to transfer the armored troops with excellent mobility to attack the military fortress, although he also understood that because the Japanese army was entrenched in the mountainous area of Dagushan, the armored troops could not wield their mobile advantages, but compared with attacking the fortress, the armored troops seemed to be more suitable for field warfare.

However, for the sake of the overall strategic situation, the department still led the armored troops to the south immediately, and his brigade headquarters had already advanced dozens of miles deep into the hilly area when he received the order to transfer south. His brigade headquarters moved a beat slower, and when the poisonous forward troops were already approaching Pulandian, the brigade headquarters of the Independent Armored Brigade had just arrived at the railway line, and then it was hurriedly loaded and set off, and after a long journey in the morning, it finally approached Pulandian.

Pulan is located in the south of Fuzhou and north of Jinzhou. It is located on the coastline on both sides of the Liaodong Peninsula with the east and the west and the east, and the Kanto Prefecture, the "leased territory" of Japan, is also divided by the straight line between Pulandian and Xiziwo. The north belongs to the "leased land", so it can be said that only by crossing the Pulandian can you really step into the leased land in Kanto Prefecture.

Just a few minutes ago; Helping Runyi get the notice of the commander, saying that he had arrived at Caolandian, so he found a map, and discussed tactics with the staff officers on the map

At the same time, he was told that after a few miles of walking, the train would have to stop, because a railway bridge ahead had been destroyed by the Japanese army, and it would have to wait for the sappers to complete the emergency repairs before moving forward.

Soon, the train slowed down, and finally stopped, and the Ministry of Prison asked for the current location, which was just north of Changdian, and had passed Pulandian. Judging from the map, they have indeed set foot on the boundary of "Kanto Prefecture", and on the right side of the train you can see a bay, which is Pulandian Bay.

Along the way, the train has never stopped because the bridge was damaged, that is, the railway bridge in Kumatake Castle was damaged by the Japanese army. However, it only took one day for the sappers to complete the repair, and now, seeing that they were about to hit Dalian, they saw a railway bridge destroyed by the Japanese army. This shows that the Japanese army obviously used this place as a front line.

In fact, as soon as Huo Zhuo stopped, Gao Runjiao and his staff officers heard the sound of gunfire coming from afar, it was from the south, the gunfire was very fierce, maybe the battle was in full swing.

Bu Runxian walked out of the carriage with the staff officers. Standing on the edge of the small river and looking south, but there was nothing to see except some black smoke on the horizon, but on the river beach I saw some ruts run over by armored vehicles, both the track prints of tanks and the wheel prints of armored vehicles, which were obviously left by the forward troops, who did not wait for the bridge to be repaired, but crossed directly over the river and went into battle, and on the bank of the river, there were several armored vehicles throwing cobalt, which were also left by the forward troops.

The river is not deep, only up to the thighs of the people. Armored vehicles can completely wade, and infantry can also pass, but the artillery is slightly more troublesome. The ammunition on the artillery cart had to be thought of otherwise.

The ministry looked at the sky, and it was overcast. A torrential rain seems to be accumulating, and every second counts, otherwise it will be difficult to cross the river once it rains and the river rises.

"Herald! All armored combat vehicles and infantry got off, we also waded across the river, and artillery shells were sent by armored vehicles, no matter what. We can't wait here. ”

Bu Runxian immediately gave an order, while the staff officer gave the order, he looked at the railway bridge that was damaged by the Japanese army, the bridge was completely damaged, and it was impossible to completely repair it without a day or two of work, and the commander of the forward unit obviously held the same opinion as him, after the troops arrived at the river, they also chose to get off the train to fight, as for the train that gathered the troops over, they also rushed back to Pulandian in reverse, in fact, Bu Runji. The reason why the commander insisted on driving the train to the river was mainly to transport the troops to the place close to the front line as much as possible, and the military operation was racing against time, which was also emphasized by Ji Yushuang, the commander of the South Road Column, and now, this Ji Commander is directing the operation on the other side of the river.

Soon, all the troops on the train got off the train, the infantry units crossed the river first, and the armored units were divided into two parts, the tanks and infantry crossed the river together to establish defensive positions on the other side of the river, while the "Yellow Dog" armored vehicles and armored cars were temporarily left on the north bank of the river so that the artillery could load the vehicles with shells.

He didn't stay long by the river. Soon he crossed the river in a tank, and when he reached the other side of the river, the telephone company had already been in contact with the command department in front, and on the phone, Gao Runyi finally heard the sound of the monsoon rain and frost.

"Brigade Commander Gao, you came just in time, I order you. Immediately command an armored detachment to prepare a detour to the east, and wait for the staff officers I sent to arrive. You can get out, remember, be sure to cut off the back of the Japanese army and annihilate the Japanese army. ”

Ji Yushuang also simply, without saying a word, he issued an attack order, and it was Gao Runxian's favorite roundabout outflanking, this order made all the officers and soldiers of the armored force excited, they knew that the opportunity to make meritorious service had come again, and it was up to the department to arrange the attack.

Twenty minutes later, several staff officers arrived from the headquarters in armored cars and brought several maps. The possible deployment of the Japanese troops had been indicated on the map, and with reference to the map, Bu Runxian and his staff officers quickly completed the tactical arrangements. The rest depends on the performance of the officers and soldiers.

Zou Runjiao divided the assault force into two detachments. The first detachment consisted of twenty tanks, twenty armored vehicles, twenty-five armored vehicles. The second detachment was composed of 25 tanks and 20 armored vehicles, and was responsible for the rear, and the two units were several kilometers apart from each other, in order to cover the assault of the armored troops. There were also two infantry battalions and the corresponding logistical support troops, which was almost all the strength that Gao Runxian could use.

After leaving the sortie position, this armored assault force first advanced in a southeasterly direction, then turned around and moved in a southwesterly direction, all the way forward. Barely met with decent resistance, and the Japanese commanders clearly placed the main forces in the front direction of Changdian, and the defense of the flanks was as contemptuous as ever.

The Ministry of Prison caught the negligence of the Japanese commander. Commanding troops to assault all the way, usually crushing the small number of enemy units encountered, but instead of pursuing, they plunged straight into the rear of the enemy's main force.

Two hours later, the Ministry of Prison led an armored assault force to occupy Shihe Town, south of Changdian, cutting off the South Manchurian railway and cutting off the enemy's rear road in Changdian. After a short break. The Ministry of Runjiao immediately commanded the troops to attack northward, and attacked the north and south of the Monsoon Rain and Frost Department from the north, crushing the enemy at Changdian in one fell swoop, eliminating more than 5,000 Japanese troops, and clearing the obstacles on the way to the south.

In Changdian Town, Gao Runjiao and Ji Yushuang triumphantly joined forces, and immediately established an advance base in Changdian, using captured Japanese supplies to strengthen the defensive line, and at the same time took a telegram urging the follow-up troops to hurry up.

Changdian is the gateway to Jinzhou, and the news of the loss of Changdian strongly stimulated the Japanese army in Jinzhou, so. In the afternoon of the same day, the counterattack of the Japanese army in the direction of Jinzhou immediately began.

In order to recapture Changdian in one fell swoop, Akiyama Yoshiko mobilized nearly 10,000 troops, almost hollowed out the Jinzhou defenders, and transferred all the field artillery that could be used to the front line, in order to cover the movement of the troops, the Japanese army even dispatched a train, which was not an ordinary train, this was actually a "substitute armored train." "The locomotive is inlaid with steel plates on both sides, and sandbags are piled up in the stuffy tank carriages, which provides good protection for the train, but because it is a substitute armored train, the firepower is very weak, and the maneuverability is not strong.

The Japanese counterattack force attacked north along the South Manchurian railway line, which was menacing, and it was also divided into two columns, one by railway to Changdian, and the other by winding to the east, trying to outflank the rear of the squadron.

In the face of the Japanese attack, Ji Yushuang responded calmly and divided the troops into two groups, one under his command. Defending the position of the long store, one was led by the head of the department. Assault to the east and give the Japanese outflanking troops a counter-outflanking.

Before nightfall, the second battle officially began, and under the personal command of the division commander Akiyama Yoshiko, the Japanese troops attacking the front position of Changdian were extremely crazy. Several white-knuckle charges, but under the stubborn resistance of the squadron, the Japanese army has never been able to break through the Changdian defensive line, and the Japanese unit that detoured to the northeast was also attacked by the armored detachment head-on and had to retreat to the south, but was pursued by the Chinese armored troops, suffered heavy losses, and Jinzhou was also threatened.

In the face of the counterattack of the squadron, Akiyama Yoshiko was worried that Jinzhou would be captured by the Chinese armored forces, so he only ordered a retreat in the middle of the night, and all the Japanese troops withdrew south, continuing to hold on to Jinzhou and waiting for reinforcements.
