"Hit!!"

Seeing this, Qu Zhongyi hurriedly ordered to open fire, and the heavy machine gun team and mortar team were the first to fire, and the Type 17 light machine gun and Czech light machine gun also joined in, pulling out chains of fire in the night sky, and not far away, the soldiers who were startled by the explosion could be faintly seen.

After a few dull sounds, the shells of the mortar group also flew to the heads of the Yue army, and the Yue army, which had been attacking smoothly with the help of heavy artillery and armored vehicles, suddenly encountered death.

A squad of the Japanese army that rushed to the front suddenly exploded with mortar shells, and an explosion came from the rear of the armored car.

......Seeing this, several other armored vehicles hurriedly strafed the suspicious target, trying to eliminate the enemy who had destroyed the armored car just now.

"Resisted by the Chinese soldiers? Also lost an armored car? Yo Xi, immediately organize a charge, and the emperor [***] people will use a decisive charge to eliminate the last resistance of the Chinese soldiers. ”

The troops led by Captain Masasa Kawashima of the Yoriki garrison rushed to the front line, and when the news of the resistance from the front came, Kawashima decided to launch a decisive assault instead of being afraid. Although he knew that the follow-up troops were coming to support one after another, he still wanted to personally defeat the recalcitrant [***] people.

"Boom, boom......"

Two more explosions, and the two armored cars again became the ghosts of the anti-tank guns, however, at this time, the anti-tank fire team was also exposed, and there was no time to transfer at all, it was covered by the vehicle-mounted machine gun bullets fired by several armored cars, so to speak, except for the occasional shelling, the anti-tank team was the first to die in the special operations battalion soldiers.

"Kill it!!"

Kawashima Masa drew his saber and did not even hold a gun, and personally led the team to launch a decisive attack, and the coordinated attack was followed by the grenadier canister of the Japanese army, although the Taisho ten-year grenadier was not very powerful, but at this time, it caused another batch of new casualties to the soldiers of the special operations battalion of the Northeast Army.

"Fire!!"

Qu Zhongyi stretched out his hand to grab a Czech light machine gun, and first strafed the somewhat hideous Yue army that was reflected in the fire, maybe it was an accident, rushing to the front of Kawashima Zheng, only to feel that his body was knocked away by a huge force, and his abdomen was numb for a while, and he reached out to touch it, but he directly touched a hole in his abdomen, and wet things were flowing out of the hole.

"Ahh Kawashimamasa's screams indicate that since the Japanese army attacked the Northeast Army, the first captain officer was killed by the Northeast Army.

However, Kawashimamasa's death did not stir up any waves, and even in the black curtain, the fire generated by the burning did not shine too much on his corpse, and in the firelight, it was the army that kept rushing forward.

"Submachine gun ready!!"

Although the special operations battalion is well-trained, and its individual weapons are slightly stronger than those of the attacking army at this time, at night, this advantage is not obvious, and only submachine guns are the sharp weapons for close-range night fighting.

"Da Da Da ......"

When the army rushed to the fortifications of the special operations battalion with the help of night and flickering firelight, the submachine guns of the special operations battalion finally rang out. This kind of butcher who fights in close quarters on the battlefield knocks down the soldiers who are trying to rush over one by one. A dense stream of submachine gun bullets almost effortlessly repelled the offensive momentum of a squadron. He left dozens of corpses behind, and the rest of them hurriedly retreated.

"Count the casualties of each company."

When Qu Zhongyi got the casualty report, his face jumped sharply, and his swollen face could be seen clearly by the faint light of the fire, and he killed three armored vehicles himself, but lost an anti-tank group, repelled the attack of a squadron, killed and wounded dozens of devils, and relied on the fortifications on his side, and also killed and injured seven or eight people.

The battle has just begun, and it is foreseeable that it will soon usher in the accurate shelling of Yue himself, Qu Zhongyi is a little anxious, why haven't the reinforcements of the Northeast Army arrived yet? Shouldn't you take advantage of the situation to repel yourself? Immediately sent Zhu Yuyu to the armory to check the situation in person.

Sure enough, before Zhu Yuyu returned, the second wave of attacks by the Yue army began, and this time the attack was even more violent, with a total of ten armored cars, driving savagely, and the on-board machine guns kept strafing. This time, the army's attack was much more hidden, and many people bent their bodies and moved from the ruins of the barracks to the positions of the special operations camp.

"Battalion commander, the devil has come up from the left flank."

There were not many fortifications in the Beidaying camp, and only some of the more than 300 people in the special operations battalion could evade themselves with the help of the fortifications. When the army took advantage of the darkness of the night to touch the flank, they immediately engaged the soldiers of the special operations battalion who relied on the barracks building to fight back.

Da Bang ......Bang Bang Submachine guns and rifles, as well as the sound of grenade explosions were intertwined. Although the submachine guns at close range showed great power and retreated with heavy casualties from the sneak attack troops on his flanks, the special operations battalion also suffered many casualties due to the grenadiers of the Yue army.

"Fuck, it's a big night, it's so accurate to say that this soldier's marksmanship is so accurate."

Although he had already heard that he was accurate in shooting, when Qu Zhongyi saw with his own eyes those soldiers who could shoot accurately by the light of the fire, he couldn't help but feel angry, although the special operations battalion was elite, it could not stand up to a large number of veterans of the army.

"Why hasn't Zhu Yuyu come back yet??"

Taking advantage of the interval between his own attacks, Qu Zhongyi urged the members of the special operations battalion to pay attention to concealment and prepare to meet another round of attacks by the Yue army, while worrying that the direction of the armory would change.

"Yingza, something is wrong!!"

A soldier stumbled over from a distance, and Qu Zhongyi recognized that it was a soldier of a special operations battalion brought by Zhu Yuyu, "The Nanjing Central Political Axe and the Beiping Zhang Dashuai jointly ordered that in the face of the attack of the Kwantung Army, all units of the Northeast Army should retreat in time. First, weapons should be stockpiled to avoid the outbreak of more unmanageable conflicts. ”

"What ???"

Qu Zhongyi only felt that a cold breath suddenly rushed from his feet to the top of his head, and the curtain of the past finally surfaced in his heart, and some secrets buried in the deepest part of his heart were also opened.

“…… It is said that people occupy Taiwan and Kanto, invade Shandong, kill our people, and look at the land of the mainland with the heart of an island country. It is said that the army is well-trained and well-equipped, and the soldiers, in particular, have the heart to serve the country to the death. In this way, once the war starts, it will be difficult to stop the iron hooves of the people with only the troops in the northeast. If the officers and men of the Northeast Army use their lives, then this battle is expected to be limited to the Northeast. Once the Northeast Army is unfavorable in battle, after occupying the Northeast, it is feared that the resources of the Northeast will be used for their own use, increase their strength, and then wave their troops to the south......"

After spending a few years in the Northeast Army, he originally thought that the probability of the possible surnames predicted by the instructor would be very small, but it was not until he got the news that the top brass of the Northeast Army banned the issuance of weapons to soldiers to resist himself, and he knew that things were really like the several possible surnames predicted by the instructor back then, and it could be the worst possible surname, that is, a full-scale war between China and China.

"Xu Cunzhi, you take over from me and command the special operations battalion, I'll go to the back and take a look. Follow me in two rows!! "In any case, Qu Zhongyi also wants to fight for it one last time, the seven or eight thousand brothers in the Beida Battalion, do they really want to run away without firing a shot? And then leave the Shenyang behind you to himself? With a platoon of soldiers, he handed over the command of the special operations battalion to the commander of a company and rushed to the arsenal.

He was well aware of his mission, but that mission was only to be undertaken in the worst of circumstances. Now, on the premise of not affecting the mission, he wants to fight again, for the Northeast Army, for the entire Northeast, and even for the entire nation.

The armory was not far away, and when he arrived, the entire armory was surrounded by water, and almost all the brothers of the North Battalion were still there, surrounding a group of people.

Those people in the middle, Qu Zhongyi, recognized them at a glance, Zhao Zhenfan, chief of staff of the 7th Brigade of Beidaying, Lieutenant General Wang Yizhe, commander of the 7th Brigade, and Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Lieutenant General of the Office of the Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army. Beside them was the guard of the city commander's office, about the strength of a platoon. These guards are crushing the officers and men of the North Battalion.

“…… Brothers, it's not that I'm Rongzhen who won't let you fight, Lao Tzu also wants to fight with himself. However, we should look at the big picture. In addition to the strength of the Kwantung Army, the Korean army has also been drawn and is about to enter the northeast. In this Northeast War, our Northeast Army was not ready, and the Nanjing Political Axe was not ready. As soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders......"

"Fart, bullshit."

Before Rong Zhen's words were finished, Qu Zhongyi interrupted him with a roar, and the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion who surrounded him all recognized the red man of the Beida Battalion, the commander of the special operations battalion, seeing that his face was black, and his military uniform was also dirty, and there were blood stains, knowing that he had just come back from the front, they all felt a murderous aura, and involuntarily retreated, Ren Qu Zhongyi walked forward with the second platoon of soldiers, all of them were soldiers who had just experienced the battle, and the murderous atmosphere was awe-inspiring.

"Qu Zhongyi, don't mess around." Lieutenant General Wang Yizhe saw that his favorite general was so impulsive, for fear of angering Rong Zhen, even if the Beida Battalion failed, the Northeast Army could still retreat into the pass, and there would still be a chance to fight him in the future. We can't let an outstanding officer of the Young Zhuang faction like Qu Zhongyi suffer in front of him.

Qu Zhongyi first saluted Wang Yizhe, and then ignored Rong Zhen, turned around, jumped into a car, and shouted to the more than 8,000 soldiers of the Beida Battalion in front of him: "Brothers, as a soldier, the enemy is behind you, and you are empty-handed, don't you feel humiliated?"

Since the First Sino-Japanese War, China has long formed an indissoluble national feud. Whether as a soldier or a Chinese, in the face of the great enemy of the country, can we give up, can we swallow our anger and retreat like dogs? ?

We can't! If all the soldiers retreat, will the unarmed civilians be allowed to resist the invaders? Do you want old men in their seventies and eighties to pick up swords and guns to resist? Do you want women, children, and children to come and fight the enemy?

As a soldier, Lao Tzu is not made of steel, he is also flesh and blood, your ** can't stop guns and bullets, and Lao Tzu can't stop it. But just now, it was our special operations battalion that was behind to block the enemy's ferocious attack. What are we killing and wounding so many brothers for? In order to give the brothers a respite, so that the brothers can take up the weapons in their hands and turn back with us to fight back against the shameful Yue himself.

Now, because of a bullshit order, he wants our Northeast Army to retreat nearly 10,000 years, surrender the Beidaying to Yue himself, and surrender the entire Shenyang to Yue himself. What do the high-ranking politicians want to do, do they want to bury the entire Northeast, do they want to repeat the hatred of the country? ?

Tell me, do you want to be a thief to the country, want your hometown to be occupied by the people, want your wife, children and parents to die under the bayonets of the people, and want the entire Northeast to be ravaged by the iron hooves of the people??? ”

"No, never. Qu Yingzuo, give us a gun, the man dies with a big scar, and Lao Tzu will still be a good man twenty years later. ”

"Battalion, give us guns, the brothers of the special operations battalion are not afraid of death, and we are also not afraid of death."

"yes, it!"

At this moment, Rong Zhen jumped into the car, and the soldiers of the two platoons were facing each other, but they did not speak at each other, "Qu Zhongyi, what do you want to do, do you want to rebel?" If you don't obey orders, Lao Tzu will kill you now. ”

Looking at the muzzle of the gun that Rong Zhen was about to point at him, Qu Zhongyi quickly kicked the gun in his hand away, and a platoon of the special operations battalion even nervously aimed the muzzle of the gun at the guard of the headquarters, and everyone did not dare to move.

"Rong Zhen, don't spew blood, Lao Tzu rebelled, I think you want to rebel, betray the Northeast Army, betray the Northeast, and betray the entire nation. As the chief of staff of the Border Guard, if you don't fight an enemy when it comes, but here you point a gun at Lao Tzu who just came from the line of fire, you kind. Lao Tzu asked you, is it the Northeast Military University or the Northeast University? Is the young marshal the big or the nation the biggest? Is it better to run away in embarrassment to preserve strength, or is it better to fight back against the invaders? ”

"You ......" Rong Zhen couldn't say if he was bitter, seeing that the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion were already excited, he knew that his task could not be carried out, but he did his best, and the black pot was also carried back, and he was not ashamed of the young marshal, and smashed his fist on the car baffle, and immediately bled non-stop, "It's okay, you Qu Zhongyi is in charge, Lao Tzu doesn't care." ”

The hatred of the family and the country and the orders of the superiors, the loyalty of the soldiers and the national righteousness collided fiercely in his mind, and Rong Zhen only felt that he had never been as sad as he was now.

Qu Zhongyi jumped out of the car, walked in front of General Wang Yizhe, saluted and said, "Brigade commander, I'm sorry!" ”

Immediately, under the surveillance of the special operations battalion, a group of officers from the 7th Brigade and the Border Command Office stepped aside, and Qu Zhongyi waved his hand, "Open the warehouse and fire the gun!" ”

The armory was opened, and from time to time weapons and ammunition were distributed to the soldiers of the Beida Battalion. The squad leader died, and the deputy squad leader went up. The battalion commander died, and the deputy battalion commander went up. Some companies are almost two companies in size, although it is a little chaotic, but it is better than the dragons without a leader.

"My special operations battalion and the rest of the 2nd Regiment are guarding the center. Chief of Staff Zhao, you lead the 1st Regiment to defend the left flank. Commander Chu, you take two battalions to defend the right flank. ”

Qu Zhongyi simply assigned the task, and now it was almost 12 o'clock, and there was still fierce gunfire in front of him, saying that after his attack was effectively resisted, the difficulty of the night battle had already appeared. Now the most important thing is to arrange the defensive position and find out the situation ahead, he didn't want to command those troops, even if he could temporarily suppress the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion, but it was better to hand them over to the old superiors.

"Camp, the attack of the devils is too fierce, and at least two squadrons are attacking in turn. The artillery of the Yue army also recalibrated the ...... of firing Zhu Yuan"

As soon as there was a clue about the matter here, Xu Cunyi retreated with the special operations battalion, which was really unstoppable, and the army rushed up like a tide, and the fact that the war with China stimulated every army, and they all launched a decisive charge without dying. And when his own heavy artillery, which was at least 240mm, also joined in to carry out fire coverage, the special operations battalion finally retreated. Although they killed and wounded at least nearly one squadron of devils, they also paid the price of more than 30 casualties again. The entire special operations battalion, which is now intact, is only 257 people.

"Let's get into the fortifications, everyone pay attention to the artillery."

Qu Zhongyi has no more way, if it is a field battle, in the face of the superior army with heavy artillery, he will choose to transfer the strategy, but now, behind him is Shenyang, once he retreats, Shenyang will fall into the enemy's army, which means that the country will be lost.

"Zhu Yuyu!"

"Humble duty."

"You lead two platoons of brothers, take the telegraph, and go into the city. Take over the arsenal and arsenal and wait for orders. "Qu Zhongyi has already thought of the worst, once the battle is unfavorable, then, the Northeast Army property in Shenyang must not be easily left to himself.

After Zhu Yuyu left, Qu Zhongyi returned to the special operations camp, and after comforting the wounded, he arranged for them to withdraw first, and then arranged the defense tasks of the special operations battalion.

The current situation is very serious, and the most important thing is that I don't know how much strength I have invested. If there are only two squadrons, or even one brigade, with more than 8,000 people of the Northeast Army, which is full of fighting spirit, it will still be able to repel it. However, in case the other side dispatches the main force of the Kwantung Army, or even a brigade, this battle of the North Daying will be an extremely sad ending.

But in any case, a defensive counterattack is inevitable, and the Chinese people cannot retreat without a fight and surrender Shenyang to themselves.

It was said that his attack soon reached the last line of defense of Beidaying.

The tide-like soldiers rushed up frantically under the reflection of the firelight. Running at the forefront were still the seven or eight armored cars, spitting out a tongue of fire from time to time, attacking like the improvised fortifications of the Northeast Army opposite.

"Prepare cluster grenade shells."

Amid the return fire of heavy and light machine guns and mortars, the armored vehicles continued to advance aggressively. Many of the soldiers had already touched the improvised position not far ahead, and the cat was shooting at the Northeast Army behind the obstacles, and at this time, the casualties of the soldiers of the Beida Battalion increased significantly.

Qu Zhongyi gave an order, and several daredevils of the special operations battalion rushed out with a small bundle of bundled grenades, and although one of the daredevils was unfortunately swept by the machine gun of his armored car, several other people sneaked to the front of the armored car near the armored car of him.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

With a few explosions, the cluster grenade was thrown under the armored car by the daredevils, and the violent explosion immediately destroyed the armored car, and the one in the best condition was also blown to the ground on its side, and the wheels were damaged.

"Da Da Da ......"

The machine guns on both sides were roaring angrily, and the Taisho 3-style heavy machine guns of the Yue Army and the Type 13 heavy machine guns of the Northeast Army were firing frantically at each other, although the hit rate was surprisingly low, and a round of strafing could not necessarily kill two people, but they did succeed in stopping the momentum of Yue himself's attack.

It has to be said that in night battles, superiority in forces can often determine the fate of the battlefield.

At such times, the only thing that both sides needed to do was to pour more ammunition on the opposing position, and there were no strong permanent fortifications, some were just simple fortifications or obstacles.

"Baga, useless waste, you can't take it down by sneaking up on a Beida camp, and in the end, you still want me to help you clean up the mess."

The Kwantung Army Command, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shigeru Honjo, was furious. Although he had received the following report that some officers of the Shaozhuang faction were going to plan a surprise attack on the Beida Camp of the Northeast Army in Shenyang, he did not pay too much attention to it, occupying Shenyang and expelling the forces of the Northeast Army from Shenyang, not only could he take the plan of occupying the Northeast one step further, but also obtained the astonishing amount of ammunition in Shenyang, not to mention the ready-made weapons, ammunition and aircraft, and even the Shenyang Arsenal would become a tool for the Kwantung Army to support the war and strengthen itself.

So, he acquiesced to the actions of some of the people below. However, he never dreamed that after mobilizing 240mm heavy artillery to carry out a surprise bombardment, and then more than a brigade of Japanese troops to carry out a sudden sneak attack, as a result, after the beginning went well, he encountered resistance.

The number of casualties, which was nearly more than a squadron, made him furious. When he received the information, Ishihara and the others were not only putting the remaining garrison into it, but also preparing to arm the soldiers who had returned to their hometowns and put them in.

Shigeru Honjo received a call for help from Seishiro Itagaki.

"The Northeast Army of Beidaying has the possibility of engulfing the entire attacking force, for the sake of the outstanding soldiers of the empire of the two brigades, I implore Your Excellency the commander to send the main force of the Kwantung Army to level the Beidaying ...... in one fell swoop."

Now, Honjo Shigeru has no more options, picks up the phone, and calls the headquarters of the Second Division.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Jiro Tamen, I'm Shigeru Honjo. Order your unit to immediately plunge into the battle of the Beida Battalion, and be sure to completely defeat the 7th Brigade of the Beida Battalion of the Northeast Army!! ”

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander, rest assured, the task will be completed!"

At about three o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the Northeast Army, whose physical fitness is relatively poor, have begun to show fatigue, and these soldiers have poor physical fitness, and they cannot eat well, plus it is now the night of September, and the weather is already very cold. Many of them ran out of the barracks wearing only a pair of trousers.

There was no progress in the confrontation with the Yue army, although Qu Zhongyi also launched two tentative counter-charges, but they were all repelled by Yue himself, I have to say that in this case of night fighting, neither side can take a big advantage in attacking.

However, Qu Zhongyi found out the approximate strength of the army.

"There are less than two brigades of men and horses in the army, almost more than 2,000 people." Qu Zhongyi, Zhao Zhenfan and others got together and began to discuss a new counterattack.

"The army is well-trained, and the quality of individual soldiers far exceeds that of our Northeast Army. If it was during the day, even if the entire Seventh Brigade went up, it might not be able to repel them, and everyone saw their performance in the night battle just now. So, we need to take a different plan.

In the first two trials, we found out the distribution of the enemy's forces, so this time, we will organize superior forces and carry out a real counter-charge against the enemy. Qu Zhongyi said first.

"Well, the combat effectiveness of the Yue Army is obvious to all, and in some of the previous conflicts between the Kwantung Army and us, the formation of troops of the same level was not their opponent at all. However, it is different now, it is night, and the troops of the two brigades are crowded in the front part of the Beida camp, which is our opportunity. ”

Zhao Zhenfan also agreed to counterattack, after all, it was night, if it was put in the daytime, then the Northeast Army would have to retreat, "If we don't quickly defeat the two brigades, as soon as the morning dawns, we may have to retreat." ”

"I agree!" The head of the 3rd regiment, Chu, also agreed.

Several people understood that the Northeast Army was attacked by the army at night, but at night it was not an assistant to the Northeast Army, and only at this time, relying on the advantage of troops and familiarity with the terrain, to surround the enemy as soon as the morning dawned, there were more than 2,000 devils.

Although according to the evaluation of the army by the middle and high-ranking officers of the Northeast Army, a force of more than 8,000 people could not defeat the army of more than 2,000 people, but at this time, everyone agreed to try to counterattack.

"Okay, I suggest that from the area of the canteen, at least two battalions of troops are needed to cut off the rear road of the Yue army, and then flank the front and back to encircle and suppress the Yue army in the encirclement......"

The officers of the Beida Battalion were discussing how to counter-encircle the Yue army, and the Yue army was also aware of the serious crisis.

"Itagaki-kun, how's it going? What did Your Excellency Commander say? ”

Ishihara was so anxious that he was sweating, although the army that attacked the northern camp reached the strength of two brigades, but after all, the other party had a reinforced brigade with a strength of nearly 10,000 people. You must know that although there are frictions between the Northeast Army and the Kwantung Army from time to time, they have not fought in large units, and as the chief of staff, he does not know what the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides is. And it's dark now, in case the other side takes advantage of the darkness of the night to counterattack, the two brigades will suffer heavy losses.

This kind of fear was actually there from the beginning, but Ishihara couldn't convince his old friend that the sneak attack would go all the way, but it wasn't until he got the majority of the Kwantung Army to form an effective defensive position in the northern part of the camp that he realized the huge crisis.

"The Northeast Army must not be allowed to react, there are nearly 100,000 troops in the Northeast, and there are more Northeast Army in the Pingjin area, once the offensive is blocked, then not only these two brigades, but even the entire Kwantung Army will be in danger of annihilation."

Itagaki Seishiro also had to admit at this time that the plan itself was at great risk, especially after being stubbornly resisted by the Northeast Army. He knows very well that the Chinese have a Xi surname, and when things are frustrated, they will choose to negotiate or make concessions, but once they are in a stalemate, or they are lucky enough to hold Shenyang, they will fight back. It can be seen that the old woman in the late Qing Dynasty dared to declare war on all nations.

"Itagaki-kun, what did Your Excellency the Commander say?"

"Don't worry, my old friend. The 2nd Division was to be engaged in the offensive against the North Battalion in two hours. Itagaki Seishiro said with a smile, "I promise you that as long as we take Shenyang, the Chinese will definitely negotiate with us." This is their national inferior surname. As long as they are scared, they will come to beg for mercy like dogs. The current dying counterattack is nothing more than useless work. Compared to the two [***] teams, they can only accept the fate of being slaughtered. The people of China, in front of the Empire, there will be no miracles. ”

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier walked up to the two and reported: "Report sir, a large number of Chinese troops have appeared behind us, and they have blocked our rear road. ”

"What?? The people of China want to surround us. ”

When they learned that the Northeast Army wanted to eat the two brigades, Ishihara and the others were shocked, and the most feared thing still happened.

At this time, the Shaozhuang faction was like two people, and they did not dare to guarantee that the two brigades of the army would definitely be able to block the encirclement and attack of more than 8,000 Northeast Army.

"Let the troops defend in place and wait for reinforcements. Whether the empire is prosperous or not, in this battle, the monarchs must not disappoint the emperor's hopes. ”

Ishihara and others quickly unified their views with the commanders of the two miscellaneous brigades, and the army turned from offensive to defensive, and heavy artillery was not very useful at this time, and could only rely on small-caliber artillery to assist the operation.

Qu Zhongyi personally led a company of special operations battalions to participate in the roundabout encirclement. When he and the other soldiers of the Northern Battalion charged, they really felt the strength of the army.

In the defensive operation just now, the excellent combat qualities of the Chinese army were not fully reflected, but when they changed from attackers to defenders, their combat level was clearly displayed.

Whether it was rifle shooting, heavy machine gun strafing, or even throwing grenades, the Yue Army was stronger than the Northeast Army. Higher accuracy when shooting, better at concealing oneself, and better at discovering the direction of the attacking enemy, these soldiers are all well-trained professional soldiers, and they are indeed much stronger than the Northeast Army.

"Boom...... Bang Bang Bang ...... Dadada......"

The battle continued, and the Northeast Army also launched a decisive charge against the encircled 2,000-odd Yue troops, and in the eyes of most officers and men in the Northeast, the Yue Army was only more than 2,000 people, so how could it be possible to block the attack of 7 or 8,000 people.

However, when this kind of offensive was also constrained by the night, complex terrain, and ruins, the offensive of the Northeast Army was also ineffective.

The army soon shrank into a ball, like a coiled snake, and the circular defensive belt stubbornly blocked the attack of the officers and men of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army.

"Fuck, if only there were cannons."

Looking at the iron bucket formation of the Yue army, Qu Zhongyi was angry again. The Northeast Army is not without artillery, although most of them are in the Shenyang arsenal, but there are also a batch of them in the Beida Battalion. However, because of the betrayal of the Han Dynasty, the artillery barracks had long been covered by the heavy artillery fire of the Yue Army, and the losses were heavy.

However, he is still dissatisfied with the upper echelons of the Northeast Army, a large number of advanced weapons, either in the treasury or delayed distribution, does he really have to wait for himself to enter Shenyang, all of them have been captured in order to satisfy those upper echelons?

Seeing that time was passing away quickly, Qu Zhongyi knew that if he didn't take some fierce medicine, his support troops might be about to come up, so he first rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Brothers in the special operations battalion, give it to Lao Tzu." ”

Most of the soldiers of the special operations battalion suddenly rushed out of the bunker, and more than 100 people advanced with tactical movements that exceeded those of ordinary soldiers of the Northeast Army, and more than 30 submachine guns at the front. In the face of the turtle huddled into a ball, the shuttle submachine gun swept over, and the army was caught off guard. A rifle with a bolt drawn, when fighting in complex terrain, is far inferior to a submachine gun.

But the special operations battalion only had this chance to charge, and if it wanted to attack again, it had to return to the armory to replenish the pistol ammunition.

More than 100 people in the special operations battalion quickly tore a gap, and the firepower of the army in this direction was obviously much weaker, Zhao Zhenfan seized the opportunity, shouted loudly and began to rush forward with the third regiment.

After many special operations battalions rushed in, the people themselves, who had no time to change their bullets, actually directly put on the rifles with bayonets, and a group of several people surrounded the soldiers of the special operations battalion.

A shuttle swept down two or three, and only then did another one rise up in the corner. knocked down the one on the right, and two more crawled out of the ditch on the left.

The fierce Yue army even raised grenades and rushed towards the soldiers of the Northeast Army who rushed into the gap. The number of special operations battalions was always too small, and they finally waited for the third regiment to come up, but as a result, the combat results of the third regiment were even worse, and they were counterattacked by the army fearlessly and collapsed on the spot.

It's not that they are not brave, but they are really undertrained, and the casual military discipline in peacetime has also caused many soldiers to only know how to follow the blind rush, and once the attack is unfavorable, they will naturally follow the blind and run backwards.

At this time, Qu Zhongyi felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Perhaps, these soldiers of the Northeast Army can not be afraid of fighting, but when facing the well-trained and slightly better weaponized Yue Army, and in the face of their fighting style of not fearing death, the officers and men of the Beida Battalion have more than enough heart but not enough strength.

It is said that the army is shrunk into a ball, and the combat level is superb. On the other hand, the Northeast Army lacked artillery, and with the rapid decline in the physical fitness of the soldiers in the middle of the night, the will to fight was not firm enough, and the combat level was far lower than that of the Yue Army.

Coupled with the difficulty of the night battle, the entire siege battle ended up in a mess. The shrinking army escaped the danger of annihilation, but also paid more than 500 casualties. The casualty rate of up to one-third was really the greatest loss suffered by the army since the start of the sneak attack.

It was a strange night battle, from the beginning when the sneak attackers had the advantage, to the reaction of the sneak attackers, then to the counter-encirclement, and then to a mess. Except for the heavy artillery and armored vehicles at the beginning of the Yue army, the weapons of the two sides were actually on the same step, and the firepower of the Yue army was far superior to that of the Zhong [***] team, as was the case after the Yue Dynasty.

"Report, reinforcements from the Japanese army have arrived. Preliminary estimates put the strength of about one division. ”

When the scout came back, the hearts of Qu Zhongyi and the others were completely cold, and at this time, it was impossible not to retreat.

"Loyalty, retreat."

When facing the crisis of being completely annihilated, Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen and other high-level generals of the Northeast Army came to Qu Zhongyi and other temporary commanders.

"Withdraw? Where to retreat? As an excellent officer, Qu Zhongyi, who has received many years of modern military education, also understands that after the death battle, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion have done their best, and it is time to consider retreating.

Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen exchanged opinions and said, "This battle will be fought if it is not fought. Rong Zhen and I are not the same kind of people as everyone thinks. At this point, we should retreat into Shenyang and wait for help. Chief of Staff Rong and I will tell the young marshal to the death that the matter has come to this point, and we must not give up Shenyang. ”

This is also discussed between Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen, and the order to retreat has been disobeyed, so we can only resist to the end. And as long as the Seventh Brigade can hold out in Shenyang City for a period of time, whether it is out of consideration for the old department, or for the consideration of rivers and mountains, or for the consideration of public opinion, it is impossible for the young marshal to still be the dead order to retreat.

However, Qu Zhongyi also shook his head and said, "No, you can't withdraw into Shenyang, which is too close to the Kwantung Army and less than two hundred kilometers from North Korea. Once the Kwantung Army receives reinforcements from the Korean Army, not to mention the possible follow-up reinforcement plan, these Japanese troops alone will be enough to bury the entire Shenyang, including the Seventh Brigade. We should withdraw to the direction of Jinzhou, rebuild the fortifications, rely on the reinforcements from the Pingjin direction, and cooperate with the various units of the Northeast Army in other parts of the Northeast to barely resist the offensive of the Yue Army. You have also seen the combat effectiveness of the army tonight, we can't deal with a Kwantung Army alone, a multi-division army stationed in Korea is already on the border, and it can enter the northeast at any time, and we can't stick to one place! ”

"Zhongyi, didn't you say before that you couldn't give up Shenyang, why ...... now" Zhao Zhenfan obviously didn't agree with Qu Zhongyi's opinion.

"I'm not against retreating, but as military men, we should resist to the maximum. When the situation is unbearable, we should choose a more optimized combat plan, and this is what we should do in homeland defense operations. Once the enemy's attack is too fierce and it is impossible to resist it to the death, if there is no need to contain and block the enemy, you should choose a better combat plan, retreat to the next place, and build a new defensive line at ease.

"And what do you mean?" Although Rong Zhen didn't like this young man very much, he still admired him very much, and all night, his special operations battalion was the bravest, whether it was defensive or offensive operations, and he achieved the best results. It was hard for him to imagine that if the entire Seventh Brigade was so elite, then it might really be able to hold back a downsized Second Division.

Qu Zhongyi knew in the deepest part of his heart that his mission would really begin, "The large army retreated in the direction of Jinzhou, built a defensive line, and waited for reinforcements." The small unit remained in Shenyang for a generation and carried out guerrilla warfare to contain the Yue army. ”

"That's the guerrilla warfare you've always insisted on, right?" General Wang Yizhe nodded, but in the end he still gave a different decision, "Loyalty, the matter has come to this." If it had been before, I would have been forced to retreat by order from my superiors. But now that the war has been fought, we need to stay in Shenyang. Since it has not retreated, the Northeast Army can no longer bear the black cauldron, but should stick to one place and make an image for the whole nation. ”

Qu Zhongyi nodded indifferently, Wang Yizhe didn't say a word, but he understood. At this time, even if the remaining Northeast Army dies in Shenyang, it will be a good thing for the people to wake up and wake up to them, and it will bring great encouragement to the people in the future.

If you retreat before, it is because of the order, but the battle has already begun, and you must fight to the death, and you can't retreat.

If it weren't for his highest mission, Qu Zhongyi would have wanted to stay, but at this time, whether he stayed or left, he couldn't say anything. Because at this time, whether you leave or stay, there is no right or wrong.

"Special Warfare Battalion Commander Qu Zhongyi listens to orders!" Wang Yizhe suddenly ordered, "Order you to lead your troops to evacuate immediately and continue to fight against Yue himself with special guerrilla operations." Contain the pace of the Chinese invasion and occupation of Northeast China. ”

"Yes!" Qu Zhongyi couldn't help but tears in his eyes, and raised his hand to salute. "General, take care !!"

In 1931, in the early morning of September 18, after losing more than 1,000 people, the army finally took the Beida Camp of the Northeast Army in Shenyang after the second division of reinforcements arrived, and most of the Seventh Brigade withdrew into Shenyang City, and the army also completed the encirclement of Shenyang after the arrival of the Korean army.

Lieutenant General Wang Yizhe, commander of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army, and Rong Zhen, chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Commander's Office, jointly telegraphed to the world: "Shenyang is in danger, the Northeast is in danger, and China is in danger. At the time of the country's survival, we want to fight to the death in Shenyang, hoping that the iron-blooded men of the whole country, and the Chinese soldiers from the north, south, east and west will take up arms together to defend our China and counterattack the enemy!! ”
