In Liulin Town, 251 Highlands, the defense line guarded by the soldiers. As a large number of Japanese devils reached here one after another, Japanese devils launched a retaliatory charge against the soldiers' positions.

Every time there are tens of thousands of Japanese devils, and a large-scale group charge, the soldiers resist stubbornly. After killing a large number of Japanese devils, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The soldiers fought fiercely until the next morning, and they repelled five or six large-scale charges from the Japanese, and nearly half of the soldiers suffered casualties. Finally, the commander of the ** Division Liao Yaoxiang and the commander of the 4th Column Luo Jihua discussed and decisively ordered the soldiers stationed in the 251st position to give up their positions and retreat to defend Liulin Town and several highlands near Liulin Town.

In addition, in order to strengthen the defense of Liulin Town, the 4th Column sent another infantry regiment into the defense line of Liulin Town. In Liulin Town and its nearby positions, the defensive troops reached the strength of 6 infantry regiments.

The ** Division also sent its artillery regiment to Liulin Town. The ** Division's artillery regiments all had vehicle-mounted howitzers, which moved quickly and entered and exited the battlefield quickly. Considering the advantages of vehicle-mounted howitzers, Liao Yaoxiang sent his artillery regiment to Liulin Town.

At this time, Liulin Town had gathered a large number of soldiers. In Liulin Town and several highlands around, a defense line of more than ten kilometers had been formed, cutting off the roads and railways that the Japanese rely on to move south.

early morning.

At this time, a large number of Japanese devils had appeared in the 215 Highlands, which were abandoned by the soldiers. Many of the Japanese devils' divisions had reached here. In this area, plus the previous 39th Division and 63rd Division, Japanese devils had gathered the troops of five divisions.

Because the 39th Division and the 63rd Division have been crippled, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses last night's retaliatory charge. According to the Japanese's own statistics, from noon yesterday to now, in less than 20 hours of fighting, the Japanese have suffered more than 30,000 casualties.

In addition to the 10,000 deaths of these 30,000 Japanese soldiers killed by the flight brigade's plane, about 20,000 Japanese soldiers died on the road of charge.

At this time, in front of the 251 Highland, there were a vast area where the Japanese were covered with corpses. They looked like a hell on earth, and it was terrible, with a strong smell of blood in the air.

Many Japanese devils were silently collecting the Japanese devils' bodies. There were dark red areas on the ground, and they were soaked in the blood of Japanese devils.

At the highest point of the 251 Highland, several Japanese division commanders were standing there. Looking at this vast area, the Japanese division commanders are now standing on a high place to see the situation on the battlefield more clearly.

Seeing the vast area, there were corpses of Japanese devils everywhere, almost nowhere to be seen, the faces of several Japanese lieutenant generals were very gloomy and in a very bad mood.

Datong.

Early in the morning, Zhang Yunfei got up. Looking at Lin Yuxin who was still sleeping beside him, Zhang Yunfei got up quietly, not wanting to disturb Lin Yuxin who was sleeping.

Since getting pregnant, Lin Yuxin has become a little sleepy, which is also a normal phenomenon for pregnant women. Zhang Yunfei wants Lin Yuxin to have a good rest and raise a good fetus. At that time, it is best to give birth to a fat boy for herself.

These days, the war on the front line has been very fierce. However, every night, Zhang Yunfei still rushed back from the 36th Army Command to accompany Lin Yuxin.

As for the command center, there are senior personnel from the 36th Army on duty every night. Last night, Comrade Liu Dazhu was on duty in the command center.

Zhang Yunfei gently kissed Lin Yuxin's white forehead, carefully covered Lin Yuxin with a quilt, walked out of the bedroom, hurriedly finished breakfast, took the off-road vehicle to the command of the 36th Group Army.

As soon as they entered the command hall of the command center, several combat staff were busy. When they saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, they immediately stood up, stood attentively, and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Chief!"

Comrade Liu Dazhu, who was on duty in the command hall, was shocked when he saw Zhang Yunfei coming in and immediately said happily: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!"

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, waved his hand, and asked, "Comrades, how is the situation on the front line?"

Comrade Liu Dazhu next to him, when he saw Zhang Yunfei asking, he immediately said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, our front-line troops have sent back a large number of telegrams. We have sorted it out a little and I will give you a detailed report."

"We blocked the 4th Column and the ** Division of the Japanese who went south in Siping. From noon yesterday to this morning, we stubbornly blocked the Japanese for 20 hours in the 251 Highland north of Liulin Town, and annihilated the Japanese for more than 30,000.

At present, the 4th Column and the ** Division have given up the 251st Highlands and deployed 6 infantry regiments in the Liulin Town area to prepare to block the Japanese from going south to reinforce Shenyang again.

In addition, the columns we attacked Shenyang were progressing smoothly. Although we encountered sporadic resistance from the Japanese, it basically did not affect everyone's itinerary. It is expected that by tomorrow morning, each column will encounter the Japanese troops, and the battle outside Shenyang will begin.

In addition, the Flight Brigade has also achieved good results. Yesterday, more than 200 aircraft were dispatched to bomb many of the Japanese positions, destroying many fortifications of the Japanese. In addition, according to the Flight Brigade's report, only yesterday afternoon, there were no less than 30,000 Japanese killed by the Flight Brigade,..."

Comrade Liu Dazhu spent more than ten minutes to give a relatively comprehensive report on the general situation to Zhang Yunfei. After listening to Liu Dazhu's report, Zhang Yunfei was still quite happy.

So far, the 36th Army has annihilated at least 50,000 Japanese soldiers, equivalent to two Japanese divisions, which is a very good start.

Zhang Yunfei walked to the huge military map, looked carefully at the situation marked on the map, and then, Zhang Yunfei said seriously: "Transfer the order now!"

Seeing that the commander-in-chief conveyed the latest order, all the personnel in the command hall stopped working, all stood up and looked at Zhang Yunfei respectfully.

Zhang Yunfei looked around everyone, nodded slightly, and then began to convey the order seriously: "Order the Flying Brigade to continue to carry out large-scale bombing of the Japanese; order each column to move forward as planned, and all reach the designated position before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning; order the 4th Column and the ** Division to continue to stick to the defense line and not allow the Japanese to break through the four levels. At the same time, the mechanized infantry regiments and tank regiments of the 4th Column and the ** Division to increase the intensity of the attack on the Japanese."

Zhang Yunfei's orders were not long before they could convey the troops on the front line.

*******

To the north of Siping, about 30 to 40 kilometers, the first tank regiment of the 1st Division of the 4th Column Infantry Division was resting here. There was a large forest here, and many tanks of the tank regiment were hidden in this forest, and the soldiers were resting here.

Around the woods are endless plains, which is the hinterland of the Northeast Plain. This forest is also a rare large forest. Although the trees are relatively sparse, it is still difficult to find the soldiers if you look from a distance.

The first tank regiment has fought twice since noon yesterday. The first was to attack a regiment of the Japanese devils, killing at least 1,000 Japanese devils. The second was to attack a team of two Japanese devils in the puppet Manchukuo. The soldiers had just fired a few shots and fired a few shots, and the two Japanese devils were defeated and fled in all directions.

Now, while resting here, the soldiers were waiting for new combat orders, the 4th Column Cavalry Regiment and dozens of reconnaissance squads were detecting the movements of the Japanese.

Next to a Type 39 tank, the soldiers leaned against the tank at will, looking lazy and very comfortable. Now is a rare rest time.

A soldier looked at the platoon leader next to him and said with a smile: "Platform leader! We have been hiding here for several hours, and we have faded out of the birds, so it's better to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese."

The second lieutenant platoon leader of the tank regiment nodded in agreement, "Xiao Zhao! I think we will receive an order from our superiors soon and we can kill the Japanese immediately."

"Platform leader! I can't wait in a hurry." The soldier named Xiao Zhao couldn't help but said anxiously: "It would be great if I set off right now."

Before the second lieutenant platoon leader could answer, many soldiers saw their company commander and shouted loudly in the distance: "Comrades, hurry up and get in the car, the enemy situation will appear in front of you."

Seeing that it was time to fight again, many soldiers swept away their lazy equipment just now and were very energetic and quickly got into their chariots.

The 1st Tank Regiment had received an order from the Joint Command that the Japanese heavy artillery brigade were found less than five kilometers northeast of the 1st Tank Regiment.

The Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade, dozens of 155mm heavy howitzers, more than 100 large trucks, and more than a dozen armored vehicles, marched for two kilometers and were slowly marching along the road.

The Japanese Heavy Artillery Brigade is an important force of the Japanese Kwantung Army. The Japanese rely on these heavy artillery to provide artillery fire support to their troops or suppress the heavy artillery group of the 36th Army.

The entire Japanese Kwantung Army was not equipped with several heavy artillery brigades. This heavy artillery brigade was also an Japanese army to reinforce Shenyang. For the Japanese Kwantung Army, it is also a very important strategic force.

The soldiers received combat orders and launched their own tanks one after another. Although the first tank registrar was not fully equipped, there were nearly 100 Type 39 tanks and 30 to 40 armored personnel carriers.

A huge cluster of chariots emerged from this forest and galloped into the distance.
