Early the next morning, the rising sun rose slowly from the distant eastern sky as usual, and the soft sunlight covered the earth with a layer of golden color.

In the fields on the outskirts of Dengta County, patches of red sorghum are swaying gently with the morning breeze.

The large sorghum field in the northeast of the county has been devastated and in a mess.

There were burnt sorghum everywhere, and there were large and small craters everywhere.

In addition to guns and ammunition scattered everywhere, there were also pieces of Japanese corpses.

In the sorghum field, officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade and the 7th ** Brigade were cleaning the battlefield.

Zhang Xinghan came to the battlefield surrounded by Shen Xingye and other guards, looking at the Japanese corpses everywhere.

Zhang Xinghan felt as if a huge boulder had been put down in vain, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

The 2nd Division was completely wiped out, and Shenyang's soldiers and civilians could evacuate calmly.

Zhang Xinghan said to himself excitedly while feeling relaxed.

"Xinghan!" At this time, a loud shout came from the distance.

Zhang Xinghan looked up and saw General Huang Xiansheng riding a war horse and waving towards him.

"Director Huang" Zhang Xinghan quickly led Shen Xingye forward to greet him.

When he arrived, Huang Xiansheng turned over and dismounted, quickly came to Zhang Xinghan, looked him up and down, stretched out his fist to hit Zhang Xinghan's chest: "Good boy, I haven't seen you for many days, but you have become stronger, but your face is a bit haggard, look at this unshaven beard." , that still looks like a young man in his twenties.”

Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly, and suddenly stood up seriously and saluted Huang Xiansheng with a military salute.

Huang Xiansheng also put away his smile and looked at Zhang Xinghan solemnly.

"Director, if you hadn't handed over the command of the entire city's troops to me that day, Shenyang would have fallen long ago. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of folks in the city, I would like to thank you!" Zhang Xinghan said solemnly.

"Hey, don't say that. The victory of Shenyang was all due to your command, Zhang Xinghan, and all the soldiers who fought for their lives. I, Huang Jingzhong, fled without a fight. I can hardly see the elders of Shenyang. I don't deserve your thanks." !" Huang Xiansheng waved his hands quickly.

"Director, you did not leave Shenyang out of greed for life and fear of death. Xinghan can clearly feel the general's patriotic fervour. Because we are all the same. The blood here is not cold!" Zhang Xinghan said and punched his chest several times. , said awe-inspiringly.

While the two were talking, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Tiehan and Zhang Shixian came over.

"Xinghan, Commander Zhang." Wang Tiehan and Zhao Zhenfan greeted each other one after another.

Zhang Xinghan stepped forward, shook hands with them one by one, and saluted: "Take a seat in the group. Come and take a seat. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Don't call me that, Xinghan, you are now a major general of the army and the commander of the first brigade. Ordinarily I have to call you brigade commander Zhang or general." Wang Tiehan teased very happily.

"Everyone, please stop making fun of Xing Han." Zhang Xinghan smiled calmly and said to them with a solemn hand: "Everyone, this is not the place to talk for the time being. Please follow me back to Shenyang first. Let's catch up on old times and discuss future actions. "

"Okay." Huang Xiansheng and others nodded.

………………………………

Shenyang City, garrison brigade headquarters.

Zhang Xinghan handed over the aftermath instructions such as cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded to the command of Liu Jianguo and Liu Guodong. He, Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan, Wang Tiehan and others returned to the brigade headquarters.

Arriving at the brigade headquarters war room, everyone sat down around the conference table.

"Commander Zhang, we were able to achieve such a glorious victory today. It is all thanks to your meritorious command. Before, I was still hesitant about your battle plan. Now I, Zhang Shixian, am completely convinced. I am convinced." Zhang Shixian said as soon as he sat down. Smiling and clasping fists at Zhang Xinghan.

"Haha." Zhang Xinghan also liked Zhang Shixian's straightforward and straightforward character, and said with a smile: "Brother Shixian, thank you very much. The reason why we can win today's battle is inseparable from the concerted command of everyone, let alone Without our two brigades and nearly ten thousand soldiers fighting for their lives, Zhang Xinghan would never dare to do this alone!"

"Okay, Xinghan. Don't be humble. You can win the Shenyang defense battle twice in a row with thousands of miscellaneous people, which is enough to prove that your commanding ability is far superior to mine." Huang Xiansheng immediately waved his hand to interrupt him. road.

"Yes, what Director Huang said makes sense." Zhao Zhenfan nodded in agreement, then turned around and asked: "Commander Zhang, now we have completely annihilated the enemy's 2nd Division and relieved the crisis facing Shenyang. What next? What are your plans?"

Zhang Xinghan paused and asked instead, "I wonder what Zhao Shenzuo and Director Huang have planned?"

Huang Xiansheng answered first: "I have been to Peiping, and the young marshal has no determination to resist Japan at all. Before coming, I had already decided to gather my troops and join forces with you, Xinghan, to raise the banner of resistance against Japan."

But Xinghan, don’t think too much, I, Huang Jingzhong, have no intention of competing with you for command, as long as you can defeat the Japanese, even if you let me be a soldier."

Huang Xiansheng's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone present.

Zhang Xinghan even smiled and said: "The director's words are out of context. We can discuss who should be the commander when there is a war in the future."

Zhao Zhenfan coughed twice and said to Zhang Xinghan: "Commander Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. Zhao led the 620th and 619th regiments to reinforce Shenyang this time in order to obey his military orders. The brigade instructed us that we should The country and the nation are our top priority, and we will join hands with you to fight against Japan and defend the territory together!"

"Brigade? How is he now? Why didn't he come with the troops himself?" Zhang Xinghan asked quickly when he heard that it was Wang Yizhe's order.

"He said he wanted to give the young marshal an explanation." Zhao Zhenfan said with a somewhat sad expression.

Zhang Xinghan was silent for a while after hearing this, and thought to himself, Zhang Xueliang, Zhang Xueliang, you'd better not do anything to my father-in-law, otherwise you won't blame me for being ruthless.

"Oh, Xinghan, what are you still hesitating about? As long as you are willing, our Seventh Brigade will be jointly organized with your garrison brigade, and you will serve as the commander. After all, the predecessor of your garrison brigade is We are part of the Seventh Brigade of the Communist Party. We were originally brothers, but now we are co-organizers, so we can work together to fight the Japanese." Seeing Zhang Xinghan's silence, Wang Tiehan said carelessly.

"Yes, in terms of military rank and position, you are now fully qualified to serve as the commander of our anti-Japanese armed forces, and I will be your deputy." Huang Xiansheng also immediately expressed his position.

"Well, since you guys have no objections, we have settled the matter of co-editing the two departments for the time being. However, I plan to wait until we evacuate to Tongliao to proceed with the unified reorganization." Zhang Xinghan no longer hesitated and said at the right time.

"What? You want to give up Shenyang?" Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others looked at each other and said in surprise: "Why? We just won a great victory, and Shenyang is still firmly in our hands. Why should we give up Shenyang at this time?"

"Brother Jingzhong, Brother Guoping, you don't know something. The evacuation of Shenyang was a military order personally given to me by Duke Jiang of Nanjing.

Of course, if it were just because of Jiang Gong's telegram, I would not give up Shenyang easily.

The reason why I gave up Shenyang was actually for a longer term plan.

First of all, look at it. Shenyang is located in the hinterland of the Liaoning Plain, and the surrounding terrain is unsafe to defend. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to defend Shenyang for a long time.

You must know that Shenyang is the political, economic center and transportation hub of the three northeastern provinces. The Japanese invaders have been watching for a long time. In addition, they suffered successive losses in the Shenyang area and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, they will never give up.

According to the intelligence I have received, the Japanese are currently making large-scale war preparations on their homeland. Now the Kwantung Army has suffered another disastrous defeat and suffered heavy losses.

Given the nature of the Japanese people, it is inevitable to massively increase the number of troops.

By then, Shenyang will surely become the primary target of attack by the Japanese army.

We only have 10,000 troops at hand and lack sufficient reserve troops. At present, we are still unable to fully and sustainably compete with Japan.

Therefore, we have no choice but to temporarily retreat, abandon Shenyang, avoid its sharp edges, and wait for an opportunity to launch an attack on the Japanese after a period of rest and expansion, and strengthen our strength." Zhang Xinghan pointed at the map and explained.

After Huang Xiansheng, Zhao Zhenfan and others listened, they pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"However, Xinghan. If we evacuate, what will happen to the people of Shenyang, the Shenyang Arsenal, and the Air Force?" Huang Xiansheng knew the importance of the Shenyang Arsenal and the Air Force, and said with a worried face.

Zhang Xinghan smiled and said: "Brother Alarm Bell, you can rest assured. I have sent advance troops to control the Tongliao area and are repairing an airport there to facilitate the evacuation of the air force. As for the people in the city, they began to evacuate one after another a few days ago. About 100,000 people have been evacuated so far, some of whom have arrived in Tongliao, and most of whom are still on the way.

I have also ordered people to start dismantling the various factory machinery and equipment in the Shenyang Arsenal Industrial Zone. It will be completed in the near future and can be loaded into trucks and transported to Tongliao. After the factory is rebuilt, it can continue to be put into production."

"Oh, so you are fully prepared to retreat? It seems that I am worrying too much, haha." Huang Xiansheng relaxed his brows and smiled happily when he heard this.

"Now that the 2nd Division has been completely wiped out by me, the Kwantung Army will no longer be able to invade Shenyang in a short period of time. It is a good time for us to evacuate the whole city. However, you have been commanding and fighting for a whole night, so you must be very tired. So "Okay, let's all go and have a rest first. We will hold a celebration banquet at noon to celebrate this victory, and we will officially start the city-wide evacuation tomorrow." Zhang Xinghan stood up and said.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Huang Xian said, and Zhao Zhenfan and others stood up and left.

After watching everyone leave, Zhang Xinghan summoned Su Hanyun and ordered: "Immediately send a message to the Nanjing National Government and the Marshal's Mansion in Peking. After a night of bloody fighting, our unit has completely annihilated the entire 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army. The specific results are being tallied. I would like to first report this great victory to the leader and the people of the country, Major General Zhang Xinghan of the Shenyang Garrison Brigade."

"Yes." Su Hanyun was also very excited, and she happily answered and turned around quickly to leave.
