While the Japanese troops in Xinmin City sent aid at all costs, a large number of Japanese troops from the direction of Shenyang once again began to approach the east bank of the Liao River, trying to cross the river again.

Ge Quanwu Regiment immediately prepared for battle and quickly informed Li Zhenyuan, asking him to mobilize more than a hundred tanks and armored vehicles to strengthen patrols and security forces along the river.

However, the Japanese on the east bank were not in a hurry to cross the river.

More than half an hour later, a deafening roar of an engine suddenly came from the distant sky in the southeast.

Ge Quanwu immediately raised the telescope, adjusted the focus, and looked into the sky. Soon, the target in the telescope quickly became larger, and Ge Quanwu's pupils dilated.

He put down his telescope, turned his head and shouted loudly: "Enemy plane, enemy plane is attacking, get down quickly and prepare for air defense!"

As soon as Ge Quanwu's order was conveyed, dozens of Japanese planes roared and swooped in from high altitude.

The first dozen or so Japanese fighter jets emitted scorching and dazzling tongues of flame, and dense bullets poured like raindrops onto the Ge Quan Martial Regiment's position.

Suddenly there were snowflakes flying and mud splashing everywhere.

Japanese fighter jets swooped and strafed past, followed closely by more than twenty land-based and sea-based aviation bombers.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Violent explosions occurred wherever the bomber passed, and huge fireballs rose to the ground accompanied by billowing thick smoke.

As our own air force arrived, the Japanese army immediately divided into groups and began a large-scale river crossing operation.

A tank regiment sent by Li Zhenyuan was harassed by Japanese air raids and bombings, and had no time to take care of the Japanese crossing the river.

Soon, a large number of Japanese soldiers crossed the Liaohe River, which was only a hundred meters wide, from several locations.

With the wave of the command sword of each Japanese commander, thousands of Japanese began to attack Ge Quanwu regiment from the north and south directions of the west bank.

The purpose of the Japanese was very clear. They were to first defeat the Ge Quanwu Regiment, seize their field fortifications, and then repel the armored units of the New Northeast Army under the cover of the air force.

This opened up the connection between Shenyang and Xinmin, and quickly repaired the Liaohe River Bridge and built a pontoon bridge.

Ge Quanwu shook his head to shake off the dirt on his head and back. He raised his head and looked outside the position in the north and south directions.

All they saw was a dense mass of Japanese soldiers everywhere, rushing towards them with 38 rifles with bayonets attached.

Ge Quanwu's eyes tightened, and he shouted in a stern voice: "The little devil is coming up, prepare to meet the enemy!"

The officers and soldiers of the Gequanwu Regiment who had originally hid in the trench fortifications got up from the trenches after hearing this, and set up various rifles, submachine guns and machine guns again.

When the officers and soldiers of the Gequan Military Regiment were ready, the Japanese army had already entered the firing range, and their light and heavy machine guns and small-caliber mortars had opened fire one after another.

"Brothers, beat me hard. If Guanjiapu is lost, the whole regiment will be below me. No one in the group will have the fucking shame to go back to see the commander. In one word, fight to the end!" Ge Quanwu personally wielded an mg34 general-purpose machine gun and shouted sternly. roar.

"Da da da..." The general machine gun roared suddenly, and the hot bullets poured out in a fan shape like splashing water.

Other officers and soldiers also opened fire one after another, and the dense bullets immediately knocked down the Japanese soldiers who were charging in groups to the ground in pieces.

……………………

Tieling City, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeastern New Army.

"Commander, it's not good. Guanjiabao is in emergency. The Japanese dispatched a large number of aircraft. Not only did they air attack the Ge Quanwu Regiment position where I was stationed in Guanjiabao, but they also caused great trouble to our two tank divisions.

At the same time, Xinmin and the Japanese troops in front of Shenyang also strengthened their forces and launched several counterattacks against our frontal attacking troops." Li Guocai walked quickly to Zhang Xinghan with a message in his hand and reported loudly.

Zhang Xinghan looked stern when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Order the pilots to attack immediately, and be sure to shoot down all the Japanese planes attacking Guanjiabao." He telegraphed Ge Quanwu and Li Zhenyuan to defend Guanjiabao at all costs. If Guanjiabao is If they are lost at this juncture, I will shoot them."

"Yes!" Li Guocai had never seen Zhang Xinghan speak in such a stern tone, so he immediately stood up, saluted, and left in response.

"Wait a minute."

"Commander, do you have any other instructions?"

"Send power to Wang Yizhe again. The West Route Army must seize all the outer positions of Xinmin City before dark today, meet up with Ge Quan's military regiment in Guanjiapu, and completely encircle Xinmin City. Tell Commander Wang that this battle is an important turning point in the Shenyang Campaign. The officers and men of the army should strive to move forward bravely. Anyone who retreats without orders, regardless of military rank or position, can be executed on the spot!" Zhang Xinghan's cold tone made Li Guocai shudder.

"Yes!" Li Guocai stood up and saluted again, then took the order and left.

……………………

In Zhangwu County, Wang Yizhe stood up immediately after hearing the report from the communications troops and said: "Guard camp, gather immediately and follow me to the front line."

"Master, are you going to the front line?" the communications soldier asked with concern.

"The commander's order has been issued. As the commander of the first division, I should rush to the front line and fight side by side with the entire division!" Wang Yizhe said righteously.

"However, Commander Gao has personally led the team to participate in the attack. You are the commander-in-chief of our West Route Army." The communications soldier looked embarrassed.

"What happened to the Commander-in-Chief? The Commander said that this battle cannot be won. No one can take a fucking step back. Anyone who disobeys the order will be severely punished. Please convey this order to all regiments immediately and turn on the power to all regiments." Division, if any one of the regiments dares to retreat without authorization, the first person to ask the regiment commander for questioning." Wang Yizhe said.

"Yes!" The communications soldier quickly saluted, turned and left.

Wang Yizhe and his guard battalion immediately left Zhangwu and rushed to the Xinmin front line, which was under heavy artillery fire.

After a while, Wang Yizhe led the guard battalion to the former enemy headquarters and met with Gao Chu, commander of the 9th Independent Division.

"Mr. Gao, how is the situation?" Wang Yizhe asked after saluting.

"Damn it, don't mention it. The little Japs are like crazy. They are completely desperate. Our division's several attacks were about to succeed, but they were defeated by the Japs with a large number of troops." Gao Chu said a little depressed.

"Have you received the strict orders issued by the commander to each division? There are many words in Baixiaosheng.com," Wang Yizhe asked again.

"Yes, I got it." Gao Chu nodded.

"How is it going? What do you think?" Wang Yizhe raised his telescope and asked.

"Looking at the overall situation of the Shenyang Battle, Xinmin City is extremely important to both the Japanese and us. Considering the overall situation, it is reasonable for the commander to have such a strict order." Gao Chu said.

"I know this. What I mean is, do you have any good ideas?" Wang Yizhe said.

"The total strength of the Japs in Xinmin City is at least 50,000. After the losses in these battles, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 left. If we fight hard, even if we can win, we will have to pay an unimaginable price of casualties.

Once we suffer too many casualties, Xinmin City may be lost again.

Therefore, I suggest that Li Zhenyuan immediately lead a tank division to circle back from the north of the city and assist our tank regiments to form a powerful assault group to break through the Japanese army from the front and surround Xinmin City.

The tank division has hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, and with their participation, no matter how desperate the little devil is, his flesh and blood body will not be able to stop our steel torrent's attack," Gao Chu said.

"Deploy Li Zhenyuan's tank division?" Wang Yizhe said worriedly: "Li Zhenyuan's department was embarrassed by the Japanese air raid. Now the Japanese have concentrated a large number of troops to storm Guanjiabao. He and Ge Quanwu have too much to take care of themselves now, right?

Xiaosheng.com has so many words that it can mobilize troops to assist us?"

"State the pros and cons to Li Zhenyuan, and I think he will definitely agree to reinforce us." Gao Chu said, "It's just that the Guanjiabao position is much more dangerous."

"No matter what, let's give it a try." Wang Yizhe said after thinking about it for a while.

………………

In Guanjiabao, a fierce battle is going on.

On the one hand, Li Zhenyuan's two tank divisions had to guard against the Japanese troops in Xinmin City. On the other hand, they also had to deal with the Japanese aerial attacks.

Fortunately, the fighter groups of our two flight regiments arrived in time, and they were assisting the air force in attacking the Japanese air force with two armored anti-aircraft regiments.

Two tank regiments guarded Xinmin City, and the other two tank regiments drove to the position of the Gequanwu Regiment to assist the infantry in resisting the Japanese attack.

The officers and soldiers of Ge Quanwu Regiment used 200 tanks and vehicles as strong bunkers. With the cooperation of 400 vehicle-mounted general-purpose machine guns, they formed a dense and powerful cross-fire network.

The Japanese soldiers charging in groups from the north and the south fell in pieces under the powerful firepower.

Since the Japanese army had landed on a large scale, the number of troops was estimated to be tens of thousands, and there was air force cover in the air.

Therefore, it is no longer realistic to push the Japanese into the river. Although the tank regiment can maneuver to wipe out the enemy, but after the Japanese landed on such a large scale and approached, the opportunity for mobile assault has been lost.

After all, two hundred tanks are still very small among tens of thousands of Japs. Once trapped by the Japanese army, the consequences will be disastrous. Molotov cocktails and cluster grenades may cause the tanks to break down on the spot.

Therefore, Li Zhenyuan made decisive arrangements to surround Ge Quanwu's defensive position with tanks and build a steel line of defense to assist Ge Quanwu in blocking the Japanese army.

In the intense firefight, some of the machine gunners on the tanks were shot and killed from time to time, or were hit by Japanese grenade fragments.

Every time someone died, the infantrymen in the trenches would bravely climb onto the tanks, push away the bodies of their comrades, and continue to fire with their parallel machine guns.

In the trench, an armored communications soldier hunched over and quickly came to Li Zhenyuan's side along the trench.

He knelt down and reported: "Commander, General Wang Yizhe is calling."

Li Zhenyuan was originally the commander of the armored company directly under the headquarters of the 7th Independent Brigade, and he was also regarded as Wang Yizhe's old subordinate.

"What are your instructions, old sir?" Li Zhenyuan turned around and asked.

"General Wang requested that you, Commander, bring a tank division over, and cooperate with them to break through the Japanese frontal defense line first, then complete the encirclement of Xinmin City and open up communication with Guanjiabao." The correspondent lowered his head and replied.

ps: I came back at around 4pm, and the network was still not working. Someone from the telecommunications office also came and said that my cat might have been damaged by lightning. Fortunately, I have a wireless network card.

However, there was a leak in the house and it rained all night. After using it for just two hours, it got a message that the balance was insufficient. I went crazy and asked friends to help me recharge (online banking was very difficult and I had no money).

I just finished it. I would like to thank my good brother Shuangfei very much. I will thank you very much after I finish my busy work these days!

Finally, let’s talk about updates and monthly passes. Currently, I owe you all the updates, plus the ten updates yesterday, today and the day before yesterday that were not completed.

Nowadays, I am chasing the seventh place in the monthly new book list. The Anti-Japanese War is at stake, even more dangerous than Guanjiapu. I don’t have an air force, so what I rely on are 11,000 book friends.

Please support me with all your strength for the last thirty or so hours. I will do my best to write the most updates to repay you for your love.

Three thousand yuan is really important to me. It's the end of the month. If you have votes, please vote as soon as possible. I won't disappoint you. As long as the power supply bureau doesn't have a power outage like this, I will write about what I can bear.
