The South-Manchuria Railway runs through the north and south of Shenyang. Therefore, when the Japanese army launched an attack on Beidaying and Shenyang City a few hours ago, the direction of the attack was to the south and north of Shenyang City.

Xinmin is in the southwest of Shenyang. If you want to evacuate Shenyang and go to Jinzhou, Xinmin must pass through. Therefore, when Rong Ziheng and his guard battalion planned to leave the city, they took the west gate.

Knowing that Ximen might be the last escape route for Shenyang's military and civilians, Zhang Xinghan ordered Second Company Commander Gao Chu to lead his officers and soldiers to Ximen quickly when he took over the command from Huang Xiansheng and took over the defense of Ximen.

Rong Ziheng wanted to lead his troops to evacuate. Without Zhang Xinghan's order, Gao Chu would not let him go. A confrontation immediately broke out between the two sides. In terms of numbers, Rong Ziheng's guard battalion suffered considerable losses in the battle to guard Fengtian, but there were still some. There are more than 500 people, and as Zhang Xueliang's trusted guards, all of them are elite men who have experienced battles for a long time. They are also very well-equipped. Some of the guards are also equipped with MP18 submachine guns.

Gaochu's second company had less than half the number of soldiers in Rong Ziheng's guard, so it was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength. However, the second company occupied the city wall and had a commanding position.

This is also the reason why Rong Ziheng did not forcefully seize the door, and the two sides continued to confront each other.

"Brother, we met by chance, and the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. Why, please make it easier?" Rong Ziheng suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile to Gao Chu on the top of the city.

"Sir Rong, I'm really sorry. I was ordered by our camp. Oh, no, he should be the commander of Fengtian City's defense now. He has taken over the defense of Fengtian West Gate under the orders of the commander. Without the commander's order, any People are not allowed to come in or out without permission, so I ask Sir Rong not to embarrass his humble position." Gao Chu politely declined.

As soon as Gao Chu mentioned Zhang Xinghan, Rong Ziheng became angry and immediately snorted with disdain: "Huh, what a bullshit garrison commander. It's just Huang Xiansheng who made the decision without authorization. When I return to Peking, I will report it to the young marshal and let them Both of them can’t eat and are walking around!”

With that said, Rong Ziheng raised his head and said to Gao Chu: "Brother, I think you can be considered a loyal person. Let me tell you the truth. The young marshal has no intention of going to war with Japan at all, and now the Japanese have already After capturing most of the towns along the South Manchuria Railway except Fengtian, it is meaningless for us to continue to hold on.

Rather than stay here and wait for death, it is better to be ordered to evacuate to Jinzhou. As long as you let me out of the city, I can take you and your brothers with me. When I get to Jinzhou, I will ask the young marshal for your credit, and my brothers will have a bright future in the future. There is no limit to it, and you can enjoy endless glory and wealth!”

"Sir Rong, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. When I was young, my parents said that if I didn't have the blessings in my life, I would have a poor life. My parents also said that as a human being, you have to have backbone and become a soldier. , we have to have more backbone and cannot insult the word soldier. Therefore, if we have to leave hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian City and escape alone, we really can't do it, because that is what a coward without eggs would do. We are capable men and would rather die than be a coward!" Gao Chu said sarcastically with a sneer.

"You!" Rong Ziheng is so smart, how could he not hear Gao Chu's sarcasm, and immediately said with a black face: "Okay, since you are shameless, don't blame me for not having bullets, brother. Come on, guys! Get out of the city!"

"Let's see who dares to take action!" At this time, a sharp shout suddenly came from the direction of the city. The hesitant officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion immediately stopped their actions and turned their heads to look behind them.

Rong Ziheng was no exception. When he looked back, he saw a large number of heavily armed Northeastern military officers and soldiers holding torches in the dark, rushing towards him with great momentum. They quickly rushed towards him, and the muzzles of black holes were blasting away.

Aimed at them.

Many officers and soldiers of the Guard Battalion subconsciously turned their guns and formed a confrontation with him.

"Surround them all, and don't let any of them go." Zhang Xinghan, riding on a military horse, waved and shouted.

"Who are you? Dare to besiege the young marshal's guard?" Rong Ziheng was not present when Huang Xiansheng summoned his men to give up power to Zhang Xinghan, because at that time, he had already established contact with his father Rong Zhen and refused to resist the young marshal.

He was aware of Zhang Xinghan's attitude and the situation in Liaoning, and was planning to evacuate Fengtian. Therefore, he did not know Zhang Xinghan.

"Commander of Fengtian City Defense Zhang Xinghan!" Zhang Xinghan replied coldly.

"Ah! Are you worthy of being the commander of Fengtian city defense? Who gave you the power? Without the official appointment of the marshal, how dare you call yourself the commander of Fengtian city defense?" Rong Ziheng cursed angrily, full of foul language.

"Rong, please keep your fucking mouth clean. How can our camp be compared to you, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Liu Guodong, the company commander, yelled angrily.

Rong Ziheng secretly calculated the comparison of the forces of the two sides while speaking before, and found that with the people Zhang Xinghan brought this time, he still had a certain advantage in terms of military strength. He couldn't help but arrogantly snorted: "Hmph! You don't think so.

What the hell

Xi? Dare to yell at me here? I am the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, and my father is the lieutenant general and chief of staff of the Northeast Frontier Defense Force. All the wise people will get out of my way and let me and my brother out of the city.

Otherwise, I will make you walk around without food."

"Rong, if you have the guts, try it?!" Gao Chu on the top of the city shouted in a deep voice with murderous intent in his eyes. Before he could finish his words, a dozen light machine guns on the top of the city opened their safety guards one after another and prepared their weapons.

Be prepared to fire at any time.

"Please be patient." Zhang Xinghan waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to be impulsive, and immediately turned his gaze to Rong Ziheng and his subordinates. After staring for a while, Zhang Xinghan said: "Captain Rong, I think you are the young marshal.

For the sake of the captain of the personal guard, I can forget about this matter today, and you can leave alone."

"What?" Rong Ziheng was startled at first, then raised his head and laughed: "What did you say? You don't hold me accountable? Why do you hold me accountable? Don't say I'm not guilty, even if I am guilty, it's not my turn.

Why do you care?"

Zhang Xinghan did not speak, but with lightning speed, he pulled out his pistol and shot Rong Ziheng in the leg with lightning speed.

"Pa!" A gunshot sounded, and Rong Ziheng suddenly howled miserably. His right leg was hit by a bullet, and he half-knelt down involuntarily.

Under the severe pain, Rong Ziheng became furious. He raised his head and his eyes almost burst out with fire, "My surname is Zhang, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you and open fire on me!"

"Rong Ziheng escaped from the battlefield, and I have ordered him to be severely punished. Anyone who dares to shoot without authorization will be treated as the same crime and will be punished on the spot!" Zhang Xinghan shouted hurriedly and sternly.

The guards officers and soldiers who were about to take action fell into hesitation when they heard this. After all, they were now surrounded by Zhang Xinghan's troops, and they didn't know whether what Zhang Xinghan said was true or false. However, they still heard that Zhang Xinghan was appointed by Huang Xiansheng to take over the city defense commander's post. Yes.

Zhang Xinghan did not go to see Rong Ziheng again, but said solemnly to the guards officers and soldiers: "Brothers, the national crisis is at hand, and I don't want to talk to you too much about it. I just want to ask you, as a general The handsome and young marshal's guards, the marshal was killed by a Japanese conspiracy, and now the Japanese want to seize our land in the three eastern provinces, can you have the heart to sit back and do nothing? The marshal's blood feud has not been avenged, and the city of Shenyang is in danger, how can you Just walk away?"

Faced with Zhang Xinghan's heart-wrenching questioning, many guards officers and soldiers lowered their heads in shame. Most of them were deeply grateful to the Zhang family and his son. Zhang Zuolin was killed in the bombing. As his personal bodyguards, they were all filled with righteous indignation. Always looking forward to revenge.

But there has always been no chance, and now the Japanese are aggressively attacking Northeast China. If they have a choice, they would rather stay in Shenyang City until they die in battle, rather than retreat in despair.

"Zhang, I will kill you!" Seeing that his subordinates did not take action, Rong Ziheng endured the severe pain, raised his gun with difficulty and roared at Zhang Xinghan.

"Pop!" There was another gunshot, and Rong Ziheng was shot again in the arm. He fell to the ground immediately, and blood surged out from the two wounds, quickly staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

"You're such a bastard. You escaped from the battlefield and tried to murder the commander of the city defense. Your crime will be aggravated." Liu Guodong put away his pistol and cursed disdainfully.

"As a captain of the guard, Rong Ziheng does not want to serve the country, let alone avenge the general, but he only wants to escape. Now I arrest him in the name of the commander of the city defense, and I will deal with him after the Japanese army is defeated. From now on, other guards officers and soldiers will return to the unified command of the city defense headquarters, and together with the entire city defenders, they will defend Fengtian to the death, and will live and die with Fengtian! No one is allowed to retreat even half a step without an order, and those who disobey orders will be severely punished!" Zhang Xinghan After saying that, with a wave of his hand, two burly soldiers came forward and arrested Rong Ziheng.

The officers and soldiers of the guard did not stop him, but lowered their heads and turned a blind eye. It was not that they were afraid of Zhang Xinghan, but that they were all passionate patriots, and they were full of passion. In terms of national justice and personal emotions, they obviously chose the former.

They would rather die on the battlefield and be shrouded in horse leather than live quietly and retreat to the pass. This was the truest thought in their hearts at this time as one of the most elite troops of the Northeast Army.
