"Seat in the hotel!" Zhang Xinghan first saluted Wang Yizhe, and then knelt down to the two elders beside him: "Parents, my unfilial son is lucky to have survived, but due to busy military affairs, he failed to report in time, which worried the two elders. I hope you will forgive me.

crime!"

"Get up quickly." Zhang Yuxi and his wife looked at their son whom they had not seen for many days with surprise. They didn't know what to say. His son had always been well-behaved and had no extraordinary performance. He was considered a good person.

Qualified ordinary military personnel.

But they never imagined that he, who was usually taciturn, could play such a huge role in the face of a national crisis, turn the tide from falling, help the building from falling, and make the first contribution to the defense of the country.

After helping Zhang Xinghan up, Zhang Yuxi glanced at Zhang Xinghan and said, "Ruoying has been worried about you all night, and she hasn't rested yet."

Zhang Xinghan nodded understandingly and walked towards Wang Ruoying.

"You're stupid." Zhang Xinghan said with a hint of blame and pity in his serious eyes.

"I do." Wang Ruoying held back tears and pretended to be stubborn.

"You have to retreat with the brigade later, so that I won't worry and can direct the battle with all my strength." Zhang Xinghan said cruelly.

"I don't!" Wang Ruoying refused directly, and then looked at Zhang Xinghan with tearful eyes and said word by word: "If you die for the country, I will accompany you. I don't want to live together, but I want to die together."

Looking at this deeply infatuated woman in front of him, Zhang Xinghan, who has been living in the money society of later generations, was filled with infinite emotion.

In this era, as a soldier whose life is unpredictable, what more could he ask for when he can find such a beautiful confidante?

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xinghan hugged Wang Ruoying into his arms and repeated firmly with tears in his eyes: "We don't want to live together, but we want to die together!"

…………………………………………

Knowing that he still had a lot to do next, Zhang Xinghan sent his parents and Wang Ruoying home to wait for him, while he walked into the headquarters with Wang Yizhe, who had something to say.

As soon as he entered the headquarters, Wang Yizhe said to Zhang Xinghan earnestly: "Xinghan, I think you should be aware of the current situation, right? Tieling, Yingkou, Siping and other important towns along the South Manchuria Railway have fallen to the Japanese.

Hands, Changchun is also in danger, and Shenyang is now an isolated city. I have contacted the young marshal. The young marshal means to abandon Shenyang immediately and withdraw the entire army to Jinzhou to stand by.

So, don’t insist anymore. Don’t be the city defense commander of Shenyang City. This is simply a thankless position. If Shenyang is lost, then you will be a national sinner. In order to deal with public opinion and give the people a

If you explain, you will definitely be treated as a scapegoat, and I won’t be able to protect you then."

Zhang Xinghan naturally understood Wang Yizhe's good intentions, and immediately said: "But, sir, I just killed Rong Ziheng, so even if I am ordered to evacuate, the Marshal and Chief of Staff Rong will not let me go."

"What? Did you kill Rong Ziheng?" Wang Yizhe's face changed dramatically in shock.

"Yeah." Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously.

"Oh!" Wang Yizhe suddenly became very angry and paused: "Why are you so confused? Why did you want to kill Rong Ziheng? Don't you know that his father is Rong Zhen, the chief of staff of the Northeast Army? Besides,

He is still the captain of the young marshal's personal guard. Think about it, if he can become the captain of the young marshal's personal guard, can his relationship with the young marshal be any worse?"

You are causing trouble. You should never kill Rong Ziheng! He is still the only child of the Rong family, and Chief of Staff Rong will definitely not let it go."

"He disobeyed military orders and escaped without authorization. I dealt with him according to military law." Zhang Xinghan said disapprovingly.

"Military law? Military law punishes ordinary officers and soldiers who have no backing. Rong Ziheng is obviously not among them, and the retreat is the young marshal's intention. As the young marshal's personal guard captain, he, Rong Ziheng, commands the guard battalion. Should he be ordered to do so by the young marshal? It is still unknown whether the commander ordered him to retreat, so how could you kill him so hastily?" Wang Yizhe asked anxiously with sweat on his face.

"Just a coward, kill him if you want. Every one of the young marshal's guard battalions are elite, loyal and brave men. To give them command to such a person is because the young marshal doesn't know how to judge people. Besides, I think such elite soldiers are strong." It is such a pity that the general did not stay in Shenyang and fight the Japanese army to the death, but retreated to Jinzhou in embarrassment." Zhang Xinghan said this, paused and said to Wang Yizhe with determination: "

Brigade, our ** Seventh Brigade still has tens of thousands of elites, plus the thousands of military policemen left by Director Huang in the city, the strength is nearly 20,000. In addition, there are a large number of retired soldiers and young adults in Shenyang City. , as long as we open the warehouse of the Shenyang Arsenal, these people can be quickly expanded into an army. As for the officers, there are more than 2,000 students who have not graduated from the Northeast Lecture Hall in Dongdaying this term. They can be used as the backbone to make the newly formed army. The troops quickly formed combat effectiveness.

Most importantly, we have an air force.

The total strength of the Japanese Kwantung Army, including their newly formed retired soldiers in the countryside, is only about 20,000. They attack in all directions, and their strength is extremely scattered. The maximum number of troops that can be used to attack Shenyang is 10,000.

As long as we work together to fight to the death, the outcome of the Battle of Shenyang is yet to be determined. And once we hold Shenyang, if the Marshal can mobilize the main force of our Northeastern Army in the Pass to leave the Pass and go north, and also deploy the cavalry from the Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province to move south quickly, both sides will A pincer attack will surely annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, regain lost ground, and win in one battle.

Once Japan's Kwantung Army suffers a heavy defeat, the anti-war faction in Japan will immediately take advantage, and the war will probably not break out. This is the way to end the war with war.

On the contrary, if we are cowardly and fearful of war, the Japanese will definitely push their ambitions further, and in the end we will no longer have foreign lands!"

Zhang Xinghan's words caused Wang Yizhe to fall into silence. For a moment, the blood in his body showed signs of boiling. He wanted to do what Zhang Xinghan said and command his men to fight the Japanese army in Shenyang City.

But this thought only flashed by, and was quickly overwhelmed by reason. After all, he was not a time traveler, he could not predict history, and he lacked sufficient anticipation of the development of events.

And he doesn't have Zhang Xinghan's unlimited ammunition supply as a strong backing.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yizhe was forced to shake his head and said: "Xinghan, I admit that what you said is not unreasonable, but the young commander has been kind to me, and I have to carry out his orders, so Fengtian City cannot be defended. .

Therefore, you must retreat with me, and for the sake of Ruoying's lifelong happiness, I beg you."

"Master, have you ever thought about it. If the city of Shenyang is destroyed, how many compatriots will live in dire straits from here. If we abandon the defense of the northeast, then the white mountains and black waters will be devastated, and the fields will be starved to death. Thirty million compatriots will live in dire straits from now on. They were trampled under the iron hooves of the Japanese army and became slaves of subjugation without dignity."

"As a soldier, how can Xinghan abandon thirty million compatriots just because of my own happiness?" Zhang Xinghan changed his title to Wang Yizhe in desperation: "Uncle Wang, I know you are a person who values ​​friendship, sir. Shuai has been kind to you, and you don’t want to disobey his orders, but Uncle Wang, you should understand what is more important than personal feelings and the country?!"

"Stop talking, Wang Yizhe would rather die than betray the young commander, and would never be an unfaithful and unfilial person." Wang Yizhe knew that what Zhang Xinghan said was reasonable, but he still raised his hand stubbornly.

Zhang Xinghan looked a little sad. He still failed to persuade Wang Yizhe. Otherwise, with the combat power of the 7th Brigade, he would definitely be able to easily hold Shenyang and cause a devastating blow to the Japanese Kwantung Army. Zhang Xinghan had this confidence.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xinghan continued: "In this case, Xinghan will not force anyone to do anything. Before you evacuate, Uncle Wang, please agree to Xinghan's request."

"What's the request?" Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Xinghan with some confusion.

"Please Uncle Wang, please leave me all the tanks and armored troops of the 7th Brigade of the Communist Party of China. They are the invincible armored troops of the Northeast Army. They are facing a national crisis. They should stay and coexist with Shenyang City and the hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens in the city." Zhang Xinghan got straight to the point.

"What?" Wang Yizhe was obviously taken aback. Zhang Xinghan's request was beyond his expectation. As the top ace of the Northeast Army, the **7th Brigade is equipped with a company-level tank unit, with a total of 12 Renault FT17 tanks and armored vehicles. There are four troop carriers, among which the Renault tanks were newly imported and purchased through special channels after Zhang Xueliang came to power. They are equipped with a 37mm artillery gun and a Czech light machine gun.

It is slightly more advanced than the Renault equipped only with machine guns that Zhang Zuolin purchased when he came to power.

When the Japanese army attacked Beida Camp, the 3rd Battalion led by Zhang Xinghan blocked the Japanese attack, giving each unit ample time to retreat. Therefore, all the tank troops of the 7th Brigade were able to withdraw and are now parked at Dongshan Zuizi. Temporary residence.

As we all know, at this time, the Northeast Army's tank unit can be said to be the only and most powerful in all of China. It is an extremely rare treasure troop.

Zhang Xinghan asked himself if he wanted to leave it as soon as he opened his mouth. Wang Yizhe was really reluctant to leave it.

However, when he saw the expectation on Zhang Xinghan's face and thought that he was about to lead a small number of troops to fight in Shenyang City alone, Wang Yizhe reluctantly nodded his head: "Okay, I promise you, I will order them to enter Shenyang at full speed later and give you full command. "

"Thank you very much, sir. Xinghan thanks you on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of elders in the city!" Zhang Xinghan, ecstatic, saluted King Yizhe and said excitedly.

After officially taking over the defense of Shenyang, Zhang Xinghan learned through Wang Yicai's report that there were still a number of Renault tanks stranded in Shenyang City at this time, and there were also a large number of cars and self-assembled armored vehicles in the warehouse of Shenyang Arsenal. In addition, the 7th Brigade's An armored company.

He already has an armored force that far exceeds that of the Japanese army. He can give the Japanese army a fatal blow at a critical moment. As for talents? Among the current students of the Northeast Lecture Hall, there are many people who can drive armored vehicles and tanks.

With all this, can Zhang Xinghan not be excited?

"But I have one thing you must promise me." Wang Yizhe suddenly said.

"What?" Zhang Xinghan asked doubtfully.

"If the defense of the city fails, you must live for me. If Ruoying refuses to follow me, you all must live and return to Jinzhou alive. I will wait for you there." Wang Yizhe said firmly.

Zhang Xinghan immediately nodded solemnly: "Uncle Wang, please rest assured that I will definitely protect Ruoying and never let her be harmed in the slightest."

Wang Yizhe patted him on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "If the war doesn't go well, you can lead the armored company to break out of the encirclement. If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. Zhang Xinghan looked back and saw Xiao Lizi, a communications soldier, running in with a panicked look. Wang Yizhe had just arrived at the headquarters, and Xiao Lizi had returned to his post.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xinghan asked with a bad premonition in his heart.

"Brigade, we just received news that a Japanese cavalry unit suddenly rushed to the foot of Xinmin City half an hour ago. The defenders were caught off guard, and the young marshal ordered not to resist. Xinmin has now been captured by the Japanese army."
