"Order the tank division to immediately launch an all-out interception, and order another regiment. The third regiment will immediately outflank me from the west of the city to the east and move around to cooperate with the tank division!" Huang Xiansheng made a decisive deployment immediately.

"Yes!" The staff officer quickly took the order and left.

Not long after, he left and came back, saying urgently: "Come to your seat, my master's seat, there is another group of Japanese soldiers coming out from the east of the city. The remaining battalion of the third regiment is fighting fiercely with them. The situation is very critical."

"Damn it, it only takes 30,000 people to support the little devil to death, and he can turn the world upside down." Huang Xiansheng became furious and said to Jiang Baili: "Take a seat, you stay and take command, I will bring the guard battalion up to support."

"Okay, be careful." Jiang Baili nodded.

Huang Xiansheng grinned: "Don't worry." Yan Wei walked out of the headquarters and shouted loudly: "The guard camp is coming with me!"

……………………

In the south of Yingkou City, thousands of Japanese troops had already rushed out of the city at night. The vanguard of the Northeast New Army Tank Division and dozens of tanks arrived in time.

While conducting a fire blockade against the Japanese army, the 1st Division, 1st Regiment and 3rd Regiment also surrounded them from two directions, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Fierce fire exchanges occurred, and soldiers from both sides were shot and fell from time to time. Of course, the majority of the Japanese were without tank cover.

At this moment, a large group of Japanese troops suddenly came out from the west of the city and swarmed like a tide near the mouth of the Daliao River.

Here, hundreds of Japanese ships have been waiting for a long time.

Okamura Neji, Kurotsuchi Kentaro, Nakashimamura and more than 2,000 Japanese troops were the first to board the ship and leave.

Immediately after the two large landing ships docked, in less than half an hour, more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers climbed onto the ship, and the number of Japanese soldiers boarding was still increasing.

The deck and cabin were almost crowded with Japanese troops.

When the first batch of Japs such as Okamura Neiji arrived at the fleet group and boarded the large transport ship waiting there.

The second group of Japanese soldiers also quickly boarded the ship.

In less than an hour, the Japanese from Yingkou withdrew seven or eight thousand people.

The three main regiments of the First Division and the tank troops were all attracted by the Japanese army in three directions: southeast, north and south. The Japanese rear troops received a death order and the attack was particularly fierce, so they could not escape at all.

At this critical moment, Zhang Xinghan arrived with two infantry regiments of more than 4,000 people.

Due to the geographical environment, the route Zhang Xinghan and others took happened to be west of Yingkou City.

Immediately, I discovered that I had encountered a large number of Japanese troops stranded on the shore at the estuary.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered his troops to attack.

The Japanese security force also discovered them, and a fierce battle soon broke out between the two sides.

Without the support and cover of the tank troops, the offensive of the Northeastern New Army, which did not have superior strength, was very difficult.

In order to escape, the Japanese all fought desperately. Therefore, although the weapons and equipment of the Northeastern New Army were superior to the Japanese army, they were unable to defeat the Japanese army.

The two sides fell into a fierce and fierce battle.

Seeing groups of Japanese troops boarding ships and escaping, Zhang Xinghan, who personally directed the troops to attack, paced back and forth anxiously.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said to Guo Zhong: "Zhongzi, send a message to the chief of staff immediately. Order the howitzer regiment directly under the 1st Division to immediately turn the muzzle, aim at a radius of two kilometers around the mouth of the Daliao River, and bomb him hard."

Son of a bitch.”

"Yes!" Guo Zhong responded loudly and hurriedly followed the order.

After about a few minutes, the 36 105mm howitzers of the artillery regiment directly under the First Division roared one after another.

The shells fell one after another and exploded one after another, and balls of fire rose into the sky from the shore of the estuary.

The dense crowd of Japanese soldiers was immediately bombed and suffered heavy casualties. Some shells even fell into the water, blowing some Japanese rubber boats and landing craft into pieces.

It caused considerable damage to the Japanese.

On the Japanese fleet, a Japanese staff officer quickly reported the situation to Neji Okamura.

Okamura Neiji raised his brows and said with a ferocious face: "Request the fleet's artillery group to immediately adjust its shooting at the various elements to suppress the Chinese artillery fire."

"Hai." The Japanese staff officer quickly lowered his head and responded.

In order to ensure that most of the troops could evacuate safely, Okamura Neji, Kurotsuchi Kentaro and others could be said to have spent a lot of money this time.

Two reinforced regiments were left behind, with a total number of more than 7,000 troops.

And a battle plan was formulated before the breakout. The rear troops' attacks from the east of the city, north of the city, and south of the city were all arranged by Okamura Neiji in advance.

The cunning Okamura Neiji knew that the south of the city was closest to the coast. After the naval cannons opened fire, the commander of the Northeastern New Army would definitely think that the Japanese army would break through from the south of the city and board the ship.

So he chose the real breakout direction to the west of the city, but he didn't expect Zhang Xinghan's reinforcements to come so quickly.

However, the next performance of the naval gun group disappointed Okamura Neji. Since it was night, and the land was in a mess, there were explosions everywhere.

Therefore, the artillery observers of the Japanese Navy were unable to obtain accurate positions, and several rounds of shelling failed to destroy the howitzer positions of the Northeastern New Army.

Okamura Neiji was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth, constantly cursing the navy for its incompetence.

At this time, the fighting in the west of the city had reached an extremely fierce level, in order to prevent the Japanese troops from boarding the ships and evacuating.

Zhang Xinghan also threw the guard battalion into the battle, and the two sides launched an extremely fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Guard battalion commander Guo Zhong also went into battle personally carrying an MP18 submachine gun.

"Da da da..." After a round of shooting, Guo Zhong raised his arms and shouted: "You bastards, come to me, you must not let the little devils escape, kill them!"

The officers and soldiers of the guard battalion were full of firepower. Encouraged by Guo Zhong, they fought bravely to take the lead and launched one charge after another against the Japanese army.

From time to time, someone fell down on the path of the charge, but soon new soldiers jumped over the corpses of their comrades and continued to charge without fear of death.

Under the fierce and fearless attack of the Northeastern New Army, the Japanese blocking troops suffered heavy casualties.

Next to the river bank is a large number of buffer plains, a flat, unblocked river.

The Japanese did not have any decent defenses, and both sides were almost always filling them with human lives.

Some Japanese soldiers even used the bodies of their fallen comrades as cover to shoot tenaciously.

When the war situation is fierce.

Another half hour of fierce fighting passed. After another group of Japanese troops braved the artillery fire of the New Northeast Army and boarded the ship, there were only four to five thousand Japanese soldiers left on the shore.

At this moment, Liu Jianguo arrived with the main force of two divisions.

Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered all his troops to attack, and the four to five thousand Japanese were immediately trapped in despair.

As the fighter planes disappeared, Okamura Neiji had no choice but to reluctantly abandon nearly 5,000 blocking troops. The naval fleet began to return.

Trapped in a desperate situation, more than 4,000 Japanese soldiers fought to the death, erupting with considerable combat effectiveness.

Nearly 20,000 Northeastern New Army troops attacked continuously for more than two hours, but failed to annihilate them all, and suffered heavy casualties.

"Commander, the Japanese fleet has left. These Japanese and the Japanese in the city are already turtles in the jar.

In my opinion, let's temporarily stop the attack and wait until daybreak to use our air force and artillery to destroy them.

If we attack forcefully, the casualties of the troops will be too great." Liu Jianguo carefully suggested to Zhang Xinghan, who was almost red-eyed.

The Japanese army withdrew nearly two-thirds of its troops. Zhang Xinghan was very annoyed, so he ordered his troops to attack continuously for more than two hours.

However, the tenacity of this group of Japanese soldiers exceeded Zhang Xinghan's expectations. After two hours of fierce attack, they were unable to annihilate them all.

Zhang Xinghan thought for a while and said: "No, call me a tank regiment immediately. With the tank troops as the vanguard, we will attack the Japs. We must eat these thousands of little Japs tonight."

"Yes!" When Liu Jianguo saw that Zhang Xinghan was really angry, he immediately took the order and left without any hesitation.

At this time, the Japanese who stayed behind in Yingkou City had been beaten back one after another, and they were relying on the city defense to prepare for the final defense.

Soon, dozens of Panzer IV tanks were transferred over.

With the addition of tanks, the battle becomes much smoother.

Under the cover of tanks, a large number of infantry advanced extremely quickly. Almost all the temporary fortifications dug by the Japanese were turned into ruins under the bombardment of tank guns.

The Japanese soldiers were so suppressed that they could not raise their heads. They barely opened fire, but the bullets could not penetrate the thick armor of the No. 4 tank group.

As the distance got closer, the grenadiers and rocket soldiers of the Northeastern New Army opened fire one after another.

Finally, under the cover of a group of tanks and chariots, the Northeastern New Army poured into the Japanese positions like a tide.

In close combat, the Northeast New Army's rapid fire advantages such as submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles began to gradually come into play.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, all those on the shore were finally wiped out.

After handing the troops to Liu Jianguo to command the siege, Zhang Xinghan, accompanied by Guo Zhong, took a jeep to the 1st Division headquarters.

"Chief of Staff, alarm bell!" Zhang Xinghan saw Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng as soon as he got off the car.

"Commander, you are finally back." The two men stood up and saluted.

"Haha, I'm back." Zhang Xinghan smiled happily.

"Let's go in and talk first."

The four people walked into the headquarters one after another. Zhang Xinghan asked: "How is it? Are there many casualties in the troops?"

"Each regiment has suffered casualties, but they are not too serious." Huang Xian said loudly.

"Haha, that's good." Zhang Xinghan smiled and suddenly said seriously: "Now all the Japs outside the city have been wiped out by our army, and only a few Japs in the city are still fighting against the trapped beasts.

I decided to rest the troops temporarily and launch a general attack on Yingkou City early tomorrow morning. The battle must be concluded before dark.

Tell the commanders of each infantry regiment that in this battle, don't make any small calculations for me. I will shoot anyone who dares to attack without risking his life.

As for the battle losses, I will replenish them as much as they are after the battle is over, and they are all veterans with combat experience!"

"Yes!" Jiang Baili and Huang Xiansheng stood up at the same time and said solemnly.

"Commander, how many prisoners did you capture during this westward march?" Huang Xiansheng asked curiously.

"It's not too many, more than 30,000 people," Zhang Xing said in astonishing Chinese.

"What? More than 30,000 people?" Huang Xiansheng was shocked, and immediately overjoyed, he patted his chest and promised: "Commander, please rest assured, our First Division will go all out tomorrow to be the first to attack Yingkou City."
