~Date: ~October 21~

(While the night of literature, stray bullets and fierce artillery fire flashed alternately with fire. The Japanese defensive positions, which were intertwined, were still fighting tenaciously under the impact of our army. After three days of hard fighting, our assault troops struggled to break through the outer fortifications of Xinyizhou, and the attacking troops entered the city. The cruel street battle began. The Japanese army worked hard in Xinyizhou, with open fortresses, traffic trenches, and underground secret passages crisscrossing.

The Japanese army turned almost every house in Shinyizhou into fortifications, but the Japanese army summed up the experience of every battle and built Shinyizhou into a solid and fully functional defensive fortress. Given the difficulties of street fighting, the Japanese army, as the weak side, must use urban street fighting to resist tenaciously.

As soon as our attacking troops entered the city, they progressed slowly. The Japanese army used underground secret passages in Shinyizhou and had close contact. In particular, the Japanese army buried landmines on all streets in the city. The Japanese army was underground, and our army was on the ground. When attacking, we must not only prevent the attack from the Japanese secret fire point, but also be careful to step on landmines.

The assault troops attacked the city in the northwest of Shinyizhou. Due to the fatal threat of Japanese landmines, our army was unable to spread to the two wings. It can be said that every meter advances, there is a price to pay. During the day, one regiment was crippled. Another regiment was put into the night. The soldiers learned from the daytime experience and became cautious in the attack.

In the Corps Command, Chief of Staff Xie Fang held the phone in his hand and shouted loudly: "The Japanese army's defense in the city is far beyond our imagination. In the face of new situations, we must also change and pass it off. Don't be impatient, don't lose unnecessary casualties, be patient, and have the spirit of ants gnawing bones. We need to compete with the Japanese army for one bunker and another. Now we must compare patience with the Japanese army and fight spirit. Do you understand?"

Jie Fang put down the phone and said, "It's like playing the piano randomly. The commander of the 1st Division asked to organize a suicide squad and launch a decisive attack!" Lu Erhu said, "Their mood is understandable. They ordered the 1st Division to withdraw. They have been attacking continuously for 8 days. With such high-intensity combat, the officers and soldiers may have been crazy. Let them retreat and rest, and calm their minds."

The Jiefang issued an order, ordering the First Division to withdraw the Third Division to launch an attack. At present, the Third Division is in Zhongjiang, and the Second Army has broken through the Yalu River defense line in Chushan. However, facing the steep mountains and ridges and the continuous undulating Japanese defense line, their attacks are almost like snails crawling. The difficulty of entering North Korea is fully reflected.

The captain of the suicide squad, Han Songlin, lay under a low wall, and the fire exploded in front of him appeared and disappeared from time to time on his face. The helmet on the 3rd Division was pressed down very low, and he could not see the expression clearly. The 3rd Division pulled up and saw that the attack of the 1st Division was unfavorable, the division headquarters ordered the formation of an suicide squad and launched an attack on the Japanese position. The commander of the squad was unauthorized. Han Songlin volunteered to join the suicide squad and served as the captain of the suicide squad.

The battalion commander issued an order, his mission was to take down a building about 100 meters ahead. At dusk, he exchanged defense with the Unique Division. Seeing the heavy casualties of the brothers, Han Songlin knew in his heart what the next battle would be like. A fierce battle was inevitable. It was a suicide squad to launch an attack on the Japanese army. The division headquarters asked to register voluntarily. Han Songlin heard that he had atonement for the suicide squad and took the initiative to sign up for the suicide squad.

Han Songlin is Han Xue's brother. Since joining the Manchu team, he has cut off contact with his family. The reason is that his parents and relatives criticized him, so he did not have the courage to face his family. He went home the year of his parents' death and never contacted his relatives again. After our army left the Northeast, when he attacked Siping, he led a company to surrender. In view of his performance, he was trained in the War Zone Preparatory Corps for three months.

When the Lu Erhu** Corps was expanded, he became the 1st Army and a company commander of the 3rd Division. When he entered the Lu Erhu Corps, he accidentally learned that the director of the General Hospital of the Corps was actually his sister who had no news. He knew that his sister had participated in the Anti-Japanese United Army and thought that her sister had long been no longer alive. He knew his sister's whereabouts, but he did not have the courage to recognize her. The reason why he did not dare to recognize her was that her brother-in-law was the commander of the corps.

Lu Erhu's name can be said to be well-known in the Northeast. Therefore, Han Songlin did not have the courage to face his sister and brother-in-law. Before the war in Korea began, he made up his mind to make contributions, wash away the shame of the past, and meet his sister upright. On several occasions, he secretly peeked at his sister in front of the general hospital, saw his sister's sunny face, and his heroic figure, which prompted him to perform well.

At this moment, Han Songlin prayed silently in his heart. If he died, he would have an explanation for the past. At present, his wife and children are in Fengtian City. That night, he wrote a letter to his wife and informed his sister in detail. In fact, this letter is a farewell book, and he has to spread his passion to wash away the stains of the past.

The artillery fire extended, Han Songlin glanced at his watch and shouted in a low voice: "There are ten minutes left, brothers are ready to attack!" The soldiers around him opened the shooting insurance one after another, waiting for the order to attack. "Company Commander, Company Commander! Battalion Commander's phone number!" The orderly soldier shouted loudly. After receiving the phone, Han Songlin returned and said: "Give orders to stop attacking and standby! I'll go to the battalion headquarters!"

Han Songlin walked into the command post of the battalion headquarters and saw other suicide squadrons waiting in the battalion headquarters. The battalion commander said when he saw people coming, "The division headquarters ordered the cancellation of suicide squads and the combat plan changed." Han Songlin and several suicide squadrons asked why the offensive plan was cancelled! The battalion commander said: "The headquarters considers that there are new situations in the defense of the Japanese army in Shinyizhou. In order to avoid major casualties, we are required to adopt flexible tactics."

Han Songlin asked: "Flexible tactics!" The battalion commander said: "Yes! Flexible tactics! The Japanese army in front of us hid in the dark, with hidden firepower points. The key is that the Japanese army buried a large number of anti-infantry mines on the streets. For this situation, the headquarters requires us not to be impatient, and to be patient with the Japanese army, take out the spirit of chewing bones, and move forward steadily."

Han Songlin returned to the commando and announced the dissolution of the suicide squad and restored the original company system. Then he announced a new combat plan. Everyone felt nervous and relaxed. A big soldier muttered: "Damn I thought I wouldn't see tomorrow's sun tonight. The headquarters is wise, and this kind of playing style is practical!"

"You're afraid of death after a long time!" "Let me touch if I'm peeing my pants!" "Damn when did I ever be afraid of death? I signed up for the suicide squad," several soldiers teased, obviously they were completely relaxed. "Okay, now is not the time to talk nonsense. Use teams as units to form a combat team. Avoid the avenue and attack along the buildings. Remember that each team must maintain close contact."

The sound of explosions, machine gun strafing sounds, semi-automatic rifles, 38 large covers, and various sounds mixed together, so it was difficult for experienced veterans to distinguish the authenticity. The fierce battle was going on, and a broken room. Han Songlin walked in with dust, his left arm was wrapped in bandages and hung on his arm. A bullet passed through his forearm, forming a penetrating injury without hurting the bones.

The night battle ended on the fourth night, and the arduous battle was still in full swing. "Chen Han Songlin's regiment retreated from the battle to rest. During the day, the brothers replaced the defense and continued the attack. They continued to advance one meter and one meter from the battle line. The Yizhou urban area was captured by a quarter of the area.

The Japanese army made careful preparations and tried to severely damage our army in the cruel street battle. However, the Japanese army's defense system was still sound, and it can be said that our army's progress was very difficult. "Company Commander! There is a Japanese man who is not dead here!" The doors and windows in the room were sealed, and the gables to the west were blown down. Several Japanese lying on the ground, dying in a mess.

One of the living Japanese was staring at his eyes without saying a word under the flashlight. His left calf was covered in blood and was obviously hit by shrapnel. "As long as you surrender, I guarantee your life safety!" Han Songlin said in fluent Japanese. The Japanese shook his head and pointed his finger at his heart. Han Songlin took out a short gun to help the Japanese relieve the pain.

"Company Commander! The Japanese sealed all the rooms, which means there is a secret passage in this room!" A clever soldier asked a question. "Look for the secret passage immediately!" Han Songlin said decisively. After a while, he found the secret passage in the corner of the wall. Han Songlin ordered two soldiers to go down to reconnaissance. The two soldiers entered the secret passage with flashlights. Within 5 minutes, an explosion came from inside, and a thick smoke spurted out from the entrance of the cave. After a while, the two soldiers were rescued, one of them was killed, and the other was also dying.

"What's the situation?" Han Songlin asked the soldier with all his last strength and said weakly: "The Japanese exploded the secret passage," and the soldier tilted his head. "Damn, the Japanese are prepared and notified that each squad had no orders from me, so he was not allowed to enter the secret passage without authorization. When he found that the tunnel entrance would be destroyed." Han Songlin glanced at his watch, it was already 4 a.m., and then ordered the attack to stop.

Another night came, and Han Songlin led his troops to attack a primary school. After a night of fierce battle, the primary school was captured. The cruel battle has been going on for more than 20 days. As our attacking troops gradually eroded, the entire urban area was captured by three-fifths. It is just around the corner to capture Xinyizhou.

After capturing the primary school, the soldiers began to search for the remaining Japanese troops. Han Songlin and the correspondent walked to a door and found that the door was covered with a false alarm. The correspondent quickly reached out and pushed the door. It was too late for Han Songlin to reach out to stop it. As the door was pushed open, an anti-infantry mine exploded instantly. The correspondent was blown away in front, and Han Songlin also fell in a pool of blood.

On August 20, 5 days later than the scheduled plan, Xinyizhou was conquered. Then, Chushan and the first Japanese defense line of Zhongjiang were broken. Next, we had to face the second Japanese defense line of the direction of Yizhou, and our army attacked along the railway line. About 20 kilometers away from Xinyizhou, the attacking troops faced a powerful fortress group. Literary degree
