Seeing time passing by quickly, Qu Zhongyi knew that if he didn't use some strong medicine, the Japanese support troops might be coming, so he rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Brothers from the special operations battalion, come to me!"

.”

More than half of the special operations battalion soldiers immediately rushed out of the bunker. More than a hundred people advanced with tactical movements that were much more advanced than ordinary soldiers of the Northeast Army. The more than thirty submachine guns at the front faced the huddled Japanese army and rushed forward.

In the past, a submachine gun fired at them, catching the Japanese soldiers off guard. A rifle with a bolt pulled is far inferior to a submachine gun when fighting in complex terrain.

However, the special operations battalion only has this chance to charge. There is not enough "medicine". If it wants to launch another attack, it must return to the armory to replenish pistols.

More than a hundred people from the special operations battalion quickly opened a gap. The Japanese army's firepower in this direction was obviously much weaker. Zhao Zhenfan seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and started to charge forward with the third regiment.

The panicked Japanese army once again showed a fearless style. After many special operations battalions rushed in, the Japanese who had no time to change their weapons actually straightened their rifles with bayonets. A few people worked in a group and fought.

Soldiers from the special operations battalion surrounded them.

A shuttle swept down two or three, and then another one climbed up from the corner. After knocking down the one on the right, two more crawled out of the ditch on the left.

The Japanese army, fearless of death, even held grenades and rushed towards the Northeastern Army soldiers who rushed into the gap. The number of people in the special operations battalion was always too small, and they finally waited for the third regiment to come up. As a result, the combat effect of the third regiment was even worse, and they were defeated by the Japanese army.

He fought back fearlessly and collapsed on the spot.

It's not that they are not brave, it's just lack of training. The usually lax military discipline has also caused many soldiers to just follow and rush blindly. Once the attack is unfavorable, they will naturally follow and run back blindly.

At this time, Qu Zhongyi felt a deep sense of strength. Perhaps these Northeastern Army soldiers were not afraid of fighting, but when facing the Japanese troops who were well-trained and had slightly better weapons and equipment, they were not afraid of death.

In terms of fighting style, the officers and soldiers of Beida Camp were more than willing but insufficient.

The Japanese army was huddled in a huddle, and its combat level was superb. On the other hand, the Northeastern Army lacked artillery. As the physical fitness of the soldiers declined rapidly late at night, their fighting will was not firm enough, and their combat level was far lower than that of the Japanese army.

Coupled with the difficulty of fighting at night, the entire siege ended up in a mess. The huddled Japanese army escaped the crisis of destruction, but they also suffered more than 500 casualties. The casualty rate was as high as one-third.

It was actually the biggest loss suffered by the Japanese army since the war started.

This was really a strange night battle. From the beginning, the attackers had the advantage, to the attackers reacting, then to counter-encirclement, and then fell into a mess. Except for the heavy artillery and armored vehicles of the Japanese army at the beginning, the weapons of both sides actually

It was on the same level, and unlike in the future, the Japanese army's firepower far exceeded that of the Chinese ** team.

"Report, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived. Preliminary estimate is that there are about one division of troops."

When the scouts came back, Qu Zhongyi and others felt completely cold. At this time, it was impossible not to withdraw.

"Zhongyi, retreat."

When facing the crisis of being completely annihilated, senior Northeast Army generals such as Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen came to the temporary commanders such as Qu Zhongyi.

"Retreat? Where to retreat?" As an excellent officer, Qu Zhongyi, who had received many years of modern military education, also understood that after the deadly battle, the officers and soldiers of the Beida Battalion had done their best, and it was time to consider retreating.

Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen exchanged opinions and said: "This battle will be fought if not fought. Rong Zhen and I are not the cowards everyone thinks. Now that the matter has come to this, we should retreat to Shenyang and wait for help. Chief of Staff Rong and I

I will give my advice to the young marshal. Now that the matter has come to this, we must not give up on Shenyang."

This was also what Wang Yizhe and Rong Zhen had discussed. They had disobeyed the order to retreat, so they could only fight to the end. As long as the 7th Brigade could persist in Shenyang City for a period of time, whether it was out of consideration for the old troops or for the country,

Regardless of whether he was considering public opinion or not, the young commander could not still give the decisive order to retreat.

However, Qu Zhongyi also shook his head and said, "No, we cannot withdraw into Shenyang. Shenyang is too close to the Kwantung Army and less than 200 kilometers away from North Korea. Once the Kwantung Army receives reinforcements from the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea, not to mention the possible subsequent Japanese troops According to the reinforcement plan, these Japanese troops alone will be enough to destroy the entire Shenyang, including the 7th Brigade. We should withdraw to the direction of Jinzhou, re-build defenses, rely on reinforcements from the direction of Pingjin, and cooperate with the Northeast Army units in other areas of the Northeast to barely resist The offensive of the Japanese army. You have also seen the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army tonight. We cannot deal with just one Kwantung Army. A multi-division Japanese army stationed in North Korea is already on the border and can enter the Northeast at any time. We cannot defend one place."

"Zhongyi, didn't you say you couldn't give up Shenyang before? Why now..." Zhao Zhenfan obviously didn't agree with Qu Zhongyi.

"I am not against retreat, but as soldiers, we should resist to the maximum extent. When the situation is unbearable, choose a more optimized combat plan. This is what homeland defense operations should do." Qu Zhongyi's approach is not wrong. Fight to the death without retreating. Once the enemy's attack is too fierce and cannot be resisted at all costs, if there is no need to contain and block the enemy, you should choose a better combat plan, retreat to the next place, and build a new line of defense while waiting.

"What do you mean?" Although Rong Zhen didn't like this young man very much, he still admired him. Throughout the night, his special operations battalion was the bravest in combat, and achieved the best results in both defensive and offensive operations. Good results. It was hard for him to imagine that if the entire 7th Brigade was so elite, it might be able to stop a shrinking Japanese Second Division.

Qu Zhongyi knew deep down in his heart that his mission would truly begin. "The large troops retreated towards Jinzhou, built a defense line, and waited for reinforcements. The small troops stayed in Shenyang for a generation to conduct guerrilla operations and contain the Japanese army."

"That's the guerrilla warfare you've been insisting on, right?" General Wang Yizhe nodded, but in the end he made a different decision, "Zhongyi, the matter is over. If it had been before, I might have accepted the retreat under the orders of my superiors. order. But the war has been fought so far, but we need to stay in Shenyang. The Sino-Japanese war will definitely start in Shenyang. Since it has not retreated, the Northeast Army can no longer take the blame, but should stick to one place and serve the entire country. Nation, create an image."

Qu Zhongyi nodded indifferently. Wang Yizhe didn't say a word, but he understood. At this time, even if the remaining Northeastern Army died in Shenyang, it would be a good thing to wake up and alert the people of the country, and it would bring great influence to the people of the country in the future resistance to Japan. A huge inspiration.

If you retreated before, it was due to orders, but the battle has begun, and you must fight to the end without retreating.

If it were not for his highest mission, Qu Zhongyi would like to stay, but at this time, whether he should stay or leave, he could not say anything. Because at this time, whether he should leave or stay, there is no right or wrong. divided.

"Commander Qu Zhongyi of the special operations battalion," Wang Yizhe suddenly ordered, "order you to lead your troops to evacuate immediately and continue to fight against the Japanese with special guerrilla operations. To contain the Japanese army from invading China and occupying Northeast China."

"Yes." Qu Zhongyi couldn't help but raise his hands and salute with tears in his eyes. "General, take care."

In the early morning of September 18, 2017, after losing more than 1,000 people, the Japanese army finally completely captured the North Camp of the Northeastern Army in Shenyang after the reinforcements of the Second Division arrived. Most of the Seventh Brigade withdrew into Shenyang City, while the Japanese army After the Japanese troops stationed in Korea arrived, they also completed the siege of Shenyang.
