136. The main force will be divided

Hearing about the infantry that fought the little devils, Ma Deyao shouted: "No problem! The first formation of tanks goes into battle! The second formation then followed, and the infantry company covered both flanks, and set off! At this order, the four tanks rushed out first. Two infantry companies also rushed forward from the flank.

This team of little devils is one of the reinforcements who rushed over from Liaoyang. Because the railroad was blown up, all the troops had to go on foot. This group of little devils is the forward troops, and they arrived here after a night of walking and marching.

Their mission is to capture the airfield and seize all the equipment here, especially the valuable fighters! Unexpectedly, as soon as I saw the shadow of the airport, I heard a violent explosion from inside, and then there was a fire! As long as it's a person, you can figure it out with your ass, this kind of explosion is definitely not good!

The leader of the devil squad was so angry that he shouted: "The conscience of the people of China is greatly broken, and they are destroying the planes of the Great Japanese Empire, and their conscience is greatly broken!" Kill the Cock! Kill the people of Hinachina, retake the airfield, this is the property of our Great Japanese Empire! ”

Before they could get to the door, four tanks had already rushed out! I saw a flash of fire from the muzzle, boom! Boom! Boom! The cannonballs just smashed over! "Baga! Tanks of the Chinese people! Circuitous! Roundabout the past! Blow up the tank! ”

Circuitous? No more!

Duan Zhixian's second battalion was the original machine gun company, all light machine guns. Although it is now called an infantry company for the time being, the weapons in his hands have not been changed. The enemy wants to make a detour, but there is no door!

The little devil couldn't see it, so he could only retreat temporarily. It's a pity that it's a little late to react now!

Ma Deyao's second formation had already rushed up, and 8 tanks opened fire together, blocking the way of the devil! There are 16 machine guns in the back, and it is a wild sweep to catch the devil's ass!

Except for the thirty or so little devils who broke out of the encirclement, the rest of the little devils all died without corpses!

By the time the sun rises, the entire airport is in ruins! It was pitch black for more than ten miles, telling endless sorrow!

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhang Xiang ordered the team to be closed and immediately set off to the assembly area. Who knew that after walking less than five miles, Zhang Xiang saw cannonballs flying out of the valley on the left. Look at the ballistic curve, it is smashed into Fengtian City. He suddenly felt a thrill in his heart, and immediately found Ma Deyao to discuss, and sent two formations to destroy the little devil's artillery position!

Zhang Xiang's judgment was right, this was an artillery brigade of the Second Division. Because the railroad was destroyed, all of them were temporarily replaced by mules and horses and hauled over urgently. Ma Deyao's 1st and 2nd tank formations of eight tanks rushed into a valley and found 12 mountain guns.

The soldiers of the two infantry companies who served as flank cover suddenly became excited when they saw so many cannons. With 36 machine guns, a small squad of imp infantry was quickly annihilated, and then the imp artillery was executed on the spot. Only then did he beckon Zhang Xiang to come over and directly hang the mountain cannon in the back of the car and tow it away.

It's a pity that one of the little devils' artillery brigade was dragged away by others after only two rounds of salvos. When the follow-up personnel of the artillery brigade arrived, they didn't know where the artillery went, and the position was full of the wreckage of the imperial warriors! Yes, it's all wreckage, minced meat that has been crushed by tanks!

It was precisely because of this failure to do business properly that Zhang Xiang's first brigade delayed the time to arrive at the assembly site.

After listening to Zhang Xiang's narration, Bai Shujie and Hou Zide both said in their hearts: "This is a fool who has a foolish fortune!" If it weren't for his crooked beating, Huang Xiansheng's police corps would have suffered, and the current outcome might have completely changed! ”

When Zhang Xiang saw Hou Zide, he immediately stepped forward to say hello. The two of them had known each other for a long time in the telegram, and they had not met in person until today. Everyone is a soldier, and they are also young people, of course, they are self-cooked. Before he could say a few words, he was almost wearing a pair of pants.

Seeing the queue of tanks coming in a long way, Bai Shujie thought in his heart, and felt that he should contribute more to the defense of Fengtian. After discussing with Zhang Xiang, Hou Zide, Ma Deyao and others, it was decided to leave six tanks to ambush here.

If there is an enemy chasing when Huang Xiansheng's unit breaks through, give the little devil a surprise attack! The long-distance artillery fire should help Huang Xiansheng! Regardless of the situation, at 8 o'clock this evening, we must immediately retreat to the west and assemble in the area of Wohu Mountain.

In order to ensure the safety of these six tanks, the second brigade also remained. Because the cavalry is fast in maneuvering, it can be more quickly maneuvered. After all the tanks were replenished with fuel and shells, the troops here were under the unified command of Hou Zide, and the large force continued to retreat westward.

After Bai Shujie and Hou broke up, they sent a telegram to Huang Xiansheng halfway through.

The telegram once again reiterated the necessity of abandoning Mukden and preserving its strength, and explained that its reinforcements would hold out until eight o'clock in the evening at most, hoping that Huang Xiansheng would be able to make a decision as soon as possible. When the interruption continues, there will be trouble. Yunyun.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Bai Shujie and his entourage finally arrived at Crouching Tiger Villa. Cao Fengxiang led everyone to greet them, arranged for the soldiers of the first brigade to take a bath and eat, and then assigned the barracks to sleep. In the early morning of the next day, Hou Zide led the team back to the station. Bai Shujie issued an order that except for the remaining troops of the third brigade, the soldiers of all other units will have a three-day holiday!

At the same time, the Longxiang Trading Company was ordered to urgently transport the purchased beef and mutton. The logistics department is fully equipped with meat to ensure that the soldiers can recover as soon as possible.

On September 23, 1931, Bai Shujie held a battle summary and division meeting. At the meeting, Bai Shujie highly praised the performance of the participating units and focused on commending the second brigade. Under the leadership of Hou Zide, the second brigade fought continuously for two days and nights, attacked fortifications twice, and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese troops!

In this battle, the Youyan anti-Japanese detachment lost a total of 119 soldiers, 187 were seriously wounded, and 493 were lightly wounded. At present, the minor and serious wounded have been transferred to the Sanxiandong base area for recuperation. At the meeting, it was decided to reward all the wounded with 100 yuan.

At the meeting, it was decided that the Second Brigade would be awarded a collective first-class meritorious service, and that all officers and men would be rewarded with 100 yuan each. All participating troops, all officers and soldiers will be rewarded with 50 pieces each! For the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, if there are family members, a bereavement pension of 200 yuan will be issued. In order to prevent the little devils and traitors from digging graves, no monuments will be erected for the time being.

The meeting held that now that the three main forces have joined forces, it is necessary to straighten out the command system, unify the structure of the troops, and readjust their respective defense areas.

After extensive discussions, Zuihou decided to concentrate the guard battalion, the Donggou Independent Battalion, and the temporary tank battalion of the First Brigade to form the headquarters garrison brigade. Then use the 1st Brigade to supplement the battalion to complete the replenishment of the major teams.

Considering the cruelty of the future war, Bai Shujie and Zhao Jinxi separately consulted Cao Fengxiang's opinion, and decided to use the militia of Crouching Lake Village as the backbone and merge with the independent cavalry battalion to formally form the third brigade. And according to Cao Fengxiang's own opinion, the list of command bodies of the third brigade was determined.

On September 26, 1931, Bai Shujie signed an order to formally establish the former enemy headquarters. The specific preparation is as follows:
