"boom!"

Ivanolov only felt a "buzzing" in his mind, his eyes turned black, and his whole body was driven 4 or 5 meters away by the huge shock wave caused by the explosion, and then fell heavily to the ground.

I don't know how long it took for Ivanolov to recover a little of his consciousness, but his ears were still buzzing, his mind was still drowsy, and his eyes were blurred. However, Ivanolov knew that he was still in the war and could never lie on the ground and wait for recovery, so he gritted his teeth and slowly got up from the ground, rubbed his eyes and shook his head, so he could recover as soon as possible.

At this time, several soldiers surrounded Long and said, "Captain, the castle has been blown up, what should we do?"

Ivanolov also recovered a little, rubbed his eyes hard and tried hard to determine the direction. He could vaguely see that the fortress at the stronghold had two large gaps, each gap could be penetrated, and the bodies of his Russian soldiers were lying in the gap. Ivanolov's heart sank and the fortress was destroyed, so the stronghold could not be defended.

It turned out that after the periphery positions were captured by the People's Army, most of the defenders surrendered to the People's Army. Ivanolov fled into Shenyang City with a small number of soldiers and was reorganized to defend on the Shenyang City Wall. After the Shenyang City Wall was captured by the People's Army, Ivanolov retreated to the stronghold in the city to fight. In the stronghold, the unit of the troops where Ivanolov was located was destroyed by artillery fire from the People's Army. Therefore, because Ivanolov was the highest-ranking battalion commander, he was appointed as the acting leader by the line of fire and led his regiment to continue to resist the attack of the People's Army.

And another soldier said: "Captain, the People's Army has attacked, what should we do?"

At this time, Ivanolov's vision was mostly restored, so he turned to look outside the stronghold. Sure enough, he saw that the People's Army had launched an attack on the stronghold, and was less than 200 meters away from the stronghold. Now he was left with dozens of soldiers, all of whom were ragged in military uniforms and covered with blood stains on his face. In fact, although Ivanolov was promoted to the acting regiment commander on the line of fire, the actual number of soldiers under his jurisdiction was not as large as a battalion he had commanded before. After continuous battles, there were only so many people left. Of course Ivanolov knew that after losing the firepower support of the fortress, it was impossible to withstand the People's Army's attack with these dozens and less than one hundred people, so he said: "Retreat, retreat to the command center."

After the street fighting in the city began, the People's Army's offense was hindered to a certain extent, because the strongholds built by the Russian army were very strong, because the fortresses of the strongholds were all made of stones and cement. The People's Army had heavy weapons and only 82 mortars, which had average damage to the Russian military fortifications. Therefore, the attack was blocked and casualties were also increasing.

However, after receiving the report, Qiu Yahui did not order the army to attack. After all, the People's Army still had enough weapons, so he immediately retried several 105mm cannons, hung them on the tractor of the 155mm cannon, dragged them into Shenyang City, and launched artillery bombardment on the Russian strongholds.

Of course, the power of the 105mm artillery is much greater than that of the 82 mortars, and the Russian strongholds are not really solid and indestructible. Therefore, the People's Army concentrated 2 or 3 artillery pieces to bombard one stronghold and defeated one by one. As a result, in the face of the powerful firepower of the People's Army, the Russian strongholds could not be held back and were broken one by one. After a day of fierce fighting, there were only three Russian strongholds left, one of which was the Russian command center. The three strongholds were arranged in a triangle, and together with the surrounding troops, there were about 10,000 left.

Of course, in addition to the defenders in the stronghold, there were also a large number of Russian troops relying on the buildings outside the stronghold to resist. However, as the People's Army dragged large-caliber artillery into the city and bombarded the stronghold, the Russian troops on the outside could naturally be unable to resist. In fact, the Russian army's fighting will not be strong. It only relied on the city walls of Shenyang and the stronghold's stronghold could hold on for a while. After losing these reliances, the Russian army's resistance melted like frost and snow under the sun, and surrendered to the People's Army.

At this time, the Russian chief general Stagli Fort was sitting at the conference table at the command center, his eyes straightened and he didn't say a word. At the conference table, other Russian officers and staff members looked at each other. The explosions outside were heard, and guns were constantly shaking the ground, trembling, and gray sand continued to scatter from the roof.

A staff officer said, "Commander, this place is too dangerous, so let's hide in the fort."

Stagri Fort looked at him and said, "What can I do if I hide in the fortress? Can I escape the artillery fire of the People's Army?"

While talking, a loud "boom" sound came from the outdoors, which made the tables and chairs tremble. Several glasses fell to the ground and fell to pieces. After a while, a staff officer came in to report that the No. 2 Fortress at the command center was destroyed by artillery fire from the People's Army.

When everyone in the room heard this, they were all in ashamed. The command center's stronghold was the largest, and a total of 3 fortresses were built. Now two fortresses have been destroyed by artillery fire from the People's Army. It is obvious that this stronghold cannot be defended.

At this time, another adviser said, "Chenyang cannot be defended anymore, we... let's surrender."

After hearing this, the others looked at Stagri Fort. In fact, everyone had plans to surrender, but no one was embarrassed to open this mouth first. Stagri Fort was the chief general of the Russian army after all, so it was up to him to decide in the end.

Stagriborg looked at everyone and said, "What about your opinions?"

After the staff officer who said he surrendered just now had no psychological obstacles, he immediately said: "Chenyang can't defend at all. We can only surrender now, otherwise we will die here. What else can we hesitate about?"

As soon as he said this, the others were no longer silent and said that they could only surrender now. So Stagli Fort nodded and said, "Okay, then surrender."

After the commander made a call, several staff members immediately took action, used a few tablecloths as white flags, picked them out with wooden sticks, and ordered the Russian army in the stronghold to stop resisting. Because it was not easy to be happy, the People's Army's shells were still falling. If one shell happened to fall into the command center, it would be all over.

After receiving the order, Ivanolov, who was preparing to resist to the death in the stronghold, also put down his rifle and let out a long breath. He retreated from the position outside the city to the city, and even changed the strongholds. During this period, Ivanolov had at least 3-4 chances to surrender to the People's Army. However, although Ivanolov did not stop the other soldiers from surrendering, he himself was willing to take risks and changed positions after positions, but he always insisted on fighting without giving up. Although Ivanolov himself knew that this was an impossible battle, he still insisted on stubbornly, until his master ordered the refusal to give up. For example, the People's Army surrendered, Ivanolov stopped resisting and accepted the reality of surrender.

Sure enough, not long after the Russian white flag was picked out, the People's Army stopped shelling. Stagli Fort immediately sent two staff officers and an interpreter, carrying a white flag, to walk out of the stronghold and negotiate with the People's Army about surrender.

In fact, there is nothing to negotiate. After all, the times have developed to this point, and surrender has a basic fixed procedural model. It is nothing more than that both sides agree to avoid misunderstandings. The Russian army handed over all weapons and obeyed the management of the People's Army. The People's Army also promised to ensure the personal safety of Russian soldiers, etc.

Then the two Russian staff returned. Not long after, Russian soldiers came out of the stronghold one after another, put down their rifles and weapons at the designated location of the People's Army, and then gathered at another location. Ivanolov was also mixed with the Russian army and calmly accepted the end of becoming a prisoner. Stagli Fort handed over his sword to Fu Chang, the commander of the 7th Division of the People's Army who was responsible for commanding the attack, and expressed his surrender. Then the People's Army entered the stronghold for a clean search.

After the surrender of the largest stronghold, other Russian troops who had resisted surrendered one after another. At 5 pm, all the organized Russian troops in Chenyang City had surrendered, leaving only a very small number of Russian soldiers who resisted sporadically, and the People's Army also carried out a comprehensive cleanup in Shenyang City.

The entire battle against Chenyang lasted for 5 days. The People's Army killed a total of 53,825 Russian troops, and captured 258,148 people, including a large number of generals and school-level officers, and seized a large number of weapons, ammunition, supplies, horses and livestock, etc. The People's Army itself suffered 4,126 people and another 6,735 people were injured. In terms of casualties alone, it can be said that this was a perfect victory.

Compared with the seized materials, the strategic value after the victory of this battle was even greater. First of all, the last foreign army in the Northeast was finally completely eliminated. From then on, the East China government not only completely solved this important problem, but also completely controlled the Northeast region, and could calmly deploy troops and deal with the subsequent wars. In addition, after occupying Shenyang, the Central and Eastern Railway was also fully connected, which greatly improved the People's Army's troops and material allocation in the Northeast region.

On the third day after the People's Army occupied Chenyang, the work on the battlefield was not over yet. The order of the Military Commission of the East China Government was also passed to the Northeast War Zone. First, the command of the Northeast War Zone was moved to Harbin and ordered the 3rd Army to move to Harbin to guard immediately, because the Russian army is now gathering forces in Chita and Manzhouli, and Harbin's defense is now under the responsibility of the 1st Army, but the 1st Army is also responsible for the garrison of Vladivostok, with the entire distance of more than 800 kilometers. Therefore, the pressure on defense is quite high. When the capture of Shenyang, the People's Army has also freed up a large amount of troops, so naturally, it is necessary to increase the garrison on the Harbin front line first.
