Chapter 128: Withdraw and set up an ambush

The 2nd Division and the 20th Division both suffered such a big loss at the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and now when they see that Xu Guoren is running away with his troops, they will naturally not give up easily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Troops were sent one after another, while seizing Shenyang City, while pursuing.

After dawn, the plaster flag of the Japanese army was planted at the head of Shenyang City, and Ishihara Waner moved the headquarters to Shenyang City with Jiro Tamen and others.

Because the 20th Division did not fight for the 2nd Division when it entered the city, the division headquarters was stationed in Beidaying, and its main force bypassed Shenyang City to pursue the retreating Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Therefore, it is now the 2nd Division of Jiro Duomen that is stationed in Shenyang.

The devils of the 2nd Division, because when they attacked the airport, suffered too many casualties, so as soon as they entered the city, they began to go crazy and search for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was not found, and it was found that Shenyang City was empty, and the frenzied devils began to vent their anger on the tens of thousands of landlords and tyrants who were unwilling to move away.

Burning, killing, looting, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, more than 30,000 people who stayed behind were killed by the devil in less than half a day, and the rest were only some old, weak, sick and disabled women and children who were ruined by them.

At the same time, the search unit of the 2nd Division also found Japanese merchants and expatriates buried alive on the side of Dongshan Zuizi, and Tamonjiro was furious when he received the report, and ordered the chief of staff to personally lead people to arrest the Chinese who were still alive in the city, and he wanted to execute these Shina people in public to avenge the dead Japanese.

At the invitation of Jiro Tamen, Ishihara came to the east gate of Shenyang, and found a large number of armed Imperial soldiers gathered outside the city, and among them, a larger number of Chinese civilians had gathered.

"What do you mean, Sir?" Ishihara realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned his head and asked.

Duomen Jiro said with a gloomy face: "The imperial subjects in Shenyang City have all been killed by the Chinese army, and now we want to let them return blood for blood, tooth for tooth!" ”

Ishihara was taken aback when he heard this, "Have all the imperial civilians in Shenyang City been killed?" ”

The chief of staff next to him also gritted his teeth and said: "Then there can be a fake, the search force is digging, and it is in Dongshanzuizi!" If Ishihara-kun doesn't believe it, you can go and have a look. ”

Ishihara Wan'er looked indifferent, and wanted to persuade Tamen Jiro to leave some living words in order to maintain normal rule over Shenyang, but he was swallowed hard.

Because, he knows, what he says now, Duomen Jiro will not let go of these people under the city!

At this moment, among the crowd under the city, there were a few shameless businessmen who were still showing their loyalty to the Japanese: "The imperial army spares his life, and the prince spares his life!" We are all good people who are willing to submit! ”

"Yes, the reason why we didn't withdraw is to join the imperial army!"

However, the begs for mercy of the forcible and violent obedient people who were shameless and disregarded by their own families did not arouse any pity from the Japanese army.

As Duomen Jiro nodded, the chief of staff next to him waved his hand, and the thousands of devil soldiers who had already been prepared pulled the bolt one after another, and then pulled the trigger, and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns and thousands of rifles opened fire one after another.

Dense rains of bullets poured down into the crowd, and these unarmed, unwilling to give up their possessions, and would rather surrender to the enemy, were all shot like mustard and fell in pieces.

Soon corpses were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed.

After the slaughter of the devils, Shenyang City was already empty, and there were really no chickens and dogs left.

At this time, the pursuing troops of the 20th Division also pursued to the area of Zhonghua Temple.

When the devil chased him into a mountain pass, Xu Guoren, Zhou Shibin, Yang Wentao and others led a large number of soldiers of the National Salvation Army, and suddenly rushed out from the grass and woods in all directions.

It turned out that Xu Guoren concluded that the devil would not give up and would definitely chase after him, so he took the main force of the National Salvation Army in the area of Zhonghua Temple and chose a suitable terrain to prepare to ambush the devil.

"Rush!"

"Kill!" Nearly 10,000 officers and men of the National Salvation Army swarmed out from all directions, concentrating their firepower on the pursuing troops of the devils.

There were only less than 2,000 people in this devil army, and in order to speed up the pursuit, they were lightly armed and did not carry any heavy weapons.

Under the siege of tens of thousands of troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there was no time to seize the advantageous terrain and build fortifications.

It was quickly defeated, and in less than an hour, more than 1,000 devils were all wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

With nearly ten to one troops and similar weapons and equipment on both sides, even if the devils can fight well, they will only be wiped out.

By the time the follow-up troops of the 20th Division came over, Xu Guoren had already evacuated quickly with his troops.

At this time, the 20th Division was able to put into pursuit less than two full wings, and the cavalry wing was no longer there.

Therefore, from the point of view of troops, the opportunity to pursue and annihilate Xu Guoren's anti-Japanese National Salvation Army alone has been lost.

Worried that there would be another ambush, the devil stopped the pursuit, stopped at the Zhonghua Temple, and while cleaning the battlefield and collecting the bodies of the Japanese soldiers who died in the battle, he reported to the division headquarters and asked for reinforcements.

When Ishihara learned that the 20th Division had been ambushed and suffered heavy losses, he immediately suggested to Jiro Tamen and the headquarters of the 20th Division that the pursuit of the Japanese National Salvation Army be suspended.

The reason is very simple, after the battle of Shenyang, the two divisions of the main force of the Kwantung Army suffered huge losses, and almost half of them can be said to have suffered casualties.

Since the strategic goal of capturing Shenyang has been achieved, there is no need to rush to pursue the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, and you can rest in Shenyang for a while.

After the arrival of reinforcements and the consolidation of key towns along the South Manchurian railway line, they concentrated their efforts on encircling and suppressing the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

In the final analysis, the northeast is too big, and the area of Liaoning is larger than that of Japan itself, and the Kwantung Army needs time to digest such a large area of occupied territory.

Both the 2nd and 20th Divisions suffered heavy casualties and were unable to pursue, so they agreed to Ishihara's suggestion to stop the pursuit.

The 2nd Division was stationed in Shenyang, and the 20th Division marched north along the railway line to Changchun, controlled this important town in North Manchuria, formally incorporated the puppet army of Xiqia and other departments, and extended its sphere of influence to North Manchuria.

Prepare for the capture of all of Manchuria.

At the same time, he sent a telegram to Seishiro Itagaki and ordered him to stop the attack and lead the cavalry troops to withdraw.

In this way, Xu Guoren and Huang Xiansheng's anti-Japanese National Salvation Army gained a precious respite, and they led the main force of the National Salvation Army into Fushun, where they rested for half a day, and then continued to retreat to the mouth of the Meihe River.

Du Haifeng also led more than 1,000 Jilin garrisons to leave Jilin and rushed to respond.

Five days later, the 20th Division of the Japanese Army arrived in Changchun to rendezvous with the puppet army led by Xiqia and other traitors, and began to join forces to attack the anti-Japanese troops led by Li Du, Feng Zhanhai and others, and the pressure on Li Du and others doubled.

And Xu Guoren and Huang Xiansheng also led the main force to catch up with the evacuation team, and joined Du Haifeng's troops who came on horseback.

After meeting and greeting each other, the combined troops withdrew into the mouth of the Meihe River.
