When Yukio Kasawara learned that the two divisions that had come to the rescue of his troops were coming, he organized his troops to retreat to a high ground southeast of Lotus Mountain, intending to hold on to this high ground and wait for reinforcements.

Zheng Ming led the 101st Division to organize several attacks, but they were unable to break through the defense line of Kasawara Yukio's troops. Fang Yun was very anxious when he learned that the devil's reinforcements would arrive tomorrow, and he also knew that Zheng Ming had done his best, but if he couldn't defeat Kasahara Yukio's troops before the devil's reinforcements arrived, he would be in a stalemate with the devil's troops, and the anxious troops would not be able to withdraw back to Changchun in time.

Fang Yun missed the power of artillery fire very much, but mortars and other heavy weapons had been transferred to Changchun, and the rocket launcher shells had also been concentrated in Changchun and the eighteen fortresses of Lianhua Mountain, so it would be so difficult to attack Kasahara Yukio's troops, who had the advantage of high ground. Originally, Shangguan Yingwei's 102nd Division was preparing to carry out a surprise attack, but in this case, they could only be exposed in advance and intercept the two devil divisions that rushed to reinforce them.

Under the crazy attack of the devils, the soldiers of Wang Lianfang's 111th Division relied on their tenacious will to fight to the death with the devils in the ruins of the city wall.

By the evening of November 26, when the fighting temporarily stopped, Wang Lianfang's 111th Division was reduced by nearly one-third, and if this continued, perhaps Wang Lianfang would be able to hold out for three days, but it was likely that the 111th Division would also be lost.

After Lin Junxiong received the battle situation of the Outer Circle Formation, he was silent for a long time before ordering: "Order the troops of the 111th Division on the east and west sides to abandon the defenses on the east and west sides, withdraw to the north and south, and withdraw to the inner side of the outer circle formation after resisting the first attack of the devils tomorrow morning, and withdraw to the periphery of the inner circle formation tomorrow night to hold on." ”

In just one day of fighting, the troops lost more than 20,000 people, and Umezu Mijiro was a little frightened; it is understandable that the New First Army lost more than 10,000 people in the morning due to the fierce artillery attack, but in the afternoon it was supported by artillery fire, and the troops still lost more than 10,000 people.

Thinking of the tragic situation of the battle reported by the divisions on the east and west sides at the end of the day, Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but shudder, and he forcibly calmed himself.

"Tomorrow, the direction of the main attack will become north and south, and one division will be dropped on the east and west sides to reinforce the north and south, and in addition, order the troops in the direction of Fengtian and Rehe to speed up their march, rush to Lotus Mountain as soon as possible, and destroy the nest of the new first army!"

On November 27, the devils who thought they would launch another onslaught on Changchun early in the morning seemed unusually calm, until ten o'clock in the morning, when the devils' artillery fire sounded on the east and west, but the devils' attack was not seen. Immediately after that, artillery fire broke out from the north and south, and a large number of devils began to attack.

Wang Lian was hidden in a street to the south, and yesterday's battle alerted him to a head-on attack with the devils, and although more devils were eliminated, the attrition of the troops was still beyond his bearing.

The devil troops who rushed through the broken city wall wondered, the front of the new first army, which was still desperately resisting yesterday, lost its trace today, and the devil troops searched and advanced slowly, and when the devils were less than 100 meters away, Wang Lianfang poked his head out of the concealment, and as soon as the pistol in his hand rang out, the soldiers on both sides drilled out and hit the devils hard.

A large number of devils scattered in all directions to find cover, and the commander of the devils finally organized a counterattack of the troops, and ordered the signal corps to contact the artillery to bombard the blocking troops on the opposite side. The cannon sounded, but the devil commander was surprised to find that his troops were also covered with artillery fire because they were too close, and he cursed his own artillery while ordering his troops to dodge.

Wang Lian knew that the other party must have asked for an artillery attack when the devils hurriedly retreated, so he immediately ordered the troops to withdraw to both sides, and when the devils were dodging artillery fire everywhere, they launched an attack on the devils from both sides.

The devils attacking from the south dropped a large number of corpses and retreated to the position where they had begun to attack, and the devils in the north suffered similar to those in the south.

In just two hours, the troops lost nearly 7,000 people, and they did not advance an inch, Umezu Mijiro turned a blue face to several commanders under him, and he was angry, the spies in Changchun City did not send information for a long time, and all of them were discovered, and he showed such strong combat effectiveness against how many new troops there were in Changchun. Of course, the attack could not stop there, and the new army in the city must be oppressed, and when the troops of Mukden and Rehe and the troops of Kasahara Yukio and Tojo Iwa captured Lianhua Mountain, and then took Changchun in one fell swoop, he did not believe that the small Changchun City could withstand the repeated attacks of more than 300,000 Kwantung troops.

"Report to the general, the two divisions of Lianhuashan to rescue Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara encountered resistance in the southwest of Lianhuashan, due to the attack of the other side from the front and rear, our army suffered heavy casualties, and has retreated to Panshi County ten kilometers away for temporary rectification, please ask for instructions on whether to continue to go."

"Yaga!" Umezu Mijiro's bad mood was finally ignited, and he slammed his fists on the table and scolded: "How many new armies are there in Lotus Mountain, Tojo Iwa in the northwest is too frightened to go, and only one division of the two divisions of Kasahara Yukio in the southeast is left to hold on to the high ground, and now a new army unit has appeared in the southwest, beating the two divisions back, all rice buckets, Yaga, and they are all a shame for the empire." ”

Several officers were so frightened that they lowered their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to come out.

Umezu Mijiro vented for a long time and slowly calmed down, "Two more divisions from the south of Changchun will be sent to the southeast of Lianhua Mountain, and the new 1st Army of Lianhua Mountain will not be able to destroy it, but it will also block the retreat of the new 1st Army of Lianhua Mountain from the southeast." The troops in the four directions of Changchun City, attacking at the same time at two o'clock in the afternoon, must break through the perimeter of Changchun before dark, and the commander of the division where he is located will be immediately removed from his post if the task is not completed in any direction. ”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the devils launched a fierce attack from the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest, and for a time the artillery fire in the outer city of Changchun was full of fire, and Wang Lianfang had withdrawn to the main artillery array of the outer circle at this time, commanding more than 100 mortars to prepare to meet the enemy, and the troops in all four directions chose some solid buildings in Changchun, ready to rush into Changchun City The devils were ready to attack head-on.

Due to the tragic resistance encountered in the north and south in the morning, the devils who entered Changchun did not dare to advance quickly, but slowly marched step by step, and did not encounter any fierce resistance along the way, but the Japanese army did not dare to be careless.

The main artillery array is arranged in a semicircle in the east, west and north directions of Changchun, and there is a bazooka array of more than 300 in the south. When the devils were less than two kilometers away from the artillery array, the coordinates of the devil's large army were heard from three directions, and Wang Lian gave an order, and more than 100 mortars were fired together, and only stopped after three rounds of shelling.

After the devil troops everywhere were bombarded, they changed direction one after another, but just after gathering to attack, the artillery fire swept in again, so after four times, the devils had to temporarily stop the attack, scattered and waited for the artillery fire in the city to stop attacking again, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

When the news of the artillery attack on the east, west, and north sides came back, Umezu Mijiro wondered why there was no artillery attack on the south, and the calmer the more dangerous it was, he cautiously ordered the troops in the south to slow down, while the attacking troops in the east, west, and north directions sent a wing to open the way in front.

Judging from all indications, the new first army in the city should be short of shells, otherwise it would not have been shelled so intermittently, but Umezu Mijiro did not dare to take the risk, he wanted to consume the shells of the Changchun defenders, and then use the numerical advantage to wipe out all the new first army in Changchun City.

As for the south, I don't know what kind of danger lies behind the calm, but in any case, Umezu Yoshijiro still has to figure it out.

After the mortars of the outer circle array fired the last shells, they were sent to the inner circle array with the assistance of the support group, Zhang Rubi received more than 100 cannons, and his heart was overjoyed, plus the artillery fire sent by the outer circle array, now he has 320 cannons, more than 4,000 shells. He arranged the cannons around the inner city according to the Bagua Array, and nearly 3,000 support regiments in each direction were responsible for assisting the artillery to constantly change their positions, so as not to be discovered by the devils and cause great damage to the artillery array.

On the afternoon of the 27th, the devils seemed to realize that the shells of the New First Army had run out, and began to gather troops from all over the place to attack, because there were grenades and explosives left behind after the retreat of the New First Army ambushed everywhere, and finally the devil's troops had to be forcibly concentrated, and there was only one passage in the southeast, northwest, and four directions.

When the devils in the east, west, and north directions advanced to less than two kilometers away from the inner city, they successively encountered the resistance of the new first army based on some solid buildings, and the two sides entered the street battle, because the distance between the two sides was extremely close, the devils' artillery did not dare to open fire, and the new first army was based on the defense of strong buildings, and the devils were constantly attacked by small units of troops everywhere.

The devils attacking from the south thought they were lucky, and they did not encounter many fierce attacks along the way, but they were killed and wounded by grenades arranged by the new army, and when they advanced to the Nancheng Square, the commander ordered the troops to rest in place and prepare to wait for the reconnaissance troops to feedback information before advancing.

Suddenly, hundreds of shells flew over, and for a time the nearly 30,000 troops gathered in the square panicked and took refuge in all directions, but the shells seemed endless, and they did not stop until nearly 2,000 shells were blown up, and nearly 30,000 troops were damaged by the artillery fire.

Before there was time to regroup the troops, the shouts of killing were everywhere in front, and the devils, who were frightened by the shells, could not resist and ran out.

When night fell, the fighting in Changchun City stopped again, except for the remnants of fireworks left by the artillery fire everywhere, Changchun once again returned to a brief calm.

Umezu Mijiro was so angry that he was speechless, the damage of the troops today was more than 40,000, and after two days of attack, Changchun City could not be taken, and the casualties of the troops reached nearly 60,000, and there were less than 100,000 people left.

"Tomorrow, order all the troops to besiege but not attack, and rest for a day!" Umezu Mijiro had to give this reluctant order.

After Lin Junxiong received the battle situation, he couldn't help but be excited, yesterday Wang Lianfang's 111th Division lost nearly one-third, Lin Junxiong had to let Zhang Rubi's 112th Division draw two regiments to support, but he didn't expect to achieve such brilliant results today.

"Changchun will usher in a short period of peace, and Lotus Mountain should be lively!"
