readx; According to Li Chuang's report, Chen Zhong looked at the operational map of Liaodong, pondered for a while, and said: "The Japanese army's move should be worried that our army will directly attack Korea after taking Mukden, so this Sixth Army is completely prepared to withdraw from Mukden. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Burning ^ Text ^ Library]

This move can be seen in the fear of the Japanese army base camp, and their gambler nature is exposed.

According to the king, the Japanese base camp meant that if the Japanese army could win the battle of Mukden, they would continue to increase their forces in Liaodong, so that they could better ensure the security of the Korean Peninsula if they held the area north of the Liao River.

If the Japanese army loses in the Battle of Mukden, then the purpose of their deployment of this Sixth Army is to ensure that the three armies of Mukden can safely withdraw from Liaodong, and at the same time, it is also to prevent our Hainan army from attacking Korea.

Therefore, General Li, Colonel Ma, this king thinks that this is a sign that the Japanese army's military spirit is shaken, and they do not have enough confidence in the decisive battle with our Hainan army in Mukden, which is also a taboo for any soldier!

At the same time, from this point of view, our Hainan army should be more confident in winning this decisive battle in Mukden!

This king commands! The 50,000 defenders stationed in Jinzhou and Dalian were transferred to the Liaoyang area as a reserve for the decisive battle of Fengtian! Tomorrow, we will start the decisive battle of Mukden, and in this decisive battle, we must resolutely and thoroughly strike at the Japanese army and wipe out all the Japanese Manchurian army on the Liaodong Peninsula! ”

Chen Zhong assembled six regular armies, 250,000 men, and erected 1,200 artillery pieces and 500 machine guns on a front of more than 100 kilometers in the Mukden area.

Chen Zhong's plan for the Battle of Fengtian was to attack the two flanks of Fengtian City with Li Chuang's Seventh and Tenth Armies in order to attract enemy firepower and contain reinforcements on both flanks, so as to ensure the frontal attack of the First, Fifth and Third Armies.

Their main direction of attack was the Japanese army in the Shahe area on the front, which was served by the Fifth Army, with the First and Third Armies as cover and containment, and a reinforced army, the Eleventh Army, as a general reserve.

At this time, the Japanese troops assembled along the line of the Shahe River, with the 1st Army Corps on the right flank, were about 25 kilometers away from the middle zone;

The front is the 3rd Corps, which is also under the command of Nogi Noshinori, twenty kilometers from the front; On the left flank was the 2nd Army Corps, forty-five kilometers from the front. The general reserve was the ** 10th Division, and a cavalry brigade of the Japanese army.

The total strength of the Japanese army included 250,000 cavalry brigades, 1,200 cannons, and 180 machine guns.

The next day, the Battle of Mukden began at five o'clock in the morning.

The Seventh Army of the Hainan Army was the first to attack on the left flank of the Japanese army. In an instant, the Liaodong Peninsula, which had been quiet for seven days, began to fire again.

The right flank of the Japanese army was fiercely attacked by the Hainan army, and the Seventh Army of Hainan launched the most powerful attack on the right flank of the Japanese army with the main attack posture, and 300 artillery pieces fought for two hours.

An hour after the attack of the Seventh Army, the battle on the left flank of the Japanese army had also begun. The 300 artillery pieces of the 10th Army of the Hainan Army began a fierce artillery battle with the 2nd Army of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army suddenly used Akiyama's cavalry brigade to attack. The frontal unit of the Hainan Army, the Fifth Army, did not use artillery to carry out artillery bombardment, but set up 400 machine guns in the trenches, and adopted a goose-shaped machine gun formation against the cavalry brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko, which was known as the ace cavalry unit of the Japanese army, and gave the Japanese cavalry vanguard a fierce strafing fire.

This Japanese soldier Akiyama Yoshikobu, who had taken the lead in using machine guns on a large scale on the battlefield, was beaten all over the field by the machine guns of the Fifth Army. Under the fierce machine gun fire of the Hainan army, the myth of the cavalry was completely shattered.

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the Fifth Army in Hainan lost 20,000 rounds of ammunition and did not suffer a single casualty, wiped out the Japanese cavalry brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko, and captured 500 horses. Akiyama Yoshigu was also seriously injured and fled back to Mukden.

Because the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the Japanese troops on the left and right flanks were pinned down by the 7th and 10th armies of the Hainan Army, and in addition, the brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko was completely annihilated, which further increased the sense of crisis in the front of the Japanese army, so that Nogi Noshinori had to use the reinforcements of the 10th Division as a reserve in advance.

After destroying the cavalry brigade of Akiyama Yoshiko, the Hainan army began to point 600 cannons at the frontal position of the Japanese army.

In an instant, a fierce artillery battle began between the positions of the Hainan army and the Japanese army. Facing the battle situation in front of you. Chen Zhong asked Li Chuang to transfer the First Army to the right flank, detoured behind the Japanese and began to flank the right flank of the Japanese army with the Seventh Army, and the Japanese First Army was attacked by the Hainan army with the fiercest attack.

They asked the Japanese base camp to transfer the Sixth Army to support, but the Japanese base camp gave a refusal.

Under the encirclement and suppression of the First Army and the Seventh Army of the Hainan Army, the First Army of the Japanese Army retreated to a narrow area southwest of Mukden for the final resistance, and at the same time, the Third Army on the front of Hainan outflanked the Tenth Army of Hainan on the left flank of the Japanese army, and flanked the Tenth Army Corps on the left flank of the Japanese army.

In this way, the two wings of the Japanese army outside Mukden City were firmly tied like the wings of a bird, and they could no longer echo each other with the frontal battlefield in the middle.

Chen Zhong ordered the reserves of the 50,000 Hainan Army in Liaoyang and the Fifth Army in the middle frontal battlefield to launch the fiercest attack on the Japanese army's middle front.

Chen Zhong ordered the 600 cannons to advance one kilometer forward, and smashed the shells into the depth of the Japanese middle front, and he asked the 600 cannons to be divided into two groups, and after half an hour of shelling, they pushed forward alternately, and the 200 machine guns were on the left and right sides of the artillery position, and the first 200 meters were 200 meters ahead to fire fiercely at the Japanese troops at close range outside the radius of the shell explosion.

On the middle front, artillery and machine-gun batteries pushed forward for more than three hours and fired alternately, forcing the Japanese to retreat step by step.

Nogi Noshinori, who was in Mukden City, repeatedly asked the commander of the Manchurian Army to the new Sixth Army on the Yalu River to quickly reinforce Mukden City, but he was refused. Kodama Gentaro, chief of staff of the Manchurian Army, suggested that Nogi Noshinori withdraw from the Battle of Mukden and retreat to the Korean Peninsula in a planned manner.

At this moment, the first and second armies of the left and right flanks of the Japanese army have been completely wiped out by the Hainan army.

The middle front of the Japanese army had also retreated to the outside of Mukden City, and Li Chuang gave the order to launch a charge.

The 1st, 5th, 3rd, 7th, and 15th Route armies of the Hainan Army rushed to Fengtian City together.
