Chapter 42: The Great Victory of Fengtian (I)

Just when Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry and armored soldiers to kill the army, the army was crushed and the blood flowed like a river.

Liu Jianguo also arrived with a regiment and the pursuing soldiers of the airport garrison battalion, and without any hesitation, they immediately joined the battle group.

With the addition of more than 1,000 infantrymen, the already overwhelmed and heavy casualties of the Yue army collapsed in an instant, and it was already a matter of time before it was completely annihilated.

At the same time, on the east bank of the South Canal, Seishiro Itagaki was commanding his 1,000-strong division to storm the defensive positions of a battalion outside the airfield.

Itagaki Seishiro, an old devil, is worthy of being an old annihilator, and he took advantage of the fact that Liu Jianguo led the main force to pursue his own defeated troops, and led a thousand partial divisions to quietly cross the river in Niujiatun.

A sudden attack was launched on the position of the first battalion, and the guard platoon and the first company of the first battalion were almost completely killed and wounded in the previous battle, and the remaining two companies also paid a lot of casualties in the battle to block the division of the army.

Now it was suddenly attacked by more than 1,000 soldiers, and it gradually became a little unsupportable.

When the situation was extremely critical, Gao Zhihang led hundreds of pilots with self-defense pistols to rush out of the airport.

Joining the defensive position of the first battalion, the pistols were useless, so the pilots picked up the rifles of the fallen soldiers and fought back.

At the same time, some pilots also set up several antiaircraft machine guns in the airfield, followed the example of a regiment of officers and men, flattened them, and began to strafe the attacking crowd.

The anti-aircraft machine guns fired extremely fast, several of them fired at the same time, and the dense bullets suddenly rained down on the heads of the attacking devils.

Under the powerful fire of the anti-aircraft machine guns, the devil soldiers fell in pieces like wheat harvesting.

The defenders of the first battalion and most of the pilots also opened fire vigorously, and the offensive of the Japanese army was immediately frustrated.

It didn't take long for the army to withstand the huge cost of casualties and withdraw in a hurry.

Seeing the failure of the attack, Seishiro Itagaki was immediately furious, and ordered fiercely: "Yaga Yalu, use poison gas bombs!" Quickly. ”

More than a dozen devil artillerymen suddenly moved out several boxes of poison gas bombs and began to set up mortars.

In a short time, several mortars were fired one after another, and one after another poison gas shells fell into the positions of a battalion with a whistling sound.

The poison spread silently in the night, and Gao Zhihang immediately covered his nose and reminded loudly: "It's not good, it's a gas bomb, put on a gas mask." ”

As early as when Zhang Xinghan was preparing to use the poison gas bombs from the Shenyang Arsenal, all units of the city defense army received gas masks.

But as an air force unit, Gao Zhihang and the pilots were not equipped with gas masks.

When the situation was extremely critical, the commander of the first battalion and the second company found Gao Zhihang: "Sir, you don't have gas masks, quickly withdraw to the back." ”

"We withdrew, you can't stop the devil's attack." Gao Zhihang is not stupid, on the contrary, his mind is very clear at the moment, and he did not shout any slogan that I resolutely do not drive.

"The third regiment is in the city, you withdraw to the airport, call the third regiment immediately, ask for reinforcements, and then use anti-aircraft machine guns to give us fire support, we should be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive." The second company commander said.

Seeing that Gao Zhihang was still a little hesitant, the commander of the second company immediately urged: "Sir, don't hesitate, you are the Air Force, it is not easy to train an Air Force, if you have three long and two short, our plane will become a ornament, hurry back, positional warfare is our army's business, your battlefield is in the sky, you can't just sacrifice like this." Come on! ”

Gao Zhihang glanced at the subordinates around who were choked by the poisonous gas and couldn't stop coughing, gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!" ”

…………………………

Sujiatun is the former enemy headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

An adjutant ran in in a panic and reported to Ishihara Waner: "Sir, it's not good, the main force of Chief Itagaki's attack on the airport has been defeated by the Shina people. ”

"What? Defeated? Ishihara was surprised in disbelief: "How is this possible? ”

"Sir, when my attacking troops retreated south along the South Canal and tried to get closer to our main force, a cavalry and armored unit of the Northeast Army suddenly appeared in the city, and our attacking troops were attacked on both sides, suffering heavy casualties, and the whole army could be wiped out at any time, the situation was extremely critical, please send reinforcements to the commander quickly." The adjutant said anxiously.

"Cavalry and armored units?" Ishihara frowned, and immediately said: "Immediately order the second cavalry wing, the 15th infantry wing of the 16th brigade, to attack quickly and rescue the main force of the Itagaki Division." ”

"Hay!" The devil adjutant suddenly bowed his head in response, and then turned around and walked away quickly.

Itagaki Seishiro's 3,000 men consisted of two Reading Brigades and the 29th Infantry Wing, with the exception of a partial division (a Reading Brigade) left behind by Itagaki.

The rest of the main force was mainly the 2nd Infantry Wing of the 3rd Brigade of the 29th Division, and in the previous battle, the 29th Infantry Wing suffered heavy losses, and finally replenished a group of troops and restored its combat effectiveness.

This attack on the airfield failed miserably, and now under the joint siege of Zhang Xinghan and Liu Jianguo, the entire army was almost wiped out.

Fortunately, when the new wing commander of the 29th Infantry Wing, Yasuhei Higashiguchi, was about to commit suicide, reinforcements from the 2nd Cavalry Wing directly under the division were the first to kill.

In the light of the fire, more than 1,000 cavalry of the Yue army swarmed in, Zhang Xinghan's face changed greatly when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the armored company to step forward to meet the attack, and at the same time led the cavalry company to start re-arranging to meet the enemy.

With the addition of cavalry, hundreds of remnants of the 29th Infantry Wing were able to retreat in one piece.

Twelve Renault tanks and ten armored vehicles collided head-on with the Devil Cavalry Wing.

The roar of their on-board machine guns was greeted as the devil cavalry rushed to tanks and armored vehicles on tall horses, brandishing sabers.

"Da da da ......" tongues of fire erupted from the muzzle of the machine gun, and the devil cavalry suddenly fell off their horses in pieces.

What's more, the devil cavalry who rushed to the front were even beaten into a hornet's nest with men and horses.

The 37mm tank guns of the Renault tank also fired one after another, and the high-explosive shells fell into the group of devil cavalry, bursting out with amazing lethality, and the raging shrapnel center blossomed like a flower to knock down the surrounding devil cavalry with a group of men and horses.

Due to the continuous shooting of their own cavalry, the horses lost control and trampled and collided with each other.

The dash of the devil cavalry came to an end, but the twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles did not stop, and the machine guns and tank guns formed a terrifying fire blockade.

At the same time, a group of light machine gunners opened fire, and the riflemen followed suit.

The bullets enveloped the devil cavalry like rain for a while, and in just over ten minutes, more than 1,000 devil cavalry suffered two or three hundred casualties.

The rest were also in chaos, and at this moment, the cavalry company led by Zhang Xinghan had already completed the formation and assembly.

With the wave of Zhang Xinghan's blood-stained sword, more than 100 cavalrymen lined up and launched a surprise attack with Zhang Xinghan's fearless cavalry.

Twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles were the first to charge ahead, and their vehicle-mounted machine guns fired wildly at the Japanese army.

"Kill!" Zhang Xinghan led the cavalry from both wings to the cavalry of the Yue Army, which was in chaos, and a ghost cavalry was slashed and fell from his horse.

The quality of the devil cavalry is not as good as the cavalry of the Northeast Army, and with the existence of the armored company, a cavalry nemesis unit, the devil cavalry is unable to organize a decent counterattack regardless of the tail.

Until Zhang Xinghan led the surviving cavalry to come out of the battle again, more than 1,000 devil cavalry had suffered more than half of the casualties, and finally fled.

Zhang Xinghan did not hesitate at all, waved his war knife forward, and shouted: "Chase me!" ”

"Kill!" The surviving more than 80 cavalrymen of the Northeast Army swore to follow each other, roared fiercely, brandished their sabers, and followed Zhang Xinghan to start the pursuit.

Twenty-two tanks and armored vehicles also followed and assaulted forward, and Liu Jianguo also led a regiment and a garrison battalion to pursue again.
