Under Zhang Xinghan's order, when the Northeast Army Air Force had not yet taken off, the 75 Field Artillery Group of the Yue Army took the lead in firing at the defensive position of a regiment because it received an order from Itagaki Seishiro.

Under the fire of the Japanese army, some machine gun positions that had been locked in advance by the Japanese artillery were destroyed, and the machine gunners died heroically, and the scene was full of fire.

At the head of the city, Zhang Xinghan saw all this through a telescope, he didn't show too much sadness, war has its iron laws, it is impossible to only kill the enemy without sacrifice.

Regarding the transfer of his own exposed firepower in advance, Zhang Xinghan did not expect this, but it is easy to say, but how can it be so simple to really implement?

First of all, the machine-gun positions and bunkers were selected and constructed in advance according to the entire defensive position, and if they were to be transferred because of the artillery bombardment of the Japanese army, it would obviously be too late to wait for the artillery fire of the Japanese army to stop and then come back.

Because when the artillery fire of the Yue army began to extend, the infantry units of the Yue army had already begun to charge, and at this time, the machine gunners carried back the machine guns weighing nearly 100 pounds and the ammunition boxes that were not counted, and it was obviously too late to repair the destroyed positions and bunkers and set up machine guns.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and how can it be so easy to transfer heavy machine gun positions as written in some online novels? Move your mouth and then transfer.

Moreover, Zhang Xinghan always believed that this kind of embarrassing dodge with little effect was simply a palliative rather than a cure, because the machine gunners who left the fortified bunkers in the process of evasion were more likely to be hit by raging shrapnel and cold bullets.

The only way to remove the threat of the devil's artillery to their own firepower points is to take root and kill their artillery positions, destroy all the artillery, and kill all their artillery.

In fact, that's what Zhang Xinghan intended.

You must know that artillery is no better than others, for this resource-poor island country, steel and other strategic materials are almost all imported, and every time a devil is killed, he has to import a ton of steel from the West, and spend a lot of manpower and material resources to re-produce it to supplement the front-line war losses.

And from the homeland to China thousands of miles away, it is an overnight thing to want to transport artillery to the battlefield in Chinese mainland.

Therefore, as long as the Northeast Army Air Force is dispatched as a big killer weapon, and most of the artillery of the Yue Army outside the city is killed, so that Yue himself has no artillery to use, then in the next battle, the Northeast Army will have the advantage, and it is no longer a fool's dream to defeat it by itself.

At the time of the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, the air force was the inherent absolute superiority of the Northeast Army, but Zhang Xiaoliu did not resist, making them the trophies of the army, and they failed to give full play to their due power and mission in the slightest.

Correspondingly, the Kwantung Army basically had no air force at this time, except for a few reconnaissance planes at the Lushun Headquarters.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the air force of the Northeast Army will have absolute air supremacy.

This is also the original intention of why Zhang Xinghan ordered someone to contact Gao Zhihang as soon as he entered Shenyang City.

Gao Zhihang was an excellent pilot and commander of the Air Force, and Zhang Xiaoliu's placement of air force fighters would become one of the most important forces to defeat the Kwantung Army, which was even more important.

Standing in the bunker of the forward observation post, Seishiro Itagaki was slightly excited to enjoy the excellent performance of his artillery unit through the binoculars, looking at the Northeast Army soldiers who were blown up in the light of the fire and killed on the spot, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer smugly.

The despicable people of China dare to resist the powerful Imperial Army of the Great Emperor, and this is the end.

However, Itagaki Seishiro's pride didn't last long when a familiar and piercing roar suddenly sounded in the sky.

Seishiro Itagaki changed color when he heard this, as a professional soldier, he clearly heard the piercing roar just now, it was nothing else, but the sound of an aircraft engine.

Judging by the density of sound waves, this is by no means one or two aircraft, but an unknown number of mixed fleets.

"What's going on? Where are the fighters? Because the bombing group led by Gao Zhihang flew extremely fast, almost instantaneously skimming through the air, and Itagaki Seishiro was in a low and hidden bunker, because of the perspective, he couldn't see which direction the fighter group was flying from, and turned around loudly in horror and asked.

Soon, the guards outside the bunker replied in horror: "Chief, sir, no, it's a group of fighters of the Chinese people, it's, they are flying in the direction of the artillery position......"

Before the guard's words fell, Gao Zhihang, who had already flown to the destination and discovered the target, gave the order to attack, and he drove the fighter plane to dive down to the artillery position of the Japanese army first, and the on-board machine gun landed and opened fire.

The powerful course-bound machine gun bullets of the "Tutu Tutu Tu ......" suddenly poured down from under the fuselage like a shower, and the artillery position, which had already fallen into a panic, suddenly heard a terrible howl, and several devil artillery and ammunition men could not dodge, were tragically hit, and fell in a pool of blood.

The two wingmen of Gao Zhihang's plane followed closely behind, and almost simultaneously swooped down from high altitude in a triangle with Gao Zhihang's fighter plane, flying at a low altitude over the position of the Yue army, and the machine guns on board opened fire one after another, and the bullets whistled and fell towards the Yue army like rain.

Other fighter pilots followed suit, and for a while, bullets rained down in the sky, and the artillery of the Japanese army fled in a hurry, and people kept falling down after being shot, and blood soon stained the earth.

However, the more violent blows continued, and as soon as the dive-low strafing of more than a dozen fighters ended, more than 20 light and heavy bombers arrived as scheduled, the bomb magazines were opened one after another, and one after another heavy and high-explosive aerial bombs fell out of the belly of the plane like meteorites and began to fall vertically with a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

Wherever the "boom ......boom and boom" bomber group passed, a huge explosion suddenly occurred, and thick smoke rose from the flames, enveloping the entire artillery position of the Japanese army.

The violent explosion detonated the remaining shells of the Japanese army, thus triggering an even more violent explosion, and a huge red light rose into the sky accompanied by thick smoke, which could be clearly seen for more than ten miles from far and near.

In this violent explosion, many devil artillerymen on the artillery positions of the Japanese army were blown to pieces without even screaming, and the powerful artillery that they were proud of was also bombarded into piles of broken iron.

About two kilometers away, Seishiro Itagaki, who had just stepped out of the forward bunker, happened to witness this scene, and when he saw the huge fire and smoke that rose into the sky, Seishiro Itagaki had a pair of rat eyes full of shock, and his face was full of incredulity.

He didn't expect that with Zhang Xueliang's order not to resist, the air force of the Northeast Army would dare to take off fighters and openly carry out such a fierce air attack on the imperial army.

"It's over, the 2nd Field Artillery Wing is over." The telescope in Seishiro Itagaki quietly landed, and his mood at the moment could be described as full of remorse.

Because they had figured out in advance the attitude of Zhang Xueliang and even the entire national political axe, when the 918 Incident was launched, Seishiro Itagaki and Ishihara Waner were somewhat underestimated.

It was not until the plan to attack Beidaying and seize Shenyang failed that they could be regarded as attaching great importance to the next combat operation against Shenyang.

And when he learned that Wang Yizhe was ordered to lead the last main force of Shenyang City, the Seventh Brigade of Reading Li, to evacuate, and his own troops had captured most of the towns along the South Manchurian Railway, this degree of attention declined.

Even though they knew that there was still a resistance force left behind by Huang Xiansheng in the city, they didn't think it was a cause for concern.

On the premise that Zhang Xueliang and the Northeast Army did not resist, they ignored that as the only air force of the Northeast Army, the air force stationed at the Shenyang Airport would flagrantly disobey orders and rise up to attack the Imperial Army.

Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara really didn't expect this, because their attention was more focused on how to destroy the only resistance force in front of them, so as to capture the prosperous city of Shenyang and occupy the Shenyang Arsenal, which has the largest Krupp arsenal in the Far East.

Annoyed that the artillery unit had been destroyed and the attack could only be postponed, Seishiro Itagaki gave the order to his adjutant to suspend the attack, and he was going to Ishihara to discuss countermeasures, because he had realized that the battle of Shenyang might not be as easy as they imagined.

Itagaki Seishiro ordered a postponement of the attack, which did not mean that Zhang Xinghan would stop there.

When he saw that Gao Zhihang led the air force to complete the task and bombed and dive-strafed the sortie positions of the Yue army, Zhang Xinghan immediately picked up the phone and ordered the artillery units that had already been prepared: "Give me the artillery immediately, all the artillery will fire ten rounds rapidly, and the target will be the army's sortie position." ”

After putting down the phone, Zhang Xinghan called the regiment headquarters again.

"Hey, Commander Liu, the artillery positions of the Yue army have been destroyed by our air force, it's time to let the little devils taste our power, after the ten rapid fire of the artillery, a regiment will immediately attack on all fronts, launch an attack on the position of Yue himself, and be sure to seize their sortie position!" The phone was connected, and Zhang Xinghan pointed into the microphone and got straight to the point.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jianguo was stunned at first, and then said excitedly: "Please rest assured, Jianguo will take the lead and launch a decisive attack on Yuekou." ”

Zhang Xinghan did not speak, and at this time, the artillery deployed in the city had already opened fire one after another.

Fengtian City had already begun to be enveloped in the sound of cannons, looking at the dazzling fire balls dragging a long tail flame through the sky and flying out of the city, Zhang Xinghan hung up the phone.

Zhang Xinghan's 3rd Battalion had already brought back six 75mm Krupp field guns from the Beida Battalion, and after arriving in Shenyang, Huang Xiansheng's military and police units also had several mountain artillery field guns, and the original Zhang Xueliang Guard Battalion also had a machine gun company, equipped with six mortars, in addition to the fact that there were no less than 1,000 artillery pieces of various kinds in the Shenyang Arsenal.

Among them, there are hundreds of mountain artillery and field artillery, and hundreds of mortars, but because of the limited number of artillery that can fire.

Zhang Xinghan could only set up an artillery battalion first, with a total of 20 75mm field guns, 16 92-type infantry guns, and more than 30 mortars.

Dozens of mountain artillery and field artillery opened fire one after another, and one shell after another, under the influence of the dazzling firelight, dragged the tail flame, which was two or three meters long, like a meteor, pierced the sky like a meteor, and smashed down fiercely towards the attack position of the Japanese army.
