Under the blazing white light of the flares, the entire Qinglong Mountain battlefield was as bright as day, and the captains and subordinates of the main island who were participating in the attack were suddenly exposed.

Liu Zhenhu, commander of the second battalion of the 702nd Regiment, personally fired a general-purpose machine gun at the captain of the island and others.

A dense rain of bullets poured in a fan-shape, and the sound of bullets hitting rocks and ice sounded one after another around Captain Motoshima.

A soldier who was less than 10 meters away from the captain of the island was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot.

The captain of the island was very alert and crawled into a crater, lying dead in the crater, not daring to raise his head at all.

I just felt bullets whizzing over the craters.

Captain Motoshima is alert, which does not mean that his subordinates are as lucky as him to hide in the crater in time.

With the help of flares, the sight of the soldiers of the Reading Division was wide open, the accuracy of machine gun and rifle shooting was greatly improved, and under the intensive fire, the soldiers who were crawling and attacking were shot one after another, lying on the ground and turned into corpses.

It didn't take long for the army to retreat like a tide because it could not bear the increasing casualties.

………………………… At the same time as the fierce battle at Qinglong Mountain was in full swing, Zhang Xinghan led the assault troops to bypass Shenyang and Fushun, and crossed the Hunhe River from the area of Salhu Mountain in the southeast of Fushun (near the Dahuofang Reservoir in Fushun today, that is, the site of the Salhu Battle).

After crossing the Hunhe River in the south, Zhang Xinghan immediately led his troops westward along the Hunhe River, and took advantage of the strong mobility of the troops to march nearly 140 kilometers day and night, and arrived near the east of Sujiatun in the early morning of the 1st.

At this time, the people east of Sujiatun and south of the Hunhe River, including Niujiatun, had already withdrawn to Tongliao with the Reading Division, and there were no people within a hundred miles, but it provided an opportunity for Zhang Xinghan's assault troops to sneak in.

Until he led his troops to the eastern suburbs of Sujiatun, his whereabouts were never discovered by himself.

Not to mention the 14th and 9th divisions on the north bank of the Hunhe River and the 1st, 5th, and 9th divisions that are attacking Tongliao, there are still integrated divisions of the 2nd Division stationed in Anshan, Liaoyang and Lighthouse south of Sujiatun.

Dalian even has the 2nd, 6th, and 20th divisions, although they suffered defeats, but after such a long period of rest and recuperation, their morale has recovered, and once something happens to Sujiatun, they can quickly form a division and go north to reinforce.

Under such circumstances, a squadron of the army stationed in Sujiatun would never have thought that a squadron would suddenly appear.

In order to delay the time when the army knew about the attack on Sujiatun and delay it as much as possible until dawn so that the air force could be called on to destroy the Hunhe Railway Bridge, Zhang Xinghan did not launch a strong attack, but first asked the reconnaissance company to cut off the telephone line between Sujiatun Station and Shenyang and the lighthouse.

Immediately, Shen Xingye took the reconnaissance company and some of the guards battalion to quietly touch Sujiatun Station.

Due to the freezing weather, the more than 100 defenders of Sujiatun hid in the station barracks and slept except for the necessary ten sentinels.

In order to avoid the outbreak of gunfire and alarm the army in the direction of Shenyang and the lighthouse, Zhang Xinghan instructed Shen Xingye and several reconnaissance company soldiers to quietly kill more than a dozen vigilant devils.

Then he directly used poison gas bombs to send all the more than 100 sleeping devils to meet their Amaterasu, and almost bloodlessly captured Sujiatun Station.

In fact, it is not that the army is incompetent, but that Zhang Xinghan and their appearance is too unexpected, and the army is not mentally prepared at all, and the vigilance is completely relaxed.

In addition, the reconnaissance company is all good at kung fu, and they are unprepared with mental calculations, so they easily took off the devil's guard post.

Eventually, they were gassed.

After quietly capturing Sujiatun, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered each battalion and company of the 701st Regiment to be stationed in their positions.

Fortunately, at this time, the defensive positions and fortifications built by the original Shenyang garrison brigade in Sujiatun were still intact.

It greatly saved the officers and men of the 701st Regiment.

In terms of troop deployment, Zhang Xinghan deployed the strength of two battalions of the 701st Regiment to the south, and one battalion to the north to guard.

As for the 14th Division in Shenyang and the 9th Division in Zhangwu, there were air force patrols and bombing along the river during the day, and it was impossible for them to build pontoon bridges to cross the Hunhe River on a large scale.

As for the cavalry regiment and armored company, especially the cavalry regiment, they were withdrawn by Zhang Xinghan to Sujiatun and immediately rested on the spot, because he still had extremely important tasks to be handed over to the cavalry regiment next.

The waiting room of Sujiatun Station has become Zhang Xinghan's temporary headquarters at this moment.

After dozens of days, Zhang Xinghan sighed when he returned to Sujiatun, but this time he will face a more severe situation than the last time.

If this is not done, the strategic plan of defeating the five divisions and regiments north of the Hunhe River and east of the West Liao River will be in vain.

If it succeeds, then the entire situation in the northeast will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes, and even if the next few divisions of the army arrive, they will definitely not be able to fight again in a short time.

Therefore, the battle of Sujiatun will be directly related to the future trend of the situation in the northeast region.

As a traverser, backed by unlimited ammunition and weapons, Zhang Xinghan never thought of just sitting back and watching himself capture the entire Northeast, nor did he ever think of waiting for himself to gain a foothold in the Northeast and launch a full-scale war of aggression against China before fighting with him.

Therefore, even if he didn't take the initiative to attack the Reading Division this time, Zhang Xinghan would have mobilized his troops as much as possible to take the initiative to attack the Yue Army.

Of course, there is another important reason why Zhang Xinghan dared to risk being besieged and led his troops to attack Sujiatun for hundreds of miles.

That's the infinite production of your watch game, and if you want to get more and more advanced weapons and equipment, you must have enough kill points.

At present, in the Northeast, the only option for the Reading Force is to invade the Chinese army, which is calculated by killing a person to get 10 kill points.

If this strategic goal can be achieved, you can get at least 300,000 to 500,000 kills.

In this way, he can at least equip his troops with a batch of more advanced fighters or tanks.

In modern air combat, the cross-era superiority of fighter aircraft will infinitely widen the gap between the strength of the enemy and us in actual combat.

For example, in the pre-World War II period, the speed of fighter planes and the equipment on board were very backward, and the air combat between the two sides was basically close combat.

As the older and more advanced instruments are loaded, the speed of the fighters becomes faster and faster, and the close-range combat between the fighters will gradually evolve into over-the-horizon battles.

Therefore, in modern air combat, the more advanced the fighter can be, the more it can achieve quality over quantity.

At present, he lacks a sufficient number of pilots, and even more lacks a complete and abundant reserve pilot, so every pilot, especially the veteran pilots with combat experience, is extremely precious.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan could not wait to obtain more advanced fighters, and only by equipping the Air Force with more advanced fighters could the Reading Force continue to maintain air superiority in Northeast Asia.

With air superiority, it will be able to greatly compensate for the inferiority in troops.

It can also greatly limit any combat actions of the enemy.

The radio station was quickly set up, and Zhang Xinghan immediately sent telegram orders to Gao Zhihang, Zhao Zhenfan, and Huang Xiansheng.

They were informed of the purpose of their next operation, and ordered the Air Force to take off at dawn to bomb and destroy the Hunhe Bridge.

A few hours passed quickly, and as soon as the sky was dawning, Zhang Xinghan was awakened by the sound of an airplane engine.

Hurriedly walked out of the command headquarters, only to see that over the Hunhe Bridge north of the station, more than a dozen of their own fighters were covering about four or five Stuka to attack the Hunhe Bridge.

With the sudden arrival of the Air Force of the Reading Division, a small group of troops guarding the north bank of the Hunhe River was completely unprepared, and under the dive strafing of one Zero fighter plane, they were powerless to fight back, and they were quickly killed and wounded.

The accurate bombing surnames of the Stuka dive bombers can be fully reflected in this moment.

One after another, the bombs landed on the Hunhe Railway Bridge accurately, and the huge explosion immediately broke the bridge, and the subsequent explosion brought the damage to the extreme.

Rails and gravel were flying everywhere, and sections of rails and huge rocks rolled into the already thin ice of the river, easily breaking through the ice and falling to the icy bottom.

The loud explosion of the Hunhe Bridge soon alarmed the headquarters of the two master regiments of the Japanese army in Shenyang and Liaoyang.

For convenience, the staff officer of the 12th Division Headquarters in Liaoyang called Sujiatun, intending to ask the Sujiatun garrison squadron to see what was going on.

However, it was found that the phone could not be reached at all, and the 14th Division in the direction of Shenyang could not contact Sujiatun, but the 14th Division had already learned that it was the Chinese Air Force that attacked the Hunhe Bridge.

Due to the inability to contact Sujiatun, it was directly impossible to get in touch with the 12th Division in Liaoyang by phone.

In the end, the headquarters of the two divisions still made contact by radio, and the headquarters of the 12th division ordered a wing stationed at the lighthouse to send troops to Sujiatun to reconnoiter and see what was going on there.

The lighthouse army sent a team to take a locomotive in the direction of Sujiatun.

The soldiers of Shen Xingye's reconnaissance company immediately reported this information to Zhang Xinghan.

When Zhang Xinghan learned of this, he immediately ordered the scouts of the reconnaissance company to blow up the railroad in the rear after the locomotive of the Yue army squad passed, cutting off the retreat of the Yue army squad.

He immediately ordered Li Zhenyuan to lead the armored company to make a decisive attack and use tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns to wipe out all the troops on the locomotive.

After the lighthouse army found out that the team sent out had not heard from them for a long time, they finally couldn't hold their breath and sent an infantry brigade along the railway to Sujiatun quickly.

Halfway through the march, the brigade discovered a railroad that had been sabotaged by the Scouts of the Reading Division.

Taken aback, the army immediately reported this abnormal information to the wing headquarters.
