Chapter 81: The Rain Finally Stops

Chanting exciting and enthusiastic slogans, 6,000 recruits left the field in batches, and a regiment went to Sujiatun to replace Liu Guodong's regiment, which had suffered heavy losses.

A regiment rushed to the east gate to set up defenses along the west bank of the South Canal, in case the army smuggled across the South Canal again and launched a sneak attack.

One regiment went to the main position outside the south gate to serve as a reserve.

At the same time, Zhang Xinghan transferred the Second Regiment from Sujiatun to the west of Shenyang City.

Wang Yicai's third regiment held the second line of defense on the west bank of the Hunhe River, Liu Jianguo's regiment and two battalions remained in Shenyang City, and the other battalion was all transferred to Beiling Airport.

When the garrison brigade was busy with all this, the sky was already bright, both sides were burying pots and cooking, and in the forward position of Sujiatun, both sides could even see the smoke floating behind the other party's position.

The Yue army, which thought that it was in danger of victory, did not rush to launch an attack, which gave the officers and soldiers of the first regiment of recruits stationed in Sujiatun a valuable buffer opportunity.

And Zang Shiyi did not disappoint Zhang Xinghan, he equipped most of the officers and soldiers of the garrison brigade with basic individual items such as raincoats, and organized the people in the city to help the garrison brigade repair the defensive positions in the south canal and the west of Shenyang.

Outside the compound of the headquarters in the city, Zhang Xinghan dragged his tired body out of the jeep, and in a trance, he suddenly looked up and realized that something seemed to be missing.

"Brigade, what's wrong?" Shen Xingye, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked with concern when he saw this.

Zhang Xinghan stretched out his hands to look up at the sky that had gradually cleared, and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, the rain has stopped, the rain has finally stopped, hahaha!" ”

"Shen Yizhi!" Zhang Xinghan suddenly stopped laughing wildly and shouted coldly.

"Humble duty!" Shen Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward to respond.

"Pass my order that the artillery battalion immediately concentrate all the poison gas bombs in storage, and if the army attacks again, immediately block them with poison gas bombs." Zhang Xinghan ordered in a cold voice.

In last night's scuffle, although the artillery battalion lost a lot of equipment, especially the artillery company directly under the Second Regiment, which was completely wiped out, Zhang Xinghan transferred to support the Sujiatun artillery battalion did not suffer much losses, and they escaped in time.

For Zhang Xinghan, it doesn't matter if the weapons and equipment are lost, as long as the people are still there, he can immediately make up for all the lost equipment for them.

Not to mention that his watch can produce weapons and ammunition on a large scale, even the artillery hoarded in the Shenyang Arsenal is enough to equip several artillery battalions.

"Yes!" Shen Xingye received the order and wanted to leave.

Zhang Xinghan waved his hand and stopped him: "Also, inform Gao Zhihang to prepare for battle immediately, the army mistakenly thinks that our air force is completely annihilated, and the next battle will be full of bombing and air attacks on our defensive positions, and the air force can take advantage of the situation to attack, and it will be able to catch the army by surprise." ”

"Yes." Shen Xingye suddenly agreed, turned around and left.

September 30, 8 a.m.

As the superintendent and commander-in-chief of this operation, Seishiro Itagaki issued an order to attack Sujiatun at the same time by telegram to the 6th, 2nd, and 20th divisions in Liaoyang.

At the same time, he sent dozens of bombers and warplanes to Shenyang to assist the ground forces in the attack.

At 8:30 a.m., the enemy's 6th Division in front of Sujiatun concentrated about a wing of troops, and under the cover of artillery fire, launched another fierce attack on Sujiatun.

At the same time, the main force of the 2nd Division also began to force its way across the South Canal in the direction of Niujiatun, and the 2nd Regiment of the Recruits of the West Bank Garrison Brigade fought back.

A brigade of the 20th Division was left in the direction of Sujiatun to assist the 6th Division in the attack.

Itagaki Seishiro relied on his own side to occupy absolute air superiority, mastered air supremacy, and made up his mind to take Sujiatun first, and then encircle Shenyang.

He wanted to be ashamed, defeat Zhang Xinghan, who humiliated him, step by step, completely defeat him, and completely conquer Shenyang, a city that has not dared to surrender and surrender for a long time.

Therefore, before Sujiatun was not taken and the defense line of the South Canal was not broken, the 20th Division had to temporarily serve as a reserve force.

First of all, the 6th Division, which had suffered enough last night, but the attack of the 6th Division was quickly repulsed.

It was not that the combat effectiveness of the first regiment of recruits was stronger than that of Liu Guodong's regiment, but that the artillery battalion that rushed to help in the battle fired a large number of poison gas bombs at the attacking army.

The entire battlefield was filled with poisonous gas, and the army that was caught off guard suffered heavy losses, and the first wave of attacks was directly declared a failure.

Annoyed, Masaemon Sakamoto ordered the logistics department to distribute gas masks to front-line combat units, while urging the air force to rush to support.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, an air raid group composed of about 20 bombers and more than 10 fighters flew over Sujiatun.

Immediately carried out a frantic dive strafing and bombing of the positions of the Sujiatun garrison brigade.

The entire Sujiatun was soon plunged into a sea of fire, and the casualties of the soldiers increased greatly.

However, the bomber group of the Yue army did not show off its might for long, and suddenly there was a piercing engine roar from the northern suburbs of Shenyang.

The soldiers and civilians in Shenyang looked up and saw brand-new fighter planes rising one after another over the northern suburbs.

There were dozens of them, and then under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of Shenyang soldiers and civilians, they flew towards Sujiatun in the southeast of the city.

"Captain, I'm feeling so good, this is a real fighter!" Liu Cuigang, the captain of the first high-altitude detachment, was driving a brand-new BF109 fighter and said very excitedly.

"Yes, it's very powerful, and it flies far faster than our Gorond." Gao Zhihang was also very excited,

"Okay, it's time for the little devil to taste our awesomeness, target Sujiatun, attack freely!"

"Received ......"

"Received......" The wireless communicator echoed the responses of dozens of pilots.

"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh...... "Fighter planes flew over Shenyang.

The BF109 has a maximum speed of nearly 700 kilometers per hour, and it takes off from Beiling Airport to Sujiatun, which seems to take only the blink of an eye for pilots such as Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang.

They then discovered a group of military planes that were wantonly bombing and strafing their own positions in Sujiatun.

Without the slightest pause, under the leadership of Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang, dozens of pilots drove the fighter plane towards the plane.

The BF109 of the "Da ......" twin guns fired one after another, and the dense rain of bullets soon killed several unprepared planes in the air.

The devil pilots were taken aback, and they all desperately pulled up and turned around to meet the enemy.

However, the BF109 is far superior to the aircraft at this time in terms of speed, firepower, and armor defense capabilities.

Moreover, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang were taken by surprise again, so no less than five planes were directly shot down in just one shot.

The other planes were also bitten by the fighters of the Northeast Army, and because of the disadvantage in speed, they could not get rid of it at all, and they were soon hit one by one, and fell from the air with black smoke.
