The Shenyang Airport of the Northeast Army is located in the middle of the Tanglin South Canal and is called Dongta Airport.

Dongta Airport is located in the southeast of Shenyang, because there is the South Canal block, if the army wants to attack, in addition to forcibly crossing the canal, it is to bypass from the south of Shenyang.

The bypass attack from the south of Shenyang was obviously not in line with the original intention of the army to fight a quick battle, and it might also expose the target and be intercepted by the defenders of Shenyang.

Therefore, Itagaki Seishiro chose the route to force the crossing of the South Canal, and in order to take the East Tower Airport in one fell swoop, Itagaki Seishiro dispatched 3,000 elite soldiers this time and equipped them with a large number of poison gas bombs.

Unlike the attack on Shenyang in the afternoon, although the attack on Shenyang Itagaki Seishiro mobilized more than 6,000 people, in addition to the artillery troops, it was necessary to divide troops to feint and attack all other gates except the south gate, so the strength used for a frontal attack was two or three thousand.

And attacking the East Tower Airport Itagaki Seishiro can concentrate his forces in one place and attack with all his might, so it is more than enough for 3,000 elite troops to attack the airport.

Taking advantage of the night, Itagaki Seishiro personally led the troops to the east bank of the South Canal, looking at the calm river that was not too wide, Itagaki Seishiro waved his hand and ordered the troops to prepare to cross the river, and soon more than 3,000 troops began to be busy.

The Dongta Airport has the South Canal, a river that is naturally dangerous, and the garrison battalion of the Dongta Airport naturally cannot but make good use of it, and this operational concept has been determined as early as when the construction of the airport is completed.

Therefore, the airport garrison battalion had already built a field defensive position along the river, and before the arrival of Itagaki Seishiro's troops, Liu Jianguo had already led a regiment to the airport and quickly took over the defense of the airport, including the riverside positions outside the airport.

Although Itagaki Seishiro's headquarters had been very careful and did not even shoot torches, it was not so easy for more than 3,000 people to repair their positions and prepare equipment for crossing the river so easily and covertly, and their movements were soon discovered by the sentries of the Northeast Army on the opposite bank.

The sentry did not make a statement, but quickly reported the information to Liu Jianguo.

Inside the airfield, inside the temporary headquarters of a regiment.

Regiment Commander Liu Jianguo was arranging combat missions for several battalion and company commanders, including the former commander of the airport garrison battalion, when a soldier suddenly walked in and reported to him: "Tuanza, traces of the Yue army have been found on the other side of the river, and they seem to be preparing to cross the river. ”

"It's really fucking here, and the artillery is ordered to immediately shell the opposite bank." Liu Jianguo said unhurriedly.

"Yes!" The soldier saluted and took the order.

Liu Jianguo ordered Gao Chu, the former commander of the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company of the 620th Regiment and the current commander of the 1st Regiment and 1st Battalion Commander beside him: "Old Gao, you go back immediately, the 1st Battalion will be nailed to the west bank for me like a nail, as long as it survives tonight, as soon as the day dawns, our Air Force will be able to take off and bomb, and then the little devil will be fucking all the shit, and it will be too late to run!" ”

"Yes!" In the face of his old boss, Gao Chu sincerely admired, although he was the slowest among the company commanders of the original 3rd Battalion, he had no complaints, because his first battalion was the old foundation of the original 3rd Battalion, and the most elite heroic troops in the first regiment and even the entire Shenyang City, that is, they wiped out more than 500 troops in one fell swoop in the Beida Battalion last night, and relieved the siege of Shenyang.

......A series of muffled sounds of cannon ejection sounded, and the eight Krupp 75 mountain guns deployed in the airport opened fire one after another, and one shell after another turned into a brilliant and dazzling ball of fire in the dark night and flew quickly towards the east bank of the South Canal.

Looking at the artillery fire that suddenly fell from the sky, he was waiting for the troops to rush to repair the position, preparing to cross the river equipment Itagaki Seishiro was shocked, and after scolding the bastard, he lay on the ground in embarrassment.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" As soon as he was lying down, several shells came as promised, smashing down fiercely, and a violent explosion occurred.

"Bagaya Road, despicable Shina people, the artillery immediately returns fire!" Seishiro Itagaki, who was smoky and covered in ash and dirt, suddenly roared in anger.

However, his roar was drowned out by the sound of violent explosions that rang out one after another, and the other devil soldiers panicked to dodge, and no one heard his orders, let alone carry them out.

It wasn't until the gap between the second round of artillery bombardment of the Northeast Army that an adjutant heard his roar, and then he ran over at the risk of death: "Sir, what instructions do you have?" ”

"Order the artillery to immediately return fire, return fire!" Itagaki Seishiro was really angry, the dignified Imperial Army of the Empire was repeatedly hit by artillery fire by the despicable and small Northeast Army, which was simply unacceptable to him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the adjutant's face suddenly became ugly, and he said embarrassedly: "Sir, have you forgotten that our large-caliber mountain artillery and infantry artillery were destroyed by the Zhina people, and the only remaining artillery pieces were left in Sujiatun to be used to attack Shenyang City, and the only 60mm mortars we carried with the army were there." ”

"So what? A 60mm mortar group can still fight back, right? Seishiro Itagaki said without thinking in a hurry.

At this moment, the second round of artillery fire from the Northeast Army arrived as scheduled, and this time the explosion was even worse than the first, and there were fires and flying debris everywhere.

Seishiro Itagaki and the adjutant ducked their heads, and the adjutant explained: "Sir, it is not difficult to judge from the power and ballistics of the artillery of the Shina people that they are using the Krupp 75 field artillery group, and their artillery positions have exceeded the effective range of our 60 mortars, so we cannot suppress them." ”

"Yaga Yalu!" Hearing this, Seishiro Itagaki suddenly burst out, "Do you know that if this continues, we will not be able to capture the East Tower airfield before dawn, and once dawn, we will face the threat of air raids by the Northeast Army Air Force, and by then, the situation will be even worse!" ”

"Sir, the top priority at the moment is to evacuate as soon as possible, the people of China are already prepared, and it will be difficult for us to capture the Dongta airfield without strong artillery support." The adjutant suggested urgently.

"Retreat?" Seishiro Itagaki said with a gloomy face: "No, we can't retreat, we must attack, inform the troops, move two kilometers to the south, and where to force the river crossing." ”

"Two kilometers to the south? Where the river is panting, isn't it impossible to cross the river? The adjutant said.

"Bagaya Road, we can't cross the river here, hurry up and execute the order." Seishiro Itagaki roared angrily.

…………………………………………

At the same time, in response to Itagaki Seishiro's surprise attack, Ishihara Waner commanded the remaining thousands of troops to attack the south gate of Shenyang again.

The officers and men of the three regiments, under the command of regiment commander Wang Yicai, rose up to fight back, and fierce battles began again.

Lushun, known as the headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

Honjo looked at the telegram sent by Ishihara Waner with a surprised face, his own attacking troops failed one after another, this is incredible, the Northeast Army in Shenyang City dared to resist?

Surprised and surprised, Honjo Shigeru soon drafted an urgent telegram and handed it to the communications staff officer and quickly sent it to the base camp in Tokyo.

In his urgent telegram, in addition to requesting the headquarters of the War Department to send reinforcements to reinforce the Manchurian battlefield, he also requested the deployment of additional artillery and air force units.

Joke, the dignified Daisho Empire actually lost artillery suppression and air supremacy in the case of a war with the Northeast Army, which is a shame for the Imperial Army of the Daisho Honjo Empire, as the commander of the Kwantung Army, Honjo Shigeru absolutely could not bear it, and absolutely did not allow this situation to continue.

At the same time that Honzhuang Fan sent an urgent telegram to the base camp asking for help, the city defense headquarters in Shenyang City.

Zhang Xinghan also received an urgent telegram from Zhang Xiaoliu from Beiping, and was slightly surprised, Zhang Xinghan still opened the first telegram sent by Zhang Xiaoliu to himself.

The content of the telegram is as follows: "Brother Zixing Han, I was surprised to hear that Kou had brazenly provoked a war last night, and I was even more relieved to hear that Brother Xian and his soldiers led his soldiers to fight back at the critical juncture, and won a big victory.

Now, under the order of the central government in Nanjing, in order to avoid the expansion of the situation and trigger a full-scale war between China and the two countries, I have made the officers and soldiers in the northeast of China take an attitude of non-resistance.

Therefore, for the sake of the overall strategic situation, Han Qing hoped that the virtuous brother would lead his subordinates to withdraw from Shenyang immediately, not make unnecessary sacrifices, and wait for the adjustment of the League of Nations.

As for the loss of land in the northeast, Han Qing has a plan, he said that he must recover, do not worry about my brother, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the virtuous brother can save his surname and retreat to Jinzhou, when he says counterattack, Han Qing will be the vanguard, lead the male division to the north and say that Kou will fight a male and female, and recover the splendid mountains and rivers in my northeast, this is a hundred thousand urgent things, hope that the virtuous brother should not be hesitant, and quickly go south to Jinzhou and join forces with the seventh brigade and other departments of my reading force, and be stationed in Jinzhou! On the evening of September 20 in the 20th year of the Republic of China, Zhang Hanqing ......" in Beiping";
