Chapter 41 Shelling

Before the September 18 Incident, the Japanese army collected a large amount of intelligence, and according to the intelligence, the Northeast Army would adopt a strategy of restraint, so this risky move was based on the Kwantung Army's judgment that the Northeast Army would not resist, and the war preparations were not sufficient. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In addition to the serious shortage of infantry in the Kwantung Army, even, they were not supported by air power at all.

There is no doubt that air supremacy is especially important for war.

Historically, the Japanese army relied on air supremacy, coupled with the superiority of weapons, which indeed made the Chinese army suffer.

Now, it is different, the Mukden Volunteers are fighting at home, at least for now, they control the air supremacy in this area.

Although the Japanese army has combat planes in Dalian and the Korean Peninsula, the range is too long, even if it can fly to Mukden, not to mention whether it can fight, it is always necessary to consider whether it can return safely, right?

If the Japanese army wanted to control the air supremacy of Mukden, it had to build a new airfield close to Mukden before it could support the ground forces.

The question is, is it too late to build an airport?

This is clearly not sufficient, after all, airfields are not done by blowing a breath.

It was past noon, and the Japanese soldiers were all like monkeys, hungry and exhausted.

This morning's tossing is a personal work, lying down is not simply lying on the spot, you always have to run a few steps to find some ditches and bumps in the place to hide, right?

The nervousness of the Japanese soldiers, coupled with the rapid running, caused a great deal of physical exertion.

The hungry and somewhat weak Japanese soldiers didn't care about their dirty hands, so they took out the cold rice balls and stuffed them into their mouths, and the condition was quite miserable.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the 15th Brigade, the main force of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, finally arrived at Sujiatun, and the exhausted Japanese Kwantung officers and soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Roaring, I finally arrived in Mukden."

Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, commander of the 2nd Division, ordered Major General Rokuro Noda to arrange for his troops to set up camp and prepare for battle.

The headquarters of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army had to be established first, and soon the headquarters built in tents was completed, and the commanders of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, and Major General Rokuro Noda entered the headquarters.

The army arrived smoothly, and the commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Domonjiro, was to send a telegram to the Kwantung Army to report on the situation.

As soon as the telegram was sent, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, commander of the 2nd Division, and Major General Rokuro Noda sat down to rest, when suddenly, gunfire rang out from the front, apparently the vanguard and the volunteers exchanged fire.

"Report to the brigade commander that the search team found the enemy situation during the march and was blocked by the Northeast Army and suffered heavy casualties."

"Yanxi, do you know that army is blocking our Japanese army in Sujiatun?"

"Report to the brigade commander, the front blocking force is wearing police uniforms, and I think it is probably the Mukden police, the number is hundreds, oh, nearly a thousand."

"Bag, a bunch of waste was defeated by the police, and the invincible Japanese army was disgraced."

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Major General Rokuro Noda slapped the low-level officer in front of him with gold stars in his eyes, and his mouth was full of energy: "Hi...... Hi"

The squadron leader is telling the truth, who knows that Major General Rokuro Noda turned his face and didn't recognize people, and his face was swollen after this slap.

The commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, and the brigade commander, Major General Rokuro Noda, both had a question mark in their hearts, why was the Mukden police force blocking the attack, and not the regular army?

They knew that there was a seventh brigade in Mukden, could it be that they had run away?

Hmph, probably there is no army in Mukden anymore, otherwise how could it be that the police force is blocking it?

The 2nd Division set out early in the morning and had no idea what had happened last night.

Lieutenant General Domen Jiro thought to himself, no matter what, I still have to organize an army to test it, if it is indeed a police force, it is estimated that I can take Fengtian City today.

At two o'clock, the 15th Brigade of the Kwantung Army launched the first wave of exploratory attacks, and the forces of two squadrons, under the cover of three tanks, attacked the positions constructed by the Mukden police.

Two squadrons of the Japanese army are almost 400 people, is there a lot of them?

In fact, there are not many, and there are not necessarily many police positions scattered to attack more than 1,000 people.

The Japanese army knew that there was a police force on the other side, so they naturally despised each other in their hearts, and it was a shame for the Japanese army to use the regular army to fight the police force.

The Japanese army despised each other, and they had the capital to be proud, but then there was suffering.

Soon after the Japanese began to attack, when they were within 500 meters of the opposite position, the sound of artillery sounded from the opposite side, and the artillery of the Mukden Volunteer Army opened fire.

Nima, the Mukden police also have artillery.

Still, the accuracy of this cannonball is really fucked up!

It's a waste, it's just too much money for shells.

Yes, the Mukden Volunteers just threw out the shells with improper money.

The Fengtian Volunteer Army is capricious, and the shells at home have become a burden, why don't you fire hard?

Let the Fengtian Volunteers fight to the death with the little devils?

Just kidding!

Long Yun genius would not be so stupid, let these armies that were originally warlords fight a tough battle with the Japanese first-class divisions, and he knew that it was the result of a god horse with his ass.

The Japanese are injured, and he can't afford to hurt Long Yuntian!

It's easy for Long Yuntian to put away this little army!

Not to mention victory or defeat, heavy casualties are the inevitable result, and the most important thing is that the morale of the army will inevitably suffer, which Long Yuntian never wants to see.

Yin dead little devil, Long Yuntian wants to use yin tricks to deal with the second division.

Although the landing point of the shells is not good, and it is difficult to compliment the accuracy, the shells are very dense, and there is a barrage in front of the Japanese soldiers.

It doesn't matter if you're on the head, random artillery can kill people, there are always a few shells that fall into the crowd of the 15th Brigade, and the little devils who blow up fly into the sky.

The Japanese tanks rushed to the front, although the level of the enemy's artillery bombardment was very poor, but they could not stand too many shells that fell, and soon, one of the tanks that rushed to the front was hit and scrapped.

The skin of the little devil's tank is very thin, as long as it is almost affected by the shell, it will be over, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the fate of the other two is similar.

There was no way, the little devil began to hide, and he didn't dare to rush forward in a hurry.

The Japanese army had no air cover, and its own artillery was attacked by the opponent's air force, and now it could only watch the opponent's artillery raging and being beaten passively.

I originally thought that the other side's shelling would stop after a while, but who knew that it was not like that at all, the battlefield was still rumbling, and the opponent's shells came one after another.

The commander of the Japanese army in charge of the attack didn't look like a problem, this Nima didn't take the shells properly, and the shells came endlessly.

I can't wait any longer, when will I be able to hit an effective shooting range when I lie on the ground like this?

"Eight grid tooth road, all get up and rush for me, we must take this position."

Well, don't die.

The Japanese soldiers had no choice but to get up and shout: "Loaded ......" and rushed forward.

The troops of the 15th Brigade did not rush, but the charge was broken, and the artillery on the opposite side suddenly tightened, and the shells fired indiscriminately, and one after another the shells exploded in the crowd, and the Japanese casualty rate began to rise sharply.

The situation was not good, and the Japanese soldiers who were running hurriedly lay on the ground to dodge, and the artillery fire was too fierce.

The hatred in the little devil's heart, the front is a position built by the police, what a good opportunity for meritorious service.

Unfortunately, it's still far from reaching.

It's been almost half an hour, and I haven't run 100 meters yet, how much time does it take to run 500 meters?

Time is not a problem, the problem is to kill people.

It was so bizarre that the enemy's artillery positions did not stop firing, and it was the first time that the Japanese army had seen such a war scene.

It's drops, that's how the Mukden Volunteers bully little devils.

I have cannons, there are endless shells, what are you doing with those iron gadas?

These shells don't have to be used in vain, they will be cumbersome in the future, and they should be consumed as soon as possible.

The cannons used by the Fengtian Volunteers in this shelling are all the most rubbish types of artillery selected, and there is even a Qing Dynasty artillery, which is about to fall apart after a few shots.

This cannon is scrapped, what to do with the remaining shells?

It can't be wasted, so let's save it for when the coal mine explodes.

Zhao Zhenfan, chief of staff of the Volunteer Army, had already made arrangements, and the artillery was divided into different levels, and the old artillery and artillery with few shells were used first, and all these shells were consumed.

Nima, the artillerymen have come to work, and in late autumn they are sweating profusely, and it is really hard work to carry shells.

The problem now is that there are a lot of artillery, and the number of artillery of the Volunteers is seriously insufficient, and even some people in the arsenal who can shoot artillery have come.

Although there were a lot of calls for support, that is, there were individual support forces from the nearest army, but there was still a big gap in the number.

It is estimated that more follow-up support forces will arrive in the evening, and those who are longer will probably have to wait until tomorrow.

There is a lot of strength in numbers, from Feng Yong and even to the general officials of the headquarters, everyone works together, and they can always pull some support forces.

There must be some troops who are unwilling to send people to support, but there is no shortage of sympathetic troops to the volunteers, after all, Zhang Xiaozi's strategy is unpopular, and he can't disobey the order to send troops to support, so it's okay to secretly send a few people to help.

It is because of the small number of artillery that artillery has become the most tiring branch of the battle.
