In addition to bombs from the sky, they had to endure hunger, thirst and cold, and many villages were gone, leaving no houses to shelter them from the wind and rain. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Even wells have been filled, and drinking water has become a problem.

When encountering a river on the road, the Japanese soldiers drank wildly regardless of whether the water was clean or not, and the weather was cold at night.

What's even more unfortunate is that he was attacked the day before yesterday, and he didn't even know what army attacked him, and the commander of the 20th Division, Major General Tatsujiro Kamura, didn't mention how much he had in his heart.

It would be good if the soldiers of the 20th Division survived, and Major General Tatsujiro Kamura did not report the difficulties he encountered to Commander Hayashi Mijuro, but the problem was that Commander Hayashi Mijuro did not pay attention to the difficulties faced by Major General Kamura Tatsujiro.

The armies that can be used in the hands of the Kwantung Army are now only the 20th Division and the 19th Division, and it will take some time for the army from the mainland to reach the Northeast, and Lin Mijuro has no choice.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura, who was scolded, had to endure it himself, and he had nothing to do to scold him.

"Report, the front has arrived in Fengtian City."

"Roaring, did you find any resistance from the army?"

"No troops were found, not even a single figure was found, the entire city of Fengtian was dead, and many places had been reduced to ruins."

"Keep searching and advancing, if there is no army to resist, we will stay in Mukden City tonight."

It was true that there was no resistance from Mukden, and the whole city was miserable, silent, quiet and fearful.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura was also worried about an ambush, so he asked people to enter the city to search carefully, but in the end they found nothing. Along the way, apart from the bodies of some Japanese soldiers, there was not even a single living person in Mukden City.

The corpses were so horrible that it was almost impossible to see what they were, and they had been torn apart by wild beasts.

"Roar, all of you go into the city."

The 20th Division finally entered Mukden City after a lot of hardships, and it was indeed a ruin in the eyes of Major General Tatsujiro Kamura.

Most of the houses in the city were destroyed, and there were few decent houses on the outskirts of the city.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura was stunned, how is this possible?

Mukden is a big city, who would be willing to destroy such a huge city?

Major General Tatsujiro Kakamura glanced around the surroundings and found that the collapsed houses showed signs of artillery fire, and even the roads in the city were filled with the corpses of some Japanese soldiers.

The corpses of the Japanese soldiers were stumped and their arms were broken, and they were very miserable.

It was not always a matter for the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army to be exposed to the wilderness, and Major General Tatsujiro Kamura ordered the army to clean it up, gather it and cremate it.

It must be a decisive battle between the 2nd Division and the resistance forces here, and it seems that the battle is very fierce.

Major General Kamura Tatsujiro first thought of the Second Division, and the ruins of Mukden Castle should be related to the Second Division's attack on Mukden.

That is, it is possible that the 2nd Division broke through Mukden City.

As for why there is no whereabouts now, Major General Tatsujiro Kamura can't understand it for the time being.

Fortunately, several buildings in the city were still intact, and Major General Tatsujiro Kamura estimated that there were enough for the remaining men of the 20th Division to live in, although they were also badly damaged.

Major General Kamura Tatsujiro even suspected that the Mukden resistance had deliberately destroyed Mukden Castle, and that the remaining houses were too strong to be completely destroyed.

Probably because the escape was so hurried that it was retained.

Yes, outwardly there are indeed signs of destruction.

It's not too bad, it's better than not having a house at all.

Probably, the 2nd Division did not perish, and it is quite possible that the pursuit of the resistance went north.

As for why there is no radio contact, there are probably other reasons for this.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura analyzed in his heart that the 20th Division must move north in the next step and contact the 2nd Division as soon as possible.

It's really hard to feel the hard work of this way, and I need to get a good night's sleep tonight.

"Hello, it's good to have a house tonight. All units were ordered to send troops to reconnoiter everywhere, especially to check for mines and explosives, and if they found anything suspicious, they would immediately report it, and the others would immediately go into the city to rest. ”

"Hi"

Major General Kamura Tatsujiro, the commander of the 20th Division, was still not at ease, as a commander, he had to be cautious, and sent troops to the north, east, and west of the city to continue the search, and the city also arranged for the army to carefully inspect it, for fear of being plotted by the volunteers.

After tossing for a long time, nothing was found, everything in the city was safe and secure, and the Mukden resistance had long since gone away.

Even if the Fengtian Volunteers wanted to plot against the Japanese army, I am afraid that the Japanese army would not easily find out, anyway, everything was normal in the house, and no traces of the walls and ground were found.

To bury explosives, you always have to dig a pit, the wood is there, and the house is intact and kept in its original state.

At about seven o'clock, all the troops sent out returned, and no resistance was found within a few miles of Mukden City, not even a single person gasping for breath.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura was finally relieved, and this guy was also afraid that the Mukden resistance would deliberately let them in, and then carry out a surprise attack.

Although Major General Kamura Tatsujiro did not care much about the Mukden police, an attack the day before yesterday caused heavy casualties to the 20th Division.

Soon, the Japanese army finished dinner, and their exhausted bodies could no longer support it, and they were stationed in several houses in Mukden City to sleep.

The rooms and corridors were full of people, and even without beds was a hundred times stronger than in the open air, and the Japanese soldiers felt that this was already a heavenly treatment.

An incomplete division, with thousands of people living in several relatively large buildings.

It was too cold, so the Japanese soldiers found wood and lit a bonfire to ward off the cold of the night.

At night, the stars in the sky are still bright, reflecting the dilapidated city of Fengtian, which is now quiet and a little eerie, like a ghost.

The hardest was Major General Tatsujiro Kamura, who had not yet rested and was looking at the number of casualties counted by the divisional staff officers and the number of combatants.

The entire division is now less than 7,000 men, and excluding the wounded and sick, I am afraid that even a brigade will not be able to make up now.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura has a headache, what if he encounters a large force of resistance?

Forget it, I don't think about it tonight, let's draft a telegram to Commander Hayashi Mijuro first.

"Your Excellency, Commander Hayashi Mijuro, the 20th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army in Korea has occupied Mukden City, and the Mukden resistance forces have fled in a hurry, and Mukden City has been seriously damaged by the war, and most of them have been reduced to ruins.

According to the analysis of the destruction of Mukden City, the Second Division and the resistance forces fought fiercely in Mukden City. There are various indications that the Second Division of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Empire once occupied Mukden City.

However, no trace of the main force of the 2nd Division has been found so far.

From the analysis of the situation in hand, it is possible that the 2nd Division of the Imperial Japanese Empire will pursue the resistance forces to the north. Our division will continue northward tomorrow to search for the resistance and the whereabouts of the 2nd Division. ”

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura drafted the message, checked that there were no errors, and handed it to the telegraph operator to send a message.

Major General Tatsujiro Kamura yawned again and again, found a place to fall asleep.

Subsequently, the entire command headquarters was busy, and the staff officers were also very tired, and they fell asleep one after another.

At this time, even the Japanese soldiers sent out to guard were probably very sleepy, and it is difficult to say whether they were strictly on duty or not.

Wang Tiehan slept in the first half of the night and came out to work in the second half of the night, and the entire Second Brigade was dispatched after 3 o'clock in the morning.

A few miles north of Fengtian, Wang Tiehan was holding a telescope in his hand and kept a close eye on the light of the windows of the buildings in Fengtian City until they were all extinguished.

The Japanese have long slept like dead pigs, and the light is just a bonfire lit for warmth.

Wang Tiehan is very patient, he has to wait a little longer, for fear that there will be fish that slip through the net.

He is now carrying out a very important task, that is, Feng Tian said that he would give the 20th Division a big greeting gift.

There are a few buildings in Mukden City, which were specially left by the volunteers, and it is not a problem to meet the needs of a division of the Japanese army.

Of course, it is not needed now, there are not so many people in the 20th Division.

What is Wang Tiehan doing?

Hehe, there are a lot of explosives buried under these preserved houses, and even the remaining discarded shells from the Mukden Arsenal have been bought and buried.

These shells are either almost expired, or they don't have the right guns or specifications, and they are no longer needed, and they are not wanted anyway.

It takes a certain amount of manpower to transport it, so let's use it.

Long wires connected the city of Mukden, and the regiments had already taken positions around the city, waiting for their brigade commander to give orders.

But the Japanese are not stupid, can you plant explosives without being discovered?

It is impossible to find out, Fengtian is not stupid, he did not let the army do anything inside the house, but dug the tunnel before the Mukden Volunteers withdrew, filled the ground of the house with explosives, and then demolished the surrounding houses to cover up all traces, at least on the surface.

Probably, the Japanese never dreamed that they were sleeping on powder kegs, just waiting for the moment of detonation.

The stars were shifting, it was already a dark moment before dawn, Wang Tiehan stood up and looked at Fengtian City, which was as dark as a monster.

It's time, Wang Tiehan ordered: "Hehe, the wonderful moment has come, order all departments to prepare and take a dragnet type of advancement." The sound of the explosion is an order, not a single Japanese devil is allowed to slip through the net, even a dead person will stab me. ”

"Yes, Brigadier."

Half an hour later, Wang Tiehan gave an order: "I order, detonate ......"

In the dark night, I saw a flash of fire in the distance of Fengtian City, followed by a roar, and the huge explosion was particularly shocking in the quiet night, causing the echo of the distant mountains.

Houses rose into the air, fires bloomed in the night, and the buildings in Mukden City turned into smoke and dust and rose into the sky.

The sound of the explosion still echoed over the field, and it refused to disperse.

Looking at the swarthy Fengtian City in the distance, it suddenly became shorter, and the whole city was razed to the ground.

The pre-dawn night was about to pass, quiet and frightening, and then everything was calm......
