Ladies and gentlemen, please join the bookshelf collection to read this book first, it is best to read it as a member, thank you for your great support!

The attack of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army was launched on time at four o'clock, this time in an attack formation of nearly 1,000 men in a brigade. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Probably unwilling to accept the failure of the first offensive, against a garbage unit like the Mukden police, the Imperial Japanese army was defeated, and the dignified Second Division of the Kwantung Army was annoyed.

It was still the tanks that opened the way, and the four tanks lined up and drove violently towards the opposite position.

As soon as the Japanese army launched, the artillery of the Mukden Volunteer Army opened fire.

It's still the same as before, with heavy artillery fire.

Although the hit rate of the artillery fire was very low, it could not hold up the large amount, and the shells that were fired fell near the Japanese army to form a large barrage, which was very spectacular.

Obviously, the level of artillery of the Mukden Volunteer Army was uneven.

Some of the shells were accurate, and some were too flattering.

The shells that hit accurately must have been made by experienced artillerymen, and some of the others were obviously new recruits.

Random artillery can kill people, this thing is not accurate, who knows if it will fall on your head? The Japanese soldiers were frightened, but they had to go in the direction of the barrage.

The commander behind the Japanese soldiers shouted vigorously: "Hurry up, rush me." ”

The soldier scolded in his heart: "Why don't you run in front, doesn't such a fierce artillery fire send us to death?" Paralyzed, how could there be so many cannons in Mukden, can't the shells be finished? ”

Although they were forced to rush forward by the officers, the artillery fire was so scary that almost all the Japanese soldiers were trembling in their legs and stomachs, and it was fake that they were not afraid.

Heavy artillery fire was intensive, and from time to time shells fell on the crowd of Japanese soldiers and exploded.

It is strange that the Mukden resistance forces were silent on the opposing position, except for the heavy bombardment with artillery fire, and not a single bullet was fired.

There are always unlucky people who die under fire, and this thing is all a matter of luck, and if you catch a cannonball, you will hit the jackpot.

The Mukden Volunteer Army lacks artillery, and some recruits have also gone up, as long as they can fire artillery, the level of shelling of these people is definitely difficult to compliment.

The 2nd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army was very tragic and rushed forward under artillery fire.

However, the further forward the artillery fire became, the slower the Japanese advance became.

The Kwantung Army suffered heavy casualties, several tanks were constantly destroyed during the advance, and they were exhausted before they could rush to the enemy's positions.

At a distance of 500 meters, it took the Japanese nearly an hour to get close at the cost of hundreds of people. With the continuous advance of the Japanese army, the mortality rate is also rising.

The Japanese soldiers were very tragic and braved the artillery fire to advance, but fortunately it was not far away, and if they rushed forward more than 100 meters, victory was in sight.

There was no gunfire from the Mukden position, and the position was still quiet, and only the rumbling of artillery could be heard in the ears.

Don't look at the fact that there is no one on the position, the Kwantung Army has suffered losses.

This was also the case in the last attack, when the Japanese troops had just rushed halfway up the road and were swept away by a large number of police forces with dense fire, causing the Japanese to retreat with heavy casualties.

Seeing that the position is in front of him, even if there are Mukden police hidden on the position, he will rush.

Besides, once the Mukden police are in a scuffle, Mukden's artillery fire will not be effective, not to mention that the position must be taken.

Under normal circumstances, if the two armies are too close, the artillery of the other side will stop firing to avoid accidental injury. But the artillery of the Fengtian Volunteer Army did not play their cards according to common sense, and they continue to shell until now, are they not afraid that the shells will blow up to their own people on the position?

However, no one has thought about the battle until now, and the Japanese captain shouted: "All of them, onboard!" ”

"Onboard!"

Hundreds of people shouted together and rushed to the position quickly in the face of a dense barrage.

Eighty meters ......

Fifty meters......

Twenty meters ......

The position was still as quiet as ever, no resistance appeared, and the Japanese rushed to the position excitedly, and many people shouted: "Victory!" We won......"

The trenches were empty, and the positions were indeed occupied by the Japanese.

Moreover, the artillery fire of the other side actually stopped, and for a time only the cheers of the Japanese army remained on the battlefield.

Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, the main force of the 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army, and Major General Rokuro Noda, commander of the 15th Brigade, who were watching the battle from the rear, both held binoculars and observed, and they couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement when they saw their troops rushing to the position.

"Yeongxi, the Fengtian police are the opponents of the Kwantung Army, and Fengtian City is at your fingertips."

The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, put down his glasses, and the battle situation has finally appeared the result he hoped to see.

"Yes, the army of the Great Japanese Empire is invincible, even the regular army is no opponent, let alone a group of policemen. I can sleep in Mukden City tonight, and I'm so tired after running all day. ”

"Well, it's not early, and if we can't fight this time, we'll have to sleep in the wilderness."

While the two commanders were talking, the position in front changed again, and the Japanese army continued to attack, so they couldn't always stay in the trenches, right?

However, as soon as the Japanese soldiers left the trenches, the artillery fire on the opposite side began to bombard again, and the intensity was even more intense than before. The Volunteer positions not far ahead, also opened fire, and the powerful fire fired wildly.

The Japanese soldiers who were under artillery fire flipped on their backs, and their stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky.

The distance is closer, the accuracy of the artillery has improved, and the key is the reason why there are too many cannons.

Under this barrage, the Japanese could not continue to advance, and the frightened Japanese soldiers dodged in a panic, and even those soldiers who reacted quickly hid in the trenches.

The best hiding place in this place was the trenches, and the clever Japanese soldiers jumped into the trenches, and soon the trenches were full of people.

The captain of the Japanese army also noticed the use value of the trenches and ordered his troops to counterattack: "Shout, the Fengtian police have dug the trenches for the Japanese army, hurry up and shoot me." ”

The Japanese soldiers lying in the trenches suddenly became much more courageous, at least the trenches were much safer than the outside.

Immediately, the Japanese positions burst into gunfire and opened fire on the police positions of more than 200 meters on the opposite side.

In the rear of the Fengtian Volunteer Army's position, Wang Tiehan and others were watching the battle, and suddenly remembered what Feng Tian had told Zhao Zhenfan.

Wang Tiehan walked up to Zhao Zhenfan's side and asked, "Chief of Staff Zhao, what did Commander Feng tell you just now?" It's mysterious. ”

"Hehe, it's definitely a big surprise, you'll see it in a moment. Don't blink, or you'll miss out on the show. ”

Zhao Zhenfan did not let go of his appetite, which made Wang Tiehan's heart itch.

"What's going on, it's so mysterious, the chief of staff reveals a little bit in advance, okay?"

Zhao Zhenfan shook his head and resolutely did not let go: "It's not interesting to say it, it's better to watch it directly." ”

What kind of person, is it interesting to hang people's appetite?

Wang Tiehan and others were very dissatisfied with Zhao Zhenfan's attitude, but the more they didn't say it, the more curious it became.

There was no way, Wang Tiehan and the others had to stare at the position ahead, for fear of missing something.
