In order to put some pressure on the defenders of Mukden, two battalions of Japanese troops launched an attack less than an hour after General Shengjing left the city wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nine heavy machine guns were lined up three hundred meters from the city wall.

After the heavy machine guns fired, the dense bullets fired from the nine machine guns immediately caused a rain of bullets and sparks to fly in all directions.

Many officers and men of the patrol battalion did not know how to dodge in the face of the bullets flying over, and waited for the bullets to beat themselves into a hornet's nest.

In the blink of an eye, a scream sounded above the city, and dozens of soldiers of the patrol battalion fell on the city wall, dead or wounded.

The commander of the new army, who was in charge of the defense of the city wall, frowned, and decisively ordered: "Conceal, everyone quickly hide, the Liaodong Army has begun to attack!" ”

After all the defenders of the city took refuge behind the castle stomping, two companies of Japanese, lined up in a skirmish line and armed with guns, slowly pressed towards the head of the city.

"What about our heavy machine guns, immediately counterattack, notify the artillery battalion, and fire at the Japanese heavy artillery positions outside the city!" After taking a full view of the situation outside the city, the commander of the new army gave a decisive order.

Compared with the battle-hardened Japanese, the heavy machine gunners of the New Army were obviously much more rusty on the battlefield.

Many of the heavy machine guns often fired within a few seconds of the heavy machine guns being fired from outside the city, hitting the heavy machine gunners and enveloping the heavy machine guns added to the city stomp in a rain of bullets.

Seeing the corpse of a heavy machine gun shooter behind a heavy machine gun that had been smashed into a hornet's nest, I heard the sound of bullets whizzing overhead. The faces of the other machine gunners next to the heavy machine gun turned pale in an instant.

They knew very well that in this case, as long as they got close to the heavy machine gun, they would immediately be targeted by the Japanese outside the city, and then they would be beaten into corpses covered in bloody holes.

So, despite the fact that the officers behind him constantly ordered him to shoot back, the heavy machine gunner with a pale face remained indifferent.

When there was really no way, the heavy machine gun shooter could only hide his body behind the stomp and raise his hands high to shoot blindly.

So, after a round of fire, the heavy machine guns placed at the head of the city by the defenders continued to fire outward. However, only God knows exactly where the dense bullets they fired flew.

The nine heavy machine guns placed by the Japanese outside the city were basically not threatened, and continued to fire intensively at the head of the city, shooting and killing all the Japanese soldiers who dared to peek their heads out of the city.

Seeing that the two or three hundred Japanese troops had almost no casualties, they rushed from 300 meters to 200 meters, and then from 200 meters to more than 100 meters.

And his subordinates who were guarding the city, although they had ten heavy machine guns to fight back, did not seem to have much effect. The bullets fired from outside the city to the head of the city still whizzed above everyone's heads, so that everyone couldn't lift their heads.

At this time, the commander of the new army, who was in charge of defending the city, slowly became anxious.

He constantly ordered his officers and men to strengthen their firepower and increase their firepower output

After the order was issued, the bullets fired by the patrol battalion on the city wall were indeed much denser, but the dense bullets rarely hit the Japanese outside the city.

More than 200 Japanese, armed with rifles, seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and beckoned to them again, and were screaming to launch a final attack on Mukden City.

At this critical moment, the scream of cannonballs across the sky suddenly sounded above everyone's heads.

Subsequently, a violent explosion sounded in the Japanese artillery positions outside the city.

Despite the poor accuracy of the first round of shelling by the mountain artillery battalion, one shell hit the target, and it was a direct hit, instantly blowing the heavy machine gun that was spitting tongues of fire into parts. Several machine gunners around them were blown to the ground.

"The artillery has finally fired! Brothers, the artillery battalion opened fire, and the Japanese did not have a heavy machine gun for long. They were all ready to counterattack, and as soon as the heavy machine guns of the Japanese cover fire stopped, the troops immediately counterattacked, destroying the Japanese attacking troops with the most intense firepower. ”

The Japanese outside the city had learned from Yang Xingguo that there was a mountain artillery battalion in Mukden City before they set out, and Li Hao, the commander of the Japanese regiment in charge of this operation, ordered the heavy machine gunners to retreat as soon as he saw the mountain artillery battalion firing artillery.

What Li Hao didn't expect was that his casual order moved a few Japanese people next to him very much.

When receiving this order, many Japanese realized that it was likely that many Japanese would be consumed by the Liaodong Army as cannon fodder in this operation.

Of course, even if the Liaodong Army really regarded them as cannon fodder, they would have nothing to say. Who made them prisoners of the Liaodong Army and voluntarily joined this Japanese army, ate the Liaodong Army, and used the Liaodong Army.

However, from Liaozhong all the way here, they found that the Liaodong Army did not use them as cannon fodder.

When you really encounter a battle, you can use the minimum casualties to achieve victory with the minimum casualties, and if you are defeated, you can not fight without fighting. Even if they were all Japanese, they didn't deliberately let them die.

In addition to being moved, these Japanese have secretly sworn in their hearts that since they have joined the Liaodong Army, they will devote themselves to the Liaodong Army in the future and will not think about anything else.

Soon, nearly a hundred well-trained heavy machine-gun shooters retreated from the battlefield.

Although during the retreat, another heavy machine gun was hit by a shell and exploded into parts. But most of the heavy machine guns and heavy machine gun shooters exited the battlefield intact.

The heavy machine guns retreated, and the attacking troops of the two companies certainly had no need to continue to charge.

A few light machine guns took cover behind the hall and quickly retreated.

But no matter how fast the Japanese soldiers retreated, he couldn't move faster than the bullets.

Two companies of more than 200 legionnaires, and in the end only half of them returned.

Seeing that more than a dozen Japanese officers in two battalions were looking at him, Li Hao, the commander of the Japanese regiment, decisively gave the order to withdraw the troops.

From the beginning of the Japanese army's entry into Mukden, the defenders of Mukden who were wiped out before and after were not a thousand people, but also six or seven hundred.

This result was enough for the Mukden defenders to feel precarious, and they reported to the imperial court and asked for reinforcements.

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, there is no need for the Japanese army to waste troops here in vain.

Although almost all of the Japanese army was composed of Japanese troops, since they joined the Liaodong Army and received the salary of the Liaodong Army, they were members of the Liaodong Army.

In addition, they are all battle-hardened elites, and if they lose one, they will lose one less, whether it is Li Hao, the commander of the Japanese army, or Yang Xingguo, the commander, they don't want to see the Japanese army formed by the Liaodong Army at a large price lost outside Fengtian City in vain.

Seeing that the Japanese army was slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, the commander of the new army did not send people to pursue them.

As a commander, he still knows some of the most basic military common sense.

The reason why the "Japanese army" outside the city retreated was because they estimated that the mountain artillery battalion inside the city was not afraid of their subordinates defending the city wall.

Once he sent his troops out of the city to pursue, he would go back to cover the mountain artillery battalion.

When the time comes, with the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the "Japanese army" on the battlefield, the troops sent out to the city by themselves are likely to be killed by the Japanese army and suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, the commander of the new army could only watch the Japanese army swagger away with a face full of grievances. ”
