Chapter 136: Time is like water
"Mother!" Jiang Li knelt in front of a woman who was over half a hundred years old with insomnia in both eyes, feeling a little apprehensive, Huang Xiansheng was next to him, if his identity was recognized, I am afraid it would not be good. From the 918 incident to the present,
Jiang Li was running around, often so busy that he didn't even have time to sleep, and the first few days even added up to a few hours of rest. Unexpectedly, Huang Xiansheng sent someone to take his sister over.
The old woman's hand trembled and stroked Jiang Li's face.
"Congwen has done a lot of things during this time, if it weren't for Congwen, I'm afraid the Japanese would have entered Mukden City a long time ago." Huang Xiansheng sighed and said.
"Okay, okay, Li'er has grown up and can carry things on his shoulders." The old woman's lips trembled.
In his previous life, Jiang Li was taken away from the lonely house organizationally, and at this time, it was the first time he felt this kind of love from his mother's love, and the string that had been tight in his heart seemed to be plucked.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be filial but does not wait. Guodong envy you for having a good mother,
No matter how busy you are in military affairs, you can't forget your old lady, your brother-in-law has passed away all these years, and your mother has suffered a lot for pulling you up. Huang Xiansheng sighed and said.
"Uncle has to teach me, I can save it." Jiang Li nodded in agreement.
With the laborers pulled from Fushun, Benxi, Anshan and other places,
There are also horse-drawn carriages that are expedited by Mukden.
Mountains of grain in Mukden City,
Machinery and other materials were transported in batches in an orderly manner.
With the arrival of the Japanese air force one after another, the Fengtian air force led by Gao Zhihang and the Japanese air force fought repeatedly, but because the planes could not be replenished, they had gradually lost air supremacy over Fengtian City.
At this time, the Japanese army that arrived outside Fengtian City had as many as 5 divisions, three independent mixed brigades, two cavalry brigades, and more than 140,000 troops on the books.
The fierce tug-of-war was repeated on the positions of the Mukden defenders. The lives of both the Japanese army and the defenders of Mukden City were constantly consumed in this tug-of-war.
The defense line of the defenders of Fengtian City was also constantly shrinking backwards, and the frenzied Japanese army in front of them once again poured into the third line of defense of the defenders. There were corpses everywhere, and the voices in the trenches went from high to low, and it was clear that the battle was over. From the opposite side, there were earth-shattering cheers from the Japanese army.
"The Tibetan governor has worked hard during this time, but after arriving in northern Shaanxi, he still has to be busy, the Tibetan governor should pay attention to his body, our grievances between the Northeast and the Japanese are not over, and the final victory will definitely belong to us."
Jiang Li, who was dressed in a military coat, put down his binoculars, and when he spoke, there was white air in front of his mouth, and in December, the temperature in Fengtian City at this time had dropped to more than ten degrees below zero, and it was almost to the point of pouring water into ice. With the meteorological conditions of this era, it is far from the coldest time, dispatching hundreds of thousands of large migrations, in this kind of extremely difficult transportation conditions, it is not much easier than fighting a tough battle, Tibetan Yi's originally somewhat blessed body was very thin in winter. Recently, I have also suffered from wind chills, and I have a terrible cough these days.
Tibetan Shiyi coughed for a while, smiled, looked at the already dilapidated Fengtian City, his eyes were full of nostalgia, "I will hold on until the day of victory, I was originally reluctant to leave, I hope that the young marshal will change his mind one day, but unfortunately, after holding up in Fengtian City for almost three months, I still don't see a little hope, but you, you have done well enough, the people of the Northeast, the whole Republic of China is in the eyes,
Don't be too demanding, Commander Huang told me, you are still needed to preside over the overall situation in northern Shaanxi, the Mongols in the north who are instigated by the Japanese are ready to move, and some local forces are not very friendly to us, the outsiders who go to Fengtian, and without you, the god of war, you can't suppress those small things. ”
Tibetan Yi said in a joking tone, but it was not too exaggerated, in the past,
Huang Xiansheng is the most senior in Fengtian, and he is Jiang Li's elder, so he has some prestige there, but because of the process of the Fengtian War, Jiang Li's reputation can even make the Japanese army hear about it. Even if they are as arrogant as the Japanese army, showing a little flaw, it is the result of heavy losses, just more than ten days ago, because of the sudden change in the weather, a Japanese army escorting logistics was sneak attacked, and the defenders gained nearly 2,000 enemy annihilation.
At this time, although the three lines of defense east of Fengtian City, which were mainly trenches, had been occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese army had already lost enough blood in this tragic trench attack and defense battle.
More than 100,000 Japanese troops attacked Fengtian City for several months, not to mention heavy losses, the Japanese army Sanyi commander, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, in foreign wars, this battle of Fengtian is the first time that China has faced foreign captives alone without a major defeat. It was also a time for the great powers to look at the army of the Republic of China.
"God of War?" Jiang Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, if it weren't for the support of the Fengtian arsenal, if it weren't for the integration of the anti-Japanese forces in Jilin and Heilongjiang, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, it would be impossible for him to support it for so long under more than 100,000 Japanese troops.
If it is regarded as the artillery shells produced by the mortar factory, plus the various types of shells that were originally stored in the Fengtian Arsenal before, Fengtian City has made a total of nearly 700,000 rounds of various shells. In this battle to defend Mukden, nearly 400,000 rounds of artillery shells alone were consumed. And the bullets were also produced at full capacity, and together with the production of more than 140 million rounds, more than 70 million rounds were consumed. The consumption of bullets and shells alone is probably at least forty percent more than that of the Japanese army, and the air force has a total of 85 planes of various types, and there are less than 20 left, Gao Zhihang was also wounded and forcibly taken away by Jiang Li's order, and the remaining nearly 20 planes were also disassembled and compared, and they were also sent away in the next two days.
The casualties of the soldiers were as high as nearly 60,000. If it weren't for the people from all over the world who enthusiastically applied for the army,
There are also the sturdy extracted from Fushun and Benxi laborers,
With the little men and horses in Jiang Li's hands, they had already been defeated by the Japanese. At the beginning, relying on air supremacy and firepower superiority, the casualties of the defenders of Mukden City were once lower than those of the Japanese army. However, as the strength of the Japanese army on the battlefield became stronger and stronger, in the case of completely occupying air supremacy, and the Japanese army was filled with elite Japanese veterans, the difference between the casualties of the two sides was gradually widened, and the casualties of the Japanese army, as the attacking side, were much lower than those of the defenders of Fengtian City.
After paying a lot of casualties,
Jiang Li organized the transfer of wounded soldiers,
In addition, the things that should be moved in Fengtian City have been almost moved, Jiang Li began to gradually abandon the outer trenches, and pulled the main force to Fengtian City, as the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Fengtian City After years of development,
It's already a city of no small size,
In addition, in the past two months, Jiang Li has built a large number of fortifications for street fighting in Fengtian City, and has accumulated enough grain and coal as materials to keep warm in winter. Compared with trench warfare, without air support, urban street fighting was the last meal Jiang Li prepared for the Japanese army.
"The governor of Tibet will go to northern Shaanxi first,
When the convoy was to safety, I saw the plane retreating. Jiang Li took a breath and said.
"The future still depends on you young people, cherish!"
Tibetan Yi shook hands with Jiang Li and turned to leave.
