Chapter 126: Fierce Battle Fengtian 1
"Hasebe Teru is also broken." Muto Nobuyoshi sighed and put the telegram from Jilin on the table, the empire had not suffered such a big loss for a long time, and the martyrdom of another major general brigade commander had cast a shadow on the already unsmooth war.
"Your Excellency Commander, don't mind, since it is a war, there will naturally be casualties, and when the imperial army seizes the northeast and tells the undead, the Yin spirits of General Hase, General Amano, etc., will feel comforted." Okamura said comfortingly.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, the intelligence shows that the Zhina Army has built several complete fortifications in Fengtian City, and we have lost thousands of people in the past few days and have not been able to take the first line of defense of the Zhina Army, as long as the Zhina Army has enough troops,
Mukden City may become the second Lushun fortress. Muto Nobuyoshi said rather nerve-wrackingly.
"In that case, why don't we use gas bombs?" Okamura Ninji suggested, as for the Geneva Convention, Okamura Ninji and other high-ranking Japanese generals within the League of Nations do not pay much attention to it, don't you see that now that the Northeast has been fought with a river of blood, and the diplomats are still fighting with those British and American ghosts and diplomats in the League of Nations?
"No, the gas masks carried by the empire are also very limited, and there are also a lot of gas bombs in the Chinese army, once both sides use them,
It is difficult to predict what the outcome will be. Muto Nobuyoshi shook his head and said, in addition to the telegram sent by Hasebe, Muto Nobuyoshi's location can also access more comprehensive information, and he has also heard about Zhang Zuolin's purchase of poison gas bombs.
"In this way, there is only a hard attack, compared to Lushun, although the fortifications of Fengtian City are tricky, they are not helpless. I believe that the imperial army will definitely overcome this difficulty, and because of this war, the coal, iron, grain, soybeans, etc., which the empire obtained from the northeast in previous years, and the heavy oil and other resources in Fushun have all been interrupted, and the base camp is also facing the pressure of the chaebols, and we will not be allowed to delay the war. ”
Okamura Ninji had a serious expression, compared to the Honjo Shigeru era, the Kwantung Army at this time could be regarded as a strong army, but it also had to face pressure from within. The grain that Japan needs can be found from other places for a while, and the high-quality coal imported into Japan from the northeast reaches an astonishing 10 million tons every year, and there is also the shale oil industry in Fushun.
That's what is seen as the existence of the defense industry.
At a time when oil is playing an increasingly important role in the industry, and Japan, as an oil-deficient country, is heavily dependent on imports, even shale oil of poor quality is valued far beyond the general public. Iron and steel, Nanman Road generates tens of millions of profits every year, and every month of delay in time, these visible benefits are lost for one month. Under such circumstances, how could the Japanese chaebols, who had deep interests in the northeast, allow the war to drag on?
"Yes, the international empire is also facing more and more pressure, the empire has lost face in Mukden this time, we need to take Mukden City with an absolutely tough posture, and pay tribute to those pedantic politicians who want to cut the army." Muto Nobuyoshi nodded heavily.
As time passed, more and more Japanese troops gathered on the outskirts of Mukden City, exceeding 35,000. Under many pressures, the Japanese attack also became more and more rapid each time.
Tom Tom Tom .........
THE LARGER CALIBER 75MM MOUNTAIN GUN,
The operation of field artillery is more difficult,
If you want to play a certain level, it takes a long time to train, relatively speaking, it is much easier to produce small-caliber mortars, and the production of mortars is also much easier, in order to deal with the sharp grenadiers of the Japanese army, as well as a large number of Japanese infantry charges, in addition to a large number of light and heavy machine guns,
Jiang Li increased the amount of mortar equipment,
According to some statistics from the Soviet-German war in World War II, more than a third of infantry casualties were caused by mortars.
On the scattered positions, more than a dozen mortars opened fire one after another,
The crisp sound of impact came and went,
The Japanese troops in front of them fell in pools of blood, and by chance, two grenadiers were also destroyed by mortars. For the Japanese army, the living environment on the battlefield at this time was simply extremely harsh.
The two pillboxes lay in front of each other, one on the left and one on the right, and the machine-gun fire inside was intertwined, and there were almost no dead spots on the flat ground, and the only thing the Japanese could use was the brief moment when the opponent's bullets ran out and the bullet chain was replaced.
Whoosh, Shozo Aida Yuki led a large group of soldiers forward under the rain of bullets, these soldiers were not rifles in their hands, but explosives packs, as long as they approached the hateful bunker, they could rush up and blow open the hateful tortoise shell with explosives.
"Hehe, I want to blow up my turtle shell, go dream, old black, change the bullet chain!" When the bullet chain hit a small section, machine gunner Wang Baogang called to the deputy next to him.
"Okay!" Under the faint light, the soldier called Lao Hei quickly carried the ammunition box over with his hands and feet, and quickly removed the small remaining ammunition chain and replaced it with a new one.
"Yaga! The bullets of the machine gun of the Chinese man ran out,
Rush! Yuki Aida was stunned,
Unexpectedly, the time for the opponent's machine gun to finish shooting this time was five or six seconds faster than expected, and in the slight hesitation, the precious two or three seconds had slipped through the fingers.
When more than a dozen Japanese soldiers jumped up from the ground and were speeding forward, they ran out of a short break, and the desperate clatter sounded again.
"Bastards, these Japanese devils are so cunning,
Thinking that Lao Tzu's bullet chain is running out and rushing again, dream about it! Wang Baogang shouted, frantically pouring machine gun fire on the Japanese troops. More than a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground with their bodies shaking, each with at least five or six bullet holes in their bodies. The explosives pack turned into a flood of fire,
The explosion rushed into the sky, and the Japanese soldiers who reacted quickly and lay on the ground were also lifted into the air like paper paste.
"Bastard!" Yuki Aida punched his fist in the cold soil, and his success was lost, and in front of this pillbox, a hundred or dozens of Japanese soldiers had been killed and wounded, and almost a squadron was wiped out, and the other party simply did not move. A large number of Japanese troops were desperately pinned down at the front.
Rumble!
The earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the core bunker of Fengtian City could withstand the bombardment of the 150MM cannon cannon, but after eight or nine cannons, the thick wall was finally lifted off and turned into scum and splashed in the air. There was no bunker in the other place
Wang Baogang was so lucky, although the accuracy of the heavy artillery hitting the pillbox was not flattering, but the two Canon guns bombarded one after another, and after each fired more than 20 shells, the soil next to it was plowed again, and there were potholes and blood stains all around. There was no sign of life.
"Onboard!" The Japanese army and the defenders reappeared in this land full of death, and the murderous aura lingered again, blood, bayonets, and the melody of death were intertwined.
