Honjo was dumbfounded, and Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro, the two specific planners of Plan K, were even more scorched by the battle situation of Sayamazuiko. All their plans were based on the premise that there was no effective resistance from Team Z*. Although there was an emergency situation in Lucheng and Mukden last night, they still stubbornly believed that this was just the work of a small group of capable forces of other forces, even if they caused a lot of losses to the plan, as long as the Northeast Army did not resist, their plan could still succeed. Now the sneak attack has turned into a strong attack, and their opponents are far superior to their own in terms of the quality of their soldiers and their weapons and equipment.

But they have already been difficult to ride the tiger, and now they can only continue to attack. The trajectory of later generations has changed by this moment.

At the same time as the 1st Battalion of the 93rd Regiment of the Longjiu Division of the Longwei Army engaged the first round of fire with the Japanese army, the Beida Battalion also ushered in the sudden shelling of two 240mm heavy guns of the Japanese army. The power of the 240mm cannon is quite terrifying. Huge fireballs tumbled and rose over the Beidaying, and one after another bomb craters with a diameter of more than 30 meters sprayed hot pieces of dirt and exploded one after another.

Under Mu Han's special advice, Xu Haiyong's 93rd Regiment of the Longjiu Division did not suffer any casualties, but the other units of the Independent Seventh Brigade were not so lucky. In particular, after receiving the order of Zhang Shaomaro not to resist, the various units of the Seventh Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army, which had been sealed with various weapons, became like lambs to be slaughtered. Although Xu Haiyong had already secretly contacted and reminded the other units of the Independent Brigade to guard against the Japanese raid, there were still many people who did not buy it and carried out Zhang Shaoshuai's orders. The Kwantung Army's precise artillery strikes inflicted great damage on them. Many soldiers were bombarded with their bare hands in the barracks.

Xu Haiyong, who had retreated to the Beida Battalion, mobilized all units of the regiment to firmly garrison the three lines of defense, and reached an agreement with Wang Tiehan, the commander of the 620 Regiment, that the two regiments were stationed in the west and south of the Beida Camp to defend Mukden.

But in a hurry, the 620th Regiment, which had been mothballed with heavy weapons, soon fell into a predicament, and two 240mm heavy guns inflicted great losses on their positions.

With the support of heavy artillery, the Shimamoto Brigade of the Independent Garrison of the Japanese Kwantung Army gradually broke through the defense line of the Beidaying South Road, and fought with the officers and soldiers of the 620th Regiment of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army.

Under the command and deployment of Xu Haiyong, the 93rd Regiment of the former Longjiu Division and the 621st Regiment of the Seventh Brigade of the Northeast Army, the position on the Western Front stood still, and the whole regiment relied on super firepower to repel several crazy attacks of the Japanese army. The stalemate Japanese army seems to have learned to pick soft persimmons and pinch them.

After receiving the battle situation, Lieutenant General Mori Ren, the commander of the independent garrison, decisively ordered the Shimamoto brigade to leave one squadron to confront the garrison on the western front of the Beidaying, and the rest of the units went all out to attack the positions on the southern front of the Beidaying.

Soon, the defense line of Wang Tiehan's 620th Regiment of the 7th Independent Brigade of the Northeast Army was in jeopardy. Looking at the southern front position where the Japanese artillery was raging through the telescope, Xu Haiyong felt very uncomfortable, after all, they were all from country Z, and they had worked together in a large battalion for several years, and Wang Tiehan was also a well-known man, in the face of the Japanese attack, he decisively issued an order to resist, and repelled several crazy attacks of small Japan regardless of casualties.

"Master Sun, I'm Xu Haiyong, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it!" Xu Haiyong no longer hesitated and picked up the walkie-talkie.

"I'm Sun Feng, Head Xu, please speak!" Sun Feng, who was commanding the various units to fight in Fengtian City, glanced at Mu Han, and immediately replied after receiving the signal.

"Division Commander Sun, our position is still stable, and we have repelled many enemy attacks, but now almost all the Japanese artillery fire is fired at Wang Tiehan's 620 regiment, and now the situation of the department is extremely urgent, and the range of our artillery cannot reach the two 240 caliber heavy guns of the Japanese army, so it has not been exposed, and we cannot provide fire support to Wang Tiehan, so I implore Division Commander Sun to send a special combat team to eliminate the two 240 caliber heavy guns of the Japanese army!" Xu Haiyong said sadly.

"Wang Tiehan?" Gently reciting this name, thinking of being called "the person who fired the first shot of resistance against Japan" by later historians, Mu Han's heart moved, and then he said: "As long as you fight little Japan, they are all our friends!" ”

"Understood!" Sun Feng said meaningfully, "The first squad of the 1st Special Warfare Squadron, quickly attack and take out the Japanese heavy artillery positions for me!" ”

Soon, a fifteen-member Dragon Guard special operations team appeared on the periphery of the Beida camp. Dressed in the uniforms of the Kwantung Army, they took advantage of the sound of war guns and artillery to pick out places where no one was around, so that they did not find anyone until they touched the birch forest on the north side of Wengongtun, which was less than a hundred meters away from the heavy artillery position.

Although the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army were constructed in strict accordance with the tactical standards of artillery, the arrogant Japanese troops never thought that the enemy would attack them at this time, and in the two simple fortifications temporarily piled up with sandbags behind the position, there were only two soldiers carrying 38 large covers on their backs, and the two Kwantung Army soldiers were still chatting across the fortifications. Boxes of 240mm caliber shells were piled up in the middle of two heavy howitzers about 20 meters apart, and the artillerymen were obviously trying to carry the shells conveniently. Not far from the shells, there was a military tent with a tall triangular antenna outside the tent, and an artillery commander with the rank of lieutenant was constantly shouting to the artillerymen operating the two heavy guns to adjust the target of the heavy artillery according to the coordinates reported by the signal corps in the tent.

Hou Liang, the leader of the special operations team, took out a 16x military telescope and lay on the ground to carefully observe the heavy artillery position of the entire Kwantung Army, and then discussed in a low voice with the sniper lying beside him: "You stay for a while, while the little devil is firing artillery, with the help of the sound of artillery as a cover, first eliminate those two sentries!" ”

Then Hou Liang summoned the rest of the team members, and after discussing in a low voice, they each formed a formation and approached the heavy artillery position of the Kwantung Army silently. The two heavy guns were firing at an interval of about 30 seconds because they were attacking different targets at different coordinates. At the moment when the heavy gun on the left let out a deafening roar, the special operations team sniper fired two shots in quick succession, killing two sentries in less than a second.

The Japanese artillery, who did not notice any change, was loading the shells, and at the moment when the heavy artillery on the right opened fire, Hou Liang and the others were already less than thirty meters away from the heavy artillery position, without any hesitation, the dragon semi-automatic rifle and the dragon submachine gun spewed out tongues of fire at the same time, and the dense intertwined bullet rain poured down towards the Kwantung Army artillery who was still talking and laughing and operating the heavy artillery and the military tent! The artillery officers and men of the Kwantung Army, who were caught off guard, all fell gloriously in their respective combat posts without exception, and the entire heavy artillery position suddenly became lifeless for a moment. After a sound like the sky was falling, the only heavy artillery position with a larger caliber and a longer range than the Longwei artillery was scrapped.

At this time, Fengtian City had already become a mess, and in the face of the Japanese frenzied attack, Zhang Shaoshuai issued an order not to resist, which was conveyed to Rong Zhen, and then Rong Zhen conveyed it to all departments of the Northeast Army. After receiving the order not to resist from the young marshal himself, most of the officers and men in the northeast who had the mentality of being paid as soldiers threw away their armor from their respective garrisons and fled for their lives in the direction of Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan in the face of the Kwantung Army's attacks in all directions. Seeing the Northeast Army fleeing, the entire Fengtian City was even more panicked and chaotic, looking at some people who were not right, they immediately packed up their families and fled south with the Northeast Army.

The battle in the Beida camp continues, Xu Haiyong is now full of confidence, the only two 240mm caliber heavy guns that pose a threat to him have been reimbursed, and he can show his artillery.

"Order, the whole regiment's 120mm caliber artillery will give me the artillery positions of Little Japan, and the other artillery will fire on their own, give me a damn bang! Let little Japan also taste the taste of being bombed! ”

In an instant, the artillery of the Dragon Guard, which had been on standby for a long time, began to exert its might. 10 120mm heavy guns of the 93rd Regiment of the Longjiu Division of the Dragon Guard Army took the lead in firing, and after only two volleys, all the artillery positions of the Shimamoto Brigade of the Independent Garrison of the Japanese Kwantung Army were razed to the ground. The 75mm rapid-fire guns, 105mm caliber artillery, mountain artillery, and mortars of the 93rd Regiment opened fire at the same time, and the shells flying in the air fell in the middle of the Japanese army like scattered flowers, and the roaring explosions and terrible screams sounded from time to time.

The Japanese were beaten, completely blinded! When have they ever seen such a battle of artillery attacks, that is, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian army, which has always believed in artillery doctrine, did not have such a powerful firepower configuration. The firepower of both sides is not at all on the same level. After several rounds of shelling, the Shimamoto Brigade of the Independent Garrison was also disabled.

With the extension of the artillery fire of the Dragon Guard, Wang Tiehan, who was suffering from the artillery fire, seized the fighter plane and ordered the trumpet to blow the charge, and personally led his troops to launch a counter-charge against the remnants of the Shimamoto brigade, which had been blown up.

The officers and men of the 93rd Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Dragon Ninth Division, who had long been instructed by Mu Han not to easily engage in bayonet fighting with the Japanese soldiers, under Xu Haiyong's order, kept spraying rounds of dense bullets with dragon-style semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, which made the soldiers of the Kwantung Army who were full of bushido spirit and ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat scream one by one.

The two sides fanned out to the west and the south to encircle the remnants of the Shimamoto Brigade. The battle became white-hot at this moment, and the remnants of Shimamoto's brigade were torn apart by the officers and soldiers of Wang Tiehan's 620 Regiment, who had less than 800 people left.

Looking at the melee between the two sides, Xu Haiyong shook his head, the combat strength of the Northeast Army was still not far behind that of Little Japan, and he saw that two or three soldiers of the Northeast Army could only be rivaled by a small Japan.

"Brothers, let Little Japan see the fight of our Dragon Guard!" In order to avoid accidentally injuring friendly troops, Xu Haiyong also ordered the 93rd Regiment of the Longjiu Division to enter the white-knuckle battle.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The Dragon Guard warriors, who have long had itchy hands, have joined the battle group. I saw that the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army were in groups of three, each other's horns, and the wheels were crushing the Japanese soldiers. You must know that the fighting technique of the Long Wei Army was refined and pointed out by Mu Han with reference to the technology of the Z* team in later generations and several martial arts masters in Wolong Mountain. Soon, the wind and clouds were whirling, and the remnants of Shimamoto's brigade were completely wiped out.

Xu Haiyong and Wang Tiehan, who gathered from the west and south, clasped their hands tightly, "Deputy Commander Xu, thank you for your great kindness, the 620 regiment survived, thanks to your righteousness!" Wang Tiehan, who escaped death, was filled with emotion for a while, "Deputy Head Xu, I have a few questions that I don't know if to talk about or not?" ”

Xu Haiyong said in his heart: It's still here. But the matter has come to this point, there is no need to hide it, and he immediately said: "Head Wang, please speak!"

"Well, Wang is quick to talk, then let's put it bluntly, where did the first noble department get so many artillery? Second, the combat effectiveness of your unit has always been the best in the whole brigade, but how come the fighting technique just now has never been seen before? Thirdly, it seems that your ministry has long been aware of the dynamics of the Japanese and has made full preparations in advance, where does the information come from! Wang Tiehan wiped the blood stains on his body with his hand and said hurriedly.

Xu Haiyong was silent for a moment, straightened out his thoughts, and asked softly: "I don't know what Commander Wang thinks of Zhang Shaoshuai's order?" ”

Seeing Xu Haiyong's answer to the question, Wang Tiehan's heart moved slightly, "Although I am under the rule of Zhang Shaoshuai, I am also paid by the Northeast Army, but I am a pure soldier, and the mission of a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country. ”

"Good! Wang Tuan Changyi, Xu also said bluntly, in fact, I am Commander Mu's person, and all the preparations of my regiment are aimed at the Japanese, and they started planning as early as 3 years ago! Xu Haiyong said unhurriedly.

"Huh? Commander Mu? Which Commander Mu? Wang Tiehan's mouth opened wide.

"The actual controller of the two provinces of Gansu and Ning, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Security secretly appointed by the Nationalist Government, Mu Han, commander-in-chief! ~" Xu Haiyong replied softly.

"Could it be that Commander-in-Chief Mu wants to put his hand in the northeast?"

Xu Haiyong smiled slightly and stretched out three fingers, "Three days, we will naturally see after three days!" ”

Lieutenant General Mori Lian, commander of the independent garrison of the South Manchurian Railway, was dumbfounded when he received a farewell message from the Shimamoto brigade. Ishihara, who had received telegrams for help in a row, was also stupid. Shigeru Honjo, who learned that the two garrison brigades had been reimbursed in full, was even more dumbfounded.

The 12,000 officers and men of the entire Seventh Brigade, except for some officers and men who obeyed the order to evacuate Mukden and flee in the direction of Jinzhou, the rest of the forces seemed to have doubled their combat strength overnight, and they actually wiped out two garrison brigades in half a day, which is simply inconceivable.

However, although the battle situation in Mukden was extremely unfavorable for the Kwantung Army, it was possible to attack the 3rd Brigade of the Independent Garrison Brigade at Yingkou and the 4th Brigade to attack Phoenix and Andong; The battle situation in the six places where the main force of the 3rd Brigade of the 2nd Division, the 2nd Cavalry Wing, and the 1st Independent Garrison Brigade, which respectively attacked Changchun Kuanchengzi, Erdaogou, Nanling, and other places, was unusually smooth, and the performance of the Northeast Army was completely in line with Ishihara's previous judgment.

However, to the surprise of Shigeru Honjo, Ishihara Wanji, Itagaki Seishiro and others, the main force of the Second Division of the Kwantung Army, the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Garrison Brigade, the 5th Brigade and the 6th Brigade were very unexpectedly attacked by local bandits when they were attacking through Motianling, Erlongshan, Dalianzigou, Laohudong and other places. After the explosion, those cunning bandits took advantage of the favorable terrain to fire a few rounds of cold guns, and immediately retreated, without entanglement, which made the Japanese troops in a hurry feel that some cannons hit mosquitoes and foxes bite hedgehogs. Although the casualties were not large, they greatly slowed down the attack.

In the war room of the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Arthur.

"Your Excellency Commander, the situation in the northern camp of Fengtian has caused a lot of trouble to our plans, but the whole situation is still under our control!" The destruction of the two brigades of Oshima and Shimamoto made Ishihara have an ominous premonition, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only stand up, "Our troops attacking Yingkou, Phoenix City, Andong, Changchun Kuanchengzi, Erdaogou, and Nanling have a smooth and abnormal battle situation with a small number of enemies, which is enough to prove that our original plan is not wrong. ”

"What Ishihara-kun said is good, but the combat effectiveness of the Beidaying and Sayamazuiko Shina armies seems to be ridiculously strong, how can this be explained? My two independent garrison brigades were eaten before they arrived for half a day, which is unbelievable! Honjo Shigeru's triangular eyes stared at Ishihara Wan'er gloomily, "Now that only Yukihiro Hirata's 2nd Wing is left on the outskirts of Fengtian City, can they hold on until the arrival of the main force of the Liaoyang Second Division?" ”

"Since the Northeast Army has so much artillery, in order to take Mukden as soon as possible, we can only hope for the flying wing sent by General Lin Miichiro of the Korean garrison!" Seishiro Itagaki said with a cautious expression.

"Then send another telegram to urge General Hayashi Ichiro!" Honjo said a little lonely.
