In fact, the killing and wounding of poison gas bombs was still beyond Jiang Li's expectations, the Japanese army fired at least thousands of poison gas bombs, bringing more than 4,360 dead and 2,127 wounded to the defenders, and more than 6,000 casualties.

Jiang Li, who was already extremely angry, was like water that night, but Zhao Yi, Wang Zhiyou and others present all felt Jiang Li's anger, but with Jiang Li's understanding, Jiang Li was also extremely cautious in using troops in the case of anger. At the same time that the defenders suffered huge losses that night, in view of the great losses suffered by the Japanese in the daytime shelling, Jiang Li personally commanded a brigade of more than 5,000 men to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.

After a tentative attack, the Japanese army's originally not very fierce firepower declined, which made Jiang Li more and more affirm the fact that the Japanese artillery shells were consumed too much. Immediately, two additional brigades were added to the attacking team, with a total strength of nearly 15,000 troops, with as many as several hundred mortars as the main force, supplemented by some mountain artillery and field artillery, and launched a wave of counteroffensive frenzy in the dark night. The Japanese army did not expect that Jiang Li would be able to organize such a big counterattack immediately after being attacked by poison gas bombs, even if there are still a small number of shells in large-caliber artillery, but the role it can play in the dark night is very limited, not as good as mortars, which have a short range and a rapid rate of fire.

In the middle of the night, the night was almost lit by the fire of the cannonballs. The Japanese barracks, sparse tents were burning. When Jiang Li retreated with his team, the original position of the Japanese army was in ruins.

The casualties also numbered in the thousands. Since the loss of the outer trenches, the defenders have not taken the initiative to take the initiative, and because of this, the Japanese army risked most of the shells, and Jiang Li's surprise attack was like a ferocious right hook punch to the enemy's chin.

The newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Matsui Ishone, was slapped by the defenders of Mukden City before his ass was hot, and at the same time that Matsui Ishone made people quickly count the casualties, the major newspapers in Peking have successively published the news about the Japanese army's violation of the Geneva Convention and the large-scale move to use poison gas bombs in Mukden City, among which the report of American war correspondent Shanna is the most eye-catching.

Shanna's large-scale report on the battle in Mukden has been the object of everyone's attention during this time. This time, when Jiang Li took the telescope a few inches away from his glasses, his expression was as indifferent as ever. In front of Jiang Li was a ruined wall, broken tiles, and corpses on the street, as well as large areas of blood. Burning flames, soldiers marching in the distance,

A battlefield of blood and fire. What was once the first city in the north is now in ruins.

"This is a bloody and tragic war, with more than 300,000 troops on both sides gathered outside the city of Mukden, and at least a hundred thousand people have fallen on this land at this time. The fighting continues. The Japanese reinforcements are more than one day by day, and the Japanese planes are ready to enter the sky over Mukden City at any time to bomb indiscriminately, in such a cruel environment, Commander Jiang will also personally inspect every defense line of Mukden City, I have never seen a general who can understand the battlefield so much, and these understandings are based on the experience of measuring every inch of the city with his feet step by step. Most of the nearly one million people in Fengtian City have been evacuated, but Commander Jiang is still making a final effort for the ownership of Fengtian City. Confronting the whole of Japan with Mukden, this is a war that has already been doomed, and it is a war that makes people desperate, at least I think so, but when I asked Commander Jiang, Commander Jiang smiled and said to me,

It's not despair, it's a new life. My friend and I have always been impressed by Commander Jiang's remark, and the situation in Mukden City has deteriorated dramatically due to the lack of adequate support. I also had to leave Mukden, and before leaving, I asked Commander Jiang to do the last interview, but I never thought about the core idea of the interview. Later, Commander Jiang said something like this to me. ”

"Even if Fengtian City fights to the point of exhaustion, even if this is a war that has long been doomed. Even if there is a hundredfold difference in national strength between China and Japan, I will not regret my current choice, nor will I have any despair because of the lack of support. Although some people still have the hope of taking chances, the cruel fact is that a full-scale war between China and Japan is coming, and Japan will never stop its aggression. Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China has been in a state of fragmentation, with years of civil war. Unification by internal forces alone is protracted. Although the Japanese invasion was the greatest disaster in modern China, it was also the greatest opportunity for China to be reborn from the ashes. The contradictions between China and Japan have overwhelmed all domestic contradictions. The consciousness of the people of the country is under the life and death of life,

will awaken like never before. Sooner or later, those who avoid war will be crushed by the rolling wheels of history and abandoned by the times. Those outstanding people who dare to rise to the occasion and help China in the midst of danger will also be supported by 40,000 people of all countries. ”

"The greatest calamity of China is not the threat of Japanese invaders. The national consciousness has not yet been fully awakened. Once the will of 40,000 nations is gathered. With infinite manpower, thousands of kilometers of east, west, north and south are strategically horizontal.

With Japan alone, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the goal of destroying China. Therefore, even if this defeat is made, even if countless cities will be beaten into ruins like Mukden City, I will not despair, because there will be countless people like the 100,000 soldiers who died in Fengzaicheng, standing up, a new will will rise from the ruins, and the Chinese nation will be reborn as a result, and Japan is just a whetstone for us to rise again, on the way to rise. The battle to defend Mukden is coming to an end, but our resistance will not be interrupted because of this, so the last battle is called the rebirth of the void, which is a new beginning! ”

"100,000 soldiers are buried in Fengtian City, a new life on the ruins! Okay, good, there are still a few pure whites in the Republic of China. ”

Near Tsinghua University, Xiong Dazhen, Wang Dexi and others held the newspaper with indignant expressions, their fists clenched,

I can't be like those warriors,

Pick up the knife and gun to join this war against Japan that the former Republic of China has not seen for decades. "It's just a pity that we have to cross the ocean at this juncture and can't join this big war."

"I heard that this large-scale organization of students to study abroad is also out of Commander Jiang's intention. In the words of Commander Jiang, their respective battlefields are different, the battlefield of the soldiers is on the front line, and our battlefield lies in learning the most cutting-edge knowledge and coming back to arm those soldiers. Wang Dexi also said with a resolute face, when the national disaster is at hand, these students are the most enthusiastic era.

"Then let's go abroad, Commander Jiang is right, what we lack now is the most advanced technology and knowledge. It's just a few years, and I'll come back. Xiong Dazhen nodded and said.
