Chapter 152: The Battle of Fengtian (End)

The wind is less, and the weather is not so permeating. It's easy to run, and of course, there's another more important reason!

At the beginning, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs in order to capture Fengtian City, bringing six or seven thousand casualties to the Fengtian defenders, and so many people were killed in one day.

On the artillery position, the artillery group roared one after another. But at this time, boxes of other ammunition were brought up - poison gas bombs!

"Grenades and gas bombs are used alternately, try not to let the Japanese people notice!" Xiao Weiguo smiled, he likes Jiang Li's temperament, and if there is revenge, he will take revenge! The words written by a few people in those propaganda newspapers to repay grievances with virtue are all bullshit, and it is not his people who died, and the anti-Japanese army is to be more ruthless than the Japanese, tooth for tooth, blood for blood!

Woohoo..........

A large number of shells smashed into Mukden City as before. In the violent explosion, some shells fell to the ground and disappeared, only releasing some gas. The darkness of the night, as well as the large number of exploding shells, as well as the psychology of the Japanese army's eagerness to occupy Mukden City, gave these gas bombs the best cover. Zhang Zuolin did not buy as many gas bombs as Jiang Li boasted, only less than 3,000 rounds. With the speed of these guns reaching more than ten rounds per minute, even if they fire gas bombs intermittently, it is only a matter of ten minutes.

As the shells fell on the dilapidated Fengtian City, more and more Zhao Duo's poisonous gas was emitted.

"What does it smell like?" The commander of the 10th Division, Nishi Yoshiichi, who personally led the team into the city, and the commander of the 39th Mixed Brigade, Kamifu Ueno, and others all smelled this smell.

"Baga, it's poisonous gas. The people of China used gas bombs! Fast. Drop quickly. All retreat! Immediately notify Your Excellency the Commander and equip your gas mask immediately. Stop sending more troops to Fengtian City! Ueno Kamefu was the first to react, and his face was extremely hideous in the firelight.

"Hay!" Because the Japanese army was advancing too fast, and it was at night, it was extremely troublesome to transmit information at this time, and it could only be notified manually. Fortunately, most of the things in the Ueno Kamefu Brigade Headquarters were spare, and when he found a few gas masks, Ueno Kamefu sighed heavily after putting them on. I held it back for too long.

Most of the senior officers, brigades, regimental headquarters, and wing headquarters have a certain entourage, and the things are complete, and the soldiers below are even short of cold-proof equipment, who wants to wear a gas mask all day long in this kind of ghost weather, not even wearing enough clothes, and shivering all day long?

Although there were a lot of gas masks prepared during the Muto Nobuyoshi period, it was similar to the situation of the Mukden defenders, and it was a complete drag to fight with this thing. But in the current situation, the absence of poison gas bombs is a flaw that can be fatal.

"This shot is cool. Roll the mat and cover, let's go! Xiao Weiguo laughed. Some of the shells were left, and there were tens of thousands of horses supported by Li Du, which was enough to pull away quite a few things.

At this time, the main force of Jiang Li's 7th Brigade, Zhao Yi, Zhang Zhibang, and Feng Zhanhai, totaling nearly 50,000 people, retreated westward.

In front of me is a sea of torches, dancing on the vast snowfield.

"Brothers, look behind you, this city of Mukden under the cover of night has been destroyed by the flames of war! This used to be our homeland, we fought with the Japanese army here for more than 100 days and nights, blocking more than 100,000 Japanese troops from entering. Now we are leaving, not to retreat, not to be afraid of war, today's retreat is to come up with a better and stronger counterattack in the future. One day, I will bring you back and rebuild Mukden on this ruins and reshape China! ”

Jiang Li roared loudly on the horse's back, turned the horse's head, and galloped away in the road made of torches.

"One day we will fight back, rebuild Fengtian, and reshape China!" Feng Zhanhai and the others' eyes were full of determination, and although the commander in their sight who had already whipped to the west was young, his image was already like a towering mountain, which made people look up, and they couldn't help but follow with life and death because of these bloody words.

A long fiery dragon travels through the snow, in the west, in hope. What remains behind is the ruins of a place, the poisonous gas, the cold darkness, and the screaming Fengtian City, and let those damned Japanese soldiers bear these troubles.

The wailing continued until dawn, and the wounded soldiers who had not died of poisoning, but had lost the ability to continue fighting, and the Japanese had to spend more energy to take care of the wounded soldiers, became a burden on Matsui Ishone.

was tricked again, Matsui Ishine hated Jiang Li like never before, but he had no way to take Jiang Li, when the Japanese army was overcoming the winter and there was no railway, the situation had begun to return to the control of the Japanese army. You can eat these Zhina army little by little, although the Fengtian arsenal is quite full of ammunition, there will always be a day when the battle will be finished, but who would have thought that Jiang Li would retreat directly after taking advantage of it, and even if he retreated, he even gave him a slap in the face before leaving.

Although the shelling of the Shina Army brought some casualties to the Japanese army, it was not the most serious, and what really made Matsui Ishine's heart twitch was that the poison gas directly caused 6,167 deaths and 7,631 people were poisoned of different shades. With those who were wounded in battle and frostbitten lying in the sick camp and needed to be cared for, at this time there were not a few intact houses in Fengtian City, and there were not many people to be accommodated at all, and the marching tents were full of people, which was still far from enough, and even some people had to go out into the field in this weather. The number of soldiers who died of poisoning will continue to rise, and it is ironic that in just a few months since September 18, the direct death of the Japanese army has almost caught up with the Russo-Japanese War.

"What advice does Okamura-kun have for the endgame that follows?" Matsui Ishine looked at Okamura Ninji, who also looked bad, and asked.

"Because of this war, the coal and food that the empire urgently needed were cut off, and the supply of steel was also greatly affected. The top priority at the moment was to restore the supply of resources to the empire in the northeastern part of China, so as to achieve the goal of feeding the war with war. Okamura Ninji took a deep breath and was toyed with by Jiang Li several times to applaud, this taste is not pleasant, but this is also self-inflicted, if it is not for the Japanese army to use poison gas bombs first, the possibility of the people of China taking the lead in using gas bombs is very small.

"In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to further increase the number of troops in the northeastern part of China. Stabilize the two lines of Dandong, Lushun to Fengtian. In addition, the Nanman Co., Ltd. immediately organized the mining area and the reconstruction of the railway, and sent another large army to the north. ”

"This time, the empire's losses are too serious, and in the case of more stringent logistics, I am afraid that it will face a greater problem if we send troops north." Matsui Ishine said with a frown. It was this battle of Mukden, and the poor logistics also made these commanders extremely big, not to mention that the reconstruction work also had to send troops to protect, and they also had to divide troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese guerrillas in Fengtian, and then send a large army to the north.

"Your Excellency, Commander, attrition is a headache at the base camp. We now just need to think about how to completely digest Northeast China in the shortest possible time. If we don't send troops north as soon as possible to show the resolute attitude of the empire in the entire northeast, those Chinese armies that originally fell to the empire will change their positions because of this, and even the forces of the Soviet Union may further penetrate into the northeast! ”

"Soviet Union!" A dangerous glint flashed on Matsui Ishone's face, if the Soviet Union intervened in the situation in the northeast, and there was the convenience of the Middle East Road, it was indeed quite tricky, considering the attitude of the Soviet Union, it was indeed worth considering gritting its teeth and heading north.
