It was a little dark, and in September, the weather on Mukden's side had begun to turn cooler, but most of the soldiers were sweating on their foreheads. They have never experienced such an intense battle, compared to the Japanese army on the opposite side, the 7th Brigade at this time is more calm, which is a direct benefit of the superiority of troops, most of the soldiers of the 7th Brigade are so tired that they fall asleep at night, and the rumbling artillery fire outside can not affect their sleepiness, these soldiers are too tired, and they have not slept well since the outbreak of the 918 incident. At this time, the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade was incorporated into the battlefield directly, and the 7th Brigade was able to breathe a little breath.

However, the main force of the Kwantung Army on the opposite side could not rest, and the disadvantage on the battlefield made the soldiers everywhere exhausted, and more importantly, after a few days of hard fighting, the troops on the opposite side suffered a lot of losses, but Ben Fanzhuang's face turned even darker, and only 3 of the 12 105MM cannon guns brought over so far remained, and only 17 of the 75MM caliber mountain guns belonging to the division and regiment remained.

Honjo didn't know that after the opposite branch of the Chinese army was incorporated into the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade, it suffered a lot of losses due to battle damage, but most of the artillery at this time returned to the level of the engagement, and even surpassed the 72 guns when it was first put into the battlefield in the 75MM mountain artillery and field artillery, reaching an astonishing 75.

What made Honjo even more upset was that the Shina army actually blew up the railway to the west of Fengcheng first, causing the Korean reinforcements to arrive at the Mukden battlefield a few days later than originally planned. At present, the main force of the Kwantung Army is almost exhausted, and the ammunition is still available for a while, but there is no place to replenish the consumption of heavy weapons, and there is no place to treat the wounded and sick.

More importantly, the main force of the Kwantung Army, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage in firepower, suffered a large number of casualties at this time, plummeting to less than 7,000 people, and all the lightly wounded did not get off the line of fire, and there was simply not enough troops to replenish for a while. The current situation is desperate, and in addition to struggling to support, Honjo Shigeru can't even think of any other way out, and even Anshan, Honjo Shigeru doesn't have the extra energy to send troops to take it back.

"Kick kick ... The person who came was Ishida Nakasa, whom he had always valued.

"Your Excellency Commander, I request that you lead troops to raid the artillery position of the Chinese Army in Baitabao Town tonight!" Shichiro Ishida's tired eyes lit with flames.

"Ishida-kun, our army is now seriously understaffed, and the original positions are overstretched, how can we once again draw enough troops to counterattack the Chinese army." Honjo shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the strength of the Chinese Army is increasing, although a considerable part of the military quality is not high, but the 7th Brigade is enough to clamp down on our army, at this time, if we do not take advantage of the new army into the battlefield to deal a major blow to the artillery of the Chinese Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to withstand the powerful offensive of the Chinese Army on the front line, not to mention that the Chinese Army has now occupied Anshan, if the 7th Brigade from the rear flank and the front to copy our army's position, the consequences are unimaginable, here and now, I can only take a risk, I ask to personally lead the troops forward." Tada Shichiro said with a resolute face, the firepower of the Shina army is too fierce, and in just a few days, nearly 20,000 shells have been poured over their heads, not counting the aerial bombs dropped from the sky, which is more than four times the counterattack of the Japanese army. This is also the main reason why the 7th Brigade was able to quickly encircle and annihilate two Japanese infantry brigades. Once you fall into the encirclement, facing the overwhelming artillery, it is simply inhuman torture.

Shichiro Ishida didn't know why the Shina Army, with such a fierce offensive method, was evaluated as a weak army by the secret service. What Tada Shichiro didn't know was that the more than 20,000 rounds of artillery shells consumed in this big battle were only one-twenty-fifth compared to the more than 50 thousand rounds in stock. And Jiang Li never thought of transporting all these shells to northern Shaanxi. It is enough to leave some that must be used, and it will be more convenient to rebuild the rest after arriving in northern Shaanxi.

Honzhuang sat on the ground depressedly, and the Fengtian defenders on the opposite side maintained a strong offensive against the main force of the Kwantung Army at the same time, they still had the spare strength to run for more than two hundred and dozens of miles, and take the county seat of Anshan, although the county seat of Anshan has been almost exhausted, but there are also seventy or eighty garrison police, plus the soldiers in the township, as well as the employees of the Manchurian Railway, nearly two thousand people, according to the city to defend, by no means four or five hundred that army can be taken in a short time.

That is to say, the strength of the Chinese army that came up from behind was at least about 1,000 people, and it also carried a certain number of heavy weapons. If it is really as Ishida Shichiro said, the consequences of the main force of the Kwantung Army are really worrying.

"Okay, life and death are here to fight, it is impossible for the 39 mixed brigade on the North Korean side to arrive within two or three days, counting the time, the other side will come with enough baggage, at least in five days or a week." Honjo said with a frenzied wave of his hand.

"Then we will have no room for hesitation, we can't count on reinforcements, so we can only earn a way by ourselves." Tada Shichiro's face was crazy, as a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, even if he died, he would have to make the opposite Shina army pay a considerable price.

The addition of the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade also made Tada Shichiro keenly aware of the decline in the quality of the army on the opposite side, and if he could bite the tail of the Japanese army several times, he would definitely be able to tear off a piece of meat from the Japanese army, but how could the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade, which had never experienced such a fierce battlefield, grasp the fleeting fighter?

For this reason, that night, Ishida Shichiro, with the approval of Honjo Shigeru, took advantage of the cover of night to draw 500 troops, as well as a certain number of grenadiers, grenades, and a small number of anti-aircraft guns to the front line of the White Castle Tachina Army, which had relatively few troops and did not perform well during the day.

Bang bang...

The soldiers who were under martial law in front were quickly killed by the Japanese army's accurate marksmen with a single shot from the faint light of the fire, and the piercing gunfire caused the area around the White Fort Tower to quickly become noisy.

"Damn, the Japanese army is coming, get up, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, get up!" A few veterans of the original 7th Brigade kicked the guys from the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade next to them, and for Xu Ruiwen, the performance of these guys from the 2nd Provincial Defense Brigade was simply terrible. It's not much stronger than some recruits, I really don't know how Zhang Haipeng's bastard could bring out such a bad soldier.

Xu Ruiwen kicked the soldiers' buttocks a few times, fortunately he slept in his clothes, and the gun was placed next to him, otherwise by the time these soldiers got dressed, it was estimated that the Japanese army would have already killed them.

"Where, where, where is the Japanese army?" A few soldiers said with a little panic.

"Shut up, if you don't want to die, be quiet with Lao Tzu. Zhang Laosan, hurry up, machine gun, set up! ”
