"Damn, the people of China dared to come out and take the initiative to attack during the day, it seems that the success of their defensive battle made them a little too carried away, thinking that they could provoke the imperial army head-on."

Muto Nobuyoshi slammed his fist on the table, his face could not hide his anger, these days he has attacked Fengtian City and lost his troops, and the number of direct casualties has exceeded nine thousand, and the number of light and serious wounded has reached an astonishing more than five thousand, although the light injuries are not in the line of fire, but there are still thousands of seriously wounded people lying in the rear. These are elite Imperial troops,

Fengtian City has military attaches of great powers, and there are even many reporters from great powers.

Following Shigeru Honjo, Muto Nobuyoshi once again tarnished Japan's international reputation. At this time, after replenishment, the number of Japanese troops outside Mukden City once again reached more than 50,000. But on average, more than 1,000 people were killed or wounded, and the rate of casualties was staggering.

"For the time being, the Chinese army still maintains sufficient air superiority to withdraw the main forces to defensive positions even if the offensive is frustrated.

It's hard for us to inflict a lot of damage on them. ”

Okamura Ninji said in a deep voice.

"But this commander of the Chinese army is extremely difficult, and from the night of September 18 to the present, it can be said that his series of commands are extremely excellent, and it is impossible for any one person to do better than him. It can be said that except for Zhang Xueliang, who was not directly involved in the battle, the northeast of China had created the most unfavorable situation for the empire at this time with Jiang Li's efforts, and it was extremely unrealistic to expect him to make mistakes in command. Muto Nobuyoshi calmly slammed his fist on the table and said, "Since the Shina Army has chosen to carry out a retaliatory counterattack at this time, then we will have a hard fight with the Shina Army to frustrate the spirit of the Shina Army and let them know the fact that the Imperial Army is superior to them." ”

Okamura Ninji nodded, morale is an extremely important thing, it can be said that the reason why the Fengtian defenders were able to play extraordinary results was that in addition to Jiang Li creating the most favorable conditions for the defenders, the series of victories of the Fengtian defenders since the 918 Incident also created their understanding of the Japanese army. There was no fear of the Japanese army in my heart.

There is even a feeling that the Japanese army is nothing more than this, and in the face of the Japanese army, ten percent of the combat power can be exerted twelve percent. And like Zhang Xueliang's headquarters soldiers and horses,

Under the emotion of fear from top to bottom,

Ten percent of the ability can play at most seven or eight percent, and it's not bad.

Like the tragic white-knuckle battle at the No. 5 position last night, if it was replaced by any other branch army, Okamura Ningji felt that the other party could not support it, but the men and horses brought out by Jiang Li gritted their teeth and finally drove the Japanese army out of the position. Okamura Ninji also felt that it was necessary to fundamentally defeat the spirit of the Shina army, otherwise this spirit would be allowed to grow.

It was extremely unfavorable for the future war between the empire and the Chinese army.

"In addition, there is more favorable news, the intelligence officer of the special high school just codenamed Black Cat has sent a message that the Chinese army has successfully built two airfields. However, the aviation gasoline of the Chinese army was reserved according to 50 aircraft, during this period since entering the war, Zhang Xueliang purchased more than 40 aircraft from the Czech Republic to form and assemble in batches, but the large increase in the number of aircraft, but also caused the consumption of aviation gasoline to increase at a very fast speed, from the frequency of the Chinese army aircraft in recent days, it seems that the aviation gasoline of the Chinese army is likely to be tight, and the empire will be completed one after another in Benxi, Dagou Township and other places to build the airport, at this time the humble position believes that on the one hand, it is necessary to let BeipingOn the other hand, it is necessary to prevent the Chinese army from sabotaging the airfields built by the empire. ”

"Well, I'll contact the special high class on this point,

The information provided by Okamura-kun is extremely important. Muto Nobuyoshi nodded, although Okamura Ninji is still only a deputy staff officer, but the importance has surpassed his chief of staff, this time to enter the northeast, Muto Nobuyoshi is very dependent on this assistant.

"Quick, speed up, we must reinforce the 39 mixed brigade before the retreat of the China Army, and deal a severe blow to the China Army!" Ozawa led an infantry wing and an infantry brigade to the independent 39th mixed brigade defense area.

At this time, the 39 mixed brigade will never reach the point of exhaustion for a while, after all, forty or fifty thousand Japanese troops are piled up outside Mukden City, with Muto Nobuyoshi and Okamura Ningji's caution, there will never be any big loopholes for Jiang Lizuan. The Japanese had ample time to support the 39 Mixed Brigade.

Even the wise can make mistakes. Even Jiang Li didn't expect that a lot of fuel was consumed at Dongta Airport, and the accumulation of aviation gasoline was not optimistic enough, so Jiang Li had to urgently purchase fuel through Charlie, and urgently arranged personnel to go to Beiping, Tianjin, and even Shanghai to buy gasoline. The quality of the heavy oil extracted from shale oil at the Fushun Japanese shale oil refinery is not very good, but when the Fushun heavy oil factory was occupied, the heavy oil was obtained by several thousand tons, and as for the gasoline, there was not a single drop. In addition to purchasing gasoline, Jiang Li also asked Charlie to help buy a batch of oil production wells, as well as new equipment for oil refining, which is regarded as a remedy, at this time it is undoubtedly very difficult to transport goods from Fengtian City to Shaanxi, but later go to Shaanxi, the Japanese occupy the northeast, and it will only be more difficult to transport these materials to it.

Even so, at this time dozens of cannons,

In addition, the dozen bombers that appeared in the sky over the 39 mixed brigade were enough for the 39 mixed brigade to drink a pot.

The explosions came one after another, and although the power of the heavy artillery shells was great, it was on the point, while the mortars of the Mukden defenders were acting on the surface. THE 150MM MORTAR ALSO PLAYED A SUFFICIENT ROLE IN DESTROYING THE IMPROVISED FORTIFICATIONS THAT THE JAPANESE ARMY REPAIRED IN A SHORT TIME.

At this time, the mortar factory was still increasing its horsepower for production, and in the past, because of the lack of funds, the Fengtian Arsenal usually could start work for seven or eight hours a day, and even in order to subsidize the use of the arsenal,

Zhang Xueliang also asked the arsenal to produce some civilian utensils, basins, ironware, buckets, and the like, and at this time, the mortar factory was working day and night in several shifts. In more than half a month, more than 26,000 rounds of various types were produced. Compared with the air supremacy at this time, in terms of the replenishment of artillery shells, the defenders of Fengtian City have an absolute advantage in terms of both numbers and transportation distances. After the Japanese launched a fierce attack, they had to weaken the attack for two days, just to wait for enough ammunition to be transported in the rear.

Relatively speaking, this way of feeding shells is open,

It has also made the quality of Fengtian City's artillery improve rapidly.

There was a sound of mortar strikes, and in just one and a half hours, there were two gaps in the first line of defense, and the opposing Chinese army did not seem to have the intention of directly rushing in for a white-knuckle battle, but took advantage of the advantage in firepower to plow the position of the 39th mixed brigade with shells back and forth over and over again.

Putting down the binoculars, Ueno Kamefu's face was ugly for a while,

He had no way to deal with the situation in front of him that was suppressed by the Chinese army, and he was inferior to others, so he could only wait patiently for the arrival of reinforcements.
