On August 28, after nightfall, the commander of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army, Masatoshi Matsunaga, led the main force of the 2nd Division of the Japanese Army into Anshan Castle. Although, the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army took Anshan Castle before sunset. However, Masatoshi Matsunaga's face was very ugly.

Because, the 29th Wing actually lost more than 2,500 people in this battle, and the entire wing only had more than 500 people left. The 29th Wing has completely lost its combat effectiveness. Such a price was beyond everyone's expectations.

In the temporary headquarters of the 2nd Division, Masatoshi Matsunaga convened the officers of the 2nd Division for an emergency meeting.

"Gentlemen, it seems that we have all underestimated the Chinese people. The 29th Wing is an elite wing of the Japanese Army. However, fighting with an infantry regiment of the Chinese Army ended up like this. This is really beyond our expectations! Masatoshi Matsunaga said.

The generals present bowed their heads and remained silent. In fact, the tragic situation of the 29th Wing also shocked them. The other three wing commanders were even more glad that it was not their wing that was sent to attack Anshan at that time. Otherwise, the tragic situation of the 29th Wing will be their turn. As for the seriously injured Kazukawa Hengchang Nakasa, it is not good to be their example.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, according to the descriptions of the officers of the 29th Wing, the 11th Infantry Regiment of the China Army was armed with a large number of light artillery and machine guns, so much so that the 29th Wing was hit by the enemy's superior fire during the attack. Despite the heroism of the Empire's samurai, they paid a heavy price in the end. "Said the commander of the 3rd Brigade, Major General Minami Tatsunachi. The 29th Wing, a unit under his brigade, suffered such heavy losses, which made him heartbroken.

Masatoshi Matsunaga's face became more and more ugly, as if he saw that the Russo-Japanese War two years ago was repeated. At the beginning, the Japanese army also braved the intensive firepower of the Russian army in the war, which eventually led to the Japanese army winning the war, but paying more heavy casualties than the Russian army.

"Damn, how can the people of China be compared to the Russians?" Masatoshi Matsunaga scolded secretly, throwing the idea behind him. Russia is one of the great powers, while China is only a weak country.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, I don't think there's anything to be afraid of in the Chinese Army. The reason why the 11th Regiment of the Jilin Army has so many artillery and machine guns must be that the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army concentrated most of the artillery and machine guns to the 11th Regiment. It was by this despicable and shameless way that they inflicted huge losses on the Imperial Army, which was simply a conspiracy. Now that the main forces of the division have arrived, we have more than 70 heavy artillery pieces and field artillery, which will definitely not be worse than the Jilin Army. If we fight with dignity, the people of China are no match for us at all. "Said the commander of the 15th Brigade, Major General Reizou Kawachi.

"Yo Xi, what General Hanoi said is very reasonable, all this is a conspiracy of the Chinese people. The 29th Wing was hit hard by not noticing it for a while. Now that the main forces of the division have arrived, the people of China are not our opponents at all. A smile appeared on Masatoshi Matsunaga's face. It must be so, he thinks. Otherwise, how could the cowardly Shina people inflict such heavy casualties on the Japanese Army?

The other officers also nodded in agreement. They will absolutely not admit that the Japanese Army is no match for the Jilin Army, and this is completely unscientific. The Japanese Army is the world's largest army, while the Jilin Army is just a local warlord in China. The gap between the two is like a world of difference, and it cannot be bridged.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, how are we going to report the battle situation to the War Department?" The chief of staff of the 2nd Division, Ikuta Meshin Osa, asked.

"It was reported that after a hard battle, the 29th Wing inflicted heavy losses on the 11th Infantry Regiment of the Jilin Army. The 29th Wing also suffered heavy losses under the enemy's superior firepower. In addition, the wounded officers and soldiers such as Yoshikawa Hengchang Nakasa should be sent back to Japan for medical treatment. Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga said.

The battle had just begun, and the Japanese army could never admit that they had suffered heavy losses, otherwise it would have had a great impact on the morale of the troops. What's more, if the country knew that the Second Division had actually lost a battle, it would definitely cause an uproar. When the time comes, he, the commander of the division, will inevitably fall into trouble.

"Hi, Your Excellency Division Commander!" Ikutameshin nodded.

Other generals and officers expressed support for Lieutenant General Matsunaga's decision. After all, it would be a great shame for them to admit defeat in this way.

"Let the troops rest for one night, and tomorrow morning, the 15th Brigade will launch an attack, cross the Shahe River, capture Liaoyang in one fell swoop, and eliminate the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army." Lieutenant General Masatoshi Matsunaga said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." All the generals and officers said in unison.

At this moment, the commander of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army and Chuan Hengchang Nakasa, who fell into a coma, would never have expected that his fate would change so much. Originally, he thought that because of the defeat in the battle, even if he would not cut his stomach, he would definitely be tried by a military court. As a result, he was sent home as a warrior who fought valiantly in battle and was then seriously wounded. When he recovered from his injury, not only was he not held responsible, but he was also promoted, from Zhongzuo to Dazuo.

Similarly, in Liaoyang City, the 1st Infantry Division of the Jilin Army was also celebrating its victory. With less than 300 casualties, the 11th Infantry Regiment inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese 29th Wing, essentially losing its combat effectiveness. Such a victory undoubtedly gave the 1st Infantry Division a good start!

Under the orders of the division commander, Major General Shi Deshan, the whole division learned of the victory of the 11th Infantry Regiment. This suddenly made the whole division beaming, and the original fear and worry about the Japanese army also disappeared.

The soldiers all believed that there was nothing to fear from the Japanese army. The same people will bleed, and after being hit by a bullet, they will also die. The Japanese army was not invincible, at least the 11th Infantry Regiment relied on its strong firepower to inflict great heavy losses on the Japanese, and its own casualties were only one-tenth of that of the Japanese army (the 1st Infantry Division advertised that more than 3,000 people of the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army had been wiped out). If this is calculated, wouldn't it be enough to defeat tens of thousands of Japanese troops with the strength of the 1st Infantry Division? Not to mention that there is only one division of the Japanese army that is attacking now.

It is necessary to raise the morale of the troops when the big war is approaching. Originally, the officers and men of the 1st Infantry Division had a fear of the Japanese army. After all, the people of Tohoku have experienced the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and they can be said to have watched the rise of Japan with their eyes open. The two wars made the Japanese Army brilliant. Although, in the glory of the Japanese army, there is the blood of the Chinese. However, this was enough to make the officers and soldiers of the Jilin Army afraid.

But now, the myth of the invincibility of the Japanese army seems to have been shattered. Since the 11th Infantry Regiment was able to inflict heavy losses on a wing of the Japanese army at a small cost. So, shouldn't other troops also have such strength? The Japanese 2nd Division was only four infantry wings. Already a wing has been battered and incapacitated. Well, the remaining three wings, one regiment to solve one.

Many officers are optimistic about the next battle.

In the camp of the Jilin Army instructor, Wu Haoxuan received two telegrams one after another. The first telegram was sent from Shengjing. Major General Zhao Xifu and others reported that they had taken Shengjing City. Zhang Yuting committed suicide before Wu Xingquan arrived. After Wu Xingquan learned of this situation, he did not stay in Shengjing City and returned to Jilin overnight.

"Zhang Yuting actually committed suicide, it seems that his little butterfly has really changed history." Wu Haoxuan muttered.

The original king of the Northeast has died, so their Wu family will undoubtedly replace Zhang Yuting and become the new king of the Northeast. The destiny of the entire Northeast and even the country and the nation will henceforth embark on another path of development. Judging from the current situation, Wu Haoxuan thinks that he has done a good job. However, whether you can successfully realize your wishes in the next depends on the subsequent development.

"Young Marshal, this is a telegram from General Shi of the 1st Division." Li Yanling handed a telegram to Wu Haoxuan.

"Well, just put it here, you can go and rest early." Wu Haoxuan nodded.

"I'm not sleepy, I'll sleep when you're resting." Li Yanling shook her head. She is used to staying by Wu Haoxuan's side, and originally, she has a good impression of Wu Haoxuan. These days, this goodwill has evolved into admiration.

Wu Haoxuan opened the telegram and saw that Major General Shi Deshan described the phenomenon of the 11th Regiment fighting with the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army, and claimed that the 1st Infantry Division seemed to have enough strength to defeat the Japanese 2nd Division.

Wu Haoxuan was also very happy that the 11th Regiment was able to inflict heavy damage on the 29th Wing of the Japanese Army. At least it can be seen that he insisted on increasing the firepower of the troops, which was the right choice. When the quality of the soldiers cannot be compared with the Japanese army, it is undoubtedly a good way to make up for it by increasing the firepower.

However, Wu Haoxuan didn't want the 1st Infantry Division to be too optimistic. If you underestimate the enemy, you will suffer a big loss in the next battle. The Japanese army was able to defeat the Russians, how could it not have two brushes?

"Call General Shi back and tell him that I already know about the victory of the 11th Infantry Regiment. In addition, General Shi was asked not to underestimate the enemy, and he must be cautious, the Japanese are not so easy to deal with. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, young marshal!" Li Yanling nodded and immediately went to send a telegram.
