"There is no way to do it like this right now. www.biquge.info Let's fight like this first, let's fight like this first, we have such heavy casualties, and the little devils down there are no better, I believe they are also burning their butts now, and the ammunition consumed these days alone is astronomical, which is enough for them to drink a pot. Now it's up to us to see which of us can hold out first. As long as we hold back the Japanese army here, then the troops from other areas will be able to successfully attack the Japanese army. ”

"And judging from the fact that the devil's attacks have been getting bigger and bigger in the past two days, I estimate that the battle situation is almost clear. Although the number of Japanese puppet troops on the Jiamusi side is large, we don't have a numerical advantage, but the little devils don't dare to transfer all of them at all, after all, there is a column of troops active there, and the devils also have to defend against the people in Jiangbei, and the little devils should be almost out of breath in the future. ”

Ding Sheng's judgment was not wrong, in the other armies marched rapidly, only the Fourth Division was blocked under the Fengxiang Fortress, which made the pressure on Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwen, the commander of the Fourth Division, to be more and more intense. After the fierce fighting these days, the independent third division of Fengxiang Fortress paid nearly 4,000 people, and the fourth division under the mountain was not much better. Despite the cover of heavy artillery and tanks, on the first day of the battle, the Ninth Division suffered nearly 1,800 casualties, and the puppet army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the comparison between the two sides was 1 to 2.5.

Taking a heavy artillery attack, for Yamashita Fengwen is also a helpless move, these days of confrontation, so that the Fourth Division suffered heavy casualties, none of the brigade in his hands is a full brigade, the number of more than 700 people, most of the rest are two or three hundred people, the camp is full of wounded, and the continuous shelling is not a good thing for Yamashita Fengwen, after all, every shell is money, just these days of shells consumed, can be worth a year of military expenses of the Fourth Division, this kind of moneyless sending, It was very wasteful, not to mention that the cannonballs were countless and did not achieve any favorable effect, which made Yamashita Fengfu very depressed.

However, as far as Yamashita and his Fourth Division are concerned, there is no way to determine the ownership of almost every position under the repeated urging of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, in the face of the stubborn resistance of the opponent, and almost every position has to be repeatedly contested before the ownership can be determined.

For the 4th Division, under the fierce firepower of the opponent and this tactical style of play. The casualty ratio of the 4th Division on the first day was much higher than in all its previous operations. Its casualty ratio is large enough to make every commander unforgettable.

On the first day of the attack on the outlying positions of the Fengxiang Fortress alone, more than 270 people were killed, wounded and hungry, and 360 were killed. Among them, the proportion of officers such as small and medium-sized captains killed in battle was as high as 18.

Combined with the battle casualties of the eastern and western fronts of the Fengxiang fortress and the artillery besieging China, the three wings of the 4th Division lost more than 800 killed and more than 900 wounded on the first day. This meant that the 4th Division, which had three wings, lost most of its wing on the first day. And that's the casualties of the first day of fighting.

More than 800 people died on the first day alone. The number of wounded was directly proportional to the number of killed, and in the following battle, Rao was Yamashita Fengwen, who had always said that he was strong-willed, almost cried bitterly, he never thought that he would encounter such a stubborn opponent, let alone that his troops would have such a big loss.

The heavy casualties on the first day were only the beginning of the battle that would later make Yamashita Bongbun feel painful. The next day, despite his reluctance, at the urging of the Kwantung Army Command with a telegram almost every day, Yamashita could only stubbornly continue to launch a frontal offensive that caused huge casualties to the Fourth Division, trying to occupy the high ground around Fengxiang.

It's just that after dawn, whether it was Yamashita Fengwen, who continued to forcibly launch the attack regardless of the casualties on the first day, or Hu Qicai, who defended, they didn't know that this day's battle could be described as the entire Fengxiang offensive and defensive battle. It was also the day that brought the greatest casualties to both sides in the entire battle that lasted for 11 days, and almost all the troops that could be mobilized in their hands were bet on the gambling table paper, and the winner was determined by one game at a time, and in the end, Hu Qicai had a slight advantage, and with the assistance of the artillery division, he defeated the fourth division in one fell swoop.

Lieutenant General Yamashita Fumi, who had been aggravating the average of 2,000 casualties per day these days, had to send a report to the Kwantung Army headquarters requesting a temporary halt to the attack. This report can be described as the first time in the Sino-Japanese battlefield that has been in full swing since the July 7 Incident.

After receiving a telegram from Yamashita to suspend the attack and wait for follow-up reinforcements, General Yamada Otozo can be described as quite dissatisfied, and can even be described as annoyed and angry. How many defenders did the people of China have, but the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has great intelligence work, knows very well that a small Feng Xiang actually dragged down a division of the dignified Japanese Empire, what a ridiculous joke this is, and what makes him even more angry is that this fortress was built by the empire itself, but now it is being used by the people of China to attack them, this is a great irony, if you don't take this fortress, what is the face of the Kwantung Army.

Of course, the battle on the front line of Fengxiang has been fought for six days since the Fourth Division entered the theater. If the intelligence department has not figured out the number of defenders until now, then the imperial intelligence department does not need to exist.

For Yamada Otozo, the opponent in Fengxiang is only the strength of a brigade. He not only did not break the opponent's defense for three days, but because he had suffered a large price of casualties, he took the lead in proposing to stop the attack, which is what the commander of the imperial army division should do, the fourth division really said to others that the combat effectiveness is low, I heard that Yamashita Fengwen took over as the division commander of the fourth division, I thought that it could change the situation of the fourth division in the eyes of outsiders, but I didn't expect to get such a situation.

In less than half a month, the crusade troops were damaged one after another, although the troops marched very fast, and more and more county towns were recovered, but the losses were also not small, the first division paid nearly 4,000 casualties to take the Nahe, the eighth division paid 3,000 casualties to take Helen, the fourth division was heavily damaged, the entire division only left less than one wing, and the more than 70,000 elite troops of the imperial army responsible for encircling and suppressing Yang Jingyu's department did not even touch the figure, and lost more than 4,000 people, and so far in this operation, only the major general has killed two people. There are countless officers below the rank of Dazuo.

For this reason, Yamada Otozo ordered the 4th Division to return to Jiamusi to recuperate, and the commander of the 14th Division of the 14th Division, Lieutenant General Kenji Dohihara, took over the combat mission of Yamashita Fumi. (To be continued.) )
