In a small town southwest of Chaoyang, a group of merchants selling grain were walking out of a restaurant at dusk.

"Master Liu, be careful on the road, it's not safe to walk at night this year, so I will say hello to Boss Wang for me when I get to Chaoyang." The shopkeeper of the restaurant looked at the guy who was setting up the car, and said to a strong man about thirty years old led by him.

"It's okay, go fast, it won't take half of the night to arrive, besides, who are they afraid of a bunch of strong young men?" The strong man said with a smile.

After the politeness, the twenty merchants drove more than a dozen carriages on the road, walked out of more than ten miles, and looked at the wilderness surrounded by no people, Master Liu waved his hand and the convoy stopped, took out an old pocket watch, looked at the time by the light of the horse lamp, and his expression immediately became serious, and then he didn't say anything but waved to the guy behind him.

The guy quickly opened the hidden compartment on the carriage, and then took out a palm-sized black box from it and handed it to Master Liu, who opened it after taking it, pressed the password, and the small black box immediately began to emit radio signals outward.

At this moment, in the sky fifty kilometers away from here, a bright spot appeared on the screen in the hands of a pilot on a flying Junker aunt.

"Target No. 2 appears!" Immediately after he reported his location, the Junkers immediately adjusted its course and flew over, and soon found the airdrop field marked by fire on the ground, the plane dropped in altitude, and then several large wooden boxes with parachutes and light signs were thrown down.

The plane that completed the airdrop immediately turned around and returned, and the shopkeeper Liu on the ground turned off the liaison at the same time, and took his men to quickly carry the wooden box onto the carriage, throw the parachute directly into the fire, and then continue to move forward with the convoy, and arrived outside Chaoyang City at midnight. The convoy went directly into a small courtyard outside the city, and half an hour later, four horse-drawn carriages drove out of the small courtyard and headed straight for the direction of the Japanese military airfield in Chaoyang.

After another half an hour, four 82-mm mortars were already aimed at the Chaoyang airfield, hangars, oil depots, ammunition depots, two kilometers away. The pilot's quarters, which had already been reconnoitred for a long time, were all exposed to the muzzles.

"Fire!" Master Liu gave an order, and as the shells fell, a big battle began.

The four mortar shells accurately hit their respective targets, and the huge explosion immediately caused chaos in the entire airfield, and the sleeping Japanese soldiers fled from their quarters one by one in panic, but then they were torn apart by the shells.

Half of the 200 mortar shells were white phosphorus incendiary shells. The other half is a high-explosive bomb filled with Black Sorkin, with shrapnel and white phosphorus as the best combination, and steel and flame are constantly harvesting lives.

In order to cope with the possible coming big war, the Japanese army has stockpiled a large amount of fuel and bombs here, and now these things have become the devil who urges the devil, and the ammunition and fuel are detonated. Let the sea of fire turn into purgatory, and the plane is burning. Houses are burning, even people are burning.

It only takes less than ten minutes for four mortars to shoot out two hundred shells, and such a short time, let alone a counterattack, is not even enough for the Japanese to wake up from the chaos and shoot out the attackers of the shells. Looking at the target engulfed in flames, he didn't hesitate to blow up his weapon and turn away.

The same situation was played out at the same time in Rehe, where all the Japanese airfields in western Liaoning were wiped out, and almost all the Japanese airpower in this area was wiped out overnight, and nearly 100 planes were completely destroyed. Countless pilots died in the fire, and the losses of fuel and ammunition were even more heavy.

At the time of the attack on the airport, on the Laoha River Bridge of the Yechi Railway, a train transporting ammunition was driving on the bridgehead, and in the dense forest not far from the shore, dozens of black shadows were quietly watching the rumbling train.

"Detonate!" A dark shadow whispered.

The person next to him quickly pressed the detonator, and a huge ball of fire appeared under the train out of thin air with a roar that made the earth tremble, and suddenly lifted the entire train away with tyrannical force.

"Ma's, a ton of black gold, it's really enjoyable!" The black shadow who ordered said with a smirk.

One ton of black gold wiped out the entire bridge, and on this night, not only this bridge, not only the bridge, but even a kilometer-long section of the Chengjin Railway was buried by people with two tons of black gold blown up by the collapse.

It was a crazy night, dozens of deadly attacks and explosions that kept Kenkichi Ueda awake at night, who was well prepared for the coming war, but did not expect it to start this way.

At dawn, the real war began, and the warp, a small city outside the fortress, had been smashed into rubble by a hail of shells in just half an hour, and the commander of the 9th Wing of the Japanese army stationed here had never imagined that the shelling could be so intensive.

150 mm heavy mortars, 82 mm mortars, 75 mm howitzers, and even 105 mm heavy guns, shells of various calibers with all kinds of whistling, falling all the time, not only anti-personnel shells, but even mixed with white phosphorus bombs, now this small city is completely in flames.

The soldiers from Osaka had always lacked courage, and under such a dense shelling, none of them even dared to show their heads, huddled behind the collapsed walls with their heads in their hands, praying that the shells would not fall on them.

The shells would not hear their prayers, and the Wing Commander was watching his men shatter in the flames of the explosion, struggling and howling in the poisonous fire of white phosphorus.

"Request tactical guidance!" The Wing Commander said bitterly to the Chief of Staff beside him, even though at this time, he had not seen a single enemy come into his sight.

The chief of staff silently turned around and sent a report, knowing that after the shelling was over, the Ninth Wing estimated that there would be no more than half of the remaining men.

The enemy on the opposite side is not the Northeast Guangfu Army, this is Duolun's Sun Dianying bandits, except for these bandits trained by the ghost animals of the United States, no one will waste shells like this.

Yes, the chief of staff can only be described as wasteful, according to his estimates, at least more than 20,000 shells of various calibers were dropped in the shed in half an hour, and the ninth wing averaged seven shells per soldier, but he also admitted that this kind of shelling was very effective, especially for the fourth division, and now there are soldiers who have been tortured by the shelling and gone crazy, such an army may not even be able to stop the first wave of the enemy's charge.

Outside the city. Sun Dianying's closest division commander, Ding Xuanting, was humbly accepting the guidance of his American advisers, a veteran of the Second Battle of the Somme, who was constantly transmitting what is called artillery fire, and next to them four 105-millimeter heavy guns were constantly firing shells at the small warp shed.

This was done by Yang Feng's arsenal itself. It is still in the test stage, but instead of wasting the shells on the test site, it is better to smash them directly on the top of the Japanese army.

"When we can use artillery shells, we don't need bullets, when we can use machine guns, we don't need rifles, when we can use submachine guns, we don't need bayonets, and our task is to take down the warp shed as quickly as possible, so we have to use the fastest way. Smash 30,000 shells over, and then our soldiers can take the town directly on the corpses of the enemy! Major Frank said triumphantly that the veteran ruffians who had been in the New York HEI gang a few years ago had a lot of fun among the bandits.

"It's just that the cost is too high!" Ding Qiting said with emotion.

"It's nothing compared to the win!" Frank looked at the prayer shed with a telescope, and felt that it should be about the same, and now there was nothing higher than the walls in this small city except for the flames.

"Ding, it's time for the lads to get on. Tell them to keep as many prisoners as they can, that's our dollars! Frank said.

Ding Yuting immediately perked up. Waving the big-eyed puff in his hand, he shouted: "Brothers, rush to me, go into the city and capture the prisoners!" 100 dollars for a Japanese person! ”

The bandits howled a little impatiently, and the K98s with bayonets in their hands lined up in standard American infantry attack formations, flooding the ruins of the castle like a tide.

There is no one to resist them anymore. The shelling caused the Ninth Wing to lose more than half of its troops, and the rest were tortured by the shells to the point of collapse, and in the face of an enemy ten times their size, they had already lost the courage to resist.

The entire 9th Wing of the Japanese Army was wiped out in this way, and the Wing Commander was seppuku in his own headquarters. Nearly 1,000 soldiers who had been devastated by the shells and surrendered to the attacking bandits, who were treated in a manner very consistent with the Geneva Conventions, and no one was slaughtered or mistreated, much to the delight of Osaka's greengrocers.

What surprised them even more was that the old bandits even smiled and gave them food and drink, and treated the wounded, which was simply incredible, although these guys smiled very strangely, and the Osaka vegetable vendors certainly didn't know what to say, the reason why these guys treated their injuries was mainly because the dead couldn't sell them for money.

"Mah, I really didn't find it?" Ding Yuting was very dissatisfied and said to the subordinates who were in charge of cleaning up the Japanese army headquarters that Boss Yang offered a reward of 200 taels of gold for the Japanese army flag, so it is indeed a pity that this thing was not found.

"It is estimated that it was burned, our brothers met a group of very tenacious Japanese soldiers, and it took more than a dozen dead and wounded to kill them with recoilless guns and white phosphorus shells, which should be their flag protection team." The subordinate said.

If you don't find it, you can't find it, with a little regret, Ding Yuting sent a telegram to the general headquarters of Duolun to conquer the warp shed.

This is the most important part of the whole campaign, the north of the Rehe River is full of mountainous areas, the Japanese defense line is actually based on the West Lamulun River, north from Lindong, this direction is the most elite sixth division of the Japanese army, and then to the south and then to the west until the Jingpeng, the Jingpeng is defended by the Ninth Wing of the Fourth Division, and the main force of the Fourth Division is in Chifeng as a backup, after all, their combat effectiveness is not very reassuring.

But no one expected that they would be scum to such a point, Sun Dianying, who was connected to the telegram, was a little unbelievable, when did the Japanese army fight so well, but since they took the warp shed, then it would be easy to do the rest.

Ding Xuanting's division continued to attack eastward, cooperating with He Jifeng, who was moving southwest from Linnan, and Li Du's second division broke through the defense line of the Xilamulun River, and then went directly south to Chifeng.

In fact, at this time, He Jifeng's department had already exchanged fire with the Japanese army on the banks of the Xilamulun River, but he had to face the Sixth Division, these guys were not Osaka vegetable sellers, and He Jifeng was not Ding Yuting, the old bandits had a short journey from Daribo to attack the shed, and they could carry enough heavy weapons to their heart's content, but He Jifeng did not have such good conditions, he did not have 105 mm heavy guns, and he made slow progress due to the lack of enough heavy weapons.

However, the Japanese defense line was also crumbling, after all, the real combat effectiveness of the 29th Army should be said to be second only to the security division. He Jifeng was also a fierce general on the same level as Zhao Dengyu, and the two Japanese wings opposite him were struggling to hold on, and had already sent a telegram requesting tactical guidance.

The news that the Jingshan was lost one morning and the entire Ninth Wing was wiped out made the Japanese troops in the entire Rehe nervous, and everyone understood that after opening the passage through the Jingshan. The supply line of the Northeast Guangfu Army was shortened by at least two-thirds at once, and a large number of supplies would be continuously transported into Rehe through the line of Dalibo and Jingpeng, and Li Du could completely ignore the base in Linxi and then rely on the supply of this line to attack south.

At this time, it was meaningless for Lin Dong's Japanese troops to stay there, even if they also attacked Lin Xi, Li Du would not care about them anymore, as long as they took Chifeng, then who cared about Lin Xi.

Now in front of the Japanese army. It is necessary to block them no matter what, otherwise the 70,000 troops will go straight to Chifeng, then the entire Rehe will be in danger, if the Chinese army on the Great Wall line suddenly counterattacks, the second and eighth divisions on the southern front will be in danger of being wiped out, and then the entire Rehe will no longer be Manchurian.

Ueda Kenkichi immediately ordered the rest of the Sixth Division in Lindong, Daban and other places to be transferred to the southern front. In any case, they must be blocked, and at the same time the 4th Division will move north from Chifeng. The narrow valley of the Xilamulun River suddenly gathered heavy troops, and more than 100,000 men and horses on both sides began a protracted war.

After getting the news that the Eastern Front had been basically emptied, a group of bandits, warlords and profiteers in Duolun's headquarters immediately smiled.

"Alright, it's time for the cavalry to go out!" Yang Feng said with a strategizing expression.

At this time in Linxi. The cavalry division of Zhao Dengyu of the 29th Army has been assembled, and his cavalry division is the number of infantry divisions, nearly 10,000 elite cavalry, Li Chunhua Cavalry Brigade of the 41st Army, and cavalry brigade of the 51st Army. This brigade was personally led by He Zhuguo, who was also the commander-in-chief of this raid on Shenyang, after all, this guy was a professional cavalry general.

In addition, there is a cavalry brigade sent by Ma Hongkui, with a total strength of 22,000 people, in addition to the mechanized support detachment provided by Yang Feng, 200 trucks, towing 130 mm cannons, equipped with large-caliber machine guns, double 37 anti-aircraft guns, and more than a dozen bulldozers and excavators.

This goods even wants to get his pontoon bridge, in case there is no bridge along the way, directly set up a pontoon bridge, the result is despised, it is still a dry season, even the Xilamulun River is about to break the flow, how can you still need to build a bridge.

As long as he passed Kailu, the road problem did not need to be considered at all, from Tongliao to Shenyang, there was almost the most developed transportation system in China, whether it was a railway or a road, enough for his mechanized troops to operate.

In order to ensure the success of this operation, Sun Liren and the staff officers of the security division have done countless rehearsals and selected the best route from Linxi to Shenyang.

In fact, this route is also thanks to the Japanese army, in order to deal with Li Du, the Japanese army built a road from Kailu to Lindong, which can take advantage of this, although this road is not of high grade, but it is supported by bulldozers and excavators, and it is also smooth enough.

The only trouble is that Lin Dong's Japanese army has a wing, so it must be made to attack Chifeng with all its might, only in this way can the Japanese army be transferred away, and now there is only one brigade on alert, and this point 20,000 troops rushed over and trampled to death directly.

Then there was an independent garrison brigade in Tongliao, after passing here, all the way to Shenyang, there were no more Japanese troops above the brigade level along the way, as for those Manchurian national troops, it is estimated that they had to flee when they saw the momentum of these 20,000 cavalry.

In order to boost morale, Boss Yang personally led the warlords, and even invited celebrities such as Wu Peifu, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Ma Zhanshan to the assembly place in Linxi together.

More than 20,000 cavalry gathered together, and it looked extremely magnificent, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, covering the grassland in early spring.

"Brothers, you probably don't know what you're going to do, right?" Yang Feng stood on a Wrangler with a loudspeaker, shouting as he walked in front of the formation.

"Then I'll tell you now, you're going to raid Shenyang, do you hear clearly? You want to kill back to Shenyang, you have to go to the headquarters of the little devils! You're going to capture Ueda Kenkichi alive!

Now tell me, do you dare to go? Those who dare not go can stand up, no one will laugh at you! ”

The soldiers immediately became chaotic, one by one talking about each other, to be honest, it was really sudden, before these cavalry came, they received orders to help Li Du fight Rehe, and now it suddenly became a long-distance attack on Shenyang, it was inevitable that they were a little shocked, but no one stood up and said no.

The soldiers are all obedience to orders as their duty, and this matter is indeed a bit exciting, especially many of these cavalry are from the Northeast Army, and the 29th Army is also a hot-blooded young man who is deeply educated in patriotism.

"Very good, very good, all gentlemen! Don't worry about anything, look at these cars, look at these cannons, they will act with you, with all the things you need, our special brigade has already bombed all the airfields of the Japanese army, and the railways have also been bombed, now Shenyang is only guarded by 3,000 Japanese troops, and there are no reinforcements, more than half of the Japanese troops in the northeast are in the south, and they are now unable to protect themselves.

The rest are in Changbai Mountain, and it is impossible for Tang Juwu's Anti-League to let them leave, what is left? Are you still afraid of those puppet armies?

The people of the whole city there are our compatriots, they will only help us, not the Japanese, your action this time is very simple, rush to Shenyang, destroy the devil's nest, capture Ueda Kenkichi alive, blow up the Shenyang Arsenal, and then return immediately, you don't need to guard there. Yang Feng continued, as for the trouble that will be encountered in these hundreds of kilometers, it is ignored. (To be continued......)
