Chapter 16: Entering Fengtian
Just as Zhang Xinghan ordered the retreat, Liu Guodong's second round of bombardment arrived as scheduled. The Japanese army, which was already in chaos, collapsed immediately. The Japanese soldiers were blown up in the flames and cried for their fathers and mothers, wailing all over the place.
What made the Japanese soldiers even more heartbroken was that they could not see or touch the poisonous gas that had merged into the dark night and spread out.
The slightest contact will soon cause convulsions all over the body, foaming at the mouth, and death.
In order to protect Zhang Xinghan's main force from the battle, Liu Guodong ordered three platoons of officers and soldiers to continue firing. The fierce artillery fire and poison gas formed a solid and solid barrier, which happened to block more than 400 Japanese reinforcements who had just returned from the front.
Zhang Xinghan took the opportunity and led his main force to evacuate quickly. After Liu Guodong led 200 elite soldiers to use up all the artillery shells, he ordered the bombs to be detonated and quickly evacuated.
{Boom, boom, boom!} Violent explosions sounded one after another, and the entire Japanese artillery position instantly turned into a sea of flames.
Due to the obstruction of the poisonous gas, the Japanese reinforcements had no choice but to retreat. They watched helplessly as Zhang Xinghan and the others calmly evacuated and quickly disappeared into the vast night.
Since the headquarters was destroyed, the wing captain and other senior commanders of the wing were all shattered, and they were worried that they would be ambushed if they pursued in the dark. Therefore, the main force of the Japanese army did not pursue Zhang Xinghan and the others, but quickly became vigilant, cleaning the battlefield and rescuing the wounded.
Report the news of the death of Yukihiro Hirata and other senior officers to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Lushun.
…………………………
At the same time, Huang Xiansheng and the other officers and soldiers who were guarding the top of Fengtian City were shocked by the big explosion behind the Japanese position.
Looking at the flames soaring into the sky and the deafening explosions one after another, Deputy Director Wang Yicai said with confusion on his face: {Virgin, what is going on? Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?}
{Reinforcements?} Huang Xiansheng, who was also extremely surprised, muttered to himself uncertainly.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind them. The two of them turned around suddenly when they heard the sound, and saw a soldier carrying a rifle and panting as he ran up to the top of the city and quickly ran towards them.
{Director, Deputy Director Wang, a unit of our army has arrived from the north of the city. They claim to be from the 3rd Battalion of the 620th Regiment of the 7th ** Brigade, saying they came from the Peking Camp to support us.} As they approached, the soldiers snapped
He put his feet back and stood at attention, saluting and reported.
{From the 7th Brigade? How many people are there?} Huang Xiansheng's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously with excitement.
{There were about two hundred people, carrying a batch of artillery and a large number of guns.} The soldier answered truthfully.
{Only two hundred people? Damn it, did the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 7th Brigade die in battle? Why are there only two hundred people?} Huang Xiansheng said a little disappointed and a little angry.
{Virgo, now is the time for us to employ people. The Seventh Brigade is a well-trained elite division. These two hundred people are also a great help to us.} Wang Yicai said, and then approached Huang Xiansheng
He whispered in his ear: {Besides, it’s not like you don’t know, Virgo
He said that the Marshal had repeatedly ordered the 7th Brigade not to resist before the war. I guessed that the 7th Brigade probably had no choice but to evacuate the Beida Camp. As for the entire army being annihilated, that is unlikely, because the Kwantung Army in the Shenyang area alone
, they don’t have such a big appetite yet.}
{Humph!} Huang Xiansheng snorted coldly, and then ordered the soldier: {Notify the garrison and let them enter the city. In addition, ask the highest-ranking officer among them to come see me immediately.}
{Yes!}The soldier just wanted to leave.
Suddenly, another soldier rushed from the city. He didn't even have time to stand at attention and salute before reporting to Huang Xiansheng: "General Huang, it's bad, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly appeared at the north gate, numbering about four to five hundred people. The situation is critical. Our company is in critical condition."
Please send troops for reinforcements as soon as possible!}
{What?} Huang Xiansheng and Wang Yicai were both shocked when they heard this. After looking at each other in astonishment, Huang Xiansheng immediately said to Wang Yicai: {Yicai, you stay here to command, I will take a company to reinforce the north gate.}
{Yes! You must be careful, Virgo.} Wang Yicai promised without hesitation and did not forget to give instructions.
{Damn you, the bullet that killed me hasn’t been made yet!} Huang Xiansheng snorted angrily, and then waved his hand: {The Third Squadron of the Police Corps is coming with me to reinforce Beimen.}
After saying that, he took the lead and led hundreds of military police down the city, running straight along the street towards the north gate.
………………………………
Outside the North Gate, two hundred soldiers led by Liu Jianguo were responsible for transporting a large number of guns and artillery brought back from Peking University Camp. After arriving at the North Gate, they were told by the defenders to wait where they were.
While Liu Jianguo was depressed, Zhang Xinghan suddenly appeared in Japanese military uniforms with four to five hundred {Japanese soldiers}. Liu Jianguo was lucky because when he was cleaning the battlefield outside Peking University Camp, he knew that Zhang Xinghan ordered 500 soldiers to put on the corpses of Japanese soldiers.
Removed military uniform.
However, the defenders on the top of the city did not know this. When they heard a strange noise and shined searchlights in the direction of Zhang Xinghan and others, they immediately fired a warning shot. A company commander in charge of the defense of the north gate ordered the troops to open fire while sending people
Immediately report this sudden situation to Huang Xiansheng.
The defenders on the top of the city suddenly opened fire, which was beyond Zhang Xinghan's expectation. He had been retreating quickly, but he was afraid that the Japanese troops were approaching, so he forgot to take off his Japanese uniforms in his haste.
In order to avoid self-injury, Zhang Xinghan immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and stay put.
The defenders on the top of the city fired their machine guns, but when they saw no attack from the Japanese troops, they stopped shooting, and the two sides faced off.
Liu Jianguo and two hundred soldiers were caught in the middle.
Forced to have no choice, Liu Jianguo shouted to the top of the city at the top of his voice: "Brothers above, don't shoot. Those who came just now are not Japanese troops. They are the main force of our 3rd Battalion. They have just launched a sneak attack under the leadership of Zhang Xinghan from our camp."
Japanese army, you all heard and saw the big explosion just now, right? That was what they did.}
The superior company commander on top of the city looked at the city, pondered for a while and said: {Brothers below the city, just in case, you should prepare for battle quickly to prevent the enemy from sneak attack!}
{Damn it, I already told you, they are not enemy troops, they are the main force of our 3rd Battalion.} Liu Jianguo was furious when he heard this.
{Whether they are Japanese troops or not, you will know after daybreak!} The captain said.
{Okay, if you don’t believe them, then you should believe me, right? Hurry up and open the city gate and let us in first.} Seeing that the captain and company commander at the top of the city were difficult to deal with, and fearing that the Japanese pursuers were coming, Liu Jianguo planned to lead them first
After two hundred people entered the city and controlled the city gate, let Zhang Xinghan and others enter the city.
Unexpectedly, the captain at the head of the city said impatiently: {Stop talking nonsense, no one can enter the city without General Huang's order.}
{You!} Liu Jianguo's face was livid with anger, but in order to avoid misunderstandings and unnecessary exchanges of fire, he and his two hundred subordinates were within the absolutely effective range of the defenders on the city. If they were offended, one round
Fire down the volley, throw in a few grenades, and it's over.
I can only endure it temporarily.
