At the same time, Itagaki Seishiro and Ishihara Kaner led the two regiments of the Second Division of the Japanese Army to alight midway. The infantry attacked for a night and arrived at Liaoyang along the South Manchurian railway.
Just a few hours ago, this place was taken down by the Third Squadron of the Sixth Brigade of the Japanese Army's railway garrison. After a night of attacks, Itagaki Seishiro and the others were exhausted and had no choice but to order them to rest in Liaoyang. However, Ishihara smiled and immediately informed the officers above the captain to come to the command center for a meeting.
There was no other way. Who asked the situation to be urgent now? The siege of Fengtian City, which had been in the bag, had actually failed, and the entire 29th Regiment had been wiped out. This made Ishihara Smile's heart churn.
After all, the 29th Infantry Regiment was the most elite combat regiment in the entire Empire of Japan. It was also equipped with an entire exploration team's heavy artillery. It was a disgrace to the Imperial Army of Japan that they were killed!
What shocked Ishihara A Smile even more was that in the entire northeast region, only Wang Yizhe's independent 7th regiment could fight to a draw with the 29th regiment. However, as Zhang Shao Shuai's direct troops, how could they disobey orders?
Moreover, even if the 7th Brigade were to make a move, he did not think that they could wipe out the 29th Regiment in such a short period of time, unless it was the elite German Machinists of the Nanjing government.
At this moment, the person in charge of the Japanese Special Higher Police stationed in Tieling rushed in and handed the latest military intelligence in the Fengtian area to Ishihara.
"What is it? How is this possible?"
When Ishihara took a look, he couldn't help but exclaim," The Northeast Army really mobilized the independent 7th Brigade. They even sent out the war chariots to wipe out the 29th Regiment.”
"Nani? How dare a Chinese cheat the Imperial Army of the Great Japan, Bagayalu!”Itagaki Seishiro was immediately enraged." Bastard Zhang Xueliang, how despicable! He doesn't dare to face the Imperial Army of Japan head-on, and can only secretly plot against us! I'm going to kill all these damn Chinese pigs!"”
"No, I can't! Zhang Xueliang did not play any dirty tricks. The Northeast Army had indeed retreated without a fight. Otherwise, the Imperial Army of Japan would not have taken over the main towns along the South Manchurian Railroad so easily.”Ishihara smiled and shook his head.
Upon hearing his words, Itagaki Seishiro also began to ponder. Indeed, if Zhang Xueliang had given the order, then how could the entire Northeast, including the defenders of the Heilong River and the JiLin River, have completely retreated?
"Ishihara-kun, could it be that the 7th Brigade is like Huang Xiansheng, disobeying the orders of their superiors and spontaneously organizing troops to ambush our Imperial Army?" he asked. But how do they know that we will attack the North Camp first?”
This was exactly what the Japanese army was most puzzled about. Logically speaking, this operation was an emergency for the Kwantung Army. Even the Japanese military and the Emperor did not know about it. But how did the 7th Brigade guess it?
" This is not the only news from the Fengtian Special Higher Police. It is said that at six o'clock in the afternoon, a fully-armed troop of about a thousand people came out of the city. They split into a few small teams and rushed to the east camp of Fengtian, the airport, and the arsenal, shattering our plan.”Ishihara said with a serious expression.
"Before the 29th regiment sent out the Jade Fragment Telegram, they reported to the headquarters that they were attacked by an unknown enemy 500 meters away from the Fengtian North Camp. The firepower was fierce and they were equipped with a large number of cannons.”
"Ishihara-kun, what do you mean? There is an unknown force in Fengtian that is preventing us from taking over the northeast? What should we do now?" Itagaki Seishiro asked.
"There's a saying in China that goes,'A mantis's arm can stop a chariot.”Ishihara stroked his chin with a smile as he spoke indifferently, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
As the strongest country in Asia, the Great Japan Empire was not something a mere 7th Brigade or some rats hiding in the dark could compare to.
Ever since the Meiji era, the Japanese army had used the Qing Dynasty as a stepping stone to completely stand on the world stage. Even some of the former European empires could not compare to them, so they had the confidence to crush China and occupy the entire China.
"Banyuan Jun, order the 16th regiment to quickly advance into Lighthouse and take Sujiatun as soon as possible. Now, along the southern Manchurian route, Lushun, Dalian, Yingkou, and Liaoyang are all under our control. The northern Manchurian route to Tieling is also under our control. Once Lighthouse and Sujiatun are taken, the Fengtian garrison will be forced to fight a decisive battle with our army under the city.”
Itagaki Seishiro was not convinced by Ishihara's words. On the contrary, he looked at the battle map hanging in the center of the command center and asked in puzzlement,""Ishihara-kun, the southwest region of Fengtian, including Xinmin, Jinzhou, Qinghemen, Chaoyang, and other places, has not been taken down by our Imperial Army. If the Fengtian garrison abandoned the city and fled into the pass, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?”
"No, no, no! The Fengtian garrison, including the 7th regiment, would never retreat into the pass. They had already become the abandoned soldiers of the Northeast Army. They had no other choice but to defend Fengtian. It was better for Banyuan Jun to immediately mobilize his troops and attack Lighthouse and Sujiatun!”
Ishihara smiled as if he was planning a strategy and said confidently,"Our main force will rest for a while. After daybreak, we will attack Fengtian City. We must take down Fengtian City in one fell swoop!”
Looking at him, Itagaki Seishiro was filled with confidence. He could not help but nod and say,""Yo! Great!"
.......
At the same time, the Northeast Air Force, the largest air force in the country and even Asia, with more than 300 advanced fighter jets and a large number of excellent pilots, did not retreat into Fengtian Airport according to their original trajectory.
Feng Yong immediately sent troops to take over the airport, relieved the command of the Northeast Air Force's senior officials, and appointed Gao Zhihang as the temporary captain to ensure the integrity of the Northeast Air Force.
What a joke. If they followed Zhang Xiaoliu's method, the Northeast Air Force would be completely wiped out! It was simply a waste of the old marshal's efforts.
When the messenger arrived at the airport, Gao Zhihang was surrounded by a group of Air Force soldiers, anxiously waiting for the order to take off. If it wasn't for the night, they would have already ascended to the sky to fight.
"Order the Air Force Commander Gao Zhihang to rush to the garrison command! Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"
After the messenger gave the order, Gao Zhihang immediately saluted and replied,""Yes, sir!" He immediately arranged for people to be on standby at the airport to guard the plane and the corresponding facilities. Then, he immediately took a car to the garrison headquarters.
Gao Zhihang was full of admiration for Feng Yong, who carried the banner of resistance against the Japanese in the war. As long as he could fight the Japanese, he was willing to be a big soldier.
On the other side, Feng Yong had just returned to the Garrison Command when he saw Wang Jingke, the Director of the Communication Department, running to him in a hurry. He immediately asked,"What happened?"
"Commander, there is an urgent message from the front line. The Japanese army has attacked Beacon City. Our soldiers stationed in Lighthouse City have been completely wiped out.”
"Oh? The lighthouse was gone? He was fine! You can leave first!" Feng Yong said calmly and waved his hand casually, looking very relaxed.
It was no wonder. Other than the Fengtian army, he could not interfere in other places. Even if the Japanese occupied the entire northeast, it had nothing to do with him. Feng Yong's biggest goal now was to defend Fengtian.
Without Feng Tian, everything would be useless. Even he himself would be erased by the system!
