The billowing smoke and flames completely shocked Itagaki Seishiro. Seeing his soldiers die tragically under the enemy's plane one by one, his face was filled with anger, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
What he didn't expect was that the Northeast Air Force didn't listen to Zhang Xueliang's orders and entered the pass. They even helped Feng Yong kill the Imperial Army of the Great Japan Empire. It was simply preposterous!
"Baga Yalu! The Chinese are dead!"
At this moment, apart from anger, there was only regret in Itagaki Seishiro's heart. If he had not hidden a mixed heavy artillery unit, he would have committed suicide.
He had thought that by replicating the Huanggutun Incident and creating an unwarranted incident, he could force Zhang Xueliang and the Nanjing government to withdraw from the northeast, and the Guandong Army would successfully enter Zhina and establish the emperor's paradise.
However, no one expected that just as things were going according to plan, something unexpected would happen. A shocking piece of bad news completely woke him and Ishihara A Smile up. The 29th regiment that attacked Fengtian was completely wiped out.
Even so, Itagaki Seishiro still did not pay full attention to this new force in Fengtian City. It was only now that he was blown up by the air force that he realized that Feng Yong was not Zhang Xueliang. He was an extremely cunning enemy.
To be able to find clues before the Kwantung Army took action, set up an ambush position in advance, and send people to take over the airport and the arsenal when the Northeast Army retreated, arming his own forces, and even taking over the Northeast Air Force, all of these showed that Feng Yong was 'ambitious.'
Even Ishihara A Smile did not expect that his ambition was so great. He wanted to use the corpses of the Japanese army to step onto the world stage.
"Order the troops to rest on the spot!"
Due to the devastating blow from the enemy's air force, the morale of the troops plummeted. Itagaki Seishiro had no choice but to let the soldiers rest temporarily and adjust their combat effectiveness before attacking.
The dispirited Japanese army became the turning point of this battlefield. Zhou Weiguo, who was sitting on the front line, immediately caught the opportunity. He picked up the phone and shouted,"Hu Zi, the Japanese's artillery battalion has been completely destroyed by the air force. Now it's your turn to fight. Order the troops to counterattack!”
After receiving the call from his division commander, Xu Hu was stunned for a moment before he immediately shouted excitedly,"Yes, sir! Master's seat! I'll order the troops to attack immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, he quickly ordered,"Order the artillery to aim at the enemy's position and fire two units of ammunition at the fastest speed. Infantry, attack quickly after the first round of artillery fire!”
"Yes, sir!" The moment all the signalmen in the first platoon received the order, they quickly ran towards the various units.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A minute later, six 120mm mortars and twenty-four 80mm mortars opened fire at a regiment artillery position. Orange flames lit up the sky, and dozens of shells shot out of the barrel like meteors.
As the strongest of the Fengtian Guards, the 3rd Division 1st Regiment was armed to the teeth. Their mortars were not imitations of the Fengtian Munitions Factory, but German-made weapons produced by the system.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In just a few seconds, dozens of shells with long exhaust flames streaked across the sky and landed directly in the Japanese army. It instantly caused a terrifying explosion. Flames soared into the sky everywhere, and smoke filled the air. The entire Japanese army's position turned into a sea of hellfire, and wails and screams continued.
At the same time, Xu Hu arrived at the front line of a group of soldiers. The Thompson submachine gun in his hand emitted a cold light.
The soldiers in the trenches straightened their bodies and looked straight ahead, waiting for the regiment commander's inspection.
Xu Hu looked around and suddenly roared,"Soldiers!" Crash! All the soldiers present immediately stepped forward and focused their gazes on him.
"Everyone! Mount the bayonet!" Xu Hu's face was solemn, and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in his eyes as he roared with a strong fighting spirit.
In an instant, all the soldiers of the First Regiment immediately took out their sharp bayonet and quickly loaded their guns. Having experienced war, their every move was indescribably sharp and cold. The entire Feng army's position was filled with a forest of bayonet, cold light, and killing intent.
At this time, the first round of artillery fire had ended. They were extending their artillery fire, and the Japanese soldiers in front were almost dead.
"Brothers, the Japanese have been burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of crimes in China. Today is the day for us to take revenge. Everyone, let's move our bayonet forward and kill the damn Japanese!”Xu Hu roared.
Before he could finish, he rushed out of the trench with the Thompson submachine gun.
"Charge! Kill the Japanese!"
The officers of the First Regiment quickly followed behind Xu Hu. Their bodies were filled with burning fighting spirit as they roared and rushed out of the trenches.
The ordinary soldiers watched as their commanders took the lead and were deeply affected. They also held their guns and stabbed towards the Japanese army.
"Good! This is the style of my northeastern son!”
On top of the south gate of Fengtian City, Feng Yong looked at the three divisions that had rushed out of the formation first, and his blood was ignited.
More than 3,000 officers and soldiers, under the leadership of the regiment commander Xu Hu, rushed to the Japanese army's position without hesitation. How spectacular was the scene!
Shocked by the sudden bombardment, Itagaki Seishiro, the commander of the Japanese Second Division, slowly got up from under the table.
He had thought that he would be safe, but he bid farewell to Ishihara and personally went to the frontlines to see the soldiers charge into Fengtian City.
However, he did not expect the Feng army to be so patient. They only started to show their might after their field artillery team was completely wiped out, catching Itagaki Shoushiro off guard.
When he came back to his senses, there was only the wails of the soldiers and the thick smell of blood in the smoke-covered battlefield.
"General, the Chinese are attacking our army.”A Japanese officer rushed in and reported.
"Baga Yalu, stupid pig, do you still need to ask me about this? Quickly organize the troops to defend and beat the Chinese back.”Itagaki Seishiro, who had just regained his senses, saw the panicked and helpless colonel in front of him. He was furious and immediately reprimanded him loudly.
"Hey!" The Japanese colonel lowered his head and replied, then immediately went out to instruct the troops to carry out defensive operations.
After he left, Itagaki Seishiro forced himself to return to the rear command post. After experiencing that bleak memory, he had already reacted. As a high-ranking officer of the Empire, the front line was not his position. His mission should be to sit in the command post and command the army to attack.
