After an unknown period of time, the flames in the sky gradually dimmed, and the deafening explosions also disappeared. Only the ground trembled faintly, and smoke filled the air everywhere. The soil mixed with blood and minced meat was charred black and dark brown. The entire camp had become a living hell.
In the command center of the Third Division of the Fengtian Guards, Zhou Weiguo, the commander, looked at the tragic battlefield. His face was ashen and he could not help but punch the table." Damn you, Japanese! Men!"
"Teacher!" A few adjutants immediately appeared in front of him.
"Tell the artillery to open fire. Use up all the shells and kill the heavy artillery of the Japanese." Zhou Weiguo roared.”
"Yes, sir!" The adjutants 'faces turned cold. They saluted and immediately went out to convey the order.
........
A minute later.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!" A dull sound came from the artillery battalion of the third division in the city. Twelve 155mm howitzers and twenty 105mm howitzers opened fire, firing revenge shells at the Japanese soldiers.
The originally dark sky in Fengtian City was completely illuminated by the blue muzzle flames. Heavy artillery shells quickly shot out of the barrels, crossing the sky like large fireballs, and directly poured in the direction of the Japanese army outside the city.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Just as Itagaki Seishiro was basking in the glory of his victory, a few artillery shells hit him at the same time, causing an earth-shattering explosion.
"Bagaya Road, the Chinese actually have heavy artillery. Where are our artillery? Hurry up and counterattack! Kill all these despicable Chinese people!" Itagaki Seishiro, who had almost been killed by the explosion, said angrily.
When the Imperial Army of the Great Japan had the upper hand, he, as the highest commander, was almost killed by them. How could this be?
However, he wasn't the only one who was hit by the artillery. All the Japanese around him were enveloped by the violent explosion. No one could hear his orders at all, so he could only stand and wait for the enemy's artillery to attack.
After waiting for half an hour, an adjutant ran over in panic."General, bad news!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and order our artillery to counterattack and send all those damned Chinese people to hell!”Before he could finish listening to the adjutant, Itagaki Seishiro shouted angrily. The great imperial army had actually been injured repeatedly by a mere Chinese trash troop. This was simply a disgrace.
However, after the Japanese adjutant heard this, his panicked face instantly turned colorful and purple. He wanted to say something but hesitated."General, Your Excellency General, our heavy artillery unit was completely destroyed by the enemy's cannon fire.”
What was that? Itagaki Seishiro was about to go crazy from anger. After having a good time like this, he was killed." Baga Yalu! A bunch of idiots! Don't they know how to change their position immediately after firing?"
The Japanese army's adjutant lowered his head and did not dare to speak. Was he going to answer the Regiment Commander that it was because of his blind command that all the artillery was buried? Moreover, how could such heavy artillery be easily transferred? It was simply ridiculous!
At this moment, another wave of artillery attacks from the Feng army arrived in the city. The destructive attacks caused the camp to be in a mess. There were deep pits and flames everywhere, and there was smoke and the smell of blood everywhere.
Itagaki Seishiro couldn't help but hide in the trenches to avoid the flying ashes and debris. The adjutant couldn't help but persuade him,""General, the enemy's firepower is too fierce. Our army has suffered heavy casualties. Why don't we avoid the enemy's attack first and wait for the next battle?”
"Baga Yalu!" Itagaki Seishiro was instantly enraged and reprimanded loudly,"Coward, how can the warriors of the Imperial Army be scared by the Chinese's artillery fire? Order the artillery to cover the infantry and send them to the front line.”
"General, the Chinese used at least 105 caliber heavy artillery. Our regiment's firepower was blown up by them before it was ready. Moreover, the local artillery positions were set up in the city. Our remaining Type 92 infantry cannons could not suppress them at all.”The adjutant lowered his head and said with some hesitation.
To put it bluntly, they couldn't beat the other party. In front of such powerful firepower, whoever dared to go up would be courting death!
"Bastard! That damned Chinese person actually hid it so deeply.”Itagaki Seishiro was furious. He knew very well that once the army could not withstand the enemy's artillery bombardment, the enemy infantry behind them would definitely take the opportunity to counterattack. At that time, not to mention taking down Fengtian, it would be a problem whether he could survive or not.
Itagaki Seishiro could not help but grit his teeth and ordered,""The 30th regiment will quickly retreat to Sujiatun. The 16th regiment will continue to defend.”
"Yes, sir!" The adjutant immediately replied. Although he knew that Itagaki Seishiro's purpose of leaving the 16th regiment behind was to die, for the sake of the overall situation, he still relayed the order to the various regiments without hesitation.
