As the sun set, night fell.
The news of the Fengtian Guards 'victory in the first battle quickly spread into the city.
Countless people were excited, and even Zhang Xuezeng was no exception.
"Beautifully done, all of you!
Tell the First Regiment to rest on the spot and occupy the favorable terrain to gradually erode the Japanese's position!
Remember, even if you die, you must not let the Japanese take back their position.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Weiguo replied sternly.
A temporary victory didn't mean anything. The important thing was to be able to win continuously.
The two regiments of the Japanese Guandong Army, together with the other garrisons, numbered nearly ten thousand.
Right now, they had only destroyed less than a quarter of their troops.
When they came back to their senses, the attack on Fengtian would definitely be even more intense.
Whether it was Zhang Xueceng or Zhou Weiguo, they both understood. D
The Japanese Kwantung Army hadn't used all their strength yet, and there was still an artillery unit equipped with 105mm howitzers hidden in the dark.
It was to deal a fatal blow to the Fengtian Guards at the critical moment.
Therefore, the more it was this time, the more he couldn't let his guard down.
On the other side, Xu Hu led a group to quickly clean up the battlefield and build fortifications on the spot.
The Japanese's battle strategy was average, but their formation was really well built.
He was much stronger than their amateurs.
With just a few minor repairs, the defensive works were completed.
At the same time, the entire Fengtian Garrison Guard moved 800 meters forward.
The two sides were almost face-to-face.
They didn't even need to use cannons, just heavy machine guns.
"Reporting to regiment commander, all the battalions have been reorganized. Please give us your orders!”
In the command center of the First Regiment, a few battalion commanders came to Xu Hu and saluted him.
"Yes!"
Xu Hu nodded and said calmly,
"Everyone performed well just now. We can't be complacent.
The Japanese were full of tricks. They must not fail miserably!”
"Now, let the new recruits adapt for the time being.
The veterans were tired and were always on guard against the enemy's movements.
When the war is over, I will personally take credit for you.
Big fish, meat, good wine, and good food. There would definitely be no lack of them!
But now, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Fengtian.
Everyone must work together to kill the Japanese!”
The battalion commanders immediately declared loudly,
"As long as we are alive, we will live and die with Fengtian!
As long as there's not even a single person in our battalion who's still alive, the Japanese will never be able to break through our position!”
"Very good. Our Dragon Country needs men like you!
They had been working non-stop for nearly two hours. Now, they should try their best to recover their mental and physical strength.”
Xu Hu waved his hand.
The battalion commanders saluted and immediately dispersed, running back to their respective positions.
A group of soldiers who had just experienced a life and death battle.
When they heard the battalion commander's order to rest, no one showed any excitement.
Most of them were numb after experiencing war.
Fear, fear, and other emotions.
In the face of true death, it was not easy.
Many people were lucky enough to survive.
For example, Chen Erhu, their veteran squad leader, used his own life to explain the meaning of protecting the country to them.
On the battlefield, everyone had a feeling that they had never felt before. It was good to be alive.
They were extremely eager to return home alive to see their wives, children, and parents.
But now, they couldn't do that.
In front of them were the ruthless Japanese.
Once their position was broken through, it would not be as simple as losing their lives.
The hundreds of thousands of people in the city, their families, children, parents, and brothers, would all be in danger.
This was something that no iron-blooded man could accept.
In order to protect his family, friends, and fellow citizens.
In order to protect their homeland from being invaded by the Japanese.
For the sake of their descendants, they could live an upright life and not be enslaved by others.
They had to be firm in their beliefs and muster their courage.
Holding a bayonet, they fought a life-and-death battle with the Japanese.
As a man, a man with an iron backbone.
To be able to fight on the battlefield for their country and their people.
To be able to shed blood for their loved ones and children.
Who was the biggest and the best home!
Zhang Xueceng, who was sitting at the top of the city wall, quietly looked at the smoke that had not completely dissipated in the camp not far away.
The expression on his face was not relaxed, and his emotions were somewhat heavy.
He knew that it was impossible for there to be no casualties in a war.
However, he had seen his fellow soldiers die on the battlefield.
Countless families were torn apart because of this, and it was inevitable that they would feel grief.
At the same time, he felt proud.
It was because of their heroic fighting that they resisted the Japanese.
The 30 million Northeast compatriots and the vast Northeast would not fall into the hands of the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuezeng could not help but clench his fists and shout,"
"The long clouds and dark snow mountains of Qinghai, a lonely city looking at the Jade Gate Pass.
The yellow sand has been through hundreds of battles, wearing golden armor. If you don't break the Japanese pirates, you won't return.”
The majestic voice of a man echoed throughout the entire South Gate of Fengtian.
Kill!
Kill!
Kill!
Countless soldiers roared in anger.
As night fell, Zhang Xueceng brought the guards back to the Garrison Command.
The first battle was worth celebrating, but the battle had just begun.
Zhang Xueceng had never relaxed for a moment. He needed to be 120,000 percent alert and keep an eye on the battlefield.
"Young Master, the Japanese vanguard has been crippled by us. Should we take the opportunity to launch a counterattack?
In one go, wipe out the Japanese's 2nd division!”
"Yes, Commander!"
Huang Xiansheng said anxiously.
However, seeing their eagerness, Zhang Xueceng was not only a little disappointed.
Even these two generals were so short-sighted.
No wonder Jinling and Zhang Xiaoliu didn't care much about the Japanese.
They had won the first battle. Did they really think that the Japanese were paper tigers that could be easily suppressed?
Indeed, the biggest reason for the Northeast Army's complete defeat was because of Zhang Xiaoliu's order not to resist.
But the fundamental reason was that the northeast army was already very weak.
The old-fashioned warlords had a deep-rooted style, and embezzling military pay was a common occurrence.
In history, Zhang Shao Shuai had ordered Tang Yulin, the leader of Rehe, to counterattack the northeast.
However, during the march, Tang Yulin's two brigades protested because they had not been paid for a long time.
This was simply the greatest joke in the world.
However, this kind of joke was not uncommon among the 300,000 soldiers of the Northeast Army.
Of course, it was not that there were no heroes who fought against the Japanese. For example, Feng Zhanhai's guards stationed in the border guard office in Ji Lin.
The acting leader of the Black Dragon, and also the commander of the military, Ma Zhanshan.
"Do the two of you really think that the current situation is that optimistic?”
Zhang Xuezeng raised his eyebrows and shook his head." The fundamental reason for our victory in the first battle was that we caught the Japanese off guard.
In addition to the close cooperation between the Air Force and our army, we were able to annihilate the Japanese vanguard.
But in reality, the Japanese's main force was not damaged at all.
Have you noticed any signs of the Japanese retreating or their morale collapsing?”
"Ishihara Kaner and Itagaki Seishiro are both famous cunning generals in the Japanese army.
At this moment, they have probably dug a trap for us to jump into.
If he really inflated his ego and pursued after the victory, there was a high chance that he would be sniped and destroyed.
At that time, no one would be able to resolve the crisis of Fengtian!”
