Chapter 137 Bloody Battle in Shenyang(2/3)

“Zhuyuyu”

"The humble job is here."

"You lead two platoons of brothers, take the telegraph machine, and go into the city. Take over the arsenal and arsenal and wait for orders." Qu Zhongyi has already thought of the worst. If the battle goes unfavorable, then the Northeast Army's property in Shenyang

, must not be left to the Japanese easily.

After Zhu Yuyu left, Qu Zhongyi returned to the special operations camp. After comforting the wounded, he arranged for them to evacuate first, and then assigned the special operations camp's defensive tasks.

The current situation is very serious. The most important thing is that we don’t know how much strength the Japanese have invested. If there are only two squadrons, or even one brigade, with more than 8,000 Northeastern troops who are full of fighting spirit, they can still repel it.

However, if the opponent sends out the main force of the Kwantung Army, or even a brigade, this battle at Beidaying will have an extremely sad ending.

But no matter what, defensive counterattack is inevitable. The Chinese cannot retreat without a fight and hand over Shenyang to the Japanese.

The Japanese attack soon reached Beidaying, the last line of defense.

The "tide"-like Japanese soldiers, illuminated by the firelight, rushed up crazily. The seven or eight armored vehicles running at the front were still spitting out tongues of fire, attacking the simple fortifications of the Northeast Army on the opposite side.

.

"Prepare cluster grenades."

Amid the retaliation from heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and mortars, the armored vehicles were still advancing arrogantly. Many Japanese soldiers had already reached a short distance in front of the simple position, and the cats were confronting the Northeastern Army behind the obstacles.

"Shoot", at this time, the casualties of Beida Camp soldiers increased significantly.

Qu Zhongyi gave an order, and several suicide squad members from the special operations battalion each carried a small bundle of cluster grenades and rushed out. Although one of the suicide squad members was unfortunately hit by the machine gun of a Japanese armored car.

But several other people, while "touching", crawling and rolling, sneaked up to the front several Japanese armored vehicles.

"Boom boom boom..."

There were several explosions in a row, and the cluster grenade was thrown under the armored car by the kamikaze. The violent explosion immediately destroyed the armored car. The one in the best condition was also blown to the ground and its wheels were damaged.

"Da da da..."

The machine guns on both sides were roaring. The Japanese Taisho Type 3 heavy machine gun and the Northeastern Army's Type 13 heavy machine gun were shooting at each other crazily. Although the hit rate was surprisingly low, it was not possible to kill them with one round of strafing.

It was able to kill two people, but it did successfully stop the Japanese offensive momentum.

It has to be said that in night battles, troop superiority can often determine the fate of the battlefield.

At this time, the only thing both sides need to do is to pour more "medicine" on the other side's position. There are no solid permanent fortifications, and some are just simple fortifications or obstacles. In a decisive battle, such as the Japanese, there is no

Then launch a desperate charge.

"Baga, you are a useless piece of trash. You can't even take down a Peking University camp in a sneak attack. In the end, you still need me to help you clean up the mess."

At the Kwantung Army Headquarters, Kwantung Army Commander Shigeru Honjo was furious. Although he had previously received reports that some young military officers were planning a raid against the North Camp of the Northeastern Army in Shenyang, he did not take it too seriously and occupied Shenyang and moved the Northeast to the north.

military

By expelling the forces from Shenyang, they will not only be able to further their plan to occupy the Northeast, but they will also be able to obtain Shenyang's amazing inventory of arms. Not to mention ready-made weapons and aircraft, even the Shenyang arsenal will become the Kwantung Army's support for war.

, strengthen your own tools.

Therefore, he acquiesced to the actions of some of the people below. However, he never dreamed that after mobilizing 240mm heavy artillery for a surprise bombardment, more than one brigade of Japanese troops would conduct a sudden sneak attack. As a result, after the initial progress went smoothly, he encountered a blockage.

The number of casualties, which was nearly a squadron, made him furious. When he received the information, Ishihara Kanji and others not only invested the remaining garrison, but also prepared to arm the returning soldiers and invest them.

Honjo Shige received a call for help from Itagaki Seishiro.

"The Northeastern Army in Beidaying has the possibility of swallowing up the entire attacking force. For the sake of the two brigades of outstanding imperial soldiers, I beg the Commander to send the main force of the Kwantung Army to defeat Beidaying in one fell swoop..."

At this point, Honjo Shige had no more options. He picked up the phone and called the Second Division Headquarters.

"Hai, Your Excellency Commander"

"Jiro Domon, I am Honjo Shige. I order your troops to immediately join the battle at Beidaying. We must completely defeat the 7th Brigade of Beidaying of the Northeastern Army."

"Hai, Commander, don't worry, we will complete the mission."

Around early in the morning, the soldiers of the Northeast Army who were in relatively poor physical condition began to show fatigue. These soldiers were originally in poor physical condition and could not eat well. In addition, it was a September night and the weather was already very cold.

.Many people were wearing only a pair of underpants when they ran out of the barracks.

There was no progress in the exchange of fire with the Japanese army. Although Qu Zhongyi also launched two probing counterattacks, they were repelled by the Japanese. It has to be said that in this case, in a night battle, which side will attack?

Neither can take advantage of it.

However, Qu Zhongyi figured out the approximate strength of the Japanese army.

"The Japanese army has less than two brigades, almost more than 2,000 people." Qu Zhongyi, Zhao Zhenfan and others got together and began to discuss a new counterattack.

"The Japanese army is well-trained, and the quality of its individual soldiers far exceeds that of our Northeastern Army. If it were during the day, even if the entire 7th Brigade went up, they might not be able to repel them. Everyone saw their performance in the night battle just now. So,

We need to take another plan.

In the first two tests, we figured out the enemy's troop distribution, so this time, we will organize superior forces to launch a real counterattack against the enemy." Qu Zhongyi said first.

"Well, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is obvious to all. In some previous conflicts between the Kwantung Army and us, troops of the same level were not their opponents at all. But it is different now. It is night, and two brigades of Japanese troops are crowded in the Peking Camp.

The first part is our opportunity."

Zhao Zhenfan also agreed to counterattack. After all, it was night. If it were left to daytime, the Northeast Army would have to retreat. "If we don't quickly defeat the Japanese troops in these two groups, we may have to retreat at dawn."

"I agree." Commander Chu of the third regiment also agreed.

Everyone understands that the Northeastern Army was attacked by the Japanese army at night, but the night is not the Northeastern Army's assistant. Only at this time, relying on the superiority of troops and familiarity with the terrain, surrounding the enemy at dawn, there is nothing they can do about the two thousand Japanese.

Already.

Although based on the evaluation of the Japanese army by the middle and high-level officers of the Northeast Army, a force of more than 8,000 people could not defeat a Japanese force of more than 2,000 people. At this time, everyone agreed to try a counterattack.

"Okay, I suggest that you move through the canteen area. At least two battalions of troops are needed to cut off the Japanese army's retreat, and then attack from the front and back to encircle and suppress the Japanese army in the encirclement..."

The officers of the Peking University Camp were discussing how to counter-encircle the Japanese army, and the Japanese army also realized the serious crisis.

"Itagaki-kun, how are you? What did the Commander say?"

Ishihara Wanji was so anxious that he was sweating. Although the Japanese army that attacked Beidaying reached the strength of two brigades, after all, the opponent had a reinforced brigade with nearly 10,000 troops. You must know that between the Northeast Army and the Kwantung Army,

Although there are frictions from time to time, there has never been a large-scale battle. As the chief of staff, he does not know what the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the two sides is. Moreover, it is dark now. If the other party takes advantage of the darkness to counterattack, the two brigades will

The losses were heavy.

This kind of fear was actually present from the beginning. It was just Ishihara Wanfa who convinced himself, an old friend, that the sneak attack would go smoothly. However, it was not until most of the Kwantung Army formed an effective defensive position in the northern part of the camp that he realized the huge threat.

crisis.

"We must not let the Northeast Army react. There are nearly 100,000 troops in the Northeast, and there are more Northeast Army troops in the Pingjin and Tianjin areas. Once the offensive is blocked, not only these two brigades, but even the entire Kwantung Army will be in danger of being destroyed.

"

Itagaki Seishiro had to admit at this time that the plan itself took great risks, especially after encountering the stubborn resistance of the Northeastern Army. He knew very well the "habits" of the Chinese people. When things were frustrated, they would choose negotiation or

They would give in, but once they were in a stalemate, or if they were lucky enough to hold Shenyang, they would spend all their money and property to fight back. This can be seen from the fact that the old woman in the late Qing Dynasty dared to declare war on all nations.

"Itagaki-kun, what did the Commander say?"

"Don't worry, my old friend. The Second Division will launch an attack on Beidaying in two hours." Seishiro Itagaki said with a smile, "I guarantee you, as long as we take Shenyang, the Chinese will definitely find us.

Let's negotiate. This is their national bad nature. As long as they are frightened, they will beg for mercy like dogs. The current desperate counterattack is just hard work. Compared with the two ** teams, they can only accept it.

A fate waiting to be slaughtered. The Chinese people will have no miracles in front of the empire."

"Report"

At this moment, a Japanese soldier walked up to the two men and reported: "Sir, a large number of Chinese troops have appeared behind us and have blocked our retreat."

"What?? The Chinese want to surround us."

When they learned that the Northeastern Army wanted to eat two brigades of Japanese troops, Ishihara and Wanji were shocked. The thing they feared most happened.

At this time, the two young men could not guarantee that the two brigades of Japanese troops would be able to withstand the encirclement attack of more than 8,000 Northeastern troops.

"Let all the ministries defend on the spot and wait for reinforcements. Whether the empire's military fortunes will prosper or not depends on this battle. You must not let down the emperor's hope."

Ishihara Kanji and others quickly agreed with the Japanese commanders of these two miscellaneous brigades. The Japanese army shifted from offense to defense. Heavy artillery was of little use at this time, and could only rely on small-caliber artillery to assist operations.

Qu Zhongyi personally led a company of special operations battalion to participate in the roundabout encirclement. When he and other soldiers from the Beida Battalion launched a charge, they truly felt the power of the Japanese army.

It was a defensive operation just now, and the excellent combat quality of the Japanese army was not fully reflected, but when they transitioned from attackers to defenders, their combat level was clearly demonstrated.

Whether it's rifle shooting, heavy machine gun fire, or even throwing grenades, the Japanese army is better than the Northeast Army. It has higher accuracy when shooting, is better at concealing itself, and is better at finding and attacking enemies.

Position, these Japanese troops are all well-trained professional soldiers, and they are indeed much stronger than the Northeastern Army.

"Boom... bang bang bang... da da da da..."

The battle continued, and the Northeastern Army also launched a desperate charge against the surrounded more than 2,000 Japanese troops. In the eyes of most Northeastern officers and soldiers, the Japanese army only had more than 2,000 people, so how could it withstand the attack of 7,000 to 8,000 people.

However, when this kind of attack was also subject to night and complex terrain, and behind the ruins, the Northeast Army's attack also had little effect.

The Japanese army quickly shrank into a ball, like a coiled snake, and the circular defensive belt blocked the attack of the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army's 7th Brigade.

"Damn it, if only he had a cannon."

Looking at the Japanese army's iron barrel formation, Qu Zhongyi was angry again. It's not that the Northeast Army didn't have artillery. Although most of them were in the Shenyang arsenal, there was also a batch of artillery in the Beida camp. But because of the betrayal of the traitors, the artillery

The camp area had long been covered by Japanese heavy artillery fire, causing heavy losses.

However, he was still dissatisfied with the upper echelons of the Northeastern Army. A large number of advanced weapons were either in warehouses or delayed in distribution. Do they really have to wait for the Japanese to invade Shenyang and seize them all to satisfy those upper echelons?
