Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Mukden, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

After receiving the message from the army aviation, Commander Honjo Fan was immediately furious.

"Baga, this cunning Zhang Xiaoliu, is he preparing to go to war with the empire?"

Kenji Doihara put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the commander suspiciously.

"Your Excellency Commander, didn't Zhang Xiaoliu obey Jinling's order and have already evacuated Shanhaiguan? What's wrong? "

Itachi Seishiro and Ishihara Wan'er on the side also came up curiously.

When they saw the telegram from the 38th Mixed Brigade in Suizhong Province, they were all full of surprise.

Ishihara's brows couldn't help but frown.

"Zhang Xiaoliu saw that the general trend had passed, and decisively withdrew to Guanxi, just to avoid a full-scale war with us, resulting in a loss of strength.

Because he knows our strength, once he loses, not only the four northeastern provinces are lost, but the northeast army is also finished, then he is also finished.

After all, he still has the territory of Pingjin, and there is a way back, so he will never dare to fight us.

However, he is now building a position in Shanhaiguan, which is indeed somewhat abnormal. "

Itachi Seishiro sneered, "Maybe he wants to regain a little face with us, which is used to cover up his loss of Manchuria." "

Honjo got up, snorted coldly, and said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Then let the imperial katana smash his last fantasy." "

"Order the 38th Brigade to launch an attack and let the Army Aviation Bombing Squadron assist in the attack, and let the heavy artillery of the Empire shoot the shells into the pass, and I will use the blood of the Northeast Army to deter those who are about to move."

Packing up this group of Northeast Army, a fully formed 38th brigade regiment plus army aviation is enough.

After fighting for several months, he already knew the falsehood of this group of Northeast Army.

The commander of the 38th Mixed Brigade, Kimura Hyotaro, smiled with satisfaction after receiving the order from the Kwantung Army headquarters.

"Yo Xi, according to the original plan, launch an attack on the positions of the Chinese people, and today we must break through their Jiujiang River defense line and take Shanhaiguan.

I would like to see if it is the strongest pass in the world in China, or our heavy artillery is powerful. "

The former enemy general headquarters of Shanhaiguan was set up behind the Jiujiang River defense line, and it was also the headquarters of the new First Division.

Because only the closer to the battlefield, Huang Huanran can better command the troops.

After all, he had just taken over this force and did not run in.

"Division commander, the Jiujiang River defense line called, and found that many reconnaissance cavalry units of the Japanese army have been dispersed by firepower."

Huang Huanran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "It seems that it is about to start, so let's start." "

The speed of the 38th mixed brigade of the Japanese army was very fast.

Their large force arrived in front of the Jiujiang River defense line at about 2 p.m., and artillery fire had already been deployed.

The 38th Mixed Brigade was composed of the 73rd and 76th Infantry Wings of the 19th Division, the 27th Cavalry Wing, the 2nd Field Artillery Group and the 19th Engineer Group.

The total strength reached more than 5,000 people, with 16 Type 91 105-mm field howitzers.

Coupled with the Type 92 infantry guns and mortars equipped by the infantry wing, there are dozens of guns.

And the Northeast Army they faced lost their armor and armor, and they were far inferior to them in artillery fire.

When the 16 Type 91 105 howitzers had finished preparing their fire, the general offensive began.

"Boom.... Rumble..... Boom..."

The artillery fired in unison, and the dense shells began to smash into the positions of the Jiujiang River defense line.

Suddenly, artillery fire erupted on the position, shrouded in smoke from the explosion.

Under the scorching of the shell explosion, the snow on the position melted into water and dripped down the wall rock to the mouth of the anti-gun hole.

A regiment of more than 3,000 soldiers huddled in freshly dug anti-gun holes and cat's ear holes.

"His grandmother's, if it weren't for not to scare them away, our shells would definitely have smashed them."

Feeling the violent shaking from the ground, an officer cursed.

For half an hour, under the shroud of artillery fire, there was no longer a single figure in the Jiujiang River position.

The 73rd Infantry Wing launched a full-line offensive.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the densely packed Japanese troops stepped on the ice of the Jiujiang River and swarmed towards the position.

At the same time, their Type 92 infantry guns and Type 11 mortars joined the shelling.

"His grandmother's, the little devil bullied me without artillery, ordered the whole regiment of artillery, bombarded my mother's."

The Japanese had already launched an offensive, and there was no need to hide their artillery fire.

The artillery battalion under the regiment was armed with 101 105-mm howitzers of the M6 type.

Each infantry battalion is also equipped with six 82-mm mortars and nine 60-mm mortars.

Here are 18 82-mm mortars and 27 60-mm mortars.

Six M101 105-mm howitzers launched a counterattack against the Japanese Second Artillery Group.

The mortars, on the other hand, were aimed at the little devil's infantry guns, mortars and attacking troops.

"Boom boom

Dense shells took off from the rear of a regiment of positions almost simultaneously.

Looking at the dense incoming shells, the brigade commander Kimura Hyotaro who watched this scene was stunned.

The shells fell densely on the Second Artillery Group and the crowd of the attacking troops.

A dense explosion was set off.

The Battle of Shanhaiguan, which shook the whole country, began.
