"Come on, long live Japan!"
Fengtian City was in chaos, with fierce gunfire everywhere, mainly the sound of Japanese 38 guns and machine guns, and fire and fighting sounds everywhere!
The Japanese attack this time was carried out in four directions at the same time. It seemed that they would not stop until Fengtian City was captured. Originally, three of the four gates of Fengtian City had fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. Now they just opened the gates secretly.
Led the Japanese troops outside the city in and launched a fierce attack on the Northeastern Army stationed in the city!
This time, in order to capture Fengten City in one fell swoop, the Japanese army mobilized Hirata Yukihiro's 29th Regiment and Oshima Rikutaro's 3rd Regiment under the 3rd Brigade of the Second Division, Nagabe Teru, respectively. The troops were divided into multiple groups.
At the same time, they launched a fierce attack on the Northeastern Army's garrison inside and outside Fengtian City, trying to control Fengtian City in the shortest possible time!
Those who attacked the four city gates of Fengtian were four brigades of the 29th Regiment of the Japanese Kwantung Army. These Japanese soldiers were all elites of the Kwantung Army and had very strong combat effectiveness. They also launched a sudden attack, catching the Northeastern Army by surprise.
Because they were not mentally prepared, when the Japanese army launched a fierce attack, the soldiers of the 7th Brigade of the Kwantung Army guarding the four city gates were immediately at a disadvantage. For a short time, except for the North City Gate where Tang Shaofeng was stationed, they were still resisting with the help of fortifications.
The remaining three city gates all fell completely. The Northeast Army troops responsible for guarding the city gates were defeated and fled towards the city!
The Japanese army captured three city gates, and the large forces that had already assembled outside the city immediately entered the city through those three gates and began to launch an orderly attack according to the plan.
Groups of Japanese soldiers with steel helmets on their heads and 38-meter caps in their hands rushed fiercely along the spacious streets towards the streets where the Northeastern Army was stationed, then quickly defeated the defending Northeastern Army soldiers, and then continued to rush towards the next position!
Although the Japanese army had the upper hand, the soldiers of the Northeastern Army spontaneously organized defense and resisted step by step. They had long forgotten the above-mentioned order not to counterattack. They only had one thought in their minds, which was to fight the Japanese to the bitter end, fighting every step of the way.
Fight and never give in!
Every inch of mountains and rivers, every inch of blood, one hundred thousand flags and one hundred thousand soldiers, I don’t know how many soldiers of the Northeast Army participated in this spontaneous resistance action, but the streets and alleys of Fengtian were full of gunfire and fighting sounds of struggling resistance!
The Japanese army advanced very hard. Although they were well-trained, Fengtian was the territory of the Northeast Army after all, and they were much more familiar with it, so they had to pay a heavy price for every step forward!
The streets were littered with corpses, including those of Northeastern Army soldiers and Japanese soldiers. Speaking of which, there were more corpses of Northeastern Army soldiers.
This has something to do with the combat effectiveness of both sides. Although these soldiers of the Northeast Army fought bravely, they relied on their passion. If they really fought, their shortcomings would be exposed over time, which would gradually affect the outcome of the battle!
"Kill!"
A Northeastern Army soldier pulled out his bayonet from the Japanese soldier's body, screamed and rushed towards the Japanese crowd. Behind him, there was no longer a Northeastern Army soldier!
An entire platoon, dozens of soldiers, all died in front of this temporary fortification, leaving only this soldier who had just joined the army less than a month ago.
Although he was the only one left, this new soldier still charged towards the group of Japanese soldiers on the opposite side with his bayonet straight out without fear!
The sharp bayonets in the hands of more than thirty Japanese soldiers were pointed at the soldier at the same time. Then several of the bayonets deflected his bayonet thrusts, and the remaining bayonets suddenly penetrated the soldier's body from the left and right, and then violently
Pull it out!
In the violent rush of blood, bright red blood gushed out from the young warrior's mouth, and then his body swayed, and then he fell to the ground and never got up again!
The Japanese soldiers rushed past him and crossed the positions that these Northeastern Army soldiers defended with their own blood. These soldiers who advocated the spirit of bushido all consciously avoided the corpses of those Northeastern Army soldiers, and no one trampled on their corpses.
And passed!
As the Japanese army pressed forward step by step, half of Fengtian City had fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, while the remaining East City and North City were still in the hands of the Northeastern Army. About a regiment of soldiers guarded the simple fortifications and fought with the Japanese.
A tug of war!
The smoke was thick and shrapnel was flying. The Japanese army was located at the artillery position near Fengtian Railway Station. Mountain cannons, field guns and howitzers almost never stopped. The shells roared across the sky and exploded in the urban area where the Northeastern Army still defended.
.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally intact courtyard houses collapsed and turned into ruins. Beside the collapsed door, a young mother hugged her one-month-old child and lay on the threshold with her head facing outward.
On her thin body, there was a beam burning with fire.
The clear cry of the child echoed in the ink-black night, and it sounded so clear! At this moment, the whistling sound of artillery shells came from the sky, and it was getting closer and closer.
With a deafening explosion, the child's crisp cry stopped abruptly and never sounded again. It just became a part of people's memory.
Such tragedies happen almost every moment, with blood and groans everywhere, broken houses and burning trees everywhere!
The 1st Battalion of the 547th Regiment of the Northeast Army, led by the battalion commander Jiang Hanlin, guarded the line from Daximen to Xiaoximen. Together with some other sporadic troops, they blocked the Japanese attack and stopped them at the line of Daximen Street;
Deng Hui, commander of the second battalion of the 547th Regiment, led less than two companies to defend Dadongmen Street, allowing the Japanese army to return in vain after several fierce attacks.
As for the fiercest battle, it was around the North City Gate where the Third Battalion was stationed, especially the North City Gate where Tang Shaofeng was stationed. The battle had reached a fever pitch. The positions of both sides changed hands several times, and Tang Shaofeng's position was attacked by the Japanese several times.
People snatched them away, but in the end he led others to take them back!
However, his company also suffered heavy casualties, and now there are less than two platoons left, and most of them are injured.
"No matter what, we must hold the position. Even if the last person dies, the position must not be lost!" Tang Shaofeng hid behind the fortifications, shooting outside and roaring, so that the soldiers could hear it clearly!
"People are in position!"
The soldiers also yelled at their necks, the sound shook the surrounding areas and shook the dark clouds in the sky!
"Company Commander, the Japs on the right are coming up again!" At this time, a soldier responsible for observation shouted loudly, and then he was shot through the head by a bullet and fell silently on the sandbag!
Tang Shaofeng turned his head when he heard the sound and couldn't help but cursed, "Grandma, there are so many little devils!"
