    Chapter 751: Sweeping across Western Liaoning

    With three and a half brigades, Feng Jiwu fought bravely into the more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops. With his fierce fighting power, the Kwantung Army troops were in chaos and successfully held them back for more than an hour.  The chasing troops commanded by Tang Qiuli gained valuable time.  {}

    The thunder hit the head with a single blow, and the defeat was irreversible. The commander of the Kwantung Army's southward troops, Lieutenant General Yano Otonzaburo, hurriedly issued the order to retreat to Jinzhou. Before he could get into the car, he was involuntarily held hostage by the soldiers.  Fleeing to the direction of Jinzhou, the poor Commander Yano Otozaburo had only a few guards around him, and not even a shadow of the attentive staff and staff who usually surrounded him.

    There was another fierce interception, and gunshots rang out like exploding beans. There were battlefields everywhere around Xingcheng. After joining Feng Jiwu's troops, the ** Division's pursuit troops captured more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers.  Divide and encircle, each brigade is competing to kill the surrounded Japanese army. Such a small number of Kwantung Army troops obviously did not satisfy Tang Qiuli's appetite. He issued an order to leave four brigades of troops responsible for destroying the besieged Japanese army.  And occupied Xingcheng and surrounding areas, and developed northward to eliminate the Kwantung Army garrison troops scattered in various places.

    The rest of the troops immediately threw away the Japanese troops in front of them and continued to pursue them. They did not give the fleeing Kwantung Army troops any chance to breathe. The soldiers had no choice but to put down the fat on their lips, swallowing saliva wildly, and walked along Xingcheng to  The highway in Jinzhou chased the Kwantung Army soldiers from behind.

    The Ninth Division of the Kwantung Army is also an elite unit in the Kwantung Army's battle sequence. The full strength of the division is more than 28,000. Fortunately, the Ninth Division was not ambushed in Niuxin Mountain.  , the organization was intact, but it was disrupted after a fierce air attack by the ** Division Air Force. However, the division commander, Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian, still had the strength of two regiments, which was really unfortunate.  Fortunately.

    After being continuously ambushed, air raided, flanked, and pursued, Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian knew very well that if the Chinese army was allowed to pursue it like this, the army would eventually be dispersed, divided, surrounded, and annihilated one by one. The command system of the army had already fallen into a trap.  In a state of confusion, he called his commander, Lieutenant General Otonzaburo Yano, several times, but was unable to reach him.

    It must be that during the desperate escape, Suwon Yongjian even cursed this small restaurant selling miso soup. He was from a family and the commander was not in the mood. At the critical moment, he calmed down. Only by establishing a blocking front could he avoid the fate of the entire army being annihilated.  , when everyone is scrambling to escape, let me, Suwon, make sacrifices for the entire army, for His Majesty the Emperor, for the Kwantung Army, and even more for the honor of the Emperor of Japan, he murmured in his heart.

    Suwon Yongjian was still very resourceful. He ordered all the commanders and soldiers of the two regiments who were always following him to stand on the road, facing the Kwantung Army soldiers who were fleeing like a tide, and shouted: "This is the Ninth Division.  At the assembly area, all officers and soldiers of the Ninth Division must assemble immediately." Not only that, Suwon also ordered the escorting flag squadron to raise the flag of the Ninth Division and plant it in the middle of the road.

    These two tactics were very effective. The Ninth Division was also regarded as an elite unit of the Kwantung Army. Lower-level commanders of the Ninth Division, just like seeing their family members, came to gather with their soldiers and formed a coalition.  Suwon immediately ordered to build blocking fortifications on the spot. In less than an hour, Suwon gathered more than 20,000 troops.

    Looking at the running soldiers who were out of breath, Suwon felt sad. In one night, the army lost more than 8,000 troops. My division has been seriously injured. Can the remaining soldiers return to the homeland alive?  The answer is no. Just look at the dust rising from behind and the flood of pursuing soldiers. How will this blocking battle end? Suwon is just doing his duty as a soldier. Suiyuan looks at the people running past him indifferently.  The soldier's expression showed indescribable contempt and anger. He felt extremely ashamed. None of these people were worthy of being warriors of the Yamato nation.

    In a hurry, Suwon established two blocking positions, and his command quality is commendable. The Japanese soldiers of the Ninth Division had just dug out their personal bunkers, and the pursuing Japanese soldiers were swept up by the first wave.  The Japanese soldiers blocking the defense line opened fire. Unfortunately, there was neither artillery fire support nor the heavy machine guns and mortars normally equipped, and they were all lost during the retreat.

    There were sparse bullets, mixed with the roar of a few crooked light machine guns. The soldiers of the Japanese division who were caught off guard were hit by the sudden bullets, and the rest hurriedly fell down, leaving the Kwantung Army soldiers stunned.  What appears is that during the pursuit, after encountering a blockage, quickly switch to an offensive mode.

    This is, after the first batch of soldiers were hit and the soldiers behind them fell down, in less than three minutes, hundreds of mortars appeared in front of the Kwantung Army soldiers, as if they were summoned out of thin air.The first artillery shell was fired from the muzzle. This was one of the earliest field brigades established by Tang Qiuli. After countless battles, the commander's adaptability and the individual combat quality of the soldiers exceeded that of any corps.  .

    The artillery shells roared and fell on the heads of the Kwantung Army soldiers. The fire flashed, shrapnel flew horizontally, and clouds of gunpowder smoke rose. Then, more and more mortars and Type 92 infantry guns joined in the bombardment of the Kwantung Army's 9th Division.  In the blocking position, the soldiers of the 9th Division, who had no support from artillery fire or heavy weapons, could only lie helplessly in the individual bunkers that were only enough to cover their bodies, praying to Amaterasu that the shells would not fall on their heads.

    After receiving a report from the troops at the front, the Kwantung Army had established blocking positions along the line from Xingcheng to Yangjiao. Our troops were conducting artillery bombardment. Tang Qiuli was stunned. In such a huge rout, how could the Kwantung Army be able to defeat the enemy in such a short period of time?  In such a panic situation, the Kwantung Army generals have good offensive and defensive conversion capabilities and adaptability to establish blocking positions. This is a waste of effort. Even if more than 200,000 Kwantung Army troops are all transferred to field blocking, it will not change. He must completely  Determination to defeat this heavily armed group of the Kwantung Army.

    "Order, all artillery units are immediately deployed on the spot to bombard the Kwantung Army's defensive positions. I will pass here in an hour." Tang Qiuli briefly issued the order, which meant that the artillery units following the troops would be ready within an hour.  Within, it is necessary to complete the task of establishing artillery positions and covering the Kwantung Army blocking positions with artillery fire to open the way for the infantry to continue advancing.

    This is not an easy task. The advancing artillery unit requires extremely strong adaptability and requires the soldiers to train hard. Zheng Yong, who received the order from the division commander, immediately issued an order to the entire artillery unit. The speeding artillery truck,  He immediately stopped, unloaded the cannon, and got busy nervously. Zheng Yong had been appointed by Tang Qiuli as the commander of the ** Division Artillery Unit and the Commander of the First Artillery Brigade. His first brigade was the first to complete the artillery preparations.

    While issuing the order, Zheng Yong had already communicated with the frontline infantry commanders and reported back data one by one. Forty minutes later, the first round of artillery bombardment began. The overwhelming large-caliber artillery shells hit the soldiers in the individual bunkers.  The Kwantung Army soldiers exploded high into the sky. Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction. Zheng Yong's movements were quite fast.

    The large-caliber heavy artillery of the artillery unit, the mortars and Type 92 infantry guns of the forward troops, and the Japanese blocking positions that were set up in a hurry, poured out artillery shells, which were enough to destroy any living thing in the area covered by the artillery fire. After an hour, there was no more Kanto.  The blocking position of the Ninth Division of the Army was already in place. Except for craters everywhere, lingering smoke, and gradually disappearing smoke, there was no trace of life.

    There was scorched earth everywhere, and more than 20,000 Kwantung Army soldiers served as cannon fodder and became the life-saving straw for most of the Kwantung Army soldiers, delaying the pursuit of the pursuers for an hour. Lieutenant General Suwon Yongjian, commander of the 9th Division,  No trace of his existence could be seen. Together with his more than 20,000 soldiers, he turned into a wandering ghost in the northeastern sky, and the entire ninth division was wiped out.

    All this has nothing to do with the dizzy commander, Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo, who was retreating. He heard the fierce sound of artillery coming from behind, and it was getting farther and farther. He asked the guards around him doubtfully: "It's our troops who are fighting with us."  "Is the Chinese army fighting?" A guard replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, it may be the troops of the head of the Suwon Division." Hearing the guard's words, Yano Otonzaburo felt sour in his heart. I'm afraid this guy Suwon is.  Among the entire army, he was the only one who could stand out after the defeat.

    In the afternoon, the defeated Kwantung Army troops had reached the outskirts of Jinzhou, the Nuerhe River area, and they would be able to enter Jinzhou City in more than 20 kilometers. By then, Jinzhou's solid city defenses would be able to stop the pursuing Chinese army.  The general headquarters sent reinforcements to drive them out of Manchuria again.

    As long as you can take a breath, things have not reached the level of despair. Not only Yano Otonzaburo thinks this way, but almost all Kwantung Army commanders at all levels and even ordinary soldiers think this way. Jinzhou has become a lost Kwantung Army unit.  The only hope.

    Half of the Kwantung Army troops had already crossed the Nvnu River and were scrambling to get ahead. The chaotic and peaceful land suddenly began to tremble. On the distant horizon, in the direction of Jinzhou, smoke and dust rose up, covering the sky and the sun.  The midday sunshine rolled in with a kind of coercion, nerve-destroying pressure, and then, there was a muffled sound like thunder, striking the already fragile heart of every Kwantung Army soldier.

    All the Kwantung Army soldiers stopped moving and looked doubtfully at the direction of the smoke and thunder. The smoke and Shen Lei were getting closer and closer. What appeared in the sight of the Kwantung Army soldiers was first reflected in the noon sun.  The cold white saber was like a forest of steel, and then countless war horses shot over like flying arrows. I didn't know it was a crazy Kwantung Army soldier, and screamed: "The Chinese cavalry"

    Without him shouting, all the Kwantung ArmyThe commanders and soldiers of the army all saw that the Chinese cavalry troops that were covering the sky were heading towards them.
