"Damn it, the Chinese dared to come out and attack in the daytime.
It seems that the success of their defensive battle made them a little too carried away, thinking that they could challenge the imperial army head-on."
Muto Nobuyoshi punched the table with his fist, and he couldn't hide the look of anger on his face.
The number of casualties in the attack on Fengtian City in these days was more than 9,000, and the number of casualties reached an astonishing 5,000.
Although the minor injuries could not leave the line of fire, But there were still thousands of seriously injured people lying in the rear.
These are the elite imperial troops, There are military attachés from the great powers in Fengtian City, and there are even many journalists from the great powers.
After Honjo Shige, Muto Nobuyoshi once again tarnished Japan's international reputation.
After replenishment at this time, the number of Japanese troops outside Fengtian City once again reached more than 50,000.
But on average, more than a thousand people were killed or injured every day.
This rate of casualties is so staggering.
"The Chinese Army still maintains sufficient air superiority for the time being.
Even if the attack is frustrated, the main force can withdraw to defensive positions.
It is difficult for us to inflict a lot of damage on it. " Okamura Neji said in a deep voice.
"But this commander of the China Army is extremely difficult to deal with.
From the evening of September 18 to now, it can be said that his series of commands are extremely outstanding.
No one else can do better than him.
Yes.
With the exception of Zhang Xueliang, who did not directly participate in the battle, Northeast China had already created a counterattack against the empire through Jiang Li's efforts.
In the most unfavorable situation, it is extremely unrealistic to expect him to make mistakes in command."
Muto Nobuyoshi calmly slammed his fist on the table and said, "Since the China Army has chosen to carry out a retaliatory counterattack at this time, then let's fight with the China Army.
Let's have a hard fight to dampen the spirit of the Chinese army and let them know the fact that the emperor is better than them."
Okamura Neiji nodded, morale is an extremely important thing.
It can be said that the reason why the Fengtian defenders were able to achieve extraordinary results was not only because Jiang Li created the most favorable conditions for the defenders, but also since the September 18th Incident.
The defenders' series of victories also created their understanding of the Japanese army as nothing more than this.
I no longer have any fear of the Japanese army.
There is even a feeling that the Japanese army is nothing more than this.
When facing the Japanese army, 100% of the combat power can be used to exert 120%.
And like Zhang Xueliang’s troops and horses, With fear rising from above and below, It would be good to be able to exert at most 70% to 80% of your 100% ability.
Like last night's brutal hand-to-hand battle at Position 5, if it had been any other Chinese army, Okamura Neiji would have felt that the opponent would not be able to sustain it, but the troops brought out by Jiang Li gritted their teeth and finally defeated them.
The Japanese troops were driven out of their positions.
Okamura Neiji also felt that he must fundamentally defeat this mentality of the China Army, otherwise he would allow this mentality to grow.
It will be extremely detrimental to future battles between the empire and the Chinese army.
"There is also a piece of more favorable news.
The intelligence personnel of the Special High School Course code-named Black Cat just sent a message that the China Army has successfully built two airports.
However, the aviation gasoline of the China Army was previously based on fifty planes.
During this period since Zhang Xueliang's participation in the war, more than 40 aircraft purchased from the Czech Republic were assembled in batches.
However, the large increase in the number of aircraft also caused a shortage of aviation gasoline.
Consumption is increasing at an extremely fast rate.
Judging from the frequency of Chinese military aircraft appearing in recent days, the Chinese military's aviation gasoline is likely to be in short supply.
The forward airports built by the empire in Benxi, Dagou Township and other places will be completed one after another.
At this time, I thought that on the one hand, I should let the secret service agencies in Peiping and Shanghai disrupt the purchase of aviation gasoline by the China Army, and on the other hand, I should prevent the China Army from destroying the airport built by the empire. " "Well, I will contact the Special Higher Education Department about this.
The information provided by Okamura-kun is extremely important.
"Muto Nobuyoshi nodded.
Although Okamura Neiji is still only a deputy staff officer, his importance has surpassed that of his chief of staff.
This time when entering the Northeast, Muto Nobuyoshi relied heavily on this assistant.

"Quick, speed up, we must reinforce the 39th Composite Brigade before the China Army retreats and give the China Army a severe blow."
Ozawa led one infantry regiment after another and quickly rushed to the independent 39th Composite Brigade defense area.
At this time, the 39 mixed brigade will not be exhausted for a while.
After all, 40,000 to 50,000 Japanese troops are stationed outside Fengtian City.
With Muto Xinyi and Okamura Neiji's caution, they will never leave any big gaps for Jiang.
Vertical drill.
The Japanese army had ample time to support the 39th Mixed Brigade.
A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot.
Even Jiang Li did not expect that Dongta Airport had consumed a lot of fuel, and the aviation gasoline reserves were not optimistic enough.
For this reason, Jiang Li had to urgently purchase fuel through Charlie, and also urgently arranged for personnel to go to Peking, Tianjin, and even Shanghai buys gasoline.
The quality of the heavy oil extracted from shale oil at the Japanese shale oil refinery in Fushun was not very good.
When the Fushun heavy oil plant was occupied, several thousand tons of heavy oil were obtained, but not a drop of gasoline.
In addition to purchasing gasoline, Jiang Li also asked Charlie to help purchase a batch of oil drilling rigs and new equipment for refining oil.
This was to make up for the situation.
At this time, it was undoubtedly very difficult to transport the goods from Fengtian City to Shaanxi.
He could later go to Shaanxi, Japan People occupy the Northeast, and it will only be more difficult to transport these supplies.
Even so, dozens of cannons at this time, In addition, the dozen or so bombers that appeared over the 39th Mixed Brigade were enough to make the 39th Mixed Brigade drink a bottle.
Explosions occurred one after another.
Although the power of the heavy artillery shells was great, it was on the point, while the mortars of the Fengtian defenders were on the surface.
Mortars also played a sufficient role in destroying the simple fortifications repaired by the Japanese army in a short period of time.
At this time, the mortar factory was still increasing its horsepower for production.
In the past, due to lack of funds, Fengtian Arsenal could usually operate for seven or eight hours a day.
Even in order to subsidize the expenses of the arsenal, Zhang Xueliang also asked the arsenal to produce some civilian utensils, such as washbasins, ironware, buckets, etc.
At this time, the mortar factory was working in several shifts day and night.
In more than half a month, more than 26,000 rounds of various types were produced.
Compared with the air supremacy at this time, the Fengtian City defenders had an absolute advantage in terms of replenishment of artillery shells, both in terms of quantity and transportation distance.
After the Japanese army launched a fierce attack, they had to weaken the intensity of the attack for two days accordingly, just to wait for sufficient ammunition transportation from the rear.
Relatively speaking, this method of feeding cannonballs is open, It also allowed the quality of Fengtian City's artillery to improve rapidly.
There was a loud bang of mortars, and in just one and a half hours, two gaps appeared in the first line of defense.
The Chinese army on the opposite side did not seem to have the intention of rushing in directly for hand-to-hand combat.
Instead, they took advantage of their firepower and used their weapons over and over again.
The shells plowed back and forth on the 39th Mixed Brigade's position.
Putting down the telescope, Ueno Kamefu's face turned ugly for a moment.
He had no choice but to deal with the current situation of being suppressed by the Chinese army.
He was inferior to others and could only wait patiently for the arrival of reinforcements
