In fact, the lethality of poison gas bombs was still unexpected by Jiang Li.
The Japanese army fired at least thousands of poison gas bombs, killing more than 4,360 people and injuring 2,127 people, more than 6,000 casualties, and more than a brigade.
The Japanese troops were directly reduced to empty frames and defended by fortifications.
If the Japanese army wanted to kill so many defenders, they almost had to pay similar losses in the fierce street fighting.
Jiang Li was extremely angry and his face was as dark as water that night, but Zhao Yi, Wang Zhiyou and others present all felt Jiang Li's rage.
But knowing Jiang Li, Jiang Li was extremely cautious in using troops when he was angry.
That night, while the defenders suffered huge losses, Jiang Li personally commanded a brigade of more than 5,000 troops to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese army.
After a tentative attack, the Japanese army's originally moderate firepower declined, which further convinced Jiang Li that the Japanese army's artillery shell consumption was too high.
Immediately, two more brigades were added to the attacking team, with a total strength of nearly 15,000 troops.
With hundreds of mortars as the main force, some mountain artillery, and field artillery as supplements, they launched a wave of attacks in the dark night.
Counterattack frenzy.
The Japanese army did not expect that Jiang Li could immediately organize such a large counterattack after being attacked by poison gas bombs.
Even if the large-caliber artillery still had a small number of shells, its effect in the dark was very limited, not as good as mortars.
A cannon with a short range and rapid fire rate.
The battle raged for most of the night, and the night was almost turned into day by the fire from the artillery shells.
In the Japanese military camp, the sparse tents were burning.
When Jiang Li led his team to retreat, the original Japanese position was in ruins.
Casualties also numbered in the thousands.
Since the outer trenches were lost, the defenders have not taken the initiative to take action.
Because of this, the Japanese army took risks and shot down most of the artillery shells.
Jiang Li's surprise attack was like a fierce right hook hitting the enemy.
On the chin.
The newly appointed commander of the Kwantung Army, Matsui Iwane, was slapped hard by the defenders of Fengtian City before he could even sit down.
While Matsui Iwane asked people to quickly count the casualties, major newspapers in Peiping successively published articles about the Japanese army's violations.
According to the Geneva Convention, news of the large-scale use of poison gas bombs in Fengtian City was also published.
Among them, the report by American war correspondent Shanna was the most eye-catching.
Shanna's extensive report on the battle in Fengtian has been the target of everyone's pursuit during this period.
The front page this time was when Jiang Li took the telescope a few inches away from his glasses, his expression as indifferent as ever.
In front of Jiang Li were broken walls and broken tiles, while corpses lay scattered on the street, with large stains of blood.
Burning flames, soldiers marching in formation in the distance, A battlefield of blood and fire.
The once most powerful city in the north has now been reduced to ruins.
"This was a bloody and tragic war.
More than 300,000 troops from both sides gathered outside Fengtian City.
At least 100,000 people had fallen on this land at this time.
The war is still going on.
The Japanese army has more reinforcements than ever before.
One day, Japanese planes were able to arrive at Fengtian City at any time and bombard them indiscriminately.
Under such a cruel environment, Commander Jiang would personally inspect every defense line of Fengtian City.
I have never seen a general who can attack Fengtian City.
I learned this on the battlefield The situation, and these understandings are based on the experience of measuring every inch of the place step by step.
Most of the nearly one million people in Fengtian City have evacuated, but Commander Jiang is still making a last-ditch effort to return Fengtian City.
Fengtian fights against the entire Japan.
This is a war whose outcome has already been determined.
It is a desperate war.
At least that is what I think.

However, when I asked Commander Jiang, Commander Jiang said to me with a smile. , This is not despair, but renewal.
Commander Jiang said something that my friends and I have always been deeply impressed by.
Due to the lack of sufficient support, the war situation in Fengtian City has deteriorated sharply.
I also had to leave Fengtian.
Before leaving, I asked Commander Jiang to do one last interview, but I never thought about the core idea of this interview.
Later, Commander Jiang said this to me. " "Even if Fengtian City fights to the point of running out of ammunition and reinforcements, even if this is a war whose outcome is already doomed.
Even if the national power between China and Japan is a hundred times different, I will not regret the choice now, nor will I regret it because of There is no hope in the lack of support, although some people still have luck, but the cruel fact is before us, a full-scale war between China and Japan is coming. , Japan will never stop its aggression.
Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China has been in a state of fragmentation.
The civil war has been continuous for many years.
The greatest opportunity for China to rise from the ashes.
The contradiction between China and Japan has overwhelmed all domestic contradictions.
The consciousness of the Chinese people is about life and death.
There will be an unprecedented awakening.
Those who avoid war and are afraid of war will sooner or later be crushed by the rolling wheels of history and abandoned by the times.
Those outstanding people who dare to face difficulties and help China in times of crisis will also be supported by 400,000 people across the country. " "China's greatest disaster is not the threat of the Japanese invaders.
It is that the national consciousness has not yet fully awakened.
Once the will of the 40 million people of the country is united, with unlimited manpower, thousands of kilometers in the east, west, north, and south will be strategically positioned.
Japan alone cannot achieve its goal of destroying China.
So even if I am defeated this time, even if countless cities will be reduced to ruins like Fengtian City, I will not despair, because there will be countless people like the 100,000 soldiers who died in Fengzai City, who will step forward and create a new wave of strength.
Will will rise from the ruins, and the Chinese nation will gain from this New life, and Japan is just a whetstone for our re-emergence.
Only after experiencing this kind of pain that is torn to pieces and even penetrates deep into the soul, can we continue to review this painful lesson in the years to come and move forward with a more steady pace.
On the road to revival and rise.
The defense battle of Fengtian is coming to an end, but our resistance will not be interrupted because of this, so the last battle is called the new life on Feixu.
This is a new beginning."
"One hundred thousand soldiers rested in Fengtian City.
The new life on the ruins is good.
Well, there are finally a few innocent people in the Republic of China."
Near Tsinghua University, Xiong Dazhen, Wang Dexi and others were holding newspapers with indignant expressions and clenched their fists.
I wish I could be like those soldiers, Pick up swords and guns and join in this war against Japan that was unprecedented in the decades before the Republic of China.
"It's just a pity that we have to travel across the ocean at this juncture and can't join this war."
"I heard that this large-scale organization of students to study abroad was also the intention of Commander Jiang.
In Commander Jiang's words, each battlefield is different.
The battlefield of soldiers is on the front line.
Our battlefield is to learn the most cutting-edge knowledge and come back to arm those soldiers.
"Wang Dexi said with the same determination.
In the face of national crisis, these students are at their most passionate.
"Then go abroad.
Commander Jiang is right.
What we lack now is the most advanced technology and knowledge.
It will only take a few years, but we will always come back."
Xiong Dazhen nodded and said
