Except for the heavily armed soldiers, Fengtian City was now rarely visited.
The Japanese army had to first meet the transportation of weapons and ammunition.
However, the fragile logistics made it impossible to make ends meet compared with the consumption of materials transported to the front line.
The cotton-padded clothes for keeping warm are also the first thing to meet the needs of the combat troops, causing the casualties to suffer serious non-combat attrition, freezing to death and frostbite, and the number of them has skyrocketed.
Even so, many people with frostbite appeared among the originally elite Japanese troops.
Who could have imagined that his fingers were as cold as carrots and his body was still shivering while he continued to fight against the Fengtian City defenders.
Under such circumstances, he could still maintain his previous accurate shooting.
Don't be kidding.
After a considerable number of Japanese troops entered the city, they collected wood from collapsed houses to make fires to keep warm.
The temperature of the flames made their hands covered with frostbite extremely itchy.
In World War II in history, the Soviet Union used the help of severe winter to deal a heavy blow to the German army.
At this time, the severe cold in the Northeast also helped the defenders to a great extent.
If it weren't for this weather, Jiang Li would have brought a large amount of coal from Fushun in advance, as well as clothes plundered from Nanman Co., Ltd., etc.
How could they always hold on to Fengtian City under the fierce attack of the Japanese army and inflict massive casualties on the Japanese army?
"The street fighting in Fengtian City can be regarded as a classic example in the history of world war.
Although the training and equipment of the Chinese defenders were inferior to those of the Japanese army, they achieved a record that attracted world attention.
The Japanese army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties in this battle."
A few days before Jiang Li took over, the Soviet military attaché also officially left Fengtian City and left such a comment.
In order to cover up its ugliness, Japan has repeatedly denied a series of casualty reports released by Fengtian, and always reports some false casualties domestically, just like it did in World War II.
But there are always people with bright eyes, and the losses of the Japanese army on the battlefield cannot be concealed from these Soviet soldiers.
Based on the fortifications built by Jiang Li in Fengtian City, the conditions were prepared.
It can still last for a while in the severe winter.
However, after covering most of the supplies in the rear and arriving at a safe area, Jiang Li was no longer prepared to hold on.
Continuing to hold on in Fengtian City may last for another month, or even two to three months, but Jiang Li's vitality will inevitably be consumed in Fengtian City.
There will be no capital to resist Japan in the future.
Relatively speaking, 10,000 to 20,000 more Japanese troops will be killed than at present.
It is more strategic to establish an industrial base in northern Shaanxi.
Most of the ammunition in Fengtian City was consumed, and the remaining part was taken to northern Shaanxi, and part of it was scattered.
The few remaining ammunition could not withstand the consumption.
Without it, it was simply a waste of ammunition for the Japanese troops.
It was really The swords and guns fought with the Japanese army, and the losses of the anti-Japanese coalition forces were definitely more than this.
And the other most critical reason for choosing to retreat in these two days is that the wind has calmed down.
"Quickly, everything that can be moved is moved away, and everything that cannot be moved is blown up.
All the coal and grain are put on top with heavy oil and set on fire."
Winter nights always come early, and when darkness gradually falls on the earth, torches are lit in the west of Fengtian City.
In Fengtian City, the officers were nervously carrying out the final destruction, in the words of the commander.
Never leave the Japanese army a grain of food for the winter or a piece of coal for heating.
All the Japanese army could occupy was a dilapidated and abandoned city.
In the dark night, fires broke out in Fengtian City.
This unusual move was quickly caught by the hated Japanese army on the opposite side.
Thinking of the gradual decrease in the recently withdrawn supplies, Matsui Iwane unanimously believed that the China Army was about to withdraw in full.
After fighting for several months and causing such heavy casualties to the Japanese army, how could they let the Chinese troops leave so easily?
If they could eliminate some of the Chinese troops as much as possible, it would be considered as a cure for their previous bad temper.
Without those annoying fortifications in the city, for the empire's elite army, no matter how eager the Chinese army is to fight, they are no match for the emperor.
"Quickly, occupy Fengtian City.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Pursue the Chinese Army."
The Japanese commander led by Matsui Iwane realized that this was the last chance to save face in Fengtian City.
In any case, Fengtian City was captured.
Northeast is already in sight.
Brigades of Japanese troops poured into several streets of Fengtian City.
When those low-level officers and soldiers rushed into the streets, they were still frightened by the bullets and shells flying everywhere before, and they often died inadvertently the next moment.
But this time they rushed through the streets of Fengtian City and ran hundreds of meters without encountering a single bullet.
These Japanese soldiers couldn't help but be ecstatic.
These streets that devoured human lives were finally no longer the road to death. .
Fengtian City was really trampled under their feet at this moment.
Suddenly there was an unreal feeling.
The Japanese army used hundreds of thousands of people.
Even with such shocking casualties, there were still nearly 100,000 Japanese soldiers who could directly go into battle at this time.
"Onboard, onboard."
The ecstatic Japanese troops quickly attacked and occupied the place where they had suffered countless casualties before at an unimaginable speed.
"Yo Ni" Matsui Iwane, the commander of the 8th Division Nishi Yiichi, and others all looked happy.
Although the price paid this time is high, it has not exceeded the Russo-Japanese War.
Obtaining the manpower and material resources in Northeast China can be said to be an opportunity to expand Japan's national destiny again. "10 o'clock direction, distance 3276 yards, fire indiscriminately until all shells are fired."
Boo hoo hoo At this time, on the west side of Fengtian City, seventy or eighty cannons were deployed, aiming at the dilapidated Fengtian City.
Shells were quickly loaded one after another.
Howling artillery shells hit Fengtian City in the dark night in the distance.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, be careful to hide."
At this time, the streets of Fengtian City were filled with a large number of Japanese troops.
Under the bombing of the anti-Japanese coalition forces for a long time, these Japanese troops were accustomed to shelling.
However, when they heard the sound of artillery, these Japanese troops felt I feel more at ease.
It's not that they are cheap, but that the city that they failed to capture at a huge cost of nearly 100,000 casualties is now captured with one shot and one bullet.
It feels somewhat unreal.
Many Japanese soldiers even doubted whether Jiang Li had any tricks.
After all, the Japanese army had suffered losses not once or twice.
"Let the following continue to advance and occupy all the streets in Fengtian City."
Ueno Kamio made the same choice as other division commanders and brigade commanders.
Although the Chinese army's artillery bombardment was terrifying, even the Japanese artillery could not imagine how accurate it was at night.
As for Jiang Li's access to hundreds of thousands of artillery shells from the Fengtian arsenal, the top Japanese military officials also knew that the current situation must have occurred because the Chinese Army was withdrawing westward.
Some of the artillery shells were too late to take away, and it would be a pity to throw them away.
Take advantage of it.
In fact, there are indeed some factors speculated by the Japanese army.
But that was only part of it.
The reason why Jiang Li chose to retreat in these two days was because the howling north wind had weakened a lot
