The wind has calmed down and the weather is less oppressive.
It’s convenient to run around.
Of course, there’s another more important reason.
In order to capture Fengtian City, the Japanese army used poison gas bombs, causing six to seven thousand casualties to the Fengtian defenders.
So many people were killed in one day.
With Jiang Li's temperament of revenge, how could he swallow this?
On the artillery position, the artillery groups roared one after another.
But at this time, boxes of other ammunition, gas bombs, and other ammunition were brought up.
"Use grenades and poison gas bombs alternately.
Try not to let the Japanese army notice it."
Xiao Weiguo chuckled.
He liked Jiang Li's temperament.
He must avenge himself.
The words written by some people in the propaganda newspapers about repaying grievances with kindness are bullshit, and those who died are not.
His people, the anti-Japanese army are more ruthless than the Japanese, tooth for tooth, blood for blood Boo hoo hoo A large number of artillery shells hit Fengtian City as before.
Amid the violent explosions, some shells fell to the ground and made no sound, only releasing some gas.
The dark night, the large number of exploding shells, and the Japanese army's eagerness to occupy Fengtian City gave these gas bombs the best cover.
Zhang Zuolin did not buy as many gas bombs as Jiang Li had boasted, only less than 3,000 rounds.
With the speed of these artillery guns reaching more than ten rounds per minute, even if they fire gas bombs intermittently, it only takes ten minutes.
As shells fell one after another in the dilapidated city of Fengtian, more and more poisonous gas was released.
"What's the smell?"
Nishi Yiichi, the commander of the 10th Division who personally led the team into the city, Kamio Ueno, the commander of the 39th Mixed Brigade, and others all smelled this smell.
"Baga, it's poison gas.
The Chinese used poison gas bombs.
Quick.
Quick.
Drop everyone.
Immediately notify the commander of your retreat and equip the gas masks.
Stop sending additional troops to Fengtian City."
Ueno Kamefu was the first to react. , a face that looked particularly ferocious in the firelight.
"Hai" because the Japanese army advanced too fast and it was at night, it was extremely troublesome to deliver information at this time, so it could only be notified manually.
Fortunately, Ueno Kamebu's brigade headquarters had most of the items in reserve.
He found a few gas masks and Ueno Kameha put them on and sighed heavily.
I just held it in for too long.
Most of the senior officers' brigade headquarters and wing headquarters have a certain amount of entourage, and everything is complete.
The soldiers below even lack cold-proof equipment.
Who wants to be shivering in this damn weather without even wearing enough clothes?
Wear a gas mask and wander around all day long Although many gas masks had been prepared as early as Muto Nobuyoshi's period, the situation was similar to that of the Fengtian garrison.
It was a complete drag to fight for one's life with this thing.
But in the current situation, the lack of gas bombs was a fatal flaw.
"This is a great shot.
Pack up your mats and let's go."
Xiao Weiguo laughed.
Some artillery shells were left behind, and there were horses occupying the mountain.
The tens of thousands of horses supported by Li Du and others were enough to pull away a considerable amount of things.

At this time, the main force of Jiang Li's 7th Brigade, Zhao Yi, Zhang Zhibang, and Feng Zhanhai, totaling nearly 50,000 people, retreated westward.
In front of me is a sea of torches, dancing on the vast snowfield.
"Brothers, look behind you.
Fengtian City, covered in darkness, has been destroyed by war.
This was once our home.
We fought with the Japanese army here for more than a hundred days and nights, blocking hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops from advancing. , here, we played something Huo Huoshengwei of the Northern Han Dynasty, we are leaving now.
We are not retreating in defeat, nor are we afraid of fighting.
Our retreat today is to prepare a better and more powerful counterattack in the future.
One day, I will lead you back.
On this ruins, Fengtian will be rebuilt and China will be reshaped."
Jiang Li roared loudly on the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped away on the road composed of the row of torches.
"One day we will fight back, rebuild Fengtian, and reshape China."
The eyes of Feng Zhanhai and others were full of determination.
Although the commander in their eyes was waving his whip to the west, although he was young, his image was already like a towering mountain, which made people look up.
I can't help but follow these passionate words with life and death.
The long fire dragon walks through the snow, to the west, hope is to the west.
What is left behind is the ruins of the place, the poisonous gas, the cold darkness, and the screams of Fengtian City.
Let those damn Japanese soldiers bear these troubles.
The wailing continued until dawn.
Those wounded soldiers who were still poisoned but lost the ability to continue fighting, so that the Japanese army had to spend more energy to take care of them, became Matsui Iwane's burden.
Being fooled again, Matsui Iwane hated Jiang Li like never before, but he was always helpless against Jiang Li.
When the Japanese army was overcoming the winter and the lack of railways, the situation had begun to return to the control of the Japanese army. among.
These Chinese troops can be eaten bit by bit.
Although the Fengtian arsenal is quite full of ammunition, there will always be a day when the fight is over.
But who would have thought that after Jiang Li took advantage of it, he would retreat directly.
Even if he retreated, he would even Give him a hard slap on the face.
Although the shelling of the Chinese Army caused certain casualties to the Japanese army, it was not the most serious.
What really made Matsui Iwane twitch in pain was that the poisonous gas directly caused the death of 6,167 people, and 7,631 people were poisoned with different shades of poison. .
Those with battle injuries and frostbite were lying in the hospital camp in need of care.
At this time, there were only a few intact houses in Fengtian City, and there was no room for many people.
The marching tents were filled with people, and it was still far from enough.
There were even Some people had to go outdoors in this weather.
The number of soldiers who died due to poisoning will continue to rise.
Since September 18, in just a few months, the number of soldiers killed directly by the Japanese army has almost caught up with the Russo-Japanese War.
This result is really ironic. .
"What suggestions does Okamura-kun have for the ensuing endgame?"
Matsui Iwane asked, looking at Neji Okamura who looked equally unhappy.
"Because of this war, the empire's urgently needed coal and food have been interrupted, and the supply of steel has also been greatly affected.
The top priority is to restore the supply of resources to the empire from Northeast China, so as to support the war with war."
Okamura Nejifuka He took a breath and was teased by Jiang Li several times while being applauded.
This feeling was not pleasant, but this was his own fault.
If the Japanese army had not been the first to use poison gas bombs, the possibility of the Chinese being the first to use poison gas bombs was extremely slim.
"In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to further increase the number of troops in Northeast China.
Stabilize the two lines from Dandong and Port Arthur to Fengtian.
In addition, Nanman Co., Ltd. will immediately organize the reconstruction of mining areas and railways, and send another large army northward."

"The empire's losses this time are too serious.
With the logistics facing more stringent conditions, if we send troops north again, I'm afraid we will face even greater problems."
Matsui Iwane said with a frown.
Even in the Fengtian War, the poor logistics caused great headaches for these commanders, not to mention the reconstruction work that also required dispatching troops to protect, and the division of troops to encircle and suppress the Chinese guerrillas in Fengtian, and the expense of sending a large army north, Matsui Iwane thought.
It makes my body hurt just thinking about it.
"Your Excellency, Commander, consumption is a headache for the base camp.
Now we only need to consider how to completely digest Northeast China in the shortest possible time.
If we do not send troops north as soon as possible, it shows the empire's resolute attitude towards the entire Northeast.
Those who originally failed will The Chinese troops who are fighting against the empire will change their stance as a result, and even Soviet forces may penetrate further into the northeast."
A dangerous light flashed on the face of "Soviet Union" Matsui Iwane.
If the Soviet Union intervened in the situation in Northeast China and had the convenience of the Middle East route, it would be really difficult.
Considering the attitude of the Soviet Union, it was indeed worth considering to bite the bullet and head north. s: In the original outline design, 918 was supposed to be completed in a few dozen chapters.
Unexpectedly, it reached 152 chapters and wrote more than 300,000 words.
What a surprise
