    The focus of the Northeastern Battle - the Battle of Liaoyang, lasted for 17 days from November 5th to 22nd.  The battle situation at this time is like a sky covered with snowflakes and clouds overhead. Both sides have lost their elites and are seriously injured. They are unable to fight anymore. The more than 200,000 troops on both sides are trapped in this situation and they are already unable to break out of this trap.  Quanquan felt exhausted. In the next few days, the main forces of both sides were unable to fight anymore. However, the areas controlled by both sides were already in a crisscross situation. As a result, small-scale battles below the regiment level of both sides were going on all the time every day.  .

    Prolonging the war is not good for Zhang Xueliang, but it is even more bad for Muto Nobuyoshi. If the Japanese army without reinforcements loses this war, then the face of the Japanese Army, the face of the Empire of Japan, the face of the Emperor, and the reputation and lives of himself and his subordinates will all be destroyed.  All lost.  At this time, Zhang Xueliang and Muto Nobuyoshi, who had already staked their lives and fortunes on this war, were like two giants staring into each other's eyes, comparing their patience, waiting for the other to blink.  At that moment he raised his fist.

    At this time, Muto Nobuyoshi even began to place his hopes on the 3rd Division and 7th Division, which he had identified as auxiliary forces from the beginning.

    Compared with the difficult situation of the Japanese army on the middle route, the beginning of the war for the Japanese 3rd Division on the west route was smooth. Lieutenant General Zentaro Wakayama sent "good news" to Muto Nobuyoshi frequently - they captured Gaizhou on November 4;  Yingkou was captured on the 5th, and Dawa was captured on the 6th.  Almost one city was captured in one day. Just when Muto Nobuyoshi had become accustomed to receiving a victory report from Lieutenant General Wakayama every day as part of his life, the tradition of the 3rd Division as a good news division came to an abrupt end, and finally on the morning of the 8th  , received a telegram from Lieutenant General Ruoshan that was obviously whitewashed at a glance. It said that the troops were blocked by the enemy's Northeast Army Wang Shuchang's unit "more powerfully", and the situation was "slightly unfavorable" for the time being, but it would definitely be over in a few days.  Defeat the enemies in front of them and seize the three cities of Huludao, Jinzhou and Panjin.  General Muto, who was immune to the Japanese tradition of "good news of a funeral", had to admit that the 3rd Division must have been blocked by Wang Shuchang of the Northeast Army, and the battle was still relatively difficult.

    ¡°If Muto Nobuyoshi visited the Panjin front line in person, he would find that his above statement was still too optimistic.

    Lieutenant General Zentaro Wakayama's opponents - the Northeastern Army Wang Shuchang's 110th Infantry Division (Deputy Division Commander Zhu Hongxun) and Dong Yingbin's 111th Division (Deputy Division Commander Liu Guiwu) are not good opponents, and they firmly contain the key areas of Jinzhou and Huludao City  A firm confrontation with the 3rd Division occupying Panjin.  Compared with the situation of General Muto Nobuyoshi, Lieutenant General Wakayama Zentaro's life was also not easy. He only had one division in his hands but had to eat up two reorganized divisions of the Northeast Army. It was really difficult.

    This area of ??Jinzhou is frequently adjacent to the sea of ??Liaodong Bay, and rivers of all sizes are densely covered in a network. The "unique" geographical conditions allowed the 3rd Division to gain the advantage of the Japanese Navy in the battle with the 110th and 111th Divisions of the Northeast Army.  strong support.  The 3rd Division, which attacked westward, was quite cunning. The route was basically along the seaside and within the range of Japanese naval guns.  The commander of the Wakayama Division not only had aircraft, heavy artillery and tanks, he even enjoyed the assistance of a Japanese fleet on Liaodong Bay, a "high-level treatment" that the other two Japanese armies did not enjoy.  In addition to the four "Hokaze" class destroyers, the Japanese fleet floating on the Bohai Sea also has three behemoths-the 9,500-ton Japanese light aircraft carrier "Hosho" and two "Nagato" class battleships.  The 16 409mm main guns on the 43,580-ton "Nagato" and "Mutsu" heavy battleships were a nightmare for the officers and soldiers of the 110th and 111th Divisions of the Northeastern Army who were fighting the Japanese army.  When competing with the Japanese army for coastal towns such as Lushu Village, the Japanese battleships fired down one after another, and the Northeast Army's camps were wiped out. Moreover, the Type 13 carrier-based attack aircraft carried by the "Hongxiang", Japan's first naval aircraft carrier,  They also took advantage of the fire and frequently roared and dropped bombs on the Northeast Army. Naturally, this price was not something Wang Shuchang could bear.  The 3rd Division pressed forward step by step without fear. Within a few days, a series of coastal areas such as Batun, Qiaonv Village, Xingjiatun, and Nanma Village fell into the hands of the Japanese army.  The 6th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division, which had tasted the sweetness of "invincible in conquering cities and territories", actually got carried away and went north along the river to attack the towns of Zhutuo and Xipeng, the entrance to Jinzhou, and was immediately met by the 518th Regiment of the 110th Division, which had retreated from the north.  Thrash.  Xipeng is an important commanding height south of Jinzhou. If it falls, the large open area in the north will be exposed to the firepower of the 3rd Division.  The officers and soldiers of the 518th Regiment formed a continuous firepower network with light and heavy machine guns from a high position. The 6th Infantry Regiment was pinned halfway during several attacks. For the first time, the arrogant Japanese army tasted the feeling of being beaten without the cover of naval guns.  However, the captain of the regiment, Colonel Chiba, who couldn't help but ordered the withdrawal of the troops, ordered heavy artillery to bombard Xipeng. The artillery fire came overwhelmingly, and the officers and soldiers of the 518th Regiment were beaten so hard that they could not lift their heads.  Taking advantage of the cover of smoke, a squadron of the 6th Regiment invaded Xipeng Town. After hearing the news, Wang Shuchang personally led the guard squad to supervise the battle. The 5th Jinzhou Northeast ArmyThe withered face became even more pale and withered from the cold.  The sound of artillery outside was loud, and the piercing whistling of planes in the sky was heard in turn. From time to time, huge explosions shook the roof slightly, causing a little dust to fall. In the next room, there was a continuous "tick-tock" sound of telegrams coming from various departments.  Amidst the mixed noise, Muto Nobuyoshi was kneeling quietly on the mat like an outsider, with a sharp samurai sword beside him. Before the war, Muto Nobuyoshi had already joined the division commanders and brigade commanders.  The officers of the regiment commander, regiment commander, and group commander announced that if this "final attack" still failed to capture Liaoyang, Lieutenant General Ninomiya Harushige would take over the command of the entire army and lead the army back to Lushun, while he would "be ashamed to return to Tokyo."  "To the souls of the Emperor and all the loyal soldiers," he performed a disembowelment to apologize.  Therefore, few people spoke in the command room, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly dull.

    At this time, the Japanese army used the elite main regiments of each division as the vanguard to storm the Northeastern Army's positions. Major General Kanda's suggestion of "concentrating superior forces to gradually encroach on the Northeastern Army's positions" became the Japanese army's attack method. The Japanese army concentrated on the 6 artillery regiments of the entire army.  Hundreds of artillery pieces from the team violently bombarded the north bank of Liaoyang. The explosion caused the whole city to be in ruins and two-thirds of the buildings collapsed.  At the same time, the Sasaki Aviation Squadron, together with hundreds of bombers from several squadrons of the First Army Aviation Division, carried out "carpet" bombing on the Northeastern Army's positions. The Japanese fleet dropped an average of more than 500 aerial bombs per hour on the Northeastern Army, almost consuming Qingyan.  80% of the ammunition of the Japanese aviation force was stored, and at the same time, more than 40 remaining Japanese tanks were also rumbled out. During this day's offensive, Muto Nobuyoshi used all the means at his disposal.  If it weren't for the strong north wind blowing at this time, Muto would have really wanted to throw all the remaining gas bombs at the heads of the Northeastern Army.

    This massive offensive launched by the Japanese army on a front line of nearly five kilometers in Liaoyang really made the Northeastern Army defenders unable to withstand it. The numerically superior Japanese army faced the Northeastern Army's solid firepower bunkers or fortification trenches.  They directly let the "meat bombs" wrapped with explosives pounce on them, and the Japanese death squads who had their heads wrapped with white cloths around the sun flag and chanted "Long Live!" Although a large number of Japanese death squads were shot by the Northeast Army's firepower as they rushed to die together, there were still groups of Japanese suicide squads who directly self-destructed.  The "meat bombs" successfully pounced into the crowd of Northeastern Army defenders.  Regarding the mine obstacles laid by the Northeast Army on the main transportation roads, the Japanese army actually dispatched a large number of unarmed wounded soldiers to use their flesh and blood to roll around the minefield and detonate the mines to open the way for the follow-up troops.  Under this inhumane Japanese offensive that disregarded the life and death of their own people, the Northeastern Army's strongholds on the south bank were breached one by one. Soon the surging Japanese divisions rushed towards the north bank on the ice and corpses facing the Northeastern Army's hail of bullets.

    Seeing the blood of the Japanese soldiers splashing on the ice of the river at more than 20 degrees below zero, the Japanese soldiers behind continued to charge on the corpses without fear of death. Yu Xuezhong, a veteran who joined the army at the age of 18 and had a full 25 years of military service, also  He couldn't help but change his color: "This river is still a battlefield, it is clearly a morgue! The corpses are floating in the water, the corpses are frozen in the ice, and the corpses rolling to the ground on the ice are still corpses!"

    "This river is clearly the collision of the souls of two nations!" Rong Zhen, who usually speaks in an easy-going and calm manner, also said something shocking.

    Zhang Xueliang suppressed the surprise and a little fear in his heart: "Muto Nobuyoshi is risking his life! Order the troops to persist until 5 o'clock in the evening and retreat according to the plan!"

    The Japanese army, which was "risking their lives", indeed launched a fierce offensive. Under the repeated impact of the human sea tactics, the Northeast Army's defense line on the north coast gradually fell. The fierce battle lasted until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The Northeast Army's departments, which had suffered serious losses, began to retreat while fighting.  But Zhang Xueliang received a report: Niu Yuanfeng, commander of the 106th Division, and a regiment were still holding on to the Yunhong Bridge, which had been abandoned by the military order.

    Zhang Xueliang quickly called Niu Yuanfeng's division headquarters: "Commander Niu! Execute the order! Evacuate immediately!"

    There was loud gunfire on the other end of the phone, mixed with the explosion of grenades close at hand. Niu Yuanfeng shouted: "Young Marshal! Don't say more! I have decided to fight to the end and attract more Japanese troops to buy more time for the entire army.  . In addition, I also want to clear up the infamy of my 106th Division retreating without a fight!"

    Lu Zhengcao, the deputy commander of the 106th Division next to Zhang Xueliang, rushed to grab the phone with tears in his eyes: "Sirder! Commander! The brothers in our division have been fighting bravely these days. No one will say that our 106th Division is a coward who retreats without a fight.  !¡±

    Niu Yuanfeng on the other end of the phone said loudly: "Lu Zhengcao! Listen, kid, the reinforcement battalion I asked you to take away is the seed of our 106th Division! You kid must rebuild the 106th Division properly! Stop talking nonsense, I will fight the Japanese."  Let¡¯s go!¡± After saying that, he hung up the phone.

    Zhang Xueliang looked at the fierce battle of Yunhong Bridge where smoke was rising, explosions and rumblings in the distance. He then looked at Lu Zhengcao who was holding the phone and crying bitterly. He sighed in his heart: Historically, Niu Yuanfeng was sent by Zhang Xueliang after the fall of Northeast China in the "September 18th Incident".  The Red Army encircled and suppressed the Red Army and died in vain; while Lu Zhengcao abandoned the dark side and went to Yan'an after the "September 18th Incident". Later, he accumulated merits and finally became a general of the People's Republic of China.  Alas, now their fate has changed like this because of themselves. It is really unpredictable.  In fact, some people are also heroes, but history has not given them a chance to prove themselves.

    (Note: General Lu Zhengcao passed away on October 15, 2009. I wish the old general a good life!)

    As the gunfire of Niu Yuanfeng's last resistance at Yunhong Bridge disappeared, the remaining main forces of the Northeast Army have all retreated to the north of Liaoyang. Except for a few troops who are still adhering to the Japanese army, more than 90% of the area in Liaoyang has been occupied by the Japanese army.  occupied.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)In fact, some people are also heroes, but history has not given them a chance to prove themselves.
