Zhou Xingguo, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps, and Zhang Zizhong, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Corps, quickly flashed a sharp edge in their eyes. After looking at each other, they saw the expectation and excitement of the next battle from each other's faces.

Commander-in-chief Zhou Xingguo, staring at the communications staff in front of him, continued to ask with an anxious look: "Did the commander-in-chief say: When will the incendiary bombs to reinforce us reach the front line..."

"A total of 6,000 various incendiary bombs have been boarded at Qingdao Military Port. It is estimated that within one day, it can be sent to the forefront of the battlefield..." The communications consultant responded.

Zhou Xingguo's face was suddenly shrouded in excitement and expectation. His fists, which had been clenched tightly, slowly stretched out. He shouted at Zhang Zizhong beside him: "Okay, it's only one day... Since that's the case, let the Japanese in Xinyizhou City live for another day..."

After saying that, he continued to order a combat staff officer: "However, even if the Japanese in the city live one more day, the only one day left will not let the Japanese be so free. He ordered the artillery troops to launch artillery fire in the city of Shinyizhou on battalions, so that they could not survive even if they died..."

Amid the continuous explosion of artillery shells, tens of thousands of Kwantung troops and the people in the city spent a very difficult day in fear and fear. As for the Liaodong Corps outside the city, they were angry at the Japanese in the city and waiting for the arrival of replenishing ammunition.

Under the quiet night, several transport ships sailing on the sea after more than 20 hours were on the sea, under the order of Zhou Xingguo, and went upstream along the mouth of the Yalu River and appeared directly on the surface of the Yalu River where the Liaodong Corps crossed the river.

The soldiers of the Liaodong Corps successfully crossed more than 20 transport boats of all sizes and sizes, like swords left the east bank of the Yalu River, and moved closer to several transport ships anchored in the center of the Yalu River.

Immediately, boxes of ammunition boxes filled with various incendiary bombs were lifted from the deck of the transport ship to a small landing craft docked around the transport ship...

More than 20 landing crafts of all sizes were busy all night on the Yalu River, which was no more than 500 meters wide. Just before dawn in the morning, all 6,000 incendiary bombs were transported to the east bank of the Yalu River, which is the major artillery positions in the frontier of the Liaodong Corps.

The Major Staff of the Logistics Department, who was responsible for counting the number of ammunitions, appeared early in the morning at the command office of Zhou Xingguo. Under Zhou Xingguo's expectant eyes, he began to report: "Reporting to the head office, the headquarters sent a total of 1,200 105mm caliber incendiary bombs and 3,600 75mm caliber incendiary bombs. 1,200 small aviation-specific incendiary bombs, a total of 6,000 various incendiary bombs, with a total weight of more than 120 tons..."

"At present, these ammunition has been allocated to various positions with the cooperation of infantry and can be used at any time..."

"Very good..." Zhou Xingguo finally showed a rare smile on his face. He responded very satisfiedly to the logistics consultant in front and back.

After looking at Zhang Zizhong, who was also excited beside him, he spoke, "Teacher Zhang, look, when will we launch an attack on Xinyiju: burning Xinyiju and turning all the Japanese in Xinyiju into roasted suckling pigs. Revenge the soldiers who died in the poisonous gas bomb..."

After thinking about it carefully, a strange smile quickly appeared on Zhang Zizhong's face. He suggested to Zhou Xingguo beside him: "Brother Zhou, look, according to the Japanese military's daily routine, you will have breakfast in two hours. Should we use the ammunition that the Commander-in-Chief just sent us? Prepare a feast of artillery fire for the Kwantung Army in the city to save them from a breakfast..."

"Breakfast time..." Zhou Xingguo's face was suddenly covered by a strange smile, and he spoke in agreement.

"Teacher Zhang. The breakfast time is good, and the Japanese all gathered in the open air. Let them taste the taste of being burned. Let them see if they dare to use the poisonous gas bombs that have been explicitly prohibited in the international community..."

After saying that, a trace of majesty slowly emanated from Zhou Xingguo. He ordered decisively and seriously to several combat staff members who were quickly approaching: "Immediately issue orders to the artillery and the Air Force. Two hours later, that is, at 7:30 in the morning, launch an artillery and air strike on Shinyiju on time..."

"Order three regiments under the 81st Division to quickly rush to the three gates in the southeast, south and north of Xinyizhou, block the gates tightly, and prohibit a Japanese from escaping from the city. Today I want to burn all the thousands of Kanto troops in Xinyizhou to death in the city, so that they will be in pain and pay the price of bleeding for their actions..."

Yesterday, the Liaodong Corps outside the city did not launch any substantial attack on Xinyizhou. On the surface, the Ninth Army seemed to be really scared by its abnormal poisonous gas war and only dared to attack itself from a long distance through artillery.

However, as an excellent commander and a senior officer of the Kwantung Army who has some research on the Ninth Army, Major General Kurokawa felt something was wrong in his heart. He always felt that the Ninth Army outside the city, after suffering such huge losses, seemed to be brewing a larger conspiracy against him.

With this ups and downs, Major General Kurokawa finally survived a difficult night.

It was dawn, and Major General Kurokawa had just sat up from the bed, and asked subconsciously with an anxious look on his face: "Adjustrator, the ** team outside the city, have there any abnormal movements in the whole night..."

"Report to the commander, the brigade command has not received any news about the transfer of the ** team outside the city. So, please rest assured by the commander of the brigade..." the adjutant replied.

Major General Kurokawa, who looked nervous, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself: "Yo Xi, am I really worried? The ** team outside the city was really scared because of the poison gas attack the day before yesterday..."

However, in less than five seconds, Major General Kurokawa had already denied this idea from the bottom of his heart. According to the tough attitude the Ninth Army has always shown in front of the Japanese army, the Ninth Army, which suffered such heavy losses, would never give up. Otherwise, he would not have won the Ninth Army that has repeatedly won the Japanese Empire.

Thinking of this, regardless of the surprised expression flashing quickly on the adjutant's face in front of him, he ordered very decisively: "Adjust, immediately issue an order to all defenders on the city wall defense line: all combat troops must strengthen their vigilance and closely monitor the every move of the Ninth Army outside the city. If there is any situation, report to me immediately, otherwise, military law is engaged in..."

"Yes, sir..." Facing the brigade commander with a majestic look on his face, the adjutant did not dare to be negligent at all, and quickly answered. Under the eyes of Major General Kurokawa, he quickly walked out of the command center not far away.

However, just as the adjutant's front foot was about to step out of Major General Kurokawa's bedroom and rushed towards the command center not far away.

"Ah..." A scream of surprise sounded unexpectedly from the door. Immediately afterwards, the commander of the brigade Major General Kurokawa saw his adjutant and collided with a hurried chief of the command center.

As a senior officer of the Kwantung Army, he subconsciously wanted to get angry when he saw his subordinates panicked. However, after seeing the fearful expression on the face of the Grand Secretary’s staff, a trace of bad premonition slowly came to his mind. His years of military career made him feel that the Grand Secretary’s staff came must be related to the Ninth Army, which was still not moving outside the city.

He quickly put on a coat, walked to the door with a serious expression, and then spoke frankly to the Grand Secretary General and asked, "Is there something wrong with the command center?"

"Hayi, wise, sir..." The officer with a terrified face quickly saluted and spoke.

"The reconnaissance unit, which was active outside the city, just sent an urgent call: The Chinese team has started to act..."

Major General Kurokawa frowned and immediately realized the importance of this matter. He looked at the adjutant who was also stunned in front of him and had not yet reacted from his shock. He ordered in a serious tone: "Let's go to the command center first. Then make a specific report... Adjutant, immediately notify the Chief of Staff and all the officers above the brigade, and quickly go to the command center for a meeting..."

Walking into the war room, Major General Kurokawa didn't care about his subordinates who kept greeting him along the way. He quickly asked to the Grand Secretary behind him: "Tell me about the specific situation, frontier troops. Have you figured out the specific operation goals of the China ** team..."

Seeing Major General Kurokawa who was facing the map, with a serious face, responded quickly: "Report to the brigade commander. According to the report of the frontier troops: About fifteen minutes ago, a total of three regiments of troops were quickly driven out of the Zhong** team's base. Then, one by one, we divided into three, and went to the three gates in the southeast, north and north of Xinyizhou..."

"According to the judgment of our General Staff, it is certain that the ** teams of these three regiments must be responsible for surrounding our Xinyizhou County, and intend to trap all our defenders in Xinyizhou City..."

Major General Kurokawa's mouth flashed with a disdainful sneer, and he said, "Haha, if the Zhong** team really plays this abacus, then the forces of his three regiments will be completely wasted. It must be clear that the mission of our brigade is to defend Shinyiju to the death. Even if the entire army dies in the battlefield, he will never make a decision to withdraw from Shinyiju..."

After saying that, after moving his eyes to the map again, he continued to ask: "Where is the main force of the Zhong** team? Have you started to take action..."

The young man nodded and responded: "There are... almost two regiments of troops slowly pressing towards our Shinyiju from the direction of the West Gate... In order to avoid the devastating blow from the Central ** team, all the guards deployed outside the city have retreated into the city. At the same time, the General Staff has ordered all combat troops to enter the combat state in advance..."

Major General Kurokawa nodded with satisfaction and praised: "This order from the Staff Office was issued very well..."

At this moment, the Chief of Staff, who had roughly understood the situation, was already standing next to Major General Kurokawa. He said with a serious expression to Major General Kurokawa: "Brig Commander, judging from the layout of the ** team outside the city, their appetite: they must be trying to eat us in one bite... If nothing unexpected happens, the attack we are facing today must be coming in a fierce and unprecedented way..."

Major General Kurokawa certainly knew the strong combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army on the front battlefield. However, as the highest commander of thousands of Kanto Army, Major General Kurokawa could only show it in his heart even if he was worried. After sighing, he said firmly: "Chief of Staff, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be difficult for me to be the brave Japanese emperor. I believe that the final victory must belong to my Japanese Empire and my Kanto Army..."

"Order all defenders on the city wall to defend their positions to the death... and order the reserve team in the city to train the North Korean reserve team that had just been indicative. It is necessary to ensure that after the battle begins, these North Koreans can shoot, throw grenades, and inflict a large number of active forces of the ** team in street fighting."

As time went by, he successfully detoured to the three infantry regiments of each city gate of Shinyizhou. He immediately followed the order to build a line of defense one kilometer outside the city gate to ensure that the Kwantung Army in the city did not escape one person.

The main force of the Liaodong Corps outside the west gate of Xinyizhou, with a total of two regiments, stopped after successfully pushing the front line one kilometer away from the city gate. When a light and heavy machine gun was quickly mounted on this suggested defense line, one kilometer outside Xinyizhou City, a copper wall was quickly formed, two hours later.

The artillery position of the Liaodong Corps, a large caliber howitzer regiment, two field artillery regiments, a total of 108 artillery pieces, had already pointed its black barrel directly into the sky. At the same time, a gunner stared at the biting cold wind, stood motionless next to the artillery position, waiting for the final bombardment order.

"Bang bang bang..." Three signal flares that suddenly took off were like a stone thrown into the calm water, directly awakening a quiet artillery position.

Three signal flares drew three beautiful arcs in the air, and after the explosion occurred, a commander's roar was heard with anticipation at the artillery position of the Liaodong Corps.

"First...fire..."

"Brothers from the Second Battalion, I will shoot me hard, fire and kill these little Japanese devils..."

"Boom..." Before all the roars stopped at the artillery position, deafening roars began to sound at the artillery position. At the same time, the thick white smoke produced by one cannon fired the shells quickly enveloped the small cannon position.

The cannon was shot out of the borehole. The several gunners who had been standing next to the cannon were as if they were instantly stimulant. They rushed towards the cannon that was still emitting heat...

Open the gun bolt and retreat... Suddenly, a yellow-orange shell shell with white smoke quickly retreated from the gun bore. With the help of tools, the shell shell weighing several kilograms was immediately transferred to the next side of the gun position. Then, with the joint assistance of the two gunners, a large-caliber incendiary bomb weighing more than 30 kilograms was immediately sent into the gun bore...

Close the gun bolt, check, pull the gun rope...

"Boom..." Another dull sound of artillery fire was heard. The shells that had just advanced into the barrel quickly flew out of the barrel under the push of gunpowder and flew towards Shinyiju, a few kilometers away.

In Shinyizhou, the first round of artillery fire was coming, although it was very sudden, the sharp whistling sound of hundreds of shells passing through the sky at the same time still awakened all the Japanese troops in Shinyizhou City.

Veterans with rich experience, without reminding their superiors, rushed to the hidden spots around which can be used to prevent artillery, lie down on the ground, and prepare for anti-aircraft artillery... New soldiers without much experience also lie down on the ground at the reminder of the officer...

Just as hundreds of Japanese devils were holding their heads and preparing to endure the baptism of artillery fire, an accident happened.

The shells that kept falling on the ground did not make a violent explosion like high-explosive bombs. Instead, there were sounds, just like the sudden violent "bang bang..." sound of a water bottle. Immediately afterwards, a wave of air that was more hot than the explosion of ordinary shells quickly swept towards me from the surroundings.

The Japanese army, who were so lucky that they were directly within the range of the incendiary bombs, had not yet reacted from the confusion. The burning sensation caused by the combustible substances and the impact of the fire behind them directly forced them to jump out of the ground and began to roll on the ground, trying to put out the fire behind them.

However, how could the Japanese devils, who were stained with a large amount of combustible substances produced by explosions of incendiary bombs, extinguish the fire on their bodies?

No matter how he rolled on the ground, howling on the ground, the raging fire burning on his back showed no sign of weakening. At the same time, a pungent smell of barbecue gradually came from behind. Of course, with the biting pain, it continued to attack the Japanese nerves, and the Japanese's limited energy began to be slowly consumed. In the end, because he had no strength, he had to stop these rolls without meaning, lying on the ground, and was directly engulfed by the fire that swept around him quickly.

"The incendiary bomb is a incendiary bomb shot by the Chinese... Baga, the despicable Chinese actually use incendiary bombs..." Some Japanese veterans who had experienced the Lushun Battle immediately understood the situation on the battlefield. They made their own screams and roars towards the sky.

However, no matter what, like rain, it kept falling by them, and quickly swept through the sea of ​​fire, and it still continued to land on their positions and in the city of Shin-Yiju.

Of course, compared with the Japanese positions, the situation in the city is even worse.

Because of most of the wooden buildings in Xinyizhou City, basically one fire bomb came down, and all buildings within a radius of dozens of meters were instantly covered by the sea of ​​fire... In a blink of an eye, the small county town of Xinyizhou was shrouded in small seas of fire.

At the same time, with the continuous help of subsequent incendiary bombs, these small-scale fire scenes spread rapidly and connected together to form larger-scale large-scale fire scenes...
