The 203rd Wing was scattered under a single charge of the 2nd Regiment, and to make matters worse, the Japanese commander Ishida and his command did not have time to flee in a hurry...... As a veteran, a veteran of the Battle of Wuhan, Ishida had the habit of leading by example...... This can also be said to be a kind of show-off, because Ishida often talks about what kind of thrilling battles he has participated in as a veteran when he lectures. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

If it was on other battlefields, there would be no problem for Ishida to "take the lead", because the enemies of Manchukuo were basically guerrillas, and they could pull the wind when they walked in front of the team, and occasionally drew their command knives and waved them forward when they encountered a few enemies...... The problem was solved in three or two clicks.

But now Ishida Osa kicked the steel plate, to be precise, on the armor of the "Sherman" tank, and he didn't even snort when he was walking in front, and fell into the dense rain of bullets of the expeditionary force.

For the Japanese army's team, the death of the commander is nothing, because the Japanese army has a rule that if Dazuo dies, he will be commanded by Nakasa, and when Nakazo dies, he will be commanded by Shaoza.

But the problem was that Ishida's headquarters was right behind him, and along with the headquarters there were two other radio stations.

As a result, Yamashita not only did not know that the 203rd Wing had been routed by the Chinese troops, but also thought that the 203rd Wing was returning to Shenyang while breaking the road according to the order.

So Shanxia Wenyuan pulled the only remaining wing, the 205th Wing, to garrison along the Hunhe River.

Shanxia Wenyuan's decision is of course correct, and it can also be seen that Shanxia Wenyuan still has a certain degree of military literacy...... The enemy landed from the direction of Lushun, and the Hunhe River was south of the city of Shenyang, which meant that the enemy had to cross the Hunhe River if he wanted to attack Shenyang.

There are only two bridges on the Hunhe River, one is a railway bridge and the other is a road bridge...... To be exact, there are three bridges, and there are two railway bridges, which are the upper line and the middle line, and only the bridge piers were built on the lower line, because the Pacific War broke out and the Japanese army was short of steel, so the construction of the lower line was suspended.

(Note: There are upper and lower lines in the railway, mainly in the direction of train operation.) The highway bridge mentioned in the article refers to the old "Hunhe Bridge", and the "Shengli Bridge", "Gongnong Bridge" and the new "Hunhe Bridge" in modern Shenyang were all built after World War II. The location of the old "Hunhe Bridge" is next to the new "Hunhe Bridge", and now only the piers between holes 17 and 18 are left as memorials. ）

So obviously, if you want to hold Shenyang, you only need to hold the Hunhe River. Especially those three bridges...... If necessary, three bridges can also be blown up, which will also delay the enemy's advance.

However, Yamashita Wenyuan is still reluctant to blow up these three bridges, and his psychology is somewhat similar to that of Ishida Daisa...... These three bridges can be said to be the lifeblood of transportation from Shenyang to Lushun, and if they were blown up, it would almost mean that the transportation between the three northeastern provinces and the Japanese mainland would be interrupted. You must know that at this time, the Japanese army's steel was even so short that it was not enough to even complete the railway bridge off the line, so it was naturally not trivial to blow up the bridge.

For this reason, Yamashita Wenyuan also specifically asked Naosaburo Okabe.

Originally, Naosaburo Okabe's answer was: "What kind of bastard are you talking about, there are so many people in Japan waiting for us to deliver food, and factories are waiting for us to send steel, but you want to blow up the bridge?" Even if you sacrifice your life, you have to save these three bridges, understand? ”

"Yes!" Shan Xia Yuan answered.

But after the train on which the 123rd Division was seated was bombed, Naosaburo Okabe reluctantly called Yamashita Wenyuan: "Get ready to blow up the bridge!" But not as a last resort...... Don't blow up the bridge! ”

"Yes!"

Shan Xia Wenyuan was not happy at all when he heard this, because he knew that this meant that there were no other reinforcements in Shenyang, which meant that Shenyang was finished.

As a result, the three bridges were quickly loaded with explosives, and the 205th Wing followed with the construction of fortifications along the river, especially at the bridgehead.

Zhang Chi soon got the news.

Originally, an important military target such as a bridge should have sent troops to raid, occupy and hold it for a period of time in a blitzkrieg and wait for the arrival of the main force.

However, considering that the Japanese army was very well defended at the Hunhe Bridge, and that the Hunhe Bridge was on the edge of Shenyang, it was too difficult for the Chinese army to occupy the Hunhe Bridge...... The difficulty comes from not only capturing these bridges but also defending them, not only defending these bridges, but also ensuring that these bridges are not blown up by the Japanese. And this is an almost impossible task when the Japanese army originally had a division stationed in Shenyang and also had artillery.

Therefore, Zhang Chi has no other way.

Just when Shanxia Wenyuan was commanding the troops to deploy along the coast, a communication soldier suddenly panicked and handed a telegram to Shanxia Yuan: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, Fushun has been attacked by the enemy......

"What?" Hearing this, the mountain was far from being taken aback.

Fushun is 45 kilometers east of Shenyang, because it is rich in coal mines, so it is called the coal capital, and because it is the coal capital, Fushun also has a highway bridge called "Yongan Bridge...... This bridge was built in 1913 by the governor of Fushun raised funds, in order to be able to transport coal from Fushun more conveniently, so the Japanese army transported the old iron bridge left by the Russians to transform the bridge body to make it stronger, so there is the current "Yongan Bridge".

After being stunned for a while, Shan Xia Wenyuan frowned and asked, "What about our troops stationed in Fushun?" What are they doing? Ordered them to blow up the bridge right away......"

The Japanese army had a squadron of more than 200 people in Fushun, plus two battalions of puppet troops, with a total strength of about 1,000 people.

It may be very difficult for more than 1,000 people to defend the "Yongan Bridge," but the problem of blowing up the "Yongan Bridge" is not very big.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" The correspondent replied helplessly: "The enemy has already attacked Fushun and blown up the 'Yong'an Bridge'...... I'm afraid it's too late! ”

If the enemy crosses the Hunhe River from Fushun, then it will be completely meaningless to deploy defenses along the Hunhe River, because the enemy can attack Shenyang from the right rear.

After thinking about it, Shan Xia Wenyuan ordered: "Quick, immediately send troops to reinforce Fushun, and be sure to blow up the 'Yong'an Bridge'!" ”

However, before Yamashita Wenyuan's words fell, he saw another signal soldier running in and reported: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, Fushun is lost!" ”

Shan Xia Yuan couldn't help but turn pale, and after a long while, he sighed and said, "Order the troops, withdraw to the city!" ”

Toyokawa asked next to him: "Do you need to blow up the Hunhe Bridge and the railway bridge?" ”

Shan Wenyuan shook his head: "Keep it!" Blowing them up won't do anything anymore! ”
