Chapter 486: Shenyang
The tank "rumbled" up, and when it turned, because it didn't grasp it well, the tank body hit the building next to it, and the building that was already fragile in the bombing "rattle" collapsed like a pile of bricks and buried the tank. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the tank moved forward on its own as if nothing happened, and soon drove out of the rubble, showing its huge body and huge gun barrel in front of the so-called sandbag defense line of the Japanese army in the middle of the street.
Seeing this tank, the Japanese couldn't help but be stunned...... You must know that most of them are recruited from the pioneer regiment, and a considerable number of them live in Manchuria and fight on the battlefield in China, when have they ever seen such a large tank, which is too exaggerated compared to the so-called medium tanks and heavy tanks in their hands!
But Japan was stunned and still shouted, "Attack!" ”
So machine guns, heavy machine guns, rifles...... All sorts of weapons scrambled to fire a dense barrage of bullets at the Sherman, which was even mixed with grenadiers and mortars.
But the bullets hit the "Sherman" tank as if it tickled it, and after a "clanging" sound, the bullets fell all over the ground. Grenadier canisters and mortars are also hardly a threat to them...... Of course, if a large-caliber mortar is aimed at the bottom of the tank, it is possible to damage the crew of the tank.
However, soon the Japanese army had no chance.
"Sherman" adjusted the muzzle of the gun slightly, and then with a "boom", the entire sandbag defense line was blasted into the sky with one shot.
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of machine gunfire, and from time to time there were soldiers hiding behind the tanks leaning out and holding their rifles and rushing forward, "bang, bang, bang" was a burst of triggers, and the rain of bullets quickly suppressed the Japanese firepower.
Several Japanese soldiers tried to run, but as soon as they jumped out of their hideout, they were hit by a dense field of bullets...... First a splash of blood splattered from them, then the limbs stretched outward, and then fell to the ground with a "flutter" like a sack full of garbage.
A Japanese captain shouted from his hideout: "Bastard! Don't run away, stop the enemy! ”
But no one listened to him, because everyone knew it was a fantasy...... At this moment, the notion that they had been instilled with "Japan will win" had completely collapsed, and all they could do was to huddle in the incomplete fortifications and tremble with fear.
The captain just wanted to say something to cheer up his subordinates again, but another shell came over, and with a "boom", the captain's whole person was lifted into the air and thrown down heavily. I don't know if this captain is lucky or unlucky, he is not dead yet, but on the ground, he only has a convulsion and black blood leaking out of his mouth.
This scene frightened the Japanese army even more, and I don't know who took the lead, and the surviving Japanese soldiers raised their hands and shouted in half-baked Chinese: "Surrender, we surrender!" ”
"Don't shoot!"
……
But perhaps because the "rumble" of the tanks was too loud, the Chinese army did not hear it, and the tanks were still moving and advancing...... Then they soon ran into these Japanese soldiers who were so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to escape.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who surrendered with their hands raised but were crushed into pulp by the tank, the expressions of the soldiers who followed the tank were very calm...... It was a terrible calm, as if what was happening in front of us was not worth mentioning, and the tanks were not people, not even living beings.
It's not that the soldiers are used to death and corpses on the battlefield, but that the soldiers know in their hearts that these Japanese soldiers are not worth treating them as creatures at all...... They don't know how many Chinese they brutally killed on Chinese soil, and their current fate is nothing more than karma.
Therefore, half an hour later, the battalion commander reported to Zhang China, and there were only two points:
One: Our troops have successfully occupied the port and organized a defensive line.
Two: The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is not as good as that of the enemy it has encountered in the past.
Both of these points are expected by Zhang Chi...... Historically, the Japanese troops fought by the Americans in the Pacific theater were often fought to the last man, or they all launched the "Jade Shatter Attack", but after the Soviet Union invaded Manchuria, it was able to make hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops surrender, which in itself speaks for itself.
Zhang Chi quickly gave an order: "The third regiment is stationed in place, and the first regiment and the second regiment continue to advance!" ”
"Yes!"
……
The three regiments remained stationed because Port Arthur was the starting point of the whole plan, and at the same time the starting point of the follow-up troops and supply landings, and this place must not be lost, otherwise the entire Chinese army would be encircled.
The 1st and 2nd regiments continued to advance because the most important "speed" in blitzkrieg was that only fast could be called "lightning", and when the enemy reacted and was ready, then the attack was likely to fall into a stalemate between the two sides.
Therefore, the basic mode of "blitzkrieg" is that the supply of the rear cannot be interrupted, the troops in the front cannot be stopped, and the front attacks all the way and the rear supply keeps up. Unless it's time to make sure that the supplies can't keep up, there's no way to stop and take a breath.
As a result, the second regiment, which was walking in the forefront, drove directly in the direction of Shenyang without stopping, and the first regiment followed closely behind.
And the Japanese troops on the Shenyang side also received the news of the attack on Port Arthur. (Note: The Japanese army called Shenyang Mukden.) In 28 years, Zhang Xueliang changed the banner to change Fengtian to Shenyang, and in 32 years, after Japan established the puppet Manchukuo, Shenyang was changed to Fengtian, so the two sides of the enemy and us were inconsistent in the name of the same place. hereinafter referred to as Shenyang)
In fact, when the Japanese army was attacked in Shenyang, the Chinese army had already captured Lushun and even the vanguard was marching towards Shenyang.
However, Lieutenant General Yamashimoto Yuanyuan, a Japanese soldier stationed in Shenyang, did not know this.
Shan Xia Wenyuan was even wondering how the enemy's troops could attack Lushun.
"Where did these enemies come from?" Shan Wenyuan looked at the map and couldn't figure it out.
"Nobody knows!" Staff Officer Harada replied: "However, the battle seems to be fierce, and we have lost contact with the troops of Lushun!" ”
"Hmm!" Yamashita nodded far away.
His idea was that it might be a bluff by the enemy guerrillas, as to why contact was broken...... Maybe it's just that the telephone lines were cut by the guerrillas.
However, Yamashita was far from worried that this might cause a large-scale uprising, after all, the current Manchurian army was very empty, and if it was not quickly extinguished, it was likely to rise in smoke.
So Shan Xia Yuanyuan ordered: "Send a wing of troops to reinforce immediately!" Move fast! ”
