Blitzkrieg is a "fast" word. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, from the moment Zhang Chi's troops set foot on the land of the Northeast, they were destined to attack the city and seize the land non-stop, not to mention the ...... They also had to quickly take Shenyang so that the follow-up troops would have more time to mobilize the people and organize defenses in Shenyang.

"Master!" Staff Officer Liang handed Zhang Chi a cup of coffee and said, "You can also go and rest for a while, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a few days!" ”

When Staff Officer Liang said this, Zhang Chi realized that it was true, from the moment the fleet sailed out of Iwo Jima, Zhang Chi had hardly touched the bed, not that he couldn't sleep, but there were too many things and too many details to consider...... Blitzkrieg is a tactic that sounds like it's just a matter of driving tanks and armored vehicles all the way forward. But in fact, when it is really used on the battlefield, it is found that it is extremely dangerous: logistics, transportation, intelligence, etc., as long as one link is not considered clearly, it may lead to a complete loss.

"Staff Officer!" Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and raised his head towards the map while taking the coffee, and said, "The siege is imminent, where can I sleep!" ”

"Is the master worried that he won't be able to take Shenyang?" Staff Officer Liang asked.

Zhang Chi shook his head: "The Japanese army is like a lost dog, and it is not a big problem to take Shenyang!" ”

"Shizuo is worried about the Allied prisoners of the North Battalion?" Staff Officer Liang asked again.

When Halsey learned that Allied prisoners of war were being held in Beida Camp, he sent a telegram saying that he hoped that the Chinese troops would be able to rescue these prisoners of war, who numbered more than 2,000 people.

Zhang Chi shook his head again: "The defense of the Beida camp is weak, the city wall is in disrepair, and it is only a matter of a moment to conquer it. ”

What Zhang Chi didn't say was ...... The life and death of the Allied prisoners actually had little to do with the Chinese troops, and how many of them could survive to the end depended on their own creation.

"Then why is that?" Staff Officer Liang asked.

"There is ...... between the inner city and the outer city," Zhang Chi replied: "There are still more than 200,000 people there!" ”

Staff Officer Liang couldn't help but let out an "oh": "The division is worried...... Will the devils use them as shields? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded heavily: "Although, a considerable part of these more than 200,000 people are traitors, landlords and even Japanese pioneer groups, but at least more than 100,000 are poor families......

Of course, this information was also provided by the scouts, just like the people of Shenyang said: Shenyang is divided into rich and poor areas. The so-called rich area is the main city of Shenyang, where the Japanese pioneer group, traitors, landlords and other places spend all day drinking, and the slum area is outside the main city, especially from the small west gate, the big west gate to the railway station, where ninety percent of the people who live are laborers, and one percent are puppet soldiers who take care of laborers.

If the main city is full of traitors, landlords, and Japanese immigrants, it will be easy to do, and it will be solved with one cannon...... The problem is that these traitors, landlords and Japanese still have to wait for the Chinese, so even in the rich and noble areas there is a large proportion of poor people.

What's worse is that the Japanese are not good men and women, in the past battlefields, they have done many things to use the people as shields, and this time Zhang Chi believes that they will not be an exception.

Staff Officer Liang could only sigh and said helplessly: "There will always be deaths in war!" ”

Yes, people will always die in war, and Zhang Chi has not seen the dead on the battlefield more than once.

But Zhang Chi wasn't sure if he could afford to watch the unarmed civilians being driven to the battlefield by the Japanese army.

Two hours passed quickly.

Perhaps the Japanese thought that the Chinese army would choose to attack after dawn...... In fact, Yamashita Wenyuan also thinks so, after all, fighting siege warfare and street fighting in the dark has never been what the Chinese army is good at.

However, when Yamashita saw a few red flares rising in the sky, he knew that he had miscalculated again.

The sound of artillery soon rang out, and it was the divisional artillery regiment and regimental artillery battalion of the Chinese troops...... In fact, at this time, the artillery of the new 1st Division has far exceeded the firepower of the establishment, the reason is that in order to carry out the task of blitzkrieg, the US army has equipped the new 1st Division with a large number of half-track vehicles, and the half-track vehicles are often equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, small-caliber howitzers and other things, and the firepower is twice as strong as before.

At this time, more than 200 artillery pieces blasted towards the city garrisoned by the Japanese army, and flames burst out in the Japanese city like a goddess scattering flowers.

Of course, these artillery bombardments were mainly in Dongdaying and Beidaying...... The vast majority of these two places were Japanese troops, and the soldiers were more relieved to blow up.

As for the main city, it was mostly prepared for an attack, such as blowing up barbed wire fences and barricades set up by the Japanese army under the light of flares, or blasting into possible minefields, while cannons and mountain artillery bombarded the city walls...... The target of the cannon and mountain artillery is mainly the inner city wall, and the outer city is actually an earthen wall several meters thick, which is mainly used to separate the rich and noble areas of the main city from the poor areas, and is simply vulnerable to artillery fire and tank attacks.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that in fact, even the inner city or even the central city wall was nothing.

The reason was that due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army entered a period of extreme shortage of supplies, especially copper and iron, which were used to make guns and bullets. Therefore, since 42 years, the Japanese army has comprehensively collected copper and iron in the puppet Manchurian State, which is known as the "Copper Donation Campaign", which has been launched three times...... The copper and iron of the puppet Manchurian State were almost scavenged, which is also the reason why Shanxia Wenyuan has been reluctant to blow up several bridges in Shenyang.

As a result of the "Copper and Iron Donation Campaign", even the bolts and door poles of the gates of the inner city and the central city were removed...... These things have been demolished, and the city gate is naturally gone, so the city gate is empty, and only a few puppet soldiers or Japanese soldiers use a crossbar to control the entry and exit of the people.

At that time, the Japanese army only thought: Why do you want the city gate? Anyway, no enemy will hit Shenyang...... If it hits Shenyang, then Japan is almost finished! So I didn't take it seriously at all.

The severity of the problem is only now being discovered...... I'm going to go, what's the use of having thick walls? The gates were open as if to welcome the enemy's attack.

At this time, I want to go to the city gate...... I didn't know when it was chopped and burned as waste wood, so I had no choice but to plug it with sandbags and stones.

But how could these things withstand the bombardment of artillery, and they were easily blown up by the Chinese army in a few hits during the battle.

Of course, the Chinese army did not aim its main artillery fire at the main city, mainly because it knew that there were still many civilians inside. (To be continued.) )
