Chapter 512: The Inner City
The puppet army in Shenyang quickly collapsed under the offensive of the Chinese army's "laying out facts" (referring to artillery bombardment) and "reasoning" (referring to propaganda offensives). Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, this is also due to the Japanese army......
At first, Shenyang City was just a small riot plus a few sporadic gunshots...... Normal people know that reassuring means should be employed.
This is like the puppet army standing in the middle, with the Chinese army on one side and the Japanese army on the other.
However, the Japanese have always been pretending to be powerful to the Chinese people and the puppet army, or it can also be said that the Japanese have a tendon in their heads and will not change, so they still habitually raise their rifles and bayonets to those puppet soldiers who have different intentions, and shout in their mouths: "Die, die, drip......
If this trick is still effective in peacetime, most of the puppet army are too timid to confront the Japanese army head-on, not to mention that there are more Japanese troops behind the Japanese army as the backing, and everyone understands the truth that the arms can't reach the thighs. But when is this now, the little devils are dying and pretending to be uncle, who the fuck are you bluffing?!
This is like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the puppet army stationed in the outer city has risen up one after another. Those Japanese officers who were arranged in the outer city to control the puppet army were beheaded by the puppet army on the spot, and their heads were cut off to pay tribute to the Chinese troops, and even the puppet army simply launched an attack on the inner city...... The puppet army hoped to take the inner city and ask the Chinese troops for credit.
The Chinese troops were in no hurry to attack...... At this time, the city of Shenyang has become a mess, there are gunshots, cannons and explosions everywhere, and there are constantly people and puppet troops fleeing from the city, if the Chinese army is mixed in at this time, although Shenyang can be quickly liberated, but it is conceivable that it will greatly increase the casualties of the people, and it is even difficult to distinguish which puppet troops are going to surrender and which puppet armies are going to resist to the end, so it will be a chaotic war.
So the Chinese troops were firmly stationed outside the city, and they were responsible for receiving the people who had escaped from the city and receiving the puppet troops who came to surrender.
This situation lasted for several hours, until the sky was about to lighten, and the city of Shenyang was already full of flames and smoke.
"How many people are there in the city?" Zhang Chi asked a puppet soldier who had just escaped from the city.
"Report sir!" The puppet army replied: "Almost all of them have escaped, most of the rest are injured in the chaos and can't escape, the outer city can be said to be an empty city!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded, this was exactly what Zhang Chi wanted.
At this time, a golden light flashed in the east, and the long-lost sun finally rose from the sky, and with a wave of his hand, the communication soldiers who had been prepared for a long time immediately gave an order to the microphone: "Attack!" Repeat, attack! ”
As soon as the tank driver stepped on the accelerator, dozens of "Sherman" tanks were divided into four directions and compressed towards the city of Shenyang, which was surrounded like an iron barrel, followed by a group of infantry with M1 rifles in their hands and murderous faces.
The people who had already left the city and the puppet army who had surrendered to Cheng looked at this scene, and they were secretly glad that they had made the right choice, otherwise they would be defeated with a single charge against these killing machines.
It's easy to take the outer city...... The outer wall, which was only half a meter thick, collapsed with a slight impact, and the inside was an empty city, as the surrendered puppet army said.
Of course, there were still some wounded puppet soldiers and civilians who were hiding in the corners, and the soldiers, in line with the principle of trying not to injure a single person by mistake, divided a team of soldiers and cars to take them out as quickly as possible.
But the situation became more and more difficult as the front moved forward.
The reason is that Yamashita saw the scene of the Chinese army rescuing the people in the telescope, and in order to make the last dying struggle, he immediately ordered the Japanese soldiers to change into the clothes of the people and sneak into the houses in the outer city with explosives bags to prepare for the bombing of tanks.
But Yamashita thought things were simple......
The Chinese Expeditionary Force is a force that has come all the way from Burma, and when they are in Burma, they often encounter Japanese people disguised as Burmese civilians and even Burmese militants are unfavorable to the Chinese troops, so they know how to protect themselves, and they will not allow anyone, even people dressed as civilians, to approach the tanks until they are safe.
As a result, those Japanese soldiers disguised as civilians fell under the guns of the expeditionary force soldiers halfway.
Half an hour later, the expeditionary force reached the vicinity of the inner city walls...... A large part of this half-hour was spent searching the houses in the outer city, and after the search was confirmed that no one was there, they were demolished one by one, and particularly strong and strategically important buildings were garrisoned.
This was the most basic measure to ensure that the rear of the expeditionary force would not be attacked by the enemy.
Then it took ten minutes for the attacking troops to put themselves in order, and then a salvo of 10,000 guns followed...... Tank guns, mortars, howitzers, artillery after artillery bombardment, bombers and fighters rushed from the Dalian aircraft carrier to help the battle also set up the battle group, constantly diving bombs and shells to pour bombs and shells onto the city wall where the Japanese army was stationed.
The Chinese army's superiority in firepower has completely offset the Japanese army's geographical superiority, and it can even be said that the so-called "geographical superiority" of the Japanese army is no longer an advantage......
Although the walls of the Cold Weapons period were condescending and impassable by tanks and infantry, they seemed to be a good protection.
However, the Japanese troops stationed on the city wall also had no protection at all, and the arrows used by the arrow stacks to protect against cold weapons were okay, but the fire prevention guns were dwarfed...... As soon as tank guns and howitzers bombarded it, the entire arrow stack shattered like flour, and the broken gravel would scatter like shrapnel, beating the Japanese troops on the city wall to the ground, and the mortars directly hit the shells into the city wall and exploded indiscriminately.
And once the arrow stacks were destroyed, the Japanese troops on the city walls were completely covered by rifle and machine gun fire like targets, and there was nowhere to hide.
This is also the reason why modern warfare no longer builds walls, and even if they are built underground, for example, the "Maginot Line", which is known as the strongest in the world, is mostly underground.
As for a city wall like Shenyang on the ground, it is really a question of how many shells are consumed...... No matter how thick the walls are, there will always be a time when they will blow up.
Therefore, this kind of city can only bully and bully the guerrillas who have no guns and no artillery, and in front of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, it is just an ornament. (To be continued.) )
