Chapter 492: Shenyang
Of course, the Chinese people welcome this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that although these Japanese people are called ordinary people, since they came to China, they have been looking down on the Chinese people from a super-national posture, and it is not uncommon for them to take advantage of the Chinese people...... With the Japanese army behind them to support them, of course they can ride on the heads of the Chinese people to make a fortune.
And the Chinese people dare not be angry with them...... For the sake of his life, he can only suppress his anger in the bottom of his heart.
A considerable part of the Chinese people felt that there was no hope of revenge, because the war reports from the front were Japanese victories...... Some of these victories were facts, and some of them were exaggerated by the Japanese army or "reported good news but not bad news," and their purpose was, of course, also for the sake of stability in the enemy-occupied areas.
But unexpectedly, all of a sudden, there was a news that the Chinese troops had driven away the Japanese army and the puppet army...... Because this happened so quickly, the people didn't dare to believe it, and at first they thought it could be some trick played by the Japanese, but the gunfire and artillery outside were not fake, and the corpses of the Japanese were not fake, and then there were teams of troops speaking Chinese who came ashore was not fake...... Although the uniforms worn by this unit and the equipment in their hands did not resemble those of the Chinese army, there were many natives of Northeast China among them, and the common people heard that this unit was the "Chinese Expeditionary Force", so they quickly won the trust of the people.
As a result, the entire brigade area was thunderous, and the people took to the streets to welcome the arrival of the expeditionary force, and the slogans put up by the Chinese people everywhere were particularly touching...... There are many Northeast soldiers in the army who meet their relatives or acquaintances on the street, and they can't say anything at first sight, they only know the pain of holding their heads, and that scene only makes the people watching this scene can't help but shed tears.
Therefore, in fact, there was no need to do the propaganda work at all, and the people spontaneously ran to tell each other to help the expeditionary force to do it. There is no need to worry about the source of soldiers, as within an hour of the expeditionary force's landing, a large number of civilians asked to join the expeditionary force to fight devils together, and all the expeditionary force had to do was to screen and use the "Springfield" rifles and other equipment brought to them to arm them in the shortest possible time and conduct basic training and organization for them.
As for the purge of the devils and the Japanese, that's even more so...... Which family, how many people in the family, how many men and a few women, how old each is is quickly clear, and even many people volunteered to take the warriors with them.
Of course, Zhang Chi can't see all this, he only has Shenyang, Shenyang or Shenyang in his eyes......
Shenyang is the largest city in Northeast China, although it is not the capital of Manchuria...... The capital of the puppet Manchu State was located in Changchun, not because of how important Changchun was, but because Changchun was located in the center of the northeast, and it was not easy to be attacked by the enemy, that is, the Chinese troops, when the puppet Manchurian State was established, so the Japanese puppet army also called Changchun Xinjing.
But in fact, if you look at it from a strategic point of view, Shenyang is the most important city in the three northeastern provinces.
It is well known that the Chinese landscape is like a rooster, and the location of Shenyang happens to be on the south side of the chicken's neck...... Most of the roads and railways are south, and most of them pass through Shenyang, which means that Shenyang is the transportation hub of the three northeastern provinces and the rest of China. More importantly...... At this time, there were also two airports in Shenyang.
The two airports are Dongta Airport and Beiling Airport.
The Middle East Tower Airport was built in the era of Zhang Zuolin, and later fell into the hands of the Japanese in the hands of Zhang Xueliang, and together with the airport, the Japanese captured more than 100 planes and a large number of parts that had just been purchased from the Czech Republic and had not yet been assembled in a hurry, and these planes and equipment were soon used by the Japanese army to become the culprits of the bombing of China.
Later, the Beiling Airport was built by the Japanese in 36. The purpose of its construction is that, as mentioned before, the city of Shenyang is an important transportation hub, so it is inevitable that there will be various commercial or private aircraft exchanges, and even planes from Japan are landing in Shenyang, and Shenyang at that time there was only one airport, that is, Dongta Airport, this airport is responsible for the take-off and landing of military and civil aircraft at the same time, and there will naturally be various problems in scheduling.
So the Japanese built a Beiling Airport for civilian use, and Dongta Airport for military use.
No doubt...... If Shenyang falls into the hands of the Chinese army, it means that a large number of Chinese equipment and supplies can be airlifted to the hands of the Chinese expeditionary force through transport planes, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of the Chinese expeditionary force's supply, shorten the supply time and reduce the risk of supply...... Although the volume of transportation from the sea is large, it is extremely dependent on the safety of air routes and roads and railways, and if there is an airport that can be used, emergency supplies can be carried out in the event of special circumstances.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons. In fact, the Northeast is relatively flat, with plenty of suitable locations for airfields, and the Chinese military carries a large amount of engineering equipment that can build airfields for large transport planes to land in a short period of time.
Therefore, what is more important is the location of Shenyang as a transportation hub, once Shenyang and its airport are taken and the air force of the Sino-US coalition is stationed, it can easily grasp air supremacy and block the traffic arteries from the air.
At this time, on the Japanese side, Lieutenant General Yamashita Yuanyuan did not even know that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was approaching Shenyang.
This is unimaginable in modern times...... Previously, a wing of Matsumoto Daisa's army was defeated by the Chinese army with lightning speed, and although it was routed, hundreds of Japanese troops fled, why didn't these Japanese soldiers give Yamashino a long way?
At this time, it is not like everyone has a mobile phone like in modern times, and if you want to send any message, you just need to pick up the phone and pull out the phone or send a text message.
During World War II, the military's methods of transmitting information were basically telephone and radio...... In particular, after the Japanese military industry was relatively weak at this time, the army was not yet equipped with walkie-talkies, and the telephones were all wired telephones that were to be drawn temporarily, so the troops sent out to fight relied heavily on radio stations, and the radio stations were only equipped with one or two units at the wing level, and one was used for backup by the other.
The problem with Matsumoto's wing was that they were defeated by Wu Yuhang's second regiment at the first time, and Matsumoto also insisted on organizing two breakouts, and chose to escape when they found that they could not break through, so their entire headquarters, including the radio station, were captured by the second regiment.
In addition, the telephone lines were destroyed by the guerrillas along the way, so the escaped Japanese troops were unable to transmit information to Shenyang.
If there was really a warning, the Japanese army would have to run all the way back to Shenyang to report, but the Chinese tanks were advancing at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, which was faster than the Japanese reported the news.
I'm afraid that the news has not yet arrived, and the tanks of the Chinese army have all driven to Shenyang.
