A real siege battle ensued. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

To be precise, this should be called street fighting rather than siege warfare...... Because it had already started hand-to-hand combat at the moment when the tanks of the expeditionary force drove into the edge of Changchun City.

This was the most difficult battle since the expeditionary force entered the puppet state of Manchukuo...... Although the soldiers pushed forward with great care, and were covered by the "Sherman" tanks, which were invincible in terms of protection and firepower, Changchun was like a huge trap, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force would always be ambushed again and again when entering the city......

Sometimes it's because of the trap, which is not a trap in the ordinary sense of digging a hole in the ground, which is so uncreative that the soldiers of the expeditionary force who have come all the way from Burma can deal with it.

The Japanese 39th Division also fought on the battlefield, and they knew how to design more clever traps...... Take advantage of the buildings lining the streets.

As mentioned before, Changchun was built by the Japanese army for propaganda and deception to the outside world, so its multi-storey buildings abound, even less than Shanghai, known as the Pearl of the Orient. On the one hand, these buildings could be a good hiding place for Japanese soldiers...... A few sandbags were erected on the windows, and then a few more guns were set up, and the Chinese troops had to bombard one after the other with artillery.

And this is okay, when the Chinese troops finally cleared a building and moved forward, suddenly the building tens of meters high collapsed and buried the nearby expeditionary force troops under the building...... The Japanese had already planted bombs under the foundations of the buildings, which could hit the living forces of the expeditionary force and block the roads.

Sometimes it's because of the Japanese army...... This is the most troublesome point for the soldiers, many Japanese soldiers are wearing civilian clothes, and it is impossible to tell from the appearance that it is the Japanese army or the people, so after killing one such target, the soldiers can't help but think: Is that Chinese or Japanese? Maybe he didn't have explosives strapped to him, but just wanted to escape from the Japanese?

These thoughts almost broke the soldiers, and at one point they saw that the enemy did not dare to pull the trigger, so they had to retreat after paying the casualties.

Later, Zhang Chi learned that under the management of Sasa Shinnosuke, Changchun City at this time had become a strong defensive fortress:

The group bunkers are all over the urban area, and they are all reinforced concrete and civil steel plate structures...... There are a lot of these materials in Changchun, and the Japanese army was originally going to build a civil construction "model city" in Changchun, and it was still under construction at this time, so the most important thing in Changchun was construction workers and materials, and Shinnosuke Sasa used it and built a bunker in key parts in a short time.

In order to facilitate communication and transport of troops and ammunition, all core support points and fort groups in various places are connected. The buildings of the army, division, and regimental headquarters, which are important core positions, have tunnels and basements, ammunition depots, command posts, and power generation and lighting equipment, and the buildings are full of fire points. There are also obstacles in the urban area, including foot pits, stumbling scaffolds, barbed wire fences with bells, deer barricades, and mine arrays.

Each garrison area is equipped with light and heavy artillery, various light and heavy machine guns, and automatic firearms according to different levels of high and low levels, forming a dense firepower network that combines straight fire, side fire, crossing, and reverse fire.

This makes basically every building in the whole city of Changchun a light and dark firepower point, and every step is a death trap of the organs, forming a circular defense whole composed of various independent support points.

This defense system, coupled with the Japanese army's use of civilians, enabled the expeditionary force to advance only a few dozen meters in one morning, and the casualties reached an unprecedented 500 people......

"Pause the offense!" Zhang Chi gave the order in time when he saw the casualties.

"Master!" The townsfolk were a little crazy, and he pleaded in a hoarse voice on the walkie-talkie: "I beg to continue the attack, I don't believe in this evil ...... the damn."

"Obey orders!" Zhang Chi ordered with a dark face: "All withdraw from Changchun City!" ”

"Withdraw from Changchun City?" Wu Yuhang was a little incomprehensible: "Then we didn't fight in vain?" ”

"Less nonsense, get out!" Zhang Chi snapped and hung up the phone.

This battle is fought like this, but it continues to be like this...... When it gets dark, I'm afraid the situation will get worse.

Then Zhang Chi let out a long sigh, and only advanced a few dozen meters and suffered more than 500 casualties, so if Changchun is to be defeated, the new first division and even the Sixth Army will not be defeated? !

But what can be done now?

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi sent a telegram to the extremely poor students, asking them to find out the location of the Japanese army's ammunition depot.

The expeditionary force has air power, as long as it knows the location of the ammunition depot, plus the guidance of the extremely poor students...... The bomb arsenal seems to be feasible.

But the call back he got from the extremely poor student disappointed Zhang Chi: "The enemy ammunition has been evacuated!" ”

Shinnosuke Sasa is not an ordinary person, he is an officer with a lot of experience in actual combat, and of course it is impossible not to know how to evacuate ammunition when the enemy has air supremacy.

After walking back and forth a few times in front of the map of the headquarters, Zhang Chi sent a telegram to the special hardship: "The location of the enemy's headquarters!" ”

If you can't blow up the ammunition depot, you can always blow up the headquarters!

However, the answer still disappointed Zhang Chi: "The command is frequently changed, and it cannot be discovered!" ”

At the same time as the expeditionary force attacked the city, they disguised themselves as puppet soldiers and moved around the city to collect information, and even the extremely poor students planned to launch an attack on the Japanese headquarters.

But Sasa Shinnosuke knew that there were enemy scouts in the city...... He wouldn't be stupid enough to find out the scouts at this time, which would only cause coordination and even suspicion between the Japanese puppet army, so he used the tunnel to secretly change the location in the city, so that the people in need of the poor were always unable to accurately grasp the whereabouts of Sasa Shinnosuke.

Zhang Chi walked around the headquarters anxiously, the cigarettes in his hand were one after another, but even if Zhang Chi wanted to break his head, he couldn't find a solution.

Zhang Chi met an opponent this time, a very difficult opponent.

"Master!" At this time, a signal soldier entered the door and reported: "Someone wants to see you!" ”

"Nope!" Zhang Chi refused without thinking about it, where was he still in the mood to meet someone at this time.

"But he said......" said the signal soldier hesitantly, "he said that he knows the division, and can solve the problem of the division!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned.

Staff Officer Liang, who was busy sorting out information not far away, couldn't help but turn around.

Solving the problem of relaxation? Could this be the fight against Changchun?!
