After dealing with the matter of the train station, Zhang Chi turned his attention to Shenyang City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the Chinese troops were no longer in a hurry to attack the city of Shenyang, because the overall situation had already been decided...... Important strategic locations in Shenyang, such as airports and railway stations, were either destroyed or occupied. The Japanese 123rd Division that came to reinforce Shenyang has also been defeated, although the 123rd Division still continues to rush to Shenyang with the remnants of the whole group, but without train transportation, they can only march on foot, a distance of about 100 kilometers is enough for them to catch up for a few days, not to mention that they still advance lightly, even if they rush to Shenyang, it will not pose any threat to the expeditionary force.

More importantly...... The 122nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Shenyang had already transferred troops out of the city twice for reinforcements and were defeated respectively, so the Japanese army in Shenyang at this time had only one infantry wing and one artillery wing, with a total strength of only more than 4,000 people. There are also two regiments of puppet troops, but judging from the combat situation along the way, the puppet army is basically negligible...... Wu Yuhang's second regiment even wanted to find a puppet army to fight a dozen of them, but they couldn't fulfill their wishes.

"The enemy is mainly distributed in three positions!" In the temporary headquarters of the engineers, Wu Yuhang introduced while drawing on the map: "They are in the main city of Shenyang, Dongdaying and Beidaying. Among them, the main city of Shenyang has the largest number of people, with 3,000 devils and a regiment of puppet troops; The North Battalion has a squadron of devils and a battalion of puppet soldiers; There are two squadrons of devils in the East Battalion and about a regiment of puppet troops! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded in appreciation.

This is exactly the same as Zhang Chi's estimate, the main strength of the Japanese puppet army must be concentrated in the main city of Shenyang...... Because there are three city walls here that can be defended, especially the center and the inner city, it is said that it was built by Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and it is a city wall more than three zhang high in the era of real cold weapon warfare, and the city wall can also accommodate two carriages to pass at the same time, you can imagine how strong this city wall is.

(Note: The center here refers to the Shenyang Forbidden City, the pattern of the ancient Shenyang City is to build four "well" shaped roads with the Shenyang Forbidden City as the center, and then build the inner city and the outer city outside, the intersection of the road and the city wall is the city gate, and the direction of the city gate is named, for example, the east to the inner city gate is the "small east gate", "big east gate", the north to the inner city gate is the "small north gate", and the outer city gate is added with a "side" word, such as "small north gate")

Because this city wall is strong and easy to defend, most of the Japanese troops with "noble" identities are in the main city, and even if there are puppet troops, they are only in it to maintain order or act as cannon fodder.

After the Japanese army occupied Shenyang, it was renamed the "Central Army Training School", which was simply regarded as the military school of the puppet Manchurian state, and it was a place where the Japanese army trained the puppet army to improve its combat effectiveness and brainwash, and its status would naturally be higher, and there were more Japanese puppet troops stationed. (Note: Dongdaying is now the Shenyang Artillery Academy)

The second is Beidaying, which was built by Xu Shichang during the Qing Dynasty, and is 5 kilometers north of the main city of Shenyang. Its geographical location is not unimportant, in fact, the Beida Camp is even stronger than the East Daying, and the North Daying is the northern barrier of Shenyang, but the North Daying is a pure barracks and is not a barracks plus military school like the East Daying, plus the Japanese army has no need to defend itself in Shenyang, so this Beida Camp has not been valued by the Japanese army.

For a long time, the Northern Battalion was used by the Japanese army to hold prisoners captured from the Pacific theater...... This was mainly due to the fact that the Japanese army was losing ground in the Pacific theater, and there was no place for their prisoners in the Pacific theater, because it was expected that the places of detention would soon be captured by the Allies, such as the Philippines, so the Japanese army transferred a large number of prisoners from all over the Pacific to the relative safety of the puppet state of Manchuria.

These captives were American, Austrian, British, and Dutch...... The captives were taken to work in the mines, five miles away, every day, and returned in the evening.

Therefore, the Beida Camp was not called the Beida Camp at this time, but was called the "Mukden Temporary Prisoner Shelter" by the Japanese army...... The word "temporary" is used here because a formal prisoner shelter is already under construction in Shenyang's Dadong District.

Zhang Chi can understand why the maps drawn by the scouts still use the old names of "Dongdaying" and "Beidaying...... A considerable number of the scouts were from the Northeast, and they knew the original names of these places, partly according to their own custom of being called, and partly to express their disapproval of the Japanese names.

However, this will undoubtedly bring some trouble to the subsequent battle: other soldiers who are not familiar with the terrain of the northeast do not know what the "East Battalion" and "North Battalion" are, and they cannot be found in the field because of the naming problem, so there may be big problems.

So Zhang Chi said to Wu Yuhang: "Pass down the order, collect intelligence, and make maps according to the existing names, and then change the names when these places are taken back!" ”

"Yes!"

Staff Officer Liang looked at the map for a while, and then said, "Shizuo, look...... Are we going to wait until dawn to fight? ”

Zhang Chi knew what Staff Officer Liang meant.

The Japanese distributed their forces to these three places, namely the main city, the eastern camp and the northern battalion, in order to form a mutual support situation in the three places, especially since it was still night...... The Chinese army is not familiar with the terrain, so it is easy for the Japanese army to infiltrate the troops and fight infiltration warfare.

Therefore, it may be a good choice to wait until dawn to fight, which can not only reduce the possible casualties of the expeditionary force, but also allow the expeditionary force to have a few hours of rest after a long run of more than ten hours. Not to mention, the combat effectiveness of the tank at night will also be limited to a certain extent.

But Zhang Chi shook his head and rejected Staff Officer Liang's suggestion.

After looking at his watch, Zhang Chi ordered: "Let the brothers rest for two hours, and attack in two hours!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Yuhang and his fellow villagers responded.

Staff Officer Liang was a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Master, the brothers have been on the road for a day, and their bones are about to fall apart, this is ......."

"Staff Officer!" Zhang Chi said helplessly: "You have to know...... Our task is not only to lay down only one Shenyang, but also Siping, Changchun, and Jilin...... If we rest here for one more night, it means that the enemy can prepare for one more night. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to exchange human lives or even the whole plan! ”

Staff Officer Liang nodded, and then said no more.
