The fierce shelling of two or three hundred cannons was extremely powerful, and the killing effect was also very good. ,!

Luo Jihua, commander of the 4th Column, and Liao Yaoxiang, commander of the Independent Division, were standing side by side in front of the joint headquarters, holding binoculars, watching the shelling of various artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades.

Although they were far away, they could still hear the deafening explosion coming from in front of them, the dense explosion, and the two of them felt very pleasant to hear.

In the binoculars of the two of them, you can see a little devil in the distance defensive position, the earth is flying, the smoke is filled, presumably on that position, the little devil's casualties must be very miserable.

"Lao Liao, our heavy artillery is powerful, this is enough for the little devils." Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th Column, was full of joy and said happily to Liao Yaoxiang next to him, "Our half-hour artillery bombardment can basically destroy all the peripheral positions of the little devils. ”

Hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang nodded, "Yes!" Lao Luo, under our heavy artillery, all the fortifications of the little devils will be wiped out, but our shell consumption is still very large. ”

What Liao Yaoxiang said was completely true, this time, the independent division and the 4th column went deep behind enemy lines, and the artillery shells they carried were naturally limited, and the shells consumed by the half-hour intensive artillery bombardment were only half of the total number of shells.

"Lao Liao, you are too petty, although we don't carry many shells this time, as long as we fight Siping, it is completely worth it to use our heavy artillery to hit the living force of the little devil to a great extent. The commander-in-chief has always taught us to use artillery shells as much as possible to minimize the casualties of the soldiers. ”

Zhang Yunfei has always believed in the idea of artillery, not only is each column equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, but on the battlefield, he also advocates first shelling and then charging.

Zhang Yunfei's concept is so. The commanders of the columns below were naturally deeply influenced by Zhang Yunfei every time they fought. They all shelled first, and then charged, although the tactics were unpretentious. However, every time it can get miraculous results, under a heavy artillery bombardment, few little devils can withstand it.

Not long after Liao Yaoxiang joined the 36th Group Army, only a few months, he naturally did not have such a deep experience like Luo Jihua, but with the passage of time, many of Liao Yaoxiang's concepts. In the future, he will slowly be influenced by Zhang Yunfei.

Now, after listening to Luo Jihua's words, Liao Yaoxiang smiled, "Old Luo, you're still right." As long as we can blow up the little devils, we shouldn't feel sorry for the shells, the shells can be replenished after they are finished, and if the soldiers are sacrificed, it will be a big loss, and they will sleep here forever. ”

Hear the words. Luo Jihua nodded, the two of them chatted and laughed, while watching the shelling situation with great interest, after more than ten minutes of shelling, the artillery fire began to extend to the depth of the little devil's defensive position, and the extended shelling began.

*******

Shenyang, headquarters of the Kwantung Army.

Umezu Mijiro, commander of the Little Devil Kwantung Army, had already received telegrams from many Little Devil troops, and Umezu Mijiro already knew that a large number of troops of the 36th Group Army had left Jinzhou and were heading for Shenyang.

Umezu Mijiro also knew that the 36th Group Army's troops, which were located on the periphery of Siping, had begun to attack the periphery of Siping since this morning.

"Your Excellency Commander, this time, the 36th Group Army has made a large-scale sortie, and the target is directly aimed at Shenyang! Our troops in Shenyang are still seriously insufficient, only a hundred thousand men, less than half of the attacking troops of the 36th Group Army. ”

The chief of staff of the little devil looked worried, and lamented that his troops in Shenyang were seriously insufficient.

Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro also had a solemn face, his own troops were at an absolute disadvantage, Umezu Mijiro knew that now, Umezu Mijiro had ordered the Kwantung Army in Changchun and other places to go south and reinforce Shenyang.

In the eyes of Umezu Mijiro, Shenyang absolutely cannot afford to lose, Shenyang not only has a large number of factories, a strong industrial base, moreover, Shenyang is the location of the headquarters of its own Kwantung Army, once Shenyang is lost, for the entire Kwantung Army, not only will the morale be greatly hit, but also will lose a large number of factories.

For the sake of Shenyang, Umezu Yoshijiro did whatever it takes, and Umezu Mijiro has strictly ordered a large number of Kwantung troops stationed in Changchun and its vicinity to go south along the railways and highways to reinforce Shenyang.

Umezu Mijiro also gave an order to the puppet Manchukuo, ordering the puppet Manchukuo to mobilize no less than 200,000 troops to cooperate with the Kwantung Army to fight and reinforce Shenyang.

For Shenyang, Umezu Mijiro mobilized a large number of troops, nearly half of the Kwantung Army was transferred, 300,000 Kwantung Army, 200,000 puppet Manchukuo troops, and the 36th Group Army would have a big battle.

This would be a strategic decisive battle between the Kwantung Army and the 36th Army.

The chief of staff of the little devil naturally knew Umezu Mijiro's determination, but he was still a little worried: "Your Excellency Commander, our reinforcements are going south, and Siping is our must pass, but now, Siping has been surrounded by the 36th Group Corps. ”

Hearing this, Umezu Mijiro waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "The troops of the 36th Group Army in Siping, with only tens of thousands of people, how can they stop our hundreds of thousands of troops from moving south, and our southward army will crush everything that is blocked, and the same is true for these tens of thousands of 36th Group Army." ”

In the eyes of Umezu Mijiro, the tens of thousands of troops of the 36th Group Army, deep into his hinterland, are completely alone, and they will soon be wiped out in front of his hundreds of thousands of troops heading south.

Umezu Mijiro also wanted to eliminate the 36th Army in order to boost the morale of his Kwantung Army.

Just when Umezu Mijiro thought that these tens of thousands of troops of the 36th Group Army were fat on his chopping board, a little devil communication soldier, holding a telegram, walked in anxiously.

The little devil stood upright in front of Umezu Mijiro and bent down to salute, "Your Excellency Commander, the 112th Division of Sihei is calling. ”

Seeing that it was a telegram from Siping, Umezu Mijiro snatched the telegram, glanced at it hurriedly, and then became furious. "Yaga! A lone army of the 36th Group Army also dared to be arrogant, and he died! ”

In the telegram, the 112th Division reported that its outlying positions had been bombarded by a large number of heavy artillery of the 36th Group and had suffered heavy losses.

Siping is only a small city of less than 100,000 people, because its strategic location is more important, Umezu Mijiro only deployed a division of troops, and a few days ago he also strictly ordered the 112th Division to build fortifications and stand for reinforcements.

Because it won't be long before a large number of reinforcements from Changchun will go south, in the eyes of Umezu Mijiro, a division and nearly 20,000 troops are enough.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of Umezu Mijiro, this lone army of the 36th Army, deep in his own hinterland, also dared to bombard his defenders in Siping on a large scale, so Umezu Mijiro was furious.

Umezu Mijiro's face was fierce, and he immediately issued an order: "Order, Shenyang Airport will send planes to destroy all the heavy artillery groups of the 36th Group Army on the periphery of Siping." ”

As soon as they received the order, a large number of planes at Shenyang Airport took off one after another, and twenty or thirty bombers, escorted by a squadron of fighters, flew in the direction of Siping.

The little devils made a bloody investment this time, and all the bombers at Shenyang Airport were dispatched, and one of the three fighter squadrons was also dispatched.

More than fifty planes, a large group, headed for Siping.

******

Siping.

The shelling of the 4th Column and the Independent Division had just stopped, and the outer positions of the little devils had all been destroyed, and the loud trumpet of the charge had sounded.

Three tank regiments of the 4th Column, one tank regiment of the independent division, attacked from four directions in Siping, and a large number of fighters of the infantry regiment, accompanied by a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the tank regiment.

A large number of tanks and armored vehicles, leading the way, a large number of fighters of infantry regiments, closely followed, and the fighters moved quickly and soon approached the forward positions of the little devils.

On the periphery of Siping, the positions of many little devils have been destroyed by intensive shelling, and the little devils who stick to their positions have suffered heavy casualties, and the positions are full of corpses of little devils.

Siping to the north.

A huge little devil defense position, the same, one by one big pits, full of little devils' positions, on the position, the trenches built by the little devils almost no longer exist, a large number of corpses, a large number of scattered weapons, can be seen everywhere.

A little devil wing captain who was in charge of the defense of the north of the city had just gotten up with a disgraced face, and the little devil wing captain was untidy and covered in mud, without his usual image.

"Your Excellency, Wing Commander! You see, the troops of the 36th Army began to attack. ”

A surviving little devil Shaozuo pointed into the distance in horror and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, the little devil wing leader looked up into the distance, only a few hundred meters away from him, a large number of tanks, a large number of infantry soldiers of the 36th Group Army, had already come up like a tide.

The captain of the little devil wing looked around his position, and saw that his position was in a mess, and the living little devils may be less than one-third of what they used to be, and most of the little devils were injured.

How to fight this, the captain of the little devil wing was full of despair, "Quickly send a report to the division and regiment headquarters in the city, the position in the north of the city has been fatally attacked, and now, the troops of the 36th Group Army have come up, and our wing is desperately resisting." ”

After giving the order, the captain of the little devil wing drew his command knife and shouted: "Kill to !! ”

At the last moment, the captain of the Little Devil Wing ordered the surviving Little Devil to make a final resistance.
