Chapter 502 Bridge

The 203rd Regiment collapsed under a charge of the Second Regiment. What's worse is that the Japanese commander Ishida and his command did not come and flee... As a veteran and a veteran who participated in the Wuhan Battle, his habit was to lead by example... This can also be said to be a show-off, because when Ishida was speaking, he often talked about how thrilling battles he had participated in.

If it was on other battlefields, Ishida would not have any problems with "leading by the way", because the enemies of Manchu Kingdom were basically guerrillas, and walking in front of the team was a cool breeze. Occasionally, when you encounter a few enemies, you would draw out your command knife and wave it forward... The problem was solved in just a few seconds.

But now Colonel Ishida kicked the steel plate, to be precise, and he kicked the armor of the "Sheerman" tank. He walked in front of him without even snorting, and then fell into the dense rain of bullets of the expeditionary force.

For the Japanese army, the commander of the commander was nothing, because the Japanese army had regulations that if the colonel died, the commander of Zhongzuo, and if the chief of Zhongzuo died, the commander of the chief was the commander of the chief.

But the problem is that Ishida's command center is behind him, and there are two radio stations together with the command center.

The result of this is that Yamashita Fumiya not only did not know that the 203rd Regiment had been defeated by the Chinese troops, but also thought that the 203rd Regiment was breaking the road and returning to Shenyang as he followed the order.

So Murata Yamashita led the only remaining wing, the 205th wing, to garrison along the Hun River.

Of course, the decision of Musato Yamashita was correct. From this, we can also see that Musato Yamashita still has certain military qualities... The enemy landed in the direction of Lushun, and the Hunhe River was in the south of Shenyang City, which means that if the enemy wants to attack Shenyang, they must cross the Hunhe River.

There are only two bridges on the Hunhe River, one is a railway bridge and the other is a highway bridge... To be precise, there are three bridges, two railway bridges, namely the upper and middle lines. Only piers were built on the downline. Because the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese army was short of steel, so the construction of the downline was suspended.

(Note: There are differences between online and offline railways, mainly in the direction of train operation. The highway bridge mentioned in the article refers to the old "Hunhe Bridge", the "Shengli Bridge", "Work and Nong Bridge" in modern Shenyang, and the new "Hunhe Bridge" were all built after World War II. The location of the old "Hunhe Bridge" is next to the new "Hunhe Bridge". Now only piers between 17 and 18 holes are left as a commemoration.)

So it is obvious that to defend Shenyang, you only need to defend Hunhe River. Especially those three bridges... you can also blow up the three bridges when necessary, so that the enemy's march can be delayed.

However, Fumiyama Yamashita was still reluctant to blow up these three bridges, and his psychology was somewhat similar to Colonel Ishida... These three bridges can be said to be the lifeblood of transportation from Shenyang to Lushun. If they were blown up, it would almost mean that the transportation between the three northeastern provinces and the Japanese mainland was interrupted. You should know that at this time, the Japanese army was even in short supply of steel so that they were not enough to complete the offline railway bridge, so it would be natural to explode the bridge.

For this reason, Yamashita Fumito also specifically asked Shimookabe Naosaburo.

Originally, Naosaburo Okabe replied: "What are you talking about? There are so many people in Japan waiting for us to transport grain, and the factory is waiting for us to deliver steel, but you are thinking about blowing up the bridge? Even if you sacrifice your life, you have to protect these three bridges. Do you understand?"

"Yes!" Yamashita Fumiya responded.

But after the train on the 123rd Division was bombed, Naosaburo Okabe had no choice but to call Yamashita Fumito: "Be prepared to explode the bridge! But unless it is absolutely necessary... you are not allowed to explode the bridge!"

"yes!"

Yamashita Fumiyuan was not happy at all when he heard this because he knew that this meant that there were no other reinforcements in Chenyang, which meant that Chenyang was over.

So the three bridges were quickly loaded with explosives, and the 205th Wing also built fortifications along the river, especially at the bridgehead.

Zhang Chi got the news soon.

Originally, important military targets like bridges should have sent troops to raid in the blitz in advance, occupying and guarding them for a period of time, waiting for the arrival of the main force.

But considering that the Japanese army's defense at Hunhe Bridge was very tight and the Hunhe Bridge was on the edge of Shenyang City, it was too difficult for the squadron to occupy Hunhe Bridge... The difficulty came from not only occupying these bridges but also defending these bridges. Not only did they have to defend these bridges, but they also ensure that these bridges were not blown up by the Japanese army. This was almost impossible to complete when the Japanese army had a division stationed in Chenyang and there were artillery soldiers.

Therefore, there is only another method for opening and singling and singling.

Just as Mutsu Yuan was commanding the troops to deploy defenses along the coast, a communication soldier suddenly flew to Mutsu Yuan in a panic and handed a telegram to Mutsu Yuan: "Lieutenant General, Fushun was attacked by the enemy..."

"What?" Shanxia Wenyuan was shocked when he heard this.

Fushun is 45 kilometers east of Shenyang. Because it is rich in coal mines, it is known as the coal capital. Because it is a coal capital, there is also a highway bridge called "Yong'an Bridge" in Fushun... This bridge was built in 1913 by the governor of Fushun. In order to transport coal from Fushun more conveniently, the Japanese army transported the old iron bridge left by the Russians to transform the bridge body to make it stronger, so the current "Yong'an Bridge" was created.

After a moment of froze, Yamashita Furuo frowned and asked, "Where are our troops stationed in Fushun? What are they doing? Order them to blow up the bridge immediately..."

The Japanese army had a squadron in Fushun with more than 200 people, plus two battalions of puppet troops, with a total force of about 1,000 people.

It may be difficult for more than a thousand people to defend the "Yong'an Bridge", but the problem of blowing up the "Yong'an Bridge" is not very big.

"Lieutenant General!" The correspondent replied helplessly: "The enemy has attacked Fushun and blown up the 'Yong'an Bridge'... I'm afraid it's too late!"

Yamashita Wenyuan couldn't help but sit on the chair. If the enemy crossed the Hun River from Fushun, then he would have completely lost his meaning to deploy defense along the Hun River, because the enemy could completely attack Chenyang from the right rear.

After thinking about it, Yamashita Furuo ordered: "Hurry, send troops to reinforce Fushun immediately, be sure to blow up the 'Yong'an Bridge'!"

However, before Yamashita Fuyuan finished speaking, another communication soldier ran in and reported: "Lieutenant General, Fushun is lost!"

Yamashita Fumiyama couldn't help but look pale. After a while, he sighed and said, "Order the troops to withdraw from the city!"

Staff Toyokawa asked next to him: "Do you need to blow up Hunhe Bridge and Railway Bridge?"
