Chapter 506 Rename

After dealing with the railway station, Zhang Chi turned his attention to Chenyang City.

At this time, the Chinese troops were no longer in a hurry to attack Chenyang City, because the overall situation was determined... The important strategic locations in Chenyang were either destroyed or occupied, such as airports and railway stations. The 123rd Division of the Japanese army who came to reinforce Chenyang had also been defeated. Although the 123rd Division still continued to rush to Chenyang, they could only march without train transportation. The distance of about 100 kilometers was enough for them to catch a few days, not to mention that they were still moving forward with light equipment, and even if they arrived in Chenyang, they would not pose any threat to the expeditionary force.

More importantly,... the 122nd Division of the Japanese army stationed in Chenyang had already transferred troops out of the city to reinforce and were defeated respectively. Therefore, at this time, the Japanese army located in Chenyang had only one infantry registrar and one artillery registrar, with a total strength of only more than 4,000. There were also two puppet troops in the same regiment, but judging from the combat situation along the way, the puppet army could basically be ignored... Wu Yuhang's second regiment even wanted to find the puppet army to fight and expel the anger and could not get the wish.

"The enemy is mainly distributed in three locations!" In the temporary command center built by the engineers, Wu Yuhang introduced while drawing on the map: "In the main city of Shenyang, Dongdaying and Beidaying respectively. Among them, the main city of Shenyang has the largest number of people, with three thousand Japanese and a regiment of puppet troops; Beidaying has a squadron of Japanese and a battalion of puppet troops; Dongdaying has two squadrons of Japanese and a regiment of puppet troops!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded in appreciation.

This is exactly the same as Zhang Chi estimates. The main forces of the Japanese and puppet troops must be concentrated in the main city of Shenyang... Because there are three city walls in the center, inside and outside 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. It was a city wall of more than three meters high in the era of cold weapons combat. There were also two carriages on the city wall to pass at the same time. It is conceivable how strong the city wall is.

(Note: The center here refers to the Chenyang Forbidden City. The ancient Chenyang City structure was built with the Chenyang Forbidden City as the center. The inner city and outer city were built outwards. The intersection of the road and the city wall was the city gate, and named after the direction of the city gate. For example, the inner city gates to the east are "small east gate" and "big east gate", and the inner city gate to the north are "small north gate", and the outer city gate is added with the word "border", such as "small north gate")

Because the city wall is solid and easy to defend, most of the Japanese soldiers with "noble status" are in the main city. Even if the puppet troops have them, they only maintain order or act as cannon fodder.

The second thing is Dongdaying. This Dongdaying cannot be said to be "Dongdaying" at this time. After the Japanese occupied Chenyang, they changed it to "CSKA Training School". Simply put, it is regarded as the military academy of the puppet Manchukuo State. It is a place where the Japanese army trained the puppet army to improve their combat effectiveness and brainwash them. Its status will naturally be higher, and there are more Japanese and puppet troops stationed. (Note: Dongdaying is the current Chenyang Artillery Academy)

Another thing is Beidaying. Beidaying was built by Xu Shichang during the Qing Dynasty and was 5 kilometers north of the main city of Chenyang. Its geographical location is not unimportant. In fact, Beidaying is even stronger than Dongdaying. Beidaying is the northern barrier of Chenyang. However, Beidaying is a pure barracks. It is not like Dongdaying. In addition, the Japanese army has always had no need for defense in Shenyang, so this Beidaying was not valued by the Japanese army.

For a long time, Beidaying was used by the Japanese army to detain prisoners captured from the Pacific battlefield... This was mainly because the Japanese army retreated step by step on the Pacific battlefield. Their prisoners on the Pacific battlefield were no longer detained, because the expected detention areas would soon be captured by the Allied forces, such as the Philippines, so the Japanese army transferred a large number of prisoners from all over the Pacific to the relatively safe puppet Manchukuo.

These prisoners include American, Austrian, British, and Dutch... These prisoners are taken to mines five miles away to work every day and are taken back to the evening.

Therefore, Beidaying was not called Beidaying at this time, but was called "Fengtian Temporary Captive Shelter" by the Japanese army... The word "temporary" is used here because a formal prisoner shelter has been built in Dadong District, Shenyang.

Zhang Chi can understand why the maps drawn by the scouts are still using old names such as "Dongdaying" and "Beidaying"... A considerable number of scouts are from Northeastern people. They know the original names of these places. One is to call them according to their own people's habits, and the other is to express their meaning of not acknowledging the Japanese naming.

However, this will undoubtedly cause some trouble for the subsequent battle: other soldiers who are not familiar with the terrain of the Northeast do not know where the "Dongdaying" and "Beidaying" are. In the field, they cannot find their naming problems, so there may be major problems.

So Zhang Chi said to Wu Yuhang: "Pass the orders, collect intelligence, and make maps, name them according to existing names, and then change the names after taking back these places!"

"yes!"

Staff Liang looked at the map for a while and said, "Master, look... are we going to fight after dawn?"

Zhang Chi knew what Staff Liang meant.

The Japanese allocated their troops to these three places, namely the main city, Dongdaying and Beidaying, in order to enable the three places to form a mutual support trend, especially at night... The squadron was not familiar with the terrain, so it was easy for the Japanese army to exploit loopholes to sneak into the troops to fight infiltration wars.

So waiting for dawn to fight may be a good choice. This not only reduces the possible casualties of the Expeditionary Force, but also allows the Expeditionary Force to have several hours of rest after a long-distance raid of more than ten hours. What's more, the combat effectiveness of the tank at night will also be limited to a certain extent.

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

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

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

Staff Liang couldn't bear it and advised: "Mr., the brothers have been rushing for a day and their bones are almost broken. This..."

"Staff General Liang!" Zhang Chi said helplessly: "You must know... our mission is not just to conquer Shenyang, but also Siping, Changchun, and Jilin behind... If we rest one more night here, it means that the enemy can prepare one more night. At that time, I'm afraid it will be sold with human lives or even the entire plan!"
