Chapter 512 Inner City
The puppet troops in Chenyang City quickly collapsed under the offensive of the squadron's "demonstration" (referring to artillery group bombing) and "reasoning" (referring to propaganda offensives).
In fact, this is due to the Japanese army...
At the beginning, there was only a little riot in Chenyang City and a few sporadic gunshots. When encountering this situation... normal people know that comforting means should be used.
It's like the puppet army standing in the middle, with one squadron on one side and the other squadron. When the squadron wins over the puppet army, the Japanese army should win over the puppet army.
But the Japanese have always acted as a domineering man on the Chinese people and the puppet army. Or it can be said that the Japanese have a stubborn head and will not change. So they still habitually raised their rifles and bayonets to those puppet army with dissenting intentions, and shouted: "Damn it, die..."
If this move is effective in normal times, most of the puppet troops are timid and dare not fight against the Japanese army head-on. Moreover, there are more Japanese troops behind the Japanese army. Everyone knows the truth that the arm cannot force their thighs. But now when is it now? The Japanese are about to die and pretend to be an old man. Who are you fucking?!
It was like stabbing a hornet's nest. The puppet troops stationed in the outer city rose up one after another. The Japanese officers who were arranged to control the puppet army were killed by the puppet army on the spot and cut off their heads to show their sincerity to the Chinese troops. Some even launched an attack on the inner city... The puppet army hoped to take the inner city and seek credit from the Chinese troops.
The Chinese troops were not in a hurry to attack... At this time, the city of Chenyang was already in chaos, with gunfire, cannons and explosions everywhere, and the people and puppet troops continued to escape from the city. If the squadrons got involved at this time, although Chenyang could be liberated quickly, it is conceivable that it would significantly increase the casualties of the people. It is even difficult to distinguish which puppet troops were to surrender and which puppet troops wanted to resist to the end, so it would become a chaotic war.
So the Chinese troops were stationed firmly outside the city, and were responsible for accepting the people who escaped from the city and receiving the puppet troops who came to surrender.
The situation lasted for several hours, and it slowly eased until the sky was about to brighten. At this time, Chenyang City was already full of flames and smoke.
"How many people are there in the city?" Zhang Chi asked a puppet army who had just escaped from the city.
"Report to the sir!" The puppet army replied: "All of them escaped, and most of the rest were injured in chaos and could not escape. The outer city can be said to be an empty city!"
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded, which was exactly what Zhang Chi wanted.
At this time, a golden light flashed in the east, and the long-lost sun finally rose from the horizon. Zhang Chi waved his hand and the communication soldiers who had already prepared immediately issued an order to the microphone: "Attack! Repeat, attack!"
As soon as the tank driver stepped on the accelerator, dozens of "Sheerman" tanks were divided into four directions to compress towards the Shenyang City surrounded like an iron barrel. Behind them, teams of infantrymen holding m1 rifles in their hands and murderous faces. The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly took a turn, from the previous chaos to neat and solemn.
The people who had already left the city and the surrendered puppet troops looked at this scene and were secretly glad that they had made the right choice. Otherwise, they would be afraid that they would be beaten away with these killing machines if they were fighting against them.
It is easy to take down the outer city... The outer wall tank, which was only half a meter thick, collapsed with a slight impact. It was just like the surrendered puppet army said that it was an empty city.
Of course, there were some injured puppet troops and the people hiding in the corners. The soldiers, in line with the principle of not accidentally hurting their own people, divided a team of soldiers and cars to take them out as quickly as possible.
But this situation becomes more and more difficult as the front moves forward.
The reason was that Yamashita Fumiya saw the scene of a squadron rescuing the people in a telescope. In order to make the final dying struggle, he immediately ordered the Japanese soldiers to change into the people's clothes and sneak into the houses in the outer city with explosives bags to prepare for bombing the tanks.
But Yamashita Fumiyon thought it simple...
The Chinese Expeditionary Force is a unit that has been fighting from Myanmar. When they are in Myanmar, they often encounter situations where the Japanese disguised themselves as Myanmar people and even Myanmar militants are unfavorable to the Chinese troops. So they know how to protect themselves. They will not allow anyone even dressed in the people to approach the tank before confirming safety.
As a result, the Japanese soldiers disguised as common people fell under the guns of the Expeditionary Army soldiers halfway through.
Half an hour later, the Expeditionary Force attacked the walls of the inner city... A large part of this half hour was used to search for houses in the outer city. After searching for no one, they would burst them one by one. The particularly strong and strategic buildings were sent to garrison.
This is the most basic measure to ensure that the rear of the expeditionary force is not attacked by the enemy.
Then the attacking troops took ten minutes to rectify, and then ten thousand artillery fired together... Tank guns, mortars, howitzers, one shot after another, bombs and fighters who came to assist the war were also mounted into the battle group, and continued to dive and poured bombs and artillery shells onto the city walls where the Japanese army was stationed.
The squadron's firepower advantage has completely offset the Japanese army's geographical advantage, and it can even be said that the so-called "geographic advantage" of the Japanese army is no longer an advantage...
Although the city walls during the cold weapon era were condescending and tanks were insurmountable, infantrymen seemed to be a good protection.
However, the Japanese army stationed on the city walls also had no protection. The arrows used to prevent cold weapons were OK, but the artillery was a bit bad... Tank guns, howitzers and others were bombarded, and the entire arrows were broken like flour, and the broken gravel would scatter around like shrapnel, killing the Japanese army on the city walls, and the mortars directly hit the shells into the city walls and exploded them.
Once the arrow bush was destroyed, the Japanese army located on the city wall was completely placed on the rifle like a target, and there was nowhere to hide under the firepower of the machine gun.
This is also the reason why modern wars no longer build city walls. Even if they build city walls, they are built underground. For example, the "Magino Line of Defense" that is known as the world's most powerful "Magino Line of Defense" is mostly underground fortifications.
As for city walls like Shenyang on the ground, it is actually a matter of how many shells are consumed... No matter how thick the city wall is, one shot after another will always collapse.
