The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

The fierce shelling of two or three hundred cannons was extremely powerful, and the killing effect was also very good. At this time, Siping was full of rumbling explosions.

Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th column, and Liao Yaoxiang, the commander of the independent division, were standing side by side in front of the joint headquarters, holding binoculars, watching the shelling situation of the artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades.

Although they were far apart, the two could still hear the deafening explosions coming from the front, the dense explosions, and the two felt very pleasant to hear.

In the binoculars of the two of them, they could see a little devil's defensive position in the distance, with earth and trees flying everywhere, and gunpowder smoke filled the air. Presumably, the little devil's casualties must have been terrible in that position.

"Old Liao, our heavy artillery is showing its power. This time, it is enough for the little devils." Luo Jihua, the commander of the 4th column, was full of joy, and happily said to Liao Yaoxiang next to him, "Our half-hour bombardment can basically Destroy all the outlying positions of the little devils.”[

Hearing this, Liao Yaoxiang nodded, "Yes! Lao Luo, under our heavy artillery, all the fortifications of the little devil 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 the enemy's rear, so the shells they carried were naturally limited. Half an hour of intensive shelling probably consumed half of all shells.

"Old Liao, you are too petty. Although we don't carry many shells this time, as long as we win Siping, it is completely worthwhile to use our heavy artillery to hit the little devil's vitality to a large extent. The commander-in-chief has always taught We use shells as much as possible to minimize the casualties of soldiers."

Zhang Yunfei has always believed in the idea of ​​cannons. Not only are the columns equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, but he also advocates shelling first before charging on the battlefield.

Zhang Yunfei thinks so.The commanders of the columns below were naturally deeply influenced by Zhang Yunfei, and fought every time.They all shelled first and then charged, although the tactics were simple and unpretentious.However, every time it can receive miraculous effects, under heavy artillery bombardment, few little devils can withstand it.

Liao Yaoxiang joined the No.30 Sixth Army not long ago, just a few months, so naturally he didn't have such a deep understanding like Luo Jihua, but, as time went by, many of Liao Yaoxiang's ideas.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 are still right. As long as we can kill the little devil, we shouldn't feel sorry for the shells. After the shells are finished, we can replenish them. If the soldiers sacrificed, that is Not a small loss, and I will be buried here forever."

heard the words.Luo Jihua nodded, and the two chatted happily while watching the shelling with great interest. After ten minutes of shelling, the shelling began to extend to the depth of the little devil's defensive position, and the extended shelling began.

Shenyang, Kwantung Army Command.

Umezu Yoshijiro, commander of the Kwantung Army of the little devil, has received telegrams from many of the little devil's troops. Umezu Yoshijiro already knows that a large number of troops from the No. 30 Sixth Army have left Jinzhou and are heading for Shenyang.

Umezu Yoshijiro also knew that the No.30 Sixth Army's troops located on the outskirts of Siping had begun attacking the outskirts of Siping since this morning.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this time, the No.30 Sixth Army is dispatched on a large scale, and the target is directed at Shenyang! Our troops in Shenyang are still seriously insufficient, only 10,000+ people, less than half of the No.30 Sixth Army's attacking troops. .”

The little devil's chief of staff looked worried, lamenting that his troops in Shenyang were seriously insufficient.

It was said that Umezu Yoshijiro also had a serious face, and his own troops were at an absolute disadvantage. Umezu Yoshijiro knew it. Now, Umezu Yoshijiro has ordered the Kwantung Army from Changchun and other places to go south to reinforce Shenyang.

In the eyes of Umezu Meijiro, Shenyang must not be lost. Shenyang not only has a large number of factories and a strong industrial foundation, but also Shenyang is the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Once Shenyang falls, not only the morale of the entire Kwantung Army will suffer. A huge blow, and a lot of factories will be lost.

For Shenyang, Umezu Yoshijiro spared no expense. Umezu Yoshijiro has strictly ordered a large number of Kwantung Army stationed in Changchun and its vicinity to go south along the railway and road to reinforce Shenyang.

Umezu Yoshijiro also ordered the puppet Manchukuo to mobilize no less than 20 troops to cooperate with the Kwantung Army to reinforce Shenyang.

For Shenyang, Umezu Yoshijiro mobilized a large number of troops, and nearly half of the Kwantung Army was mobilized. The 30 Kwantung Army and the 20 puppet Manchukuo army will fight a big battle with the No.30 Sixth Army. [

This will be a strategic decisive battle between the Kwantung Army and the No.30 Sixth Army.

The little devil's chief of staff naturally knew Meizu Meijiro's determination, but he was still a little worried and said: "Your Excellency, our reinforcements are heading south, and Siping is our only place to pass, but now Siping has been taken by No. 30 The group army surrounded them."

Hearing this, Umezu Yoshijiro waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The No.30 Sixth Army in Siping has only tens of thousands of people, how can it stop our hundreds of thousands of troops going south, our south going army will crush smash everything in its way, and the tens of thousands of No.30 Sixth Army are the same."

In Umezu Meijiro's eyes, the tens of thousands of troops of the No.30 Sixth Army went deep into their own hinterland, and they were completely alone. In front of his hundreds of thousands of troops going south, they would soon be wiped out.

Umezu Yoshijiro also very much hoped to eliminate this No.30 Sixth Army unit in order to improve the morale of his Kwantung Army.

Just when Umezu Yoshijiro thought that the tens of thousands of No. 30 Sixth Army troops were fat on his chopping board, a little devil's signal soldier walked in anxiously with a telegram.

The little devil stood at attention in front of Umezu Yoshijiro, bent down to salute, "Your Excellency, the 112th Division of Siping is calling."

Seeing that it was a telegram from Siping, Umezu Yoshijiro snatched the telegram, glanced at it hastily, and then flew into a rage. "Baga! A lone army of the No.30 Sixth Army dares to be arrogant, it's dead!"

In the telegram, the 112th Division reported that its outlying positions were bombarded by a large number of heavy artillery from the No. 30 Sixth Group and suffered heavy losses.

Siping is only a small city with less than 10 people. Because of its important strategic location, Yoshijiro Umezu deployed a division of troops. A few days ago, he strictly ordered the 112th Division to build fortifications and stand by for help.

Because it won't be long before a large number of reinforcements from Changchun will go south. In Umezu Yoshijiro's eyes, a division with nearly 2 troops is enough.

Unexpectedly, in Meizu Meijiro's eyes, this No.30 Sixth Army's lone army, deep in its own hinterland, dared to bombard its defenders in Siping on a large scale, so Umezu Meijiro was furious.

Umezu Yoshijiro looked stern, and immediately issued an order: "Order, Shenyang Airport sends planes to destroy all the heavy artillery groups of the No. 30 Sixth Army on the outskirts of Siping."

The little devils moved very quickly. As soon as they received the order, a large number of planes at Shenyang Airport took off one after another. Twenty or thirty bombers, escorted by a fighter squadron, flew towards Siping.

The little devils spent a lot of money this time. All the bombers at Shenyang Airport were sent out, and one of the three fighter squadrons was also sent out.

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

Siping.

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

Three tank regiments in the 4th column and one tank regiment in the independent division launched an attack from four directions in Siping at the same time. A large number of soldiers from the infantry regiment fought with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles in the tank regiment.

A large number of tanks and armored vehicles took the lead, and a large number of soldiers from the infantry regiment followed closely. The soldiers moved very quickly, and soon approached the little devil's forward position.

Outside Siping, the positions with many little devils have been destroyed by intensive shelling. The little devils who stood firm on the positions suffered heavy casualties, and the positions were full of corpses of little devils. [

Siping north.

The same is true for a huge defense position of the little devils. The big pits are full of the little devils' positions. On the position, the trenches built by the little devils almost no longer exist. There are a lot of corpses and scattered weapons. Everywhere.

A captain of the little devil's regiment who was in charge of the defense in the north of the city just got up in disgrace.

"Your Excellency, Captain! Look, the troops of the No.30 Sixth Army have begun to attack."

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

Hearing this, the captain of the little devil looked up and saw that only a few hundred meters away from him, a large number of tanks, and a large number of infantry soldiers of the No.30 Sixth Army, had already come up like a "tide" .

The captain of the little devils looked around his position, only to see that his position was in a mess. The number of living little devils might be less than one-third of what it used to be, and most of them were wounded.

How to fight this way, the captain of the little devil's face was full of despair, "Send a report to the division headquarters in the city, the position in the north of the city has been fatally hit, and now, the troops of the No.30 Sixth Army have come up, and our regiment is desperately resisting .”

After giving the order, the captain of the little devils drew out his command knife and shouted: "Kill it!!!"

At the last moment, the captain of the little devils ordered the surviving little devils to make the last resistance.
