Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

After daybreak, the Central and Left Route Army, which had rested for a while, resumed the offensive.

Along the way, Sun Liren's Third Armored Division made its way to the area of Linjiabao, only 30 kilometers from Shenyang City.

This is where they are really blocked.

In front of them was the 4th Infantry Wing of the 32nd Brigade of the Japanese 37th Regiment.

Through the telescope, the Sun Li people looked at the group of positions they were building on a high ground.

"This group of little devils is not simple, the position they build is very methodical, and it is a little different from the ghosts we encountered before."

During the confrontation with the Japanese 12th Division, Sun Kasa discovered that the Japanese were not very good at defense.

The positions they built also had many shadows from the First World War.

However, this division is different, and the positions they build are very careful ~ elaborate and more flexible.

In particular, their firing points, very well arranged, were able to effectively - form crossfire.

"Which division is opposite?"

Sun Liren asked with some curiosity.

An intelligence officer immediately replied: "According to the information we have heard, it is the 4th Regiment of the Japanese Army." "

"Fourth Division? Isn't this that Osaka division? Interesting.

Doesn't it mean that this is a group of traders? I don't think it's that simple. "

The officer laughed and said, "Maybe this is the smoke bomb that the little devil put on us." "

Sun Liren shook his head and smiled: "A few pounds and a few taels will be known after a try, I see that their position has not yet been perfected, and it seems that it was also urgently built."

They are not quite ready for our arrival. "

Then he said: "Ask for air support, I need their napalm."

At the same time, artillery was ordered to concentrate fire on covering enemy heights, bring their artillery out, and let the air force work. "

The favorite thing for the Sun Li people to do was to first concentrate superior firepower to shell the enemy's fortifications.

After waiting for the opponent's artillery to appear, immediately call the air force to kill the opponent's artillery.

However, it is the three-board axe offensive tactic.

Without artillery, there is nothing the little devil can do with them.

"Put....."

The divisional artillery regiment began to work.

A salvo of 54105 mm howitzers, 18 155 mm howitzers, 18 240 mm howitzers, as well as 21 Katyusha rocket launchers began.

The overwhelming artillery fire hit the little devil's head in an instant, so that they couldn't raise their heads at all.

Their urgently built fortifications looked so fragile in the face of super-heavy grenades of 240 mm caliber.

After all, Zhang Xueming is the only one in the world who currently attaches a 240 mm caliber super-heavy howitzer to the division level.

Generally speaking, the maximum caliber of divisional artillery is only 155 mm.

The 240 mm super-heavy guns were basically independent artillery units.

This may also be Zhang Xueming's fear of artillery and insufficient firepower, and they all want to stuff it in.

Anyway, the rewards obtained by checking in do not cost anything.

"Baga, why are the cannons of the Shina people so fierce."

The Japanese troops hiding in the anti-gun holes and tunnels could only wait helplessly for the shelling to end in the indiscriminate bombardment.

This is not the first time they have experienced such heavy artillery fire.

Yesterday, the artillery fire of the Second and New First Divisions gave them a very profound image.

"Fight back, what about our artillery? Aren't they all equipped with new artillery? "

In the midst of an ordeal , the 4th Division began a counterattack with new artillery armed.

As for their artillery before .... Either it was blown up or lost in the retreat.

Compared to artillery, they are more desperate.

After all, if it is necessary not to run fast, they will be left in Yixian like the 39 mixed brigade.

After appreciating yesterday's density of artillery fire, the artillery of the 4th Division was smarter.

There was no choice to arrange the artillery in a bunch, but to disperse it.

Although there was no way to concentrate firepower, it was able to greatly improve the survivability of the gun.

But they thought wrong, today their opponent is not the artillery of the 3rd Panzer Division, but the demon from the sky - Stuka.

"Tweet tweet..."

A mournful scream sounded in the sky.

After hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but look up.

Stuka dive bombers swooped down from the clouds.

The 4th Regiment was also exposed to such aircraft for the first time.

In their astonished eyes, one bomb after another fell into the gun position very accurately.

Almost ten 100-mm howitzers were destroyed all of a sudden.

Stuka claims to be able to drop aerial bombs into pickle barrels.

This is no joke, trained ace pilots can do it.

Otherwise, Stuka would not have shined in World War II.

After 20 minutes, 12 B-29 strategic bombers arrived over the battlefield.

As napalm fell like a flower towards the goddess, a new round of rocket rain fell again.

Dense explosions and flames instantly covered the Japanese positions on the high ground.

The higher you stand, the more painful it is to be beaten.

Moreover, this highland is not high, just a gentle slope with a height of tens of meters.

When the flames on the position began to extinguish, Sun Liren waved his hand.

"Attack."

Hundreds of T-34/85 tanks swept towards the Japanese positions like tigers descending the mountain.

"Baga, the 27th Group left to block, and the rest of the brigade all retreated to the second line of defense."

The commander of the 37th Wing was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.

This torrent of steel is by no means something they can stop.

So he decisively left a brigade as an outcast, and led the other remnants to retreat.

"Boom....."

"Tap-da-da....."

Under the cover of tanks, the infantry successfully entered the tunnel and competed with the Japanese for this position.

However, it is a combination of STG-44 and MG34 machine guns.

The Japanese army was simply powerless to fight back in the tunnel battle.

"Assault, continue to assault, fight until you can't move.

Just leave the loading regiment to pack up.

The artillery fire extended to the second line of Japanese defense, and I was bombarded. "

After seeing the breakthrough of the first line of defense, Sun Liren struck while the iron was hot and commanded the troops to continue to assault forward.

The 37th Wing, which had just entered the second line of defense, came under heavy shelling.

In less than ten minutes, hundreds of tanks of the Third Armoured Division decisively charged at them.

"Retreat, continue to retreat, enter Shenyang."

Seeing this, the commander of the 37th Wing also ran very decisively.

This time it was the independent garrison brigade in charge of this line of defense that was left behind.

This group of Northeast Army is really terrible.

His 37th Wing hadn't fought much , and the losses were almost halfway.

There were originally more than 3,700 people, but now there are about 2,000 left. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The 37th fled all the way, and the 3rd Panzer Division fought all the way.

Finally, it hit only 5 kilometers away from the Shenyang city wall, where you can already faintly see the distant city wall.

"Is this Shenyang City?"

Looking at the city wall in the distance, Sun Liren's eyes were a little confused.

"Is this Zhang Xueming's Northeast Army?"

Honjo looked through the telescope and could vaguely see the armored group across the plain.

When he saw this huge torrent of steel, the shock in his eyes could not be hidden.

Now he finally knew why the most elite Kwantung Army was actually defeated again and again.

It can't stop the other party at all, as fragile as a piece of paper that breaks with a stab.

How could such a torrent of steel be blocked by flesh and blood.

As a high-ranking general, there is not only a bushido spirit in my mind.

He still clearly distinguishes this.

Itachi Seishiro and Doi Enji looked at each other, and their expressions were no better.

Kenji Doi looked at Ishihara Wan'er, who was standing quietly on the side.

"Ishihara-kun, what do you think of this Northeast Army?"

Ishihara looked at him with a somewhat confused look.

Then he shook his head bitterly and did not answer him, but turned and left the city wall.

His expression speaks for itself.

If he had some confidence before, he would have used Shenyang's city defense and the strength of the second and fourth divisions to block the other side.

Now he doesn't have the slightest confidence in his heart.

Siping has already fallen into Zhang Xueming's hands, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for the second division to support it in a short time.

Can a fourth division alone hold it?

It will definitely not be able to hold on, maybe Shenyang will not last for three days.

When he was about to come to the corner, he looked at Honjo Fan not far away.

"Your Excellency Commander, perhaps we should consider a way back."

After saying that, he left dashingly.

Honjo Fan's body shook when he heard this.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it.

But with just one fourth division and no other reinforcements, it was indeed wishful thinking to hold Shenyang.

But if he retreats like this, is he willing?

Of course not reluctantly.

Didn't Zhang Xueming want Shenyang? Then he gave him Shenyang, which was destroyed by the fires of war.

It is better to be jade broken, not to be complete.

"Abandoning the positions outside the city, all the soldiers entered Shenyang and relied on the city wall for defense.

Recruit the city's diaspora, police, and imperial allies to build fortifications in the city.

At the same time, weapons were issued to the diaspora so that they could die together with Shenyang. "

When he saw this torrent of armor, Honjo decisively gave up becoming all positions.

Because of the walls and houses, they can weaken the advantage of their chariots.

He planned to fight a street battle with the other party to kill and injure the Northern Army as much as possible.

Anyway, Shenyang beat him and he was not distressed.

After hitting under the city wall, the Sun Li people did not choose to continue the attack.

Because he also knew that armored forces were not street fighting.

So he chose to wait for the arrival of other troops.

Anyway, the current Fourth Division has become a turtle in an urn and cannot escape.

After waiting for about half a day, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division also arrived in the southern suburbs of Shenyang and successfully joined Sun Liren.

The three main forces of the new First Army were much slower.

By dusk, they had only covered more than 80 kilometers by force.

It is still more than 100 kilometers away from Shenyang.

It will take at least a day and a half or so to reach Shenyang, still under forced marches.

Because they are not the same as the main forces.

Even the new divisions with the weakest armor were motorized marches.

The new First Army can only rely on its legs, and the army is equipped with only about 100 vehicles.

Zhang Xueming has no way to do this.

Because of the car, he can't produce it yet.

However, it does not matter whether the new First Army can arrive in time.

A fourth division, gathering the four main divisions, can it still be taken?

When the time came around six o'clock, the Second Division, which did not know how many times it had been bombed along the way, stopped and finally reached Siping.

The commander of the 2nd Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Domon, gave an order.

The Second Division fired a volley of artillery and launched an attack on the positions of the First Airborne Division.

Night became their best cover.

Tamonjiro is now terrified by the Air Force's Mustang fighters.

In one day, his division reimbursed more than 2,000 people.

This is already half a wing of troops.

Night sleep can avoid attacks by the Northeast Air Force.

And the darkness of night can also weaken their artillery superiority, giving full play to their advantages of being a sea of people and not afraid of death.

"The Emperor is onboard..."

At the sound of the order, the Japanese troops took a pig rush charge and rushed towards the positions of the three airborne infantry regiments.

On this position, which was more than ten kilometers long, the mountains ahead were full of Japanese troops who were charging with their heads down.

The pig-style tactical charge made them unhappy when facing the Northeast Army.

"Boom.... Rumble..... Boom..."

Japanese mountain artillery, infantry artillery, howitzers fired in unison, bombarding the positions.

"Order the artillery regiment to launch a counterattack and launch an artillery attack on the Japanese charging group."

There is nothing they can do with the little devil's artillery on their side, and the other side also has nothing to do with them.

The Airborne Artillery Regiment was armed with 36 M1 75mm light howitzers weighing only 653 kg.

But the range can reach 9 km, and the rate of fire can reach 5 rounds per minute.

The imps have their infantry guns, and the Airborne Regiment also has 75mm howitzers on the side.
