Chapter 1698 Contradictions

Fengtian was finally taken by the puppet army and the people.

To be precise, it was won under the pressure exerted by Wang Xuexin and the premise of attracting the attention of the devils.

The Eighth Route Army's attack on Fengtian has always been on the periphery, that is, attacking the devil's defense line outside Fengtian, at most hitting the foot of the city wall.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army had the ability to blast open the city wall and enter Fengtian to directly fight the devils, but Wang Xuexin did not do so.

What if we blow up the city wall and enter Fengtian?

Street fighting with devils?
What if the devils use the common people as a cover?
How many civilian casualties will it cause in the end?
These are what Wang Xuexin needs to consider.

After much deliberation, Wang Xuexin decided to keep the intensity of the battle at a certain level:

Don't beat them too hard. If you beat them hard, the devils will extend their butcher knives to the people. In addition, they will blow up two arsenals. This is also a loss to the Eighth Route Army.

On the other hand, there cannot be no pressure at all. Without pressure, the devils will be free to deal with the common people.

It is best to control the intensity of the attack between what the devil can hold and cannot hold.

Sometimes, the devils feel that the Eighth Route Army's offensive cannot continue, but they can hold it.

Sometimes it is necessary to make the devils nervous for a while, making them feel unable to hold on.

Only in this way, the devils will concentrate their forces on the city walls and outer defense lines to fight the Eighth Route Army instead of completely giving up fighting the Eighth Route Army or even making preparations for street fighting with the Eighth Route Army.

But this is easier said than done.

Li Changfu complained: "Leader, tell me whether to fight or not to fight? This fight and not fight, it confuses me!"

"Let's put it this way!" Wang Xuexin replied: "When you see that you are going to hit the devil, take it easy, and if you think the devil is relaxed, hit it again. It's just like playing hide-and-seek with the devil!"

In this way, Li Changfu understood, so he hit the outside every once in a while.

At the beginning, Li Changfu didn't understand Wang Xuexin's style of play. He also said to the political commissar, "Isn't the commander's way of fighting to give the devils time to prepare? Do you still want to take back the arsenal?"

Li Changfu's worry was reasonable. According to ordinary people's thinking, the devils should suddenly attack the city without preparation, and capture the arsenal before the devils reacted. Only in this way can the arsenal be taken back completely.

Now that the fight is so unhurried, the devils are ready to bury even the explosives, right?

However, Li Changfu simply looked at the problem from the perspective of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Xuexin believed that the Eighth Route Army had been besieging the city for more than a month, and if the devils had already finished their preparations, they would not have waited until now.

Therefore, any surprise attack now has lagged behind and will not have any good results.

Now that it has lagged behind, then simply wait and let its internal chaos.

What's more, the devils may not be ready to explode in the arsenal or warehouse!
Wang Xuexin's guess was right, Sasaki Shizue was actually in a dilemma at this time.

Sasaki Jingjiang also wanted to prepare for self-explosion in the arsenal and ammunition depot, because once Fengtian City was broken, these things might fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, which is definitely not a good thing.

However, would Sasaki Shizue dare to do this?

For example, lay explosives in the ammunition depot and prepare for detonation!

Doing so will indeed make it impossible for the Eighth Route Army to obtain ammunition and arms in the end.

However, the imperial army also needs these ammunition and ammunition to block the Eighth Route Army... What if the imperial army might block the Eighth Route Army, but the internal puppet army and the people use the deployment of the imperial army to detonate the ammunition depot inside?
Is Fengtian, who was able to keep it, completely over?

There is also the equipment of the arsenal. Those are not only the lifeblood of the Fengtian garrison, but also the main source of weapons and equipment for the Kwantung Army. If this is blown up, not only Fengtian will finish the Kwantung Army, but also will fall into the dilemma of insufficient ammunition and equipment.

If Fengtian was able to hold on but he blew up the arsenal, would he end up being a sinner of the empire?
Therefore, Sasaki Shizue didn't even dare to install explosives.

Because just like the ammunition depot, he worried that the arsenal would be ignited by the internal "rebellious" puppet army after the explosives were loaded.

What Shizue Sasaki can do is to deploy a group of "final battle teams" outside two arsenals, three ammunition depots, and five supply warehouses.

These so-called "final battle teams" prepared explosives, gasoline, etc., and when they received a call from Sasaki Shizue at the last moment, they immediately entered the arsenal, ammunition depot, and material warehouse to blow up and burn them.

Objectively speaking, such an arrangement is reasonable. It can ensure the safety of arsenals and ammunition depots and blow them up at critical moments.

However, this also gave the puppet army and the uprising civilians the time and space to safely capture these units.

Wang Xuexin ordered the Eighth Route Army to attack outside the city in a leisurely manner, in fact, he grasped the ambivalence of the characters in Fengtian City:
Devils are contradictory.

Can you keep it or can't you?

To fry or not to fry?
They have been wavering among them unable to choose.

The puppet army is contradictory.

The Eighth Route Army wins or the Devils win?
Reverse or not?
As long as the chess misses one move, the whole army will be wiped out!

The people are also contradictory.

To raise troops or not to fight?
Is the time ripe?

As long as you take one wrong step, you will bring yourself a disaster of death!
The attack on Fengtian City commanded by Wang Xuexin is not actually targeting Fengtian City, but the hearts of the people.

Amidst bursts of gunfire and dense gunfire, the devils ran around the city to increase their defenses. It seemed that there was no difference from before.

Finally, after the artillery shells of the Eighth Route Army blasted a group of devil artillery in the city into the sky, the puppet army and the people in Fengtian City took advantage of the fire to raise their troops.

They took down the devil's so-called "end-of-war troops" immediately... This was done under the organization of the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise they would not be able to achieve such a consistent time by raising troops on their own.

This was a battle initiated from within, and the devil's "final battle force" had not received the order to blow up the arsenal and ammunition depot, so they did not take any action until the last moment.

In fact, Sasaki Shizue was still uncertain at this time, because he didn't know the scale of the "rebellion" in the city, and he didn't know whether the imperial army could suppress this "rebellion".

Therefore, he still did not dare to easily order the detonation of those key units.

This is the brilliance of Wang Xuexin...

At this time, if the Eighth Route Army rushed into Fengtian City and pointed their soldiers at the devil's arsenal and ammunition depot, the devil would not hesitate and would definitely detonate it.

But now, because there are many uncertain "possibles", the devil has unknowingly lost the opportunity to detonate...
