The quality of individual soldiers, to put it bluntly, is the ability to combine people and weapons, including endurance, strength, shooting skills, etc. At the beginning of joining the army, Japanese soldiers must undergo three months of intensive training. There are many training subjects, and long-distance running with weight is almost Every day, and shooting practice.

The soldiers of the first brigade also underwent intensive training, but the soldiers of the Marine Corps made full use of scientific training methods and improved the quality of the soldiers in a short period of time. At this point, the training of the Japanese army pales in comparison.

For example, long-distance running training, in order to reflect the perseverance of the samurai, the Japanese army often only rested for a while before continuing other training after high-intensity running. Improvement helps a lot, so the soldiers of the first brigade pay great attention to relaxation after training during training.

These are not the fatal flaws of the Japanese army. Their fatal flaw is that they have never conducted targeted urban warfare training. To give a simple example, when a person sticks out behind a wall that turns to the right and shoots, Shooting with the left hand can hide most of the body behind the wall, which reduces the possibility of being hit by the enemy, and most people shoot with the right hand, so two-handed shooting training is required, and Japanese soldiers have never done it .There are still many details, such as shooting from behind a broken wall. Many Japanese soldiers shot from the top of the wall without thinking, while the soldiers of the first brigade who had received special training shot from the side of the wall. These details It seems inconspicuous, but these details are small and large on the battlefield. Coupled with the one-way transparency system on the battlefield, almost every disadvantage of the Japanese army is infinitely magnified.

There are two mortars in the combat group of the [-]st Brigade. The mortar has a high shooting angle and a curved trajectory. Strong battlefield reconnaissance capabilities, the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the buildings can be seen almost clearly, often the flapping wing aircraft found the Japanese troops, passed the news to Deng Hong, and Deng Hong passed the news to the commander of the battle group , and then the mortars showed their power, blowing up the Japanese army completely.

The grenades of the soldiers of the first brigade also gave them great help. Many times, when facing a corner, if the soldiers found that there was an enemy behind them, they just risked their lives and leaned forward and shot, just throwing a grenade across.

However, Lin Yuan also found a problem, that is, the advance speed of this style of play is too slow, so he ordered that the first brigade should be mainly responsible for attacking the fortifications. of the Japanese army.

This greatly increased the speed of advancement. At noon, more than half of the western urban area between the inner city and the outer city was controlled by the Qing army, and the Xiaonanmen was also within easy reach. As the first brigade continued to advance south, a group of Shells exploded in front of them.

The shock wave completely lifted a wall, and the gravel rained down on the soldiers of the first brigade. They did not have helmets. Several soldiers were hit on the head by the gravel and passed out. The reason why they did not have helmets was not Lin Yuan didn't expect it, but Tianjin Machinery Bureau lacked the ability to manufacture steel helmets. Don't underestimate steel helmets. It is relatively difficult to make steel into a hemispherical shape. Create a helmet.

The Japanese army had a total of [-] artillery pieces in Shenyang, of which [-] pieces were deployed in the outer city. Unfortunately, they had already fallen into the hands of the Qing army. There were still [-] artillery pieces deployed in the inner city. They did not intend to engage in street fighting, but unfortunately, the battle was overwhelmed. For this sake, there is no need for it.The artillery of the Japanese army is all cannons. The ballistic of the cannons is relatively straight. It is a standard direct-firing weapon. In street fighting, it is easy to be blocked by buildings and it is difficult to exert firepower. The Japanese army used it, which can be regarded as emergency treatment. In fact, cannons There is no strict distinction between the cannon and the howitzer. If the elevation angle of the cannon is increased and the propellant charge of the shell is reduced, the cannon can also be used as a howitzer. This is how the so-called cannon howitzer came about. Unfortunately, the shells used by the Japanese army are all It is a fixed charge, and the amount of propellant cannot be changed.

The artillery of the Japanese army hit the first brigade by surprise, and when the first brigade recovered, the artillery could no longer be arrogant. The first brigade hid behind the wall, and the Japanese army could not see them, and then they fired there , The shells crossed the wall and landed on the top of the Japanese artillery.

With the increase of rubble, the power of the Japanese artillery has also been severely discounted, because the rubble will affect the trigger fuze of the shells. When the shells fall on the rubble pile, a quarter of the shells may don't explode.As the artillery of the Japanese army was wiped out one by one, the confidence of the Japanese army to resist was also exhausted bit by bit. When it was dark, the Japanese army could not even defend the Great South Gate. With the Great South Gate as the boundary, The western urban area between the outer city and the inner city has been completely occupied by the Qing army.

Dashanyan, the commander of the Japanese army, looked at the sand table in front of him expressionlessly in the headquarters of the underground fortification. The sand table represented the urban area of ​​Fengtian, and the small red flag on it represented the place of the Japanese army, and the yellow flag represented the area occupied by the Qing army. For a day, Da Shanyan watched helplessly as the combat staff pulled out the red flags one by one and replaced them with yellow ones.

Dashan Yanxin thought: "Why is the attack speed of the Qing army so fast! It seems that the defenders of Liaoyang should have arrived soon!"

So Dashanyan ordered that the defenders in Liaoyang quickly cross the Shahe River, capture Zhangyi Station, and surround Linyuan from the side and rear in one fell swoop; the Japanese Army and Marine Corps located in Lushun, Dalian, with the assistance of the Navy, crossed the Bohai Sea by boat , Landed at the mouth of the Liaohe River, went up the Liaohe River, captured the railway line, and cut off Linyuan's connection with Jinzhou and Shanhaiguan.

The two troops of the Japanese army are like two big locks. If they move to the designated position, they will completely lock Lin Yuan up!

Lin Yuan was well aware of the Japanese army's mobilization. He ordered Liu Kunyi and Wu Dacheng, who were already in the south of Fengtian, to defend at Wujingying, Ciyutuobao, and Changshatun. These three places formed a triangle, respectively. Located on both sides of the Hun River, the Japanese army had to cross the Hun River after crossing the Sha River to reach the rear of Lin Yuan.

From Shahe to Hunhe, there are no high mountains to rely on for defense, so the focus of the two sides' competition has become a competition for the communication line.

In wars, most of the time, the purpose of a battle is to compete for lines of communication, because roads and railways are channels for transporting troops and supplies. You can let a small unit march in the field, but you cannot let a large army or transport food and grass The vehicles of ammunition also take the field roads, because that is too slow, and by the time you reach the battlefield, the war may be over.

The road is repaired for people to walk, so the place where the road is built is the place where the villages and towns are concentrated. From Liaoyang to Zhangyi Station, there are three roads, which happen to be between the three villages and towns stationed by the Qing army, so fierce battles will be inevitable. Avoidance started in three villages and towns.

After thinking about it again and again, Lin Yuan contacted Fade Chen and asked, "What have you been doing lately?"

Fade Chen said: "I have never found an opportunity to sneak attack on the Japanese army's transport team, so I have been looking for opportunities."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance."
