After daybreak, the Central and Left Routes, which had rested all night, resumed their offensive.
Along the way, Sun Liren's Third Armored Division was even more reckless all the way to the area of Linjiapu, which was only 30 kilometers away from Shenyang City.
This is where they are really resisted.
Standing in front of them was the 4th Infantry Wing of the 32nd Brigade of the 37th Regiment of the Japanese Army.
Through the binoculars, Sun Liren watched as they built a group of positions on a piece of high ground.
"This group of little devils is not simple, the position they have built is very orderly, and it is a little different from the devils we met before. "
When fighting the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, Sun Liren found that the Japanese army was not very good at defense.
The positions they built still have many shadows of the First World War.
However, this division is different, and the positions they have built are very elaborate ~ and more flexible.
In particular, their firing points, which were very well arranged and were able to effectively - form crossfire.
"Which division is on the other side?"
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. "
"The Fourth Division? Isn't this the Osaka Division?
Didn't you say that this was a merchant group? I don't think it's that simple. "
The officer laughed: "Maybe it's a smoke bomb that the little devil put on us." "
Sun Liren shook his head and smiled: "Just try a few catties and a few taels to know, I see that their position has not yet been perfected, and it seems that it was built urgently."
They weren't quite ready for our arrival. "
Then he said, "Ask for air support, I need their napalm."
At the same time, the artillery was ordered to concentrate its fire to cover the enemy heights, draw out their artillery, and let the air force do the work. "
Sun Liren's favorite thing to do was to concentrate superior firepower to shell enemy fortifications first.
After waiting for the opponent's artillery to show its head, immediately call the air force to kill the opponent's artillery.
However, it is a three-board axe offensive tactic.
Without artillery, there is nothing the little devil can do with them.
"Putting ....."
The divisional artillery regiment began to work.
A salvo of 54105-mm howitzers, 18 155-mm howitzers, 18 240-mm howitzers and 21 Katyusha rocket launchers began.
The overwhelming artillery fire hit the little devils' heads in an instant, so that they couldn't raise their heads at all.
The fortifications they built urgently looked so fragile in the face of super-heavy grenades of 240 mm caliber.
After all, at present, Zhang Xueming is the only one in the world who has assigned a 240 mm caliber super-heavy howitzer to the division level.
Generally speaking, the maximum caliber of artillery at the division level is only 155 mm.
The 240-mm super-heavy guns were basically independent artillery units.
This may also be the artilleryism and lack of firepower phobia in Zhang Xueming's heart, and they all want to stuff it in.
Anyway, it's a reward for signing in, and it doesn't cost anything.
"Yaga, why is the artillery fire of the people of China so fierce. "
The Japanese troops hiding in the anti-artillery holes and tunnels could only wait helplessly for the shelling to end amid the indiscriminate bombardment.
It was not the first time they had experienced such heavy artillery fire.
Yesterday, the artillery fire of the 2nd Infantry Division and the New 1st Division gave them a very profound impression.
"Counterattack, what about our artillery? Aren't they all equipped with new artillery?"
In the midst of the tormented waiting, the new artillery equipped by the 4th Division began to counterattack.
As for their artillery before .... Either it was blown up or it was lost on the way to retreat.
Compared to artillery, they are more desperate for their lives.
After all, if they didn't have to run fast, they would have been left in Yixian like the 39th mixed brigade.
After appreciating the density of yesterday's artillery fire, the artillery of the 4th Division has learned wisely.
The artillery was not arranged in groups, but in a scattered arrangement.
Although there is no way to concentrate firepower, it can greatly increase the survivability of artillery.
But they were wrong, and today their opponent was not the artillery of the 3rd Panzer Division, but a demon from the sky - Stuka.
"Tweet ......"
A terrible screech rang out 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 the first to come into contact with such a fighter.
In their stunned eyes, one after another the bombs landed very accurately in the gun position.
Nearly ten 100-mm howitzers were destroyed in an instant.
Stuka claims to be able to drop aerial bombs into pickle buckets.
This is no joke, a well-trained ace pilot can do it.
Otherwise, Stuka wouldn't have made a big splash in World War II.
20 minutes later, 12 B-29 strategic bombers came over the battlefield.
As napalm fell like flowers scattered towards the goddess, a new round of rocket rain fell again.
The dense explosions and flames covered the Japanese positions on the high ground in an instant.
The higher you stand, the more painful it hurts.
Moreover, this high ground is not high, just a gentle slope with a height of several tens of meters.
When the flames on the battlefield began to extinguish, Sun Liren waved his hand.
"Offense. "
Hundreds of T-34/85 tanks swept towards the Japanese positions like tigers descending from the mountains.
"Baga, the 27th Brigade stayed behind to block the attack, and the rest of the Brigade all retreated to the second line of defense. "
The captain 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 rest of the remnants of the army to retreat.
"Boom ....."
"Dadada....."
Under the cover of tanks, the infantry successfully entered the tunnel and fought the Japanese for this position.
However, under the combination of STG-44 and MG34 machine guns.
The Japanese army was powerless in the tunnel battle.
"Assault, continue to assault, until you can't move.
Just leave the packing group to clean up.
The artillery fire extended to the second line of defense of the Japanese army, and I was bombarded with all my might. "
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 3rd Panzer Division decisively charged at them.
"Retreat, continue to retreat, enter Shenyang. "
Seeing this, the wing commander of the 37th wing also ran very decisively.
And this time it was the independent garrison in charge of this line of defense that was left behind.
This group of Northeast Army is really terrible.
His 37th Wing hadn't played much yet, and the loss was almost halfway there.
There were more than 3,700 people, but now there are about 2,000 left. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The 37th Wing fled all the way, and the 3rd Panzer Division fought all the way.
In the end, it was only 5 kilometers away from the Shenyang city wall, where you can already faintly see the city wall in the distance.
"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?"
Shigeru Honjo looked through the binoculars and could vaguely see the armored group across the plain.
When I saw this huge torrent of steel, the shock in my eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
Now he finally knew why the most elite Kwantung Army was defeated again and again.
can't stop the other party at all, as fragile as paper that can be broken with a stab.
How could such a torrent of steel be able to be stopped by flesh and blood.
As a high-ranking general, you don't just have the spirit of bushido on your mind.
He still knows this clearly.
Itachi Seishiro and Enji Dohi glanced at each other, and their expressions were not much better.
Kenji Tohi 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 confused look in his eyes.
Then he shook his head bitterly, and did not answer him, but turned away from the wall.
His expression said it all.
If he still had some confidence before, he used the city defense of Shenyang and the troops of the second and fourth divisions to block the other side.
Now he didn't have the slightest confidence in his heart.
Siping has fallen into the hands of Zhang Xueming, and it may be difficult for the second division to support it in a short time.
Can a single Fourth Division hold it?
It will definitely not be able to hold it, maybe Shenyang will not last for three days.
Just as he was about to turn the corner, he looked at Honjo Shigeru not far away.
"Your Excellency, Commander, perhaps it's time for us to think about retreating. "
After saying that, he left in style.
Honjo Shigeru shook his body when he heard this.
Although he was very reluctant to admit it.
But with only one Fourth Division and no other reinforcements, it is indeed wishful thinking to hold Shenyang.
But if he retreats like this, is he willing?
Of course not reconciled.
Didn't Zhang Xueming want Shenyang? Then he would give him Shenyang, which had been destroyed by the war.
It is better to be broken than to be complete.
"Abandoning the positions outside the city, all the soldiers were stationed in Shenyang, relying on the city walls for defense.
Recruit expatriates, police, and imperial allies in the city to build fortifications in the city.
At the same time, weapons were issued to the expatriates so that they could live and die with Shenyang. "
When he saw this torrent of armor, Honjo Shigeru decisively gave up all the positions.
Because they have walls and houses to block them, they can weaken the advantage of their chariots.
He planned to fight a street fight with the other party and kill and injure the Northern Army as much as possible.
Anyway, he didn't feel distressed if Shenyang was broken.
After hitting the city wall, Sun Liren did not choose to continue the attack.
Because he also knows that armored units are 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 can't run away.
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 walked more than 80 kilometers after a forced march.
It is still more than 100 kilometers away from Shenyang.
It will take at least a day and a half to reach Shenyang, still under the condition of forced march.
Because they are not the same as the main forces.
Even the new division, which had the weakest armored strength, was a motorized march.
The New First Army could only rely on its legs, and there were only about 100 vehicles equipped in the army.
Zhang Xueming can't help this.
Because he can't produce this thing yet.
However, it does not matter whether the new army can arrive in time or not.
A fourth division, with all the four main divisions, can't it still be taken?
When the time came to about six o'clock, the second division, which had been bombed many times along the way, stopped and stopped, and finally arrived at Siping.
The commander of the Second Division, Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon, gave an order.
The 2nd Division fired artillery in unison and launched an attack on the positions of the 1st Airborne Division.
The night became their best cover.
Jiro Tamon is now frightened by the Air Force's Mustang fighter jets.
In one day, his division reimbursed more than 2,000 people.
This is already half a wing.
Nightnight can avoid being attacked by the Northeast Air Force.
Moreover, the darkness of the night can also weaken their artillery advantage, giving full play to their advantages of being crowded and not afraid of death.
"The Emperor ...... on board"
At the sound of the order, the Japanese troops in Wuyang took a pig-like charge and rushed towards the positions of the three airborne infantry regiments.
On this position, which is more than 10 kilometers long, the mountains and fields ahead are full of Japanese troops who are burying their heads in charge.
The pig-studded tactical charge made them tried and tested repeatedly in the face of the Northeast Army.
"Boom.... Rumble..... Boom ......"
Japanese mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and howitzers fired in unison, bombarding the position.
"Ordered the artillery regiment to launch a counterattack and launch an artillery attack on the Japanese charging group. "
There is nothing to do with the artillery of the little devils on their own side, and there is nothing they can do with them on the other side.
The Airborne Artillery Regiment was armed with a total of 36 M1 75-mm light howitzers weighing only 653 kg.
However, the firing range can reach 9 kilometers and the rate of fire can reach 5 rounds per minute.
The little devils have their infantry guns, and the airborne regiment also has 75mm howitzers here.
