Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Boomboom" The sudden explosion shocked the entire Shenyang City.

    The commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Hideki Tojo, ran out of the bedroom with a look of horror on his face, and saw most of the staff members in the headquarters courtyard running out in panic.

    "Kimura-kun, where are the artillery pieces going?" Tojo Hideki asked loudly when he saw Chief of Staff Kimura Hyoutarou.

    "Your Excellency, General, we don't know yet." Kimura Hyoutarou walked quickly with a summons on his face.

    "Call the city defense team immediately and ask what happened." Tojo Hideki said.

    At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly ran out of the communications room with a panicked expression.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, what's bad, a large number of Chinese troops suddenly appeared outside the city. They are conducting fierce shelling on our city defense forces."

    "Nani? Where are the Chinese troops coming from? Jinzhou's 200,000 imperial army's defense line is as solid as a mountain, are they unable to fly?" Tojo Hideki's face changed drastically when he heard this.

    "This" The communications staff officer obviously didn't know how to answer.

    "Order the city defense to prepare all troops, resist with all your strength, and find a way to find out the enemy's strength outside the city." Tojo Hideki ordered angrily.

    "Hai!" the communications staff officer responded with his head suddenly lowered, then turned around and walked quickly towards the communications room.

    Tojo Hideki and Kimura Hyoutarou walked into the combat conference room together.

    "Kimura-kun, what do you think about this matter?" Tojo Hideki asked as he entered the door.

    "My humble guess is that this may be a partial division of the China Army. The purpose should be to attack Shenyang, thereby forcing the imperial army to mobilize reinforcements from Jinzhou. Then take the opportunity to break through the Jinzhou defense line." Kimura Hy身taro analyzed.

    "Well, that makes sense." Tojo Hideki nodded.  Said: "However, judging from the artillery fire of the Chinese, they are quite powerful. If we don't send troops back from Jinzhou for reinforcements, the situation may be very bad."

    "General, considering your humble position, you should immediately mobilize the imperial army from Siping, Changchun and other places. Quickly take the train south to reinforce Shenyang. In this way, the siege of Shenyang will be relieved." Kimura Hyoutarou said.

    "However, if Siping is like this, the defense forces of Changchun and other places will become weaker." Tojo Hideki hesitated.

    "Your Majesty General, as long as we can keep Shenyang and ensure the existence of the Manchuria Arsenal, our Jinzhou defense line will not have any worries. If we persist for a month, our reinforcements will continue to arrive. By then, the imperial army will be able to attack  The Chinese have launched a counterattack," Hyoutaro Kimura said.

    Tojo Hideki pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "That's it, notify Siping immediately. The imperial army from Benxi, Changchun and other places immediately mobilized two-thirds of their troops and rushed to Shenyang's aid."

    "Hai!" Kimura Hyoutarou suddenly lowered his head and responded, then strode out of the combat conference room.

    ??########

    On top of Shenyang*s South Gate, a large number of Japanese troops caught off guard let out horrifying howls in the light of the fire.  Some people were blown away and fell from the top of the city.

    The strong and thick city wall was left scarred and devastated by the violent explosion.

    As the artillery fire gradually stopped.  The officers and soldiers of the Armored Infantry Regiment, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately launched a charge towards Shenyang City at Zhao Ze's order.

    A group of Tiger and Panther tanks charged forward, followed by soldiers of the armored infantry regiment.

    The rocket soldiers aimed their guns directly at the city gate.

    The surviving Japanese soldiers on the top of the city quickly opened fire to block the attack, and bullets rained down for a while.

    The dense bullets hit the heavy armor of the tanks and chariots, bursting out a series of sparks in the dark night.

    The tank guns kept firing, and balls of fire wrapped in the shells launched the most violent counterattack against the Japanese army.

    With the cover of tanks, combat vehicles and the main force of infantry, the rocket soldiers were able to quickly approach the city gate and fire one after another.

    Rockets, dragging their hot and dazzling tail flames, roared towards the city gate and exploded instantly.

    The scarlet dazzling fire instantly enveloped the entire city gate. Under the huge shock wave, the giant wooden city gate instantly fell apart and was blown to pieces.

    Because Shenyang was regarded as the rear area by the Japanese army, the city gate was not blocked like Shanhaiguan.

    Hundreds of infantrymen suddenly shouted like a tide and poured into the city along the city gate.

    The Japanese garrison in the city was caught off guard and hurriedly organized a counterattack in an attempt to drive the Qiao Army out of the city.

    But the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides is not that big. The Japs armed with 38 rifles are no match for the Qiao Army soldiers armed with MP44 assault rifles.

    Even their light machine guns with crutches cannot be compared with MP44 assault rifles.The ferocious firepower of an assault rifle was enough to seal off half of the Japs squad.

    And the Qiao Army that broke into the city was equipped with a large number of mg42 general-purpose machine guns. The terrifying rate of fire and power of the mg42 general-purpose machine guns provided the infantry with almost never-ending and uninterrupted super fire cover.

    It can completely make up for the gap time of changing the magazine of the assault rifle.

    You can imagine how terrifying the power of hundreds of MP44 assault rifles and dozens of mg42 general-purpose machine guns firing at the same time is.

    The bullets were pouring towards the Japanese troops in an almost fan-shaped pattern. Wherever they hit, the Japanese soldiers fell in pieces like cut wheat.

    The dense rain of bullets even scattered debris from the buildings around them.

    With almost no effort, Zhao Ze*s armored infantry regiment invaded Shenyang City from the south gate. Tanks and armored vehicles also entered the city immediately, helping the infantry to continue to expand their results and advance towards the center of the city.

    The Japanese military headquarters in the city.

    Listening to the sound of gunfire, explosions and shouts of death coming from the distance, Tojo Hideki was pacing back and forth in the conference room impatiently.

    Kimura Hy身taro walked in quickly at this time and said anxiously: "Your Majesty General, it's not good, the south gate was broken through by the Chinese army, and they have already entered the city."

    "What?" Tojo Hideki was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Order the garrison to drive out the damned Chinese people no matter what, and never let them attack."

    "Your Excellency General, this China army is well-equipped, has extremely powerful firepower, and is covered by tanks and armored combat vehicles. Our garrison is no match for them at all. They are currently expanding their occupation area, and all parts of the imperial army are resisting desperately. The situation is extremely serious.  It's critical, General, you'd better evacuate Shenyang as soon as possible." Hy身taro Kimura advised.

    "Abandon Shenyang? What about the 200,000 imperial troops in Jinzhou?" Tojo Hideki felt a chill coming over him. He could not imagine that Shenyang would be captured by Qiao's army.

    What kind of desperate situation would the 200,000 Japanese troops in Jinzhou, whose retreat was cut off, be in? Tojo Hideki simply did not dare to imagine the consequences.

    "Your Majesty General, this is also a helpless move. The Chinese have a saying that if you keep the green hills, you will not have to worry about running out of firewood. Now that Shenyang is in urgent need, there is no need to hold on to the Jinzhou defense line. We can only abandon the vehicle to protect the commander, and at the same time order  General Yoshio Shinozuka tried his best to withdraw the troops from Jinzhou as smoothly as possible in order to fight again." Kimura Hyoutarou said.

    "Can you hold on until Shinozuka Yoshio's Jinzhou reinforcements arrive?" Tojo Hideki said unwillingly.

    Kimura Hy身taro shook his head in pain and said: "Your Excellency General, the Chinese army outside the city is very powerful. In less than an hour, they invaded the city. Moreover, we were not prepared in advance, and the garrison was defeated.  If we are caught off guard, there is no way we can hold on until Jinzhou*s reinforcements move north.§

    "Do we have to give up?" Tojo Hideki's face turned pale. After a long time, he said in a cold voice with murderous intent in his eyes: "Kimura-kun, give me my order and you can blow up the Manchuria Arsenal and its affiliated industrial arsenals.  Not even a single machine is left to the Chinese."

    "Blow up all the factories? What about the large number of our technical personnel in the factories?" Kimura Hyoutarou looked at Tojo Hideki in surprise.

    "Order them to evacuate to Changchun immediately. If it is too late to evacuate, they will commit suicide on the spot to serve His Majesty the Emperor and must not be captured by the China Army." Tojo Hideki said solemnly.

    "Hai." Kimura Hy身taro suddenly lowered his head, turned around and left in large strides.

    ??########

    After Tojo Hideki decided to abandon Shenyang, he immediately evacuated hastily with his guards. However, when he and his guards had just left the city from the west gate, they were about to escape Shenyang by train.

    A Qiao Army armored force suddenly appeared and immediately launched an attack on them.

    After a melee, Tojo Hideki's guards suffered heavy casualties, but Tojo Hideki himself was lucky enough to escape under the cover of night.

    Since Tojo Hideki had evacuated, the Japanese troops in Shenyang City were leaderless, and their resistance dropped rapidly. The armored infantry regiment quickly captured the entire city.

    The Second Armored Tank Regiment even rushed to the vicinity of the former Shenyang Arsenal, but they arrived one unit late.

    The crazed Japs had already detonated the factory, and the fire spread rapidly. Soon the entire Northeast's largest industrial base was enveloped in flames and burned to the ground.

    As for those Japanese technical personnel and part of the garrison who had no time to evacuate, they became the targets of wanton massacre by the tank and armor regiments.

    The reason why Hideki Tojo ordered that no one should surrender was because he was afraid that these Japanese technical personnel would be captured and used by China.

    But what they didn*t expect was that Qiao Anbang had already promised not to do anything.??The order of the Japanese prisoners, and when Zhang Xudong led the armored division this time.

    He also had no instructions to spare the lives of Japanese military industrial and technical personnel.

    Qiao Anbang does not care about the so-called scientists and military technicians of the Japanese at all. With the rise of the Chinese nation, how can we count on the Japanese?

    Therefore, everyone in the armored division showed no mercy or hesitation at all. They killed the Japanese whenever they saw them, regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young.

    Overnight, all the Japanese soldiers, businessmen, expatriates, and workers in Shenyang City were slaughtered.

    Seven years ago, the Japanese Kwantung Army occupied Shenyang City with their artillery fire and bullets, and then occupied the entire three eastern provinces. During this period, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Countless people outside the pass were brutally slaughtered, and their families were destroyed.

    Seven years later, the Japanese finally got the comeuppance they deserved. Of course, this was just the beginning.
