Three o'clock in the morning on July 23, 1942. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info Shenyang City.

This time, although the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army surrounded the Japanese army from the east, north, and west, the focus of the general attack was on the east side of Shenyang, which was less than a kilometer wide. Both sides concentrated 80,000 men here, all tanks, all artillery.

The main forces of the Japanese defense were also deployed on the eastern flank, numbering as many as 40,000. Cement fortifications, underground bunkers, pillboxes, trenches formed a fortified position.

More than two dozen planes flew over the eastern suburbs and dropped bombs on defensive positions on the outskirts of the city.

The first dozen or so were bombshells, and the explosions were loud and connected. In the light of the explosion, it could be seen that the trenches and bunkers were blown up in a range of seven or eight hundred meters wide.

Soon, the plane flew back, and this time the bomb dropped was not a bombshell, but a cluster bomb. The place that was blown up just now was blown up again. The explosion was like a carpet, covering the entire area.

As soon as the plane flew away, the living Japanese soldiers emerged from the pile of corpses, they knew that the Eighth Route Army was going to attack, and they were going to enter the position.

At this time, artillery was fired outside the city. The shells bombed again in the area that had just been blown up, and the Japanese troops who had just come out were bombed again.

At half past three in the morning, in the headquarters, a staff officer said: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the headquarters of the siege troops in Dalian, Changchun, Jilin, and Shenyang have been connected." The commanders of the various units are on the phone, waiting for your orders. ”

Xiao Lu looked at Division Commander Lin, picked up the phone, and said, "The various units of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army, I am Lu Xiaoming. I command you. Braving enemy fire, advance! ”

The trumpet of the charge sounded, and in the area where the explosion had just occurred, more than a dozen tanks slowly opened the road, and thousands of Eighth Route Army troops wrapped white towels around their right arms, shouted loudly, and rushed to the Japanese position.

They were followed closely by two large trucks, each with several loudspeakers playing the March of the Volunteers. The sound of the march was loud and spread throughout the battlefield.

Seeing the general attack of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army quickly entered the position. They kept detonating cluster bombs that did not explode. It didn't take long to counterattack, and the tanks had already attacked. The tank was the original Japanese tank, and the machine guns on it fired fiercely, immediately pinning down the Japanese troops.

The Japanese army immediately organized death squads, armed with explosives, and rushed out.

The troops that followed behind the tank opened fire. This suicidal tactic of the Japanese army has been used, and the infantry and tanks of the Northeast Coalition Army have also cooperated skillfully. The death squads that rushed over were killed in the middle of the road, and some were killed as soon as they came out.

The second wave of death squads had not yet been organized, and the tanks were on their positions.

Led by tanks, the gaps in the Japanese positions were quickly torn open.

The Eighth Route Army poured into Shenyang like a tidal wave.

Half past four in the morning. The entire defense line on the east side of Shenyang was breached. More than 20,000 troops, regardless of the defensive line, have already rushed into the city.

Due to the paralysis of the Japanese command, the Japanese troops defending the city fought separately and did not work well. The troops that broke through the eastern line of defense quickly advanced north and south.

At Shenyang Station, two trains stop on the platform.

Hundreds of Japanese soldiers were carrying things onto the train. When a carriage was full, someone took a notebook, signed it, locked the door, and soon the wooden boxes on the platform were loaded into the car.

At five o'clock, the vanguard and the special combat team that had infiltrated the city met and occupied the Japanese headquarters. After the special operations unit wiped out the Japanese headquarters in the command building, they engaged in a fierce battle with more than 200 Japanese military police who had come to reinforce them. By the time the large army arrived, they had already wounded a dozen people, and only three of them were in good condition.

54:30. Four trains slowly departed from Shenyang Station, two of which were wagons, and each with a passenger car at the front and tail of the locomotive, which was the Japanese army escorting the car. The remaining two trains were passenger cars, and they were the families of Japanese officers, who had already entered the train and were ready to flee for their lives with the other trains.

In the corner of the station, two people were lying behind the garbage can, and one of them said to the other: "You go out and tell the political commissar that the enemy's four trains are heading for Fushun, please send troops to intercept them." Only two wagons were guarded by Japanese troops: two wagons at the bow and two at the end. ”

At six o'clock, the large forces occupied the opportunity to all the large organs, buildings.

At 6:20, the train from Shenyang Dongfang was not far from Fushun. At this time, only an explosion was heard on the tracks, and the first train derailed.

Gunfire rang out on both sides of the railway.

Nearly 400 Japanese troops on two wagons leaned on the train and opened fire on both sides.

Suddenly, with several loud bangs, there was an explosion in the Japanese carriage of the escort of two trains, and the shell hit the carriage, and an explosion occurred in the carriage. Then, with a few loud bangs, the shells hit the cars again.

Hundreds of fighters rushed out on the side of the railway, and soon, the Japanese troops in the carriages were wiped out. The fighters surrounded the bus and began to shout.

The shouting gradually took effect, the buses opened, and the Japanese soldiers' families got off the cars one by one with their luggage and stood in a row according to the instructions. The encircled anti-Japanese coalition forces were still on high alert, fearing that there would be soldiers mixed with the Japanese refugees.

At this time, a large group of militiamen came, and they came with ropes and poles to carry things.

At seven o'clock, all the factories were controlled by the troops.

In the morning, the Japanese troops guarding Shenyang were divided into two parts, one in the north and one in the south of the city. They were originally a defensive position in a single group, but now they were divided and attacked on all sides.

At noon, a telegram was sent from the Shenyang headquarters to Yan'an: "Shenyang city center has been conquered. All factories and institutions are occupied. There are still more than 20,000 remnants of the Japanese army, and they are fighting fiercely with our army in the two areas on the south side and the north side of Shenyang. ”

Mayor Chen Yun and his leadership team took office at noon, Yang Jingyu allocated a division, all of which were reorganized into the Shenyang Guard Force, and Yang Jingyu was appointed as the commander of the Shenyang garrison and acting deputy mayor.

Neither the Japanese defenders nor the attacking Northeast Democratic Alliance Army expected that the Japanese troops in the south and north of the city would resist stubbornly for five days. Until the bullets are completely depleted.

Because they quickly entered the houses and started street fighting. The attacking troops had an order not to damage the property of the people, so after the planes and artillery had flattened the positions outside the city, the Japanese troops saw that there was no damage at all in the city, so they entered the city and launched street fighting.

Later historical records show that this war was very tragic, and the Japanese army relied on the houses of Shenyang citizens to engage in street battles with the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army. In many cases, they used the people in the house as shields, which greatly affected the speed of the siege.

July 28, 1942.

In the end, the remnants of the hundreds of Japanese troops in Huanggutun in the north of the city killed the people in the houses and committed suicide, and Shenyang was recovered.

The propaganda department of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army issued a large number of articles exposing the Japanese army's bad deeds of using civilians as cover and killing civilians.

This time, the troops participating in the street battles suffered huge losses.

The greatest losses were Yang Jingyu's troops, with thousands of dead and wounded.

Xiaolu later looked at several places in these two battlefields, and tens of thousands of Shenyang citizens died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army. This is very sad.

Shenyang was recovered, and this time, the situation on the Chinese battlefield really shook.
