Chapter 1261: Frog Jumping Tactics
The Tohoku region has well-developed transportation, and in addition to railways, roads are also well developed.
After landing from Huayuankou, Zhao Shan and Zhao Jie commanded the Eighth Column and its subordinate troops to rush to Chengzituan, taking the route of taking Jinzhou along the Jinfu Railway and then going south to Dalian and Lushun along the South Manchurian Railway; Xu Shiyou commanded the 11th Column, but crossed the Jinfu Railway, launched on the spot, divided troops to capture Pulandian, Zhuanghe, Wafangdian, Xiuyan, and Gaiping areas north of Jinzhou, and marched to Yingkou and Panjin, with the purpose of controlling the northern area of the Jiaodong Peninsula, communicating the Eighth Route Army attacking Shenyang and the Eighth Route Army attacking Dalian and Lushun and attacking the Andong area; The troops under the command of Ye Ting and Yang Jingyu attacked the Andong area in order to block the passage for the Japanese Korean army to reinforce the Kwantung Army and ensure that the army recovered Liaoning in one fell swoop.
After the main force led by Liu Yimin landed at Huayuankou, they advanced to Piziwo and got on the road from Piziwo to Pulandian.
It is 35 kilometers from Pikou to Pulandian, and the highway mileage from Pulandian to Shenyang is about 320 kilometers, totaling 350 kilometers. At the speed of the Eighth Route Army's existing tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, it would have to run for eight or nine hours. It has to be without any obstruction or interference. The cavalry was much slower, and could not catch up without food or drink for a day or a night. If you let the infantry walk, you have to run for three or four days.
In Pulandian, the Special Operations Command, which used motorcycles, armored vehicles, and automobiles to open the way for the whole army, intercepted the Asiaa high-speed train from Dalian to Changchun and Harbin, and also seized two wagons parked at the Pulandian station.
This unfortunate Asia-Minor high-speed train had just passed through Jinzhou Station, and the vanguard of the Eighth Column led by Zuo Ye entered Jinzhou Station through the Jinfu Railway, but he did not expect that it would still fall into the hands of the Eighth Route Army in Pulandian.
All this seems to be a coincidence, but in fact it is all in Liu Yimin's careful calculation.
The driver, stoker, and conductor of the Asia high-speed train are all the same as the "day" himself. Among these people, the others can be killed, but the driver can't. Because there were no drivers in the Eighth Route Army who could drive high-speed trains.
The Asia train was originally non-stop at Pulandian Station, but the station issued a fault repair signal. The driver is not allowed to brake and stop urgently.
As soon as the Asia stopped, a group of Japanese soldiers arrived at the train and told the conductor, who opened the door and asked what had happened, that he had received an urgent report from Dalian that the train had been mixed with important anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements. A time bomb was installed on the vehicle to prepare for sabotage, all passengers had to get out of the vehicle, and the vehicle was subject to a security check.
As he spoke, the Japanese lieutenant who led the team also held a telegram and shook it a few times in front of the face of the devil train commander.
Although the anti-Japanese fire brigade operating in Dalian was eradicated by the Japanese army, their deeds were all published in the Japanese pseudo-newspapers in the northeast. Of course, what the Japanese pseudo-newspapers said was the numerous crimes committed by these anti-Manchu and anti-Japanese elements.
The devil Asia told the conductor that he had read the newspaper and listened to the radio, and that he was also full of hatred for the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements. At this time, as soon as they heard that the anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements had infiltrated the train and attempted to carry out the explosion, the commander of the devil and the small officers of the Japanese army who were accompanying the train to protect the safety were all anxious, turned their heads and shouted to get off the train quickly!
Those who were able to get on the high-speed train of the Asia were either Japanese military officers or managers of Japanese-funded enterprises, as well as high-ranking puppet staff members and businessmen who worked in the puppet government at all levels in Northeast China. When they heard that the Asia had infiltrated anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements and planted time bombs on the train, they all obediently got off the train and obeyed the command of the Japanese troops at the station. Went to the waiting room.
The captain of the Asia whirled around the lieutenant's ass and muttered as fast as possible that the train could not be delayed. The Asia has never been late!
The devil lieutenant seemed to be in a hurry to get on the car for inspection, and was very impatient with the commander's words, so he even ordered the soldiers to quickly send the commander to the waiting room to rest.
The conductor was driven to the waiting room, and the conductor and guards on the train were naturally driven to the retreat room, only the train driver was still sitting in the cab of the wagon, chatting with a second lieutenant who came up to inspect the customs of Kanto Prefecture.
After about half an hour, the driver received a driving signal, sounded the whistle, and started driving. It's just that the devil second lieutenant said that he was going to report to the Kwantung Defense Army Headquarters in Shenyang, and he happened to take advantage of the car to go. You don't have to get off the bus, you can chat and relieve boredom along the way.
The Asia told the driver of the train that he had patronized and chatted with the ensign, and that he did not even see the desperate face of the conductor in the waiting room hall, let alone that the passengers on the train had been replaced.
In this way, the 1st Column, 1st Brigade and 1st Regiment arrived at the Pulandian Railway Station by car and got on two wagons, and a single special operations squadron and three sniper squadrons of the Special Operations Command got on the Asiatic high-speed train. Three trains left Pulandian Station one after the other. Drive towards Shenyang.
The cars left behind by the Special Operations Command and the 1st Regiment were handed over to the other units of the 1st Column.
Li Lingfeng, Wang Tongsheng, and Li Shanzhu led the special operations headquarters and a regiment to Shenyang, and Liu Yimin led the main force on the highway from Shenyang to Dalian.
As for the task of capturing Piziwo and Pulandian City, it was the eighth and eleventh columns, and the main force led by Liu Yimin did not do this, and their task was to take Shenyang City.
At this point, Liu Yimin's operational tactics of landing in eastern Liaoning have basically become prominent, that is, the tactic of leapfrogging, using railways and highways as jumping aids, attacking and occupying key points in Liaoning at the same time, completely disrupting the deployment of the Kwantung Defense Army, and destroying the Japanese puppet army in Liaoning as quickly as possible before the main force of the Kwantung Army reinforces on a large scale.
When the army led by Luo Ronghuan, Cai Zhong, and Li Qing arrives on the Liaodong Peninsula, hehe, even if the Kwantung Army is reinforced, they are not afraid.
Lushun has become a pot of porridge, Dalian is fighting fiercely, Jinzhou is fighting fiercely, Shanhaiguan has been recovered, what about Shenyang City?
Shenyang is a famous historical and cultural city, and it is also a military stronghold, and it is the military town of Yanguo Fangcheng during the Warring States Period. In the Western Han Dynasty, it was still an important military town, because of the establishment of military observation facilities - "Hou" stationed a large number of military guards, and the influx of military families formed a city scale, renamed "Houcheng". In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Shenzhou, and the Yuan Dynasty rebuilt Shenzhou Tucheng, first renamed Shenzhou Road, and then because Shenzhou Road is located in the north of the ancient Shenshui (now Hunhe). It is located in the south of the mountain and the north of the water, so it is renamed Shenyang. During the Ming Dynasty, Shenyang was an important base for the Ming Dynasty to operate in the northeast, and the earthen city wall was changed to a brick city wall. Shenyang is called Shenyang Zhongwei. After the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in 1625, Nurhachi moved the capital from Liaoyang to Shenyang and built the imperial palace. When his son Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he changed the name of Shenyang to Shengjing. "Once the birthplace, two generations of emperors are capital" these two sentences are the story of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji and his son set the capital of Shenyang, and created the 300-year foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and set the capital in Beijing, Shenyang was regarded as the accompanying capital, taking the meaning of Fengtian transportation. Fengtianfu was established in Shenyang, so Shenyang is also known as Fengtian. After the Xinhai Revolution, Shenyang was the capital and ruling center of the warlords. In 1923, the Fengtian Municipal Office was established, and Shenyang was established! In 1929, the Northeast changed banners, and Zhang Xueliang renamed Fengtian City as Shenyang City. After "918", I changed the name of Shenyang City to Fengtian City!
The current city of Shenyang is called Fengtian City!
Folklore has that the origin of the name of Shenyang City is more romantic than the official history.
Legend has it that when Shenyang was still called Houcheng, there was a loyal, kind and hard-working young man among the residents. Get up early and return late every day to go up the mountain to collect firewood. One day, while he was chopping wood, he suddenly heard a terrible cry. Looking up, a vicious wolf was chasing a small antelope. The little antelope ran and ran and was entangled in the vines in the grass, and was about to become the belly of the wolf, and the kind-hearted young man ran over, raised his wood knife at the wolf, and cut off one of the wolf's ears. After the wolf howled and fled, the young man rescued the little antelope from the vine, and innocently said to the little antelope: "Little one, be careful in the future, go home quickly!" The little antelope seemed to understand what he was saying. Standing on the other side and looking at him, he refused to leave. Seeing that the little antelope was not leaving, he raised his hand and patted the sheep's head and said, "Let's go!" He carried the firewood on his back and went home.
After that, the boy went to chop wood every day as usual. One day, when the sun was just rising, he heard the cry of an antelope again and looked up. An elandish and two small duikers are chirping at the sun. He thought that some wild beast was going to kill these tame antelopes, but when he looked around, he found nothing, so he did not go over and alarm the three antelopes. That night, he had a strange dream, in which he dreamed of the three antelopes he had met in the woods, and the old antelope thanked him, and said that the people here were kind, and they would be rewarded. He asked the antelope in amazement, "How can you speak?" As if he had not heard what he said, the old antelope led the two little antelopes and ran into the woods. He hurriedly shouted, "How can you speak? He woke up suddenly, and he thought it was strange, so he told his family about the dream and the rescue of the little antelope, and gradually the whole city knew about it. One passes ten, ten passes hundred, and the more it spreads, the more strange it becomes. It's strange to say that since then, this place has been in good weather for several years. Some people seconded the meeting: the three antelopes called to the sun is the auspicious omen of "three sheep Kaitai", and said that the antelope is the "divine sheep", and also proposed to change the name of the city to "the city of the sheep", and slowly the city was replaced by the "city of the sheep" recognized by the people. Because "Shenyang" is homophonic with Shenyang, because of the Shenyang Wei set up in Shenshui North in the future, the "Shenyang City" was called Shenyang City.
Legends are not true!
In the 21st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong commanded the envoy to command Min Zhong to supervise the construction of the Shenyang city wall, the circumference of the old Shenyang city wall is 9 miles and 10 steps, 2 zhang and 5 feet high, with the central temple as the central point, and the garrison is inside. The main role is to resist the military attacks of the Mongols and Jurchens in the north. The Ming city wall has long been destroyed in the battle between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and only the north gate has been preserved.
The city of Shenyang in the Qing Dynasty was expanded by Huang Taiji, presenting the pattern of "well", eight gates to eight streets, four roads enclose the palace in the center, and the four roads correspond to the eight gates in and out of the city. To the east of the city, the north is the small east gate (Neizhi gate), and the south is the big east gate (Fujin gate). To the south of the city, the west is the small south gate (Tianyou Gate), and the east is the big south gate (Desheng Gate). To the west of the city, the north is the small west gate (wai fangmen), and the south is the big west gate (Huaiyuan gate). The north of the city is the small north gate (ground gate) in the west, and the big north gate (Fusheng gate) in the east. The original strongest north gate of the Ming Dynasty was the least destroyed in the war, and because it was close to Nurhachi's residence, it was fortunate to be preserved in the Qing Dynasty and became the "Nine Gates". At that time, in addition to the imperial palace, there were also the Khan's Palace, 11 palaces, six yamen, temples, etc., like a well-guarded and impregnable capital.
Unfortunately, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to the weak operation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the common people began to tear down the bricks of the city wall and go back to build houses, and the city wall of Shenyang was demolished beyond recognition. When Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang ruled the Northeast, they vigorously developed modern industry in Shenyang, and the scale of Shenyang City expanded dramatically, and the railway station, bus station, and airport were built, and the old city wall was demolished in an organized manner from 1929 to 1930, and only important cultural relics were retained.
To tell the truth, Zhang Xueliang and his son have indeed contributed to the development of the local economy in Northeast China. Back then, a dime Fengtian ticket could eat a big bowl of shredded meat noodles, and the old Shenyang people still remember it.
It's a pity that the little devil launched the 918 Incident, shattering the dream of sustainable economic development in Northeast China. Now, although the industry in the Northeast has developed to a certain extent, it is all deformed, and it is all developed around the needs of the Japanese army's war of aggression, heavy industry, chemical industry, and mining are relatively developed, and other light industries are far inferior to the period when Zhang's father and son ruled the Northeast.
At half past 12 noon on March 26, the Shenyang Railway Station was full of people, passengers coming and going, the tram in front of the station, the horse-drawn carriages, cars, and rickshaws waiting to carry passengers, as well as the gendarmes leading wolf dogs around the platform, platform, waiting room, and box office, the straight and straight station staff of the station, and the police patrolling the station field, the hawkers and prostitutes soliciting customers, constituted a ukiyo-e of the Shenyang Railway Station under the occupation of the Japanese army, and it was very lively.
As if the Shenyang Railway Station was not lively enough, Japanese cars drove towards the station one after another, and the neat Japanese soldiers at Cheshan Station were still singing the military song of the Kwantung Army loudly. Immediately after that, the Japanese troops drove to the station in a neat line, frightening the hawkers, prostitutes soliciting customers, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws waiting to carry people on the platform and in the station field.
It turned out that after receiving the report that the Eighth Route Army had captured Lushun Railway Station, Dalian Railway Station, and Jinzhou, the Japanese troops stationed in Shenyang who were dispatched by the Kwantung Defense Army Headquarters were preparing to take a train to Liaoyang to deploy defenses.
At this time, the high-speed train "Asia" from Dalian arrived at the station on time.
The door of the carriage opened, and Li Lingfeng, who was wearing the uniform of the Japanese army, appeared at the door of the carriage, looked up at the sky, and then looked at the bustling platform in the station, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and laughed softly: "Shenyang, it's been a long time!" ”
