Chapter 590: The General Offensive Begins
The sky is bright, and the mountain is on the top.
During the day yesterday, Zhang Yunfei watched on the top of the mountain for almost a day, mainly watching the situation on the periphery of Jinzhou, and Zhang Yunfei still had a good understanding of the battle situation in Jinzhou.
After several days of fierce fighting, now, all the strongholds and fortifications of the little devils on the periphery of Jinzhou have been destroyed or occupied by the soldiers, and the troops of the little devils in Jinzhou have been killed by 30,000 or 40,000, of which the 2nd Brigade of heavy artillery has been completely annihilated, and the Jinzhou airport of the little devils has also been eliminated.
After a few days of fighting, the little devils suffered 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, and the remaining tens of thousands of little devils had all retreated to Jinzhou City last night, and the little devils were ready to resist stubbornly with the strong city wall.
Early this morning, accompanied by Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi, Zhang Yunfei came to the headquarters early, standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking Jinzhou City in the distance.
"Report Chief! Call from the front line of Tiger Mountain. ”
A correspondent, with a telegram, walked over quickly, stood upright, and reported to Zhang Yunfei.
This is a good news jointly sent by the two infantry divisions that blocked the little devils in the area of Tiger Mountain, and after reading the telegram, Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Comrades! We also fought a big victory in the area of Tiger Mountain, and the two divisions of the little devils who reinforced Jinzhou have been almost wiped out by us, and only a few thousand of the little devils have fled back, and the high-ranking members of the two divisions of the little devils have also been wiped out by the soldiers. ”
After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Comrade Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Column, and Comrade Sun Chuanzhi, commander of the 8th Column, on the faces of the two. They were all full of joy, and such a great victory was won by the infantry division of their own column.
Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone. Then he said: "Our defense line in the area of Tiger Mountain is impregnable, and we can rest assured that we can encircle and annihilate the little devils in Jinzhou." ”
Hearing this, everyone is full of expectations. Looking forward to the recovery of Jinzhou.
Now, the highlands outside Jinzhou City, such as Fort Mountain, Shuangshanzi West Mountain, Hanwangdian South Mountain, Bauhinia Mountain, and Liangma Mountain, have all been occupied by the soldiers.
The tens of thousands of remnants of the little devils were defeated, relying on the Xiaoling River, the Daughter River and the city wall to form the main position; With the tall buildings in the city, such as Jiaotong University, Japanese pseudo-shrines, China Textile Company, and the old city, the core of the inner city is based, and the little devils are ready to resist stubbornly.
Zhang Yunfei held the binoculars and was condescending. Looking at Jinzhou City in the distance, in the telescope, Zhang Yunfei could even vaguely see a lot of little devils on the walls of Jinzhou City.
Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch, it was already more than seven o'clock in the morning, or it wouldn't be long, eight o'clock in the morning, four columns. Hundreds of cannons will shell the city walls of Jinzhou City from four directions.
At this time, outside the city of Jinzhou, there were several huge artillery positions. A huge group of heavy artillery was ready, and rows of huge cannon muzzles with black holes were aimed at the city wall in the distance.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the 36th Army began to bombard the city with heavy artillery.
In the four directions outside Jinzhou City, the sound of cannon fire sounded at the same time, and in the sky, a large sharp whistling sound sounded, and the soldiers began to fire at Jinzhou City.
Hundreds of cannons, firing in unison, concentrated the bombardment of the walls and main fortifications in order to open the gaps and facilitate the entry of the warriors into the city.
Around the city of Jinzhou, one or two kilometers away from the city wall, less than a thousand meters near, a lot of soldiers have been ready to go, a lot of tanks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles have been ready, into the designated position, just wait for the end of the shelling, the soldiers will follow the gap in the city wall, attack the city.
On the city wall of Jinzhou City, a large number of little devils are like facing a big enemy, and many machine guns have been erected, and even a lot of mortars, many grenadiers and other weapons have also been erected on the city wall.
All the outlying fortifications were destroyed, and the little devils knew that the soldiers of the 36th Army outside the city would attack the city sooner or later.
On the city wall, a large number of little devils, a lot of little devil officers, in the city, in many places, the little devils have also built fortifications, and some tall buildings in the city have also been occupied by the little devils, and the little devils are also prepared for the worst.
As long as Jinzhou City is broken through, the little devils are also ready for street fighting.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of cannon fire in the distance, and a large sharp whistling sound sounded in the sky, and many experienced little devils suddenly knew what was going on.
"Not good! The heavy artillery group of the 36th Army opened fire. ”
On the city wall, many little devils saw this, and hurriedly squatted down, hiding behind sandbags, or hiding behind the battlements, holding their heads with both hands, trying to avoid the bombardment of cannons.
Before the little devil could get ready, the cannonballs smashed down, making an earth-shattering loud noise, a dense explosion, resounding on or near the city wall.
Cheng.
The situation in the north of the city was similar to that in several other directions, and the dense explosions had already sounded on the city walls, and with the explosions, many little devils were blown into the sky.
On the city wall, some machine guns set up by the little devils, and even the 38-type rifles of the little devils, with the air waves generated by the explosion, were thrown high, flew out of the city wall, and fell on both sides of the city wall.
Among these cannons, many are 155mm howitzers, whether it is a 105mm howitzer or a 155mm howitzer, they are all powerful, and every explosion kills a lot of little devils.
The little devils who stuck to the city wall were basically lost in the first ten minutes of shelling, and the city wall was already dilapidated, with the corpses of the little devils everywhere, and then there were scattered weapons, which were also mixed with a large number of stumps and broken arms of the little devils.

Climb to the top of the mountain.
As soon as the shelling began, Zhang Yunfei took the telescope with great interest, looked at the shelling in the north of the city, and saw that under the fierce shelling, the little devils on the city wall were basically killed and wounded.
Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Okay! That's great! ”
Next to Zhang Yunfei, Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi, seeing that Commander-in-Chief Zhang praised him again and again, they were also happy in their hearts, because the artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades of the 6th and 8th columns were basically shelling the north of the city.
"Commander-in-chief, our artillery bombardment is too sharp, although the city wall of Jinzhou has been reinforced by little devils, it is estimated that it is absolutely impossible to hold out for half an hour."
Chu Tianming, who graduated from Huangpu, still had a fierce eye, and seeing such a dense shelling, Chu Tianming immediately predicted that the walls of Jinzhou City could not last for half an hour.
Hearing this, Zhang Yunfei nodded, "We have a lot of heavy artillery with a caliber of 155 mm, and the walls of Jinzhou City, I estimate that some places have begun to crack." ”
Zhang Yunfei's estimate was completely correct, with such intensive shelling, several sections of the city wall in the north of the city had cracked, appeared to be crumbling, and could collapse at any time.
As the shelling progressed, Zhang Yunfei and others stood on the top of Maoshan Mountain, and through the telescope, they finally saw that several parts of the city wall in the north of the city had begun to collapse, and as the shelling continued, the movement of the collapse of the city wall seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Commander-in-Chief! Look there, a long section of the wall has collapsed! ”
Sun Chuanzhi, commander of the 8th Column, who had not spoken, shouted happily when he saw a section of the city wall at least two or three hundred meters collapsed under heavy shelling.
Zhang Yunfei looked in the direction Sun Chuanzhi pointed out, and saw that a very long section of the city wall had collapsed, and the intensive shelling continued to bombard this section of the collapsed city wall.
Zhang Yunfei saw that under the intensive shelling, in just a few minutes, this section of the collapsed city wall was blown up a lot, and if this continues, as long as it takes a few more minutes, this city wall will be basically blown up, and at that time, whether it is an off-road vehicle, a tank or an armored vehicle, you can drive along these collapsed city walls.
The shelling continued.
The city wall outside Jinzhou City, a large section of the city collapsed one after another, revealing a huge gap, outside the city, many soldiers who were ready to attack, saw the city wall in the distance beyond recognition, suddenly, burst into cheers.
Many of the fighters were already eager to try, and they couldn't hold it back, and as soon as the sound of the artillery stopped, they would launch a general attack.
At half past eight in the morning, half an hour after the shelling, the fighters began to extend the shelling, extending the shelling for several hundred meters to the inner side of the city walls.
On the inside of the city wall, the little devils have built a lot of fortifications, and there are also a lot of little devils there, and the little devils' plan is that after the 36th Group Army breaks through the city wall, it will block the soldiers from entering the city on the inside of the city wall.
As for the people within a few hundred meters of the inner side of the city wall, there are no people in this area for a long time, and there are not many houses in this area, and as the battle began, the people have long since run away.
With the extended artillery bombardment, the intensive shelling to the inner side of the city wall, some of the fortifications built by the little devils on the inner side of the city wall suddenly collapsed, and many little devils saw this and saw that the situation was not good, and retreated to the city one after another.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the whole hour of shelling finally ended.
The cannons stopped suddenly, and the soldiers who had been prepared outside the city for a long time let out an earth-shattering cry and began to launch a general attack on Jinzhou City.
The four large columns, from all directions, a total of nearly 200,000 soldiers, launched a huge offensive, launched an attack on the remnants of 20,000 or 30,000 little devils in Jinzhou City, the shelling ended, the remnants of the little devils were only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and many little devils had died in the fierce shelling just now.
After the street fighting began, these two or 30,000 little devils would face nearly 200,000 soldiers of the 36th Army.
