Chapter 663 Fengtian Victory (Ask for Subscription!) ）

Outside the city of Mukden, a full forty hours have passed from the beginning of the siege battle to the present. During these 40 hours of repeated attacks, all kinds of fortifications outside the city of Mukden that the Japanese army spent a lot of effort and carefully built were all turned into ruins under the bombardment of a large number of heavy artillery of the field army.

At the same time, with the assistance and support of dozens of tanks of the tank brigade, the three main columns successfully completed the first phase of the combat mission without paying much casualties. Within 40 hours, clear the battle lines of all Japanese puppet troops and troops outside Mukden City. Successfully advanced to a position less than a kilometer away from the walls of Mukden City, waiting for the arrival of the final general attack.

In the forward positions of the Eighth Route Army, the three main columns, supported by a large number of heavy artillery and tanks, swept all the way through the outer positions of Fengtian City. It took less than 40 hours to annihilate nearly 10,000 Japanese puppet troops. The battle line of the troops was successfully advanced to the corner of the city wall of Fengtian City.

The special operations division in Fengtian City, in two nights, not only killed and wounded several times its own, but also nearly 5,000 elite Kwantung Army soldiers. What's more, in the face of the devil-like special combat soldiers, the devil soldiers stationed in the city have already become frightened birds. As for the morale of the troops, it has also fallen to the lowest point because of repeated sneak attacks....

In the former enemy headquarters of the field army, the good news one after another, although it continued to reach the ears of the commander Liu Hua. However, the atmosphere within the entire former enemy command did not show any ease because of this good news. On the contrary, the entire former enemy headquarters was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, which made people almost breathless.

Because, at this moment, everyone in the command headquarters, including Commander Liu Hua, clearly knows that the battle situation in the forward position is progressing very smoothly. However, if the Guard Division and the 7th Division in the Tieling area could not successfully block the Japanese reinforcements from two directions. Then, after two days of bloody battles, the tremendous results achieved by the three main columns, including the special operations division, will immediately come to naught. More importantly, if the troops could not retreat in time due to the arrival of Japanese reinforcements. This combat operation will not only not achieve any results, but will lose troops...

For this kind of battle, which is not worth the loss, of course, it is not a result that Commander Liu Hua and everyone in the command center want to see. Therefore, in the face of the huge threat of the Japanese army's two-way reinforcements, almost everyone in the entire former enemy headquarters silently prayed in their hearts that the two troops could successfully complete the task. At the same time, it successfully repelled the Japanese reinforcements from two directions.

Time passed minute by minute in everyone's anxious waiting. Seeing that there was less than an hour left before the time for the troops to launch the final general attack, there was less than an hour left. Liu Hua, who hadn't waited for any news from the two troops, couldn't help frowning his brows, and began to pace back and forth in the small headquarters, to vent the anxiety in his heart at this moment.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, a rush of footsteps reached the ears of everyone in the headquarters. Immediately afterwards, Li Qing, the chief of staff with an excited face, appeared in front of Liu Hua.

After everyone's eyes converged on the body of Li Qing, the chief of staff in front of him. Chief of Staff Li Qing, without any hesitation, reported excitedly to Liu Hua, who was also looking forward to the same look in front of him.

"Commander, Captain Bruce Lee, Guard Division, urgently telegraphed...."

"Read..."Liu Hua walked quickly to the huge military map, and ordered eagerly to the chief of staff who followed closely behind him.

"Yes, Division Commander Li reported that the Guard Division, after a day and night of rapid marching, encountered Japanese reinforcements about eighty kilometers from Mukden City. At present, the enemy and our armies are engaged in fierce exchanges of fire and fighting in the area of Xiaopanshan. According to Division Commander Li's report, the Guard Division has the ability to hold back the Japanese reinforcements in the area of Xiaopanshan for at least a week..."Chief of Staff Li Qing replied affirmatively.

"Okay, good, the guard division did a great job..."In the face of this exciting good news, in the command headquarters, Liu Hua, who had been anxiously waiting for more than 20 hours, couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Facing Li Qing, the chief of staff in front of him, he said excitedly. ,

"Chief of Staff, there are more than 10,000 people from the guard division blocking the area of Xiaopanshan. I believe that no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Japanese reinforcements is, it will not be possible to break through the defense line of our guard division within a week. Now, with the reinforcements coming from the direction of Shanhaiguan, we don't have to worry about it anymore..."

"Commander, there are just over forty minutes left before the final general attack. The good news of the guard division has reached our hands, and we hope that Division Commander Zhong, who is sticking to Tieling County, can also give us a big gift before the troops launch a general attack...."Pointing to the location of Tieling County on the map, Li Qing nodded silently and said with an expectant expression.

said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and as soon as Chief of Staff Li Qing's words fell, there was another rush of footsteps, which reached everyone's ears. The communications staff officer with an excited face, holding a telegram, quickly rushed into the front enemy headquarters and reported.

"Report to the commander, chief of staff, telegram from the commander of the 7th Division, Zhong Division, defending at Tieling..."

"All the commanders and fighters of the Seventh Division of my third column have fought bloody battles for two days. After paying the heavy price of 3,871 commanders and fighters, the reinforcements of the three newly formed divisions of the Japanese army were successfully blocked outside the city of Tieling County. Just as I was participating in the troops and preparing for the final decisive battle with the Japanese army, the Japanese reinforcements who were engaged in a confrontation with our army suddenly began to retreat at six o'clock this afternoon, and withdrew from the battlefield with unexpected speed. At present, the entire Tieling area has been completely recovered by the remnants of our 7th Division. As for the three newly formed divisions of the Japanese army, the troops were divided into two routes, and they advanced rapidly in the direction of Changchun and the 1st Corps of the Kwantung Army...."

"Commander, you can really come whatever you want: the Japanese reinforcements in the direction of Tieling have also retreated. If nothing else, our plan is starting to work. The Japanese reinforcements have withdrawn from the battlefield, and our main force can completely relax and concentrate on launching a final attack on the entire city of Mukden, breaking through the city walls in one fell swoop, and occupying the entire city of Mukden..." As soon as the words of the communications staff officer fell, a trace of excitement appeared in the eyes of the chief of staff. Facing Liu Hua beside him, he said excitedly.

"Lao Li, you are right, the two problems that stand in our way have finally been solved. Now we can put our minds at ease and deal with the little devils in Fengtian City, and take Fengtian City with the least loss possible. Liu Hua's face also showed an excited look in an instant. Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he said confidently.

"Chief of Staff, immediately issue a combat order to all units: All siege troops, in accordance with the original plan, with the cooperation of tank troops, artillery units, and engineer units, must launch a fierce attack on the three walls of Fengtian City at one o'clock in the morning this evening. At the same time, the cavalry division of the special forces column was ordered to set off immediately and rush to the south gate of Fengtian City to destroy all the Japanese puppet army units that broke through from the south gate. ”

At one o'clock in the morning, a cluster of heavy artillery with almost three-quarters of the caliber of the Northeast Field Army was gathered, and almost at the same time, shells began to pour one shell after another against the nearby walls of Mukden City. In less than two rounds of heavy artillery fire, the three walls of Fengtian City, east, west and north, were shrouded in flames amid the explosion of hundreds of shells.

For Mukden City, the battle for the final city wall officially began with the beginning of the shelling.

Inside the city of Mukden, inside the Japanese high headquarters, as the shelling began, it immediately fell into chaos. In the headquarters, after two days of bloody fighting, the only bit of sharpness in the heart of the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, was almost worn out by the continuous defeats of the combat troops outside the city.

Before the battle officially began, the only remaining bit of confidence in Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi's heart was pinned on the two reinforcements that were rapidly advancing towards Mukden City. It is hoped that the two reinforcements will be able to reach the periphery of Fengtian City as soon as possible and launch an attack from behind the Eighth Route Army, so as to relieve the crisis of the imminent fall of Fengtian City and save the fate of the entire Fengtian City.

However, it backfired. Less than an hour before the battle for the walls began, the last remaining hope in his heart was completely shattered.

Because, the two reinforcements, the reinforcements who came in a hurry from the Shanhaiguan area, were forced to stay in the area of Xiaopanshan under the resolute resistance of more than 10,000 elites of the Eighth Route Army, and they could not advance or retreat. As for the other reinforcements, it was more thorough, and in the face of the joint attack of the Soviet Red Army and the Western Expeditionary Force of the Eighth Route Army, they directly returned to Changchun and gave up the reinforcement of the entire Fengtian City....,

At this moment, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, listening to the violent explosions constantly sounding on the city wall, already showed a desperate look on his face. Because he knew very well in his heart that in the absence of reinforcements, with the thousands of troops that had just been recruited from the expatriates in Fengtian City, it was simply not enough to resist the fierce attack of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves outside the city.

And now, as the commander-in-chief, the only thing Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi can do is to sit in his own headquarters and wait for the tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army outside the city to attack in front of him. Then, in front of the Eighth Route Army, he apologized to His Majesty the Emperor as a samurai.

Just when Lieutenant General Yoshimoto thought that he had just arrived in Tohoku for less than a month, not only did he not establish any industry, but because of his overconfidence, he was about to end his military career. A rush of footsteps reached everyone's ears, and immediately after, a young officer with a face covered in gunpowder smoke and blood all over his body rushed into the headquarters panting, and almost roared at Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, who was sitting in a chair in front of him without saying a word.

"Report to Your Excellency Commander, the troops of the Eighth Route Army outside the city used a large number of large-caliber artillery and tanks to attack the city, and an infantry brigade I held on to the east gate completely collapsed under the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army in less than half an hour... Now, the strength of a regiment of the Eighth Route Army has broken through our fortifications along the breached breach on the city wall and entered the city of Mukden ...."

Regarding the report of the young officer in front of him, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi did not answer immediately, but let out a desperate sneer from his mouth. Then, facing Major General Kuroda in front of him, he ordered with a murderous face.

"Hehe, it's still time to come, it seems that we still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army outside the city. An elite infantry brigade, under the cover of a large number of city fortifications, could not hold out even for half an hour. Order the headquarters and all the personnel in Fengtian City to be issued weapons and prepare for the final street battle with the Eighth Route Army..."

"Hay, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff.," Rear Admiral Kuroda replied affirmatively.

"Also, order the command guard squadron to set off immediately and place explosives in all important military facilities and factories in the city, such as arsenals, logistics bases, and steel mills. After all the troops of the Eighth Route Army entered the city, all these military facilities were blown up...... Even if the troops of the Eighth Route Army occupy the entire Mukden City, I will make the city of Mukden a ruin, so that the Eighth Route Army will not get anything...."Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi ordered.

"Hay, go and give the order right away...",

However, to the surprise of Lieutenant General Sadachi Yoshimoto, it was this evening. When the main forces outside the city launched an attack, the special operations divisions hidden inside the city had already launched attacks on these important military facilities in many ways.

From the beginning of the offensive to now, although it is only more than half an hour. However, this half an hour was enough for more than a thousand special combat personnel to completely occupy these important military facilities and factories.

At this moment, the military facilities mentioned in the order of Lieutenant General Saichi Yoshimoto, without exception, have become the pockets of the special operations division. As for a guard squadron sent by the headquarters, under the blows of 200 special combat personnel, it had already turned into a dead corpse before it could see its combat target.

Outside the city of Mukden, inside the general headquarters of the former enemy of the field army, with the beginning of the general offensive. Commander Liu Hua and Chief of Staff Li Qing, who no longer had any concerns, have been sticking to the lookout of the command headquarters, paying attention to every move on the battlefield. At the same time, they are also anxiously waiting for the good news that the forward troops may send.

Time passed minute by minute, and while the two of them were anxiously waiting, the telegram of the commander of the first column, Sun Xingbang, first appeared in the headquarters of the former enemy.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, Commander Sun of the First Column Good news: The commando of the sixth regiment of the second division, under the cover of a tank company and nine tanks, successfully blew up the walls of Fengtian City. After a bloody battle of 10 minutes, more than 1,500 commanders and fighters of the Sixth Regiment had all broken into Fengtian City. At present, the first column is expanding the breakthrough under the command of Sun Xingbang, allowing more operations, breaking into the city of Mukden and clearing the remnants of the Japanese army in the city. The communications staff officer reported with an excited face.

"Okay, well fought....immediately call back to Commander Sun Xingbang and order the troops to continue to expand the breakthrough and clear all the Japanese troops on the city wall. In addition, in the name of the former enemy headquarters, an order was issued to the Sixth Regiment that broke through into Mukden City: Order all the commanders and fighters of the Sixth Regiment not to have any scruples, and with the cooperation of the special combat personnel in Mukden City, to advance all the way, go straight to the Japanese Supreme Headquarters, and destroy the Japanese command organs..." ,

"Yes, Commander....", the communications staff officer quickly took the order.

And less than a few minutes after the communications staff officer left, an excited voice once again reached everyone's ears.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, Special Operations Division: After half an hour of fighting, all military facilities such as the Mukden Arsenal, the Mukden Logistics Baggage Base, and the Mukden Steel Mill were all occupied by our Special Operations Division. Division Commander Li reported that the Special Operations Division has the ability to ensure the safety of these military facilities and factories until the main force occupies the entire Mukden City, please rest assured..."

After hearing the second telegram, especially after learning that the arsenal that he still coveted, the Fengtian logistics base had become his bag. The smile on Commander Liu Hua's face became even thicker. Nodding with satisfaction, he commanded decisively to the communication staff officer in front of him.

"Call back to the special operations division immediately, and order the special operations division to ensure the safety of all military facilities in the city..."

"Yes, Commander..."

Immediately after that, there was no time for Liu Hua to rest. The telegrams sent from the forward positions appeared one after another in the front enemy headquarters like snowflakes.

In the next half hour, the three main columns, with the assistance of artillery and tank units, rushed into the city of Mukden one after another, and began to engage in the fiercest street battles with the Japanese troops in the city...

Time, in the endless sound of good news in the former enemy headquarters, minute by minute. Just when there was a glimmer of dawn in the eastern sky, the fierce gunfire that rang out for several hours in Mukden City finally stopped slowly as the Japanese headquarters was bombed into ruins under the fierce attack of the Sixth Regiment.

At the same time, a copy of the latest battle report also appeared in Liu Hua's hands. Li Qing, the chief of staff beside him, looked at the battle report in his hand, and said to the commander Liu Hua in front of him, almost with a trembling voice, with an excited face.

"Commander, these are the three commanders plus the commander of the special operations division Liu Xiaogang. After four hours of bloody fighting, the troops successfully occupied the Japanese Supreme Headquarters at 5:40 this morning and killed Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadachi, the Japanese Supreme Commander. At present, a large number of Japanese troops in Mukden City have been wiped out by our army. All the troops entering the city are taking the company as a unit to clear the remaining devil soldiers in the city..."
