Chapter 590 The general attack begins
It was bright and the top of Maoshan Mountain.
Yesterday during the day, Zhang Yunfei watched the mountain top for almost a day, mainly watching the situation outside Jinzhou. Zhang Yunfei is quite familiar with the situation in Jinzhou.
After several days of fierce fighting, all the fortifications of the Japanese outside Jinzhou were destroyed or occupied by the soldiers. The Japanese Jinzhou troops had been killed by 30,000 to 40,000, of which the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade was wiped out, and the Japanese Jinzhou Airport was also taken down.
After a few days of battle, the Japanese were killed and killed 30,000 to 40,000, and the remaining tens of thousands of Japanese were all retreated to Jinzhou City last night. The Japanese were preparing to resist with the strong city walls.
Last night, Zhang Yunfei spent the night at the temporary command center on the top of Maoshan Mountain. Early this morning, Zhang Yunfei, accompanied by Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi, came to the outside of the command center early, standing on the top of the mountain, looking at Jinzhou City in the distance.
"Report to the Chief! Call from the Tiger Mountain Front."
A correspondent came over quickly with a telegram and stood attentively and reported to Zhang Yunfei.
This was a good news from the two infantry divisions in the area of Tiger Mountain that blocked the Japanese devils. After reading the telegram, Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Comrades! We also won a great victory in the area of Tiger Mountain. The Japanese reinforced the two divisions of Jinzhou have been almost wiped out by us. Only a few thousand Japanese devils have escaped. The senior executives of the Japanese devils' two divisions were also wiped out by the soldiers."
After hearing Zhang Yunfei's words, Comrade Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Column, and Comrade Sun Chuanzhi, commander of the 8th Column, both of them were filled with joy. Such a big victory was achieved by the infantry division of their own column.
Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone and then said, "Our defense line in the area of Tiger Mountain is solid, and we can safely encircle and annihilate the Japanese in Jinzhou."
Upon hearing this, everyone was full of expectations. They were looking forward to the liberation of Jinzhou.
Now, the highlands such as Fortress Mountain, Shuangshanzi West Mountain, Hanwangdian South Mountain, Zijing Mountain, Liangma Mountain and other outside Jinzhou City have all been occupied by the soldiers. Outside Jinzhou City, the soldiers have completed the encirclement.
The Japanese devils' tens of thousands of defeated soldiers rely on Xiaoling River, Daughter River and city walls to form the main position; the tall buildings in the city, Jiaotong University, Japanese puppet shrine, Zhongwen Company, and the old city form the core capital of the inner city, and the Japanese devils are ready to resist stubbornly.
Zhang Yunfei held the telescope and looked down from a high place. Looking at the Jinzhou City in the distance, Zhang Yunfei could even vaguely see many Japanese figures on the walls of Jinzhou City.
Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch. It was already past seven in the morning. It would not take long before, at 8 in the morning, four columns and hundreds of cannons would be bombarded from four directions towards the walls of Jinzhou City.
At this time, outside Jinzhou City, several huge artillery positions, and huge groups of heavy artillery were ready, and rows of black holes aimed at the city walls in the distance.
At exactly 8 o'clock in the morning, the 36th Army began to bombard the city heavily.
In the four directions outside Jinzhou City, the sound of firing fires sounded at the same time. In the sky, a large number of sharp whistling sounds were heard, and the soldiers began firing fires at Jinzhou City.
Hundreds of cannons fired together and bombarded the city walls and main fortifications in order to open the gaps and facilitate the soldiers to enter the city.
All around Jinzhou City, one or two kilometers away from the city wall, and less than one thousand meters away, many soldiers were ready to go, many tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles were ready to enter the designated position, and when the shelling was over, the soldiers would attack the city along the gap in the city wall.
On the walls of Jinzhou City, a large number of Japanese devils were facing a great enemy. Many machine guns had been set up, and even a lot of mortars, grenade launchers and other weapons were also set up on the walls.
All the fortifications on the periphery were destroyed, and the Japanese knew that the soldiers of the 36th Army outside the city would sooner or later attack the city.
On the city wall, there were a large number of Japanese devils, many Japanese officers, and in many places, Japanese devils had built fortifications. Some tall buildings in the city were also occupied by Japanese devils, and Japanese devils also made the worst plans.
As long as Jinzhou City is broken through, the Japanese are ready for big street battles.
Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers came faintly in the distance, and a large number of sharp whistling sounds sounded in the sky. Many experienced Japanese devils immediately knew what was going on.
"Not good! The heavy artillery group of the 36th Army fired."
Seeing this, many Japanese Japanese squatted down quickly, hurriedly hurriedly hid behind sandbags, or behind battlements, holding their heads tightly in their hands, trying to avoid the bombardment of cannons.
Before the Japanese were ready, the overwhelming shells hit and made a shocking loud noise, dense explosions, or near the city walls.
North of the city.
The situation in the north of the city is similar to that in several other directions. The dense explosions have already sounded on the city walls. With the explosions, many Japanese devils were blown into the sky.
On the city wall, some machine guns set up by the Japanese, and even the Japanese, Type 38 rifles, were thrown high with the air waves generated by the explosion, flying out of the city wall, and falling on both sides of the city wall.
Among these cannons, many are 155mm howitzers. Whether they are 105mm howitzers or 155mm howitzers, they are all powerful. Every explosion, many Japanese killed.
The Japanese who were standing on the city wall were basically completely damaged by the artillery bombardment in the first ten minutes. The city wall was already dilapidated, with Japanese corpses everywhere, and then there were scattered weapons, mixed with a large number of Japanese silences' broken limbs and arms.

The top of Maoshan Mountain.
As the shelling began, Zhang Yunfei was excited to hold the telescope and look at the shelling situation in the north of the city. He saw that under the violent shelling, the Japanese on the city wall were basically killed and injured.
Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Okay! That's great!"
Next to Zhang Yunfei, Chu Tianming and Sun Chuanzhi were happy to see Commander-in-Chief Zhang saying goodbye, because the artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades that were shot north of the city were basically the artillery regiments and heavy artillery brigades of the 6th and 8th columns.
"Commander-in-Chief, our shelling is too sharp. Although the city walls of Jinzhou have been reinforced by the Japanese, it is estimated that it will never last for half an hour."
Chu Tianming, who graduated from Huangpu, had a relatively vicious eye. Seeing such 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 many heavy guns with a caliber of 155 mm. I guess some places have begun to crack in the walls of Jinzhou City."
Zhang Yunfei's estimate was completely correct. With such intensive shelling, several sections of the city walls in the north of the city had cracked and seemed to be crumbling and could collapse at any time.
As the shelling continued, Zhang Yunfei and others stood on the top of Maoshan Mountain. Through the telescope, they finally saw that several walls in the north of the city had begun to collapse. As the shelling continued, the collapse of these walls seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
"Commander-in-Chief! Look there, a long section of the city wall has collapsed!"
Sun Chuanzhi, the commander of the 8th Column who had not spoken, saw a wall of at least two or three hundred meters collapsed under the violent shelling, and immediately shouted happily.
Zhang Yunfei looked in the direction Sun Chuanzhi pointed, and saw that a long section of the city wall had collapsed, and the dense shelling continued to bombard the collapsed section of the city wall.
Zhang Yunfei saw that under the dense shelling, this collapsed city wall was blown up a lot in just a few minutes. If this continues, in just a few minutes, the city wall will be basically blown up. At that time, whether it is an off-road vehicle, tank or armored vehicle, you can drive in along these collapsed city walls.
The shelling continued.
The city walls outside Jinzhou City collapsed one after another, revealing huge gaps. Outside the city, many soldiers preparing to attack, saw the city walls in the distance, and bursts of cheers burst out.
Many soldiers were eager to try and couldn't help but wait for the cannon to stop, and they would launch a general attack as soon as the sound of cannons stopped.
At 8:30 in the morning, half an hour after the shelling, the soldiers began to extend the shelling, extending hundreds of meters to the inner side of the city wall.
On the inside of the city wall, the Japanese built a lot of fortifications, and there were also many Japanese there. The Japanese planned that after the 36th Army broke through the city wall, fortunately, the inside of the city wall blocked the soldiers into the city.
As for the people within hundreds of meters inside the city wall, there are no ordinary people in this area now, and there are not many houses in this area. As the battle begins, the people have already run away.
With the extension of artillery bombardment and the dense shelling of the inner wall, some fortifications built by the Japanese on the inside of the city wall suddenly collapsed. Many Japanese on the Japanese saw this and saw that the situation was not good, they retreated into the city one after another.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the entire hour of shelling finally ended.
The cannon sound suddenly stopped, and the soldiers who had been ready outside the city let out a shocking cry and began to launch a general attack on Jinzhou City.
The four major columns, from all directions, launched a huge offensive, launching attacks on the remaining two and 30,000 Japanese soldiers in Jinzhou City. After the shelling, there were only two and 30,000 Japanese soldiers left. Many Japanese soldiers were already dead in the fierce shelling just now.
After the street fighting begins, these two and 30,000 Japanese soldiers will face nearly 200,000 soldiers of the 36th Army.
