Liu Guodong, commander of the Fifth Division, was listening to a report by Deputy Division Commander Wu Chengfeng.

Except for the 1st Regiment and the Tank Regiment directly under the 5th Independent Division, which were stationed in Qiqihar City, the rest of the troops were stationed in various important counties around Qiqihar to assist the local military police in administering the area.

During this time, Wu Chengfeng, on behalf of Liu Guodong, inspected the garrisons of the 5th Independent Division and had just returned.

While the two were talking, a communications soldier ran in in a panic, and he didn't have time to salute, and said, "Division, deputy division, Manchuria urgent." ”

&n&Pig&Pig&Island&Novel{}. {zhuzhu} {dao}. {}bsp; "What?" Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng were taken aback.

"What's going on?" Wu Chengfeng asked.

"The 8th Independent Division sent an urgent telegram for help, and this morning, the Soviet troops suddenly crossed the border to attack our Manchuria garrison, and they used an astonishing number of tanks and planes.

Zhang Shixian, commander of the 8th Independent Division, happened to rush from Hailar to Manchuria to inspect the border defense, but unfortunately was hit by a shell of the Soviet tank unit and died on the spot.

Now Manchuria has been surrounded by Soviet troops, and the Soviet troops have already rushed to Hailar and other places.

Li Dajun, deputy commander of the 8th Independent Division, is leading his troops to defend Manchuria, the situation is extremely critical, and reinforcements are urgently needed. "Signal Soldier said.

"Master Zhang died?" Wu Chengfeng and Liu Guodong looked shocked.

"Master, what should we do?" Wu Chengfeng turned his head and asked urgently.

Liu Guodong pondered for a while and said, "Cheng Feng, we will report the situation to the head seat immediately." ”

"I agree with this, but the situation in Manchuria is critical, and the commander-in-chief is thousands of miles away, and the whip is beyond his reach, I think we should immediately send troops to help Manchuria." Wu Chengfeng said.

"I estimate that this sudden attack of the Soviet army will definitely not attack from Manchuria alone, and the old Maozi of Vladivostok will definitely be dispatched.

We also have to hurry up and inform the 6th and 7th separate divisions to be on alert, just in case. Liu Guodong's voice just fell.

Another communications soldier hurriedly walked in. Salute reported: "Commander, Heihe and Jiamusi are in a hurry. ”

"What's the situation?" Liu Guodong asked.

"The Soviet army crossed the river to attack again, and the Heilongjiang defense line was in an emergency." The Signal Soldier said quickly.

"However, at present, the 6th and 7th Divisions are defending with the assistance of heavy artillery brigades, and have urgently sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief, the purpose of which is to remind us and the 8th Independent Division to guard against the Soviet attack from the Manchuria border."

Liu Guodong and Wu Chengfeng glanced at each other, waved their hands to the two communication soldiers, and motioned for them to leave.

After the communication soldiers left, Liu Guodong said to Wu Chengfeng: "Chengfeng, like this." You first lead a regiment and a tank regiment to join the 3rd Tank Division of the Panzer Army in Hailar, hold Hailar, and contain the offensive momentum of the Soviet army.

I immediately ordered the 2nd Regiment, the 3rd Regiment and other police gendarmerie units to assemble and prepare to resist the Soviets! ”

"Yes!" Wu Chengfeng immediately received the order, saluted and turned to leave.

Manchuria, at this moment, the war is raging here, and the cannon is rumbling.

The whole of Manchuria was shrouded in smoke.

Thousands of Soviet infantry, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, were attacking the Northeast New Army line in Manchuria from all sides.

The two sides launched intensive firepower, and the entire battlefield burst into gunfire, shouting and exploding, and the sound of explosions was deafening.

As the division commander Zhang Shixian was unfortunately hit by a shell. The command of the 8th Independent Division has been taken over by Deputy Division Commander Li Dajun.

"Deputy division commander, Lao Maozi broke through the position of our company from the south, and more than 100 brothers in the company were finished." An officer ran to Li Dajun with a dusty face and reported.

"Immediately organize a counterattack and recapture the position for Lao Tzu. Otherwise, Lao Tzu will shoot you. Li Dajun said angrily.

"However, Deputy Seat, Lao Maozi has sent too many troops this time, and they have already surrounded Manchuria. Will we be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive? "The officer's conviction was somewhat shaken.

"Isn't it a death for so much fucking nonsense? Even if the whole division dies in battle, we cannot surrender. We cannot disgrace the Chinese military. Li Dajun also roared in despair.

"Deputy Division, Deputy Division, 5th Division call back." A communications soldier ran out of the division headquarters and shouted.

"What does the message say?" Li Dajun hurriedly asked.

The signal soldier replied: "The 5th Division said that Deputy Division Commander Wu Chengfeng and Wu have personally led reinforcements to open out, and I hope we will hold on to the end, and they will arrive as soon as possible." ”

"Alright, I got it." Li Dajun waved his hand to the signal soldiers.

After the signal soldier was ordered to leave, Li Dajun said to the officer: "Battalion Commander Sun, I order you to organize your troops immediately and recapture the lost position at all costs, otherwise, come and see you!" ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant colonel battalion commander surnamed Sun suddenly agreed, turned around and left.

Dalian Front, Jinxian Northeast New Army Headquarters.

"Commander, take a look at this." Chief of Staff Jiang Baili frowned and put the two telegrams in front of Zhang Xinghan.

"What is this?" Zhang Xinghan asked suspiciously.

"The Soviet army suddenly launched another attack on our border defense line from the east and west early this morning, and this is an urgent telegram sent by various border guards." Jiang Baili said.

"What?" Zhang Xinghan hurriedly picked up a telegram and asked while reading it, "What's the situation?" ”

"The situation of the defense line along the river in the east is fine, but in the direction of Hulunbuir, Zhang Shixian, the commander of the 8th Independent Division, was unfortunately martyred, and the situation is more critical." Jiang Baili's tone revealed a solemn voice.

Zhang Xinghan put down the telegram in his hand and said, "It seems that Lao Maozi is obviously prepared this time, and he will really pick the opportunity." ”

"Commander, what shall we do? The main forces were all engaged in the attack on Dalian, and the battle of the Lushun fortress was about to start, and the Soviets obviously wanted to avenge the last arrow. Jiang Baili said.

"Dalian must be taken, if we miss today, I don't know what year and month it will be in the future, and if we don't take Dalian, there will be endless troubles, if we go north to resist the Soviet Union, the Japanese will stab them in the back.

Two flanking attacks with the Soviets can drag our army down just by being tired, so Dalian must fight down. Zhang Xinghan said resolutely.

"What about Beiman? We have less than 100,000 men, and I am afraid that we will not be able to keep the enemy and the country out. Jiang Baili said.

"To send electricity to Liu Guodong and them, there is no need to rigidly defend the national border, but to flexibly use tactics, let the enemy go deep, exchange space for time, and disperse the enemy's forces.

Organize local people and police to coordinate with the troops to take advantage of various dangerous terrain passes to fight one after another.

At the latest, half a month later, my main force can go north for reinforcements! Zhang Xinghan groaned.

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send them a message right away." ”

Command of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

"General, good news, my diplomat has transmitted the news that the Soviets have attacked North Manchuria." Koiso Kuniaki said excitedly with a message in his hand.

"Nani? The Soviets began to attack North Manchu? Ryokara was taken aback and said, "What's the matter, isn't the Soviet army unwilling to cooperate with us to fight against the Northeast New Army." ”

Okamura Ninji said on the side: "Your Excellency, at this time and that time, now that we have been fighting with the Northeast New Army for several months, both sides have reached the point of exhaustion.

It is not surprising that the Soviets chose to send troops at this time. ”

"yes." Koiso Kuniaki rarely agreed with Okamura Ninji, and nodded: "According to intelligence, the Soviets have gathered more than 500,000 troops in the Far East this time, with nearly 1,000 tanks and combat vehicles, thousands of artillery pieces of various kinds, and more than 500 aircraft.

It seems that he is determined to take revenge with one arrow and capture North Manchuria. ”

Hearing this, Ryokari suddenly nodded with a smile and said, "Yo Xi, in this way, the Northeast New Army is suffering from the enemy, it should be an excellent opportunity for us to turn the tables, right?" ”

Okamura Ninji answered: "What the general said is extremely true, if the Soviet army can really capture the entire North Manchuria, then the foundation of the Northeast New Army will be lost.

At that time, our reinforcements should also arrive, take advantage of the situation to counterattack, and we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and recapture the South Manchurian region. ”

"However, all of this establishes that we must withstand the attack of the Chinese and hold the fortress of Arthur before North Manchuria is captured by the Soviets and our reinforcements arrive, otherwise everything is empty talk."

Ryokari stood up confidently and said, "We still have 100,000 troops, if we can't hold the fortress of Arthur, you and I should judge ourselves to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor." (To be continued......)
