At Ivanov's mine-laying meeting, two kilometers away, several Japanese soldiers were in the trenches using binoculars to observe the Soviet Union's Poshet Plain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The leader is a tall Japanese soldier Shaozuo, with a bandage on one arm, he is Yu Tian Zhenji, the captain of the border garrison of the 76th Infantry Wing who commanded the night attack yesterday. It turned out that his unit was directly under the command of the Korean Army, but the day before yesterday it was assigned to the establishment of the 19th Division and belonged to the 79th Infantry Wing. Now his boss, the commander of the 76th Wing, Oshirodo Sanji Daisa, is gathering troops in Hongyi-ri and preparing to support Shacao Peak in the afternoon.

Yu Tian Zhenji was very happy about this change in construction: in this way, his troops were no longer the border guards who were gossiped about and looked down upon in the army, and now they were the standing army of the empire. Although it still bears the name of the "Border Garrison Force," it is estimated that it will be reorganized after the battle.

"Only patrolling, not fighting?! Hum! Lao Tzu still took the positions of the Soviet army! Looking at the plain in front of him, Yu Tian Zhenji was full of pride: last night's attack should be the starting point of his brilliant career.

"Kazama-kun, you see that there seem to be traces of troop movements on the plain ahead, and it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle today."

Eiji Kazama on the side is the company commander of the ragtag company that supported Shacao Peak in the early morning, and now his men are desperately digging trenches to repair fortifications. As soon as I heard Shao Zuo talking to himself, "Yu Tianjun, now we have more than 500 people combined, and I also brought a machine gun platoon, so it is not a problem to hold the position." By the time the reinforcements arrive, the fertile plains ahead will be the territory of our Imperial Japan! Ha ha! ”

"Well said, Kazama-kun, it was wishful thinking for the Soviets to retake positions from us. Kazama-kun, I don't know if those Manchurians under your command can be relied on? ”

"It should be no problem, these Manchurian soldiers have been training with the soldiers of the empire for almost a year, and their combat effectiveness is still okay. Of course, they can't compare to the samurai of the Empire. ”

Eiji Kazama had no choice but to bring such a motley unit: the Manchurians accounted for more than half of the second infantry regiment in Jilin City, and even the number of his own troops was named after the establishment of the Manchurian army, and the top had already sent the best troops to himself. Just like the machine gun platoon led by Second Lieutenant Katsuzaburo Akihara is the only machine gun platoon in the regiment composed entirely of Japanese soldiers.

Eiji Kazama knew in his heart that the army in his hand could not be compared with Yu Tian Zhenji's troops, but he couldn't weaken his reputation. Besides, he came here to cooperate, and as soon as the battle is over, it may be sent to the regular troops of the Kwantung Army, and there is no need to mess around in the current third-rate troops.

After observing the movement ahead for a while, several Japanese officers turned back to supervise the construction of the fortifications. Seeing that the soldiers dug trenches and communication ditches in a very tactical way, Yu Tian Zhenji was very happy.

"This is the best soldier in the Empire, he fights tenaciously and has other skills."

After inspecting the position for a while, Yu Tian Zhenji was about to return to his headquarters when he saw the signal soldiers hurriedly running towards him: "Report to the captain, a large number of Soviet troops suddenly appeared in the pine forest five kilometers away from us on the plain ahead. ”

Yu Tian Zhenji and several Japanese officers hurriedly ran to the front of the position.

Eiji Kazama felt a chill in his back: there were two to three thousand Soviet troops in front of him, and what made him even more frightened was that there were dozens of tanks in front of the Soviet infantry.

Yu Tian Zhenji's face was gloomy, he was not afraid of the thousands of Soviet troops, but it did not have decent anti-tank firepower in its hands, not even a single flat-fire artillery. The three latest Type 97 81mm mortars that had been issued a few months ago were the three latest Type 97 81mm mortars that could be counted on on the whole position, and a dozen Type 89 grenadiers could be counted on - but none of these guys could deal with the tanks.

The most fatal position was a gentle slope on the side facing the Soviet Union, which could not be an obstacle to the attack of the tanks, and time did not allow it to dig anti-tank trenches, and some of his soldiers had not even seen tanks!

"Prepare cluster grenades and explosives packs! Fast! Yu Tian Zhenji roared there, "Immediately contact the wing command, a large number of Soviet troops appeared in front of our position, more than one regiment of infantry, and about 40 tanks!" ”

"Warriors of the Empire, for the sake of the Emperor and the glory of the Great Japanese Empire, we must hold our ground! Find two volunteers per squad and destroy the enemy's tanks on time! Yu Tian Zhenji had no choice but to order to prepare a **** attack.

Some young Japanese soldiers clamored for people on the side to tie grenades to themselves: Before the battle began, many Japanese soldiers were already encouraging each other: "See you at the Yasukuni Shrine!" ”

Just when the Japanese army was making intense preparations, the Soviet troops on the plain stopped more than three kilometers away from the Japanese positions -- the Soviet troops were preparing for the Japanese artillery bombardment: You must know that the units at the level of the Japanese army brigade generally have Type 92 infantry guns, and if they are fired from the top of the mountain, this distance is just too much to hit. The officers of the 40th Infantry Division, who commanded the attack, did not know that their opponents did not even have a Type 92 infantry gun.

"Yu Tianjun, what are the Russians waiting for?" Eiji Kazama asked.

"Probably waiting for their fire support." Yu Tian Zhenji said.

"Fire support?!" Yu Tian Zhenji suddenly reminded his words, "The Soviet army will definitely prepare for artillery fire, but their troops have no place to hide on the top of the slope, fortunately, those trenches are still up to standard, so I count on them." ”

"Beware of the shelling of the Russians!"

Just as it was shouting, Eiji Kazama, who was on the side, reminded it: "The Russians' plane! ”

Following the direction of Eiji Kazama's finger, Yu Tian Zhenji saw a group of bombers flying over in black.

The Japanese troops on the ground could only stare dryly into the air, and they did not have any anti-aircraft weapons.

"Watch out for air strikes!"

The black bomb fell like a hen laying eggs on the summit of Shacao Peak, and the bomb dropped from a height of 1,000 meters hit with extremely high accuracy. The 120 bombs and solidified ****** dropped by 30 SB-2 bombers all hit the target area, and a sea of fire suddenly broke out on Shacao Peak.

Eiji Kazama no longer had to shout and command the troops: a 250-kilogram explosive bomb fell at a distance of less than 5 meters, destroying a trench tens of meters long, and the Japanese troops within a radius of 50 meters immediately lost their combat effectiveness - either they were blown up on the spot and their flesh was blurred or they were blown up to seven holes and bled out, and only a few lucky ones were only dizzy by the huge air wave and sound! (In some film and television dramas, the protagonist is hit by an aerial bomb at close range, and he is still walking like a fly, which is purely the obscenity of third-rate directors.) Friends who have really seen the power of 250 kg of aerial bombs know that if a bomb of this level explodes at a distance of 50 meters from them, it will be true that the ancestors have burned high incense. ）

Due to the low bombing altitude and the small target of the cluster, the aircraft group used surface cover bombing, which is a bit like the carpet bombing used by the US military in the Vietnam War, but on a smaller scale. Demolition shells destroyed trench fortifications. The solidification that fell at the same time became a nightmare for ******the Japanese army - a Manchurian soldier who ran back to the rear later recalled that he and two others had been sent to the foot of the mountain to fetch water and were about to return to their positions. As soon as I climbed halfway up the mountain, I saw that the entire position above was covered with explosions and fires, and the flames were dozens of battles high. The three of them immediately ran back, which saved a small life.

Immediately after dropping bombs, the bomber group turned around and returned to Vladivostok. At this time, the Japanese army was in flames on the position, and it was estimated that there were very few people who could survive.

After seeing the situation of the Japanese troops through the telescope, the Soviets were still in no hurry to attack - the artillery of the 40th Infantry Division spoke. They had been hiding in positions in the pine forest, and at the very beginning of the bombardment, artillery tractors used steel cables to pull down a large number of half-sawn pine trees, clearing the firing obstacles.

After 15 minutes of rapid fire, a large number of 76.2 mm and 152 mm shells whizzed towards the Japanese positions.

Just as the artillery behind them spoke, tanks and infantry launched a general assault on the Japanese positions in multiple assault triangles.

、、、、、、

The Khabarovsk bomber group had already taken off before the planes at the Vladivostok airfield took off, flying from the sea to several targets in North Korea after the planes that took off from the Ussuri Bay and Ussuriysk airfields outside Vladivostok.

Although all the groups took off at different times, they had one thing in common - they would launch bombardments against targets at exactly 2 p.m. sharp. They have enough fighters to escort them, so they don't have to worry about the threat of Japanese fighters, and the only thing to do is to accurately drop the bomb on the target's head.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a group of Soviet bombers appeared in the sky over Gumosan, Maoshan, and Hongyi-ri at the same time, and Odaka Kamizo, who was in the temporary headquarters, heard the explosion of the bomb and knew that there was an air raid. At that time, he and the chief of staff, Major General Yoshida, were discussing the need for a new chief of staff of the division, who was to be transferred back to the Japanese mainland after the battle, and it was said that the new chief of staff was a large man named Miaki Nakasmura.

As soon as Yoshida heard the sound of the bomb explosion, he advised the division commander to find a place to hide, but Odaka Turtle hid there and shouted: "The imperial soldiers will never hide in the vegetable cellars of the Koreans because of the bombing!" ”

Yoshida tried to pull it hard to hide, but its thin body couldn't pull the cow with a tail. A few seconds later, the two-story building where the headquarters was located was hit by a bomb at close range: Otaka Kamizo no longer had to argue with his chief of staff about whether the drill cellar had lost his identity - before nightfall, the remnants of the Japanese army and Korean laborers who had cleaned up the rubble after the bombing had finally found their test questions from the rubble of the Provisional Headquarters: it could be seen that the little Yoshida had been suffocated to death; And the tail turtle is now happy to be dead—a collapsed cement slab smashes its head like a broken watermelon.
