Gegen Temple is located on the left bank of the Taoer River, 30 kilometers southeast of Lao Ye Temple, at the foot of the southern slope of Taolaitu Mountain. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info from Gegen Temple to the east, the terrain gradually flattened, to Ping'an, platform and other places that officially enter the fertile Northeast Plain.

The Japanese army deployed three ** mixed brigades and three divisions of puppet troops in the Gegenmiao area, with a total strength of nearly 100,000. The commander of the Fourth Army of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Tatsumi Kusaba, knew that it would be purely self-defeating to confront the Anjia Army in the plain area, so he gathered heavy troops here and prepared to complete the battle.

At present, the devils in Tao'an, Zhendong, Taonan and other towns east of Gegen Temple have been evacuated, either westward to Laotou Mountain and Enge Mountain to deploy defenses, or to the south to withdraw to Liaozhong.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the northeast sky in midsummer was already bright.

Lao Ye Temple is the Ulanhot of later generations, because the third generation of the Qing Dynasty Zasaktu County King Ozier established a family temple here, it is located at the southern foot of the Great Xing'an Mountains, the hinterland of the Horqin grassland, is the throat of the Northeast Plain.

In the headquarters, it was busy. Staff officers were waiting in front of the telephone, urgently contacting the front-line troops to verify the specific location of the troops.

Gu Changfeng was dressed in camouflage summer clothes, standing in front of the map and quietly watching, when the chief of staff Gao Guodong reminded him that the time for the general attack had come, he walked out of the command headquarters, took the binoculars from the guards, and carefully watched the situation in the southeast.

"Whoa—"

A rain of fire meteors suddenly appeared from the horizon, like thousands of troops, rushing towards the distant sky, almost in the blink of an eye, the position of the Japanese army in the southeast and the mountains behind it, a large ball of fireballs, black and red pillars of fire jumped into the sky, billowing thick smoke everywhere.

The black smoke from howitzers, cannon shells, and rockets was still filling, and a row of shells landed and exploded a series of fireballs, and countless black and red flames were connected, and the earth became a churning sea of fire.

in the telescope. The fortifications built by the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain collapsed one after another, the light and dark pillboxes flew into the sky, and the trenches were filled in, and almost in the blink of an eye, they were completely unrecognizable.

Not to be outdone, the Japanese began to mobilize artillery to return fire.

Dense shells rained down on the starting positions of the An Jiajun army, sending fireballs of all sizes, black smoke rushing into the air, and billowing heat waves raging everywhere.

Because at this time, the tanks, armored vehicles and infantry of the Anjia Army participating in the offensive did not enter the front-line position. Thus, the Japanese shelling, although it looked spectacular, had little effect, because the shelling revealed the location of its artillery positions.

A wave of bombers appeared at the right time and rushed towards the Japanese artillery position, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Japanese artillery was cleanly cleaned up by dozens of B2 dive bombers, and the Japanese artillery fire quickly fell silent.

The artillery bombardment of the An Jiajun lasted more than forty minutes, and the Japanese positions were ravaged to pieces. It's like the surface of the moon.

At this time, the attacking troops entered the starting position. (Updated with the latest chapters of the book)

Lieutenant General Xiao Wu, a tank soldier dressed in a black tank uniform, poked his head out of the Tiger I tank and glanced at the dense group of tanks and armored fighting vehicles behind him, with a proud look on his face.

Almost all the commanders poked their heads out and looked at the young lieutenant general who was in command on the front line, waiting for him to give the order to attack.

The artillery fire gradually thinned out. Xiao Wu looked at his watch. Shouted into the microphone: "Tankmen, forward!" ”

The radio waves transmitted Xiao Wu's orders to all combat units, and a loud charge horn sounded, and a deafening shout of killing came from heaven and earth.

Xiao Wu retracted his head and lowered the top cover, and then the Tiger I tank began to start, the high-power diesel engine let out a huge roar, and a puff of green smoke erupted from behind his buttocks, and then took the lead. Rush out of the starting position.

In the Japanese headquarters located in the bunker on the top of the Eng Mountain, the commander of the Japanese Fourth Army, Lieutenant General Tatsumi Kusaba, said to a room of generals:

"The opponent we are facing is the most elite Gu Changfeng division in the Chinese army, which caused huge casualties to our imperial army during the battle of Shanghai in 32 and the Great Wall in 33! After the 77 Incident and the 813 Incident in Shanghai, this unit brought us great shame!

"Just last year, the Malay army of the empire also encountered this enemy. Sink into the sand! Today, we will count the old and new hatreds together, and we will use the blood of the people of China to wash away the great shame suffered by the imperial team! ”

"Hey—"

All the Japanese took off their military caps and wrapped white ribbons on their foreheads with the words "Holy War Victory" written on them.

Although it is known that the prospects for this battle are not optimistic. However, Kusaba Tatsumi has learned from the experience of fighting against the An Jiajun in the past and organized a huge number of warlords. There is zero tolerance for any act of abandoning the position and being passive and fearful of war, regardless of official position, and can be killed on the spot without any reason.

"Go ahead! Only by repelling the people of China will we have a way to live, otherwise we will see you at the Yasukuni Shrine! ”

Speaking of this, Kusaba Tatsumi bowed deeply, and after returning the salute, the full house of generals bowed back, and walked out of the headquarters one after another, rushing to the position he was responsible for.

On the front-line position, the gray-faced devil soldiers pulled each other out of the soil, they spit out the mud and sand in their mouths, and then found their weapons in the mud, and set up machine guns in the trenches that were blown up with holes, and the grenadier soldiers were also in place, and most of the devil soldiers were lying in the trenches, holding Type 38 rifles, ready to face the battle.

On the horizon ahead, countless small black dots appeared, the earth trembled slightly, and strange sounds came from the whole heaven and earth.

A devil captain couldn't figure out what it was, picked up the binoculars and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he muttered: "Is this the legendary invincible chariot unit of the An Jia Army?" One, two, three days, I forgot where to count, so many tanks, how can I resist? ”

In last year's "special exercise," the eight chariot divisions formed by Senior General Yamashita Fumi, commander of the First Front Army of the Kwantung Army, were invincible, leaving a deep impression on the officers and men of the devils who watched the exercise and the documentary film. At present, except for the First Armored Division of the Kwantung Army, which remained in southern Liaoning, the rest of the tank units are still fighting in North America, and the Fourth Army has only one tank brigade equipped with more than 90 old tanks.

The terrifying roar sounded from far to near, and thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and other combat vehicles, lined up in a triangular formation, rushed at high speed, and it was the Tiger I tank with thick skin and flesh that rushed to the front.

Behind the Tiger I tank. There are even more Leopard II tanks, followed by the I assault gun and the Type III armored fighting vehicle. Numerous armored personnel carriers followed, and at the rear of the mechanized army were a large number of 120mm and 150mm self-propelled artillery vehicles.

The self-propelled guns stopped abruptly on the way forward, and on the orders of the artillery commander, they raised their artillery fire one after another and opened fire on the positions of the Japanese troops.

Almost in the blink of an eye, one by one, the high muzzles of the guns spitted out scarlet, orange fireballs. Dense shells rushed into the sky with the explosion of gunpowder gas, and with a sharp whistling sound, they fell fiercely on the Japanese positions!

The Japanese were caught off guard, and before they could hide, the shells with a loud whistling sound had already touched the ground and exploded, and a series of large and small fireballs rose from the ground, billowing smoke was still rising, and another row of shells was whistling. A fireball that followed. Stumps and severed arms, gun parts, and dirt and rocks flew out one after another, and groups of devil soldiers were blown to pieces by the cannonballs that fell on their heads and faces.

The tanks charging in front did not stop their advance due to the shelling of their own propelled guns, and it did not take long to approach the defensive positions constructed by the Japanese troops at the bottom of the hillside. Dozens of 37 anti-aircraft guns were pushed out by the devil soldiers, braving artillery fire, aiming at the charging tanks and starting to shoot.

It is very obvious that the anti-tank information of the Japanese army is not symmetrical. Armor-piercing shells fired from a 37mm anti-tank gun. Hitting the surface of the Tiger I tank, it had no effect, and even the Leopard II tank only left a white mark and bounced off.

The tank group of the Anjia Army, unscathed, continued to advance towards the Japanese positions.

The artillery fire of the Japanese counterattack attracted the attention of the Tiger I and Leopard II tanks on the march, and a row of dense explosions sounded, and 105mm cannon shells rained down on the Japanese positions.

Hundreds of No. 10 assault guns stopped firing one after another. 75mm cannon shells poured down overwhelmingly on the Japanese positions, accurately hitting the battle defense artillery positions, and a continuous explosion sounded on the ground, and those 37 battle defense guns that had just fired shells disintegrated in the explosion.

In the burst fireball, shards of steel flew in all directions. Tear the panicked and evasive devil artillery into a blur of flesh and blood.

At this time, the tank had already rushed to the perimeter of the devil's trench, and the devil hiding in the position fired at the approaching tank in panic, but whether it was a machine gun or a rifle, the bullet hit the armor and fired a little spark. And the small grenades thrown by the grenadiers fell on the surface of the tank and exploded, and shrapnel flew out. There is no threat to tanks.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng stuffed the binoculars into the guards' hands, turned around and returned to the command headquarters, Gao Guodong thought that Gu Changfeng was not satisfied with the progress of the battle, and hurriedly caught up with Gu Changfeng and walked side by side:

"The battle line is too narrow, the troops can't use it at all, this offensive only used two tank divisions of the Fifth Tank Army, two armored infantry divisions and four ** heavy tank regiments, it's good to have such a play! As long as you enter the Northeast Plain, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea, let us gallop! ”

Gu Changfeng knew that Gao Guodong had misunderstood what he meant, and said as he walked: "Our combat order has been issued, and how to fight depends on the commander's on-the-spot performance, I am very confident in Xiao Wu." Instead of wasting time watching the big drama here, you should think about what will happen after kicking out the stubborn enemy in front of you and entering the plains!

"According to the air force reconnaissance, the devils are withdrawing troops to the central Liaoning region in great strides, and the defense of Changchun and the surrounding areas is very empty at present. I was thinking that the headquarters meant to let us attack Liaozhong as soon as possible, but it did not explicitly prohibit us from recovering Jilin, especially Changchun. Lao Gao, think about it, if we send a surprise soldier all the way from the Changtao Railway to Changchun and arrest Puyi's gang, how much encouragement do you say will it give to the morale of the army? ”

Gao Guodong was stunned for a moment: "Isn't attacking Changchun the task of the First Army?" Let's do it on our behalf, I'm afraid General Ye Cheng will not be happy! ”

"What if you're not happy?"

Gu Changfeng waved his hand: "Who let them be far away and we are close?" From the north to the south, along the way there are many rivers, I expect it will take at least half a month for them to arrive in Changchun, when the people are gone, and there is a fart harvest! Even if we divide two or three divisions, it is enough to make the group of grandsons who founded Manchukuo understand that there are some things that cannot be done, and if they are done, they will have to pay a heavy price! ”

Gao Guodong pondered for a while, two or three divisions really had little impact, and immediately said: "I support the commander's opinion, but it is better to call Political Commissar Yang and Deputy Commander Xie, let's sum it up and don't leave a handle for others!" ”

"Okay!"

Gu Changfeng looked at his watch: "Xie Chi is in Arshan at this time, organizing military supplies, and coordinating with sappers to urgently repair more than 50 kilometers of railways, it is unlikely that he will attend the meeting, Yang Guan left Sauron and went south, it is expected that he can arrive with the main force of the army at noon, and it is estimated that the front will also be taken down, and it is just a meeting to coordinate the various departments."
