Ulan-Ude shrouded in the silver glow of the moon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The battle had been going on for a day and a night, and as the gunfire in the early hours of the morning gradually thinned out, as long as they were not on the front line of the battle, the sleepy Japanese troops could still sleep soundly even on the battlefield full of dangers.

Suddenly, several flares emitted a blazing white light over the position, sending every trench,

Every tent and every building was pulled out of the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a huge number of artillery groups of the Anjia Army began to exert their might, and batch after batch of shells were smashed down with a momentum more fierce than hail, jumping and bursting on all streets, buildings, and barricades in the city, and the flames covered people's sight, and the pungent smell of gunpowder quickly spread.

The devil soldiers on the battlefield were awakened by the loud explosion, they curled up, held their heads, and honestly stayed in the buildings or at the bottom of the barricades made of sandbags, enduring the ravages of bullets, and from time to time shells hit directly, blowing up a piece of stumps and broken arms.

Surprisingly, the shelling of the An Jiajun lasted only a quarter of an hour before it came to an abrupt end.

The devil officers and soldiers with Lou Chen's faces looked up at the moon hanging in the middle of the sky, secretly rejoicing, but then cheered up and were vigilant against the possible offensive launched by the An Jiajun.

As the shouts of killing came from far to near, the cannons hidden in the middle of the building began to wield, and one after another the shells fell to the front of the Japanese position, but nothing was found.

After a few minutes, only shouts of killing were heard, but no one was seen, and the army realized that they had been deceived, and the artillery fire quickly fell silent.

Just when the devils relaxed their vigilance, a Leopard II tank suddenly came out of the middle of the ruins of several collapsed buildings, and when the devils' guard post found it, they opened fire as soon as possible, followed by a huge roar when the shell shot out of the barrel.

It's a pity that the shells fired by the Japanese anti-tank weapons deviated from the target, and the Leopard 44 tank in the shape of Lu bombarded it, and immediately bombarded the 75mm anti-aircraft gun half-hidden in the bunker into scrap metal!

In the impression of the devil, the tank group of the An Jiajun is like a wolf pack, and under normal circumstances, it rumbles all over the mountains and fields, and immediately raises its vigilance, and sure enough, it finds that there are many shadows in the distance.

Although these tanks did not press the positions of the Japanese army too much, the flames of the guns flashing in the shadows still made the devils roughly guess their number, and their hearts sank.

Seeing this, Junshiro Koizumi, the commander of the Japanese army guarding the high ground northwest of the city, hurriedly picked up the phone and said loudly: "Commander, just north of the defense line, we have found a tank group of the Anjia Army, at least thirty of them, and an unknown number of armored vehicles to cooperate with the battle, and they are advancing towards our position!" We need fire support, we need fire support! Major General Sasaki, commander of the Ulan-Ude city defense, shouted angrily: "Baga! Don't panic, Ulan-Ude has been repeatedly built by the Russians, it is both a city and a fortress, and it is not so easy to conquer! General Guan Guizhi took a lot of artillery with him when he retreated, and I don't have any extra artillery fire here, you must figure it out yourself."

"Boom"

A shell fell close, and at a distance of less than 1,500 meters, the Mao-44 tank was extremely high, and the gunners were aiming at the fire on the Japanese position, one by one.

Koizumi Shaozo, who was wearing a steel helmet, held the microphone and looked at the place where the shell exploded with a worried face, the two devil soldiers who operated the machine gun with their weapons were gone, and there were two unlucky eggs in the barricade next to him who fell in a pool of blood, one of them spitting blood and muttering "Mom" in his mouth.

All the devil soldiers who had fought against the Anjia Army were sincerely afraid of the impact of the Anjia Army's tank cluster, 1 Koizumi Shaozo threw down the phone, exhaled deeply, and shouted loudly: "Prepare anti-tank grenades and Molotov cocktails, Imperial warriors, summon your courage, our task is to hold on to Ulan-Ude for two days, we have no way to retreat, but to fight to the death!" ”

Maybe they were inspired, or maybe they knew that even if they escaped, they would be subject to military law by the supervision team, and none of the devils wavered, many guys held anti-tank grenades and improvised Molotov cocktails with wine bottles of gasoline, and others also clenched their guns, ready to be Yongfeng who looked dead when the Anjia army tanks pounced.

Strangely, the tanks of the An Jiajun only fired from a distance, and did not mean to get closer, but turned around and left at high speed after a few minutes.

"Huh!? The people of China retreated? Koizumi Shaoza's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said to himself, Could it be that in the street battles in the city, the enemy was worried about the loss of tanks and suddenly became cowardly?

But soon, 1 Koizumi knew that he had guessed wrong, the sky above his head, I don't know when a parachute fell, and after a muffled explosion in the air, only a few seconds later, the sky and the earth were suddenly enveloped by a bloody fire, and the whole heaven and earth seemed to be burning!

Koizumi only felt a burning pain all over his body, and he quickly lost consciousness.

In the neighborhood he was holding, more than 600 devils who were ready to attack went to see their Amaterasu Okami at the moment when the cloud burst bomb exploded, and a small number of devils hiding in the building also suffocated to death after suffering from lack of oxygen.

West of the city, railway station.

Hu Jiyang stood in the temporary headquarters of the train carriage and watched from a distance as the staff officers marked the situation of the enemy and us on the map. More than a dozen generals at the level of the group army who had been ordered to come to the meeting were gathering together and whispering about the current battle situation.

The terrain of Eastern Siberia is extremely rugged and complex, and even what appears to be plains is impassable for large armies due to swamps and primeval forests, not to mention the towering mountains of the Baikal region! This led to an eastward attack along Lake Belga, which could only be carried out along the lowlands along the shores of the lake, by rail.

And because of that. In this battle, it was necessary to completely penetrate the city defense of Ulan-Ude in order to open up the passage to the east, so the battle was very cruel.

"Commander, Commander Li has been contacted!" A communications staff officer hurriedly trotted over from another carriage, came behind Hu Jiyang, and stood up and saluted.

Hu Jiyang quickly turned around, glanced at the young communications staff officer, and then asked, "Where is the 40th Group Army now?" ”

"They have moved to the west bank of the Sèlenga River, southwest of Ulan-Ude, and are currently preparing to carry out a forced crossing in the village of Kokamu to achieve the encirclement of the Japanese army." The communications staff officer replied.

"Haven't crossed the river yet?!"

Hu Jiyang's brows suddenly furrowed, and he took quick steps and walked to the map to take a closer look.

According to the battle plan..., before the start of the war, the 40th Army quietly moved to the wharf town at the confluence of the Jeddah River and the Sèlenga River through the railway connecting Erdenet to Gorodok and Slyudenka, and cut off the Ucha Railway as soon as the battle began, went north at high speed, occupied Ganzulino, and then bypassed the rear flank of Ulan-Ude.

"Kokamu Village!"

Hu Jiyang's eyes searched the map and quickly found the target, the village of Kokamu is located on the southwestern edge of the city of Ulan-Ude, and according to the scale of the map, it is still six kilometers away from the location specified in the plan.

"This Li Xiao, what is he eating?" …

Fiercely slamming the bell pen in his hand on the map, Hu Jiyang turned around and scolded everyone in the headquarters: "It's been two days since the war started, and we haven't arrived at the scheduled battle site yet, even if it's a turtle crawling, it should be there now!" It has to be like the 40th Group Army, how can this battle be fought? In the carriage, most of the senior generals of the 37th, 38th, and 39th Group Armies were facing the furious Hu Jiyang, and no one dared to say anything.

"Cool off, good!"

Lieutenant General An Mingqi, political commissar of the front army, came out to play a round: "We must see that there are nearly 200 kilometers from the town of Wharf to Ulan-Ude, although railways can be used along the way, but the Japanese army has completely destroyed them, and many sections of the road have not only removed the tracks, but even the roadbed has been blown up, and the sappers belonging to the 40th Group Army have to repair it along the way!" The fact that our fighters were able to march two hundred kilometers in such a short time is already a remarkable achievement! Hu Jiyang was silent for a while and finally nodded, and then asked, "Then what now?" Although we used cloudburst bombs, the city of Ulan-Ude is so large that it is impossible to bomb it all the way, and we still have to rely on fighting to take down the streets!

"After a day and a night of continuous fighting, the Japanese still have a small block in possession, but our tanks and armored vehicles cannot keep up with the transportation capacity, and only less than 200 of them can be put into battle at present, which cannot achieve the goal of breaking through the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop! Let's talk about how to fight this battle! ”

Lieutenant General He Yifei, commander of the 37th Group Army, said loudly: "If you don't have a butcher, you will eat hairy pigs, when we were in the northeast, we could fight siege warfare under such difficult circumstances, and now we are equipped with more advanced weapons, do we not have the determination to win when we meet on a narrow road?" "Commander He is right! Our front army has been in Siberia for nearly four years, and there have not been many hard battles during this period, if we don't perform well this time, we will definitely be among the layoffs when the world is peaceful! Even if you want to add an extra gold star to your shoulders for your own future, you have to fight hard, otherwise you will obediently wait for the recovery to go home and hug your wife and children to live a dull life! As soon as Tang Qian, the commander of the 38th Group Army, said this, everyone in the carriage frowned.

Last year's wars in the subcontinent, Burma and Malaya also touched the hearts of all the officers and men of the Méng Ancient Military Region and the Central Asian Military Region. The strong combat effectiveness shown by several main front armies,

Let these rising stars in the army be stunned when they see the battle report, and many generals put themselves in their shoes and feel that many of these tough battles are not sure if they are fought by their own troops!

Tang Wen's remarks are very truthful: Now that the navy, army, and air force of the whole country have a total of nearly 10 million troops, it is certainly not normal to maintain so many troops for a long time, and it is inevitable that the troops will be dismantled in the future. Compared with the main group armies in the south, which have a long history and glorious traditions, the northern troops formed only after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression certainly do not have an advantage, and if the campaign to liberate the Far East and Northeast China is not brought into play, I am afraid that the first batch will have to use their own troops for training.

Thinking of this, everyone asked for battle.

Seeing that the morale of the generals was high, Hu Jiyang nodded: "It's good that everyone understands our situation!" I estimate that this war will end in three or four years at most, and no one can protect us without excellent performance! Therefore, all ministries must carry forward the spirit of forging ahead courageously and not being afraid of sacrifice, and display our prestige!

"Now I order: the time of the general attack remains the same, at five o'clock in the morning the assault troops enter the preset positions, and at half past five to launch a general attack! By noon tomorrow, Ulan-Ude must be taken down! That unit dragged the rear tui of the whole army, and I will find who is responsible! In short, this battle is related to the future of our front army, and we must go all out! ”

"Yes!"

All the generals saluted solemnly, and then left in a hurry, and went to battle.
