Chapter 1910 The offensive is like a tide

The moon is 16 round, and the early morning of July 28 is the 16th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the moon in the sky is like a silver plate, full of stars, illuminating the earth brightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On all fronts, the An family army was marching overnight by taking advantage of the moonlight.

Since there was no need for covert air defense, the headlights of tanks, armored vehicles and cars were turned on, and from a distance, the roads were dotted with stars, as if a swarm of fireflies were hurrying.

As the troops marched, there was silence, except for the noise of engines and the cacophony of metal grinding against each other, filling the dirt road.

One tank after another, armored vehicles, regardless of the bumps, moved forward, their hideous figures, huge barrels, reflecting a cold glow in the moonlight.

In the middle of the procession marching on the west bank of the Nenjiang River, in an armored car with many antennas, the young faces looked serious and excited, and only Major General An Ruoyi, who had experienced many baptisms of war, looked calm.

In the not-so-bright light inside the car, the pencil of the young tank division commander was sliding across the map.

"How far is the Third Regiment from Woniu Town?"

When An Ruoyi spoke, her gaze remained on the map.

The third regiment was a tank regiment, which was at the front as the vanguard of the whole division. In addition to three tank regiments and two armored infantry regiments, there is also a self-propelled cannon regiment, a howitzer regiment, an air defense regiment, and a transport regiment, and it is possible to add troops of other arms at any time.

"Report to the division commander, the commander of the third regiment has just sent a telegram that they have entered Niutou Village and will soon arrive in Woniu Town. So far, they have not met resistance from the Japanese army! According to the guerrilla report, this area is the descendants of the Manchu Butha Eight Banners, and the people are fierce, and the Japanese army is cowering in Woniu Town, except for regularly going to the countryside to collect taxes, but they do not disturb the people on weekdays. "It was a lieutenant communications staff officer who replied.

"Good!"

An Ruoyi paused for a few seconds and ordered: "Order the third regiment to pass directly through Niutou Village, occupy and take over the task to the armored infantry behind...... By the way, did the brother troops occupy Dahudian? ”

"We haven't received any reports yet...... Division, I'm going to send a telegram to ask! After the communications staff officer finished speaking, he immediately returned to his transmitter and began his work.

An Ruoyi didn't say anything more and continued to pay attention to the map.

According to the plan, the main force will rush to Niuwei Village in the northeast of Woniu Town early tomorrow morning and launch a forced crossing in the Fufeng River section, and then the main force of the group army will cross the river in this area and formally implement the plan to encircle Qiqihar.

......

The Khingan Mountains southeast of Chita, where the Russians named Yablonov Mountain, are steep in woods and cliffs, and the railway from Chita to Manchuria winds its way through the valleys, many of which are connected by tunnels.

Since the area was occupied by the Japanese in 38, the Japanese army has stationed troops along the China Eastern Railway, but after the war began two days earlier, these strongholds were either uprooted by the Anjia Army or voluntarily evacuated.

What's even more vicious is that when the Japanese army retreated, they not only blasted and dismantled the railway, but also blew up the tunnels along the way, causing the Anjia army to fight the Japanese army from mountain to mountain.

The battle at Lake Baikal was under the unified command and dispatch of General Yin Jinan, but the specific command was assumed by the commanders of various armies. Among them, the person in charge of the attack and defense of Chita is Lieutenant General Jiao Guangxu, the commander of the mountain cluster.

In this attack on the Far East, all the mountain clusters stationed in northern Burma and the southern foothills of the Himalayas, which are skilled in mountain warfare, were transferred north.

After the start of the war, the four mountain armies, totaling more than 300,000 troops, advanced all over the mountains and fields, and the fortifications built by the Japanese army could not be stopped at all, and in just two days and nights, the army advanced to the foot of the majestic Xing'an Mountain.

Under the bright moonlight, behind the fortifications at the foot of the main peak of the Xing'an Mountains, Lieutenant General Zhang Hao, commander of the Second Mountain Group Army, frowned and observed the fortifications built by the Japanese army in front with a telescope.

Although the Anjiajun Air Force has detailed reconnaissance photos, and the special forces still have a lot of detailed information, neither written materials, pictures, nor military maps can truly reflect the danger of the main peak of Xing'an Mountain.

This place was built by Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union for decades, and the Japanese army also reinforced it many times after taking over, and because of the urgent report from the front, knowing that the Anjia Army had a powerful bomb that could burn air, the Japanese army made extremely strict fire prevention deployments, which made the attack more difficult exponentially.

Major General Zhang Guosheng, commander of the Fourth Mountain Division, had just jumped out of the off-road vehicle and walked over when he saw that the commander was carefully observing the terrain of the Xing'an Mountains.

"Army commander, the reconnaissance battalion of our division has really touched this mountain, and finally confirmed: the surrounding dozens of miles are all lofty mountains, except for the only tunnel that can pass through the train has been blown up by the Japanese army, there is only one winding mountain road that can cross the mountain, and the various firepower points of the Japanese army are distributed on this mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!"

Zhang Hao nodded, this winding mountain road is indeed the difficulty of the attack, the Japanese army built the forts on the mountain, the mountainside like hanging holes, the road up the mountain is completely blocked, without taking down this mountain, it is impossible to hit the fortress at the mountain pass along the winding mountain road.

Moreover, due to the large area of this mountainous area, the undulating mountains, and the overflowing streams and karst caves, the effect of concentrated use of cloudburst bombs will not be too good, and in the end it will have to be attacked by manpower.

Zhang Hao put down the binoculars and turned around and said:

"Our mountain soldiers are specially designed to conquer such dangerous terrain! No matter how dangerous the terrain is, we have to attack it. As long as you take this place, it will be equivalent to opening the gap to the fortress of the mountain pass, and then the main force will be able to drive straight into it and capture Chita! ”

......

As the Chita Barrier, the Japanese army naturally understood its importance.

In the Far East and Eastern Siberia, the Japanese army mainly relied on the defense of the ** mixed brigade and the border garrison, and concentrated the strength of eight ** mixed brigades in the Chita and Khingan mountain areas. On this hill in front of the troops, there was a brigade, which was extremely well defended.

Also under this moonlight, Major General Naojiro Tsuchitani, the commander of the 135th Brigade of the Japanese ** Mixed Brigade, who was standing in the shelter on the mountainside, also had a grim face, holding a telescope and looking around uneasily.

Although the slope of this mountainous area is very steep, there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, it is not conducive to the construction of field fortifications, and the defense can only be made as much as possible, but the amount of work in it is too large to be effective in a short time. Moreover, there was bad news from the front line, the Anjia army had new weapons, and the fortifications along the border line were much more complete than here, and they were also broken in one attack, and the Japanese army did not have much confidence to defend this place.

"It's a pity, if only I had a few long-range cannons in my hand, I could bombard him!"

In the bright moonlight, Naojiro Tsuchitani couldn't help but sip his saliva when he saw the Leopard II tank appearing on the road at the foot of the mountain a few kilometers away. With the terrain of this mountain, it was absolutely impossible for the Anjia army to use tanks, so the Japanese army was not equipped with bulky but long-range cannons, and even in order to preserve strength, a large number of artillery guns were dismantled and sent to the rear.

Just as Naojiro Tsuchitani was carefully observing the situation in the mountains and basins in the distance, clusters of white smoke and orange-red firelight suddenly flashed in front of him.

"It's not good, it's the shelling of the An Jiajun!"

Naojiro Tsuchitani hurriedly returned to the anti-artillery hole in the rear and instructed the staff officers who followed him to inform the wings to prepare for anti-artillery.

"Whoa—"

There was a sharp and piercing howling sound in the air, followed by a burst of boos, and an explosion sounded in an instant, covering the mountains and mountains.

Due to the rush of sappers and the opening of the railway connecting Mongolia and Northeast China, there was no problem with the supply of ammunition to the troops, so the An Jiajun was not afraid of wasting concentrated on using 105mm mountain howitzers and 107mm mountain rocket artillery to carry out intensive strikes, with the intention of killing and injuring those devil soldiers who were exposed in the field, and then overturning the Japanese fortifications on the mountain.

......

At the moment when the first round of shelling was launched, the Japanese squadron leader Ken Kotani, who was lying in a trench on the mountainside, was napping in a trench on the mountainside, brushing the dirt on his face and trying to get up, but his left foot was no longer obeying the command, and he looked down and saw that the thigh was hit by shrapnel, and the blood gushed out like a spring.

A sharp pain and dizziness came, and Kotani quickly took out the bandage from the treatment bag he was carrying, trying to stop the bleeding, but the blood soaked the bandage and continued to seep outward.

At this time, the sleeping earth had been awakened by the sound of shelling, and the whole mountain was trembling violently.

Ken felt his head hurt worse than the other, and he couldn't tell his way in a groggy way, but the hope of survival drove him to climb as best he could towards the shelter of the mountain not far away, while shouting for his men.

However, at this time, everyone was dodging the cannonballs that rained down, and the shouts of Second Lieutenant Kotani were suppressed in the rumbling explosion, he gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward, when another cannonball fell three or four meters in front of him, and suddenly his eyes went black, and he was completely unconscious.

At this time, the offensive of the mountain troops of the Anjia Army had been launched.

Two battalions of the first assault force, under the cover of artillery fire and smoke shells, attacked halfway up the mountain.

Although hundreds of mountain soldiers moved swiftly and approached the mountain with weeds and convex rocks during the attack, they had just rushed four or five hundred meters before they were blocked by the Japanese army and had to engage in a fierce battle between the cliffs.

In the hand-to-hand encounter, a soldier dangled with one foot in the air, only to see him step on the protrusion of the cliff with his toes, grasp a small tree sticking obliquely out of the crack in the stone with his left hand, and hold a small Type II automatic rifle in his right hand, and shoot at the condescending enemy, in the dense bullets, the enemy fell headlong and fell into the cliff.

The mountain soldier's body balance was excellent, and with a little effort, he had already climbed the heights.

At this time, fierce battles were fought in the enemy's positions, and after a burst of fire, due to the exhaustion of ammunition, the fight for bayonets followed.

The oldest group of devils, three of them standing in the shape of "Pin", can resist the charge of six or seven ** officers and soldiers, but now the quality of the Japanese army is seriously degraded, and their opponents are strictly trained officers and soldiers of Anjia, and they have fallen behind in the stabbing battle.

In the sound of "clang", the mountain soldiers of the Anjia Army, who were constantly rushing into the enemy's position, held Type II automatic rifles and kept firing, and the resistance of the Japanese army gradually weakened.

This is a mountain soldier who was stabbed through the right arm by a bayonet stretched out from the weeds, and the automatic rifle fell to the stone, and the moment he fell to the ground, the mountain soldier took advantage of the moment when the devil retracted the bayonet and was about to stab again, grabbed the gun pressed under him with his left hand, put the butt of the gun against his chest, and shot all the bullets in the chamber of the gun at the ghost soldier who was leaning over and stabbing at the waist.

The devil's chest was instantly shattered, and he looked at it in disbelief, and then fell to the ground.

The Heavy also rushed forward at this time, picked up the Type II general-purpose machine gun, and swept the devil soldiers who rushed to the left and right to try to regain their position, and the bullets were like the scythe of death, sweeping the devils to the ground in rows.

More and more fighters rushed forward, shooting and throwing grenades into the crevices in the rocks where the ghost soldiers might be hiding.

"Sticking a black card, onboard!"

Chanting the slogan "Long live the Emperor", some of the wounded devils jumped out from behind the rocks where they were hiding and pounced on the nearest soldier of the Yasuke Army, and then the two of them scuffled and rolled towards the edge of the cliff, both falling off the cliff.

Finally, with the consolidation of follow-up reinforcements, a cliff of two or three hundred square meters was overcome, and then with this as the base point, a new wave of offensive was launched again.
