After arriving at the area where the attack was launched, it was necessary to implement strict control of fireworks and fireworks, no smoking, no cooking fires, no dry rations to satisfy hunger, all vehicles, including horse-drawn carriages, were not allowed to enter the area within 20 kilometers of the front line, and all artillery units were allowed to enter the artillery positions that had already been selected for them by the headquarters within six hours of the launch of the attack, so as to avoid being discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes and Japanese puppet spies.

Cadres at all levels are not allowed to go to the front-line positions to check the terrain, and all the selection of attack routes is arranged in accordance with the maps issued by the headquarters; if they must go to the front-line positions, they are not allowed to bring guards, and they are not allowed to wear pistols or anything else that may reveal their identity.

It is precisely because of such a rigorous action, coupled with the fact that several days of fighting against the United Nations have caused the Japanese army, the resistance to the United Nations has no troops that can be mobilized, and the headquarters is empty, so that the Japanese army does not have the slightest awareness of the mobilization of troops by the United Nations of Resistance against the United Nations, and the offensive troops of the 10th Division have been broken through in just a few days to the front line of Keshan and Kedong, and it seems that it has reached the door of the headquarters of the Anti-United Nations. Seeing that the surrounding mountains and dense woods were suitable for ambush warfare, Major General Kotaro Miura only slightly felt that something was wrong with the situation on the other side.

He immediately asked the troops to stop the pace of pursuit, vigilantly sent several reconnaissance teams, but after all of them went, there was no news, Major General Kotaro Miura felt that things were not good, so he hurriedly ordered the rear team of the troops to change into the front team to withdraw from this mountainous area, but when they had not yet walked four miles before they found that there was nothing when they came, it suddenly became an improvised position. I saw many anti-United Nations fighters in gray military uniforms in front of them with various weapons aimed at them.

The dense bullets hit the Japanese army at once, and they were shot and fell to the ground. "Yaga. Anti-Union Army. Quick, prepare for a counterattack..."Wing Commander of the 39th Infantry Wing, Numata Takazo Osa, heard the gunshots. The first one reflected. Scolding at the Japanese troops around him, the Japanese launched an attack on the anti-union position, but no matter how the Japanese attacked, they could not rush to the edge of the position.

"Yaga..."Numata Tajiazo Osa saw that the troops who organized several attacks were beaten back by the Anti-Japanese Federation, and finally couldn't help it, and scolded loudly.

"Quick, report this situation to the brigade commander immediately, we have found the Chinese troops here, they have blocked our rear road, and our department is fighting them." Numata Tazo Daisa yelled at the chief of staff beside him.

"Nani. Are you saying that a resistance force suddenly appeared behind us and blocked our retreat. Major General Kotaro Miura, commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade, looked at the soldiers in front of him in disbelief and asked.

Before he finished speaking, "His Excellency the Brigade Commander, Wing Commander of the 40th Infantry Wing, Yoshio Nagano Osa, sent a telegram that they had also encountered the troops of the Anti-Japanese Union and were now engaged with them. ”

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, an unknown force suddenly appeared in our rear, the number of which was about a regiment, and now it is approaching us."

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is also an anti-coalition force on our right, numbering about a regiment."

“……”

"Yaga! Where did this group of people come from? Seeing that they wanted to eat us all, I saw that they were crazy, and ordered Numata Tazo Daisa to open a hole for me at once. "By reporting that Major General Kotaro Miura found himself surrounded by forces close to four regiments, he knew that if he did not break through in the dark. Then they will face a broken jade, and he regrets that he left behind the logistics troops and artillery units in order to pursue the Zhina, and now the food carried by the entire brigade can only last until the night.

After several days of fierce fighting, under the stubborn attack of the Japanese army. The blocked intersection was opened, and Major General Kotaro Miura, the commander of the 8th Infantry Brigade, led the remaining less than 3,500 Japanese troops to break out of the encirclement of the Anti-Japanese Union, this time because of his own rash advance, causing thousands of Imperial soldiers to be shattered. This annoyed Major General Kotaro Miura, so he decided to join the 33rd Infantry Brigade. Attack together.

When Major General Fujii Shigero learned of what happened to Kotaro Miura, he rushed to sympathize with Kotaro Miura's experience, and at the same time was surprised by the sudden appearance of four regiments of troops in the Anti-Japanese Federation, he didn't expect that the people of China were so cunning, so Fujii Shigero sent this information to the hands of Tada Jun, the commander of Qiqihar's division.

Tada Jun was also a little surprised when he learned that the Anti-Japanese Union actually hid a part of his troops, so he studied and discussed with the chief of staff for several hours, and decided to stop the offensive first, wait for the success of Plan B before carrying out the general offensive.

At 6:48 p.m. on 13 November, according to the predetermined plan, he personally rushed to Liu Yalou, where the headquarters of the Third Division of Nahe County was seated, and pointed to the scheduled attack time at 10 o'clock with a telephone microphone in his hand, looking at his watch, pointing to 10 o'clock in the scheduled time of attack, but he was unusually calm, and it was not until the hour hand pointed to 10 o'clock in the evening that he gave the order to attack Zhu Guang, commander of the artillery division on the other end of the phone.

After receiving Liu Yalou's call, Zhu Guang, who was in the artillery position on the front line of Keshan, waved his hand fiercely to several combat staff officers who were also holding telephones behind him.

The 150-mm howitzers and 105-mm mountain artillery reinforced by Meng Qingshan, the 100-mm howitzers and 75-mm mountain artillery of each brigade, and a battalion of rocket artillery newly developed by the Anti-Japanese Federation smashed the 10th Division which was still desperately resisting with dense artillery, and the Japanese defensive positions and the garrisons of various wings were covered by fire at the first time.

Zhu Guang divided all the artillery at hand into nine artillery groups, demarcated their own different targets, and formed five heavy artillery groups with the 150 howitzers and 100 mm howitzers with the 918 rocket artillery, which had a large firing range, and covered the Japanese tank assembly areas in the rear of the Japanese flanks with the 918 rocket artillery battalion with the largest firing range, as well as the material reserves that had been identified.

All the wild mountain guns and the 105 heavy mountain guns were divided into four artillery groups to cover the Japanese infantry assembly area, while the artillery of each regiment concentrated their firepower and attacked each firepower point of the Japanese forward position.

The shelling lasted for an hour! The artillery shells that fell on the first line of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army on the Keshan line and the depth were as high as more than 20,000 rounds, these shells were all the family background of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and caused heavy casualties to the 10th Division and the heavy artillery and armored troops that did not have the slightest defense, and a large number of technical troops and reserves of materials were destroyed. But when they heard the sound of artillery for nearly an hour, everyone in Qiqihar knew that it must have been the Japanese army that launched an attack against the United Nations, because only the Japanese army had so many artillery, and many people prayed in their hearts for the anti-United Nations forces, hoping that this anti-alliance could turn the corner.

In particular, the assembly area of the Seventh Independent Field Heavy Artillery Wing, the First Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade, and the Third Tank Wing, which were the most important targets, were accurately hit in the first round of artillery fire, and the accuracy of their artillery fire puzzled later historians.

Tada Jun, commander of the 10th Division, mobilized the 7th Independent Field Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 1st Independent Heavy Artillery Brigade in order to increase the offensive strength of the two brigades, but not long after the Japanese heavy artillery arrived, they suffered heavy losses under the fire of the 24 150 howitzers of the 150 Heavy Artillery Regiment, and completely lost the ability to fight back before they could return a single shot.

Compared with the loss of equipment, the losses of ammunition and materials stored in the open environment, as well as the Japanese troops with only simple field fortifications, lost two-thirds of the materials that were only simply camouflaged in the shelling, and more than half of the front-line troops were lost.

Upon learning of the shelling, Liu Yalou did not wait for the shelling to stop completely, but only ordered Zhu Guang to continue firing the artillery, and then issued an order to all units to attack the whole line.

With the rising red flares, under the cover of artillery fire, the four regiments that served as the first wave of attack tasks according to the plan launched a full-line attack on the 10th Division with the armored brigade as the sharp knife and the strength of the other three regiments as the auxiliary, and the two regiments attacked the 10th Division in depth after forcibly tearing open the right flank of the 10th Division, and the two regiments attacked from the rear of the 10th Division, Li Zhaolin of the 5th Division led the troops to launch an attack on the left flank of the Japanese army, and the political commissar Feng Zhongyun led the soldiers of the two regiments to destroy the railway and road from Harbin to Qiqihar, The cavalry brigade surrounded the 10th Division and immediately launched an attack on it as soon as it discovered an air attack, and Liu Yalou's order to the armored brigade was very simple, that is, it was necessary to strive to break the defense line of the 10th Division in the shortest possible time and disrupt the in-depth deployment of the 10th Division.

At this time, Major General Kotaro Miura and Major General Shigero Fujii of the 10th Division had been completely wiped out under the fierce artillery fire for a while, and they had fallen into confusion, all wired communications on the front line were interrupted, wireless communications were intermittent, all fortifications in the forward positions were destroyed by 80 percent, all infantry positions were hit by firepower, and the artillery damage rate reached 80 percent.

Major General Kotaro Miura and Major General Shigero Fujii looked at each other, their eyes were full of shocked expressions, their two brigades gathered in Keshan County to wait for the victory of Plan B, and then attack from all sides to eliminate the Anti-Japanese Federation, and they never thought that the reason why Meng Qingshan lured Miura Kotaro into Chaoyang Mountain to ambush him, and then deliberately let them go out is to let the Japanese troops scattered everywhere come together, so that the artillery can be better played.

The 8th Infantry Brigade and the 33rd Infantry Brigade of the 10th Division suffered heavy casualties under the powerful fire and artillery bombardment of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but fortunately they did not lose their effective unified command. (To be continued.) )
