As long as their own army defeats these landed Chinese troops, they will have the capital to negotiate, and they will be able to bring the Chinese empire to its knees, at least they will not hold themselves accountable for starting a war, and if they can capture some more prisoners, they will have the possibility of turning over.

In order to achieve the goal of equal negotiations, the Japanese military sent troops several times superior to the Chinese army, hoping to take advantage of the superiority in numbers to defeat the opponent's superiority in equipment, which is also the usual practice on the battlefield of the Western Continent, which is now in full swing, relying on the superiority in numbers to gain superiority in firepower.

The high-level thinking of the Japanese state is too simple, with Fang Xiaoyu's wisdom, how could he make such a low-level mistake, the powerful Chinese army will soon let these uninformed Japanese soldiers know that there is another mode of war.

After several years of preparation, the armies of the Chinese Empire at all levels have completed the redressing. Both the Guards and the Wehrmacht have been equipped with new Type 03 guns, and all units are equipped with trucks and other means of transport.

The Guards Army was reorganized into an armored corps, and each Guards Army had three armored divisions, each division had three armored regiments, one mechanized infantry regiment, and one artillery regiment, so that each division had 330 combat vehicles, 150 trucks, and more than 100 artillery pieces of various types, in addition to some jeeps and motorcycles for reconnaissance troops.

The combat vehicle equipped by the Chinese Empire is no longer an experimental Wind Wolf chariot, but the latest Grizzly 1 medium chariot, this 22-ton chariot has 70 mm thick front armor, and a 260 horsepower gasoline engine, can reach a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, adopts a torsion shaft suspension system, has a crew of five, is equipped with a 50 mm 40 times diameter gun, two 7 mm machine guns, and can travel 155 kilometers after a refueling.

Sun Zhonglian, commander of the Northern Army Group, relied on the ample supplies from the port of Mutsu and adopted the tactic of advancing in parallel, and the Northern Army Group relied on the tactics of chariots as the lead and infantry following to squeeze the defensive space of the Japanese army little by little. The two elite soldiers of the Chinese army were divided into two routes, and the two sharp attack arrows were directed at the two cities of Aomori and Hirosaki.

In the landing operation, the Ezo Army was tasked with a feint, but because their military quality was too poor, they often did not know how to protect themselves, and the commander's ability was also very limited, and the feint almost turned into a strong attack. It would be nice to make the feints more realistic, because their attacks were strong enough, so that the Japanese army could draw troops faster, but the problem caused was that the casualties of the Ezo army were not small.

In just a few days, the Ezo army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but fortunately, the field hospital of the Chinese Empire was set up on Ezo Island, and they rescued the wounded soldiers of Ezo nearby, so that the death toll did not exceed 1,000.

After all, the Ezo people are the new allies of the Chinese Empire, and the alliance has not been long and the hearts of the people have not been attached. If they are allowed to suffer too many casualties, it is easy to cause unnecessary trouble, and now the northern army group still has to rely on other people's territory for supply, Sun Zhonglian naturally can't help but take care of some, if there are too many casualties, his face is not good-looking.

In order to reduce the casualties of the Ezo army, Sun Zhonglian only let them do the work of cleaning up the battlefield in the back this time, and all the people who opened the road in front were replaced by the elite troops of the Chinese Empire.

Aomori Prefecture garrisoned the 28th, 35th, 103rd and 105th Reserve Divisions of the Japanese Army, with a total number of more than 80,000 people, and in the face of the 50,000 troops of the Third Guards Army, the Japanese Army did not have much advantage, which was also because the south was closer to the economic center of the Japanese country, and a large number of troops were transferred there.

"Artillery cover fire." With the commander's order, the dense artillery fire covered the entire city of Aomori County, this is the Wa Kingdom, even if all of them are destroyed, Sun Zhonglian is not distressed, so the task he gave the troops is to attack with all their might, no need to spare ammunition, as long as they try to avoid their own casualties, for whether to destroy the city, this is not within his consideration.

With such instructions, the artillery commander naturally launched a full-scale artillery bombardment, and all the artillery of various calibers appeared, and the dense artillery fire did not selectively cover the whole city at all, and the Japanese army guarding the city and wanted to fight in the streets was taken by surprise.

The commander of the Japanese army originally thought that the army of the Chinese Empire would try to preserve the integrity of the city in order to loot the city to subsidize the war loss, and as long as the army was scattered in the city, it could offset the opponent's artillery advantage, but he did not expect that the other party would not care about the city and directly cover the artillery fire.

The intensive artillery bombardment lasted for a whole hour, and more than 100,000 shells were fired, and the ruins in Aomori County were in shambles. On the smoke-filled ruins, soldiers of the Third Army with semi-automatic rifles cautiously rushed forward.

As soon as the vanguard of the Third Army entered the outer ring road of the city, some of the Japanese soldiers who had been ambushed could not wait to shoot. "Lie down." Wang Qiguang, who was already the commander of the regiment, waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him fell down one after another, picking up their rifles and looking for the target.

Since the officers of the Guards were all rotated, Wang Qiguang, the company commander who ambushed the Cossack expeditionary force outside Chita City, had been transferred to the Third Army as a regiment commander. Over the years, he has followed the troops to fight in the east and west, and with the upgrading of the weapons in his hands, Wang Qiguang's military exploits have also accumulated day by day, but now he has changed from a young man in his twenties to a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Wang Qiguang picked up the binoculars and carefully observed the situation in front of him, and he quickly determined the target by the light of the muzzle fire of the Japanese soldiers when they fired.

"Let the chariot hit that little building." Wang Qiguang pointed forward and said to the correspondent behind him.

The correspondent immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and made contact, and soon more than a dozen chariots rumbled up. Wang Qiguang led an armored infantry regiment, and the number of their regimental combat vehicles was not large, but this kind of street fighting work was not suitable for the chariot regiment.

'Boom' two cannon shots, the shells of the two chariot guns crossed a distance of 800 meters in an instant, flew through a window with a burst of gunfire flashing, and with a burst of explosions, there was no sound at once.

"Hit it really accurately." Wang Qiguang is very satisfied with the charioteers in his regiment, because of the short contact time of new weapons, in order to be able to master them as soon as possible, these charioteers are very crazy to train, often wear off the tracks of the chariots, and the artillery is often replaced, fortunately, the military has money, they are all trained in kind, and there is no limit on maintenance funds, which allows the charioteers to practice a good skill in a short time.

With Wang Qiguang's guidance, the chariot guns that followed behind the infantry accurately cleaned up one fire point after another, and soon those Japanese soldiers no longer dared to come forward.
