It was getting dark, and the rumbling sound of engines came from the grassland. A large number of Japanese reinforcements slowly advanced forward under the reflection of the last rays of the setting sun.

This time they marched forward in battle formation, with the troops of the two wings using military trucks as carriers and machine guns as the vanguard of the troops.

Behind was the artillery unit pulled by the truck, and the runners squatted on the trucks, and as soon as the battle started, they immediately got out of the truck and set up their artillery, forming a dense bombardment of the PLA.

The remaining tank units are protected on both sides of the artillery, and if the PLA tries to sneak up on it, they will be hit hardest. At the same time, they can also flexibly respond to any sudden changes and attack the positions of the PLA at any time.

The rear of the Japanese army was composed entirely of infantry, mixed with their chain of command, following all the way behind the forward troops, ready to engage in large-scale battles.

Nakata Nominee is sitting in the car at the moment, and he can be as angry as he wants. was ambushed by the People's Liberation Army and knocked out many troops, and then was chased by others for more than ten kilometers, and he didn't dare to stop and fight with others.

In the end, the PLA turned around and left, leaving him to stand like a fool in the cold wind of the grassland for two or three hours. This feud must be brought back from the PLA, otherwise, Nakata Nominei feels that he will not be able to continue to mix in the Kwantung Army in the future.

All the humiliation he has suffered today will be made fun of by his colleagues.

Shimamurakawa, who was sitting on the side, held back a smile, patted Nakata Noburi on the shoulder and said, "Nakata-kun, don't be distressed. Our main forces are still there, the morale of the troops is still there, and we have not suffered any major losses. Don't worry too much, we can seek revenge from the PLA! ”

Shimamurakawa's words of comfort were extremely harsh to Nakata's ears. He blushed and yelled at the herald outside the window: "Have you seen the shadow of the People's Liberation Army, where have they gone?" ”

Immediately, an officer ran quickly to the side of the military vehicle that was not moving fast, and said while trotting: "Report to the chief, we have advanced ten kilometers, but not a single person has been seen, they should have all retreated!" ”

Nakata wanted to order the whole army to advance at full speed at once, but he was worried about another ambush on the way.

In the previous battle with his opponent, he had realized that this opponent was definitely not simple. If you advance boldly, you can easily fall into the enemy's ambush again.

Holding back this evil breath in his heart, Nakata Nominee roared angrily: "Tell the reconnaissance troops to keep my eyes open, if we ambush in the middle, I will shoot them all!" ”

"Hay!" The herald officer quickly ran forward to convey Nakata's order.

It was finally dark, and the devil, who had been moving fast on the grassland for three hours, finally came to the place where he had been ambushed before.

As soon as they arrived at the place, the forward troops immediately occupied all the commanding heights and firmly controlled this area. The sappers immediately moved forward to clear mines, preventing the PLA from laying mines on the way forward.

Nobuyoshi Nakata and Shimamuragawa were escorted by guards to a commanding height, and although it was dark, the ambush was lit up by the truck's lights, as if it were day.

Nakata Nobusi saw a mess of dead Japanese soldiers everywhere, and white smoke still billowing from the burned truck. There was a strong scorching stench in the air, the stench of charred corpses.

"Report sir, there is no one here anymore. They have all been withdrawn, and the searching troops have not found anything left behind! At this time, a young sage came to Nakata Nobuyori and Shimamuragawa to report.

"Nakata-kun, shouldn't all the people of China retreat to the fortress of the Mongol army, right? Isn't this tantamount to fighting against the water? Now that they already know that we are coming, they shouldn't be so stupid, waiting to be attacked by us on both sides, right? Shimamura said suspiciously.

Nakata Noshishi's brows were also tightly furrowed, although the battle with the PLA was very short, he had already developed some small fears of the PLA. I always feel that the other party will definitely ambush me somewhere in the night, maybe not far away, there are tens of thousands of pairs of eyes watching them.

Nakata Nobuyori held back for a long time before he said, "No matter what, we must send troops to advance to Mongolia. The whole army continues to advance in formation, even if the PLA has an ambush, as long as we do not relax our vigilance, with our strength, the PLA will have no chance to take advantage of it at all! ”

Shimamuragawa nodded, agreeing with Nakata's decision. The Japanese immediately opened again, only this time at a slower pace. The closer they got to the Mongol troops, the more dangerous the darkness around them felt.

Every devil was cautiously vigilant, the headlights shone in all directions, and the reconnaissance troops radiated two kilometers, like a big net wrapping the marching Japanese troops. As soon as they detect the movement of the PLA, they will notify the combat troops to prepare as soon as possible.

The Kwantung Army advanced at turtle speed, clinging to each other like a large glowing turtle, which was particularly conspicuous on the grassland.

The devils on the fortress side saw the point of light getting closer and closer to them, and the despair that had just risen in their hearts disappeared again. The walls of the fortress were filled with the sound of revelry, and the devils warmly hugged each other in celebration.

"I'll just say, the Kwantung Army is very powerful, how can the people of China solve them."

"That's it, that is, during the day, it must have been the Kwantung Army that dealt with the Shina army on the road. After the war, there will definitely be a period of rest, so there will be no movement, which I have long thought of! ”

"As soon as I see that the people of China are not the opponents of the Kwantung Army, they are unlucky, they must have been beaten miserably by the Kwantung Army this time!"

"I see, if the People's Liberation Army outside the city still has a little self-knowledge, it should immediately run away with its tail between its legs now. When the Kwantung Army arrives, they will only have to go to hell if they want to run! ”

The devil on the dam said cool words loudly, and the Japanese language was in a wave, as if he was afraid that the People's Liberation Army outside the city would not hear it.

The arrogant devils even sang and danced on the city walls, mocking the People's Liberation Army outside the fortress to their heart's content. Some even took off their pants and twisted their butts outside the fortress.

Hiratani Hachiro let out a long breath, and when he saw the large army approaching in the distance, he felt a sense of collapse all over his body.

"Damn the Kwantung Army, send a telegram and don't reply to me, what the hell are you doing?" Hiratani Hachiro's heart is full of dissatisfaction, but people are here anyway, as long as they come, it will be better than everything.

"Ikeda-kun, it looks like we're going to be ready for a final battle tonight!" Hiratani Hachiro sorted out his mood, turned his head in high spirits, and said proudly to his chief of staff: "Today, I will take you to make meritorious contributions together and kill the People's Liberation Army together!" ”

"It's the glory of my life to be able to fight with you!" Ikeda gave a solemn salute to Hachiro Hiratani, his face full of respect.

At this moment, in the dark steppe, only ten kilometers away from the Japanese fortress. The officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Divisions were rapidly digging trenches on the flat grassland, and a long trench with a depth of up to two meters had already begun to appear, and the officers and men of the 1st and 2nd Divisions were intensively building field fortifications.

They had been here for hours, digging trenches while it was dark and the enemy could not notice.

If the Kwantung Army was allowed to advance, it was likely to break through the rear defense line of the Fourth Army. This is something that Gao Dong will never allow, he must completely stop the enemy here.

The trenches were full of busy figures, and Yang Fei and Ren Minjian personally led their subordinates to participate in the excavation work. All the people are silently burying their heads in the trenches, this is their lifeline, if they can dig a little deeper, their lives will be more secure.

Gao Dong had already walked around the trenches, and from time to time he would point out where to place what weapons. He is an expert in this area, and his eyes are particularly poisonous, and he can tell at a glance where and what kind of weapons will cause the most damage to the enemy.

At this point he stood on top of the trench and looked back at the approaching enemy. The roar of the convoy could already be heard, and the dim lights had gradually become dazzling. The final decisive battle with the Kwantung Army was coming, and Gao Dong knew that he could not retreat. No matter what the outcome is, he will fight the devil here today.

"Captain, we've used up all the mines!" At this moment, Lin Fan took Chen Zhe and a few others to run in front of Gao Dong: "We have also created a lot of tricks, and we have completely reached the limit." Whether you can stop the devil or not depends on luck! ”

Gao Dong nodded: "Bring all of your people back, and help the brothers of the first and second divisions dig trenches." Later, we will face the bombardment of devils, and if we don't dig more bulletproof craters, we will only be beaten! ”

Lin Fan nodded, and immediately called his subordinates to rush towards the trench to help the officers and soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Divisions build strong trenches.

Gao Dong took one last look at the enemy who was getting closer and closer in the distance, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and walked towards the trench.

All the arrangements may be useless, and only the belief of fighting to the end is the support for fighting the enemy to the end.

Just as the two sides were making final preparations for the big war, the airfields were lit up in large bases a thousand kilometers away, and each bomber was surrounded by people.

"How long will it take?" Sheng Shijie, the chief instructor of the Air Force who flew from Xi'an, yelled at the airport.

"Three planes are still complete, Captain, we're hurrying!" A bearded Jewish mechanic yelled in non-standard Chinese.

Saint Shijie nodded, and then walked to the side, and the commander of the ground forces at the airport said: "Now immediately load the ammunition, remember, the red warhead is loaded first." ”

"Understood, Captain!" The officer saluted and immediately turned away.

Saint Shijie's eyes flashed with worry: "Chief of Staff, you must hold on, we will be here soon!" ”
