The veterans of the Northeast Army in Hutou and the independent division composed of those miners became the first army at the moment when Dong Ku announced that they would become the first army, and all the original brigade commanders were promoted to division commanders, and the recruits were incorporated into the newly formed brigade.

In the afternoon of the next day, all the supplies that should have been transported from Hutou had been transported, so that the Hutou Fortress was full of ammunition and machine guns and artillery.

The rails were not melted into steel, and he still had to keep them, and once one day he had to use force against Lao Maozi and the Trans-Siberian Railway was sabotaged, these rails would come in handy.

Dong Ku stayed in Hutou for three days, during which he secretly infiltrated the territory of Soviet Russia, arrived to reconnoiter the movements of the Russian army, and found that the time of the battle was at least ten days later, because they wanted to assemble, needed to repair the railway, and needed to transport supplies.

After returning to Hutou, Dong Ku ordered fifty large-caliber artillery pieces and shells to be transported to Mudanjiang, handed over the matter of the defense line to Xing Yuan and Goudan, and returned to Harbin with the guards and guard platoon along with the horses and plows that carried Mogan's rifles.

He returned to Harbin without waiting for the war between Soviet Russia and Russia, but in fact, Lao Xi's first lathes were about to be in place.

At this time, the lathe had passed Mukden, and under the transportation of trains one after another, it rushed to Xinjing.

On the train, there were people escorting people in each stuffy tank car, including Germans and young Chinese laborers.

The Japanese once tried to get close to the cargo ship in Dalian to load and unload, but were blocked by the Germans, and after learning that there were a large number of Germans escorting them, the Japanese gave up the plan to look for opportunities to sabotage, and reluctantly implemented the armistice agreement. The train was loaded, and the stevedores and Germans escorted the train.

Liu Zhong was in the first train, and he was protecting the 'David' with a platoon of elites at this time. John Blue' and more than thirty scientists, as well as some sophisticated instruments.

In each train, there will be a separate stuffy tank with precision instruments and scientists, all of whom are secretly protected. Mixed with the mechanics who fled from Germany, they secretly rushed to Harbin.

Their security is not bad, the Japanese do not know these scientists, or rather, they are difficult to identify with a little camouflage, let alone not get too close. The Japanese could hear these pure German, so naturally it was even more difficult to be embarrassed, although the other side did not have guns, and if it caused trouble. They did not want to lose Germany as an ally yet.

When Dong Ku received Christian's notice that the train would arrive at the buffer zone in front of the Twin Cities in three days, and let him do the inspection and reception work, he did not stop for a moment and quickly returned to Harbin.

The arrival of the lathe is the foundation of whether he can get up, and most of his energy is therefore focused on the reception of the lathe in these two months.

Dong Ku rushed back to Harbin, and the Japanese and Lao Maozi were also not idle.

Survey of the scene of the shelling of Dalenevchensk. Big Nose came to the conclusion that the range of artillery on the opposite position was more than fifteen kilometers. Either it will not cover the whole of Darenevchensk.

They did not believe that this was the work of the newly emerging advance army, the artillery positions were not so arbitrarily constructed, and the difficulty of transporting heavy artillery, they suspected that the Japanese had designed and built it a long time ago.

Dealing with the Japanese throughout the ages, the sneak attack of the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese did not declare war, so that Soviet Russia had enough caution against Japan, a filthy nation. They believed that the Japanese must have already devised a plan for a sneak attack on Dalenevchensk, and the artillery positions had naturally been constructed long ago.

Actually, Lao Maozi's guess was right. If it weren't for the shift of strategic objectives, Japan only began to build the tunnel under the river in 40 years, because the war took a sharp turn, the Japanese army fell into the sea of war between Lao Chiang and the Red Army, and could not quickly end the goal, and could not spare energy, and the riverbank position they arranged in Dalenevchensk would have been easily broken from the back.

At this time, Japan had only built a large number of artillery positions and fortresses, and had not yet implemented the plan to infiltrate the river bottom.

After Lao Maozi came to a conclusion, targeted negotiations began.

In charge of the negotiations were 'Teslovsky' and Yuumi Kawada, two old political guys engaged in a brain battle in Moscow.

On Dong Ku's way back to Harbin, Tesslowski finally learned from Kawada Yumi about the defense of the Tiger Head Fortress, and Kawada Yumi also got the benefits he wanted, that is, the offensive and defensive alliance, in the battle for Heilongjiang, they took their own interests, and both sides advanced and retreated.

However, the same cunning Kawada Yumi did not give the defense map of the fortress to Tesslowsky, and the Japanese still wanted to keep a hand and recapture Heilongjiang before the Russians, so it was only a general defense system, and there was no specific defense drawing.

After Dong Ku returned to Harbin, he made a short stop and transported Mogan to Qiqihar. He went to meet with Christian and successfully placed an additional order with the design of the Japanese Type 0 fighter. After receiving the telegram, Lao Xi did not hesitate, but he would not consume his own materials to complete the transaction, so he replied to Christian that the deal could be reached, but it was necessary to see the design of the Type 0 fighter first, and the Tiger tank could delay the delivery of the drawings.

Dong Ku didn't know that the batch of one-meter-diameter steel pipes he asked for would not be made in Germany, and although the Type 0 fighter was copied from Japan, Japan would soon use it in advance. Because, Lao Xi wants to exchange the Type 0 fighter for Japan's steel pipes, and Japan will be responsible for transporting them to Harbin.

That's a story for another time, and the deal will be easy. Japan's iron ore smelting in Shenyang, Jilin and other places is already very large, and they still do this business by manufacturing steel pipes for airplanes nearby, after all, they don't have to pay for it.

After reaching an agreement, Dong Ku ended the negotiations with Christian, and he rushed directly to the Twin Cities, opened the barrier of the railway, and waited for the arrival of the train.

The Japanese were equally prepared, and the opposite positions also opened gaps, waiting for the train to pass and check.

Everything, it seems, is calm. The Russians were busy assembling and waiting, and the Japanese fulfilled their promises, armistically waiting for the business of the allies to be done. Dong Ku Chen Bing Tiger Head Along the line, waiting to receive the bearded wrath, the twin cities, ready to receive equipment. Everything was extremely calm at this moment.

Train. Thick white smoke drove into Japanese positions, into a 10-kilometer military buffer zone, and stopped at a checkpoint on the Japanese side.

"Get out of the car and walk through the checkpoint!"

The Japanese, who were not armed with guns, shouted, knocking on the iron door.

"Arrived?"

The Jew hesitantly jumped off the train.

"It's time to the anti-Japanese front!!"

The young faces shone with excitement and gathered around the Jews in an orderly manner. Leaving the stuffy tank, without carrying any items, he excitedly walked to his own checkpoint dozens of meters away.

Two Jews were left in each carriage, who were supervising the inspection by the Japanese. Fortunately, the lathes are all large items, and they only need to be roughly scanned, which will not be too troublesome, only the belongings need to be opened and checked, but they are also some instruments and daily necessities. There won't be much trouble either.

Liu Zhong walked calmly at the front of the team, and he was so excited that he wanted to run wildly, he missed Heilongjiang too much, he wanted to fight too much, and he missed his teammates who had fought with Dong Ku and other instruments.

The Japanese inspection was soon over, under the supervision of the Jews, and a train puffed white smoke and slowly entered the checkpoint of the advance army for a brief inspection. Waiting for the personnel to pedal again, the train closed the iron gate. Rumbling towards Harbin.

The Japanese were very particular and did not make any small moves, and the soldiers who inspected were not so vicious, but were extremely polite to the Germans, and did not harass the laborers who followed. One column is released, and the next column is checked. The action is quick and orderly.

At the moment when the inspection was proceeding smoothly, the rumbling sound of artillery rang out in Qiqihar.

This is the promise of Yuumi Kawada to the bearded man, and they will take the lead in attacking Heilongjiang, in order to return the favor of the tentative attack of Dalenevchensk, and show sincerity. Let the big nose rest assured to enter the battle and attack Heilongjiang together.

"Commander! The Japanese shelling has begun! ”

Before the shells fell, the phone call reached the headquarters of Qiqihar.

Zhao Shangzhi waited steadily for a month, the recruits had matured, the artillery had reached the standard, and the ten instructors had not left, and he had set up a communication network in the artillery position network for him, and was ready to face the battle.

"Are there any signs of offense?"

After receiving the report, he asked calmly.

"Report to the commander, there is no fire for the time being, and the artillery fire is not intensive, do you want to return fire?"

"Don't fight back, watch and wait for orders!"

After several close observations, how could Zhao Shangzhi fight back easily? According to the plan designed by Dong Ku, he wanted to destroy most of the Japanese artillery positions in one round, so he would not expose the artillery positions without the appearance of dense artillery.

On the position, amid the roaring artillery, the fighters of the Anti-United Nations squatted under the bunker more than ten meters thick, smoking and chatting leisurely, and there was no atmosphere of a big war.

This is not the first time they have felt the shelling, and the sporadic falling shells are not the rhythm of the attack at all, so just wait with peace of mind.

In the forward headquarters of the Japanese army, several generals held binoculars and looked at the smoke in the distance through the observation port, observing the reaction of the other side.

"Your Excellency, there is no movement on the opposite side, and their bunkers are also very thick, and the artillery bombardment of this density will not have much effect."

"Order the 1st, 3rd, 11th, 15th, 16th, 20th artillery positions to cover the bombardment, and the heavy artillery positions are waiting to destroy the enemy's artillery positions!" Lieutenant General Sukeichi Kawashima, who was in charge of the interim command, ordered.

With the order given, the Japanese artillery fire suddenly intensified, no longer scattered shelling, but covered bombardment.

The roaring shells tore through the cold air, exploding clouds of black fog on the Qiqihar River Bridge position, and the rumbling explosion instantly annihilated all sounds.

"Here we go!"

During the huge earthquake, the soldiers pulled up their neck gloves one by one, blocked their mouths and noses, and stuck to the shooting holes, waiting for the signal of the Japanese attack from the secret observation post at the front.

At the moment when the Japanese artillery fire suddenly intensified, Zhao Shangzhi ordered: "Send electricity to Harbin!" ”

Dong Ku, who was watching near the receiving checkpoint, pinched the message in his hand, and he squinted in thought. The Japanese chose this time to launch an attack on Qiqihar, perhaps to show Lao Xi, or to launch a full-scale attack on Qiqihar when their attention was focused on Harbin and waiting for the supplies to be received.

"! Think of it beautifully! ”

Dong Ku took out a lighter and burned the telegram, and muttered: "Call back Qiqihar, let General Zhao defend with peace of mind, not act rashly, calculate the position of the opponent's artillery, and verify the sketch drawn by the reconnaissance." ”

Isn't he waiting for an opportunity, Dong Ku has already calculated the Japanese artillery positions, and when the Japanese have not yet figured out the origin of effective shooting, he will do his best to destroy the opponent's artillery, let them enter heavy attrition, and delay their attack.

He analyzed with Liu Chengcheng, and according to the information that was passed back, the Japanese were already determined to come to a big battle, not only in Xinjing, but also in Shanhaiguan. And Dong Ku even understood that the other party was preparing to launch a full-scale invasion, because it was a matter of time or time, as long as Terauchi Shouyi was there, it would inevitably end this outcome.

He knew that Liu Zhong had returned, but he didn't care about meeting him to catch up, or welcoming the recruits and the Jews, let alone the apprentices who followed Crescent Island.

His message soon reached Qiqihar, and Zhao Shangzhi pressed the urge to return fire and put all the artillery in position and waited for the order to attack.

Kawashima Jieichi has not been suppressed by the artillery on the other side, although the losses in the last fire reconnaissance were relatively large, but the lack of long-range artillery on the opposite shore made them feel a lot more relieved, but also did not fully expose the fire points.

In the roar of the shelling, the huge explosion blew up the thick smoke on the position, the frozen ground splashed everywhere, and there were no less than 60 guns of 75 to 200 calibers, and the continuous shells fell, making the visibility on this side of the river bank almost zero, and also making the soldiers in the trenches nervous.

The receipt of supplies continued, and a total of eleven trains, loaded with various lathes and equipment, entered the defense area of the advance army steadily.

The Japanese high-tech technicians in charge of the inspection were shocked as they inspected it, this number far exceeded their estimates, and the allies and the enemy were doing a lot of business, reaching a level they could not imagine.

Soon, this information reached the commander of 'Umezu Mijiro'.

'Umezu Mijiro' saw the huge number of lathes, and he was also shocked. This is not a small number of 30 or 50 units, and it involves all aspects, in addition to large lathes such as gun barrels, even cold rolling equipment, and drilling equipment.

Before he could wake up from the shock, a strange round of negotiations began at headquarters. (To be continued......)
