Shunzi successfully attacked Wang Qing and Tumen, which were only two hundred kilometers away from Zunhua, with an Antu in between.

His actions immediately shocked the Japanese, and after receiving the report, Umezu Mijiro urgently transferred troops to Zunhua and ordered Antu to withdraw his troops and withdraw to Zunhua. One hundred and ten kilometers, the speed of the advance army, in three hours to reach Antu, where there is no defense, and staying behind is also to die.

The Japanese top brass was also shocked, they did not expect the advance army's counteroffensive to start from that position. The cabinet and the entire machine are up and running, studying the plan for dealing with this emergency.

In the Changchun Headquarters, Umezu Mijiro stared at the map with a suspicious face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, why do you say the advance army is attacking from that position?"

Ogasawara Shuo also felt strange, "I don't think this is suitable as a position for counterattack, just imagine, Zunhua can attack down, but there is a theme, the season of heavy snow sealing the mountain is coming, the first snow of this year is also extraordinarily heavy, although there is no smoke cannon, but it is a matter of years, there is more than 300 kilometers of mountain road to Changchun as an offensive route, there is only one mountain road in the middle, once we block the mountain road, their supply and troop movement will be restricted, and the transportation of baggage is troublesome, But now that I've attacked there, it's really puzzling! ”

The other generals were well aware of this, and it was not suitable as a line of attack. It is precisely because of this that the defense there is not paid much attention, a brigade is stationed, plus a total of divisions and regiments of the puppet army, it is said that there are quite a few. But the other side attacked there and occupied Tumen, did they want to make a detour from Korea and implement the encirclement of the army in Jilin and Liaoning?

The thought shocked everyone. They all felt that the advance army was going to make a big move, they stabilized Mongolia, and they would turn around and continue the attack. In order to fulfill the promise of the advance army, they will be expelled from the land of China.

The idea of the Kwantung Army coincides with that of the mainland, and the study of the territory is also based on this, believing that the advance army should make a big move, take a roundabout outflank, and have a decisive battle with the Kwantung Army.

They did not think that the advance army would not dare to come to a big battle between the two provinces. The advance army now has this ability, and they also have this strength.

Umezu Mijiro hadn't come up with a corresponding countermeasure here when the local telegram arrived.

The telegram was very simple, it was to concentrate all the forces along the Dunhua line, build a position, and block the enemy in the mountains. The Korean Front gathered at Halong, which was located at Hoeryong, Maoshan and Jilin, forming a triangular formation and going all out to defend and block the enemy's advance.

Umezu Mijiro before the message arrived. A large army had already been sent to Dunhua and all tanks and armored vehicles were sent there. In the face of the anti-tank weapons of the advance army, these tanks were useless in the defensive positions of the Twin Cities, but in the mountains, they could be used only as mobile pillboxes.

In the exchange of messages and telephone calls, the Japanese troops in Jilin and Liaoning jumped and jumped, and the army advanced towards Dunhua in the dark night like ants. The defenders of Dunhua are also crazy moves, building defensive positions on the periphery of Dunhua. It is connected to the position opposite the Mudanjiang River.

In North Korea, the puppet army was bombed in the middle of the night. Rush to Helong and Maosan in the heavy snow, as well as Hoeryong, and increase where to defend.

They all knew the speed of the attack of the advance army, and they almost ran along the road without stopping. Heavy snow, flattened by tanks and armored vehicles. The truck's headlights lit the woods as if it were daylight.

Junzi didn't know that the enemy's army was pressing, he occupied the defense line on the whole front, and after recovering Tumen and Wang Qing, he didn't even plan to attack Antu.

There. It's not his goal, he just needs to occupy the triangle.

An hour after the reconquest of Tumen, Dong Ku received a telegram at the end of the battle. Seeing that the operation was successful, he ordered the deployment of defenses and the delivery of artillery to the Soviet-Russian border in preparation for the attack.

Shunzi's army did not use much to attack, at this time, the army followed Wang Qing, connected with the Dongning defense line on the Mudanjiang River, cut down trees in the mountains and forests, and opened the roads on both sides overnight.

In the mountains and forests, the rumble of trees being cut down and the clatter of axes cutting branches make the silent forest particularly noisy.

The soldiers have spread out, and they can drive along the way, but in the summer they will not be flooded by the mountains and rivers, and the figures are in the light pillars of the flashlight, stretching for dozens of kilometers, quickly stretching forward.

When Goudan was building roads here, he began to build a circular defense in the three directions of Soviet Russia, North Korea, and Antu, and strive to complete the preliminary preparations for defense before dawn.

He believed that the Japanese army would counterattack, but he would not entangle with the Japanese army, and it would be enough to defend and shell. The 100 self-propelled guns are already the largest caliber and the range is not satisfactory for long-range firepower in mountainous areas.

He didn't know the movements of the Japanese until just before dawn. The scouts who were sent out overnight did not see the Japanese soldiers standing guard in Antu, and the turrets and gate posts there were not guarded, which was quiet, which puzzled the scouts.

If the enemy hits the door, even if they don't reinforce it, they won't fail to defend themselves, right?

So, the investigator boldly touched the dark Antu.

When I entered Antu, I found that the streets were quiet, the doors of the people's courtyards were closed, the lights of the barracks were gone, and there was no Japanese army in the entire Antu.

When they touched the barracks, the scouts determined that the Japanese had fled and abandoned Antu.

Junko wasn't too surprised to hear the news. Antu garrison will not be more than a brigade, the distance is only a few tens of kilometers, if they still stay, it will be a fool.

There are no permanent fortifications there, there are not enough but not urgent, there are not enough troops to reassure them, and giving up is the best option.

Junzi pondered for a moment and ordered: "The third division is stationed in Antu, and the defense line is moved forward to Antu!" ”

The 3rd Division, which was building a defensive line, was ordered to move quickly, and 100 armored vehicles and 200 infantry vehicles, with 50 self-propelled guns and 50 tanks, marched towards Antu, which was expected to reach Antu at dawn.

When the Japanese army's trucks and motorcycles were rumbling away, the people of Antu didn't know what the Japanese army was going to do, so they hid in their homes one by one, in the dark, listening to the movements outside.

But after a few hours, the sky was dark, and there was still no movement outside, quiet and infiltrating.

boldly opened the door quietly, pretending to hug the wood, but unexpectedly found that there were countless people wearing snow-white clothes and pants in the town. A figure in a cloak.

These people were covered with white neck covers, so that they could not see who they were, but they knew the guns, these were soldiers.

However, there is one point, these people seem to be different from the previous Japanese army, and it is understandable that they walk in a line one by one. But it's a bit strange that they ignore the probe and don't scold them.

Seeing that they were ignored, these bold people stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at these strangely dressed people and guessing their identities.

The 3rd Division, which entered Antu, did not drive its tanks into the town, but followed the outside of the town and built a defensive line in the direction of Dunhua, and the armored vehicles built a snow wall with snow. Only the muzzle of the gun, the same is true of the tank, lined up on both sides of the road, with a wall of snow to block the body, so that the tank with only the muzzle of the gun is not easy to be detected by the enemy in the distance, in the back, start to build a defensive position with wood, and pour the ice wall with snow and water. Sprinkle with sand to prevent slipping underfoot.

in town. The villagers were not alarmed before dawn, and only after seeing a figure did someone take off their neck sleeves and begin to inquire about the situation in the town, and identified themselves.

Knowing that the advance army on the Heilongjiang side had arrived, the town was boiling in just ten minutes. People go out of their homes. At first, he looked at these white figures timidly, and soon believed that the advance army on the opposite side was coming.

They didn't hear the gunshots, and they didn't know about last night's fighting. But the troops are coming, obviously. The Japanese army was beaten away.

Soon, the villagers began to recognize only those traitors who did not have time to escape, and in just ten minutes, those who were hiding in their homes and shivering were found out, and what awaited them was interrogation, followed by shooting, and shooting in front of the people in the town.

At this time, Soviet Russia was also extremely tense, and they could hear the battle between Tumen and the border. This made them wonder what was happening on the other side of the road, but they couldn't believe Little Japan, and they still defended nervously until dawn.

But when it was dawn, they didn't see any movement from the Japanese army. But soon, the telescope saw the advance troops in combat uniforms. They are too familiar with this dress, and they have seen the clothing of the advance army in the Tiger Forest Battle in the beginning of spring, so they naturally will not be mistaken.

"What? The advance army took down the Tumen occupied by the Japanese army? ”

Colonel Barenev, who was stationed in Vladivostok, was shocked. Is the advance army going to fight on both sides?

He didn't dare to be careless, and urgently ordered that the border that had already increased its defenses to prevent the advance army from sneaking in again should be increased again, and strict precautions should be taken to prevent the advance army from coming in. After all, at this time the enemy army in Novosibirsk had already entered the country, and they were alone here, and it was difficult to guarantee that the enemy would not attack Vladivostok.

News of the enemy's approach spread rapidly in Vladivostok. Everyone knows that the enemy is about to attack, or rather, it is only a matter of time. After all, artillery can be reached from each other, and it is not even thirty kilometers to the border, and Vladivostok is within the range of the opponent's artillery.

As a result, there was a panic in Vladivostok, and the people of Soviet Russia began to panic. The burning of the oil depot and granary a few days ago has already given them a sense of crisis, although they will not starve by the sea, but the enemy can quietly touch the gold Vladivostok, so the attack is not trivial?

But what's the use of them flustering? Trains in the direction of 'Dalenevchensk' have been out of work for several months. All the belongings were transported by car, and they wanted to leave, and it was impossible for the truck to pull them.

They didn't know what to do, and even if they got into the truck, they didn't have a chance to leave Siberia, because at this time, most of the Sayan Mountains were already in the hands of the advance army, cutting off the road to Central Asia. And the railways in the Ural Mountains are not passable, not to mention the roads, which will begin to be cut off here, where the army has already broken through, and it is almost to the Ural Mountains, and the roads are about to be blocked.

Their riots were confined to their interiors, and the advance army on the opposite side did not attack. At least, they don't see an attack today.

When Shun was building a position in the Third Division, Wang Qing's passage to Dongquan City had been opened. The work of tens of thousands of people has made the highway appear very fast. To Dongquan City, it means that Wang Qing is connected with Ning'an and Mudanjiang, and all materials and cannons will be continuously transported to Tumen along the Mudanjiang River.

At the time when the Qu army had just taken Surgut and advanced towards Neyuzhovgansk, the Japanese defense had already begun. The army rushed to Dunhua in a steady stream, and then joined the ranks of the Yuan garrison to build a defensive line. The children of the Japanese army in Shenyang and other places in the distance are hurrying away, and at most tomorrow, the strength of four divisions will be gathered here, not including the puppet army.

The Japanese were alarmed, and after the reconnaissance team sent back the information that Antu was under control, they were even more convinced that the enemy was going to use it as a breakthrough point.

They know that skiing is already a compulsory course for the advance army and one of the assessment items. Last year, they suffered a lot in the snow, so they put a lot of effort into ski training.

A ski mountain brigade originally stationed along the Shuangcheng route was also urgently transferred to Dunhua to prevent the advance army from infiltrating the mountains and forests with the advantage of snow marching, or entering North Korea, or highlighting the mountains, and attacking Changchun.

This offensive move of the advance army really frightened them. With such an offensive speed, isn't your own defense a fictitious defense? The reason why he did not break through his position head-on, now it seems that the other side may not have time to find time, or simply did not want to fight.

But the time was close to noon, and the advance army had not moved, according to the time, one hundred and ten kilometers, it would not take three or four hours.

In the construction of the position, Umezu Mijiro was puzzled. Why didn't the other side take advantage of the time needed for the transfer of troops on their side, or attack North Korea or Dunhwa? Doesn't this give yourself time to solidify your defenses?

His confusion is also shared by the generals. Therefore, everyone has the consciousness of fighting desperately at this meeting, and even Ogasawara Shuo has prepared all the only more than 200 planes, even if it is a suicide attack, it will inflict heavy damage on the attacking enemy. But the blood is about to cool down, but the other party has no movement to attack, which is really unreasonable.

Although I can't understand the strategic intentions of the other party, the defense of Dunhua is necessary, so Umezu Mijiro is not a little ambiguous, and the large army and material resources continue to pour into Dunhua, and the second line of defense is set up on the side of the mountain. He didn't seek merit, but he wanted no fault, hoping that the advance army would not really attack, otherwise, he really would not have the confidence to defend.

The same is true on the North Korean side, their defense is carried out in a tense and orderly manner, one by one the civil structure bunkers are splashed with water, layer by layer thickened, the laborers and soldiers are working desperately together, so that these forcibly recruited laborers are very surprised, those soldiers are soaked, their bodies are all stiffened, still running hard, constantly shouting fast and dripping in their mouths, and rarely working hard.
