Chapter 301: Engagement!

The commander of the army was generally silent and prepared.

After receiving the information from the reconnaissance force, Blyukhel sneered and summoned several of his commanders to deploy the battle plan.

Then I saw Blyukhel spread out the map and said in a deep voice to the several army commanders under his command: "Comrades, now our forward troops have found the main force of the Northeast Army!" Their troops of about 5,000 people in the Sifang village of the map are trying to block the advance of our army with positional warfare! ”

Hearing Blyukhel's words, several army commanders all breathed a sigh of relief! These commanders all knew that the hapless Vtoriac had been shot in the head by a sniper from the Northeast Army.

After that, although the Soviet army took precautions, several regimental and brigade-level officers were killed by snipers of the Northeast Army! This made the generals of the entire Far Eastern Special Army panic, and they didn't know when they were accidentally seen by the snipers of the Northeast Army!

Yes, when they heard Blyucher talk about the Northeast Army's preparation for a positional war with them, they all breathed a sigh of relief! They are all veterans, and if it is a direct battle, it is not terrible! It's the enemies that come out of nowhere! What is terrible is the fear of not knowing when I will be beaten into a rotten watermelon by a sudden bullet.

"Now I command!" Blyukhel couldn't help but sigh when he saw the faces of these commanders, he knew this fear. Fortunately, now that things have passed, the Soviet army will face the familiar pattern of positional warfare!

And after listening to Blyukhel's order, all the military commanders stood up at once! Blyucher said in a deep voice: "Now I order the Fifth Army and the tank brigade directly under the group army to be the vanguard and launch an attack on the Northeast Army in the position!" ”

"The artillery support of the artillery divisions directly under the group army, and the tank brigade opens the way for the Fifth Army! Then the Fifth Army launched an offensive and directly occupied the enemy positions! As he spoke, he saw Blyukhel whispering to the group of generals: "The Eighth Army is attacking from the flank of the enemy's position, and the Tenth Army is responsible for guarding the safety of the artillery position!" The Ninth Army is a reserve waiting for orders at any time! ”

Listening to Blyukhel's words, the generals recorded the orders in their notebooks "brush~brush~brush", and did not dare to slack off at all! Rumble!! "Boom, I saw that the position was dusty!" Countless mud, barbed wire, and horses were set off by this explosion! The position was filled with gunsmoke

After the first round of shelling, the observers of the forward positions reported the effect of the shelling to the rear! Then, the Soviet artillery adjusted their own Zhuyuan and launched an artillery bombardment again!

"Boom! Rumble!! The explosion of the shells was heard in the position, and the soldiers of the 3rd Division in the tunnel opened their mouths wide as they watched the "poof~poof~poof......" that was constantly being shaken off by the shells.

Not because of surprise, but in order to reduce the damage of the shock wave caused by the shell.

After this shelling, the artillery of the Soviet army adjusted again and carried out continuous shelling of this position!

"Boom! Rumble!! "Boom" continued to bombard, causing the whole position to look like it was about to collapse! And the horse rejection and anti-tank trenches that were prepared were almost all razed to the ground!

The shelling lasted about 40 minutes before it slowly ended. And after the end of the shelling, the tanks of "Long ~ Long ~ Long ~ Long" also began to think about the position attack!

Tian Jixiang rushed out of the anti-artillery tunnel as soon as the shelling ended, regardless of the fact that he was a little dizzy from the shelling, and the first position that came into his eyes was a mess!

There were bombed fragmented trenches everywhere, and the soldiers, who were observers outside the position, no longer knew where they had been bombed. Some of the anti-artillery holes were blown down in this saturated shelling, and the sleepers that built the anti-artillery holes were lifted by shells! Flesh and blood were thrown into battle together!

Among the burning sleepers and mutilated corpses, the Soviet tank troops "Long~Long~Long......" were killing towards the position!! The next day, the Far Eastern Special Army was stunned to find that the small force that had been harassing them all this time had suddenly disappeared without a trace! Although there are still cold guns, mines, and traps on the road from time to time...... And so on and so on and so on.

But compared to the previous days, when almost every kilometre was hit several times, this is much better.

I believe that the enemy commander must have seen this, and all this unit of the Northeast Army can do now is to concentrate its own forces and block the advance of the Far Eastern Special Army with positional warfare!

And according to the secret telegram of the fleet of the Amur region, now they are also being blocked on a large scale! This force seems to be very good at harassing and blocking wars, constantly causing problems for the fleet in the Amur region along the way.

This led to a slow advance of the fleet in the Amur region, and also caused a certain number of casualties. However, in Blyuhel's view, all this was in vain, and the enemy was merely delaying his own demise.

Judging from the intelligence and aircraft reconnaissance, his own troops are several times larger than this blocking force of the Northeast Army! The equipment is also definitely stronger than the other side, so this unit has no other way but to constantly harass itself!

As long as this force can be forced into positional warfare, then what awaits them is nothing but destruction!

"Comrade Chuikov, order the troops to step up their march!" Then I saw Blyukhel whispering to Chuikov: "No matter what happens to Comrade Rokossovsky now, we must rush to Harbin before dark!" Send a telegram to the commander of the fleet of the Amur region, Comrade Ozorin, telling him that he must rush to Harbin to join us by noon tomorrow! Wage a decisive battle against the enemy! ”

Chuikov heard Blyukhel's words and replied loudly: "Yes!!" Then he rode down and gave orders.

At this time, Tian Jixiang, who had been busy in the grass and fields for several days, could finally get a good night's sleep! I saw this meatball-like guy squinting his eyes in the command pit and snoring as loudly as the sky!

And the officers and men of the Third Division who participated in the blocking and harassment of the Soviet army were also like their own division commanders, who fell asleep in their tunnels.

There were only more than 700 people who followed Tian Jixiang to block the Soviet Far East Special Army, and the remaining officers and men of the Third Division were all silently building their own positions in Sifang Village.

The villagers had already been relocated to Harbin, and the deserted village was covered with trenches, tunnels, anti-tank trenches, horse rejections, wires, and other obstacles used for positional warfare.

When this position was settled by Tu Qianjun, the soldiers of the Third Division began to build and excavate the fortifications overnight! Within a few days, with the strong support of all parties, the construction of this fortification finally took shape!

Although it may not be able to block the enemy's heavy artillery, the officers and men of the general artillery bombardment and the attacking third division are still sure to be able to withstand it.

Although Tian Jixiang led most of the blocking soldiers back to the position, he still left about a hundred elite troops to delay the advance of the Soviet army by traps, mines and other means!

After all, one more Soviet loss would have reduced the pressure on the Third Division. The more the Soviets arrived, the more time the 3rd Division would have to prepare.

The officers and men of the Third Division all know that now the Soviet army of more than 40,000 troops is coming towards this position! And the task given by the commander of their First Army was to ask them to delay the other side for at least an hour before letting them in.

The Third Division is nothing more than a force of 3,000 men! The rest of the brothers were either killed in battle, lying in the hospital, holding off the enemy's elite army of 40,000 with 3,000 troops! If it had been replaced by other troops, some people would have deserted a long time ago, or complained that the army commander had cheated them.

But the 3rd Division is a unit of the First Army, and this unit has never complained or refused! They just silently brought back the brothers from the hospital who were still able to fight with minor injuries, and then built the fortification in silence!

They pressed all the bullets, and the mortars of the division were quietly prepared in the artillery fortifications! They waited indifferently for the arrival of the Soviet army, knowing that they would face a bloody storm! Perhaps many of the battles will lose their limbs or ...... in this battle Life!

But they remained silent, just like they were
