General Minamijiro, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Kwantung Army, said these words, his face was calm, and he couldn't see any psychological activity, but the faint coercion that was inadvertently revealed still made Yokota Dazuo's heart tighten, this is the natural temperament of the superior, holding more than 100,000 Kwantung Army generals, in a word, can make tens of millions of people bleed into a river, his own little Dazuo, is not enough to see.

Unconsciously, Yokota Osa put away the slightest arrogance in his heart, and became a little uneasy, he took the liberty of asking to see the commander-in-chief today, which is a risk in itself, or rather, a gamble, if you want to change the current embarrassing situation of the mountain and forest combat team, and no longer be a cold bench, then this risk, you must take it, not to mention, before that, I took my subordinates and did a lot of homework regardless of the danger.

Then let's fight, perhaps, after this incident, the status of the mountain forest combat team within the Kwantung Army has risen to a new height, and it may not be known, thinking of this, Yokota Osa calmed down, and looked at General Minamijiro without fear.

"Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Yokota has taken the liberty to ask for a meeting, and I have something important to report!" Yokota said.

As if he hadn't heard his words, General Minamijiro signed the text sent by a staff officer, and then said without looking back: "Yokota Daisa, you only have three minutes, the military situation on the front line is urgent, and I don't have time to waste unnecessary conversations!" ”

"Three minutes—?" Yokota's pupils shrank, his own strategy could not be explained in three or two minutes, this was a risky operation with a great gambling nature, and if the commander-in-chief could not be satisfied, the survival of the mountain and forest combat team would be in jeopardy, and it might be in danger of disbanding, among the officers at all levels of the Kwantung Army Headquarters. For the survival of the mountain and forest combat team, there have long been complaints.

The words of General Minamijiro forced Yokota Daisa to a desperate situation, and at this time, Yokota Daisa instead gave birth to a cross-heart, "Commander-in-Chief, the department knows very well that you are distressed about how to break through the ice and snow defense line of the Soviet army!" Yokota Osa also let go, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he went straight to the point.

"Oh-?" Admiral Minamijiro was not as Yokota Daisa had expected. Because of his earth-shattering words, he was surprised or left a shocked expression, and he didn't even turn his body around, but he just let out a salty sound.

Sweat on Yokota's head. It's down, and it's over. He had to bite the bullet and go down. "Commander-in-Chief, the rank knows that Officer Yokota is soft-spoken, but I and my mountain and forest combat team have been active in the vicinity of Soviet positions. After reconnoitring and observing, at a small cost, an effective way to break through the defensive positions of the Soviet troops was found, and the commander-in-chief was worried. As a member of the Kwantung Army, I should share your worries for you, and this is also the unshirkable responsibility of the soldiers of the Imperial Japan! ”

General Minamijiro finally reacted, turned around, and looked at the rigid Yokota Osa with a very playful face, trying to verify his words from this guy's body, there is a bit of truthfulness, under the gaze of General Minamijiro's eagle falcon, the gloom in Yokota's eyes became more and more intense, and his face became more resolute.

"I'm suddenly a little interested in what you're saying, and I'll give you another fifteen minutes to explain your plan!" General Nanjiro nodded slightly, and said with some appreciation in his tone, there are not many middle-level officers who can maintain such composure under their own gaze, not to mention a small Dazuo, even those major generals and lieutenant generals who command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be a little cramped and uneasy when they are stared at by themselves for a few minutes.

This guy is not bad, he has never changed his face, no matter whether his method is feasible or not, at least it shows that this guy's mind is firm and meets the standards of an officer of the Great Japanese Empire, and on this basis, Admiral Minamijiro has an interest in wanting to hear what Yokota said.

The night is getting more and more intense, and the wind blowing from the direction of the Sea of Okhotsk is whistling strongly, rolling up the snow everywhere, affecting the already dark night, but it is not as cold and biting as the moon ago, and the wind is blowing strongly, with a hint of warmth, if you don't pay close attention, you can't feel it at all, and spring in the Far East is not far away.

After a whole day of bloody fighting, everyone was exhausted, although here, there was no fierce battle in other directions, but, after more than a month of continuous fighting, no matter how strong the soldiers, they would be tired, fatigue had penetrated into their bones, wrapped in overcoats, curled up in the cold ice and snow trenches, guns were placed by their side, maybe when they jumped up, facing the crazy and hideous faces of the Japanese soldiers.

However, the rare tranquility after the great war, not to mention prompted the Soviet soldiers to fall asleep, therefore, on the Soviet position, in the curved and spreading ice and snow trenches, there were soldiers staggering and sleeping everywhere, only the sentries were still nervously vigilant, and their eyes did not dare to blink, focusing on the dark front of the night, trying to listen to the abnormal sound, but unfortunately, the snow rolling up in the sky not only obstructed the sentry's vision, but also confused their hearing.

The 11th Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, to which the 11th Army belonged, defended its position in the direction of facing the Japanese Kwantung Army, a prominent commanding height, several lines of communication trenches and trenches poured with ice and snow, from here it winded to both sides, standing on this commanding height, you can look around the area of more than ten kilometers to the left and right, and the firepower on the commanding heights can support a distance of several kilometers nearby.

Obviously, this is the key defensive area of the First Army, on a commanding height, two companies of infantry are deployed, in addition, an artillery company, an anti-tank artillery company are also deployed, light and heavy machine guns from the ice-covered fire point, sticking out of the muzzle of the black hole, just in today's daytime battle, the bullets and shells sprayed from this commanding height, enough to kill more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, more than a dozen Japanese tanks.

Relying on the ice and snow fortifications as hard as steel, the Soviet defenders on the commanding heights withstood the bombardment of a large-caliber artillery group of the Japanese army for more than three hours, and the sentry Sergeichenko, holding a rifle, leaned on the firing hole of the fire point, and from time to time cast his eyes to the front of the wind howling, the snow covered the sky, and the night was like ink, this is a very serious young soldier, faithfully performing the duties of the sentry.

It's just that the damn weather extinguished a lot of Sergeichenko's vigilance, and whenever he put his head close to the shooting hole, the salty wind would fill his mouth, choking him and drowning violently, and the wind pouring in along the collar of his coat made him shiver again and again, "Damn the weather, it's May, and it's still freezing!" Sergeichenko couldn't help but curse.

It's still good to be home, every year in this season, the grass is already green, the willows are green, and the flowers are red, Sergeichenko thought so, tightened the collar of his coat, shrunk his head, found a leeward corner, held the rifle in his arms, and remembered his thoughts in a daze.

"Whoa!" With a roar, the howling wind blew open the curtain of the tent, and on the table made of shell boxes, a large stack of papers, blowing everywhere, the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, General Zhukov, frowned, glanced at the chaotic night sky, the strong wind, blowing through the branches of the low bushes, and making a sharp whistling sound, "Comrade Chief of Staff, please come to me!" Zhukov said to a staff officer on duty.

After a while, the Chief of Staff of the Far Eastern Front, Lieutenant General Godayav, while fastening the buttons of his military uniform, hurried over, "Comrade Commander, is there any emergency?" He asked eagerly.

Zhukov, who was not sleepy, his eyes were bloodshot and his emaciated cheeks looked solemn, and he said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, under such weather conditions, it is really conducive to the solidity of our ice and snow fortifications, but it is also conducive to the Japanese army to carry out a sneak attack, you immediately call the commander of the group army at the front and remind them to let the comrades work harder, and the number of sentries on each position should be more than doubled!" ”

Private Sergeichenko, who was huddled in the firing point, didn't know at all that his comrade Supreme Commander, because of such a night, became alert, under the cover of his coat, there was no such bone-chilling chill on his body, but his boots covered with snow were as cold as ice, and his feet were so cold that he lost consciousness, "Damn the weather in the Far East!" He stood up, moved his numb feet, poked his head out of the collar of his coat, and leaned over to the shooting hole.

Suddenly, a black shadow, as if out of the snow, suddenly appeared, ghostly, instantly behind Sergeichenko, a big hand, tightly covered his mouth, a sharp dagger, a brisk flash, cut his carotid artery, a puddle of blood, silently sprayed in the wind, Sergeichenko's eyes widened, between his throat, there was a "gurgling" sound, the color of life in his eyes soon disappeared in the Far East full of ice and snow.

Yokota Osa gently put the body of the Soviet sentry on the snow, and with a wave of his hand, the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters in snow combat uniforms, the soldiers directly under the mountain and forest combat team, jumped into the firepower point lightly, Yokota Osa made a gesture silently, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers quietly touched both sides of the fortifications, and after a while, in the fortifications on the left and right sides, the Soviet sentries within a range of more than 200 meters nearby were killed in the same way.

In the snow in front of the Soviet position, more white figures suddenly appeared, in the dark night of the wind howling and the snow was covered, the figures of the Japanese soldiers were completely hidden in the wind and snow, and the first batch of Japanese soldiers who jumped into the Soviet fortifications were different, and the latter group of Japanese soldiers were carrying a heavy military iron bucket, and the number was nearly 1,000 people.

"Boom, boom!" A fierce cannon fire suddenly echoed in the night.
