Chapter 278: Air Raid Descends

Compared to the battle on the snowfield, there is a dramatic scene here at the tiger's head.

The Russian attacks were continuous, and the bombardment of tanks began to be irregular. In the second half of the night, as the temperature dropped, it was also cold in the tank, and the bombardment of the tank was tactically prolonged.

Although such a raid did not allow the fortress to rest, the Soviet and Russian troops were also not well.

They were tossed around in panic and nervousness for more than two hours, and it was close to ten o'clock before they completely believed that this was just the other party's attack.

But just as they were about to fall asleep, there was a whistling sound, and a large number of shells flew, and then fell in the mountains and forests in the direction of 'Izbesk', with a loud bang, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the sky burst into flames.

Within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, all the Soviet and Russian soldiers had no intention of sleeping, and they did not dare to leave the designated camping area, but if they did not leave, they were all worried that the shells would fall on their heads.

The loud bang just now had already affected the camp, although it was in the mountain col, but the shelling on the opposite bank was really impossible to dodge, and there were turbulent and tumbling shock waves in front and back, left and right, and even the rocks were crushed, not to mention people.

Even 'Berenevsky' was shocked by the big explosion just now. The violent tremors were comparable to an earthquake, and in terms of direction, they were already very close to the artillery positions there, and they could be hit directly in about two or three kilometers.

Although the artillery positions there are no longer very useful, once they are shelled, the losses of the artillery will be huge, after all, three or four hundred large-caliber guns are placed there. Sure that there would be no shelling, the artillery and shells that had been brought in later were concentrated in the vicinity to facilitate reinforcements on the riverbank.

"Is there still a squad infiltrating in?"

He was in dizzy about whether to transfer there. But he knew that he might not be able to sleep tonight.

Indeed, in order to achieve the purpose of raiding, Pan Mazi calculated the location of the enemy's Shinjuku camp on the map based on the coordinates of the previous round of bombardment. Covering the bombardment was abandoned, and twenty 105 to 150 guns were concentrated and fired, bombarding one point, anyway, it was a waste of shells, concentrated, and the effect could be done well. It can also pay for itself, and it can make the Soviet Russian soldiers unable to sleep peacefully in the violent tremors, and in less than two days, they can be tormented in the bitter cold.

The effect of the violent explosions, which roared from time to time, was obvious, much stronger than the effect of their harassment in braving the bitter cold. The loud bang made the soldiers nervous, and it was difficult to sleep, so they survived the long night in shock.

The guns were incessant all night, and the soldiers who remained at the fortress were equally exhausted. Fortunately, the army in the fortress is enough to rotate. After receiving the defense, they returned to the fortress and fell asleep.

After the same tossing for a night, although the Soviet and Russian tanks worked hard, after all, the caliber of the artillery was too small, and the sound insulation of the mountain was quite good, so the soldiers sleeping in the fortress were not affected.

On the other hand, the Russian warriors. The nerves of the night were tense and they were exhausted. The soldiers who took over the echelon attack on the riverbank were listless, and they were lying on the cold snow with their guns in their hands.

Daytime attacks were also affected as a result. 'Berenevsky' did not give a strong order to continue the original rhythm of the attack, but he did not give up the attack either. His most urgent task at this time was to clean up the mess of last night, pack up the bombed supplies, and look around for a camp where the army could rest. It should also be easy to move.

While he was busy licking his wounds, at this time, in a day and a night, the recruits from Jixi and Mishan had already arrived at the position of the 58th Regiment in the Later Shiken District and arrived at the arsenal.

By the time the recruits saw piles of mortars, grenadiers, and boxes of shells piled up in the snow. They were shocked, but they also wondered where this came from. But they will not be allowed to follow the traces in the mountains into the deep mountains, into the ammunition depot, where they are not close now, who knows if there are any Russian spies in the road.

An army of about 60,000 horses carried the arms from the Flying Tigers and the Oroqen warriors to the Tiger Forest. They went straight through the mountains, unaware that there were secret caves and hundreds of bombers and attack planes in the places where they passed.

When there was a rare calm at the Tiger Head, they rushed to the Tiger Forest in the afternoon, and then entered the Tiger Head Fortress.

Hearing the sound of artillery for the first time, so close to actual combat, made these recruits who had not been trained for a long time both nervous and excited. After they put down the supplies they had transported, they were quickly concentrated in the valley behind the fortress to set up a wooden cage room and a gesture training ground at the place where the division was destroyed by artillery bombardment in Hulin. They also have to go through devil training, at least a month, before it is possible to get them into battle. After all, the situation at this time was still under the control of Xing Yuan's army, and these recruits were just in case.

At the same time, the army of Goudan once again received the equipment for emergency delivery, replaced part of the 38 big covers, and the large army gathered on Yanwo Island and began the shooting training of the new gun adaptation.

Before the assembly, Goudan only made a rough estimate, and the combat power in his hands exceeded about 100,000, not including the 5,000 people stationed in Jiamusi and the more than 15,000 people stationed at the border along the line. But as soon as they gathered, they learned that these Oroqen warriors continued to be joined in the long winter, and the number of troops had exceeded 130,000, plus the border guards and garrisoned several large camps, it had exceeded 150,000 troops.

When the specific number was reported to Dong Ku, Dong Ku's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there would be so many Oroqen warriors, this number does not include those instructors and student soldiers who were originally inside, that is to say, the fairy in the hand of the dog already has about 160,000 combat power, a team that can definitely gallop on the battlefield and not lose the combat power of any country.

The most commendable thing is that these Oroqen warriors have no concept of military salary, they have guns, bullets, and food, and they seem to be satisfied.

With this army, some of Dong Ku's plans can be implemented. Otherwise, his steel will not be able to satisfy the devouring of tanks that are about to hit the production line. Even if a few iron ores are mined at full capacity, they will not meet the need to build armored divisions and replace artillery.

Knowing the specific numbers of this army, Dong Ku arranged for Goudan to improve the command structure and increase shooting training, so as not to be afraid of wasting bullets. Let Mo Rigen hurry up and choose a new camp for the gathered tribesmen, Yanwo Island can only live one or two hundred thousand people, and if there are more, most of the small islands will be submerged as soon as the summer flood comes.

On his side, he is also in full swing producing guns. With the steel that will be able to keep up with the mass production of guns and ammunition, he has to change the equipment of all the troops as soon as possible, if the steel allows, if the time comes, he will help Qiqihar's Lao Zhao also change his clothes. Anyway, it's a devil, and it's a family, and he never thinks about what trouble Lao Zhao will bring to him when he grows stronger.

In this way, the day was spent in the occasional bombardment of tanks of the Soviet and Russian units.

The Soviet and Russian troops have not been able to get within 100 meters, not because they cannot be relied on. Instead, there was no real assault, and as soon as the machine guns rang out in the opposite position, they quickly withdrew. Therefore, in the thick smoke, the Soviet Russian soldiers did not know that fifty or sixty meters in front of the road was no longer passable. There, it's all barbed wire, one after another. There was also a single barbed wire fence pulled horizontally and vertically, making it impossible to get close to the position at all.

After learning that the enemy had adopted the tactics of raiding. Dong Ku didn't find it strange, attrition is a necessary means for any war, which is why he put nearly half of the recruits there, and the rest was assembled in Harbin.

He was giving the dog an emergency outfit at the same time. A large number of tracer bullets were sent to Xing Yuan. In the night battle, Lao Maozi will soon see the light clusters flying all over the sky, and their smoke effect will be much smaller.

By the time the fierce fighting turned to a relatively calm harassment, the artillery positions on the top of the frontal hill of the Tiger Head Fortress had already been partially completed, and according to the requirements of Dong Ku. Increase the density of 75 mountain artillery and field artillery, so that there are artillery on the hills within several kilometers along the line, and prepare for a large-scale tank attack and a large-scale personnel attack by the Russian army.

He knew very well that Stalin's personality would never allow such a defeat, and he would intensify his attacks so that he could get his troops to take root on the banks of the river and prepare for the summer offensive in the ten days when the ice was about to crack before the civilization. Otherwise, attacking across the river, he believed that Lao Maozi would not be so arrogant that they would be able to cross the river.

Sure enough, Dong Ku's guess was correct, and after Stalin received the detailed telegram from 'Berenevsky', he was furious, especially the destruction of the four lightly armed divisions that had entered the territory, which made him even more annoyed. As the 82-caliber mortar data was finalized and mass production had begun, he was angry and gave a mobilization order, and a general also took office in the order and rushed to 'Dalenevchensk' to take over the command.

Infantry, cavalry, and tanks continued to climb over the mountains, along the main Siberian artery, and went straight to 'Dalenevchensk'.

He knew that the time was urgent, and if he could not complete the strategic goal of occupying the other side of the river and gaining a foothold within 10 days, he would lose the best opportunity to attack Heilongjiang.

Once the ice on the surface of the river cracked, he would never have a chance to cross the river easily, and by that time, the cost would be dozens of times.

The actions of Soviet Russia are already in the sight of Dong Ku, and he is also making preparations from all sides, he wants to use the soon-to-be Japanese-made artillery shells to destroy the last madness of Soviet Russia, and make Stalin pay a terrible price for his actions.

After he learned the information that the Russian army was gathering rapidly, the training of recruits turned into physical training, and they continuously diverted the artillery and ammunition from the secret ammunition depot, most of which were transported to Hulin, and a small part to Harbin, in preparation for the fiercest and most brutal battle to come.

In two days, the scale of the outbreak of the battle no longer had large forces collide, the Soviet Russian troops were building camps on the back of the mountain, while waiting for the arrival of the large army, and the attack remained the same, after a burst of tank bombardment, the strength of a battalion approached one or two hundred meters, banged a few shots, and retreated backwards, just like a game.

And Xing Yuan, on his side, also stopped harassing the other side. He just continued to send reconnaissance teams, with ten days of incubation as the limit, and let them squat in the snow, waiting for a big move here, collecting intelligence over there.

Time ticked by, and the two-day calm was shattered by the roar of the plane's motors.

Hearing the report from the front that the Japanese bombers had taken off, Dong Ku's heartstrings were loosened because he was anxiously waiting.

"Oh yes! It's finally here!! ”

He grabbed the phone and first called Qiqihar Lao Zhao, telling him that the Japanese air raid was about to begin, and he took precautions. Subsequently, it was ordered that each group be ready to intercept, and this time, as many planes as they came, they would stay.

With his order, the alarm sounded in the industrial park, and all the ground personnel entered the underground factory one after another, except for the air defense forces and the necessary guarding force, the entire park was empty, and there was no human figure in sight.

Trucks erected their muzzles, and anti-aircraft guns camouflaged with pine branches stuck out their fangs and pointed at the sky. As long as there are planes passing by, there will be no return.

In Harbin, the sirens sounded for a long time, and the soldiers of the advance army arranged for everyone to evade the air defense in an orderly manner, and the anti-aircraft guns mounted on the trucks were also ready to assemble and intercept at any time. Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in hidden places also appeared one after another, lifting the camouflage and firmly protecting the entire Harbin.

At this time, a bombing formation of thirty bombers and fifteen attack planes of the Japanese army had already flown over the twin cities. They did not stay on their positions and had no intention of bombing them.

The Japanese are not stupid, under several artillery bombardments, the positions are very repaired, and they have already deduced the way to repair them, that is, to use ice. Therefore, in the bunker under the ice a few meters later, their aviation orders could not be easily torn apart. Based on this situation, the top brass of the Japanese army put the bombing target in the urban area of Harbin with only one purpose, to blow up the enemy's supply base, blow up the enemy's fighting spirit, and let the fire in Harbin wipe out the enemy's morale gained by successive victories.

As for the twin cities, the Japanese army didn't even think about it, the place there was too small, and the bombing would have little impact on the occupation, and it was close to the front line, so it would naturally work the anti-artillery, which would also reduce the effect of the bombing.

The bombing group had no idea, and in a few minutes they would fly into the cemetery that had been prepared for them for a long time. There, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, dozens of machine guns and hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns were waiting for their arrival.

Dong Ku held the phone in his hand and quietly waited for the report from the walkie-talkie. Along the way, he set up countless observation posts, and even if it was cold, he didn't dare to remove these people easily. These observation posts will not leave their positions until the radar is present.

Falcon, falcon! Sparrow No. 3 called, the migratory birds have returned, and they are about to reach the nearest lake to eat......

With the shouting from the walkie-talkie, Dong Ku yelled on the phone: "All departments are ready, our feast is coming!" (To be continued......)
