Time, as Dong Ku's preparations passed rapidly, and the day of the offensive was getting closer and closer.

The reason why Dong Ku wants to speed up the pace of the offensive is actually very simple, it is winter now, and the land in the northeast is frozen, which is convenient for the movement of tanks and mechs, and it is convenient for attacking North Korea.

North Korea, in his eyes, is not a country, it is the four counties of the Han Dynasty, China's territory, just because of the rampant Japanese invaders, the corruption and cowardice of the Qing Dynasty, and the loss of the territory, or a vassal country.

And there, there are many rivers such as the Yalu River and the Qingchuan River, which will freeze and make it easier for the mecha to cross the river.

In order to achieve a quick victory, the only way to do this was to attack quickly, and before March, we had fought the Yalu River, and when we arrived in Kaihua, we were already outside the 38th parallel.

Why do we want to speed up the expansion of the army, in fact, Dong Ku is well aware of the terrain of North Korea, mountainous terrain, rugged roads, the movement of armored troops can not achieve a rapid breakthrough, the whole line of attack, can only march along the flat place, and the mountainous and hilly areas must be ground troops to attack, so that the whole line can be advanced, otherwise it will be a stalemate battle for the heights, into the attrition of the war.

As the army finished its training, the recruits were retained as supplementary troops, and a small number were incorporated into the veterans, and the troops began to assemble in secret, and the army marched in the snow and wearing snow-white cloaks and trousers along the Shuangcheng and Qiqihar routes.

Helicopters assembled in large numbers and entered the assembly sites on the front line in batches, no more than 30 kilometers away from the Japanese positions, hidden in camouflage nets, ready to attack at any time.

Tanks, armoured vehicles, infantry vehicles, chain-track trucks, wheeled trucks, and three hundred and ten Spitfires. A new type of tank called the Fire Dragon, which has been added to the offensive sequence.

Junzi's army has quietly moved towards Tumen and Antu, targeting Dunhua. His task was to break through to Dunhua, encircle Jilin from the flank, take Jilin as quickly as possible, and then cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Changchun. Assist Sun Tao to conquer Changchun, join forces, go straight to Shenyang, and then wait for Sun Tao to march to Shanhaiguan, he takes over the position of the main attack, attacking Lushun and Dalian.

Sun Tao's army was attacking head-on, and he would break out from the twin cities and go straight to Changchun.

Xing Yuan's army will break through from the Mudanjiang River and join Shunzi. Flank attack Dunhua.

Mo Rigen's five divisions will advance lightly, enter the Tumen River from Antu, and attack Changbai Mountain directly along the mountainous area.

Liu Canghao's army divided into part of Sun Tao's army and Shunzi's army, assisted in liaising with the Anti-Japanese Union, the main force protruded from Qiqihar, captured Baicheng, and attacked Tongliao directly, attacking Siping on the flank. The main force attacked Chifeng, and made way for Sun Tao's army to take Jinzhou directly. Attack Shanhaiguan and enter the pass.

Mongolia, there is no division of troops to attack Shanxi, the troops are too scattered, and the delivery of supplies in the heavy snow is a problem, so. Qu Jungang and others were the main force attacking Shanhaiguan and were not dispersed. Dong Ku was also not worried that the Japanese army in Shanxi would run away. And Lao Zhao, at the beginning of the war, attacked Shandong with all his might, dragged the main force of the Japanese army, and waited for Sun Tao's army to arrive. It won't take more than five days, and from Shanhaiguan, Sun Tao's army can rush along the line there.

In addition to the necessary protective force in Harbin, Liu Hai's army will follow Sun Tao to attack Changchun, as a follow-up force to clean up the remnants of the enemy and stabilize the occupied area.

At this time, the number of all the troops added up made Dong Ku feel a little scary.

Sun Tao's army was originally more than 300,000, and in this nearly month-long expansion, another 150,000 recruits were included, approaching 500,000.

Although the main force of Xing Yuan's group army was in Godan, his recruits totaled more than 200,000. Junzi also gathered an army of 300,000 in intense training, not counting the troops who stayed in the Vladivostok area to assist the Oroqen tribe.

Although Liu Hai's troops were not the main attacking force, they numbered more than 150,000, and all of them followed the movement of the army except for a division left behind in Harbin to take care of important facilities.

As the troops reported one by one, Dong Ku yelled and gave the order to attack.

In Shuangcheng, the artillery that had already highlighted the front line had been training sporadically in the previous few days, pouring shells on the Japanese positions, and although it was not known the losses of the Japanese troops in Ludao, it was inevitable that the Japanese troops were exhausted. Receiving the order to attack, three thousand howitzers of 200 caliber roared at the front of the twin cities.

The screeching of the shells caused the trapped Japanese to reflexively drill deeper into the tunnel, crouching there nervously waiting for the shelling to end.

They knew that if they didn't hide deeper, they would not be able to resist the terrifying shelling of the advance army. These days, they were nervous every day, but after the enemy shelled, they did not attack, and after a long time, the Japanese army was already immune to the shelling.

But this time they were wrong, what they felt in the tunnel was that the ground was shaking, their stomachs were churning, their heads were dizzy, and the explosion in their ears had made them unable to hear much movement, although they were not deaf, but it was almost the same.

One by one, they held their heads, and shrank on the ground in the sand where the trees fell overhead, shivering. On the ground, all the barbed wire fences that surveyed the boundary and the pillboxes that flowed out of them were turned into debris in the sky-high firelight, frozen shrapnel flew everywhere, the rolling heat wave melted the snow around them, the snow rolled up by the shock wave quickly melted in the heat wave, and the dense fog rolled over the more than ten kilometers of defense line shelled by the positions opposite the twin cities, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was gas or explosion smoke, and the visibility was lower than the haze of later generations.

The effectiveness of the group of fifty guns overturned all the ground facilities of the Japanese army's sodium salt, and the dirt on the tunnel was also lifted away, and then fell, turning into a soft sand, slowly steaming.

During the shelling, the Japanese long-range artillery fire was not turned on, and it was extremely quiet, and it seemed that there was no intention to counterattack.

The main frontal attack was Qu Jungang's troops, and his group army was not the main attack, it was just a frontal attack. This attack was a flat push on all fronts, with no primary or secondary priorities.

Looking at the smoke rising in front, Qu Jun just calmly ordered: "The helicopter takes off, destroys all artillery positions in the rear, the armored troops are ready, we are going to attack!" ”

Following Qu Jungang's order, the helicopter that had been waiting for a long time roared and took off, and as it flew over the shells, it burrowed into the dense fog.

The terrible silence of the Japanese positions was not that there was no movement, but that there was no sound of counterattack in the midst of violent explosions.

Soon, after the helicopter in front of it flew, it found that the ground was still a position, and the shelling began to extend. But the helicopter flew out of the city for five or six kilometers, and the Japanese artillery positions were not seen.

After receiving the report from the helicopter, Qu Jun was puzzled, but at this time the offensive had already begun, and there was no room for delay, so he asked the division commander in charge of directing the attack to give the order that the helicopter continue to probe and prepare to bomb the Japanese artillery positions.

At the same time, the armored troops were ordered to cover ten Firefox Spitfire tanks and enter the steaming Japanese positions, and the flamethrowers followed them, and under the cover of armored vehicles and infantry vehicles, entered the positions, cleared the tunnels, and moved forward.

According to his understanding, as soon as their flamethrowers were on, the position here would be completely scrapped, and no one would be able to stop the flamethrowers from burning.

But he didn't know that the Japanese army had made changes to the front-line positions here this winter, and his attack would be stopped here, as would the other troops.

With the roar of the motors, the helicopters roared forward, and soon they were marching fifteen or sixteen kilometers, but they did not see a single artillery piece except for the Japanese position.

The Spitfire tank close to the position aimed at a firing port, and when it exhaled, it erupted into a fire dragon, and then a burst of flames burst into flames.

The armored vehicles that followed escorted the flamethrowers, protected by the infantry, into position, and dragon after dragon pounced on the firing ports.

The fire dragon passed by, and the firing port ignited a sky-high fire, but to the surprise of the soldiers, there was no miserable cry in the tunnel, and there was no fire in those firing ports, as if the firing port was an independent small space, not connected to the tunnel.

In the tunnel, the flames burned fiercely in an extremely small space, and the asbestos cave door was wrapped to block the flames, so that the flames only burned the crooked handles placed in the firing ports, and did not cause damage to the Japanese soldiers who were playing around.

On the next floor of the tunnel, the Japanese soldiers were breathing heavily in the flashlight, apparently beginning to run out of oxygen. But they were all motionless, just half-kneeling, waiting for orders.

What they carried in their hands was a stiff 92 heavy machine gun, an iron fist, a mortar with no legs.

As the flames rose everywhere on the position, the attack was unusually smooth, and it could almost be said that there was no power of Emerald Ash. Although I didn't see the corpses of the Japanese soldiers, everyone knew that the Japanese soldiers who were still alive under the shock of the effective shot would also be carried away by the flames and raised in the tunnel, suffocated to death, and it was normal to have no resistance.

Just as the helicopters continued to be in arrears and searched for the Japanese artillery positions, the snow in front of the bunkers suddenly collapsed, and the doors of the holes wrapped in white cloth fell, and the muzzles of the black holes were exposed.

The helicopter didn't notice the same behind him, still thirty or forty meters away from the ground, whistling in arrears, Feijuan stared nervously at the ground, staring ahead, unaware that the abominable cannon muzzle had been exposed behind him.

In the pre-battle headquarters behind the artillery position, Qu Jungang suddenly felt that something was not right. He didn't fight the Japanese army in one or two battles, and the Japanese army's reaction at this time was too strange.

"Inform the follow-up troops to stop advancing, and the troops who entered the position looked for concealment, searched the position, and opened the pit for inspection!"

As soon as his order was given, suddenly, a whistling sound came, startling the soldiers who were searching and advancing, quickly judging the location of the shells and looking for a hidden location. The tanks were also ordered to stop in front of the second bunker to prevent enemy shelling. (To be continued......)
