Lying on the shell box, General Zhukov, who was in a hazy haze, jumped up violently and rushed to the door of the tent in a few steps, without using binoculars, you could see that in addition to the south direction, in the other three directions, countless shells, in the dark night sky, dragged dark red tail flames, constantly falling on their positions.

"What? The Japanese army actually launched an attack at night! Zhukov was taken aback, and within four or five hours of the battle had subsided, the Japanese army attacked again, "It seems that the Japanese army is determined to eat themselves, and it is unconventional!" He thought.

"Staff officer, call the forward position immediately and inquire about the situation!" Zhukov commanded loudly.

At this time, Lieutenant General Godayav, chief of staff of the Front, also hurriedly ran into the tent, "Comrade commander, the Japanese army has launched an attack again, the tent is not safe, guards, immediately escort Comrade Commander into the shelter!" He didn't think much of it, and commanded in a loud voice.

Zhukov didn't move, and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, there's no fuss, during the day, the Japanese army can't take advantage, and at night, the same won't, not to mention, night operations are more conducive to our defense, but the Japanese troops in three directions have launched an attack at the same time, why in the direction of the Kwantung Army, there is no movement, it's abnormal!" ”

As soon as the cannon sounded, Yokota Daisa's face immediately turned pale, "Damn, it's just shelling at this time!" "In no more than five minutes, the Soviet troops on the position will find out that there is an abnormality on the high ground, not to mention, there are two infantry companies and two artillery companies of the defenders, and the team members led by themselves are simply not able to solve all of them, and the Soviet troops on the left and right sides will find out that they are abnormal. The swarms, including themselves and the mountain and forest combat teams, were all shattered here.

"Hayagu! - Hayagus! Yokota Daisa shouted in a rapid and fierce whisper, he had already seen that on the position, the Soviet soldiers in other directions had already shouted and shouted the voice of password contact, and more than half of the soldiers in the second group had not been able to enter the commanding heights.

At this time, there is no room for hesitation. Yokota Osa jumped into the trench violently, drew his command knife, and shouted: "Don't hide, rush into the Soviet fortifications immediately!" The Japanese soldiers, who were still crawling on the snow, immediately stood up. Rushing up like crazy, Yokota Osa jumped off the trench. Grab a soldier. The command knife waved, cut the military iron bucket tied to the soldier to the north, raised the command knife, and stabbed it fiercely.

There was a dull dull sound, and the iron drum burst, and the liquid inside flowed out. In the night, there was a strong smell of gasoline, and more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were carrying gasoline.

Yokota's movements. The Japanese soldiers who were busy untying the gasoline barrels on their bodies were reminded to work in pairs, cut the ropes, and the barrels of gasoline soon flowed into the trenches made of ice and snow, and spread along the high places to the wings.

At this time, the Soviet soldiers, who were awakened by the sound of artillery, had already discovered the abnormal situation on the commanding heights, and in the blink of an eye, the dense light and heavy machine gun bullets swept over, and the Japanese soldiers who were busy with gasoline fell down, and the oil drums on their bodies, the Japanese soldiers who had not had time to put them down, were hit by bullets on the oil drums, "Boom! With a bang, a huge ball of fire burst out of his body, and the Japanese soldiers immediately became burning men, and the smell of barbecue was permeated in the air.

Yokota Osa looked at the soldiers who were struggling in the firelight, the muscles on his cheeks, and twitched a few times, those were soldiers who had been strictly trained by themselves, they were all elites in the Kwantung Army, and they were burned alive by the gasoline on their bodies, and the sharp pain in his heart was, "Evacuate immediately!" He ordered loudly, and the rest of the Japanese soldiers quickly jumped out of the trench and rolled down the snowy slope, knowing that in a few minutes, a place of more than 1,000 meters to the left and right would turn into a sea of fire.

Yokota Osa who was rolling on the snow, although his body was protruding from the snow and stones, he was in severe pain, but his heart was really very excited, and the whole plan was completed beautifully according to his own plan, except for the sudden artillery fire and more than 100 meters of soldiers, the action was perfect.

This is Yokota Daisa, dedicated to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, the strategy, in the face of the Soviet army's fortifications composed of ice and snow, a conventional attack, to no avail, Yokota's plan is to take the mountain and forest combat team as the mainstay, send a small part of the troops, led by himself, sneak attack the commanding heights guarded by the Soviet army, kill the Soviet sentries, and not alarm the other units of the Soviet army, and then, more than a thousand soldiers, each carrying a barrel of 30 kilograms of gasoline, in terms of the position of the commanding height, the gasoline will flow along the fortifications, to the left and right more than a thousand meters, After all the attacking troops have withdrawn, they throw grenades and ignite gasoline.

In this way, a breakthrough with a width of more than 2,000 meters will be formed, and in the flames of gasoline, it is impossible for Soviet soldiers to survive, and then, concentrate artillery fire, bombard both sides of the breakthrough and the rear, and block the Soviet army from blocking the breakthrough, and the Imperial Army troops will immediately rush to attack and control this breakthrough, which is equivalent to opening a big gap in the impregnable ice and snow defense line of the Soviet army.

As for whether the infantry of the Kwantung Army that attacked can withstand the counterattack of the Soviet army and hold the breakthrough, it is not something that Yokota Daisa is worried about, what should be done by himself has been done, and the rest is the task of the infantry.

Rolling to the foot of the mountain, Yokota Osa turned over and jumped up, it only took a few minutes of hard work to gather the troops, turn around, on that commanding height, there was already a fire, the flames were soaring into the sky, the figure of the Soviet soldiers, in the firelight, ran in panic, of course, there were more than a hundred imperial soldiers who remained on the position, I am afraid, at this moment, they were already scorched, this action can be called perfect.

The only regret for Yokota Daisa is that according to his own plan, this operation will not kill a single soldier, quietly sneak attack, quietly evacuate, leaving only more than three tons of gasoline and fire everywhere to the Soviets, but, the favor of Amaterasu, the wind suddenly rose at night, giving him the greatest cover for his operation, this seemingly risky plan, finally completed, "Homecoming!" He gave a short shout, and the figure of the Japanese soldier disappeared into the night.

At a distance of about three kilometers from the commanding heights of the burning Soviet position, several natural boulders constituted an ingenious hidden location, and the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Minamijiro, rubbed his hands excitedly, walked back and forth on the snow hurriedly, and his shiny riding boots stepped on the snow, making a "creak-creak!" "The noise," wants to be west! - Great, beautiful! It's the perfect action! ――This Yokota is really good! Even with more than a dozen generals from the headquarters around him, General Minamijiro made no secret of his praise for Yokota.

remembered that before the action, after listening to Yokota Daisa's plan, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, and his first reaction was, "This guy probably wants to make meritorious service and wants to go crazy, such an unreliable action, it is ridiculous that he actually ran to dedicate himself to himself!" However, with Yokota's in-depth elaboration, he was gradually attracted, perhaps, this was an opportunity to break through Zhukov's ice and snow defense.

Even if it doesn't work, you can try it, anyway, the operation failed, and the loss was the dispensable mountain and forest combat team, which is also the main reason why General Minamijiro, approved Yokota Daisa, the seemingly impossible plan, thinking hard, you might as well go sideways, maybe, there will be unexpected effects.

From the bottom of his heart, General Minamijiro did not think that Yokota's operation could be successful, but he still ignored the dissuasion of the chief of staff, and took a cadre of generals from the headquarters to a place only three kilometers away from the Soviet position.

With great curiosity, General Minamijiro did not hesitate to suppress the order of Prince Zaihito, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Campaign, to postpone the attack by two hours for all the troops of the Kwantung Army that were preparing to attack.

When the Imperial Army in other directions launched an attack, the overwhelming sound of artillery frightened General Minamijiro, he didn't curse anything, this is a unified order of the Far East Campaign Headquarters, and he has no power to stop it, what he can do is that the Kwantung Army troops give Yokota two hours, "The sound of artillery must have alarmed the Soviet soldiers on the position, and Yokota's mountain and forest combat team is very likely to not come back, and will drown in the sea of Soviet soldiers!" Admiral Minamijiro thought with a little regret.

General Minamijiro shook his head a little ridiculously, "I actually ran all the way to the front line because of an officer of Dazuo, unreliable and even some bizarre actions, is there nothing I can do?" So much so that he rushed to the doctor when he was sick? He thought to himself.

Senior General Minamijiro, who had lost interest in watching the battle, turned around and walked back, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, look, the firelight!" -- A fire broke out on the commanding heights of the Soviet position! Suddenly, a major general shouted.

General Minamijiro turned his head suddenly, and when he saw the skyrocketing flames, he could hardly believe his eyes, raised his binoculars and carefully observed, indeed, it was the attack point planned by Yokota Daisa, "Immediately convey my order, all artillery groups, immediately take the commanding heights as the center, within four thousand meters to the left and right, and within five thousand meters of the Soviet position, to carry out blockade artillery bombardment!" ”

"At the same time as the shelling, the 107th Division and the 113th Division, as the first offensive echelon, immediately seized the breakthrough and expanded to the two flanks, and the three divisions and regiments of the Sixth Army and the three divisions and regiments of the Third Army, as the second echelon, immediately attacked in depth behind the Soviet positions after the first echelon controlled the breakthrough! The rest of the troops, as the third echelon of attack, are ready to go on the offensive at any moment! ”

"Yo Xi! Break through Zhukov's defense, right now! Admiral Minamijiro muttered to himself.
