For many days, the troops of the two Soviet fronts trapped in the blocking line with the Japanese army, after having no worries, finally broke out with real strength, and more than 2 million Soviet soldiers launched a fierce attack like a tidal tide on a front of hundreds of kilometers from east of Irkutsk in the north to east of Chita in the south.

Although the commanders of the two Soviet fronts did not inform each other in advance of the attack on the Japanese blocking line, the time when the offensive began, with a difference of only half an hour, was chosen at dawn.

On the hundreds of kilometers long front, artillery fire was continuous, the earth trembled, and the Soviet tanks roared, covering the infantry to attack the Japanese positions, among them, especially the attack of the Soviet Outer Khing'an Ridge Front, which was even more ferocious and crazy, more than one million soldiers, overwhelmingly pressed the Japanese positions, and the commander of the front, General Gregarrif, from the beginning of the attack, stood by the telephone inch by the inseparable.

In the face of the unprecedented attack power of the Soviet army, Lieutenant General Haruhiko, commander of the Japanese Far East Campaign Guard Group, finally calmed down after the initial shock, and said to Sakai Daisa, chief of the Operations Division of the Headquarters: "Sakai-kun, the real test moment of the campaign guard cluster has arrived, you immediately convey my order to all the soldiers and officers of the Imperial Army, fight to the death, even if all the members are broken, at any cost, I, Haruhiko Taiichi, will be with the soldiers of the Empire, to meet the moment of loyalty to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

The resistance of the Japanese army was even more crazy and desperate, and in the face of the Soviet soldiers who swarmed up like a tide, the red-eyed Japanese soldiers actually launched a decisive white-knuckle counter-charge in many areas. Rows of Japanese soldiers, armed with 38 guns with bright bayonets, howled and shouted, "Long live the Great Japanese Empire!" "Jumping out of the trenches, he killed the Soviet soldiers head-on like an outlaw.

This style of play is the tactic that the Japanese Army is most proud of, and often at the most critical moment of the battle, it can completely suppress the arrogance of the superior enemy army in the way of white-knuckle charge. When fighting with Russia for the right to control Northeast China, the huge Russian Army was defeated by Japanese soldiers who were small in number but dared to fight desperately and retreated to Russia with bayonets.

This is a glorious achievement that has been recorded in the history of Japan's overseas conquests. Always the pride of the Japanese Army, today. In the face of a tidal wave of Soviet troops. From ordinary Japanese soldiers to high-ranking generals, everyone believes that history will repeat itself!

Therefore, the Japanese troops who carried out the white-knuckle charge were not a certain unit, but the soldiers of the entire division. As if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they shouted this slogan and rushed to the Soviet soldiers desperately.

"Comrade Commander, report to the 18th Army, the 9th Army, and the 21st Army. Attacking the Japanese troops in the front, a counter-charge was carried out! A staff officer put down the phone and reported to the commander of the Outer Khinganling Front, Senior General Gregarif.

"Comrade Commander, the 13th, 14th, and 16th armies report that the troops attacked the Japanese army in front of them and carried out a counterattack with a white-knuckle charge!" There was a staff officer who reported, one after another, that the various attacking units reported a similar situation to the front command.

"Whiteblade Charge?" The corners of General Gregarriff's mouth brought a sneer, "Probably, the Japanese still thought that they were fighting against the tsarist army at the beginning of this century, and they used the old routine!" As expected, they were waiting for the Japanese army to leave the fortifications! He thought to himself, not in a hurry, but in joy.

General Gregarif Huo Ran got up and ordered: "Carry out the second set of attack plans!" ”

According to the order of Commander Haruhiko, at the fateful moment, the Japanese artillery no longer made reservations, all the artillery groups were crazy shelling, while shelling the Soviet tanks and infantry, on the other hand, the Soviet artillery started an artillery battle, at least for the time being, the artillery of both sides was evenly matched, however, this was only a temporary advantage for the Japanese army, after all, regardless of the number or caliber of artillery, the Soviet artillery far exceeded the Japanese artillery.

"Report to Your Excellency the Commander, I received a call from the artillery commander that our artillery, suppressed the Soviet artillery and provided effective artillery support for the forward positions, and the offensive momentum of the Soviet army was contained!" A staff officer put down the phone and shouted to Lieutenant General Haruhiko in ecstasy.

"Really!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko raised his eyebrows slightly, in his heart, he was not very happy, his own family affairs, his own know, how many family backgrounds the Far East Campaign Guard Group Artillery, Haruhiko himself knows, has always avoided large-scale artillery battles with Soviet artillery, just because the artillery is too much weaker than the Soviet artillery, but today it is broken, such an advantage cannot be maintained for long.

"The artillery positions of the Far Eastern Campaign Rear Guard Cluster will soon be submerged under the rain of Soviet artillery, including the white-knuckle charge counterattack that is now underway, perhaps, the last swan song of the Far Eastern Campaign Rear Guard Group! The bayonets of the soldiers of the Reich could not fight the artillery of the Soviet army! Lieutenant General Haruhiko thought gloomily.

However, he did not stop such an action, holding the position, it is a safe way to play, but in the face of the Soviet army's all-out attack, the position will be broken through by the Soviet army sooner or later, it is better to let go of your hands and feet, perhaps, it will create a miracle, as long as the most ferocious attack of the Soviet army can be beaten down, next, the morale of the soldiers on both sides will be reversed, and it may not be known to hold the defensive line?

Although dispatching hundreds of thousands of soldiers to carry out a terrifying white-knuckle charge could better embody the spirit of the samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, Lieutenant General Haruhiko did not agree with such a tactic, but it was the only way to turn the tide of the battle at the moment.

The form on the battlefield has changed again, the Soviet tank units that are on the offensive suddenly stopped attacking, the Soviet tanks in front stopped advancing, and the tanks of the Third Army in the rear quickly stepped forward, changing from the original wedge-shaped offensive formation to a defensive formation lined up, and the Soviet infantry accompanying the tank attack also established a firepower point on the spot, and a light and heavy machine gun was erected between the tanks and the tanks.

This is the second set of plans for the offensive tactics of General Gregariv, that is, the white-knuckle charge and counter-assault against the Japanese army, and the transition between attack and defense.

The Japanese soldiers shouted wildly in the wilderness, the Japanese soldiers like the yellow tide rushed over all over the mountains, quickly approaching the Soviet army, and the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front could see the Soviet tanks, the black hole of the muzzles, many fanatical Japanese soldiers, wrapped their grenades all over their bodies, preparing to turn themselves into a human bomb once they got close to the Soviet tanks, and the Japanese soldiers who held this idea believed that their souls would enter the Yasukuni Shrine and be endlessly admired by future generations!

However, the ruthless facts shattered the fanatical illusions of the Japanese soldiers, and on the position composed of tanks, I suddenly remembered the stormy roar of light and heavy machine guns and tank machine guns side by side, like a metal storm blowing on the flat ground, and countless light and heavy machine gun bullets slammed into the Japanese soldiers head-on.

Flesh and blood flying, flying in the sky of a puff of blood flowers, blooming in the shimmer before dawn, the clear air, instantly rendered into a faint blood red, the pungent smell of blood permeated, high-speed rotating metal projectiles, with a huge impact, the Japanese soldiers as if cutting sorghum stalks, swept down in pieces, the body of the Japanese soldiers who rushed to the front, broken in two, beaten to pieces.

The bloody corpses of the Japanese soldiers, layer by layer paved on the road of the charge, paved with the Far East, covered with ice and snow, the Soviet light and heavy machine gun shooters and tank gunners, fought so comfortably in their hearts, the attack was frustrated for seven or eight days, and each time it was to drop the corpses of countless comrades.

At this time, the artillery battle between the Soviet army and the Japanese artillery, as judged by Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the Japanese artillery, which was at a considerable disadvantage, maintained its parity for only more than 30 minutes, and then attracted more fierce retaliatory artillery bombardment by the Soviet artillery.

The hail of shells fell on the Japanese artillery positions, blowing up the Japanese artillery into piles of scattered parts, and the detonating shells added to the tragedy, and all the Japanese artillery positions were covered by the destruction of the Soviet artillery that exceeded their own number by several times.

General Gregarif had already walked out of the tent and came to a high ground, holding a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield, and he was very satisfied with the current development situation, if the Japanese army did not adopt the counterattack tactics of white-knuckle charge and negotiate the battle of the Japanese blocking line, it would have to be extended for a long time, after all, the defense system built by the Japanese commander, before that, let his troops suffer a lot.

"If we continue to fight like this, after a few hours, the Japanese army's vital strength will be almost exhausted, and then, at the fastest speed, we will rush to the Far East battlefield!" Admiral Gregarif happily thought that he had already made a clear judgment in his heart about the outcome of this attack, and for many days, the irritability that had been accumulated in his heart was empty!

"Your Excellency, the troops of the Imperial Army, which carried out a white-knuckle charge counterattack, were killed and wounded by Soviet tank fire and infantry heavy weapons, and suffered heavy casualties, commanders of the front line, ask for artillery support!" The head of the Operations Division, Sakai Daisa, put down the phone and said with a pale face.

"Artillery support?" Lieutenant General Haruhiko smiled bitterly, the current condition of the artillery is worse than that of the infantry, "Sakai-kun, where is the chief of staff of Shinno?" He suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the war.
