The news that the Ninth Theater had recovered Jinzhou and was preparing to march to Mukden also shook China, and the intellectuals were greatly encouraged by both the occupied areas and the nationalized areas, and what people were most concerned about now was when the troops of the Ninth Theater would march to Mukden, and some students in the school even raised the slogan of 'Fight to Mukden and recover the whole of the northeast,' and various patriotic movements were also in full swing.

Unlike the jubilant Chinese people, the Japanese troops in China at this time felt great pressure. The Kwantung Army in Manchuria has always been set up as Japan's strategic reserve, and its combat effectiveness is also the strongest among the Japanese army, but now the Kwantung Army, which is Japan's strategic reserve, has been defeated again and again by Chahar, and cities have been lost one after another, which has made the Japanese troops on the battlefield in Kannai begin to feel a trace of panic and uneasiness.

The commander of the Second Division of the Japanese Army of the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters, Okamura Ninji, and the commander-in-chief of the Dispatch Army, General Sugiyama Moto, were playing Go, and a big dragon of Kuroko on the chessboard had been tightly surrounded by white characters, and Kuroko desperately rushed to the surroundings to rush out of a piece of sky, but he was still tightly surrounded by Baizi, and in the end he had to helplessly stop this useless work.

Sugiyama Yuan reluctantly threw the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard, "Alas, no. It seems that I really am no match for Okamura-kun. I don't dare to invite you to play chess again this time. Okamura Ninji said respectfully: "Your Excellency Commander is just not thinking about this chessboard, if you can hit the spirit, the humble post will definitely not be your opponent." ”

Sugiyama Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "Okamura-kun, don't put gold on my face, my own strength is still clear to me, your chess skills are not your opponent except for Ishihara Waner in Manchuria." "Ishihara-kun?" Okamura Ninji sighed in a daze, "Ishihara-kun's life is not easy now!" ”

Sugiyama Yuan snorted, "These people are really arrogant, they dare to shout at the 600,000 army of Mukden with more than 200,000 troops, and the Kwantung Army is really too uncompetitive, and it is really unreasonable to have superior forces but suffer defeats one after another." ”

Okamura next to him shook his head lightly, defending the Kwantung Army: "Ishihara-kun, they also have difficulties!" After hearing this, Sugiyama Yuan stopped gnawing, and the difficulties of Ishihara Waner and Umezu Mijiro The senior generals all understood that the words of later generations were: It's not that the imperial army is incompetent, but that the opponent is too powerful.....

On the morning of 3 June of the 30th year of the Republic of China, General Wang Yizhe, commander of the Ninth Theater of Operations in China, officially sent a telegram to the whole country: Starting today, the Heilongjiang Group Army will officially launch a campaign to comprehensively recover the three northeastern provinces, and the million-strong army of the Seventh Theater will simultaneously launch an all-out attack on the 500,000 Kwantung Army entrenched in the northeast from the three directions of Liaoning, Hailandpao, and Vladivostok. At the same time, Wang Yizhe advised the Kwantung Army to surrender immediately and unconditionally, otherwise he would not mind sending all the Kwantung Army to hell.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the 350,000 troops of the Siberian Group, which had already assembled in Hailanpao, took the lead in launching an attack on Heilongjiang, led by more than 300 "Northwest Tiger" tanks of Bai Yingliao's First Armored Division and more than 500 fighters of the Second and Third Air Divisions.

At the same time, Vladivostok's 150,000 expeditionary army, under the command of Hao Ming, also began to attack the Jilin defenders who were facing the enemy. However, Jilin was garrisoned by 200,000 field divisions, so although the offensive of the expeditionary group army was also fierce, the progress was not as smooth as that of the Siberian group commanded by Huang Xiansheng. Hao Ming commanded an army of 150,000 troops to storm for two days with the cooperation of aircraft and heavy artillery, but only advanced less than two kilometers.

As for Mukden, Chang Jingwu commanded an army of 400,000 to kill Mukden, the center of Japanese rule in Manchuria. For a while, the eyes of the whole world were focused on the Northeast, and the Western world was exclaiming, this is a battle between two countries in the East that will determine their fate and future. If Japan is defeated, Japan, which has lost the northeast, will completely lose the initiative in China. If Wang Yizhe is defeated, the Kwantung Army will inevitably take the opportunity to advance westward and attack the provinces of Shandong, then the powerful military industrial enterprises, financial centers and Dongying oil fields that Shandong has operated for many years will inevitably fall into the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese, who have obtained these rich resources, will easily defeat the Chongqing government in China by relying on these resources. In this war, no one can afford to lose, and for both sides, taking a step back is an abyss.

Wang Yizhe and Jiang Baili of the Harbin Ninth Theater Command stood beside a huge sand table and watched as the staff officers next to them used a wooden pole to move forward the model tanks, model airplanes, villains and small flags representing the troops. There are also different reports on the battle reports that have just come from various units.

"The offensive of the Siberian Army Group is going well, it has now occupied the city of Sunoo and is advancing towards Bei'an.".

Hao Ming reported that they had met with stubborn resistance from the defenders of Jilin, and that their progress was slow! …”

"Chang Jingwu reported that they had advanced to 50 kilometers from Mukden, and the vanguard had already engaged the Japanese Kwantung Army stationed in Mukden. …”

"Good! Order the troops to intensify their attacks! It is necessary to make the Japanese army breathless, as long as the Siberian cluster can successfully attack Jilin and annihilate the 200,000 Kwantung Army stationed in Jilin with Hao Ming, then the big thing will be decided......" Wang Yizhe, who personally commanded this battle that could be called the fate of the whole country, felt a little hot in his palms, and sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead.

"Why, aren't you a little nervous!." Jiang Baili on the side asked with a smile.

"Yes! This battle is too important for us in Huaxia, and it would be a lie to say that we are not nervous. Wang Yizhe smiled bitterly and nodded.

Today, although our General Wang Yizhe can already be called experienced in a hundred battles and has commanded many battles, it stands to reason that he will not be too nervous, but this battle is too important, so important that no one can afford to lose, and it is impossible for our General Wang Yizhe not to be nervous.

Wang Yizhe thought about it and ordered: "Order Gao Zhihang, the bomber group and the heavy bombers to increase the intensity of bombing the Mukden defenders" I don't believe it, until now, those little Japan still dare to play peek-a-boo with me! ”

"Wang Yizhe is right, the Fengtian defenders, who had been scattered like sheep in order to avoid aircraft bombing, have regrouped and are ready to start meeting the menacing 400,000 troops commanded by Chang Jingwu.

However, as soon as the Japanese army, which had lost air supremacy, was indiscriminately bombed by bomber groups that had long been on standby, resulting in heavy casualties.

Umezu Mijiro was already struggling to hold on, and now the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops and Manchukuo puppet troops around Mukden had been blown up by the overwhelming bomber swarms and thousands of heavy artillery swarms. The Kwantung Army was fine, after all, there was still the spirit of bushido barely supporting it, but the Manchurian puppet army did not have this kind of perseverance, and the only thing they could do was pray that the bombs would not fall on their heads.

On the third day of the battle, the Siberian Army Group, which poured in like a tidal wave, occupied the entire territory of Jining with lightning speed, and the commander of the garrison of Jinin, Lieutenant General Kaota Suichi, committed suicide by disembowelment when the city was broken.

Huang Xiansheng, who was unforgiving, commanded the army to kill Jilin without stopping, preparing to defeat the Jilin defenders together with Hao Ming's expeditionary group army. At this critical moment, an emergency meeting was held at the Japanese base camp under the chairmanship of Hirohito himself.

Hirohito, dressed in military uniform, sat on a large, imposing throne. Behind him are several ancient and luxurious gold screens, showing the extraordinaryness of this Yamato emperor. But at this time, the Son of Heaven sitting on it no longer has the majesty of the world, and his emaciated face is full of sorrow. But at this time, no one came to remind him of His Majesty's disgrace of the Emperor, because now everyone's mood is the same, and everyone should not laugh at the second child.

"Zhuqing, now that the Manchurian situation is critical, do you have any countermeasures?" Hirohito, as the leading brother, spoke first.

"Your Majesty!" The new military vice minister Hideki Tojo was the first to stand up, "Now that the Shina people are menacing, the Kwantung Army has no way to retreat, and we can only fight to the death with it to protect the national capital of our empire." ”

"Tojo-kun's move is to put my hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army and millions of people in the reclamation regiment to death." Prince Zairen of the Xianyuan Palace stood up and shouted loudly. "Now the people of China have an absolute advantage, and they have surrounded the Mukden, especially the Siberian Army Group has occupied Jining and is rushing towards Shenyang, if the 200,000 troops in Shenyang are also surrounded or shattered, then the 300,000 troops of Mukden will not be spared, how can we fight to the death with the people of Shina?"

"Humph! If you don't fight to the death, do you still have to surrender to the people of China? Hideki Tojo scoffed.

"No, they can retreat to North Korea and rely on the favorable terrain of North Korea to resist tank clusters and attacks from the air in China."

"But what hope was there for an empire that had lost Manchuria? If the empire loses Manchuria, the only thing that awaits us is destruction. ”

"Could it be that if we resist, we will be able to keep Manchuria? Umezu-kun had just arrived, and now he couldn't even get twenty planes to take off, and there were so many planes in the sky over Mukden that even throwing stones down could drown the Imperial soldiers. But what about our planes, and where are the planes of our empire? ”

Looking at Prince Zaihito of the Idle Palace, who was almost in a hysterical situation, everyone was silent. Once upon a time, the Japanese Kwantung Army, known as the flower of the imperial army, was so high-spirited, they had long ceased to regard the Chinese army as an opponent, but only three years later, it had fallen to the point of being completely annihilated, what an irony!

Just when everyone was silent and relatively speechless, the chief of the guard, Lieutenant General Anan Yuji, hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty, Umezu Mijiro has called the future, and the people of China have used a large number of incendiary shells and high-explosive shells and thousands of heavy artillery to storm the Fengtian defense line, and the Fengtian defenders have suffered heavy casualties, and so far there have been nearly 100,000 casualties. Senior General Umezu Yoshijiro claimed that without new reinforcements, they would be able to hold out for a week at most. ”

This news made matters worse completely shattered Hirohito's will, and after sitting on the throne for a while, Hirohito opened his mouth, raised his trembling right hand and pointed to the ministers and said, "Order the Kwantung Army to retreat, all to Korea." ”

"Your Majesty! No! A group of young Zhuang faction officers led by Hideki Tojo wept bitterly and fell to their knees on the ground, howling like a dead father.

"The alliance has been decided, and the secretaries must not say much, and whoever does not listen to the will of the union will be regarded as disloyal to the couplet." Hirohito squeezed the words out of his teeth and stood up, walking behind the screen with a sloppy step. Only a group of generals in pain were left behind.

A series of violent explosions that swept through the air fell on the position, and Private Mikami Yuta lay on his head in the foxhole he had just dug with his head in his hands, and pressed his head tightly to the ground, not even daring to raise his head, allowing the violent explosions to sound next to him.

The explosion was so strong that even Mikami Yuta, who was a hundred meters away, was shocked to the chest, and he didn't even notice that his ears had been shaken out of a trace of bright red liquid when he was tightly covering his head with his hands.

Mikami Yuta's position had been attacked by the Chahar Expeditionary Army on the opposite side for three consecutive days, and every day it was bombarded with heavy artillery and then tank clusters, and the Expeditionary Army was bombarding the Japanese positions inch by inch with powerful artillery fire.

As of today, there are only more than 100 people left in the 3,800-strong wing to which Mikami is located, and this number was counted last night, and after nearly an hour of shelling just now, I am afraid it will be reduced by more than half.

Time flies, but it seems like a century has passed, and the shelling finally stops. Mikami was almost certain that today would be his last day in this world, and according to the experience of the past few days, in a few minutes the infantry or chariots on the opposite side would rush straight at him, and with less than 200 troops on the position, he would not be able to resist the charge of those Shina soldiers armed to the teeth. The only thing Mikami could do, who had been shaken by the heavy shells, was to lie on his back on the ground and take one last look at the sky that had been smoked gray by gunpowder.

After a while, Mikami Yuta, who was lying on the ground, looked around, and saw only a mess of positions and dense craters of different sizes and stumps and broken arms everywhere, but there was no such familiar sound of tooth-aching metal grinding and engine roar as these days.

"Could it be that those people in China today have amnesia? Didn't they send someone to charge? Mikami thought with a wry smile, you know, even if they send a team of farmers to rush up with flat poles, they will probably be able to occupy our position.

But soon Mikami realized that he was wrong, and he underestimated the ferocity of the man opposite. Because he saw three small black dots flying in the sky, these three small black dots flew very low, and soon appeared in his sight, and a low roar also came to his ears at the same time.

The small black dot that appeared in Mikami's eyes became bigger and bigger, and soon its true face was revealed, which was an airplane with a huge black body and a huge body. They were slowly gathering at a low altitude of less than 300 meters, and one of the planes flew straight in the direction of Mikami Yuta, and then at the same time spewed out tongues of fire on its belly, side, and tail, and these tongues of fire poured mercilessly on the ground. From time to time, there were screams on the ground, "Damn, what kind of plane is that, how can a machine gun fire down?" Mikami struggled to get up and looked around, and saw that the three flaming hedgehog-like planes were clearing the remaining soldiers from the position like ducks.

Due to their condescending and slow speed, every move on the ground cannot escape their eyes, and their machine gun fire is not only ferocious but also accurate, and the soldiers they target are almost impossible to escape their pursuit.

Mikami Yuta, who was about to tear his eyes, only felt a sullen breath surging straight to his chest, and even the last shred of reason disappeared. He picked up a Type 38 rifle that had fallen beside him, pulled the bolt and fired three shots at the plane in the sky that was wantonly slaughtering Imperial soldiers.

Although the crisp sound of gunfire was drowned out in the roar of the sky, Mikami's actions finally caught the attention of the plane in the sky. I saw that the behemoth in the sky turned its body slightly to this side, aimed its side at this side, and then a stream of metal bounced downward.

"Yaga!" Mikami Yuta only let out a sentence that was the last voice left in the world, and he felt that his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

Now the plane that clears the Japanese ground forces in the sky is the "air gunboat" that the Chahar Air Force has just equipped, and this giant, the ground support aircraft converted from a transport plane has been modified to strengthen the armor of the belly, which is enough to resist the bombardment of machine guns and machine guns with a caliber of less than 20 millimeters, coupled with its powerful carrying capacity of more than 10 tons, the Chahar military industrial enterprise has equipped them with more than 20 machine guns and machine guns of all sizes, including old heavy machine guns, and has become a veritable fire hedgehog.

Due to the fact that the Japanese army of the expeditionary group army on the Jilin front was in a stalemate in a few days, Su Tong deliberately sent the three air gunboats that had just been refitted to the Jilin battlefield for actual combat testing, and today was also their maiden battle.

Under the ravages of three gunboats in the air, the soldiers who escaped under the artillery fire on the Japanese position were hovering at low altitude, and the gunboats were killed and wounded.

After clearing the ground, the gunboat circled over the Japanese position again, and then informed the ground troops, "After the ground is cleared, the ground troops can enter." But beware of the resurrection of residual fire. Please notify us immediately if you are in a situation. ”

"Understood!"

With the entry of the ground troops, "the soldiers who were slowly advancing on the thick floating soil, one foot high and one foot low, were surprised to find that the Japanese soldiers who had menstrual bands wrapped around their heads and carried explosive bags to resist desperately a few days ago had disappeared, and all that remained was endless desolation and ragged guns flying all over the ground and the remnants of the rock walls in the fortifications.

"Grass, where are all those Japanese soldiers who are like ground mice?" A young soldier with a Garand rifle in his hand asked the squad leader next to him a little nervously. Be careful, you kid, and watch the road. Don't be dragged along by the devil who is about to die, then you will be wronged. The squad leader next to him said angrily, and the Suomi assault rifle in his hand pointed around the suspicious places and searched around.

"Squad leader: "Look, there's a devil in front of you, who seems to be alive!" The sharp-eyed young soldier exclaimed, pointing to a dark figure in front of him. As soon as the words fell, the squad leader beside him had already swept over the squad, and the impact of the bullet knocked the figure to the ground and rolled over. The squad leader walked up to the corpse of the Japanese soldier with several soldiers, "kicked the corpse of the Japanese soldier with his foot, and a grenade fell out of the corpse's hand."

"Kid see it, learn a little, if you still want to go home alive, you must give him a ridge in the future when you encounter this situation, otherwise there will be a grenade waiting for you if you can't keep it." Remember Chief Su's words: Only the dead "Day" himself is a good "Day" himself. Whoever dares to be soft-hearted, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unkind to you. The squad leader threw up. After spitting, he reprimanded several soldiers next to him.

Several recruits nodded again and again, "No, these little devils are really ruthless, even if they die, they have to pull people back." "Let's go, keep your eyes open, remember to be careful when you see a devil lying on the ground, and if you can't tell if it's dead, it's the most effective way to give them a few grains of huā raw rice." After the squad leader finished speaking, "Click, with a bang, I changed a new drum for my Suomi and took the lead again."

After several days of heavy artillery and aircraft bombardment, the Japanese defense line was like a battered fishing net full of holes, and the remaining 100,000 Japanese troops had retreated 50 kilometers under the leadership of Lieutenant General Yoshioka Yasunao, preparing to establish a defensive line in the rear again. The 150,000 troops of the expeditionary group were chasing and fighting fiercely, but the tenacity of the Japanese army was also reflected at this time, and they continued to send small units to stay behind as death squads, dragging the expeditionary group army to death. Sun Liren constantly sent planes to bomb the Japanese army's road, and it was imperative that the Japanese army not organize an effective defensive line.

In a Type 63 armored command vehicle, Sun Liren exposed his head from the conning tower and held a telescope to observe the attack of the troops in front of him, and the torrent of steel in front of him was rolling forward.

"Report to Commander Hao, a wing-sized Japanese army was found in front of us blocking our armored troops, and the first armored regiment was attacking and advancing, and the battle is expected to end in twenty minutes." A voice rang out in Sun Liren's headset.

Hao Ming said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll give you twenty minutes, remember, after this time, I'll punish you." Your task now is to encircle them on a large scale, and you must surround these hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops before the Japanese army reacts. We can't just wait for Chief Bai's troops to arrive before we work together, opportunities will only favor those who are prepared, do you understand? ”

"Understand, we will definitely crush this Japanese army in another twenty minutes."

Although Hao Ming knew that Bai Chongxi was coming at full speed with the Siberian Army Group, it was not Hao Ming's character to sit and wait for support, although he only had one armored division in his hand as a rapid assault force, but Hao Ming believed that with more than 300 tanks and more than 200 infantry fighting vehicles in his hands, he could also create a miracle. He wanted to prove to General Wang Yizhe and General Jiang Baili in the headquarters that he Hao Ming was not only good at commanding armored troops, but also good at commanding large-scale annihilation battles.

Heilongjiang has developed to the present, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that a new force is rising, and this force is so strong that it has surpassed the current Nanjing government. The decline of the Japanese army is inevitable, as long as the Japanese army is driven out of China, it will inevitably cause a new round of reshuffle in China, and as a member of this emerging force, in order to strive for a place in this force in the future, Hao Ming knows that he must show real achievements to prove himself, and there is no other way.
