Age of Conquest Reborn

This dawn could no longer be peaceful. For many days, the Soviet troops on the two fronts, which had been trapped in the blocking line with the Japanese army, finally showed their true strength after they no longer had any worries. More than two million Soviet soldiers came from the north.

Starting from the east of Irkutsk and south to the east of Chita, on a front line that is hundreds of kilometers long, a ferocious wave-like attack was launched against the blocking line defended by more than 700,000 troops of the Japanese Far East Campaign rearguard group.

!

Although the commanders of the two Soviet front armies did not inform each other in advance about the attack on the Japanese blocking line, the start time of the attack was only half an hour apart, both at dawn. This shows that the Soviet commander's

The quality is quite good..

On a front line hundreds of kilometers long, artillery fire continued to the sky, making the ground tremble. Soviet tanks roared, covering the infantry assault on the Japanese positions. Among them, the Soviet outer Xing'anling Front's attack was more fierce and fierce.

Crazy, more than a million soldiers were overwhelmingly pressing towards the Japanese positions. The commander of the front army, General Gregariff, had been guarding the telephone from the beginning of the attack.

Facing the unprecedented attack power of the Soviet army, Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the commander of the rearguard group of the Far East Campaign of the Japanese Army, finally calmed down after the initial shock. He said to Colonel Sakai, the director of the headquarters' operations department: "Sakai-kun,

The real test of the Battle Defender Cluster

When the moment of truth comes, you should immediately convey my order to all the soldiers and officers of the Imperial Army, and fight to the death, even if all of them are shattered. I, General Haruhiko Taichi, will be with the soldiers of the Empire to greet the great nation.

The moment of loyalty to His Majesty the Empire and the Emperor!"

The resistance of the Japanese army became even more frenzied and desperate. Facing the Soviet soldiers who were swarming up like a tide, the Japanese soldiers, whose eyes were red with killing, actually launched desperate hand-to-hand counterattacks in many areas, row after row.

The Japanese soldiers, armed with 38-guns with shining bayonets, howled and shouted "Long live the Japanese Empire!" jumped out of the trenches and charged at the Soviet soldiers like desperadoes.

This kind of fighting style is the most proud tactic of the Japanese Army. Often at the most critical moment of the battle, it can completely suppress the superior enemy's arrogance with a hand-to-hand charge. Back then, in the battle with Russia,

When China took control of Northeast China, the huge Russian army was defeated with bayonets by Japanese soldiers who were small in number but dared to fight and returned to Russia.

This glorious achievement recorded in the history of Japan's overseas campaigns has always been the pride of the Japanese Army. Today, facing the Soviet army's tidal attack, everyone from ordinary Japanese soldiers to senior generals believe that history will repeat itself!

Therefore, the Japanese troops who carried out the hand-to-hand charge were not a certain unit, but entire divisions of soldiers, shouting this slogan as if they were beaten to death, and rushing towards the Soviet soldiers desperately.

"Comrade Commander, the 18th Group Army, the 9th Group Army, and the 21st Group Army report that the Japanese troops attacking the front have launched a counterattack!" A staff officer put down the phone and reported to the commander of the Xing'anling Front, General Gregariff.

Report to.

"Comrade Commander, the 13th, 14th, and 16th Group Armies reported that the troops attacked the Japanese army on the front and carried out a counterattack with a hand-to-hand charge!" A staff officer reported that, one after another, each attacking unit attacked the front army.

Command reported a similar situation.

"A hand-to-hand charge?" A hint of sneer appeared in the corner of General Gregariff's mouth, "Probably, the Japanese thought they were fighting the Tsarist army at the beginning of this century, and they used the old tricks again! As expected,

Just wait for the Japanese army to leave the strong fortifications!" He thought to himself, feeling happy instead of in a hurry.

General Gregariff suddenly stood up and ordered: "Execute the second attack plan!"

The Soviet artillery fire was still fierce, blasting the Japanese positions into chaos. According to Commander Haruhiko's order, at the fateful moment, the Japanese artillery no longer held back. All the artillery groups fired wildly, shelling the Soviet Union at the same time.

Army tanks and infantry

Soldiers, the Soviet artillery engaged in an artillery battle. At least for the moment, the artillery of both sides was evenly matched. However, this was only a temporary advantage obtained by the Japanese army. After all, regardless of the number or caliber of artillery, the Soviet artillery was far superior to that of the Japanese.

Army artillery.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I received a call from the artillery commander. Our artillery suppressed the Soviet artillery and provided effective artillery support for the forward positions. The Soviet offensive momentum has been contained!" A

The staff officer put down the phone and shouted to Lieutenant General Haruyan ecstatically.

"Really!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not very happy in his heart. He knew about his own family affairs and how much money the rear guard group artillery in the Far East Campaign had. Haruhiko himself knew very well and had always avoided fighting with the Soviet artillery.

The large-scale artillery battle was due to the fact that the artillery was much weaker than the Soviet artillery, but today it was ruined. This advantage could not be maintained for long.

"The artillery positions of the rearguard group in the Far East Campaign will soon be submerged under the raindrops of Soviet artillery fire, including the ongoing hand-to-hand counterattack. Perhaps, it is the last swan song of the rearguard group in the Far East Campaign! The bayonets of the imperial soldiers

, Can't beat the Soviet artillery!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko thought sadly.

However, he did not stop such an action. Holding the position was a safe strategy. However, in the face of the Soviet army's all-out attack, the position would be broken by the Soviet army sooner or later. It would be better to let go and give it a try. Maybe, something would be created.

Miraculously, as long as this most ferocious attack by the Soviet army can be defeated, the morale of the soldiers on both sides will reverse, and it may not be possible to defend the defense line?

Although dispatching hundreds of thousands of soldiers to carry out a terrifying hand-to-hand charge better embodies the spirit of the Japanese Empire's samurai, Lieutenant General Haruhiko does not agree with such tactics, but it is currently the only way to turn the tide of the war.

The situation on the battlefield changed again. The Soviet tank force, which was attacking fiercely, suddenly stopped attacking. The Soviet tanks in front stopped advancing. The tanks of the Third Army behind them quickly moved forward. The original wedge-shaped offensive team

The battle formation was transformed into a lined-up defensive formation, and the Soviet infantry accompanying the tank attack also established firepower points on the spot, with light and heavy machine guns set up in the gaps between tanks.

This is the second plan of General Gregariff's offensive tactics. It is a counter-attack against the Japanese army's hand-to-hand charge. The transition between offense and defense is very important to the quality of the troops. The Soviet Union's Xing'anling Front Army is obviously familiar with this aspect.

.

The wild shouts of the Japanese soldiers resounded through the wilderness, and the khaki-colored Japanese soldiers rushed over the mountains and plains, quickly approaching the Soviet army. The Japanese soldiers rushing at the front could even see the Soviet tanks, the black holes

muzzle, many fanatical

The Japanese soldiers wrapped grenades all over their bodies, preparing to turn themselves into human bombs once they got close to the Soviet tanks. The Japanese soldiers with this idea believed that their souls would enter the Yasukuni Shrine and be attacked.

Endless admiration from future generations!

However, the ruthless facts shattered the fanatical illusions of the Japanese soldiers. On the line of tanks, they suddenly remembered the storm-like light and heavy machine guns, and the roar of the tanks' parallel machine guns, like a metal storm blowing on the ground.

The Qing's light and heavy machine gun bullets hit the Japanese soldiers head-on intensively.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and fluffy blood flowers flying all over the sky bloomed in the dim light before dawn, instantly turning the clear air into a faint blood red. The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the high-speed rotating metal projectiles,

With a huge impact, the Japanese soldiers were swept down in pieces like cutting sorghum stalks, and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers at the front were broken into two pieces and shattered.

The bloody corpses of Japanese soldiers were spread layer by layer on the road of charge and on the snow-covered land of the Far East. The Soviet light and heavy machine gun shooters and tank gunners felt so comfortable in their hearts.

The offensive for seven or eight days was thwarted, each time leaving behind countless corpses of comrades. Now, could it be that the Japanese soldiers were stupid, left the fortifications, and engaged in hand-to-hand charges. In the end, the Soviet soldiers became soft in the fight.

At this time, the artillery battle between the Soviet army and the Japanese artillery was just as Lieutenant General Haruhiko judged. The Japanese artillery, which was at a considerable disadvantage, could not remain evenly matched for more than 30 minutes, and then the Soviet artillery was even more violent.

Retaliatory artillery bombardments often involved a Japanese artillery position with more than a dozen artillery pieces. After just a few rounds, they would be covered by hundreds of Soviet large-caliber artillery pieces.

Hail-like shells fell on the Japanese artillery positions, blowing the Japanese artillery into piles of scattered parts. The exploding shells only added to the tragedy. All the Japanese artillery positions were damaged.

They were covered with devastating artillery fire from Soviet artillery that was several times their number.

General Gregariff had already walked out of his tent and came to a high ground, holding a telescope to observe the battlefield situation. He was very satisfied with the current development situation. If the Japanese army did not adopt the counterattack tactics of hand-to-hand charge, he would negotiate a blocking line for the Japanese army.

The battle will be prolonged for a long time. After all, the defense system built by the Japanese commander has made his troops suffer a lot before this.

"If the fight continues like this, after a few hours, the Japanese army's effective strength will be almost exhausted, and then it will rush towards the Far East battlefield at the fastest speed!" General Gregariff thought happily, regarding the results of this attack,

I already have a clear judgment in my heart, and the irritability that has been accumulated in my heart for many days has disappeared!

"Your Excellency, Commander, the troops of the Imperial Army carrying out hand-to-hand counterattacks were severely damaged by Soviet tank fire and infantry heavy weapons, resulting in heavy casualties. Frontline commanders, please request artillery support!" Chief of Operations Division Sakai Colonel put down the phone.

, said with a pale face.

"Artillery support?" Lieutenant General Haruhiko smiled sadly. The current situation of the artillery was worse than that of the infantry. "Sakai-kun, where is Chief of Staff Shinno?" He suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the war.
