The more than 120 special commandos selected by Qi Bing for this operation are all experienced and infinitely loyal elites. The loss of a few people is already a heavy loss. This time, a full fifty-seven people were lost.

Personally, looking at the direction of the Tiger Head Fortress that kept making muffled explosions, Qi Bing didn't know whether he should celebrate the success of the battle.

This was a death-defying assault operation. Being able to survive was undoubtedly the lucky one. However, fifty-seven experienced elite backbones of the special operations group were lost at one time. This kind of loss is unbearable for the special operations group.

Unfortunately, if there are a few more bitter victories like this, I'm afraid the elite of the Special Operations Group will cease to exist.

Gao Fei breathed a long sigh of relief when he received the code name from Qi Bing that Operation Dawn was successful. He gathered the forces of seven armies and consumed a large amount of supplies and ammunition to launch a full-scale attack on the two Japanese fortress groups of Dongning and Wujiashan.

Although the fierce attack lasted only three hours, they captured a large area of ​​fortification areas and main bodies of the Japanese army.

However, in the attack on Dongning Fortress Group and Wujiashan Fortress Group, the Chinese Youth Army lost more than 40 tanks, seven fighter jets and bombers were shot down, more than 70 artillery pieces were lost, and 12,000 officers and soldiers were killed.

There were more than 7,000 lightly and seriously injured people, and Gao Fei could not bear such heavy losses.

Since Operation Dawn was successful and destroyed the source of the virus stored by the Japanese army in Hutou Fortress, and effectively destroyed some of the Japanese defense measures in Hutou Fortress, the attack on Dongning Fortress Group and Wujiashan Fortress Group has become impossible.

Knowing the meaning, Gao Fei immediately ordered to stop attacking Dongning.

At the same time, the six armies of the central cluster were ordered to start a central breakthrough against the Hutou Fortress, and the troops besieging the Dongning Fortress Group and Wujiashan Fortress Group were reduced to two armies.

, siege but not attack, fight with the Japanese.|March 8th Literature

Concentrating eight main forces and mechanized armies, they attacked the Hutou Fortress with all their strength, achieving a strategy of breaking through at one point and shocking the entire front. The Chinese Youth Army's attacks on the Dongning Fortress Group and the Wujiashan Fortress Group were stopped at the same time, and the Tiger Mountain Fortress, the core position of the Hutou Fortress, was attacked.

When the Chinese commandos attacked, there were ten large cannon ammunition depots on the top and large-caliber grenade ammunition depots on the bottom.

Seven ammunition depots were blasted and detonated. Chinese commandos transported special deflagration agents into the fortress and spread them in the ventilation system to an explosive concentration. The Tiger Mountain Fortress, the core position of the Tiger Head Fortress Group, suffered huge losses.

The commander, Major General Lin Lishaoer, was unfortunately killed in the fierce battle, and the commander of the 731st Unit, Major General Ishii Shiro, disappeared.

The report from Tiger Head Fortress made the air in the Kwantung Army Headquarters in Vladivostok extremely tense. As the commander-in-chief, Yoshijiro Umezu sat on the Diaoyutai like a general, because all strategic plans came from Chief of Staff Wan Ishihara.

Either by your hand, or by the orders directly issued by the base camp and the general staff headquarters, he is just an executor. For Umezu Yoshijiro, at first the base camp credulously believed in the so-called extermination plan that the so-called special forces could destroy the enemy invisible, and easily

Giving up the entire Manchuria was the biggest mistake. The empire needed Manchuria to become a stable industrial base and food production area for the empire, instead of killing all the Chinese in Manchuria and turning it into a dead zone. Emperor Hirohito did not understand things at all because he was aloof.

The so-called virus weapon can quickly retreat the enemy and eliminate all enemies of the empire. In fact, this is not the case. Using so-called tactical means to make up for the passiveness of the strategy? It can only be said that this is going from one madness to another.

Ishihara Wanji pondered for a long time and said: "Commander Umezu, I have decided to transfer the main force of our Kwantung Army from the frontal battlefield in the Far East, strengthen the tank and heavy artillery units, and concentrate our forces while the Chinese army's east and west clusters have not yet broken through our fortress system.

Defeat them first to avoid falling into a passive position of being attacked by the north and south. Although the opportunity for a decisive battle is not ripe, we don't seem to have many choices."

Umezu Yoshijiro is also weighing the overall war situation. The Kwantung Army now relies on sea transportation to replenish supplies and ammunition, which is already powerless. Because the Japanese Navy has lost too many transport ships in the Pacific, the supplies the Kwantung Army can get are not sufficient.

, the Far East is now a dead end and a dilemma. Once the Chinese army launches a general offensive, the Soviet army will definitely take advantage of the momentum. By then, the main force of the Kwantung Army will face a strategic attack from two sides due to lack of food and ammunition.

Abandoning the entire Far East region? Umezu Yoshijiro is not that crazy. Even if he persists, it will be a dead end. Just like Yamashita Nobumi's First Front Army who kept persisting in the Bay of Bengal, knowing that persisting will have no results, the base camp still wants to

If it continues to stick to it, this unnecessary consumption will only aggravate the passivity of the strategy.

Knowing that he cannot do anything but insisting on it, Umezu Yoshijiro knows very well that now the Japanese Empire needs a clear-headed command, rather than leaving it to a private lunatic who can only manage twenty machine guns in the warehouse. Now should be the last opportunity for strategic contraction.

, the main reason for the empire's current military defeat is because

He spread his business too far and rashly used troops against the Soviet Far East after the Chinese battlefield fell into a quagmire, and then used troops against French Indochina and Southeast Asia. Especially in Burma, India's Imphal and the Chinese Expeditionary Force engaged in a large-scale war of attrition.

It completely abandoned the guiding strategic principle of the Japanese Army to avoid falling into a large-scale war of attrition.

Later, the Navy established a so-called absolute defense circle in the Pacific. What puzzled Umezu Yoshijiro the most was that as the Navy moved from one victory to another, what was the point of establishing a so-called absolute defense circle? Only those who have lost the battle can

What kind of absolute defense circle needs to be established? Could it be that the guys in the Navy are hiding their true record just like the Army? If that's the case, everything would be too scary.

The Far East lacks the necessary supplies for combat. To put it simply, there are no objects to plunder. It is originally a tundra zone with a sparse population. The terrain is more suitable for mechanized troop movement operations, especially the flanking and central breakthrough tactics of large corps.

, this is what the high-flying Chinese youth army is best at.

Umezu Yoshijiro set his sights on Ishihara Kanji. It was obviously unwise to let the main force of the Kwantung Army fall into the Sino-Soviet pincer attack in the Far East. Umezu Yoshijiro knew that he could not afford to give up his responsibility in the Far East, even if he had the base camp.
