Dingzhou City has been made into a pot of bad porridge. Without any fire preparation, the sudden attack of the Night Battle Camp made the Japanese Third Division overwhelmed. "Change the gun mouth, hurry up! Baga, what are you rubbing? Load the shells! Fire the gun..." As soon as the two "Night Tigers" turned into the corner of the street, the sergeant in the hidden house pushed open the half-closed door and poked the 37mm anti-tank gun he commanded out from the crack of the door and aimed at the front face at the front.

"Boom!" The 76mm armor-piercing explosion bomb broke out of the chamber and hit the front of a "Night Tiger" 200 meters away. Due to the lack of processing technology and raw materials, Japan lacked special wind-capped hard armor-piercing bombs with no explosion effect. Compared with the latter, the former seemed to be able to increase power through explosion, but in fact it weakened the armor-piercing effect. Therefore, after the shell hit the tilted tank's front face, it bounced, and flashed like a soap bubble. This sergeant had good anti-tank technology. When he saw that the attack did not work, he was surprised by the thickness of the tank's armor and quickly closed the door and urged the installation.

Bullet: "Hurry up, load the shells, aim at its tracks with the next shot!" If it were changed in the past, it would be difficult for the tank hand to find the target behind the door unless it was seen with the naked eye. But now it is different. Just when the Japanese soldiers quietly opened the door and poked out the muzzle, the night vision illuminator of the searched night vision device was swept to it. "See, left... kill them!" After discovering the target, the commander immediately turned the muzzle. Before the sergeant fired a second shell, the grenade had already filled out of the muzzle like lightning. "Boom!" Two 85mm grenades accurately hit the building 200 meters away.

"Leave, go to the opposite side!" I thought the gunfire was discovered just now, and the sergeant and several Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to have crawled out of the house and ran to the opposite house against the brick wall. But they didn't know that their every move had already been clearly reflected on the night vision device. "See them! Machine gun, machine gun! Dongdongdong..." Two heavy machine guns chased the sergeant and Japanese soldiers and fired wildly. The 12.7 mm bullets easily penetrated the brick wall, killing all the soldiers.

Countless identical scenes appeared at this night. With the help of active infrared night vision instruments, night is no longer an obstacle. As long as the Japanese army showed their heads and was exposed, it would attract ruthless fire from cannons and machine guns. It took less than half an hour, He Zihua led the Night Battle Battalion to break through the Japanese defense line and enter the city along the railway line. 44 "Night Tiger" main battle tanks became real night beasts. All the Japanese castles found along the way were overturned. What made the Japanese army even more discouraged was that no matter how hard they tried, their self-reliable anti-tank weapons could not break the armor of the "Night Tiger" from beginning to end. Even if one or two of them were occasionally hit by the tracks, they could not be completely destroyed. Instead, they were killed by the cannons and machine guns that stopped.

"Baga! Charge, launch a charge!" Seeing that hidden fire points that should not be discovered so quickly were uprooted. The corps leader Inoue Yasushi was furious and gritted his teeth to use his best Pig Tactics. "Onboard! Charge!" With the signal, thousands of Japanese soldiers jumped out of the bunker and launched a charge towards the Night Battle Camp under the leadership of the officers. Pig Tactics is the Japanese army's best tactics. It seems to be swarming, but in fact it has rigorous levels and running positions. On such a narrow street at close range, the momentum of the launch was very terrifying. In just a moment, the night Battle Camp seemed to explode, and there were explosive grenades and machine guns splashing Mars everywhere. Several Japanese soldiers were holding explosive bags and wanted to die with the tanks.

"Teacher Commander! The little Japanese charges!"

"Good rush! A group of people keep up! I want to see if Japan is afraid of bullets!" Zhao Dengyu shouted loudly and ordered the main force to speed up. He jumped into a tank and rushed into the city along the track prints of the Night Battle Camp. But before he could get over, a battalion's half-track infantry fighting vehicle had rushed into the combat zone. "Get out of the car, follow behind the tank! Stick to the wall. Machine guns, seize the roof of the building! Go, go to the side. Use a car-mounted machine gun to cover both wings. Throw grenades into every window you see! Every door!" Under the command of the officer, the infantry who had been tested in the northwest quickly jumped out of the car. The machine gunners quickly seized the commanding heights, the armored vehicles protected the flanks, and the infantry walked along the walls. As long as they found that they could target, they used grenades or grenades to blast the houses and buildings.

New soldiers are afraid of cannons, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. No matter how fierce the Japanese charge is, they cannot withstand the strafing of more than 100 general-purpose machine guns. The hopeless hand-to-hand combat is even more nonsense. Whether it is a tank or a semi-tracked vehicle, they can defend against the strafing of the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns at close range, not to mention the tank guns and 12.7 mm heavy machine guns under the night vision instrument. By the time Zhao Dengyu arrived, the 18th Japanese Regiment had been lying down nearly half, and Japanese corpses were everywhere in the corners and alleys in the north of the city. "Let the engineering tanks come up, don't stop, continue to rush south! Before dawn, you must hit the passageway!" Under Zhao Dengyu's personal command, the soldiers were increasingly trying to use their lives, and the armored engineering company also staged a "demolition" operation. Engineering tanks that raised bulldozers and smashed the houses and roadblocks blocking the road like bulls. When the Japanese army escaped, they either fire spurts or strafing.

The Japanese army had never seen such a rogue fighting style, and they asked the Changgangling Heights to provide artillery support. However, because it was too chaotic and it was midnight, the artillery corps in Changgangling could not see the target clearly. More than 30 75mm field guns could only aim at the fire. The rumbling explosion, the 37th Division hiding behind the armor had not complained, but the Japanese army could not bear it. "Terminal Commander! Shigemoto's Brigade lost contact! Report, the Chinese Army occupied the railway station! The Post and Telecommunications Bureau lost contact. The police building was blown down..." The panic shouts one after another, making Fujita more and more uneasy.

He did not expect that the attack formation of one city and one mountain that he had carefully arranged would be ruined by a night attack. Seeing that the troops were in chaos and the opponent's tanks rushed around the city, Chief of Staff Tahara Tahara couldn't help but feel depressed: "The division commander, must, must retreat." Retreat? Fujita's face was hot. A few hours ago, he was proud of his formation in front of the officers, saying that his formation was as solid as a last resort, and he ordered his retreat a few hours later. Isn't this a slap in the face! "Order the 5th Brigade to come immediately to support, the Engineer's Regiment attacked and regain the train station. Tell everyone that you must support until the sky..."

"Chinese chariot!"

Before the word "bright" was released, the sentry at the door shouted. In the explosion, under the guidance of the Korean puppet army prisoners, He Zihua, who brought six "night tigers" and an engineering tank, emerged from the darkness like a ghost. "Protect the division commander!" The loyal guards grabbed Fujita and ran to the back door. As soon as they stepped out of the threshold, a loud noise came from behind, and dozens of officers and staff officers, including Chief of Staff Rio Tahara, were all pressed under the ruins. "Retreat to Changgangling immediately!" Fujita was so scared that he no longer dared to defend himself. He quickly ordered the troops to retreat to the high ground. But at this time, both sides had completely

When they were twisted together, many Japanese troops could not retreat. In order to kill as many Japanese troops as possible, the soldiers of the 37th Armored Division rushed and fought desperately. Finally, after three hours of melee and paid thousands of casualties, the remaining Japanese troops escaped from Dingzhou City. Zhao Dengyu originally wanted to lead the main force to pursue, but the orders brought by Luo Binghui made him hold his hand and ordered He Zihua to lead a small number of troops to join the reconnaissance battalion and set up a pontoon bridge overnight. By five o'clock in the morning, the main forces of the 3rd Armored Division and the 37th Armored Division had all passed through Dingzhou City. The 3rd Armored Division had a wheeled armored company, and even rushed into Bochuan, which was only 12 kilometers away from Anzhou.

The news of the overnight loss of Dingzhou City shocked Itagaki and the Japanese Korean Army Command. Before they could come back, at 8 o'clock in the morning, two heavy Xi'an-class cruisers, four Songhuajiang-class light cruisers, seven destroyers and five inland heavy artillery boats from the First Fleet of the Republic of China arrived at the outlet of the Qingchuan River. 18 warships. They launched fierce shellings from the sea facing the Anzhou and the Qingchuan River coasts, especially the 18 210mm rapid-fire heavy artillery of the Xi'an-class heavy patrol, which even took Anzhou City from the inside to the outside. With the cover of the cruiser, the inland gunboat quickly passed through the Anjiang River and carried a shelling on Akutagawa along the river. They also used the pontoon bridge equipment they carried to help the 104th Division quickly complete the crossing of the river.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the 104th Division and the 177th Division that followed the river crossed the river to break through Akutagawa. Then, like Dingzhou, they joined the 72nd Division, and did not fight with the Japanese troops who were evading into the mountains, and divided their troops overnight. The 104th Division and the 177th Infantry Division attacked Tokugawa eastward, and set out to attack Yuanshan across the peninsula. The 72nd Division waited for a day, handed Akutagawa to the first Korean army behind, and continued to go south to join the 37th Division and quickly encircle Shunkawa. At the same time, Zhuo Fan also handed over the task of attacking Changgangling to the main force behind, and led a division to advance towards Anzhou himself.

On May 22, on the fifth day of the Peninsula Battle, the 104th Central Guard Division and 177th Infantry Division of the National Defense Forces, which were the first to cross the Qingchuan River, occupied Tokugawa. On the 23rd, the Japanese army surrounded Shunchuan, making the Japanese army mistakenly think that they wanted to surround the Anzhou rear route and attract three Japanese divisions to intercept the 37th Armored Division and the 72nd Armored Division suddenly turned around and crossed the Datong River and advanced quickly to the plains southeast of Shunchuan. After arriving at the Feiliu River, the two divisions

The troops were divided again and rushed to the North Huanghai Road and Gangwon Road, which were defenseless, and tried to cross the Feihuling to the south. At the same time, in order to cover the rapid breakthrough of Zhuo Fan's cluster, the main force of the Sino-Korean coalition, under the personal supervision of the Commander-in-Chief of the War Zone, Zhu Peide, the commander-in-chief of the North Korean Defense Forces and the Deputy Commander of the War Zone, launched a full-line attack from north to south. More than 20 divisions, with the support of the guerrillas, continued to intersperse and detour, causing chaos by the Japanese army.

"Order Pyongyang's 11th Division to support Yangde east, Kaicheng 101st Division to Xianyanli, Yuanshan 32nd Division, and 109th Division to stop Feihuling west..." Itagaki was furious. He did not expect that Zhuo Fan would let Anzhou go and go south to walk in high mountains, which was inconvenient to maneuver, which caught him off guard. When Chief of Staff Nishimura saw that he had also transferred the two divisions of Yuanshan to Feihuling, he thought he was angry and quickly reminded: "General, the Navy and the others..." The joint fleet can only hide east of Japan now.

And the Northern Islands, even the Sea of ​​Japan, which was once regarded as the inland sea, could not ensure safety. In the past month, at least six submarines, more than ten transport ships and warships, were sunk by Chinese maritime patrol aircraft in the Sea of ​​Japan. So Nishimura wanted to remind him to be careful of the Chinese fleet in Vladivostok to prevent it from suddenly landing in Munshan and Tsukiyaki. Itagaki nodded: "Don't worry, Nishimura, I understand what you mean. The mobilization of Munshan is because they are closest to Feihuling. Don't worry, I will let Xipu's 20th Division and Harujiang's 114th Division go north to replace them."

Ximura breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhuo Fan's group of troops moved south quickly in segments, he was not worried: "General, although the Chinese chariot troops are fast, they lack infantry. You see, Feihuling is a natural barrier. As long as the lines of Anzhou, Xichuan and Hamxing continue to be blocked, the passages launched by the Chinese chariot troops cannot guarantee the attack of dozens of divisions."

Itagaki did not respond. Zhuo Fan's tactics were really too unexpected. He thought that the opponent's heavy chariot dared to drill into the mountains, but Zhuo Fan not only did he drill, but also invested three or four divisions in one breath. The most dangerous thing now is Yuanshan. Once Yuanshan is occupied, the most important North Korea's north-south channel will be cut off, and more than a dozen divisions in the north will be surrounded! Thinking of this, he had a headache. Before he fought, he felt confident that he could rely on the complex peninsula terrain to carry forward his ability to connect close forces and curb the Chinese army. But he didn't expect to fight. The opponent's offensive was so fierce! And he did not give himself the chance to fight in position. Especially Zhuo Fan, who was regarded as an assault arrow, has become his number one opponent, and even the most dangerous enemy of the Imperial Army!

However, there is something that Nishimura is right. Zhuo Fan dared to make a breakthrough in depth because he was both mobile and powerful chariot troops. However, if the main infantry and supply materials following behind wanted to go south on a large scale, he had to follow the railway line between Pyongyang and Wonsan. But... why do you always feel uneasy? Itagaki thought about it, but he was still worried about Feihuling and swept his finger: "Let the 47th Division and the 55th Division also set off to Feihuling to encircle the Chinese chariot troops."

"General, take them away, and there are only four divisions left in Seoul."

"I will get domestic support as soon as possible, go and order it." Itagaki waved his hand helplessly. The northern troops could not be pulled back. Anzhou has already started, and 11 divisions of the three Chinese and Korean armies are moving south quickly. But in this way, there are only twelve divisions left in the south, including Seoul, and the troops are a little nervous. Nishimura disagreed with him for reaching out to the country: "General, the base camp... I'm afraid there will be no more troops."

Itagaki knew in his heart that although the emperor called for "Yazaku", the base camp also announced that it would arm 200 more divisions. But the question is, how did these new divisions cross the Tsushima Strait? Even if they could cross the sea, where did the supplies and equipment come from? Ordinary soldiers didn't know, but he knew very well. The country was almost blown up, and the amount of arms manufacturing had dropped to one-third of the pre-war low. So the base camp is now very upset that the more than 20 divisions that were involved in the southern battle were all elites of the empire! It is a pity that it is thrown in the tropical rainforest for vain to return to the country to fight.

But even though he knew that the troops could not be drawn from the country, he still sent a telegram back to the country, demanding additional troops to provide assistance.

Orenburg, Soviet Union.

In the newly established Ural Theater Command, the theater commander Timuxingo, with his forehead, was walking stably. Around him, he was dressed in a straight cavalry outfit, wearing high horse boots, a wide face, and a horned horned man, and walked into the conference room with a relaxed expression. "Stand at attention! Salute to the marshal!" As the guards shouted, dozens of officers who had been waiting for a long time, stood up and welcomed the cavalry marshal who was well-known in the Soviet Union.

"Comrades, please sit down." Budonnie has a special status in the Soviet army. Half of the officers present come from his own disciples, so he speaks with his hands down, and is very stylish: "I am the representative party and General Secretary Stalin to visit everyone. Comrade Stalin is waiting for our good news. So before Marshal Timuxin explains, let us rush to Ula three times to boost morale."

"Ula!Ula!Ula!" This is Budunny's habit. In the past, when he fought, he asked the troops to hula three times before every attack. So everyone shouted hula three times before they sat down together. He shouted in unison, which made Budunny very satisfied. He found that Zhukov, who was sitting in the back row, had his eyes stayed for a while before he took them back.

Zhukov didn't pay attention to his gaze, and his mind was all about the counterattack plan.

The six-year winter gave the Soviet army an urgently needed buffer time. The transfer of the Ural industrial zone, the training of reserve troops, military equipment production, etc. have made great progress. The number of equipment and troops has begun to recover, and the development of many new weapons has also accelerated. The troops from Ukraine, Belarus, the Baltic Sea and Moscow began to gather here slowly. But while improving, an unavoidable problem still bothers everyone, this is the early stage.

The failure is so big! So many people think that they should continue to defend and accumulate strength. But Zhukov doesn't think much. In his opinion, as the front advances to Urals, it is getting farther and farther away from China's homeland, and the supply disadvantage in the early stages of the war has shifted to China. On the supply line of 2,000 kilometers, five tons of materials are consumed for every ten tons of materials transported. Therefore, we must unswervingly attack and attack again. As long as the whole country is united, China will only fight weaker and weaker.

Therefore, he is still looking forward to this big counterattack.

"Comrades! The time for a counterattack is ripe. Just three days ago, the enemy concentrated more than four million troops (the vassal armies of North Korea and Vietnam are calculated here) and launched a full-scale attack on Japan. We already have exact intelligence. The enemy will put the troops into the four battlefields of Northeast China, North Korea, Ryukyu and the Southeast Peninsula at the same time. This means that in the next six months, the number of enemies opposite us will remain at 3 million (2.5 million National Welfare Forces, 500,000 Polish/Central Asian vassal armies), and we cannot obtain too much reinforcement...." "Comrade Marshal, is it missing? Ashgabat has been lost, and there is a passage between Iran and Turkmen, so 600,000 enemy troops in the Persian Gulf should be calculated..." Before Temuxingo finished speaking, Zhukov raised his hand.

This interruption made Budunny and Temuxine frown. But Zhukov had no choice. Although Stalin resumed his work and appointed him as the commander of the Stalingrad Front. But everyone knew that the Ural theater was still far from Stalingrad, so he, the commander of the Front, was more like a logistics and training team leader. Because of this treatment, he did not have the opportunity to attend the General Staff's counterattack military meeting, which made him have this question.

Seeing that the conference room suddenly became quiet, Rokosovskyla, who commanded a tentative counterattack twice in a row and joined the General Staff, pulled him and whispered: "Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Motolov has secretly met the Iraqis..."
