Peiping, Xiyuan!

"With the assistance of the Air Force, the Young Guards have repelled two large-scale attacks by four Japanese divisions."

Xie Chengrui looked at the battle report and said to Jiang Dong:

"Preliminary estimates put the Japanese casualties at around 15,000 to 20,000 people!

The Air Force lost one fighter jet, and the Young Guards suffered less than a hundred casualties!

In a recent counterattack, the Air Force used white phosphorus bombs for the first time, and feedback from the battlefield showed that the effect was very good.

White phosphorus bombs wiped out thousands of Japanese, and also gave a great psychological shock to the soldiers of the four divisions of the Japanese army!

The Japanese requested a temporary truce to allow them to collect the skeletons of soldiers in front of their positions, and Qi Guangxiu and An Ziliang have agreed!"

"Oh?" Jiang Dong turned around in surprise, "Are they so easy to talk to? Haha..."

Xie Chengrui also smiled and said:

"Under the attack of white phosphorus bombs, the Japanese corpses were bloody and horrific. Qi Guangxiu and An Ziliang believed that letting the Japanese take back the corpses could further increase the fear in the hearts of the Japanese soldiers and prepare them for the subsequent counterattack."

It is impossible for the Young Guards to stay at the airport all the time. After damaging the morale of the Japanese military, they will seek to actively attack and spread their control from the surrounding counties and transportation hubs to the airport.

Jiang Dong nodded,

"Judging from the current progress, Zhang Shengqing's West Route Army should be able to arrive at Longjiang Airport within a week. Let the Youth Army Guards and the Airborne Division prepare a counterattack plan and cooperate with the West Route Army at the right time to expand the results!"

"clear!"

Xie Chengrui continued:

"Fu Yisheng has advanced to the Hulin area. The Japanese Fifth Army retreated into the fortifications after realizing that it could not get any benefits from taking the initiative to attack, preparing to garrison with the fortifications and contain some of the Eastern Route Army!

Under the command of Wang Laohu, the East Route Army has passed through Ning'an and is confronting the Japanese troops. There should be a small-scale decisive battle!"

"What's the logistics supply situation on each front?" Jiangdong asked the question he was most concerned about.

"At present, supplies are mainly provided by air and land. The frontline troops are fully supported. There has not yet been any problem of delaying the war due to insufficient logistical supplies!"

"That's good!"

The battle lasted for three days, and the Japanese Kwantung Army's position gradually stabilized and the resistance became increasingly fierce.

At the same time, various armies of the Sixth Corps have become increasingly familiar with the Kwantung Army's combat methods, and the cooperation among multiple arms has become more and more tacit.

Xie Chengrui flipped through the documents and added:

"Unit 731, the Manchu royal family, etc. are under the strict surveillance of our army. With the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Hunter Brigade here, it is impossible for the culprit to escape!"

"good!"

Jiang Dong sat down beside the sand table and asked Xie Chengrui with a smile,

"Hasn't Admiral Apanashchenko responded to the proposal to dispatch the navy to attack Japan's Northeast Fleet?"

Xie Chengrui shook his head,

"Old Wu just made it up temporarily. The Soviet navy is not strong in the first place and should be unwilling to take risks. No matter they win or lose, they are not willing to see their fleet suffer losses."

Jiang Dong sighed with some regret,

"Old Wu's mind is spinning very fast. If we can facilitate this matter, it will solve a big trouble for us!"

The Navy's Bohai Fleet will land on the Liaodong Peninsula in the early morning of the 19th to seize the Japanese industrial zones in Dalian, Lushun and other places. If the Soviet Navy can attack the Japanese Northeast Fleet at the same time, the Japanese Navy's attention will be attracted and the Marine Division will be reduced.

Risks of landing.

Jiang Dong thought for a while and then said:

"Let Lao Wu urge Apanashenko and Khachanov to see if it succeeds or not, and I'll give you a quick word as soon as possible."

"Haha, okay!"

Jiang Dong glanced at the clock on the wall, suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"In a few hours, it will be the early morning of the 18th, and the mad dog of Japan will bite the United States. Has the Military Intelligence Bureau intercepted the telegram or received any intelligence about the Japanese combined fleet?"

Although Tanaka Shinichi had been buried in the mountains of Tohoku, Koto was still a little worried that the Japanese base camp would delay the attack on Pearl Harbor because of the fighting in Tohoku.

The United States has been pursuing isolationism for too long, and it is time for them to feel the cruelty of war.

Xie Chengrui recalled it and said:

"There is very little intelligence about the Japanese Navy, but the Japanese Army located in South China is quietly mobilizing, targeting Southeast Asia!

The combined fleet should be maintaining radio silence and making final preparations for a sneak attack!"

Kodong nodded, as long as Yamamoto Isoroku acted normally, the unsuspecting Lao Mei would definitely pay a heavy price.

It was 7 a.m. local time in Hawaii on the 17th, which should be around 2 a.m. North China time on the 18th.

Jiang Dong looked at Xie Chengrui,

"We will stay up all night tonight to let the brothers of the Military Intelligence Agency in Washington and Hawaii keep an eye on the situation at Pearl Harbor. Once the news of the sneak attack is confirmed, report it immediately!"

"Haha... Okay, after all, this is also an action related to the situation of the entire world war!"

…

Ning'an front line.

Wang Laohu commanded the 103rd Armored Division and the 104th Armored Division to confront the Japanese 57th Division and the remnants of the Third Army.

The two armored divisions ran wildly for three days, replenishing fuel and repairing tank failures.

After everything is dealt with, they will continue to charge forward like sharp blades.

Wang Laohu is not an armored soldier, but he is very new to tanks. At this moment, he is sitting on the turret of a tank, eating canned meat with his fingers.

Zeng Jian, commander of the 103rd Armored Division, came to Wang Laohu in a jeep and said:

"Commander, the Japanese in front seem to be holding some kind of swearing-in ceremony. Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Swearing meeting?" Wang Laohu became interested as soon as he heard it. He licked his fingers and jumped off the tank.

The center of the confrontation between the two sides was an open basin. The Japanese were hiding in the mountains and forests and bunkers on the opposite side of the basin. The remaining tanks and armored vehicles were also camouflaged, for fear of being discovered by circling reconnaissance planes.

King Laohu climbed up a hill and looked through the telescope.

There was probably a regiment of Japanese who rolled out of the bunker. They were bare-chested and had bloody scarves on their heads. They were shouting incessantly and looked extremely excited.

"Commander, call the air force for bombing, they are all a bunch of fucking targets!" a young staff officer next to him said eagerly.

Wang Laohu waved his hand. He wanted to see what the little devil was going to do, and said:

"The little devil seems to be trying to kill himself. Take a look..."

Let's all raise the telescope together.

…

The commander of the Japanese 51st Division, Toshichi Uemura, is responsible for commanding more than 50,000 soldiers to block the Chinese armored forces!

The 51st Division just arrived from Harbin.

As soon as Toshichi Uemura arrived at the battlefield, he found that the morale of the imperial soldiers was low. Many officers led their soldiers to retreat without receiving orders from their superiors, allowing the Chinese to advance more than 200 kilometers in three days.

The first thing a new officer did when he took office was that Toshichi Uemura would never allow unauthorized retreat to happen to his troops.

It is already recognized that the performance of Chinese tanks far exceeds the tanks equipped by the Kwantung Army.

In Toshimichi Uemura's view, only truly brave warriors who are not afraid of death and use their flesh and blood can complete the task of blocking the torrent of steel in China.

He selected a regiment of warriors from more than 50,000 soldiers and gave all the anti-tank weapons of the army to these people.

The so-called anti-tank weapons are mainly explosive bags, Molotov cocktails and the like.

When China's steel torrent attacks, soldiers holding Molotov cocktails will rush out from the cracks in the mountains and forests, rushing towards the steel monster with the most courageous attitude, and sacrifice themselves for the empire.

Everyone has gathered, but before the official battle, Toshimichi Uemura has to do something that can boost the morale of the entire army.

More than 20 dejected and ashamed-looking officers walked through the center of the death squad, and then knelt in front of the death squad soldiers.

Toshidō Uemura stood up and explained to the soldiers that it turned out that these officers had lost their positions and troops, but he was still alive.

After some words of encouragement, the soldiers all looked at the officer kneeling in front with contempt.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

A saber appeared in front of each kneeling officer, and Uemura Toshiichi said:

"You are all sinners of the empire and a disgrace to the samurai. What you have done will put the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Now cut your belly to thank the Emperor!"

This is your last chance to maintain your dignity as a warrior!"

The kneeling officers were headed by Captain Ito of the 9th Tank Regiment. He saw the contempt in the eyes of the soldiers of the suicide regiment, and also saw their madness.

Colonel Ito did not dare to look into the eyes of the soldiers. He said to Uemura Toshiichi:

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, give us another chance and let us die on the battlefield to wash away our shame!"

"snort!"

Uemura Toshiichi snorted, the role of these people is to boost the morale of the army, he waved his hand impatiently.

Colonel Ito and others were so disheartened that they wanted to be like a samurai and stabbed themselves in the stomach with a command sword. However, when death really came, they found the sword too cold and could not remove it.

The hesitation of the officers was all seen by the soldiers of the death squad, and for a while there were voices of condemnation.

Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, Colonel Ito finally stabbed the knife into his stomach, then pulled out a word horizontally, letting his intestines flow out.

The kamikaze officer standing behind him did not hesitate and chopped off Colonel Ito's head with a single blow.

More than 20 heads rolled to the ground with a gurgling sound, blood gushing into the sky.

The soldiers of the death squad had blood-red eyes, and under the leadership of Toshichi Uemura, they kept shouting long live.

"Having a disembowelment before the battle to boost the morale of the troops. Japanese officers are very good at it." Wang Laohu put down his binoculars in boredom.
