Like Major General Kikuchi Sai, Tabei and Lieutenant Colonel thought that the enemy was an anti-Union force.
In the past few years, the Japanese army in Manchuria vigorously cleared the Allied forces.
The Kwantung Army in Manchuria has hundreds of thousands of troops and several Category A divisions, while the Anti-Japanese Alliance is just a few stragglers, unable to resist.
The scope of activities and personnel of the Anti-Japanese Alliance were greatly reduced, and some of them entered the Far East to join the Soviet army.
The remaining members of the anti-alliance forces were dispersed in hiding to collect intelligence, build up armed forces, and publicize the anti-Japanese war.
There have been no anti-Union troops activities near Harbin for a long time. Where did these enemies come from?
Tabe Iwa didn't have time to think too much, jumped out of the truck and gave the order to attack.
Dare to attack the locust army here, you are simply seeking death!
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a dense sound like exploding beans on both sides of the road.
"Da da da…"
This sound like exploding beans was of course a gunshot, but Iwa Tabe had never heard such a gunshot before and could not tell the model of the gun.
Moreover, the gunfire was very dense, like dozens or hundreds of machine guns firing at the same time.
"Firecrackers?"
Suddenly, there was a moment of surprise in Tabe Iwa's eyes.
A few years ago, when Iwa Tabe led his troops to fight against the Anti-Union troops, the Anti-Union troops liked to set off firecrackers to scare the Japanese army.
Get an iron bucket, light the firecrackers and throw them into the iron bucket. The explosion will sound like a gunshot.
The Japanese army was indeed intimidated at first, but later they learned that the Anti-Japanese Alliance did not have heavy firepower, so they could not intimidate the Japanese army.
Still doing this?
But the next moment, Tabe Ikazu knew that he was wrong, and how wrong he was.
Almost the second after the gunshots were fired, he saw a dozen soldiers who had just jumped out of the carriage, their bodies twitching and falling as if they had been electrocuted.
Bullet trails as dense as raindrops flashed through the still-bright air.
Tabe Iwa fell to the ground almost like a conditioned reflex, so that he was not beaten into a sieve.
The enemy's firepower is fierce!
At this moment, several artillery shells with trailing flames were fired straight at them. Three trucks were hit instantly, exploded and caught fire, and a large number of Japanese soldiers around them were killed and injured.
Tabe Iwa looked horrified. Who is the enemy?
How come there is such powerful firepower?
"Baga, fight back!"
Tabei and Lieutenant Colonel held pistols in their hands and fired several shots randomly.
At this moment, the Japanese telegraph soldier held the radio, crawled to his side, and reported loudly: "Report to Lieutenant Colonel, news just came from Unit 731. It was the Soviet army that attacked the headquarters of Unit 731!"
"Nani?"
"Soviet Army?"
When Tabe Iwa heard this report, his expression suddenly changed and his mood suddenly sank.
The Battle of Nomenkan directly frightened the Kwantung Army and made the Japanese base camp no longer dare to send troops to attack the Soviet Far East. They even increased the deployment of troops to Manchuria to prevent the Soviet army from attacking Manchuria.
The Kwantung Army had already realized how powerful the Soviet army was, and Tabei Kazu was certainly no exception.
This place is hundreds of kilometers away from the border. How did the Soviet army cross the border and get here?
If it were the Soviet Army, it would be a big problem!
"Baga, why haven't the machine guns been set up yet?"
Tabeihe couldn't help but cursed angrily:
"Where's the grenade?"
Although Iwata Tabe did not want to provoke the Soviet army, since the Soviet army had already arrived in Harbin and was attacking the important military facilities of the Japanese army, it was impossible for him to back down.
"Da da da…"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a Type 92 heavy machine gun rang in his ears.
Not far away, a Type 92 heavy machine gun was firing back and suppressing the ambushing enemies.
But the Type 92 heavy machine gun only fired twice before it stopped abruptly. The Japanese machine gunner's brains were blown out by the bullets fired by the sniper.
When a rocket accurately hit the position of the Japs' machine gun, the Japs' two assistant shooters and the Type 92 heavy machine gun were instantly blown into the sky.
The grenadier soldier had just set up the grenade when he was shot accurately and fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, Tabe Ikazu broke into cold sweat.
At this time, Tabei Kazu was mostly convinced that only the Soviet army could have such strong firepower and combat effectiveness.
Those anti-Union forces, haha, there is absolutely no way they can have this kind of firepower!
The surviving Japanese soldiers lying around were lying on both sides of the car, shooting around randomly.
However, even with poor visibility, the enemy's marksmanship was frighteningly accurate, and Japanese soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood.
"idiot!"
"Report immediately to the Kwantung Army Headquarters."
"The 731st Troop garrison and Harbin City were attacked by the Soviet army. Please ask for tactical guidance!"
"Requesting fighter jets to take off for support!"
Tabe Iwa loudly gave orders to the telegraph soldiers.
There is a Japanese military airport near Harbin. After the pilot receives the order, the fighter jets are refueled and mounted with aerial bombs, and it only takes more than half an hour to fly here.
"Hi."
The Japanese telegraph soldier hiding under the car responded, then picked up the receiver and microphone of the radio and called:
"Moxi Moxi, this is the Harbin Military Police, calling the Kwantung Army Headquarters."
"Moxi Moxi, this is the Harbin Military Police, calling the Kwantung Army Headquarters."
In an emergency, the Japanese telegraph soldiers called directly in plain language.
soon.
The Japanese telegraph call was successful, and the Kwantung Army received the news. As for whether to send bombers for reinforcements, there has been no reply yet.
…
"Squadron leader, the Japanese have just requested support from the Kwantung Army headquarters in plain language."
"The Japanese mistook us for Soviet troops and called in fighter jets for reinforcements."
Not far away, at the ambush position of the 3rd Squadron of the Eighth Route Army's Sharp Sword, a communications soldier reported to Li Changshun, the leader of the 3rd Squadron.
As a communications soldier with Sharp Sword, he naturally understands Japanese.
Li Changshun put down the semi-automatic sniper rifle in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
There were more than 30 Japanese vehicles on the road, including several armored vehicles, but the Japanese armored vehicles had been killed by the bazookas of the 3rd and 4th Squadrons.
Almost 10 Japanese cars were also killed.
The Japanese have a relatively large number of troops, including three infantry squadrons with more than 600 men.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because there was a Japanese ambush, and the guns in the hands of the soldiers of the Sword Squadron are all automatic fire, their marksmanship is superb, and all of them are at the level of marksmen.
In addition, the line of sight was not clear, so once the two sides exchanged fire, the Japanese were always suppressed.
After only a few minutes of fighting, the Japanese had already suffered at least 200 casualties.
The 3rd Squadron and the 4th Squadron have a total of more than 100 people.
At this time, all the Japs were lying on the ground and shooting. If the two squadrons were given some time, they would definitely be able to eliminate this reinforcement of Japs.
60mm mortars, bazookas, Type 56 submachine guns, Type 56 light machine guns, and snipers have been firing at the Japanese.
As the Japanese gained a foothold, they began to fire at the Eighth Route Army, and one or two soldiers even suffered casualties in the army.
And what we lack most now is time. The Japanese fighter jets will arrive soon.
On the ground, the swords and wolf fangs are so powerful that they cannot be resisted by the Japs from Harbin and 731. However, when the Japs send out aviation troops, the swords and wolf fangs can only take a beating.
Various thoughts flashed through Li Changshun's mind like TV sparks.
"Call fire support to Boss Chen's helicopter immediately."
"In addition, immediately report the situation of the Japanese calling the plane to the captain."
Li Changshun gave the order with calm eyes.
"yes!"
The signal soldier picked up the radio receiver and microphone and called.
Currently, the captain of Lijian is Duan Peng, the deputy captain is Wang Xikui, the 1st squadron captain is Wang Gensheng, the 2nd squadron captain is Zhang Tianfu, the 3rd squadron captain is Li Changshun, and the 4th squadron captain is Cao Jinwang.
Comrade Wang Yousheng, who had joined the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army for a year, also grew rapidly and was promoted to the deputy squadron leader of the 1st Squadron.
The people responsible for ambushing the Japanese reinforcements this time were more than 100 special operations team members led by Li Changshun and Cao Jinwang.
When the communications troops used code words to call Boss Chen's helicopter and Duan Peng.
Li Changshun set up a semi-automatic sniper rifle, aimed at a Japanese machine gunner, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Gunshot.
The Japs machine gunner's head also exploded with a blood flower almost simultaneously.
…
Changchun.
Xinfa Road, Japanese Kwantung Military Headquarters.
The Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters was first located in Lushun, then moved to Harbin, and finally to Changchun.
If the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters was still in Changchun at this time.
Lijian and Langya did not dare to attack the Japanese troops' 731 unit with such a big fanfare.
There must be Type A divisions stationed around the Kwantung Army headquarters, and there are even a lot of fighter jets and bombers.
Recently, the commander-in-chief, General Yoshijiro Umezu, has been in a bad mood, which can even be said to be very bad.
The main reason is that the North China Front Army suffered another defeat!
The Kwantung Army's two Type A divisions and two Type B divisions were decommissioned not long after they were transferred to North China.
Moreover, it is still an elite 9th Division, so forget it. After being reimbursed, the Category A 9th Division will still have to let the Kwantung Army wipe its ass for the North China Front Army.
Okamura Neiji abandoned all the wounded of the 9th Division to the Kwantung Army, but the 9th Artillery Regiment stayed with the North China Front.
Not only that, Okamura Neiji also applied to the base camp to continue sending troops from the Kwantung Army to reinforce North China.
Umezu Yoshijiro cursed Okamura Neji countless times in his heart.
He has never seen such a shameless person.
Umezu Yoshijiro was so angry that he couldn't sleep well recently.
Early in the morning, as soon as Umezu Meijiro got up and washed up, Major General Junkya Ikeda, the deputy chief of staff, hurried in and bowed his head to report to him:
"Your Excellency, something happened!"
"What happened?"
Umezu Yoshijiro frowned, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart. Could it be that the 11th Division was also killed by the Eighth Route Army?
"Just now, the headquarters of Unit 731 and the Harbin Gendarmerie reported via radio that the headquarters of Unit 731 was attacked by the Soviet army. On their way to reinforcements, the Harbin Gendarmerie was ambushed by the Soviet army and suffered heavy losses!"
Major General Sumikisa Ikeda spoke very quickly but reported in a clear and coherent manner:
"731 Headquarters and the Harbin Military Police request the dispatch of ground troops and aviation troops for reinforcements!"
"Nani?"
Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly looked shocked. Did the Soviet army attack the Kwantung Army?
How dare the Soviet army do this?
At this time, the German offensive on the eastern front was in full swing. The Soviet army did not have enough troops in the Far East. How dare they take the initiative to attack the Flower of Locust Army?
"Are you sure it's the Soviet Army?"
Umezu Meijiro asked in a deep voice.
"Major General Sai Kikuchi of the 731 headquarters and Captain Tabei and Lieutenant Commander of the Harbin Military Police have all determined that the Soviet army attacked them."
Junhisa Ikeda sounded certain.
"idiot!"
"Immediately order ground troops and aviation troops to reinforce Harbin and Unit 731!"
"The Kwantung Army troops have entered the first level of combat readiness!"
"Seal the border and report any abnormal situations immediately!"
