Heilongjiang, Luhe Village, more than ten kilometers southeast of Nianzi Mountain.
Next to a forest near the road, eight armored communication vehicles and three field tents formed a very simple temporary command post.
On various fronts where the mechanized troops of the Anjia Army are rapidly advancing, such temporary headquarters can be seen everywhere. Road generals, group armies, divisions and specialized brigades all like to use this simple temporary headquarters, which usually does not last long.
These headquarters will then follow the troops forward again. They are easy to disassemble and there are fewer procedures for dealing with fellow soldiers.
However, it was such a terrifying advance speed that made the Japanese army feel at a loss as to what to do. The Japanese garrison in many towns had just received orders to shrink their defenses and were already facing the embarrassing situation of being unable to advance or retreat.
July 27, three o'clock in the afternoon.
The commander of the First Army, General Ye Cheng, stood proudly in such a temporary headquarters. On the sandy road not far away, tanks, armored vehicles and trucks full of soldiers drove one after another towards the east.
go.
In the sky, you can see groups of bombers mixed with fighter jets flying past at low altitude every few minutes.
Since the Japanese fighter planes were destroyed at the airport from the beginning, there was no fighter plane available to fight. At this time, almost all the fighter planes of the Anjia Army Air Force were equipped with aerial bombs, and they carried out ground support like horizontal bombers, while diving
The bombers roared down from high altitude again and again unscrupulously.
It has to be said that the B2 bomber, which looks extremely clumsy, does have unparalleled power and deterrence when attacking ground targets. More than 400 Japanese troops once drove more than 1,100 puppet troops to defend the Daheishan Mountains northeast of Genghis Khan Town.
Dahewan Town in the area and hindered the offensive of our ground troops.
However, the Air Force only dispatched a squadron of B2 bombers to carry out a round of bombing, and the Japanese soldiers who had their hearts stolen from them surrendered obediently with the puppet troops.
"Commander, the 139th Division of the 43rd Group Army sent a telegram. They have rushed into Gannan Town (today's Fularki) north of the Nen River! There is no new report from the 138th Division yet, but from the Air Force
According to the feedback, they have almost arrived in the area east of Qiqihar!"
A young major communications staff officer came to report with a telegram, but Ye Cheng had no intention of taking the telegram and took a glance at it, so he decisively issued an order:
"Very good! Tell Colonel An Yufeng, commander of the 139th Division, to stop advancing when he sees the Nenjiang Railway Bridge and launch defense on the spot! In addition, send a report to General Peng Wanjun of the Northern Assault Group and ask him to head east at full speed.
Rush to the area west of Qiqihar as soon as possible, join up with the 138th Division, and be ready to forcefully cross the Nen River at any time;
"There is also General Li Yuewu of the Southern Assault Group. The forward troops of his group army must arrive at Gannan Town within two hours. We must cross the Nen River before sunset and block the Qiqihar Japanese army before it retreats. This
It’s a rare big fish!”
"yes!"
After a while, the communications staff officer turned back.
"Commander, General Lu Shunchen sent a telegram. His 55th Division has crossed the Yalu River and is advancing towards Jingxing Town. Once Jingxing Town is captured, it can quickly go south through the simple road there and occupy
Qiaojiang Town on the west bank of the Nenjiang River cuts off the Tao-Ang Railway to Tao'an, Taonan and other places in Liaoning!"
"good!"
Ye Cheng said approvingly: "It is indeed an elite journey under Hutou's command. The advance speed is not slower than our tank troops... In this way, the Japanese army in Qiqihar can only..."
Having said this, Ye Cheng suddenly realized something and strode to the map spread out on a simple table made of several empty ammunition boxes. He looked at it carefully and his expression changed:
"No, the southern route is blocked. They can still retreat north... The 133rd Division of the 41st Group Army had a problem when they attacked Ningnian Town. The Japanese troops there held many civilians hostage as shields.
As a result, our offensive was blocked. Once the Japanese army went north and fled back to Harbin via the Qishan-Keshan Railway (Keshan to Ningnian), it would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain..."
Ye Cheng frowned and patrolled the lines and circles on the map for four or five minutes before finally making up his mind:
"Call General Peng Wanjun and ask his troops to arrive in the area west of Qiqihar without stopping, and hand over the task of crossing the river to the 138th Division. His group army will continue to move northeast, waiting for an opportunity to cross the Nen River, and then attack Ningnian
Tai'an Town to the east of the county has completely closed the way for the Japanese army to withdraw eastward!"
"yes!"
The communications staff officer saluted and left in a hurry.
Listening to the rumbling sound of artillery in the distance that was sometimes dense and sometimes sparse, Ye Cheng couldn't help but feel a little itchy. He looked back at the busy staff officers and shouted: "Andy Lau!"
"arrive!"
In the blink of an eye, a young major who looked to be in his early twenties trotted up in front of Ye Cheng. He was Ye Cheng's adjutant.
Ye Cheng naturally didn't know that his adjutant had the same name as a certain big star, so he ordered: "Assemble the guards, I want to go to the front line and have a look! As for the headquarters..." He lowered his head and looked for it on the map, and Ye Cheng pointed at a
Black dot: "Temporarily move to Shibali Village in the mountainous area!"
...
A quarter of an hour later, Ye Cheng's guard - twelve Leopard II medium tanks, six Tiger I heavy tanks, eight Type I assault guns, sixteen tracked infantry fighting vehicles, and twenty-five half-track armored personnel carriers.
Together with an entire motorized infantry company, they were ready to set off next to the headquarters.
All tanks and armored vehicles are painted in camouflage colors. Armored soldiers and motorcyclists wear field camouflage uniforms. Only tank crews wear black military uniforms.
Ye Cheng did not choose to ride in his own armored communication vehicle, but quickly jumped onto a Tiger I tank. This huge tank is currently the safest type of weapon in active service in the Anjia Army - although the body
The front 100mm of lower armor and side armor are not impeccable, but now
The Japanese army today does not have effective weapons that can penetrate such thick armor at long distances. However, at a closer distance, the Tiger I tank's combat operations have infantry fighting vehicles and armored vehicles for close protection. The advantages of technology and tactics make this tank
Such behemoths are rarely completely destroyed on the battlefield.
Seeing Ye Cheng carrying his own tank, the commander of the Tiger I tank quickly gave up the observation position on the upper part of the turret, along with the earphone and throat communicator to his commander, and then retracted into the tank to act as a machine gunner or communicator.
After skillfully taking over the commander's position, Ye Cheng glanced at the tanks and armored vehicles behind him, turned back, raised his right arm, slowly flattened it forward, and loudly ordered: "Tank soldiers, move forward!"
...
"Liberate Northeast China and move forward!"
On a forest grassland where explosions were heard one after another, a group of Anjia officers and soldiers, bowed and armed with automatic rifles, shouted and followed closely behind a Type III tracked infantry fighting vehicle.
Anjiajun's infantry fighting vehicle research and development has never relaxed. The "Cheetah Type I" (not mass-produced) and the "Cheetah Type II" six-wheeled combat vehicles developed in 2033 and 2034 are among the first generation products.
The "Cheetah III" eight-wheeled combat vehicle developed is a second-generation product. After the naming was standardized, it was named after the Type I and Type II combat vehicles. They are both wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.
The Type III tank, which was developed and finalized two years ago, is uniformly track-driven and mainly uses a 20mm anti-aircraft cannon as its main combat weapon.
Due to the refinement of the division of labor between tanks and armored fighting vehicles, armored fighting vehicles do not need to bear the heavy responsibility of charging ahead due to their weaker armor than tanks. Therefore, twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns customized with Oerlikon anti-aircraft gun technology are used
Finally, regardless of the rate of fire, range or firepower density, it is much more effective than the 37 rapid-fire cannon of the Type I and Type II armored fighting vehicles, and can destroy all targets trying to get close to the tank in the shortest time.
At the same time, due to the replacement of a diesel engine with a larger horsepower and smaller size and the strengthening of armor defense, the weight of this armored combat vehicle has increased to thirteen tons, and the cross-country speed can reach 25 kilometers per hour.
A 7.92mm machine gun is installed to enhance firepower output.
"call out--"
A shell suddenly fell and exploded less than five or six meters away from the infantry fighting vehicle. Two soldiers were shot and fell immediately. However, looking around, the corpses scattered on the grass were still dressed in khaki.
Most of the Japanese soldiers in military uniforms approached
In the bushes and around the winding trenches, hundreds of Japanese corpses still maintain various postures when they died. On the machine gun positions made of sandbags, those with crooked handles, chicken necks, and crooked handles
The machine guns all hung helplessly with their muzzles lowered.
"boom--"
A Leopard II tank about 20 meters ahead suddenly stopped. After adjusting the muzzle, it fired a shot towards the place where the Japanese artillery shells flew. With a loud noise, it was located between two red spruce trees, with a large number of branches and leaves.
A covered Japanese artillery position was blasted into the sky, and broken limbs and broken arms mixed with the remains of the cannon were fired everywhere.
After completing the shooting, the Leopard II tank continued to move forward. Further away, with the sound of branches breaking, big trees were ruthlessly knocked over by the Tiger I tank at the front.
On the ground, on the Japanese position about two thousand meters in front of the woods, many Japanese soldiers were leaving the trenches in panic and fleeing to the rear. Some even dropped their weapons.
Two minutes later, Anjiajun's tank artillery fire was still firing. A group of fighter planes roared over the woods, and then fired a barrage of fire at the Japanese position.
In just ten minutes, a large number of aerial bombs fell on the heads of the Japanese one after another. The last bit of morale of the Japanese army finally collapsed and they collapsed to the rear.
"Don't stop, move forward!"
On a Tiger I tank, the commander of the Second Tank Division, Major General An Ruoyi, wearing a black tank uniform, loudly greeted his soldiers. Not far to the northeast of this position, a large river was already vaguely visible.
The aircraft fleet that had just completed its combat mission flew majestically over the Nenjiang River. While circling, the pilots discovered that the highway bridge had been broken into several sections by the Japanese bombings. The lonely bridge piers stood in the rushing river, causing white spray.
Another wave of aircraft roared past, using aerial bombs and bullets to clear out a Japanese artillery position on the other side of the Nen River, so the Second Tank Division reached the west bank of the Nen River without any hindrance.
Just when An Ruoyi was discussing battlefield defense with Colonel Xiao Yiming, commander of the 138th Division, an order came from the group army commander Lieutenant General Peng Wanjun, asking him to immediately lead his troops north along the Nen River and coordinate with the group army's engineering brigade on the Arun River.
A pontoon bridge was built in the downstream section of the river where the river confluences with the Nen River, and the Nen River was forcibly crossed, creating conditions for the enemy to encircle Qiqihar.
