Destroying electrical equipment. In the early morning of September 26, they began to intensively destroy telephone lines.
This kind of sporadic sabotage has existed since the war between Ming and Soviet Union. And it is mutual. The Ming army sent White Russian agents over, and the Soviet army sent yellow agents over there. There are a large number of yellow agents in the Soviet Far East Army.
People are all natives and ancestors of Siberia and the Far East.
They are all Mongols, Oroqen, Hezhe, etc., and now they are all Soviets. Although the sabotage personnel on both sides are also called "agents", most of them are temporarily trained and they carry out simple sabotage tasks behind enemy lines.
It is not the same thing as a specialized "agent" of an intelligence agency.
It is precisely because this kind of mutual destruction has become the norm that the Ming army dared to use this trick again on the eve of the attack. Because this trick has been used repeatedly by the Ming army, it might be seen through. But in practice several times
Experience shows that the destructive effect on the eve of the attack is really good.
With the experience of the Northern Expedition, the Ming army is now familiar with this kind of "cross-river blitzkrieg". In the dark night, nearly one million Ming troops gathered on the banks of the Ussuri and Heilongjiang rivers.
of
The assault boats were piled on the riverside, covered with thatch and camouflaged nets. The first wave of attacking soldiers had nets wrapped on their helmets, and branches and leaves were tied to the nets. They lay quietly in the lush thatch on the riverside.
No trace is revealed.
The troops responsible for the first wave of attacks this time were still the old troops who crossed the river in the first wave on D-Day of the Unification War. These soldiers looked at the dark opposite bank quite calmly, slowly wiping their weapons and checking
Ammunition and equipment. Occasionally, a messenger would run over and whisper the latest order.
There is no moon in the sky, but there is a bright starry sky. The weather is very clear and cloudless. This is the ideal weather for the attack. The original plan was that if the weather on the 26th was bad, such as cloudy or severely cloudy, it would affect the bombing of aircraft.
If so, then D-Day will be postponed. And nearly a million troops gathered along the two rivers, even if
No matter how tight the confidentiality measures are, they can only be maintained for a day or two at most. Whether it is a Soviet reconnaissance plane taking pictures, a small group of scouts crossing the river to investigate, or a spy sending intelligence, Moscow will be able to respond in a day or two at most. Moreover, if
If you miss the 26th, then the 27th will be Monday, and Moscow and the military region will be in a more efficient state.
The pontoon bridge troops who participated in the battle of crossing the river in the Unification War are now in place at the rear. Just waiting for the first batch of assault boat troops to break out of the beachhead position, they can build the bridge in a familiar way.
Dozens of frontline airports repaired by the Ming army in the Northeast, as well as those originally built by the Japanese army, are now in use. At around four o'clock, more than 500 bombers and more than 300 fighter jets roared off and took off.
squadron, pilots of each group
They were extremely skilled, relying only on the small flashing lights on the aircraft's fuselage to identify each other in the night sky, keep distance, and form formations at the same time. One after another, like dark clouds, the bomber groups quickly flew towards the Soviet army's positions on the other side of the river.
All airports.
These twin-engine bomber groups are divided into two parts, the "A group" and the "B group". The "A group" should try to destroy the Soviet aircraft at the beginning of the attack, preferably in
On the ground, these bombers are carrying small but large amounts of "hail"
"Bombs" were dropped in large areas, capable of covering the entire airport. The mission of the "B-Group" was to bomb Soviet military camps, ammunition depots, fuel depots, tanks and car parking areas, and transportation hubs connecting various troop garrison locations.
, such as train stations, bridges, etc.
In the Nanjing Headquarters, the clock in the command hall struck half past four. The entire hall was silent, and all the generals and officers looked at Tang Yunsheng.
The adjutant trotted over and reported:
"Sir, Group A is approaching their respective target airports. Group B will also arrive at their respective targets within a few minutes."
Tang Yunsheng nodded, very satisfied. After a long period of war experience, the command and coordination level of the Ming Army's aviation force is now quite ideal. This time it was almost "on point", and the performance was even more rare.
He picked up the phone and said two words quietly: "Start."
Suddenly, the silence was broken at the front line and in the hall of the headquarters at the same time.
On the banks of the Wusuli River and the Heilongjiang River, it was already slightly dawn.
Suddenly, without warning, thousands of cannons fired in the silent fields. The world was illuminated, with orange-red flashes everywhere, and then it fell into darkness in an instant. At the same time, a bright yellow light rushed into the air quickly.
Within a few seconds, the river surface was covered with dense flashes of light. The white fish belly that had just emerged in the east was completely drowned by the flashes of tens of thousands of large and small artillery.
Heavy artillery with calibers ranging from one to two hundred millimeters to mortars with calibers as small as 80 and 60 millimeters were firing at the opposite bank. The heavy artillery bombarded deep targets more than ten kilometers away and more than twenty kilometers away. The mortars
The artillery bombarded targets thousands or hundreds of meters across the river. The Soviet riverside fortifications, temporary observation posts, machine gun bunkers, and sandbag emplacements that had been detected in advance were immediately engulfed in a sea of flames.
In the far distance on the other side of the river, hemispherical spots of light flashed one after another. They were the flashes of heavy artillery shells exploding more than ten kilometers away.
Because compared with the original Qing army, the current Soviet Far East Army was obviously more vigilant, so the Ming army did not take the risk of adopting the method of "first attacking on the ground, then bombing the airport". Because if the Soviet army had reacted faster, it was likely that
A large number of planes would fly in during this time difference. And when the Ming army suddenly
To attack the Qing army, they first took advantage of the cover of darkness to let the first batch of assault boat soldiers row quietly to the other side. The bombing of the airport must have minimum visibility, so it started when the sky was dark. Just like that, the Qing Dynasty
The military's inefficiency and slow response still resulted in a large number of aircraft being blown up at the airport.
Now facing the highly vigilant Soviet army, the Ming army no longer dared to play with the "time lag", and they still started to fight at the same time honestly. That could only be done when it was dawn. And since it was already dawn, the charging boat soldiers secretly
It is obviously unrealistic to touch it. Then simply prepare firepower, bombard the other side, and then let the assault boat soldiers kill it with "open fire".
The riverside was shaken by earthquakes, and bombs also dropped on the Soviet airfield behind.
Even though they knew that dozens of divisions of the Ming Army were on the other side of the river, no one seemed to be able to resist the lazy sleep on Sunday morning. What’s more, this was not “lazy sleep”. It was still early in the morning, and it was still the worst time to sleep.
, even if they were on duty, they would not get up so early. Many Soviet officers and soldiers at the airport were blown out of their beds.
Suddenly I heard the ground shaking outside, and the air wave directly broke through the glass windows of the dormitory. Many Soviet officers and soldiers rolled out of the bed, some lying on the ground, some shouting for pants, and some even wearing no pants.
, grabbed his clothes and rushed out. A political commissar rushed out shirtless and shouted:
"Assemble!!! This is sabotage! The saboteurs exploded the ammunition depot!!!"
"It's not sabotage!" An officer threw himself next to him and pushed him to the ground, avoiding the flying glass. "Comrade Major, this is bombing! The Ming bandits are bombing us!"
"Bombing?" the political commissar shouted loudly, "What does the air defense department do for food? This is serious paralysis! I will send him to a military court!!!"
While he was shouting, a flaming object spun and fell in front of him.
