Headquarters of the South-Eastern Military District.

"Report to the commander, there is an urgent report from the front that a large force of the Japanese and Korean armies has appeared on the banks of the Yalu River, and the Japanese army has a tendency to cross the river! A telegram for instructions came from the front-line positions. "The operational staff passed the intelligence from the front to the hands of Lin Hu, commander of the Southeast Military Region.

"What instructions does the young marshal have? Did Little Japan declare war with us? Lin Hu's face was gloomy and he said.

"Nope. The Major Marshal has just reported on the surprise attack of our Navy by the Japanese Navy of the Southern Military District. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched a stern protest. At present, the Japanese government has not released any attitude on this matter! ”

"Pretend to be stupid! Want to create a given fact? Commissar, what do you think? Lin Hu was a little uncertain. After all, the Japanese are only on the other side of the Yalu River. It's Japanese territory. Rushing into war without being sure of Japan's intentions would leave people talking.

"This time the Japanese are really moving! Although I don't know the attitude of the Japanese government, the army obviously can't help it. As long as they cross the border, it will be tantamount to war with us. As a soldier, it is your duty to defend your territory, and you should not hesitate in the face of invaders. Yan Lei said in a deep voice.

Lin Hu nodded. He is not an indecisive person. What's more, the Southeast Military Region, as the forefront of facing Japan's land attack, has always been on first-level alert. The troops of the South-Eastern Military District can be put into battle at any time.

"Order the front-line troops, if the enemy crosses the border line, it will be regarded as a provocation against our Chinese soldiers, and they should be resolutely eliminated!"

On the banks of the Yalu River.

On the side belonging to North Korea, dense armies appeared under the cover of forests. There is also the roar of machinery hidden in the footsteps.

"The commander of the reporting division, the Honda Wing sent a telegram that the other division has been deployed on the bank of the Yalu River, and the river can be crossed." The headquarters of the third division, the staff officer said nervously. Although the Japanese Army claims to be invincible in Asia, more than ten years have passed since the Russo-Japanese War. During this period, there were no large-scale battles in Japan, and it is unknown what kind of combat effectiveness the army had.

"Order Honda United to attack! Occupy enemy positions on the other side of the river as quickly as possible. At the same time, it will generate electricity for the heavy artillery wing, so that it can fire to assist the advance of the Honda wing. "It's still winter. The ice of the Yalu River is several meters thick, enough to bear the passage of troops and weapons and heavy vehicles. It's just that the unobstructed Yalu River is easy to become a target for the enemy.

Rumble...... An earth-shattering artillery bombardment sounded on the Yalu River, and the Japanese artillery took the lead in firing the first artillery shot in the northeast.

Command of the Second Brigade of the Northeast Army.

"Brigade commander, the enemy troops have stepped on the solid ice of the Yalu River. The enemy's heavy artillery units were the first to attack and shelled the positions of our troops on the other side of the river. The positions of the first regiment were already drowned in smoke. A regiment of soldiers has also been thrown into battle! Jiang Xingguo, chief of staff of the Second Brigade, said.

"Can Japan have new weapons in use?" Second Brigade Commander Wang Zhidao asked in a deep voice.

"Haven't found it yet! However, judging by the sound, the caliber of the enemy's heavy artillery varied, and the lowest was more than 120 mm. I'm worried that I won't be able to hold the position. ”

"Will our artillery be able to enter the war?"

In the face of heavy artillery units, it can only be restrained by artillery. After all, heavy artillery has a long range and great power. In addition to artillery, other units of the Northeast Army could not reach it at all.

"Can't! Our artillery positions are set up on the second line of defense! Even if the artillery is fired, the support for the front line will not be very strong. On the contrary, the position of the artillery position was leaked in vain, affecting the next battle. Jiang Xingguo said with a worried face.

"What's going on with the military district staff? How could the heavy artillery regiment be placed in the second line of defense, should we give up the first line of defense in vain? Wang Zhidao's face was gloomy. You must know that the first line of defense is the most elite second brigade of the Southeast Military Region. Without the support of heavy artillery, the 2nd Brigade would have suffered a lot after the war! If there is a major injury, Wang Zhidao will not be able to explain it to the commander.

"Commander, there is an order from the headquarters, asking us to kill and wound as much of the enemy's living forces as possible on the first line of defense. The decisive battle set up by the headquarters is on the second line of defense! Jiang Xingguo said.

"His grandmother's! What kind of method is this to arrange troops, are we stupid to bear the enemy's shelling by the river? Wang Zhidao's face was dissatisfied.

Riverside positions. The soldiers of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Brigade were nestled in strong underground fortifications. In response to this attack, the Northeast Army's fortifications were the most fortified. Heavy artillery ploughed over the positions. As long as it doesn't happen to land on the entrance to the narrow underground bunker, it will be difficult to damage the soldiers below.

The Japanese artillery attack did not last long. The power of heavy artillery is staggering, but the cost is equally staggering. Heavy artillery shells are expensive things, and each shell costs Japan precious money. In this case, the artillery wing naturally did not dare to waste too much.

Boom!

"Regiment commander, look, it's the enemy's tank!" On the south bank of the Yalu River, several strange-looking tin boxes slowly climbed on the ice. These iron boxes slowly drove across the river in the infantry, gradually approaching the forefront of the Northeast Army.

"Well done! Grandma's! Lao Tzu has long been aggrieved enough in the ground! This time I want to make the little devil look good. Mencius. Let the little brothers all take the lead, it's time to go out, and it's time for us in the Northeast to shine on new weapons! "With the order of the commander of the 1st regiment. Clusters of figures appeared on the land that had been plowed by Japanese heavy artillery. The figures had one thing in common, one of them carrying a long cannon barrel on his shoulder.

Boom! Tongues of fire shot out from the positions of the Northeast Army. Then hit the front of the tin box at great speed.

Rumble!

The tin box exploded in an instant! The screams of Little Japan could be heard inside.

"Yaga! The Chinese army has adopted a new type of weapon! Quickly report to the division and regimental headquarters that our tanks have been attacked by the enemy's new weapons, and one of them has been damaged. "Captain Ichiro Honda looked at the Japanese tank that was on fire on the north bank of the Yalu River, and his heart was dripping blood! You must know that tanks are still a new thing in the Western world, and at present, only a limited number of powerful capitalist countries in the world, such as Britain, France, and Germany, can independently manufacture tanks. The Japanese Army attaches great importance to tanks with extremely lethal and deterrent capabilities. It's just that Japan is a small country with scarce resources. Coupled with the need to maintain a large navy, the amount of money that can be allocated to the army each year is really limited. As a result, Japan was able to spend a pitiful amount of money on the development of tanks. In the end, in the case of saving money and producing results as soon as possible. The so-called scientists in Japan chose to reinforce steel plates on cars. Each vehicle was then reinforced with a 60 mm rapid-fire gun or a Maxim heavy machine gun. Each tin box can seat four people, one person is responsible for driving the car, and three people are in control of the weapons. It is used to cover infantry charges.

With the scrapping of Japan's first tank, earth-shattering cheers rang out from the positions of the first regiment. The confidence of the fighters was greatly increased. They all began to aim for the second tank.

"Yaga! Order the tanks to retreat and the infantry to charge! Captain Yamada couldn't help it. You know, there is a lot of hope for tanks in Japan, although this tank is a little shoddy. The sudden appearance of a new weapon in the Northeast Army and the killing of one of them already made him extremely distressed. If there is another loss, he really can't explain it to his boss.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The Japanese soldiers had already rushed to the opposite bank with the help of tanks, and then began to counterattack by relying on favorable terrain. I have to say that the 3rd Division, as a veteran division of Japan, has really good combat effectiveness. Especially soldiers in individual training. The soldiers' movements and marksmanship were excellent, and in the first round of attacks, several soldiers who were slow to dodge on the position of the Northeast Army were killed by the enemy.

"Let's get closer to Lao Tzu and fight again!" A clump grown. The war with Japan will be a long-term war, and this is the consensus within the entire Northeast Army. Although the materials in the Northeast are still being transported to the front line from afar, the needless consumption is a reckless behavior. In addition, the commander of the first regiment was confident in the firepower of the Northeast Army, so he dared to let the troops get closer!

Da-da-da-da!

Machine guns rang out on the battlefield. The Japanese soldiers, who were caught off guard, fell in pieces. Then the remaining soldiers quickly adapted to the situation, relying on the terrain to crawl close to the position.

"Grenades!" A lump grows up.

Countless black shadows were thrown from the position, and then fell into the enemy, blooming brilliant blood flowers.

"Regiment commander, the little devil has a small army that crossed the station of our regiment and touched in the direction of the second regiment!" The political commissar said in a deep voice.

"The quality of the little devil's individual combat is really outstanding. But we're not weak. If you really fight the bayonets, they may not be as powerful as us! The second regiment has already prepared, let's not care, just do our own thing. The head of the regiment said.

Boom!

A regiment of subordinate mortars began to wield. Shoulder-fired rocket launchers are also no longer aimed only at enemy tanks. After all, when Japan launched an attack this time, there were only seven tanks. One was killed by the Northeast Army, and the others retreated a lot, almost out of the range of rocket artillery.

In terms of firepower allocation alone, the scale of firepower of the Northeast Army is higher than that of the Japanese army, after all, the purpose of the establishment of the Southeast Military Region is to deal with the attack of the Japanese army. The Northeast Army was inferior to the Japanese army in terms of training time and foundation, and there was not so much new equipment in the army. But the Northeast Army always pursued a strong firepower. Therefore, after figuring out the firepower configuration of the Japanese army through the spy personnel. The firepower of the individual squads of the Northeast Army is stronger than that of the Japanese army. For example, in each squad of the Southeast Military District, there are two light machine guns, one grenadier and one rocket. Each platoon also has a heavy machine gun squad, and each company has a mortar squad. Such firepower is already terrifying.

In the face of such powerful firepower of the Northeast Army, the first wave of the Japanese offensive was crushed, and the soldiers wailed and retreated.

"Yaga! Eight grid tooth road! You can't even break through a small position. It is really an insult to the prestige of the Imperial Japanese Army. On my orders, the Honda Wing launched a second wave of decisive attacks to occupy the positions of the Northeast Army at all costs. The Honda co-captain looked at his retreating soldier and felt extremely ashamed. You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, and such an ugly behavior is transmitted to him, which naturally makes him angry. If it weren't for the fact that it was a state of war now, he would probably have been ordered to have his stomach seppuku.
