The sudden scene on the Japanese position startled everyone, especially the tanks that followed closely behind, and they chose to stop at the first time. Just kidding, there are currently only seven tanks in the Northeast, and one has just been blown up for unknown reasons, and the rest are naturally more cautious.

Tick Tick Tick Tick ...... The Northeast Army's bugle sounded, and the infantry following the tank launched a charge, quickly occupying the Japanese position and cleaning up the wounded Japanese soldiers who might pose a threat to the tank. For the wounded Japanese soldiers who did not surrender, the Northeast Army has never been soft. After all, the two sides have fought each other and suffered some losses. This is a battlefield, and there should be no woman's kindness.

Seeing the soldiers rushing to the Japanese position, Lin Hu, who was observing from the rear, breathed a sigh of relief. The gap in the official road is the biggest weakness of the first line of Snow Valley, and it is also the focus of the enemy's defense. On this gap, the Japanese army set up a total of five major defense lines, which can be described as heavily guarded. At the beginning of the war, it was already extremely exciting to be able to capture one place with the sharpness of tanks.

"Order the troops, using the official road as a breakthrough, to launch an all-out attack on the Japanese army." Lin Hu ordered in a deep voice.

Under his orders, the soldiers of the Northeast Army rushed to the battlefield in a steady stream.

Thundered!

The remaining six tanks in the Northeast roared again, and the Iron Monster once again flexed its sharp fangs. The victorious voice of the carrying soldier slammed into the second line of defense of the Japanese army.

On the first line of defense, the Japanese placed a reinforced squadron, and on the second line of defense, a regrouped brigade. In such a small area, more than 1,000 people are crowded here, even if there are not enough weapons and ammunition, it is still a very difficult bone to gnaw.

Boom Boom!

The Japanese mortars began to wield, and during the retreat, the only fire weapons that the Japanese troops had completely withdrawn from the No. 1 assembly area were mortars. Just to prevent the bombardment of the Northeast heavy artillery, all the mortars were broken into pieces and dispersed to each squadron and squad, so that they could effectively avoid being locked by the heavy artillery of the Northeast Army and annihilating the whole army at one time. However, this also has drawbacks, scattered mortars cannot form concentrated and effective firepower, and scattered shooting is difficult to affect the tanks of the Northeast Army. In addition, between the first line of defense and the second line of defense built by the Japanese army, there was an official dirt road, although it was an uphill road, and the slope was limited. It did not affect the advance of the tanks at all, so it was difficult for the Japanese attack to affect the tanks. But it has a lot of lethality to the infantry behind.

"Order the artillery units, ten minutes of fire suppression, to buy time for the tanks to rush to the enemy's positions." Lin Hu ordered loudly. Although the enemy's scattered mortars will not cause large-scale fire deterrence, the damage to the infantry caused by such scattered shooting is not small, especially under this kind of interference shooting, the infantry slowly distanced itself from the tank. Tanks are not afraid of bullets and shrapnel, but the infantry that follows behind them cannot, flesh and blood cannot be compared to steel.

Boom Boom!

The mountain artillery and field artillery of the Northeast Army did not hesitate to pour bullets onto the Japanese positions. The entire position was filled with gunsmoke. Under the concentrated and dense artillery fire, the Japanese counterattack was suppressed alive.

Thundered!

The second line of defense of the Japanese army was stormy. Fear inevitably arises in the hearts of the soldiers in the face of such an invincible steel monster.

Rear command of the Japanese army.

"I didn't expect that the people of China could even produce tanks, so in this way, is there any hope for the Japanese Empire to win?" Lieutenant General Akiyama couldn't help but feel pessimistic in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we should report to the North Korean Army that new weapons have appeared on the battlefield in the Northeast Army of China. Although their tanks were not as large as those of the Imperial Japanese tanks, their agility and firepower far exceeded those of the Imperial Japanese tanks. Plus the machine guns that the people of China could shoot down planes. Shoulder-fired rocket launchers capable of dealing with tanks, as well as large-caliber heavy artillery and powerful firepower configurations in the Northeast, need to be reported to the command. Major General Ono Fengshi, Chief of Staff of the Seventh Division, said in a deep voice.

"Ohno-kun, your idea is very good, according to the current situation, the Snow Valley defense line may not be able to resist the attack of the Shina army, as a general, we have the consciousness of dying in battle, but we can't die in vain. When I report to the DPRK Military Command, I attach my personal advice. Send reinforcements quickly or retreat again. Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshiko said in a deep voice. Different from the opinions of those people in the military department, after really seeing the strong combat effectiveness of the northeast on the battlefield, Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshiko had his own ideas in his heart. In the event of a full-scale war between the Empire of Japan and China, Lieutenant General Yoshiko Akiyama believed that it would be the Empire of Japan that would win in the end. After all, the empire has developed for decades, and the background is not comparable to the newly established government of China. However, it should also be noted that the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army is indeed very strong, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is no worse than that of the Imperial Japanese Army. Under these circumstances, if the Empire of Japan wanted to eliminate the government of China, it would have to launch a national war again and concentrate the forces of the whole country in order to have a chance of victory.

Since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Empire has launched a total of two national wars, the first is to bet on the national fortune and the Manchu government of China to go to war, the result is very smooth, the combined fleet of the Great Japanese Empire eliminated the Beiyang Fleet, which is known as the first in Asia, forced the weak Manchu government to sue for peace, so that the Great Japanese Empire received a huge amount of reparations, and provided unlimited impetus for the economic recovery and development of the Great Japanese Empire. The second war history in which the fortunes of the country were gambled on took place more than a decade ago in the Russo-Japanese War. This was a necessary battle for the rise of the Empire of Japan from a regional power to a world power. Through this battle, the Great Japanese Empire gained a huge position. But it is undeniable that the war was won. But the hard-line Russians had no intention of asking for reparations, and not only did Japan not get any benefit from Russia, but also spent the last yen in the treasury. The unemployment rate as a whole has risen sharply, and the fiscal sector is on the verge of collapse. If it had not been for the raiding of the northeastern part of China, I am afraid that the Great Japanese Empire would have gone bankrupt after its victory. After all, the empire at that time was far behind Tsarist Russia in terms of heritage.

Now also facing the Shina Army, Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshiko has a sense of foreboding in his heart. Since its establishment, the Northeast Army of China, a force known for its toughness, has never stopped the pace of war, fighting bandits, local troops, the regular Beiyang Army, and the armies of the Russian powers. The potential for such development is beyond anyone's expectations. It is this record of almost no defeat that makes Lieutenant General Akiyama Yoshigu have to pay attention to it.

The battle on the front line was still in full swing, and the second line of defense of the Japanese army, which was stormy, changed hands at the moment when the northeast tanks rushed up. The morale of the Northeast Army was heightened by the success of the offensive.

Unlike the elation of the Northeast Army Command. The atmosphere at the headquarters of the Korean Army of the Japanese Army can be described as extremely depressing. Guy because of the constant bad news from the front.

Regarding the threat of the gap in the official road in Snow Valley, Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa is of course very clear. A brigade was placed along the entire gap, and five impregnable lines of defense were arranged. But it was the positions that he thought were foolproof that were broken through by the Northeast Army one after another. The sharpness of the tanks of the Northeast Army made him feel dumbfounded.

Why is it the same tank, the Northeast tank can rampage on the battlefield and establish such great feats, but the tanks of the Great Japanese Empire are so vulnerable, from the moment the Japanese tanks entered the battle, they were simply live targets on the battlefield, which made Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa have an extremely absurd feeling.

"Your Excellency, what do you think of Lieutenant General Akiyama's proposal?" Major General Bai Shuidan asked in a deep voice.

"I've sent an urgent telegram to the military department asking for help. At the same time, all the forms of the battlefield will be reported, and it is not for us to guess what decisions the military department will make. Now we just have to be patient. Lieutenant General Toshiyin Matsukawa said in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency, Commander, can you send the Sixth Division to help in the battle? If the 6th Division were to be put into battle, even if the Empire of Japan could not win, it would still be possible to crush the enemy and drive us out of China. Major General Bai Shuitan said in a deep voice.

"No! The Sixth Division cannot be moved, and the Special High Division has reported that the Russian Far East Army has been active frequently recently, and no one knows what their purpose is, and if the Sixth Division is transferred at this time, once the Russians make any changes, the consequences will not be borne by us. "The Russo-Japanese War, after giving the Japanese endless honors, also brought them a mortal enemy. The Russians never admitted defeat in the Russo-Japanese War and were extremely disdainful of the might of the Imperial Army that the Japanese proclaimed, and under these circumstances, relations between the two countries were extremely tense. In addition, the Russian Tsar and the Japanese Emperor both wanted to annex Northeast China, but there were only two checks and balances, and neither could do it.

Another point is that the Russians are also extremely coveted by North Korea, in addition to the greed of the Russian old Maozi for land, there is also the desire for ice-free ports. Now Russia has only one ice-free port of Vladivostok as the station of the Russian Pacific Fleet. It's enough, but it's not very safe after all. In addition, the Korean Peninsula is very close to the Japanese mainland, and if Russia can get a piece of the Korean pie, it will be even more constraining for Japan.

Based on this thinking, the Russians have arranged a lot of spies to operate in North Korea in recent years. I want to find the flaws of the Japanese army's rule. And many of those rebels and bandits secretly received Russian support. It's just that with the rise of the Northeast, the conflict between the Northeast and Japan continues to intensify, and the Russians also have the idea of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, and the rebel forces in Korea are soon bought by the spies in the Northeast and receive a lot of weapons and ammunition support from the Northeast. They did have some influence on the Japanese as well. It's a pity that Feng Yong really doesn't dare to compliment the combat effectiveness of the Goryeo sticks, so his support for them is only to the point, after all, rats are still rats in the big one, and their courage will not become bigger.
