Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The war reached a stalemate, and the Japanese relied on the military fortresses they had built in advance to fight to the death.

They also took advantage of the situation to build many echelon positions and use defense in depth to tie down the tank brigade of the Far Eastern Army.

At the same time, be prepared for street fighting in the city.

The Soviets had experience in street fighting, and the victory in Stalingrad was more of a victory in street fighting.

A regiment of the Japanese army was guarding the city and they put up a resolute resistance, fighting until the last man.

This has been seen before. Ding Wei destroyed many brigades and regiments. The Japanese's fearlessness of death is a guarantee of their strong combat effectiveness.

But once you are in a disadvantageous position, this fearlessness of death becomes a bad thing.

There is a saying that goes "If you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood." However, war is not always won, and anyone can be defeated.

If we preserve our main forces and bide our time, we may be able to fight back.

But the Japs had no intention of retreating. They charged forward bravely despite heavy machine gun fire to be loyal to the Emperor.

This blind worship has ruined hundreds of thousands of people.

This mentality of dying with honor also caused the Americans to suffer a lot, and they were unwilling to continue attacking the islands held by the Japanese.

This group of guys who refused to surrender fought desperately but still failed, but they were able to cause great trauma to the attacking party.

In order to capture Okinawa Island, the Americans suffered 8 casualties.

The capture of the island forced them to assess the losses of the war; continuing to fight the Japanese to the death was not worth the cost.

If we want to destroy a million Japanese troops, we will have to pay at least hundreds of thousands of casualties. After calculation, I feel that it is a bit of a loss, so let the Russians do it.

Now the Far East Army's fight with the devils also depends on the agreement signed between the father and the Eagle Sauce. If he defeats the Kwantung Army, he can get the benefits of the Far East.

The Japanese had too few artillery pieces and not enough anti-tank weapons, so they had to pull out the Type 91 howitzers and lay them flat to serve as anti-tank weapons.

Once a large-caliber howitzer hits the target, the power of the shell is enough to blow up a tank.

But there were too few of them, only a dozen or so howitzers in total, which were not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth.

The planes roared over, so dense that they blocked out the sky and the moon.

An indiscriminate attack was launched against the Japanese garrisons.

The Mudanjiang Detachment in the Changbai Mountain area has already established contact with the Far East 88th Brigade.

Both sides were armed forces in the war of resistance, and they finally met. Zhao Gang developed a force of more than 10,000 people here, with the old devils of the anti-war alliance as the foundation, and absorbed many capable fighters.

It was decided to cooperate in the battle to destroy the Japanese supply lines and military warehouses from behind the enemy lines.

The main purpose was to seize the enemy's supplies to help the Far East Army attack and make their attack smoother. In particular, the airport in the rear became Zhao Gang's main target.

The combat objectives of the Mudanjiang Detachment were to bomb the airport, seize Japanese planes, and seize supplies from the warehouse.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they attacked the rear of the Japanese invaders, fought alone, and plunged into the chaotic situation.

They took the opportunity to capture the puppet troops and clear out the defeated Japanese invaders.

The wounded soldiers who were evacuated from the front line suffered a second round of devastating blows.

Especially when they found out there were Japanese soldiers from the anti-war alliance in their team, the Japanese soldiers lost their minds.

What's going on? People from the same family shouldn't fight against each other.

Some Japanese were lured by the anti-war alliance and decisively gave up resistance, willing to surrender and accept transformation.

The fighting on the Mudanjiang front was particularly fierce. The Japanese's 10 skeleton divisions still had a certain combat effectiveness, and it was also the place where the fighting first broke out, so they resisted very toughly.

On the Heilongjiang front, the Second Front of the Far Eastern Army did not encounter much resistance and easily crossed the Heilongjiang River and sneaked into the northern Manchuria area.

After crossing the Heilongjiang River at night, the tanks quickly launched an offensive and headed straight for the important city of Jiamusi.

1300 aircraft were deployed to launch a surprise attack on the ships of Manchuria.

Cooperate with the Amur River District Fleet to attack Harbin by water.

The Japanese inland ships suffered a fatal blow, and the air bombing and land pressure were synchronized. After the two sides encountered each other, the intensity of the battle escalated.

What Ding Wei was most concerned about was still the Hailar direction. The Fourth Army was squeezed like a sandwich, unable to retreat or advance. It could only rely on fortifications to hold on and repelled a round of offensives by the Trans-Baikal Front.

Most of these were elite troops transferred from the west, and they should have been able to push into the core areas of the Northeast with great momentum.

However, they were blocked at the first step and were stopped outside by the Japanese.

The cannons roared, the sound like thunder.

Thousands of fighter planes frequently launched attacks, bombarding the Hailar and Arxan fortress areas.

With this scale of artillery coverage, the Japanese were killed or wounded, and a large number of bunkers were destroyed.

But the permanent fortifications were very intact and withstood the artillery bombardment, and through hidden firing holes, they fought back against the Soviet advance.

The Japs had no other choice: either resist to the end or be wiped out on the plain by the armored divisions in the rear.

Compared with the latter, they prefer to stay in the fortress. At least the thick concrete provides them with a layer of protection.

An entire army of the Trans-Baikal Front was tied up in the fortress area and could only clear out the enemy's bunkers piece by piece.

Knock one by one, there is no shortcut.

Anov was anxious. While other troops were making good progress, his own army was stuck on the periphery.

The troops suffered some damage, but not many enemies were killed. For a lieutenant general, whether he could achieve a good result depended on this one wave, and he obviously didn't achieve it.

For two whole days, with bombing from planes, advance from tanks, and artillery fire, they only advanced two or three kilometers.

At this rate of progress, he would still be in Hyrule when the other two fronts had finished fighting.

Fighting like this is not a solution. While the brother troops are eating meat in the front, he can't even get soup. He must contact Ding Wei, bypass the Hailar defense line, and directly penetrate into the heart of the Kwantung Army.

You see, when there is interest involved, Arnold also becomes smart.

Ding Wei's troops were on high alert, ready to attack at any time. Hearing the sound of artillery fire and the roar of airplanes in the Hailar area, he was already excited.

The Far Eastern Army is still very rich and powerful, with thousands of fighter jets and bombers.

On the other hand, the Japanese had a limited number of fighter planes that could take off. They were far inferior in both quality and quantity, so they used anti-aircraft guns to counterattack, and the effect was quite good.

The Soviet fighter plane that was hit fell down, and the parachuted pilot was hit by a shell before he landed.

The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot stage from the second day.

The fighting was intense in some areas, but a bit funny in others.

Lieutenant General Volkov's 9th Guards Mechanized Army attempted to cross the Greater Khingan Range, bypass the mountainous area and advance into the heart of the Kwantung Army.

The army was equipped with a number of Sherman tanks donated by the United States, which found it difficult to maneuver in mountainous and swampy areas. Many tanks simply broke down and failed to achieve the expected advancement goal.

There were also two army groups that attempted to approach Wucheng from Outer Mongolia.

The mechanized cluster of Soviet and Mongolian cavalry directly broke through the border line and pressed towards Wucheng and Duolun.

What’s going on? Are you guys going to fight the Japanese, or are you here to go shopping in Ding Wei’s territory?

Sun Desheng's cavalry division encountered the Soviet and Mongolian cavalry, and there was some minor friction between the two sides. This group of unreasonable Russians were beaten up.

It was discovered that the cavalry division of the Suirecha Military Region was quite powerful and had relatively elite weapons and equipment, so it could not be used by force.

Only then did they propose to take the route from Wucheng and march towards Jidong and Rehe to cut off the connection between the North China Expeditionary Army and the Kwantung Army.

We hope that the Eighth Route Army of the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region will cooperate in the battle.
