Devil's Army

On the afternoon of the third day, the sudden cold wave made the commander of the Fourth Regiment guess the order that Commander Leng sent to their brigade commander.

They had arrived at the Songhua River within three days in accordance with the orders of the 7th Brigade Commander.

When the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Northeast was being defeated, the Japanese China Expeditionary Army in North China was unable to come to support.

The 5th Brigade has recaptured the outlying towns of Tianjin, an important city in North China, and is eyeing Tianjin with eager eyes, ready to launch a battle to recapture Tianjin at any time.

The Second Brigade and the Independent Brigade also recovered the outlying towns of Peking. The Japanese garrison in Peking was also preoccupied with its own affairs.

Good news also came from the Southern Front Army stationed in Guangzhou.

They reached an agreement with the Seventh Army of the Nanjing government army stationed in Shaoguan, and entered Jiangxi through Shaoguan to fight against the Japanese.

The Japanese troops invading Jiangxi will be wiped out soon, and Jiujiang, Nanchang, Linchuan, Shangrao, Yingtan and other places in Jiangxi will be recovered.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, Leng Feng and his guards arrived at the south bank of the Songhua River and inspected the positions of the th and th Brigades.

This made the commanders of the Fourth and Seventh Brigades extremely nervous. On the north bank of the Songhua River, the Japanese artillery was watching them closely. If there was any disturbance, a round of artillery fire would come, and they would have no way to explain to Deputy Commander Tan.

Leng Feng pointed at the air force patrolling in the sky and said casually:

"Don't worry, if the Japanese artillery dares to move, our air force will make them into scrap metal!"

The Fourth Brigade Commander still refused to let Leng Feng approach the front line and only let him observe from a distance.

Leng Feng didn't make things difficult for him and just observed the situation on the river from a distance.

The Siberian cold front that arrived yesterday afternoon was indeed strong enough to create a layer of reflective ice on the river surface. However, the ice is certainly not thick enough for tanks to pass through, so reclaiming the northern bank of the Songhua River will have to wait.

At this time, the commander of the Seventh Brigade also rushed to Leng Feng in a hurry.

Leng Feng said to them:

"In two days, the ice should be thick enough to support a large army and tanks crossing the river. Send someone to scout ahead of time."

"good"

"Yes"

"After crossing the river, the 4th Brigade will focus on the area between the Wanbao Dam in Songbei and Dadingzi Mountain. The surrounding wetlands and rivers are numerous, which can hinder the retreat of the Japanese mechanized troops, but also hinder the advance of our tanks. Be wary of Japanese ambushes."

"Ok."

Your Seventh Brigade should pay attention to Sun Island. As a floodplain, it also has large wetland grasslands and a rich variety of landforms. There are floodplains, swamps, gentle slopes, hills, and depressions between hills. The terrain is complex. The Japanese are very likely to set an ambush. Or they may block us layer by layer and delay our advance.

"Yes."

"Commander, we only have three tanks left." said the commander of the Fourth Brigade.

"We don't have many tanks left." The commander of the 7th Brigade immediately responded.

"I have already notified the tribal mobile force to arrange two tank companies to support you. They should be in place tomorrow morning."

"The Japanese troops in Harbin are really difficult to deal with. Many of the troops fight to the death." The commander of the Seventh Brigade sighed.

The Fourth Brigade Commander also nodded with deep understanding.

"Xinjing was the headquarters of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the capital of Manchukuo. We launched a surprise attack on it, and they fled to Harbin in panic. If they couldn't stop our attack and retreated north again, they would have a hard time explaining to their people at home and to the Emperor."

"They have lost their lives here, so why should they explain themselves to the people and the damn emperor?" said the commander of the Seventh Brigade with a smile.
