Devil's Army

Chapter 1546: Attacking the North Bank of the Songhua River

Secretary Li's underground members soon discovered that the Japanese troops in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang were reinforcing Harbin.

Leng Feng received the intelligence and immediately ordered the Xinjing Air Force to take off and bomb.

Before the vanguard of the Japanese Korean Division reached Harbin, it was met with a fierce bombing by the Xinjing Air Force, resulting in heavy casualties and the loss of all its supplies.

The division commander was glad that he had sent reinforcements, otherwise his entire division would have been bombed by the devil's air force, and the losses would have been incalculable.

The division commander planned to wait until night and march quickly to reinforce Harbin.

However, the Japanese troops in Harbin could not wait any longer.

On the morning when Leng Feng ordered an attack on the Japanese troops north of the Songhua River, the cold wind blew snow foam onto the frozen Songhua River.

Soldiers from the 4th and 7th Brigades simultaneously launched an attack on the Japanese positions on the north bank of the Songhua River at multiple points on the south bank of the Songhua River.

Twelve tanks lined up in a row, rolling over the frozen snow, the ice chips kicked up by the tracks splashing like silver rain, and they were the first to crash into the river.

The infantry followed closely behind the tanks and also launched an attack on the Japanese positions on the north bank of the Songhua River.

The ice creaked dully under the heavy pressure.

What the Japanese army had been worried about for a long time finally happened, and they quickly organized a counterattack.

Japanese artillery fiercely bombarded the tanks and soldiers of the Devil Army who were crossing the river.

Fragments of the exploding shells and shattered ice flew everywhere.

The soldiers who were unfortunately hit were also blown away along with the ice debris.

The Japanese army's fierce artillery fire attempted to break the ice of the Songhua River, so that all the tanks and soldiers of the devil troops attacking them would fall into the surging river.

At this time, the whistling sound of Kongshen planes' wings cutting through the lead-gray sky came from far away, and a squadron of fighter-bombers passed by close to the ice surface.

The bombs under the wings of the bombers dragged their tails and smashed into the Japanese infantry and artillery positions on the north bank of the river.

The Japanese artillery positions were instantly engulfed in flames, and barbed wire and frozen soil blocks were lifted into the air and torn apart by the air waves.

At this time, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns near the Japanese artillery positions fiercely strafed the planes of the First Army in the air.

A fighter plane from the first army was unable to dodge and was hit by three shells. It crashed to the ground with thick smoke billowing from its tail.

The other fighters and bombers of the First Army immediately abandoned the Japanese artillery positions and turned to bomb the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery positions.

After several waves of bombing and strafing, the few anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Japanese army in Jiangbei were destroyed by the First Army Air Force.

Then the First Army's air force continued to bomb and strafe the Japanese artillery positions.

After the Japanese artillery positions were destroyed, the tanks of the First Army had nothing to worry about.

Twelve tanks rolled out neat tracks on the ice, and their gun muzzles spewed out orange-red flames from time to time, accurately knocking out the remaining Japanese firepower points on the north bank.

The infantry unit that followed closely behind charged on the ice, their uniforms covered with ice debris raised by the tank tracks, and they continued to shoot at the Japanese troops opposite.

The Japanese soldiers hiding in the collapsed fortifications continued to shoot at the attacking soldiers of the First Army despite the occasional falling shells.

Mortar shells and grenade launcher shells continued to fall on the tanks and the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers of the army charging in the front were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

Seeing that the Japanese troops in the fortifications were still resisting stubbornly, the First Army Air Force flew over to bomb and strafe.

The tanks of the First Army that crossed the center of the river also continued to bombard the Japanese bunkers on the north bank.

The Japanese fortifications collapsed one after another under bombing and artillery fire.

On the frozen river surface, an army's iron torrent is advancing at full speed towards the positions on the opposite bank with unstoppable momentum.
