Devil's Army

The iron torrent of the First Army rushed towards the Japanese fortifications on the north bank of the Songhua River with unstoppable momentum.

The Japanese heavy artillery positions were destroyed, and the mortars and grenade launchers could only delay the advance of the army's tanks.

The tanks of the First Army rushed across the frozen Songhua River and attacked the Japanese fortifications. However, the First Army's steel torrent was quickly blocked by the Japanese army's stakes and dragon tooth anti-tank cones set up on the riverbank.

Seeing that the tanks of the Devil Force were blocked by their anti-tank fortifications on the river beach, the Japanese army increased the intensity of their counterattack in an attempt to drive the soldiers of the Devil Force back to the south bank of the Songhua River.

Although the 12 tanks of the First Army were forced to stop advancing, they continued to bombard the Japanese firepower points in the fortifications like 12 steel bunkers, supporting the offensive of the Fourth and Seventh Brigades.

With the strong support of tanks and artillery, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade shouted as they crossed the collapsed barbed wire and fortifications, rushed to the Japanese positions, and with their bayonets gleaming, stabbed at the Japanese troops in the trenches.

The Japanese army finally couldn't hold on and retreated northward.

The soldiers of the Fourth Brigade defeated the Japanese troops on the north bank of the Songhua River and immediately cleared the stakes and dragon tooth anti-tank cones on the river beach.

At around 3:00 p.m., the 7th Brigade also defeated the Japanese troops on the defense line on the north bank of the Songhua River.

The Japanese army deployed heavy troops to defend the natural barrier: the positions on the north bank of the Songhua River finally collapsed under the three-dimensional attack of the First Army's aircraft and tanks.

The commanders of the Fourth and Seventh Brigades knew that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, and the Battle of Harbin had to be decided quickly.

After clearing the stakes and dragon tooth anti-tank cones that blocked the tanks' advance, part of the soldiers of the 4th Brigade continued to attack and advance towards the area from Songbei Wanbao Dam to Dadingzi Mountain under the cover of tanks.

Another part of the soldiers of the 4th Brigade advanced towards Sun Island.

As the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade were searching and advancing, fierce gunfire was heard from the direction of Dadingzi Mountain.

The soldiers advanced quickly in the direction of the gunshots.

The wetlands along the Songhua River were steaming with humid water vapor, and the river branches were densely spread like a spider web between the Wanbao Dam in Songbei and the Dadingzishan Navigation and Power Hub.

The First Army's six tanks also rolled over the muddy embankment at full speed, their tracks stirring up black mud. But just after passing the eastern end of the Wanbao Dike, the wetland mud began to "swallow" the steel behemoths.

The tracks of the two leading tanks were deeply embedded in the soft soil between the river branches. When the turrets were turning with difficulty, the track plates were already tightly entangled by the water plants.

The tanks behind dragged the two tanks that were entangled by water plants out of the mud.

The infantry passed the stopped tanks and continued to attack in the direction of the gunfire.

At this time, on the other side of the embankment, Japanese machine guns spewed flames from the concrete fortifications of the avionics hub.

The attacking soldiers were constantly hit by Japanese machine guns and fell into the mud of the wetland.

The soldiers bypassed the air and power hub and continued to advance towards where the gunshots were heard.

The gunshots coming from the front were also approaching the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade.

The commander of the second battalion of the first regiment of the fourth brigade finally saw a troop running towards them, with another Japanese troop chasing them from behind.

The second battalion commander ordered his soldiers to make way for the troops to pass, and then launched a fierce attack on the pursuing Japanese troops.

The pursuing Japanese troops came under fierce fire attack and immediately stopped advancing and retreated quickly.

After the Japanese retreated, the second battalion commander met with the commander of this unit.

He told the second battalion commander that they were the remnants of the Seventh Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, and they suddenly encountered the Japanese army at Dadingzi Mountain, and the two sides immediately exchanged fire.
