Devil's Army

After breaking through the Japanese positions on the north bank of the Songhua River, another part of the 4th Brigade immediately advanced towards its next target, Taiyang Island.

The bayonets of the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade drew a sharp cold light on the snowy fields of Sun Island, and collided with the Japanese Type 38 rifles in the frozen river branches, making a sharp metallic sound.

The roof of the nearby Russian wooden house had been blown off by a shell, and the icicles hanging between the broken beams fell down amid the sound of gunfire.

Japanese ambushers in white camouflage uniforms suddenly attacked the vanguard of the 4th Brigade.

Although the vanguard of the 4th Brigade searched and advanced cautiously, they were still ambushed by the Japanese army.

A soldier from the Fourth Brigade rolled along the broken wall, blood seeping from the holes in his cotton uniform torn by shrapnel, which instantly froze into dark red ice in the freezing temperature of minus thirty degrees Celsius.

He suddenly rushed out of the broken wall, roaring hoarsely, "Fuck your grandma..." The flames from the machine gun in his hand had already swept across the white snow in front of him, plowing out charred furrows on the snow.

The camouflaged Japanese soldiers bloomed bright red flowers in the snow.

The sparse woods on Sun Island became natural shelters, and the soldiers used snow piles to build temporary fortifications to resist the Japanese attacks.

When the rifle bullets were loaded, the metal parts were frozen and sticky, and the only way to melt the frost was to use the hot air from your breath.

A little further away, Japanese tanks were advancing in the open field, and the sound of their tracks rolling over the ice was like muffled thunder rolling across the river.

The tanks in the rear of the First Army also followed, and the rumbling sound of tanks and the sound of artillery fire were intertwined.

In the end, the First Army's 100mm short-barreled gun "Koukou" tank's firepower completely defeated the Japanese Army's Type 34 medium tank's 97mm gun.

The Japanese tanks retreated at full speed after two tanks were destroyed.

After defeating the Japanese tank unit, the tanks of the First Army opened fire at full force, firing at the Japanese ambushes lying in wait in the snow and bushes.

The Japanese ambushes in the snow were attacking the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade in front with all their might when they were suddenly bombarded by tanks from the First Army.

Snow mixed with mud and Japanese soldiers were thrown all around by the shock wave of the artillery shells.

The soldiers of the Fourth Brigade who were lying on the ground took advantage of the chaos thrown into the Japanese ambush by the tanks, jumped up and rushed towards the Japanese army.

The Japanese ambushers in camouflage uniforms retreated into the woods and continued to block the attack of the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade.

The heavy machine gun on the following tank fired "da da da..." into the grove. Mixed in with it was the muffled sound of "puff puff..." as bullets penetrated the tree trunks.

The Japanese soldiers whose bodies were exposed outside the tree trunks were shot and fell to the ground.

The Japanese army was unable to withstand the fierce attack of the tanks and soldiers of the 4th Brigade and continued to retreat into the woods.

The soldiers of the Fourth Brigade pressed on step by step and also chased into the grove.

As dusk fell, the gunfire in the grove on Sun Island gradually stopped.

A cold wind blew in from the frozen lake, carrying with it a chilly air that smelled of blood.

The soldiers shuddered, and the reserve soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.

The soldiers on the front line continued to pursue the fleeing Japanese troops.

The commanders of the Japanese military headquarters in Harbin had already retreated northward when the 4th Brigade broke through the positions on the north bank of the Songhua River.

In the evening, part of the 4th Brigade attacked the north gate of Harbin from the main position of the aviation and power hub.

The retreating Japanese troops defended a small area at the north gate.

Then another part of the 4th Brigade that attacked Sun Island also attacked the north gate.

The two forces worked together to defeat the Japanese troops at the north gate.

More than half an hour later, the 7th Brigade defeated the Japanese troops on Taiping Mountain.

This group of Japanese troops was blocked by soldiers from the Fourth Brigade when they retreated to the north gate.
