"Baga Road!" Lieutenant General Hatan Shigeichi, commander of the Fifth Army of Japan, roared like a hungry dog.

"Where is the artillery corps, let them implement long-range artillery support immediately!"

Chief of Staff Major General Tasaka slid out of the woods on the roadside, not caring about tidying up his appearance, and spoke quickly:

"Lieutenant General, the Chinese have taken the initiative to attack us, and they are coming in full force and should not be underestimated."

Hatan Shigeichi became even more violent when he heard this. Seeing that some soldiers around him were shaken and panicked, he hurriedly calmed down his mind and reappeared as a general of war and calm in the face of danger.

The Fifth Army has the 11th Division, the 24th Division, the 25th Division, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade. It has 4 border garrisons, three tank corps, and five field heavy artillery corpses. It has strong troop strength and excellent weapons and equipment.

The Fifth Army was originally stationed in Hutou Fortress, Miaoling Fortress and Mishan, and was ready to fight against the Soviet Union all day long.

Unexpectedly, I just received the order to give up the preparations for combat against the Soviet Union two days ago, but the Chinese took the initiative to attack the Manchuria region through the Soviet Union, with an extremely fierce offensive.

As an extremely fanatical militant, after hearing that the three fortresses including Suifenhe and others were lost, Shigeichi Hatano did not hesitate to bring the main force of the Fifth Army from the north to support him.

Only a few border guards were left to guard against possible Soviet attacks.

Like other senior generals of the Japanese Flower, they were extremely proud before they actually met the Sixth Corps and did not take the Chinese army seriously.

Early this morning, the 11th Division of the Fifth Army's main force, just passed Mishan, and countless rockets suddenly appeared in the sky. Then the warriors of a brigade of the 11th Division were swallowed by explosions and flames.

More than 10,000 Japanese flowers were wiped out before they could see the enemy.

The attack was not good, which made the commander of the Fifth Army Shigeichi Hatano extremely angry.

At this moment, he received another news that the Chinese took the initiative to attack him. He felt his temples rushing wildly, and blood seemed to be about to shoot out.

“Huhhhh…”

The weather was not very hot, but Hatan Shigeichi was covered in sweat. He stared at the battle map, pondered for a moment, and ordered:

"Order the Third Cavalry Brigade to cross the infantry units and launch a decisive charge against the Chinese to buy time for the arrival of the heavy artillery corps!"

There is only one road to go from Mishan to Mulin, and it is still between the mountains and ridges. The rapid speed of movement can only be used to go on the highway, and the battle between the two sides will also revolve around the highway.

Hatan Shigeichi found that he underestimated the enemy a little, and he needed the cavalry brigade to buy time for himself to re-arrange!

time!

What we lack most now is time. If we cannot defeat the enemy in front of us as soon as possible, the Chinese will directly attack Harbin and Changchun.

Chief of Staff Tasaka Takaichi hesitated for a moment and immediately conveyed the order.

“Yu……”

"Tait..."

A brigade of cavalry quickly hedged from behind and rushed to the southwest without hesitation.

Such terrain is not conducive to cavalry charges, but infantry cannot quickly pass through the areas blocked by enemy artillery fire, and can only passively be beaten and retreat.

What Hatan Shigeichi most looked forward to was the three field heavy artillery corps he brought.

The field heavy artillery gang is equipped with 150mm howitzers, which can effectively suppress enemy artillery fire.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

The cavalry corps rushed over and the whistling of fighter planes came over their heads.

"Lieutenant General, hide quickly!"

The soldiers in charge of security did not wait for Hatan Shigeichi to react and dragged their lieutenant general into the woods beside the road.

The Japanese soldiers on the road and in the mountains were also panicked and looked for cover. For a moment, the shadows of the trees were shaking and were extremely chaotic.

Before leaving, Hatan Shigeichi received information from the headquarters, one of which stated that the Japanese army's flower had lost air superiority in the Manchurian airspace.

But the Lieutenant General was eager to fight and did not keep this information in mind. Therefore, he did not think of air defense issues when marching.

"Boom..."

The fighter plane flew over the head of the infantry queue and threw the ammunition it carried to the rear.

Hatan Shigeichi got out of the woods in a very embarrassing state. Seeing thick black smoke rising from the hills in the distance, he asked in confusion:

"Why did the Chinese plane throw shells behind? What's there?"

The chief of staff next to him had a pale face and a stiff body. He said in despair and sadly:

"Leverly General, there is the position of the field heavy artillery corps!"

"Nani..." Hatan Shigeichi repeated with a dull expression,

"You mean...our heavy artillery...is gone..."

Chief of Staff Tasaka nodded.

There is no time to be sad, sad and angry, and there are continuous explosions coming from the front of the road.

The cavalry of the Japanese cavalry brigade was fearless. They rushed on the not-so-spacious highway with the fierce artillery fire and machine gun fire from the 2nd Army. The people in front died and the people behind continued to rush forward.

On the road, the valley was filled with corpses of people and horses. The smell of blood spreads with the mountain wind, making people unable to help sneezing.

Fu Yisheng held up the telescope and looked at the one-sided battlefield ahead. His brows became deeper and deeper, and he murmured:

"If the Japanese are so brave, if they hide in the deep mountains and forests to fight guerrillas with our army, it will definitely be a big trouble!"

Sun Lanfeng next to him continued:

"The deputy commander-in-chief is overly concerned. We are facing the flowers of the Japanese army. Before they really have a dead end, they will not choose to fight low-level tactics like guerrilla!

Air Force reported that the entire highway was filled with Japanese vehicles and soldiers, stretching for more than 10 kilometers!

The plane was flying back to the front line and was loading a fire bomb, ready to blow it from beginning to end!

The Air Force pilots even spoke out that they could dismantle the Japanese Fifth Army with just bombing!"

Fu Yisheng shook his head and chuckled. He was laughing at the young Air Force pilots who were arrogant. The Japanese were not fools. After seeing the power of the bombing, they would definitely hide in the mountains and forests to fight one after another.

Thinking of this, he said to Sun Lanfeng:

"Let our brothers not stick to the road, and go around the mountains and forests on both sides during the Air Force bombing. Compress the Japanese's activity space!

Send more scouts out, and when they find that the Japanese are gathering, they call for fighter jets to strike, so that the Japanese can feel the power of modern warfare!”

"yes!"

Fu Yisheng raised his telescope again. In his vision, the Japanese cavalry had completely disintegrated. He was in a panic and rushed into the woods and fled backwards.

He put down his telescope and sighed and shook his head.

There is no doubt that the Air Force fighter jets are the absolute protagonists throughout Operation Songhua River.

They don’t have to consider the obstacles of the mountains or the disconnection of logistics supply. They just need to accurately place the ammunition they carry on the top of the Japanese heads.

After the advanced radio technology was widely used, the air support of infantry can almost be said to be on call.

Operation Songhua River is an unprecedented battle to recover lost land, and it is also a drill for huge open spaces.

The combat ideas and combat methods of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Corps will be changed.

...

After being hit twice in a row, Shigeichi Hatano began to seriously look at the opponent on the other side.

His brain was flying at this moment, and he only thought of one question.

How did the Chinese army fight without air supremacy?

Sneak attacks and interspers, hiding out at night, and the fortress defends...

Putting aside his arrogant figure, Hatan Shigeichi is also a dynamic commander.

In order not to allow the Chinese to attack Changchun and Harbin and penetrate deep into the hinterland of Manchuria, the current Fifth Army must take the initiative to attack forward.

Under such circumstances, it will definitely not work, so you can only sneak attacks and intersperse and hike out at night.

After thinking clearly about this, Hatan Shigeichi decisively ordered:

"Give up the road and the whole army enters the mountains and forests!

The search team attacked from all sides and captured the local Chinese to lead the warriors!

Hurry up quickly…”
