Tonghua Defense Command, Chief of Staff Guo Zhucang, walked quickly to Luo Zhang and reported: "The division seat, the Air Force bomber group has just sent some new news, which is worth our attention..."

"Uh... Is the Japanese army planning to launch a new round of attacks on us..." Luo Zhang smiled softly and asked indifferently.

In Luo Zhang's eyes: as long as the Japanese army does not change its offensive strategy, the second-line blocking position that the 226th Regiment sticks to will become a bottomless pit that specifically devours the lives of the Japanese. The 226th Regiment can eat as much as the Japanese army comes, ensuring that the position is foolproof.

Under Luo Zhang's gaze, Chief of Staff Guo Zhucang shook his head and replied: "Teacher, we all guessed wrong this time... The Japanese army scattered on the battlefield not only did not advance, but also retreated. They suddenly disappeared half an hour ago, and even the minimum warning unit could not see one..."

"The Japanese suddenly disappeared..."

Luo Zhang frowned and asked subconsciously: "Does the Japanese plan to give up Tonghua..."

After saying that, Luo Zhang shook his head first and said with a firm look: "This situation will never happen. If tens of thousands of elite Kanto Army soldiers want to withdraw from North Korea smoothly, Tonghua is their only way, and it is absolutely impossible to give up Tonghua. In this case, what is the Japanese singing about... Chief of Staff, is this news true..."

Chief of Staff Guo Zhucang affirmed: "It is certain that... an Air Force squadron bomber almost close to the ground to conduct back and forth reconnaissance. In this case, even if the Japanese army made some disguise, it would not be possible to hide it from the eyes of the Air Force pilots..."

Luo Zhang quickly walked to the battle map and confirmed that there was no loophole in the entire city defense deployment. It was impossible for the Japanese army to find a loophole to get drilled. He spoke again: "Chief of Staff, as I just analyzed. The Japanese army would never give up in Tonghua County. Therefore, there must be some ulterior motive secret for the Japanese army to do this."

"Since that's the case, we will respond to changes with the same stability. Order all combat troops on the front line, except for the necessary guard posts, to rest and replenish their physical strength... Order the Air Force to conduct uninterrupted low-altitude patrol and reconnaissance on all areas of the battlefield. If the situation is found, report it immediately..."

“Yes, teacher….”

At the headquarters of the Far East Military Region of Vladivostok, a communications officer with the rank of captain knocked on the door of the commander-in-chief Buluheer's office very quickly. When Buluheer's leisurely command sounded in the office, he carefully pushed open the door and walked to the commander who was sitting in front of the commander who was sitting in the real skin and was sucking in the clouds.

Salute and report with a serious look on his face, "Comrade Commander. The emergency information that the Harbin intelligence agency just forwarded, please check it out..."

Commander Buluhell, who had a leisurely look on his face, quickly stood up from his seat as if he was instantly shocked.

The Soviet Far East Red Army is definitely not inferior to the Japanese. He watched hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese Kwantung Army soldiers as they were in a state of power and quickly occupied the entire three northeastern provinces. As the commander of the Soviet Far East Red Army, Buluhell, can be said to be jealous. He has always thought that he could get a share of the war.

However, because the Soviet Union, especially the Far East, had just stabilized, Commander Buluheer did not have much force in his hands. He could invest in the battlefield in Northeast China, fight against the elite Japanese Kwantung Army, and openly seize the three northeastern provinces of China.

In order not to waste this rare opportunity, Buluheer could only mobilize intelligence agencies and Soviet expatriates scattered in the three northeastern provinces to take advantage of this opportunity to continuously plunder the wealth of the three northeastern provinces of China and report to himself at any time the latest situation and battle situation in the three northeastern provinces of China.

The information in front of me is a routine report sent to itself once a day by the Harbin intelligence agency.

As the commander of the Far East Military Region, I discovered some loopholes for myself to exploit and found opportunities to plunder wealth from the three northeastern provinces of China through the current routine report.

Therefore, every time you receive information, it means that there is a lot of wealth that will be continuously transported from the three northeastern provinces of China to the Soviet Far East Military Region, and even to your own pockets.

With full of expectations, Buluhell quickly received the telegram and began to browse it carefully.

After reading the telegram, Buluhell's facial expression immediately became enlarged due to excitement. He took the telegram and walked quickly to a wall with the entire map of the Far East. His eyes stared at the three northeastern provinces of China. After five minutes, he ordered with an excited smile to the communications soldiers behind him.

"Why are you still being stunned here? I'm notifying the Chief of Staff and the Political Commissar to come to my office immediately. Please..."

After saying that, regardless of the surprise and confusion of the communications soldiers behind him, he spoke to himself: "The opportunity for our Far East Red Army has finally come, occupying the three northeastern provinces of China and inner and outer Mongolia, and expanding territory for the Soviet Union..."

Soon, the political commissar and the lieutenant general chief of staff, who also shouldered the rank of general, stood behind Buluhell.

Looking at Commander Buluheer who had been looking at the map in front of him without saying a word, he asked directly: "Comrade Commander, I don't know if you are so anxious to call me here, what's wrong..."

Buluheer raised the telegram in his hand and said, "Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, you first look at this information from Harbin, China. I believe that after reading the telegram, you will know the specific purpose of my request to you."

With doubts, the two began to browse the telegrams handed over by Commander Buluhell.

Soon, the faces of the two people, like Buluheer at that time, were instantly covered by excitement from the heart. Looking at Buluheer in front of them, he asked with anticipation: "Comrade Commander, what do you mean is to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of the three northeastern provinces in China's northeastern provinces to send troops to the three northeastern provinces and take the three northeastern provinces for their own...."

"Of course, political commissar, don't you think it is our highest honor as Soviet soldiers to expand territory? If we can really occupy the three northeastern provinces of China, no, as long as we can take one or two of them for ourselves, we will become heroes of the entire Soviet Union and heroes to expand territory..." Buluhell replied with a longing look on his face.

Under Buluheer's instigation, the political commissar's face was instantly shrouded by expectation and excitement. He nodded in agreement and spoke in support: "Comrade Commander, I fully support your opinion. For the sake of the Soviet Union, he marched into the three northeastern provinces of China, took it as his own, and expanded the territory for the Soviet Union..."

The opinions of the first and second leaders of the Far East Military Region are unified. Even if they have any opinions, they must keep them in their hearts. Otherwise, if the political commissar sends a telegram, he will probably be treated as an anti-counter-counter-dealer. He will be sent to the military court and become a bargaining chip for the advancement of the spy.

Seeing the two direct chiefs looking at him at the same time, the chief of staff quickly replied: "Report to the commander and the political commissar. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Red Army in the Far East have been prepared to march into the three northeastern provinces of China from the east and west and north at the same time. Please ask the two comrades to issue combat orders..."

"Very good, Chief of Staff, immediately notify all commanders of the division level and above of the Far East Army and quickly rush to the Military Region General Command for a meeting. I want to deploy any specific attacks for everyone, and seize the entire three northeastern provinces from the hands of the Chinese..." General Buluheer, who was full of desire for land, ordered with anticipation on his face.

"Yes. Commander..."

Hailanpao, which is only a river from Heihe River in Heilongjiang Province, is a military base of the Soviet Far Eastern Army. It not only has an army combat division and a tank regiment, but also a river fleet. A total of 16 inland gunboats with tonnages ranging from 500 to 1,000.

Although these inland gunboats were iron-shelled gunboats eliminated in one battle, they were not considered to be ships at all. However, a 150mm caliber naval gun installed on the bow of each gunboat is enough to show off its power along the Heihe River and dominate the entire Heihe River.

The Soviet Red Army once again stationed such a large army, for the safety of Heilongjiang and for the sake of not provoking the Soviet Red Army on the other side of Heilongjiang. The former Northeast Army only stationed a Northeast Army border defense battalion here, facing the Soviet garrison from Hailanpao across the river, defending the Heilongjiang River, and ensuring the safety of the northern part of Heilongjiang.

As a border defense force, although the Heihe Border Defense Battalion was under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Army General Command, no matter how brave Zhang Xueliang was, he did not dare to order the border defense force to retreat voluntarily, confirming the fact that he had voluntarily given the territory to the invaders. Therefore, when hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops retreated into the pass, tens of thousands of border defense forces scattered on the borders of the three northeastern provinces still stood firm and acted as the guardian of the country.

After a night of cold patrol, dozens of border guards who were wandering at the Heihe Wharf, each of their cheeks was red. They walked around cautiously while walking around in their sleeves, and their hands that had been frozen were frustrated in their sleeves, waiting for their colleagues to come and change their posts.

At this moment, more than ten thick black smoke suddenly rose in the direction of Hailanpao, the Soviet Red Army base, less than two kilometers away. Then, inland gunboats drove out of Hailanpao military dock, appeared on the Heihe River, and went upstream along the river, slowly sailing towards where they were.

"Old Russians, they are old Russian gunboats..." A soldier with a cold blushed face suddenly expanded his pupils, pointing to the Japanese naval guns that were lined up two kilometers away, and exclaimed in shock.

Immediately, a platoon of defenders looked at the river surface that was still shrouded in a mist.

The platoon leader, who had a certain understanding of the scale of the Soviet Far East Red Army on the other side, turned red and pale because of fear and tension. He shouted at his subordinates: "No, it's the Russians' Heihe Fleet, and the entire fleet has been dispatched. What do the Russians want to do? Should they attack Heihe..."

After saying that, he roared loudly at the squad leader: "Bastard, why are you still standing there? I immediately fired a gun to warn the main force to enter the position... Old Russians, the old Russians in Hailanpao are going to attack our Heihe..."

"Bang..." A crisp gunshot instantly broke the quiet atmosphere of the Heihe River. The barracks not far from the pier quickly fell into chaos. Border guards rushed out of the barracks while carrying their pants. Some even rushed out of the barracks without even taking weapons...

After two minutes, a garrison battalion, more than 500 officers and soldiers gathered. They rushed into the dock and entered the fortifications along the river.

At this moment, more than a dozen gunboats lined up in a row had already rushed to the river surface less than a kilometer away from the dock. More importantly, facing the constant warnings of several flag bearers at the dock, the dozen gunboats still had no intention of stopping. Continue to maintain their speed and bump into the dock.

"Damn it, the Russians are indeed not good at coming. They are ready to attack our Heihe... Brothers, load my bullets and prepare for battle. As long as they catch ashore, they will beat me hard... The radio operator will send a message on the radio station immediately, and must use clear codes to tell the world: The Soviet Far Eastern Army is launching an attack on my Heihe, invading our Chinese territory, and asking for reinforcements..." The battalion commander of the garrison battalion who held a telescope in his hand said with a firm command.

“Yes, camp….”

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen gunboats had rushed to 500 meters away from the wharf. Through the telescope, the battalion commander of the garrison could clearly see that the 150mm caliber naval gun standing beneath the gunboat, slowly raising his black hole muzzle under the control of the old Russian gunner.

Seeing this, the battalion commander's face turned pale just now.

Because the defense line along the river was built with a small amount of cement to block the machine gun bullets. There may be no problem. However, in front of the Russian 150mm caliber naval gun, these defense lines were even more fragile than paper-patterned.

It is conceivable that after the dozen or so gun shells shot by the Russians landed on the position, the entire river defense line would be instantly blown out more than a dozen huge craters with a depth of more than two meters. Of course, the simple defense line he was in would also be razed to the ground.

More importantly, all subordinates gathered in the defense line along the river will hit the Russians one round after another. Before they see the Russians attacking their troops, they will lose all their losses and lose their ability to resist.

Thinking of this, the battalion commander of the garrison battalion decisively ordered: "Brothers, withdraw from the position immediately... hurry up and retreat in a scattered manner. The old Russians are about to fire their guns. Those who don't want to die will immediately retreat into Heihe City, rely on the city, and fight street battles with the old Russians..."

The order was issued, and the battalion commander of the garrison took the lead, carried his weapons and ammunition, rushed out of the position, and rushed to Heihe County hundreds of meters away.

Hundreds of garrison soldiers, just left the position. A neat roar sounded from the bows of more than a dozen gunboats in the Soviet Heihe Fleet. When one large caliber naval gun was instantly covered by thick white smoke from the launching shells, more than a dozen large caliber naval guns were already flying into the sky with sharp and sudden whistling sounds...

For naval guns, the shooting rate of more than 1,000 meters is definitely more than 90%.

More than a dozen large-caliber naval artillery shells, without exception, all hit the border defense forces along the river.

"Boom boom boom..." A series of explosions of shaking mountains sounded, and the orange-red flames and air waves generated by the explosion of the shells quickly swept around. Then, black smoke mixed with a large amount of soil and logs flew into the sky under the action of the air waves, forming a huge mushroom cloud of more than ten meters high above the blasting point.

More than a dozen naval artillery shells exploded, and in an instant, more than a dozen towering black smoke columns and mushroom clouds formed along the river's defense line.

At the same time, more than ten huge craters with depths of more than two meters and a radius of five meters were quickly seen on the surface of the defense line along the river, which was built based on the mountains. Looking down from the air, more than a dozen craters scattered on the defense line along the river were like meteorite craters on the surface of the moon, which were very eye-catching.

The first round of naval shells had just exploded, and the second round of cannon shells with a whistling sound followed closely and appeared over the battlefield.

The shell exploded, and while the black smoke column and mushroom clouds took off, there were more than a dozen large bomb craters that appeared on the defense line along the river.

When the Soviet Heihe Fleet had more than a dozen gunboats, relying on their wealth and strength, poured shells into the defense line along the river. Manzhouli, thousands of miles away from Heihe, was also suddenly attacked by the Soviet Red Army.

More than 30 Soviet tanks, carrying a regiment of Soviet Red Army, swept across Manzhouli like a road roller on the grassland.

A company of the Northeast Army border defense forces that were defending the frontier positions in Manzhouli were submerged in the torrent of Soviet tanks before they could fire a few bullets.

The Soviet Red Army, which successfully annihilated a company of the Chinese border defense army, did not stop at any time and continued to attack the main position of the Chinese defenders in Manzhouli.

On the endless grassland without any high ground, how could a light infantry regiment without heavy weapons block the Soviet steel torrent attack?

At the cost of hundreds of officers and soldiers, the garrison regiment had just blown up more than 30 Soviet tanks covering the attack. A burst of artillery fire hit the garrison regiment.

A Soviet army's large-caliber howitzer regiment fired 5,000 shells into Manzhouli before stopping the shelling.

Then, with a tank battalion as the leader, a Soviet infantry regiment was led to launch a new round of attack on Manzhouli...

When the command center of Shenyang Ninth Army, Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng focused all his eyes on the Tonghua battlefield. Deputy Chief of Staff Xiong Shaowen walked in with panic expression.

At the same time, he subconsciously exclaimed: "Master, something happened... The Soviet Union and the Soviet Far East Red Army launched an attack from three different directions at 6 o'clock this morning. At present, at least 9,000 border guards have been destroyed in the attack of the Soviet Red Army..."

"What, the Soviet Union's Russians attacked the three northeastern provinces..." Li Guosheng asked in a pair of incredible eyes.
