It started to rain again.

The climate in Northeast China this year is a bit abnormal. Before the rainy season, it has been raining heavily and lightly, and everything is wet. Although every soldier of the First Red Flag Army is wearing a raincoat, his whole body is inevitably wet, and the chill makes the fatigue particularly strong. They have not had a sip of hot soup for nearly thirty hours, and have not even had a serious sleep. When they are hungry, they tear open the vacuum bag of field rations and chew, and when they are sleepy, they hold the rifle and sniff in the car for a while. When they are detouring, the Chinese army's position is often separated by twenty or thirty kilometers, and they sleep continuously.

You must sleep three minutes and wake up seven minutes, otherwise you will most likely never have the chance to wake up again. The climate of the wasteland also made them hate it. The heavy rain and light rain in the daytime, and everyone was covered in mud and became mud monkeys. At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and the soldiers had to fall asleep with mud ice. This experience was simply a nightmare! However, these Soviet soldiers who were already like mud monkeys could not see any tiredness on their faces. On the contrary, each pair of eyes flashed with a desire for battle: the hellish wasteland had been left behind by them, and the Jilin-Harbin Railway was already in front of you!

In the command car, Major General Tokarev, the commander of the army, was snatching horse meat from his helmet with a dagger and putting it into his mouth. This was the spoil they had caught when they swept out a small ranch before they walked out of the wasteland. The cooks slaughtered all the animals and threw them into the pot and cooked them together with potatoes, compressed biscuits, Russian bacon, etc. into a messy but barely edible thing. The fat, tender and delicious beef and mutton were all distributed to the soldiers. The officers of the army above the army were assigned three old horses.

Due to the tight time, the horse meat was half-cooked, and blood was flowing down after biting it. An elderly man like him had a bite of difficulty. However, the most difficult journey had reached the end. The huge turn on the Jilin-Harbin Railway, the goal of the First Army of the Red Flag, was close to him, so he ate very slowly and calmly. Several chiefs of staff and division commanders were also burying their heads and eating, their lower palate kept wriggling, and the chewing sound was very loud, which looked very scary. I accidentally thought they were eating the Manchu and Han banquet.

He tried hard to swallow a piece of horse meat that could be chewed no matter how hard he chewed it, Major General Tokarev drank a few sips of soup similar to the water in the washing pot, and then signaled the orderly soldiers to take away the rest. He was old and had a bad appetite, so it was enough to eat a little. He looked at these confidant generals and chewed them with a smile on his old face and said, "Comrades, we have worked hard these days and two nights. We have created a miracle in modern military history and conquered the terrifying wasteland. We should have let everyone have a good rest for a long time and have a delicious meal, but due to limited supplies, I, the commander of the army, can only greet everyone with such rough food."

Colonel Kulik, the commander of the 22nd Infantry Division, is a rare thin man in the army. His face has a protruding cheekbones and his skin is close to the bones. His whole face looks like a sharp engineer shovel, and a shrapnel is cut out.

The scar extends from his right cheek to the corner of his left mouth, with a fierce expression. He is the number one tough character in the First Army of Hongqi. At this time, the colonel with a fierce expression actually smiled, drank the last bit of soup in his helmet, put down the dagger with satisfaction, and said, "This is the best meal since he set out."

Tupolev, the commander of the 231st Infantry Division, also rubbed his chubby hands and said with a smile: "Yes, we haven't eaten fresh meat for a long time. Thanks to the commander's treat, we can have a good time!"

Major General Tokarev said: "When I take Changchun, I will prepare a grand celebration for my comrades, and I will eat the whole fish banquet. The most delicious fish in Songhua River, a dish of one fish, served more than fifty dishes without repetition, and the most mellow and strongest wine in China, drink it as boiling water!"

The generals cheered: "Ula!"

After making a few jokes, Major General Tokarev suddenly straightened his back, and the generals also lowered their smiles on his face, and his expression became severe, waiting for the commander's order. Major General Tokarev looked around the generals and said in a deep voice: "I know that after struggling in that haunted wasteland for a day and two nights, everyone was very tired. Many tanks and armored vehicles also needed emergency repairs to recover to their best condition. We must rest for at least eight hours before we can recover our physical strength! But we don't have so much time. The attack of the Fifth Guards Army on Songyuan has started, and we have been exposed. We must take advantage of the chaos and panic to launch a decisive attack. Once they can stabilize their position, we will not only waste our worries of hundreds of miles, but we may also fall into the heavy bags of the Chinese army.

During the siege, it eventually became the first Soviet army to be annihilated by the Chinese army since the war started! Therefore, I ordered that the entire army should not stay and immediately attack Jilin and Shulan along the railway, threatening Changchun! As vanguard troops, the 75th Armored Brigade and the 22nd Infantry Division should not take into account the rear, and do not think about occupying the Chinese army's positions. Just rush forward and destroy the Chinese army's air defense positions and stations along the route! The 77th Armored Brigade and the 39th Infantry Division maintain a distance of fifteen to twenty kilometers from the 22nd Infantry Division, and attack alternately in waves. The elite field army of the Chinese army likes to let go of our vanguard troops and go back to challenge the logistics forces with weak combat effectiveness to start. You can keep this distance. If the Chinese army detours, they will be sandwiched in the middle and annihilated on the spot!”

"The 231st and 300th Infantry Division are cut off, the Chinese army will definitely draw the elite 39th Army from Hunchun to reinforce Songyuan. You cut off the railway and give them a surprise! The 361st Infantry Division and the 257th Armored Brigade are directly commanded by the Army Command as internal mobile units! My only requirement for you is: break through the Chinese army's defense line at all costs and turn this section of the railway into a sea of ​​fire!" Tokarev pointed to the railway in the distance and said sternly: "Don't tell me that there is not enough ammunition and oil. I have prepared endless ammunition, oil and food for you, right on that railway! Want? Exchange it with blood!"

The generals' faces flushed red and they screamed wildly: "I will win! I will win!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

Hundreds of 152mm towing artillery fired a terrifying roar towards the railway, which was only 11 or 2 kilometers away from it. The Chinese anti-aircraft artillery troops guarding both sides of the railway were shocked as the sky was shining brightly by artillery fire. Then rows of fire meteors came in the air with death-like flames and fell down! The ground was violently shaken, and rows of black and red fireballs rushed up, and the explosion light flashed continuously. The sleepers and rails were twisted down by large pieces in the lightning and lightning, and the five hundred meters long section was beaten into a fire dragon with flames in the blink of an eye! Then, a whistling sound came from the sky, as if scraping up.

After a terrible hurricane, two BM-30 self-propelled rocket artillery battalions gathered fire and fired. The scorching air flow swept through, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. A small town on the railway was instantly submerged by the turbulent flames. The last thing most Chinese soldiers stationed inside saw was the bright red fire fog swept through at a speed of three thousand meters per second... Even the rumbling cannons could not suppress the crazy howls from the tens of thousands of throats of the Red Flag First Army. The hideous figures of the t-72 and t-80 main battle tanks gradually became clear in the flames. They were not ten or eight, but more than one hundred, and they rolled over the bushes on the side of the railway and rushed towards the railway!

Rumble———

A thunderous roar came from more than ten kilometers away. A military train that was rushing on the railway was hit by a bm-30 rocket launcher. The front of the car was blown to pieces and immediately overturned, and a large fire broke out. The shells kept flying. The fire heads were lit on the paralyzed dragon. The ammunition filled with the car was inevitably detonated. The car wreath turned into giant bombs, turning into huge fireballs and soaring into the sky. The shock wave spread one by one, blowing everything into powder. The soldiers in the car

Before they realized what kind of misfortune they had encountered, their consciousness had been wiped out together with their bodies. In the earth-shaking explosion, the 22nd Infantry Division and the 75th Armored Brigade rushed onto the railway. In the sky-storming fire, the Chinese soldiers could even use the badges on their military uniforms to judge the ranks of each of them in preparation! But this was meaningless. When facing the surging armored troops, the air defense forces could only be slaughtered. Can they judge the identity of the enemy and not change anything!

However, even in a battle with such a huge gap in strength, victory is not easy to obtain. Under the command of the surviving officer, the Chinese soldiers shook their anti-aircraft guns into a flat-fire state and fired fiercely at the surging tank troops. The shells hit the front armor of the tank, and the reaction armor was beaten to pieces and flew around the earth. Without armor-piercing shells, these anti-aircraft guns could not do anything to the main battle tanks with thick skin, but the armored vehicles were not so lucky. In the dense sound of guns, armored vehicles that were out of the tank protection were hit one by one, and immediately turned into burning fireballs! The 22nd Infantry Division's "Nona" 120mm self-propelled mortar howitzer was towards the remaining

The anti-aircraft artillery fire point mercilessly poured out the bullet rain, blowing the fire point into a sea of ​​fire. The shooters and loaders of the Chinese anti-aircraft artillery battalion were thrown into high altitude by the shock wave and then tore it apart. A half-underground small ammunition depot was penetrated by a vertically falling high-explosive bomb, causing a violent explosion. Several 100mm anti-aircraft artillery weighing several tons were thrown up to more than ten meters high. In the purgatory sea of ​​fire, the anti-aircraft artillery firepower quickly weakened, but it never stopped. The Chinese soldiers seemed to have never known why they escaped.

As long as there is still a shell, they will not stop fighting. They operated anti-aircraft guns to shoot wildly at Soviet tanks at a distance of hundreds of meters, dozens or even dozens of meters, allowing the shells and machine gun bullets from the tank to tear their comrades one by one, and let blood arrows spray their faces, their bodies, anti-aircraft guns and even shells. There was no panic or hesitation, and the barrels were red and still firing. Until the Soviet tanks rolled over them, the resistance would stop.

The battle ended within fifteen minutes. An anti-aircraft artillery battalion stationed here was wiped out under the devastating Soviet attack, with only five people surviving. The Soviet army did not stop at all, and ran over the battlefield where the corpse was buried, and rushed to the position of the next anti-aircraft artillery battalion along the railway. Half an hour later, the same battle broke out at a station. The Chinese anti-aircraft artillery troops pulled the anti-aircraft artillery to the platform and swept towards the Soviet tanks sweeping along the railway. Here the Soviet army even saw the tanks: it was an infantry regiment that had retreated from Shulan to rest. The anti-aircraft artillery shells swept from all directions, wrapping the Soviet armored troops in a dense firepower net. Tanks were hit by sparks. The Chinese Type 59 tanks took the opportunity to rush out of the station. The 105mm smoothbore gun barrel was raised high, spraying smoke flames that seemed to be bigger than the body of the car. The tail wing was stably unsheathed.

The armored bombs came out, attacking the arrogant T-72 and T-80! These armored soldiers were not afraid of death, but their strength was too disparate. Their bravery could not win the hope of victory for them. If it was the main battle of 68 or 69a, they would not be at a disadvantage against T-80 and T-72. Even 59-2a still had the power to fight. However, these old 59, equipped with 100 or 105mm smoothbore guns, met the main battle tanks of the Soviet army, and had no chance. The First Red Flag Army obviously had fought with the Old 59, and they were very clear about the fatal weakness of the weak ability of the Old 59 night battle: a platoon or even a company had an infrared detection system. You can find the Soviet tanks hiding in the dark and command other tanks to fire. As long as you kill these command tanks, the remaining tanks will become blind before the bayonets are red!

Boom boom boom boom!

Soviet tanks opened fire one after another. Most of the shells in the first round of fire were flying towards the command tanks. Only a loud roar was heard, and several command tanks were blown off their turrets one by one. The remaining twenty tanks suddenly became chaotic, and under the fierce attack of the Soviet tank group, they turned into burning scrap iron one by one. After killing this armored force with slight losses, the Soviet army

The tank group rushed towards the platform while shooting. Rocket artillery shells fell like rain, forming a barrage of Xu Jin, rolling forward like a rolling fire wall. Houses, concrete fortifications, and anti-aircraft cannons that were firing frantically in this large-scale explosion. An infantry regiment and an anti-aircraft cannon that were forced to retreat and rest on the front line could not withstand such a crazy impact. The outer positions of the station were soon lost.

Then, Soviet tanks and infantry rushed into the station like a tide. The defenders fought to the death and fought to the death with anti-aircraft guns, anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers and anti-tank grenades. They fell in large numbers while machine guns swept the tanks, and the Soviet army also paid a considerable price. More than a dozen T-72s were destroyed by these crazy infantry. The burning tank wreckage was surrounded by piles of corpses. The Soviet army and the Chinese soldiers fought together and did not separate until they died.

After an hour of hard fighting, the 22nd Infantry Division wades through the blood that has soaked its ankles and raises the military flag on the platform. Major General Tokarev is right. He really prepared endless supplies for everyone. In this station, they seized more than 50 caravans of Chinese troops that had no time to destroy, including ammunition, diesel, lubricant, individual rations, canned meat... Everything is there, and it is piled up like a mountain. Now these things belong to them.

Colonel Kulik looked at the carriage filled with supplies, with a cold expression and ordered: "Continue to move forward and do not stop at all. Our goal is Changchun! As for the oil and ammunition consumed in the battle, naturally, a logistics force will deliver it to us!"

The 22nd Infantry Division and the 75th Armored Brigade all screamed: "Changchun! Changchun!" He threw down the mountains of spoils and set out straight, without taking a can of a cookie. As the division commander said, these will naturally be sent to them. What they have to do now is to attack, attack, and attack again! Tired? The Soviet Red Army did not know what fatigue is. Oil and ammunition? There are everywhere along the railway, and it can be used to intercept a series of troops for a while! Colonel Kulik implemented Major General Tokarev's orders to the end, without taking any spoils, without stopping, and occupying any position. He just charged along the railway, like an extremely sharp iron arrow, pointing directly to the east gate of Changchun - Jilin City!

There were also rumbling cannons coming from behind, and hundreds of tracer streams cut the night sky into pieces. The explosion flashed like festival fireworks reflecting the night sky. The rear guard of the Hongqi First Army, who was transferred from the Hunchun battlefield to reinforce Changchun, had a fire. Two powerful brigades with glorious history and fine traditions collided on the railway that had been broken, splashing blood rain. Colonel Kulik ignored the battle behind and rushed forward. At about 11 o'clock in the evening, the vanguard of the 22nd Infantry Division rushed into Jilin city and fought fiercely with the Chinese army guarding Jilin city. Now they are only 80 kilometers away from Changchun. The main force of the Hongqi First Army has been continuously fighting, and Jilin can't last long. The fifth

The Guards Army also entered the city of Songyuan and was expected to take down Songyuan before dawn. The gates to the east and west of Changchun were about to be knocked open. The situation on the battlefield in the northeast was as dangerous as a pile of eggs.
