    Lying on the shell box, the hazy General Zhukov jumped up suddenly and ran to the tent door in a few steps. Without a telescope, he could see that in addition to the south direction, there were countless other three directions.  The artillery shells, dragging dark red tail flames in the dark night sky, continued to fall on their position.

    "What? The Japanese army actually launched an attack at night!" Zhukov was shocked. Only four or five hours after the fighting subsided, the Japanese army launched another attack. "It seems that the Japanese army was determined to eat him.  Routine!" he thought.

    "Staff, call the forward position immediately and ask about the situation!" Zhukov ordered loudly.

    At this time, Lieutenant General Godayav, the chief of staff of the front army, also hurried into the tent, "Comrade Commander, the Japanese army has launched an attack again. The tent is not safe. Guards, escort Comrade Commander into the shelter immediately!" He didn't care about many things!  , ordered loudly.

    But Zhukov did not move and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, it's nothing to make a fuss about. During the day, the Japanese army can't take advantage, and the same can't be done at night. What's more, fighting at night is more conducive to our defense. However, the Japanese army in three directions  The troops all launched an attack at the same time. Why is there no movement in the direction of the Kwantung Army? It¡¯s abnormal! "

    As soon as the artillery fired, Colonel Yokota's face immediately turned pale, "Damn, the artillery attack happened at this time!" In less than five minutes, the Soviet troops on the position would notice the enemy on the high ground.  It was abnormal, not to mention that there were two infantry companies and two artillery companies defending the enemy. The team members he led were simply unable to deal with them all. Once the Soviet troops on the left and right realized that something was abnormal, they swarmed in, including  He and the Shanlin Combat Team were all crushed here.

    ¡°Hayagu!¡ªHayagu!¡± Colonel Yokota shouted in a low voice quickly and fiercely.  He had already seen that on the position, Soviet soldiers from other directions were shouting and communicating with each other, and more than half of the second batch of soldiers had not yet reached the commanding heights.

    At this time, there is no room for hesitation.  Colonel Yokota jumped into the trench, drew his command sword, and shouted: "Don't hide, rush into the Soviet fortifications immediately!" The Japanese soldiers who were still crawling on the snow immediately stood up and rushed forward like crazy.  Colonel Yokota jumped down from the trench, grabbed a soldier, swung his command sword, cut off the military iron barrel tied to the soldier going north, raised his command sword, and plunged it in hard.

    "Pu Chi" made a dull sound, and the iron barrel broke.  The liquid inside flowed out, exuding a strong smell of gasoline in the night. What more than a thousand Japanese soldiers were carrying turned out to be gasoline.

    Yokota¡¯s actions reminded the Japanese soldiers who were busy taking off the gasoline barrels from their bodies to cut the rope in pairs.  Barrels of gasoline quickly flowed into the trenches made of ice and snow, and spread along the heights to both wings.

    At this time, the Soviet soldiers, who were awakened by the sound of artillery, had discovered the abnormal situation on the commanding heights in the blink of an eye.  A dense barrage of light and heavy machine gun bullets swept over them, and the Japanese soldiers who were busy getting gasoline fell down, and the oil drums on their bodies fell down.  Before the Japanese soldier had time to put it down, the oil drum was hit by a bullet. With a "Boom!", a huge ball of fire burst out from the body. The Japanese soldier immediately became a burning man, and the smell of barbecue filled the air.

    Colonel Yokota looked at the soldiers struggling in the fire, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched a few times. Those were soldiers he had strictly trained, and they were all elites in the Kwantung Army. They were burned alive by the gasoline on their bodies.  Death, heart-wrenching pain, "Evacuate immediately!" He ordered loudly, and the remaining Japanese soldiers quickly jumped out of the trenches and rolled down the snowy slope. They all knew that in a few minutes, more than a thousand meters to the left and right,  , will become a sea of ??fire.

    Colonel Yokota was rolling on the snow. Although his body was in severe pain from the protruding snow chunks and stones, he was indeed very excited. The entire plan was completed according to his own plan, except for the sudden artillery fire.  With more than a hundred meters of soldiers away, the action was perfect.

    This is the strategy that Colonel Yokota dedicated to the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro. Facing the Soviet fortifications made of ice and snow, conventional attacks would be of no use. Yokota¡¯s plan was to send a small number of troops, mainly the mountain combat team, to  Led by himself, he made a sneak attack on the commanding heights guarded by the Soviet army, killing the Soviet sentries without disturbing other Soviet troops. Then, more than a thousand soldiers, each carrying a barrel of 30 kilograms of gasoline, based on the commanding heights.  , the gasoline will flow along the fortifications to a range of more than a thousand meters to the left and right. After all the attacking troops have withdrawn, grenades will be thrown to ignite the gasoline.

    In this way, a breakthrough with a width of more than 2,000 meters will be formed. In the flames of gasoline, it is impossible for the Soviet soldiers to survive. Then, the artillery fire will be concentrated, bombarding both sides and the rear of the breakthrough, blocking the way.The Soviet Army blocked the breach, and the Imperial Army troops immediately attacked. Controlling the breach would be equivalent to opening a big gap in the Soviet army's impregnable ice and snow defense line.

    As for whether the attacking Kwantung Army infantry can withstand the Soviet counterattack and hold the breakthrough, that is not a matter for Colonel Yokota to worry about. What he should do himself has been done, and the rest is the task of the infantry.  .

    After rolling to the foot of the mountain, Colonel Yokota turned over and jumped up. It only took a few minutes to gather his troops. When he turned around, there was already a huge fire on the commanding heights, and the flames were soaring into the sky. The figures of the Soviet soldiers were in the fire.  Running in panic, of course, there are more than a hundred imperial soldiers who stayed on the position. I am afraid that their bodies are burnt at this moment. This action is perfect.

    The only thing that made Colonel Yokota regretful was that according to his plan, not a single soldier would be killed or injured in this operation. He would quietly attack and evacuate quietly, leaving only more than three tons of gasoline and fire all over the place for the Soviets. However, Amaterasu  With the blessing of God, a strong wind blew up at night, giving him the greatest cover for his actions. This seemingly risky plan was finally completed. "Return to the team!" He gave a short order, and the figures of the Japanese soldiers disappeared into the night.

    About three kilometers away from the commanding heights of the burning Soviet position, several natural boulders formed a clever hiding place. General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, rubbed his hands excitedly and hurriedly walked on the snow.  Walking back and forth, the shiny riding boots stepped on the snow, making a "creak-creak!" noise, "Kaishi! - Big and beautiful! It's a perfect move! - This Yokota is really good  "Yes!" Even though he was accompanied by more than a dozen generals from the headquarters, General Nanjiro did not hide his praise for Yokota.

    I remembered that before I took action, after hearing Colonel Yokota's plan, I was so surprised that I couldn't help but say, "This guy must have gone crazy because he wanted to make a contribution. Such an unreliable action made him run away."  It¡¯s really ridiculous to dedicate it to yourself!¡± However, as Yokota elaborated in depth, he gradually became attracted. Perhaps, this was an opportunity to break through Zhukov¡¯s ice and snow defense line.

    Even if it fails, you can still try it. Anyway, if the operation fails, the dispensable mountain combat team will be lost. This is also the main reason why General Nanjiro approved Colonel Yokota's seemingly impossible plan.  If you are planning, you might as well take a sideways approach, perhaps, there will be unexpected results.

    From the bottom of his heart, General Nanjiro did not believe that Yokota's operation could be successful. However, he still ignored the dissuasion of his chief of staff and led a group of generals from the headquarters to a place only three kilometers away from the Soviet position, intending to witness it with his own eyes.  Look, this Yokota assured himself that the operation would be successful. His mountain forest combat team was so elite. Sneak attacks and whistle blows were child's play.

    To a large extent, General Nanjiro was curious. For this reason, he did not hesitate to suppress the order of Prince Zaihito, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, and all the Kwantung Army troops preparing to attack postponed the attack time for two hours.

    When the Imperial Army from other directions launched an attack, the overwhelming sound of artillery made General Nanjiro startled. He did not curse. This was a unified order from the Far East Campaign Headquarters. He had no power to stop it. He could do nothing.  , that is, the Kwantung Army troops gave Yokota two hours. "The sound of artillery must have alerted the Soviet soldiers on the position. Yokota's mountain forest combat team will most likely not be able to come back, and will be overwhelmed by the Soviet soldiers."  In the sea!" General Nanjiro thought with some regret.

    General Nanjiro shook his head ridiculously, "I actually came all the way to the front line because of a senior officer's unreliable and even bizarre actions. Is there nothing I can do? So I was rushed to the hospital because of my illness?" He said  Thinking self-deprecatingly.

    General Nanjiro, who lost interest in watching the battle, turned around and walked back, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, look, the fire! There is a fire on the commanding heights of the Soviet position!" Suddenly, a major general shouted loudly.

    General Nanjiro turned around suddenly. When he saw the fire bursting into the sky, he could hardly believe his eyes. He raised his telescope and observed it carefully. Indeed, it was the attack point planned by Colonel Yokota. "Inform me immediately."  According to the order, all artillery groups immediately carried out blockade bombardment centered on the commanding heights, within a range of four thousand meters to the left and right, and within a depth of five thousand meters of the Soviet position! "

    "At the same time as the shelling, the 107th Division and the 113th Division, as the first offensive echelon, immediately seized the breakthrough and expanded to the two wings. The three divisions belonging to the Sixth Army and the three divisions belonging to the Third Army  The three division troops, as the second echelon, immediately attack deep behind the Soviet position after the first echelon controls the breakthrough! The remaining troops, as the third attack echelon, are ready to attack at any time!"

    "Yo Xi! Break through Zhukov's defense line now!"General Jiro said to himself.
