    Intense explosions exploded across the mountains, and there were tragic scenes everywhere.

    Mountain combat is actually the most disadvantageous to the attacking side among all combat modes.

    Most of the shells fired by the artillery combat unit will be avoided by the defending side using reverse slope fortifications or tunnels. The Japanese soldiers who cannot effectively destroy the mountaintop will only continue to receive reports of battle damage to the armored forces.

    The Soviet army advanced vigorously, and the Japanese army retreated steadily.

    Starlight shines on the earth and bloody battles are still going on in some areas.

    Many lives are lost every minute, but once the machine of war starts running, it is difficult to stop.

    "Today we will retreat an extra three kilometers to give the Soviet army some sweetness, which will allow more Soviet troops to come in. The entire mountainous area here is our stomach, and even one million Soviet troops can swallow it."

    "Okay! I'll go arrange it!"

    Fang Tianlang looked at the sky, another day would become history.

    Giving the Soviet army a chance to make big strides forward can also restore some confidence to the Soviet commanders.

    Playing the long game to catch the big fish, the Soviet army currently attacking only has about 100,000 soldiers, and at least another 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers are needed to be considered a good battle.

    The Japanese troops everywhere accelerated their retreat slightly. The Soviet troops grabbed some high ground but still only scratched the surface.

    If the Soviet army wants to fight for a long time, then seizing some high defensive positions will naturally be helpful in the subsequent battles.

    The reality is so cruel. The Soviet army, which only wants to conduct lightning operations for a week, obviously does not need too many defensive positions. It makes no sense to give up after occupying them.

    The Japanese soldiers entered the new defensive position, and there was silence all around.

    The Soviet armored forces advanced a few kilometers further along the communication line before launching defense on the spot.

    In accordance with the instructions, the Japanese divisions did not attack the Soviet troops on the front line at night. They allowed the Soviet troops to have a good rest before continuing deep into the mountainous areas. They waited until the Soviet troops were about ten kilometers deep before launching a strong counterattack.

    Even if the Soviet troops want to withdraw, they will have to pay a huge price. Just one wave of dozens of fighter-bombers dropping bombs on a ten-kilometer mountain road can basically cut off all retreat routes.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The night was as quiet as water, and the Soviet troops entered a state of rest everywhere.

    Although the advancing attack on the second day was much faster than the first day, the casualties also increased significantly. The total casualties of 7,200 soldiers plus the losses of tanks and fighter planes was really a terrible number.

    The combat effectiveness displayed by the Japanese army in front of them is at least three or four times that of the Kwantung Army.

    "Have a good sleep. On the third day tomorrow, Lao Maozi will be surrounded. You can swallow it, but you can't digest it. This is fate, haha"

    Fang Tianlang wrote down some numbers in a small book and looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock at night.

    A new day of fighting will begin in six or seven hours. The Soviet army's three-way attack will definitely encircle and fight, hoping to kill tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

    The encirclement operation will definitely be successful, but at most it can only encircle one or two thousand Japanese soldiers on a few hills.

    Let the Soviet army attack from the rear and then use intensive firepower to kill the effective forces. The Soviet tanks cannot climb the hill and can only provide limited fire support at the foot of the mountain.

    In the misty night, the roar of the tank engine could be heard vaguely, and the fuel exhaust gas drifted away in the wind.

    The Soviet army mobilized combat units into designated positions to prepare for cutting and encircling several mountainous areas after dawn.

    The Soviet commanders were eager to see the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the ground. After each battle, they could only see dozens of corpses of Japanese soldiers, which was completely disproportionate.

    Nearly two thousand artillery pieces participated in the battle, but the effect was not very obvious. The violent shelling could not cause widespread death of the Japanese army.

    The Soviet army mobilized in the dark night, and nearly 10,000 soldiers entered designated positions to stand by.

    The Japanese army also withdrew some of its main combat units from the pockets that were about to close, allowing the Soviet army to attack around a small number of defensive troops and then using artillery from the outside to kill the Soviet soldiers climbing the mountain. It would definitely be more effective with half the effort.

    "Stop making a sound! Leave quickly!"

    The figures slowly disappeared, and the Japanese soldiers looked back at the positions they held ten hours ago with relaxed expressions.

    Withdrawing more than 90% of the Soviet defense force before the heavy firepower of the Soviet army is deployed, even if the entire hilltop is flattened by heavy firepower, there will not be too many casualties.

    "Boom! Boom!"

    The dawn sun rose, and the Soviet artillery bombardment and air raids began at the same time.

    Soviet system on the groundThe vehicles began to fight crosswise, and the three front lines quickly moved closer to each other, trying to swallow up all Japanese combat units within a hundred square kilometers at once.

    Although it is in the mountains, the tactical skills on the plains can also show their strength, but they need to face more difficulties.

    The Soviet cutting operations were in full swing. The Japanese army followed the plan and launched reconnaissance planes to target the areas with the highest concentration of Soviet combat units and then bombarded them with heavy artillery.

    Spot a target and immediately bombard dozens of large-caliber anti-explosive grenades.

    The Japanese attack tactics are simple and simple without any fancy, but the attack effect is also the best.

    The Soviet soldiers were unable to react at all to the sudden falling shells. After the roar, dozens of charred craters of varying depths were left on the ground, followed by bloody corpses.

    "Take away the wounded! Call the air force! Bomb the Japanese artillery positions!"

    "Hold on! We will surround our opponents in no time!"

    The cutting operation initiated by the Soviet army at 6 a.m. was successfully completed at 11 noon. The three front arrows converged to completely separate the two areas.

    The Soviet commander estimated that there were approximately 6,000 to 10,000 Japanese soldiers surrounded, but the actual number was only 2,400.

    There were approximately 300 to 400 Japanese soldiers on each of the seven highland defensive positions, waiting for the Soviet attack. The coordinates around all defensive positions were in the artillery commander's mind. The forward combat unit reported the coordinates over the radio and waited a moment.  Then you can see the shells whizzing in.

    The Soviet army completed the cutting operation and after a short rest launched attacks on various highland defense positions.

    Artillery bombardment and air strikes soon shrouded all highland defense positions in thick fireworks. They had to be bombarded with heavy firepower before launching an attack, otherwise the number of casualties among soldiers would have been astonishing.

    "Lao Maozi, this ammunition consumption is not bad! The logistics department must be exhausted!"

    "Every hilltop is blasted like this! It costs dozens of tons at least!"

    "Your Excellency, Commander! Over there! There's a plane down there! Look!"

    A Soviet fighter-bomber fell from the sky.

    Fang Tianlang watched with interest as the fighter plane crashed to the ground and exploded into a large cloud of fireworks.

    The Japanese army in front of them has mastered various tactical techniques. If the Soviet army fully evacuates from the peninsula and leaves the Japanese army, it is also a good option. It is more meaningful to enter various parts of the Northeast and eliminate some bandits as soon as possible than to stay on the peninsula.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
