    Soon, his order was issued.

    The Japanese army began to mobilize troops overnight and went to the Hailar area.

    But during this process, Xia Yang's troops had left Hylar City and began to attack some Japanese-occupied cities around Hylar.

    After all, there are many Japanese army material reserves in these cities, and these are all within the attack range of Xia Yang and the others.

    After the battle in Hylar ended, General Yang said goodbye to Xia Yang directly.

    Xia Yang didn¡¯t want to keep him because he had already sent people to clean up the two key traitors.

    Of course, when talking to General Yang about these two people, they were unfortunately hit by Japanese mortars during yesterday's battle and died on the battlefield. Xia Yang deeply regretted this.

    General Yang was very sad after hearing this, but he had no choice but to take the ashes of the two people away.

    However, Xia Yang said with great regret that after the two warriors were hit by Japanese mortars, they were blown up by the powerful mortars and no bones were left. Not to mention ashes, there was no way to piece together a complete body.  .

    General Yang had no choice but to take some supplies given to him by Xia Yang and leave with the remaining soldiers to join the main force and continue to lead the anti-alliance struggle in the rear of the Japanese invaders.

    Before leaving, General Yang paid a very solemn military salute to Xia Yang, and then said: "Commander Xia, if China can have more anti-Japanese comrades like you, the Japanese army will not be defeated!"

    Xia Yang looked at General Yang's resolute eyes and said seriously: "China will not be destroyed, and the Japanese army will be defeated! General, be careful. After the war of resistance is won, I will treat you to a drink!"

    General Yang listened and laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay! Then after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Commander Xia and I will sit down together and have a few drinks."

    After saying that, he mounted his war horse, led the anti-Union soldiers, and ran towards the east.

    Xia Yang looked at General Yang's back and muttered silently: "I wonder if the general can drink that bowl of wine!" After saying this, he sighed and led his troops to attack the next one.  Goal march.

    Over the next five days, Xia Yang's troops began to conduct large-scale attacks on the Japanese army's material storage locations near Hailar and the Japanese army's transportation lines.

    The Japanese army has more than 200,000 troops on the front line. Just eating every day consumes an astronomical amount of food.

    And the troops led by Xia Yang attacked the Japanese transport troops and material storage points, forcing these 200,000 people to tighten their belts.

    In just five days, the troops led by Xia Yang attacked ten Japanese transport units.  These transportation forces include railway transportation, automobile transportation, and mule and horse transportation.

    ? Some of them transport weapons and ammunition, and some transport food and other supplies.  These are all within the attack range of Xia Yang and others.

    But the Japanese army in the Hailar area had no choice.

    Because the troops they can mobilize at this time are basically the local security forces.  However, the combat effectiveness of these security forces is worrying. They are struggling to fight against the poorly equipped Anti-Japanese Alliance, let alone the well-equipped and well-trained Kagel Combat Brigade.

    Therefore, many Japanese troops tend to huddle in their strongholds and the towns they occupy to avoid being directly destroyed.

    Before the Japanese encirclement and suppression forces of the two divisions and two brigades arrived in the Hailar area, they basically had no ability to launch a decent counterattack against Xia Yang's troops of tens of thousands.

    When Xia Yang's troops were wreaking havoc in the rear of the Japanese army, General Zhukov began to take action.

    They launched a frontal attack on the Japanese army at the end of June 1939.

    The reason for launching the attack at this time is mainly based on the following points.

    First of all, the Japanese army's transportation supplies were damaged by Xia Yang's troops, which caused the Japanese army to be unable to keep up with the material supply at this time.  If the Soviets launched a fierce attack at this time, the Japanese army would be in an embarrassing situation of insufficient ammunition after exhausting their stored ammunition.

    In addition, two field airports in Hailar were destroyed, and a large number of fighter jets and bombers were blown to pieces by Xia Yang's troops.  This allowed the Soviet Air Force to achieve sufficient air superiority at this time.

    The most important thing is that the Soviet troops and corresponding supplies are all in place.  Zhukov already had full confidence to launch such a large-scale frontal attackfighting.

    On the other side, the Japanese also have the same idea.

    Michutaro Komatsubara looked at the military map, then placed his finger on the area where the Soviets were stationed and said: "The troops will launch a full-line offensive tomorrow morning. Our rear transportation lines have encountered some troubles, and we can't delay it any longer.

    Our current food reserves, as well as other ammunition and material reserves, are enough for us to carry out operations for a week.  As long as we open up the situation on the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian army that is causing trouble behind us will have very little impact on us.

    We can even mobilize some of our troops to cooperate with the troops sent by the Kwantung Army to encircle and suppress that troops.  "

    After saying that, he looked at the commander of the 18th Division, Ushijima Sadao, and said, "Ushijima-kun, how are your 18th Division's preparations as the vanguard now?"

    Ushijima Sadao immediately responded loudly: "No problem. The brigades and companies under our division are ready for battle. By then, I hope that the armored troops of the 23rd Division can be on the front and help us.  Provide support.¡±

    Michutaro Komatsubara said: "No problem, the armored units of the 23rd Division will provide sufficient combat support for your army. At the same time, the heavy artillery regiment will also try its best to concentrate artillery fire on the frontal battlefield to provide artillery support for your attack.  "

    After saying this, he turned his attention to Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, the commander of the 109th Division, and Seishiro Itagaki, the commander of the 5th Division who was later transferred.

    "The divisions of His Excellency Seishiro Itagaki and Shigeho Yamaoka will serve as the offensive forces on the flanks to contain the Soviet troops on both wings." Michutaro Komatsubara said.

    Itagaki Seishiro looked at him, and then said calmly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I think our Fifth Division should be responsible for the frontal attack. Although the 18th Division is a very elite force, after all, it has been stationed in Japan for a long time.  The combat experience of the native Kurume is not inferior to that of our fifth division.
