    Xia Yang said: "No, we won't attack their main position. The Japanese army, which no longer has much ammunition, cannot pose a great threat to us. What's more, the main position of the Itagaki Division has to deal with the Soviet attack. It is impossible to continue  Deploy troops to encircle and suppress us."

    "Then you mean to rush in through a gap and then rush directly into the Japanese army?" Hu Sandao said.

    "That's right, like a long knife, it directly pierced the Japanese defense line and divided the entire battlefield. The Japanese army was already at the end of its war effort. I don't believe that if we do this, their troops will not fall into a rout.  "Xia Yang said.

    Hu Sandao: "Do the Soviets know about our actions?"

    Xia Yang said: "General Zhukov has agreed to my plan and will dispatch two armored regiments to cooperate with our operations. Fighters and bombers will also provide full support for our operations."

    After hearing this, Hu Sanyi clapped his hands and said: "With the addition of two armored regiments, this battle will be easier to fight. Although there are still a lot of Japs, without sufficient ammunition, they just have no fangs."  The sharp-toothed wolf can no longer pose any threat to us."

    ¡°Notify the troops immediately, enter the predetermined combat position, and then wait until evening to launch an attack on the flank of Itagaki Division.¡± Xia Yang said.

    Hu San immediately said: "Yes, Master."

    Night falls quickly, and smoke can be seen flying everywhere in the vast wilderness.

    Xia Yang stood on the top of a tank, and then used the high-power telescope in his hand to look at the Itagaki Division's flank position in the distance.

    In front of that position, there were already many corpses of Soviets and Mongolians, as well as some burning chariots and the corpses of killed war horses.

    That was left in front of the Japanese position when the Mongolian Soviet army charged some time ago.

    Their attack put a certain amount of pressure on Itagaki Division's flanking position, but they did not capture that position.

    That hillside is different from other gentle slopes. It has a steeper slope, and in front of the hillside position, the Japanese also dug a trench for defense against tanks.

    The ravine is fast enough. If the tank troops want to pass through, they can only go around or fill the ravine with sandbags to build a passage for the tank.

    The troops that attacked before were blocked because of the existence of this ravine, and hundreds of people lost their lives in vain.

    "Have you found all the logs?" Xia Yang asked Liu Fudong.

    Liu Fudong wiped the sweat from his forehead. His beard became thicker. When he heard this, he said: "It's done. Our automobile unit ran to a forest more than ten kilometers away and cut down dozens of trees.  tree.¡±

    These logs are not used to build houses, but to build bridges.

    The width of those trenches is about two meters. Although it cannot stop infantry and cavalry, it is enough to allow tanks and armored vehicles to pass.

    For the Japanese army, cavalry and infantry are much easier to deal with than tanks and armored vehicles with fierce firepower and thick skin and flesh.

    Those logs were tied to the tank by Xia Yang and others with steel wires. When they approached the ravine, they asked the infantry to remove the logs from the tank under the cover of the tank's firepower and build them directly on the ravine.  A wooden bridge emerged for tanks to pass through.

    At this time, the Japanese army did not have enough ammunition and could not suppress the infantry well.  Xia Yang has full confidence in this plan.

    Looking at the sunset in the distance, Xia Yang glanced at his watch. It was just six o'clock in the evening, and there was still more than an hour before dark.

    This time is enough for them to complete an attack.

    If the first attack fails, Xia Yang has also prepared a second wave of offensive troops, or even a third wave of attacks.

    What he has to do is to take down the Itagaki division's flank positions within two hours.  Then he led his troops to directly attack the depth of the Japanese army and cut the Japanese defense line from the middle.

    As for the follow-up Soviet army, whether it will send troops to attack the main position of Itagaki Division from this opened flank position is not something Xia Yang needs to consider.

    "The artillery troops began shelling, and the offensive troops began to attack the Japanese flank positions." Xia Yang immediately ordered.

    With his order, the rear artillery positions that had been prepared for a long time immediately began to calibrate the ballistics and conduct a large-scale bombardment of the Japanese flank positions.??

    They have enough artillery shells and will not skimp on ammunition at all.  A shower of artillery shells, amidst bursts of whistling sounds, fell on the Japanese position.

    After the violent explosion, the shells almost tore apart the Japanese position under the setting sun.  The overturned soil flew to an altitude of more than ten meters, and flying up with it were some broken arms and limbs of Japanese soldiers.

    ¡°Hidden!!!¡±

    The Japanese commander¡¯s roar echoed on the battlefield.  The Japanese soldiers who were chatting on the position suddenly panicked and got into the trench to avoid the shells landing above their heads.

    At this moment, they also tasted the feeling of the Chinese army being bombarded by artillery on the Chinese battlefield.

    The diffuse smoke almost obscured the entire sky.  The Japanese soldiers were huddled in the trench, praying that those damn shells would not fall in the trench where they were.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the bombardment that blocked the sky and the sun was finally over.

    But after the bombardment ends, it means that the attack will begin.  The Japanese soldiers here are all veterans, so you can¡¯t help but understand this.

    Sure enough, the commander¡¯s voice reached their ears.

    "Entering the combat position, the enemy troops began to attack again." The Japanese squad leaders shouted, driving their soldiers from the trenches to the defensive positions in front.

    At this time, on the battlefield where the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated, the Japanese soldiers could already see the tanks and armored vehicles behind the gunpowder smoke that covered the infantry's previous charge.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
